Chapter 74
"Mom, I can't stand it anymore. I'm very tired. I don't want to take the imperial examination."

"Your Majesty!"

Tang Qinglu and Xiaozi heard the voices of Tang Youtian and Fourth Aunt from a distance. They looked at each other and walked in quickly. Fourth Aunt was hitting Tang Youtian's back with a feather duster. The usual gentleness was long gone, replaced by The image of a tiger mother who "hates iron but not steel", and Tang Youtian lowered his head and endured the pain, and he didn't cry out for pain. The older the fourth aunt, the stronger she was, and everyone else was horrified when they heard it.

"Girl." Just as Xiaozi yelled, Tang Qinglu had already rushed over to grab Fourth Aunt's hand and snatched the feather duster, "Si Niang, you can't beat like this."

"Qinglu, don't worry about it!" Si Yiniang reached out to snatch the feather duster from Tang Qinglu's hand, Tang Qinglu dodged it and turned aside casually, Si Yiniang sat down silently with a "hey".

"Youtian, get up!" Tang Qinglu went to help Tang Youtian. Tang Youtian raised his head, tears in his eyes, and looked back at Fourth Aunt, who was holding her head with her left hand, and shook her head at Tang Qinglu.

"Si Niang, what happened?" Tang Qinglu gave up helping Tang Youtian, and she sat across from Si Yiniang, "Arita is so cute, why are you angry?"

Fourth Aunt did not speak.Tang Youtian walked over on his knees, grabbed Fourth Aunt's right hand and said, "Mom, Dad always told me that he only wanted me to grow up healthy and happy. Why do you insist that I take the imperial examination?"

Si Yiniang covered her forehead, grabbed Tang Youtian's hand with her right hand, and taught dutifully, "Youtian, I don't have to ask you to be in the top three in the exam. At the very least, you have to get a good reputation. I am also happy to be a 'teacher', so that I can be worthy of your father, do you understand?"

Tang Youtian shook his head, Tang Qinglu didn't understand, and Xiaozi stood there in a daze.

"Hey!" Fourth Aunt sighed, she had something to hide, for so many years, she never confided her thoughts to others, God knows how uncomfortable it is for her to suffer alone.

"Siniang, it's not that the imperial examinations can make our ancestors proud. Youtian doesn't want to take the imperial examinations to help me do business." Tang Qinglu recalled Tang Youtian's haggard look after reading, and she knew that Tang Youtian was not suitable for studying, and reading any further would only backfire.

"Qinglu, Arita, the business of the Tang family belongs to the Tang family, and has nothing to do with Arita." Tang Qinglu was puzzled by Si Yiniang's words. She looked at Tang Youtian, but he didn't respond at all. I think Si Yiniang did this more than once. Said.

Although the Tang family valued direct lineage, Mrs. Tang also hated concubines and their children, but she never harshly treated them in terms of food and clothing. Tang Anhe also mentioned that in the future when he was gone, the property of the Tang family would be divided equally.The fourth aunt has always been indifferent in the Tang family, and she does not fight or grab, which is completely different from the style of the second aunt and the third aunt. This is unrealistic for any family.

"Si Niang, you have never regarded the Tang family as your own, have you?" Tang Qinglu seemed to understand something, but she was just guessing.

Fourth Aunt moved her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

"Si Niang?" Tang Qinglu asked again, and Tang Youtian was equally curious.

Fourth Auntie closed her eyes, the traces of sadness slightly pursed at the corners of her mouth were too obvious, which made people feel distressed. After a long time, she opened her eyes, grabbed Tang Qinglu's hand and said earnestly, "Qinglu, don't ask any more questions. There is a reason, and there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed, I don’t say it, because I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.”

"Yes." Tang Qinglu nodded, the truth is sometimes bloody.

"Yo, why did Arita kneel down? Fourth aunt, you still beat him, how can you teach the child a lesson like this, Arita get up quickly!" The second aunt came in, her mouth sour, she was about to get up with Tang Youtian, Tang Arita couldn't live and die, so she gave up, and when she really wanted to sit down, San Yiniang came.

Since Tang Qinglu came back to the Tang family, Fourth Aunt appeared in the public eye more often, and everyone was wondering if she had some purpose.

As soon as Tang Qinglu left, the two women stayed in their yard for a while, and their imaginations flew out of the sky. They thought that Tang Qinglu would do something to Fourth Auntie. Running here, no, we ran into each other on the road, the two of you pulled each other, they didn't want each other to come, the second aunt gave a wink, and the broken woman who was hiding aside came out, grabbed the third aunt to prevent her Let's go, the third aunt pushed and shoved, the second aunt came running, the broken woman saw that the master was far away, so she let the third aunt go, the third aunt said harshly that someone must teach the broken woman, the broken woman snorted coldly Ran.

"Second aunt, third aunt, why are you free to come to my yard today?" Fourth aunt did not stand up to greet them, she has always treated them like this, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are here to monitor, so naturally fourth aunt would not give They have good eyes.

