Chapter 121 The Three Brothers Taking Back the Gift
The Tan family made their fortune from old man Tan Qiming, who is a close friend of the current president regardless of age difference.
During the turbulent times of the previous dynasty, it was he who decisively took all his family wealth and his two sons who were good at fighting and followed the current emperor in rising up.
The father and son of the Tan family followed the emperor in his battles for more than ten years, and finally pacified the four directions and established a new dynasty. After the establishment of the new dynasty, the old man voluntarily retired to the second line, took off his armor and went home to enjoy his old age. He was named Duke of Zhenguo by the current emperor.
Old Master Tan married three wives in succession and raised four sons and four daughters. When he followed the current emperor in the rebellion, he brought with him the twin sons, Tan Zhongsheng and Tan Shusheng, born to his second wife.
Tan Zhongsheng and Tan Jishen were also conferred the title of marquis respectively. The former is now stationed in the northwest, and the latter guards the capital. The Tan family can be said to be extremely glorious.
Normally, the three young masters of the Tan family, who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, should have seen all kinds of luxurious and valuable items, but they were shown off by Tan Bailu who was far away in a "remote countryside".
After returning to Beijing, the three young masters were busy with their own things, but they gathered together again because of Tan Bailu's letter and squatted in the pavilion in the garden to complain.
"This Fifth Brother is really something. Why is it so difficult to deliver something? The letter came so quickly!" Tan Mengao stepped on the railing with one leg, holding a letter in his hand and fanning his face again and again.
Tan Langxu was leaning against a pillar, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, with a dazed look on his face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
"I did it on purpose." The youngest, Tan Yanlin, sat the most upright, even holding a book in his hands, but he also gave face to the seventh brother in his words.
"Really? You did it on purpose!" Tan Mengao didn't care whether his brother was sincere or not, as long as someone agreed with him, it was fine.
"Seventh Young Master, Fifth Young Master has sent someone to deliver something~" As he was speaking, a servant came jogging over from the Moon Gate and announced the good news before he even reached the pavilion.
"Let's go!" Tan Mengao suddenly became energetic and rushed out without saying a word.
Tan Langxiu didn't seem that anxious, but his body, which stood up straight in an instant, was not as calm as he appeared.
Tan Yanlin put the book away helplessly. He actually understood that although his seventh brother seemed to be interested in the Yu brothers and sisters, he was actually envious of his fifth brother who could be sent out to expand his horizons without the constraints of his elders.
The ninth brother is interested in the Yu brothers and sisters. Firstly, he thinks Yu Song is a talented person and wants to recruit him to train his own direct lineage. Secondly, he is coveting the girl's dog.
As for himself... maybe he finally found an opportunity to serve as a teacher to others.
When the three brothers of the Tan family arrived at the front yard, they just saw the steward of the fifth brother and several servants carrying three boxes into the house.
"Put it down, put it down. Don't go in." Tan Mengao turned his head and glanced at the study. The old man and two uncles are at home today. Don't let them see it. It would be bad to be disrespectful if the time comes.
"Seventh Young Master, Ninth Young Master, and Eleventh Young Master, I am here to greet you. Our master sent me here to run errands. He said that these two boxes are return gifts from the Yu brothers and sisters to you three." When the servant saw the three young masters coming over, he bowed and smiled.
Thinking about the predictions his master made about the three young masters, especially Young Master Meng Ao, when they set out, the steward couldn't help but laugh.
But he held back in the end, turned around and signaled the servant who was carrying the boxes to put the three boxes in front of the third brother, and took out three letters from the leather bag he carried with him: "This is a letter from the young master and the Yu brothers and sisters to you three."
Tan Mengao had almost walked over to open the box, but when he heard that it was a letter from the Yu brothers and sisters, he turned around and reached out to take it.
Unexpectedly, when he touched the envelope, a pair of hands appeared from behind and intercepted it.
