Tang Yu's heart sank when she heard this voice, she pushed open the door and entered, and saw He Lin lying on the bed, with one arm over his head, blocking his vision, and the other hand hanging down beside the bed, in a dejected state.
"Didn't I tell you not to come in!" He Lin put down his hands and stared at Tang Yu with red eyes, not knowing whether he had drunk too much or cried.
Tang Yu pretended not to see, and smiled gently: "I'll bring the master to understand the wine soup, drink a bowl first, so as not to feel uncomfortable."
He Lin sneered: "What if it's uncomfortable? Who in this family cares about whether I'm uncomfortable? They only care about how the eldest is outside, and only cares about whether the third child will be able to go to high school next spring?"
Tang Yu calmly said: "I care. You are my husband, I naturally care about you, don't ruin your body for gossip, how many people in this world are late bloomers, and there are still people who can become officials at the age of forty, now you It's only thirty-four, and there's still a lot of time to come. Come and drink this bowl of hangover soup."
After she said that, she handed the bowl to He Lin, who knew that He Lin suddenly raised his hand, and with a clang, he knocked the soup bowl over, and the hot soup splashed on Tang Yu's hands and dress, she couldn't help but scream. came out.
He Lin was stunned for a moment, a look of confusion flashed across his face. In fact, he didn't do it on purpose, he just raised his hand just now.
But he couldn't help himself to apologize, instead he said in a vicious voice: "Who asked you to send it over, I said I don't drink it anymore!"
Tang Yu finally blushed, she looked straight at He Lin, and was speechless for a while.
He Lin felt uncomfortable when she saw her: "Why, they look down on me, and even you look down on me?"
Tang Yu sighed: "Master, you were not like this before, why are you like this now?"
He Lin sneered: "I knew that you despised me from the bottom of your heart and thought that I didn't give you any respect, right? You don't have to call me master in the future, and I don't have any fame. This title makes people laugh. !"
Strictly speaking, it is true that only after being admitted to Juren can you be called Master Juren by others, but these days, big families usually call male masters this way.
Tang Yu: "No one looks down on you, why should you take other people's gossip to heart?"
He Lin sat up abruptly: "How can I not take it to heart! Twenty years ago in the He family, the most beautiful person was me! At that time, they all said that I would be the first jinshi in the He family's generation to pass the examination. Yes, the result is that now 20 years have passed, and I can't even pass the exam. This is not a joke! I know that you are married to me and feel wronged. If that's the case, then you... Who! Get in! "
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door outside, and He Lin couldn't help shouting angrily.
After a while, the door was gently pushed open a crack, and the little maid who was waiting beside Tang Yu came in timidly and said to the two, "Second grandma, a young son came outside and said it was your younger brother."
Tang Yu wiped away her tears and said with joy, "It must be him, count the days, he should be here today, let's go, let's go out and greet him!"
"Hold on," He Lin got up from the bed, "I'll go too."
He is a very face-saving person. Where can there be a reason why the brother-in-law is still lying in bed and pretending to be drunk
Tang Yu said: "Master is not feeling well, just rest first, Runqing won't mind this."
He Lin sneered: "Could it be that you are afraid that my talented brother-in-law will embarrass your big official brother?"
His self-esteem is so high that he can always misinterpret the good intentions of others.
Tang Yu was delighted to see her long-lost relatives soon, and didn't want to argue with him too much, so she asked the maid to quickly serve the master to change clothes, while she asked someone to go out to say hello first, and waited for He Lin to sort out her clothes before the couple left. Go to the door.
In fact, before Tang Yu got the report, Tang Fan almost encountered a closed door in front of the He's house.
It's just that he didn't come here by chance, just in time for the guests of the He family's banquet today. Many people couldn't get the invitations, so they wanted to fish in in troubled waters. When he claimed to be the younger brother of the second grandmother of the He family, he subconsciously felt that he also wanted to go in and cheat food and drink.
But thanks to Tang Fan being born with a good skin and carrying servants by his side, he didn't seem to be deceived. Sent a message.
Yan Li looked at the He family where people came in and out, and whispered to Tang Fan, "Young master, in fact, this He family is not a big family, and it's still a show!"
Tang Fan laughed: "You're from the capital, so naturally you don't think so, any honorable mansion at the foot of the emperor in the capital is more imposing than this, but the problem is this is Xianghe County, and the little Buddha in the temple is also small, so it's not bad! "
The two were talking, and a man and a woman walked out from inside.
