son-in-law

Chapter 2 Tang Zhen Tang Ning Tranquil Little Huan
Tang Zhen walked out of the study room, followed by some secretary Lang and several armored followers:

"Jinfeng, the chariot and horses are tired."

"According to Da Sima Hongfu, the journey is safe and sound."

"sit."

"Thank you for sitting down."

Tang Zhen is not very old, he is only 30 years old this year.He was originally the eighteenth son of the Tang Sect, and he had seventeen older brothers and fourteen older sisters.There is only one younger sister behind her, and that is Tang Linger.Of course, this is a big family ranking, including several children of Tang Ning, the second master of the Tang family, and Tang Xian, the third master.

Originally, Tang Zhen was not the most suitable heir of the Tang clan, but because his father Tang Qiong was in his 80s, he closed his eyes, so the two outstanding younger generations of the next generation did not live the old man.

The eldest son Tang Gan and the second son Tang Kun, known as the "Twins of Qiankun", are really both civil and military, celebrities of the Liang Dynasty.

It's a pity that life is short, so don't mention it.

Apart from the "Twins of Heaven and Earth", Tang Zhen is the most promising son and nephew of the Tang family, and it is said that he has the demeanor of Tang Qiong when he was young.That's why the title was passed on to him.Now that Tang Qiong had passed away, only the second elder Tang Ning was left in the family. As long as Tang Ning died, Tang Zhen would be able to fully control all the resources of the Tang clan's clan.

However, after all, Tang Ning was still alive at this time. This old man who had served as Minister of the Ministry of War was very stubborn. He held part of the military power and financial power, but he refused to hand it over.Maybe the old man was a little angry.In the battle for the successor of the two generations of powerful families, he himself failed, and his son also failed.then……

"I think you understand the situation of our Tang family. The second uncle refuses to hand over the military power. At home, he even competes with me for economic and financial power. He wants to control me through financial power. How can I let him control it, so I have to Fighting with him. It's a pity that I am surrounded by reckless people who know how to fight and don't know how to manage. Only one Tang Yun can help me, but he is only one person after all, he can't be busy. Later Ling'er grew up, even though she was a daughter, But she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, with a good vision. With her help, industries such as cotton yarn and papermaking are booming. Because of this, I don't want her to leave me. I will wrong you to marry into our family. But don't worry, I won't force it You change your surname. Your children don't ask to change their surname either. In this way, they will not disappoint the gentleman's agreement between my father and Uncle Chang Sheng."

Su Yu felt more at ease: "Thank you Da Sima for taking care of me."

"Don't thank me, I have one more condition."

"please say."

"The wedding will be postponed for a while. Maybe a few months, maybe a few years."

Su Yu thought to himself: Could it be that we have to wait until the day when Second Master Tangning dies?
In other words, this still does not agree with the marriage.

So, what do you mean by those nice words just now?
Since you are not married, where will you have children?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and he frowned slightly.

Tang Zhen smiled: "At home, you don't have to call me so politely. From now on, you can call me Brother Eighteen."

"Oh..." Su Yu thought for a while and asked, "What disease does Ling'er have, so dangerous?"

"I'm not sick." Tang Zhen said lightly, "I just showed it to Xifu. My original plan was that you would get married immediately when you came, and then you would send a funeral directly and say that Ling'er had passed away. And would you like to stay in Tang Dynasty?" Mansion, completely depends on your personal wishes. But now I have changed my mind, then you can only stay first. From now on, you will live in the East Mansion, and all living expenses will be borne by Tian Jing. Oh, she is Tian Jing, my study maid. "

"Oh." Su Yu glanced at the brocade-clothed maid again.

Tang Zhen knocked on the coffee table habitually, drawing Su Yu's gaze back: "The reason why I changed my plan is because my second uncle already knew the truth and told the Queen Mother. It's meaningless for me to act again under such circumstances. But you I have finished the wedding with Ling'er for you, and now you are husband and wife. I know it's not fair to you. So you can find a girl who looks good in Qinghuafang and take it as a pawn in the room. I'm a concubine. As long as it's not someone from my second uncle, I can make the decision."

It was so...

Some doubts in Su Yu's heart were resolved, but at this time his mood was very complicated.

As soon as Tang Zhen finished speaking, a secretary came over behind him and said in a low voice: "Master, the time has come." After a short pause, he observed his words and expressions, and said cautiously: "If you don't leave, I'm afraid it will be delayed."

During a very brief meeting, Tang Zhen seemed to have something to say, but someone around him reminded him that the time was up.Then Tang Zhen put on long fur and left the study, it is said that he was going to meet the emperor to discuss important military affairs.

For a person of his status, time is always squeezed out.Who to meet with and how long to talk with are all planned, and someone is always by your side to remind you.There are several servants in the family who are in charge of watching the stone sundial.When I met Su Yu this time, there was a secretary beside him holding an hourglass in his hand.

After Tang Zhen left, only Su Yu and Jing Jing were left in the room.

