In Mrs. Tong's room, Mrs. Tong looked worried, looking at her mother-in-law.

Although it is now the third room of the Tong Mansion on the surface, Tong Zhiguang, the third master of Tong, came out of the belly of the old lady, and he is the most filial among the brothers, and he is also the most unproductive, so the actual head of the Tong family is still the old lady Tong.

Mrs. Tong San is also very convinced of her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law has always been the one who says nothing at home. It's just that at the moment, it's about her son, and she can't take care of it much.

"What kind of background is Lan Yuanxin, but she is a member of the Lan family, and her appearance is not outstanding, so she is not a safe person at first glance. If this is married, won't it make Wenguang laughed at. ”

The old lady did a lot of bad things in her early years, and when she was older, she worshipped the Buddha all the year round, and always held a string of Buddha beads in her hand.

She didn't open her eyes when she heard this, but she didn't say lightly: "Then in your opinion, is it for Wenguang to resist the decree?" ”

Mrs. Tong San choked, paused and whispered: "What the daughter-in-law means is that you talk to the queen mother to see if you can get the emperor to take back the holy decree." ”

Tong Zhiguang saw that the movements in his mother's hands stopped, but he didn't open his eyes, knowing that she was unhappy, he hurriedly scolded his wife: "You ignorant woman, the emperor's golden mouth, how can you take back the truth of your fate, are you disgusted with a long life?" ”

Mrs. Tong San glared at the master, her momentum came up, and she scolded: "What are you angry with me at this time, you don't care about family affairs, you can't care about your son, what's the use of you talking about you, you will only lose your temper with me!" ”

scolded and scolded her and began to wipe her tears, while talking about how difficult it was for her to manage this big family, she secretly took her eyes to see Mrs. Tong, obviously for her.

Old Madam Tong opened her eyes and looked at Tong Zhiguang coldly and said, "Don't hurry up and help your daughter-in-law up, today is a good day for Wenguang, if people hear it, it will be gossip." ”

The third lady didn't dare to make any more trouble, and went down the steps.

I heard Mrs. Tong say again: "Since you are tired, let the housekeeper of the fourth family, you are also idle." ”

The third lady had a "chuckle" in her heart, and hurriedly wiped her tears and said with a dry smile: "Mother, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart." Besides, her younger brother and sister are not in good health, how can she be tired. ”

Old Madam Tong snorted coldly, and her face became gloomy.

"The emperor has been on guard against our Tong family all these years, and the lord instructed him to rein in his edge before he died, so several of your brothers did not enter the court, in exchange for the tranquility of our Tong family over the years."

The third lady hurriedly said: "Wenguang was personally promoted by His Royal Highness the Prince, and he has been an An'an over the years, abiding by his duties, and has never exceeded the rules. ”

Old Madam Tong nodded, her expression becoming more and more solemn.

"It is precisely because of this that we have to guard against it. The emperor is most afraid of the courtiers forming a party for personal gain, although the Lan family is a partial house, but it is also the same family as the old lady Lan, and I really can't see through the emperor's hand. ”

Tong Zhiguang's eyes lit up and said, "Mother, could this be the emperor's desire to win over our Tong family?" Didn't they all say that they wanted our Tong Lan family to rebuild the old one? ”

Before the old lady could speak, the third lady had already raised her eyes and said, "I see that your mind is full of mush, if that's the case, then why don't you marry Lan Wenming's daughter?"

Xin'er was raised by Mrs. Lan herself, and Wenguang are cousins, and she has been taken care of by the queen for so many years, isn't it a really good marriage. ”

Old Madam Tong looked at her uncompetitive son and sighed, and said, "What the third daughter-in-law said makes sense, I asked Yu'er to mention Xin'er to the emperor when I heard the rumors before." At the moment, the emperor must have other ideas. ”

After that, she looked at the third lady and said, "This matter should not be moved, since the emperor has given marriage, I have to be grateful." As for when you will marry in and how you will live after marrying, we don't have the final say. ”

The third lady sensed the warning in that glance, and knew that the old lady was making a decision, so she had to swallow her dissatisfaction.

After sending the three children out, Mrs. Tong opened her mouth and said to Jiang Shi beside her: "Today, my two precious grandsons will definitely come to appreciate their faces." You go and say hello to the fourth child, and ask him to persuade him to drink more, and don't neglect the guests. ”

Jiang nodded silently and went out to do something.

Tong Zhiguang and his wife just went out, and it happened that the prince and His Royal Highness King An came together, Tong Zhiguang hurriedly greeted them with a smile on his face, and let the two of them to the main table.

Tong Changfeng, the fourth master of the Tong family, is an idle man, and he is good at drinking on weekdays. At this moment, he was greeting between several tables, and when he saw the two of them coming, he came and sat down with a smile.

Ji Lingyun didn't have much defense against this little uncle who was outside the Tong family, and the two would occasionally eat and drink together. Now Tong Changfeng directly began to persuade him to drink, and even with Ji Chengyu, he didn't drink at all.

After three rounds of drinking, Tong Changfeng staggered up and said, "I, Hiccup, I'll go first, and then I'll drink when I come back!" ”

Ji Lingyun was also half drunk at this time, and seeing that Tong Changfeng was already a little unstable, he motioned to Lian Yue to help him. Tong Changfeng took advantage of the situation to help him, and Lian Yue's face suddenly looked a little strange.

