Chapter 51
It was a sunny day in late autumn, and the morning light was strong, shining on the vast crisscrossing streets of Lin'an Prefecture, as well as the gorgeous or simple roofs of thousands of homes.
The Tang Mansion's ancestral hall itself was large and dark. Today it was more like being forgotten by the sun, a bit dimmer than usual.
Tang You knelt in front of the memorial tablets of his ancestors, his whole body trembling from the whipping of his mother, Fu, with cold sweat on his back and a look of pain between his brows.
Fu was already exhausted, but the anger in her heart was not gone. After a few more blows, she looked at Tang You and said, "Can you two correct this mistake?"
Tang You still lowered his head, gritting his teeth to digest the pain in his back, and said reluctantly: "I am the fault of one person, and I am willing to accept any punishment."
As soon as he heard these words, Fu's anger, which had not subsided, was raised a little more, and she hit Tang You on the arm with a whip, "Are you the only one who is at fault? Who are you fooling? Unfilial son!" Are you deliberately trying to make your mother angry? Huh?"
Tang You had no choice but to shut up and say nothing.
After a while, mother and son both calmed down a little. Mrs. Fu stepped forward and pointed at the tablets, and said to Tang You: "Look up and look carefully! Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
Tang You clenched his fingers tightly, not daring to raise his head.
Listen to Fu continue: "The Tang family lived in poverty in the past, and your great-great-grandfather studied hard to become an official, and he reached the rank of Taifu. Your grandfather and father did not bother to study in the slightest. They came to you alone, and they did not think about making progress all day long. Ignorant and ignorant!"
This statement is naturally biased.
Tang You is a well-known talented man in Lin'an Prefecture, with a wealth of knowledge, but now he has not joined the officialdom, and no matter how talented he is, he has not been able to convince others. Tang You cannot use this to argue in front of his mother, so he just Continue to endure it.
"The imperial court was corrupt, the Zhou Dynasty was invaded repeatedly, you and I left our homes and were displaced, and it was not easy to find a little stability today. Have you forgotten all these things?" Fu asked Tang You.
"I dare not forget." Tang You replied.
"Since I have not forgotten, from today on, you will no longer be so unwilling to make progress!"
After hearing this, Feng seemed to have plans to expose the matter. Tang You quickly responded: "I will obey my mother's teachings."
But Mrs. Fu changed the subject and said calmly: "Fortunately, when we built this house, we had some free time. The courtyard to the east is still empty, right next to your study. You will move there to rest from today on. Study hard and practice hard, don’t waste time anymore.”
Tang You raised his head in disbelief and said in disbelief: "Mom, do you want me and A Yuan to live in separate rooms?"
Mrs. Fu didn't realize that this was a strange matter and arranged: "You can go back to the main courtyard every five days."
He had never heard such a fantasy before, and Tang You immediately retorted: "I'm sorry to have to obey."
Fu sarcastically said, "Don't forget why you got this whipping today! You only know about having fun and nothing else all day long. Do you still want a future?"
"I reunited with my friends yesterday. I drank too much and fell asleep due to fatigue. I will never make such a mistake again in the future." Tang You excused himself.He couldn't pin any reason on Lu Yuan.
Her son is now an adult and has his own social interactions. Mr. Fu knows and has met Qin Yuehuai and Meng Changqing, both of whom are capable people.And when he came to say hello yesterday, Tang You specifically said that he was going out to see Qin Yuehuai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Fu didn't refute Tang You's excuse for a while.
Tang You privately thought that his mother believed him, and also felt that what Fu said was just out of anger and definitely did not really want him to separate from Lu Yuan.
Then he said: "Mom, A-Yuan and I have just been married. If word gets out that we separated without any reason, our family's face will be lost. My son has already realized his mistake. He will study hard and study hard in the future."
As everyone knows, the more he protects Lu Yuan, the more disgusted his mother Fu will be with the loving relationship between him and his wife.
Did he think she didn't know what happened last night?Don't you know that there is something embarrassing happening outside the door?
At this moment, he can still talk about face!
