Three days passed in a flash, and Sun Tu once again understood the procrastination of the efficiency of the government. Even if Xue Tongju responded to the request to transfer himself and others to Dongcheng early in the morning, there was still no follow-up at this time. At the same time, Tong Guan's birthday has arrived, and he can only pack up his mood and go to congratulate.

It's dusk again, and the traffic in front of Tong's Mansion is already busy, and the guests are full, and it is very lively. Under the light of daylight, a group of burly or extraordinary guests were greeted and sent into the door by the housekeepers of all sizes, and those who were more important or closer were also received by Zhou Yun and Tong Mu, two juniors, who greeted them and laughed loudly.

This was the scene that Sun Tu saw when he arrived, looking at the luxuriously dressed guests who kept going in, and then looking down at himself in ordinary clothes, he could only smile bitterly. But since he came, he couldn't retreat, not to mention that he specially selected a birthday gift for Tong Guan from the warehouse, even if he didn't congratulate him in person, this gift still had to be given, otherwise he would be too ignorant.

So Sun Tu also followed the crowd and walked forward slowly, and just as he was about to mix in the middle of a group of guests and enter through the side door, a mocking voice came from the side: "Yo, isn't this Sun Dutou?" Why are you here to celebrate my uncle's birthday? Can I bring an invitation? Sun Tu turned his head when he heard this, and saw Zhou Yunzheng looking at him with a sneer, and at the same time, the faces of the guests on the side also showed surprise.

You must know that those who can be present today to celebrate his birthday and be welcomed into the door of Tong's mansion are all civil and military officials above the sixth grade in the capital, but their identity is not enough, and they are also Tong Guan's confidants. But Sun Tu is too low, and it is too unreasonable to appear here.

"Naturally, I didn't receive an invitation, so I didn't go in to congratulate Tong Shumi in person, I just planned to give this birthday gift to express my heart." Sun Tu had already passed the psychological age of arguing with someone if he disagreed, and after hearing Zhou Yun's words, he just said with a smile.

"Then leave the congratulatory gift, my Tongfu doesn't have time to greet you today." Zhou Yun pursed his lips and said. As soon as he said this, a house slave stepped forward and wanted to take his gift from Sun Tu.

But at this moment, a person strode over: "Slow! How dare you be so rude, Saburo is a guest I invited, who dares to drive him away? As soon as the slave saw someone coming, he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Second son......" It was Tong Mu who rushed over when he heard the movement here.

"Second son, you also know his identity, just the head of Kaifeng Mansion, why did he enter the gate of my Tong's Mansion." Zhou Yun saw a trace of jealousy flashing in Tong Mu's eyes, but now it was different from the past, and he couldn't fight with him anymore.

Zhou Yun has always been deeply jealous of Tong Mu, not only because of the other party's surname, as a nephew, Tong Mu is naturally much closer than his nephew in front of his uncle, but also because of his talent, and now he has even been admitted to the Jinshi and is about to be released as an official, but he has not achieved anything.

In the end, this jealousy became powerless, and I could only hide it in my heart and wait for the opportunity. And Sun Tu's appearance today gave him a chance to vent, because Zhou Yun knew very well the relationship between Sun Tu and Tong Mu, plus he had ruined his good deeds one after another before, so he naturally wanted to take revenge at this time.

But as a result, he was interrupted by Tong Mu again, and the other party now looks much stronger than before: "Sun Sanlang is my friend, I can naturally invite him to the banquet." What's more, even his uncle has always valued him, don't look at him now, he is just a capital, but he is already a nine-grade official in the imperial court. ”

Zhou Yun didn't expect today's Tong Mu to be so tough, and he couldn't object to what he said, so he could only laugh dryly: "I see, that's really a misunderstanding." In fact, I also have good intentions, after all, the people who are at the banquet today are all high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, and Sun Dutou's identity is really embarrassing......"

"You don't have to bother. Saburo, I'll lead you in. Tong Mu didn't mean to entangle with him more, and with a wave of his hand, he took Sun Tu inside. This performance of not taking Zhou Yun in his eyes made him hate it in his heart, but he couldn't do it again.

