Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Tang Ao's Choice

The second day of May. Early in the morning, the Tangjiabao became noisy, and the old ancestor told him to go down at dawn. The breakfast had to be kept hot, and she wanted to eat it with Tang Ao. The old ancestor didn't expect Tang Ao's footsteps to be so fast. She thought Tang Ao would not return to Tangjiabao until tomorrow at the earliest. There is another thing she didn't expect Tang Ao to arrive before breakfast was ready. The so-called arrival is just to the gate of the Tangjiabao, and the Tang family can stand firm in the rivers and lakes, which naturally has its advantages. Just take this trivial matter, and the power of the Tangjiabao can be imagined.

When Tang Ao stepped into the gate of Tangjiabao, the news had already reached the ears of the ancestors, because the ancestors had already set a rule that as long as any situation happened, no matter what that person was doing, she must be notified , so the ancestors were awakened. As soon as the ancestor woke up, not to mention the big and small cooks in the kitchen, they were already making breakfast. When Tang Ao entered the Tang family garden, the breakfast table had already been set. As soon as his people stepped into the "Peony Pavilion" on the left side of the garden, they saw the smiling face of their ancestors.

He just yelled that the ancestors were early, and sat opposite the ancestors. At this time, the hot pancakes were just served on the table. The old ancestor looked at the dusty Tang Ao, and only said three words: eat first. Tang Ao didn't say a word, knowing the temper of the old ancestor, she wants you to eat first, you must eat before you talk, otherwise, she will be unhappy, so he picked up the oil cake and wrapped it with meat fried with red pepper Si ate eight pancakes in one go, which made him sweat all over his head, but it made his fatigue disappear and he looked full of energy.

Only then did the ancestor say: "If you don't have enough energy, your thoughts will be chaotic." Tang Ao nodded and said, "I know." The old ancestor said: "You must already know about Shangguan Ren?" Tang Ao said: "Yes, that's why I came back on a starry night." The old ancestor said: "Oh? Have you discovered any secrets?" Tang Ao said: "Yes, I already have a general understanding of the situation in Dafengtang. I have already arranged it outside, and I am ready to launch the first wave of attacks on the Duan Niu Festival."

The old ancestor said: "What does this have to do with your traveling overnight? Isn't it the same when you come back tomorrow?" Tang Ao said: "Today is already the second year of junior high school. If I come back one day earlier, I can confirm our investigation from Shangguan Ren earlier, and see if there is anything else in Dafengtang that we don't know about." The old ancestor said: "It is right to make arrangements early to confirm the confirmation. When confirming with Shangguan Dao, you should pay attention to it." Tang Ao asked: "Oh? Why? Don't the ancestors trust him?"

The old ancestor said: "I trusted him at first, because he brought Zhao Jian's head, which really shows that he is sincere to seek refuge. However, something happened in the past few days." Tang asked, "What's the matter?" The ancestor explained to Tang Ao how Zhao Wuji came to Tangjiabao. After Tang Ao finished listening, he asked, "Is there any news about Yuan San?" The old ancestor said: "Not yet, but those who went to investigate will have news back at noon at the latest." Tang Ao said: "Then I will discuss it with Shang Guanren at night."

The old ancestor said: "Yes, the more careful you are, the better. We must wipe out all the forces in Dafengtang in one fell swoop this time, so that our Tang family can dominate the world." Tang said: "Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely complete this task." The old ancestor said: "I have confidence in you, ah, by the way, Tang Que said yesterday that Xiao Donglou is here." Tang said: "He came to get the medicine again? I think we might as well give him all the medicine at once. Why should we covet his rare treasures?" The old ancestor said: "I'm not completely greedy for his things. You know, at first we wanted his things in order to sell them at a high price. With more money, we could support more people and have more strength, but later Later, I suddenly had a strange idea, and this idea finally came true this time."

Tang Ao asked: "What do you think?" The old ancestor said: "Xiao Donglou is a strange person. You should know his status and status like the emperor's jade before?" Tang Ao said: "I know his origin." The old ancestor said: "It is because he is strange, so I thought, maybe one day, he will bring some strange things." Tang Ao said: "Did he bring something strange this time?" The old ancestor said: "Yes." Tang Ao said: "What?" The old ancestor said: "One person." Tang Ao asked: "A person? Who?"

