Chapter Seventy-Three: The Fierce Rises
Qu Nan sent Li Dazhuang to send the green waist back to the Tang Mansion.
The green waist stood at the back door of the Tang Mansion and watched Li Dazhuang leave. She was a little impatient and wanted to find her little brother, but as soon as she lifted her leg, she heard a noise behind her. She turned to look, but saw the back door opened, and the rabbit-like face of the red sleeves peeked out. Her eyes lit up with joy, and she jumped out of the door in a flash, grabbed the wrist of the green waist, and said quickly: "You are back, Miss asked me to wait at the back door, saying that you are back, so I can eat." Come with me to see Miss, and when I see Miss, I'll go to dinner." I don't know if there's any leftovers for me. You can starve to death. ”
The green waist was forcibly taken into the courtyard and went straight to Tang You's room.
The two had not yet entered Tang You's room, but they saw that he had already greeted him. The red sleeves smacked their tongues secretly, they really couldn't imagine that the green waist had such a status in Miss Tang's heart.
Tang You walked out of the house quickly, and when he saw the green waist, he was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Follow." ”
It turned out that Xiaoxi had just come and said that her aunt was back, and the master asked her to go to the hall quickly.
Tang You had something in his heart, and he hurried all the way. When I was about to get to the hall, I thought of asking Greenwaist, "Where did you go?" ”
The green waist replied casually: "Bai Ziqi beat me." ”
Tang You slapped his head and scolded: "I know that it is a man with a small belly!" You knocked him in the eye last time, and he's looking for revenge! Then the light at the entrance of the hall looked at Greenwaist and was startled, "Huh? Why are you so big and small? ”
The green waist replied: "I was beaten by Bai Ziqi." ”
Tang You couldn't help laughing, patted the shoulder of the green waist, and said seriously: "Otherwise, you let him beat again, and make your right eye bigger." Hey...... Hey, hey, hey......"
The green waist looked at Tang You expressionlessly, Tang You finally stopped laughing, and said embarrassedly: "Miss, aren't I also good for you?" If anyone can beat people down, I'd rather be punched, miss! With that, he pushed open the door of the hall and walked in.
As soon as the door of the hall opened, a bitterly suppressed cry could be heard.
Tang You's aunt was pinching the handkerchief, covering her mouth tightly, crying breathlessly, as if she might faint at any time.
Master Tang paced back and forth on the ground, his face wrinkled into chrysanthemums.
Tang You was shocked, motioned to the green waist to close the door of the hall, ran to his aunt in three steps and two steps, and asked nervously, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Why do you come here in the middle of the night? Why do you cry so sadly? Did your uncle bully you? What about my little brother, why didn't he bring it? Is something wrong? ”
This aunt's maiden name is Tang Xi, married to a poor scholar, surnamed Li, and she is called Li Tang.
She is the old daughter of the Tang family's grandmother, only two years older than Tang You, and she has always been pampered at home. Three years ago, I married a poor scholar.
Grandma went early, and there was no eldest woman at home, and only one Aunt Hua couldn't be her master. When she went out to play, she saw a poor scholar selling calligraphy and paintings, so she secretly handed over a handkerchief and passed on her love.
When Master Tang knew about this, it was too late to stop the two young hearts that had not experienced wind and rain.
Under Tang Xi's old drama of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, Master Tang gave in and arranged a wedding for the two.
The scholar is a pretentious and high-minded businessman who looks down on Master Tang, except for one time when he returned to the door three days, he has never been to the door for so many years, and he has never recognized his relatives.
This Li Tang's life is tight, so he always comes to fight the autumn wind. She will not ask Master Tang for things with a dead face, but Master Tang feels sorry for this only girl, and he can't see her wearing shabby clothes, and will always fill a cart of food cloth on her home fashion for her to take back.
As for whether the scholar knows or not, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts.
Master Tang thought that since he was married, he was always looking forward to a better life. As long as the poor scholar doesn't toss around blindly and treats his sister well, he will turn a blind eye and let him have a good life. Isn't it just a few pieces of cloth and a few buckets of rice? He is willing!
But just like that, something happened.
When Li Tang saw Tang You coming, he couldn't hold back the crying that was originally deliberately suppressed, and it was like the Yellow River overflowing and bursting its embankment, pouring for thousands of miles. She grabbed Tang You's arm with one hand, crying so breathlessly that she almost fainted, but she couldn't say a complete sentence in her mouth.
Master Tang sighed and spoke for Li Tang's family: "Your aunt wants to come to stay at home for a few days with Lin'er in her arms. On the way, Lin'er was lost. ”
"Ah?!!!h Tang You's mouth opened wide, looking incredulous.
Master Tang frowned and said, "Shut your mouth!" One of your daughters ......" paused, and then turned into a sigh, "Hey......"
Tang You asked urgently, "Really lost?" ”
Li Tangshi nodded, held back his tears, and took a few big breaths before beating his chest and roaring: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Lin'er, how can you let your mother live?!!! As he spoke, he began to cry again.
