After a few days, Tong Changqing finally went to the capital to report on his work.

Xiao Ji took Tong Jiayan and others out of the city to see him off, and Aunt Luo also followed Tong Jiaxin in a carriage.

There is a hexagonal pavilion not far outside Jinling City.

Xiao Ji sent it to Changting, got out of the carriage, stood beside the car, and reluctantly said goodbye to Tong Changqing.

"Master went to the capital this time, don't be reluctant to spend money. The inn should be better, and the meals should be eaten on time, but don't fool your body at will. ”

Tong Changqing put his hands behind his back, looked down at her, and listened to her nagging.

"I've heard people say that the people living in the capital are all people who are either rich or noble, and the casual ordinary person I see on the road is very likely to be a certain high-ranking official or a relative of the emperor. So sir, when you're out alone, you have to be careful what you say and do. After all, I'm not by your side, and if you suffer a loss outside, I can't protect you. ”

Tong Jiayan was slightly stunned.

Father still needs mother's protection?

Tong Changqing looked at Xiao Ji with a speechless face and asked, "Who did you listen to this?" "Do you believe such an exaggerated and ridiculous statement?!

Xiao Ji raised his hand and straightened his neckline: "Oh, listen to the mothers-in-law who do things at home." ”

Tong Changqing: "......" didn't know what to say.

Aunt Luo also got out of the carriage and walked towards the two of them, still holding a cloth bag in her hand.

"Master, the concubine has been in a hurry these days, and finally made a long shirt before you go to the capital, and you take it to the capital, it should be regarded as a piece of the concubine's heart, okay?"

Tong Changqing glanced at her hand: "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

As soon as his words came out, several people present all set their eyes on Aunt Luo's hands.

She had a small strip of cloth wrapped around her right index finger and tied it in a small knot.

I saw Aunt Luo uncomfortably clenching her fingers in the palm of her hand, as if she didn't want to be seen by everyone, she smiled and said, "I was accidentally pricked by a needle when I was making clothes, it's no big deal." ”

Amber hurriedly muttered in a voice that everyone could hear: "My aunt was afraid that it would be too late, and she stayed up late at night to light the lamp and rush to work to see clearly, so she was accidentally pricked with needles several times, and her fingers were swollen......"

Aunt Luo turned her head and glared at Amber anxiously, shaking her head at her.

Amber pursed her lips aggrievedly.

Tong Jiayan thought this scene was very interesting.

This "inside story" is indeed much more touching to tell through Amber's mouth than it is said by Aunt Luo herself.

Sure enough, Tong Changqing's serious face couldn't help but relax a little, and he said in a soothing tone: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Aunt Luo turned her face half sideways with a shy: "Doing things for the master, the concubine is not hard." ”

Mama Zhou gritted her teeth with hatred.

The number of paragraphs of this fox is really high, how can Mrs. a little white rabbit beat her?

"Daddy......" Tong Jiayan also stepped forward, took a delicately styled food box from Qingju's hand, and handed it to Tong Changqing with a smile, "This is the pastry I made, take it to you on the road." ”

Tong Changqing's eyes quickly flashed two dazzling lights, which were obviously much more pleasantly surprised than when he received the clothes from Aunt Luo before.

Tong Jiayan curled the corners of his mouth, seeing that he obviously liked it tightly in his heart, and on the surface, he had to pretend to be old and steady and nodded to her: "Well, you also have a heart." ”

When he was about to pick it up with his own hands, Tong Jiayan suddenly withdrew his hand, making his action of reaching out to take it fail.

"I thought my dad would be very happy to see the pastries I made, but now he doesn't seem to be much surprised. Alas, forget it, I'd better keep these pastries for myself. Tong Jiayan sighed and shook his head.

Tong Changqing: "!! "That's his pastry, it's for him!!

"Ahem." He cleared his throat and raised his chin unnaturally, "You misunderstood, I was very surprised that my father received your gift. ”

Tong Jiayan raised his head uncertainly: "Really?" Daddy didn't lie to me? ”

Tong Changqing: "......"

