Chapter 157
After achieving Wuyang boy’s true qi, Song Ankang’s strength has broken through to a new level, and his overall combat power has soared several times. He basically has no opponents in the foundation building period.
Even if he didn’t have a spiritual weapon on him, Song Ankang was sure he could deal with the ancestors of the Tang family.
However, the ancestor of the Tang family should be one of his own, so why is he always regarded as an imaginary enemy?
Song Ankang shook his head and smiled, maybe it was because the ancestors of the Tang family loved that idiot Tang Quanli too much, so they always confuse father and son together.
Compared with Tang Quanli, the ancestors of the Tang family were much better people. If not for this, they would not push Tang Yelan to become the new head of the Tang family.
In the next few days, Song Ankang continued to accompany Peng Xuan’er while adapting to the soaring strength, and his cultivation level was still improving step by step.
Song Ankang’s little life was very happy, but Tang Mingyue was already a little anxious.
Ever since she left Shengyun Tower that day, Tang Mingyue has asked several poets to help her perfect her poems. Unfortunately, the results are not satisfactory. closed.
Both Tang Mingyue’s mentor and Tang Mingyue like the way of poetry, so Tang Mingyue hopes to write a war poem that can be passed down, to see off her mentor, and at the same time boost the morale of the entire army, instead of a mediocre poem.
Even if it cannot be passed on, at least it must reach the upper-middle level. Unfortunately, even this cannot be done.
Seeing that none of those poems in Kyoto could meet Tang Mingyue’s goal, Tang Mingyue gradually pinned her hopes on Song Ankang and sent more people to find Song Ankang’s whereabouts.
It’s a pity that Song Ankang and Peng Xuan’er have been living their own lives in Anxuan’s house these days, and basically don’t go out very much. Even though Tang Mingyue sent people to search all over the capital, they couldn’t find Song Ankang’s whereabouts.
No, to be precise, it should be Zhao Xiyu’s whereabouts.
Just when Tang Mingyue was about to be disappointed, she heard something that surprised her.
In the Tang family’s mansion, in the second courtyard, Chunhua, who came back to get the ledger, was chatting with Xia Chan and Dong Xue about his son-in-law Song Ankang, and Tang Mingyue came nearby at this time.
“Is my uncle really that powerful now?” Dongxue with bright eyes and kind eyes asked curiously, and Xia Chan, who was next to him, also widened her bright eyes and looked at Chunhua without blinking.
Chunhua smiled and nodded: “The current uncle is not only powerful, it is like a different person, with a completely new change, he has managed Chaoyun Farm in just over a month, and even created a workshop. For business, when leaving Chaoyun Grange, the people in the whole Grange took the initiative to follow, one can imagine how capable my aunt is.”
“Wow… this incident turned out to be true, I thought they were exaggerating.” Dongxue opened her mouth wide in shock.
Xia Chan raised her eyebrows slightly: “This kind of ability, even in the entire Tang family, is rare. Is it really my uncle who did it?”
“Of course my uncle did it, I’ve confirmed it.” Chunhua nodded and said: “My uncle has changed too much now, and I will definitely surprise you when I see you. You two are not allowed to complain about my uncle in the future. My uncle is the same as before. It’s like two different people.”
Dongxue pouted and said, “I don’t have it. You were the one who complained most about my aunt before, and now it’s up to us.”
“I don’t have it. It’s obviously you who complain the most.” Chunhua quickly denied: “Okay, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again in the future. We are all my uncle’s housemaids, how can we say that my uncle is wrong.”
Seeing Chunhua change the subject, Dongxue snorted, “Your uncle is in the white jade mulberry forest, is it okay? Did Tang Quanli find trouble for you?”
“That’s not true. Since Tang Quanli’s people were driven out of the white jade mulberry forest by my uncle that day, nothing has happened.” Chunhua said with a smile: “I really didn’t expect that my uncle was so domineering that day. Tang Quanli’s people can’t do anything, I didn’t expect my uncle to act neatly, he would do it as soon as he said it, and he was not indecisive at all.”
Xia Chan worriedly said: “During this time, has anyone criticized my uncle for being unfilial?”
