Chapter 286

·Receive letter

Everyone discussed the Mid-Autumn Festival and diluted the sorrow in their hearts a lot.

As time entered the beginning of September, the rain in Hangzhou suddenly increased. It was rainy for seven or eight days in ten days, and there were fewer pedestrians on the streets. There were no customers in the tea shop in the Tang family, so Tang Songzhou stayed at home to practice calligraphy, and the full handling of the exchanges was handed over to Tang Xuehua.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shisi, who had returned to Suzhou at this time, wrote two letters, one of which was written to Tang Xuehua. The letter said that he helped him to contact the Tang family with a tea business. The other party was a family in Suzhou, and he would be able to deliver it there in the month. Now it is difficult to trade. Although Xiao Shisi introduced the business not big, Tang Xuehua still regarded this as a big deal. Not only did he personally choose the tea that was made of good quality, he also gave two taels of Yuqian Longjing.

Tang Songzhou was very satisfied after hearing this, and felt that his son had finally grown up and had a better mind to do business.

Another letter was written to Tang Xueru.

The Tang family was very curious and wondered what kind of friendship Xiao Shisi and Tang Xueru could have. Why didn’t anyone write another letter to her? Could it be that something happened between the two people that outsiders didn’t know?

Mrs. Tang and Bai Rongxuan, who understood the inside story, knew it well and guessed that Xiao Shisi was probably going to tell Tang Xueru about the two designs to punish Jiang Yaozu.

As expected, Xiao Shisi said in the letter that after he returned to Suzhou, his aunt Dong Yulu told his father and mother what he did, and finally got to his grandfather. He was beaten up and could not get out of bed until the time of writing. He had to lie down when he was writing. He was not allowed to go out even after he recovered from the injury. He had to stay in the door and think about it until the end of the year. His schoolwork was even worse several times, and it was estimated that it would take a year or two to write. Xiao Shisi was not very balanced and asked how Tang Xueru was dealt with by the Tang family.

Tang Xueru pinched the letter for a while and didn't react. She asked Bai Rongxuan, "What to deal with? Why should I deal with me?"

Bai Rongxuan smiled so hard that her stomach hurt.

Xiao Shisi probably asked this because he didn't understand the situation of the Tang family. Tang Xueru and Xiao Shisi joined forces to dig a trap for Jiang Yaozu, no one knew about it except Mrs. Tang and Bai Rongxuan. These two people who spoiled Tang Xueru the most. It was too late to help her whitewash the peace, so how could they betray her?

That matter has been turned over in the Tang family, and no one has mentioned it now, let alone deal with it. Fortunately, Tang Xueru has matured a lot after this matter, not as willful as before. She can not only calm down and copy scriptures, but also calm down to help embroider.

Bai Rongxuan explained with a smile, and Tang Xueru pouted her mouth and said with disgust, "This little Si Si is really. I am of the same seniority as his aunt, and he has no respect for me at all."

Bai Rongxuan held back her smile and asked, "Why doesn't he respect you?"

Tang Xueru snorted and said with a cold face, "He hopes that everyone will follow him, and he wrote a letter to ask about my situation. He clearly wanted to know how cruel I was taught by my family. Do you want to reply to the letter and get angry with him? The bad things were done together, but one person's butt was opened, but the other person had nothing to do. If he knew about it, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood."

Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "It's not good. She is fourteen years younger than you. Why are you serious about him? I just said that I am from an aunt, but I am still so childish when doing things. How can I look like an elder?"

Tang Xueru was unhappy after hearing her words, but her expression eased a lot. "Yes, he felt that he was quite smart, but I think he was all smart. If he continued like this, he would suffer a big loss sooner or later."

Seeing this, Bai Rongxuan nodded with a smile, "Well, she looks a bit like an elder."

Tang Xueru smiled and put away the letter, "What do you think I will deal with this letter? I will definitely not keep his letter, otherwise the box my aunt gave me will be dirty."

