Rest overnight in the Lu Guogong Mansion, get up late the next day because of too much wine, and go to the outer city mansion until noon. As soon as he entered the gate, Steward Jing immediately came over and told Tang Tong that someone from the Ministry of Officials had come to read Tang Tong's appointment. When I went to the living room, I saw that it was An Jiazhen in the Ministry of Langzhong, and immediately saluted, "Senior Brother An, you have to go for a trip in person, I drank too much in Xinfu last night, and I overslept this morning, let Senior Brother wait for a long time, I hope Senior Brother will forgive me!".

An Jiazhen didn't mind, and seemed very happy, "Senior brother has been to Master's, and he must know his new position.".

"Master has already told me, Senior Brother An, please sit down.".

Tang Tong led An Jiazhen to the right seat of the main hall and sat down, and sat on the main seat himself. An Jiazhen waved his hand, "The appointment of the junior brother this time was directly intervened by the emperor, which shows that the junior brother has a bright future. Seeing that my brother has such a good deed, I will personally send it to you for my brother!".

Tang informed An Jiazhen that it was for friendship, he was Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Officials, and the appointment and dismissal was a matter for the Wenxuan Division, so he must have rushed to send it, but he still waved his hands very politely, "Thank you, senior brother, for this trip for me.".

An Jiazhen handed the appointment and dismissal letter to Tang Tong at this time, Tang Tong took it and looked at it, "Senior brother stay for dinner, my brothers and I have a good drink.".

An Jiazhen's heart was not here, the purpose was to let Tang Tong remember his affection, and hurriedly excused himself, "There is still something in our company, so let's leave!".

Tang Tong dragged him and wanted him to stay. An Jiazhen still wanted to leave, saying that it was not good to drink at noon, and he would be reprimanded by Xia Zhan, so he insisted on leaving, so he had to send him out of the house in person.

Back in the living room, Mao Zongxie had already read the appointment and dismissal documents, and when he saw Tang Tong, he said; "Congratulations, sir! This is the emperor's grace.", Tang Tong took it and looked at it carefully, because the appointment and dismissal documents asked Tang Tong to take office on March 25, and today on the 22nd, there are still many things to do. After eating, Tang Tong rested in the study alone, and in the afternoon, the housekeeper Jing came to report: "Master! Xia Zhan came to congratulate.", Tang Tong thought about it in a blink of an eye, and had a bad premonition.

Tang Tongli went to the front yard to greet him, and when he saw Xia Zhan, he immediately bowed his hand, "The cabinet minister is here, and I have never looked far to greet you, please forgive your sins!"

Xia Zhan also waved his hand, but he looked very casual, "Congratulations to Lord Tang on being appointed as the head of the Sanpin Household Department!".

Tang Tong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly waved his hands again, "Thank you!" The cabinet minister came to the door in person, and Tang was very grateful! Please sit in the living room!", welcomed Xia Zhan into the living room and sat down. Lu Jinlian served tea, and Tang Tong picked up the teacup, "Pavilion minister!" Please drink tea!".

Xia Zhan took a few sips of the teacup, looked at the mansion where Tang Tong lived now, and asked with some confusion: "Why does Lord Tang still live in this simple mansion, and when will he move to the Lu Guogong Mansion?".

Tang Tong didn't want Xia Zhan to feel that he was showing off, and besides, Xia Zhan also wanted to buy it, so he could only let himself take the lead, "The Luguo Mansion is just renting, or live here safely!".

Xia Zhan had long known about the agreement reached between Lu Guogong and Tang Tong, and he still admired it in his heart, "Why didn't I expect Lu Guogong to be a person who wants to save face, this trick of renting first and buying later is really a good move!".

Xia Zhan knew the inside story, Tang Tong was not surprised, this was not the purpose of Xia Zhan's coming, so he asked: "Didn't the cabinet minister come today to talk about this matter, right?".

Xia Zhan smiled when he heard this, and said, "I'm here to congratulate Master Tang on his ascension, nothing else!".

Tang Tong let out an 'oh', knowing that Xia Zhan was waiting for the opportunity. Xia Zhan stopped talking and calmed down to drink tea, and Tang Tong had no choice but to accompany him. At this time, I heard the voice of Steward Jing: "My lord! You wait for a while, I'll inform our lord.".

One voice was heard, "No! I'll go by myself.", Tang Tong quickly got up and walked to the door of the living room, and saw Qin Zhixuan rushing into the mansion angrily.