“No.” Chunhua shook his head: “This matter was originally Tang Quanli’s fault. He was greedy for so much money in the white jade mulberry forest. How could he have the nerve to criticize my uncle and eldest lady because of this matter.”
“And my uncle is not a vegetarian. Immediately after this incident happened, we sent people to spread the truth everywhere, so that everyone would know that Tang Quanli was at fault first. Even if Tang Quanli wanted to attack my uncle and eldest lady, it would not be of much use. .”
Xia Chan was surprised: “I didn’t expect my uncle to be so capable now. He has even considered this point. I don’t know how the current business situation of Baiyu Sanglin is. If it is not good, I’m afraid Tang Quanli will have something wrong.”
“Don’t worry.” Chunhua said with a smile: “Young master is very courageous. Since Tang Quanli’s compensation money arrived in the account, he spent more than half of the money to maintain and replace various equipment in Baiyu Mulberry Forest, and all workers The monthly salary has doubled, and now the entire white jade mulberry forest is booming, and the silk and satin produced are far better than before, and the profit has skyrocketed by more than [-]% in just over a month, which has caused all the senior members of the family to exclaim.”
“Even my uncle’s processing workshop business is getting better and better, and it can bring my uncle thousands of taels of silver every month. Even the eldest lady is a little jealous, saying that my uncle has found a cash cow for himself. “
“What about my uncle’s current strength?” Dongxue asked curiously.
“Strength?” Chunhua thought for a while, “According to what Qiu Shi said, my uncle broke through to the third level of inner refining a few days ago, and now he should not be far from the fourth level of inner refining.”
As soon as the words fell, both Xia Chan and Dong Xue couldn’t help but exclaimed.
“Young master is too powerful now, it’s okay to be amazing, even the cultivation has improved so fast, it seems that he is about to catch up with the eldest lady and the second lady.”
“Neng Wen Neng Wu is talking about my uncle. It seems that the eldest lady has a vision, and she saw the potential of my uncle early. According to the current speed, maybe my uncle will have the opportunity to break through the barrier and be promoted to the extraordinary realm. .”
……
Looking at Xia Chan and Dong Xue’s expressions of longing and anticipation, Chunhua smiled wryly and said, “Actually, what I envy most now is Guoguo. At that time, I thought Guoguo was so stupid that he was willing to follow my uncle to Chaoyun Farm. In a remote place, now it seems that we can’t even compare with the young lady, let alone Guoguo’s vision, do you know how good Guoguo is doing now?”
We also want
Chunhua’s words made Xia Chan and Dong Xue stunned for a moment, and they looked at her: “Is Guoguo doing well? Is it more comfortable to serve my uncle than to serve my eldest lady?”
“That’s natural.” Chunhua said without hesitation, causing Xia Chan and Dongxue to stare blankly: “Chunhua, you white-eyed wolf, be careful to let the eldest miss hear it, I have to teach you a lesson.”
Chunhua curled her lips: “I’m not lying. Do you know what kind of gift my uncle gave Guoguo at Guoguo’s coming-of-age ceremony a few days ago?”
“What gift?” Xia Chan and Dong Xue asked curiously, regardless of Chunhua’s betrayal.
“Three gifts!” Chunhua held up two fingers in a serious manner: “I will fulfill your wish, and my uncle will be my only wish from now on.”
Chunhua’s words made Xia Chan and Dong Xue curl up when they heard it, and couldn’t help but slap her: “Why do you speak like this? It sounds weird, and it makes people’s hairs stand on end. Did you say that?”
“I want to say it, but I don’t have this chance.” Chunhua said with a “hee hee” smile: “My uncle told Guoguo to fulfill your wish, and then he gave Guoguo three gifts. After receiving the gift, I said that my uncle is my only wish in the future.”
As soon as the words fell, Xia Chan and Dong Xue’s bright eyes widened: “I didn’t expect Guoguo to say such nasty words, and my uncle seems quite romantic.”
“Of course, you don’t know how good Guoguo is doing now under my uncle’s care.” Chunhua’s face was full of envy and hatred: “I really didn’t expect that my uncle is so generous, three gifts a Each one is better than the other, and the eldest lady’s gift is almost in the corner.”
