Chapter Seventy-Five: Arrange a blind date
Although Tong Qingyan did not pursue Tong Manjiao's actions at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, it did not mean that Mrs. Tong could let go of this matter.
For Mrs. Tong, who has always governed her family with harmony, and for Tong Manjiao's backbone, she couldn't wait to pull a chair over at that time.
At the request of everyone in the Tong family, it is really fortunate that Tong Manjiao was only grounded, although the Zhou family also hated the old lady's partiality, but in the end, Tong Manjiao was not in danger of life, and this year was also considered safe.
Although Tong Manji never said much from beginning to end, the missing maid and Feiyan, who had not recovered from serious injuries, had always been a big stone pressing on the head of the person in the second room.
It's not like everyone can get over without mentioning it, and even the people in the second room have been waiting, waiting for the owner to come to the door.
So when Tong Qingyan arrived at Zhou's courtyard today, everyone was emotionally surprised that they had finally come, but then Tong Qingyan's words made everyone who heard it stunned.
"What you say is true?!"
Zhou stood up in surprise and looked at Tong Qingyan in disbelief, as if he didn't know her after a year.
"The two sisters should always marry before me, the sons of the six Shangshu families are all excellent, and with His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, I think I can always choose two to match the sisters."
Tong Manji knew that Tong Qingyan was coming, so she hurriedly ran to Zhou's yard from her yard, not because she was afraid of how Tong Qingyan would treat Zhou or Tong Manjiao, but because she felt that she should be there, but now this topic is ...... If I had known, I wouldn't have come.
Zhou is really excited, his daughter is a few pounds and a few taels, Zhou, the mother, knows best, if she really marries into the royal family, there are no bones left that have been dismantled and eaten in minutes.
Shangshu Mansion, the door is high and not afraid of offending, the uncle of the two is also from the official position of Sanpin anyway, not to mention the support of the prince of Huai behind his back.
This kind of big pie falling from the sky smashed Zhou's dizziness, or the henchman mother on his side pinched twice, and Zhou barely calmed down.
"This ...... Of course, this is a great thing, His Royal Highness the Prince will not be wrong in his vision, but I don't know... I don't know ......."
"I don't know why I repay my grievances with virtue?"
Tong Qingyan's cool gaze swept over the Zhou family, it stands to reason that it is disrespectful to talk to the elders in this tone, but now no one dares to accuse Tong Qingyan.
"I don't call it revenge with virtue, but my grandmother is in one day, and my father and uncle will not be separated, so mutual support is a sure thing. The two sisters will have a good life in the future, which is what the grandmother wants to see, no matter what the eldest sister once thought, it doesn't matter now. ”
Tong Qingyan looked at Zhou and Tong Manji, who looked embarrassed, and took a sip of white water to herself.
"Why does my aunt think I only like to drink plain water? That's because it's too hard to detect something in the tea, but not in white water, whether it's sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, you can tell it when you taste it. ”
"Third sister...... Tong Manji bit her lip, took two steps forward and held Tong Qingyan's hand, "The eldest sister must not be like this, she must be bewitched by others...... You almost did something wrong, you must not worry about her. ”
At this moment, Tong Manji really couldn't say anything more to persuade Tong Qingyan to let go of her eldest sister's mustard, but she felt a little inappropriate not to say anything.
"The second sister used to talk to me, and she would never be so polite. Therefore, after this incident, everyone has changed, and it is reluctant to go back to the past, so why bother. In order not to make my grandmother sleep, I asked His Royal Highness the Prince to help with this, as for the result, I also asked my aunt to discuss with the two sisters to decide, if you want, you can go to Ruyi Building for a gathering on the Yuan Festival. ”
Tong Qingyan drank the white water in the cup and left, and after Zhou saw her leave, he sighed with emotion.
"This child has been different since he was a child, and now he has found the position of the princess of King Huai at a young age, but he really underestimates her, thinking that she is just a delicate girl who is lazy and lazy to learn, but in fact, this heart and eyes are like that lotus, there are many."
"Mother, don't say that about the third sister."
