son-in-law

Chapter 242 Tong Xi'er

Cao Xiaobao said that Qing Chuixue's real name was Cao Zhongbao.

The empress thought it was funny, and asked him teasingly, do you have another elder brother named Cao Dabao?
Cao Xiaobao joked that Cao Dabao is actually the second brother, and the eldest brother is called Cao Jubao.

Hearing this, the queen's empress's crisp laughter came from the garden of Changqiu Palace.

Although Cao Yuzan can still laugh, she actually has a lot of troubles.Facing mountains of government documents all day long, he must punish those villains who caused unjust cases, take advantage of the situation to eliminate corrupt officials, dismiss mediocre officials, and arrange princelings to enter office.Take advantage of peace to develop national power and deter foreign countries.In private, it is necessary to stabilize the princelings and win over the powerful forces.

Now Empress Cao is facing two problems, one is the lack of capable people to help, and the other is the lack of funds to run the princelings.

On the other hand, the Prince Party, with Prince Geng's Mansion as the center, has no less than a hundred staff members who come and go every day.Zhao Zhun has the secret support of the chaebol, and he himself has the support of several major industries.In contrast, the princelings lack such a core force.It is obviously a bad policy to use treasury funds to run princelings, and Cao Yuzan does not intend to do that.

Cao Yuzan has been waiting for a chaebol to come out to help her, but so far no one has come to her.I thought that my uncle Cao Sheng would be my solid backing. If Cao Sheng could step forward, many things would be solved easily.It was Cao Yushan's original plan to run the princeling party with General Cao's mansion as the core.But now Cao Sheng thanked the guests behind closed doors and kept the princelings out, what should we do?

In late June, the weather is hot.

The princess of Chang'an is bored at home, doing a lot of handmade fabrics.I don't know what the princess is thinking, but recently I fell in love with sewing clothes, and they are all men's clothes.But the princess is good at finance, but not good at tailoring, wasting good fabrics and ruining one piece after another.As a result, Wang Xun threw one piece to the east and another piece to the west, so far away that he was afraid that someone would see him and make fun of the princess for his clumsiness.

"Hey, this one looks good."

After a few days of busy work, Tang Ling'er finally made a robe that looked fairly neat, and put it on her shoulders for a look.

Wang Xun looked coldly and didn't dare to compliment.

Princess Changmei turned her eyes wide and felt that she was still not satisfied. If she took it as a gift, she would probably be disgusted by others.

"Forget it, wrap it up." Tang Linger handed the clothes to Wang Xun.

Wang Xun wondered, if it was a county horse, what would he do with it?
Although Wang Xun didn't ask, Tang Ling'er could still see what she was thinking, so she said, "Take brother."

Wang Xun was speechless.

Women from rich families beat their children to learn female celebrities.But at that time, Tang Ling'er studied the art of intrigue all day long, so she never had time to practice small arts, so she never studied them seriously. When she was 12 years old, Tang Linger was envious when she saw other sisters sewing delicate objects to give away.So in private, I also learned how to make handicrafts from others.

But after finishing it, I also saw that it was ugly, so I was afraid that others would dislike it, so I only gave it to my brother Tang Zhen.Tang Zhen and Tang Linger are two siblings with the same father and mother, with a difference of 11 years.Princess Changxia died early, Tang Zhen loved his sister very much, and he would accept even the ugliest things he sent.As a result, I accumulated a lot of oddly shaped handicrafts in the box.

When Tang Zhen married his wife, Fan Shi, Mrs. Fan came to Tang Zhen's house, saw those strange things, and exclaimed "voodoo", this matter is still a big joke in the Tang residence until now.The girl's heart was hit hard, and since then Tang Ling'er has never made handicrafts again.

A few years later, the kit given to Su Yu was unprecedented.

Facing this robe now, Wang Xun was in a dilemma, thinking, if the Duke of the State wears this suit to go out, Fan's anger will definitely explode.

"Miss, this dress is made according to my son-in-law's stature. Is it not appropriate to send it to my father-in-law?"

"What's wrong? They're about the same size."

"Oh, miss. It's not good-looking at all. When we make clothes, the shoulders are the most important. As the saying goes, the left and right are no more than half a finger. But this one made by miss..."

"Don't worry about it, I'll let my brother put it on and have a look, but I didn't tell him to wear it out. Put it away quickly."

"Oh…"

Guogong Mansion.

As soon as Tang Zhengang came back, the study hall was full of people.Everyone held the number plate in their hands to find a seat and sat down, and there was no longer a long queue like before.Mention this matter, everyone praises quiet and clever.But Tian Jing was not greedy for merit, she only said that this was Su Yu's idea.But everyone continued to praise Tian Jing, only saying that ideas are ideas, execution is execution, and everyone has their own merits.

Facing these old fritters from the Tang Mansion, Jin Yi Maid Tian Jing has long been used to it.Talk and laugh with them.If you want to say that Tranquility is someone who can talk, she probably knows what the group of people who come to the study every day to do errands.

But there are always [-]% of the secrets that she doesn't know.Tang Zhen wouldn't let her know either.

At this time Su Yu was sitting in the study, discussing important matters with Tang Zhen.When Tang Zhen heard that Empress Cao had sent an olive branch, his face beamed with joy.Tang Zhen didn't care who was the emperor, but he still valued the taxation west of Tongguan.But he actually said something like this:

"Now both sides have come to me and offered almost the same conditions. Heh, in this way, no matter who becomes the emperor, we have decided on this benefit."

