After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 293 The Tang Family’s Ambition

What’s so good about Jin Shan?

Tang Hui immediately thought of a dozen of Jin Shan's advantages that she could think of, but she didn't want to tell the truth about any of them to the girls in front of her.

How do these girls know the real benefits of Jin Shan? They only saw Jin Shan's family background and the rumors made up by outsiders out of jealousy.

Tang Hui thought so, but subconsciously recalled the scenes every time she and Jin Shan were together since childhood.

She used to live a very relaxed and happy life when she was a child, but when she was eight years old, her family spent a lot of effort to hire two nuns from Beijing to teach her and her second sister. Her life took a turn for the worse and became... It became extremely difficult.

She had to learn a lot of things and recite a lot of things every day. In order to practice good manners, she walked back and forth in the house every day. She wore out her feet and developed many blisters. Her fingers were scratched by the strings, and her wrists were injured due to injuries. She practiced calligraphy too much and was sore...but she didn't dare to cry out in pain. Because even if she cried to her family, no one would feel sorry for her. Everyone would only blame her for being too squeamish. That pain was nothing at all. Could it be harder than her brothers practicing martial arts and shooting?

Everyone around her asked her to work harder. Her family had put so much effort into raising her to be an outstanding lady, wouldn't it be unfilial if she let them down?

The second sister Tang Ruo who was taught with her was better than her in every aspect. With the second sister in comparison, Tang Hui did not dare to relax at all, so she could only redouble her efforts, get up early and study hard in the dark.

But she still feels tired. She will also feel aggrieved in her heart.

Over the years, Jin Shan was the only one who would ask her privately if it was hard? Do you want to rest more? He would say that her family was too harsh on her. With her family background, she could live a good life even if she didn't work so hard.

He would bring her delicious snacks from outside, give her unique and interesting gifts, share interesting books with her, and even recite poems and lyrics for her...

Tang Hui secretly regretted it more than once, regretting that the two of them did not live twenty years ago. Twenty years ago, the Jin family was still very prosperous; twenty years ago, the Tang family did not have the ambitions it has today. If the two of them met thirty years ago, it would not be difficult to stay together for the rest of their lives.

At least it's easier than now.

A gentle, considerate and kind person like Jin Sun must be a good husband, right?

It's a pity that the Jin family failed to live up to their expectations, which caused Jin Shan's family to decline and be looked down upon by people outside. The Tang family also hopes that Tang Hui can marry a good husband from a powerful and noble family in the capital, and then help the second sister marry into a better family. Together, the two sisters will use the power of her husband's family to help the Tang family move higher and deeper. Far……

The Tang family is now one of the most famous families in Chang'an City, and has many outstanding children. However, because it is deeply tied to the Zhou family of the Zhenguo government, it is regarded as a thorn in the eyes of the powerful officials in the court. The future of the children is blocked, and they are trapped in the northwest...     Zhou The Queen Mother is getting old and she doesn't know how many years she can last, but Mr. Sun Ge is still highly favored by the emperor. If the Queen Mother Zhou dies, can the Zhou family retain its current power? Will the Tang family be implicated by the Zhou family? No one in the Tang family dared to gamble, so they could only find a way to make a living...

Tang Hui is the daughter of the Tang family and has been valued by her family since childhood. She knew she had to dedicate herself to her family. A good husband like Jin Shan was destined not to be owned by her. But she still hopes that he can get a satisfactory marriage, help him get rid of the family's decline, and enjoy the glory and glory that he should have...

Tang Hui looked at Peng Yuqi, and had already picked out many of her shortcomings in her heart. She was not beautiful enough, gentle enough, not talented enough in literature, and she was the eldest daughter of a widower... The most important thing is that Peng Yuqi didn't know the good things about Jin Shan at all!

However, she was Jin Shan's favorite wife. No matter how much Tang Hui looked down on her, he could only accept her. He had to convince himself that he must not feel any jealousy.

