After dusk, Sun Tu returned to his home from the Kaifeng Mansion.

As soon as the others entered the courtyard, they heard a faint electronic sound coming from the house, which made Sun Tu, who was majestic in the daytime and seemed to be unable to do anything, have a helpless wry smile on his face.

After a few steps to Ya'er's house, Sun Tucai sighed and said, "Ya'er, you forgot to cook again, right?" ”

"Oops......" There was a soft cry from Ya'er, and then the little girl ran out in a hurry, holding a palm-sized rectangular object in her hand, which was a common handheld toy in later generations.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Sun Tu stroked his forehead with some regret, he shouldn't have given her the handheld in the newly opened warehouse two days ago to pass the time, which made Ya'er a little discouraged.

That's right, after a series of previous events, Sun Tu's level in the Ring Middle Realm warehouse system was improved again, and two warehouses were opened again. It's just that the things in the warehouse this time are still not too practical, among which the No. 6 warehouse stores all kinds of toys represented by handhelds, and the No. 7 warehouse is stacked with some diving equipment, and I don't know which related company asked someone to consign it, anyway, these Sun Tu can't use it for the time being.

It was only because he felt that he needed to run errands in the yamen and had less time to accompany Ya'er, and he was afraid that she would be too bored at home alone, so Sun Tu found such a simple one, and only brought a handheld of basic games such as Tetris and handed it to her to play. As a result, the little girl became addicted to it as soon as she played, and became a standard otaku, and even what she should do was left behind by her.

"Ya'er, are you ready for today's copybook?" Watching the little girl go straight to the kitchen, Sun Tu asked behind his back. These words made Ya'er's movements obviously stiff, obviously she had been playing games all day, and she actually forgot all the homework assigned by Sun Tu when he went out in the morning.

This made Sun Tu's face sink suddenly, this can't be done, he can't hurt her, so he followed up in the kitchen and spread his hand at her: "Bring it." ”

"Ah......" Ya'er immediately understood what he meant, and hesitated for a while with reluctance on her face, then hesitated to hand over the handheld computer in her sleeve, and then begged pitifully: "Third brother, I was wrong, I will definitely not do this again in the future, don't you take it away, okay?" ”

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Sun Tu felt soft in his heart. When facing opponents outside, he can be ruthless, but in front of Ya'er, he really can't harden his heart, he just pinched the small handheld and said: "If you are just a first-time offender, I will punish you for not playing it again tonight, and I will return it to you when you have written all the words that should be written tonight." Also, tomorrow, if you forget your business because of playfulness, I really won't give it to you anymore. ”

"Oh." Ya'er's heart was secretly relieved, and she answered in a low voice, and her head hung down.

"Okay, you go to practice calligraphy first, and I'll arrange tonight's meal." Sun Tu waved his hand as he said and sent the little girl away. Ya'er didn't insist, agreed, and went back to her room to practice calligraphy.

Sun Tu was in a good mood today, so he cooked carefully, quickly fried a few dishes, cooked pot noodles as the main food, brought them to the middle living room, and called Ya'er to eat together. With this sumptuous meal, Ya'er was finally a little happier, and she ate it in front of Sun Tu.

Just when the two of them were enjoying a rare time together, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hospital, and then Tong Mu's voice also sounded from outside: "Is San Lang at home?" ”

Sun Tu hurriedly got up and went out to open the door, and when he saw Tong Mu, he smiled and said, "Tong Guanren is really a rare guest when he comes to the door today." As far as he knows, Tong Mu really passed the Jinshi in the imperial examination last month, and was quickly awarded an official, so this title is not bad.

