After dusk, Sun Tu returned to his home from Kaifeng Prefecture.

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a faint electronic sound coming from the room. This made Sun Tu, who was so mighty in the daytime that nothing could be difficult for him, had a helpless smile on his face.

After a few steps to the sound of Yaer's house, Sun Tu sighed and said, "Yaer, have you forgotten to cook again, have you?"

"Oh..." Ya'er's whisper immediately came from inside, and then the little girl ran out in a hurry, holding a rectangular object the size of a palm in her hand, which was a common handheld toy in later generations.

Seeing the little girl's appearance, Sun Tu stroked her forehead with regret. He shouldn't have handed over the handheld machine in the newly opened warehouse to her for time two days ago. This made Ya'er a little distracted from her.

That's right, after a series of previous events, Sun Tu's level in the Jie Zhongjie warehouse system was improved again, and two warehouses were opened again. However, this time the things in the warehouse were still not too practical. Among them, Warehouse No. 6 stores various toys represented by handheld machines, and Warehouse No. 7 has some diving equipment stacked. I don't know which related company asked someone to check in. Anyway, Sun Tu can't use these for the time being.

It was just because she felt that she needed to do things in the yamen and had less time to accompany Ya'er, and was afraid that she would be too bored at home alone, Sun Tu found such a simple handheld machine, which only brought her basic games such as Tetris and gave it to her to play. As a result, the little girl became addicted to it as soon as she played it and became a standard otakus, and even she threw the things she should do.

"Ya'er, have you copied your copybook today?" Seeing the little girl drilling into the kitchen, Sun Tu asked behind her back. This made Ya'er's movements obviously froze. It was obvious that she had been playing games all day long, and she actually forgot about the homework that Sun Tu had assigned when he went out in the morning.

This made Sun Tu's face suddenly sank. This was not enough. He could not harm her, so he followed into the kitchen and spread his hands at her: "Take it."

"Ah..." Ya'er immediately understood what he meant, and hesitated for a while on his face, then hesitated to hand over the handheld machine in his sleeve, and then begged pitifully: "Third brother, I was wrong. I will definitely not do this again in the future. Don't take it away, okay?"

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Sun Tu felt soft. When facing the opponent outside, he could be merciless, but in front of Ya'er, he really couldn't hold up his heart. He just pinched the small handheld machine and said, "I'm just a first offense. I'll punish you not to play with it tonight. I'll return it to you after you write all the words you should write tonight. Also, if you forget the serious business tomorrow because of playing, I won't give it to you anymore."

"Oh." Ya'er's heart was relaxed, she responded quietly, and her head hung down.

"Okay, you go and practice calligraphy first. I will arrange the meal tonight." Sun Tu said, and waved his hand and sent the little girl to leave. Ya'er didn't insist, and agreed and went back to her room to practice calligraphy.

Sun Tu was in a good mood today, so he cooked carefully. Soon he fryed a few dishes, cooked the noodles as the staple food, and brought them to the living room in the middle, and ordered Yaer to have dinner together. With this sumptuous meal, Yaer finally became a little happy. After serving Sun Tu's noodles, she ate them in big mouthfuls.

Just as they were enjoying a rare time of reunion, a knock on the door suddenly came outside the yard, and then Tong Mu's voice also sounded outside: "Can Sanlang be at home?"

Sun Tu hurriedly got up and went out to open the door. After seeing Tong Mu, he smiled and said, "Tong Guan is really a rare guest today." As far as he knew, Tong Mu really passed the imperial examination last month, and was quickly awarded an official, so this title is not bad.

Tong Mu asked his entourage to wait outside, then smiled and entered the door: "Sanlang, don't be so disgusted. Do you still ask me to call you Sun Guanren?"

"Haha, it's just to congratulate you, second brother, for finally becoming an official in the court. And compared to me, a ninth-rank military officer, you, a civil servant who was born in the Jinshi, is much more precious." Sun Tu invited the person into the living room and asked him to sit down before smiling: "By the way, why did you have the chance to come out today?"

Because of Fanlou's dispute, Sun Tu not only lost the dispatch he could have obtained, but also greatly affected several Imperial College students such as Tong Mu. If it weren't for the support of senior family officials behind them, they would probably have even deprived of the opportunity to take the imperial examination.

Because of this, Tong Guan severely punished his nephew and directly ordered his foot ban. In two months, except for the days of the imperial examination, he was banned in the mansion on other days, so this is the first time that the two of them have seen each other again.

Hearing this, Tong Mu also smiled bitterly: "It's really thanks to you. If Sanlang hadn't made the matter so big, how could I be punished so severely?" As he said, he sighed again: "But the matter was really exciting at that time. You didn't see the faces of those self-righteous scholars later. That would be so ugly and so ugly." After saying this, he sighed again, as if he was still savoring the day.

Sun Tu just smiled and did not answer this. Because he did not think it was so successful to ridicule those sour scholars in Fanlou that day, at most he would just exclaim at that time.

After laughing a few times, Tong Mu finally recovered and said, "As for me to see you today, I am here to see you for two things - one is actually here to say goodbye to you."

"Are you leaving Tokyo?" Sun Tu asked in surprise.

"Yes, I am already an official of the court and have been sent to another office. I will leave Bianjing in a few days and go to Huzhou, Zhejiang to serve as an official." Tong Mu then said with a serious expression: "I don't know when you and I will meet again after this separation."

This is the truth. Generally speaking, those who are out of office now often return to Bianjing once a few years, and Sun Tu may have been sent to other dispatches during this period, and it will be even more difficult for the two to meet.

When Sun Tu heard this, he felt a little emotional, but then comforted him: "We are both young, and maybe we will all be at the high level of the court in a few years. Will we be able to join forces to serve the court?"

"Yes, Saburo, you can see far. Let us work together to stand by the ministers in the court as soon as possible." Tong Mu was also excited when he heard this. Then he said, "The second thing is to invite Saburo, you will go to my uncle's birthday party in three days."

"What? Will Tong Shuai's birthday be in three days?"

"Yes, because of this, I'm going to linger here for more, otherwise I'll set off in the next two days."

"But my identity..." Sun Tu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Tong Guan was the Privy Council Privy Council envoy, one of the few big figures in the court. He is now just a ninth-rank official. Is he really qualified to attend his birthday party?

"Sanlang, you are the one that my uncle has always valued, and he is my friend of Tong Mu, so you will naturally participate. You don't have to worry about not being able to come up with any decent gifts at that time. I will arrange this for you." Tong Mu said this thoughtfully again.

This made Sun Tu feel a little moved. As a friend, Tong Mu was really speechless. He even considered this detail for himself. However, he did not accept the other party's kindness: "Second brother doesn't have to worry so much. Since I went to celebrate my birthday, I naturally had to do my best. Let me think of a way to celebrate the birthday."

Tong Mu didn't insist, so he smiled and nodded, "I understand. By the way, although my uncle is over 60 years old, he still likes fresh things the most. You can think of more ways here. If you have a shortage of money, just go to Liufangju to withdraw it."

Sun Tu nodded and responded. The two then chatted for some gossip. Tong Mu asked him about his new entry into Kaifeng Prefecture with concern. Sun Tu simply talked about his situation. He heard the other party sighed again: "Sanlang is very skillful in his methods. It seems that the villains in Tokyo will soon suffer this time. Yuan'er was almost harmed by those people before, so you can't let them go easily."

Sun Tu nodded solemnly and then felt a little moved - Could it be that Tong Guan arranged himself to Kaifeng Mansion to find out the inside story?
