On Chinese New Year's Eve before the New Year, every household in the capital was delighted, and Tang Tong had long ordered to go down to Chinese New Year's Eve to do a big job. Only Lu Jinlian signed a deed of sale with these servants and Yahuan, and the others were free, and many of them went home for the New Year, only Lao Kuang's family, Ruan Zhan, Lu Jinlian, and seeing that Xiao Ningzi also returned home, Feng Susu stayed. A total of 12 people celebrated the New Year, and they were also divided into two tables to sit down.

Near dusk, firecrackers are firecracked, and every household begins to celebrate the New Year. When the Tang Mansion also began to set off firecrackers, Tang Tong and Mao Zongxie walked out of the study, watching the firecrackers finish, Tang Tong took the tiger to pay tribute to the ancestors before taking a seat. Tang Tong sat in the right seat, Huzi was originally sitting next to Tang Tong, but he wanted to sit with Shi Suo, Tang Tong had to follow him.

Mao Zongxie was on the left of Tang Tong, Lao Jing was on the right of Tang Tong, and Ruan Zhan and Feng Susu were sitting at the table. Tang Tong stood up and raised his glass, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone has worked hard for a year, tonight is open to eat and drink, there is no difference between master and servant, come and drink everyone!"

At this time, Su Su came over to pour wine, Tang Tong stretched out his hand to stop it, "Everyone eats and drinks tonight, no one needs to wait, you go and sit down!", as he spoke, he grabbed the wine jug and poured it for Mao Zongxie and Lao Jing, and when he poured wine for Ruan Zhan, Ruan Zhan stood up, "I'll come to the host!"

Mao Zongxie reminded him: "Let the adults pour the first glass of wine, and we will pour it later!".

Ruan Zhan listened and raised his hands to let Tang Tong pour it, and Su Su also stood up, holding up the wine that Tang Tong had poured with both hands. Then there was a toast to each other, when Ruan Zhan toasted Tang Tong, he was very excited, "I have never seen such an easy-going master, eating and drinking at the same table with our subordinates, I salute you!", said and drank it dry.

Tang Tong picked up his wine glass and smiled heartily, "That's because I didn't get married, and I can't be happy and happy if I have a woman around me!"

Su Su stood up shyly and raised his wine glass, "Master! I toast you! Thank you for saving my mom!", and said a dry mouthful.

Tang Tong waved his hand to show his attitude, "Susu! Don't mention it again in the future, it's all in the past, don't always remember it!".

Na Zhi Su Su still stubbornly said; "I'll keep it in my heart for the rest of my life!".

Tang Tong said no more and drank the wine. After sprinkling three rounds, there were only four men left, and Mao Zongxie proposed, "How about asking the owner to play a song if you sit alone and drink tastelessly?"

Tang Tong was also interested, and responded loudly: "Okay!".

Mao Zongxie shouted, "Su Su is here with a flute!", Su Su answered.

After the flute was brought, Tang Tong stood in the middle of the two tables and looked at everyone present. Mao Zongxie stroked his beard, "It seems that the old man is the bosom friend of the adult!".

"Why don't you wait for Brother Mao to play a song!".

Mao Zongxie hurriedly waved his hand, "Too bad! It's going to disturb everyone's ears!".

"I don't care! It's all about making mistakes!", Tang Tong was still teasing.

Mao Zongxie didn't make a sound again. Tang Tong first came to the cheerful and cheerful Heyangchun, relaxed and pleasant sound, Tang Tong only practiced skills, and did not pursue difficulty. The average person also sounds very good, and will say that you blow well. Tang Tong's next song is a shepherd song changed according to the pastoral song, which is also for everyone to listen to, without noisy ups and downs, and easy to understand.

After the two songs, Tang Tong walked to the wine table, put the flute on the table, and Mao Zongxie pointed to everyone, "This shepherd song still sounds pleasant and beautiful, you see everyone is fascinated!".

"Shepherd's song is looked down upon by everyone, but I think this song is a good choice for cultivating the mood.".

Mao Zongxie also felt the same way, and nodded again and again. Tang Tong said very sincerely; "Dude! It's better to play a song and sober up!".

Mao Zongxie couldn't stand the persuasion, and finally agreed: "Okay! Listen to my cacophony.".

The piano has long been ready, Mao Zongxie was obviously a little drunk when he came to the stage, and he stopped for a while before pulling out the strings, it was a song of autumn water, Tang Tong closed his eyes and listened, he played well, only some wrong notes, the right to entertain himself, no matter how good he played, what was the use, just be self-intoxicated!

Wait for Mao Zongxie to finish playing. Tang Tong teased him again, "Brother Mao! How about another song?".

"Don't dare to show ugliness again, adults play a few more songs!", Mao Zongxie did not forget to encourage him.

Tang Tong kept shaking his head, "I'm not in the mood!" I'll have a few more drinks with my brother!", now only the two of them were left, Lao Jing and Ruan Zhan left with interest, and the drinking didn't end until the time came.

