Chapter 242: Secrets in the Backyard
Tian Tong is very strict with his son Tian Ming, and even a little pretentious. However, Tian Ming didn't see the slightest expression of discomfort, Su Qin felt that he was obedient to his father's words and obedient to orders, which was very different from his performance outside, and he was like two people.
Su Qin was surprised in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that it might be caused by Tian Tong's strict teaching. He immediately regained his composure and composure in the face of a country, and then chatted with Tian Tong about some government affairs of the two countries while drinking.
Because the two have the same positions, the affairs they encounter are similar, and they have common topics, so they have a lot of fun.
When Su Qin mentioned that Zhao, Qi, Yan and other eastern princes joined forces to resist Qin, Tian Tong deliberately avoided talking about it, Su Qin wanted to hear Tian Tong's high opinion, so he asked a few more times.
Later, Tian Tong probably thought that he couldn't avoid this topic after all, and he said: "This decision is up to the King of Qi to decide." Everyone didn't care, and it was inconvenient for Su Qin to hold on to this topic anymore, but he faintly felt that the road to lobbying for Qi was not easy.
The three of them drank together until late at night, and Su Qin and Tian Tong were always talking eloquently during the banquet, and Tian Ming always remained silent and never interjected casually.
This also made Su Qin puzzled, the Tian Ming he saw back then was not like this, when he shouldn't have spoken, he still interjected, which made Sun Bin a little dissatisfied with him.
Later, Tian Tong stopped his wine glass, and he said: "Prime Minister Su Cheng came from afar, the journey is tiring, it is better to rest early, I will go to Linzi Palace tomorrow to meet King Qi, and make an appointment for you to meet King Qi." ”
When Su Qin heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and felt that Tian Tong was really a good person who was hospitable, and he was well arranged, and his political affairs were clear and orderly. The State of Qi has such a Zhengqing, and the King of Qi must have saved a lot of trivial chores.
When Tian Tong went to negotiate with Qi Wang Tian Biyi to meet him, he saved himself the cumbersome procedures of submitting the documents in person before going to Linzi Palace tomorrow, wouldn't it also save him effort?
Su Qin said goodbye to Tian Tong with a grateful mood, and Tian Tong accompanied him all the way to the place where he arranged accommodation. Su Qin saw that the place where he lived was a spacious courtyard near the lake, and when he opened the courtyard door, he saw the clear lake water at a glance, and the trees in front of the courtyard were verdant, and it was almost spring, and the trees were sprouting and full of life.
Su Qin was watching the scenery around him, Tian Tong said: "I don't know what the old man arranged for Prime Minister Su Cheng's residence, this place is called "Mingli Pavilion", it was originally the place where the old man cultivated, I heard that Prime Minister Su Cheng was coming, and the old man gave you up." ”
After Su Qin heard this, he couldn't help it. said: "I have a lot of people here, nearly half a hundred entourage, it is not rude to disturb Tian Qing, and now you value me so much and vacate your own residence, how can I afford this?" ”
"Why did Prime Minister Su Cheng say this, the old man is just entertaining you on behalf of the Qi State and talking about his heart, please don't take it to heart." Tian Tong smiled and persuaded Su Qin to stay with peace of mind.
Su Qin shook Tian Tong's hand and sincerely said some words of gratitude. The two were separated at the gate of the courtyard.
Su Qin walked to the courtyard and found that there were three main houses in the "Mingli Pavilion", and the lights and candles in the middle room were still on, so he went to inspect it, walked to the door, and heard Meng Di and Meng Ting talking.
Su Qinxin said: "Tian Tong is really meticulous, and even the female guests in his team have special arrangements, such a degree of thoughtfulness is really ashamed." ”
Su Qin listened to the Meng sisters talking and laughing in the house, which was very funny, but he didn't want to eavesdrop on the secret conversation between women, so he coughed outside the house. The two sisters in the house heard someone outside the house, and their sister Meng Ting dared to ask, "Who is outside?" ”
"It's me, I just came back, and I heard someone in the house, so I came over to take a look." Su Qin hurriedly replied.
"Then don't stand outside the house, come in, we haven't slept yet." Meng Ting sent out an invitation. Su Qin hesitated, but pushed the door and went in.
He saw that the Meng sisters had not yet removed their makeup, and the two were sitting opposite each other, chatting energetically.
"What strange things have happened to you, look at you and be happy." Su Qin asked, and he sat down by the way.
Sister Meng Di was quick to speak, and she replied first: "Just when you and Tian were feasting, we were also invited to the backyard of Tianfu, that is, in the courtyard across the lake, and arranged for us to have dinner with the ladies of Tianfu, guess what we saw there?" “
Su Qin thought for a while and guessed: "You must have met an acquaintance, it's not easy to meet an acquaintance here, who is it?" ”
"What, we don't have any acquaintances in Qi Country, we have seen something else." Meng Di hurriedly denied Su Qin's speculation.
Su Qin said in embarrassment: "I really can't guess, you two just tell me directly." ”
Meng Di pretended to be mysterious and said: "What we saw was related to the lives of other people's families, so we can't just talk nonsense." Especially if you can't tell the master of the Tian family, that is, Tian Tong, the Zhengqing of the Qi State. ”
Su Qin's eyes widened in surprise, a little incredulous, and said, "You just arrived in Tianfu, it's only been half a night, what can you find, don't you bluff me?" ”
Seeing that Su Qin didn't believe it, her sister Meng Ting also said with certainty: "The scene we saw is indeed true, but it really didn't bluff you." We both saw it, and we couldn't be wrong. ”
Meng Di continued her sister's words and continued: "We saw the two concubines of Tianfu cheating with others, and they were using a little effort for dinner, which shows how impatient they are. ”
"What, what? How did you see such things? Su Qin felt incredible, when entertaining the two female guests of Tianfu, there was a concubine who dared to cheat, this is not something that no one believes in the sky.
Meng Ting said: "I saw it first, I came out to relieve it, and saw two people hugging tightly in the corner of the house, doing things between men and women, and then I saw another couple outside the yard." ”
She said with a shy cheek, very good-looking, and said: "I also think it's strange, how can I catch up with this kind of thing, and then I told my sister, and she also went out to take a peek, it turned out that I didn't look away, it's true." ”
"The two concubines are out of the city to have a tryst, so who will accompany you?" Su Qin still had doubts.
"Na Tian Tong said that his wife died early, but later he married many concubines, I heard that there were sixty or seventy, and there were more than ten of them with us tonight, and we still don't recognize them all. There are two out of the road, and you can't see the desertion at all. Meng Ting replied.
