Chapter 475
A poor son 29
After asking a word, the two of them were stunned at the same time.
Lin Yutong looked at the woman's temperament and couldn't help but tentatively said, "Madam Jiang?"
The names of women are usually given by their husband's surname. For example, the woman in front of her is Lin Yutong very suspicious that she is Zhang Ge Lao's wife. Her maiden surname is Jiang, so she calls her Madam Jiang. Using her own surname is a kind of respect for her.
The woman did not nod or shook her head. But the eyes relaxed for a moment, and Lin Yutong knew that she had guessed it right again.
Mrs. Jiang looked at Lin Yutong again, "Since you know me, then I'll report your name and listen."
Lin Yutong pursed her lips and smiled, "We have an appointment to have tea together at noon the day after tomorrow. I am an impatient person. I can't wait to come to my house to ask my wife for a cup of tea?"
Mrs. Jiang smiled a little, "I gave you a needle, why are you still using it as a stick? Come to me for tea? If you don't leave the front door and the back door, are you planning to go in through this wall?"
"I can't get in the front door, and I can't get in the back door. The threshold of the Zhang family is too high. I'll be able to become a guest of the Zhang family. I'm only worth climbing over the wall and making my wife laugh." Lin Yutong was not angry at all because of the joke. She teased herself and looked at Mrs. Jiang with a smile, "Who knew that she was so unfortunate that she happened to be out. I wonder if she was honored to go to this capital with her wife at night."
Mrs. Jiang laughed, "I haven't seen such an interesting little girl in years."
Lin Yutong was shocked by Mrs. Jiang and the laughter of haha, "Madam, this is the back wall..." We are both thieves, half a dozen, and we can't be so arrogant.
Mrs. Jiang laughed again, and then whispered: "Little girl, you are a thief, I'm not. I like to eat stinky tofu on the back street, and I often buy it. I often eat it outside at night." As she said that, she pointed to her head that had suddenly shrunk from the wall, "This is the back wall of my house. I don't like to walk around the door, so I like to climb over the wall. No one else can control it. Look, they are all used to it. Let's do this, I won't tell others about your thief. You can treat me to stinky tofu tonight."
Lin Yutong nodded, "Okay! Then let's go."
She was indeed hungry. When she thought of the smell of stinky tofu, her stomach couldn't help but whine.
"Why? I'm busy being a thief and don't have time to eat?" Mrs. Jiang said jokingly.
Lin Yutong thought the wife was very interesting and couldn't help but say, "I was a thief this time, and you caught me. Now I'm going to be the name of a thief. Do you think I'm wronged?"
The two of them were talking and joking all the way, and they were not as good as meeting for the first time.
The back street is not far from the house, and most of the people live in this mansion. The street is narrow but extremely lively. The servants are on duty and there are not too long time. There are also many people coming in and out in and out in the middle of the night. The stinky tofu stall is remote, but because of the 'stench smell spreading', the business is actually pretty good. In the middle of the night, there are not many people willing to eat outside, so they all bring the bowls, buy them, and then take them back. Even if they don't bring the bowls occasionally, the boss also asks them to take them away and send them back later.
A table was set up symbolically by the stall, leaning against the corner of the wall.
Lin Yutong and Mrs. Jiang were sitting in the corner. The lights were dim and they couldn't see the two of them sitting here without looking closely.
"Boss, let's have four bowls." Mrs. Jiang said generously.
The boss responded and came over to wipe the table again.
Lin Yutong handed a silver bean and said, "Put more sauce."
The boss immediately responded quickly and turned around to work hard.
"This boss's father sells stinky tofu. When I was young, my father always secretly hugged me at night and climbed up the wall to eat stinky tofu. When he returned to the mansion, he had to go to the well to draw water first. He was afraid that my mother would smell it." Mrs. Jiang sniffed, "Later, somehow, every time he came back, there was already water that had been brought up by the well. We thought the servants in the mansion had a wink. Until I found out, no matter winter and summer, the water at the well was just warm, making mouthwash water, which was just right for the cold and hot. Then I realized that it was my mother who prepared it in advance." She sniffed again, "It's this smell, it smells so fragrant!"
Lin Yutong was so hot that she said that Mrs. Jiang missed the old general Jiang and the old lady. She opened her mouth and realized that she was pale and powerless in any comfort words.
The boss brought the stinky tofu over and said, "You two can use it slowly."
Lin Yutong picked up the bamboo stick, tied it up and ate it.
Mrs. Jiang laughed. She ate more generously than Lin Yutong, and she could eat a large piece in one bite.
