Chapter 644: Crying, the kind that can’t be comforted
Tang Bao's heart sank even more.
"Sister Suya, what happened?"
As soon as she entered her room, Tang Bao couldn't wait to ask.
She didn't believe that Xia Siya was carsick.
"Sister Fuya..." Xia Siya glanced at Tang Bao.
Tears fell down, "pat, pat".
Tang Bao's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.
"Sister Suya, don't cry. Tell me what happened."
Tang Bao was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Sister Fuya...I, I will tell you tomorrow." Xia Siya said with a sob.
She did not forget what her mother had just told her.
Tang Bao bit her lip, took a deep breath, and asked calmly: "Sister Siya, is there something wrong with my sixth brother?"
Xia Siya's eyes suddenly widened.
"Sister Fuya, how did you know?"
Tang Bao, “…”
She doesn't know!
She felt anxious whenever she thought of her sixth brother.
"Sister Siya, godfather and godmother are here today because of my sixth brother's matter, right?" Tang Bao asked.
Others might not have noticed, but she did.
Every time my godmother comes home, she brings many gifts.
Especially new clothes made for myself.
But this time, although he came to congratulate, he brought nothing.
Obviously, he came in a hurry.
Moreover, there was worry between the godfather's brows, and even when the godmother smiled, her brows did not relax.
Xia Siya nodded and cried, "My father received the imperial court's report and saw the list of the fallen soldiers..."
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
impossible!
If something happened to Sixth Brother, like he was seriously injured or something, that's possible.
But, killed in action...
How could her sixth brother be killed in battle?
She is God’s own daughter!
Isn’t God afraid that her own daughter will cry... and can’t be comforted?
Tang Bao looked up and looked out the window.
Or... start crying now?
The kind of crying that can’t be comforted?
The fear of the unknown in Tang Bao's heart subsided, and she calmed down instead.
"Sister Siya, please listen to your godmother on this matter and don't tell anyone about it for now." Tang Bao said calmly.
"But..." Xia Siya said with red eyes: "Sixth brother..."
"Sister Siya, as long as we haven't seen my sixth brother's body, it doesn't prove that he's gone." Tang Bao said with certainty: "The court's official report may not be true. It may be a mistake, or it may be the same name and surname. Any of these is possible."
After listening to Tang Bao's words, Xia Siya thought about it, stopped crying, and felt that it was possible.
After all, Sister Fuya is so lucky. Every year she sews shoes, socks, etc. for her sixth brother by hand and asks someone to send them to the border.
Sixth Brother is wearing something sewn by Sister Fuya. God will surely bless Sixth Brother and turn misfortune into good fortune...
"Sister Fuya, you're right!" Xia Siya wiped the tears from her face and said, "Sixth Brother must be fine. This must be a mistake!"
"Auntie, Sister Siya, please come out quickly. The dinner is about to start."
Mrs. Su's voice came from the yard.
"I got it, sister-in-law, I'll be right there." Xiao Tangbao said loudly.
Mrs. Su has been very busy today.
She is the eldest daughter-in-law in the family and is in charge of almost half of the family.
So, after listening to Tang Bao's words, he didn't go into the house, but went back to busying himself with the preparations for the banquet.
When Tang Bao heard her sister-in-law leave, she whispered to Xia Siya, "Sister Siya, I'll go get some water. Wash your face and put on some powder. Don't let anyone see it."
"Yeah." Xia Siya nodded, feeling much more energetic.
"Miss, I'll go." Shi Liu walked in with a red lacquer tray in her hand, lifting the door curtain.
There was a teapot and teacups on the tray.
Today, Shi Liu has grown into a graceful young lady.
She is tall and her skin is not very white, but her facial features are very three-dimensional.
Curved eyebrows, big eyes, high nose bridge...
The whole person looks like a kind of unrestrained and passionate beauty.
Tang Bao always felt that Shi Liu might have foreign ancestry.
Pomegranate put the tray on the table and turned to walk out.
"Sister Pomegranate, did you... hear everything?" Tang Bao asked.
Shi Liu stopped, glanced at Tang Bao, and said in a low voice with a somewhat nervous expression: "Miss, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Madam asked me to come over to bring tea to you and Miss Siya. I walked to the door and accidentally heard it... I'm sorry, Miss..."
Pomegranate said this and lowered his head.
In fact, she subconsciously paused and listened carefully when she heard Xia Siya talking about Su Xiaoliu.
"Sister Pomegranate, it's okay, don't tell anyone." Tang Bao reminded.
"I know, miss."
Shi Liu agreed, but hesitated to speak.
"Sister Pomegranate, just say whatever you want to say." Tang Bao said.
Shi Liu looked at Xia Siya.
"Ms. Siya, my brother..."
There was obvious tension on Shi Liu's face.
Xia Siya shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Shiliu, your brother's name is not on it."
Pomegranate let out a sigh of relief.
Then, I felt something was wrong.
After all, her brother went to the border to protect the Sixth Young Master.
Now that the Sixth Young Master was in trouble, her brother was fine...
If you fail to protect your master in other wealthy families, you will be severely punished.
"Miss, my brother..."
"Sister Shiliu, Brother Changsheng is fine. It's a good thing." Tang Bao seemed to see what Shiliu was thinking and comforted her.
She believed that Changsheng must have tried his best to protect his sixth brother.
However, there are too many uncertainties on the battlefield because swords are merciless.
Shi Liu looked at Tang Bao with gratitude.
She knew that her lady would not blame her brother.
"Don't worry, young lady. The Sixth Young Master is definitely blessed by God and will be fine!" Shi Liu said confidently, "If anything happens to the Sixth Young Master, my brother will definitely come back to report it!"
After saying this, Shi Liu went to fetch water with light steps.
Xia Siya washed her face again and applied a thin layer of powder. Tang Bao also applied a layer of cooling and swelling-reducing ointment on her eyelids. Then the two of them went to the banquet place in front hand in hand.
Because a dining tent was set up and the weather was neither too cold nor too hot, we had the feast in the yard.
The villagers of Daliushu Village love to eat this kind of outdoor banquet the most.
There are many people and it’s lively!
As the host, Old Man Su naturally sat at the main table.
At the main table were Magistrate Xia, Old Man Wang, the village chief, and several respected elders in the village.
Of course, there is also the newly promoted scholar Su Chengyao.
Don’t underestimate this banquet, it is for Su Chengyao.
However, as a junior, Su Chengyao was responsible for pouring wine for these elders.
"Master Xiucai has poured us some wine, so we must not stop drinking until we are drunk!" The village chief excitedly said, "When Chengyao becomes a high-ranking official, we can show off to others. Master Su poured us some wine, didn't he?"
"Haven't you shown off enough?" Old Man Zhang joked, "Just count for yourself. How many years have you been showing off? The Emperor has dined with you, chatted with you..."
The village chief raised his neck and said, "Am I the only one showing off? Isn't it the whole village showing off?"
Old man Zhang, “…”
yes!
The whole village has been showing off about this for many years.
Thinking about it now, it still feels like a dream.
