Yangcheng

Chapter 43

Before Tang Jianwei left, Tong Shaoxuan proposed a marriage date to her.

"My mother, I checked, and the tenth day of the first lunar month next year is a good day. I want to ask your opinion."

"Okay." Tang Jianwei readily agreed, "I have no objections, as long as Ye Niang checks it out."

"Well, that's good, I'll talk to Ye Niang later."

Tang Jianwei left, and Tong Shaoxuan retracted into the quilt again.

The pain that I hadn't felt for a long time started to flare up again after Tang Jianwei left.

I didn't feel pain when I was concentrating just now, but now I feel heart-piercing when I move.

Tong Shaoxuan grinned his teeth in pain and dared not move at all.

I didn't expect Tang Jianwei to have the function of transferring pain...

Take off the back of the jade comb on the bun and look at it carefully.

This is Tang Jianwei's token to her.

The layer of enthusiasm in Tong Shaoxuan's heart has not faded, holding the warm jade in his hand, the tentacles warm up, the delicate and smooth touch is firm, but fragile.

Just like Tang Jianwei...

Tong Shaoxuan held the back of the jade comb, wondering if it was because of the medicine, even though she was in pain, she was still a little sleepy.

Pressing the token in his heart, Tong Shaoxuan fell asleep with a smile.

The date of marriage is set on the tenth day of the first lunar month.

With nearly a month left until the tenth day of the first lunar month, Tong's Mansion has already started to get busy.

Tong Changting's handwriting is beautiful, and he is responsible for writing wedding invitations.

Paste together more than a dozen pieces of red paper with the names of relatives and friends written on them, roll them into scrolls, and hand them to Tong Boyi and Tong Shaoqian.

At that time, paper was expensive, and it would cost a lot of money for every family to distribute wedding invitations.

The usual method used by Dacang civilians is to write the names of all the relatives and friends to be invited on the scroll, and then knock on the door to tell the auspicious time.

Those who are sure to attend the wedding banquet will have someone draw a circle after their name, and then the two will go to the next house.

Tong Boyi and Tong Shaoqian were in charge of running around Su County, while Tong Changting and Song Qiao wrote wedding invitations and sent them to relatives from out of town.

Song Qiao sent wedding invitations to her natal family, but Tong Changting's Yeniang was no longer there, so he sent a few invitations to his brothers and sisters.

"Let your precious eldest daughter come back quickly with her daughter-in-law." Song Qiao told Tong Changting, "Following my daughter-in-law back to her mother's house will last half a year. In the first few months, I still know how to write a letter to report my safety. What about this month? I didn't see any of them, and I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a hundred miles away. Let Uncle Chai take a trip by himself. Anian is going to get married. It's understandable that her second sister couldn't make it back from the front line, but this Isn't it a bit shameful for the eldest sister to hide?"

Tong Changting said: "Isn't it because you told her about Tang Sanniang that you frightened her, and you took your daughter-in-law to her mother's house immediately to avoid disaster."

"What's the matter, are you still blaming me? Weren't you afraid when Tang Sanniang hadn't entered the family? Wasn't you the one who scolded the world when the Tang family regretted their marriage?"

"Shhhhh, keep your voice down." Tong Changting glanced towards the west courtyard, "Don't let people hear you, it's too bad."

"I heard it, I heard it, I'm in my own home, I'm happy to say it! I said it aloud! Ah! Ahhhh—!"

Tong Changting: "..."

As soon as Tang Jianwei was mentioned, Song Qiao's anger began to rise again.

Originally, the matter of regretting the marriage was here, and it was not a day or two since she had prejudiced against the Tang family, but later Tang Jianwei came to Tong's Mansion with a sister suffering from dementia. Her background was indeed pitiful, and it was not right for her to live in the mansion. no.

Not only let her stay, but also entertain her with food and drink.

She wanted to set up a stall outside to sell, did Song Qiao say "no"?

The conflict with the Tang family was a matter of the previous generation. From Tang Jianwei's words, Song Qiao also found that Tang Jianwei seemed to be completely ignorant of the repentance of the marriage.

The grievances of the next generation should not be imposed on this generation, Song Qiao understood, so she was good enough to Tang Jianwei.

Moreover, Tang Jianwei is well-educated and reasonable, and she will pay a monthly fee to live in the house. The dishes she cooks are delicious, and she is indeed a likable girl.

But what happened to the collision with the county magistrate this time?

She wanted to do business, that was her ambition, and Song Qiao had no right to interfere.

