Chapter 24
: A wealthy family
This relief was almost noon until dusk. The mountain of steamed buns had already been left, and the rice porridge in the big pot had completely dried up. The servants packed up their kitchen utensils and prepared to go home.
Qin Fei had a deep skill and didn't feel tired at all. He stood up and left. However, the girl who had been making rice porridge wanted to thank Qin Fei, but when she looked up, she could no longer see his figure, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The group packed up their things and turned to the end of the street. There was a black painted carriage and a mule carriage waiting there. Seeing the group coming, the people next to the carriage helped to take the things onto the mule carriage. The girl got into the carriage, closed the door, and walked slowly.
In the carriage was a middle-aged beautiful woman with fair skin and round and smooth beauty. Like that girl, there were two deep dimples on her face.
Seeing the girl's unkempt face, she couldn't help but complain: "Ling'er, tell you not to show up on your own. If you want to do good deeds, you will be ordered by the servants in the mansion to do it. Look, if you ruin yourself like this, how can you not feel sorry for your mother after seeing it? Don't come tomorrow, let the servants do it."
"How can that be possible? It is meaningful to do things yourself. Ling'er promises that she will never make herself sloppy tomorrow..." The girl named Ling'er smiled cutely.
The mother and daughter argued for a while, but even mothers could not resist their children. In desperation, the middle-aged beautiful woman had to pretend to be angry and said, "Take more people tomorrow. Don't do those heavy work by yourself. If you do this again, you will lock you up at home for your mother and don't allow you to go out."
"Ling'er knew that my mother was the best." The girl hugged her mother happily, then woke up and bounced away like lightning: "Oh, Ling'er's body is dirty, and she almost dirty her clothes."
The beautiful woman whispered: "Do you know you're dirty now? Go home quickly and take a shower and change clothes. There will be guests at home tonight. Mrs. Tang is coming to talk to her mother about the past, and Daier will come too."
Ling'er nodded, and the mother and daughter chatted about disaster relief for a while, and they arrived at the door of the house while chatting and laughing. As soon as the car door opened, Ling'er jumped out of the carriage and rushed into the house. Where could she look like a rich daughter? The middle-aged beautiful woman had no choice but to let her go.
After taking a bath, Ling'er appeared again, no longer the dress of the simple girl during the day. She was wearing a dark red dress, inlaid with countless fine diamonds, and looked very beautiful. She had all the braids she had tied up earlier, and her long hair was piled up with dark clouds behind her head, making her look extremely luxurious and dignified. She was an extremely beautiful woman, and once she dressed up, she was even more dazzling. She moved her lotus steps and walked into the main hall, as if she made the huge hall much brighter.
Ling'er walked up and told her good fortune to her mother and Mrs. Tang who were chatting in front of the hall. Mrs. Tang smiled and praised: "I haven't seen Ling'er for two months, so she is much more beautiful!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, "When it comes to beauty, which woman in Dongdu dares to compare with your Daier? Did the Tang family take all the benefits of the world? Back then, you were also a flower that stunned Dongdu. Now, your daughter is also the number one beauty in the Great Chu. It's really enviable!"
Mrs. Tang's smile was a little unnatural, and she said lightly: "The number one beauty in Dongdu back then was not our sister!"
The middle-aged beautiful woman was suffocated and woke up and said the wrong thing. She turned around and said, "Ling'er, go to the garden to find Dai'er."
Ling'er bowed and walked slowly to the garden. From a distance, she saw the afterglow of the setting sun shrouding a graceful girl in palace clothes. Her eyebrows were slightly frowned and she looked at a bouquet of flowers quietly, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Sister Dai'er, what do you think?" Ling'er laughed and said, "Are you thinking about your marriage?"
Tang Daier said lightly: "Even you little girl is looking for happiness with me? If you hate marriage, my sister will give you this marriage."
Ling'er walked to her with a smile, pulled over the swing in the garden, twisted her waist, and sat on it, slowly rippling: "My sister is still young and doesn't want to marry at all. But my sister chose a vegetable market street inspection this time, but it was the prince of Yan who was heartbroken..."
Tang Daier couldn't help but whisper: "Who did you learn to be sharp-tongued at such a young age? Could it be that Yi Xiaowan was ruined? That inspector was not chosen by my sister. Besides, even without him, Chu Yang's intestines will be broken. I can't keep my intestines for him, so I have to marry him by myself, right?"
Ling'er sighed leisurely: "Poor Brother Chu Yang, all his infatuation is in the air. However, our sister Dai'er's character is not worthy of a man of amazing talent. By the way, I heard from my mother in the carriage that the Imperial Heavenly Prison seems to have decided to leave the house."
Tang Daier said proudly: "If I don't want to marry, no one can force me. It's not that I, Tang Daier, look down on others, you know, who are the inspectors in Dongdu? Eat, drink, whore, gambling, cheating! They are just a group of hooligans in the government. Such a person, even if his sister never marrys for life, would not marry him."