Among them, the young woman burst into tears when she saw Tang Fan. Although Tang Fan didn't lose his temper, he was also emotional.
"elder sister!"
"Mao Mao!"
The ecstasy of reunion after a long absence suddenly turned into laughter, and Tang Fan said depressedly, "Sister, can you stop calling me this nickname?"
When Tang Fan was born, Ge Yin had thick hair and a cute elf. The Tang family loved Tang Fan very much, especially Tang Yu, sister, who regarded Tang Fan as the most beloved toy. Also gave him such a nickname.
Folks say that children have a cheap name to support them. Their parents not only did not object to this nondescript nickname, but they really called it. Now that Tang parents have passed away early, those who know this nickname are naturally the only ones left. Yu.
"What a nice name, why don't you let it be called!" Tang Yu touched his hair and squeezed his hand, eyes full of love and excitement. "You are thin and tall."
Tang Fan smiled and let her go up and down: "It's only because you're thin that you look tall."
There were many people in front of the Hejia gate today, and the two brothers and sisters recognized their relatives here, which soon attracted a lot of attention.
Seeing this, He Lin coughed lightly, "Let's go in and talk."
Only then did Tang Fan notice that He Lin was still standing beside him, and cupped his hands, "Brother-in-law, are you okay?"
He Lin smiled and nodded: "Everything is fine. Your sister has been thinking of you for a long time. Since you are here, stay longer."
Tang Fan smiled and said, "That's what I mean, brother-in-law doesn't mind me bothering you."
Just as they were talking, the rest of the He family wanted to come and heard the news of Tang Fan's arrival, so they sent someone out to greet him.
Before He Ying went to office, he was from the third rank, and his wife Xu Shi also had the appointment of the third rank. Naturally, the two did not have to come out to greet them in person. It was the third child of the He family, the protagonist of today's banquet, who just fell in love with He Xuan.
He Xuan is obviously more personable than his second brother, at least with the look of surprise on his face, regardless of whether he is acting or not, he is more enthusiastic than He Lin.
"No wonder I said why the magpies are chirping on the branches today. It turns out that Brother Runqing is coming, and there are some who are welcome, some are welcome!"
According to the official title, He Xuan had to salute Tang Fan and call him Master Tang, but as a relative, doing so seemed to be a bit of a nuisance.
After his sister married into the He family, Tang Fan also visited once, and he was familiar with the He family.
He Xuan greeted Tang Fan and the others: "Come on, let's go first, my parents are so happy to hear that you are here!"
Tang Fan said with a smile: "Long time no see, I'll go and say hello to the uncle and aunt of the He family first, but why is it so lively here today, what's the big happy event?"
He Xuan was embarrassed to answer as the party concerned, and He Lin said next to him: "It's really a big happy event, my second brother has won the honor."
Tang Fan: "This is really a great event, congratulations, brother Mingcheng will give me a glass of water and wine!"
When he said this, he glanced at He Lin without a trace.
Sure enough, seeing his brother-in-law's face pale, obviously not happy for his younger brother, Tang Fan couldn't help sighing, thinking that this brother-in-law's road to the imperial examination was indeed bumpy, and it would be fine if his aptitude was mediocre. The honor of the elders, the name of the child prodigy spread throughout the county, and it is precisely because of this that the feeling of falling from a height is more and more unbearable.
It is the most unpleasant thing to get and lose.
He Xuan smiled and said, "How dare you say a reward, you are so busy that you rarely have time to visit relatives, and the He family is so prosperous!"
Tang Fan also laughed: "This sentence will break me, not to mention that Uncle He is an official of the third rank, and the elder brother of the He family is now the prefect of the fourth rank. How can I say that he is my senior, how can I be presumptuous?"
He Xuan smiled: "That's not the same. My father and my elder brother are both local officials. You are a Beijing official, and you are from Hanlin. This alone makes you one step ahead of them!"
He also seemed to know that it was a bit disrespectful to say this, so he approached Tang Fan and lowered his voice, and only the two of them heard it.
Tang Fan shook his head and laughed.
Although Xianghe County is not far from the capital, Tang Fan's dismissal has not been long after all, so it is impossible to spread here so quickly, I'm afraid they still think that Tang Fan is in the office of the Ministry of Punishment.
The nine sons born to the dragon are different from each other. The three brothers of the He family have naturally different temperaments.
