Chapter 15 Finally Arrive at Yuzhou City
The Tang Sect is a family-style sect, divided into two parts. One is the Tang Sect, which is located in the bustling city of Yuzhou City, and makes a living by raising silkworms and weaving brocades; the other is the Tang Sect, which is hidden in the mountains and old forests and is known for its hidden weapons and poisons.
After all, in the face of dangerous and unpredictable worlds, eggs cannot be put in one basket. This is also the brilliance of the ancestors of the Tang family.
Shu brocade is exquisite, delicate and colorful. It is said that "every inch of brocade is worth gold", among which the Tang family is the best.
Tang Xuanxuan went to Yaowang Valley to study art at the age of eight, and came down the mountain after completing her ten-year term. As her hometown got closer and closer, Tang Xuanxuan kept moving the curtains with her hands and looking at the scenery outside the carriage.
"Stop." Tang Xuanxuan saw a small pavilion, still standing on the roadside.
"Hush!"
Pang Junde didn't know why, but he still tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.
Before Tang Xuanxuan could wait for the carriage to stop, she jumped off the carriage and ran towards the Ten Mile Pavilion.
Pang Junde comforted the horse, and Shen Xingliu walked towards Tang Xuanxuan doubtfully. At this moment, she was clasping her hands in front of the pavilion, praying for something.
"Do you want to hear my story?" Tang Xuanxuan prayed for a while, then turned to Shen Xingliu and said.
"OK."
Shen Xingliu smiled and went over, took her hand and sat in the small pavilion. His intuition told him that this story was related to her life experience.
Tang Xuanxuan looked at him with her hands on her chin, and said leisurely: "Since I was born, my mother has suffered from the disease. It was not until the day when I was eight years old that my eldest brother was expelled from the Tang clan."
Shen Xingliu listened to her story quietly, but still asked in confusion: "Why were you expelled from the Tang Clan? Is it related to your mother?"
"Well, my family invited countless famous doctors to treat my mother, but they all had no cure." Tang Xuanxuan nodded, her thoughts completely immersed in the past, and said: "At that time, corpses were constantly being stolen in the city. With the development of
Later, people began to disappear.”
"Two years passed like this. One day, my father received a tip and a group of elders discovered that my eldest brother was conducting some kind of experiment in a secret room." Tang Xuanxuan said with a bitter look on her face.
Shen Xingliu gently took Tang Xuanxuan in his arms and let her lean on his shoulder.
"Xingliu, tell me, will you leave me like my eldest brother and mother?" Tang Xuanxuan sobbed.
Tang Xuanxuan had so much sorrow hidden under her small body. She usually seemed carefree, but she was always afraid that the people she knew would disappear from her eyes, especially him.
After hearing Tang Xuanxuan's question, Shen Xingliu said softly: "I will always be by Tang Xuanxuan's side and will never leave her until death."
"Then will you love me forever?" Tang Xuanxuan looked up at him and said.
Shen Xingliu smiled evilly and said: "No, I will love you for three lives and three lifetimes."
When Tang Xuanxuan saw his evil smile, her face suddenly turned red. She broke away from his arms and said shyly, "Oh, who wants you to love me forever?"
However, her little eyes still betrayed her little thoughts, and she saw him looking at her with a wicked smile.
"Bah, you are so glib." Although Tang Xuanxuan pouted at him, she was still full of joy.
Although Pang Junde was far away and couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, when he saw their behavior, he couldn't help but think of Zhu Wanjun, and he stopped looking at the two of them.
The two of them took turns to say a lot of love words, just as they were about to leave.
Suddenly, a group of masked men rushed out, led by a little lolita with two ponytails.
"I opened this mountain and planted this tree. I want to leave money to buy the road from now on." The little Loli said in what she thought was a vicious tone.
Shen Xingliu was stunned. What's going on? Why is there still a Jie Dao outside Yuzhou City?
"Xuanxuan, wait a moment, I'll take care of these little thieves."
When Shen Xingliu saw Tang Xuanxuan want to get up, what kind of thing would you do in such a trivial matter? He pushed her down on the seat, picked up the black knife and walked out of the pavilion.
"Little girl, go home quickly, or else my brother will beat you to tears." Shen Xingliu said, holding the black knife in hand to scare the little Lolita.
The little Loli wrinkled her cute little nose and said, "Humph, my aunt will give you some color today. Also, what is your relationship with that woman?"
Shen Xingliu pointed to himself and then to Tang Xuanxuan on the seat, indicating that you are talking about us?
The little Loli rolled her eyes and said angrily: "It's just you idiot and that woman."
"Hey? Do I still need to tell you that she is my woman?" Shen Xingliu murmured to himself.
"Ah? What, what did you say?" The little Loli suddenly lost her composure and jumped to her feet and shouted, as if she had heard a scary story.
A group of masked people also stared with big eyes and scratched their heads, looking very funny.
Shen Xingliu tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you surprised? Does it have anything to do with you?"
Just when she was about to say something, the little Loli woke up from her surprise.
"Third sister, don't laugh," little Loli looked past Shen Xingliu, looked at Tang Xuanxuan and said, "He actually said that you are his woman, is that true?"
