Tong Mingyu turned around and apologized to his parents, brother and sister-in-law: "Father, mother, there are guests at home, I will go back first." Let Ah Yi and Ah Yang stay, and ask the second brother to have time to test their homework. ”

"Then stay, it just so happens that I have time lately." Although Tong Guanghui didn't know what happened to the Xiao family, his sister's request was answered.

Mrs. Tong didn't say anything, and instructed her subordinates to load the prepared return gift into the carriage, and Tong Mingyu asked Qiaoyue to hug Xiao Yao, who was asleep.

"Ping An is still asleep, or else stay." Tong Shangshu was reluctant to give up his granddaughter, as for his grandson, he hurriedly hugged him back, thinking of the bastard boy, he still felt wet and smelly, and he was not comfortable at all.

"I know you like peace, in a few days we will pick her up Ah Yi and Ah Yang, so that you can hug enough." It is impossible for all the children to stay, go back to their parents' house, leave three of the four children, and they can't say it, and they can't do without their daughters. So in the face of his father-in-law's unkind gaze, Xiao Jingkang hugged his daughter tightly and walked to the gate of the Tong family without looking back, and within a few steps, he heard a cold snort and a hearty laugh from his mother-in-law who failed because of someone's scheme.

Xiao Jingkang hurriedly turned around to please his wife, got a white eye, bowed his head pitifully and muttered to his daughter, "Daddy, this is all for you, you must not abandon Daddy, otherwise Daddy will be too pitiful." ”

Back to the Xiao family, the husband and wife first sent the child into the Grace Garden, Xiao Yao had woken up, Tong Mingyu ordered someone to go down to boil medicine, after a period of recuperation of the daughter's recovery was good, the medication was changed from three times a day to once in the morning and evening, except for strenuous exercise, basically no different from ordinary people. Xiao Jun was probably tired from tossing and sleeping like a piglet. After everything was arranged, the two changed their clothes before going to Ninghetang.

At this time, in the upper room, the Qin family was accompanying a pair of people in brocade clothes, wearing gold and jade, about fifty years old, and looking like a husband and wife, chatting and drinking tea. At the bottom sat a pair of younger men and women, and behind them stood three teenagers, one man and two women.

"I've seen my mother."

Xiao Jingkang and Tong Mingyu saluted the Qin family.

"Come and meet your cousin."

Xiao Jingkang frowned slightly, what is the cousin of the Fang family, since his grandfather died, the second uncle is in charge, and the two families have become less and less. The mother blamed the second uncle for taking the position of the eldest uncle, and was very angry, and the second uncle complained a lot because the Xiao family refused to help. Although the relationship between the two families has eased somewhat, they can never go back to the past. This Fang Yufu is the elder brother of the second uncle, and I don't know which uncle.

"I've seen the Fang family's cousin and cousin." Tong Mingyu stepped forward and gave a salute, but it was just a title, and it was okay to call it. Now is not the time to fall out, just when Granny Bo laughs, that's all.

"This is Da Lang and Da Lang's daughter-in-law, the people in Kyoto are different, look at this bearing, look at this appearance, I dare to say that I can't find a second one in Xuzhou." Mrs. Fang's kind words poured out as if she didn't want money, and she was extremely flattering.

Tong Mingyu smiled faintly and walked to her husband, who had already sat down, and sat down elegantly. The Fang family, in the past, only heard his name but did not see his person, he had no impression at all, he liked it absolutely nothing, did he hate it? Less. When I came into contact with Tong Mingyu today, I had a very bad feeling, and I am afraid it is not easy to get rid of it. As long as the Xiao family is still concerned about reputation and the reputation of the Qin family, there is no other way but to compromise.

Fortunately, the agreement between the two families was ambiguous back then, only saying that the grandchildren of the Xiao family and the Fang family would marry, and who would marry and whose family would marry would be discussed separately, leaving hidden dangers and room for turnaround. If the Qin family was frightened at that time, they agreed to the Fang family's request in a daze. So what about the Fang family, Tong Mingyu showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, because the Xiao family has no background, no support, and the future is not bright. There are many generals who have accidents, in case the Xiao family has an accident or declines, just rely on a verbal agreement, regret who can do anything to him, it is really offensive and retreating.

Now that the Xiao family is soaring, the children and grandchildren are out, and the Fang family is here, the time is just right.

