The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Fan Tong's face turned pale as he said, "Xiaofeng, although I'm not as lucky as you, it's impossible that God won't always favor me. Do you have to say such harsh words? You are a deputy general now, and I may become a prime minister in the future. When that happens, we will still rely on each other."

In front of Tong Huaqiong and others, Fan Tong's emotions almost collapsed.

Except for Fan Tongxin, everyone else thought this was a joke.

Tong Huaqiong almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Fan Tong was not treated as a distinguished guest at Tong Huaqiong's house. She felt aggrieved but did not dare to express her dissatisfaction. When she saw Nie Xiaofeng relying on his status as the uncle's master, she vented all her anger.

As for him getting married and becoming a prime minister, even if he didn't have the memory of Tong Dajiao in his previous life, based on what Fan Tong had done so far, it was simply a pipe dream for him to get married and become a prime minister.

Nie Xiaofeng scratched his head and said disdainfully, "Let's talk about it when you get married and become a prime minister. I have high hopes for you, young master."

Nie Xiaofeng was not angry at all in the face of Fan Tong's sarcasm. After all, he was the deputy general, and the one who was jealous was Fan Tong, so he had the advantage.

Seeing that Nie Xiaofeng was not at all angry in the face of his sarcasm, Fan Tong became even angrier.

Seeing that Fan Tong had inexplicably gotten into a fight with Nie Xiaofeng, Gu Honglian felt very nervous and began to feel dissatisfied with Fan Tong.

This time, she stood on Nie Xiaofeng's side and said to Fan Tong, "Xiaofeng wasn't wrong at all. He was just telling the truth. You didn't pass the provincial examination three times due to various circumstances. Xiaofeng is now a deputy general, and you are a scholar. The gap between you two is indeed quite large."

Fan Tong gritted his teeth and held back his anger, feeling that Gu Honglian had become abnormal since arriving in Shengjing, and was against him in everything.

In a situation like this, shouldn't Gu Honglian protect him?

Not only did they not defend him, but they also pulled him down and didn't give him any face at all.

Gu Honglian felt that Fan Tong didn't know what he was being arrogant about. Xiaofeng was, after all, a deputy general, the highest-ranking official in the family.

As Nie Xiaofeng's senior brother and uncle-in-law, shouldn't he climb up?

They had just arrived in Shengjing and still needed to rely on Xiaofeng's influence.

What good would it do him to offend Nie Xiaofeng?

She also wanted to leave Tong Huaqiong's house and go to Nie Xiaofeng.

This time she had offended Nie Xiaofeng so much, how could she ask Nie Xiaofeng for help in the future?

"My dear uncle is ambitious. I, a rough guy who practices martial arts, cannot compare with him. I am waiting for my dear uncle to get married and become a prime minister to support me." Nie Xiaofeng said nonchalantly.

Fan Tong was so angry that he just stiffened his neck and said nothing.

He thought to himself that he must go out and find a way out when the spring comes and the weather gets warmer. He didn't believe that he couldn't find a good way out with his knowledge.

The chief examiner of the Ningcheng Township Examination was short-sighted and looked down upon his essay, but the people of Shengjing were not so superficial.

By the time he was appreciated by a noble person and became successful, people like Nie Xiaofeng would not even be worthy of carrying his shoes.

Fan Tong tried hard to comfort himself psychologically, and his expression soon returned to calm.

Tong Huaqiong noticed that Fan Tong was changing his face like in Sichuan Opera, and thought to himself that this guy was another Gu Ruinian, with lofty ambitions but weak abilities. It would be best if he could just live in fantasy forever.

Although only Gu Baishuang and Nie Xiaofeng came from the Nie family, Tong Huaqiong still made full efforts to entertain them.

During the meal, Nie Xiaofeng drank two more glasses of wine and apologized to Gu Baishuang with red eyes.

He said that his previous thoughts were too naive, thinking that he could maintain harmony in the Nie family by being successful and not fighting.