Let's just say that the youngest He Xuan is much loved by his parents, and his temperament is much more lively than He Lin's. As far as getting along is concerned, others will definitely be happy to associate with someone who is always laughing, rather than wanting to be with someone who is always angry. Shen Shen, people with a straight face get along with each other.
Tang Fan is no exception.
But He Lin is his brother-in-law, so he couldn't patronize and talk to He Xuan, so he ignored He Lin and said with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, today is your big day, we are not outsiders, you don't have to be busy with me. , it's better to be casual, there's still brother-in-law here anyway."
He Lin's expression softened slightly, just as he was about to speak, he heard He Xuan say: "That's not possible, your status is higher than our county magistrate, you must be the chief, come, come with me first to see my father Say it again!"
Tang Fan glanced at He Lin, and sure enough, the latter's face darkened again.
He Xuan directly pulled him in, but Tang Fan didn't object, so he followed him to the inner hall.
When He Ying saw him, she was really happy, got up to greet him, and introduced others: "This is Tang Fan, Tang Runqing, the fourth in the imperial examination of Yiwei Ke in the eleventh year of Chenghua, he was admitted to the Hanlin Academy as a Shuji Shi, and now he is an official in the Ministry of Punishment. ."
As soon as this resume is put out, the grades are immediately different.
Everyone present, including the magistrate of Xianghe County, suddenly changed their eyes on him.
These days, people in Shilin get to know each other. First, they report their names to each other, and then put their resumes out. Shuji is naturally the most noble. If not, it means which year they were Jinshi. , that's even better, call each other elder brothers, otherwise they will talk about friendship according to the year of the jinshi, call seniors backward and so on.
Looking at Xianghe County, apart from He Ying, the old man of the He family, and He Yi, who is already an official outside, there is really no one who can match Tang Fan's identity. Even the magistrate of Weng is only a seventh rank.
Everyone got up one after another and saluted Tang Fan, calling him your lord.
Weng County magistrate and Tang Fan also greeted each other, but they did not discuss the official position, but the Shilin generation, that is, the year of the jinshi.
Because he was a Jinshi in Chenghua for eight years, he was one grade earlier than Tang Fan, so Tang Fan met Weng County magistrate and even called him senior. Weng magistrate didn't dare to take it because his grade was lower than Tang Fan's.
The rules in officialdom these days are so troublesome.
After Tang Fan returned the salute, he greeted He Ying as a junior.
He Ying Nianxu accepted his gift and said with a smile, "I heard from my second son that you are coming over a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to happen today, it's a coincidence!"
Tang Fan smiled and said, "My little nephew also thinks it's a coincidence that Mingcheng's brother is the winner. This is a big happy event, and I haven't congratulated my uncle yet."
He Ying shook his head: "If he has a share of growth from you and his eldest brother, I will be satisfied, but today it is not as enthusiastic as the folks, so I set up a few tables of wine and made you laugh. Since you are here, Just stay longer, your sister and brother-in-law miss you very much."
Tang Fan said, "That's what I mean, so I'll harass Uncle."
He Ying was also a little strange. He wanted to ask him how he had the opportunity to take a leave of absence and come back to visit relatives because he had so many things to do, but he felt that it was not easy to ask too much on this occasion, so he introduced everyone at the table for him one by one. Toast, so lively.
He Lin didn't like this kind of occasion, so he avoided it. He didn't expect that because Tang Fan came to the door, he would have to come back and stay here again. Hundreds of needles are still painful.
Tang Yu was a female family member, so it was inconvenient to follow up. As early as when He Xuan brought Tang Fan over, she first went back to the other courtyard to prepare meals, and asked the servants to place a few entourages brought by Tang Fan, etc. At this time He was not present, so no one paid careful attention to He Lin's expression.
After drinking a few glasses of water and wine, He Ying understood that Tang Fan was exhausted physically and mentally, and did not force him to have a drink at the banquet. After asking his opinion, He Lin asked Tang Fan to take a rest first.
It was not Tang Fan who finally breathed a sigh of relief, but He Lin, who was sitting on pins and needles beside him.
The two left the hall and walked towards the side room.
Tang Fan said to He Lin: "Brother-in-law is not feeling well, I'll be led to the wing later, you don't have to accompany me, just go and rest, it's enough to have sister to talk with me."
He Linqiang smiled and said: "It's okay, you finally come here. As a brother-in-law, I naturally have to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."
Tang Fan didn't speak anymore. He was indeed a little tired, but He Lin was a boring gourd. As a result, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they didn't speak any more along the way.
