The discussion among the three siblings in the study was interrupted at the implementation of this step.
Lack of manpower is indeed their biggest problem now.
"Let's go out for dinner first and discuss this in the afternoon."
"Brother, do you remember anything?" Tang Sanfeng asked.
"It's about the age of the prime minister's daughter when she was reborn. Three of the four children... I suspect this matter has something to do with her."
Big brother's words made Tang Sanfeng take a breath of cool air, "Big brother, are you saying..."
"Brother and sister, come out for dinner!" Tang Silong's voice rang out again, interrupting what Tang Sanfeng wanted to say.
"Go out first. If you don't go out now, the four dragons will come and break down the door." Tang Erhai stood up first.
The person who is most enthusiastic about eating at home is none other than Tang Silong, especially now that their father is back.
Every time they had a meal, there would always be a scene at the table where Tang Silong would always find an opportunity to put a lot of food into his father's bowl.
However, now that Tang Yihai has returned, I'm afraid this activity will no longer be held.
Sure enough, as soon as the three siblings went out, they saw Tang Silong sitting in the seat that belonged to Tang Yihai.
"Silong, if you sit in the eldest brother's seat, where should the eldest brother sit?" Tang Sanfeng walked over and spoke.
"Ah? Then... can Big Brother sit in my seat?" Tang Silong said with a guilty conscience, but he didn't seem to have any intention of moving.
"How can that be possible? Ask Dad and see if he agrees." Tang Sanfeng held back his laughter.
"Dad..." Tang Silong looked at his father sitting next to him and said expectantly.
"Ahem..." Tang Ming'an coughed lightly, "Seniority should be respected. Silong, you should take your seat."
"All right."
Tang Silong always obeyed his father's words, so he jumped off the chair disappointedly, picked up his bowl and returned to his seat.
Everyone else tried to hold back their laughter when they saw him like this. Even Tang Mingan, who acted like a stern father in front of the child, had a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Brother..." Tang Silong suddenly spoke.
Tang Yihai, who had just sat down, heard it and responded, "What's wrong?"
"That is... when are you going to take the exam again?"
"Ahem..." Tang Yihai almost laughed out loud after hearing his question, "The next one is the provincial examination, which will be in three years."
Three years later, it still takes that long!
Tang Silong, who had been muttering to himself, stopped talking and buried his head in his meal.
only--
Seeing the third piece of meat in the bowl, Tang Yihai couldn't help but say, "Silong, big brother doesn't need you to pick up the food for him, just eat it yourself."
"Oh." Tang Silong responded, and immediately took back the chopsticks he had just extended.
Lunch ended with Tang Yihai and Tang Silong talking from time to time.
After dinner, Tang Yihai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After resting for a while after dinner, the three siblings were about to go into the small study to continue discussing the morning topic when Tang Yihai was stopped.
Therefore, Tang Erhai and Tang Sanfeng watched their elder brother and father walk into the small study room and could only give up helplessly.
Tang Ming'an came to see his eldest son mainly for two things. One was about his imperial examination, and the other was to convey his uncle's original words to him.
The second is to find out what kind of person he is.
After the father and son finished their conversation, Tang Yihai still didn't know that most of his information had been revealed in the conversation just now.
The news that Tang Yihai passed the examination and became a scholar quickly spread throughout Tangjia Village.
Many villagers brought their children to congratulate him and share in the scholar's good fortune. Tang Sanfeng's stall also earned a lot of money.
There are few educated people in Tangjia Village, and even fewer who can pass the imperial examinations.
The last person in the village who passed the imperial examination was more than 30 years ago, and now there is another one.
Of course, Ye Qimin of the Ye family is a great man and is more respected by the villagers.
Having an outstanding person in the village was something they should be proud of, but unfortunately the Ye family was a foreigner in Tangjia Village. They thought more than once that it would be better if the family name was their own.
As agreed before, after Tang Yihai returns, the two families will have dinner together.
Tang Mingan chose a time to call the Ye family over and have dinner together in the evening.
In the yard, a group of children were laughing and playing, and at this moment the kitchen was bustling with activity.
In order to save time, the kitchen of the uncle next door was also cooking.
When the sun was about to set, the table had already been set up in the Tang family's courtyard and the food was placed on it.
There were more people from the Ye and Tang families, so they had to sit at three or four tables to seat everyone.
When a family gets together, especially the adults, they will definitely drink. At least Tang Mingan was forced to drink a few glasses.
But Lin Lang was different. He just tilted his head back and started drinking. In the end, he even flirted with Ye Qimin in front of everyone, calling her "beautiful girl" all the time.
Ye Qimin looked a little uncomfortable when her husband called her in such an indecent way, but she still carefully supported her husband to prevent him from falling off the chair.
Hearing his mother's voice, Ye Xiaosen, who was enjoying eating the meat, suddenly turned around and shouted at that direction.
"Father! When I grow up, I want to snatch a scholar home and become your husband just like you!"
"You have great ambition! You are worthy of being my son, Lin Lang!"
Ye Xiaosen's eyes lit up when he heard his father's answer, and he shouted loudly, "Father, do you agree?!"
"I was...wuwu..." Lin Lang had just shouted out two words when his mouth was suddenly covered by Ye Qimin who was sitting next to him.
"Stop talking..." Ye Qimin leaned close to his ear and whispered nervously.
If I continue, what happened back then will be exposed.