Tang You's heart chuckled, it seemed that this child was really lost. She hurriedly asked Master Tang: "Dad, have you ever gone to the yamen to report the case?" ”
Master Tang shook his head and replied, "At this time, there is no one in the yamen. I couldn't find anyone when I went. I can only go early tomorrow. ”
Tang You immediately said: "Then find all the people to find it together!" Turning his head and grabbing Li Tang's hand, "Auntie, now is not the time to cry, we have to find Lin'er first." Tell me how Lin'er was lost? ”
Li Tangshi raised his red and swollen eyes, and choked up a little evasively: "I...... On the way here, I lost Lin'er. I didn't dare to go home, for fear that your uncle would divorce me in anger, so I came to my brother, hoping that my brother would help find Lin'er. ”
Tang You sat on the stool and frowned, "You said so generally, how can I help?" As if thinking of something, he rubbed the ground and stood up from the stool, "Let's go, auntie, let's go find my cousin!" ”
Li Tang was puzzled: "Cousin? Which cousin? He might help me find Lin'er? ”
Tang You said: "My cousin is Qu County Ling." Let's go find him, whether he sleeps or not, finding Lin'er is a big deal! ”
Li Tangshi seemed to see hope, clenched his veil and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, let's go find him." She remembered that the newly appointed county magistrate was a relative of her family. Of course, she listened to her eldest brother say this.
Tang You called the coachman, rushed to the carriage, and climbed up with Li Tang's tugg.
Master Tang was also busy getting into the carriage and accompanying them to see Qu Nanyi. He was a little hesitant in his heart, not knowing if Na Qu Nanyi would help. Although the loss of the child should be reported to him, the county magistrate, it is difficult to say whether he can help with his heart. After all, this kinship is something he insisted on. That's it, I don't want to, let's go first.
At the moment when the wheels rolled up, Tang You suddenly shouted, lifted the small curtains, and shouted at the green waist who was about to go back to the house: "Come here, hurry up and get in the car!" ”
Li Tang was anxious, knowing that he could find the county commander's help, this heart couldn't wait for a moment, and he couldn't wait for a while, and he couldn't wait to fly to the county commander's house immediately. Seeing that Tang You stopped, just to ask a girl to accompany him, he was very unhappy in his heart, and said viciously: "Let's go, what do you want that girl to do?!" ”
Tang You didn't listen, and insisted on telling the green waist to get in the car. She couldn't tell why, she always felt at ease with a green waist by her side.
The green waist quietly boarded the carriage and sat next to Tang You, but he had already scolded his mother in his heart. How much she wanted to see her little brother, and why were there so many people standing in front of her? I really want to kill them all.
But no.
Although she found her little brother, the current little brother doesn't recognize her. She still needs to retrieve all the sacrifices she needs for the sacrifice. She needs a veil! Damn the veil, damn the mad demon Gu, damn the cyayan! Damn Liuhe County!
Steady, can't mess up.
Now that the little brother has appeared, how could she let him go again and let him get lost? This time, even if you don't let it go until you die!
The green waist made up his mind, stabilized his mind, and accompanied Tang You to see Qu Nanyi like an old monk.
At this time, it was already the second watch, and there was a curfew in Liuhe County.
Master Tang couldn't care so much, but he was also afraid that Qu Nan would turn his face and not recognize people, so he kept urging the coachman to hurry up.
In the hall just now, Li Tangshi almost fainted from crying, naturally he didn't have time to look at the appearance of the green waist, but when he calmed down, his eyes also adapted to the darkness, so he glanced at the green waist casually, so frightened that she gasped, her heart almost stopped beating, and she hurriedly patted her chest with her hand, and then she barely got out of breath.
Li Tang wanted to ask Tang You why she brought such a scary girl, but this thought only swiped lightly in her mind, and she put it aside. Right now, where does she have the heart to think about other irrelevant things? Her Lin'er, her lovely Lin'er is almost two years old. It's just lost, how can she live? Thinking about it, Li Tang's tears couldn't help but flow down again.
Tang You didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only sigh lightly.
Everyone didn't know where Qu Nanyi lived, so they could only go to the county government to find out. Some county magistrates will live behind the county office, which is convenient for nearby offices; There are also prefectural magistrates who choose a comfortable house and go back and forth between the prefectural government and the house every day.
At this time, the main gate of the county government was locked, and the back door was still there.
Tang You took two steps forward and knocked the back door. The back door is connected to the house, and if Qu Nanyi lives in the county government, he will definitely live here.
In the darkness of the night, this hurried knock on the door was alarming.
After a while, an old man's voice came from behind the door and asked, "Who?" ”
Master Tang was overjoyed, took a step forward, leaned against the door panel, and replied loudly: "Uncle, I'm Boss Tang, I'm looking for Master Qu." ”
Tang You hurriedly followed: "We are the cousins of Master Qu!" ”
The old man didn't open the door, but replied in the old voice: "Master Qu is not here." ”
Tang You hurriedly asked through the door panel, "Do you know where Master Qu went?" We have an urgent matter with him. ”
The old man replied: "That's it...... The old man doesn't know where he went, so you can come back tomorrow. ”
Tang You lowered his shoulders, turned around, looked at Li Tang's eyes full of disappointment, pursed his lips and said, "Let's go." Can't find anyone, no way. ”
Li Tang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and began to cry again.
Tang You just wanted to climb into the carriage, but he heard a simple voice say, "He's here." ”
