The Mansion of Lu Guo is just south of Suning Street, not far from Zhengzhi Street, and you can see the Huangji Gate of the Imperial City from afar. Tang Tong had been waiting in the Lu Guogong Mansion for a long time, and as soon as he saw the Qin family's brigade of chariots and horses coming, he hurried to the gate of the mansion to greet him. Seeing Mrs. Qin get out of the car, she immediately greeted her, bowed and saluted, "The junior has seen Mrs. Qin!".

When Old Madam Qin saw Tang Tong for the first time, she couldn't help but take a few more looks. Seeing that Tang Tong had a zigzag scar on his face, his face was slightly red and translucent, and he had gone through wind and frost. The appearance is quite handsome, and polite, not losing the elegance, is a man who dares to take responsibility. Old Madam Qin asked, "You are Tang Tong?".

Tang Tong hurriedly replied: "It's exactly below!".

When they met for the first time, there was nothing to say, Old Madam Qin looked at the big mansion in front of her and asked without asking; "Do you know the history of the Lu State Mansion?".

After all, the history is long, many interesting anecdotes have dissipated, only the popular recitation remains, in front of Mrs. Qin, Tang Tong did not dare to hold up, "I know some, if there is something inappropriate, please ask Mrs. Qin for advice.".

Old Madam Qin said with great interest: "Then you can talk about it briefly!".

Tang Tong saluted again, saying not fast or slow, "The founder of the Lu Guogong Zuosi, is the Taizu Zhaowu Emperor is small, and he has repeatedly made military exploits for the Taizu Zhaowu Emperor, when building the capital, he specially drew the largest homestead on the left opposite side of the Huangji Gate, and built the largest mansion in the capital, the Lu Guogong Mansion, which is for the convenience of coming and going to the palace.", and then said some anecdotes about the Lu Guogong Mansion.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qin praised her, "You still know a lot, why did the contemporary Duke Lu sell the mansion to you?".

Tang Tong didn't want to hide it from Mrs. Qin, according to the facts: "It's just a temporary right of residence, please forgive Mrs. Qin for the specific details, it's inconvenient to say it clearly.".

Old Madam Qin saw that Tang Tong had something unspeakable, so she didn't ask any more. I said to myself with interest, "I'd like to go in and have a look!".

Tang Tong immediately stretched out his hand, "I am willing to be a guide, Old Madam Qin, please!", and said and let Old Madam Qin and Qin Xinyi and other female relatives go first.

After entering the Lu Guogong Mansion, there were still people in it who had not moved out, but the main house had been vacated. Old Madam Qin and Qin Xinyi came to the big living room, the famous paintings and decorations had been emptied, but the furniture was still there. Such a large living room surprised everyone, and came to the main courtyard equivalent to the front yard of the Qin Mansion, with spacious space and many rooms, and the main courtyard alone is equivalent to the courtyard of a medium-sized family.

Old Madam Qin deliberately came to the master room in the middle, five into the big room, the middle is the meeting hall, it is completely a small living room, the first room on the left is the rest and dressing room, and the second room is the hostess's bedroom, which is very bright. The first room on the right is the bedroom for the girl, and the second room is the room for the baby and the wet nurse. Old Madam Qin smiled and said to Qin Xinyi: "In the future, you will live here, and you can accompany the children without leaving home!".

The second lady of Qin Zhixuan couldn't help but sigh: "Living in such a big house, it's better than grandma's life, Xin'er is really blessed!".

Qin Xinyi's heart was as sweet as eating honey, and she hurriedly said, "Grandma! Let's go look elsewhere.".

Old Madam Qin nodded happily, "Then listen to Xin'er!", and signaled to everyone.

Tang Tong was standing outside the house, not daring to disturb their interest. At this time, Old Madam Qin came out and said to Tang Tong in a good mood: "You will take us to the main place to see!".

Tang Tong happily agreed, "Okay! Come with me!".

Tang Tong passed through the door on the left side and there was a small courtyard, Tang Tong introduced, "The right side is also the same courtyard, the main seat is three rooms, and the wing room and the opposite seat are a total of seven rooms.".

Everyone looked around, Tang Tong led everyone to turn left from the side door into a small corridor, and entered the same courtyard, but there was no opposite seat, a total of seven rooms. From the small corridor to the left, there is the back of the master room, the main seat is five large rooms, and the wing room is four. Go straight to the right and there is a small corridor like the courtyard on the left, then turn left and return to the main courtyard.

Because everyone went to each room to take a look, they were dizzy when they turned around, especially Old Madam Qin, who said after returning to the main courtyard: "So there is such a big courtyard?".

Qin Xinyi reminded with a smile, "Grandma! We're back to the big yard where we started.".

Old Madam Qin looked at it carefully before she understood. Tang Tong took the opportunity to say: "Grandma! Let's go to the garden next to it!".

Old Madam Qin didn't refute Tang Tong's title, it seems that she recognized Tang Tong as her grandson-in-law. Of the six courtyards, only one gate of the main courtyard entered and exited, and everyone followed Tang Tong out of the courtyard gate.

To the garden passed many houses, some of which were still inhabited. Qin Zhixuan's second lady asked puzzledly: "Why is there still someone living here, is it a servant invited by the Tang Mansion?"

"There are still some families in the Lu Guogong Mansion who haven't found a good place to live, so I'll let them live there, and they will all move out after this month.", I saw that Tang Tong was a little reluctant when he said this.

The second lady of Qin Zhixuan praised: "I can't see that you are very kind!".

