Chapter 436 Tang Gang: The Second is Not as Caring as the First
The news about the Xin family has spread to all the families in Beijing. Even though some families are very jealous, they still have to be polite to Xin Anduo because of the change in the Xin family's status.
The Xin family is wealthy and favored by the emperor, so even the Marquis's Mansion must adjust the way the two families get along.
"Has there been any invitation from the Second Prince's Mansion?"
When the Second Prince's wife gave birth, Xin An ordered someone to send a special gift after he came back.
“Not yet.”
Cui Ping said, "Mrs. Xu received a gift from the Second Young Master's wife, and she will come to visit Madam this morning with Mrs. Xu."
It would be better for the Xu family to come forward than for the Second Prince's Mansion to do so, and Xin An would also be more willing to talk to Madam Xu. "In that case, there will be no other arrangements for tomorrow morning."
After lunch, he was taking a nap when someone came to the palace. The aunt beside the queen came to invite Xin An to the palace. As soon as Xin An left, Tang Gang got the news, "Why would the queen invite the second son's wife to the palace alone?"
Wang, who was now in good spirits, kindly explained to him, "Your Highness may not know that the little baby that the second son's wife brought back from Huaijiang was actually the lost son of Princess Yong'an. The second son personally brought his wife and the child into the palace. The emperor personally saw them and confirmed their identity."
Tang Gang, who had just recovered, was shocked. Sure enough, that child was not an ordinary person!
"When did the second son's wife find out, and why didn't she tell me first?"
It was his mistake. He had long suspected the child. If it was an ordinary child, why would his second wife take care of him personally and allow him to go back in the same car?
Could it be that the Xin family already knew about this? Countless doubts instantly occurred to him, but each one made him extremely regretful. What a great contribution that was? It would be wasted if he gave it to the Xin family!
"The second brother found out the day I came back from Huaijiang. I wanted to talk to the Marquis at that time, but unfortunately the Marquis was in a coma."
Wang defended Xin An and put the blame on Tang Mo. It was enough for the couple to have one of them hated by this father.
"Who knew that my in-laws would be so lucky that a child they picked up on the street turned out to be the princess's son."
Seeing Tang Gang's livid face, she was in a very good mood and continued to stimulate Tang Gang, "The emperor rewarded my father-in-law on the spot. He is now a fifth-rank official, and my mother-in-law has also received the imperial decree of peace. In this way, the Xin family is also a family of status, no longer a merchant."
"When the Marquis gets better, we need to think about how to get along with the Xin family in the future. I'm afraid the previous rules are no longer suitable."
How does the saying go?
Your own failure is terrible, but your companions' success is even more worrying.
This is what Tang Gang is feeling at the moment.
There was once an opportunity to make a contribution right in front of him, but he did not notice it carefully. He regretted it until he realized what he had lost. Such a great contribution slipped away when he was unconscious due to illness. One can imagine how sad and frustrated he felt.
Not only did he not get any credit, but he also further lost control over the Xin family. Xin Kuan had never agreed to the annual tribute of 200,000 taels of silver. Now that his status has changed, he is afraid that he will not be able to keep the original amount. He really lost both his wife and his army. He couldn't help but blame Tang Mo in his heart. He was really not as considerate as the eldest brother. If he knew, he should have told him. He would have entered the palace even if he was sick.
"The second one is quite fast."
He doesn't think about him at all and is quick to take credit for any achievement he makes. He is cunning and selfish.
"It's not okay to be slow."
Wang got angry when she saw his expression. She said that the child had been brought back by Xin An, and there were no secrets in the capital. "My Lord, you haven't taken a close look at the child, have you? Those who have seen Princess Yong An and Zhang Sanlang all said that the child takes after his parents, and his features are very similar to those of the princess. If you don't send him to the emperor sooner, and someone else gets there first, wouldn't that be making things difficult for others?"
Wang's words were suggestive, and Tang Gang regretted it even more, because he knew what Zhang Sanlang looked like when he was a child. He knew who that boy looked like, and he just couldn't remember who it was. Now that he thought about it again, weren't they cast in the same mold?
"Didn't the second brother take the opportunity to ask for some benefits?"
"What did the Marquis say? What does this have to do with the Second Brother?"
Wang's expression was indifferent. "The child was picked up by his brother-in-law, and he also eats Xin's food. He was brought back to the capital by the second son's wife. It's impossible for the second son to share the credit of his father-in-law just because he helped send the child to the emperor, right?"
"Is he still a human being?"
She was telling the truth. Tang Gang just felt that he was having difficulty breathing at the moment. Tang Rong needed money everywhere in Songyang County, and he also had to visit various families in the capital. What he had to seize now was the task of charity donations. He had to get better as soon as possible.
"Where's the second one?"
"I'm on errand."
After Wang came back, she also learned about the situation in the capital, and she felt even more disappointed with Tang Gang. In every family, a father protects his son, and it was his son who was pushed back by his own father to ward off disaster.
How cold-hearted and cruel.
"My Lord, did you know that the capital would be in such a mess?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wang said angrily, "You can let the second son come back alone without worrying about him being young and inexperienced and being tricked by others."
"He and Liao Zhi are so close that they are almost like brothers. Who could possibly plot against him?"
Tang Gang was both sour and angry. Wang sneered, "How did Commander Liao treat him? How did his elder brother treat him? Although the Marquis is old, his eyes are clear. He should not be unable to see it, right?"
“When people get along with each other, they should always leave some room for each other and give people some hope.”
Tang Gang couldn't convince Wang and didn't want to continue to dwell on the matter. He asked Tang Jun and his wife what they were doing and what their plans were after coming to the capital. He also said that he wanted to meet Tang Yong. It was becoming increasingly difficult to get the Xin family's money, so he planned to support his own family.
Wang did not hide anything from him. After telling him everything he wanted to know, she stood up and said, "Your Majesty, your health is the most important thing. Don't think about other things for now. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."
As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw some concubines coming with soup. They bowed to her carefully when they saw her. Wang ignored them and asked someone to help the concubines. Then she asked Pingqiu to pack a box of gifts and take it to the Wang family. Her nephew had passed the high school entrance examination, so as an aunt, she had to show some appreciation.
At this time, Xin An was already standing in front of the Queen. Having seen her so many times, she was not so scared or awkward anymore. She could answer the Queen's questions calmly. Zhang Yanrui was standing next to the Queen, and he did not look very happy.
"My parents are all well at home. I will be so happy when I learn about the emperor's Enshang in a few days. This great joy is all because of the young master. I don't know how to thank the young master and the emperor."
The Queen smiled and said, "You are just too polite. Finding this child is equivalent to saving Yongan's life. It can also allow the Prince Consort to fight the enemy with peace of mind. Your father and brother have made great contributions."
"The Xin family deserves the emperor's favor."
Xin An thanked her again, and the queen said that everything came back to life after the spring, and the various diseases that came with it also came back. "Thanks to the medicinal herbs your father sent before, otherwise there would be many poor people who would not be helped."
"I haven't told you yet. Qianjintang used to provide free medical services to the people, and the medicine was also provided free of charge. Starting this year, we will also charge some money depending on the situation. For those who really don't have money, we will ask them to help do what they can."
