Yangcheng

On that day, Tang saw that Weijiao Tong Shaoqian had completed the accounts, and found that the monthly net profit of the shop had more than doubled compared to when it first opened.

Tang Jianwei was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and Tong Shaoqian asked her:

"How much is that?"

Tang Jianwei said: "You have to compare the amount with the money earned by the people in Su County. It's not a lot in Boling, but it is already a considerable income in Su County."

"Boling..." Tong Shaoqian said, "I have never been there since I grew up, and it feels quite lively. Hey? How big was the restaurant in your house before?"

What Tong Shaoqian asked was Tang Jianwei's Auntie's property, Maoming Building.

Maoming Tower is called Baichi Hualou, but it is actually eight stories high. Even if you look from the imperial city, you can see the fire-like golden tower at a glance.

Tang Jianwei talked about the interesting stories about Boling and the prosperity of Maoming Building, and Tong Shaoqian was a little longing to hear it.

Tang Jianwei looked at her a little moved, and immediately incited:

"Third Sister, if you really want to experience the prosperity of Boling and see how the restaurants in Boling are different, why don't you come with me and Anian to have a look?"

Tong Shaoqian smiled and shook his head: "How can I go? Don't say that Ye Niang is old and needs someone to take care of her. Even this food shop must be taken care of by someone."

Speaking of this, Tong Shaoqian pondered while flicking his abacus:

"A Nian will definitely leave home and go to Boling. With her intelligence, she will definitely be named on the gold list, and then she will take root in Boling with you, and I am afraid that she will never return to Su County.

"The second sister hasn't seen anyone since she joined the army. She has sent a lot of letters, but how she is doing now and who is around her, we can barely read one or two from her letters.

"As for the elder sister, she must be with the sister-in-law. Later, you are going to Boling, and you must open a new restaurant, right? At that time, the sister-in-law and her gang brothers will definitely need to support the scene. Once the sister-in-law leaves, The eldest sister will definitely follow her.

"You are all gone, if I leave too, what will happen to the shop? What will happen to Ye Niang?"

As soon as the abacus in his hand stopped, Tong Shaoqian looked at the closed hall.

The popularity of the day faded away, his eyes were full of trivialities, and Tong Shaoqin felt a sense of depression in his heart.

"I have to stay." Tong Shaoqian repeated again, not as if he was talking to Tang Jianwei, but persuading himself.

Tang Jianwei knew that their Tong family had lived in Su County for so many years, not to mention that they had already gotten used to the climate and living habits here.

All relatives, possessions and friends are here, here are their roots.

Tang Jianwei has always been looking forward to returning to Boling, but at this time, with the return of Shen Yue, he brought back important clues, and Tang Shaoxuan, who has accumulated a rich family background, is a little bit reluctant.

She was reluctant to part with the plain Su County and the green mountains and green waters here.

Song Qiaotong Changting, who was reluctant to treat her and her sister like their own daughters, was reluctant to bear all the memories left in this family.

"People are really hypocritical."

At night, when Tong Shaoxuan came to pick her up and go home together, she took Tong Shaoxuan's arm, leaned on Tong Shaoxuan's shoulder, and told Tong Shaoxuan what she thought, feeling melancholy as she walked.

"Pretty good, so cute." Tong Shaoxuan snorted and found that he was able to breathe out.

Winter is coming again in a blink of an eye, Tong Shaoxuan is in a good mood, and Tang Jianwei can cling to her again because he is afraid of the cold.

Tang Jianwei pulled her to stop, raised his head and stared at her:

"Why do I feel that I am miserable here, and you are happy?"

"Huh? Don't you all say hypocritical? Then let you be hypocritical. When you are hypocritical, I will cooperate with you and praise you for being hypocritical. Why are you still dissatisfied with being hypocritical? You are really hypocritical."

Tong Shaoxuan threw it over without panting, and Tang Jianwei almost didn't recognize the word hypocritical.

"Tong Changsi, you are so smooth-talking, but you save it to deal with outsiders! What's the deal with your daughter-in-law?"

"If I don't use my mouth to deal with others, I will deal with you."

Tang Jianwei: "??"

It suddenly became clear that Tong Changsi's "deal with" was not the "deal with" Tang Jianwei said.

This man...is getting harder and harder to deal with!

A series of "deal with" flew through his mind, and Tang Jianwei almost didn't recognize the word "deal with".

Tang Jianwei: "..."

It's not melancholy anymore.

When he got home, he saw Tang Guanqiu and Shen Yue sitting in the warm pavilion, and the door was not closed tightly. Seeing them coming back, Tang Guanqiu waved to them and let them in.

It seems to have been waiting here early in the morning.

"Sister, you haven't slept yet?" Tang Jianwei and Tong Shaoxuan took off their shoes and went in together, kneeling down by the desk.

