Unexpectedly, Tang Jianfei gave Tang Wei one hundred taels of silver after many prevarications, saying that it was all his savings. He also persuaded Tang Wei to give up. No one in the Gu family wanted to marry their daughter to Tang Wei.
I mean, otherwise who would be so open-minded as to offer a bride price of ten thousand taels? Even a rich man would not ask for so much money when marrying his daughter.
Yes, no one in general can afford so much money. The only people in Tangjia Town who can afford so much money are the rich and wealthy families.
Tang Wei really likes Gu Xinyu, so he can only give it a try. He will never give up until the end.
Two days later, it was the day of the big exam. Tang Wei had been studying at home these past few days. He hardly went out except for meals that Mrs. Chen brought to his room every day. However, Han'er became Tang Xiaoyi's little follower, making Tang Xiaoyi dumbfounded.
.
That day, Tang Xiaoyi went to the garden to pick vegetables, and Han'er followed him like a little shadow. "Brother, put the vegetables here." Han'er, whose eyes were as big as grape seeds, kindly handed Tang Xiaoyi a small bamboo basket.
"Hey, get out of the way and I will do it myself."
"I brought you a bamboo basket specially so you can put a lot of vegetables in it."
"I know, no need."
"Brother, put it here."
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaoyi pushed Han'er impatiently to the ground and sat down on the mud.
Han'er is a little girl after all, and this new dress was made for her by her eldest grandmother. Thinking of being talked about by Tang Xiaoyi every day these days, the grievance in her heart suddenly felt like the water of the Yellow River bursting its embankment. "Brother is bad, don't you like Han'er?"
?Since you hate me so much, I’ll just leave.”
Originally, Tang Wanwan took great care of Han'er when she was at home. Under the influence of her sister, Tang Xiaoyi did not dare to speak directly to Han'er. She did not expect that such a thing would happen today.
Mrs. Chen heard Han'er crying in the room and immediately shouted at the top of her lungs: "Tang Xiaoyi, are you bullying sister Han'er again?"
"Ah, no, no."
Seeing this, Han'er continued to cry, but Tang Xiaoyi covered Han'er's mouth. She said fiercely: "Okay, stop crying, can't I use it?"
Knowing that what he said was not sincere, Haner continued to cry. Finally, Tang Xiaoyi ran away angrily.
Han'er felt that she was abandoned, so she walked towards the back mountain crying.
After a while, Mrs. Chen only saw Tang Xiaoyi coming back, but not Han'er, so she asked: "Where is Han'er?"
Tang Xiaoyi said impatiently, "Ask that crying guy, he's in the fields."
Mrs. Chen couldn't help but nodded his head with her hand and said: "You kid, why are you so petty and careless like a little sister? When your eldest sister left, she told us to keep an eye on her."
Mrs. Chen then took Tang Xiaoyi to the fields to look for Han'er, but when she saw that there was no one there.
Tang Xiaoyi thought Han'er was playing hide-and-seek with him, so she shouted several times, looked around the house and saw no one, and was frightened. He said with a white face: "Mom, I was just playing around with sister Han'er."
Ah, I didn't know she was leaving."
"If you keep ignoring people, of course they will be angry. Don't think that you don't know what you did. I will tell your eldest sister when you come back and see how she punishes you."
"You need to be more manly. Han'er's life experience is so pitiful. You should treat her like a sister."
Only then did Tang Xiaoyi feel a little regretful, and she was afraid that her eldest sister would come back and talk about her, so she said to Madam Chen with determination, "Mom, I lost her, and I will definitely find her."
Seeing that someone was missing, Mrs. Chen had no choice but to call Tang Wei.
Tang Wei also heard a lot of noise outside at this moment, so he came out to ask what was going on. When he heard that Han'er was missing, his expression changed and he hurriedly said: "Why don't you hurry up and look for her."
Then he went to notify Lu Yujin first. Lu Yujin had many people under his command, so he asked the soldiers to spread out and search together.
When it was getting dark, everyone realized that Tang Xiaoyi could not be found.
Madam Chen was now anxious, "First Han'er was lost, and now Xiaoyi disappeared again. What should we do?"
"Mom, I will definitely find it. I'll go find Tang Sizhe and ask him to send someone to help us find it too."
Just as he was talking, he didn't expect to see a small figure appear at the door. Who was it if it wasn't Tang Xiaoyi? Tang Xiaoyi was carrying a little girl on his back. The little girl was probably too tired and had fallen asleep on his body.
"Mom, I'm back, I've got Han'er back."
Maybe he was too tired. After Tang Xiaoyi finished speaking, he also fell down.
It turned out that Han'er went to the back mountain in tears and accidentally fell into a hunter's trap.
It was Tang Xiaoyi who found her. In order to save Han'er, Tang Xiaoyi's legs were stabbed by branches and her palms bled.
When Han'er was most desperate, she saw Tang Xiaoyi. Tang Xiaoyi not only apologized to him sincerely, but also said that she would be good to him in the future. Han'er smiled happily. When Tang Xiaoyi carried her all the way back without fear of hardship, Han'er said:
Half of his anger was gone, and he has been in his heart since then.
Han'er got her back and gained Tang Xiaoyi's friendship. Her mood became much better and she became cheerful.
Only then did Tang Xiaoyi realize that Haner was actually very smart and could learn everything at once.
She frowned as she watched Tang Xiaoyi boxing, and later she learned how to do it herself. One day, Tang Xiaoyi was shooting birds with a bow, and Han'er wanted to shoot too. Unexpectedly, she shot an arrow through the heart.
The so-called arrow piercing the heart means that a pair of birds stand on a tree, and the arrows shot out pierce the hearts of the two birds at the same time.
It's not an exaggeration to say he's a marksman.
When Lu Yujin found out about this, he took it seriously and decided to take Han'er and Tang Xiaoyi to learn the art together.
The day for the provincial examination arrived. Tang Wei packed some dry food and a few changes of clothes and went to rush for the examination alone.
Lu Yujin told Tang Wei to let him take the exam on his own, believing that he would be able to do it.
Tang Wei smiled and said, Awan also said that I can do it.
Hearing Tang Wanwan's name, Lu Yujin asked, "Is there any news about her?"
Tang Wei shook his head and said, "Awan said she would be back in seven days at most. It has been three days now. When I finish the exam, she will be back. Maybe she will just see the results released."
"That's right. When you get good results, we'll have a drink to celebrate."
"good!"
The two looked at each other, smiled, and said goodbye.
But on Tang Wanwan's side, because there was another corpse in Zhuge City, everyone was not in a good mood. Unknown things are the most terrifying, because no one knows which day or moment they will die.
The city wanted Gu Yunzhi's help in catching the murderer as soon as possible. Gu Yunzhi said, I will try my best.
So Gu Yunzhi decided to use spiritualism to see if he could summon this man's soul for questioning.
Generally, the time of death does not exceed an hour, and the person's soul has not been gone for too long and can be recalled.
Tang Wanwan had also used this method before, when Mr. Tan was murdered, and she saw it very clearly.