But the matter of running into the county magistrate can be big or small, no matter whether Anian took the initiative to take the blame for her, the [-] big board hit her daughter alive, and it hit Song Qiao's heart.

Thinking of Ah Nian's injuries and the bloody scene, Song Qiao's heart trembled violently, tears could not help but fall down.

Last time, Ah Nian also hurt her shoulder to save Tang Sanniang...

Why did Ah Nian suffer when Tang Jianwei was involved?

The goodwill that had been built up with great difficulty gradually disintegrated when her daughter was injured again and again, and now Song Qiao was upset when he thought of this person.

"Okay, okay, say what you want to say, keep shouting if you want, be careful not to faint. I'm leaving."

Tong Changting turned to leave, but was dragged back by Song Qiao:

"Where are you going? Are you still running away from home?"

"Didn't you ask me to inform Ah Zhao and the others to come back? I'll go find Uncle Chai!"

Tong Changting was really afraid that Song Qiao would lose his temper. When she was angry, she didn't argue with the person who made her angry. She just knew how to push her husband down.

Every time she was in a bad mood, Tong Changting felt pain all over his body, and if he didn't run quickly, she might peel off a layer of skin in a while.

All right, there's no need for Uncle Chai to run away, he will go to Lan County himself to bring Ah Zhao and the others back.

By the time he came back, his wife should have calmed down...

Tong Shaoxuan was bedridden, so naturally he couldn't go to the academy.

Tang Jianwei took on the task of going to the academy for her.

Every day, Tang Jianwei leaves for classes at Bailu Academy on time, records all the lessons taught by her husband, and repeats them with Tong Shaoxuan after she comes back, so as not to let her miss the lessons.

The task of setting up the stall in the morning was handed over to Zitan.

Zitan has no objections, she can ask Ji Xue for help, she has worked hard all night to practice deep-fried fried dough sticks and egg-filled pancakes, although she is not as proficient as Tang Jianwei, but she can do it slowly, and the taste is not compromised.

"But Sanniang, I have something important to tell you. After you sent 50 taels last time, you bought skirts, shawls and various medicinal materials. Our treasury is seriously damaged! If you don't have you in charge earlier, It's not a big problem for me to drag Ji Xue over to work together. I can barely handle it. It's just that if you are here, I can earn three taels a morning, but I move slowly and can only earn two taels. You can send it to the East Hospital later. Food, we may be empty out soon."

Zitan has been helping Tang Jianwei manage the money, and she knows how much she has saved, but in fact there are still two big silver collars that have not been moved.Even if they rest for a month, the three of them, master and servant, still have money to live on.

However, Zitan, who gradually realized that money is not easy to earn, has learned to plan ahead. She can't wait until there is really no money left before starting to worry. She has to give Tang Jianwei some warnings in advance.

After all, Tang Jianwei has been spending too much money recently.

Especially when it was spent on Tong Shaoxuan, it was thrown at will without thinking at all.

"It's okay, don't worry." Unexpectedly, Tang Jianwei said, "I have already understood the tastes of the people in Su County, and I am ready for the next expansion plan. Get through this period first, and when Anian can go to the academy by herself, I will Just push a new food list, and our income will double in no time."

If someone else said this, Zitan would only think that this person was talking nonsense.

Doubling your income is not something that can be done casually.

But Sanniang said that Zitan was very convinced!

Not only convinced, but also looking forward to it!

"What's the new food list?" Zitan immediately perked up and asked, "Did I eat it? Or is it new?!"

Tang Jianwei also kept a secret: "You will know when the time comes. I'm leaving. You can sell as much as you can earlier. If there are too many people, let everyone wait a little bit. It's better to slow down than make mistakes. Don't take less money."

"Don't worry, a miser like me was born to collect money. When you come back and see that my head is gone, the money will be there."

Tang Jianwei: "..."

In fact, Tong Shaoxuan was quite puzzled by Tang Jianwei helping her go to school.

"No need, just make up for the missed lessons later."

Tang Jianwei denied her thoughts very seriously: "You never know which point the master teaches will have a vital impact on you. Even if you think the gentlemen's teaching is boring, what you say is the truth you already understand , but the academy is still going. In addition to guiding you to interpret the classics, the gentlemen will also tell you knowledge that is not in the classics intentionally or unconsciously. Your understanding of the center is not derived from this bit by bit Is it? On the other hand, it is also very important. I heard that Bailu Academy is one of the four major academies in Angzhou, and every time there will be high school Jinshi people? Last time, they even got a first-class Jinshi?"

