CHAPTER XVII

A cool breeze blew, and it was early autumn. Although the days are still hot, the nights are already cool. After returning from Zuo Xiangfu, Tong Yan sat alone in the courtyard with a rag doll, looking at Shang Xuanyue who emitted silver light. It has been more than four months since I left my grandfather's house, and I don't know if my grandfather and grandmother are okay, so I wrote several letters, but I never replied. Although his maternal grandparents are illiterate, Zhang Xiucai in the village will be kind enough to help the illiterate people read letters every time, and he must have given his faith to his grandparents, and Zhang Xiucai will also help the people in the village write letters, but why didn't his maternal grandparents reply to him. Tong Yan let out a long sigh, maybe his grandparents didn't want to disturb his life, when he left, although his grandparents were reluctant to go by themselves, they thought that they could live a better life by their father's side, and persuaded themselves to go to the capital. But when I really got here, I wasn't as free as I used to be in the country, and I couldn't even laugh like I used to. Thinking of this, Tong Yan's unrestrained smile appeared in front of Tong Yan's eyes at the garden party, and he sighed long again.

Master Tong has not asked Tong Yan about his homework recently, but often asks Tong Yan to go out to entertain the parties of the ladies and ladies of each family, and will also take Tong Yan to some poetry meetings, but Tong Yan really feels the malice of the ladies and ladies of each family, but he doesn't want to go against the will of Master Tong, so he still goes every time, but he comes back very unhappy every time. Tong Yan really wanted to go back to his grandfather's house in Jiangnan, and always felt that only that hut and the dilapidated courtyard wall were his real home.

Miao Yuyu, who has never broken his word, took Su Hao and Shi Tianyu's two bodyguards to Tong's Mansion in the early morning a few days later to pick up Tong Yan to go out to play. Tong Yan is very happy, he can have a friend to play with, even if there are two evil gods next to him, he feels happy.

In addition to Tong Fu, Miao Yuyu pulled Tong Yan into the carriage, and immediately turned out two sets of men's clothes from inside, threw Tong Yan a set, and changed into a set for himself. Tong Yan immediately understood the spirit, quickly changed into men's clothes, Miao Yuyu combed himself with a man's bun, wiped off the makeup on his face with a handkerchief, and looked like a delicate scholar. Miao Yuyu turned around and asked Tong Yan to tie her hair, and smiled at Tong Yan slyly, when she went out in the capital, she had to wear a hat to dress for her daughter's house, which was not as convenient as a man's at all, so it was necessary to change her disguise.

As soon as it was tidied up, the carriage stopped. Miao Yuyu and Tong Yan jumped out of the carriage quickly, and Su Hao, Shi Tianyu, Miao Yu and Tong Yan's girl were stunned instantly. This, this, how to explain to Mrs. Shi (Master Tong) when you go back! The hearts of the people wailed.

Miao Yuyu happily sent his maid back, saying that it was a son-in-law, and it was not good to take two maids shopping; Tong Yan looked pitifully at Xinghua Chunlai, who would rather die than leave, and finally made Xinghua Chunlan soft and agreed to find a teahouse to sit and wait for the four of them to return. Su Hao didn't care, anyway, it wasn't my owe to be scolded and looked at the sun...... Shi Tianyu...... Well, the thing was already holding his carriage to the coachman to take him home, and he felt very hesitant and nervous.

The two girls were free from the shackles of skirts and hats, and happily started their trip to the East Market.

It turns out that the man is really convenient and can shuttle through the crowd unscrupulously. Miao Yuyu and Tong Yan are like wild dogs...... No, Musang, on the streets, in the shops, in the crowd of people, after a while, their hands were full of all kinds of gadgets, Su Hao and Shi Tianyu also carried several bags of snacks and snacks in their hands, and they had to keep up with the pace of the two girls while paying various bills.

The group of four had lunch in Juxiang Pavilion, and when Miao Yuyu and Tong Yan couldn't stuff it anymore, they burped loudly at the same time, and they felt refreshed. Su Hao and Shi Tianyu's faces were dark. But the wild ...... Where did Ma get tired so easily, rested for a while, and then went to the Yiyi Teahouse in the East Market. The storyteller of this teahouse is the most famous in the capital, and this time it came out, of course, it can't be missed. Well, there is no need to chase and run, Su Hao and Shi Tianyu also fulfilled their wishes, sitting in the noisy teahouse and listening to the story with the two girls who were laughing and leaning forward. After listening to the book for an afternoon, Su Hao and Shi Tianyu thought that this "pleasant" day was finally over, and they could finally go home, but Miao Yu's brisk words floated in their ears: "Let's go to Ningxiang Pavilion, I heard that Fang Shi Niang's song is the best in the capital!" ”

Shi Tianyu looked at Su Hao, and his eyes conveyed a message: You are in charge of your territory.

Su Hao looked back at Shi Tianyu sadly: Why don't you call the shots, cousin.

Yes, the fact is that Su Hao did not take the initiative to appear, but was pulled by Shi Tianyu's children.

So Su Hao is very sad now, very complaining, very complaining! Shi Tianyu, do you know how hard I try to keep Tong Yan away from your house and away from me, why did your cousin who suddenly jumped out drag Tong Yan to Zuo Xiang's mansion and in front of me, and because your cousin is Mrs. Shi's heart, she can't retaliate, you can't flirt, you can't have a reason to object! If Tong Yan marries you Shi Tianyu, you deserve it!

Tong Yan heard Miao Yuyu's proposal, and immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, listen to the song, where is it?" "Well, in fact, the Tongyan children don't know what the Ningxiang Pavilion is. Tong Yan's approval made Su Hao and Shi Tianyu lie down instantly, is this funny?

In the end, the two big men worked hard and said that their mouths were dry, so they dispelled Miss Miao's mind of visiting the kiln, picked up Xinghua Chunlan, and went to Su Hao's Yunshang Xuan to change the clothes and comb the hair of the two eldest ladies, and then sent the two of them home separately.

Well, Second Young Master Su is very unhappy and unhappy today, and he can't play with Miss Miao's idea, and his brother is also tired enough, so Second Young Master Su wrote this account on Tong Yan's head again. Tong Yan was very wronged.

Tong Yan, who was bathing when he got home, suddenly shivered, looked around, and found that there was a gap in the window, and hurriedly closed Chunlan tightly, but an ominous premonition still came to his face.

This night, Tong Yan had a dream, dreaming that her grandfather and grandmother came to the capital to see her, and she had a happy meal with her father, Tong Yan in the dream smiled very sweetly, when everyone was on the rise, Su Hao actually broke in and broke the silver hairpin of his mother on Tong Yan's head into two sections. Tong Yan woke up suddenly, it was pitch black all around, there was no grandfather and grandmother, no father, and no Su Hao, only the snoring of Chunlan in the outhouse, and the sweet smell of incense in the house. Tong Yan patted his heart, turned over and continued to sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, it rained lightly in the capital, and the raindrops fell on the leaves in the courtyard, making a rustling sound, making people just want to be lazy and lie under the covers. Then, a scream in Tong Yan's courtyard broke the silence of the autumn rain.
