Chapter 451 What Right Does He Have to Be Angry
"Madam, several stewards in the mansion have sent gifts these past two days. Would you like to accept them?"
Xin An was in charge of everything, and the people below him became very interested and were eager to curry favor with him.
Xin An put down the bird's nest bowl in his hand and said, "Leave everything behind. Tell them to work hard. Inform Liu Chang and tell him that the time has come."
When she came back, she warned those stewards, and many of them came to complain secretly. After waiting for so many days, she finally got the news she deserved. The two stewards left by Tang Rong had not only taken advantage of a lot of benefits in the mansion, but also done a lot of work as spies and errand runners. It is said that a new official will do three things when he takes office, so she started with them.
Chunlu got to work while Xinan leaned on the beauty couch with his eyes closed, thinking about what to do next.
After returning from Huaijiang this time, many things have been exposed. It is no longer possible for her and Tang Mo to hide and seek benefits as before. Tang Gang cannot stay sick all the time, and he must be allowed to fight in the court to stabilize the situation and create more opportunities for Tang Mo.
But once he goes to court, he will know that the credit he has brought back from the Huai River is almost gone, and the next good job will not fall on him. He is not a fool and will soon target Tang Mo.
The old lady didn't know what her attitude would be in the future, and the time left for the couple was running out.
Tang Mo came back very late tonight, still smelling of alcohol. He said happily that he was drinking with Zhao Chang again tonight, and Yan Shimao and others were also drinking with him. "Brother Shimao's eyes were red with excitement when he learned that he was drinking with Zhao Chang. You haven't seen how excited he was tonight. It's a bit flattering."
How can a noble family compare to a prince's mansion? In the eyes of the prince, the marquis and the uncle are probably the same as ordinary officials. "But we are not at that level yet, so we can't understand that feeling. It's just like ordinary people think that we have to use golden bowls to eat in the marquis' mansion. But tonight Zhao Chang talked to me about the donation again. I think the Prince Jin's mansion is also thinking about it."
"Our goal now is to promote Brother Huan. By the way, the job of Zhou Chengsong from the Zhou family has been confirmed. It was with the help of Brother Liu that he stayed in Beijing and is still in the Ministry of Personnel. Although it is the lowest position in the Ministry of Personnel, it is also unexpected."
"Zhou Chengsong should come to see you in the next two days. He should know what to give as a gift. Brother Liu is waiting to save up some private money, so the Liu family will have to trouble you to come over later."
This is really a pleasant surprise. Xin An said, "I have told him that he is not a pedantic person."
After she came back from Huaijiang, the two Zhou brothers asked Aunt Wang to say that they wanted to meet her. The Zhou family and the Xin family were relatives, so Xin An naturally wanted to meet her. At that time, Zhou Chengsong stated his purpose and had already sent gifts.
"This is a happy event for the Zhou family. I wonder if my father will be angry when he finds out."
"What right does he have to be angry?"
Tang Mo snorted twice, "When I begged him for help, he was so unreasonable, with a lot of conditions, and asked for 200,000 yuan a year. I don't know how big a dream he had. I went to find Brother Liu, but he didn't ask for anything at all, just asked me to wait for news. This is the kind of person we should be with."
"Even if the old man knows, so what? He passed the exam properly. Can't the Ministry of Personnel take a liking to him?"
"Besides, does Brother Liu just eat whatever he wants? It would be embarrassing for him if the person he promoted was demoted. Doesn't that person have any power behind him?"
Xin An nodded, "Then I'll prepare a little more. I'm counting on their protection. How about twelve thousand taels? It sounds auspicious."
"Is that too much?"
Tang Yaoming spent several thousand taels at that time, but his relationship with Tang Mo was different, and the Zhou family was another matter. He couldn't let Liu Mingyuan think that they were ignorant, but Liu Mingyuan was afraid that he would not dare to accept more than ten thousand taels.
"How about this, I'll deliver it to Brother Liu. Four thousand taels will be enough, and you can give the remaining eight thousand taels to Sister Yan. If you are asked, just say that you prepared ten thousand taels and gave two thousand taels to Brother Liu. This is my idea. This way, even if it is seized, Brother Liu will still have two thousand taels left."
Xin An glanced sideways, "You men have so many tricks up your sleeve?"
"How can you call this a cunning person? He must have two in his pocket."
Tang Mo smiled flatteringly, "I'm different from them. I don't save any private money. Who made my wife treat me well?"
Xin An smiled and pushed him, "You're talking as if other people's wives are bad. I'll find some gifts and send them to the Liu family in person. I'll also set up a table and invite Sister Yan and Sister Lin to have a meal together."
"By the way, Brother Liu can even make some private money, but you don't have any?"
Tang Mo laughed, "Well, there is, but not much. I gave it all to me for food and drink. Haven't you seen me not take money out of the box for a long time?"
His belongings had been confiscated at some point in time.
"One thing is one thing. You can take whatever money you want from the box, but if you make some private money, you must give it back to me."
Xin An said, "Don't worry about my wealth. I'll be happy if you bring me one or two ounces of silver. I feel happy spending my own money, and I feel especially happy spending your money."
"It was a mistake. It was a mistake."
Tang Mo didn't expect this, so he thought she looked down on the small amount of money. "I'll give you all the money I earn in the future. I can also get some money from the old man. I can't let my wife be without money to spend."
Xin An laughed, "I feel more and more that we are not good people."

"Then what can we do? We can only work together as a gang."
The couple smiled a little like villains, but they were both very happy.
The next morning, Xin An went to see the managers as usual. Nothing new happened as usual. Just when Xin An was visiting the old lady, Nan Feng came and said that Liu Chang and two managers had had an argument and a fight. Now the three of them were looking for Xin An to seek justice with bruised faces.
Xin An frowned, very unhappy, "It's ridiculous, as the steward of the Marquis's Mansion, they actually took action in the mansion. No matter what the reason is, give them ten strokes of the cane first."
"Report back after the fight."
"yes."
Nanfeng turned and left. Wang came out and asked a few questions. When she heard the names of the two stewards, she knew what Xin An was going to do. She said, "The Marquis' Mansion has its own rules. You just took charge of the household affairs and they wanted to test you. You can't show your weakness. Liu Chang is my chambermaid. Apart from that, there is nothing special about him. If he makes a mistake, he will be severely punished."
"The Marquis' Mansion is in a time of trouble. I am exhausted and can only count on you. Please don't let mother down."
The old lady in the room heard their conversation clearly, but she didn't think anything was wrong. She just felt a little drowsy. After Wang came back, she said, "Thank you for your hard work these two days."
"What are you talking about, mother? Ever since I came to the mansion, mother has been very kind to me. I feel bad for going against mother's wishes. I feel even more regretful now that mother is sick. So I feel better if I can serve her."
Wang's eyes turned red, and the old lady's eyes also turned red. She took her hand and rubbed it, "It was mother who made things difficult for you. Mother is sorry for you."
Wang knew what the old lady wanted to hear, but she refused to give in. The old lady knew she was upset but she didn't care either. She just wanted to force her to nod. Wang pressed her eyelids with a handkerchief and said, "Mother, please stop talking. It's not good for your health. If mother can't recover, how can I live with it?"