"Qinglian, Qinghe, I came to see Lord Tong, Mrs. Tong." Mrs. Fang beckoned the two girls to come forward to meet people, and said with a smile: "Take out your gifts, why haven't you seen a few young masters and young ladies?" ”

"What Lord Tong, Mrs. Tong, why bother to see outside, just call ......" I really don't understand what kind of seniority it is, Qin was slightly stunned.

"You should call Lord Tong, Mrs. Tong, the etiquette cannot be abolished, the rules must be established from now on, and it will be called whatever it should be called in the future." When they become a family, they change their words.

The meaning revealed is self-evident.

Is this a temptation? Tong Mingyu didn't want to hide it and replied: "The child's uncle is afraid that they will only care about playing during the New Year, and they will miss their homework, saying that they are going to take the exam, while my brother is free now, where will it not be good to point out one or two, the two little ones are back, but unfortunately they fell asleep on the road, and they can only wait for tomorrow to come back to see the ceremony." ”

Fang Yufu and his wife couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes were surging, what a coincidence! The boy of the right age in the big house of the Xiao family stayed in his grandfather's house, and the boy in the second room visited the master and did not return. What do you mean? It goes without saying that you want to quit on your own initiative? Fang Yufu snorted coldly in his heart, and didn't think about it. If the Xiao family is not as good as before, they don't need to open their mouths, and they won't mention the family affairs themselves, and now that the Xiao family is becoming more and more prosperous, it depends on whether they are willing or not. Back then, it would have been nice to write down the marriage book in black and white, who would have thought that! They are really in Kyoto, they have gained a firm foothold in the court, and they have a family that is more powerful than the other, it is really good luck, and the lucky stars are shining!

"It's a long time coming, and if there is an opportunity, we will stay in Kyoto for a while, deal with some things, and when it's done, we will leave." Fang Yufu, who had never spoken, spoke.

That is to say, when the relationship with the Xiao family is confirmed, it is possible for them to leave, otherwise......

Qin lowered his eyelids, twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, and the trace of regret in his heart expanded again.

Tong Mingyu got up and said to her mother-in-law humbly: "I'll go to the kitchen and instruct them to show their housekeeping skills and entertain distant guests tonight." ”

"There is still something in my son's study, so I will retire first."

was really in no mood to stay and socialize, Xiao Jingkang and Tong Mingyu unanimously chose to leave.

"You're tired all day, you don't have to come over to eat tonight, eat in your own room, and by the way, tell Qingyuan that you don't have to come, anyway, there will be more days to meet in the future!" Did the Fang family stay in Xuzhou for too long? still didn't know much about the Xiao family, thinking that they would be intimidated and self-righteous. The matter was caused by himself, and the Qin family chose to defend his son and daughter-in-law and take a stand.

"Yes, the son (daughter-in-law) is retiring." Xiao Jingkang left directly, and Tong Mingyu said goodbye with a bow.

"Sister, look at this ......" The granddaughter ceremony did not come to fruition, and all the previous preparations were in vain. The Xiao family is too inattentive to people, they come too quickly, they are so arrogant when they meet for the first time, how will their granddaughter live in the future? This is completely Mrs. Fang's unilateral idea, in Fang Yufu's heart, the interests of the family are above everything else, as long as the relationship between the two families is determined, let himself open the Kyoto market smoothly, and gain a firm foothold, sacrificing a granddaughter, he doesn't care at all. If it weren't for the Xiao family hiding their grandson first and embarrassing themselves, they wouldn't have said what they said just now, hmph, see how long you can hide.

Xiao Jingkang and Tong Mingyu walked slowly along the road to the courtyard, seeing that the master was in a bad mood, and the subordinates became more and more cautious.

"Big brother, did they ask for anything? For example...... "Determine the family, the candidate."

Xiao Jingtai was dressed in an official uniform, and his sword was still hanging on his waist, which showed that he came directly, and no one could calm down when it was his children's turn. However, things are a bit tricky, heavy, useless, and difficult to do.

"Maybe I should go to the upper room like this." Xiao Jingtai patted his saber and straightened his waist.

"Maybe you should just use it, maybe it would work better." Xiao Jingkang said lightly.

The matter was more serious than imagined, and Xiao Jingtai and his wife came to the conclusion at the same time, although they were depressed, they didn't care too much. The dignified general's mansion, I will be afraid that he will not succeed as a businessman, the big deal is that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it, after figuring it out, the brothers drank it together, and the two of them went to see the children together.
