Chapter 429: Yagyu Says He Wants to Go to the Palace to Complain
"Greet the Second Young Master."
Many opportunities were vacant in the court. Anyone who was well-informed could not sit still at such a good opportunity. Zhou Chengsong and Zhou Chengye, two sons of the Zhou family, approached Tang Mo as relatives of the Xin family.
The two brothers succeeded in capturing their elder brother Zhou Chengsong this time, and the news has been passed back to Huaijiang. They were waiting for an opportunity, but who knew it would come so suddenly.
After stating their purpose, Tang Mo invited them into his house. Tang Mo was a little surprised at their arrival. He originally thought that they would wait for Xin An to come back before visiting him.
"I have heard Madam mention your affairs. Since we are family, how can I not help you? Do you want to be sent abroad or stay in Beijing?"
The two brothers did not expect Tang Mo to be so easy to talk to. They guessed that the sister of the Xin family said a lot of good things for them. Zhou Chengsong stood up and bowed, "My uncle has been in office for many years. If it is feasible, I want to stay in the capital."
Being sent away is indeed more comfortable. A small county magistrate also has great power in the one and a half acres of land under his control. But if he has no support, his life will be like that. Their uncle is an example.
Although it is uncomfortable to stay in Beijing and you have to please everyone everywhere, there are also many opportunities.
The brothers have discussed the matter in detail.
"It's not easy to stay in Beijing. I'm afraid that my position and status will be poor, and I may have to sit on the bench for many years. I have to be able to endure loneliness."
What Tang Mo said was the truth. There were many powerful people in the capital. Even if one had a marquisate behind him, it would not be easy to have a smooth career.
"My brother and I have thought it through. If we can stay in Beijing, my brother can also stay in Beijing and find a college to study and wait for the next imperial examination."
"I know."
Tang Mo had too many things to do and didn't have time to sit and talk. "Do you have a place to stay?"
The brothers said they had been staying at the inn.
Tang Mo made the decision and asked them to move to the Xin family's house temporarily. "The inn is crowded and inconvenient. I will arrange for someone to take you there. Wait for news on what you said."
Zhou Chengye was full of doubts, "That's it?"
"What else?"
Zhou Chengye was embarrassed. Should he talk more about what benefits he would give them and what he wanted them to prepare?
Tang Mo stood up and said, "You should be aware of the recent situation. I am busy with work, but since I promised you, I will help. My wife is on her way back. I will see you later when she comes back."
The two brothers were relieved and stood up to say goodbye.
After Tang Mo went out, he rode his horse to Wang's house. Wang Shi was among the top three and was a disciple of the emperor, so he didn't need anyone's help. However, he still took the initiative to ask if he needed help.
"Cousin, please try to persuade my father. I've been so busy lately, but he insisted that I look for a girl."
Wang Shi has been very popular recently, and many dignitaries want to marry their daughters to him. Wang Mian was worried that his son's marriage would be threatened, so he thought of taking the initiative. However, he didn't expect that Wang Shi would refuse to agree.
Tang Mo asked with a smile, "It's time for you to get married, why are you resisting so much?"
"Do you have a girl you like?"
Wang Mian and Madam Wang looked over immediately, and Wang Shi blushed. "No, I just thought that the time is not right now, and I haven't started my job yet. The situation in the court is like this, so I think it's better to wait until things are more stable before talking about marriage."
"At present, each family is in a difficult situation. Who knows if the girl mentioned has other purposes?"
Tang Mo thought it made sense, and said to Wang Mian with a smile: "Uncle, why don't you wait another two months? Auntie can find a good girl first, and then talk about marriage after my cousin has adapted to it. Otherwise, he will be easily unstable, which will not be beneficial to his career."
Wang Mian nodded when he heard him say that. His family was very proud to have such a capable person. Not to mention his son's unstable state of mind, he himself was also very unstable and became arrogant.
Turning to Madam Wang, she said, "You watch first. My eldest sister will be back soon. I'll ask her to help me when the time comes. You have to take good care of this boy's wife. It affects the future of our family for the next three generations. We can't be impatient."
As Mrs. Wang nodded, Wang Shi breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Tang Mo to his study to discuss things.
Tang Gang and his entourage's carriage traveled on the road for another half a month and finally arrived in the suburbs of Beijing this evening, waiting to enter the city early tomorrow morning.
In the evening, Xin An sat opposite Liu Sheng again, "We are going into the city tomorrow, what do you want to do?"
"And let you down at the city gate?"
This guy ate and drank in her car all the way. He started out by carefully watching her expressions and later just lay on her lap to sleep. He was very bold and shameless.
If he is really the princess's son, the young master certainly won't be so thick-skinned. It must be the general of the Zhang family. Thinking of the big mouth of the young lady of the Zhang family, Liu Sheng lowered his head and pinched his fingers. His little face was full of entanglement. Xin An asked with a smile, "Do you want to go to the palace to see the emperor?"
"Let me ask you, is your mother Princess Yong'an?"
"Is your father the third son of the Zhang family?"
Liu Sheng subconsciously covered his mouth, "Did I tell you in my dream?"
Xin An held back her smile. Firstly, it was true. It was really a mistake that made her and the Xin family do good things. Secondly, this boy was really interesting. "That's what you said in your sleep."

Yagyu looked at him eagerly, "Will you do anything bad to me?"
Xin An pinched his face, "What do you mean it's bad for you?"
"You ate my food and used my things along the way, and I'm not good to you?"
Yagyu was immediately happy again. After all, he was just a six-year-old kid. How cunning could he be?
It's quite remarkable that he has been able to keep his secret until now.
"Then take me to the palace. My mother said she wants to file a complaint there."
"good."
Xin An agreed to his request. He had originally thought that he would deal with the matter as soon as he arrived in the capital. This kid was so attractive and it was obvious that he was not from an ordinary family. Tang Gang had asked him several times along the way and the look in his eyes seemed to be getting more and more strange when he looked at the kid. If he hadn't been lying down due to heart pain, he would have asked more questions.
"I will take you to the palace after we enter the city tomorrow, but you can't tell anyone else about this except me, understand?"
Then he stretched out his little finger and said, "Hook."
The big and the small made pinky promises and Xin An coaxed him to go to bed. It was late at night, but Tang Gang couldn't fall asleep with his eyes open. He had been receiving news from the capital in recent days, and he deliberately slowed down his return time in order to avoid the most chaotic time.
Now it is almost over, and my mind is full of what to do and how to do it when I return. I think of Tang Mo, then Tang Rong, and then the child beside Xin An.
Princess Yong'an's child is missing. His age is about the same as the one next to Xin'an. Although he can't recognize his appearance, he knows that the boy is born into a wealthy or noble family.
Is it really true?
If it is true, it would be a great achievement. If he can get this credit, he can ask the emperor to let Tang Rong come back before the end of the year on the grounds that the old lady is not in good health and cannot see her eldest grandson.
Letting him leave Beijing and suffer is ill-considered.
Wang on the side seemed to be asleep. Tang Gang glanced at him sideways and closed his eyes. After his breathing became steady, Wang opened her eyes and silently lifted his quilt. After waiting for a while, she touched his hand which was already cold, then she got up quietly and opened the window. After waiting for a while, she went to Xin An's bedroom.