"I know, I just feel it and say a few words. Now that someone has handed this olive branch, will you accept it? ”
"Mother, what are you asking me for, everything... It's all up to my mother. ”
Tong Manji twisted it rarely, after all, it was a lifelong event, and she was embarrassed to mention it directly, no matter how big she was, she was embarrassed to mention it directly, and because after experiencing some things, Tong Manji couldn't be carefree before.
"My mother thinks that the candidates for this marriage are excellent, and the two of you go to the draft, whether you can choose or not, your mother is worried, it is better to set a good family as early as now."
Shangshufu, Zhou has to laugh out loud when he thinks about it, which he never dared to think about before.
Although Tong Huaiyuan has an official position, after all, she is not a serious official lady, she can marry into Shangshu Mansion as the main mother and take charge of a mansion, and the lives of her two daughters are really 10,000 times better than herself!
Zhou rushed to Tong Manjiao's house with joy and excitement, and personally told the good news, but he didn't expect to wait for a ruthless ridicule.
These days of grounding are no different from imprisonment for Tong Manjiao.
Every day, eating the food delivered, turning over and over the books in the house, except opening the window to look at the depressed scene in the courtyard outside the house, nothing can be done, and the ears are full of the hustle and bustle of the New Year, and until now no half person has come to tell him what happened after the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.
But at least I'm safe, I haven't seen Tong Qingyan's little girl bring the prince of Huai Wang who didn't know when to hook up with Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Tong Manjiao looked at her mother, who appeared in front of her for the first time in so many days, and smiled coldly.
"After so many days, my mother is finally willing to come to see me, this is to bring Tong Qingyan's charity to me, I hope I will be grateful to her?"
Zhou covered his heart, tears were rolling in his eyes, but he still couldn't believe that this person who was cold and thin, but his eyes were extremely resentful, was his proud daughter who had been raised for many years.
"My mother has been begging your grandmother these days, and now the people in your yard are all sent by your grandmother, and my mother wants to come to see you, but she can't come in......"
"Then how did you get in today? I know, it's because Tong Qingyan opened her mouth, so the old lady allowed it, didn't you come in? ”
Zhou snorted for a while and didn't say yes or no, but Tong Manjiao understood.
At first, he just laughed twice, and then the laughter became louder and louder, and Zhou hurriedly came up to cover Tong Manjiao's mouth.
"Be quiet, how did you become so ...... kid"
"Becoming of what? Becoming unfamiliar? Getting scary? Or do you don't want to recognize me as a daughter? ”
Tong Manjiao's words were jealous of the words that Tong Huaishan slapped her after the incident on Chinese New Year's Eve to sever the relationship between father and daughter.
"Jiao'er, don't say that, your father... He was also confused......"
Zhou looked at Tong Manjiao, who lowered his eyes and was silent, and cautiously stretched out his hand to help her sit down.
"Jiao'er, the past is over, and the most important thing now is your marriage with Ji'er. If you want, you can go to see it on the Shangyuan Festival, how many girls can have a chance to see each other before marriage, not to mention the son of Shangshufu. ”
Tong Manjiao raised her eyes and looked at Zhou, who looked expectant, lowered her head and whispered.
"Okay, I'll go."
"Okay, okay, mother, I'm going to prepare for you two sisters to wear for the Yuan Festival, you've lost too much weight, you have to take advantage of these days to eat more supplements, and my mother will go and cook your favorite shredded chicken porridge for you now."
"I don't like shredded chicken porridge anymore."
"That's... Then what do you want to eat, my mother will make it for you! ”
"Hot and sour noodles, I want to eat hot and sour noodles."
"How can you eat that kind of thing, eating it will ...... the skin on your face" Zhou's instinctively refused, and stopped his mouth when he saw Tong Manjiao's indifferent gaze, and immediately changed his words, "Okay, okay, if you want to eat, my mother will do it for you." ”
Zhou went out in a hurry, Tong Manjiao stood up and walked slowly to the window, looked at the corridor outside the house, and the mothers-in-law who were guarding before were gone.
"Hehe, I will fight for what I want, and I don't need anyone to give alms!"
