Chapter 490 Madam, are you going out again?
Tang Mo had never asked in detail how much property Xin An had. He only knew that it was quite a lot, especially after absorbing his belongings and his occasional income. He himself couldn't estimate how much it was.
When you first hear the number of two hundred thousand, you’ll feel a little overwhelmed.
"This is a golden opportunity, so we should invest more. By the way, Sister Xu sent me news today, saying that the escort company under the name of the Liao family is planning to expand. If anyone can recommend someone to go there."
Xin An gave the letter to Tang Mo, and said that many of the court's current policies favor merchants and serving soldiers. The emperor is still very determined to enrich the country and strengthen the army. Merchants from all over the country will also become active, indicating that this business has also ushered in a good time.
After reading the letter, Tang Mo said, "I will make arrangements tomorrow. If anyone is willing, just go ahead. Last time, I heard General Wang Lang say that most of those people have found jobs. Most of them have found a way to make a living, so his pressure has been reduced a lot."
"Mrs. Wang still asks you for money regularly?"
Xin An nodded, "It's just a small amount of money, there's no need to go into it. Most people are disabled and can't make a living. How about your place? Can you find someone?"
Tang Mo planned to select an exceptionally outstanding and trustworthy person from among those people and recruit him into the Beiya Army to work under him. The couple had spent so much time and money on those retired veterans, it was impossible that there would be no benefit at all.
As long as he can win over the best of the younger generation, he can build relationships with everyone.
"The man has officially started his service. His name is Xiong Qiang. His father lost an arm and lost an eye. Before he retired, he was in charge of a hundred people. This man is strong and brave. He can carry two bags at a time at the dock. General Wang Lang wanted to recruit him into the army, but he refused."
"You think the money is too little?"
Tang Mo said that the man was already a father of two children, and he had to support his parents, and his wife was not in good health. "He can't help his family when he joins the army, and the money he gets is not enough to support his family."
Xin An asked with a smile, "You can receive tributes when you are on duty, right?"
Tang Mo smiled, "I am not qualified to accept such a small gift, but half of my brothers have to support their families. As long as we don't take things by force and follow the rules, this is not impossible. It is also an unwritten rule."
Xin An did not learn about Tang Mo's job in detail. If he had looked into it carefully, he would have known that Tang Mo had a good reputation in the area under his jurisdiction. Because he had status and was not short of money, he naturally would not think of exploiting the people under his jurisdiction. The people under him were not cruel and were sincere when encountering problems. Naturally, the people liked him.
Tang Mo became proud when talking about this. He said that last time someone criticized Liao Zhi for oppressing the people by the Northern Ya Army, the emperor ordered Liao Zhi to investigate the matter himself. "After a round of investigation, Brother Zhuang and I are the cleanest and have the best reputation."
"The Emperor even praised me."
"Really?"
Xin An was happy for him. "I haven't heard about this incident before. How come you are so capable?"
"Just before you came back from Huaijiang."
Tang Mo felt very sorry. It was a rare opportunity for him to shine, but his wife was not there at the time, so he could not tell his mother and wife. He did not want to say much in front of others and just treated it as an ordinary matter.
"What a shame! We should celebrate for you, but it's not too late. We can celebrate tonight."
Tang Mo immediately asked Chun Yang to arrange a table, "Go to the front yard and invite mother over, so we can celebrate together."
Wang came with questions in mind, but she smiled when she learned the truth. It is never too late to celebrate. "My son is becoming more and more successful, so I should celebrate."
As he said this, he asked Ping Qiu to wrap him a red envelope, saying it was an encouragement. Both the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law smiled. The shameless Tang Mo blushed rarely, but he was extremely happy in his heart. This was the feeling of being valued.
After taking out two hundred thousand of her family's belongings, Xin An no longer cared about the outside world and stayed at home to protect her pregnancy, but she did not cut off contact with the outside world. During this period, Lin Yao and others would occasionally come to talk to her and tell her the latest news outside. Mrs. Liao, who was also inconvenient to go out, would write to her, and she would reply.
On this day, good news came from Tang Yong's mansion. Gu gave birth to a little girl safely. Tang Yong and his wife were extremely happy and immediately sent someone to the mansion to announce the good news.
Wang and Zhao took the three sisters to visit the old lady. The old lady also prepared a gift for Wang to take. Wang invited her to go with her, just as if it were a walk, but the old lady was suffering from the summer heat, and her appetite and spirits were poor. She didn't want to move, so she didn't go. She asked Ganlu to invite Xin An to appreciate calligraphy and paintings with her.
Xin An went there happily. She now had the same treatment as the old lady in the mansion and had nothing to do. As long as the Xin Yue sisters didn't come, she would spend time with the old lady.
"Madam, are you going out again?"
The person in charge of the mansion went out, and the remaining two people who could manage things stayed together and did not leave the courtyard. Tao Yiran, who had dressed up, was about to leave with the maid. Aunt Liu came forward with Chunlang in her arms to persuade him to stay, "The young master likes to be with you now. Look how cute he is."
Tao Yiran looked up at Chunlang. The little kid looked at her with his round eyes and grinned at her. Tao Yiran smiled and teased him, but didn't even want to hug him.
You have to know that babies smell of milk, which is indecent.

"I have to go out for something, please take good care of Chunlang."
"But Madam"
Tao Yiran didn't give her any chance to say more. Now she didn't even have to find a reason to go out. If asked, she would just say she was going to watch a play. With Wang's deliberate indulgence, she felt more and more comfortable.
Aunt Liu chased her to the door, but ultimately failed to keep her. She sighed heavily. How could she not see what Tao Yiran was busy with recently? She was putting on makeup all day, either beautifying her skin or changing her hairstyle. Two days ago, she even asked someone to paint a gorgeous peony under her collarbone with indelible paint.
Summer clothes are thin, and if you wear a gauze dress, the flowers will be faintly visible. What kind of girl would behave like this? What is she trying to do? Seeing that there was no one around, she handed Chunlang to the wet nurse and dodged all the way out of the side door of the Marquis's mansion, heading straight for the Tao family.
At this time, Tao Yiran was sitting in the carriage, slowly waving a silk fan in her hand. I don't know what kind of perfume powder she used, but her body exuded a faint fragrance.
The carriage stopped at the theater. After getting off, she told the driver to pick her up when the time came and walked in. In just a moment, she appeared in a yard full of flowers and plants. There was a rockery in the yard and a pavilion next to the rockery. The pavilion was covered with gauze and surrounded by roses. The wind blew the gauze and the pavilion was full of flowers.
"Do you like this place?"
Prince Nanguang came out from nowhere, gently waving his folding fan, with a smile on his lips, "This place is not far from the theater. If we go out from this courtyard, we will be on another street. We will definitely not embarrass the reputation of the young lady."
