Since Mr. Tong returned to his hometown, the carriage in front of the house has not been broken, and there are relatives of the same clan, old friends who have been friends for many years, and the families of the eldest son's colleagues. The old couple was busy entertaining guests every day and had almost no time to take care of their granddaughter, so Tong Guangyu's youngest daughter-in-law Wang volunteered to take care of her little cousin.

They either play with a few little milk babies in the backyard, or write and paint, although Mr. Zhao did not follow, but a lot of study tasks were assigned, and if they couldn't pay back, they would be punished. Mama Ruan's etiquette class has been suspended for the time being, and she is ready to take advantage of the trip to Jiangnan to raise the painting level of the little apprentice to a higher level.

The sisters will go out to play every three or two days, after all, "there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below" can not live up to the beautiful scenery. Xiao Yuan is only responsible for eating, drinking, and having fun, Xiao Yao has to draw at least one travel map every time she goes out and comes back, and half a month has passed, and her paintings have been bound out of a volume.

On this day, the porter received a post, which was handed over by Tang Tong's wife.

"You have to meet this person, she is the wife of my son's colleague." Old Man Tong tapped his fingers on the table and spoke slowly.

"Of course I know the joints, so I'll see them." I'm about to become a special hospitality, and it seems that the days of the New Year are not over!

Mrs. Tang came to visit the next day, she spoke Suzhou dialect, smiled lovely, and said softly: "I should have come to visit a long time ago, but I think that you have just returned to Suzhou, and there should be a lot of things to do, so it is too late, please Mrs. Tong Don't be surprised." ”

"Thank you Mrs. Tang for your understanding, we are also thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to go to the house to meet the old lady! I'm sorry that you came first. "There is an old ancestor of the Tang family, I heard that he is almost eighty years old, and his body is still hard and tough, and almost everyone in Suzhou City knows about it.

"Our ancestor is about to celebrate his eightieth birthday, and when the time comes, I will invite Mrs. Tong's family to enjoy the light and drink a glass of water and wine." Mrs. Tang extended an invitation to Mrs. Tong.

"That is to beg for a cup of wine to drink, and it is a blessing for our whole family to touch the ancestors at that time." Eighty birthdays, which are rare in Kyoto, not to mention that people have already sent out invitations, and it is necessary to go.

"I heard that there are guests from Kyoto, so I wonder if I can invite them to come with me! Let us also meet the young master and young lady from Kyoto. Mrs. Tang made this request with some trepidation, which was specially explained by her youngest son when she was about to go out, saying that she had a relationship with several relatives of the Tong family, and if the other party knew that the Tang family had a birthday banquet but was not invited, it might affect the relationship between the master and Lord Tong.

Although Mrs. Tang didn't understand her son's statement, she had always been more convinced of the prodigy's words as a mother, so she took the liberty to mention it today.

How did the Tang family know that their grandson and granddaughter had come to Suzhou! Mrs. Tong was suspicious of this, but it was inconvenient to ask about this kind of scene, so she decided to ask Xiao Yao what was going on later.

"Mrs. Tang doesn't know, my grandson has left Suzhou and returned to Kyoto, but my granddaughter is still living here, probably because of the long journey, and now she is a little unwell, if she can recover in the future, I will definitely take her to the house." If her granddaughter wants to go, she will take her with her, and if she doesn't mean that, she will never force it.

"The young lady in Kyoto is naturally delicate, but I can ask a doctor, is there anything you need help with, if there is one, just ask."

"Thank you Mrs. Tang for your concern, I have asked Dr. Qiao Hui to see it, I believe that I can recover after a period of recuperation."

"That's good, that's good." At first, Mrs. Tang thought that the other party was prevaricating herself, but when she heard Qiao Hui's name, she believed Mrs. Tong's words, after all, who would invite Dr. Qiao into the mansion if she was fine.

The young ladies in Kyoto are squeamish, and if they are unwell, they have to ask Dr. Qiao, which is worse than the ladies in Suzhou, and at this moment Mrs. Tang has labeled Xiao Yao as delicate and not suitable for living in Suzhou at all.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Tang took her leave, and Mrs. Tong also went to the backyard, and she wanted to ask her granddaughter where she had seen the Tang family.

"Grandmother, whose house are you asking? I don't remember seeing any Tang family members. Xiao Yao turned her inquiring gaze to Mama Ruan and asked for an answer.

"I remember, when we were on the road, we just got off the boat, didn't we see a little boy of the Tang family in the bookstore?" Xiao Yuan remembered a boy he had seen in the bookstore, and he seemed to be surnamed Tang.

"Is there one?" Xiao Yao tugged at her hair and tried to remember.

Mrs. Tong and Mama Ruan are not as calm as the sisters, is peace already remembered? If General Xiao knew that someone was worried about his granddaughter, he would not be able to kill him directly from the northwest to Suzhou! The two of them shivered at the same time, but they had to be more careful in the future, and don't invite General Xiao.

"How old is that Tang Gongzi?" Mrs. Tong decided to find out what was going on.

