The Cultivator's partner went off track all the way

Chapter 6

When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the three teachers and sisters tactfully described what had happened to Mrs. Shui. Mrs. Shui laughed angrily at Tang Yue, "Such a big incident can happen in the last school!" .

Seeing Mrs. Shui's anger, Tang Yue stepped forward and explained: "Mother, I don't want to be like this. I planned to listen to the class carefully. It was Chen Jinbao who took the initiative to cause trouble, and he did it first. If I didn't have a defensive spirit weapon, I would have been seriously injured by him. You may lose your life, and you will never see me again."

Mrs. Shui couldn't hear her talking like this, "Nonsense, how could something happen if you have a defensive magic weapon? Then Chen Jinbao is too ignorant to attack you, a girl who has just drawn Qi into her body in public!"

Yue Yanling understood that Mrs. Shui was going to cover up for Tang Yue, so she stepped forward and said at the right time: "Madam of the city lord, that Chen Jinbao said that Junior Sister Yue is the miss of the city lord, and even made a move. This is clearly disrespect to the city lord."

When Shang Fangling heard Yue Yanling say this, she bowed her head and acquiesced. She didn't want to tell the truth, but behind Chen Jinbao's search for trouble, it was indeed caused by the factional dispute between the Zixiao Mansion and the wife of the city lord. It's just an excuse.

Mrs. Shui also knew what Yue Yanling meant. Chen Jinbao's master was a brother of the city lord, how could he disrespect the city lord?It is clearly disrespectful to himself, the wife of the city lord.

She comforted Yue Yanling and Shang Fangling first, and asked them to tell the teacher that today was just a small conflict between the disciples, so don't pay too much attention to it.The two resigned after receiving a definite answer.

Next, it should be Tang Yue's business. After all, because of her, a direct disciple of the family was seriously injured, and Zixiao Mansion would definitely cause trouble.Tang Yue quickly turned the topic to Wei Hongyun, the senior brother who was also in the flower hall at this time, "Senior brother Wei, do you have something important to discuss with your mother?"

Wei Hongyun is Shui Yingrou's personal apprentice, he practices inner alchemy like her, serves as the director of Qionghua Hall, helps Mrs. Shui manage the master of Qionghua Hall, and is responsible for the city's financial affairs.At this time, he was wearing a purple shirt, standing tall and straight by the hall, his phoenix eyes were worried, and he returned to Tang Yue: "Junior Sister, I am ashamed to say that Qionghua Hall has been unable to make ends meet recently, and it is time to distribute disciples' spirit stone pills. Find a way to discuss with Master." When Wei Hongyun said this, his face was a little delicate, and Tang Yue was curious, is there any hidden story behind this financial dilemma?
Senior Brother Wei turned to Mrs. Shui and said, "Master, we can't always rely on your private property to make up for the deficit of the entire Kunwu City. Those disciples from a greedy family will consume all your private treasury, and that's what they did on purpose."

What?Tang Wenhua, the city lord, actually eats his wife's soft rice?Tang Yue couldn't accept Shui Yingrou's rebellion, not only because Mrs. Shui's property safety was related to her survival and development, but also because Mrs. Shui was a mother physically and mentally, and no one wanted to see her mother lose her property.

"Mother, how can you let your father have a reputation of being soft? This is not to put him in an unrighteous place, and my father probably doesn't want to bear such a bad reputation." Tang Yue started to raise the flag again. In fact, Tang Wenhua was right Shui Yingrou has pretended to be deaf and dumb many times about the subsidy matter. He felt that the wife of the city owner should share the honor and disgrace with Kunwu City and do her part, and it was because of this that he married Shui Yingrou. If things are done in a hidden way, outsiders will not know.

Shui Yingrou gave her a white look, "What nonsense, I want to improve the situation in the city, so as to attract more monks to join Kunwu City."

Wei Hongyun said with some concern: "Master, Zixiao Mansion has applied for three additional training materials this month, and took away most of the Kunwu Sword Stones, resulting in a shortage of Kunwu Sword Stones in the store in charge of Qionghuatang. And I found that Zixiao Mansion does not use the Kunwu Stone for its own use, and some disciples secretly sell the Kunwu Sword Stone for profit, and if this continues, the right to sell the sword stone will be transferred directly to Zixiao Mansion."

Tang Yue couldn't bear it even more, there was someone so open and aboveboard that he was greedy for property in the city, filling his own pockets, Zixiao Mansion took the money but didn't spend it in the city.She immediately felt no guilt about hurting Chen Jinbao, he could eat and drink well, act like a boss, and poached Mrs. Shui's corner.

She asked Senior Brother Wei, "Don't father know that Zixiao Mansion is acting like this?"

The senior brother looked distressed: "I reported this matter to the city lord half a month ago, but the city lord replied that I should not hurt peace with Zixiao Mansion."

