Mrs. Tong smiled when she heard this, took her daughter's hand, and comforted: "Don't worry, I naturally won't ask you to suffer, how come my daughter is also the prefect's concubine, it is impossible to be pulled to be a stepping stone, isn't there still your eldest sister and Tong Qing?" ”

Mrs. Tong has a lot of relatives, the first three brothers, the first sister, a few years ago, when Tong Yao's mother died, several relatives also blushed for the coffin fee, and even said that they would no longer have contact with Tongfu, but in recent years, it has gradually seemed that there is no such memory, and the younger sister and sister are so affectionate.

"Naturally, Tong Qing's girl is still a little smart, not like Tong Yao's elm head, and she can't even say a pleasant word." Mrs. Tong's face changed when she mentioned Tong Yao.

patted Tong Rui's fingers, Mrs. Tong smiled: "Your aunt is not stupid, I naturally won't understand my words, and the marriage between the two families will naturally be wanted, although your grandmother has not had a lot of trouble with her mother's family in the past few years, but in the end, it is the meridians that are connected to the bones, and the soft words can't listen to a few words, and the young lady of our family naturally wants to marry one." ”

Hearing this, Tong Rui laughed: "Mother said that she wants the eldest sister to marry?" ”

Mrs. Tong looked at her daughter secretly, with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Tong Rui thought in her heart.

Compared with Tong Yao and Tong Qing, her mother is afraid that she hates Tong Yao more, Aunt Lin's life is in the hands of her mother, and Tong Qing naturally can't turn the sky upside down.

……

When the second young master returned to the house, the house naturally wanted to put up a lantern.

Needless to say, the excitement is naturally needless to say, and the people still happened to spend a lot of effort to arrange it.

On both sides of the path with bright lanterns, it no longer looks dark at this moment, the delicate weaving patterns, the big red cotton silk satin, hanging on the lamp, the garden is red and gorgeous, extremely festive.

"Say hello to my mother." Master Tong has a resolute face, a square face, thin lips slightly pursed, and a light smile on his face, not as thin as a white-faced scholar, his figure is quite burly, but he is not as strong as a strong man, wearing a black brocade robe, with two sleeves facing the wind, and walking with a beautiful demeanor.

It's just that there are a few lines on the eyebrows and eyes, and the ears and temples are a little white, which shows the age.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Mrs. Tong looked a little more energetic today, dressed in a dark red brocade robe, with delicate patterns, white hair with jasper and phoenix hairpins, and the neat hair combed with osmanthus hair oil was not a trace of messiness, but it looked two points majestic.

Mrs. Tong wore a long red dress, with countless delicate gold hairpins on her hairband, and walked staggeringly, beaded and jade, jingling, and full of luxury: "Master." With a hint of shyness, red lips, fat powder on the face, rouge, but also showed two points of delicateness.

Master Tong hadn't seen Mrs. Tong for a long time, and when he heard this, he smiled lightly on his side face.

Mrs. Tong blushed even more when she saw this, but the aunts behind her lowered their heads and didn't dare to raise them.

"Grandson greets grandmother." Tong He's loud voice resounded throughout the hall.

Old Madam Tong raised her old face, and when she heard the voice, she smiled, "Good grandson, come and tell me to take a look." ”

In just a moment, a pair of green and white palms were held between the palms of the old lady Tong.

The young man's young and white face came into view, with slender eyebrows, picturesque face, thin lips, black jade eyes, and a shallow smile, which really warmed the heart of Mrs. Tong.

"The young master is back, and the old lady can rest assured." Fang Huajiao pursed her lips shyly, glanced at the young man in the wind of Yushu, and smiled shyly at Mrs. Tong.

Madam Tong's face tightened, and she immediately looked up at Fang Hua's face and looked less friendly.

It's just that the maids in the hall pursed the corners of their lips one by one, with a light smile on their faces, and they all looked very happy.

Tong Yao stood on the side, her face was still so calm and waveless, looking at the scene of her relatives meeting, she seemed to have no feelings.

"Sister, smile, such a happy day." Tong Rui came to Tong Yao's side, watched her brother return, a little bit of showing off, and reached out to touch Tong Yao.

The other party cast a shallow look, did not answer, nodded, and forgot the matter.

The fingers under Tong Rui's sleeves were tense at the moment, and her eyes widened, seeing Tong Yao's indifferent reaction, the hatred in her heart quietly magnified a little, and her teeth were clenched together.

A group of servants behind Master Tong knelt on the ground, and a group of people in the room exchanged pleasantries for a long time before they were allowed to get up and retreat.

Tong Qing lifted the colorful embroidered long skirt, moved to Tong Yan's side in a few small steps, stretched out her slender white fingers and stroked the girl's head, "Good sister, look, this is the brother you haven't seen for a long time." ”

Tong Yan is Aunt Lin's youngest daughter, she is only five or six years old at the moment, with dark black eyes, and she looks at her sister helplessly, she is still an ignorant age.

The hall laughed for a long time, but the old man suddenly frowned.

"Where are Toshiyuki and Keiyuki?"

The smile on Mrs. Tong's face suddenly froze.

"Minzhi is in the study, I was reading late at night last night, and I was a little tired...... "Mrs. Tong's face changed, and she said quite a little worded, watching Master Tong's face change again and again, but she gradually couldn't speak, and at the end, she also stopped.

Everyone knows that the second master Tong Min lingers in the flowers, and he doesn't even want a family, where can he talk about reading.

On that side, Second Mrs. Tong was already sobbing lowly.

In an instant, the hall suddenly fell into an eerie tranquility.

After a while, Master Tong sighed, looking very helpless.

Qin Yu stood behind Ling Huai, her head lowered tightly, the people in the three layers in front of her were pressed together, but the string in her heart was getting tighter and tighter.

"Where's Keiyuki?" As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall changed, and it eased up by two points.

It's just that Mrs. Tong hooked the corners of her lips at this moment and laughed: "I don't know, I went out to drink with my classmates yesterday, and I was drunk, don't be angry, master." ”

When Mrs. Tong heard this, she looked at Mrs. Tong who was smiling, with a hint of imperceptible strictness on her face.

Qin Yu stood far behind, hanging her head, but the corners of her face and mouth inexplicably showed a mysterious smile.

Who doesn't know, Master Tong of the Tong Governor's Mansion is most disgusted with other people's drinking, not to mention that this happened to his own son.

Master Tong's face was not good at the moment, but he didn't have a seizure, and said to Mrs. Tong with a side face: "I'll call Qingzhi to come to my study later." ”

Aunt Liu, who was behind Mrs. Tong, hung her head lowly, and her fingers under her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.

Tong Yao's originally expressionless face slowly turned into a strange color, raised her head, and looked at Mrs. Tong with dark pupils quite meaningfully.

"The concubine knows." Mrs. Tong covered her red lips and smiled lightly, "Don't talk about this yet, the concubine hasn't seen He'er for a few days, come over and ask my mother to take a look." ”

On that side, Tong He let go of Old Madam Tong's hand, and slowly walked in front of Mrs. Tong, who had not been seen for many days.

Mrs. Tong's smile couldn't be stopped, she reached out and stroked her son's collar clip, and said with a smile: "Why haven't you seen you for a few days, so thin?" ”
