Tong's mother was sitting on a chair waiting. When she saw the master coming back, she went up to him and said, "The master is back. So now we are here? What do you say about Tong'er? Are you looking at your thin face today?"
Qiu Yan, will King Yuxian calm things down?"
He said and handed him a cup of Taiping Houkui to drink with.
"Old man Haiyin blocked the way." Tong Changtuo took the tea, but he was not in the mood to drink it. He just slammed the tea cup on the table, "I didn't even go in the Xuanwu Gate! I didn't see Master Jin. I can tell.
, this old man Haiyin has already bribed Prince Yuxian! He doesn’t want the three mansions in my Saixi Zhimen. It must be Prince Yuxian who has given him great benefits. I’m afraid there are more than three mansions, maybe five or six.
, Otherwise, how can I treat King Xian as if he is his own child!"
Lian Xin, the virgin mother, immediately covered her face with a handkerchief and kept crying. She walked to the door and saw beacon fires burning on the towers of the imperial city. There were countless imperial guards on the streets of Zhengfu. She was palpitating and ran back to the hall.
, "Sir, these imperial guards patrolling Zhengfu Street at night, plus the beacon fire, are specifically designed to intimidate our family? Could it be that the emperor has also been bribed by the Yuxian King? How many houses must be bought to bribe the emperor?!"
Snapped.
"Ignorance! Who can bribe the emperor?! The imperial army's attack on the city should be due to the emperor strengthening the guards in the city after the incident of the Western Bandits. But the imperial army is outside the house. I can't teach people to deal with the emperor secretly." Tong Changtuo heard his wife crying.
, then slapped his wife on the cheek, "How unbecoming it is to cry! My luck has been wiped out by you crying!"
Lian Xin was cowardly, covering her cheeks and not daring to make a sound, and shouted softly: "Master, don't hit me."
"Where's Han'er! How come I haven't seen you yet!" Tong Changtuo paced back and forth anxiously in the hall.
"Han'er is still outside the Qiu Mansion. I just sent someone to teach him and called him again, but he still refused to come back. I can't bear to leave Qiu Yan." Lian Xin secretly examined the master's expression. The master has a bad temper and is afraid that he heard that his son is a woman.
If you lose your composure, you will become even more angry.
Hearing this, Tong raised his foot and kicked Lian Xin into the heart of his wife, knocking Lian Xin to the ground, "What a good son you gave birth to! It's already humiliating to have the engagement broken off by that little bitch. That bitch won't let you go. You will have to go to court tomorrow morning."
Chasing the bite, he should discuss the countermeasures with me at this time. How can he act sad regardless of his future! Bah! It’s useless! A man who is not poisonous will not be a husband!"
Lian Xin held her heart for a long time and didn't react. She was afraid of her husband and worried about her son. Her maid helped her up and called Madam, are you okay? Madam, Lian Xin sat on the chair and said with red eyes: "
It turns out that he is no better than the master. You never put women in your eyes. What should I do now? Is there any way, master, to save my poor son? I, Lian Xin, am just that evil son."
Tong Changtuo sat on the chair angrily, took a sip of tea, and actually drank a piece of tea leaf in his mouth. He was so angry that he dropped the tea cup to the ground. The tea cup was broken into pieces on the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere, "Humph,
It's not that simple to marry my son. Tomorrow, I will take a preemptive strike and pour dirty water on that little bitch Qiu Yan. Don't you think about how a woman can become a high official? How can she make Prince Yuxian's spirit come to life?
How could it help her? He must have sold his body in a despicable way."
"I am also extremely disappointed with Qiu Yan." Lian Xinru saw hope, "Does the master have any chance of winning? It is best to do one thing and do the other without stopping, kill the bitch, make Long Yan furious, and punish her on the spot!"
"Of course there is a chance of winning!" Tong Changtuo smiled sinisterly and said bitterly: "I want to teach Qiu Yan to be ashamed in the court tomorrow. Isn't she going to go to the General's Palace tomorrow to receive the title of Duke Protector? Oh, it can't be done.
She will be robbed of her feathers again! And Prince Yuxian, I will also pull her down! It’s not that easy to overthrow me, Tong Changtuo! We’ll see!”
With that said, he went down to the study to prepare a memorial.
***
Qiufu
Lilac bushes, lilac flowers fell, and a delicate fragrance filled the courtyard.
After the children's parents left, Qiu Yan originally planned to enter the hall.
Cai'er came over and pulled the lady's sleeves, and pointed to the door, "General Tong is sitting on the threshold, refusing to leave. He keeps looking at you, as if he wants to put you in his eyes. What should I do?
Ah, miss."
Qiu Yan looked in the direction Cai'er pointed, and saw Tong Han holding the guqin and staring towards her, with a look of reluctance and fear that the powerful would not get close to her, describing her as extremely decadent.
Qiu Yan has known him for twenty-five years, and he has always been quite arrogant. Perhaps he did not expect that Qiu Yan, whose family was dissatisfied, would get the position of Duke Protector, break off the engagement with him, and then use things that shocked them.
Kuo quickly switched to the service of his younger brother, Prince Yuxian, so he felt unwilling to do so and said, "Don't pay attention to him."
"Yes." Cai'er said.
The waist was tightened, and Qiu Yan was gently wrapped by an arm from behind, and then she was brought into his arms. The warm medicinal fragrance lingered around her, and the voice that made her feel half numb sounded in her ears, "He expressed
It’s so miserable, my sister can’t bear it anymore?”