The one who intercepted the letter was Tan Langxu, but when he got the letter, he passed it directly to Tan Yanlin who was behind him.
"Seventh brother, go and look at the return gifts first." Tan Yanlin lowered his head to take a look, skipped the letters from his fifth brother and Yu Song, and directly opened the letter from Yu Hongdou.
Yu Hongdou's letter was not very long. She only expressed her gratitude to the three of them for the gifts, and then asked Tan Yanlin if he had heard of the story about Huarong Road in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. She heard from passers-by that Cao Cao was defeated and fled to Huarong Road, but she didn't know if it was true.
"Is this little girl a little partial? Why did she only write two sentences about me in the letter?" Tan Mengao stood beside his brother, read the letter in just a few glances, and couldn't help muttering.
He originally wanted to open the box, but his brother asked him to go, and he didn't want to go anymore. He simply went to read the letter next to Eleven. As a result, he found that the letter only had two sentences at the beginning thanking him.
"Be content. You see, Ninth Brother only said one sentence." Tan Yanlin was thinking when he was startled back to his senses by Seventh Brother's loud voice. He couldn't help but smile and pointed to the second paragraph.
There was only one sentence in that paragraph, thanking Mr. Jiu for his sincere love for Wangwang. Wangwang is now lively and cute, can eat and grow, and weighs eight kilograms.
Compared with his two older brothers, he talked to him the most, which made the young Tan Yanlin feel proud. Look, look, knowledge still convinces!
Tan Mengao snorted and turned to open the box. As he did so, he heard continuous “wow” sounds.
He first pulled out a bar of soap from the box, and immediately grinned: "Haha, I finally got it. Now I don't have to watch Fifth Brother show off anymore."
After Tan Mengao commented on and read the words on the soap packaging one by one, he opened a piece of rose-scented soap and put it directly to his nose to smell it.
The refreshing scent of wild roses goes straight from the nose to the chest, and the whole person seems to become fragrant.
Tan Mengao was as excited as a little child. He smelled all twelve soaps in one breath, and finally chose the mugwort scent as his favorite.
After playing with the soaps enough, Tan Mengao finally remembered that there were other things. He looked through them again and his eyes were caught by the brightly colored wooden figures.
"Why are you giving me a toy? I'm already an adult." Tan Mengao muttered as he took out the game disc.
After a brief study, he pulled the string under the game board, and the little man on the board moved accordingly. The sword was raised and then retracted, which immediately fascinated Tan Mengao.
Tan Langxuan's attention was attracted by the soldier plate that Seventh Brother took out from the box. He walked forward and stretched out his hand to take it, but his good Seventh Brother turned his back defensively.
By the time Tan Langxiu took out "Inspection of Troops on the Battlefield" and "Shaolin Martial Arts Performance" from his own box, Tan Mengao had already learned how to fight with both hands.
Tan Yanlin looked at the game disk, but what he was thinking was, no wonder he was asking about the Three Kingdoms, so that's it.
If we list all the interesting allusions in the Three Kingdoms in detail, it might stimulate the little girl and give her some more amazing and interesting ideas.
Tan Yanlin did it as soon as he thought of it. He asked the servant to carry his box directly to his yard, said something to his two brothers, and left.
"Inspecting the troops on the battlefield and Shaolin martial arts performance, these two names are really perfect." Tan Mengao held a game disc in one hand and looked at the words engraved on the disc in admiration.
"If a dummy like this is placed in the night, and the millstone is pulled by mules and horses, and the rope is pulled, and there is some noise... it can be used as a tactic to confuse the enemy." Invisible war fanatic Tan Langxu directly thought of an alternative application.
"What kind of soldiers are you recruiting? Are we going to fight a war with Shaolin Temple?" The two brothers were still immersed in their own admiration when they suddenly heard a loud voice behind them.
The two brothers' bodies shook at the same time, and two words were revealed on their faces and in their eyes: "It's over..."