Tang Guanqiu had a neatly folded jacket beside him, and was sewing another in his hand:

"There are still a few stitches to be sewn, you two wait a moment."

Tang Jianwei happily moved to her side, leaned on Tang Guanqiu's shoulder like a boneless person and said coquettishly:

"Is this the jacket my sister made for me?"

Tang Guanqiu said helplessly: "They are all married, and they still like to be coquettish like when they were young. You and Ah Nian each have one piece of this jacket."

"What's the matter if I have a family? I will always be three years old in front of my sister."

Tang Guanqiu was amused by her: "You have the nerve to say so?"

"I'm sorry, of course I'm sorry. But sister, why do you need to sew the jacket by yourself, instead of buying one outside? Sewing the jacket is exhausting, and it hurts the mind and eyes."

"How can the ones bought outside be better than the ones I sewed by myself? My handicraft has been passed down from my aunt."

"Oh—I'm a child with a mother again!"

Originally mentioning A Niang, Tang Guanqiu was a little sentimental, and Tang Jianwei made such a fuss, so he couldn't help laughing out:

"You... well, come and try to see if it suits you."

Tang Jianwei immediately stood up holding the jacket: "Is there any inappropriate reason for what my sister did?"

Tang Guanqiu: "That's right. You haven't grown much in the past two years. It's exactly the same as before. The size I made before must be suitable."

Tang Jianwei: "...Are you my real sister?"

Tang Guanqiu said to Tong Shaoxuan who was laughing secretly: "A Nian, this is yours, you can try it too."

Tong Shaoxuan got up quickly: "Thank you, sister!"

Tang Guanqiu can make a jacket that fits perfectly just by observing with his eyes.

Tong Shaoxuan and Tang Jianwei put on the silk jackets. They have the same style, but the colors and patterns are different.

Tong Shaoxuan's is Crane Dark Pattern Moonlight Yellow, and Tang Jianwei's is Luhua Ruyi Dark Pattern Cherry Blossom Powder.

The two stood together, like a pair of flowers and jade with deep affection.

"Great, it just fits." Tang Guanqiu couldn't help but look at it again and again, "I was afraid that Anian's legs would be long and his hands long, so I made it short."

Tang Jianwei saw the needles: "Sister, you don't know that our Tong Changsi had short legs and short hands two years ago. It was good at that time, and there was no need for fabric at that time."

Tong Shaoxuan: "No... Tang Jianwei, what's there to say! I used to be short, but I didn't start to grow! Look now, isn't it taller than you?"

"Yeah, I competed with Ah Hua and became taller."

As long as the two are together, they are never idle, and running on each other is the most daily leisure and entertainment.

Shen Yue has been sitting in the corner helping them to make tea, looking at Tang Guanqiu from time to time.

It is obvious that Tang Guanqiu is reluctant to part with his sister.

The two of them grew up together since they were young, and even after they got married, they both lived in Boling Mansion, and they could see each other every now and then.

Shen Yue knows how much Tang Guanqiu loves his sister.

They grew up together, and Shen Yue can be regarded as a witness of the deep love between the two sisters.

Now that Tang Guanqiu's illness has finally recovered, it is really cruel to separate them now.

Fearing that Tang Guanqiu would not be able to speak, when Shen Yue was about to speak for her, Tang Guanqiu spoke first:

"Shen, the emperor called back some time ago and asked Ah Ying to go to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case. We will leave in three days."

Tang Jianwei's smile froze instantly, and Tong Shaoxuan was also a little confused.

After Tang Jian was stunned for a moment, he sat back and said, "Has sister made up her mind?"

Tang Guanqiu nodded.

In fact, Tang Jianwei had already thought about this when Shen Yue came back.

If her sister recovered, she would not be able to live in the Tong Mansion for the rest of her life.

Everyone wants their own home.

Tang Jianwei had already prepared for his sister to leave.

But when this day came suddenly, Tang Jianwei found that he was not really ready to separate from his sister.

Tang Jianwei looked at Shen Yue: "Go to the south of the Yangtze River... Is this an order from the emperor?"

Shen Yue nodded.

"Is it dangerous?"

Shen Yue nodded again.

"You..." Tang Jianwei was indifferent, "My sister's illness is just a little bit better!"

Tang Guanqiu reassured her: "Ah Shen, don't scold her. It was I who promised her for a long time before she agreed. It was because of the danger that I wanted to let her go."

A sour force rushed straight to Tang Jianwei's nose, blurring her vision quickly:

"I don't trust you, sister, I can't bear to part with you."

Tang Guanqiu cried at her words, and the tears kept falling.