Qiu Yan turned around and saw Cang Miao locking her with gentle and affectionate eyes, and the arms around her waist tightened slightly, as if... competing for favor.
Qiu Yan meekly leaned her head on his chest and said in despair: "It's not that I can't bear it. I just feel that people's hearts are unpredictable. If it hadn't been for the fact that he was picked off by the emperor and sent to the bottom this time, I wouldn't have had the chance to recognize him clearly.
! A person like him is not worthy of being a general! Miracle doctor, I grew up with him since we were young, and to this day and age, I really feel uncomfortable."
Cangmiao touched the top of her neck and said, "People's hearts are separated from each other. Only in difficult situations can we see the true heart. After all, you are young and don't know the complexity of people's hearts. You will definitely learn to be more alert to the people around you this time. As the saying goes, you can tell the distance of your horse.
Over time, it shows up in people’s hearts.”
Qiu Yan nodded, "Yeah."
Cangmiao let go of her body and leaned a little awkwardly under the pillars of the corridor, "I came here today to propose marriage. When I walked in and saw him kissing you, it was hard for you. I was really frightened."
"Are you angry?"
"No, Qiu Yan. I have said more than two or three times that I will not be angry with you. Maybe I am jealous, but most of all I am afraid."
"Fear?"
"I came over to propose marriage, and he was there, and his parents were also there. I was really worried that you would reconcile in a blink of an eye. Then my enthusiasm would be redundant." Cangmiao frowned as she said that, "I have to bring him with me.
I went home with my parents and my wedding gift. Qiuyan, it is not easy for me to take this step. I am actually quite timid, and I am afraid that I will lose it before I get it..."
Seeing the worry in his description, Qiu Yan took the initiative to hug his waist, "I may feel that it is a pity to have such a falling out with him, my childhood sweetheart of more than 20 years. But it will not affect your status in my heart. No.
People can replace the place of the miracle doctor in my heart. It was you who went to give me a tumbler under the boxwood tree on that rainy evening and pulled Qiuyan out of the abyss. Qiuyan may be slow, but Qiuyan is not stupid.
, know who is good to me."
"I can't get enough of my sister's heartfelt words." Cangmiao's restless heart suddenly felt a little safer. He glanced at his ex at the door of the house, his eyes darkened, and then he looked at Qiu Yan and said, "In my eyes
Maybe there is sand in it, please help me blow it away, and remove the sand..."
Qiu Yan was simple-minded and didn't know the deeper meaning. She quickly said with concern, "Okay, you sit on the chair."
Cangmiao sat down on the wicker chair in the corridor, Qiuyan stood in front of him, and he put his hands on her waist. She supported his eyes, carefully searched for the sand, and blew the wind gently.
Looking from the direction of Tong Han, it was as if Qiu Yan was kissing Cang Miao. There was a dull pain in his heart, a fishy taste in his throat, he was vomiting blood, and there were bright red blood stains on the corners of his mouth. He ran out of Qiu Mansion like crazy.
Go to the chestnut forest at the end of Zhengfu Street.
His family lived at No. 12 Zhengfu Street, and Qiuyan's family lived at No. 5 Zhengfu Street, seven or eight families apart.
When they were still in their hometown in the north, they had played together since childhood and visited her house back and forth. After the capital was moved to the south, he visited her house more frequently and often went for walks with her.
They discovered the chestnut forest near their home. In October, the chestnuts would explode and fall all over the floor. He and Qiuyan would pick chestnuts together under the scorching October sun. Qiuyan would be as free and easy as a little boy.
Lifting the hem of his clothes, he pocketed a bagful of chestnuts and said to Tong Han, "Look how many I picked up."
At that time, he was not in the mood to pay attention to how many chestnuts she picked up. He would only frown and say that she did not look like a girl and did not look good with her clothes lifted up. Now he regretted it. He should have counted how many chestnuts she picked up at that time. He remembered that after he was picky,
, she would often lower her head in despair and stop talking.
Originally, he planned to pick chestnuts with her in October this year.
But it's only April now, and Qiuyan doesn't want him anymore.
He looked at the chestnuts that had just sprouted on the tree under the moonlight, and couldn't help but feel his heart aching.
He pounded the tree trunk with his fists like crazy until his fingers bled, exposing the dense white bones. He used his internal force to break countless big trees, and then finally leaned under a broken tree, holding his guqin, crying bitterly.
"Qiu Yan... Qiu Yan... I won't change you anymore, let you be yourself. When picking chestnuts, I won't point fingers at you anymore and say you don't look like a girl. I won't hit you anymore. Can you go back?"
By my side..."
Nighthawk led the Royal Guards to secretly monitor Tong Han to ensure that he would not do any extreme harm to others. But it seemed that Tong Han was no longer in the mood to hurt others, and instead took care of himself.
Qiuyan helped Cangmiao blow her eyes for a while, "Are your eyes better? Can the sand be removed?"
Cangmiao saw from the corner of her eye that Tong Han was no longer around at the door, so she smiled and said, "Except."
Cangmiao was in a good mood, and smiled warmly and said: "I just feel a little uncomfortable on my lips. I want my sister to check if there is any anger."
Qiu Yan lowered her head again. His lips were very pink and delicate, and she said, "No anger."
"Maybe you are far away, sister, come closer and take a look."
Qiu Yan lowered her cheeks again and said, "No. Everything is fine. I'm not angry."
Cangmiao stared at her seductive lips and leaned forward...