At least, Peng Yuqi was inferior to her in every aspect. Even if she became Jin Shan's wife, she would definitely be better in his mind. In this way, he will definitely remember her for the rest of his life...

Tang Hui retracted his thoughts, and when he opened his mouth again, he had calmed down a lot: "Mr. Jin is my fourth aunt's nephew. He has often come to play at home since he was a child. He and I... are like brothers and sisters, and I treat him naturally. It couldn’t be clearer. He is a kind, generous and easy-to-get-together person, and the most kind-hearted and friendly person. Just because he is born better than others, has outstanding literary talent, writes good poems, and is quite famous in the public, there are many people outside who are jealous of him. Talented people talk nonsense and make up some messy lies to ruin his reputation. But anyone who is familiar with him knows that he is definitely not what others say."

Zhou Yijun pursed her lips: "But... Sister Tang, even if you were familiar with him when you were a child, you won't have many opportunities to meet him when you grow up, right? How do you know that his temperament is still the same as when he was a child? Maybe he has changed It’s still unknown. After all, Sister Peng has stayed at Jin’s house for more than a month and can see Jin Shan every day. How can she still not know his true nature? It’s not like she doesn’t like Jin Shan because she listened to outsiders’ gossip.”

Tang Hui curled her lips subconsciously: "It's only been more than a month, and we are not together every day. Who can say that Miss Peng really understands him? It must be because Miss Peng doesn't like the behavior of the Jin family. That's why I just turned my anger on him. I don't know what's going on with Old Mrs. Jin's condition, but Mr. Jin is just a junior at home, how can he disobey his parents' orders? It's the Jin family who, when it comes to Old Mrs. Jin's serious illness, If anything is not done well, it is not something Mr. Jin can decide.”

Good guy, are you directly taking the blame for Jin Shan? Even if Jin Shan couldn't make the decision, for such an old man, wouldn't he even dare to invite a doctor to his home? After Peng Yuqi arrived at Jin's house, he remained silent. It was only through her own discovery of the "truth" that she invited a doctor to treat Mrs. Jin. Jin Shan didn't even say a word of warning, at least it was a charge of inaction. How come now that it's in Tang Hui's mouth, he doesn't need to take responsibility for what he did?

Haitang secretly labeled Miss Tang Hui as a "brainless fan and admirer of Jin Shan", and her curiosity about Jin Shan became even greater. What is the charm of this young master that can make Tang Hui, who has obviously received an elite education as a lady, be so devoted?

Zhou Wenjun and Peng Yuqi were having headaches over Tang Hui's words and deeds. The former wanted to curse, so he turned to his best friend and said, "Just tell her frankly what disgusting things Jin Shan has done. Otherwise, if you continue to listen to what she says, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but complain to my grandmother." !”

Before Peng Yuqi could answer, Tang Hui showed a nervous expression: "Miss Zhou, what do you want to sue me for? I have never said anything rude, so please don't misunderstand Mr. Jin and me..."

Zhou Wenjun spat at her: "What kind of misunderstanding are you talking about now? You have been running around saying good things about Jin Shan for a long time, but now you want to clear it up? Can you clear it up?!"

Tang Hui blushed and said: "Why can't you tell the difference? I...I have never had an affair with anyone, and I want to persuade Miss Peng to marry Mr. Jin. What I like is Mr. Jin's poems, and I can't bear to see him doing it. I came to persuade Miss Peng just now because of the pain of lovesickness. There are many girls who have the same idea as me, but you are not in Chang'an on weekdays and have just returned from the border town, so you don't understand. As long as you study for a few more years, you will understand that he is a What a talented, gentle and caring person!”

"What poems has Mr. Jin written?" Haitang heard that Tang Hui spoke so highly of Jin Shan and couldn't help but interrupt, "From what Miss Tang said, he seems to be a rare and talented man. I actually came from I have never heard of his reputation and would like to read about it..."
