Chapter 18·Departure

Tang Songzhou quickly returned with an umbrella, but he didn't expect that Xiangshi and Tang Xueli were followed behind him. Everyone in the room was stunned when they saw Xiangshi, and Huang almost blurted out, "Why is she here?" That's it.

Tang Songzhou reported to Mrs. Tang, "Mom, the carriage is ready. The eldest aunt knew that Yuluo was arriving today, so she brought Xueli here specially and wanted to follow her to the ferry to pick her up."

Mrs. Tang was a little surprised.

When did the eldest brother and the second brother become so close?

Mrs. Xiang hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked for instructions in a humble and respectful manner, "Old madam, I heard that the eldest daughter of our family was going back to the Tang family to visit relatives, so I hurriedly brought Sister Li over. Although the family was divided, there was still a small sum of money. If you can't write two Chinese characters, you have to let Sister Li and I follow you no matter what, and let her meet these cousins. They still have a long way to go. If something happens, we will still need the sisters. I'm here to help you. I also know that my status is too low to be on the stage, so don't worry, I'll just look at you from a distance and not come closer." Because she came in a hurry, the corners of her skirt were wet with rain, and what she said was comprehensive. , one by one, our family seems very close. Although it comes suddenly, it is not annoying.

Bai Rongxuan saw her at the side and couldn't help but admire her foresight.

Mrs. Tang was naturally happy when she saw that her eldest daughter was giving honor to her granddaughter, and she immediately agreed.

Although Mrs. Huang despises Mr. Xiang, she can barely handle this matter. She is the hostess of the house, so she has no choice but to ask, "Has Aunt Xiang had breakfast? I see your skirt is wet." Now, would you like to find one for you to change into?"

Mrs. Xiang was flattered and said, "We have already had breakfast. I knew the weather was bad, so I brought a skirt and put it in the carriage. I can just change it when I get back in the carriage. How can I ask for your clothes?"

Mr. Huang was just trying to save face, so when he saw her saying this, he naturally wouldn't give her any more advice.

Tang Xueru on the side had already jumped out and took Tang Xueli's hand and said cheerfully, "Have you really had breakfast? My mother prepared a food box and sugar water on the carriage. We will chat and eat later."

Xiangshi's eyebrows jumped a few times after hearing this. What does this mean? Does it mean that she lied to Tang Xueli's face and abused Tang Xueli without even giving her breakfast?

Unexpectedly, Tang Xueli didn't pay attention to her at all, and she didn't have so many twists and turns in her heart. After listening to Tang Xueru's words, she said happily, "Okay, because I was walking in a hurry, I really didn't have enough to eat."

Xiang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Bai Rongxuan almost laughed out loud when she saw Xiang's restrained expression. She hurriedly came to Tang Xueli's side and whispered with them, hiding her emotions.

Mrs. Tang couldn't wait any longer, so she simply stood up and said, "It's hard to walk on a rainy day. It's better to leave early than to waste time on the road. There's no reason to make distant guests wait for us, so let's set off now."

Bai Rongxuan knew that she couldn't wait any longer, so she and Tang Xueru stepped forward to help her. Tang Xueping and Tang Xueli were behind each holding a large oil paper umbrella. Everyone quickly arrived at the gate, and the carriages were already waiting in a row. Now, the elderly Yan Guanshi is maintaining order. Mrs. Tang was a little confused when she saw the battle in front of her. She turned to Tang Songzhou and asked, "Why have so many carriages been prepared?"

Tang Songzhou whispered, "Only a small half are hired by me, and the other half are hired by the Dong family's housekeeper named Zhou Yanfu. I'm afraid they are worried that the servants and luggage of the Dong family will have no place to put them."

Mrs. Tang nodded, and sure enough, she saw Zhou Yanfu holding an umbrella and inspecting one carriage after another. He was very serious and attentive. When he saw the old lady going out, he hurried over to say hello. Mrs. Tang nodded to him. He nodded, looking extremely satisfied with what he was doing.

The north wind was getting stronger, blowing raindrops directly on the body. Bai Rongxuan and others hurriedly served Mrs. Tang to get on the carriage first, followed by Huang and Tang. They had a daughter-in-law and a daughter, and they would definitely follow. Mrs. Tang has a carriage, so she can be cared for on the road easily.

Because the Tang family didn't hire many carriages, the Huang family left old people like Grandma Li and Mother Cui at home instead of going to the ferry to pick them up.