I'm afraid of hurting the peace by reselling openly, and I'm afraid that part of the proceeds from reselling will become the private property of the city owner. Isn't this a joint effort to dig money from Shui Yingrou?Tang Yue anxiously said to Shui Yingju: "Mother, it's no wonder they dared to humiliate me in public in the school, and you tolerated them so far. Don't tell me you want to give them all your private property, so that our mother and daughter end up on the streets, begging for food?"

Shui Yingrou scolded her: "It's not as serious as you said, it's just a loss of a little money."

Tang Yue exclusively enjoyed the emeralds on Mrs. Shui's head, which was less than what Zhuang Qiaohui wore at the auction that day. She thought it was because she liked to keep a low profile, but she wanted to save money and subsidize the city. No wonder she got angry because of a piece of clothing.

Tang Yue was determined not to allow the wife of the city lord to be more virtuous today. Although this kind of virtue is good, it would be so embarrassing for her and her important relatives to appear.

"Mother, your kindness did not bring praise from the people in the city, and the Zixiao Mansion felt that you were weak and deceitful. Today, Chen Jinbao dared to stop and bully me. He was always doing it for Tang Wan. It can be seen that the only lady in his heart is the city lord." Tang Wan is alone!"

"Mother, you have worked so hard, paid people and money, but in the end you fulfilled Tang Wan, the lady of the city lord's mansion, and Zhuang Qiaohui, the second lady of Kunwu City, but my mother and son swallowed their anger and cut down on food and clothing. When the value was used, they were jointly kicked out!" In order to prevent Mrs. Shui from paying the money, Tang Yue even revealed that she was poor.

"They dare! Do you think there is no one in Wuji Mountain?" Sure enough, Mrs. Zhuang was mentioned, and Mrs. Shui couldn't bear it.

And she still subconsciously regards Wuji Mountain as her backer and her home, which shows that she is only holding on to the name of the city lord's wife in Kunwu City.

The marriage is really beautiful on the outside, but miserable on the inside.Since Tang Yue has become Mrs. Shui's daughter, and Mrs. Shui treats her sincerely, she can't let Mrs. Shui suffer or suffer.

At this time, Senior Brother Wei stepped forward and added: "The private sale of Kunwu Sword and Stone is not the main reason for the loss in the city. There are many children from aristocratic families who have made good friends with Zixiao Mansion. They are obviously not eligible to receive supplies, but they come to receive supplies from inner disciples. "

Inner disciples refer to the disciples accepted by the official institutions of Kunwu City, such as the City Lord’s Mansion, Zixiao Mansion, Qionghua Hall, Taiping Mansion, Shennong Hall, and Baopu Pavilion’s disciples are all inner disciples, equivalent to the status of civil servants .The Tiangong Refining Building and Duobao Pavilion are privately operated in the city, not under the management of the City Lord's Mansion.
"What? These people dare to take things for nothing!" Tang Yue was shocked. The family in the city was so arrogant. Mrs. Shui's temper obviously didn't look like she was being taken advantage of.

It's not that Shui Yingrou is ignorant of financial management, on the contrary, she is a good hand at increasing income and reducing expenditure, but in the past she wanted to gain a good reputation in the city so that she could gain a foothold in the city, and at this time she was also throwing money at herself Questioned his behavior, "Have the cases taken by the children of the family accumulated a lot?"

Seeing that Master finally listened to it, Wei Hongyun replied, "Master, the quotas taken by the family's children every year can be used by inner monks to practice for five years."

Tang Yue felt that it was time for her controllable tears to come in handy, "Mother, you have sacrificed so much for them, but there is no one in this city who misses you well. Isn't everyone saying that Mrs. Zhuang is gentle and virtuous?"

She naturally exaggerated and said, in fact, how could the family in the city value a concubine, it was just to see that the city lord liked it, and to give some face.

Mrs. Shui pondered for a while, and then said: "That's the case, why should I be thankless, why not manage more strictly, and use the name of "Steel Face and Selflessness". I hope everyone in this city can save resources for the development of Kunwu City. Understand that if you use more, others will use less."

Shui Yingrou made this decision, not because she was angry for a while, or because she was provoked by Tang Yue. Thoughts of love are now gradually being wiped out by Tang Wenhua and the greedy elders in the city.

Tang Yue didn't have such complicated feelings in Mrs. Shui's heart. She happily praised Mrs. Shui: "Mother, you are so wise and decisive!"

Shui Yingrou looked at Tang Yue's smiling expression, and thought that it was worth it for her to have a caring daughter, but she was also afraid that she would be obsessed with property and damage her heart: "Why are you becoming more and more obsessed with money? Look at your mother, this idea of ​​spirit stones is not enough for me."

Tang Yue stuck out her tongue, pretending to be cute to get through, "Mother, of course I know, it's just that people don't have long-term considerations, so they must have near-term worries!"

