Yangcheng

Blood, head, convulsions...

Tong Shaoxuan could feel that she was unconscious for a short time, and when she was unconscious, a woman's voice enveloped her face.

The woman picked her up and was talking.

He couldn't hear what he said clearly, the voice was far away, as if separated by a whole pool of water, Tong Shaoxuan's body was also swaying.

When consciousness gradually returned, she opened her eyes with difficulty, and found that she was being embraced by the woman who chopped off the chicken head just now.

The woman was holding a rag in her hand, and was wiping the blood on Tong Shaoxuan's face with this rag.

Tong Shaoxuan's eyeballs followed the rag, and the first sentence he spoke was:

"You just wipe my face with this thing?"

Tang Jianwei saw that she was awake, and he was afraid that the little lady would be timid, and she would be in bad luck if she was scared by a headless chicken.

These people who came and went to the Eldest Princess' Yaju, could photograph three high-ranking women's family members with one brick, and if they were still the daughters of important ministers like Tao Wanzhi, she would really have to go away without food.

Now seeing the little lady, she just disliked it as soon as she opened her mouth, and she disliked it very emphatically, which shows that she has a quick mind and should not be stupid.The fainting just now was just a moment of fright, and it should be fine after a while.

"Just wake up." Tang Jianwei explained, "Don't look at it as just a rag."

Tong Shaoxuan: "Actually?"

"Actually, it's a rag I just washed."

"...Is this a question of whether to wash or not?!"

May I ask, which girl can accept such a thing as her face being in close contact with the kitchen rag?

Tang Jianwei was amused by Tong Shaoxuan's serious and angry appearance:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't bring a handkerchief to any of the cooks. If you don't mind, let me wipe it for you with my sleeve?"

Tang Jianwei put away the rag and put on a bright smiling face.

At this moment, Tong Shaoxuan suddenly remembered why he fainted.

The scream of the chicken when its head was cut off was still in my ears, and the bloody kitchen knife was also lying on the ground at hand.

The executioner pinched Tong Shaoxuan's shoulder, and the smile on his face was still pretty, but in Tong Shaoxuan's view, this smile had already taken on a strange arc.

The charming and sweet things are all illusions, but the cruelty hidden under this beautiful skin is the truth.

Tong Shaoxuan's heart was pounding as Tang Jianwei watched him.

A picture automatically popped up in my mind——

Tang Jianwei picked up the kitchen knife in his hand again, pointed at Tong Shaoxuan's neck, and with a poisonous smile, he said terrifying words that made people shudder:

Come on, don't you want to wipe it?Come here, I'll use my knife and the flesh to wipe it for you, okay?

Tong Shaoxuan hastily turned over and rolled out of her arms.

Tang Jianwei was about to use his sleeve to help the little lady wipe off the blood, who would have thought that the little lady would no longer be dizzy, and her legs and feet would become so agile in an instant.

"Woman, the heroine is out of sight." Tong Shaoxuan stepped back and quickly moved away from her, and said, "This little girl can solve it by herself, and there is no need to bother the heroine!"

"Woman?"

Tong Shaoxuan didn't dare to stay any longer, he took three steps in parallel and left quickly.

Tang Jianwei was a little worried: "This kid must be scared and stupid..."

The cook here is a mess, chicken blood is everywhere.

Fortunately, no one saw it, so the screen was no longer acceptable, and it was thrown directly into the lake to destroy the corpse and wipe out all traces.

She picked up the headless chicken again, removed the hair under the boiling water, and continued to make chicken jelly without distraction.

Later, the eldest princess came back. Fortunately, when she came back, Tang Jianwei had just brought chicken jelly out, as if she had never left, and the eldest princess did not find fault again.

The spring appreciation gathering lasted until the evening, and the stalls were closed only after the sun was about to set.

In the second half, Princess Chang didn't know why she lost her mind, and Tao Wanzhi was all supporting the scene.

Tang Jianwei saw it and felt that she was really working hard.

Tang Linglang's group didn't come back to trouble her again, probably scared enough by her kitchen knife, they won't make trouble again for a while.

But she was thinking about the dowry A Niang left her.

She can't let the things A Niang gave her fall into the hands of the Yang family. Is there any way to get them back?

There is another immediate priority, she must find a way to make money.

Living in Liantao Mansion does not worry about eating and drinking, but the eldest sister needs to see a doctor for her illness.

There are also doctors in Liantao Mansion, but last time Tang Jianwei went to ask for a doctor, the doctor said that she only treats the eldest princess's people, and the elder sister is not the eldest princess' retainer, so she has no right to help others without authorization.

The doctor was right, Tang Jianwei didn't want to shamelessly embarrass the doctor.

In order to treat her elder sister's disease, she had invited doctors outside twice, and half of the money on hand had been spent, but her illness did not improve at all.

Sometimes the eldest sister will feel dizzy, vomit, and groggy, and need to sleep for a long time every day.

The disease that hurts the brain is the most difficult to cure.

But Tang Jianwei would not give up, it was impossible to give up.

Money was always going to run out, and she needed to earn more.

