He Feng asked, "After the Chinese New Year this year, I will return to the capital, and Chuan'er will stay here. I imprisoned him when you were exiled. If he comes to the border to find you, please take care of him."
Tong Wen Yao took a sip of tea. The fact that He Feng arranged He Chuan here showed how serious the situation in the capital was. Moreover, the refugees in the south had also launched a resistance. If it was not suppressed in a short time, it would probably become a trend. She guessed that the capital still did not dare to send troops to suppress it, because once troops were sent, the barbarians would attack from the border. By then, there would be no resistance and they would directly attack the capital.
He Feng said, "Now, what that person is going to do is secretly gather your generals at the border. The spies have discovered that the Regent has been secretly communicating with the barbarians, so you must be careful."
Tong Bo asked bluntly: "Uncle, which side are you on now?"
He Feng stroked his beard and said, "I will not stand on either side of the court for someone who can relieve the suffering of the world and bring about a peaceful and prosperous era. This is also the promise I made to you in my lifetime."
He continued, "Nowadays, the world has been suffering for a long time. If there is someone who can bring peace and let the people live and work in peace, this will be a blessing for the people." He Feng's words made Tong Wen Yao have a good impression of him. She didn't expect that in this dynasty, there would be such a forward-thinking person, rather than a stubborn donkey who only believed that the children born by the emperor could inherit the throne.
If Tong Wen Yao was careful enough, she would find that the Tong family was not so taboo about who would become the emperor, and their thinking was much more open than other conservatives.
Tong Wenyao asked, "Uncle, don't you think your thoughts are a bit..." Tong Wenyao didn't say it out loud, but He Feng laughed and said, "Heretical? No, your great-grandmother's thoughts are even more rebellious than mine. It's a pity that she is not here now."
When Tong Wen Yao heard him calling her "Ancestor", she couldn't help but wonder who this person was and why her uncle said he was even more rebellious than him.
As he was speaking, a voice came from outside: "Maidong, this Cangzhou is not as fun as you said, it's boring!"
He Feng glanced at Tong Wen Yao and said, "Chuan'er is back. Wen Yao, go play with him when you have time." Tong Wen Yao guessed that He Feng had something to talk to his second brother, so she agreed obediently, "Okay, Uncle He, I'll go play with He Chuan then."
She got up and opened the door, and saw the master leaning beside her with his eyes closed, while He Chuan was sitting on the chair and calling Mai Dong,
"Xiao Chuanzi, I haven't seen you for so long, why didn't you call me!" When He Chuan heard such a familiar voice, his eyes turned red. He turned around in disbelief and saw the little girl standing at the door, smiling at him.
He sniffed and suddenly laughed out loud, "Wen Yao." He made a hehehe sound and repeated with a smile, "Wen Yao, I saw Wen Yao."
Seeing his silly look, Tong Wenyao approached him and punched him, then said, "I heard from your father that you've caused a lot of trouble in the capital."
After hearing this, he said dissatisfiedly: "Wen Yao, after you left the capital, others bullied me, and I couldn't beat them. You know, I studied medicine, and there are rules in my family that prohibit poisoning."
Tong Wen Yao didn't believe it. In the past, He Chuan and the original owner were arrogant and domineering. They went to the restaurant to drink tea and competed with other young masters for seats. This alone was not a big deal, but the original owner and He Chuan beat others so hard that they couldn't get out of bed. In the end, they were ordered by the two families to apologize before the matter was settled.
The original owner was even more arrogant. If anyone provoked her, she would whip them. If anyone made her unhappy, she would punish them by making them kneel down and bark like a dog.
After being beaten severely by the two families once or twice, Tong Wen Yao and He Chuan became less arrogant and their temperaments changed a little.
He Chuan leaned in closer to look at her carefully and said, "Wen Yao, I find you are much prettier than before." Tong Wen Yao directly pushed his face away with her hand and said, "Just talk, don't just stare at me."
He Chuan whispered, "This time I saw Xiao He in Wanhua Tower in the city." Tong Wen Yao didn't think of Xiao He for a moment, so she didn't say anything.
"Have you forgotten? You were the one who made the courtesan Xiaohe bark like a dog." Speaking of this, Tong Wen Yao remembered that when they were in the capital, they went to Wanhua Tower to play and saw the young master of the Li family forcing Xiaohe. Although Tong Wen Yao was domineering, she could not stand bullying, so she directly pulled Li Yuansi away and kicked him out of the door.
"What kind of person is this? How dare you snatch my woman away? It would be really nice if such a beautiful woman barked like a dog in front of me! Xing'er, let her bark in front of Master Li."
Xiao He could only shed tears, but she knew she couldn't escape, so she crawled around the chair and screamed three times. The young master of the Li family was already angry, and when he saw Tong Wen Yao insulting the courtesan in such a way, he just turned away, and the feud between the two families was thus formed.
He Chuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you like Xiao He to bark like a dog? How about we let her bark this time?"
Tong Wenyao rolled her eyes. "He Chuan, I'm no longer the eldest daughter of the Tong family. There's no one to clean up my mess for me." He Chuan said nonchalantly, "I'm still here. Just follow me."
Tong Wenyao glanced at her master, who was still resting with his eyes closed, seemingly not noticing them. Tong Wenyao pulled He Chuan outside, away from the crowd, and whispered, "He Chuan, I have a lot of things to do right now. I need to read medical books and check on the workshop. I don't have time to do these things."
After hearing this, He Chuan's face flashed with disappointment, and he said, "That's a pity. Xiao He has been bought by an old man. If Li Yuansi were here, he would definitely spend a lot of money to buy him back."
Wait, she actually forgot that there is also a Li Yuansi. The Cui family and the Li family are married, so let's add some spice to their lives.
Tong Wenyao patted his shoulder and said, "Go, we have to save Xiao He from the dire situation and not let that old man ruin her."
"Master, please keep an eye on Wen Jiang for me." She shouted inside, then pulled He Chuan's sleeve and walked towards Wanhua Tower. As soon as she took a step, Tong Wen Yao said, "Do you have any silver?"
He Chuan asked, "Young Master, why do I need money?"
Since there was no money, Tong Wenyao looked at He Chuan's face, patted her own face, and said, "No, I have to change my face before going."
Before He Chuan could react, Tong Wen Yao pulled him into the room and tinkered with him. Even Mai Dong watched curiously. After a while, he was transformed into a uncle in his thirties, and she herself was transformed into a young man in his twenties.
When He Chuan saw this, he immediately became dissatisfied, "Why are you the handsome young man, and I am a greasy uncle?"
She looked at the man's face and said, "Uncle is the rich one. Look, there is a young man who is willing to spend a lot of money." After saying that, He Chuan no longer hesitated, but urged Tong Wen Yao to set off quickly.