She hugged Tang Jianwei in her arms, stroked her back and said:

"I can't bear you either, Shen. Yeniang has been busy since she was a child, and we two sisters grew up with each other supporting each other, and we have never been separated. But... Yeniang's unjust death must be brought to light, I don't want you to be the only one Running around, I also want to contribute to our family's overturning the case."

Hearing this, Tang Jianwei sat back from her embrace, his eyes flickered between her and Shen Yue, and his expression became more serious:

"So this time the emperor appointed you to investigate the case in the south of the Yangtze River, is it to investigate the important case of military funds?"

Shen Yuedao: "The Son of Heaven ordered me to go to the south of the Yangtze River to thoroughly investigate the roots of the Lan clan. Only by sorting out the huge clan network of the Lan clan can we understand who are the stakeholders."

"Lan's?" Tong Shaoxuan couldn't help but be attracted by this surname.

Shen Yue: "Do you know the Lan family?"

Tang Jianwei: "Are you talking about the wife family of Lu Jian, the great Honglu of the dynasty? It originated from Fengzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and now it is the Lan family of the wealthy family in Beijing?"

"Exactly."

"The case of my Yeniang is related to the Lan family?"

Shen Yue said truthfully: "Now it's just a guess, and there is no substantive evidence, so I'm going to investigate."

Tang Jian's teeth itch slightly: "Alright, when the time comes, the old and new grudges will be settled together."

Tang Jianwei briefly explained the whole story of Lu Lanxin's coming to Su County to do evil, and Shen Yue sneered:

"This Lu Lanxin was just promoted in autumn, and now he is the chief of the Dianke Department under the Honglu Temple, Diankeling. This Diankeling is a seventh-rank official, responsible for receiving, welcoming and sending off foreign guests from Beijing and China. The scenery is beautiful, and there is a lot of oil and water.”

Tong Shaoxuan found out that although Shen Yue lived in Su County, he knew all the news in Beijing.

Presumably, the person whom the Son of Heaven will reuse must have her unique means. I am afraid that the entire universe has eyes and ears that can be used.

After saying this, there was a brief silence in the Snapper.

Tang Jianwei was the first to speak: "I'm leaving in three days? Is the time fixed?"

Tang Guanqiu: "Yes, the carriages and horses are ready. Ah Ying and I conceal our names and investigate secretly. Once there is any news, I will send a letter back immediately."

"In the spring of the next year, I will go to Boling with Anian to take the exam."

"Then." Tang Guanqiu held Tang Jianwei's hand tightly, "We'll see you in Boling."

Tang Guanqiu is a person who is gentle on the surface and full of resilience in his bones.

Tang Jianwei knows where she goes and does everything very well.

Tang Guanqiu and Shen Yue were about to leave Su County, Song Qiao and Tong Changting were very reluctant to leave.

Song Qiao also talked to Tong Changting: "This child has just recovered from his illness and is about to leave. Why don't he take care of him for a while longer. Hey, although the south of the Yangtze River is not far away, the climate there is different from that of Suxian County. If she happens to What if there is another headache?"

Tong Changting laughed at her: "What about marrying a daughter? You worry so much. The young couple finally reunited, so don't get involved. Besides, they have important things to do, so they have to leave. Young people, the sky is high and the earth is wide, how can you be willing?" Stay in our small place. You, take care of your body."

Of course Song Qiao knew that Tong Changting was telling the truth, but she just couldn't bear it.

The older you get, the more afraid you are of losing.

Tang Guanqiu came to accompany Song Qiao and talked for a whole day.

In some vague episodes, she had an impression of Song Qiao.

Even though many details cannot be recalled one by one, when I saw Song Qiao, I felt kind and warm like a mother.

Tang Guanqiu had told Tang Jianwei before: "Your mother-in-law is really likable. Even at the age of [-], you can still find a sincere heart from her, just like a girl."

Tang Guanqiu and Song Qiao had a special chat. They brought the clothes they had made by themselves these days, as well as the food and nourishing products they had selected together with Shen Yue, and explained to Song Qiao one by one how to use it, how to use it as medicine, What season is best to eat.

Almost fainted by her words.

Tang Guanqiu was as careful as a hair, and knew a lot, Song Qiao was stunned when he heard it, and wished he could take a pen to write it down.

Tang Guanqiu stayed in the courtyard on the Songqiao side all day, Shen Yue didn't follow her, but waited in the east courtyard.

Tang Jianwei bought a lot of things for his sister to take with him, and came to look for someone, but saw Shen Yue packing things alone, so he asked her where her sister had gone.

After Shen Yue told the truth, Tang Jianwei's expression changed slightly:

"Aren't you following? If she meets..."

Shen Yue shook her head: "She wants to chat with Mrs. Song for a while longer. I don't know when we will see you again. I don't want her to have any regrets. If you meet Ji Xue, let's do it. This is her A part of my life, I don't want to block it, I don't want to force it, she should be the most complete of her."