The He family has a big business, and it is not a problem to place one or two relatives. However, Tang Fan's identity is different, and his treatment is naturally different from that of ordinary relatives.
With the permission of Mr. He, Tang Yu prepared a side courtyard full of bamboo for Tang Fan. This was originally the house next door to the He family, but was later bought by the He family and opened up together to become a wing room for entertaining distinguished guests.
It didn't look like much from the outside, but after Tang Fan moved in, he realized that there was something special inside. Not only did the bamboo leaves flutter, which was in line with the artistic conception of the literati, there was also an elegant and exquisite small garden, just outside his bedroom, and he opened the window every morning. At first glance, the sparkling waves and the rockery are no worse than Jiangnan Gardens.
The siblings hadn't seen each other for a few years, so naturally they had a lot to say, but Tang Yu still brought her son over first to say goodbye to her little uncle.
He Cheng is eight years old this year. He should be at the age when cats dislike dogs, but he is a very quiet child. He salutes Tang Fan in a straight-forward manner. from.
However, someone with a keen eye like Tang Fan could tell at a glance that his father, He Lin, was being held back by himself, while his small external judge was being held back.
He Cheng had just finished his salute when Tang Fan grabbed him and rubbed his baby's fat face with both hands.
A good laugh came from above his head: "This is my little nephew, I hugged you when you just turned one year old, do you remember?"
He Cheng didn't remember, he was stunned by this little uncle who was so frivolous when he first met, his face was pinched and deformed and he didn't notice, he just stared blankly at the other party.
Tang Yu was annoyed, with a tone of indifference: "Okay, people who are all uncles still have the face to bully my little nephew!"
Tang Fan laughed, hugged He Cheng and didn't let it go, and then lowered his head and kissed him as if to tease him: "I like him, others want me to kiss, but I haven't kissed yet, do you think so, Qilang ?"
He Cheng ranked seventh in the He family's generation, and his nickname was Qilang.
It's just that He Cheng has been kissed and hugged like this by male elders before. Even in the past two years, his mother felt that he had grown up, but he had never treated him like this, and his face was flushed right now, and he didn't know if it was because he was shy or he was shy. Bullied too dare to speak out.
Seeing her son's introverted and shy appearance, Tang Yu felt uncomfortable and apologetic, sighed secretly, and stroked his hair: "Mother and uncle have something to say, you go and see the gift that uncle brought you first. stop."
He Cheng nodded sensible, jumped off Tang Fan's lap, and bowed to his mother and Tang Fan first: "Then mother, uncle, the child will go down first."
As soon as He Cheng left, the maid quietly closed the door, and the two siblings were finally left in the house.
Tang Fan asked, "Sister, how could Qilang be so lackluster when he has a child? He is only eight years old. Could it be that he has too much homework?"
Tang Yu didn't want to worry about his younger brother in previous correspondence, and always reported good news instead of bad news. Tang Fan naturally didn't know how her sister's life was at her husband's house, but today he was in a hurry. Some worried.
Tang Yu smiled reluctantly: "It should be because of too much homework in ethnic studies."
As soon as Tang Fan saw her expression, he didn't know what else was going on: "Sister, what's going on? If you don't want to tell the truth, I'll just ask myself, it's not like I can't find anything."
Tang Yu smiled bitterly: "Actually, it's nothing. You know that your brother-in-law has repeatedly failed the exam, and even his younger brother has passed the exam now. He feels uncomfortable, and it is inevitable that he will be strict with his children."
She didn't want to continue this topic, so she asked: "Can you stay longer when you come here this time? You see that Qilang doesn't know your uncle very well, you need to get closer to him, and, You are twenty-six now, and you should have gotten married a few years earlier, but your parents died early, and I am incompetent as a sister..."
Talking, Tang Yu couldn't help feeling sad.
Tang Fan hurriedly said: "You have asked so many questions in one go, which one should I answer? My good sister, I can be on my own now, you don't need to take all the responsibilities on yourself, as long as you live well Well, whether it's me or the parents under Jiuquan, they will all feel comforted."
Tang Yu glared at him: "If you hadn't been dragging on and refused to get married, why would I have been worried? Did you see any girl in the capital, or did anyone propose marriage to you? With a character like yours, there should be something wrong with it. The ministers in the young court want you to be their son-in-law? If so, just tell me, my sister will decide for you."
In order to avoid being forced to marry, Tang Fan quickly said: "Sister, to tell you the truth, I have no official position now."
