Tang Tong has been writing articles according to the exam questions in the past few days, and the manuscript has not yet been finalized, and after Yuanxiao, it will be the twenty-eighth of the first month. As soon as it was dawn that day, Tang Tong and Mao Zongxie, He Wang and Xiao Ningzi set off, and they were the first to go to Xiongfu to pay their respects. Tang Tong handed the name sticker in. After a while, someone will come out, and Tang Tong will see that it is Xie Xuelong.

Xie Xuelong walked up to Tang Tong and saluted, "Lord Tang came so early!" Except for me, I was the first to come to pay homage.".

Tang Tong disagreed, and then saluted, "Tang Tong bows to Senior Brother Jianjian!".

Although the two are different in civil and military affairs, Tang Tong's official rank is one level higher than Xie Xuelong, so Xie Xuelong began to call Tang Tong as an adult, and when he saw that he was called his senior brother, he immediately changed his words, "Senior Brother Tang, the master is waiting for you inside, please!".

Tang Tong couldn't help but be polite, "Senior Brother Xie let's go together!", and the two entered the Xiong Mansion side by side.

Xiong's Mansion occupies a large area, which is too grand compared to Tang Tong's mansion, and the two of them came to the main hall. Xiong Daoyun sat on the main seat of the hall, and Tang Tong immediately went over and knelt down, "Apprentice to meet Master!", and then kowtowed three times.

Xiong Daoyun raised his hand, "Get up!", Xie Xuelong helped Tang Tong up, and waited for Xie Xuelong to sit down in the left seat before going to the right seat to sit down. Of the people who came to warm Mrs. Xiong's birthday last night, he was the only one who never went back. So Tang Tong was the first to come to pay homage to his birthday.

"A few days ago, at the Suntai meeting, the junior and younger brothers were very bright, which made people envious.", Xie Xuelong opened the topic first.

"That's no way to do it, I can't let everyone lose my part, my heart is not here!".

"I'm pointing at Miss Qin, I don't know if it's true?", Xie Xuelong went straight to the point.

"Oh!", Tang Tong just replied inexplicably, I don't know what kind of medicine he was selling, he was observing Xie Xuelong.

At this time, Xiong Daoyun spoke, "I heard that Qin Ge Lao likes that Henan Jieyuan, and he is just waiting for the unveiling of the list to decide on the family affairs.".

Xiong Daoyun opened his mouth, and Tang Tong probably guessed what was going on. He said confidently, "Isn't it undecided?" No one knows what the outcome will be until the end, it's man-made!".

Tang Tong's words have blocked the back road, and the two of them are not good at saying anything, so they will talk nonsense. At this time, Mi Huazhong came, and then Jiang Jingrong and An Jiazhen, and the three brothers of the Xiong family also came, so there were more things to talk about now, and the topic just now couldn't be mentioned.

When Mrs. Bear came out of the backyard, she was followed by a group of people. All eight of them stood up and waited for Madame Bear to sit down. Tang Tong found that Jia Lan, who was standing next to Mrs. Xiong, was very beautiful and very feminine, and she was also looking at Tang Tong. First, the three sons of Xiongfu took their daughters-in-law and grandchildren to pay their birthday greetings, and then the daughters and sons-in-law took their nephews and Jia Lan to pay their birthday together.

When he was able to go to the apprentice to pay his birthday, Xiong Daoyun specially asked Tang Tong to stand in front and stand with the four senior brothers, and the four ladies in the back to worship his birthday together. After the worship, because there were other officials and relatives who came to pay their respects, Tang Tong moved to the side hall to rest. The five officials were noisy with each other, Tang Tong and Mi Huazhong talked a lot, Mi Huazhong Jiaqing 24 years has been a member of the Jinshi, last year as the prefect of Baoding, and will step down as the prefect within the next year, so enter Beijing activities.

It was almost noon when the eunuch came to announce the decree and crowned Mrs. Xiong as the second-grade lady. Tang Tong and the five of them went to the hall to bow down again. After noon, a banquet was held in the living room to celebrate, Cao Shu, Qin Yunhou, Xia Zhan, Luo Yan, Ai Jing five cabinet members, six Shangshu left and right, and all the officials of the household department came. Tang Tong's five senior brothers sat at a table, and after Xiong Shangshu came to toast, Tang Tong was already a little drunk and slipped out.

In order to drink less, I walked around the courtyard to sober up, and when I walked to the corridor of the side hall, I heard a woman's voice say; "Get out of the way of me!", Tang Tong walked towards the other side where the voice came.

I heard a man's voice again, "Call for my brother!" I'll let you pass!", and before the voice fell, he came again, "Scream! Scream!" There are two voices next to it.

Tang Tong walked through an archway and saw three swingers in the corridor to stop Jia Lan from letting her pass. Just call your brother, and I won't lose a piece of meat for you.".

One person said, "Just scream, scream!" Scream!", and the other two are attached.

Tang Tong pretended to be drunk and stumbled to the boy who was in the middle, grabbed him by the collar, dragged him to the wall and stammered, "Tell me where the thatched house is?", seeing that there was no obstacle in front of him, Jia Lan took the opportunity to pass.

When the boy saw a drunken man, he didn't dare to provoke him, "I don't know.".

Tang Tong had words in his mouth and asked sharply; "I don't know?", he let go of him suddenly, and suddenly grabbed the collar of the other son and dragged him over, "You know what?".

The boy pointed to the right and said timidly; "From this side, I saw it.".

