Poems of grievances are all lies [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 36

The carriage drove slowly along the street towards Huaidefang. The wind lifted the curtains and blew in, making it cool and refreshing.

Tang Xiaoshi looked at the person sitting opposite, he dodged a few times apologetically, and finally settled down to look at her.

"Can Tao Lang tell me the answer now?" His tone was cold.

Tao Qilang was stunned for a moment, then sighed secretly, as if he had made up his mind.

He said: "You are a woman who has no one to rely on, so you will inevitably encounter some troubles. You and I have known each other for a while, so I want to help my wife. Knowing that helping a woman is definitely not acceptable, I came up with this method. I don't have any Malicious, my lady, don't think too much about it."

Tang Xiaoshi shook her head, showing disbelief on her face, and stared at the other party.How can anyone help each other just because they met each other once and made a deal?This is beyond the scope of an ordinary acquaintance.

Tao Qilang felt guilty, and he also knew that such an argument could not convince the other party, but he didn't know how to open his mouth when facing her.Those few truths rolled down my throat countless times and finally swallowed them back into my stomach.

After being silent for a while, seeing the other party still staring at him coldly, even with a bit of anger, made him even more uneasy.

After struggling and pondering repeatedly in his heart, he opened his mouth to break the tense atmosphere of silence, and changed the topic: "My lady fell out with the historian, and now Shi Lang sent people to find her near the West Market for revenge. He also arranged for people to follow in Zhenbaofang. Next time, my lady You must be more careful when you go to Zhenbaofang. It is really dangerous for the lady to have only one maid by her side, in the future, you can go in and out with your neighbors, and try to be alone as little as possible."

Seeing his earnest speech, she suddenly smiled. These words are similar to her mother's usual advice, saying that it is dangerous outside, don't go out alone at night, and try to stay with roommates as much as possible.

Tao Qilang looked at her with a smile on his face, and slowly let go of the heart he had been holding.

"Thank you for your concern, but this is not your concern."

He was so blocked that he didn't know how to answer, he paused for a moment and suggested: "You and I met once, why don't you treat me as a friend and care about me as a friend."

"Is that how you make friends so casually?"

Tao Qilang was once again speechless by her words, and it took him a while to explain: "This... how can you say casually, Tao and the lady met when they were young, and now they know each other again because of a set of head jewelry, and Tao likes the lady's design very much. Jewelry style, I really want to make friends like a lady."

Tang Xiaoshi was slightly taken aback, he still remembered that they met when they were young?In this way, he had already recognized her for the first time in Zhenbaozhai a few months ago.He even deliberately pretended not to know each other.Later, he bought a picture of his jewelry at an extra market price of [-] yuan, and said he didn't mean to help her?

Just why did he help her?They didn't have any friendship when they were young, just because they liked the jewelry she designed?It is strange for a gentleman to like women's jewelry.

"You and I are buyers and sellers, property transactions, not suitable to be friends." She evaded.

"As the saying goes, a deal is a friend, why is it not suitable?"

"Because friends need honesty, you don't have it, and neither do I."

The other party's words hit the point, leaving him speechless to refute.He really wasn't honest enough.

The atmosphere cooled down, and each other fell into silence again.

The sound of wheels outside the car and pedestrians and horses on both sides of the street made the interior of the car even quieter, even awkward.

After a while, the carriage made a sharp turn, and Tang Xiaoshi leaned forward suddenly. She was in a panic trying to grab some support, but she didn't catch anything for a moment. On the chest, I heard the other party humming in pain.

The carriage stopped immediately, and she hurriedly supported herself to sit back, only then did she notice that there was a small cut in the other's chin, and blood beads came out.

She touched her hair accessories in a panic, guessing that she had just fallen over and scratched the hairpin, so she handed over the handkerchief apologetically and apologized.

"It's just a little bit of skin, it's okay." Tao Qilang took the handkerchief and wiped it, and the light-colored silk handkerchief was immediately stained with some blood.

At this time, there was noise outside the car, and a domineering voice scolded: "The crowds are all over the street, how dare you ride a horse in the street, and now you have hurt so many people, come with me to the Yamen."

Tang Xiaoshi turned back and opened the curtain to look towards the intersection, where a carriage, a horse and an overturned wheelbarrow were parked.The car should have originally been filled with wine jars, but now it has been smashed, and the aroma of wine is overflowing.The surrounding people were in a state of chaos, and many people beside them had pained faces, obviously they had just been injured.An officer forcibly twisted a young man to leave, and a team of patrols rushed to maintain order.

At this time, the driver opened the door and apologized for the unsteady driving just now.

"Let's go!" Tao Qilang ordered, dipped his chin with a handkerchief, and blood dripped out.

Tang Xiaoshi looked at the red and swollen wound on his chin, which was particularly conspicuous on his fair face, felt a little sorry, thought for a while and said: "I will take some medicine when I get home later, it's hot and don't cause inflammation."

Tao Qilang smiled and nodded.

The carriage stopped in front of the small courtyard in the alley, Tang Xiaoshi invited him in, and ordered Yuzhu to prepare water and plaster to help Tao Qilang clean the wound.

Tao Qilang immediately stopped and said, "I'll do it myself." He took the wet wipe from Yuzhu's hand and wiped away the blood.

Tang Xiaoshi opened the plaster box and handed it over, "This plaster has a slight burning pain, but it won't leave a scar."