The old ancestor said: "Wei Fengniang." Tang Ao said: "Zhao Wuji's wife who hasn't paid homage?" The old ancestor said: "Yes." Tang Ao said: "What is the purpose of bringing Wei Fengniang here?" The old ancestor said: "He heard that we are investigating whether a person is Zhao Wuji, so he brought Wei Fengniang." Tang Ao smiled and said: "This is a good way." The old ancestor said: "Not bad at all, do you want to see Xiao Donglou?" Tang Ao said: "Okay, at noon today, I will invite him to dinner at Yixiang Building, and I will only invite him alone."

The old ancestor felt strange and said, "Only invite him? Don't invite Wei Fengniang?" Tang Ao said: "I have made arrangements for this matter." The old ancestor said: "Okay, everything is up to you. Do you have anything else to discuss? If not, you'd better go and have a rest first." Tang Ao said: "I want to ask Mr. Zhu to draw a portrait of that Li Yutang, and ask him to finish it at noon." Mr. Zhu is Zhu Zidan, a painter in Tangjiabao, who is best at painting figures. He will draw a portrait of Ken for all the dignitaries in Tangjiabao, and hang it in a place called "Studio" in Tangjiabao.

Because Mr. Zhu is worthy of painting the portrait of Ken only if he is a man, so the ancestor couldn't help asking: "Why did you paint for him? Why didn't you wait for Wei Fengniang to see him before painting?" Tang Ao said: "Old Ancestor, can I keep it a secret and report to grandma at night?" The old ancestor, just like the kind grandmothers all over the world, said in a tone of reprimand but full of joy: "Such an important matter is still a secret? But I believe you must have a well-thought-out plan to do so." Tang Ao smiled and said, "The old ancestor knows me best." The old ancestor said: "Stop drinking the soup and go to rest!" It was almost noon after waking up, and Tang Ao went to Yixiang Building full of energy. Not long after he sat down, Xiao Donglou came under two people carrying a stretcher. After the polite words were finished, it was time to eat, and what they talked about during the meal were all allusions from the world. It wasn't until tea was served after dinner that Tang Ao picked up a gourd hanging beside him, handed it to Xiao Donglou, and said, "The medicine in this gourd can be used for sixty-six years." Xiao Donglou knew that this was the antidote he wanted to give to the "zombie". He was overjoyed when he heard that what Tang Ao gave him this time was worth sixty-six years. He believed that he must have brought Wei Fengniang here. So he said: "When are you going to see Wei Fengniang?" Tang Ao said: "I'm not going to see her." Xiao Donglou was slightly taken aback, and said: "If you don't see her, who will see her?" Tang Ao said: "No one in our Tangjiabao has seen her." Xiao Donglou was very surprised this time, and said: "No one? Why?" Tang Ao said: "I don't think it's necessary." Xiao Donglou said: "Could it be that you have verified that that person is not Zhao Wuji?" Tang Ao said: "Not yet." Xiao Donglou said: "Then..." Tang Ao said: "I just don't want to rely on a woman to check." As soon as Xiao Donglou heard this, he immediately stretched out his right hand, flicked his middle finger nail against his thumb, and the gourd in front of him moved towards Tang Ao, and then he said: "In this case, I can't accept this .” Tang Aoleng stood there, looking at Xiao Donglou. Xiao Donglou smiled at him and said: "I am very grateful for your kindness, but I will never do anything in my life that will not be rewarded for nothing." Tang Ao didn't know what to do at first, but Tang Ao was the leader of Tangjiabao after all. As soon as he thought about it, he immediately made a plan and said to Xiao Donglou: "I hope you accept it." Then, he pushed the gourd back in front of Xiao Donglou. Xiao Donglou didn't speak, but looked at Tang Ao with a pair of eyes. Tang Ao said again: "Since the method for you to accept is to accept your kindness, I decided to let that person see Wei Fengniang tonight." Xiao Donglou smiled slightly, picked up the gourd and said, "Thank you then." Tang Ao said: "The person who should be thanked should be me."