Tong Mu let his entourage wait outside, and then entered the door with a smile: "San Lang, don't be so outside, do you still want me to call you Sun Guanren?" ”

"Haha, it's just to congratulate the second brother on finally becoming a court official. And compared to me, a military attache of the ninth grade, you, a civil official from a jinshi, are much more expensive. Sun Tu invited someone into the living room and asked him to sit down before he smiled and said, "By the way, how did you have a chance to come out today?" ”

Because of the dispute in Fan Lou, not only did Sun Tu lose the dispatch he could have gotten, but also Tong Mu and several other Guozijian students were greatly affected. If it weren't for the support of high-ranking family officials behind them, I am afraid that they would even be deprived of the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination.

Because of this, Tong Guan severely punished his nephew this time, and directly ordered him to ban his feet, and in two months, except for a few days of the imperial examination, he was confined in the palace gate for other days, so this is the first time that the two of them will see each other again after that day.

Hearing this, Tong Mu also showed a wry smile: "This is really thanks to you, if it weren't for San Lang for you making such a big fuss, how could I be punished so heavily." As he spoke, he sighed again: "But the matter at that time was really painful, and you didn't see the faces of those self-righteous scholars later, how ugly and ugly it was." After saying this, he sighed again, and seemed to be still reminiscing about the day.

Sun Tu just smiled and didn't answer. Because he didn't think it was a successful thing to ridicule those sour and rotten scholars in the Fan Building that day, at most he just vented his evil anger at that time.

After laughing a few times, Tong Mu finally recovered, and said, "As for me coming to see you today, it is for two things - first, I am actually here to say goodbye to you." ”

"You're leaving Tokyo?" Sun Tu asked in some surprise.

"Yes, I am already an official of the imperial court, and I have been sent again, and I will leave Bianjing in a few days to serve as an official in Huzhou, Zhejiang." Tong Mu said with a serious expression: "I don't know when you and I will be able to meet each other." ”

He is telling the truth, generally speaking, those who are now released as officials often only return to Bianjing once in a few years, and Sun Tu may also be sent to other places during this period and released, and it will be even more difficult for the two to meet at that time.

Sun Tu also sighed with emotion when he heard this, but then comforted: "The two of us are still young, maybe we will be able to reach a high position in the court in a few years, and then we will not be able to join forces to serve the court?" ”

"Yes, it's still Saburo, you can see far away. Let the two of us work together to be able to stand on the side of the minister of the Manchu Dynasty as soon as possible. Tong Mu's spirit was also lifted when he heard this. Then he said: "This second thing is to invite San Lang to my uncle's birthday banquet in three days." ”

"What? Will it be Tong Shuai's birthday in three days? ”

"Yes, that's why I'm going to do more here, otherwise I should leave in the next two days."

"But my identity ......," Sun Tu couldn't help but be a little worried. Tong Guan is a privy envoy of the Privy Council, one of the few big names in the court, and he is only a nine-rank official now, is he really qualified to attend his birthday banquet?

"San Lang, you are the person my uncle has always valued, and you are my friend of Tong Mu, so naturally you want to participate. You don't have to worry about not getting a decent gift, I'll arrange it for you. Tong Mu said this intimately again.

This made Sun Tu feel a little moved in his heart, Tong Mu really had nothing to say as a friend, and even helped himself take this detail into account. However, he did not accept the other party's kindness: "Second brother doesn't have to bother so much, since I go to celebrate my birthday, I naturally have to do my best." I'll figure it out to me. ”

Tong Mu didn't insist, so he nodded with a smile: "I know, by the way, although my uncle is over sixty, he still likes new things the most, you can think of more ways here." If the money is poor, just go to the account of Liufangju to withdraw it. ”

Sun Tu nodded in response. The two then chatted some gossip, Tong Mu also asked him about his new entry into Kaifeng Mansion with concern, Sun Tu simply said his situation, and the other party sighed again: "San Lang is clever in the end, it seems that this time the young people in Tokyo will soon suffer." Yuan'er was almost killed by those people before, and you can't let them go easily. ”

Sun Tu nodded solemnly in agreement, and then his heart moved-could it be that Tong Guan arranged himself to Kaifeng Mansion in order to find out the inside story of this matter?
