Xi'er didn't like the two grandmothers of the Tong family looking up and down, but because she was afraid of Tong Jiayan's face, she was embarrassed to open her mouth to reprimand and drive people away.

Just as their food was delivered, Tong Jiayan got up and said goodbye: "I won't bother you." ”

Mrs. Qi nodded: "Go and eat, don't be hungry." ”

Tong Jiayan is gone, even if Mama Gui is curious, it is not good to stay here, so she has to follow Tong Jiayan and leave together.

After breakfast and a short rest, Jixiang came over to ask Tong Jiayan for advice on whether he could set off.

Tong Jiayan said yes, got up and went to say goodbye to Mrs. Qi, and gave Mrs. Qi a bottle of mints.

Mrs. Qi turned around and handed it to Xi'er to put away.

Mrs. Qi pulled her and said a lot of words, saying that if she had the opportunity to go to the capital one day, she would definitely go to Qi Mansion as a guest, so she reluctantly sent her to the car.

Soon after Tong Jiayan left, Mrs. Qi also left for the capital.

After another three days, Tong Jiayan and his party finally returned to Jinling in the afternoon of the day.

"Miss, I'm home."

Tong Jiayan got out of the car and looked up at the gate of Tong's house.

After a lifetime, she finally came back here.

……

"Miss Seven, you go slowly, the slave maid will go to Songhe Courtyard to report to the old lady first, and I won't accompany you." Mama Gui greeted Tong Jiayan with a smile on her face, and left in a hurry.

Tong Jiayan walked all the way and revisited the scenery of the Tong family's inner house.

The courtyard of the four entrances, through the long verandah, all the way to the north, through a high shadow wall with a pine crane longevity map, came to the main courtyard where the old lady Tong lived - the pine crane courtyard.

In front of them, there were two third-class sprinkler maids, dressed in gray dresses, squatting on both sides of the door against the sun, with their backs to them, moving and moving, not knowing what they were doing.

When they got closer, they found that it was weeds growing in the cracks in the wall at the entrance of the courtyard.

Hearing movement behind them, the two maids turned around, looked at the three people who suddenly appeared in a daze, and forgot to get up and speak for a while.

Or Mama Zhao stepped forward and said, "Where did the little girl come from, I didn't know how to salute when I saw Miss Seven come back?!" ”

The two maids hurriedly stood up and saluted nervously, "Hello Miss Seven." "It's still dirt in my hands, and I can't hold it, and I can't put it against my skirt.

Tong Jiayan glanced at Mama Zhao.

The little maid didn't know how to be polite to her again, and it was also a person from Mrs. Tong's courtyard, at the gate of Mrs. Tong's courtyard. As soon as they came back, Mama Zhao talked about the third-class maid in Mrs. Tong's courtyard, will others guess whether Mama Zhao's move was intentional or unintentional? Could it be mistaken that it was Mama Zhao who was instructed by her?

No matter how you understand it, if you really think about her, they just came back from this trip, and they came to Old Lady Tong's Songhe Courtyard to ask for peace, they should be low-key talents, right?

Tong Jiayan smiled at the two little maids: "Don't be nervous, I just came back from Beizhuang, and my appearance has changed a little, and it is normal that you don't recognize it for a while." The tone is gentle, and it is very different from Mama Zhao.

When the little maids saw her speak so gently, they calmed down a little.

"The old lady is in the house, and the slave will go to give Miss Seven a gift." One of the maids hurriedly ran in with a red face.

When Tong Jiayan walked to the porch, Mama Fang, the real person in charge next to Mrs. Tong, happened to pick up the bamboo curtain from the back room and walked out, followed by Mama Gui.

Mama Gui had probably finished talking inside, and when she saw Tong Jiayan, her face showed a sense of relief that everything was done.

"Miss Seven came back just in time, the old lady just woke up, and she asked the slave to come out to pick you up." Mama Fang said with a smile, then turned back to Mama Gui and said, "The old lady said, let you go down and rest, you can leave quickly." ”

Mama Gui smiled with a smile: "It's strange that everyone wants to come to our Songhe Courtyard on an errand, and the old lady is kind to the people below." Then I'll go down to rest first, and then I'll talk to you in the evening." ”

There was a tacit look between the two.

Mama Gui hurriedly saluted Tong Jiayan and left happily.

Tong Jiayan followed Mama Fang into the door of the main room.

In the main room, Mrs. Tong sat high on the Nanmu chair next to the Eight Immortals table placed against the wall in the center, with her eyes closed, one hand on the edge of the chair, and the other on the table, as if she was dozing.

Tong Jiayan stood at the bottom, silent.

Mama Fang walked over, stood beside Old Lady Tong, bent down and shouted softly, "Old lady, Miss Seven is here." ”

Tong Jiayan raised her head and saw that Mrs. Tong gently lifted her eyelids, and a sharp gaze without warmth fell on her in an instant.

"My granddaughter wishes peace to my grandmother, and I wish her good health." Tong Jiayan hung his head and bowed.

For a long time, no sound sounded.

She kept her body motionless.

I don't know how long it took for a cold, emotionless voice to come from overhead.

"Get up."

"Thank you, grandmother."

Tong Jiayan stood up straight, still keeping his head down. She was afraid that the hatred in her eyes would not be able to hide it, and let the person sitting on it see it.

Since the beginning of her last life, she has never understood why Mrs. Tong is so biased.

Not to mention the children of the other two rooms, just talk about their room, Mrs. Tong treats Luo's tenth brother Tong Yimin and eighth sister Tong Jiaxin much better than her brother Tong Yihang and her, and the ninth sister Tong Jianian.

Later, she learned that it turned out that Mrs. Tong didn't like their concubines in this house because of the relationship between her great-grandmother Zhao.

The current head of the Tong family, Mrs. Tong, was originally also a concubine, but he was raised by Zhao's side, and he became the son of Zhao's son.

The Zhao family is very strict with his children, especially in terms of money, and will never let his children spend lavishly and indiscriminately.

When he reached the age of marriage, Mrs. Tong took it upon herself to secretly look at Mrs. Tong, who was born in a business, but Zhao disagreed, and forcefully set Mrs. Tong's daughter Liu as his wife.

Mrs. Tong didn't dare to resist, so she could only break the oath with Mrs. Tong and marry Liu home, and Mrs. Tong couldn't afford to fall ill after learning the news.

Who knew that the world was unpredictable, a year later Liu died of dystocia, and Mrs. Tong cheered up, and somehow, she reconnected with Mrs. Tong.

As soon as the filial piety period passed, the old lady Tong came to the door to propose, and after a year, the old lady Tong married into the Tong family as she wished as a stepmother.

It's just that her holiday with the Zhao family has already been planted.

When Mr. Tong was born, Zhao originally wanted to take the child away to take her, but before Mrs. Tong came out, she knelt at the gate of Zhao's courtyard with the child in her arms, crying without saying a word.

The old lady Tong was caught in the middle and was in a dilemma, and Zhao was so angry that he closed the courtyard door and asked him to bring his wife and children back.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was tense for a while

Until Mrs. Tong was pregnant with her second child, she suffered a difficult birth, injured her body, and finally gave birth to a pair of twins.

This time, Zhao strongly pointed out that Mrs. Tong couldn't take care of the two children by herself, and in front of Mrs. Tong, after he nodded, he took away the third master Tong Changqing.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is directly frozen.