Tang Tong hurriedly greeted him and saluted, "Uncle Qin!" Inside please!". That knew that Qin Zhixuan didn't pay attention to it, and went straight to the living room. Seeing that Xia Zhan was also here, he was angry, turned his head to Tang Tong and said, "I'm here to get out of the marriage!" It won't spoil the good things for you and the Xia family.".

Hearing Qin Zhixuan say this, Tang Tong immediately understood the purpose of Xia Zhan's trip, and hurriedly explained: "The cabinet minister is here to congratulate me on my promotion to the head of the household department, not to talk about marriage.".

As soon as Tang's voice fell, Xia Zhan stood up and said, "Lord Tang was worried about the marriage contract with Miss Qin just now, please ask Lord Qin to make things clear.".

Qin Zhixuan was already furious, and threw down a word, "I'm here to get out of the marriage, although the Prime Minister will marry Miss Xia to him, don't care about the affairs of our Qin family!" Farewell!", turned around and left.

Tang Tong chased him out, and said while chasing: "Uncle Qin, you misunderstood!" I'm just talking to Xia Xiang.".

Qin Zhixuan was already carried away, and he spoke very impulsively, "It's not important anymore!" You and my daughter are no longer related.".

"Is this what you mean, or Miss Qin's.".

Qin Zhixuan didn't throw back a sentence, "It's our family's decision!", Tang Tong was stunned when he heard this, and watched Qin Zhixuan leave.

Tang Tong returned to the living room disheartened, and Xia Zhan was smiling proudly. Tang Tong looked at Xia Zhan and asked, "Are you sure that the Qin family will come to theorize, and naturally you will add firewood to achieve the result you want.".

Xia Zhan naturally wouldn't admit it, and said injusticely: "Lord Tang has seen it, I didn't say anything, don't wronged me!".

"I'm not Lan Tingshu, I won't give up just yet!".

Xia Zhan didn't force it, knowing that the twisted melon was not sweet, and said confidently: "I'm not an unreasonable person, as long as you can reconcile with the Qin family, I won't pester you, if not, I hope that Tang Gongzi can marry Qin and Jin with my family.", After speaking, he waved his hands and said: "Farewell!", and he didn't look back at you and left.

Tang Tong stayed alone and thought about it, and finally decided to go to the Qin Mansion immediately to explain that even if he couldn't enter the Qin Mansion, at least he had to let Qin Xinyi know his efforts.

Just after dawn today, Xia Zhan, the cabinet minister, personally boarded the door of the Qin Mansion, which surprised Qin Yunhou, and hurriedly welcomed Xia Zhan into the mansion to sit in the living room. The mood is so bad, what's the matter?", Xia Zhan was not in a hurry, he kept sighing, and just wanted to speak but wanted to speak.

Qin Yunhou could only ask again: "Xia Gexiang!" Please don't worry, please have something to say!".

Xia Zhan sighed heavily and said, "This matter is really hard to talk about, I will ignore my old face, please Qin Ge Lao don't laugh shamefully!", his face was full of embarrassment, and his face drooped.

Qin Yunhou knew that Xia Zhan had bad intentions, but he had to listen to it before he could make a decision, whether it was a curse or a blessing, he could only look at the back before making a move. Stretched out his hand and said, "Xia Ge, please say!".

Xia Zhan was still a little hesitant, "It's all unfortunate at home, my family Duqiu admires Tang Tong very much, so I asked Tang Daren to come over in my name, I affirm that Tang Tong and Du'er didn't do anything out of the ordinary, when they met in the back garden, they walked by a mouse, because Dusk was scared, they leaned into Tang Da's arms, and the two had some physical contact.", Xia Zhan looked at Qin Yunhou, Qin Yunhou just smiled faintly, Xia Zhan said again: "Originally, this matter could be hidden, but the second lady was careful, saying that Tang Da'er was engaged, and now Du'er's reputation was ruined, It's too evil outside, how can you let Twilight marry in the future!".

Qin Yunhou probably guessed Xia Zhan's intentions, so he could only let Xia Zhan say it himself, so he said, "Can Xia Gexiang explain things more clearly.".

Xia Zhan had long known Qin Yunhou's temperament, and said no longer concealed: "I heard that Miss Qin and Tang Tong are only verbally agreed, and they have not yet been officially engaged, can we fulfill our twilight!".

Qin Yunhou still didn't give in on the issue of principle, don't offend Xia Zhan first, and said embarrassedly: "This is my agreement with Lord Xiong, Xia Gexiang, you also know, how can Xiong Shangshu be offended!".