“What gift is it?” Xia Chan and Dong Xue asked impatiently with curious faces.
Chunhua raised the first finger: “You have forgotten that Guoguo once told us that her wish in this life is to open a pastry shop, besides allowing her family to live a safe and good life. Enjoy a variety of pastries.”
“Did my uncle send her a lot of pastries?” Xia Chan asked a little foolishly.
Chunhua knocked on her little head: “Is sending cakes a fulfillment of a wish? How could my uncle be so stingy? He directly gave Guoguo a very good pastry shop called Guoguo. The pastry house is full of fruit. Guoguo likes to eat all kinds of pastries, and now Guoguo has to go there every day to wander around, and the life is so comfortable.”
“Wow… my uncle is really generous.” Dongxue’s saliva was about to flow out: “I also want such a pastry shop, when can my uncle give me one, that is the second gift that my uncle gave Guoguo Woolen cloth.”
Chunhua gave Dongxue another look: “You idiot, didn’t you just say that Guoguo’s greatest wish in this life is to open a pastry shop besides allowing his family to live a safe and good life. Guoguo’s wish, then the second wish is naturally to let Guoguo’s family live a safe and good life.”
“How to do this?” Dong Xue asked suspiciously.
Chunhua’s delicate little face showed yearning: “Naturally, I bought a three-entry and three-out mansion for the Guoguo family in Baiyu Town, where extraordinary monks sit in town.”
“Ah…” Both Xia Chan and Dong Xue couldn’t help exclaiming, they didn’t expect Song Ankang to be so generous: “Even in Baiyu Town, a big house with three entrances and three exits is worth a lot, my lord.” It’s too generous.”
Chunhua enviously said: “Right, I think so too, so Guoguo is really very happy. He has only been with my uncle for a long time, and he has received such a reward. My lifelong wish has been fulfilled by my uncle. No two wishes combined can compare to a third gift.”
“Oh, Chunhua, can you please hurry up, you always hesitate to talk, and you haven’t finished talking about the three gifts for a long time.” Dongxue couldn’t help it, and urged Chunhua.
Chunhua glanced at her: “I just like this, if you don’t like it, go away, anyway, it’s not for you, right Fanfan.”
“No.” Xia Chan didn’t give Chunhua any face either: “Hurry up and talk.”
Chunhua glanced at the two of them helplessly: “Okay, I don’t have any patience at all, so I’ll tell you guys, the third gift my uncle gave Guoguo is a set of jewelry, which is worth thousands of dollars, specially bought from Kyoto. Fuyun Jewelry is tailor-made for Guoguo, this set of jewelry can catch up with that pastry shop and mansion with three entrances and three exits, it is definitely a dream gift for every woman when she comes of age.”
“Wow…” This time Xia Chan and Dong Xue were really shocked. They also knew that Fuyun Jewelry is one of the best jewelry stores in Kyoto. All jewelry is tailor-made for the owner, and the cheapest Hundreds of taels of silver, jewelry worth a thousand gold, that is more than 10 taels of silver.
If placed on the earth, it is equivalent to more than 1 million sets of jewelry. With such a set of jewelry alone, there should not be many women on the entire earth who can resist its temptation.
Such a set of jewelry is definitely a good thing that can be used as a family heirloom.
What’s more, Qiushi is just one of Song Ankang’s housemaids, Song Ankang is willing to give such a good jewelry to Qiushi, one can imagine Song Ankang’s love for Qiushi.
“Really or not, Fuyun jewelry is very expensive. Is the set my uncle gave to Guoguo really worth a thousand dollars? Where did my uncle get so much silver taels?” Dongxue still couldn’t believe it.
Chunhua said categorically: “Of course it’s true, I even played with it myself. I heard that my uncle overdrawn the dividends for the next few months, and specially made it for Guoguo from Kyoto.”
“Fanfan, I want it too.” Dongxue’s bright eyes were also a little red, and she looked at Xia Chan next to her and said covetously: “At that time, the eldest lady really wanted me to go there, but I didn’t seize this opportunity. If you want to stay with the eldest lady, I regret it now.”
Xia Chan also bit her cherry lips lightly and said, “Me too, I really want to see Guoguo’s set of Fuyun jewelry with my own eyes.”
