Chapter 231 Charcoal Fire Poisoning
The cold night wind blew by, and the unbearable leaves fell slowly, silently.
Lamps were lit in the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion, and no one of the three kneeling father and son spoke, not knowing what they were thinking.
After almost half an hour, Tang Gang's legs were stiff from his knees and his head was a little dizzy. When he moved, he saw Tang Mo, whose face was red and his forehead was sweating. He asked casually, "Are you feeling well?"
Tang Mo looked up. He didn't dare to say that he was wearing too many clothes. He only said that the room was a little hot.
Seeing that he was unusually hot, Tang Gang turned around and looked at Tang Rong, who had a normal expression, and said nothing more. The father and son continued to kneel, the candlelight flickered, and occasionally sparks exploded with a 'pop' sound, and then returned. peaceful.
As time went by, Tang Mo became hotter and hotter, his forehead began to sweat, and his vest was already soaked with sweat. He was closest to the charcoal basin and felt the strongest fire. At this moment, he only felt that his mouth was dry and his breathing was difficult. He thought... Wasn't it because his ancestors wanted to punish him when he saw him kneeling insincerely, or why did he feel his back was burning?
Tang Gang didn't look too good, and his breathing was not as smooth as it was at first. Even Tang Rong was breathing heavily, but he didn't sweat as he was wearing little clothing.
Tang Gang turned his head and looked at Tang Mo again, seeing that he was indeed a little embarrassed, and thinking that he had done his best today, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back first. Your grandfather will not blame you."
Tang Mo didn't expect such a good thing, so he pretended to be weak, "My son is indeed having difficulty breathing. Why don't father and elder brother go back and rest early? We have to work on errands tomorrow, not to mention that the elder brother has just recovered from a serious illness. Didn’t the doctor say that my father should get more rest? My grandfather would feel bad if he broke his knees."
"Well, your elder brother and I will kneel for a while longer, then go back."
"Yes, my son will go down first."
He kowtowed and got up, breathed a few times on purpose, and slowly exited the ancestral hall, then quickly returned to Qiushi Courtyard. Xin An was startled when he entered the house. He raised his head and saw that he was taking off his clothes, "So Coming back soon?"
It's not even midnight yet.
"Don't mention it now. You were wrong. The old man came prepared. He made two big charcoal pots and burned the house. It wasn't cold at all. I was sweating all over from wearing so many clothes. The old man thought I was sick."
"Is there hot water? I'll wash it off."
After saying that, he stood by the table and drank water. Only after half the bottle of water was down did he feel a lot more comfortable.
After a lot of tossing, Tang Mo finally lay down on the bed and said in a comfortable voice, "The old man wants to come out all the time. He wants to kneel in the ancestral hall and is afraid of the cold. He is not sincere at all."
"The charcoal fire is burning brightly. I'm the closest to the brazier. Not to mention the heat, I'm still a little dizzy. I feel more comfortable when I go out and breathe. Oops, I'm still a little nauseous now."
Xin An turned his head and said, "Burning two charcoal pots without opening the window?"
"What kind of window should be opened in the ancestral hall?"
Tang Mo froze as soon as he finished speaking, and then said in shock, "Isn't it because of charcoal poisoning?"
There was a lot of charcoal burning in winter. Fortunately for ordinary people, there was always some air leakage in their houses and few accidents occurred. But the houses of dignitaries and dignitaries were nice, so charcoal poisoning was not uncommon. In the past two years, all the empresses in the palace were affected by it, and a young lady died in infancy. Prince.
The ancestral hall in the Hou Mansion is not particularly large and grand, and the windows are not opened all year round. When the father and son knelt in tonight, the door was still closed.
"broken."
Tang Mo got up and grabbed some clothes and put them on, "I felt hot all over and thought it was because I wore too much clothes. My mouth was dry and I thought it was too hot. This is the symptom of charcoal fire poisoning."
"More than half an hour has passed, old man, please stop."
Why bother with this day in and day out?
When Tang Mo arrived, Tang Gang was about to go back. He stumbled when he got up and fell down gracefully. Tang Rong went to help him, but fell unconscious after a while of dizziness. "Father."
Tang Mo opened the door and let the cold wind from outside blow in. Lai Lai held a small stone mortar in his arms. There was a white radish in the stone mortar. He squatted down and started making radish juice on the spot.
At this time, Liu Chang also came with the government doctor. He knew it was charcoal poisoning just by smelling the strong smell of charcoal fire. He first gave the two people water, and then drank radish juice with radish meat. Tang Gang, who was full of spicy food, finally Feeling relieved.
Tang Rong also woke up, feeling extremely speechless and not wanting to say a word more.
"Please take two more deep breaths, Lord Marquis, to refresh the turbid breath in your lungs. Fortunately, the Second Young Master discovered it in time, and it will be fine after a sleep."
Tang Gang did as he was told, and as expected he felt much clearer again. He felt a little scared in his heart. Knowing that it was Tang Mo who responded promptly, there was appreciation in his eyes, "Thank you for your alertness."
"It's fine that my father and elder brother are fine."
In fact, Tang Mo was delayed for a while on the way here. It wasn't that he meant it, he was just debating whether to act like he didn't know what to do. If they both lost their jobs at the same time, wouldn't the title go to him?
Such a God-given opportunity, if you miss it, you will never get a second chance.
But in the end, this thought couldn't overcome his conscience, and he couldn't be cold-blooded, so he still came.

Qing Mo helped Tang Rong back to Chunhua Courtyard. At this time, Tao Yiran was sleeping soundly and had no idea what was going on. Tang Rong just sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to think about what to do next, but he didn't know if it was right or wrong. The reason for the poisoning was that my brain was not only drowsy but also in a mess, so I could only lie down and sleep.
Thinking about what happened just now, he frowned even more. He was dragged to kneel in the ancestral hall, but he was poisoned by charcoal fire for no apparent reason. In the end, he owed Tang Mo a favor. This was a life-saving grace. In the future, he would be punished whenever Tang Mo did anything. They all have reasons to refute.
When I think about this, I feel depressed and can't sleep!
Tang Mo sent it to Tang Gang personally. After receiving the news, Wang prepared warm water, "Amitabha, fortunately the second boy discovered it quickly, otherwise Guo Guo would not dare to think about it. The windows of the ancestral hall are not opened all year round, and there is incense and charcoal fire. Even if you are not poisoned, you will feel short of breath.”
Tang Gang took a deep breath and said it was the blessing of his ancestors. He looked up at Tang Mo and said, "You should go and rest too."
"Yes, my son has retired."
Tang Mo turned around and left. The night wind was a bit cold. He couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had in his heart at the moment. He waited until he went back to bed before talking about the conflicts in his heart. Xin'an yawned, "We want revenge. We don't want the two people next door to suffer. People are easy to live with, but if we become like them, cold-blooded and ruthless, then what is the difference between us and them before? "
"Tao Yiran is pregnant. I wanted to get rid of it quietly for her, but just thinking about it for a moment made me feel hairy, thinking that I still can't do anything big."
Tang Mo was curious, "What did you think of letting her give birth in the end?"
"Why not?"
Xin An opened his eyes, "I really want to know if the person I was born with is the one from my previous life. If it is true,"
As long as that **** dares to touch the ground, she can make him regret ever coming to this world.
"Born and then killed?"
Xin An rolled his eyes at her and said, "How could a person with a bodhisattva heart like me think of such a thing? My biological father is the best at sending his son on his way. Why do you need me to do so much?"
Tang Mo raised his eyebrows, thinking that this woman was going to put aside the deep hatred in her previous life and become a holy mother, but she didn't expect that her methods were even more vicious.
