Chapter 81
Qiuxiang is really capable, looking at her slender hands and feet, she is extremely nimble. She tidied up everything neatly, quickly and neatly, which made Dongyue feel inferior.
Tang Shen didn't have a good impression of Qiuxiang, but he didn't think she was pleasing to the eye, but seeing her so capable, he admired her somewhat.What is rare is that Hua Dingwu, a guy who has always hated women, is relieved to let Qiuxiang be by his side, and Qiuxiang will take care of everything. You must know that even Dongyue, the girl Tang Shen used to trust, Hua Dingwu Also very distrustful.
When Tang Shen usually has nothing to do at home, he likes to look at calligraphy and painting sketches. Most of his drawings are small pictures of mechanisms that he finds interesting.On the contrary, Hua Dingwu and Wen Zhengming liked these little things he painted, and they would pick a few of them occasionally.So he never throws them away, and puts them on the table. They can look at them if they like, and he doesn't care if they take them away.
When Qiuxiang went to tidy up, she arranged them one by one, and even put them in different boxes according to their functions and put them on the bookshelf. Tang Shen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.You know, he didn't explain the usefulness of those things, but this girl can understand them by herself, and she can divide them exactly. She is really knowledgeable.
Looking at Qiuxiang's busy figure, Tang Shen rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes, thinking, if the eldest brother really likes this girl and wants to go home to be a concubine, he has no objection, but he feels wronged by her.If she was not a slave, no matter how good her family background was, if she was sent to the palace, with such an intelligent manner, she probably would have a place.
Hua Dingwu watched Tang Shen staring at Qiuxiang and ignored him for a long time, couldn't help pinching his chin and turned his face back, forced him to bite, and asked unhappy: "Do you like it?"
Tang Shen rolled his eyes at him, slapped his mischievous hand off his body and asked, "We have almost packed our things, when are we leaving?"
"The day after tomorrow. Brother, please slow down." Hua Dingwu knew that someone was there, and Tang Shen would not allow him to take advantage of it, so he withdrew his hand and hugged him into his arms, pinching his fingers that were still as cool as jade, dissatisfied Frowning: "After three months of raising, there is no warmth at all."
Tang Shen laughed straight, patted his hand and comforted him: "Brother Hua said earlier that he would take care of him for three to five years, but now it's only been a few months. How can it be so easy to take care of him? No rush. And I will take care of him for a few months , I feel that my spirit is much better, and I don’t get sick much, all thanks to Brother Hua.”
Hua Dingwu thought about it and nodded.Thinking about Tang Shen's ugly complexion when he first came and his ruddy complexion now, there is really no comparison.But no matter how good it is now, it is only treating the symptoms, and the root has not been cured yet, so I still need to continue to raise it.Squeeze his face: "Since I know it in my heart, it's for your own good that I don't bother to move and take medicine."
Tang Shen groaned, and his eyeballs began to move around: "This person is always lazy, and the medicine is not a fine liquid, how can he bear it if he drinks it every day."
Hua Dingwu is angry and funny, he really can't help his naughtiness from time to time, thinking why this person has so many faces, so cute.But treating a disease is not a trivial matter, and he cannot tolerate such cunning, if he catches it, he must explain the truth.
At this time, news came in from outside that the three new generation officials and masters had come. Tang Shen immediately pushed the man beside him aside to cool off, and chatted with the three friends.
Recently, the "destination" of the three people has basically been decided. Although Hua Dingwu mentioned it to the emperor, all three of them stayed in Beijing after all.Xu Zhenqing didn't mean to be disappointed either, she seemed very calm.Tang Shen blinked his eyes twice, and stopped mentioning it.It is said that because the number of officials who have lost their official positions is very large, the emperor is very fond of the new batch of officials, and let them take office as soon as possible without even letting them go on vacation.So the three of them had no time to go home, they just wrote letters asking their families to come to Beijing for a reunion.
This time, the three of them came to say goodbye to Tang Shen.After all, when Tang Shen came back, they had already moved out of Washington, and they would be busy after taking office. It is estimated that they would not have so much time to chat and laugh with Tang Shen leisurely.
Tang Shen thought about it, and didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he just asked them to take care of themselves.After exhorting each other to see that it was not early, they took their leave and left.
Tang Shen sent the three of them to the gate of the courtyard, and stopped for a conversation with Zhu Yunming, who was one step behind.
Standing by the window, Hua Dingwu looked at the two of them from a distance with a light expression on their faces, watching each other keep talking softly, their expressions were pretty when they smiled slightly, and they were a little more intimate with each other than others, couldn't help it There was a sea of jealousy.Then, he saw Zhu Yunming turned his head to look at him, blinked his peach blossom eyes and suddenly smiled evilly, Hua Ding Wuzheng was surprised, he suddenly turned his head away, and quickly kissed Tang Shen on the lips.From his angle, he happened to see the profiles of the two of them, and indeed saw Zhu Yunming's lips touch Tang Shen's lips, and even pressed them!
Hua Dingwu was stunned, at this opportunity, he saw Zhu Yunming say something with a smile, then turned and ran away.Hua Dingwu immediately became murderous, took the knife and strode out.
