son-in-law

Chapter 5 First Meeting
The moon is like a silver plate, and the night is a bit cold.

The bare willow branches swayed with the wind, making rattling noises from time to time.

The flame the size of a soybean grain trembled on the bronze flying candlestick. According to Xiao Huan, each room can only receive a spoonful of lamp oil every three days, and try to save as much as possible.

Perhaps it was supported by a fresh energy, and there was no sleepiness even in the middle of the night.Sitting down by the window, holding an earring in his hand, he remembered some past events when he was a child.

At about the first hour of Haishi, a light suddenly flickered on the second floor opposite.

When Su Yu looked up, he happened to see the silhouette of a woman reflected on the window paper.

Looking at the girl's hair in a high bun, one knew that it wasn't the little maids with their heads tied up. If I guessed correctly, it should be Tang Linger who had returned.

For some reason, seeing this silhouette made Su Yu's heart skip a beat.I've heard that the fifteenth miss of the Tang family is good-looking, but I haven't met her yet. Just this silhouette makes people feel that the girl is graceful and graceful, and her gestures are full of dignity.

With the help of the maid, Tang Linger took off her coat, then sat down, said something to a maid, and the maid moved and came downstairs.

Not long after, Xiao Huan came to Su Yu's small courtyard with a lantern in her hand. Seeing that the window was open, she walked in quickly.

"Uncle, you haven't slept yet."

"Ah."

"Miss asked me to come and have a look. If my uncle is not asleep, I hope to meet you in the past."

"Oh."

While speaking, Su Yu raised his head and saw Tang Ling'er put on another coat.

Su Yu stood up: "Please, Xiao Huan, lead the way."

Xiao Huan chuckled: "When uncle is at home, is he also so polite when talking to servants?"

Su Yu nodded: "In my eyes, all living beings are equal."

The smile on Xiao Huan's face grew stronger: "It turns out that my uncle believes in Buddhism."

"No, I don't believe in anything, and I believe in everything."

This sentence confused Xiao Huan, she stopped talking and took the lead to walk ahead.Guoyuan frowned slightly on her small face, as if she was thinking about something.

Follow Xiao Huan to the main building, just past the threshold, you have to take off your boots.Xiao Huan squeezed out some incense powder from the incense box at the door, dusted it on Su Yu's front and back, and finally sprinkled it on her feet.He also said that the lady likes to be clean and can't smell any strange smell.

Su Yu sighed in his heart: I didn't expect that the "principal" lady who often went out to do errands was actually a clean freak.

"Miss, my uncle is here."

"Oh, come on."

Tang Linger spoke a little fast, and upon hearing it, she felt that this was a vigorous and resolute person.

Su Yu quickened his pace and came to the second floor.

Tang Ling'er did not put on the airs of a princess and wait for Su Yu to salute her. The moment she saw Su Yu, she stood up and saluted each other.It's just that her salute was slightly smaller, and her movements were half a beat slower.

After the ceremony, the two looked at each other.

Looking at each other, the eyes stayed for a few seconds.

Su Yu still wore the white jade Guanyin given to him by Tang Ling'er when he was young, but Tang Ling'er had no accessories on his snow-white neck.

"It's been a hard journey. I heard about the horse bandits in Guozhou, and I'm still worried about you."

"Because of the princess's concern, it's a bit of luck. I met a few horse bandits riding slow mules, and threw the money bag to them, which is considered to save my life."

"Listen to this, did you really encounter a horse bandit?"

"Ah."

Tang Ling'er scanned her eyes and saw that Su Yu was standing upright, so she knew he was fine, and waved her hand, "Please sit down."

"The princess first please."

There were no chairs, so the two sat down on a long table together.

"At home, there's no need to address the princess." Tang Ling'er had no expression on her face: "I ask the same for other people."

"Oh."

"I just heard from Lin Wan that you are proficient in numerology."

"I have dabbled a little, but I dare not say I am proficient."

"What else do you have?"

"Well..., I have a little knowledge of poetry, rhythm, painting, riding and shooting, and some fists and swords."

"You all understand a little?"

"Ah."

At the beginning, Tang Linger was all asking questions, and from the tone of her voice, the word "distrust" could be felt.

It's no wonder that Su Yu was very naughty in the early years, leaving behind the reputation of a playboy, and this reputation must have been heard in Tang Linger's ears long ago.

As for her noble status, she was educated in power and tactics since she was a child, and she looked at Su Yu with a gaze overlooking all sentient beings.

The innate feeling of aloofness was completely written in her eyes.

Su Yu, who originally had a little fantasy, felt disillusioned, and instead calmed himself down.

Tang Ling'er looked down at the documents on the table, picked up one at random, and asked while reading: "You said you know a little about poetry, but are there any works that have been sung?"

"No."

Tang Linger sorted out the documents on the case, and said without looking up: "I'm very busy now, and I'm short of manpower. Just now Lin Wan told me that you know how to count, so you can manage the Dongfu warehouse on Lin Wan's behalf. This way Come, Lin Wan can follow me. You have six servant girls, and they usually count, keep accounts, open warehouses, and seal them up. You only need to check regularly. If anything happens, as long as the amount is not large, you can You can make the main decision. I will give you ten thousand yuan of authority temporarily. How about it, do you think you are competent?"

"can."

In the Liang Dynasty, one tael of silver could be exchanged for about 1000 yuan. This value is not fixed and fluctuates occasionally.One qian can buy a leek pie or an egg, three qian can buy candied haws, and five qian can buy a bunch of candied haws.

Su Yu and Tang Ling'er sat opposite each other, neither of them wanted to continue talking.

Su Yu was sensible and took the initiative to stand up and say goodbye.

Tang Ling'er got up to see them off.

The moment Tang Linger got up, Su Yu saw a bright red coat hanging on the hanger behind Tang Linger, and beside the coat was a red string necklace.The necklace pendant is nothing but a golden sitting Buddha with a big belly and a big smile.

-

Su Yu returned to his bedroom.

Not long after, I heard footsteps and looked out, it was Xiao Huan who came over with her luggage in her arms.

Su Yu was puzzled, but didn't ask anything, just waited and watched.

Seeing that the little maid actually sent the luggage directly to the outer room of the anteroom, she put down her luggage, walked up to Su Yu, and said shyly: "Miss said, let Xiao Huan live in the outer room of my uncle. It will be more convenient to serve my uncle this way."

"Oh."
