Tang Yanyan was sitting on the porch, holding a jade bowl in his arms, banging the jade pestle with his hands, and said enthusiastically: "Keep talking, keep talking, what happened next?"
Next to her sat Tang Wei, with a recliner between the two of them, and a gray-haired old lady with a camel hair blanket around her waist, dozing off half asleep.
Tang Yanyan was making rouge at this time. For a large family like the Tang family, even the rouge produced by the famous rouge company was not of high quality. The female relatives in the house liked to make their own rouge. At this time, the rouge,
They are made from peach blossoms, gardenias, red and blue flowers, roses, rhododendrons, crimson roses, pomegranates and other seasonal flowers, mashed into mud, washed clean, and steamed with floral dew. Once used, it is not only bright and beautiful
Extraordinary, and sweet and fragrant.
This kind of rouge is a pure natural green product and can be eaten. Jia Baoyu likes to eat the rouge on other people's mouths because it is made of various flower petals. If it were replaced by the modern so-called high-end cosmetics that either contain lead or estrogen,
, he dared to eat it without being poisoned and died, and he became neither a man nor a woman.
Tang Wei spread his hands and said: "How can there be a future? You have also seen Yang Hao's swordsmanship. His martial arts is not inferior to Yiyun. Yiyun was so drunk that he was dizzy. How could he be his opponent? According to that little
The second said that in fact, the two had never fought each other at all. The second said that he had just climbed out of the water and was about to climb up the stone railing when he saw Yiyun swinging a stick and Yang Hao ducked sideways.
He knocked himself, then fell into the pool like crazy, and hit the waiter. Thanks to the waiter, otherwise, the water that was half a man's height would have drowned him.
Damn, this bastard... he can't even find a way to drink..."
Tang Yanyan poked twice more, tilted his head to think about it, and asked happily: "This matter...has everyone in Manfu Valley known about it?"
"yes."
Tang Yanyan said smugly: "Haha, finally someone has come to fight for me. I'm not such a failure as a person, oh?"
Tang San'er rolled his eyes and ignored her.
Tang Yanyan asked again: "What about Yang Hao? What are you doing now?"
Tang Wei smiled bitterly and said: "What else can be done? The city was in turmoil because of you and Miss Zhe Er the day before yesterday, and now there is a turmoil with Yiyun. What kind of power is the Qin family? Moreover, we have always been close to Zhe Mansion. I
I thought... Yang Hao probably didn't want to enmity with the Qin family, and was worried that the trouble would get out of hand, so after leaving the Biheyuan, he returned to the inn and never came out again. This morning he went to Baihuawu again, and then he was in a hurry
Hurry back to Luling Prefecture."
Tang Yanyan was so happy that he giggled a few times and said, "Hehe, hehe, I'm happy now that I know he's also having a hard time."
Tang Wei rolled his eyes again. He had no idea about this silly sister. He sighed and said: "Sister, I want to go to Kaifeng Mansion. Are you going? I will take you."
Take some time to relax.”
Tang Yanyan jumped up happily and said: "I won't go, I want to go to Luling Prefecture."
Tang Wei was surprised and said: "What are you doing in Luling Prefecture?"
Tang Yanyan said proudly: "It's business. I'm going to Luling Prefecture to do business. How can Yang Hao block the door and prevent me from entering? Humph, I get angry when I think of Zhe Ziyu's proud look. This
If I don't win the round, will I still be Tang Yanyan? I'm done with her!"
She looked down and exclaimed: "Oh, I've listened to you. The petals have been pounded long ago. Now it's time to filter them through fine gauze..." After saying this, she ran into the room happily holding the jade bowl.
.
Tang Wei touched his nose and murmured to himself: "This girl...why is she so heartless..."
The old lady who seemed to be dozing on the recliner next to her suddenly opened her eyes, glared at him fiercely and said: "Fart, my good granddaughter has a cheerful temperament and doesn't worry about anything, no matter how angry she is.
Son, no matter how wronged you are, it will be over if you just cry and let it out."
Tang Wei smiled bitterly and said: "Grandma..."
