Tong Jia anecdote

<eight five>

Two days later, Tong Jiu was still busy with the icemakers on the lake in the back garden, and many ice lanterns had begun to take shape.

"Jiu Ye, someone from the uncle's mansion said that you should hurry up and let the rabbit go, the eagle has already been thrown out." The boy at the door reported in a daze.

"Go to the front cabinet and call Shen Jianping." Tong Jiu thought for a while, continued to chisel the ice with her hands, and urged the servant.

Soon, Shen Jianping hurried over from the front, found Han Luqi amidst the jingling sounds on the lake, and beckoned, "Jiu Ye, are you looking for me?" He said, lifting his hem, stepping on the ice chips on the lake , carefully moved towards Tong Jiu.

Tong Jiu lifted up the leather hat on his head, watched Shen Jianping approaching, and stretched out his hand to push him.

"Hey——" Shen Jianping didn't expect Tong Jiu to make trouble with him, his feet were unsteady, he staggered, and sat on the ice unexpectedly.

"Hahaha——." Tong Jiu put down the hammer and chisel in his hand with a smirk, sat on the ice, and said to Shen Jianping, "You can put the money you need to live in."

"Now?" Shen Jianping asked, rubbing his thrown buttocks.Seeing Tong Jiu nodding, he got up from the ground and patted the robe on his body.

Tong Jiu raised his arm again, Shen Jianping hurriedly dodged back, and said vigilantly, "Master Jiu, stop making trouble, I'm going to get down to business." Then he went back to Hui Zhengsheng.

The next morning, when Zhang Yiquan arrived at the gate of the mansion, he met Tong Jiu walking away, and cupped hands with Tong Jiu.

"Mr. Zhang, let's go to the theater." Tong Jiu pulled Zhang Yiquan to go outside.

"But this class hasn't been taught yet." Zhang Yiquan was a little confused, so he said, "It's not a year or a festival, what kind of drama can you watch?"

"Let's go, let's go, we'll know when we go." Tong Jiu didn't ride a horse today because he brought Zhang Yiquan with him.Let the stables set up a cart, pushed Zhang Yiquan into the cart, followed by himself, and said, "Today, we must live in hot pot."

"Is it eating pot or watching a play?" Zhang Yiquan was a little confused by her rush this morning, and asked puzzled.

When they arrived at Shibiju, the two still sat in the same seats as last time, and the young man brought a copper hot pot and served the wine and dishes.

Zhang Yiquan looked at Tong Jiu, who was sitting opposite at the moment in brocade clothes, and looked at the beef and mutton on the table. He raised his glass first and said, "Come on, it's only a few days away, but it makes me feel like a lifetime away. Thanks to the luck." Having met someone who knows you like you, let's drink this glass of wine."

Tong Jiu raised his glass with a smile, and said, "It's still the same sentence as the sir, it's fate to be able to sit together."

The two of them ate two plates of meat in a leisurely manner, when they heard a burst of chatter and laughter outside, Tong Jiu held the wine glass and glanced back, and sure enough, it was Yongxi who brought people in from outside like last time.This time, he was familiar with the road and went directly upstairs.

Tong Jiu drank the wine in the glass, ate two salt-baked peanuts, looked up at the restaurant, and said, "Sir, you said that you must live in this area, how about opening a grain shop?"

Zhang Yiquan put down his chopsticks, looked around, and said, "Although I don't know Fengshui, I think that in a location like Shibiju, you can do anything."

"Officer, are you on business or for dinner?" While speaking, the waiter outside the door suddenly yelled in panic.

"Go away." Following a few impatient curses, a group of officers came in aggressively and went straight upstairs.Soon, there was a quarrel upstairs, mixed with the sound of throwing cups and bowls.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Zhang Yiquan heard something wrong upstairs, and looked in the direction of the stairs curiously.

"I don't know about that." The waiter shook his hands anxiously, stood at the top of the stairs and looked up, but didn't dare to go up.

"You dare to arrest me, but you turned against you!" With the sound of messy footsteps, Yongxi struggled and was dragged down from upstairs with a chain by the officials, together with several people behind, and the shopkeeper of Shibiju.

The second shopkeeper ran out from behind in a hurry, followed him out, watched the shopkeeper being taken away, came back and cupped his hands to the customers in the store, and said, "I am surprised by you, everyone has seen this, the shopkeeper I was taken away. We will not do business today, and the meal fee will be free, just to scare the masters."

"Tsk, I don't want to have a meal in Ansheng." Tong Jiu got up, tugged at Zhang Yiquan who was still looking outside, and said, "Well, people don't do our business anymore, let's go."

Zhang Yiquan followed Tong Jiu into the carriage, lifted the curtains and looked out, then turned around and asked Tong Jiu, "Could this be the show you were talking about?"

Tong Jiu looked at Zhang Yiquan who was kept in the dark, sneered and pretended to be mysterious and said, "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it."

The next day is Hongxiao's birthday.

The mansion invited the theater troupe to sing, and Ji Lan invited Shu Guangxiu, Mu Yun and the sisters from Fucha's family to accompany Hongxiao to the lake to enjoy ice sculptures and ice lanterns.

At noon, a banquet was set up in the flower hall by the lake nearby, and all the maids and women in the house were allowed to come to eat the banquet, play cards and watch the theater. It was very lively inside and out.

Tong Jiu took two children, and Jing Fu, Dagula and others set up another table in the warm pavilion next to the flower hall.

"How are you doing recently?" Ji Lan asked, looking at Mu Yun who was not speaking much.Since the last farewell, I haven't seen each other for some time.

