But despite this, when Mrs. Jin asked He Tong's mother to play with her cousin, Uncle He still did not dare to agree.

She didn't know Mrs. Jin, who knew whether Mrs. Jin was speaking politely or truthfully at this time?

Not only that, she also said with a smile: "Madam, don't spoil her anymore. She rarely comes with you for a walk. She runs out to play by herself. What's going on?" As she said that, she looked at He Tongniang with a angrily look and signaled her not to make a move on her own.

Before He Tong's mother got married, Uncle He's wife had already ordered her to be asked, so she naturally wouldn't believe whatever her mother-in-law said.

She stood there reservedly, smiling warmly.

Mrs. Jin also survived from a new wife or a new wife to today. She didn't know what the He family and daughter thought. She never liked He Tongniang, but she didn't hate her. Today, she felt soft to He Tongniang because of such a little touch. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Don't be strict with yourself and be lenient with others. I am not that mother-in-law who is indifferent. Since I asked Tongniang to play with my cousin, Tongniang just went there. It just happened that I and your mother and your aunt would talk."

Then Uncle He quickly winked at his daughter and signaled her to obey her orders.

He Tongniang smiled and saluted to Mrs. Jin, uncle, and Mrs. He, and said a few polite words. Then she left the flower hall with the Winter Solstice and went to the warm room not far from the flower hall.

Although the weather is getting cooler, it is not as good as burning the ground dragon. The warm trunk is covered with soft silk, and the sunshine at noon in autumn is bright and warm.

He Tong's mother suddenly felt like she had no bones and leaned on the big kang by the window, and smiled and sighed: "Winter Solstice, you will have to marry later than me in the future. It's so many rules to become a marriage!"

Li Dongzhi seemed more steady than He Tongniang. She walked over slowly and sat down by the kang. The little maid took off her shoes, got on the kang, sat cross-legged, waited for tea fruit snacks, sent the people who served in the room to pick up the tea cup and sip it in a small sip. Then she smiled and said, "Don't my cousin't be directed towards you?"

He Tongniang's face suddenly turned red and she stammered: "What are you asking about this?"

Li Dongzhi smiled and said, "Aren't you going to tell me this?"

"Oh!" He Tongniang's face turned even redder.

But she really has no brothers and sisters, and no second person to talk to.

She got up and drank a few sips of tea and ate a snack. She couldn't help but say, "Your cousin-law is very nice to me. Although he is a concubine and can't speak at home, he always pretends to be invisible when his mother-in-law wants me to do anything, but when she returns to the house, she will help me with my feet considerately..." She said, her eyes with a dreamy look of confusion, "Don't look at him saying nothing, but everything is in his heart, and he always helps me silently... He is also pitiful, and he has no biological mother since he was a child... No wonder his people are gentle and considerate..."

Li Dongzhi laughed as he heard it.

He Tongniang was both annoyed and shy, and rushed over to scratch her itch.

Li Dongzhi hurriedly whispered to save Rao.

He Tongniang didn't dare to make too much trouble, for fear that her temples would be messed up and would leave a frivolous impression on her mother-in-law, which would be bad for Jincheng. So she took the opportunity to let Li Dongzhi go and called her close-fitting maid to see if her makeup was messy.

The little maid helped her to tidy up again and retreated with a smile.

He Tongniang sat down again and had tea with Li Dongzhi.

Li Dongzhi couldn't help but say, "I want to marry like my sister-in-law in the future."

"Huh!" He Tongniang opened her eyes wide.

Li Dongzhi frowned and said, "My elder brother is a rare trip. My elder sister-in-law dares to tie a peach wood hairpin and runs out to greet my elder brother. My elder brother doesn't care. Once, I saw my elder brother back with my elder sister back, and my elder sister was playing with my elder brother's hair on my elder brother's back. My elder brother couldn't laugh or cry, but his eyes were as deep as the lake water in spring... I've never seen my elder brother show such an expression... nor did I see it on other people's faces... My elder sister was afraid that I would make noise, so she hurriedly covered my mouth..."

He Tongniang was stunned, then laughed and whispered to Li Dongzhi: "The eldest cousin must like the eldest cousin's wife very much. They all said that the eldest cousin married the eldest cousin's wife for the sake of his future, and the eldest cousin must not..."

Li Dongzhi was very angry when he heard this, and said with his eyebrows upright: "Who said this? It's too much? Didn't you reject it?"

He Tongniang used to be tolerant when she encountered such a thing, but since the dealer's incident last time, she found out that tolerance could not be exchanged for others to stop talking, so she was no longer afraid of quarrel with others to defend her family and refute.

"If I were alone, of course I would refute it!" He Tongniang covered her mouth and smiled, "But my uncle was there that day. Before the Shao family could speak, my uncle kicked him out... I don't have the chance to defend himself!"

Li Dongzhi was very surprised and felt that he had blamed He Tongniang for a wrong reason. He was embarrassed and silent for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "That Jin Xiao, Jin Xiao is also a good person!"

He Tongniang nodded with a smile and said affirmatively: "My uncle is indeed a good person. It's just that the marriage is a bit difficult."

She told Li Dongzhi what she found in the Jin family these days: "...My mother-in-law didn't want to visit my sister-in-law, she wanted to avoid my uncle's marriage. These days, my mother-in-law has looked at the face of the Shao family for my uncle's marriage. According to me, the Shao family is too much. They thought they were the original Shao family! You must have never heard of it in Xi'an. Once I accidentally heard my third uncle and my mother-in-law tell that the Shao family was not taking taxes from those past merchants? As a result, the taxes collected were robbed when they were transported to the General's Mansion!"

"Ah!" Li Dongzhi opened his eyes wide, "There is such a thing?"

"Who said no!" He Tongniang looked around and lowered her voice, "It is said that it was robbed in broad daylight. After robbing people, she ran out of the city. The horns were blown in the city, but the people robbed them. Not only that, the caravans forcibly broke through Yulin Pass. And it was not a caravan, but several caravans. General Shao had no choice. He heard that he had personally gone out to make peace with the horse bandits outside the pass. In the future, the commercial taxes of Yulin Pass were also considered as one of those horse bandits." Speaking of this, she said in confusion, "You said that those horse bandits were killed without blinking. General Shao was like this, wouldn't it be a collusion between officials and bandits! If someone impeached him, wouldn't he be dead?"

Li Dongzhi didn't understand either, she guessed: "Maybe it's because he wanted to catch those who rob taxes? "

He Tongniang was not interested in these things. She was just gossiping about family affairs with Li Dongzhi.

She nodded after hearing this and said, "Anyway, my third uncle was very happy when he talked about this. He said that if the Shao family continued to do this, there would be a big mess. If the Jin family really got married with the Shao family, they might be implicated. Let my mother-in-law go to the capital to avoid it. Whoever wants to care about my uncle's marriage will go."