One is to heal the eldest sister's injury as soon as possible, and the other is to pave the way for the future.

The sudden death of Ye Niang was a wake-up call, knocking on Tang Jianwei's head all the time, making her understand that the world is impermanent.

Even though he was in the comfort zone at this time, he couldn't imagine how dangerous the front would be.

She has to plan ahead.

She is not alone, she is carrying the entire Tang family on her shoulders.

For several days after Yaju was frightened, Tong Shaoxuan continued to suffer from palpitations and nausea.

He ate three meals a day, ate two mouthfuls and vomited three times, and couldn't even sleep well.

She had terrible dreams.

She dreamed that Tang Jianwei was chasing her behind her with a kitchen knife, and she was flailing wildly in the sky, trying to avoid the bloody kitchen knife.

Drenched in sweat, she was about to throw Tang Jianwei away, when suddenly her vision tilted and her head rolled on the ground...

"Ahhhh-"

Tong Shaoxuan woke up with a start, not knowing whether he was woken up by the nightmare or by his own screams.

Anyway, the eldest grandson An, who was in the same room as her, was terrified by her cry, and jumped up from the bed with messy hair, still in shock:

"What's the matter, what's the matter! Sister Shaoxuan, are you okay..."

Changsun An saw her holding her chest and panting, her face was very ugly, as if she had dreamed of something extremely terrible.

Did she know that this cousin was weak since she was a child, and everyone said that she would not live to be ten years old, but she finally grew to fifteen, so don't let anything happen to her because she came to Boling to play, she really can't bear it.

"It's nothing, I had a nightmare." Tong Shaoxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"You came back from the Eldest Princess' gathering that day, something was wrong with you. What happened?"

Changsun An was really worried about her, and she should actually tell her sister the truth.

However, the dispute between Tang Jianwei and Tang Erniang that day was all about the Tang family's family affairs, and the privacy of her eldest sister's illness was also involved during the period.

If she was Tang Jianwei, she didn't want her family's affairs to be known to outsiders too much.

Keep it a secret for her.

Tong Shaoxuan then said: "Maybe it was blown by the wind and caught cold. Just rest for a few days, sister, don't worry."

"How can I not be worried. Didn't the eldest princess tell you to go, what did she do to you?!" After Changsun An finished speaking, he was taken aback by himself.

Tong Shaoxuan is only 15 years old, and he is not married yet!

If he is defiled by the eldest princess and has not been brought to his side in the end, how will Shaoxuan live for the rest of his life!

Tong Shaoxuan said: "Hey, sister, where did you go? The eldest princess didn't do anything, so she asked me to ask about Tong's family and grandparent's family. It is probably related to the eldest grandson's family. "

"Really? Nothing else?"

"Really, nothing else."

Hearing her words, Changsun An's expression was a little unnatural.

Tong Shaoxuan understood what she was thinking.

If there is a relationship with the eldest grandson's family, she, the daughter of the eldest grandson's family named "eldest grandson", is the one who should be invited to have a face-to-face chat with the eldest princess.

and so……

Tong Shaoxuan glanced at his face in the bronze mirror, which further confirmed a certain guess in his heart.

I can't sleep well at night, and I always dream about some messy things.

In the daytime, I am listless and tasteless.

Tong Shaoxuan didn't like his physique either, but it had been like this since he was a child.

She didn't know what to eat and what to use, so she had to go to see a doctor.

After taking the pulse, the doctor said that she had a lack of courage, and after a few medications, he told her:

"During this period of time, rest more, and prohibit alcohol and meat. You have a bad foundation, and you need to take care of your diet and transportation for a long time. It won't be good in a while. Eat more fruits and vegetables and go out in the green to maintain a happy life. State of mind is the most basic point."

Tong Shaoxuan thanked the doctor, went home and drank a bowl of medicine, went to bed early, and felt much better after waking up the next day.

Chaoshi ate a whole bowl of porridge, and Tong Shaoxuan regarded the doctor as a miracle doctor in his heart, and went to the front hall to find his elder sister in a refreshed manner.

Chang Sun An said to her:

"There is an elegant gathering in Xiaofeng Building tonight, pack up and let's go together."

Hearing the word "Yaju", Tong Shaoxuan was instinctively flustered.

"Don't worry, it's not the eldest princess who is going to treat guests this time. Do you still remember the exchange market supervisor I introduced to you that day? Don't look at this sister of the Lu family who is just a little eighth-rank exchange market supervisor. Mr. Pin, in the future, the position of Minister of Honglu Temple may be hers, and she has a bright future. Sister Lu has a lot of friends, and tonight's banquet is also full of people who wear gold and purple. She likes smart people the most , you, a well-known child prodigy in ten miles and eight villages, will definitely please her. I heard that Sister Lu is not married yet, maybe you can have a good relationship with her."

Tong Shaoxuan heard her talking more and more outrageous, and told her to calm down:

"Don't worry about it. I came back to Boling just to open my eyes. I don't worry about such things as marriage. My ambition is in the court. It's still early to get married."