Tang Tong and Mao Zongxie went to the study to drink tea and play chess. Playing chess, Mao Zongxie found fun, Tang Tong was not an opponent at all, so Tang Tong's six sons still lost.

Mao Zongxie did not forget to tease him, "The adult is really defeated and fought repeatedly, I admire the courage of the adult!".

"Do you have to give your dude the thrill of winning! Otherwise, how can you survive the long night?", Tang Tong threw away the chess pieces and said, "Okay! Dude came to watch me practice my fists and feet, how about listening to me play a few more songs if you still have time?".

Mao Zongxie readily agreed, "How dare you disobey!" I can also help carry a few buckets of hot water!", the two came to the backyard, Mao Zongxie watched Tang Tong practice martial arts, not everyone can persevere, after warming up, Tang Tong began to dance with knives and swords, lifting stone locks, the most important thing is to practice archery, this is Tang Tong's strength, half an hour in the morning Tang Tong was already sweating profusely, seeing Tang Tong finished practicing, Lao Jing immediately handed over hot tea.

Mao Zongxie stepped forward and said earnestly; "I insist on it for a long time, adults are not ordinary people, I admire this!".

"It's rare for Brother Mao to say this! I have to rely on Brother Mao to remind me a lot, without you, I don't know how to survive!".

"Don't worry, sir! Since I have promised my lords, I will definitely advance and retreat with them!".

Tang Tong patted Mao Zongxie's shoulder, "Thank you, Brother Mao!", the two came to the study again, rested for a while, Tang Tong asked Mao Zongxie to read the book if he had nothing to do, and he came to wash it himself.

Tang Tong came to the bathhouse, has been filled with a full bucket of hot water, only Su Su is in it, usually Xiao Ningzi in Tang Tong does not think, see Su Su with his hands to test the water temperature, in the hot mist to see Su Su just mature body, when you see the most convex and concave parts, your heart can't help but throb. I haven't been in contact with a woman for a long time, and I'm alone with a girl, I can't help but have a desire in my heart, this is Su Su walking by, Tang Tong has an urge to hug her, Su Su will never refuse his request.

Tang Tong took a deep breath, but still endured it, "You go out!" I'll do it myself!", Su Su answered and closed the door and went out, and Tang Tong soaked in the bathtub alone, releasing the depression in his heart.

After taking a bath, it was already a child, and firecrackers were set off everywhere in the capital. Tang Tong didn't want to get dirty anymore because he had just taken a bath, so he watched Lao Kuang's family and Huzi putting it away, blending into the joyful atmosphere.

In the dead of night, only Tang Tong was alone in the study, and he couldn't help but fall into reverie. Now life is the most comfortable day in more than ten years, away from the war and strife, no longer displaced, frightened. How nice it would be if there were always days like this in the future! But reality tells Tang Tong that he still has a lot of things to do, and he can't relax at all, otherwise he will fall into a catastrophe from which he will regret it.

The past is vivid, and only Tang Tong himself knows. How to do it later, fortunately, he is not alone, there are many pushers behind him, thinking of Tang Tong ignited a fiery desire, he wants to stand at the pinnacle of power and realize the impossible wishes of others.

At this moment, a voice sounded, "Have you thought about it?" It was Mao Zongxie who spoke.

Looking back at him, Tang Tong nodded, "I decided to break it from the outside, unite the Zhejiang Party and Qi Party, and defeat Cao Shu!", Tang Tong was very resolute when he said this.

"That Qin Xinyi is very difficult to break, unlike Xia Xunqiu, she is a woman who is very suitable for being a partner.", Mao Zongxie said what he thought in his heart.

"Don't be afraid! Xia Xunqiu also has her stubbornness, and if she identifies Lan Tingshu, she will not give up easily. Qin Xinyi is a blank piece of paper, I want to print it in her heart.", paused for a while, and said: "If you want to escape Xia Zhan's eyes, it's not so easy, it's better to go-for-tat!" Tang Tong still insisted on his own point of view.

Mao Zongxie nodded in agreement, in fact, he thought the same way." Then I'll put more effort into Qin Yunhou's side in order to create better opportunities for you.".

Tang Tong just smiled and turned around, as if a person was muttering to himself, "You still have to work hard!"...

Since Tang Tong was facing away from Mao Zongxie, "What are you talking about?", hearing Mao Zongxie's question, Tang Tong understood at this time, turned his head and said with a smile: "We have to work hard!" Try hard!".

Mao Zongxie laughed now, it turned out that he was deaf. But there is a special ability to judge what a person is talking about by looking at the shape of his mouth. I didn't see Tang Tong's mouth just now, so I didn't know what to say. Last time before Sang Rixuan, Chen Dingxian told him that he didn't respond, but fortunately, Tang Tong was thoughtful. There is also a person in Xiangxing Gambling House, Xiao Er pulled his clothes, only to know that Xiao Er was talking to himself, and ordinary people couldn't see it.