The letter Bai Xiuzhi wrote to her a few days ago was the first letter Tang Xueru received in her life. She was very excited and would take it out from time to time to take a look. In just two days, the edges of the letter were worn out. Seeing that she was holding the letter like a treasure, Tang found a small box of pineapple wood for her to keep it for her to hold the letters or put some of her own gadgets.

The pineapple wood box was given to Tang by Bai Rongxuan's father Bai Yuanpei. Not to mention the exquisite handwork, the carved patterns were from ancient band teams. There were twelve people playing and singing, each of whom held musical instruments, and their clothes were different in appearance, and even their expressions were vivid and interesting.

This box is very similar to Tang Xueru's temper. She likes it so much that she put Bai Xiuzhi's letter in place that day. However, it seems a little empty if only one letter is contained in the box. Tang Xueru has been writing letters to her these days, which makes the Tang family laugh and cry.

Mrs. Tang smiled helplessly, "Everyone lives under the same roof. They usually look down and see each other without looking up. They have finished saying anything in person. What do you want to say when you write a letter?"

Tang Chongzhou said with a stern face, "Put your mind to serious things, don't always think about these useless things. I heard that you and Rongxuan are busy with embroidery recently? How are the embroidery? When will it be completed? After the completion, hurry up and practice calligraphy. Although they are girls, they can also use the management of accounts in the future. Look at your sister Xueping, who has neat and beautiful handwriting, and has a good abacus. You have to study hard."

Tang Xueru immediately stopped and followed Bai Rongxuan to embroider the flowers, never mentioning the matter of writing a letter.

The two of them listened to the sound of rain and embroidered peacocks while talking. The progress was very slow every day. Tang Xueru was still very fast. She reminded Bai Rongxuan, "My cousin Yuli has not yet written a single word of marriage. It is still a while since she got engaged to the marriage. We embroidered slowly, and it is always time to do some time. We are working slowly. We are working in a hurry. If we embroidered something wrongly, wouldn't it waste our efforts?"

Bai Rongxuan squinted her eyes and looked at her.

If she remembered correctly, she just shouted a few days ago to finish embroidery and finish the work, and then she would never take needlework in her life. After only a few days, why did she suddenly change her mind?

Bai Rongxuan saw through her little thoughts at a glance and said bluntly, "You heard from my uncle that you have to practice calligraphy after embroidery of the peacock, so you want to work hard, right?"

Tang Xueru was poked at the center and coughed uncomfortably, "Who said that? I'm thinking about you wholeheartedly. After all, it's a look that you have worked hard to think about. You must also hope to be perfect, right? If you are shoddy because of the rush to work, wouldn't it be a waste of your efforts? We'd rather be slower than be afraid that it will be embroidered more carefully."

Bai Rongxuan smiled, feeling that Tang Xueru, who was so mean, was actually a little cute. She held her chin and looked at Xiaoyu outside the window, and couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know what my brother is busy with now?"

Tang Xueru smiled and said, "What else can I do? Reading. Brother Zhi must have had a grudge against books in his previous life, so he had to read them all in this life before he could finish it. In the past, when he was at home, he was like a pile of books, and he refused to agree when he asked him to go out, just like a puppet. At that time, grandmother and aunt followed behind him and reminded him that even if he was not happy, he could not agree. He could finally respond to the time when eating and sleeping. Now he would not be able to accept military orders abroad, so he could not do it all by his own nature?"

This is exactly what Bai Rongxuan is most worried about.

She frowned and whispered, "What do you think you should do?"

"What can I do? He is so far away from us, and even if he is willing, he can't use his strength." Tang Xueru sighed, "Unless we fly to Nanjing to see with our own eyes what kind of life he is living, and whether he has eaten and sleeping on time, we can only sit here and do it in a hurry."

Bai Rongxuan's eyes lit up as she heard it, "You said if I discussed with my grandmother and wanted to go to Nanjing, would she agree?"

"Definitely not!" Tang Xueru said without thinking, "The world is so chaotic now, Brother Zhi is relieved to come back from Nanjing, how could he let your daughter's house run so far?"

Bai Rongxuan felt that what she said made sense and lowered her head in a depressed mood.

It's a snowy day. I'm very happy to have warm soup.
