Chapter 45: 落魄
[In dire straits ]
Hobbling, Tang Shiman leaves the Tang Mansion, a place she can no longer enter. Once the daughter of heaven, she is now as down and out as a dog with nothing to lose. Covered in mud and water, with not a cent on her body, Tang Shiman walks down the street and is met with a lot of glances from passers-by.
Walking aimlessly on the street, Tang Shiman didn’t know where she could go, and felt that everyone around her was pointing at her. She was angry and didn’t know what to do. Walking down the street, she suddenly saw a young lady with her maid buying something, Tang Shiman quickly walked over, but before she could get close, she was stopped by someone.
“You crazy, what are you going to do?” The maid beside the lady stopped the person, then looked at her very angry. She does not know why she suddenly rushed out, just blocked in front of her own lady, looking at the person in front of her with an unfavourable face.
Tang Shiman looked at that person, who was once her best friend. Now she is in trouble, she just hopes to borrow some money.
The lady reacted quickly after the shock, and quickly recognised Tang Shiman. Afterwards,she looked at Tang Shiman no longer the usual warmth, but the depth of the eyes hid deep dislike, looking at her maid stopping the person from approaching, did not say anything else, but also slightly stepped back a little, for fear that she would stain her.
Tang Shiman, who felt so close to them in the past, did not notice her actions at all, and only thought that she had met a good sister who could help her, but when she still wanted to go forward, the maid who stopped in front of her looked at her fiercely, and her tone became very impatient, “You’re a crazy bitch from where? Stay away from my lady. “
Hearing the maid’s rebuke, Tang Shiman also stopped her steps and just looked at the young lady helplessly.
Seeing that Tang Shiman kept looking at herself, the young lady was afraid that she would pester her, so she hurriedly said to her maid, “Give her some silver and send her away.”
Until the master and servant left, Tang Shiman tugged at the several pieces of silver in her hand and looked fixedly at the direction the two had left. Afterwards, she turned around and left. Although the surrounding people were also sizing her up, they didn’t dare to gather around her for fear of being caught in her trap. Sensing the attitude of the people around her, Tang Shiman lowered her head and limped away with tears on her face.
Since that day, Tang Xiaobao and Ji Ling’s relationship and feelings have been getting better and better. This just made Tang Xiaobao feel strange, where Ji Ling had that good energy, every time to get him or make him exhausted. Lying on the bed, looking at the clothes being worn by Ji Ling, at this time Ji Ling is no longer skinny, there is even a thin layer of sexy muscles, behind the line is very beautiful, there are a few red marks on it, in the skinny and clear back looks very conspicuous.
Waiting for Ji Ling to put on the clothes, again is that in and out of the graceful gentleman, at this time Tang Xiaobao is a little angry, obviously making himself so uncomfortable, but Ji Ling, he just like nothing happened. Turned his head and looked at Tang Xiaobao, looked at him lying there bored looking, went over and patted his head, the tone was very kind, “You feel sick? Yesterday I did it too hard?”
After so many days, in fact, Tang Xiaobao is not so shy, just faced Ji Ling’s inquiry or felt a little embarrassed, so shook his head, said that he is alright.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s face, Ji Ling didn’t say anything, just reached out and rubbed his head, “If you are uncomfortable, lie in bed, ask Green Lotus to send you food, wait until when you are comfortable before you go down to the ground.” Said, then stood up, ready to go out, just before leaving the door, he was still a little worried towards Tang Xiaobao commanded: “I’m afraid that I will not be able to come back at noon, at night. the kitchen side will prepare food, so you do not need to worry about anything.” Tang Xiaobao nodded before taking Feng Ling out.
Although Ji Ling said that, Tang Xiaobao didn’t stay in bed for long, and when he was a little bit more fit, he got up on his own, only rubbing his waist from time to time.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao getting up, Green Lotus carefully brought up the congee that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Tang Xiaobao. Looking at Tang Xiao Bao who was rubbing his waist while drinking the congee, Green Lotus asked with some concern, “Young lady, your waist is not feeling well, do you need a slave servant to help you rub it.”
Hearing Green Lotus’s words, Tang Xiao Bao shook his head repeatedly, then looked at her and shook his head very firmly, indicating that there was no need. Just thinking about that matter being known by Green Lotus and the others was already shameful enough, but now that they knew everything, it was even more shameful. Thinking like this, he buried his head and drank the congee, drinking very seriously.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s insistence, Green Lotus didn’t mention the matter of rubbing his waist again. Looking at the red face of the person drinking porridge in small bites, Green Lotus still thinks that he is too thin-skinned, if it was in the beginning of the main house, that is, the master of the house doing business, asked them to wait outside. But now this kind of talk is never let Tang Xiaobao hear, lest her family’s young madam be shy again. The young madam is good at everything, just a little thin-skinned.
Waiting for Tang Xiaobao to drink a bowl of congee down, only to regain vitality, looking at the green lotus has been staring at their own still quite a bit embarrassed.
Waiting for Tang Xiaobao finished breakfast, green lotus stood at the side looking at him some tangled, just think of the young master commanded things, still said toward Tang Xiaobao: “Young madam, the young master said that your home in the mansion and those business has been brought back to you.” After saying this, he took out a small wooden box and opened it, inside was the original land deed of the Tang family and other things.
