"I've already made an agreement with the Tong family. Just go there. However, the head of the Tong family is not here and only a junior is here. If I make a mistake and say something unpleasant..." Ning Xuesheng stopped talking.
I'm a little embarrassed to say it myself.
Tong Li paused and said, "Nothing."
Ding dong....
The bell rang outside the door.
Pei Jiuyin turned around and opened the door. It was the waiter who delivered breakfast.
He turned back to Tong Li and said, "Eat something first."
Tong Li walked to the dining table. She had no appetite today and took two random bites.
After eating, the three of them were ready to leave for Tong's house.
The Tong family is not in the city, it is a three-hour drive from the city.
Tong Li was sitting in the back seat. Perhaps she didn't want people to see her irritability, so she simply closed her eyes tightly to hide all her true emotions.
Pei Jiuyin kept holding Tong Li's hand tightly.
Ning Xuesheng in front also looked very irritable.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became depressing.
Pei Jiuyin was mainly worried about Tong Li's mood. Ning Xuesheng was worried that when she arrived at Tong's house later, Tong Heng wouldn't let her go to the river. What if Tong Li forced her way in?
This woman has always had her own way of doing things, and if there was a conflict, he would definitely not be able to hold Tong Li down.
worry.
He took out his cell phone and tried to call Mr. Tong. Unexpectedly, he got through.
"Hey." I don't know what they are doing over there, and the surrounding sounds are quite noisy.
"Uncle Tong, where are you now?" Ning Xuesheng covered his phone and lowered his voice, as if he was a thief.
"What happened to me outside?"
"Uncle Tong, today I..." He whispered what he said to Tong Heng yesterday.
He didn't know what kind of reaction he heard there, since there was no sound for a long time.
After a long time, a slightly trembling voice came from the other side: "You said her name is Tong Li?"
"Um."
"You said she has Ying Qianzhu?"
"right."
Ning Xuesheng was a little surprised. Tong Heng was extremely calm when he heard this yesterday, but the other party was obviously more excited, as if he was suppressing something, especially when it came to Ying Qianzhu.
He felt that Tong Heng's reaction was what normal people reflected. After all, it was just something recorded in a book.
Hearing that an ancient magic weapon appeared today, everyone would be suspicious.
After a long time, there was the sound of heavy breathing from over there.
"Xue Sheng, please help me entertain the good people first. You tell Tong Heng to keep the people behind. I will go back immediately."
Immediately after this sentence, you can see how eager there is.
"Okay, uncle, please slow down."
Although Tong Li had her eyes closed and her ears were not deaf, she could hear their conversation clearly, but she didn't care much.
After Ning Xuesheng hung up the phone, he kept thinking about what Master Tong said.
The car drove to the Tong family manor while she stared in confusion.
The Tong family is indeed the most wealthy family in M city. Just looking at the grand door, you can tell how wealthy the Tong family is.
But money is nothing, the most noble thing is the aristocratic status of the Tong family.
For thousands of years, nobles in the palace have come and gone, but only the Tong family has managed to remain standing to this day. No one knows how they did it. Anyway, no matter what happens, they can be independent and stand proudly in the world.
Now on the surface, the Tong family seems to be a rich and noble family, but in fact, the Tong family in M city can cover the sky with one hand. There is a rumor in their M city that the Tong family is the only one in the world who cannot be messed with.
Everyone who understands it understands it.
Although the Tong family is powerful, they are very low-key, never causing trouble, and those who can talk can not use their fists. This is the Tong family. Although the family is the only one, it is a highly respected existence in M City that everyone admires.
.
But there was one thing that he couldn't figure out no matter how hard he thought about it.
The Taoism of the Tong family has been passed down for generations, but their family has an uncivilized rule. No one in the Tong family, regardless of talent, is allowed to practice any kind of magic. If they are discovered, they will be expelled from the family immediately and removed from the family tree, without any objection.
In the early years, the Tong family did produce a boy with extraordinary talent. The boy didn't want to erase his talent, so he practiced secretly. Later, the Tong family found out and kicked the boy out of the family tree without any discussion.
room.
It was this kind of thunderous method that made the Tong family afraid to think about it again.
After all, the Tong family has great power, so being kicked out of the Tong family because of a mere Taoism would be a bit of a loss.
Their direct line cannot touch them, but their collateral lines provide strong support, which creates a rather contradictory illusion.
As for the reason, no one has figured it out until now. It is said that only the family heads of the past generations know, but this secret will only be taken to the grave.
Ning Xuesheng sighed inaudibly, looking at the colorful world of the Tong family, but had no intention of appreciating such beautiful scenery.
Tongjia Manor is very large. After driving in and turning a few turns, we arrived at the main hall gate.
Ning Xuesheng looked at the empty steps and felt a little dissatisfied.
Yesterday, he asked Tong Heng to pay more attention to him. If he didn't come out to greet him, he would at least arrange for some people to come out.
Looking at the deserted doorway, I felt straight in my heart that Tong Heng was outrageous.
After the car stopped, Pei Jiuyin got out of the car first and walked aside to open the door for Tong Li.
"Be careful."
Tong Li bent slightly and got out of the car.
Looking at the solemn gate of this manor, a different kind of emotion lingers in my heart.
Ning Xuesheng lacked confidence and walked to Tong Li: "Let's go, Tong Heng should be inside."
Ning Xuesheng took the lead to walk up the steps, followed by Tong Li. Suddenly she stopped and looked towards the west.
Pei Jiuyin was the first to notice something strange about her and squeezed her palm: "What's wrong?"
Tong Li's face was unusually indifferent, and he looked up at the door of Tong's house again.
"Nothing."
Pei Jiuyin didn't believe it, and neither did Ning Xuesheng.
As soon as Ning Xuesheng and the other three entered the hall, they saw the butler rushing in from another passage.
When he saw Ning Xuesheng, he was all smiles: "Master Ning."
Ning Xuesheng nodded towards him: "Uncle Lin."
"Where's Tong Heng?"
"The young master is probably feeling unwell and he hasn't gotten up yet. I've already sent someone to call him."
Ning Xuesheng understood. After all, that child was just like Lin Daiyu. He couldn't stand it even if the wind blew it, which made people feel distressed.
The housekeeper turned his attention to Tong Li, curious and respectful: "This is Miss Tong."
Tong Li nodded slightly and looked at the luxurious hall.
Butler Lin bowed slightly, with apologetic eyes: "I'm sorry, I was delayed by something just now, and I delayed you. Please come in, the young master will be down in a moment."
Ning Xuesheng glanced at Butler Lin strangely, but he didn't say anything yet. Why did he treat Tong Li with such respect?
This is not the way to treat a stranger.
Butler Lin led the three of them to sit down on the sofa and asked them to prepare tea and cakes.
There was a noise upstairs, and Tong Heng, who was sleeping in a daze, was surrounded by people and came downstairs.
The weather in the morning was pretty good and slightly cool, at least not related to the cold, but Tong Heng went downstairs wearing a thick cloak.
Ning Xuesheng was not surprised, but Pei Jiuyin had no interest in his face. Nothing could attract his attention except Tong Li.