Sun Tu followed Tong Mu in some surprise, and it wasn't until he came to a secluded place that he was a little surprised: "Second brother, why didn't you save him the slightest face today?" "It's not at all like you usually are.

"You don't know, I have endured his repeated provocations during this time. But today he is so degrading you in public, I can't bear it anymore. Tong Mu said with a cold face.

Sun Tu could see that the other party's words were from the bottom of his heart, and his heart was also moved, it seemed that the friendship between himself and Tong Mu was indeed very deep.

While talking, the two had come to the gatehouse, and Sun Tu handed the steward a small brocade box in his hand, and watched the other party write his name on the post, and then paste it on the box.

Tong Mu looked at the tightly closed brocade box with some curiosity: "San Lang, what birthday gift did you prepare for my uncle?" ”

"Well...... this" Just when Sun Tu was about to tell the other party about the use of the things inside, and when he told Tong Guan at that time, a small figure also ran over, and when he saw Sun Tu, he shouted happily: "Brother Sun, you are here......" It was Tong Yuan.

Because of the relationship that saved him from the traffickers, Tong Yuan has always been quite close to Sun Tu. Especially a few days ago, after Sun Tu secretly brought some snacks and candies from the warehouse to Xiaowa'er, Tong Yuan regarded him as a relative, so every time he saw him, he was very affectionate.

The appearance of the child interrupted the conversation between the two, and Sun Tu stepped forward with a smile, squatted down and touched Tong Yuan's hair, and then took out a few candies and handed them to the other party: "Yes, Yuan'er looks very energetic today." Have you been obedient lately? ”

"Of course, Yuan'er is obedient, and has recently begun to learn to write, do you want Brother Sun to take a look?" Tong Yuan skillfully put a candy into his mouth and tasted it beautifully, and said vaguely in his mouth.

"Wait until I congratulate Tong Shuai on his birthday, and then look at what you wrote." Sun Tu smiled and said a few more words to Tong Yuan, and then continued to walk in with Tong Mu. Just smiling, his heart turned to the previous idea again, and was Tong Yuan's appearance accidental, or was Tong Mu deliberately arranged it in order to remind himself? In this way, the topic just now was diverted, and Tong Mu obviously had no intention of delving into it.

After thinking for a while, the two of them had come to the side hall next to the lobby of the third courtyard, which was already crowded with laughter, and many guests were sipping tea inside, chatting and chatting and waiting for the birthday banquet later.

Those who can come here today to attend Tong Guan's birthday banquet are all Korean Chinese martial artists who are close to him, especially military attachés, so the atmosphere at the scene is relatively warm, and from time to time there is a burst of laughter.

After leading Sun Tu into the door, Tong Mu turned around and went outside to greet other important guests, and because he knew limited about these Tong Guan henchmen, he could only find a remote corner to stand and watch the play.

After a while, several more guests were welcomed into the door, one of whom was Fang Qian, who Sun Tu was familiar with, and who had always been by his side when he had visited Tong Guan several times before.

However, Fang Qian's arrival attracted the attention of many people, and immediately several people deliberately came forward to greet him, obviously everyone knew that this junior official of the Privy Council was Tong Guan's confidant, and it was necessary to have a friendship.

Fang Qian smiled and exchanged pleasantries with them, then he also found an opportunity to drill into the corner, and happened to come to Sun Tu's side, and when they saw it, both of them laughed. Sun Tu shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that Fang Guanren would also avoid them." ”

"Hehe, I just want to celebrate my birthday today, and I really don't want to negotiate with them more." Fang Qian said, and looked at Sun Tu again: "Has Sun Guanren been going well in Kaifeng Mansion recently?" Don't complain that Tong Shuai found such a dispatch for you, there is another meaning in this. ”

"Oh, forgive Sun Tu for being stupid, I really can't see Tong Shuai's hard work, and I ask Fang Guanren for some advice."

Just when Fang Qian wanted to say something, the figure outside the hall flashed, and Tong Guan had already strode in surrounded by several subordinates, which made all the guests who were originally sitting or standing in groups of three or five get up to greet each other, Fang Qian and Sun Tu were naturally no exception, so they could only put this topic aside first.