Hearing the words of Green Lotus, Tang Xiaobao remembered that day in the court that the county magistrate said that the mother and daughter will give the unjust wealth back to him. Look at all these things, Tang Xiaobao also knows that this is Ji Ling’s way, try to help him to get back his things, reach out and touch, do not know what to think of, and then put things back.
Seeing that his own madam started to go silent at the sight of this, although he didn’t want to disturb him, he thought of the other thing that his own Young Master had ordered, and still looked at his own Young Madam and carefully said, “Young Master said that if the Young Lady wants to go back to take a look, then we will accompany the Young Lady back to the Tang Mansion to take a look.”
Hearing Green Lotus’s suggestion, Tang Xiao Bao thought for a moment, but still shook his head. It wasn’t his home, and things had long since changed, so what else was there to see. Looking at these things at hand, Tang Xiaobao thought about it, or like waiting for Ji Ling to come back to give him to take care of it, otherwise putting it in his hands, it will only be spoiled.
Thinking of solving a big problem, Tang Xiaobao’s mood became more comfortable. Putting the small box away, he then looked at Green Lotus, who was following him, and smiled, “We haven’t made pastries for so many days, come with me to the kitchen later to make some, I want to make a new one this time.”
Green Lotus looked at Tang Xiaobao, looking at the recent bad things did not give him any shadow, so followed nodded and smiled: “Okay, young madam, recently the purchasing side also got some very good glutinous rice, I looked at the colour is good and put it in the kitchen, but also waiting for the young madam to take care of it.”
Hearing Green Lotus say this, Tang Xiaobao who was thinking of making sticky rice cakes was very happy, he hadn’t done anything for a long time, he was very itchy, and immediately stood up, but he didn’t care about his current physical condition, Tang Xiaobao just stood up, and felt his waist flashed, and he shouted out aiyoo.
Seeing this, Green Lotus hurriedly came over to support, carefully asking: “Young madam, are you alright? Be careful, come, come, sit down.” While saying this, she helped Tang Xiaobao to sit down, and then looked at Tang Xiaobao with great concern. Reaching out to rub his waist, he looked at the grimacing Tang Xiao Bao and couldn’t help but secretly laughed in her heart.
After sitting for a while, Tang Xiaobao felt more comfortable. Looked at the green lotus standing there fearfully to help themselves to rub the waist, very depressed, why is it that Ji Ling did not have any problem at all, on the contrary, he was made so uncomfortable, obviously according to the amount of exercise, Ji Ling’s amount of exercise is the bigger is good?
“Young madam, why don’t you let the slave girl go to help you get some medicine to compress, otherwise it will be very slow to get well, you are suffering again.” Green Lotus looked at Tang Xiao Bao whose complexion had relaxed a little, and suggested gently.
Tang Xiaobao pondered for a while, and finally agreed. When your waist is not in good condition, you still need to admit it, it’s not something to be ashamed of. Just think of it, the brain will appear Ji Ling in bed to put himself in this and that scene, causing Tang Xiaobao’s face to become red.
Today, due to Tang Xiaobao’s personal reasons, finally did not go to the kitchen, but the evening dishes are still in accordance with the menu given by Tang Xiaobao, so the food is also considered to be enjoyable.
When finished eating, Tang Xiaobao took out the things that Green Lotus gave to him today, and handed them to Ji Ling’s face.
Looking at the somewhat familiar box in front of him, Ji Ling looked at the person in front of him faintly, waiting for his next words. Sure enough, when Tang Xiaobao handed the box to Ji Ling, see him staring at his own still a little embarrassed, but still very determined to hand over the things to Ji Ling, said in a small voice: “These I will not manage, you are so powerful, it will be handed over to you to help me manage it, lest put this in my hands then you suffer a financial loss or left nothing.”
The things inside the box are placed inside the original seal, and it looks like there is no hidden meaning. After looking at it, there was quite a bit of wanting to tease, so he lightly said, “If you give all these things to me, then you are giving all the family assets to me. If one day I take all these things away, then you have nothing, you really have nothing at all.”
Hearing Ji Ling’s words, Tang Xiaobao looked at him blankly, not expecting this, and was still a bit unable to react. However, looking at Ji Ling, he asked cautiously, “Will you take all these things and leave?” At that time, he would become a poor man, and he would be penniless at that time. Just thinking about it, Tang Xiaobao felt a little scary. Just eyes tightly staring at the person in front of him, afraid that he would say what he did not want to hear.
Ji Ling lifted his eyes to look at him, seeing Tang Xiaobao staring at himself like a small animal begging for food, looking pitiful and cute, so he gently laughed, looking at him and said, “If you had been by my side all the time, then this wouldn’t have happened.”
Hearing Ji Ling’s words, Tang Xiaobao let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at him with a big smile, “I’ve been following you all the time, isn’t that a matter of course?” Said, as if thinking of something, staring at Ji Ling’s eyes became vicious, and said with a puff of anger, “Is it possible that you are going to forsake me after having dallied with me?”
The moment he saw Tang Xiaobao smile, Ji Ling understood that he was completely planted, hearing Tang Xiaobao’s later angry question he also did not care, just towards Tang Xiaobao revealed a not very obvious smile, looked at him and said: “Right, you follow me is the right choice.”
Seeing Ji Ling staring at him very seriously, Tang Xiao Bao had the feeling of being locked up by a fierce beast, and this feeling made him explode all over.