If he hadn't been too obsessed with the love between his children, how could he have forgotten this once-a-month cultural investigation that had never happened since the couple fled south?
Fu's anger, which had just calmed down, rekindled, and her eyes suddenly changed, but she was beaten. At this moment, she had no strength to give another round of whipping, so she decided in a cold voice: "I will let Aunt Li get whipped as soon as possible." Clean up the house."
"Mother..." Mrs. Fu said resolutely: "If you have made progress in half a year, we will say anything else then."

When the female envoy of the Tang family took Shen Yanhan to Lu Yuan not far outside the ancestral hall, Lu Yuan was wringing the handkerchief in her hands with a sad look on her face.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yanhan asked directly: "Why is Sister Lu looking like this? But what difficulties have you encountered?"
Once they met, it was impossible for Lu Yuan to tell her directly in front of the young lady who came to visit her for the first time that she was very worried that her husband-in-law had been punished by her mother-in-law to various extents.
"No...it's okay." Lu Yuan forced a smile and said, "Sister Shen came so early. Thank you for your hard work. Follow me into the house and have a rest."
Shen Yanhan naturally saw the reluctance in her smile, but she just nodded in agreement as Lu Yuan wanted to take her wherever he wanted.
After walking to the house and sitting down, Shen Yanhan didn't take any detours, opened the door and entered the mountain, spread out his drawings, and introduced the design of his clothes.
"These are two sets of clothes painted according to the colors and styles that Sister Lu said about Xi. This painting was sketched by Qilang. I only painted most of the colors. I thought it would be where I can see it first, so I gave it to Lu first. Sister, take a look at this first draft. After we discuss it today, we will go back and draw the second version..."
During the chat yesterday, they talked about Shen Yanhan's current way of making a living. Knowing that Shen Yanhan had sold a set of gorgeous clothes, the kind-hearted Lu Yuan asked if he could also make clothes for the couple.
With the help of such a celebrity as Lu Yuan, Shen Yanhan was naturally very willing. At this moment, with a grateful heart, she focused on business and talked endlessly to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan had something on his mind, which was not surprising, but he could hear and see it absent-mindedly.
She looked outside the door frequently. When Shen Yanhan pointed out a few details to her, she was silent for a few breaths before recovering from her words.
Her state was very different from yesterday, and recalling the strange looks in the servants' eyes when she entered the Tang Mansion just now, Shen Yanhan felt something was wrong, so she hastily finished her next words and said goodbye.
Lu Yuan was in a trance and sent her out the door.
After Shen Yanhan came out of Tang's house, she shuddered when the cool early autumn wind blew, and at the same time, there was a "gurgling" sound in her stomach.
The female envoy who accompanied her out from Lanyuan felt a little embarrassed and asked her, "Madam, do you want to go to the teahouse to have breakfast first?"
"No." Shen Yanhan decisively refused.
Yesterday at Tingfeng Tea House, she paid the final bill.
Originally, in her plan, at most she, Qin Yuehuai and Zheng Shiban had dinner together, but she didn't expect that Lu Yuan and Tang You also came later, and even Zheng Yuting and the Zhang family's wife.
A large group of people spent a lot of money even on breakfast. At this moment, she didn't record the money. Shen Yanhan just wanted to save money.
"Then... let's go rent a bullock cart at the end of the alley and go back." The female envoy said again.
"No!" Shen Yanhan refused again, "I'm a little cold, let's walk back."
After traveling more than half of the city, when she returned to Lanyuan, Shen Yanhan felt that smoke was coming out of her feet and smoke was coming out of her throat.
She simply went straight to the well in the yard, scooped up water with a gourd and poured it into her throat.
After drinking a small scoop, she still didn't have enough. She bent down and took another scoop, and continued to drink.
When she drank enough, she let out a pleasant "burp" in her throat, straightened her back, and when she raised her eyes, she found a strange man not far away who was looking straight at her.
Colorful Desert, Paper Helicopter, Yanran Yihu, This Time of Year, Liebe, Junzhilan...etc., I have also seen the tickets for these treasures.Sometimes I don’t thank you fully, but I know your support, thank you very much!