It was dusk, and when Tang Guanqiu was about to leave the courtyard, he saw a maid was collecting clothes.

There were a lot of clothes, and the maid had already hugged them to the full, and it was a bit difficult to pick them up with one hand, so Tang Guanqiu stepped forward to help.

Tang Guanqiu had just collected a piece of clothing when the maid glanced at her, her expression was stiff, and the movements of her hands stopped.

Because of the movement of raising his hand, the sleeve slipped off, exposing his upper arm.

At this time, Tang Guanqiu found several terrible bite marks on her upper arm.

"This..." Tang Guanqiu immediately asked her, "How did the little lady get hurt like this?"

Ji Xue immediately hid her arms, hugged all her clothes in her arms, lowered her head and said:

"It's just an accidental injury, Mrs. Tang doesn't need to worry about it."

Tang Guanqiu took the clothes out of her arms, put them in the clothes basket, took her hand, and led her to sit on a stone bench beside her.

"Miss Tang?" Ji Xue didn't know why, and tried to break free very awkwardly. In late autumn, her forehead started to sweat.

Tang Guanqiu smiled sweetly: "You sit here and wait for me."

After speaking, Tang Guanqiu hurried to the east courtyard, as if afraid that Ji Xue would run away, and came back soon, with an extra jar of ointment in his hand.

"Come." Tang Guanqiu asked her to stretch out her arms. Ji Xue had already stood up and wanted to leave, but she stayed after all.

Tang Guanqiu dipped some ointment on his ring finger, and carefully applied the ointment on Ji Xue's scar.

Little by little, spread it carefully.

"My wife also has many injuries." Tang Guanqiu said,

"She has been traveling in the army and fighting all year round, and she will bring back some scars from time to time. This ointment for removing scars is very effective. Even if it is an old scar, it will improve obviously after a month of application. My wife and I went to the market before. I saw it just in time, I thought Su County couldn't buy it, but I didn't expect it to be available, what a coincidence."

The ointment was smeared on Ji Xue's arm, and it felt cool.

Tang Guanqiu's tone of voice with a smile is smooth and steady, with a strong Boling accent, but it is different from Tang Jianwei's anxious tone, soft, and it feels different from her speaking when she was sick.

It turned out that this was Tang Guanqiu's original tone.

"This ointment is expensive." Ji Xue said, "I'm a maid, don't use expensive things on me..."

Tang Guanqiu didn't expect her to say that. He paused for a while, and looked up at Ji Xue suspiciously.

Ji Xue looked away and did not meet her eyes: "I mean it, Mrs. Tang, I..."

"Why do you say such things, little lady." Tang Guanqiu lowered his brows, feeling uncomfortable, "I see Mrs. Song and Mr. Tong Lang are very kind to everyone in the house. They must treat you like their own daughter, and they definitely don't want to You have these scars."

Ji Xue didn't say anything, her eyes were a little straight.

Tang Guanqiu deliberately wanted to make the atmosphere better: "Besides, if the little lady finds a good match in the future, the other party will definitely feel distressed when she sees your injuries."

Tang Guanqiu saw that these bite marks seemed to be made by humans, and he was a little puzzled.

Who would be willing to be cruel to such a delicate and lovely lady, biting her like this...

Thoughts were still on Ji Xue's scar, but a few tears fell down.

Tang Guanqiu looked up, and Ji Xue was staring at her arm in a daze, with tears on her face.

"I'm sorry... did I say something wrong?"

Tang Guanqiu was a little flustered, and hastily handed her a handkerchief, explaining: "I was seriously ill earlier, maybe I don't remember some things. If I violate the taboo of my little lady, I ask my little lady to forgive me."

Ji Xue didn't take her handkerchief, but wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, sniffed and laughed:

"Miss Tang, there is no need to apologize, you did nothing wrong."

Tang Guanqiu felt that there seemed to be something in her words, and the more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked.

"Little lady, can you tell me your name?"

"...Why do you want to know?"

Tang Guanqiu smiled softly and said: "I see you are very familiar. I have been living in Tongfu during my illness, and I can only recover thanks to your care. For me, you are all my benefactors, so I naturally want to remember The name of the benefactor."

After Ji Xue was silent for a while, she whispered, "Ji Xue."

"Ok?"

"Ji of the four seasons, the snow of ice and snow. My name is Ji Xue."

After Tang Guanqiu repeated it twice, his smile became even wider: "It's such a nice name, and..."

Tang Guanqiu looked at Ji Xue's face, pondered for a moment and said kindly:

"You... do have a feeling of déjà vu. I must have caused you a lot of trouble."

She solemnly thanked: "Ji Xue, thank you."