Tong Shaoxuan nodded: "Yes, otherwise, I wouldn't charge such an expensive tuition every year."

"Back then you would go to Boling to play, attend banquets with your eldest grandson's sister, and meet female officials, isn't it just to pave the way for you to become an official in the future? Now you are a classmate of Bailu Academy, and it is very likely that you will become a high-ranking official in the future. Xianhuan, why do you need to go to Boling to expand your network? The network is by your side. As long as you go to the academy to study hard!"

Tong Shaoxuan was impressed by Tang Jianwei's thinking, and had to admit that she was right.

Tang Jianwei took her academy's talisman, communicated with the academy, and went to the academy for her.

When I first went there on the first day, I heard that youtiao Xi Shi had come to school for Tong Shaoxuan, but it alarmed the students in the male department, and they all flocked to the female department to watch.

It was Mr. Meng who had the wrists, holding a pointer made of bamboo and whipping out strong winds in the air. They were afraid that their palms would bloom, so they reluctantly dispersed.

Even in the women's department Tang Jianwei is quite eye-catching.

When Ge Xunqing saw her, she thought she was wrong, and said to Erniang Bai beside her:

"Who is this person? Why does he imitate my sister-in-law's style? Don't say it, he really looks like him."

Bai Erniang reminded her: "Look carefully."

"God, it's really my sister-in-law!"

Ge Xunqing immediately went up to meet her, holding her hand as if meeting her long-lost mother, and was very pleasantly surprised:

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?!"

"Isn't Ah Nian injured? I'm here to help her go to school."

"Huh? Can this also be replaced?" Bai Erniang didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Ge Xunqing immediately volunteered to be her guide and took her to school.

This morning, the women's department was Mr. Kong's class. Tang Jianwei hadn't been in school for a while, and he found it very interesting to attend the class this time.

Mr. Kong quoted scriptures, and his words were not bad, not as boring as what Tong Shaoxuan said.

It may be that Mr. Kong is old, and his speech speed is too slow, which has a hypnotic effect unconsciously; it may also be that Tong Shaoxuan is very talented. The words spoken in the book are indeed a bit boring to this child prodigy.

Today, Mr. Kong is talking about "Zuo Zhuan". It is said that in the spring of the second year of Duke Xi, the feudal lords made Chuqiu the city of Weiyan...

Tang Jianwei listened and took shorthand notes, memorizing, and found that Mr. Kong's words were more important than she thought, and he had written both the front and back of a piece of paper, but he couldn't write it down.

I went to the book case and groped around, hoping to find some paper for writing.

Even if there is no paper, just pull out some cloth or bamboo slips.

Ge Xunqing sat obliquely behind her, and Tang Jianwei's every move fell into her eyes.

Seeing her groping into the book case, she suddenly thought of an important event, and immediately gave Tang Jianwei a "shhhhhhhhhhhh" at the back of the head.

"Yangon, if you have any insight, you can come up and talk about it."

Mr. Kong's ears are not very good on weekdays. When he has something to ask for, he can't hear him no matter how you call him. Now he can hear the sound as thin as a mosquito?

The whole class looked at Ge Xunqing, Mr. Kong repeatedly "invited", she could only bite the bullet and go up, unable to utter a word, so Mr. Kong asked her to stand aside to "refresh herself".

Ge Xunqing saw that Tang Jianwei's attention was diverted by her for a while, but she still didn't give up the action of digging out the desk, so she had to close her eyes to see nothing.

Tang Jianwei fumbled for a long time, but found a piece of yellow paper that was quite good in appearance, but the yellow paper had already been painted on one side.

It's okay, you can write a lot of words on the back.

Tang Jianwei was about to turn the painting over, but he seemed to have found something, so he turned it back and took a few more glances at the painting.

In the painting is a young woman with a double bun, with red flowers attached to her eyes, her lips are cherry red and she has a bright smile. The painting reaches her shoulders, revealing a section of her clothes.

This person... looks familiar, what's the matter?

Tang Jianwei raised his head to look at Ge Xunqing, and found that Ge Xunqing, who was being punished to stand, was also looking at her, and immediately looked away after receiving her sharp gaze.

Okay, without Ge Xunqing's guilty avoidance, she still can't be sure.

The person in this painting must be himself.

Judging from the degree of wrinkle on the paper, this painting is quite old, and it is often held by people. The wrinkle in the lower left corner of the paper is the most obvious.

It seems that this painting belongs to a left-handed person.