“Actually, apart from these three gifts, my uncle also gave Guoguo a gift before this. This gift is also very good. In my opinion, it is not inferior to Guoguo’s set of Fuyun jewelry.” Wanting to kill Xia Chan and Dong Xue with jealousy, Chunhua threw another bomb when she saw the two of them almost hugging each other and crying.
Xia Chan and Dong Xue couldn’t help but rushed towards Chunhua: “Xiangxiang, you bastard, is there anything you can’t finish in one breath? If you insist on jumping out bit by bit, we’ll be so anxious, hurry up!” Tell us what that gift is, and don’t be a fool, or we’ll teach you a lesson.”
Chapter 159
Facing Xia Chan and Dong Xue who were jumping in a hurry, Chunhua didn’t care about showing off, nodded hurriedly and said: “Okay, okay, I’ll tell you, I will never play tricks again, please let me go.”
“Let go, tell us what that gift is.” Dongxue stared at Chunhua viciously.
Chunhua hurriedly said: “It’s a book heart jade, which can write your mind.”
“Book heart jade doesn’t seem expensive, it’s usually only a few hundred taels of silver, how can it compare to a set of Fuyun jewelry.” Xia Chan asked suspiciously.
Chunhua said: “A book heart jade is naturally not expensive, but the two poems in it are not ordinary. Even though I don’t know much about the way of poetry, I can see that the two poems are absolutely extraordinary. It’s extremely heart-warming, and these two lines of poems were written by my uncle specially for Guoguo.”
This sentence not only made Xia Chan and Dong Xue full of curiosity, but also made Tang Mingyue, who was eavesdropping on the other wall, open her mouth in surprise. There is such a talent.
When passing by just now, she heard Chunhua say that Song Ankang is completely different from before. Out of curiosity, Tang Mingyue was ready to hear the difference. After all, Song Ankang’s reputation in the Tang family was not very good before.
Although during this period of time, people occasionally heard that Song Ankang had changed a lot, but Tang Mingyue didn’t know exactly what happened. Now that he has encountered it, let’s listen to it.
Just listening, Tang Mingyue was also a little surprised. She didn’t expect that Song Ankang had changed so much now, and his behavior was not as pedantic as before, and he became more interested in treating the women around him.
Unknowingly, they heard the last song, and were shocked to find that Song Ankang, their son-in-law who was not favored by them, actually had the talent to compose poetry.
Does the change need to be so big? Is this true?
Xia Chan and Dong Xue also became curious: “What kind of poems, can my uncle also compose poems? Is there Second Miss in his composition?”
“I don’t know, but it’s probably not as good as the second lady’s. After all, my uncle seems to have written those two lines of poems, but the second lady has written a lot of poems over the years, and some of them have been highly praised by the poets.” Chun Hua is a little unsure about the authenticity, after all, she really doesn’t know much about the way of poetry: “You should listen to the poems, these two poems are about getting wider and wider, and you will not regret it, and you will be haggard for Yixiao.”
The belt is getting wider and I don’t regret it at the end, I am haggard because of Yixiao!
Although Xia Chan and Dong Xue didn’t know much about the way of poetry, they could also hear that these two poems were unusual, and they gave people a strong sense of sincerity.
Xia Chan’s face was full of surprise: “I didn’t expect my uncle to write such a good poem. It’s really beautiful and sincere. Just from these two lines of poems, I can feel my uncle’s love for Guoguo.”
“Guoguo’s luck is too good, to be pampered by my uncle.” Dongxue also opened her mouth in envy: “Even the second young lady can’t compose such a good poem easily.”
Tang Mingyue, who was hiding behind the wall, was already ashamed. When Chunhua just heard Chunhua say that Song Ankang’s poetry was not as good as hers, Tang Mingyue felt the same way to be honest.
But at this moment, with the appearance of these two lines of poems, Tang Mingyue was not only ashamed of his appearance, but also flushed with embarrassment.
It’s no longer a question of whether she can easily compose these two lines of poetry, but whether she can’t compose them at all. Even if she is given another ten or twenty years, Tang Mingyue is not sure that she will be able to compose such two lines. poetry.
