Flowers are expensive

Chapter 249 Who is the Zhong family 1
Tang Xuanzhen stopped her chopsticks, raised her head and said, "Miss Cuiyue, you are too polite! Without you taking me in, I would still have to eat and sleep in the open! What is a vegetarian meal or two?"

Lihua smiled and said: "Then I have to come to eat every day! I heard from the nanny that the fasting banquet in the temple is famous. Even if you have money, you may not be able to eat it once. Otherwise, we will wait for you later. Once the business is done, it’s okay to open a vegetarian restaurant in the city!”

Tang Xuanzhen lowered her head slightly and said, "How can I do this? I'm not as good at business as you two."

"That's right," Cuiyue took over the conversation, "Madam You is determined to find a good marriage for you, and to do this good thing to the end. If you are asked to open some vegetarian restaurant, it will disappoint Madam You's thoughts. You Just stay with me and wait to get married!"

Tang Xuanzhen's face turned red, and his head lowered even lower.She said coquettishly: "Cuiyue said it's far away, I didn't promise to get married. Mrs. You's great kindness has not been repaid, how can I find peace by myself?"

Lihua leaned over and asked her with a smile: "Don't be shy, tell us, what kind of person do you want to find? It's better to have an idea in your own heart, so as not to turn around and find someone you don't like. "

"This talk is getting farther and farther away!" Tang Xuanzhen blushed and got up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and order some soup, you guys chat first!" After she finished speaking, she hurried out of the room.

Lihua turned her head and asked Cuiyue with a smile: "Is she interested? When you mention this, you blush like a peach, and you never asked?"

"I also asked, but she never showed it. But I saw that she seemed to have someone in her heart, but it's not easy to tell us. You go back and talk to Mrs. You, ask Mrs. You to ask in person, I'm afraid I can find out some shadows. By the way, the prince hasn't come back yet?"

Lihua turned her mouth up, bit the tip of her chopsticks and said, "Who knows where he went! He said he had something to do, so he sent me back first, but he didn't believe me for a few days!"

"He is a prince after all, can he have nothing to do? You can eat and drink comfortably in the palace!" Cuiyue said with a smile.

"What if I'm a pig? I don't want to be waited on all day, and I have to be helped even to get dressed, like a useless person, so I bought that shop and found something to do for myself."

"Then do you plan to go back to Zique Village?"

"I have to go back a few times, and there is such a big flower field! Although I don't worry about handing it over to Yutong and his wife, I still have to go back and have a look."

"Anyway, you have discussed it with the prince, but don't get angry and cry until the time comes, and Lihua sneaks away without a trace!"

The two couldn't help laughing.Wuye, who was serving beside her, curiously asked what was going on.Lihua then vividly told the story of her running away with Cuiyue, which amused all the maids in the room.

With an exaggerated expression on Wu Ye's face, she clutched her chest and said cheerfully, "My dear wife! You may be the first one! You dare to leave our lord behind and run away by yourself, you are not so brave. If you want to change me, just marry another one, and it took so much time to find you, it shows that our prince is really an infatuated man!"

The whole room burst into laughter.Cuiyue choked on the soup, coughed a few times and then laughed: "So, turn around and look at her closely, lest she get upset and run away, and make your lord feel distressed and heartbroken!"

Wuye echoed: "That's right! The prince can still find her if she runs away, which shows how much the prince likes his wife! If she runs away again, we slaves will not be able to bear the blame! So, go If the Empress Madam wants to run away, she should also take us along, lest the prince will take us to death!"

Lihua blushed with a smile, patted the table and said, "Enough is enough, don't make fun of me anymore, or I'll really play with you and disappear!" While speaking, she inadvertently looked up and saw Tang Xuanzhen standing at the door, strangely He smiled and asked, "Miss Tang, it's so cold for you to stand at the door holding a soup bowl! Why don't you come in?"

