This was so domineering that everyone couldn't speak for a moment and stared at Suizhou.

This is not Tang Fan's home court, and he did not have the position to speak at the beginning, but this did not prevent him from analyzing people's hearts with the habit of looking at the case. With a glance, you can see many clues from everyone's words and deeds.

For example, the parents of Suizhou are all honest people, otherwise when the sister-in-law Jiao of Suizhou spoke, the mother of Suizhou should have shouted and stopped him;

For example, the elder brother of Suizhou was also a taciturn man who was silent, which was somewhat similar to Suizhou. However, Suizhou did not speak because there was no need to speak. He was not stingy when analyzing the case and needed to speak. The elder brother of Suizhou was more like a person who was too lazy to speak.

Tang Fan shook his head secretly when he saw it. He had heard from Suizhou that his brother Sui An wanted to take the imperial examination, but even if he was lucky enough to pass the examination in the future, it would be difficult for him to survive in the officialdom for a long time. Who would like a subordinate who could not make a sound in one sentence?

Compared to her husband, Jiao seems to be smart and too eager to stand out. Her elders are honest people and can't suppress her. I guess she does whatever she wants at home. No wonder Suizhou finally moved out.

After Suizhou said this, Tang Fan could no longer remain silent. He took a step forward and bowed to Mrs. Zhou: "I am Tang Fan, whose courtesy name is Runqing. It's good that the old lady calls me Runqing. I am appointed as the regent in Shuntian Prefecture and is a friend of Guangchuan. Today I will bring my sister Adong to celebrate my birthday. I wish the old lady a blessing as good as the East China Sea and a long life as the South Mountain."

A Dong also bowed obediently, saying "Old Mrs. Zhou's blessing", while presenting the congratulations.

Old Mrs. Zhou smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, okay! Since it is the best place for the Tong family, there is no need to pay attention to it. It is rare for my family to bring friends back, so I would like to celebrate my birthday. It shows that you must be a good child, and the little girl is also beautiful, good, good!"

Nowadays, gifts are popular to disassemble the gifts in front of the owner. Regardless of the high or low, as long as the meaning is good, the owner will be very happy.

Jiao took the gift box, reached out and took off the rope wrapped around the box, and opened the box.

But I saw that there was a longevity peach carved from jade inside. The jade color was gentle, clever and cute, and the size of a palm, which was suitable for holding it in your hands to play with it.

Mrs. Zhou also sent gifts to the palace on her birthday, but she had been thrifty all her life and didn't want to be extravagant, so she only called her daughter's family to come for dinner at the birthday party. When she saw this gift, she loved and was surprised and said: "It's good that people come, why bother buying such expensive gifts!"

Tang Fan smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. It's easy for the old lady to teach me that my salary is small. If I really want to buy it, I can't afford it. This longevity peach was passed down from my family. Now that the elders are no longer there, I took it out and borrowed flowers to offer it to Buddha. I hope the old lady will not be disgusted!"

Although he was humble, just looking at the quality of the jade, Suizhou knew that the jade peach was definitely valuable and quite old. The Tang family must have been nowhere to be able to collect such things in the past.

Being able to give such things also shows the gift giver's intention.

Old Mrs. Zhou was the sister of the empress dowager. In recent years, the Sui family also met many noble officials. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty had always had the custom of respecting the elderly. The old lady scolded officials in the street, and even cursed them in detours. Therefore, when Suizhou introduced that Tang Fan was an official in Shuntian Prefecture, the Sui family really didn't feel shocked. You should know that the father and brother of Suizhou also had the position of Jinyiwei.

However, as soon as the jade peach came out, Jiao also closed his mouth tactfully.

The old lady was still shook her head repeatedly: "Don't spend so much money in the future. It's good that people come. When I see you, I'll be happy from the bottom of my heart!"

Tang Fan smiled: "The old lady is wrong. When you live in your old age in the future, you will not only spend money, but also spend a lot. At that time, I will definitely find a bigger longevity peach for the old lady!"

Old Mrs. Zhou was amused and laughed: "Runqing's mouth is hundreds of times sweeter than Azhou and A'an. It's hard for you to get along with the dull and stupid man in Azhou. If he bullies you, you have to tell me that I'll make the decision for you!"

Tang Fan felt that this sounded like he was going to marry Suizhou, but he thought that the old lady was so old and sometimes she could speak without thinking, so she smiled and vaguely passed.

Although it was a family dinner, the dishes on the table were carefully cooked. Although the Sui family was not good at speaking, they also made the old lady feel like they were all confused. Suizhou's sister Sui Bi was a few years older than Adong. However, the two little girls were quite well together and soon they came together and whispered.

