No concubine, black-bellied princess

214 The Dust Settles 5
The occasional sound of dogs barking and people coming from the street.

Compared with the previous time in the palace, it seemed to be noisier, but somehow it made her feel sleepy and peaceful.

Tang Qianqian turned over on the bed, and inside her big belly, which was about to give birth in a month, that disobedient little guy started to toss again.

Across the belly, one slap hit her palm, and it seemed to hit her heart.

A smile could not help but appear on the corner of Tang Qianqian's lips.

Compared with the palace before, everything here is obviously too shabby, but she feels very comfortable and comfortable.

After all, this was the day she had hoped for the most.

The moonlight faintly

Tang Qianqian closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the dream, the mist filled the air, completely enveloping her.

Ups and downs, but it is a gentleness that makes people indulge and don't want to wake up.

It's just that there seems to be some vague voice coming from the ear.

"Eat more..."

"Fu'er also needs to be stronger..."

"good……"

Another day of sunshine.

Although it was getting colder day by day, the bright sun still drove away a lot of coldness.

People come and go on the street, and it is still as lively as before.

In an alley in a corner of Xingyang County.

The dark door was closed tightly, and faint laughter came from within.

In the inner house, there was laughter and laughter in the bright room.

Tang Qianqian sat on the rug, with Tao Hong sitting in one corner, and two little girls who were only about 13 years old.

The four people held cards marked with red hearts, red squares, black triangles, and black hearts, and were having a great time playing.

"Win, win!"

A little girl jumped up from the stool happily, almost dancing.

It's just that before the sound of joy fell, the door was opened, and the old lady from yesterday had already walked over, glaring at the little girl, "Keep the noise down!"

The little girl stuck out her tongue and calmed down.

Tang Qian covered her smile, "It's just a child, Mother Hu is too strict!"

Mother Hu blushed halfway, and hurriedly waved her hands, "Ma'am, I don't dislike it, no matter where it is, no one treats slaves like this! They teach literacy, and they teach manners..."

Hu Nanny seemed to want to say something more, but her eyes were already reddened.Fearing that Tang Qianqian and others would see it, she quickly wiped it away and brought over the refreshments she was carrying.

"Madam, taste it first. If there is something that doesn't suit your taste, the servants will change it... You guys, don't make Madam angry!"

After a few more instructions, Madam Hu finally withdrew.

The two little girls also recovered from the joy just now, they are very well-behaved, but they are children after all, seeing the cakes coming, their eyes can't move immediately.

Tang Qianqian could see clearly, picked up two pieces of pastries and gave them to them.
"Eat it!"

The two little girls stared at the cakes, but shook their heads in agreement, "Slaves don't want to eat it!"

Tang Qianqian frowned, "Why, you don't listen?"

The deliberately protracted voice made the two girls wonder if the lady in front of them was blaming her or something. They pinched the corners of their clothes with their small hands, feeling a little nervous.

Tao Hong next to her laughed, "What are you doing in a daze, this is given by Madam!"

One word woke up the two little girls.Jun Yixi took it and bowed to Tang Qianqian, "Thank you Ma'am!"

"Okay, let's eat!"

Tang Qianqian caressed the two little girls, signaling them to eat here.

Otherwise, if Madam Hu knew about it, she wouldn't know what to say.

The two girls were sitting on a stool at one side, eating face to face.

The sunlight from outside came in through the window, like tulle covering the bodies of the two little girls, making one unable to take one's eyes away from Alone.

Looking at Tang Qianqian, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Looking at it, Tao Hong couldn't help but sigh, "...It's also fortunate that they met Miss!"

Sighing in a low voice, Tang Qianqian was also a little dazed.

After she and Shao Cong parted ways in Rongyang County that day, she invited Mr. Hu to drive for a long journey.

On the way, her father was buried in a big funeral, and she was far away, so she could only worship like this, but before arriving in Rongyang, Mr. Hu's family rushed over, saying that his family was involved in a lawsuit, and the five members of the family might die. accident.

But in such a situation, Mr. Hu still insisted on sending them off, not for other reasons, but just to keep his word.

As early as when she chose this old man Hu, she knew that he was sincere, but she didn't know that it was so.

Feeling pity in her heart, she inquired about Mr. Hu's lawsuit, and knew about the situation, so she gave Mr. Hu a hundred taels of silver notes.Old man Hu refused to accept it, and in the end she could only say that she would pick it up later.

Hu Laozhang left thankfully, but what she did was not pure... At that time, she gave Shaocong that important object to be buried with her father, so she really had such a heart. Second, it is to see someone's reaction.

At the Tang Family Ancestral Hall that day, she suddenly figured out a lot of things, but at that time it was just a guess, but later, it was confirmed.

If he recognized something like that, he would definitely ask Shao Cong if he had seen her.And how could Shaocong refute him!
If he hadn't come to look for her, then she would have left frankly.And if he sent someone to look for it... It doesn't matter whether old man Hu will tell the truth, as long as the bank note she gave, old man Hu will not be embarrassed.

As a result, she only stayed at the inn for three days before she saw his person.

At that time, the surge in my heart was like a rolling wave!
...Because what she gave Shaocong was nothing else but the "magic soldier" soldier talisman her father had given her back then.

