After Tong Yan's ceremony, some people began to hand messages to Mr. Tong to ask for marriage, but Mr. Tong was obviously not satisfied. Most of the people who handed over the posts were scattered officials, and their foundations were thin, and Master Tong couldn't look down on them. There are also some posts handed by merchants, but most of them are for the unwieldy concubines, and Master Tong is unwilling. But the Shi family and the Su family, which Master Tong had been thinking about in his heart, had not moved, Master Tong was a little anxious, obviously looking at Su Hao still had some interest in Tong Yan, why didn't he have it.

And Tong Yan knew that someone was coming to ask for a kiss, and he began to be anxious. Although since ancient times, children's marriages have been based on the words of the parents' orders, but I have only been in the capital for two or three months, and my father is in a hurry to marry himself? She didn't come to the capital to get married, she just wanted to live a life with her father's pain like when she was a child, and then be filial to her father. Tong Yan's anxiety was even visible to the seven-year-old Tong Xunfan, so the little fart boy gave Tong Yan an idea and asked Tong Yan to go directly to Master Tong and explain Tong Yan's own meaning. Tong Xunfan said that as long as he has any requirements, Master Tong will work hard to do it, Tong Yan is the daughter of Master Tong, and he should also listen to Tong Yan. Obviously, Tong Xunfan's children have not yet figured out the status of him and Tong Yan in Master Tong, and they are basically heaven and earth. And Tong Yan's little sister didn't figure it out, Master Tong didn't regard her as his own daughter.

In short, Tong Yan went to find Master Tong like this, and told Master Tong bluntly that he didn't want to get married.

Master Tong was sitting in the study, his eyes staring at Tong Yan, a little vicious, and he didn't speak.

Tong Yan stood under Master Tong with his neck bent, his eyes staring at the floor, a little scared, and he didn't speak.

Steward Tong stood at the door of the study with shaking hands, staring at the fragments of teacups on the ground, a little like he wanted to go over and pick them up, but he still didn't speak.

The temperature in the study was cold.

Here's the thing. Tong Yan came to the study and told Master Tong that he didn't want to marry for the time being, but before he finished speaking, Master Tong yelled at Tong Yan and threw the teacup, which scared Tong Yan.

After a moment of silence in the study, it was Master Tong who opened his mouth first: "Yan'er, you have reached the age when you should say goodbye, and my father wants you to stay in this family for a few more years, but this is not a small place, but if you haven't married until next year, then you will be regarded as an old girl, it is not only your face that you have lost, but also the face of the Tong family, you will be laughed at when you go out for your father, how can your brother marry a daughter-in-law of a good family in the future." "Master Tong decided to take a roundabout route, and he couldn't confess his thoughts.

Tong Yan bit his lower lip and didn't speak, just saw a few tears falling to the ground.

"Besides, I didn't plan to marry you off so soon." Master Tong said to Tong Yan, wanting to take a sip of tea, but found that the cup had been dropped by himself, and glanced at the housekeeper, who hurriedly went out to let people make tea again.

"Yan'er, you have not been by your father's side since you were a child, and your father has a lot of guilt for you, I hope to compensate you in the marriage event, find you a good family, and live comfortably after marriage, so, don't look at so many posts these days, there is no family for my father." That's because I haven't seen the right one yet.

"Your mother left early, and I can't see you getting married, but your mother also hopes that you can have a good home, and she can feel at ease in the spirit of heaven, right?" Master Tong moved out of Tong Yan's mother, although he couldn't even remember the appearance of his wife.

"Now that you are in time, you can go out to some parties and get to know more ladies and misses, which is also very helpful to you." This is to ask Tong Yan to go out and make an appearance quickly.

"The implementation family or the Su family is a good family for you, you have seen, the son of the two families is a noble brother, and he will be a general in the future, a suave and suave person, who has the ability to do business since childhood, and you will enjoy endless blessings after marrying one of them." Let's get to the point.

"Su Gongzi invited you to enjoy the flowers before, and it was a little interesting to you, Shi Gongzi specially sent someone to find a sedan chair to send you back, and it is not thin for you, why don't you seize this opportunity?" Master Tong broke the sky - no, no, he broke his own careful thoughts.

Tong Yan's heart is rolling, daddy is this to let himself be embraced? How could it be, how did the daughter of a good family do this kind of thing, my father is a scholar, he must not be able to think of this kind of idea, it must not be this meaning, he must have thought about it. Tong Yan looked up at Master Tong, a little puzzled.

Master Tong also realized that what he said was a bit explicit, and hurriedly came back: "Of course, my father doesn't want to see you do anything that humiliates the family. ”

Tong Yan's face was slightly red, and he nodded slightly. It turned out that I still misunderstood my father, and sure enough, my father didn't plan to marry him quickly, but he was worried that he didn't have a good marriage and would be affected in the future. At this time, the housekeeper came in with the freshly brewed tea, Tong Yan hurriedly took it and handed it to Master Tong, and said softly to Master Tong: "Father, it was Yan'er who misunderstood you, don't be angry." Yan'er understands that you are all for Yan'er's good. Yan'er wants to be filial to you for a while longer, which is also Yan'er's sincere words, I only hope that my father can meet Yan'er's wish. ”

Master Tong turned out to be tea, and nodded with satisfaction, but he muttered in his heart, you should marry into a wealthy family early, and let your father and me live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives, which is filial piety.

After such a fuss in the study, Master Tong felt that he had mentioned Tong Yan and asked her to grasp Su Hao and Shi Tianyu well, but Tong Yan felt that he had misunderstood what Master Tong meant, and Master Tong still considered her thoughtfully, and felt that he should do his best to do things according to Master Tong's instructions, and not let Master Tong down.

Tong Yan's ceremony is completed, which means that Tong Yan can officially enter the social circle of the capital. Therefore, among the posts received by Tongfu during this time, there were also one or two invitations from the Beijing Ladies Circle, inviting Tong Yan to participate in the poetry meeting or visit the garden. Tong Yan can't compose poetry, which she is very self-aware, so she wrote back to the post of the poetry club and decided to go to the garden party.

The purpose of the garden party is to let these women who do not go out of the door on weekdays have a place to drink tea and chat, and also let the unmarried men and daughters of each family get together, pull a red line, which lady if you fancy whose daughter or son wants to get married, you can also take this opportunity to see the appearance, temperament, and conduct of the person in the photo. Tong Yan naturally didn't know this, but he just felt that since the wife of the imperial doctor had been invited, he didn't need to know these talents like the poetry club, and his father hoped that he would get to know more ladies, so of course he had to be invited to the appointment.

Look at the date, there are still a few days to go, you have to prepare well, call Xinghua Chunlan at the moment, and ask about the various precautions of the garden party.