In comparison, Suizhou's parents and brothers were like accompanying each other, with few words, and they bury their heads from beginning to end. Jiao wanted to interrupt, but the old lady seemed to not like to talk to her, holding Tang Fan's hand and asking. When she heard Tang Fan say that his parents died early, his elder sister married far away, and had not yet got married, she sighed repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I am an official in the capital, and there is no one who is close to you. A person like you is afraid that the matchmaker will have already broken the threshold. What kind of woman do you like? Come and talk to me, and I will also help you find it!"

Tang Fan's scalp was numb when he heard this, so he quickly took Suizhou out as a shield: "Old lady, I remember that Guangchuan seemed to be a few years older than me, and he must be more urgent than me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a man next to him glance at him indifferently, obviously very dissatisfied with his approach of causing trouble.

"Runqing has a high vision, don't pull the red line for him." Sui Zhou spoke, and finally shifted the old lady's attention.

Old Mrs. Zhou was very dissatisfied with his statement: "Nonsense, don't you have to get married if you have a high vision? At worst, I will go to the Empress Dowager and ask the Empress Dowager to help find him. If you say that ordinary women look down on you, the princess and princess will be fine?"

Tang Fan was so amused and wanted to stop him, but he heard Jiao Shi jokingly and half-jokingly: "The old lady is so biased. You and Runqing have not known each other for less than half a day. I remember to help them protect the media. If you don't know, you think you have recognized a new grandson!"

Old Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "I am in love with this child Runqing. What's wrong with being a matchmaker for him? Could it be that you want it too? I'm happy to protect A'an as a princess, but then you have to stand aside?"

Jiao immediately stopped talking.

Tang Fan persuaded the old lady to give up her mind. After dinner, Adong was staying with Sui Bi for another half a day. He said goodbye to Sui Zhou and promised the old lady to come to see her frequently, so he was released.

After coming out, Lord Tang couldn't help but feel sweat: "Guangchuan, your old lady is really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I was not soft-hearted for a while, otherwise the old lady might have to go into the palace to find the queen mother to tell me a princess!"

Suizhou: "Isn't the princess good?"

It sounded like a joke, but his face was still cold and his tone was also cold.

However, Tang Fan had long been used to his dead face, and didn't care, just shook his head and laughed.

Is it good to marry a princess? The most noble woman in the world is the proud daughter of heaven, so it is naturally good.

But becoming a prince-consort's county horse means not being able to participate in politics. Even if an official is an official, he will resign and go home. However, this is only for civil officials and is not so strict with military officers. For example, Jing Yuan, the prince-consort who died in the Tumubao Incident, died for protecting the late emperor, was a military officer and even went to war with his escort.

But it is a miserable for civil officials. Marrying a daughter of the royal family means that there is no future in the future. Therefore, any man with some ambition will regard marrying a daughter of the royal family as a fear of his own. Although Tang Fan was not a fool of himself, he studied hard for more than ten years in order to expand his life's ambitions and do something for the people of the country.

After meals, they ate, walked in a car, and walked home slowly and leisurely.

Tang Fan smiled and teased him: "But the old lady said something well. You are not young anymore and it's time to get married. Don't wait until a few years later, no one will ask for it."

Sui Zhou glanced at him: "Do you really want me to get married?"

Before Tang Fan could answer, Sui Zhou said, "I become a kiss, you will move out."

Tang Fan nodded: "It makes sense, after all, we must avoid suspicion."

Suizhou: "You have to find a house by yourself."

Tang Fan: "Hey, it's really hard to find a house in Beijing."

Suizhou: "In a few years, A Dong grows up and gets married, and you have to cook yourself again."

Tang Fan: "It makes sense..." After thinking about it, it seemed wrong, and then said, "Then I can go and marry me."

Suizhou: "And she found out that you were writing a romantic storytelling book, and it was selling well?"

Tang Fan: "..."

Suizhou: "Or research with her and let her write together, which can subsidize the household income."

Tang Fan laughed and cried: "Not it?"

Suizhou: "With your current salary, you have to deal with the expenses of going out for dinner at any time. When A Dong gets married, you have to save her dowry. After you get married, you will have one more person to raise, and when you have a child, you will have a few more mouths."

The more Lord Tang listened, the greener his face became.

But Sui Baihu continued to analyze truthfully: "The parents' orders and matchmakers' words, you are likely to marry a woman like my sister-in-law. If your wife is not virtuous, the family will be unlucky and will cause trouble to your descendants."