Tang Xuanzhen's expression was a little strange. When she heard Lihua calling her, she came back to her senses and hurriedly closed the door with her elbow.Maybe she was too impatient, the soup in her hand spilled out and splashed on the back of her hand, she couldn't help throwing the bowl away, and screamed.

With a "bang", the soup bowl hit the ground, shattered, and steam rose from the ground.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chun'er reached out and pulled Tang Xuanzhen away and asked, "Miss Tang, are you alright?"

"It's okay...it's okay..." Tang Xuanzhen shook her head again and again, "I'm really sorry! I smashed a soup bowl for nothing."

"Are you all right?" Cuiyue asked, "Is there something hot? A soup bowl is nothing, if you smash it, you smash it! You just splashed the soup on your hand, rush to rinse it with cold water, call Luer Give you some medicine."

"Let's put egg white on it, that's the best!" Lihua interjected.

Tang Xuanzhen slightly raised her eyes to look at Lihua, then turned around and left the room quickly.After she left, Lihua covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Sister Cuiyue, I guess Tang Xuanzhen has something on her mind!"

"I look at it too, she is such a big girl, how can she be okay? I will grind her up later."

After Lihua and Cuiyue had their meal, they sat for a while and then got up to look at the shop.Before going out, Cuiyue asked Lu'er to ask Tang Xuanzhen.Lu'er came back and said, "Miss Tang thinks it's cold outside, so she wants to stay at home and do some sewing, so she won't go out."

Cuiyue nodded and said: "That's fine, let her stay at home."

Afterwards, Cuiyue and Lihua went out together.Unexpectedly, before reaching the shop, snowflakes suddenly floated in the sky, and gusts of wind blew.Lihua was afraid that Cuiyue would be frozen by the wind and cold, so she hurriedly helped her go home.As soon as he reached the door, there was a loud noise.Cuiyue slightly frowned and asked suspiciously: "Who is this? The one who yelled loudly, it's not a good look. I haven't offended any neighbors on weekdays, have I?"

Just as she was talking, a woman was suddenly pushed out of the door, and almost hit Cuiyue's stomach.Fortunately, Lihua was quick and supported the woman, blocking Cuiyue.She looked up, wasn't it Tang Xuanzhen who pushed the woman out?

Seeing that someone had come back, the woman simply sat at the door and burst into tears.Tang Xuanzhen's face turned red and black in an instant, the corners of his mouth twitched with anger, and he looked coldly at the crying woman.Cui Yue hurriedly asked: "Where is this trouble? This aunt, who are you? Why did you come to my door and cry?"

Before the woman could speak, Tang Xuanzhen said with a cold face: "Sister Cuiyue, leave her alone! She's just a fool who came here to identify relatives and want to make a living!"

"Really?" Cui Yue looked at the woman suspiciously.

The woman looked about 50 to [-] years old, she was wearing an old patched jacket, her face and hands were numb from the cold, she looked pitiful.As soon as she heard Tang Xuanzhen say this, she cried, "Zhen'er! You really have no conscience! Don't you think about it, who gave birth to you in October?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Xuanzhen's complexion became even worse, and he almost fainted on the spot.She said in a trembling voice: "I told you a long time ago, I am not the Zhen'er you said, and I have nothing to do with you! You have mistaken the person, go back where you came from!"

"My own daughter, how can I admit my mistake? Even if we haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, I still remember your appearance! Now that you live in a good house and live a good life, you don't recognize me as a mother Ouch!" the woman howled, beating her chest and stomping her feet, "This is going to be retribution! This is going to be thunderous! Oh my god!"

Everyone present was stunned, no one thought that this woman would say such a thing.Tang Xuanzhen said before that there is no one else in her family, and she is the only one left.But now why is there another mother-in-law?
The woman cried and rushed towards Cuiyue again.Lihua hurriedly stopped her and said, "Ma'am, don't cry yet, just say what you have to say. You are crying to death in front of this door, you are embarrassing me, Sister Cuiyue!"

