Sun Tu was also a little surprised, this matter was too much of a coincidence, how could he happen to help someone twice and just help a family? However, when I thought that the slave I met that day was called Tong Zhuang, I was also relieved, they were all surnamed Tong, and it was natural for the family to be reasonable.

At this time, the young man who was still a little sick had quickly come to Sun Tu and said, "The benefactor is above, please accept Tong Mu's worship." ”

"Tong Gongzi has too many gifts, and he doesn't dare to accept this big gift." Sun Tu also hurriedly replied.

While he was talking, Tong Rui and several people also heard the sound and walked out, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw this situation: "Second son, why are you here?" ”

"It's the third steward, don't you know, this Sun Gongzi is my life-saving benefactor......" Tong Mu explained casually, and then took Sun Tu's hand: "Sun Gongzi, please come into the house and sit down to talk, I have to thank you well." ”

At the same time, a few of the house slaves who followed over there had already come to Tong Rui's side and briefly told Sun Tu about curing Tong Mu's emergency illness in Wuqiu Town, which made the three stewards of the Tong family suddenly moved, and the original prejudice against Sun Tu quickly dissipated.

It seems that he is still the heart of a villain to the belly of the other party's gentleman, and his insistence on leaving just now is not a means of retreating at all, but he really doesn't want to accept his own return, what a kind of mind this is, it is really awe-inspiring.

Thinking of this, Tong Rui also hurriedly stepped forward, and persuaded his young master with a smile: "Yes, Sun Gongzi, you saved the two young masters of my Tong family, if my Tong family doesn't express their gratitude and let you leave like this, once it spreads, others will really poke our backbone." Please don't make it difficult for me to wait. ”

Tong Mu was also stunned when he heard this, and then he understood that Sun Tu appeared here and there was such a change, which made him even more respectful, and said repeatedly: "Please also ask Sun Gongzi not to shirk, let me thank you for saving my life this time." Also, if my uncle and his old man know that you saved me and Yuan'er, they will be very happy. As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Tu a few more times.

Under such hospitality, Sun Tu is no longer good at pretending to be high, after all, it is too much. So he said: "It's just that the housekeeper is still in the store, and I really can't rest assured that she is out alone." ”

"That's not a problem. Cherish the ink-" Tong Mu immediately turned his head and instructed his scholar: "You take a few people to bring back Sun Gongzi's family and things." I also asked Sun Gongzi to tell me about the location of the hotel where he stayed. ”

Sun Tu could only report the location and name of the hotel where he was staying, and then Tong Mu took his hand and went straight inside. To be honest, he was really uncomfortable being held by such a man suddenly. But thinking that this is a way for men to show their closeness at this time, they can only endure it.

This remark naturally attracted the attention of many slaves in the front yard of the Tong family, and everyone looked at Sun Tu with obvious envy in their eyes. Yes, this young man actually saved his young master twice in a row, so naturally he can get a lot of rewards.

And among these people, the face of the young man who had spoken to Tong Rui before was so gloomy that he could drip water, and his eyes stared at Sun Tu and the others after they entered the courtyard behind, and then he turned his gaze to Tong Zhuang who was shrinking on the other side and did not dare to look at him, his eyes were full of anger.

But in the end, he still didn't have a seizure, just took a deep breath and left.

Sun Tu really appreciated what the environment is like in the rich and noble people's homes this time, and only a few times before entering the courtyard made him sigh. Under the soft light of the palace lamps, the eyes are carefully carved rockery pavilions and pond flowers and trees, and those attics built of bamboo and wood are dotted in the meantime, and it seems to be very coordinated, which is really like being in the painting.

Sun Tu had also been to Suzhou in his previous life and visited many gardens there, but in comparison, it was still the courtyard of this Tongfu that gave him a sense of elegance but wealth.

A few people chatted, and soon came to a courtyard with a large piece of bamboo planted around it, and a lotus pond in front of it, Tong Mu showed a relaxed smile on his face at this time: "Brother Sun, please come in, this is the place to live, you don't have to be formal, just think it's in your own home." As he spoke, he pushed the door open.