He underestimated the wickedness of human nature. His two brothers and sister-in-law never regarded him as a brother. From the beginning to the end, they regarded him as an invader who was trying to steal resources. They were wary of him, hated him, and even hoped that he would die on the battlefield and that they would divide up all his glory.

My brother and sister-in-law had such an idea, but my father not only did not stop them, he even accused him of being too fussy.

He was truly disappointed this time.

The Nie family treated him like this, so they could only treat his mother Gu Baishuang even worse than they treated him.

Through this incident, he understood Gu Baishuang's grievances, why Gu Baishuang insisted on keeping all the business in his own hands, and why he seemed to be breaking away from the Nie family.

From other perspectives, he would feel that they were all family and it would be better not to care about it if he could. But now he is completely on Gu Baishuang's side.

He regretted letting his brother and sister-in-law come to Shengjing, as they had caused trouble for Gu Baishuang as soon as they arrived.

Nie Xiaofeng cried as he spoke, while Gu Baishuang looked relieved.

To be honest, when Gu Baishuang learned a few years ago that Nie Xiaofeng personally welcomed Nie Mingyuan and his two brothers and sisters-in-law, she was not disappointed. At one point, she even wanted to move out of the general's mansion and live on her own.

Fortunately, her son did not let her down. After seeing through the evil ambitions of his two brothers and sisters-in-law, he stood firmly on her side. Even Nie Mingyuan's moral blackmail was ineffective.

Tong Huaqiong thought that it was fortunate that Nie Xiaofeng was awake.

One of the mother and son holds the power of the Nie family, while the other is sober. Together, the mother and son will never repeat the fate of their previous life.

Gu Baishuang and Nie Xiaofeng stayed until evening before going back.

Then Tong Huaqiong spent the entire first month of the year entertaining guests with wine and watching operas.

And so it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the streets of Shengjing are bustling with cars and horses, and the streets are hung with lanterns of various colors. When night falls, thousands of lanterns are lit, and the whole Shengjing is shrouded in a sea of ​​colorful lights.

Old Mrs. Min and Old Mrs. Huang invited Tong Huaqiong and her family to go to the street to enjoy the lanterns.

The weather has been fine these days, there is no further snow, and the wind is not as biting as it was a few days ago.

It’s a good time to go out and enjoy the lanterns.

After being busy for the whole year and welcoming and seeing off guests, it is not easy. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a good opportunity to relax and enjoy the lanterns.

At night, Tong Huaqiong took her family out to enjoy the lanterns.

I didn't take a carriage this time because there were too many people on the street and it would be easy to get stuck in traffic, so walking was more suitable.

You can stroll around while enjoying the lights.

"Why didn't Su Chengmin ask you out to watch the lanterns?" Liu Yue'e asked Gu Taohua.

Gu Taohua said, "He's waiting for me at the Magpie Bridge."

The customs of the people in Dasheng were open-minded, and the separation between men and women was not so strict, especially for engaged men and women, who could even date privately.

Magpie Bridge is the most lively place with lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Shengjing, and many young men and women go there to enjoy the lanterns and have dates.

Su Chengmin has been on duty these days. He had originally agreed with Gu Taohua to pick her up to watch the lanterns, but at dusk he suddenly brought news that something happened in the palace and he would not be able to come out until night.

Change the meeting place to Magpie Bridge.

The group arrived at West Street, and the Magpie Bridge was right in the middle of West Street.

Not far from the Magpie Bridge is the lantern viewing platform built by the royal family. Huge lanterns are lit on it, making it as bright as daylight.

Various performances will be performed on the stage in turn, including storytelling, shadow puppetry, martial arts, magic tricks...

At the intersection of West Street, I met Old Mrs. Min, Old Mrs. Huang and Aunt Tang who were waiting there.

Soon Gu Baishuang also arrived, and everyone walked towards the lantern viewing platform next to the Magpie Bridge.

A huge golden dragon-shaped lantern was placed in the center of the lantern viewing platform. The lantern had just been lit and many people were cheering around the golden dragon lantern.

Maner, Yaozu, Huaer and other children couldn't wait to run to the golden dragon lantern.
