Chapter 46 May be used (Part 1)

When Tong Guan walked out of the door, a slave immediately stepped forward to guide him with lights, but he glanced at the middle-aged man dressed in a scholar beside him: "What do Liangyu think of this person?"

The literati was named Fang Qian and his courtesy name was Liangyu. On the surface, he was just a counselor Jiyi in the Privy Council, but in fact he was the most trustworthy aide around Tong Guan. He had great power and Tong Guan had to listen to his opinions on many things. When Tong Guan came in to meet Sun Tu just now, he was also listening and watching. At this time, he listened to this issue and thought about it a little.

After the two of them were far away from Tong Mu's courtyard, he carefully said: "I thought this son was indeed extraordinary, brave and knowledgeable. He was a little bit too sharp and was a piece of uncensored jade. If he had been cultivated and carved, he could be of great use."

"Well, your opinion is similar to that of a certain person. This is a rare talent. At his age, ordinary people are not at a loss without saying this in front of me. As for showing their sharpness, he is just a young man after all, and a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, which is understandable." Tong Guan smiled on his face: "What's more, he has kindness to my Tong family. Not only did he save Yuan'er, but also Mu'er. What's particularly valuable is that he is not proud of himself and has not put forward any unreasonable thoughts."

"Tong Shuai, I don't know if I should say something about it." Fang Qian said with a little hesitation. Only those who are very close to Tong Guan know that he likes to be called Tong Shuai the most, and he has always called him that in private.

"What can't be said between you and me?"

"Yes, Bei Zhi always feels that this matter is a bit strange. No matter who it is, if he really saves people, he always wants to gain some benefits, but then Sun Tu is too upright, which makes people feel suspicious. Will he have no purpose?" As a close friend of Tong Guan's side, Fang Qian still has to remind him of some details that he did not notice.

This statement really made Tong Guan feel a little suspicious about Sun Tu: "What you said is not unreasonable, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable."

"Yes, so if Tong Shuai really wants to cultivate and support him, he must first check his foundation." Fang Qian finally explained his meaning completely. Of course, he said this not because he was jealous of Sun Tu's talent. With his current status, he would not be jealous of a young man without any background, but just to share the worries of the master's family.

"Then check it carefully. I heard what he said was from Yuncheng County, Shandong Province, so I'll leave it to you." As the two of them spoke, they had already arrived at the fourth courtyard. Fang Qian had stopped habitually, and Tong Guan gave an order before entering. After he bowed his hand, he walked into the door with several servants.

At the same time, Tong Muzheng looked at Sun Tu with an apology: "Brother Sun is really sorry. I really didn't know that uncle was outside the door just now, and he almost harmed you." Yes, if Sun Tu's previous answer was wrong and angered Tong Guan, it would be hard to say what happened.

Sun Tu smiled calmly: "Brother Tong doesn't have to worry about you. I believe you didn't mean it, let alone I'm fine? Now you should be at ease. I won't have prejudice against you like others because of your family background. In fact, let alone Taiwei Tong may not be as unbearable as rumors outside. Even so, I will be yours, not him."

Tong Mu felt warm in his heart and said, "Brother Sun is indeed very knowledgeable, which makes me admire him. By the way, do you have fame and fortune?" In his opinion, only those who are familiar with the books of sages will have such knowledge.

But this time Sun Tu was about to disappoint him: "To be honest, although I know some words, I have never studied it and I am completely unfamiliar with Confucian classics. And if I have fame and fortune, I will not come to Tokyo as a japanese mail."

Tong Mu then realized it and said apologetically: "I was the one who made me lose my word for a moment. But don't worry, I will definitely help you solve your trouble."

"Actually, what I care about is not the more taxes I have to pay, but I feel that this matter is actually a problem. The county government has already stated the specific numbers in my document, but why did it double when it reached the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Of course there are bad things, but I'm afraid it's impossible to find out." This time, Tong Mu didn't dare to take a big fuss and say that he had a way to solve this problem.

While talking, Tong Rui rushed over again, but this time it was not only him, but also several servants from the Tong family. They had a lot of vegetables and food in their hands, all of which were placed on the table in front of them.

Sun Tu was indeed hungry, so he was not polite at the moment and started eating in big mouthfuls. However, Tong Mu, as the owner, had not eaten much because his illness was not cured yet, and he just ate some with Sun Tu.

It was not until he filled his stomach that Sun Tu remembered Ya'er and asked Tong Rui who was serving him: "Manager Tong, can you take the sister-in-law?"

While she was talking, another sound of footsteps sounded outside, and then a petite figure came to the door. It was Ya'er who arrived. She was still a little nervous, but she was relieved until she saw Sun Tu sitting there. She hurried into the door: "Third brother... Why haven't you come back to see me for so long? I thought you don't want Ya'er anymore..." As she said that, her eyes were a little red.

At that time, Sun Tu said that he would go back soon, but after two hours, there was no one. Ya'er was in the city of Bianjing where people and land were alive, so she was naturally very scared. Seeing the third brother again at this time, she couldn't hold back the grievances in her heart.

Sun Tu felt guilty, and he really ignored the little girl for future planning. He comforted her and promised that he would not do this in the future.

Tong Rui was quite eye-catching, and quickly sent someone to Ya'er a few pastries to distract her from food. Sure enough, the little girl with great foodie potential was smelling the tempting sweet smell. After looking at the pastries she had never seen before, the grievance in her heart finally disappeared, but she was still a little afraid and didn't dare to eat it directly.

It was not until Sun Tu nodded to her and told her not to be polite that Ya'er picked up a piece of tender green cake and tasted it in small bites. She took only one bite and her little face was full of surprise. Then she didn't care about anything else and kept stuffing the pastries into her mouth.

"Slow down, don't choke." Sun Tu was also funny when he saw this, so he quickly persuaded her and poured her a glass of water. Tong Mu was stunned by the sight. He had never seen anyone eat like this, especially when the other party was still a girl's house.

After the few people were finished eating, Tong Mu said to Sun Tu again: "Since we have brought all the sister Ling, Brother Sun will stay here. If you have any needs, just tell Uncle Rui that he will arrange everything for you."

It was hard to refuse the kindness, and this was the result that Sun Tu hoped to see, so he did not refuse and stayed with Yaer at Tong Mu, living in the two wing rooms to the east.

The environment here is naturally far from comparable to the guest rooms in ordinary foot shops. Ya'er, who has never seen the world, was so dazzling when she saw the various furniture carved from high-quality mahogany and rosewood, as well as other porcelain decorations.

Until everyone else left and only herself and Sun Tu left in the room, she asked uncertainly: "Third brother, will we stay here tonight?"

"It's not just tonight, but I've been here these two days. Actually, it's your credit. If you hadn't advised me that day and asked me to treat that young master Tong, we wouldn't have had the chance to live in such a good place." Sun Tu smiled and said.

"Oh, he was the sick young man that day. I almost couldn't recognize him, I only remember that young man." Ya'er then realized that she was even more happy. It turned out that she was also useful.
