Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 72 Miss Chen Family
Tang Wensong has been looking for his sweetheart in the past few months. When he sees Jiang Shunian on the street, he will often avoid him in advance, fearing that Jiang Shunian will see him and ask him why he is wandering on the street.

Jiang Shunian had also intentionally or unintentionally avoided Tang Wensong in the past few months. As the new year was approaching, he had nothing to do today, and he was indeed a little curious about Tang Wensong's wandering on the street in recent months, so he stopped his brother-in-law to take a look. Is there anything I can do to help?

Tang Wensong drained the wine in the glass in one gulp. He saw that something was bothering him, but he still shied away and said, "Brother-in-law, I miss you. It's just that I haven't been busy with anything recently. I just wanted to come to the street for a walk."

Jiang Shunian also knew that in the eyes of his uncle, he was just a playboy and couldn't do anything serious. It was normal that the other party didn't want to tell him.

Therefore, he did not force Tang Wensong to confide in him. He only took care of his brother-in-law to drink and eat, and introduced what kind of ditty the girl in the hall was singing.

Tang Wensong has been aimlessly searching for his sweetheart in the streets of Kyoto for the past few months. He is exhausted both physically and mentally. He is already thinking about whether to give up looking for her.

After all, he is the eldest son of the Duke of Rong, and the future Duke cannot delay the family's responsibilities because of the love between his children.

Picking up the jug and pouring himself another glass of wine, Tang Wensong drank it down in one gulp. Jiang Shunian next to him was a little surprised, and he felt that his uncle must have been in real trouble recently.

Not long after, there was a noise outside the private room.

"Which young master are you from? Why are you so ungrateful? You actually started touching my young master when you came up!" came a clear voice.

Tang Wensong, who was sitting depressed and drinking wine, listened to the familiar scolding voice and stood up hurriedly, flipping the stool to the ground without even thinking about it, and hurriedly opened the door and left the box.

It turned out that someone had drunk too much in Zuixianju, and happened to encounter a pair of masters and servants who opened the door and came out. The drunken man mistakenly recognized the person, and went up to hug the handsome young man, shouting that he would take someone with him. If you don't get drunk, you won't come home.

The young master persuaded his young man: "Okay, this young master just got drunk and admitted the wrong person. Didn't I avoid your young master just now? It's not a serious problem."

Then he hugged his fists and said apologetically to the surrounding guests who came out to watch the fun: "The boy below just made too much fuss and disturbed everyone's enjoyment. I deeply apologize."

Then he said generously to the shopkeeper of Zuixianju: "Shopkeeper, give each of these gentlemen a pot of wine for each table. I treat you. I hope you can forgive me."

Everyone expressed their gratitude kindly and praised the young master for being a personable person despite his young age.

The young master saw Tang Wensong's eyes dodge for a moment, and after apologizing, he quickly left Zuixianju with his servant.

Tang Wensong had been looking for him for several months but had no news. How could he let him go when he finally saw him here? He quickly ran after him, leaving the thoughtful Jiang Shunian alone.

Tang Wensong walked quickly to the other party and intercepted the master and servant, "Young Master, please stay."

The master and servant did not expect that someone else would be chasing after them, so they looked at Tang Wensong with some caution.

"It's you!" The servant dressed as a boy pointed at Tang Wensong and said in surprise.

The young master stopped the young man with his hand and said calmly: "I wonder if this young master has any advice?"

After months of searching, he finally saw his sweetheart again. While Tang Wensong was happy, he was speechless when he saw the other person and didn't know what to say. Tang Wensong worked hard to think of words, and then said intermittently under the gaze of the master and servant: "Well... I... I think the young master is a generous gentleman, and I want to make some friends."

The young master saw that Tang Wensong had recognized his master and servant and did not hide their identities. He said calmly and generously: "This young master must have recognized the little girl's master and servant. After all, you and I are different between men and women, so we may not be able to get along with each other." One or two, thank you very much for your kindness, young lady, I will say goodbye!"

Tang Wensong knew that he was too abrupt and did not dare to rush forward to pursue the people. He had to send someone to follow the master and the servant to see which house they belonged to.

The man followed the master and servant all the way and saw them entering the gate of Chen's house in Marquis Jingting's mansion before returning to tell Tang Wensong.

Jingtinghou Mansion? The eldest cousin of Mrs. Tai's mother-in-law is the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Marquis Jingting. It would be easier to have an acquaintance in the inner house.

Tang Wensong sent someone out to inquire about young ladies of the right age in Jingtinghou Mansion, and soon brought news to Tang Wensong.

The teenage girls in Jingtinghou Mansion include the eldest daughter Chen Xiaoyue, who is 14 years old this year and is the legitimate daughter of Chen Shizi; the second daughter Chen Xiaoqing, who is 13 years old this year, is the concubine of Chen Shizi.

The age of the two of them was more in line with the girl Tang Wensong saw. Now he had to find out whether the girl was a legitimate daughter or a concubine.

It was just before the New Year, and both my mother and eldest sister were quite busy, so I had to wait until after the New Year to find my eldest sister to inquire about my eldest cousin.

After nearly twenty days of busy work two years ago, Tang Bingxuan was very tired from following her mother, Mrs. Liu. Even the wife felt distressed when she saw her and said that she was so tired that her chin had become thin.

In the first month of the first month, all the houses were busy visiting relatives to pay New Year greetings. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, they went to their parents' homes to pay New Year greetings. The second and third bedrooms all went to visit their parents' homes. Madam Liu's natal family was far away in Yunzhou, so on this day Mrs. Liu took her children and Duke Rong and his wife were waiting in the mansion for Tang Jinglin's family of four to come to pay New Year's greetings.

There were many children, so the house was lively. Everyone had lunch lively. The wife went to take a nap because she was not energetic enough. Tang Jinglin followed Madam Liu to the main courtyard where the two sisters chatted about daily life.

Tang Jinglin ate a tribute orange in her mouth and whispered to Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law, has Song'er's marriage been decided?"

Mrs. Liu chuckled and teased Tang Jinglin: "How come you act like a thief in your own home and don't dare to speak loudly?"

Sister-in-law Tang Jinglin has been pampered by her family since she was a child. She is not a timid person, yet she was so cautious when asking about her nephew's marriage.

"Sister-in-law! I'm not just thinking about Song'er. If the two of us are gossiping about each other here, it will be terrible!"

There is also a story behind Tang Jinglin's words.

I heard that a lady from a family was chatting with her handkerchief at home, and she quickly said that she wanted to hire a girl from a certain family as a wife for the eldest son of the family. It was originally a private conversation between the two of them, and it was only the thoughts of the wife. think.

In the end, within five days, the private conversation between the two of them was somehow leaked out. Under the pressure of public opinion, the two families quickly arranged for their eldest son to be engaged to a girl from a certain family;

Unexpectedly, it was because they were forced into this marriage that both the young master and the girl were unwilling to accept it. The two of them often bickered in public places, creating a mess in both families. It was simply a joke in Kyoto.