The old lady snorted and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with such a girl? If she has any grievances, she'll keep them in her heart. She'll be sad when the flowers fall, sad when the rain starts, and complain all day long.
The sight of a daughter crying and wiping away her tears makes people sick, can you stand it? Huh!"
The old lady of the Tang family is a girl from the Miao family. She was a lively and cheerful person when she was young. Tang Yanyan's temper is just like that of her grandmother. Natural rice has no temper for this old lady. Besides, the men of the Tang family are prosperous and the women are rare. For two generations,
They only gave birth to one daughter, so the elders of the Tang family naturally regarded this little granddaughter as their treasure. Even if there was anything wrong with her, they only saw her as cute and liked her.
Tang Wei was scolded by his grandma, but when he saw that she was still nagging him, he jumped up and said: "Oh, I suddenly remembered that there is an important thing to do. Grandma, please take a rest. My grandson has to go and take care of it quickly."
." Tang Wei found an excuse, quickly rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and slipped away.
Tang Yanyan filtered the flower mud, handed it to the maid for processing, and then ran out of the room, only to see that Tang Wei had disappeared. He couldn't help but paused and complained: "This guy, people still have something to ask him.
He actually slipped away again."
The wrinkled old lady showed a kind smile on her face and waved: "My dear grandson, come to grandma."
Tang Yanyan walked to her side and knelt down. The old lady held her hand and said, "My dear grandson, what kind of person is the person you like?"
"He..."
When Yang Hao was mentioned, Tang Yanyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said enthusiastically: "This guy...how should I put it, he is very rogue, very lecherous, very dirty, um...and also very shameless...
…, not like a moral gentleman at all.”
"Huh?" The old lady's presbyopic eyes widened and she looked at her precious granddaughter in surprise.
Tang Yanyan didn't notice at all and was completely immersed in his own thoughts. He said with a mixture of joy and embarrassment: "But he is a man of great wisdom, courage, benevolence and righteousness. What he has done is more remarkable than many moral gentlemen.
Make people admire him from the bottom of their hearts."
A sweet smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said in a soft voice: "Besides, if you want to say that he is uneducated, he can sometimes tell many thought-provoking truths that I would never think of at ordinary times.
You may say that he has profound knowledge, but his speech and behavior do not look like a scholar who has read the books of sages.
In the past, I always thought that he was a weak scholar with no strength. Who knew that he would suddenly learn martial arts, and also know a very special and beautiful swordsmanship, grandma, that kind of beautiful swordsmanship?
His swordsmanship is really powerful, even the big bear-like Li Jiyun was defeated by his sword. This stinky guy will do something that will surprise you at every turn..."
"Hahaha..." the old lady laughed. She embraced her granddaughter lovingly and said, "My good granddaughter, you are no longer a shy little girl. It seems that you really like her.
, exactly the same as your grandma when she was young. Well, of course my sweet grandson’s eyesight is the same. Since you like him, this stinky guy, you must have his merits."
Tang Yanyan lowered her face and said reluctantly: "But... this stinky guy has now fallen in love with Zhe Ziyu. I fell in love with him first at the beginning. What do you think I am not good enough for him about, except... except for my temper?"
He must be older, so he was frightened, but wasn't that before?"
She lowered her head and said sadly: "Besides, even though he likes to speak loudly to him, he doesn't really do anything to him. It's good now, it's too late to regret it. Grandma, don't look at me being so bold when speaking in front of my brothers.
Actually...actually I don't have any confidence in my heart at all. If he likes someone else, I can still fight for it, but Zhe Ziyu...is a girl from the Zhe family after all...
I'm so angry right now with her smug look in front of me. Thinking about it makes my teeth itch with hatred. I can't swallow this breath, but I... what can I do? A girl's family, people don't care about her at all.
He likes me, but I come to visit him again and again. I am so embarrassed. People in Fugu are not sure why they are laughing at me now. I...I..."
Tang Yanyan flattened his mouth, tears welling up in his eyes.