Different from the rich environment outside, it is more simple and quiet, there are no flowers and plants in the courtyard, only two large trees stand tall in the sky, and there are two main rooms facing the courtyard gate, and two side rooms on the left and right.

Tong Rui hurriedly stepped into the main room on the right side and helped them light the lamps and candles in the room.

In front of the bookshelf, in addition to a piano case, there are two low tables and two seats, but there is no furniture such as tables and chairs that are common outside.

Since the Tang Dynasty, the people have begun to absorb some of the habits of the Western Regions, which are reflected in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the most significant of which is the furniture. Originally, the Han people sat on the floor, but now most people have used high tables and chairs, and only those who admire the essence of Confucianism will insist on using such ancient furniture.

Sun Tu was only stunned for a moment, then followed Tong Rui into the house, and after he made a gesture of please, he learned him to sit in front of the guest seat on the right. Then, Tong Rui took a delicate tray from the side and put it in front of Tong Mu, only to see that there were many small jars in this tray and a small stove.

Sun Tu had also seen someone sencha in the past, after all, in the era before the crossing, many people with some identities liked to make this set, and he had also drunk kung fu tea, so after seeing this set of things, his first reaction should be to cook tea.

Sure enough, Tong Mu took out the small pieces in the jar with a spoon and put them in the small pot, and said: "Originally, it shouldn't be so casual, but because there is still a root of the disease on the body, I can only use tea instead of wine to express my gratitude, and I hope that Brother Sun will not be surprised." ”

"How dare you." Sun Tu was relaxed at this time, watching the other party put things into the pot like flowing water, and poured the water sent by Tong Rui into it, and lit the stove with the high-grade charcoal fire, and did not make any disturbances in the middle, because the other party seemed extremely focused at this time.

The tea in the pot quickly boiled, and the fragrance inside quickly diffused. Sun Tu frowned slightly when he smelled this: "This tea ......"

"This is a tea cooking method that the younger brother learned so easily, even if the uncle drank it, the old man also said that it was good, and the grandson brother should try it." Tong Mu said, he had already poured the black liquid in the pot into the cup and held it with both hands.

As soon as he took it, Sun Tu smelled a strong and messy fragrance coming to his nose, almost making him sneeze. Looking at the tea in the cup, it is like a traditional Chinese medicine with dregs, and what tea leaves and other fine things are mixed in it.

Just when Sun Tu was a little at a loss, Tong Mu had already taken a sip of tea and went in, chewing the impurities in the cup carefully, looking like he was enjoying it: "Brother Sun, please." ”

Sun Tu could only pour the cup into his mouth at this time, and then the smell of spices quickly surrounded his entire taste buds, fennel, pepper, cardamom...... Anyway, he couldn't taste the fragrance of tea, which made his mind a little dizzy.

Sun Tu didn't know that this was the way for people with status to drink tea in this era, they would mix all kinds of fine and precious ingredients with tea leaves, and then drink these things with soup. Although there was tea in later generations at this time, it was only used by people at the bottom, and it was easy to be regarded as a tyrannical thing.

After drinking this cup of tea with difficulty, the two officially reported their names, ages and origins, this Tong Mu is twenty-one years old this year, he is a native of Huazhou, Hebei Province, and he has been living in his uncle's house before, and he plans to take the Jinshi exam next year to become an official.

It was only because his mother suddenly fell ill that he rushed back to take care of him a few months ago. It wasn't until more than half a month ago that he came back, but he didn't want to get a sudden illness near Wuqiu Town, and he almost died.

Sun Tu followed the other party's words and asked as if unintentionally, "I don't know who your uncle is?" Looking at the luxury of the mansion here, his old man must be a high-ranking official in the court, right? That boy brother should also be the queen of the eunuch. ”

"This ......" Tong Mu hesitated slightly, and then said: "It's not a secret, but the reputation of the uncle in the hearts of others is not very good, and he is now the privy envoy of the court, and he is secretive." ”

Tong Guan! Sure enough, it's his house!

Sun Tu pretended to show surprise on his face, but said in his heart, in this way, you should not be called the queen of the eunuch, but the queen of the eunuch......
