Chapter 610 Extra 4
After deciding to take over the guards from the Marquis' Mansion, Tang Mo went to the new emperor early the next morning.
He didn't hide it, there was nothing worth hiding, "My father handed all the accounts of the Marquis' Mansion to me, and I found that the Marquis' Mansion has been in serious deficit over the years. Among the more than 100 people left by my grandfather, some are old and some are injured, and there are still about 100 people who can be used. There are not many things to do in the Marquis' Mansion, and it is really a burden to support them. That's why I thought of opening a martial arts school according to their strengths. It would be better if it can be self-sufficient, but even if it can't, it can reduce a lot of expenses."
The new emperor didn't take the more than 100 people in the Marquis' Mansion seriously, and he had no objection when he saw that Tang Mo was about to give up his martial arts. However, he didn't believe Tang Mo's words about money being tight, "How dare you say that to me?"
Tang Mo was ashamed, "My wife is not short of money, but that is her dowry, I..."
“Hahaha~~~”
The emperor laughed and said, "Never mind. I know your difficulties. It's just opening a few martial arts schools. You can decide on this small matter yourself."
The new emperor was very clear about the things in the Marquis' Mansion. He knew that Tang Mo was young and not as thick-skinned as the old man, and was unwilling to use his wife's dowry. "The queen has mentioned your wife several times. Why hasn't she come to the palace recently?"
"She wanted to come because she had severe morning sickness and was afraid of being disrespectful in front of the Queen."
The new emperor raised his eyes and asked, "Did your wife also vomit when she was pregnant with your two sons?"
Tang Mo, the new emperor, still cares about this? "No, I didn't vomit, and my appetite is pretty good. They say that this time I'm pregnant with a girl, so I have to be more delicate."
The new emperor straightened his back immediately. The queen was also pregnant, but she had no reaction and her appetite was good. Everyone said it might be a son.
He has no son yet, but those old guys in the court are already urging him to expand his harem, really treating him as a stud. If the queen can give birth to a son, those old guys should shut up.
Tang Mo had guessed that the queen might be pregnant, but he didn't say anything and pretended not to know. The new emperor talked about his job again. Now he is already a marquis, and it is not appropriate for him to stay in his current position. "Go to the Ministry of War and gain more experience."
"It just so happens that the armory is short of people, you go ahead and take over."
Tang Mo cupped his hands, "I will obey your orders."
After leaving the palace, he went directly to the Ministry of War, said hello and returned to Jingzhao Prefecture. When he returned to the prefecture, it was dark.
"The second master of Huaijiang has arrived and is talking to his wife."
With Tang Mo as the head of the family, Xin An naturally became a lady from a young lady, Wang was promoted to an old lady, and the old lady became a grand lady, becoming more and more honorable.
After Xin Chang and his son returned from Nanluo, the court did not send any officials, but only registered them. If there was any need, the court would contact them.
The father and son were not disappointed, mainly because they made too much money and gained enough benefits during the trip to Nanluo. Moreover, after working with people from the court for a while, they felt that they were not suitable for the job and still liked the feeling of making money.
"When did Second Uncle come?"
Before he even entered the room, he heard the people in the room talking excitedly. Xin Chang stood up to greet him, but he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, "How can I let my second uncle greet me? We are family, so there is no need to be polite."
Xin An was in good condition today. He only vomited once, and he was in better spirits than usual. "My second uncle just said that the family is going to have a new baby. My sister-in-law is pregnant and will give birth this winter."
"That's a happy event. I'll send him a gift later. Brother Huan is going to be a father too."
The old lady of the Zhou family passed away the year before last. Although Zhou Yutan got married, she had been in mourning for her grandmother for half a year. Now she is at a very suitable age to get pregnant. Xin An smiled happily. Although the Xin family has no throne to inherit, they have a huge family business to manage. Her parents are anxious to have a grandson.
"By the way, my second uncle also said that several students sponsored by our family's clan school went to the capital to take the imperial examination this year, and two of them made the list, which is also a happy event."
Xin Chang was very satisfied. Although he was not raised by the Xin family, he was still favored by the Xin family, so he thought this was the right step.
Tang Mo asked if they needed his help, Xin Chang shook his head, "They have already received favors from the Xin family. If they get your help again, the clan school will change, and it will also be a risk for you. You don't have to worry about it, just let them walk their own path."
"I didn't know you had inherited the title. I'll give you a gift later."
Xin Chang was so happy that his niece became a marquis' wife in just a short time. Their Xin family was once again prosperous.
Tang Mo said cheerfully, "Last time when I invited you to be crowned as the Crown Prince, my father-in-law sent a huge box of gifts. Inheriting the title is a matter of course. There is no need to make any more trouble. We are a family, so why should we be so formal?"
"Yes, yes. This is a great event. When your father-in-law finds out, he will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate."
"If you need anything from home in the future, just let me know."
He thought that since they were already sons-in-law, there was no need to be shy.
Tang Mo smiled and said, "There is one thing. My husband and I have received a lot of help from my father-in-law. I know that the family gives us dividends every year, and we get too much."
"From now on, we will save money on other things besides the New Year gifts during the New Year holidays."
The Xin family had been paying tribute to the Marquis' Mansion time and again. He didn't have the old man's thick skin, and he felt uncomfortable taking the money. He had thought about this a long time ago.
Xin Chang looked at Xin An, who said she didn't know anything about it. She looked at Tang Mo and said, "Really? That's not a small amount."
In the past few years, the Xin family has been active in the capital, and their business has grown bigger and bigger. Tang Mo is needed more often, so his father naturally gives a lot to the Marquis during the New Year, not including the subsidies he gives her on weekdays.
Tang Mo nodded with certainty, "I am the son-in-law of the Xin family. How can I take care of the Yue family and wait for my father-in-law to give me money? Besides, my second and third uncles have introduced me to many no-cost businesses, and I have made a lot of money."
"It's settled now. If you give me more, you'll be alienating me."
Xin Chang smiled and nodded, "Okay, we won't be hypocritical if that's the case, but if you really encounter any problems, you must tell us. As long as my family can help, I will definitely not hesitate."
From the Xin family's point of view, the tribute paid to the Marquis' Mansion every year was not much. It was not as much as the daily subsidies, and far less than the tributes from the merchants introduced to Tang Mo. But the nature of this matter was different, otherwise why would Tang Gang always treat them as slaves of the Marquis' Mansion.
It's good that this isn't happening anymore.
Xin Chang was very happy and insisted on inviting Tang Mo to dinner tonight. He also said that he had something to discuss with him. "Since I was here, your wife has vomited twice. Let her have a good rest. You should take care of the things outside."
Having said this, what else could Tang Mo say? The two of them happily went to drink.
Tang Gang next door was still waiting for Xin Chang to come and see him and pay his respects, but after waiting for a long time he found out that the person had left, and he pounded the bed in anger.
Manager Zhang sighed silently. He was so angry that he almost became paralyzed. Why was he still so angry?
He shook his head and went out. He decided to go and teach Lailai. Now Lailai was learning from him. When he had learned enough, he could resign and go home to retire. He should also live a good life for a few days.
As for the Marquis, you can only wish him good luck.