The old lady snorted, raised her white eyebrows, and said fiercely: "Shame on you? If you back down now and get nothing, then you are leaving the person to grandma's house. The Zhe family is powerful, it is true, but
We, the Tang family, don’t even have to let him do this. We, the Tang family, are richer than princes, so we have to rely on him to live our lives. Doesn’t his family have any place to rely on our Tang family?
I don’t believe that Zhe Yuxun would fall out with our Tang family because of his children’s affair. Besides, if you don’t even dare to fight for the person you like, then even if you have a mountain of gold or a sea of silver, what’s the point of being a human being?
Happy. My good grandson, let grandma chase you. If you like her, you will never let go and fight her to the end!"
"Yeah!" Tang Yanyan nodded heavily.
The old lady sat up and said majestically: "Grandma doesn't believe it when a girl chases a boy. There's a gauze barrier between them. My granddaughter's cute little appearance can't charm him, a bastard. What's your grandpa again?"
How about that? He was the young master of the Tang family back then, and his status was so noble. As for me, grandma, I am just an ordinary Miao girl. In terms of status, am I worthy of him? But I fell in love with him, and I have always liked him.
I chased him all the way from the Miao Village to the Tang family, but I ended up marrying him. Otherwise, I would have given birth to a whole bunch of little bastards."
The old lady slapped her thigh and said: "Oh, that's right! Your great-grandmother is the great wizard of our Miao village. When I left the Miao village, your great-grandmother gave me a pair of bottles. That bottle is
Your great-grandmother sacrificed it to the witch god and cast a spell. Your great-grandmother said that if you use that bottle to hold wine for a man to drink, and then break the bottle, the man will give up on you."
Tang Yanyan quickly wiped away his tears, opened his eyes wide and said, "Really? Is this why grandpa likes grandma?"
The old lady muttered: "Who knows if it's because of it, anyway...I will become your grandma later."
Tang Yanyan couldn't wait to ask: "Do I need a pair of this thing?"
The old lady said: "I don't need a pair. When I came out of the Miao Village and went over the mountains, I was afraid of breaking them. So I took two, which is safer."
Tang Yanyan's eyes sparkled and he said, "Grandma, is the remaining bottle still there?"
The old lady patted her forehead and muttered: "It's been so many years. I kept it as a souvenir. When your grandfather was still alive, he made a new one and made it into a pair. Where did he put it?
Let me think about it..."
The old lady stood up and walked tremblingly into the house. Tang Yanyan followed closely behind, her heart beating with excitement. The grandfather and grandson entered the house and rummaged around, carrying many old sundries.
He came out and made the room look like it had been robbed. Finally, he dug out a box under the big cupboard and opened it. Inside, there were two porcelain vases wrapped in red velvet, one white and painted with elegant orchids. The red velvet showed
It looked old, and the box had been there for who knows how many years.
Tang Yanyan looked at this one, then that one, and asked anxiously: "Grandma, which one is right?"
"Don't worry, let me take a look, take a closer look." The old lady bent down, squinted her presbyopic eyes and looked carefully for a long time, picked up one, picked up the weight, and said with a smile: "This one, yes, this one
Only."
Tang Yanyan snatched it up and held it in his arms like a treasure, and giggled happily, but that smile... looked a bit "ferocious" no matter how you looked at it...
Yang Hao's car came out of the reed swamp, and the people accompanying him were all covered in reed flowers. Even Yang Hao, who was sitting in the car, was no exception. He got out of the car, stood on the shaft of the car and patted the reed flowers on his body, sneaking around.
He looked at where he was coming from and said thankfully: "Now that we are reaching Luhe Ridge, it seems that Qin Yiyun will not come after him. Alas! This Tang Yanyan is just a troublemaker, and he brought a disaster like Qin Yiyun to me for no reason.
"
Bi Su smiled happily and said: "Sir, speaking of which, we have established friendship with the Zhe family now, and you are the head of the family. So what if we really fight with him? What are you afraid of him doing?"
Yang Hao glared at him and said, "I'm not afraid of him, but why should I have a grudge against the Qin family for no reason?"
Bisu said disapprovingly: "Are the elders of the Qin family so unreasonable?"