It is true that women from Dacang devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their official careers and got married very late, but those were exceptions.

The official career is not easy, especially for those poor families who have no kindness from their ancestors and have to work hard on their own.

Now the poor family has a chance to rely on their own ability to pass the imperial examination and enter the official career, changing the fate of the whole family.

It's just that there are so many people in Dacang, men and women, who sharpen their heads and squeeze in, and the winner in the end is one in a million.

Even if one enters an official career, the battles on the official path are extremely brutal.

If you don't get married when you are young, and then fail to catch up with the official career when you are older, I am afraid that you will end up alone forever.

Changsun An pondered, he couldn't let the younger sister of the Tong family take this difficult road, so he should persuade:

"There is no conflict between becoming an official and getting married. For someone as weak as my younger sister, it must be a good thing to have someone to take care of her. Even if you don't want to get married right now, it won't delay your making friends with good people."

Seeing that Tong Shaoxuan didn't respond immediately, Changsun An said earnestly:

"Sister, tell me the truth, do you still miss Tang Jianwei?"

As soon as the words "Tang Jianwei" came out, Tong Shaoxuan was frightened again, and hurriedly said:

"The Tang family retired a long time ago. I have nothing to do with her. What do I miss about her? Sister, don't say that again."

"Then you stared at others for a long time at the gathering?"

"...It's my eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai."

Changsun An felt that there was something in Tong Shaoxuan's words, and it didn't seem like good words.

I don't know what happened, but she felt relieved that her cousin could draw a clear line with Tang Jianwei so firmly.

At least the Tong family's parents will not kill Boling to ask the teacher for their crimes.

"Then my sister has nothing to hesitate. Listen to me, go show your face tonight. There were already a few people by the Rocking Star Lake who were interested in my sister that day. will meet."

The purpose of Tong Shaoxuan coming all the way to Boling is not to stay in the house, since the elder sister of the eldest grandson's family is so concerned about her affairs, she also has to pull up her spirits to perform well.

In fact, the eldest grandson sister is right, marriage and official career are not in conflict.

She is old enough, if she doesn't look for it by herself, someone in the family will talk about her marriage.

She heard that in Boling Mansion, where the folk customs are open, many young people are looking for their lovers, and they are in love with each other.

It's so exciting to spend a lifetime with someone you love...

Tong Shaoxuan knew that his life might be very short, and maybe he would never meet someone he liked before he was buried in the earth.

But she will still yearn, yearn to meet the man who made her heart beat.

If she can get married with the person she likes in this life, then her life will be considered complete.

Tang Jianwei is still the head chef of Liantao Mansion, but luckily, since the Gathering by the Lake of Rocking Stars, the eldest princess has been silent for a long time and did not toss any more feasts.

Not even seeing anyone behind closed doors.

Some people in the mansion speculated that it might be that the eldest princess fell ill from the cold and was recuperating.

Tang Jianwei finally heaved a sigh of relief and went to find some work.

It was easy to find a job, and she was skilled. With so many restaurants in Boling Mansion, she was confident that she could find a part-time job as a chef with her culinary skills.

It's just that she didn't want to meet acquaintances, so she bought rouge specially, and used exquisite makeup techniques to trim the shape of her eyebrows and adjust the end of her eyes. After applying makeup, her facial features completely changed.

Unless it is someone who knows her very well, she will definitely not recognize her.

Going out with this heavy make-up face, if you are in the countryside, you may scare the folks in the village.

But here is Boling Mansion, a great capital city called "Brilliant and Free" by the Hu people.

In Boling, which leads the fashion trend of the whole country and even the whole world, you can show your unique personality to your heart's content.

Even if women wear men's clothes and men wear women's clothes; heavy makeup and even bare chest and arms——

As long as it is beautiful enough, it will be appreciated.

Tang Jianwei went to A Niang's restaurant, and found that the second uncle had taken over there, so he changed his way to Xiaofenglou.

Finding a job as a kitchen assistant in Xiaofeng Building went very smoothly.

Xiaofeng Tower is the Shen family's property, and before Shen Yue and Tang Guanqiu were married, they often came here for trysts.

Tang Jianwei has been here several times, and he is very familiar with the level of the chefs here, and also knows the characteristics of Xiaofenglou's dishes.

She came prepared and was hired right away.

She can't stay outside Liantao Mansion all day, but she just needs to tell the manager to come back before the curfew.

She worked from Sishi to Youshi, and could earn one hundred Wen in a whole day.

For a chef who dare not use his real name, this is already a very rich reward.

If she has enough time in the future, she will use this false identity to gradually become the head chef. After she becomes famous, she can take on some private jobs for high-profile families.

If you make a whole table, hundreds or even thousands of taels at a time is not a problem.

Tang Jianwei was very confident in himself.

With longing for the future, Tang Jianwei stuck in the kitchen of Xiaofeng Building, devoting himself to making money.

Until Zitan came to look for her in a hurry.

"Big lady... the big lady is gone!"

"what?!"

When Tang Jianwei heard her words, he nearly knocked over the bowl in his hand.
