Tao Li'er nodded, "Always keep a hand, you taste it." Tao Li'er said while sandwiching a piece of braised pork for Tong Yimeng, Tong Yimeng happily put it in his mouth, "Not bad, fat but not greasy, delicious!" ”

When Tong Yimeng tasted all the dishes, he was shocked in his heart, and now Tao Li'er's shop is really famous, if these delicacies are added, I am afraid that there will be a place for her in the capital in the future.

Tong Yimeng told Tao Li'er what he thought in his heart, Tao Li'er raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "I have confidence in myself, but I don't think there is anything to show off, everyone has their own way of living, I can open a restaurant to make money, and you can also make your own efforts to revive the General's Mansion." ”

Tao Li'er took in the loss in Tong Yimeng's eyes, thinking of what Tong Xinrou got rid of before, Tao Li'er led the topic to Tong Yimeng.

Tong Yimeng's cold face suddenly froze, and then he laughed, with a somewhat self-deprecating smile, "How can we be the same, we are in the court, where can you be so free and free." ”

Tao Li'er frowned, always saying that she couldn't help herself in the court, what was there that she couldn't help herself, "The road is all walked by yourself, what is involuntarily self-serving, what you don't want to do, is it possible that people can force you to do it?" ”

Tong Yimeng nodded, isn't this how their family is now, Tao Li'er thought of the current situation of Tongfu after speaking, looking at Tong Yimeng, who was a little frustrated, Tao Li'er felt that she still needed to enlighten him, "Brother Tong, I know that your Tongfu is wronged, but you I think that your Tongfu itself has problems." ”

After Tao Li'er finished speaking, she stared at Tong Yimeng, and sure enough, Tong Yimeng looked at Tao Li'er in disbelief, "You, what do you mean by that, what's wrong with our Tong Mansion?" ”

Tao Li'er raised her eyebrows, "There is no doubt that your Tongfu is a hero, but heroes are not so easy to be, have you ever heard such a sentence, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." ”

Tong Yimeng frowned, "What exactly do you want to say?" Tao Li'er sighed in her heart, it seems that there is a long way to go, and belief is not something that can be changed overnight.

"I mean, since you want to be heroes, you naturally have to bear the pressure of the title of hero. It's true to keep the hero's backbone, but after all, you are in the court, and if the water is clear, there is no fish, you know, your father is too upright, no one will give face, officialdom is like a battlefield, your father does not have an intersection with those so-called villains, what about the big official position? Commander ...... Uh, no, can a general with no soldiers win a battle? You know what I mean? ”

Tao Li'er said, while looking at Tong Yimeng's face, Tong Yimeng looked at Tao Li'er, although he knew that what Tao Li'er said made some sense, but the belief that he had been adhering to in his heart was denied, and he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Tao Li'er knew how complicated his mood was when he looked at his tangled face, but the fact is that he is like this, if he does not break or stand, once he enters the officialdom, it is as deep as the sea, it is not easy to keep his heart, but he must also learn to compromise.

Tong Yimeng has always strictly followed his father's teachings, and now that Tao Li'er said this, he wanted to get an accurate answer in his heart, "Are we still doing something wrong?" Those corrupt officials colluded together to do some dirty villain acts, do we still have to join them in the same stream, if even we are like this, if there is still war in the future, who will pacify it? ”

Tao Li'er pressed Tong Yimeng's hand and told him not to get excited, "Brother Tong, I don't mean that, I mean, compromise when you should compromise, people have to recognize the reality, when you were brilliant, you could have changed the status quo of the court by yourself, at least you want to be as chaotic as you are now, but now it's too late to say anything, if you Tong Mansion still want to have a place in the court, you can't be the enemy of everyone." ”

Tong Yimeng looked at Tao Li'er and didn't speak, Tao Li'er pursed her lips, "The emperor is still very good to you, although there is no substantial reward, just because your Tong Mansion has worked hard in front of you." Now that you don't have power, it's an advantage, at least the emperor won't be afraid of you, guard against you, I think, what you need to do most now is to tie up the emperor's big tree, let you go east, and never go west. ”

Tong Yimeng was not angry when he heard this, he knew about the emperor's reduction of military power in person, otherwise their Tong Mansion would not have plummeted overnight, a general, no military power, only the false name of a general hung there, which can last for a few years, the emperor's move is clearly to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Tao Li'er has also heard of it before, because she has studied history, Tao Li'er is not surprised by this situation, the merit is high, and the emperor is good at cutting power, and it is already lucky that he did not kill Tong's mansion, but Tao Li'er did not say these words directly to Tong Yimeng.

Tao Li'er is still talking about life with Tong Yimeng here, on the other side, Murong Mansion, Murong Lihe is packing up her things and preparing to sneak out of the door, last time Mengmeng almost leaked her mouth, which has already made the eldest brother suspicious, in addition to grounding her for a month, there are additional people in the mansion to take care of her, and now she wants to escape, so she can only take the unusual road - over the wall.

Today is to go out no matter what, yesterday I received a letter from Tao Li'er, knowing that today is going to open again, as a friend, it is impossible to stick a knife in both ribs, but business is always going to go.

Carefully pushed open the window, looked left and right, found that there was no one, moved a chair, stepped on the chair and turned out, and then touched his own courtyard wall, behind this wall is the street, be careful, you should not be found.

Thinking like this, Murong Lihe took out the sheets that he tore into one by one, with a wooden hook tied to it, and then threw the hook to the wall one zhang high with great effort, and threw it several times before finally throwing it up, pulling it tentatively, and found that it was quite stable, and his mood relaxed all of a sudden, and then he climbed to the wall with the rope, and he was halfway through the climb.

"What are you doing!" A familiar roar sounded from behind him, and Murong Lihe was stunned at his feet, and then he just fell, falling to the ground hard.

Murong Yanfeng saw the person fall from the wall, the anger on his face was replaced by panic, and he ordered his subordinates, "Look at what!" Hurry up and get the doctor! Go and pick up Miss! ”

When Murong Baihe heard the words of the eldest brother, her body was about to get up, and now she was caught over the wall, so she couldn't avoid being punished, so she pretended to be injured first, and she could hide for a while.

Murong Yanfeng hurriedly stepped forward and pushed a few maids away, frowning and looking at Murong Lily, "How?" Where did you fall? Is there something wrong with the legs? ”