Su Yu considered this situation.However, Cao Yuzan's move is not too late, at least Tang Zhen has not expressed his support for the Prince's Party yet.At this juncture, Cao Yuzan was able to contact Tang Zhen and let him fall into the choice again, which was regarded as a redemption.Otherwise, if Cao Yuzan delays any longer, Tang Zhenke will run to the prince's party.

Tang Zhen was in a good mood, and told Su Yu that he had arranged five hundred strong people in the "vast" bamboo forest of Shou'an Paper Mill two days ago.After that, let these 500 people cut bamboo for you.Su Yu felt very pressured by this, but he couldn't say anything.

At this time Tang Ling'er came, and Wang Xun was holding a cloth bag in both hands behind him, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.Seeing that Su Yu was there, the master and slave hid in the back room of the study, so mysterious that even Tang Zhen didn't know what they were going to do, so he turned his head to look.

When Tang Linger came to her brother's study, it was like going to her own home. Others were calling the door, but she just knocked on the door and came in.

Tang Zhen turned his head and asked, "Ling'er, what do you want from me?"

Tang Linger said: "Don't worry, let's talk about it later."

Tang Zhen whispered to Su Yu: "Continue to go deep into the princelings, and you can tell Cao Yuzan that I will help her at the critical moment."

Su Yu whispered: "Understood."

Leaving the Duke's Mansion, Su Yu didn't know what Tang Linger was going to do. Seeing Wang Xun holding the cloth bag, maybe he wanted to give Tang Zhen something.

On the way back to the princess' mansion, Su Yu gave Xiaohuan money to buy sweet ice, and left behind Tongyu's fan.

As Xiao Huan walked away, Su Yu stretched out his hand to hold down the fan, and said in a harmonious voice, "Tong Yu, do you have a family?"

Tong Yu didn't know why, and said, "Yes."

"How many people are in the family, where are they?"

"Both my parents are here, as well as an older brother, a sister-in-law, and a younger sister, all of whom live in the suburban mountainous area."

Su Yu turned around: "How long has it been since you went home to see them?"

"Oh, it's time. I used to be an errand in the palace, so how can I visit my relatives. Even if I leave the palace, I have to stay in the imperial city. I can't walk half a step out of the imperial city."

"Do you miss them?"

"Why don't you want to..." As soon as the words came out, Tong Yu's tears rolled down, and she couldn't speak.

Su Yu smiled: "I will let you meet them tomorrow."

Needless to say, Tong Yu was grateful in her heart, for an eunuch, it was the most beautiful thing to be able to return to his hometown for a visit.Tong Yu only thought that Su Yu sent him a car to see him off, but he didn't expect the county matriarch to travel in person.He also bought a lot of gifts for Tong Yu. The sum of all kinds of gifts, big and small, cost as much as 20 yuan.

Tong Yu cried all the way.

When I came to a small village in the southern suburbs of the mountain, people from the village flocked to visit Tongjia's fence.Seeing the majestic appearance of Ma Jinyi in Dacheng County, he exclaimed that he was as handsome as a fairy.Not to mention the county horse master, let's look at the county horse's maids, all of whom are silk, silk, white and tender jade.Not to mention this person, but look at the horse-drawn carriage of the county magistrate, it is so luxurious.Look at the tall white horse, striding forward, the horse looks like a dragon, pedaling and neighing deafeningly.

I saw Sister Tong Yu, who was only 12 years old, with a big head and a small body, dry and thin, and severely malnourished.But the little girl's big eyes are crystal clear, she can speak well, she is well-behaved and cute.

Su Yu asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

"My name is Tong Xi. Everyone calls me Xiao Zhe and Tong Xi'er."

"Can you read?"

"Daddy taught me that I could know a thousand words when I was ten years old."

Tong Yu's mother was consumptive and could not do heavy work.My father had studied for several years and worked as a schoolteacher in the village, but during the ten years of the Anti-Japanese War, everyone had problems eating, so how could he have the heart to let his children go to school.And rich people only hire teachers, and look down on him, a scholar who can't even pass the exam.Therefore, the Tong family was impoverished.Now all rely on the eldest son and daughter-in-law to make a living for the landlord's family, and life is very difficult.

Calling the pavilion chief, Su Yu bought three acres of land and half a mulberry mountain for the Tong family, spending more than two million yuan.The children of the Tong family were moved to tears.

When leaving Tong's house, all the presents in the car were emptied, but there was an extra person on the seat.From then on, Tong Xi became the servant girl of Dacheng County Ma.Su Yu didn't ask for her contract of prostitution either, he just said that if he likes it, he will stay, if he doesn't like it, he will leave, so as not to delay the girl's self-seeking.When Xianglin heard about it, he was very envious.

In order to prevent the envy of the villain, he also left some money for Tong's family and asked his family to hold a big banquet to eliminate the villain's grievances.

It was already late at night when I returned to the princess' mansion, and while there was no one around, Tong Yu knelt down in front of Su Yu: "The county matriarch is so kind, Tong Yu has nothing to repay. Tong Yu is not stupid, she knows that the county matriarch must have important arrangements. Before, Tong Yu wanted to work for the county matriarch, but he was worried that the county matriarch would not trust Tong Yu. Now that his sister is by the county matriarch's side, Tong Yu is bold enough to ask for things, and dare not betray him under any circumstances."

Su Yu nodded: "Tong Yu is sensible. But don't worry, even if something happens, I won't be cruel to your family. I just hope that you can minimize the harm, and you are doing me a favor."