Unexpectedly, Xia Zhan had already expected Qin Yunhou to refuse, and immediately answered: "I have mentioned this matter to Xiong Shangshu, and I won't blame you for regretting your marriage.".

Qin Yunhou didn't expect Xiong Daoyun to be pinched by Xia Zhan, and the two must have a deal. made an excuse and said: "And Tang Tong's side is not easy to deal with. I can't get rid of this face.".

Xia Zhan saw the move, and pretended to be considerate and said: "Just let the eldest prince go, didn't you owe Pan Shangshu a favor last time?".

Qin Yunhou was very angry after hearing this, the year before last, Qin Zhixuan supervised the construction of a project, greedy for 20,000 taels of silver, and was caught by Pan Guohong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Qin Yunhou pleaded with Xia Zhan, so that he could say that he would take 15,000 taels out to pass the test. Xia Zhan has something to say, Qin Zhixuan returned Pan Guohong's favor, and you should also return my favor.

Qin Yunhou has no confidence at all, he is a granddaughter on one side and a son on the other, you just watch it. Qin Yunhou had no choice but to say: "This matter has to be discussed slowly!".

Nazhi Xia Zhan stood up and said, "No! In the afternoon, I will appear at the Tang Mansion on time to discuss marriage with Tang Tong, just to give Qin Gongzi an opportunity. Everything will be sorted out by then!", even after thinking about what to do, what else can Qin Yunhou say.

Xia Zhan got up and waved his hands, "Then I'll wait for the good news of Qin Ge Lao, today you will take a day off, I will go and tell the emperor to say goodbye!", Saying that, Qin Yunhou still had to send him off, and the taste in his heart was not something that ordinary people could bear.

Qin Yunhou told his wife about this, and he could only grieve Xin'er by weighing the pros and cons. This was said by Old Madam Qin to Xin'er. The whole Qin Mansion is seriously preparing for Qin Xinyi's marriage, Qin Xinyi is also immersed in happiness, and it is good news again and again, first Tang Tong Zhongchuan, and last night grandpa told the whole family that Tang Tong was appointed as the head of the Sanpin Household Department, and he was on an equal footing with his father at a young age. When I saw my grandmother coming, I thought she was here to care about her marriage. He happily greeted him and asked happily, "Grandma!" Why are you here?".

Old Madam Qin saw her granddaughter with a smile on her face, and she really didn't want to ruin her fun. I had to casually say, "Come and see you!".

Qin Xinyi helped her grandmother sit down and sat beside her happily. Old Madam Qin took all the people out, held Qin Xinyi's hand and asked, "Does Xin'er really like Tang Tong?"

Qin Xinyi was embarrassed to be asked, and said coquettishly: "Grandma, you know that you still have to ask, you have to marry him!".

Old Madam Qin is really a little unbearable, and she can only sacrifice Xin'er's happiness for the sake of this family. Said ruthlessly: "Xin'er! You believe Tang Tong too much, he does have an ambiguous relationship with Xia Duqiu, your grandfather has verified this matter, you have been deceived!".

Qin Xinyi shook her head in disbelief and said, "This is impossible! Tang Tong is not such a person!".

Old Madam Qin said carefully: "It's not that they have something out of the ordinary, that day Xia Duqiu hugged Tang Tong because she was afraid, and the two hugged each other for a long time, at that time, Xia Duqiu was afraid of affecting her reputation, so she kept silent, and now I heard that I was engaged to you, and the Xia family shook it out on this matter.".

Qin Xinyi couldn't rub the sand in her eyes, this was already a very serious problem, but she still didn't want to believe it, and said one after another: "This is impossible!" It can't be!".

Old Madam Qin had to convince her granddaughter, and hurriedly held Qin Xinyi's shoulders, "Will grandpa and grandma lie to you?" This is all true!", at this time, Qin Xinyi still believed it, and felt like she had been deceived, and she sat there blankly. Old Madam Qin hurriedly comforted and said, "It's better to know that he is a liar, so as not to deceive you for the rest of your life!"

Qin Xinyi said angrily: "I want to cut him off, and I don't want to see him again!"...

Old Madam Qin hugged Qin Xinyi's head and comforted: "Such a person is not worth cherishing, let grandpa and your father deal with it. Don't get around this liar!".

Qin Xinyi cried, feeling that the second time she gave her true feelings, she was stifled again, and she cried loudly. Next, Old Madam Qin didn't dare to leave her own granddaughter until she was quiet and fell asleep.
