CHAPTER XXI
Because Master Tong may be treated as a ** and be clicked off by the emperor to make an example of other monkeys in the court, and this possibility is very high, therefore, Master Tong has recently begun to be anxious to marry Tong Yan. The official eunuch Master Tong is not counting on it, and now the people in the court are standing far away and waiting to see how Master Tong will take the next step. The wealthy businessmen are now more or less inextricably linked with the court officials, and of course they are not willing to deal with Master Tong, who is really anxious.
Similarly, because everyone didn't know what the result would be for Master Tong, they just felt that the result was not very good, so Mrs. Shi no longer agreed to let Miao Yuyu go to see Tong Yan. At this time, although Tong Yan stayed in the yard and didn't go out, he also felt that the atmosphere at home was a little weird, and his father seemed to be busier, and from time to time there were matchmaker-like people who came to see his father. Tong Yan was a little surprised, didn't Daddy say that he was not in a hurry to marry himself? Why did a matchmaker start to come to the door to say goodbye?
On this day, Tong Yanting said that another matchmaker came to Tongfu, and some couldn't sit still, and he faintly felt that something was wrong. When Chunlan came back and told Tong Yan that the matchmaker had left, Tong Yan hurriedly went to the study, wanting to ask Master Tong what happened. When passing through the garden, I happened to meet the subordinate from the gatehouse who was heading to Tong Yan's courtyard with Miao Yuyu. Tong Yan was really happy to see Miao Yuyu, except that Miao Yuyu came to see her once when she was sick, the two had not seen each other for a while, thinking that her father could go there sooner or later, it was better to chat and drink tea with Miao Yuyu first, and discuss where to play, she has been bored at home recently, and she has been bored with spider webs.
Tong Yan let people put refreshments in the pavilion in the courtyard, and pulled Miao Yu to enjoy the lotus flowers in the yard, although the lotus flowers after the autumn rain are not as gorgeous as those that bloom in midsummer, they have a unique flavor, Tong Yan likes it very much. At this time, Miao Yuyu's face was also like a lotus flower in the pool, with a touch of sadness. Tong Yan asked Miao Yu with a smile: "Sister Yu, what's wrong with you, your face is sad, is it because Mrs. Shi is going to give you a kiss, and she doesn't let you choose your husband's family?" ”
Miao Yuyu has indeed reached the age of saying that he is married, and every time he meets, he will cancel Tong Yan with the matter of marriage, but now Miao Yuyu has no smile at all when he hears Tong Yan say this. Tong Yan felt strange, what's wrong, Miao Yuyu usually has a big smile all the time, and she is very envious, why don't you even bend the corners of her mouth now.
Miao Yuyu's palm covered Tong Yan's hand, sighed, and said, "Sister Yan, my cousin won't let me come to see you now, I sneaked here under the pretext of going out to buy things." ”
The nursery rhyme is even more strange, although he has never seen Mrs. Shi, but he also knows that Mrs. Shi is not against Miao Yuyu and herself, and now Mrs. Shi is not letting Miao Yuyu come to see her, this is really strange, she has been at home all this time, and she has not gone out to cause trouble.
And Miao Yuyu didn't pay attention to Tong Yan's doubts, and continued: "You are at home all day, you don't know a lot of things happening outside, and I can't just mess with right and wrong, but there is something I want to tell you, you ...... Don't be upset. ”
"Sister Yu, what's the matter? Why do you talk so weirdly, it's not like you. Tong Yan blinked, looked at Miao Yuyu seriously, and felt that what Miao Yuyu wanted to say must be very important.
"Sister Yan, you ...... Kindness...... Do you think that your father wants to marry you off quickly? ”
"Hahahaha, Sister Yu, what's wrong with you? Didn't we talk about this before, my father wanted to help me find a good husband as soon as possible, but he didn't say that he wanted me to marry immediately. ”
"No, I heard that your father wants to find you a rich family to marry, and the reason why you are still in the boudoir is because he hasn't met the right person. Your dad ...... him."
"Sister Yu, what's wrong with you? How can you speculate about my father like this? Could it be that Su Hao's bastard said something bad to you again? You can't listen to his nonsense, there is absolutely no such thing, my father is very good to me, everything is for my sake! Tong Yan excitedly interrupted Miao Yuyu, how could it be, why did even Miao Yuyu think about his father like this, it must be Su Hao, it must be what he said to Miao Yuyu, and Miao Yuyu will come to her to talk about this.
Miao Yuyu bit her lip, she knew that Tong Yan would definitely say that she was blind, but the situation that she recently inquired about from Shi Tianyu and Su Hao was that Master Tong wanted to marry Tong Yan quickly, even if he couldn't keep Master Tong's wealth for half his life, he had to keep the road to the imperial examination after Tong Xunfan.
Seeing Miao Yuyu's face embarrassed, there was something difficult to say, Tong Yan was also a little helpless, why did everyone think that Daddy had something else to think about him. Even if Dad really wants to use his own family affairs to make some articles, but he is not as beautiful as a flower, he can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he can't be a housekeeper. Tong Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Miao Yuyu: "Sister Yu, don't worry about me, that's my father, of course it's good for me." ”
Miao Yuyu couldn't help but pity Tong Yan, this girl was really too simple, so she couldn't bear to pierce her dreams, she was also the death of her parents, and she had no news of her only brother, of course she knew Tong Yan's feelings for her father, but it was worth it to let Master Tong treat Tong Yan as his own daughter. Miao Yuyu's shining eyes stared at Tong Yan and asked her: "Then recently your father found a matchmaker to show you relatives everywhere, do you know?" ”
Tong Yan lowered his eyes: "This is indeed a fact, but it doesn't mean that my father will hastily set my family affairs, my father will definitely ask my wishes, I have told my father that I want to honor him for two more years." ”
Miao Yuyu really hates iron and steel, seeing that he can't move Tong Yan, he can only be ruthless, and design to let Tong Yan see the true thoughts of Master Tong clearly, I only hope that Tong Yan will not be too sad after seeing his father's sincerity.
"Sister Yan, if, I said if, your father really has bad intentions, don't be too sad, it's not worth it for this kind of person." After that, Miao Yuyu got up and prepared to say goodbye, she wanted to go back to her cousin and Brother Hao, and play a play, so that Tong Yan could see her father clearly, maybe she could send Tong Yan away before Master Tong had an accident, and try not to let Tong Yan be implicated in the court.
Tong Yan sat in a daze, looking at Miao Yuyu who left in a hurry, thinking about Miao Yuyu's last instructions, she shook her head, she believed that what her father did must be good for herself, although her father recently found a matchmaker, but it is not necessarily a bad thing, she wants to find her father and tell her father that she does not want to get married.
