In the new house, Miss Ling, dressed in a phoenix crown and harem, was sitting on the wedding bed.
From time to time, relatives and women of the Tang family would come over with their children to see the bride.
Miss Ling's face was rosy and she lowered her head slightly, allowing the female relatives to praise or tease her.
When the fireworks exploded, everyone crowded under the eaves to watch.
"Miss, come here and look at it, it's so beautiful!"
Miss Ling was pushed to the window by the maids.
Under the night, the fireworks are gorgeous and colorful, forming auspicious patterns.
The maids were chattering.
"Wow, there are also mandarin ducks. It's not easy to make these fireworks, right?"
"I heard that Second Young Master Tang prepared it for Master Ten!"
"Is the Second Young Master Tang back?"
"I heard it is true. Both Master Ten and the old lady said he is the second young master."
The news spread quickly, so the female relatives went to see the Second Young Master Tang again.
Soon, apart from Miss Ling, there were only Xi Niang and a few maids in the new house.
"Miss..." The maid wanted to say something, but suddenly a black shadow floated in front of her eyes, and her eyes lost focus and fell softly.
Miss Ling raised her head, the light in her pupils moved slightly, like a vortex.
People in the room fell down one after another.
A voice came in from the window: "Tang Shao is back, we can take action."
Miss Ling asked: "Is he alone?"
"I have a companion who seems to be a Jianghu man." Following the voice, a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared in the corridor outside the window. If Tang Xi were here, he would be able to recognize him as Mr. Ling who came to see off his bride.
"Is there only one companion?" Miss Ling frowned slightly, "Tang Shao has always been cautious. Could this companion be some kind of master?"
Mr. Ling Sanye said: "He does look like a master. But, there is only one person. At worst, I will drag him with me."
Seeing that Miss Ling was silent, he asked, "Why, you don't have the confidence to deal with Tang Shao?"
Miss Ling said: "If it was just him, I wouldn't be afraid. But have you forgotten that you found the person who came to our yard that night?"
Mr. Ling sneered lightly: "Are you talking about those cousins? They do have something, but if one has lost all his skills and the other is seriously injured, what can they do?"
"Intuition," Miss Ling said, "I feel that the two of them will be a destabilizing factor, so it's best to pay more attention to them."
Mr. Ling Sanye replied: "In that case, I'll leave all the people to you."
"Can Uncle San handle it alone?"
Third Master Ling disagreed: "I'm just trying to prevent him from entering the Tang Mansion. Even if the other party is really a rare master, I won't be able to hold him back, right?"
Only when there is a huge difference in strength will it be impossible to stop him. Mr. Ling is still very confident in himself.
He couldn't wait any longer: "We are so well prepared, there is no need to be afraid of them."
Miss Ling said calmly: "It's not that we are afraid, but that we have been preparing for several years. We cannot fail. The nightmare is exposed in advance and is unexpected. If our mission fails, all the preparations we have made in the past few years will be in vain."
"Okay." Mr. Ling San said, "What do you want to do? Do you listen to your head office?"
Miss Ling nodded: "The plan has been upgraded. Notify Wing Fire Snake and enter the city immediately!"
"yes."
Master Ling took the order and left.
Miss Ling glanced at the swaying maids, took off her phoenix crown, and jumped out of the window.
…
The fireworks were annihilated, and Haiyan exclaimed with admiration: "Second Young Master is still amazing, I have never seen such beautiful fireworks."
Mingwei couldn't help but smile.
I really can’t tell that Haiyan is actually an admirer of the Second Young Master Tang.
Just as she was about to speak, her sleeves suddenly moved and her smile stopped.
"Cousin." Mingwei called in a low voice.
Ji Xiaowu thought she was coming up with something to tease him again. He was about to laugh back, but when he looked up and saw her expression, he understood instantly.
"here we go?"
Mingwei nodded.
She stood in front of the railing and looked up at the Tang Mansion under the night sky.
A layer of fog that came from nowhere covered the mansion like a veil.
The noise coming from the market could not be heard at all.
The inside and outside of the house are separated into two worlds.
Ji Xiaowu saw this scene and murmured: "It's amazing..."
Mingwei's expression was very solemn, his eyes scanned the past inch by inch, and finally he said: "Send the signal."
Ji Xiaowu nodded and threw something out.
Fireworks shot up into the air, emitting shining light.
Because of the fireworks feast just now, not many people paid attention to this light, thinking it was a sideshow.
But Shi Qing, who had been guarding the side yard, saw it and immediately stood up from the stone bench.
"Here comes someone."
A Wumen disciple came forward and asked, "Dharma Protector?"
"Activate the Yin-Yang Formation."
"yes."
Wen Xiuyi, who was happily rushing to see Tang Shao, stopped when she saw the fireworks soaring into the sky.
"Why did it happen at this time? Is it really not intentional?" She frowned slightly, showing hesitation.
It has been a year since she last saw her senior brother, and she is now eager to see him again. But the fireworks...
After a while, Wen Xiuyi stamped her feet and turned her head bitterly: "It's bad luck for me!"
Then he quickly ran towards the library.
When Tang Xi saw the fireworks, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he turned to Mrs. Tang and said, "Mother, the banquet has been prepared in the backyard. You and the ladies can go and sit down to the banquet!"
Mrs. Tang received his hint and patted his hand: "Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Tang Xi smiled: "Don't worry."
He looked at Tang Shao again: "Erlang, you haven't been back for a long time, why don't you go and spend some time with your mother and sister-in-law?"
Tang Shao smiled and said: "Today we are having a banquet at home, and the backyard is full of women's families. It is not appropriate for me to go. Why not go with Uncle Ten first, and apologize to my grandmother and mother later."
Tang Xi thought for a while and nodded: "That's fine."
Seeing the female relatives leaving, Tang Xi said: "Erlang..."
He had just started to speak when Tang Shao stopped him: "Uncle Ten, there's no need to say more, I know."
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment and looked at him doubtfully.
Speaking of uncles and nephews, they are the closest among the Tang family's nephews.
Tang Shao was not loved by his mother, so he was raised by his grandmother and his uncle since he was a child.
The two grew up and studied together. They did not separate until they were in their teens, when Tang Xi chose to go to Kyoto.
But their friendship has not been estranged by distance. Even if they only see each other once every six months, they are still the two people who know each other best in the family.
Tang Xi thought, did he really know the inside story when he said this?
Tang Shao's reaction verified his suspicion.
"I originally wanted to come back earlier, but I found some clues and delayed it until now. The wedding banquet has already begun. I am throwing myself into a trap when I come back, but it also prevents them from preparing in advance."
Tang Xi lowered his voice: "You actually know? How did you know?"
Tang Shao smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later. Uncle Ten, answer me first. Is there another expert in the house? You don't understand mysticism, so this layout doesn't look like your handiwork." (To be continued)
