Tang Bohu Marries Qiuxiang

Chapter 24

On the second floor of the tavern, Qiu Xiang in men's clothing sat in front of Tang Bohu's mother.

"Your name is Qiuxiang." Mother Tang asked.

"En!" Qiuxiang nodded.

"You and that bastard in my family have made a private decision for the rest of your life?" Mother Tang continued.

"Yes." Qiuxiang still nodded.

Mother Tang squinted her eyes at Qiuxiang and said, "Although you are a servant of a rich family, it is very rare for you to stand up for my son when he is in the most difficult time and follow him when he is poor and poor."

Tang's mother looked at the nervous Qiuxiang and said again: "I accept this marriage as my mother. From now on, you will be the eldest wife of my Tang family." "Yes... it is Madam."

"Call me mother!" Mother Tang emphasized.

"Yes! Mom!" Qiuxiang nodded solemnly, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and a warm and happy feeling lingered in her heart for a long time.

"Yue'er, call me sister-in-law!" Mother Tang said to her little daughter.

"Sister-in-law!" Tangyue called sweetly.

Zhu Zhishan came to the tavern and saw Tang Bohu rubbing his eyes vigorously, "Brother Tang, I finally saw you, and you are still alive." Tang Bohu: "..."

"It's a pity!" Zhu Zhishan stomped his feet and said, "How can a good scholar become a military officer!"

"It was all forced." Tang Bohu poured Zhu Zhishan a glass of wine and said, "Where is Wen Zhengming? Why didn't I see him?"

"This non-rural style is about to begin." Zhu Zhishan said with a frown, "He has already set off for the Gongyuan."

As early as a few years ago, Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan and the other three were already students, and the provincial examination was their first stop.

"We are still waiting for the cruel imperial examinations, but you have already become an official, and you are also a notorious Jinyiwei!" Zhu Zhishan continued: "Bohu, have you ever thought about how you will go in the future, and you are not afraid of carrying the burden on your back?" A lifetime of infamy?"

Tang Bohu smiled awkwardly, "Some people forced me to go nowhere, I can only fight that way, even though the road ahead will be very difficult, I also want to use my last meager strength to let the people of this land live. better."

"I'm going to Gongyuan to catch the township exam, Bohu, take care!" Zhu Zhishan said with his hands clasped.

"Good luck." Tang Bohu bid farewell with his hands in his hands.

After dinner, Tang Bohu persuaded his parents, "Father and mother, let's go to the capital together."

"But what about this tavern?" Mother Tang hesitated a bit and couldn't let go of the tavern she had been managing.

"Damn it!" Tang Guangde said, "Why don't you take Yue'er to the capital with Bohu, and I'll stay and manage the tavern alone."

"Are you able to take care of it?" Tang's mother looked at her husband and said, "The family of three is busy every day, how can you work alone?"

"Father and mother, stop arguing! Let's go to the capital together, let's open a small tavern!" Tang Bohu continued: "Besides, there are more people in the capital, so it's easier to do business!"

"That's fine." Mother Tang nodded and said, "We've saved a lot of money over the years. First, we'll buy you and Qiuxiang a house in the capital, and then we'll see where we can open a tavern."

Qiuxiang was washing the dishes when Tangyue quietly came up behind her and whispered, "Sister-in-law, how did you fall in love with my brother?"

For this question, Qiuxiang thought for a long time and said: "It's just that you see the right person. I have some feelings that I can't explain. You will know when you grow up."

"Hee hee hee!" Tangyue grinned, "Sister Qiuxiang is so beautiful, I really want to grow up soon."

On the second day, the family packed up their bags in three carriages, and escorted Tang Bohu's family to the capital with hundreds of Jinyi guards in Niuer. Zhang Lin saw Tang Bohu off at the gate of the city alone in official uniform.

"Tang Yin, I congratulate you!" Zhang Lin looked at Tang Bohu and said.

"Master Zhifu, thank you for taking care of me these years! It is you who let me go through so much and let me understand what the world of power is like. You are the first teacher since I entered the officialdom. I learned from you. There are a lot of things." Tang Bohu said quietly without saluting.

Zhang Lin smiled and continued, "Do you remember what I said at the beginning?"

"You want me to be a civil servant." Tang Bohu replied.

"Yes!" Zhang Lin continued: "Your future may be a fork in the road. You may be our future Jiangnan officialdom, and even the most difficult enemy in the entire Ming Dynasty. I have this feeling!"

"Your magistrate really flatters me." Tang Bohu held the Xiuchun knife in his hand and said, "My ideal is to open up a peach blossom island overseas to spend the rest of my life after seeing all the mountains and rivers in this land."

"Tang Bohu, you are not a person who talks about fame and wealth, at least I can see that you have ambitions for power!" Zhang Lin continued: "No matter what the future will be, no matter how high a position you will be in the future! I hope you can Work hard for the people of Ming Dynasty! If you are destined to be a villain of Jinyiwei that everyone hates, I will definitely use all means to make you disappear from this world."

"I, Tang Bohu, have never underestimated Jiangnan's power, and I dare not underestimate your means! As for the future, let's see as we go."

"Okay!" Zhang Lin made way for Tang Bohu and his party to leave Suzhou Mansion!
In Taohuazhuang, Zhong Ling'er got off her carriage and saw the matchmaker waiting at the door, "Sister Matchmaker, Xiao Ling'er has come to visit you."

"Little girl, you have a conscience." The matchmaker ushered Zhong Ling'er into the door and said, "You are really getting more and more beautiful. I'm afraid some men can't hold it anymore."

"The man in my heart hasn't appeared yet? They? They're so beautiful!" Zhong Ling'er said, "Actually, I'm here to ask you about someone."

"Is it Tang Yin?"

"Yes!" Zhong Ling'er nodded and said, "Tang Bohu is different from any man I have ever met. I can see something very special in his eyes. Nothing, although I can't say what it is."

"I can feel it too." Hong Niang replied: "Tang Yin does have a unique quality, he hides it deeply and I can feel it, but he doesn't show it."

Zhong Ling'er looked at Hong Nian with great interest and said, "My sister must be tempted by Tang Bohu."

The matchmaker didn't rush to deny Zhong Ling'er's question, but said: "Tang Yin's heart is like a deep pool of water, I can't see the bottom of his heart! There must be some ulterior secret in him, but I can feel it. Arrived, but couldn’t figure it out.”

"You and I have met countless men. If we both can't see through this man Tang Bohu, then his future is beyond our imagination." Zhong Ling'er sat in the peach blossom grove Said.