Yang Hao said: "The elders of the Qin family will not have any grudge against me because of this kind of thing, but no one is good at fighting. Qin Yiyun is angry. If he really hurts him, then there will be grudges even if there is no grudge. The Qin family and
How many years have we been friends with the Zhe family? Besides, the Qin family is in the military and horse business. Commander Zhejie relies heavily on the Qin family. He can afford to hide if he can’t offend me. Mr. Qin is not a rough man. Looking back, he should too
You should restrain yourself. Why should we have this senseless feud?"
Before Yang Hao could even pronounce the word "Qiu", he heard a "du" sound, and a wolf-fang arrow was nailed to the car close to the tip of his nose. The finger-thick arrow shaft trembled rapidly, and Yang Hao was
His hands and feet were so scared that his eyes became cross-eyed: "My dear, if this arrow hits my head..."
I heard a person yelling in a rough voice: "Who are you? You are so sneaky. Come here, put your hands on your head and don't move around. That guy in the car with a sly eyebrow, be honest and jump off."
!”
Then a loud arrow shot into the sky, making a sharp roar. Yang Hao obediently raised his hand and looked forward, and saw a girl wearing a sheepskin coat and a scimitar at her waist. She was holding a hunting bow and staring at him warily.
Looking at him, the bowstring was still vibrating. The girl had dark cheeks, bushy eyebrows and big eyes, and she looked really stronger than the man. As she shouted, several more people with bows and sabers came out of the reed swamp and started fighting with her.
They all dress up like prairie people.
Yang Hao's heart sank when he saw it: "It's bad, could it be that Li Jiyun moved so fast and Luhe Ridge was already lost?"
He asked in fear: "Girl, who are you?"
The girl rubbed her nose with the back of her hand, stared at her big black eyes and said, "I am Tianjiu, who are you?"
"Sweet wine?" Yang Hao thought it sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered the joke Li Guangcen made with him, and couldn't help but said happily: "Are you the sweet wine, the daughter of Mu En?"
Tianjiu's eyes turned suspiciously and said in surprise: "You know my father, who are you?"
Yang Hao nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, I am Yang Hao, the magistrate of Luling Prefecture. Girl, have you heard of my name?"
"Are you young...well, are you Yang Hao?" The girl held the knife and looked at him up and down with a look of hesitation. At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the reeds, and several more people emerged.
Come, in front of you is a person with a green handkerchief on his head, and his shoulders are covered with snow-white reed flowers. Before Yang Hao can say anything, Mu Yu has already shouted excitedly: "Sister!"
The person coming was none other than Mu Qingxuan. When he saw the people in front of him, Mu Qingxuan was startled and quickly called out: "Tianjiu, tell them to put down their arrows quickly. This is the governor of this state, Yang Hao."
Mu Qingxuan explained clearly in a few words, Tianjiu couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and said with a shy smile: "So you are really Mr. Yang Hao, hahaha... I didn't scare you with that arrow just now, did I?"
Yang Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a dry smile: "It didn't scare me, but the girl's archery skills are very good, which is very admirable."
Tianjiu put the bow on her shoulder and listened to his praise, feeling proud.
Yang Hao turned to Mu Qingxuan again and said: "Let's go back. Mrs. Ke, when I left Luhe Ridge, it seemed that we didn't set up defenses so far away. Why is it so tight now? I don't know why.
The ground will shoot arrows to stop people. If the merchants are coming, they will inevitably be frightened."
Tianjiu followed behind, and after hearing this, he said: "Master Yang Hao, if you hadn't sneaked out of the reeds, I wouldn't have shot you in the head."
Yang Hao's face was embarrassed, and he looked at Mu Qingxuan next to him. This long-legged beauty took long strides and walked vigorously. She was no slower than Yang Hao. Her two sword eyebrows were slightly twisted.
He sighed and said: "Mr. Yang, you don't know something. In the days since you left, our Luling Prefecture has been attacked several times."
Yang Hao was taken aback and said hurriedly: "How could this happen? Who are the enemies?"