If he didn't know the inside story, how could he recognize this soldier talisman?

And that son of Lu Shangshu's family, if he hadn't gotten some secret information from somewhere, how would he know that the "magic weapon" is in his father's hands?

What's more, in the prince's residence, how could Tang Yanran have a relationship with the Lu family?

All of this, when she left, she had already imagined all kinds of possibilities.

It's just that after seeing it with my own eyes, I still can't believe it.

how come--

how come--

Even if there is no empirical evidence, even if it is nothing, she is making a lot of trouble out of nothing.

He must know about the soldier talisman!

Or this is still not what she guessed, but so what?
...No matter what the result is, she is unwilling to go back like this.

So, she was right to leave!
So, she simply used her brain and dragged on for seven or eight days, at the moment when those shadow guards thought they had found her, they disappeared.

But in fact, she turned back to Xingyang County.

The most dangerous place is also the safest place!
Since she was found in Xingyang, she will stay here.

It's just that maybe it's fate, when she came back from a disguised appearance, she saw old man Hu's family out on the street.

She didn't want to pay attention at first, and even wanted to avoid it, but in the end she couldn't help but help.

Mr. Hu, who was too honest, used his only real estate as a guarantee for his neighbor. As a result, the neighbor borrowed usury for a long time and was unable to repay it. The family committed suicide and Mr. Hu became the last repayer.Mr. Hu had no choice but to sell the carriages and horses he depended on for a living, and lived on the streets with his wife and two granddaughters.But even so, those loan sharks still refused to let the family of four go, making things difficult and insulting, and in the end, they sold the two granddaughters in broad daylight.

Tang Qianqian stopped her, and she asked Mr. Hu why he didn't move the hundred taels of silver notes.Hu Laozhang said, this is not his, he can't take it.

An old man, in a catastrophe, still stubbornly sticks to that seemingly ridiculous belief. Even if he is stupid, how many people in the world can do it?

Her heart trembled slightly, as if something rushed away, she finally helped old man Hu.

Unexpectedly, she wanted to be grateful to Mr. Hu's family, so she asked to sell herself as a slave and serve her by her side no matter what.

Reluctantly, she bought a real estate house and house, and helped the bun shop that once helped Mr. Hu's family, but was coerced by loan sharks and almost closed down, and lived here temporarily.

... Recalling that day when I came out of the Tang family's ancestral hall, Yanwu Restaurant, Fang's merchant ships, carriages and horses, all the way.She wanted to find a quiet place, but in the end she ended up here by accident.

As Tao Hong said, fortunately, Mr. Hu's family met her, so they can now live in peace.

But what about her?If it wasn't for meeting Mr. Hu, where would she, Tao Hong and Fu'er be?
And the state of mind, how different is it from now?

——"Ma'am, ma'am?"

Suddenly, Tao Hong's voice revived in her ears.Tang Qianqian regained consciousness.

Next to her, Tao Hong looked at her worriedly, "If Madam is unwell, please ask them to come back another day!"

Tang Qianqian smiled, "It's okay, it's just that I was thinking wildly, and I was a little fascinated... What is it?"

Tao Hong didn't know whether what Tang Qianqian said was true or not, but seeing Tang Qianqian's question, she knew that she hadn't listened to what she said earlier, Tao Hong said, "The boss of Fangji printing plate came over and said that he wanted to Discuss with Madam!"

Tang Qianqian pondered for a while,
"Please come in!"

"Yes!"

When Tao Hong came in with a fat boss in his 40s, Tang Qianqian was already seated behind the screen.

Across a screen, the owner of Fangji printing plate couldn't see Tang Qianqian's appearance, but he could only feel a heavy light falling on top of his head. Although he was well-informed in Xingyang County, he was still a little scalped. Numb.

"I've seen Mrs.!"

"Boss Fang is polite!" Tang Qianqian raised her hand.

The boss of Fangji Printing Plate got up, and Madam Hu, the wife of Mr. Hu, offered tea. Boss Fangji thanked him and took it, but he put it aside before he could drink it.

"Madam once asked us to engrave the blessing cards. At that time, Madam said that it would be okay to engrave more sets of blessing cards, so we just engraved some more. But we just put the blessing cards on and put them away. When the order arrived, quite a few have already been sold. I am here today to thank Madam!"

As he said that, the boss of Fang Ji took out a bag from his arms, "According to Fang Ji's oath, but if there is a suitable agreement, [-]/[-] will be shared. Therefore, these are the profits from Madam's previous blessing card!"

Although the bag hadn't been opened, what was vaguely exposed was yellow-orange-orange in color.

Tang Qianqian could tell that it was a golden leaf.

Tang Qianqian was noncommittal, and Tao Hong, who was standing on the side of the screen, glanced at it and turned a blind eye.

The expression in Boss Fang's eyes outside the screen froze slightly, and his heart suddenly became a little awe-inspiring.

Obviously, a bag of gold leaves is just an interesting and fun object that seems to be thought of randomly, and it can earn so much money, but anyone who sees it, let alone a woman in the house, is walking A man who is used to merchants in the world would show some strangeness, but now, not to mention the lady, the maid beside the lady didn't show any expression.