Tang Shen froze for a moment, blinked at Zhu Yunming who was running away quickly, and Hua Dingwu who was rushing over with a murderous aura, and stretched out his hand to hold him in a funny way: "Don't chase."
Hua Dingwu's eyes were almost red with murderous aura, and he looked at Zhu Yunming's back viciously, and the scabbard in his hand rattled.Tang Shen put his soft fingers on his neck, caressing gently on his neck, that kind of ambiguous rhythm Hua Dingwu is very familiar with, sometimes when Tang Shen is pushed to the extreme by himself, he will cater to him like this come over.
Although still unhappy, Hua Dingwu still regained some sense and turned to look at him, his dark eyes seemed to be aggrieved besides anger.Tang Shen was taken aback by the look, and smiled softly. Putting his hands on his shoulders, he gently brought his lips together. Hua Dingwu lowered his head slightly, wanting to have a good taste. Suddenly, Tang Shen stopped and turned his head to look at it. next to.
Hua Dingwu then turned his head, squinting his eyes with a dangerous face: "Hua Dingren, Hua Dingyi, what are you doing here?"
The two people whose faces had subsided but were still colorful were squatting among the flowers and staring at themselves and Tang Shen with wide eyes, as if their saliva was about to flow out, it was really annoying to watch.
The two of them didn't realize that the catastrophe was imminent, and they were still squatting in the flowers so stupidly.Tang Shen was amused, patted Hua Dingwu on the shoulder, turned his head and entered the yard.When Hua Ding Ren Hua Ding Yi was in a pity, he suddenly felt a black shadow cover his head, and when he raised his head stiffly, he saw his wise and mighty second brother looking at him with raised eyebrows and a murderous sneer on his face. People shivered together like frightened quails.
Hua Dingwu looked at the appearance of his two younger brothers and didn't bother to teach them a lesson, so he snorted and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
Hua Dingren immediately remembered the business, jumped up and said loudly: "We are going to Jiangnan too!"
Hua Dingyi jumped up to boost the morale of the third brother: "That's right! We're going too!"
Hua Dingwu snorted: "Don't even think about it."
The two immediately blushed: "Why? Mother said we can go too!"
"That's right! We're going too! We haven't left the capital yet!"
"Jiangnan, Jiangnan! Why don't you take us there? It must be fun, we're going!"
Hua Dingwu was impatient: "Go back to the academy obediently when you recover from your injuries!"
It was rare that the two brothers were not frightened by the murderous intent of the second brother, and continued to yell again and again. In short, they must have their share in Jiangnan.
Will Hua Ding Wu agree?Will agree that there are ghosts.If it wasn't for Tang Shen's poor health, Hua Dingwen wouldn't have taken it with him.What's more, these two younger brothers who always like to make trouble?No, definitely not!
The three of them couldn't stop arguing at the gate of the courtyard, and the maidservants who came and went looked at them amusedly, and when they were bored, they found a place to curl up and watch for a while, until they were scratched by the second master's eyes, they touched their noses and left.
After arguing for a long time, Dongyue came out and saluted: "Lord Hua, the second master asked you and the two young masters to go in and talk."
The two little ones rushed into the courtyard in a hurry, making Hua Dingwu very angry.Dongyue smiled and said, "Master Hua, you don't have to make people laugh outside, so let's go back to the room and talk."
Hua Dingwu also had no choice but to go back to the room, and saw Tang Shen sitting on a chair with his chin propped up and looking at the two little ones with a smile. drinking.Hua Dingwu lifted his robe and sat next to Tang Shen. Tang Shen smiled and pushed his tea in front of him, and Hua Dingwu took it and drank it.
Hua Dingwu never touched something that was touched by others, so this sharing a cup of tea was definitely the first time the two met.So Tang Shen raised his head and saw the two little ones looking at him in amazement. Their looks were really stupid. No wonder Hua Dingwu scolded his two younger brothers as soon as they mentioned them, so he wanted to go back and rebuild.However, the youngest son who is favored in the family will naturally be more innocent and ignorant.He raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "These two are the third and fourth young masters of the Hua family. It's really better to meet each other if they are famous. It's a pleasure to meet you, next to Tang Shen."
The two immediately put down their teacups and acted politely. Since they were both sitting, they saluted nondescriptly: "Hua Dingren (Hua Dingyi), I have seen my second sister-in-law."
Hearing this second sister-in-law, Tang Shen was stunned, and it took a while before he burst out laughing.For such a handsome and gentle man, his smile is as swaying as the wind and drizzle, but he looks even more beautiful.The two blushed slightly as they looked at him with a smile. This second sister-in-law was mentioned by Mrs. Hua. They had never met Tang Shen before, and they couldn't think of other words when they saw him suddenly, so they just called the name on their mother's lips. When he came out, he was ridiculed and annoyed.
Tang Shen didn't intend to ridicule, but felt that these two children were really innocent.He is cold-tempered and not sociable. He knows few people. Most of them are young and promising. They are older than him. I really don’t know much about this kind of kid, so this kind of innocent kid is really interesting, although the two brothers are older than him. A difference of two or three years.
