Chapter 70 Tang Rong was severely stimulated
Tang Gang had never liked Tang Mo, but ever since he helped Tang Yaoming get a job, he liked Tang Mo a little better. Even though Tang Mo behaved improperly in front of him, he no longer disliked him as much as before.
Wang didn't care what Tang Gang thought for the time being, and asked Tang Mo about his work today, whether he was bullied, whether he was not used to it, etc.
"Not so used to it."
Talking to his mother, Tang Mo's attitude changed drastically. "Mother knows that this is her son's first job, and he is very excited. But after arriving, he felt a little uneasy and didn't know what to do. I will be fine after getting familiar with it for a few days."
Wang felt distressed and said, "Your second aunt brought me some meat and candy today. You can take them back later and wrap them in oil paper and put them in your purse. Use them as a snack when you are hungry."
Tang Gang couldn't listen any more, "A loving mother often spoils her child. It doesn't matter if a child this old goes hungry for a few meals, but he still brings dried meat and sugar to work. Why don't you arrange a wet nurse for him? You want to make people laugh at you."
Wang said, "It doesn't matter whether you take it or not. You can take it back later and eat something when you have nothing to do."
Tang Mo agreed with a smile, "The meat in my second uncle's shop is the best, fragrant and filling. He said last time that he would bring some for me. I will go to my second uncle for more after I finish eating."
Wang smiled and said, "Your second aunt also said that if you want anything, just send someone to tell her."
As he was talking, Steward Zhang came in with a basket of grapes. "It was sent by the steward of the Second Master's residence. He said that the grapes in Master Yaoming's yard are ripe, and he wanted the Second Young Master's wife to have a taste."
"This was given to me by my cousin."
Xin An took the basket and said with a smile, "When I went back last time, the grapes were still sour, so my cousin's wife said she would send me some when they were ripe."
He picked up one and tasted it, "It's really sweet. It was sour the last time I tasted it."
"Hurry up and wash a few strings and bring them over."
Before washing, Tang Mo handed two skewers to Manager Zhang, "I remember that Old Madam Zhang likes this, bring some back for her to try."
Manager Zhang thanked him happily, "Thank you, Second Young Master."
Chunyang moved quickly and brought back the washed grapes in a short while. Xin An brought the grapes to Wang, who picked up one, peeled it and tasted it. "It's really sweet."
Tang Mo also came forward to eat, saying that it tasted very good. Niang San ate happily while Tang Gang watched from the side. Xin An winked at Tang Mo, and Tang Mo then handed him a string, "Try it too, it's better than outside."
Xin An agreed, "I heard from my cousin's wife that it was cultivated by Lord Gu. It is not only large and juicy, but also sweet, 80% sweet and 20% sour. Father, please try it."
Tang Gang took it, picked one off and put it in his mouth, "I know these grapes. Lord Gu sends some to the palace every year. The emperor has mentioned it twice, saying that the grapes in Lord Gu's mansion are the only ones in the capital."
He was not familiar with Lord Gu and had never eaten it, and he didn't even know that his second brother's house also had it. At this moment, he felt a little sour in his heart because of the closeness between Tang Mo and Tang Yong.
Tang Mo curiously asked if the grapes from Lord Gu's house were tastier. Xin An sat down with the plate in his hand, nodding as he ate. "My cousin's wife said her grape vines were planted by Lord Gu himself, but no matter how they were raised, these grapes were not as good as those grown by Lord Gu. She asked me to bring back two bunches when I return to the Gu family so that I can taste the difference."
"Remember to save some for me when the time comes."
"good."
When Tang Rong arrived, he saw the warm scene in the room. A family of four was sitting together, each holding a plate with grapes, talking and laughing while eating grapes. It could be said that this stimulated him greatly, and he was stunned for a moment.
Tang Mo greeted him with a smile, "Brother, you came at the right time. I just sent some grapes from my second uncle's house, and I left two bunches for you and my sister-in-law."
Seeing Tang Rong's betrayed expression, Tang Mo felt very happy. If being close to the old man could stimulate him, he didn't mind showing more affection between father and son with the old man.
These grapes arrived just in time.
Tang Rong bowed and greeted everyone, then hesitated to speak. Wang said kindly, "But is there something you want to tell your father?"
Tang Rong came here to show his presence, just to let his father know that he was working hard, but it was difficult to say it out loud, so he said: "There are some things I want to ask my father."
Wang smiled and said to Tang Gang: "Since it is a serious matter, why not go to the study to discuss it."
"Shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Tang Gang nodded, and Wang asked someone to invite Tao Yiran over.
As soon as the father and son left, Tang Mo started laughing. "See that expression? It's like his father let me steal it, which makes me want to laugh."
Wang shook her head helplessly, "You are not a decent person."
"He has flaws, but he also has strengths. You should look at his strengths. He's just had bad luck recently."
Tang Mo nodded with a smile, "I know his abilities, and I didn't underestimate him."

In the study, Tang Rong behaved more than ever like a prince who was capable of inheriting the title. He spoke about the Ministry of Rites with reason and logic, and had a detailed plan for what he would do after entering the Ministry. Tang Gang, who had been slightly disappointed with him recently, was very pleased.
"Because my second brother is not doing so well in the Northern Army, I would like to ask you to find a suitable time to host a banquet for Commander Liao of the Northern Army to make up for the previous incident and let my second brother feel more relaxed."
"My son is also going to visit his good friends and ask the people in the Beiya Army to take good care of my second brother."
Who can say that he is not a good brother who is tolerant and considerate of his brothers? Tang Gang smiled and patted his arm, "I will take care of your second brother's affairs. You just need to work hard and gain a foothold in the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible."
This son fulfilled all his fantasies about his eldest son.
The father and son have a deep affection for each other. Tang Rong mocked himself in his heart for being so paranoid that he was actually afraid of Tang Mo for a moment.
Tao Yiran arrived late. When she arrived, everyone had already sat down. She looked even more delicate in a moonlight white dress. A white jade hairpin on her head added to her elegance. Tang Gang frowned. His mansion could not be said to be at its peak, but it was a sign of prosperity as the old marquis still had some influence and there was a successor. Dressing like this was simply asking for bad luck.
Tang Rong stood up and supported her, then carefully helped her sit down. Originally a husband who loved his wife, his attitude changed in Tang Gang's eyes. He felt that his son was good in every way except that he could not handle the affairs of the inner courtyard.
Wang had no bad intentions. She was a mother-in-law, and not torturing her daughter-in-law was a sign of her kindness. She said to everyone, "Now that everyone is here, let's start eating."
Tang Gang was the first to pick up a bite of food, and then everyone else started to eat. No one made a sound during the whole process, and after the meal, they did not digest the food together, but left on their own.
Tang Gang sat there without moving, and waited for everyone to leave before he said to Wang, "The eldest brother's wife is not a good person. You should give her some advice when you have time."
Wang sat down to drink tea, and after putting down the teacup, she said, "If it was the second son's wife, I, as the mother-in-law, would have something to say, pointed out her mistakes, and scolded her."
"But if the eldest daughter-in-law fails, I, as the stepmother-in-law, will be considered unkind. You have seen how she has been getting weaker and weaker day by day, and she said she would come to pay her respects to me tomorrow morning. If she faints in front of me, I will be regarded as a wicked mother-in-law who tortures her daughter-in-law. How will I explain this to the Tao family?"