Tang Tong nodded and said, "Thank you!" and stumbled to the right again, the three sons confessed their remorse, and when they saw that Jia Lan had left, they returned to the banquet.

Tang Tong finished the thatched house, and then turned to the right is a back garden, see the garden scenery is pleasant, just turn around in the garden to see, the time of the small half pillar incense, it seems that the wine banquet is going to disperse, so he started to go back, just out of the garden to see Jia Lan go inside, when the two of them looked at each other, Jia Lan made a blessing ceremony, "Thank you Tang Gongzi for helping!".

Tang Tong raised his hand and didn't care, "No need to be polite!" I've heard of Miss Pu's name for a long time, and it's my great luck to see her today!".

Jia Lan stood on the side, he had the demeanor of a lady, and replied with some sarcasm: "Why does Tang Gongzi's words sound so harsh, I don't know what offends me?".

Tang Tong said indifferently: "Miss Pu is too careful, just to marry Xiaodang and marry Pu Jialan, this is really true!".

Jia Lan didn't seem to believe what Tang Tong said, and asked inadvertently: "It seems that it is really difficult for Tang Gongzi to tell the truth, tell me your feelings about Xia Xunqiu, you won't refuse, right?".

I am used to seeing Tang Tong's oily tone, and I still don't forget to tease at this time, "No matter how good it feels, what's the use of people who don't belong to me anymore, I'm interested in Miss Pu.".

Seeing that Tang Tong went around to himself again, he simply asked tentatively: "Oh! Tell me about it!".

Tang Tong's mind turned for a moment, and he said in a long voice: "Even three summers and autumns can't be calculated by Pu Jialan, whoever stays by his side might as well have a few more eyes!".

Jia Lan couldn't help but bow her head and smile when she heard this, a little flattered, "Is it so suspenseful?" I think that ten summers and autumns are also Tang Gongzi's dolls.".

Tang Tong laughed when he heard this, and stared at her very purposefully, "So it's very reassuring to put Miss Pu by my side?".

That Zhijialan was not shy, and she spoke cheerfully, "I'm very willing, I don't know what Tang Gongzi thinks?".

As soon as Tang Tong heard that the opportunity should not be missed, he stepped up to Jia Lan's side, and said, "Is it true?", saying that he went to hug Jia Lan's small waist with his right hand, and just hugged Jia Lan Seeing that Jia Lan had no intention of resisting, knowing that this matter was really as Jia Lan said, he couldn't help but let go and keep a distance.

Jia Lan seemed to know that Tang Tong would be like this, so she couldn't help but tease him, "Why are you afraid that I will stick to you?".

Tang Tong pretended to be calm, "That will!" I'm afraid that you will shout and lose my face.", there is no reason for the matter to continue, Tang Tong then nodded, "I still have something to do, farewell!".

Unexpectedly, Jia Lan shouted arrogantly: "Wait! Tang Gongzi is willing to leave me here alone?".

Tang Tong could only wait for her, and after staying by his side, he stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Pu first, please!", the two returned to the banquet together, Xiong Daoyun and Mrs. were sending off guests, and Jia Lan went up to stand beside Mrs.

Tang Tong waited for a long time, and when he saw that no one was leaving, he went up and said to Xiong Daoyun: "Master! I have something to say to you.", Mrs. Xiong and Jia Lan also heard this, and couldn't help but look at Tang Tong's side.

Xiong Daoyun felt that it was inconvenient here, so he looked at his wife, Cai nodded, Xiong Daoyun signaled to Tang Tong, and walked to his study, Tang Tong followed behind.

Tang Tong waited for Xiong Daoyun to sit down before he spoke: "Senior brother is present in the morning, some things are not easy to say, I can only talk to the master alone, I hope the master will not see outside.", observing his face as he spoke.

Xiong Daoyun pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down first!" Something to say slowly.".

"I want to ask the master to mention my family affairs, I don't know if it's okay?", Tang Tong spoke very tactfully, his tone was full of appeals, and he didn't say who to propose.

Xiong Daoyun is most concerned about who to unveil the list, and his heart is full of doubts, "I don't know whose girl the apprentice has taken a fancy to, I am willing to live from it!"

"It's the eldest lady of the Xia family, Xia Xunqiu!".

As soon as these words came out, Xiong Daoyun was surprised, and at first thought that it was Qin Xinyi, but he never thought that it was the daughter of the Xia family." This will not work! The Xia family has already married someone, and they can't do this as a teacher.".

"I know! It's just that the eldest lady of the Xia family wants me to maneuver around and stir up the marriage.".

"You don't like Qin Xinyi, why did you become Xia Xunqiu?", Xiong Daoyun was a little puzzled.

"Xia Xunqiu has been kind to me, and besides, I have long been in love with her, but there was Lan Tingshu in the past, but now it is different!", Tang Tong seemed to be sincere, not on a whim.

"What you fancy turned out to be the Xia family?".

"I don't want to ruin the happiness of the eldest lady of the Xia family's life, a woman has lowered her figure, I don't care about it again, am I still a man?", Tang Tong spoke in a loud voice.

Xiong Daoyun was embarrassed, he didn't want to stir up this muddy water, and he didn't want to agree, so he didn't say anything.

Tang Tong had made up his mind, bowed down and saluted: "I beg the master!" Just go and say peace, and then talk about it if it doesn't work out!"..

Seeing that they all said so, it would be too impersonal to refuse again. Xiong Daoyun agreed embarrassedly: "Then I'll talk about it!".

Tang Tong immediately waved his hand, "Thank you for being complete!".