"People will have times when they are in trouble, let's make it convenient!", Tang Tong responded, only to see the second lady Qin Zhixuan nodding and smiling.

Everyone came to the garden, which was much larger than the garden of the ordinary mansion, and after a while, everyone was tired! When I came to the big living room, it was full of snacks and fruits, and after Mrs. Qin sat down, Tang Tong immediately brought a plate of osmanthus cake to Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin asked strangely: "How do you know that I love to eat osmanthus cake?".

Tang Tong said coincidentally: "It was Miss Xinyi who told me!".

Qin Xinyi looked at Tang Tong and didn't lie without making a draft, and didn't want to help him lie and said, "I told him, grandma, you can taste it!", Old Madam Qin ate two pieces.

Tang Tong kept holding it and said busily: "Grandma! You eat some more!", waiting like a ring, Old Madam Qin was very moved. Heartache said: "Enough! You find a place to sit down, it's tired!".

Tang Tong is still the same, "Grandma! I'm too young to be tired.".

Old Madam Qin said tentatively, "Are you complimenting me?".

Tang Tong hurriedly shook his head, "I just want grandma to know that I am sincere to Miss Xinyi and have no other intentions.".

Old Madam Qin turned her head and said happily to Qin Xinyi: "Tang Tong is really like your grandfather when he was young, he has a kind of tenacious strength!".

Qin Xinyi couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa is also like this when he is young?".

Old Madam Qin nodded and said to Tang Tong: "It seems that I have a fate with Tang Tong, so I really agree to the marriage of the two of you.".

Tang Tong hurriedly knelt down when he heard this, put a plate of osmanthus cake aside, bowed and said, "Thank you grandma for being complete!".

Old Madam Qin smiled happily, "As long as you are good to Xin'er, get up!".

Tang Tong was facing Qin Xinyi's eyes when he got up, and both of them had a kind of insincere joy, attached to each other, an indescribable sense of happiness.

Tang Tong and Qin Xinyi made a marriage, and the most anxious was Xia Zhan. Tang Tong's appointment has been conveyed to the ministry, and it is an indisputable fact that Emperor Jiaqing values Tang Tong, so the red man in front of the emperor let Yu Qin Yunhou be a powerful blow to his own party. Moreover, the second lady Wei Shi blows the pillow wind, and she must marry her daughter Xia Duqiu Xu to Tang Tong. After learning the news, Wei immediately came to fight with Xia Zhan, and the things he had promised were now in the soup, and he had no confidence to refute. blame yourself for being too late, and you have to wait until after the spring to let people propose, and now I regret it. In the face of Webster's nonsense, Xia Zhan only had good words to persuade him, but Webster did not give up.

Xia Zhan took the opportunity to hide out, and involuntarily went to find his daughter Xia Duqiu. Xia Duqiu, who got the news, looked haggard, and sat in the room in a daze. The matter was a foregone conclusion, and Xia Zhan couldn't change it, as soon as he saw Xia Duqiu, he asked, "Dusk! Want to open some! Father will find you a better one!".

Xia Duqiu's anger has not subsided, but Xia Zhan has a sentence that is very right, she wants to open more, but she can't do it, which is also where Xia Duqiu is most angry. One yard to one yard, Xia Duqiu still blamed: "It's all your fault!" Don't go to propose soon.".

Xia Zhan didn't argue, and comforted Yan softly, "It's my father who did something wrong, but I'm also for your good!" Who knows if he will make the list!".

Xia Duqiu is not an unreasonable person, and she thinks that she is quite accurate in looking at people, "I said it a long time ago, Tang Tong is both civil and military, you just don't believe it, it's too late now!".

"I just didn't expect the Qin Mansion to agree to this family business, it's all Dad's fault, don't be angry!".

Xia Duqiu hated hindsight the most, and said sharply: "It's just that you don't look down on him, both civil and military can do business, and his family is rich, such a man, who doesn't envy him, and those who have a heart have long been thinking about it!".

Xia Zhan was discouraged by his daughter's rhetorical question, and said fiercely: "Do you really want to marry Tang Tong?"

Xia Duqiu actually understood the meaning of his father's words, and said very sincerely: "Didn't Tang Tong marry Qin Xinyi, can there be room for maneuver in this matter?".

Xia Zhan patted his chest, "My stupid child, the person you like has to be firmly grasped, I have inquired clearly, the Qin family only verbally agreed, that is, there is a marriage contract, and my father also has a way to let the Qin family withdraw from the marriage, you just wait to get married!".

Although there is not much contact with Tang Tong, Xia Duqiu knows that Tang Tong is a sleek and sophisticated, and a hot-blooded man, it used to be because of his sister, but now this is no longer an obstacle, Tang Tong has become his best choice. Xia Zhan saw that Xia Duqiu was hesitating, and immediately announced the good news, "Tang Tong has been awarded the head of the Zhengsanpin Household Department, and has become a celebrity around the emperor, and his future is limitless!".

Xia Duqiu actually cares more about this, she is a person who loves power, and she doesn't think it's too authentic to do this, and she is a little ashamed of Tang Tong, but if she wants to say it herself, she really can't say it for a while...

Seeing that Xia Duqiu didn't speak for a long time, Xia Zhan simply said arbitrarily: "Since Daddy promised you this marriage, he will definitely do what he says!" Whether I like Tang Tong or not, if I don't say anything, it means that I like it, and if I don't like it, I can talk!".

Xia Zhan waited for a long time, and when he saw that Xia Duqiu still didn't squeak, he said loudly: "The next thing that follows has nothing to do with you, it's all done by Daddy alone!", and left in a hurry after speaking.