How to describe these two lines of poems? In Tang Mingyue’s opinion, they can be called extremely wonderful, or extremely good. They can be said to be one of the best confession lines in Xia Kingdom since ancient times, and even more so, one of the most affectionate lines. one.
Not to mention that she wrote it, Tang Mingyue didn’t even feel that she was even qualified to appreciate it. The three servant girls really praised her so much that they thought she could write such a poem.
That good-for-nothing son-in-law of the Tang family, no, it should be their brother-in-law, can he really write such good poems?
“Did my uncle write these two lines for Guoguo himself?”
When Tang Mingyue was full of doubts, Dongxue asked her the doubts in her heart.
Chunhua nodded and said: “Of course my uncle did it. I have already confirmed this matter to Guoguo. No one else wrote it for me. It is my uncle’s heart for Guoguo.”
“Have you forgotten that before my uncle joined our Tang family, in addition to being known as the most filial son in Kyoto, he was also famous for his high literary talent.” Xia Chan reminded: “But at that time, my uncle’s filial piety overshadowed his literary talent.” In terms of ability, in fact, the uncle should be higher than the second lady in terms of literary strategy and theory, so it is not surprising that he can write such poems.”
Dongxue suddenly said, “Yes, yes, before my uncle joined our Tang family, I secretly asked the neighbors around me about my uncle. Many people said that my uncle is talented in literature, geography, policy theory, medicine, history… everything is proficient. , if it wasn’t for his poor talent in cultivation, he might even have a future as a prime minister.”
“I just didn’t expect my uncle to be very good at poetry, but is there only two lines in this poem? Is there anything else?”
“Well…” Chunhua hesitated for a moment and said, “There should be nothing else, it seems to be just these two sentences.”
Xia Chan said regretfully, “It’s just two sentences, but if it’s a whole poem, I don’t know how great it would be.”
“It’s a pity that my uncle often retreats and practice hard during this period, and he often doesn’t see anyone for ten days and a half months. Otherwise, I will ask my uncle to see if he can finish this poem.” Chunhua sighed: “Wait until After my aunt has completed this poem, I can take it to the second lady for pointers, and see what the second lady thinks.”
On the other side of the partition wall, Tang Mingyue blushed when she heard it. How could she have the qualifications to give advice on such a good poem, and she couldn’t even find faults. The three little maids really think highly of her.
But I really didn’t expect that in such a short period of time, the little capital not only produced a master of poetry such as Zhao Xiyu, but also his brother-in-law Song Ankang, who seemed to be an expert in poetry…
Thinking of this, Tang Mingyue suddenly realized something, her delicate little face suddenly changed, no, something was wrong, some images came to her mind one after another, Tang Mingyue couldn’t help but slowly opened her mouth wide.
The flamboyant Zhao Xiyu of Shengyun Tower refused to point them out many times, and Zhao Xiyu’s face that looked a little familiar, the same amazing poetry, and her brother-in-law Song Ankang who often retreated and practiced hard during this period…
Chapter 160 Tang Mingyue Plays Lurking
When many things are connected in series, a big doubt arises!
Without thinking too much about it, Tang Mingyue decided to do something just after thinking about it for a while, and soon he sent out a maid to the Baiyu Sanglin, and at the same time, he sent another guard to Shengyun Tower .
A few hours later, the maid and the guard returned one after another and brought a piece of information.
In this document, it is recorded in detail which days Song Ankang of Baiyu Mulberry Forest has retreated and practiced hard for several months, as well as the days when Zhao Xiyu, the flamboyant son of Shengyunlou, appeared.
After checking in this way, Tang Mingyue has basically confirmed an answer in her heart, that is, Song Ankang is Zhao Xiyu, the playboy, and Zhao Xiyu, the playboy, is Song Ankang.
The reason why it looked familiar at the time was because Tang Mingyue had met Song Ankang before that, and the disguise of the playboy Zhao Xiyu was not very good. very similar.
Also, the reason why Zhao Xiyu, the flamboyant boy, rejected their friendship was obviously because he recognized them. After all, the fake names she and her younger sister forged were too careless, even a fool would be able to spot the anomaly.