Naturally, Mr. Xiang wanted to get on the carriage and take the opportunity to show his face in front of the old lady. Mr. Huang seemed to have guessed her thoughts. Before getting on the carriage, he turned around and said to her, "The carriage is small. If you get on again, it will be a bit crowded." , Aunt Xiang, it’s better to sit in the back car with Xueli.”

Xiang didn't dare to say anything, so he could only agree with a wry smile.

As a result, Tang Xueli was dragged into Tang Xueping's car again by Bai Rongxuan and Tang Xueru. Xiang could only grit his teeth and let his wet nurse accompany him in a car.

When Tang Xuezhen saw that all the female relatives got on the carriage, she ran to the front carriage and led the way with her father. The carriage drove toward the canal port in a mighty manner.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The shops on both sides of the city had closed their doors, and not a single person could be seen on the road. Tang Xueru opened the car window in boredom and looked out, and raindrops immediately splashed on her face. face.

Tang Xueli looked at the weather outside worriedly, frowned and said, "It's really not going well. How could it rain so heavily on such a good day?"

It was very dangerous to sail the boat, and it was such bad weather. Everyone was worried about the Dong family's boat. Tang Xueping did not forget to tell her little sister, "Ru'er, sit back and don't come close to the window. It's windy and heavy outside." It's because of the rain. What will happen if you get gonorrhea later? The elders in the family are all busy with cousin Yuluo's arrival. If you get sick, wouldn't it make things worse?" Although the words were meant as a lesson, there was a deep concern in his tone. and love.

Tang Xueru said oh, obediently closed the car window and sat inside, snuggling next to Bai Rongxuan. Although she was quite naughty and made trouble for her elders, she obeyed the eldest sister's words and did not dare to talk back easily.

Bai Rongxuan smiled when she saw this, and opened a food box that Huang specially placed in their car before leaving. There was not only a pot of warm snow pear syrup, but also many newly made pastries in the back kitchen. Tang Xueru saw it. Over snacks, she finally gained some energy and started talking more. She had always respected Tang Xueping and didn't dare to ask questions. Bai Rongxuan was seen every day, so the topic naturally turned to Tang Xuelia.

"What can I do?" Tang Xueli looked uncomfortable at the concern. "In addition to studying and practicing calligraphy at home, I just do some needlework. When my father is away, I have to keep an eye on the daily expenses of the family. My life is very boring."

The Tang family's house is richer than the second house, and there are more servants in the family than the second house. For example, Tang Xueli has two personal maids to serve her, which is incomparable to the second house. It is said to be a trivial matter, but in fact it is quite troublesome to manage. This is also In disguise, it shows that Tang Xueli is actually a person with great housekeeping skills.

Bai Rongxuan looked at her snow-white skin and shy appearance, and suddenly realized that in her previous life, Xiangshi wanted to marry Tang Xueli to a widower regardless of her reputation. Was he also afraid of her ability, and wanted to knock her directly into the mud pit and never stand up?

?

Thinking of what happened to Tang Xueli in her previous life, Bai Rongxuan couldn't bear it, and her tone became urgent, "How do you get along with Aunt Xiang? Have you ever given you any trouble?"

Not only Tang Xueli, but also Tang Xueping was slightly startled by this question. Although Xiang married into the Tang family and put on a show that he only liked Tang Chongzhou and had no other intentions, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Xiang was using

Tang Chongzhou, who used some means to seduce her, is not too young to be Tang Chongzhou's daughter at her age. I'm afraid no one would believe her if she said she had no other intentions. Most of the servants in the eldest room pointed at her and said anything.

Bian You never wanted to see her, so it was impossible for Tang Chongzhou to have no objections to this, but he just didn't want to say much. Therefore, people in the second house rarely talked about Xiang's affairs, and they would not make irresponsible remarks in front of the head of the house.

, Bai Rongxuan’s abrupt question is somewhat inappropriate.

What's more, Tang Xueping's understanding of Bai Rongxuan may be due to her childhood experiences. Bai Rongxuan has always been low-key and careful in her dealings with others, and she doesn't care too much about other people's affairs. She doesn't know what happened today.

Tang Xueli was stunned for a while before replying, "She and I don't have much interaction on weekdays. She lives in her yard and has to take care of Brother Rong and her father. She occasionally comes to my place and just sits and leaves. My relationship with her is that

Far or not, close or not, let alone causing trouble."

I neither said good things about Aunt Xiang nor bad things about her.