"Ah?!" Sister Tang was stunned. "How is this going!"
Tang Fan said: "It's easy to say, it's just that I offended people who shouldn't be offended in officialdom."
Tang Yu did not accept this perfunctory answer, and hurriedly asked carefully.
She came from a scholarly family and married into an official family. Naturally, she would not be an ignorant woman, forcing Tang Fan to tell her the cause and effect again.
After listening to Tang Yu, he was speechless for a long time, and after a long time he said quietly: "So, you even offended the first assistant?"
Tang Fan smiled and said, "You can say that."
Tang Yu: "Then even His Majesty doesn't like you?"
Tang Fan: "Yes."
Tang Yu made a gesture to beat him, but was reluctant to bear it, so he could only stare at him bitterly: "You dare to laugh, it's your parents who dote on you! Even a little girl like me has heard that Wan Shou auxiliary clings to today's noble concubine, her status It's very firm, and everyone is his cronies. If you offend such a person, how can you live in the future?"
Tang Fan grinned, in front of the elder sister who had watched him grow up since childhood, there is no such thing as gentleness and elegance.
"Could it be that only parents do favor, sister, do you favor less?"
Seeing that the younger brother was still coquettish in front of him like before, Tang Yu's eyes were full of tenderness, and even the last bit of anger was gone.
Seeing that she was relieved, Tang Fan smiled and said, "It's not without merit that you can't be an official, at least I can live here longer now, I'm just afraid that the people of the He family will treat you slightly because of this, so I didn't say it just now in front of so many people."
Tang Yu's heart warmed: "You don't have to worry about this. Since you're here, just stay well. Anyway, I'm the serious second grandmother of the He family, and I can't be bullied by others if they want to."
Tang Fan said: "Sister, you don't need to be patient, I'm here not only to visit you, but also to support you, I know there must be some people who feel that there is no one in our Tang family, that you have no support from your mother's family, and despise you. , but as long as I am here, the Tang family will always be your mother's family. Although I no longer have an official position, no one can slap their noses on their faces. If you have something wrong, don't hide it from me. Come on, I'll help you out."
Tang Yu couldn't help but be moved when she heard these words, but she didn't take Tang Fan's words seriously.
After all, in her opinion, even if Tang Fan was not dismissed from office, he was only a fifth-ranking man. It's okay to fool ordinary people with such an identity. A family like the He family has a clear understanding of affairs in the officialdom. Tang Fan's identity Don't say that it can't scare them, if you want to stand out with this, it will only laugh at you.
What's more, Tang Fan didn't even have to say anything about a fifth-rank official. He said that he wanted to help her out, but in the end, he was afraid that he would offend the He family and put himself in.
She didn't want Tang Fan to do this. Tang Yuning felt wronged because she felt that her younger brother's future was more important than her own happiness.
Thinking of this, Tang Yu smiled: "Don't think too much, your brother-in-law and the He family treat me very well."
And Tang Fan also felt that his sister's happiness trumped everything else, so when he saw that Tang Yu avoided the key points, he took it lightly, and when they met today, the sister and his wife's expressions showed a strange expression, and he knew that there must be something else inside.
But since Tang Yu didn't want to say more, Tang Fan didn't ask any more, thinking about inquiring in private.
At the end of the banquet, the crowd dispersed, and Mr. He sent someone to invite He Lin and his wife and Tang Fan over.
In addition to them, Mrs. He, Mrs. He, Mr. and Mrs. He Xuan, the third child of the He family, and Mr. He's two brothers are all there. In addition, there are the third generation of the He family, including He Cheng, He Qin and other grandchildren, all gathered together. , very lively.
This is also for Mr. He to express his welcome to Tang Fan. Otherwise, if a relative of his daughter-in-law's family comes to visit relatives, there is absolutely no need to work for the whole family to come out to greet him. For example, Mrs. He's wife, Wei Shi, was born in a scholar's family. Even if she did a good business and became a giant in Xianghe County and even Shuntian Prefecture, she would still be different from the He family in terms of identity. Courteous.
Everyone chatted, and Mr. He remembered the question that was inconvenient to ask at the table before.
"I've been an official for several years, and I don't know what the situation in the capital is now. My nephew is in the penal department, so I think it's quite a blessing."
This is a tactful saying, but I actually want to ask, official leave is not so easy to ask, how can you take a long vacation for no reason, is there something wrong with the officialdom in the capital
Mr. He had a lot of expectations, and he would never have expected Tang Fan to be out of office now.