Tong Shaoxuan eats with his left hand, and he found out from her book case, who is it but her?

The person who drew this painting is also thoughtful, and the brushwork is delicate, which largely restores Tang Jianwei's appearance when he was 15 years old.

After all, she only wore this lake green dress once on her 15th birthday.

The same is true for flower tines, most people like to stick flower tines between their eyebrows, but she doesn't like to be like others, she always likes to stick flower tines under her eyes.

However, this painting should not be painted by Tong Shaoxuan, right?

According to her family members, the trip to Boling this year was her first visit to the capital, and the two of them had never met before, how could they draw such a detailed portrait?

Tang Jianwei felt even more amazing.

So where did she get the painting?

Looking for it on purpose?Also, do you still take it out from time to time?

Tang Jianwei suddenly remembered something——

Did Qiuxin say that day that Tong Shaoxuan once recited my crooked poems?

It sounds like something like this...

It's just that there are too many things going on recently, and Tang Jianwei has long forgotten about it.

Now combined with this painting, a certain possibility slowly merged in her mind.

This kid won't be interested in me early in the morning, right?

Seeing Tang Jianwei pinching the painting, Ge Xunqing's expression changed rapidly, and now she suddenly realized that Tong Changsi's background had been completely exposed.

Ge Xunqing sighed, long thinking, long thinking, I can only help you so far.

Tang Jianwei put the painting back and stopped writing on the back of it. He also scraped together some paper, which was barely enough.

After that, Mr. Kong still spoke in an unhappy manner, but Tang Jianwei was a little distracted, remembering some omissions, so he went to the next table to correct it after class.

The next table wanted to talk to her a long time ago, so he just took this opportunity to ask her why she came to the school to take the class instead of Tong Shaoxuan, and what should I do if I spread out early during class?Is it not open yet?

Tang Jianwei answered all questions with a good temper, and other students around gathered around, asking her about Tong Shaoxuan and Boling.

Mr. Kong had left now, and Ge Xunqing, who had been scolded before leaving, finally sat back, and someone asked Tang Jianwei if he would come tomorrow.

The person who asked was Chang Erniang: "If you come, can you bring me a copy of your egg-filled biscuits? I live in Jishunfang, which happens to be two directions from your Jingyangfang. Every time I want to eat You have to travel across the entire Su County to eat it, it’s really tiring! But after eating your egg-filled pancakes, I can’t forget it! As long as I don’t go to school, I will run to buy food!”

Tang Jianwei said: "I remember you. When the academy was on vacation, you would take two tea mugs filled with soy milk and come to my place to buy a fried dough stick and an egg-filled pancake."

The second lady of the Chang family was stunned: "Boss Tang, you actually remember me!"

"I remember, not only I remember you, but I also remember that you always ask for more vegetables for filling egg pancakes. You like vegetables."

Chang Erniang was shocked. Since she was a child, except for being beaten up for failing in exams, basically no one paid attention to her.

Unexpectedly, the first person who noticed her preferences was the owner of the breakfast shop!

Still such a beautiful boss of Fried Tiao Shih Tzu!

Chang Erniang was so happy that she almost went to the table, she even acted like a baby and begged, hoping that Tang Jianwei's breakfast stall could be moved to the foot of the academy mountain.

It is unlikely that the location will be moved earlier.

Not to mention that the street at the entrance of Jingyangfang has an extraordinary flow of people, but the area under the academy mountain is only for student business, and it is deserted as soon as the students are in class, which is not as lively as in the city.

No matter how slow Zitan is, staying in Jingyangfang will definitely make more money than moving here.

However, as an excellent businessman who can record the preferences of customers, it is impossible for Tang Jianwei to give up the business of the academy.

Not only Chang Erniang, but also a large group of people around said that they wanted to have breakfast at her house in the morning, so Tang Jianwei took out a pen and recorded them one by one for everyone:

"Please leave your name and the breakfast set you want to eat, and I will prepare it for you tomorrow and send it to you."

The women's department immediately registered more than 50 sets, and the men's department also registered more than [-] sets after hearing the news.

Tang Jianwei thought about it for a while, and wrapped it up after making breakfast tomorrow, and put it directly in the little sheep. She should be able to bring it here by herself, without having to borrow a carriage from Uncle Chai.

After a whole day of harvest, I packed up my books and notes, and went down the mountain with Ge Xunqing and Bai Erniang.