Tao Qilang took it, saw the mark and words on the sticker on the bottle body, and knew that it was the best pharmacy monopoly in the city, and it was very effective in removing scars, and he also kept a copy in his living room.

"Why did the lady prepare this medicine at home? Where did she get injured before?"

"I accidentally scratched my hand last month." She glanced at her left hand, and Tao Qilang's eyes immediately moved there. The skin on her left hand was delicate and smooth, without any scars.

"Why is the lady injured? Is it serious?"

"I accidentally cut a small cut with a knife while cutting the paper, and it's already healed."

He nodded and felt a little relieved, and applied the cold plaster to the wound. There was indeed a slight burning sensation, but the pain disappeared soon.He glanced at the decorations in the main hall. It couldn't be said to be crude, but it was extremely simple, not as luxurious as the historian's, and even less likely to be compared with the Li's mansion when he was not out of the cabinet.

She used to be a noble daughter of Chang'an City, well-clothed and well-fed, flying freely.In the end, she got married because she liked Shi Cheng, and six years passed, but in the end it ended like this.Now he lives alone in a small courtyard with a maidservant, and has nothing to rely on.

Can't help feeling distressed.

After sitting for a while, Tang Xiaoshi smiled and said: "It's getting late, I really don't want to keep Tao Lang in my wife's house, please forgive me." After speaking, she stood up and was ready to see off the guests.

Although he was reluctant to give up, he had to get up. "Tao was negligent."

Tang Xiaoshi made a gesture of invitation, he hesitated for a moment, and stepped out.

Tang Xiaoshi sent him to the gate of the small courtyard, the coachman came up to ask him to get on the car, he took a step and stopped.Dazed for a moment, he turned around and wanted to say something to Tang Xiaoshi, he opened his mouth and only said "I" but couldn't continue, and finally changed it to one sentence: "How precious you are."

Tang Xiaoshi smiled and nodded, signaling him to get in the car.He was a little disappointed, and finally felt that it was not appropriate to stay like this, so he got in the car and left.

The carriage disappeared along the corner of the alley, Tang Xiaoshi sighed softly, and turned around to go back to the yard, when Huang Siniang next door poked her head out and met her eyes, Huang Siniang walked over with a smile.

"Miss Li, is that gentleman just now a relative of your family? Looking at the horses and carriages, he is also young and handsome, like a noble gentleman."

Tang Xiaoshi glanced at the entrance of the alley, and asked with a smile, "Don't you know Si Niang?"

"How can I know this kind of high school kid."

"It's the owner of the distant relative who came from Si Niang's house yesterday."

Huang Siniang was stunned, and it took a long time to come back to her senses. She giggled awkwardly at her, and said apologetically, "Ms. Li already knows?"

"Yes, so Si Niang doesn't have to be so nice to me in the future."

"Miss Li, don't be angry. I didn't intend to lie to you. I just saw that the person didn't have any malicious intentions. I just asked our family to take care of you everywhere, so... that's why I agreed." Seeing Tang Xiaoshi still looking cold, Continued, "We are neighbors, even if there is no such person, I see that you are a lady who has no father, brother or man in her family, and I will help you."

"Thank you, Si Niang, I'm not angry." When I first found out, I was a little angry, but it has long since disappeared, and the other party did not have any malicious intentions, and even helped her too much.

After talking with Huang Siniang, Huang Siniang still came to visit every day, but she didn't dare to give things as unscrupulously as before, but she still brought some snacks made by herself on a plate.

Tang Xiaoshi's cooking skills are mediocre, Li Danyi knows nothing but cooking a few soups, and Yu Zhu's cooking skills are so-so, so I can only say that it is not bad.So she couldn't refuse the snacks that Huang Siniang sent.

On this day, she went to the Tao Mansion with the designed Yingluo pattern, but instead of entering the mansion, she just handed the envelope containing the Yingluo pattern to the boy who led her the way at the door last time.

"Madam Li won't come into the mansion?"

"I won't go in anymore. By the way, you can tell your little lady for me that I gave her the Yingluo pattern." After speaking, she turned and left.

The young servant didn't know the inside story, so he went into the mansion with the letter.

Tang Xiaoshi went to the West Market, and felt a little more relaxed, so she didn't owe Tao Lang any more.

As soon as she stepped into the threshold of Zhenbao Zhai, the old man Sixth Uncle greeted her.

"Miss Li, you are here, we are still thinking about how to find you!" He asked her to sit down at the tea table inside and talk to her.It turned out that the two hairpins she designed last time were taken by a woman. She liked the bird-shaped hairpins very much. She wanted to ask her to design two more peony inlaid and jeweled bu yao to highlight the luxury.

After Tang Xiaoshi listened to Sixth Uncle's detailed explanation, she thought it was not too difficult a plan, so she agreed.

After leaving Zhenbaozhai, she looked around again. She didn't find any suspicious people when she first came here, and she hasn't seen anyone now either. She still carefully watched behind her.After walking for about half a street, I found a person following behind me, a completely unfamiliar face, with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes, it was not a good person at first glance.

She quickened her pace and walked along the place where there were more people. The other party followed her all the way without a chance to make a move. She went out of the West Market. She looked back, but saw two people forcibly dragging the stalker into a side alley.

She froze for a moment in surprise, gave up her curiosity to go back and see what happened, and went home immediately.
