Song Qingtang took a deep breath and finally turned around and entered the house.
Mrs. Cao looked at Mrs. Lin and said, "You should take them back first. I have something to tell Erlang."
"Yes." Mrs. Lin nodded. After getting up and blessing her, she glanced at Ding Feng, wondering what they were going to say.
Mrs. Lin and her aunts took the children away, and behind Ding Feng, her mother holding the baby also followed.
It was quiet in the other hall, and Ding Feng smiled at Song Qingtang and said, "Second cousin, long time no see."
Song Qingtang said "Yeah" casually, went to sit down where Lin had been sitting just now, and looked at Cao: "Tell me, what is it that requires me to come back?"
His appearance in Mrs. Cao's eyes made her really annoyed: "It's so nice outside. Just count how many times you went home last month. It's as if it's killing you to come back. Look at you like this.
What kind of words."
"I think it's time for my second cousin to get married," Ding Feng said with a smile, "Maybe it will be better if I have a family, and I can calm down."
"Yes," Mrs. Cao nodded and said, "if this continues, I will find a wife for you in the spring next year. You won't be able to decide whether you like her or not."
"Is this the reason why you came back to me?" Song Qingtang said, "I have to go back to the military camp in the afternoon. If you have anything to say, please tell me."
Cao was speechless and glared at him angrily.
She really couldn't understand this son. She always felt that it would be great if her second son could be as sensible as her eldest son. Growing up, he never gave her any peace of mind.
Taking out a letter from his sleeve, Mr. Cao said: "Liu Lang wrote a letter for you."
As soon as he heard that it belonged to Cao Youyun, Song Qingtang's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly got up to get it and opened the envelope.
"I haven't had the chance to ask you these days what exactly happened between you and Rokuro that day. Did you have anything to do with him leaving the capital in a hurry? I want you to tell him carefully. Did you hit him?"
Cao said.
Song Qingtang looked ugly after reading the letter, and his veins were popping out. If Cao and Ding Feng hadn't been here, he would have torn the letter to pieces.
"What did the letter say?" Mrs. Cao asked curiously when she saw that her son looked strange.
"He is provoking me," Song Qingtang gritted his teeth. "He said that I will never be able to find him in this life, but he will still continue to interact with those people, so let us not waste our efforts."
"He actually said that!" Ding Feng said in shock, "He is too, too..."
Ms. Cao slapped the armrest on the side: "This Cao Liulang is so rebellious! Is he going to destroy my Dingtao Cao family!"
"Auntie, please don't be angry. Let's calm down first," Ding Feng hurriedly walked over and said, "He has a habit of being unruly and deviant. Maybe he is deliberately irritating his cousin."
Song Qingtang was extremely angry.
Are you still angry with him?
Aren't you angry enough with him?
Stunned him, stripped him naked, and threw him on the street. Just like that, Cao Youyun still felt that it was not enough?
"No," Song Qingtang calmed down and said angrily in a deep voice, "This bastard really knows how to do this. I have to find him. If I don't peel off a layer of his skin, I will take his last name!"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Cao shouted, "You are named Song. You can't bear the same surname as mine. If word spreads, what will others say about me?"
"I'm leaving." Song Qingtang said, turned around and walked outside.
"Wait! Erlang." Mr. Cao stood up quickly, "Please come back more often next time!"
Song Qingtang didn't even look back and strode away.
"Auntie, don't be angry," Ding Feng supported Ms. Cao, "My cousin has such a temper..."
"These two," Ms. Cao put her hand on her forehead, dizzy with anger, "I'm so angry, I'm really so angry."
Ding Feng comforted her and looked up in the direction Song Qingtang left, feeling extremely uneasy.
If it is true as Song Qingtang said, and Cao Youyun really provoked in the letter, then once this matter happens, the Cao family will definitely be implicated.
This is how to do.
………………
Unlike Huaizhou Street, which is cold and quiet and where students take a detour, the other major streets are full of people and busy traffic.
In front of the medicine cabinet of Ping'an Hall, the first medical center in Beijing, the apprentice looked at the medicine list in his hand, shook his head and said, "No, little girl, we can't get your prescription here."
"Why?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"The quantities of these medicinal materials are too much, we can't give them here." The apprentice handed back the medicine list.
Xia Zhaoyi took it, thought about it, and said, "Well, do you think this is okay? You can grab some for me, and I'll grab the rest from other pharmacies."
The apprentice smiled, ignored it, and looked at the others: "Next."
Xia Zhaoyi took the prescription and did not leave immediately. She kept standing here and watched others taking medicine.
Several apprentices had been busy for a while, but when they saw that she still refused to leave, they came over to send her away.
After leaving the medical clinic, Xia Zhaoyi did not leave immediately. He was calculating a series of numbers in his mind.
A figure suddenly jumped up: "Ah Li!"
Xia Zhaoyi paused and looked back.
Tie Zhu was leaning on a cane and holding a bowl in his hand. He said with a smile: "It's really you."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
"Are you sick?" Tie Zhu looked at Xia Zhaoyi's prescription.
Xia Zhaoyi was noncommittal and asked: "Are you still in the capital?"
"Yeah, I'm not in the capital, and I don't know where to go," Tie Zhu lowered his voice and said in a sly voice, "Ah Li, do you still want some information? I'll sell it to you?"
"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Let's talk while we walk."
"Uh-huh."
There are many people on the street, but it is rare to see people smiling, walking in a hurry, striding forward, or walking slowly but sighing.
Tie Zhu felt that he should be in the best mood on this street. He had been looking for Ah Li for a long time, and even went to Huiping's pawn shop every day to keep watch, but he still didn't arrive, and he felt lost for a long time.
When there were fewer people around him, Tie Zhu whispered: "Ah Li, you must have heard about what happened on the street last night. There is a big coffin, and many pro-Jingwei soldiers died."
"Well," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know." Tie Zhu immediately shook his head seriously.
"Pfft." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
"What I want to say is that this incident last night was so sensational that it overshadowed another incident, and that incident made me feel a little scary," Tie Zhu said.
"Hmm? Another one?"
"Last night, the emperor sent people to take away many teachers from the academy!" Tie Zhu said solemnly, "And as far as I know, this matter is related to something I told you before."
"The teacher was taken away?" Xia Zhaoyi said. She really didn't know about this matter. When she woke up today, everyone was talking about the coffin that appeared last night and the more than fifty pro-army soldiers who were shot alive.
Jingwei, she thought about going to find out what was going on, but now is not the time.
