Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 118 Is there any real good man?

Tang Heng stroked his mustache puzzledly: "I'm from Qingxu, why did the girl say that? Do I look like a Jiangnan person?"

"No, I just heard that Jiangnan people like to eat duck very much. There is no way that Jiangnan people can't do it, such as wine stuffed duck, salted duck, roast duck, steamed and stewed." Zhao Xi explained with a smile, "Look at Mr. Tang. Speaking of the wild duck dish, I liked it so much that I mistakenly thought you were from Jiangnan."

Tang Heng smiled and said: "Miss guessed half right, my wife is from Jiangnan. She only has two hobbies in her life, one is playing the piano, and the other is eating duck. I don't know anything about this melody, so I won't talk about it. She especially loves eating duck." I like to eat it stewed, put fresh mushrooms and crispy bamboo shoots just picked in the mountains, and add a spoonful of rum, oh, it's really fresh and fragrant!"

Zhao Xiwei was overjoyed, and keenly caught a favorable piece of information, and immediately asked again: "Then let me guess again, Mrs. Zun is from Jianye?"

Tang Heng was astonished: "How did Miss Zhao guess it?"

Zhao Xi smiled and said: "My third aunt also said the same thing. When stewing the duck, put mushrooms, crispy bamboo shoots and sweet wine. She is from Jianye, and she said that only Jianye has this way of eating."

Tang Heng's gaze was fixed: "Third Aunt? Is that Mrs. Sun?"

"Yes." Zhao Xi smiled lightly, and said in a calm manner: "Mrs. Zun likes to play the piano, and it happens that my third aunt is also a piano fanatic. She even went to some alley a few days ago...Yangliu alley ? Catkin alley? Willow leaf alley?"

This came to Tang Heng's job, and he couldn't help correcting him immediately: "Willow Alley."

She suddenly realized: "Yes, it is Liushu Alley."

Tang Heng frowned: "The people living in Liushu Hutong are Jiaofang actors?"

Zhao Xiwei pretended to be ignorant, and said "Ah": "My third aunt, what can I say about her? She is a qin addict, and she can't walk when she sees a good qin. Do you know that, my lord?" ? She ran to Liushu Alley to see the luthier for a guqin, in order to buy the violin in her hand."

Tang Heng sat up straight, his face gradually became serious: "You said, Mrs. Sun went to Liushu Alley just to buy a piano?"

"That's right." Zhao Xi sighed slightly, "That luthier was also very stubborn. At first my third aunt sent a maid to go, but the luthier refused, so she had no choice but to come to the door herself."

Tang Heng fell into deep thought.

Zhao Xi glanced at him slightly, knowing that he had already impressed him seven or eight points, and then added: "You may not know, that luthier is also a hard-working person, I heard that he offended the son of the Wang family last time, and was made full The body is injured, and now he is lying on the bed and hangs himself with medicine. If it is not for saving his life, Duan Duan must be reluctant to sell his beloved Guqin."

"That Qin girl is called Linglong, isn't she?!" Cui Yutang put down his wine glass heavily.

Zhao Xi shook his head slightly: "I'm not sure. At that time, my third aunt went to buy that guqin, and she felt very sympathetic when she heard what happened to her, so she mentioned it to me when she came back."

Pei Linfeng smiled wryly and nodded: "It's Linglong. I happened to be there that day." He took a breath, "You know, I used to be friends with Captain Xiyuan, and they usually like to go to the band to listen to ditties , this is no surprise at all.”

"Ah?" Cui Yurong propped his chin and asked with wide eyes: "Cousin, do you guys often go to the music workshop?"

"Ahem——" Cui Yutang took a sip of his wine, "Rong'er, this is a matter between men, it's not something you, a little girl, should ask."

"I just asked what's the matter?" Cui Yurong gave him an angry look, and said fiercely, "Why are you not allowed to ask me? Is it the same for you? Let me tell you, if you dare to go to such a place, I'll tell my parents to let them use family law against you!"

"My little ancestor!" Cui Yutang repeatedly admitted his mistake, "Brother, you don't know who I am? Can I go to that kind of place?"

Cui Yurong looked at him suspiciously.

Cui Yutang hurriedly patted his chest to promise: "Sister, don't you trust me, brother, and our Qinghe Cui family tradition?"

"Hmph." Cui Yurong snorted and raised her small mouth: "Who knows what you did with those stinky men before."

"I was wronged, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Cui Yutang repeatedly denied.

Pei Linfeng coughed and interrupted the dispute between the siblings: "Cousin Yurong, it's not what you think."

He explained in a warm voice, "Yutang and I were originally in the Huben Army. Those people are all rough men of martial arts background. They can't play with the literati and don't like it. If we just put on airs blindly, it would seem that we are The two families look down on people, so sometimes they have to attend some unavoidable gatherings."

Cui Yurong seemed to understand but half understood: "What kind of party can't be avoided?"

Pei Linfeng looked a little embarrassed, but it was inconvenient to speak too clearly to a woman in the boudoir, so he said in one sentence: "Anyway, it's just some entertainment between colleagues."

Cui Yurong let out an "oh", and said to herself: "This world is really chaotic, is there really a good man?"

However, Zhao Xiwei suddenly remembered Li Xuanye's "unexplained banquet".

It turned out that she couldn't figure out why he was so upset when she just went to have a meal with Cui Yutang and Pei Linfeng.

Now I suddenly understood, probably because Cui and Pei often participated in those gatherings, so Li Xuanye thought that these two people were not good people?
Just as she was thinking, Tang Heng's deep voice brought her back to reality: "So, things are connected like this. The violinist is called Linglong. After being injured by Wang Fan, she needed medical treatment, so she sold the guqin in her hand. And Mrs. Sun of the Zhao Mansion is a piano fanatic, and went to Liushu Alley to buy the Guqin in Linglong's hands. Unexpectedly, she was targeted by people with ulterior motives, and soon there were rumors that she and Linglong were actually good sisters. If so, then It proved that there was a problem with Sun's household registration, so the Queen Mother ordered this official to arrest him."

"Yes." Zhao Xiwei slightly nodded, "Exactly, Master Tang."

Tang Heng's complexion gradually turned cold.

Cui Yutang gritted his teeth with hatred: "This Wang Fan is simply a beast. The last time my mother and aunt went to the Lianhua Temple to offer incense, he indulged the vicious dog and almost hurt all the female relatives. It's a pity that I was not there these two times! Otherwise I will beat him to death, and drag him to His Majesty to ask for an explanation!"

Cui Yurong was also very angry: "Yes, we were all frightened at that time. I was holding a pair of kingfishers in my hand, but I was so scared that I threw them out! They were torn apart by that wolfhound! Really, two Brother, you didn’t see that scene, how terrible it is! Fortunately, Miss Zhao stepped forward at that time!”