Ge Xunqing is the daughter of the county magistrate's family. She learned about Tong Shaoxuan's [-]-year-old beating from Aye that night. Regardless of the curfew, she ran around in the workshop and found a few secret doors to squeeze in. Arrived at Tong's house.

She was in a coma when she saw Tong Shaoxuan, and she couldn't talk to her, but seeing her pale face already hurt her.

Later I went there again, Tong Shaoxuan was still asleep, and Ge Xunqing was worried that she would wake up again, so Tang Jianwei came to teach her, explaining that Tong Shaoxuan should be awake, but he could only sleep in bed for a while. for company.

Along the way, Ge Xunqing sighed, saying that Changsi was really reckless this time, and unexpectedly disturbed She County Magistrate, and the [-]th board members were about to fall apart.

"It hurts so much..." Ge Xunqing couldn't think about it, her teeth softened when she thought about it.

Tang Jianwei said, "It's not her fault."

"Ok?"

"Ah Nian is the board for me."

Tang Jianwei knew that he should keep a low profile. The less people knew about her secretly paying attention to She County Magistrate, the better.

But she didn't want to involve Tong Shaoxuan because of her own affairs, and let her bear a stigma that didn't belong to her.

Tang Jianwei said seriously: "It's not that she was reckless, she is not a reckless person. This is my fault, she was hurt because of me."

Tang Jianwei always greeted people with a smile, but it was a bit scary to suddenly become serious.

Bai Erniang was frightened by her, and she didn't dare to breathe.

Ge Xunqing, on the other hand, admires and feels sad—and besides, you two have a bad relationship?There is still a month to get married, so we protect each other's shortcomings!It's so sour, it makes me sour, I also want to find a sister to marry!Being loved, cared and fed by my sister!

After Tang Jianwei arrived home, she first sent Tong Shaoxuan her homework notes, and asked her to read and digest them first, and then she would come back later, and answer any doubts at that time.

"Although I feel that today's

"Well... let me see." Tong Shaoxuan was still lying on the bed, but for some reason, his hair was combed neatly, and he even put it into a delicate bun. And inserted on top of the bun.

If you look carefully, it seems that there is a thin layer of powder on it?

Tang Jianwei: "?"

You are sick in bed, why do you need to put on makeup?

Tong Shaoxuan didn't realize that Tang Jianwei was looking at her with strange eyes, and flipped through it quickly while talking: "Look at the contents of your note, today is Mr. Kong's class, right? Only he can talk in such detail... huh? This is What?"

"Oh, this is the list I registered for tomorrow's breakfast."

All of them were names of classmates she knew well, and Tong Shaoxuan immediately understood:

"Tang Jianwei, you just went to class for me, and you actually made the business into the academy? You didn't even spare the money from Bailu Academy... Boss Tang is really hardworking." Tong Shaoxuan almost laughed angrily.

"Thank you for your compliment, madam." Tang Jianwei said, "No matter where you go or in any environment, you never forget to explore business opportunities. This is the true nature of a businessman, and I am such a person. Okay, you can read your notes first, I will prepare later Meal, I have to send it to the front hall in a while, and apologize to you, Ye Niang, and the others."

"What?" Tong Shaoxuan said excitedly when he heard the food, "What about mine! I want to eat too!"

Tang Jianwei couldn't help laughing: "Naturally, you have your share. Be honest and read your notes. I will test you when I come back later."

"I've finished it."

"...When did you finish watching?" Tang Jian was slightly shocked.

"Just now, when I was talking to you."

"You can still use it to such an extent?"

"Hey, don't you want to test me? Take the test now."

Tang Jianwei really didn't believe it, he took his notes and asked three times, Tong Shaoxuan answered fluently.

"..."

Tang Jianwei looked at her like a monster, and remembered what the eldest princess said at the beginning:

"What I bestow on you is a peerless treasure."

The eldest princess is really honest and not deceiving...

"So what are you going to have for dinner tonight? Come on, tell me."

If you don't tell her again, the little rabbit will jump out of the bed in a hurry.

Tang Jianwei said: "One serving of steamed pork ribs, one serving of braised pork, and one serving of braised chicken drumsticks. The soup is tofu soup with mushrooms and vegetables. What else do you want?"

Tang Jianwei rolled his throat crazily while talking about Tong Shaoxuan: "That's all, I want it all! Give me a bowl of rice, I'm so hungry!"

"Well, you wait."

"I'm waiting for you!"

Tang Jianwei closed the door after he came out, and said in a low voice, "You're recovering and want to eat big meat, you're so beautiful."
