Tong Yan just got up and was about to go to see Master Tong, but when he saw Xu's mother walking quickly to the pavilion, it seemed that she was looking for her, so she hurriedly greeted her. Mother Xu was full of spring breeze, gave a salute to Tong Yan, and began to congratulate Tong Yan: "Miss, happy event, happy event." Tong Yan was confused, what a happy event, how could she not know, if she had to say that there was a happy event, it could only be a rash on her body. Mother Xu looked at Tong Yan with a puzzled face, and laughed: "Miss, you don't know yet, let's go, the master is looking for you, come with me to see the master." After that, he hurriedly beckoned Tong Yan to follow him to the hall.

Master Tong was sitting in the hall with a smile at this time, looking at the Geng post in his hand, which was just sent by Zheng Matchmaker, the eight characters on the Geng post were the sons of a landlord's family in the suburbs of Beijing, and he came to ask Tong Yan to fill the house, and he also promised Master Tong that if this family affair was settled, he would definitely give the Tong family no less than fifty dowry.

Yes, the landlord's son-in-law! Yes, it's definitely filling! Master Tong knows that he is no longer able to climb to any dignitaries, and this time the matter in the court, even if he is not dismissed, it is impossible to make a name for himself in the court. Although the family affairs of this landlord's family, in the past, Master Tong was absolutely too lazy to even look at it, but today is not as good as the original, although the landlord's family is not as good as those scattered merchants who once voted for Geng, but at this juncture, it is not bad; As for the problem of filling the house, it is not a big problem, filling the house is better than a concubine, and the housewife of a large family is respected; And there is also a dowry of fifty lifts, and when Tong Yan gets married, he will carry a dowry of thirty sets by himself, and he will also make money; When Tong Yan's father-in-law and mother-in-law go in the future, Tong Yan will be the one who is in charge, so he can't let the life of his father and son be unpleasant. What's more, now that Tong Yan and Tong Xunfan are getting along well, Tong Yan will not look at Tong Xunfan in the future. Master Tong felt that at this time, this person was very suitable, very suitable, and the right one couldn't be more suitable.

Tong Yan entered the hall and saw Master Tong smiling, holding the red post in his hand, and had a faint bad premonition in his heart. Seeing that Tong Yan had come, Master Tong slightly closed the corners of his mouth that reached the root of his ears, motioned for Tong Yan to sit down, and asked Mother Xu to hand the Geng post to Tong Yan: "Yan'er, my father has shown you a family affair, this person is a match for you, and his family is well-off, although he is doing house-filling, but the family situation is also simple, there is only one younger brother and a younger sister in the family, the younger brother has become married, and the younger sister has already married." ”

Tong Yan was shocked, why did he talk about his own family affairs, or fill the house for others! wanted to open his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Master Tong with a wave of his hand: "My father also knows that I have wronged you by filling the house, but my father has also inquired, this person is affectionate, and he has never carried a concubine to his home, even if his wife has passed away for two years, he has never carried anyone to his family." Yan'er, ah......"

Tong Yan can't hear the words of Master Tong anymore, what Master Tong said has made her like five thunders, her father actually set her a family affair, but she herself doesn't know anything, and the family affair that Daddy set for her is still to fill the house! Do the filling! She is a big girl with yellow flowers, and she is going to fill the house for an old man! What Miao Yuyu just said exploded in her Tong Yan's ears, "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." "No, no, how could it be, I must have heard it wrong, how could my father do this to her.

"Yan'er? Yan'er? Yan'er! Old Man Tong looked at Tong Yan's shocked expression, he was very displeased, and his face fell, "Yan'er, what, what are your dissatisfaction with this family business?" ”

Tong Yan cleaned up his mood, didn't dare to look at Master Tong's eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Father, daughter...... My daughter doesn't want to get married yet......"

Master Tong frowned, is this not married? That's not going to work! "Yan'er! The marriage of the children's family has always respected the words of the parents and the matchmaker, what are you talking about! ”

Tong Yan looked at his toes, and even his voice was crying: "Father, the daughter knows that the daughter's family affairs are decided by the father, but the daughter just wants to stay by her father's side for a while longer......"

"Spend more time? Then let outsiders laugh at me, can't Tong Huai's daughter get married? ”

"No, Daddy, no, my daughter didn't mean to let outsiders see the joke......"

"Then what are you upset about? Cry! What do you have to cry about! What's wrong with you like this? ”

"Daddy, you're letting your daughter go over to fill the house! Daddy......"

"What's wrong with the house-filling? People are honest, don't attract bees and butterflies, don't lift concubines, you haven't been blessed in the past! ”

"Daddy!" Tong Yan raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a pair of teary eyes, with anger. This man is her father, although he does not have the demeanor of his youth, he can still see his handsome face in the past, and it is this man who is her father, and now he wants to marry himself out to fill the house. She didn't want to, she didn't want to, she felt heartache even more, how could her father treat herself like this.

Master Tong took a deep breath, collected his temper, and said to Tong Yan: "Yan'er, my father has been quite unhappy in the court recently, and I don't know how long I can take care of you and Xun Fan." This Qin family promised that if this family business was completed, they would give a dowry of fifty lifts, and ......"

"So, for the fifty bride price, did you sell me?" Tong Yan's tears dripped down his face, and he was sold by his father like this?

"Sell? Childlike! You! You! Master Tong was already angry, a tea bowl was thrown at Tong Yan's feet and shattered, the tea splashed Tong Yan's dress, and wet Tong Yan's embroidered shoes. Tong Yan didn't cringe as usual, but straightened up, stood up and took a step towards Master Tong: "Isn't it?" ”

Master Tong pretended to cough twice to hide his embarrassment, although he did sell this daughter: "Yan'er, I am incompetent as a father, but this is a safe family matter, and you have married ......"

"I always thought that you loved me and were good to me, but I was blind." Tong Yan didn't wait for Master Tong to finish speaking, and calmly interrupted Master Tong's words, "Really, I'm really blind." I can't do it, I won't marry this person! After speaking, Tong Yan turned around and left, and went straight to her yard, she wanted to go home, back to her real home, the home where her grandfather and grandmother lived.

Master Tong didn't expect Tong Yan to suddenly be tough, Master Tong was angry in the house, swept all the things at hand on the ground and smashed them, only the Geng post was still in his hand, look at the Geng post, Master Tong called the housekeeper: "Come on, give me a good look at the eldest lady, don't even let her out of the door!" ”

In this way, Tong Yan was grounded as soon as she returned to the courtyard, let alone going back to Jiangnan, and now she can't even get out of the door.