"It's all good." Mu Yun slightly nodded politely towards Ji Lan.

"It's the first time you've lived so long and you've got such a big fight on your birthday. Ma'am, is this trying to break the slave's life?" Hong Xiao drank a few cups of wine and was in high spirits. She jokingly made a thank you note to Ji Lan. The appearance made everyone at the table laugh.

"You can't ask me about it, it's all your master's idea." Ji Lan pretended to be unhappy, and said with a stern face, "If you follow me today, wouldn't you be a girl? How can there be any reason to have a birthday? Send a bowl of noodles Just go."

"What did the brother-in-law say?" Everyone present knew that Ji Lan was joking, and waiting for her to continue, only Miss Qi from Fucha's family was naive, and couldn't bear to ask curiously.

"She said, 'I thought so too, but she has a Lianjiazi Jingfu as the backstage. I neglected Sister Hong and turned her face, I can't beat her.' Ji Lan held back a smile and said seriously. Said to Hong Xiao, "She also said that when Sister Hong goes out one day, I will definitely hire eight big sedan chairs to take her out to be at ease."

The maids inside and out burst into laughter after hearing this.

"No one in this family knows that Master Jiu listens to you." Hong Xiao glared at Ji Lan, and said, "It's fine to make fun of me on weekdays, but I don't agree with this one now. You are the master, take me in public Just for fun, you should be punished!"

As he said that, he poured a large cup of wine, put it in front of Ji Lan, and said, "It's fine to enter this cup, if there is any excuse, I will definitely ask Master Jiu to come over, let's have a good talk."

"Cheng Chengcheng, I'll just drink it." Ji Lan picked up the wine glass, and before drinking, she still teased Hong Xiao and said, "Who made our servant girl so smart?"

With the laughter of the crowd, Ji Lan drank the whole cup of wine, covered his mouth and said, "I can't drink any more, I'm still waiting to see the ice lantern at night."

"Ma'am, my aunt has come over to the mansion, and she said she wants to see you and Master Jiu." A maid came in and said, "At this moment, people have already arrived at the main hall."

Ji Lan was a little surprised when he heard that Fucha Tuya had come.

It's Hongxiao's birthday today, she won't come even if she is invited, she simply didn't send her a post, but why did she come?After thinking about it, he set off to the main room in front.

As soon as he entered, he saw Fucha Tuya sitting there with a dark face, not taking off his cloak, and not drinking tea.Ji Lan didn't know why and asked Fu Chagui beside her, "What's the matter?"

"Where's Han Luqi?" Fucha Tuya patted the table and said, "Let him come out!"

"Ah? Did she offend you?" Ji Lan was even more puzzled, so she ordered the servant girl, "Go and call Master Jiu." While sitting down, she looked at her sister with great interest, and said, "You are so aggressive." sex, it hurts the liver."

"I just want to ask him and transfer his brother to Beijing with me, just to arrest my son, right?" Fucha Tuya gasped for breath.

"Yo, Yongxi was arrested?" Ji Lan asked, "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday, their boss Han did a good job!" Fucha Tuya frowned.

Ji Lan thought for a while and said, "Then it's probably because the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple. A few days ago, he accepted a post from your mansion. How could he go after Yongxi knowing that it was Yongxi? What did Yongxi do? ?”

"I don't know what the law is. I just came here today." Fucha Tuya was already upset, and said impatiently when Ji Lan asked him questions one after another.

"Big sister is here!" Tong Jiu came in from the outside with a smile, clasped her hands together, and said, "Aji, look at you, Hong Xiao is just a maid in our house, how can you alarm the big sister? Well, since everyone Here you go, take a seat at the back."

"Han Luqi! Let your elder brother release Yongxi immediately, otherwise don't blame me for not recognizing your Han family." Fucha Tuya said angrily.

Seeing Tong Jiu's eyes staring in confusion, Ji Lan pulled her and said, "Han Luming caught Yongxi."

"Really?" Tong Jiu opened her mouth in surprise, and quickly apologized to Fucha Tuya with a smile, "Don't be angry, big sister. My big brother is new here. He must not know Yongxi. Yongxigui is Lord Belle, and I have never seen him before." , How could he know it?"

"Go and call him now, and I'll ask him face to face!" Fucha Tuya said, "Which rule did Yongxi commit?"

Hearing what she said, Tong Jiu smiled and said, "Yongxi was arrested, and the capital must have no idea how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Yiwang Mansion. Those people all know our relationship. At this time, we will not avoid suspicion." , but also to force it up. Aren't you afraid that someone with ulterior motives will join you in politics?"

Seeing Fucha Tuya's complexion changed, Tong Jiu said again, "This is a trivial matter. My elder brother knows that he is Yongxi, and he will definitely try his best to let him out. If you make such a publicity again, it will make the city full There will be a lot of uproar. At that time, my elder brother just wants to calm things down, and I'm afraid it won't work."

Fucha Tuya looked at Ji Lan, Ji Lan nodded, agreed with what Tong Jiu said just now, and said, "So you go back first, it shouldn't be a big deal. Isn't this what happened yesterday? Wait a minute. Prince Yi won't just ignore it if he really wants to do something."

After sending Fucha Tuya away, Tong Jiu squinted her eyes and said with a sneer, "A loving mother is a failure."

Ji Lan sighed and said, "I don't blame her at all. The parents of the children sent in the past are still there, so it's so good. If you don't care too much, you won't be close to you, and if you don't care too much, then it's all over."