Tang Shen saw the two people blushing, he stopped laughing and asked, "You want to go to Jiangnan too?"
The two nodded obediently. With Tang Shen being so delicate and gentle, they subconsciously did not dare to be presumptuous in front of him.It's not because I'm afraid that he will get angry, but because I'm afraid that I will accidentally frighten him. It's like that kind of exquisite decoration, which can only be seen from a distance and not be played with.
It's not that Tang Shen refused to let the two of them go together, but firstly, they didn't go to Jiangnan purely for fun, but they really had something to do, and secondly, he knew that Hua Dingwu was not happy with the two of them going together.So I didn't intend to agree to these two people, so I smiled and said: "I know that the three young masters and the four young masters want to go to Jiangnan to see, but this time it is really inconvenient."
The two were so disappointed that they almost had tears in their eyes.Tang Shen smiled: "If it's just for sightseeing, it's not difficult to bring the two young masters with me, but this time it's not the case. Because my Tang family is about to move to the capital, I have to go back and look at all the big and small matters. I'm afraid It’s because I don’t have much time to entertain the two of you, and I don’t have time to take you to play.”
Although the two wanted to give up after hearing this, the temptation to travel far still made them look at each other and continue to persevere.
Here, Hua Dingwu put the cup on the table, and the eyes of the two turned to him, looking directly at him without fear.Hua Dingwu frowned: "Want to go? Go when your wings grow hard!"
He said this very contemptuously, and the two of them gasped, feeling angry, aggrieved, unwilling, and sad, all kinds of feelings filled their chests, and their hearts were filled with grief and indignation, why did other people's elder brothers dote on their younger brothers desperately, why did their own two older brothers always bully him? What about hitting them?
Tang Shen laughed straight, and didn't stop Hua Dingwu, but just observed the reaction of the two little brothers.
Hua Dingwu opened his mouth and scolded: "Going to Jiangnan? Do you think we go there because we have nothing to do? Even if we have nothing to do, we have the capital to be idle and have nothing to do. Why do you two brats who have nothing to do? Go with me? Want to go? Fine, wait until you climb to my official position, or pass the Juren exam! I know all day long that I will cause trouble and cause trouble for the family, do you think I will take you to make trouble for myself? ?”
The two children were aggrieved with their heads down. They aren't that bad, are they?
Hua Dingwu gave another training, there is no reason, there is only one purpose, this time they have no place to go to the south of the Yangtze River, the reason is that they are not qualified to hang out with him.When they have the ability, they will go to Jiangnan by themselves.
The two little guys left with drooping ears. Tang Shen stroked his chin and thought for a while and said, "Do you think they will be obedient?"
Hua Dingwu raised his eyebrows to look at him in a daze, Tang Shen said with a smile: "If it were me, if I really wanted to go to a place but my elder brother wouldn't let me, even if I sneaked into the crowd or in the luggage, I would go with me. "
Hua Dingwu smiled and tugged at his hand: "You also have such naughty moments?"
Not to mention, he actually did it when he was a child in the previous life. His father would go to Beijing without him, so he just wanted to hide himself in his father's box and follow him secretly.It turned out that it was too big to fit in and was discovered by my father. After being found out, this incident was ridiculed for several years, and almost all relatives and friends knew about it.
Therefore, Tang Shen turned his eyes away with some embarrassment: "You really don't want to take them, so send them to the academy or watch them. If you mean something wrong, find someone to help arrange boarding."
Hua Dingwu smiled and brought him over and kissed him hard, remembering what annoyed him just now, he made up again, feeling that Zhu Yunming's breath was completely washed away, so he let him go with satisfaction, and began to question the two of them What was said just now.Tang Shen only smiled but refused to say anything. No matter how much Hua Dingwu made a fuss, he didn't open his mouth. Hua Dingwu drank a few jars of vinegar again, making Tang Shen noisy all night.
Early the next morning, the two younger ones were escorted back to the academy by the second elder brother himself, daring to speak out their anger along the way.In fact, if they were really at home, they might not dare to climb into the box and get on the boat and then go to the south of the Yangtze River, but it would be difficult to get out after returning to the academy.Beiyan Academy is very strict, and if they leave privately without notifying the teacher or the head of the mountain, depending on the seriousness of the situation, they may be thrown out of the academy and they will not be able to take another step.This is really ugly, and they can't afford to lose this person.
So, the two of them studied hard, and decided that no matter what, they would learn something famous, and then they would go to Jiangnan by themselves instead of relying on their elder brother and second brother!
Finally, all the things in Hua Dingwen were packed, and Tang Shen arrived at the ferry in a carriage, and boarded the big boat rented by the Hua family.
Those who should be seen off have already been seen off at Hua's house, so there is no one on the pier to see them off.Tang Shen leaned on the side of the boat and watched the boxes of things being loaded onto the boat, and watched the paperwork and ink rushing back and forth.Seemingly tired, he turned his head to look at the sparkling water.
"What are you thinking?" Hua Dingwu's voice sounded from behind.
Tang Shen rubbed his chin for a while and said, "Don't you think there's something strange on the pier?"