Tian Jing was sitting on the mat with her legs together, looking like an island girl.Su Yu has never been used to this sitting posture, and always feels like he is kneeling.However, Liang Chao's man didn't have to sit like her, which was a relief.

Su Yu didn't speak, and she didn't say a word of nonsense, she looked calm and composed, and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart: "This woman is neither humble nor overbearing, she is soft and strong... When Tang Zhen mentioned Tang Ling'er just now, she seemed to have used this word too. This woman looks quite extraordinary.

The young master she was referring to was Tang Zhen.Through different titles, it is basically possible to judge when this person followed Tang Zhen.The maidservant in Jinyi has been with Tang Zhen for a long time, at least not as short as Tang Qiong's death.It's not easy to change the address if you call him the son, and Tang Zhen won't correct it deliberately.For example, some dowry maids still call the bride "Miss" after they arrive at the in-law's house, but they don't change their name to Madam.I don't see my in-laws deliberately asking for changes.

Just now Tang Zhen said 'I've already finished the wedding for you and Ling'er', what is this called?

The groom hasn't come yet, what should we do?

Is someone else going to visit the bride instead of me? "

Su Yu had a lot to ask, but after thinking about it, he held back again. Since Tang Zhen had already made arrangements, it was best to go with the flow when he first came here, and not have too many ideas and questions.It would be best to wait for these issues to slowly surface.After all, even if you ask these questions, you can't change anything.Simply do not ask worth mentioning. "

After thinking about this, Su Yu smiled: "Is there any arrangement for my residence?"

Tian Jing nodded slightly: "Miss's maid will come to you and take you to the Miss's courtyard. In the future, if you have money to spend, you can come to me, or you can find Miss. If there is no extra cost, there will be [-] meetings every month." I will give you [-] yuan and get it from me. Don’t be surprised, my lord, the Tang family is also heavily in debt, after all, the war has just ended, and there are many places to spend money.”

"Oh."

Being a son-in-law, the Tang family would still pay her salary, which was unexpected.

About a quarter of an hour.A little girl with buns in a bun appeared in front of Su Yu, and she just walked in when Jing Jing left.

Su Yu watched Tranquility leave, and then his eyes fell on the little maid.

This little maid looks small and exquisite, with a shrewd face, a little shy when meeting her for the first time.

Judging by his appearance and demeanor, it is estimated that he will not be more than 15 years old.

Looking at the hands of the little maid, she doesn't need to do heavy work, and she is dressed quite well, it turned out to be a pink silk gauze skirt.

This must have been given to her by the young lady.

However, the Lantern Festival has just passed, and the weather is still very cold. Isn't it cold for her to bare her shoulders like this?

Just when Su Yu was thinking wildly, the servant girl Wan Fu said: "I have met my uncle, my maidservant's name is Zhu Huan [huán], you can just call me Xiao Huan."

Su Yu greeted him with a smile, and returned the salute with his hands crossed, quite solemnly.

Seeing Su Yu like this, Xiao Huan was stunned, and then deeply saluted: "My lord, don't be too polite, I can't bear it."

After all, for some reason, she laughed.

Su Yu felt that the little girl smiled innocently and cutely, so she moved closer.

Xiaohuan squinted her eyes and smiled, her face was like an apple and her eyes were like crescent moons.

It was only later that Su Yu found out that Xiao Huan was the one who visited Miss Tang's house on her behalf today, that's why she got such a nice set of clothes to wear.Just after the wedding, she stayed in the East Mansion to wait for Su Yu.But she felt cold, so she ran to eat melon seeds by the stove with the widowed Miss Ba.She didn't know that Su Yu entered the door.Later, the servant girl beside Tian Jing called her here.

Su Yu felt that Xiao Huan was a daredevil, and at the same time, there must be something about her that people like.

While walking, chatting.During the conversation, Su Yu found a problem, and asked Xiao Huan, why don't you call yourself Princess Tang Ling'er, but Miss?
Xiao Huan said that Tang Ling'er hated being called Princess Princess the most, because the Princesses of Anle in the Liang Dynasty had misbehavior, and our young lady didn't want to be called the same as them.Besides, when did the Tang family value the imperial seal?Except when going out to attend a ceremony, the lady doesn't need the title of princess.

Su Yu knew that the Tang family was tough enough, but he didn't expect it to be this tough.

And it is getting tougher from generation to generation, which is unavoidably worrying.

This is like a bowstring, is it pulled too tight?
Su Yu also discovered that the Tang family owed a huge amount at this time.The Luoyang bank has long since dared not lend money to the Tang family.I heard from Xiao Huan that Tang Zhen went to the Queen Mother for a loan a while ago, and had a fight with the Queen Mother.

At that time, Tang Zhen said some harsh words to the queen mother, but it is unknown to outsiders what exactly they said.

Xiaohuan guessed that the general meaning should be: If my Tang family's finances are dragged down, everyone will not be able to think about it.

Su Yu's heart shuddered.

At this time when Chang'an arrived in Huazhou, the 15 Shence troops of the Tang family were ready to move, as if responding to the situation in Luoyang.
