Chapter 72: The Dust Settles
There seemed to be a faint scent of ink on the white letterhead.
He never watched his eldest daughter grow up, and he never thought that his eldest daughter's handwriting was good, with both the style of a literati and his own character.
Tong Changqing happily looked down the pen and ink.
As a result, the further back I looked, the more my brows furrowed.
Liangshan secretly wondered when he saw it, the old man still looked at it with a smile, why did his expression suddenly become serious at this moment.
Without him having to figure it out, Tong Changqing stood up.
"Withdraw the food and stop eating."
Sounds a bit like angry talk.
Tong Changqing had already strode towards the study.
The new home is entrusted to the old man on duty in the capital of the former classmates to buy the second into the yard, the family is not enough manpower, the old man said that when the wife comes, the wife will come to the wife to buy, and now he has to help do these things.
Tong Changqing entered the study and wrote a reply.
After Liangshan cleaned up and came into the study, Tong Changqing directly handed over the letter to him: "You go to the old lady in person, and send the letter directly to the old lady, just say that I can't even eat a hot meal here, and ask him to let his wife come over quickly." ”
Liangshan's eyes widened in surprise, and he quickly took the letter and left.
Tong Changqing stood in front of the window for a long time before opening the drawer of the bookcase, taking out the plum candy that he had saved so hard and was not willing to finish eating, taking one in his mouth, slowly opening it, and chatting to stop his hunger.
……
The old lady Tong received the letter and went directly to the old lady.
"Look at it!"
He threw away the letter, and Mrs. Tong picked it up in confusion.
"What's that?"
"Your son's letter!" Old lady Tong was not angry, he took a fancy to a bird in East Street, and was about to buy it, but he was stopped by Liangshan, who rushed home, panting.
Mrs. Tong picked up the letter and read it, her face gradually deteriorated, and she finally slapped the table: "Okay!" He was dissatisfied with me, and ordered me! ”
"I said a long time ago that it would be good to let the third daughter-in-law go, Changning is more sensible than you." Old lady Tong muttered.
"Are you going to teach me a lesson too?!" Old Lady Tong raised her head angrily.
"Don't dare, I don't dare." Old lady Tong hurriedly waved his hand, "Anyway, Changqing's letter made it clear, he wants not only a person in the room who can take care of his diet and daily life, but also a virtuous assistant who can walk around with various houses on his behalf." What do you call a concubine? What lady would be happy to deal with a little concubine? Aren't you holding our son back? ”
The reason is such a reason, but when her young son said it sharply and directly in the letter, Mrs. Tong still felt that her face was gloomy, and she was angry.
"."
Mrs. Tong slapped the table with a bang.
Old lady Tong ran away in a hurry.
Xiao Ji was called to Songhe Hall again in the evening.
But when she came back this time, she happily took Tong Jiayan's hand and praised: "Jiayan, I really told you, the old lady just came to me and told me, she changed her mind and asked me to move to the capital to take care of your father's life!" ”
Tong Jiayan smiled slightly: "That's good." ”
The smile on the corner of Zhou's mother's mouth couldn't be suppressed.
……
"Smack!"
Aunt Luo was so angry that she smashed a blue and white porcelain tea cup.
Everyone in the crape myrtle courtyard is afraid to come out.
Amber instructed the maid to clean up the broken tea cup on the ground, and walked over to pinch Aunt Luo's shoulder.
"You take your breath."
Aunt Luo closed her eyes: "This is really a coincidence." Master Hui'an went down the mountain before saying that the people of Tongfu should not travel far within ten days, and today happened to be the tenth day, and the letter from the master was delivered home from the capital. ”
Amber also felt that the timing of these two events was too coincidental. If Master Hui'an goes down the mountain a day too late or the master's letter arrives a day later, Aunt Luo is on the way, and there is always a way not to go back to Jinling to the capital.
"Where's Mother Zhao?" Aunt Luo opened her eyes, and there was a gloom floating in her eyes.
Amber's hand didn't stop, and her voice was lowered: "Mother Zhao said that she would come over later to ask the slave maid for a trick." ”
……
Xiao Ji was tidying up her luggage in the room, and Tong Jianian pestered her every step of the way.
"Be good every year, when I settle everything in the capital, I'll send someone to pick you up, okay?"
Tong Jianian pouted, a little unhappy.
"Let my mother pack up her things every year, and sleep with my sister every year in the future." Tong Jiayan took Tong Jianian's hand and smiled at her gently.
Tong Jianian has rubbed his eyes several times.
At this time on weekdays, she was already asleep, and she was also holding on at this time, reluctant to let Xiao Ji go.
In fact, Xiao Ji had already explained it clearly to Tong Jianian during the day.
The new home in the capital was just bought, and the house is not big, but it is not easy to take care of it inside and out. At this time, she has passed, not only to be busy cleaning the courtyard room, but also busy to procure and arrange manpower, she must not be idle for a moment, where can she take care of the children. It's better to wait for her to take care of everything and then pick up the child.
Tong Jianian slowly let go of Xiao Ji's leg and let Tong Jiayan lead him.
Xiao Ji squatted down and touched her face.
"I go to sleep with my sister every year, but my mother hasn't cleaned up yet, so it's going to be late."
After Aunt Luo's accident, Xiao Ji was afraid that something would happen to her again, and she thought that she would leave quickly tomorrow, saving the old lady from changing her mind and suddenly not letting her go.
After the pendant is stewed, take the bird's nest.
The sparrow took it and brought it to Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji took a sip and frowned: "Why does today's bird's nest taste a little weird?" ”
Is it weird?
The sparrow sniffed.
Mother Zhou walked over: "Don't think about it, madam, this blood swallow is a good thing for women to replenish their bodies, and it doesn't hurt if you drink it." ”
Xiao Ji didn't like to drink these bird's nest things, but Zhou's mother stared at her, saying that she had made up for her body and gave birth to a few more young masters.
Xiao Ji drank the bird's nest hard.
I always feel that the taste of bird's nest today is indeed a bit weird.
……
Autumn is approaching, Tong Jiayan went to see Zhu Wencai once.
"I heard that you have to bring your own food in the examination room, so I prepared some cakes that are resistant to hunger and storage, and I wish Gongzi can bring them to eat."
Qingju brought the box over.
Zhu Wencai hurriedly excused himself.
"I wish Gongzi don't have to be polite to me, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, you are honored and I am honored, I will only hope for your good."
She spoke frankly, and even the smile on her face was so sunny and bright.
Zhu Wencai took it with red ears and thanked her again: "Thank you Miss Seven for your trouble." And as if assuring, he added, "I won't let you down." ”
Tong Jiayan said with a smile: "Don't be pressured, play steadily, you will definitely be able to." ”
Zhu Wencai couldn't help but secretly raise his eyes to look at her.
Tong Jiayan went to the front and talked to Mrs. Zhu for a while, and drew two new tricks for her before leaving.