Ling'er bit her lip and swinged around, dragging her shadow on the ground, and she whispered: "Sister Dai'er, not every inspector is so rogue. Today, my sister was helping the victims in the seventh street in the south of the city. There was a stupid inspector who ran over to help maintain order and helped cook rice porridge for the afternoon. Look, he is just a very good inspector!"
Tang Daier laughed and said, "Winter has not arrived yet, my sister's heart has reached spring!"
Ling'er suddenly became anxious: "Sister Dai'er, today I was dressed as a maid. The inspector had no intention at all and almost never said anything. He not only made fire and cooked porridge, but also helped deliver pickles and steamed buns. Don't believe it, tomorrow, you can also dress up as a maid and go with me to check it out. Maybe you can meet him?"
"You want to meet him, don't drag me as a shield!" Tang Daier smiled sweetly. In an instant, the garden of flowers seemed to have been robbed of their glory before her smile.
"I can't tell you." Ling'er pouted and said nothing.
Tang Daier's beautiful eyes rolled and she whispered: "Okay, in a few days, my sister will also secretly come over and take a look."
Since the hydrangea flew into the inspector for no reason, Tang Daier's mood naturally couldn't get better. She knew that she was just a victim between her father and His Majesty. Tang Daier was very beautiful in the east, and there were countless high-ranking officials who broke through the threshold of the Tang Mansion and wanted to marry the Tang family.
Tang Yin was of great power. In Da Chu, there were almost no one who could compete with him except for a few people. Naturally, he would not betroth his daughter at will.
But the two men who were most concerned about Tang Daier, one was the Prince of Yan, who had a prominent family background and outstanding appearance. He was infatuated with Tang Daier! Although he was rejected by Tang Daier many times, he still pestered him, pretending to be a dead dog that is not afraid of boiling water, and he entangled it to the end.
The other one is even more prominent. That is the crown prince of the dynasty!
In the early years, when the crown prince chose a concubine, Emperor Chu personally visited the Tang Mansion and asked Tang Daier to be the crown princess. Unexpectedly, Tang Yin and Tang Daier refused Emperor Chu simply and neatly. At that time, Emperor Chu's blue face made everyone in the Tang Mansion secretly sweat. It angered Long Yan and refused the emperor to propose marriage personally. Isn't this seeking death?
If Tang Yin had not had a deep root in the court, his civil servants and generals would have all held real power; if Tang Yin had not made great contributions to the Northern Expedition of the Great Wei, and had made great contributions; if Tang Yin and Emperor Chu had not had a friendship between him at a young age, their friendship would be extraordinary. Perhaps... Since Tang Daier would not have become the crown princess, Emperor Chu would never allow her to become the future Princess of Yan... Tang Yin was already powerful enough, and with the 150,000 elite soldiers of the King of Yan, it would have been a perfect match for heaven. If the two families formed an alliance because of their in-laws, the situation of the Great Chu would be completely rewrite.
The choice of hydrangea marriage was released under such a background. Tang Daier had already seen this through it, but she had no choice. The only thing she could do was tell Tang Yin that if necessary, she would rather become a monk than marry casually!
Tang Yin, who had always been very fond of Dai'er, told his daughter that if it were not for her choice, even if the great masters in the world were Qi Zhi, they would not let their daughter get married.
As for the inspector who got the hydrangea for no reason, Dai'er never took him to heart. However, she was born with a kind heart and was unwilling to harm the inspector.
Tang Xuan sent someone to kill the inspector, and Dai'er had a big fight with his elder brother about this, saying that the inspector was also an innocent person, so why should he kill him?
But later, the news came that Qi Heijian was killed, and the inspector had nothing to do! This made Dai'er a little confused!
Later, Tang Xuan instigated Chu Yang to smash the Caishi Street Inspection Office and found an excuse to kill Qin Fei. There was no news before that to Dai'er. When Dai'er found out, she only said that the unlucky inspector was dead this time, so she went to Tang Xuan and asked him to go to Caishi Street to stop him, but Tang Xuan refused to do it.
She thought Chu Yang had a noble status and many capable people around her. However, she unexpectedly once again! If someone hadn't secretly stopped him, the Prince of Yan would have died in Caishi Street!
Gradually, Dai'er also learned a lot about Qin Fei, intentionally or unintentionally. She knew that this was a genius figure that happened once in two hundred years in the Great Chu, even better than Pang Zhen when he was a boy. She also knew that that genius boy might have an indescribable relationship with a certain master!
But what does all this have to do with Tang Daier? Her heart has not yet found a harbor that can be parked!
In the excitement, a sound of footsteps sounded. The servants in the mansion quickly walked into the garden and reported: "Two ladies, the meal is ready. Madam calls you back for dinner!"
Ling'er jumped off the swing, took Tang Dai'er's little hand, and whispered: "I agreed that if you have free time these days, I'll secretly come to Sanjie Street to take a look. Even if I help my sister do some good deeds!"