"Not as big as the second brother." Xiao Yuan said truthfully.

Far from it, okay? Xiao Yao really didn't dare to compliment her sister's way of looking at people.

"About ten years old." Xiao Yao replied casually.

Mrs. Tong and Mama Ruan couldn't help but be alarmed, were they really afraid of something?

"Have you never seen the rest of the Tang family again?" Mrs. Tong asked unrelentingly.

"If their little family is also one, then we have seen two Tang family members." Xiao Yao wagged her two fingers mischievously.

"Naughty." Mrs. Tong and Mama Ruan said at the same time.

Wang, who has been with Xiao Yao for a while, is now slowly realizing that his little cousin just looks well-behaved and sensible on the outside, but in fact, he doesn't know how tricky and weird he is inside! As very traditional women, they are both surprised and a little envious of such a person, who doesn't want to live freely!

After asking her granddaughter, Mrs. Tong became more and more uneasy, she was now afraid that others would worry about her baby, of course, she was even more afraid that she would attract General Xiao because of this.

"Jinsheng, have you seen the Tang family on the way back from Kyoto?"

"I've only seen the third son of their family."

"What kind of kid is that."

"Tang Sangongzi is a prodigy who everyone knows in Suzhou, besides, he looks good and has a good family background, I don't know how many people are thinking about him and want to marry the Tang family! Could it be that his grandmother also takes a fancy to him, and his grandson also thinks that his cousin is quite compatible with him. ”

With your size, Fu Tong is going to die of worry at the moment, although she is not completely sure whether her conjecture is true, but in addition, what other reasons will there be for Mrs. Tang to specially propose to invite "Miss Kyoto" to attend the birthday banquet!

How old is this Tang family kid to know that he cares about other people's little girls, the prodigy is not good at studying, he puts his mind in the right place, and focuses on what other people's little girls are about, it seems that this Tang family's banquet can't let Ping An go.

When Old Man Tong knew about this, he expressed a completely opposite opinion.

"You should let Ping An go, don't mention anything else, maybe the blessing of the old birthday star can make her body recover as soon as possible! Besides, the matter of peace is not what we say, if they have the guts, they will go to Lao Xiao to mention it. "Old man Tong is already mentally prepared to watch the excitement, and if he wants to think about his granddaughter, he has to pass the level of his old in-laws' house.

When the time comes, ask yourself what you mean. Mrs. Tong didn't want to look at her husband's ill-intentioned expression, so she turned around and walked out.

"I said, how about we move back to Kyoto in six or seven years." Old Man Tong said loudly behind his old wife.

"Why?" Mrs. Tong couldn't understand what medicine her husband was selling in his gourd, so she asked puzzledly.

Of course, I went back to see the excitement, and the old man Tong slandered, he wanted to see who Xiao wanted to see his granddaughter, and he wanted to see how Lao Xiao repaired those little rabbit cubs.

Old Man Tong didn't get a response, Mrs. Tong continued to walk out, although she didn't guess what her husband meant, but it was definitely not a good thing.

The next thing is to prepare for the New Year, it is said that every festival is full of relatives, Xiao Yao now misses his father and brother, and he also thinks about his grandfather in the northwest border city, and I don't know if he has seen King Jing in his old man.

General Xiao really wanted to see King Jing, but how could it be so easy! At this time, he had just joined the army secretly transferred by the emperor, and a large part of these people were his former subordinates, because the northern frontier was relatively close to here, which was the most important reason why the emperor insisted on sending him.

After careful investigation, this team of people finally discovered the location of King Jing, but there were also many martial arts masters there, and General Xiao didn't want to startle the snake when the situation was unclear, let alone joke with the lives of his subordinates.

After some discussion, General Xiao disguised himself as an ordinary old man, and it took a lot of trouble to meet King Jing, and the two of them formulated a new strategy, that is, King Jing stayed where he was and continued to confuse the enemy, General Xiao personally went to the Han family's base camp in the northwest to look for information, and here General Xiao also got a message about his youngest son, he actually went to the neighboring Northern Jin Kingdom, and has not returned.

"This unconscious bastard, wait for him to come back and see that I won't discount his legs." General Xiao gritted his teeth with hatred, this son didn't want to think about how to help King Jing get out of trouble, he was still in the mood to play in the mountains and rivers, he was just a gentleman, and he couldn't find any advantages except for a face on his body.

King Jing opened his mouth, thought about it again and again and swallowed the words that came to his mouth, General Xiao couldn't stand being angry when he only heard his son run away from the Northern Jin Dynasty, if he knew that there was a county lord of the Northern Jin Dynasty who was worried about Xiao Jingyan, I don't know how fierce his reaction would be! Forget it, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, in order to return to Kyoto as soon as possible, I still don't want to stimulate his old man.

In the following days, General Xiao was busy according to King Jing's instructions, because this matter was confidential, so he didn't tell anyone except Xiao Jingtai, and all the actions were done by the father and son themselves, and they never faked others.