"Stop talking..." Lord Tang was powerless, "It's so scary to marry a wife, I'd better not marry it for now."

Sui Baihu nodded, his face was serious, and he obviously felt quite the same.

When the two were about to get home, they saw Xue Bing standing at the door and paced back and forth, followed by several Jinyiwei.

One of them saw Sui Zhou and the others and quickly stepped forward and said something to Xue Bing. Xue Bing suddenly looked up, his eyes lit up, and he strode forward, obviously looking as if he was still waiting.

"Brother, you're finally back!" He said in a hurry without hiding his anxiety.

"What's the matter?" Suizhou said.

Xue Bing glanced at Tang Fan, but didn't mean to hide it from him. She just took a step forward and whispered to Suizhou: "What a big deal has happened!"

Sui Zhou frowned and said, "I'll go in and change my clothes and leave!"

As a special department, Xue Bing certainly would not deliberately exaggerate it. Tang Fan belongs to Shuntian Mansion and has nothing to do with their responsibilities. He is also too small to ask any information, so he didn't ask too much. He greeted Xue Bing and prepared to go home.

On the contrary, Xue Bing felt a little embarrassed and said to Tang Fan: "Brother Runqing, today is really in a hurry. I'll invite you to drink another day!"

Tang Fan waved his hand: "By your friendship, you still need to say these false things. If you have official duties, you will naturally not be able to delay..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Xue Bing lowering his voice and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid this time the matter is very difficult!"

Tang Fan was stunned. Just as he was thinking about the deep meaning of his words, Xue Bing had already stopped talking.

Suizhou was moving very quickly, and he came out of the inner room in a blink of an eye. Before he could say anything to Tang Fan, the group left in a hurry.

The other party was so quick-witted that he couldn't help but think too much about what could make Xue Bing so frown, so it must be too small. Maybe it was related to the palace.

Since this is the case, Tang Fan cannot inquire about it. Nowadays, the less you know, the safer you are. People who are smart will die faster.

Lord Tang was generous and felt that he was a low-ranking position and had nothing to worry about, so he lay leisurely in the yard reading books.

After about an hour, a servant from the Sui family came to the door and said that Adong had a very close relationship with their third girl Sui Bi. The third girl repeatedly tried to keep her. Adong would spend the night at the Sui family tonight, sleep with the third girl, and come back tomorrow.

Tang Fan can understand that the little girl is familiar with her quickly and has a good relationship, but if A Dong doesn’t come back, he will be worried: How to solve the problem of supper?

Lord Tang, who has been spoiled by the food these days, felt boring when he thought about the only white porridge he could cook, and finally decided to go out and eat it.

Speaking of the wonton stall that I often go to, because I moved to Suizhou and Adong and Suizhou were feeding him regularly, Tang Fan has rarely been there recently. The owner of the wonton stall also recognizes him. When he saw Tang Fan, he greeted him with a smile: "Master Tang, is there no one in the family?"

Tang Fan smiled bitterly: "Yes, you are here to have a meal!"

The boss said, "Or it's the same?"

Tang Fan: "The same thing!"

After a while, the steaming wontons were brought up. The boss knew that he liked to eat coriander, so he sprinkled more. The bowl was full of green and green, which was mouth-watering. Tang Fan was so happy to see it. He held the chopsticks and was about to sip when he heard someone in his ear: "Good you Tang Runqing, you can have half a day of leisure here!"

Tang Fan looked up and laughed, "I said, why did the magpies chirp on the branches early this morning? It turned out to be Brother Yu Qiao. Come on, sit down, I'll treat you to wontons!"

The visitor was Xie Qian, the top scholar in Chenghua in the 11th year. He was the same year as Tang Fan. Now he has just passed the year. He is also a handsome and elegant demeanor, not inferior to Tang Fan. It was just because when the palace piloted the third grade, Tang Fan passed by the top scholar because he was too young, but in the end he was won by Xie Qian. This rumor was rumored, so many people think that the two would definitely have some knots between each other, but in fact, their private relationship was quite good.

Whether it is Tang Fan or Xie Qian, they are not those narrow-minded people.

Xie Qian smiled, and was not polite. He brushed his long clothes and sat down directly opposite Tang Fan.

Tang Fan teased: "Today's rest, why don't you linger in the study and be willing to run out to go shopping?"

He turned his head and asked the boss to add another bowl of wontons.

Xie Qian gave him a blank look: "It's time for me to take the turn in Japan today, how can I be as leisurely as you?"

Tang Fan patted his forehead: "Yes, I have left the Hanlin Academy for less than a year and I have forgotten even the rules!"