It was Xiao Ji who knew Tong Changqing best, and hurriedly helped him reply: "Your father is just not good at words, don't look at him and don't say it, in fact, I can't find the southeast and northwest in my heart." ”

Tong Changqing: "......" or his wife understands him!

Tong Jiayan didn't ask step by step, she naturally knew what kind of character her father was, but she was just deliberately teasing him.

"Daddy eat slowly, you still have to eat when it's time to eat, and pastries can't be eaten as food."

Why is the eldest daughter so verbose?

Who's the child?

Tong Changqing slandered in his heart, but he still responded his face.

Stained with the light of his previous life, Tong Jiayan knew that if nothing else, Tong Changqing's last position in Beijing on this trip would be settled in the household department, and he would hang an idle position that was not light or heavy-a foreign officer.

He will not stay in the capital for ten days and will return.

So, she wasn't very worried.

It was not until Tong Changqing's carriage disappeared at the end of the road that he could no longer be seen, and Xiao Ji was ready to leave for his home.

Aunt Luo said at this time: "Madam, I want to take Miss Eight back to my mother's house to have a look, I have already reported this matter to the old lady before I go out, so I won't go back with you." ”

Mama Zhou wanted to speak, but was stopped by Tong Jiayan first.

"Auntie, go by yourself, just remember to come back early."

Aunt Luo looked up at her deliberately, smiled, and said, "Speaking of which, my mother has always been thinking about Miss Seven, and she asked me not long ago, why haven't I seen Miss Seven to see her recently?" Is it that when the wife comes back, Miss Seven doesn't want her as a grandmother? ”

Xiao Ji was a little puzzled when he heard it.

Tong Jiayan's heart was cold, and he came out with a little unceremoniousness: "Grandmother? What grandmother? There is only one maternal grandmother, who is now the old lady of the Ji family. When she goes out, her aunt's words and deeds represent the Tong family, and it is better to be rigorous in what she says and does. lest we fall into the tongue, we will only say that our Tong family has no rules. ”

This is the first time that Aunt Luo has been reprimanded mercilessly by her in front of so many people.

Aunt Luo, who has been happy for many years, felt humiliated by her for the first time.

Her cheeks quickly turned red, and her fingers pinched her palms fiercely.

Tong Jiaxin saw her being trained, and angrily stepped forward to block in front of Aunt Luo, and yelled at Tong Jiayan: "Seventh sister! How can you say that about my aunt! My aunt, she's so nice to you! How can you talk so nonsense about her?! ”

She was so angry that she pointed at Tong Jiayan, and she had no rules to speak of.

Tong Jiayan's dark and quiet eyes slowly withdrew from Aunt Luo, and turned to look at Tong Jiaxin.

Compared with Tong Jiaxin's anger and corruption, she looks much more calm.

"Eighth sister should really learn the rules when she turns back."

Tong Jianian held Zijuan's hand in fear.

Xiao Ji came out to play a round and said, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise." Jiayan also makes sense, she is also thinking about the reputation of the Tong family, Jiaxin, you understand. ”

Tong Jiaxin stomped her feet angrily.

"You! You guys! You're in this group! You're all together to bully us! ”

Mama Zhou finally seized the opportunity to reprimand Tong Jiaxin for Xiao Ji's and said, "Miss Eight! Pay attention to the wording and attitude! Mrs. is your mother! Filial piety comes first! ”

Tong Jiaxin was just about to reply, but Aunt Luo had already grabbed her hand and took her behind her.

"Miss Seven is young and ignorant, I will take her to make amends to my wife!"

said that he bent down and blessed the blessing ceremony.

Xiao Ji hurriedly said, "Aren't you going back to Luofu with Jiaxin to visit?" Hurry up, I'll take Jiayan and them back first. ”

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly pulled Tong Jiayan with one hand, and took Tong Jianian with the other hand and got into the carriage, for fear that Tong Jiaxin would stay here again and continue to quarrel.