"Third, third sister?" Shen Xingliu would be too stupid if he didn't know who the masked little Loli was in front of him.
Shen Xingliu looked at Tang Xuanxuan in surprise, who was laughing in her seat. This little loli appeared with the same posture as a robbery. The key point is that the buddy really believed it. She won't be a "bad guy" now, right?
Tang Xuanxuan wiped the tears from her eyes and rolled her eyes at him.
"Little sister, please stop teasing him." Tang Xuanxuan straightened her appearance and stood up.
"Third sister!"
Tang Xiaomei pulled off the gauze scarf and pounced on Tang Xuanxuan like a bird.
"Third sister, you don't have to go back when you go down the mountain this time?" Tang Xiaomei said coquettishly while holding Tang Xuanxuan.
"Yes, sister has come down the mountain after studying," Tang Xuanxuan took Miss Tang's hand and said, "You haven't gone to the mountain to see me for three or four years, I'm already so tall!"
Tang Xiaomei turned around and said, "Third sister, do you think I look good?"
"Good-looking, good-looking." Tang Xuanxuan said, looking at the elf in front of her with crooked eyebrows.
Pang Junde originally wanted to watch a good show, until the scene just now appeared, he covered his mouth and snickered, Brother Shen, it seems that your life will be difficult with such a weird sister-in-law.
The two sisters laughed playfully, glancing at Shen Xingliu from time to time, and then secretly laughing.
Shen Xingliu only felt burrs all over his body, always feeling like a handful of green vegetables.
"My lord, Tang Qiubai, don't blame me, brother, the Fourth Miss is indeed a bit naughty." Tang Qiubai stepped forward and cupped his hands.
The masked man pulled off the mask that he felt uncomfortable with, and Shen Xingliu greeted them one by one and apologized.
Shen Xingliu quietly said to Tang Qiubai, "Have you, Fourth Miss, always been like this?"
When Tang Xiaomei heard that someone was still trying to set her up, she came over angrily and said, "I don't know what you are good at, but my sister is interested in you."
"Hehe, luck, good luck." Shen Xingliu said with a smile on his face.
"Welcome Miss!"
Tang Qiubai said to Tang Xuanxuan, and all the guards also said in unison.
Tang Xuanxuan nodded and pulled Tang Xiaomei towards the carriage. The latter made a face at Shen Xingliu.
After the two girls got on the carriage, Shen Xingliu quickly stepped forward to drive, threw the black knife to Pang Junde, and punched the latter twice before Pang Junde stopped smiling.
Pang Junde followed the carriage and had a lively chat with Tang Qiubai and the guards.
Tang Xuanxuan heard the movement outside the carriage, which turned from quiet to noisy. The familiar local accent made her feel more at home.
"Yao Yao, why are you in Shiliting? Did my father or my second uncle ask you to pick me up?" Tang Xuanxuan looked at Tang Yaoyao who had been silent since getting in the car.
Tang Yaoyao pinched her fingers and was silent for a while, then said: "Third sister, please advise my uncle and my father. They have been having a lot of trouble recently."
Tang Xuanxuan's expression changed and she quickly asked, "What happened?"
"It seems that my father's Shu brocade shop robbed the uncle's shop of business, and then the clerk from the uncle's shop led people to knock on the door. I heard that there was blood."
Tang Yaoyao lowered her head and frowned. It was because she couldn't stand the atmosphere at home and heard that the third sister was coming down the mountain, so she sent someone to keep an eye on Shiliting.
"It's not because of a business deal," Tang Xuanxuan said doubtfully.
"But that's the royal family's business." Tang Yaoyao hurriedly raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Then this matter is either big or small," Tang Xuanxuan shook her head helplessly and said, "By the way, where is the second brother? His words are usually very effective."
"My brother had a falling out with his family two years ago," Tang Yaoyao threw herself into her arms and cried, "He went to Qionghua Academy and didn't come back for two years."
Tang Xuanxuan gently stroked her back. Tang Deze, the second son of the Tang family, had been obsessed with Confucian culture since he was a child. He had no intention of engaging in political affairs and business. Although he was also talented in business, he lacked interest.
"If you don't cry, little sister, I will go to Qionghua Academy to scold him, and then tell him to come back and apologize to you." Tang Xuanxuan said with a fierce look on her face.
When Tang Yaoyao heard that she could still see Tang Deze, she wiped away her tears with surprise and sobbed: "Seriously, can my brother come back?"
"Hmph, of course it's true. If he doesn't come back, I'll beat him!" Tang Xuanxuan wrinkled her nose and shook her fist, looking very powerful.
"call"
Shen Xingliu stopped the carriage, and the two women thought in confusion that they had arrived at the Tang family so soon?
"Hey, the candied haws seller, how much do two skewers cost?" Shen Xingliu called the vendor to come forward and talk.
When the hawker heard this, he immediately ran over with a haystack on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Sir, a string of three cents is worth. If you pay two strings, you can give me five cents."
"Now, take the five coins and give me two skewers." Shen Xingliu listened to the conversation in the carriage and was not in the mood to discuss the price anymore.
They were wondering when they suddenly heard two knocking sounds, and Shen Xingliu's big head and two bunches of candied haws came in.
Chapter completed!