Tang Fan smiled slightly, but didn't hide it: "I'm ashamed to say that, because my little nephew committed a crime in the errand, he has now been ordered to live idle and has no official position."
ah? ? !
As soon as these words came out, everyone was as dumb as Tang Yu's reaction before.
It was Mr. He who was well-informed and had the quickest response. He showed a concerned look and asked, "What's going on? Could it be that I offended someone? You might as well say that, although the old man was drinking tea, he used to be in the officialdom. I still have a few old friends, and if it's not a big deal, maybe I can help you turn things around."
Tang Fan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you uncle for your trouble, but this appointment and dismissal was approved by His Majesty through the cabinet. I'm afraid no one can help me right now."
When everyone heard it, they stayed for a while.
Well, even the emperor is offended, this is such a big thing, if you come over so hastily, will it affect our He family
Tang Fan observed the words and expressions, and naturally knew what they were thinking, so he said: "Uncle and elders don't need to worry, now this matter has come to an end, no one will bring it up again, and the little nephew is just idle by the crown, not to reduce his position for the people. , will not implicate the He family. My sister and I have been separated for several years, and my thoughts are abnormal, so I just came to visit. If there is any trouble, please forgive me. "
Mr. He chuckled: "It's too outlandish to say this, your father and I are close friends, even if your sister is not the daughter-in-law of my He family, since you are here, you can consider this place to be your own, and you can stay as long as you want. For how long, there is no need to worry."
Tang Fan solemnly thanked him.
This incident suddenly appeared, and everyone lost the thought of gossiping. It was Mr. He who asked about the current situation. When he learned that Tang Fan was staying in someone else's house in the capital, he couldn't help but sighed and wanted to give Tang Fan Tang Fan naturally refused to buy a house with a sum of money.
Seeing that he really didn't want it, Mr. He didn't force him any more, and let him go to have a good rest first, saying that it would be a long time to come, and if there was anything, it would not be too late to talk about it later.
After Tang Fan and He Lin and his wife left, Mr. He's face sank, and he reprimanded He Xuan and his wife, "You guys were too revealing! When I heard that he was staying idle, even his expression changed!"
He Xuan said embarrassingly: "I heard that he offended the emperor, I am worried that he will implicate our He family. You see that he will not come sooner or later. If he chooses to come at this time, maybe he has offended some big man in the capital. Treat us here as a refuge!"
He Xuan's two uncles, the elder brothers of the old man, also helped back and said, "Yes, no wonder Mingcheng, even we are a little bit drumming when we hear it!"
Mr. He sighed: "No matter what people think, since we have already come, we can't drive them out. Didn't you notice the three followers who followed him?"
He Xuan: "What happened to the servant?"
Mr. He: "I see that the two of them are shrewd and restrained, and their behavior is different from ordinary people. I'm afraid they are first-class masters."
He Xuan wondered: "He is a man who has lost his official position, and even has to borrow his house to live in someone else's house. How can he have a master with him?"
Mr. He said slowly: "Those two are not ordinary masters, but Jin Yiwei."
"what!!!"
The He family said yes again.
They were so amazed today that they were almost numb.
Jinyiwei, who is the person, doesn't need the science of Mr. He at all. As long as they think about their glorious history, the He family can't help but feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Even Mr. He's two brothers showed fear: "Even if Tang Fan hasn't lost his job, he's not qualified to be protected by Jin Yiwei? Could it be that he offended some very important people this time, these people are called protection , actually came to spy on him?"
Mr. He sighed: "I hope not."
He Xuan said nervously: "Father, what should we do? This is bringing the wolf into the room, why don't we find an excuse to invite him out?"
Mr. He: "Nonsense! It's all coming, there's no reason to drive people out! Before the matter is clear, let's take a look at it for a while. It's good to know, don't make a fuss, and don't startle the snake!"
Even though he said that, not to mention the men, the female relatives present were already panicking because of these words.
Mrs Xu sighed and complained to him: "I said back then that I shouldn't marry the second daughter of this house, but you said that you should keep the promise. She married into the He family, and the second child went wrong. I don't know if she was kidnapped by her..."
The old man He was impatient: "It's been so many years, what's the use of you talking about it now! Well, one or two are useless, it's not a problem, it's just like a big disaster is coming, let's go down. !"
If Tang Fan heard these words, he knew that Yan Li and the others were made up by the He family, and he didn't know what his expression would be.