A member of the Tong family came over to help Tong Wenguang go, Lian Yue returned to Ji Lingyun's side, and after a while, he attached it to Ji Lingyun's ear and said: "The fourth master secretly stuffed me with a packet of hangover powder, I don't know what the purpose is." ”16

Ji Lingyun squinted, took the medicinal powder to cover it with the hem of his sleeve, poured the medicinal powder into the wine jug, and personally poured two glasses of wine and said to Ji Chengyu: "I respect the imperial brother for this cup, and the imperial brother can't help but drink it." ”

Ji Chengyu was only stunned for a moment, then took the wine glass and drank it. The two drank and gossiped, and soon drank all the wine in the pot, and the people were already fainting.

Seeing that Ji Lingyun was already lying on the table, Ji Chengyu wanted to get up, Tong Zhiguang happened to walk over, and said with a wine: "On weekdays, Wenguang is not less tired of His Royal Highness the Prince, I salute His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for this glass of wine." ”

Ji Chengyu frowned slightly, and Tong Wenguang came over to persuade: "Father, I see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has drunk too much, so let's drink this wine another day." ”

Tong Zhiguang brushed away his hand, insisted on holding the wine glass and leaned over and said, "What's this, drink too much on today's happy day." ”

Ji Chengyu couldn't push it anymore, so he had to take it and drink another glass, and when he got up again, his feet were already unstable.

Seeing this, Tong Wenguang wanted to go up the mountain to help, but Tong Zhiguang had already summoned a few servants and ordered: "Send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King An to the wing room to sober up, and your hands and feet are lighter." ”

After that, he grabbed Tong Wenguang, who was about to follow, and said: "Today is your big day, how can you go, what else can happen to people at home." There's a father watching here, so go and do your own business. ”

As the night deepened, Bai Yanran and several people in Anhua Temple had already arranged a wing room to live in. The mother and daughter talked for a while, and when they saw that the night was dark, they went back to their rooms and went to sleep.

Zou waited for Qi to sleep, and then went back to the room to rest. Thinking that Tong'er was afraid that she would not be able to sleep tonight, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

Xu is revisiting the old place, and Zou can't help but think of the past. At the beginning, she and Gui Zhi were the most profitable aunts around Lan Guifei, and Lan Guifei was pregnant again, and she wanted to give birth to a prince to make up for the pain of losing her previous child.

But she gave birth to a princess, and Concubine Lan was in a hurry to get pregnant before, and she used too many prescriptions to hurt her body, and she was afraid that she couldn't get pregnant anymore. She was unwilling in her heart, so she could only take the risk of changing the tanuki for the prince.

Katsura picked up the boy she had bought, and she sent the real princess away. didn't want her to risk her life for Concubine Lan, but she became an outcast.

At that time, the Zou family escaped death and returned home, but the family of four had died at home, and only the granddaughter who was only a full moon was hidden under the bed and escaped. She had hatred in her heart, but she could only hide incognito and hide around considering Tong'er.

She can't get out of the capital without paperwork, but the minions of Concubine Lan, who is so big in the capital, can't find her, and she has been hiding for so many years.

Fortunately, God has eyes, so that she met the current owner, and Tong'er finally doesn't have to sleep with her. It's just that every time I recall the past, I always have hatred in my heart.

Tossing and turning until midnight, she fell asleep.

After a while, suddenly a dagger was inserted into the crack of the door, and the deadbolt was gently picked at the door. The killer in a night suit held a sharp blade and quietly walked into the bed.

He looked at the person on the bed for a moment in the moonlight, then lifted the cold dagger and stabbed it mercilessly. But a cat that didn't want to come from suddenly barked twice in the window, and the killer was startled and paused.

Zou was also awakened, and when she opened her eyes to see this scene, the vigilance of being chased and killed for many years made her subconsciously shrink into the corner.

Seeing that the killer was about to stab again, Zou hurriedly threw the quilt out, and took advantage of this kung fu to roll out of bed and run out of the door. But she didn't want the killer to follow, so she could only abandon the door and dodge.

Zou hid behind the screen, and while listening to the movement outside, he asked: "I'm just a subordinate, and I've never provoked any nobles, are you looking for the wrong person?" ”

The man saw her intention to delay time, and without saying a word, he knocked over the screen and chased after her. Zou is an elderly woman in the end, where can there be such a killer.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, he thought he was going to die here, but someone happened to knock on the door. I didn't want anyone to know what scruples I had about killing someone, so I had to jump out of the window and escape.

Someone came to knock on the door and alarmed several side rooms next to it, and Qi's family, Bai Yanran, Su Xin, and Shu Yue all came out to watch. Zou only said that he had been robbed, but did not say anything about the killer.

The killer's words made Zou understand that he had been discovered by Concubine Lan's minions.

When something like this happens, it's terrifying. Su Xin went outside for a turn, came back and said, "I heard that Aunt Su of the Zuo Xiang family is tired, and she also stayed in the temple to prepare to go down the mountain tomorrow." As a result, the cat that he brought ran out in the middle of the night, and tossed for people to go out to find it.

The person was the subordinate of the Zuo family, thinking that the cat had slipped into the room to make a fuss before knocking on the door. Fortunately, otherwise the thief would not have been scared away. ”

Because seeing that Zou's mother's face was really not good-looking, Qi stayed to comfort her before leaving, but Zou's mother still didn't belong.

Since Concubine Lan's people can find her, they naturally know what she is doing in the Bai family. But he has not moved, but waited until today in Anhua Temple to start, thinking that he has some scruples about the Bai family.

Or rather, Bai Yanran and His Royal Highness King An have scruples.

She sat at the table and thought about things until the dawn broke and the dull sound of a bell sounded in her ears, as if it were striking at people's hearts.

Zou's mother finally made up her mind, got up and opened the door and went out.