Lin Lang's attention was instantly diverted by the itchy feeling of her husband's breath in her ear.
She turned her head and kissed him, then said with a smile, "Well... don't tell me..."
Hearing that his father just shouted two words and then fell silent, Ye Xiaosen became a little anxious, "Father, do you agree or not?!"
"Xiao Sen! Stop talking and eat your meal!" Ye's mother shouted loudly, then turned around and smiled apologetically at the people at the table, "This child talks nonsense all day long."
The adults didn't take it too seriously and just laughed it off. After all, children's words don't count.
On the child's side, Ye Xiaosen, who was scolded by his grandmother, was muttering to himself while eating his rice, with a somewhat indignant look on his face.
Sitting next to him was Tang Erxi, the second son of Uncle Tang. He heard everything Ye Xiaosen said just now.
After enduring for a while, the shy Tang Erxi finally couldn't resist his curiosity and reached out to gently poke Ye Xiaosen next to him.
"What is a subjugated husband?"
Suddenly he was poked. Ye Xiaosen turned his head and only saw his mouth moving, but didn't hear any sound. "What did you say?"
"That is...what do you mean by 'supressing the husband' just now..." Seeing Ye Xiaosen looking at her, Tang Erxi blushed a little.
"Well..." Ye Xiaosen thought he might have found a like-minded person, so he stopped eating and leaned close to whisper in his ear.
As Tang Erxi listened, he gradually understood, and finally felt a little shy.
Tang Sanfeng, who was sitting opposite them, was eating. She looked up at them and wondered if her shy second cousin would be corrupted by her younger cousin.
Dinner took a long time and it was already dark by the time they finished.
It was too dark to go back, so Ye Qingyu persuaded his parents and elder brother to stay for one night.
At this time, Lin Lang was already very drunk and was lying in Ye Qimin's arms, talking drunkenly. Ye's father also fell asleep on the table.
Finally, the people from the Ye family stayed. After everyone had washed up, they were fed sobering soup. By then, it was already midnight.
At night, everything around me gradually became quiet, with only the chirping of insects.
Far away at the other end of Tangjia Village, near the Ye family, dark shadows kept flashing by.
Men in black, wearing black clothes and black masks, appeared outside the Ye family. One of them waved his hand, and then five or six men in black silently crossed the wall and sneaked in.
After a few moments, the group came back. The leader was feeling strange when he heard someone report that there was no one inside.
"The action was leaked?!"
"Boss, I think they should be sleeping at Tang's house." One of them whispered.
"Could it be that Tang Mingan knows our plan?"
No one present spoke.
"Let's go!" The leader waved his hand, and all the men in black outside the Ye family left quickly.
At this time, a group of men in black also appeared from the Tang family's side.
When they approached, Tang Ming'an was suddenly awakened. After waking up, Tang Ming'an felt a palpitation in his heart and subconsciously released his supernatural powers.
After noticing that more than twenty men in black were rushing towards the Tang family from the same direction, Tang Ming'an gradually became murderous.
After a while, the door was opened quietly, and Tang Mingan walked out lightly and saw Lin Lang who also came out of the east room.
Lin Lang at this moment looked different from usual. The murderous look on his face and the cold eyes made him look like a different person.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned around and closed the door gently at the same time.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Lin Lang used his lightness skills to leap towards that direction at high speed. Although Tang Mingan did not know lightness skills, his speed was not slow either.
The two groups suddenly collided, and the men in black had no time to react before they lost several people.
After dealing with a man in black, Tang Mingan snatched the knife from his hand and turned around to block it. The sound of two knives colliding was heard with a "clang".
Suddenly, Tang Mingan saw from the corner of his eye that several men in black were walking away from them without stopping.
Tang Ming'an suddenly had an idea and shouted to Lin Lang, "Lin Lang! Stop them!"
Even if Tang Mingan didn't shout, Lin Lang saw it.
Lin Lang swung his two swords to the sides, and two more people lay at his feet, with a few drops of blood on their originally fair faces.
Without having time to look behind him to see if there was anyone else, Lin Lang used his Qinggong skills to catch up with them, and soon someone else caught up.
Lin Lang's martial arts skills are good and his attacks are quick, fierce and accurate, but two fists are no match for four hands.
Fortunately, Tang Mingan caught up quickly.
Just when the two of them had teamed up to deal with all the men in black, Lin Lang's ears moved, as if he heard something.
His face turned dark and he began to curse under his breath.
By the time the two of them had dealt with the dozen or so men in black who had rushed over, it had already been an hour since they left.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, accompanied by the chirping of insects at night, and the atmosphere was very subtle.
"Who did you offend? They sent so many people here to silence you." Lin Lang suddenly said.
"The latter batch came from the direction of the Ye family." Tang Mingan answered a question that was not asked.
He used his psychic powers to investigate and knew more information than Lin Lang.
"Tsk, that's enough. Remember to give me a copy of whatever information you find." Lin Lang said impatiently.
Being forced out of her husband's arms late in the night, Lin Lang's patience has run out.
After taking care of the people, you still have to destroy the bodies yourself, but there is nothing you can do to clean up the bloodstains on the ground.
"Just go to the mountain and grab a wild boar and throw it here. I'll leave this matter to my brother-in-law." With that, Lin Lang left.
In the end, Tang Mingan, who was busy and exhausted, had to go up the mountain to pull back a wild boar.
