Chapter 434 The Emperor's Expectations for Tang Mo
"General Zhang entered the palace after hearing the news."
Tang Mo and Xin An talked about their visit to Zhang's house today, and said with emotion: "It's really unpredictable. Who could have expected that the princess's child could be lost and picked up by Brother Huan?"
He found this matter incredible.
"Why didn't I pick it up in my previous life?"
Xin An shook his head and said that maybe he picked it up, or maybe it was found by someone else, or maybe something else happened. "Previous events can only be used as a reference. After all, there are still differences."
"We can't just follow the old path and make plans for everything."
Chunyang came to serve her food, Xin An didn't want to move at all, but there were guests in the mansion whom she hadn't met yet, so no matter how tired she was, she had to go to entertain them.
In the front yard dining room, Tang Yu's family had already arrived. When Tang Jun and his wife saw Xin An, they wanted to greet him, but Xin An dodged them and said, "Cousin, please stop being polite. We are a family and don't need to be polite."
Tang Jun's wife's surname was Jin, and her given name was Feng. She was tall, half a head taller than Xin An, and had a bigger frame. She smiled at Xin An and said, "When we arrived in the capital, my mother said that my second brother's wife was an outstanding person. Not only were they good-looking, but they were also capable. I finally got to see them."
As soon as she spoke, her eyes and eyebrows became lively. It was obvious that she was an outgoing person. Xin An smiled and asked her to sit down. "Before leaving Beijing, I heard from my aunt that my cousin's wife was coming. Unfortunately, I had to go back to my parents' home and couldn't meet her in person. I came back today and wanted to see her earlier, but something happened. I met her now. My cousin's wife is really a straightforward person. I felt close to her as soon as I saw her."
"Second sister-in-law, you are really good at talking. I like you the same way. I like you the first time I see you. We should keep in touch with each other in the future."
Jin Feng enthusiastically pulled Xin An, who smiled and nodded, saying that they would all live in the mansion and they would be able to see each other every day in the future. "I feel that my life has been very happy since my three sisters came to the mansion. I will be even happier when my cousin's wife comes with me."
"We have already chosen the house."
Xin An was a little surprised by Jin Feng's words, "Why, you don't live in the mansion anymore?"
"It's fine to buy the house, but you don't have to live there. There are not many people in the mansion, so my cousin and his wife can just live in the mansion."
Zhao said, "After your cousin and his wife arrived in Beijing, they started looking for a house. A few days ago, they finally found one. It's on Yinghui Street, not far from the Marquis's Mansion. It's a large house with three entrances. Although it's a bit old, it's very nice if it's well restored. The house is well-proportioned and has a large garden. It's rare to see one. We have to thank Manager Fang of the Xin family for this. He got the news first. If he had been a step later, he wouldn't have been able to buy it."
Wanyuanhang is on Yinghui Street, and Fangda knows that it is not difficult to find houses for sale on the street.
Jin Feng said, "Manager Fang also introduced me to a master who is going to renovate the house. He is working on the renovation plan these past two days and it should be ready by the end of the month. The house is not far from the Marquis's Mansion, so it will be convenient for us to travel back and forth in the future."
Although it's nice to live in the marquis's mansion, and although they say they are one family, after all, they haven't had much contact for many years, so it's somewhat inappropriate to live there.
They are just borrowing the Marquis's mansion, but they also have to live in their own house and be the master of their own house.
Xin An didn't say much. Even if she wanted to keep him, it wasn't her who did it, so her attempts to keep him wouldn't count.
"Hurry up and start eating. The food will get cold soon. I'll prepare the table when mom and dad are ready. We can have a good time together as a family."
"My aunt and cousin's wife have been working hard these days to help with the chores."
Zhao knew that Xin An was good at talking and doing things. She was generous, considerate and willing to give people some face. After Jin Feng heard her say that, she truly felt it and felt less restrained.
After his wife came home, Tang Mo changed his usual habit and drank and chatted with Tang Yu and his son. He became very talkative. Tang Jun was quite curious and asked about Tang Mo's changes after dinner. Zhao said, "I only knew that the second boy was unreliable and calculating. After meeting people in the Marquis' Mansion and interacting with them for a long time, I realized that this was not the case. He is also an open and thoughtful person."
"It was one thing that he was busy with errands earlier, but more importantly, his wife was not here. Without his wife, the mansion was just a place for him to wash and rest, so he came and went in a hurry."
Jin Feng said, "My second brother's wife is back. My second brother is in a different mood now. He was smiling throughout the meal."
Tang Jun still felt that something was wrong. After returning to the courtyard and closing the door, Zhao Shi told him about Tang Gang's partiality. "No one needs to tell anyone about this. Anyone with eyes can see it. You just need to know about this. We can't interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."
Jin Feng sighed, but didn't say anything.
Hard to say.
At this time in the palace, the emperor, who had just washed up, sat on the edge of the bed and listened to Eunuch Zhao talking about the Tang family.
He already knew about what happened to Tang Gang and his son in Huaijiang, and Liao Zhi had also come to the palace to mention it in person. However, Tang Gang's memorial did not reflect that fact. He took all the credit for himself. When he was still on his way back to Beijing, some people in the court were already speaking for him, saying that he had worked hard and made great contributions, and that he deserved to be rewarded for his hard work and so on.
It is not uncommon for someone to take credit for something, but it is the first time for him, as an emperor, to see someone not leaving any credit to his son.
"Who do you think Tang Gang is?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
There was no joy in the emperor's voice. Eunuch Zhao knew what the emperor wanted to hear and bowed to answer, "The Marquis is a kind father, and he loves the prince especially."
The emperor sneered, "You will add color to him. Even if you are a kind father, you are only a kind father to Tang Rong."
It would be fine if Tang Rong was a good material, but he is all show and no substance. The old marquis will really give him a hard time.
"That's a fool."
Tang Gang looks honest, but he is actually cunning. He knows how to protect himself. He will step out when there is an opportunity to make contributions, but will shrink back when the situation is not right. He has not made any major mistakes over the years, so naturally he has not made any contributions.
The Huaijiang charity fundraising can barely be counted towards his number.
He originally wanted him to be responsible for charity fundraising elsewhere, but now it seems that the emperor took a deep breath and had high hopes for Tang Mo. He respected the old marquis, so naturally he hoped that the marquis's mansion could maintain the old marquis's glory and be loyal to the court.
I hope Tang Mo won't let him down.
Tang Mo, who he had high hopes for, had already gone to bed with Xin An. One of them had not had a good rest since returning to Beijing; the other had been busy for half a day after a long journey and was extremely tired, and fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed.
Wang, who had slept for half a day, woke up in the middle of the night and went to see Tang Gang while wearing clothes. In order to let Tang Gang have a good rest, the court doctor followed Wang's wishes and added more sleeping pills to his medicine, so Tang Gang slept very soundly at this moment.
Wang just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him. Her mind was full of the past, how she happily married into the Marquis's Mansion, how she treated Tang Rong as her own son, served her parents-in-law, and managed this huge Marquis's Mansion. The longer she thought about it, the more boring it seemed to her. She didn't know how long it had been before she slowly stood up and once again lifted the quilt covering Tang Gang's chest before leaving. (End of this chapter)