Cuiyue nodded and said: "Yes, others will think I bullied you if they saw it! Otherwise, go in and have a sip of hot tea and talk slowly!"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Xuanzhen immediately said with a straight face: "Sister Cuiyue, don't pay attention to her! She is here to make a living! I have seen such a person a lot, I will not be fooled by that!"

Lihua was slightly taken aback, thinking that Tang Xuanzhen had been tossing around in Buddhism for several years, and he should have a little compassion without the root of wisdom.But looking at her attitude towards this woman, she was almost jealous, which made Lihua suspicious.

The woman pointed at Tang Xuanzhen and scolded: "Zhen'er, you are too cruel! Do you ignore your mother's death from freezing and starving? You will suffer retribution! You will suffer retribution!"

"I'll tell you!" Tang Xuanzhen stepped forward and pointed at the woman and said coldly, "My Tang Xuanzhen's mother passed away a long time ago, so where did you come from? Hmph, don't think that knowing my name can make you feel good about yourself." I have something to do with it, let's go!"

The woman immediately hugged Lihua's feet and cried loudly: "Madam, what I'm telling is the truth! If I want to say half a lie, it will be struck by lightning!"

"You..." Tang Xuanzhen blushed, feeling embarrassed that a lie had been exposed.

Lihua hurriedly bent down to help her up and said: "You should get up first before talking! No matter whether it is true or not, everyone will not be happy if you continue to make trouble like this. Why don't you listen to my sister Cuiyue, go in and have a drink of hot soup and then take your time." Say."

Tang Xuanzhen glanced at Lihua with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Mrs. Lihua, this is my business, and I will handle it myself. Do I not know if I have a mother? I know you are kind, but I can't give it to you easily. Such a person is cheating!"

Lihua turned her head to look at Tang Xuanzhen and said, "Whether you're lying or not, look at her face, and then touch her hands, like popsicle sticks. You can't bear to push her out like this? She bowl There's nothing wrong with giving hot rice porridge to her, isn't she?"

Tang Xuanzhen couldn't refute what he said, and his face became even redder.Cuiyue hurriedly came out to smooth things over, and asked Lu'er to help the woman into the courtyard gate.Tang Xuanzhen turned away angrily, hiding in her room and not coming out.After returning to the hall, Cuiyue asked Lu'er to bring two bowls of hot noodles to the woman.The woman was really starving, so Gulu Gulu ate two bowls, and it was so hot that beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.She wiped her mouth, cupped her hands at Cuiyue and Lihua and said with a smile: "Thank you two kind-hearted ladies! To be honest, I'm so hungry!"

"Let's get down to business!" Li Hua said, "Where did you come from, old man? What is your last name? Why did you come here for no reason to recognize someone as your daughter?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth! If I want to speak half a lie, it will be struck by lightning!" The woman swore, "Zhen'er is indeed my daughter, my own daughter!"

"That's strange," Cuiyue took over the conversation, "Sister Xuanzhen always said that she was the only one left in her family, so she escaped into Buddhism, so why would she have a mother?"

"Oh! This is a long story! I, my surname is Zhong, and after marrying Zhen'er's father, I only have a daughter like Zhen'er. I thought that marrying an official would lead to a better life anyway. Who knows, Zhen'er When Er was ten years old, her father’s official position was gone, and the family’s wealth could not be earned, so I took Zhen’er to live around. Later, when I came to Dali, I met Zhen’er’s aunt..."

"Are they Tang Xuanrong's mother and daughter?" Lihua suddenly interrupted Zhong's words and asked.

Mrs. Zhong nodded hurriedly and said, "Madam also knows about Tang Xuanrong's mother and daughter? Zhen'er told you, right? Don't mention it! If Tang Xuanrong's father hadn't been implicated back then, I'm afraid my husband-in-law would not have lost his job."
