The movements in the ancestral hall and what was happening in the shops and courtyards inside and outside Wenshui City were reported to the old mansion one by one.

The person in charge of reporting the situation was the old housekeeper, who spoke quickly but clearly to make sure everyone in the house could understand.

Now in this room, in addition to Old Lady Tang and Chen Changsheng, there are also Folding Sleeves and Nanke, who are also telling stories, and they have just finished telling the story of Xueling and the story of the stone mountain.

The three people who were first called to the ancestral hall by him looked like nothing on the surface, but in fact they were the arms that the second child relied on very much. ”

Old Lady Tang said to Chen Changsheng, like a storyteller, "I didn't expect that my grandson has been locked up for three years, and it turns out that someone is still sending news to him, and his eyes are very poisonous." His methods are also neat, first covering the eyes, mouth and nose of the second child, and then scattering away with the power of thunder, but after all, it is still too conventional. ”

Chen Changsheng didn't know what to say, he didn't know much about these things, and he was not good at them.

It didn't take long for the housekeeper to come outside the house again and tell him what had happened in the ancestral hall.

"What do you say he's doing, playing cards in the ancestral hall?"

Old Lady Tang's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't see her joy or anger.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled at Chen Changsheng and said, "Is His Majesty the Pope interested in playing a few games with me?"

Chen Changsheng had no interest in playing cards, and he didn't even know how to play.

But fortunately, for him, who has read through the Daozang Kenshin since he was a child, it only takes a short time to learn, at least not an hour.

It takes four people to play cards, and Nanke and Folded Sleeves also sit down.

Folding sleeves also needs to be learned, although Nanke has played with a few sisters in the snow old town, he is not good at it.

So, of course, the game went very slowly.

Just as they were shuffling the cards, the news of the ancestral hall and Wenshui City kept coming into the old mansion and to the side of the card table.

"The eldest young master asked the maple group to go to the bamboo garden. ”

"The cloud group went to the quiet house and is said to have found several maps. ”

"Chuan Tang went to Hesi, but the account that the eldest young master asked for was never found, and there were traces of burn in the snow behind the house. ”

There are two tables in Wenshui City in the snow.

One is in the ancestral hall and the other is in the old mansion.

In fact, today's hand is played by two people.

Tang Thirty-six and the second master of the Tang family who was not on the table.

As the news of the return increased, the speed of Old Lady Donald's playing cards became slower and slower, and the expression on his face became more and more complicated.

There are reliefs, regrets, vigilance, uneasiness, and a touch of determination that is difficult to see.

At some point, a thin old man in a gray robe came to the door without making a sound.

The thin old man looked calm and looked like a retired official who had no quarrel with the world.

But both Folded Sleeves and Nanke felt a strong danger, even if Old Lady Tang was sitting at the head of the card table, he was still ready to transform.

The King of Linghai and Eucalyptus Lin also ignored the obstruction of everyone in the Tang family's old mansion and forcibly came to the small courtyard outside the house.

Because they also feel extreme danger.

There are so many strong people, but none of them found out when this thin old man appeared, and how he quietly walked into the old mansion.

The King of Linghai looked at the side face of this thin old man, and felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Even Old Lady Tang was surprised by the appearance of this thin old man.

"The snow is so heavy, why are you here? Is the rheumatism okay?"

The thin old man shook his head to indicate that it was okay, but he did not speak, if it was not that he could not speak, then it was a pity for words.

The steward of the old mansion glanced at the thin old man with some uneasiness, and while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he said in a trembling voice: "The eldest young master wants to use the torture hall." ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Tang was silent for a while, and took back the card that was about to be played.

"Let him use it, but for an hour, as long as he doesn't burn down the ancestral hall, he can do whatever he wants. ”

The old mansion steward's body trembled, obviously he didn't expect that Old Lady Tang would really agree to Tang Thirty-six's request.

Chen Changsheng glanced at the King of Linghai outside the door, wondering what the torture hall was, and the King of Linghai shook his head imperceptibly, indicating that the palace did not have any information about this.

The thin old man saluted Old Lady Tang, then nodded to Chen Changsheng, and left the old mansion without saying a word from beginning to end.

The card game in the ancestral hall should be going on, and the card game of the old mansion has started again, just when Old Lady Tang won the first game, the steward came again.

This time he sweated more on his forehead and his voice trembled.

"Big Young Master...... Five kinds of people are to be used. ”

The surroundings of the old house suddenly became unusually quiet.

Old Lady Tang's face changed slightly, slapped a card on the table, and said angrily: "Is he really going to tear down the ancestral hall?"

The steward hadn't seen the old lady get so angry for many years.

As for Chen Changsheng and the others, they hadn't seen it before, and they were surprised and even more curious, the name of the five kinds of people is so strange, what is it?

Old Lady Tang's anger gradually subsided, and he said with a deep look in his eyes: "Let him use it." ”

It was not long before the steward came to the house again, this time his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

"Tonglu...... Tonglu was burned clean, and the eldest young master ordered the fat son-in-law to light the fire himself. ”

"Tonglu is the second child's favorite study, which has a lot of calligraphy and paintings that he has bought with private money over the years. ”

Old Lady Tang said to Chen Changsheng.

It's very strange that this time Tang Thirty-six directly sent someone to burn down the study of the second master of the Tang family, but the old lady's reaction was very calm.

Obviously, in his opinion, Tang Thirty-Six's move that might intensify the conflict and ignite the anger of the second room was far less important than the torture hall and the five kinds of people.

Then new news came from the ancestral hall.

This time the news is a bit insignificant, just a trivial matter to be exact.

The steward said: "The eldest young master said that the stomach is not too comfortable, so he asked people to go to the Jiming Nunnery outside the city to carry a table of vegetarian food. ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Tang's fingers trembled slightly, and then he didn't know where he was thinking, and he was silent for a long time.

In the end, he pushed down the cards in front of him and said to Chen Changsheng: "Don't play." ”

The card game in the old mansion is over, and the card game in the ancestral hall doesn't know when it will end.

Chen Changsheng suddenly figured out something.

It turned out that this was not a game between Tang Thirty-six and the second master of the Tang family, but a game between Tang Thirty-six and Old Lady Tang.

Through these things that happened before, Tang Thirty-six proved that he knew all the cards in the old lady's hand, and he could play these cards very well.

For example, the torture hall and the five kinds of people.

It's just that what's going on with the vegetarian food of Jimeian?