After eating a bowl and waiting for the next bowl, Mrs. Jiang wiped her mouth and said, "Do you know how the Jiang family died?" Without Lin Yutong's answer, she said to herself, "It was the emperor who listened to the words of the eunuchs and did not provide food and grass to the soldiers who fought. They were unable to fight and starved to death. The eunuchs sold the military intelligence to the enemy country, but also suppressed food and grass. The city that had just been captured was surrounded, and my father would rather die than surrender. Half a month later, the enemy army would destroy itself without fighting the city. There were no living people inside. In addition to my father, my three brothers, and hundreds of generals of the Jiang family were starved to death."
Looking at the stinky tofu the boss brought it to him, Lin Yutong's throat was so blocked that she couldn't eat it.
But Mrs. Jiang ate her own bowl in big mouthfuls, and also ate the bowl in front of Lin Yutong.
Then he coughed violently, and could hear her sniffing sound. Then he saw her raising her sleeves to wipe her eyes and said, "It's choking!"
Actually, she was crying.
The two of them got up and walked back slowly. Mrs. Jiang whispered as she walked, "My mother told me to swear that I would never mention revenge in my life. Then she committed suicide. That well was the well where my father and I always rinsed our mouths back then."
Lin Yutong listened silently, but her heart felt heavier.
"You said, if this revenge is not avenged, can I sleep peacefully?" Mrs. Jiang stopped and turned to look at Lin Yutong.
Lin Yutong thought that if he had changed himself, not only would he have to kill the eunuch, but even the emperor would have to overturn him if he had the right opportunity.
Mrs. Jiang smiled self-deprecatingly, "So..." She stretched out her hand, "This is for you!"
Lin Yutong was stunned, "This is..." key.
"What are you pretending? You're not just for this." Mrs. Jiang directly sent it to Lin Yutong, "I smelled the smell when you come to your door today. I'm very ambitious. No matter this... I like it. You are different from the stubborn old man in our family. He is all thinking about the country of the Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor has a grudge against our family, so he thinks it's okay to support a prince to succeed to the throne. As for the change of dynasty, he never dares to think about it. A loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this tone, the couple had a good relationship, so they stole the key, "How did you explain to Mr. Zhang?"
Mrs. Jiang laughed and said, "Explanation? What are you going to explain? First, he will not leave me. Because he can't bear to leave, because I gave birth to three sons for him. He has no other woman except me. Second, he can't beat me. Of course, he can't bear to beat me. Third, it's useless for him to scold me. I never hear anything I don't like to hear. Fourth, even if I want to confine me, my house can't help demolishing. He doesn't have that much money to ask people to repair the house all day."
"He has a better mind than me, but he just can't control me. As for the key I took and then accidentally lost... what he probably did was to find someone to make a fake one. If he really couldn't use it, his expression would definitely be more innocent than mine..."
Lin Yutong looked at Mrs. Jiang in shock. This was completely different from what Lin Yutong guessed. This was the lawless woman who was spoiled by others. Suddenly, she was so envious that she suddenly had a good impression of Mr. Zhang. The man who loved his wife so much that he was so depressed that he was not very bad.
After Mrs. Jiang finished speaking, she said again: "You have come out of the Zhao Mansion. It seems that you have succeeded. Then this matter will be easier. However, if I give you the key, I have to ask you for something for my old man."
Lin Yutong said seriously: "You just want to give me instructions."
"Don't kill King Zhao first, otherwise I'll go south to Jinling and my life will be difficult." Mrs. Jiang sighed, "This person should not be too threatening to the overall situation. He has been targeted by the emperor. If it really gets in trouble, I will personally defeat him."
Lin Yutong was stunned, but unexpectedly it was this. This was reasonable. Zhang Ge Lao got on the King of Zhao's ship, which was not a secret. Once he lost his master, Zhang Ge Lao was in the court... he could only take the initiative to 'abandon the dark and turn to the light', and he could not go to another family just because his master died. This was worthless. She thought about it and said, "King Zhao would have a fever tomorrow and catch a cold. Don't drink the medicine soup to drive away the cold, it will be fine after half a month."
Mrs. Jiang was shocked. This method was really obscure. Even if she died, she might not be able to think of who was the one who took the action. "Okay! You're honest enough."
She smiled in a low voice and said, "In the future, if you lose, I beg our master to let you live a life. But I hope you win."
Lin Yutong also smiled and said, "In the future, if you lose, I beg our master to give you a way out. Moreover, we will definitely win."
After they said that, they looked at each other and then laughed.
"Madam Jiang, we can't underestimate the heroes of the world." Lin Yutong said helplessly. The words just now were really frivolous, as if the world's major events could be decided between two women's chats.
Mrs. Jiang shook her head, "If there is another party, don't believe that you and me join forces, and you can't take the other party's head?"
Lin Yutong gave Mrs. Jiang a thumbs up, "Madam is a real hero!"
"Okay! Don't say anything flattering, just do something else here." Mrs. Jiang turned around, "I don't know when I will meet again after this farewell."
