Da Suining

Chapter 10 Broth
Prime Minister Daying got up in the middle of the night, dressed neatly, and drove across half of Qingcheng in a carriage to go to court.

When I went out, the morning glow did not rise, and the morning dew did not dry.

About an hour in the morning.

Generally speaking, when it's time for breakfast, I'll be back.

It was three poles a day, and Xiang Suining chatted and laughed with his grandmother for a while, ate a roll, drank a bowl of eight-treasure porridge with some salted melon sticks, and ate a salted duck egg.Seeing that Mother Su trimmed four pots of flowers and plants, she didn't see Xiang Daying's carriage coming back.

"Go and have a look at the door, master, don't be tripped by something." Mrs. Xiang told Madam Su worriedly.

Xiang Suining didn't panic.

With Tang Xiaoniang at home, Xiang Daying will not be entangled by other things.

Tang Xiaoniang is the bait, and Xiang Daying is the fish.

Could it be that the fish were thrown away with a net?

I haven't heard that Xiang's family has a new enemy?

It was time for lunch.

Mrs. Xiang's lunch was a bit sluggish.

Xiang Suining ate a bowl of round-grained rice and some steamed cakes, and the sauced duck that Mrs. Xiang didn't want to eat, she twisted a duck leg and gnawed on it.

Usually there are delicious food in Changfu, but Xiang Suining dared to twist off the duck legs when eating together, and Tang Xiaoniang dared to twist Xiang Suining's legs, so looking at the sumptuous food, Xiang Suining could only eat the leftovers.

Later, Tang Xiaoniang simply drove Xiang Suining to the servant's room for dinner behind Mrs. Xiang's back. Xiang Suining could only see those big fish and meat on the ancestor's altar. When offering sacrifices to the ancestors in those years, those chickens and ducks, Xiang Suining wanted to lie down and take a bite. Every time she sacrificed, when others wiped their tears, she wiped her saliva.

Fortunately, grandma is pretending to be sick these days, the kitchen always brings food to the room, grandma loves her, let alone sauced duck, or a phoenix flying in the sky, Xiang Suining wants to eat, grandma will wait on the ground with a pot .

Before she finished eating the duck legs in her hand, Tang Xiaoniang came crying: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow".

Received the favor of the great master every day, and mourned every day, Mrs. Xiang didn't like to see her: "What are you doing here?"

"Come and say hello to the old lady. Hey, blah, blah, blah, blah."

"It's cold, there's no need to run back and forth, please be safe."

"Old lady, woo woo woo woo" Tang Xiaoniang's tears were like broken beads: "The master hasn't come back yet, it's already this hour, who can eat?"

Xiang Suining had a duck leg in his mouth, neither swallowed nor swallowed.

Tang Xiaoniang was so sad that it seemed inappropriate to eat and chew by herself.

Let's eat the duck legs first, it will be cold for a while.

Mrs. Xiang said indifferently: "Isn't it just that I came back a little later, and I can't tell what is going on with the man's family, so why did he start crying."

"Master must be entangled by Yingying Yanyan."

"Who is entangled?" Mrs. Xiang became more and more calm. If her son was really entangled by Yingyingyanyan, it would be great, and she would kill Tang Xiaoniang's prestige.

Tang Xiaoniang was devastated, and felt unhappy: "The servants come to report, the master and Chang Gonggong went to Chunhualou."

Xiang Suining secretly sighed in his heart that he was a good father.

Now I dare to go to the brothel, this is going to heaven.

In the winter of the seventh year of Xuanguo, Xiang Daying went to Chunhualou for a drink. It was said that it was a banquet hosted by someone else, so it was purely entertainment.Tang Xiaoniang was about to hang the beam when she got home, Xiang Daying coaxed her for a long time before coaxing her over.

Chunhualou is a brothel built along the river, just beside the Yong'an River.

The girls inside are lively and fragrant, and all of them are outstanding.

At night, the girls swim on the Yong'an River by boat, with flickering lanterns and elegant dresses, making the Yong'an River fragrant.

Tang Xiaoniang couldn't sit still when she thought of Xiang Daying's hands and hands, she couldn't sit still, and she rubbed a handkerchief until her heart broke: "Yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!"

About half an hour later, Tang Xiaoniang uttered "嘿嘤嘤" several times, the maids packed up the tableware and went down, Xiang Suining drank another cup of tea and ate a piece of hawthorn cake, Xiang Daying finally came back.

Tang Xiaoniang was distraught and indignant: "My master misses Chunhualou and doesn't come home. What's the point of me being alive? It's better to hang myself."

According to the usual practice, Xiang Daying has to make an apology as soon as possible, and swear to show his will.

Xiang Daying didn't pull her this time.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaoniang calmed down first, sat back and took a bite of the hawthorn cake on the plate: "Second girl has a good appetite, this hawthorn cake tastes pretty good."

"Forehead"

"The second girl is not worried about your father."

"Don't you know where my father is? I have nothing to worry about."

"What kind of place is Chunhualou? It's a place that cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. You will suffer a lot."

"It won't hurt my father to go there."

Tang Xiaoniang was devastated, her tears fell like broken beads, Xiang Suining's stabbing was a bit harsh.

Xiang Suining sat silently and ate another piece of haw jelly. Didn't men in ancient times have three wives and four concubines?

"I heard you were with Eunuch Chang? When did you become so friendly?" Madam Xiang asked.

Xiang Daying was served by the maids, took off the brocade vest, and warmed his hands with a Mrs. Tang: "It will be fine if it is as mother said, and it will be fine this morning. The emperor asked me to go. I asked some trivial matters, and Eunuch Chang was also there. "

"Eunuch Chang didn't say anything else."

"I told the emperor what I saw and heard in the city."

"What news?"

"It was said that people in the city were spreading the word that I was not filial, and Gao Tang was still alive, so he carried the coffin in."

"It seems that what happened that night offended Eunuch Chang." Mrs. Xiang grabbed a handful of red beans and rubbed them in her hands: "The emperor didn't reprimand you, did he?"

"That's not true. The emperor still protects me, saying that family affairs are not enough for outsiders."

"Why did you go to Chunhualou with Eunuch Chang when you got off the court?"

"Thinking that I offended Eunuch Chang, I also inquired carefully. He had an argument with Tang Wu that day because of a girl named Ah Shui from Chunhualou. I spent 20 taels asking Miss A Shui to sing a song for Eunuch Chang. Listen, but he didn't seem to like to listen, so we sat for a while, and we left. I secretly followed Eunuch Chang to his mansion outside the palace, and I came back only when I saw his carriage returning to his residence." Xiang Daying rubbed his hands: " So, I don’t know what to do.”

"Are you afraid that he will tell about the accident in our mansion that night?"

Xiang Daying nodded.

If the events of that night were pulled out, the emperor would definitely be angry, and the house of the dignified second-rank official would be uneasy, and he would not be able to sleep soundly again.

If the emperor asked people to investigate the events of that night carefully, Tang Wu would be revealed again.

But Tang Xiaoniang didn't take Eunuch Chang seriously: "He's just a cleansed person, master is second grade, how can master make amends to him, if he doesn't make amends, what would he dare to do."

"He revealed what happened that night, and your brother's life might be lost." Xiang Daying narrowed his eyes.