"Our sisters haven't caught up with each other for a long time. Let's come to see you." Third Yiniang walked over with a smile, calling her sister and sister very kindly, and others felt uncomfortable hearing it.

"Who is your sister!" The second aunt rolled her eyes, and her voice was not too loud, but everyone present heard it. She often thought that she had given birth to Tang Youlu, whose status was dozens of times higher than that of the second aunt. wind.

"Second room, don't think that you are extremely arrogant after having a son. My wife and fourth aunt both have sons. In terms of seniority, who are you? Also, don't be too arrogant. Look at how old you are. You have to have a body like a pig, and your whole body is greasy, and you hate it, and you don’t know how to look in the mirror, so you’re embarrassing me." The third aunt kept feeling aggrieved, and the words of the second aunt ignited her anger.

"I'm arrogant? I have a body like a pig? Where am I getting fat? Are you really blind?" The second aunt hates people saying she looks like a "pig" the most. When she slaps her thigh, she grabs her sleeves and wants to fight with the third aunt , the fat on his hands trembled, and his mouth did not stop, "Sanfang, don't think that you will go to heaven because of your beauty, I tell you, just you, who looks like dried fish, thrown against the red wall No one is watching, if you don’t apologize to me today, I will beat you to death.”

"Just like you, you don't feel ashamed when others say you are plump." Third Aunt ran around the table.

"Stop and see if I don't kill you." The second aunt grabbed the shoe in her hand and threw it over. The third aunt dodged and the two chased after her. Calm, she is not used to it.

"Second Niang, Third Niang!" Tang Qinglu stood up to separate Second Concubine and Third Concubine, they were yelling to fight, Tang Qinglu looked at their expressions, and said amusedly, "Do you want to continue the fight? Looking at your appearance, your clothes are disheveled, and your face is terrifying, do you want to be known as the second aunt of the Tang family and the third aunt to make people laugh at you?"

"It was Sanfang who scolded me first." The second aunt was wronged.

"The second room provoked it first." The third aunt wasn't angry either.

"I don't care which of you provoked it. I am in charge of the Tang family now, and I don't allow anyone to quarrel over housework." Tang Qinglu looked at them rather sternly, and sometimes she had to be stern to control the situation.

"Hmph!" The second aunt shook hands with the third aunt, thinking of Mrs. Tang's ferocious appearance, they didn't dare to make a fuss. Mrs. Tang didn't use harsh words like Tang Qinglu, and directly punished them with practical actions.

"This lip service has slipped away, I will continue to teach my son a lesson, can the two of you leave?" Fourth Aunt stood up, her serious gaze was completely different from usual.The second aunt and the third aunt suddenly became scared, and ran away in a hurry without saying goodbye.

Fourth Aunt walked over to pick up the feather duster, Tang Qinglu hurriedly stopped her, "Si Niang! Arita knew he was wrong, he will study hard, don't beat him."

"Qinglu, Mrs. Lin must have taught you that some principles should not be violated? Can your elder sister protect him for a while or forever?" Si Yiniang looked at Tang Qinglu with rosy eyes, "He is my son. I also feel bad for beating him, but, Qinglu, how hard it is for us to live in this society, he is now protected by the Tang family, and with me by his side, he doesn't have to think about the future, one day I will leave, The Tang family can't rely on it anymore, what will he use to face the dangerous society? He can only gain a foothold in the future if he is excellent and has a means of making a living, and you are the same, do you know?"

"I"

"Qinglu, let me tell you, it's too late to plan ahead when the wind and rain are turbulent. Everyone can only live by relying on themselves. He is different from you, really different. If I don't force him, others will bully him in the future. "Si Yiniang looked at Tang Qinglu meaningfully, pushed her away who was dazed and continued to beat Tang Youtian.

Tang Qinglu felt more and more that Si Yiniang and Tang Youtian were not from the Tang family. She looked at Si Yiniang and Tang Youtian quietly, Xiaozi grabbed her hand, "Girl!"

"Si Niang must have her reasons, let's go back." Tang Qinglu didn't want to continue reading, so Xiaozi nodded.After they walked for a while, Tang Youtian burst into tears and shouted, "Mom, I will continue to study, and I will work hard to take the imperial examination."

It's not that I don't love, but that I love deeply, so I am strict!Tang Qinglu felt so sad that she actually shed tears.

"Girl?" Xiaozi looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"Si Niang must have experienced many things." Tang Qinglu shook her head, wiped away her tears and looked ahead, "Mother said that the more seriously injured a person is, the more he knows how to endure and understand the importance of living well."

"Girl, don't be sad, Xiaozi looks sad." Xiaozi was relieved, and Tang Qinglu smiled. She hasn't encountered any difficulties yet, so she is sad?It doesn't fit her identity.She immediately smiled and left, but her smile hurt Tang Qinghe who was hiding aside, "Why can Tang Qinglu be so happy? Hmph, I'm so mad."