Wei Hongyun is really happy at this moment. He has long been displeased with the monks in the city, and he is even more displeased with the arrogant people in Zixiao Mansion. He suggested to Shui Yingrou: "Master, since you are determined to manage finances strictly, then cancel all Let’s make special expenditures, Zixiao Mansion’s allocation is also consistent with other institutions.”

Tang Yue found it inconceivable, "What? Everyone in Zixiao Mansion has a higher status than me? I obeyed my father's words and held the same status as ordinary inner disciples."

Tang Wenhua, the lord of the city, feels that the city lord's mansion should set an example for the monks and share the joys and sorrows with other disciples, so the monks of the city lord's mansion are the same as ordinary inner disciples, and the salaries of all the disciples of the Zixiao mansion are raised by one level because of "outstanding disciples", and the monks in the qi training period take the building The resources of the base period, the monks of the foundation period get the resources of the Jindan period, and so on.

But this is just a superficial effort, he can't let his own people suffer, Chu Tianshu and Tang Wan can get another copy from Zixiao Mansion because of their "excellent academic performance".

It's not that Tang Wenhua deliberately didn't take care of Tang Yue. He felt that Tang Yue was subsidized by Mrs. Shui, so he didn't need to think of a way. In this way, he achieved "general love" for his children and proud disciples.

"Not only that, from now on, according to the three levels of Fuguange, the total distribution will be issued, and each faction will distribute the disciple's salary by itself. If you want additional materials, you need to submit a special application to Qionghuatang, which will be approved by the monk in charge. In this way, we can easily Save some money." Mrs. Shui replied seriously, she had already made up her mind not to be used to the elder family of Kunwu City, and asked them to pay for extra spirit stones.

Tang Yue listened to Mrs. Shui's words even more happily. Now Chu Tianshu and Tang Wan are taking advantage of the disciples of Zixiao Mansion. If they get more points, everyone in Zixiao Mansion will lose a point, even though it is not much on average. , but this matter itself is enough to make the people in Zixiao Mansion uncomfortable.

Wei Hongyun thought to himself that the purpose of his trip had not only been achieved, but also exceeded expectations, so he looked relaxed and asked Mrs. Shui: "Our Qionghuatang thinks that Kunwu City's finances are tight, so how about reducing expenses in the name of promoting open source and reducing expenditure? In fact, Kunwu City has been unable to make ends meet for a long time."

Mrs. Shui nodded, "Okay, I will trouble you, Hongyun, to carry out this matter. The elders in the city, especially everyone in Zixiao Mansion, will definitely oppose it, and some troubles may arise. Come to me when the time comes, and don't force it." She It is expected that the New Deal will be opposed by the families in the city. After all, how can those people be willing to cut off the benefits of the future.

Tang Yue thought about Chen Jinbao in the school, and smiled. If the second generation of repairs in the city and the wealthy family are like him, then she can help with this matter. The identity of the lady of the city lord's mansion is very useful, "Mother, I I think I can also help you and your brother."

Shui Yingrou didn't know what she was thinking, she just thought she was young, and took this matter as a joke, "You'd better stay in the mansion with peace of mind, don't make trouble for your senior brother, the matter of Chen Jinbao is not over yet, carefully Zi Xiao Mansion is looking for trouble for you."

Hearing this, Tang Yue raised her head, "Mother, I'm not afraid of them. If they have the ability, they will really hurt me. I don't believe that father can not protect me."

Hearing what she said, Shui Yingrou had no choice but to reply: "You, your father is not good at favoritism."

In fact, Tang Yue and Shui Yingrou didn't trust Tang Wenhua very much, Tang Yue just wanted to raise a flag.

Wei Hongyun thought that after finishing the work at Madam Shui's place today, he would go back to Qionghua Hall to start reducing expenses, and bid farewell to Madam Shui and Tang Yue: "Master, junior sister, I still have to deal with business, so I will Don't disturb your dinner."

Mrs. Shui knew that he was busy on weekdays, so she replied: "You go back, you have worked hard these days, the mansion got some spirit fruit spirit wine these days, it is from Huayue City, the quality is high, you can take some back. "

Wei Hongyun replied sincerely: "Thank you, Master, for your concern."

He grew up in Wuji Mountain since he was a child, without father or mother, Mrs. Shui treated him like a child, and she greeted him with care and attention in every possible way, and often made him feel the warmth of his mother.

Tang Yue said, "Mother, let me see my brother off."

"Go!" Shui Yingrou was happy to see her child getting close to her own disciple.

The two chatted all the way to the gate of the mansion. Mrs. Shui's residence has a good view, with gardens made of rocks, flowers and trees, winding paths leading to secluded places, and there are some magic circles hidden in it, so it takes a long walk to get to the side gate closest to the mansion.

Tang Yue sincerely thanked Senior Brother Wei: "Senior Brother, thank you for always thinking of your mother and doing your best in Qionghuatang."

Wei Hongyun smiled back at her: "Junior Sister, this is my duty. Besides, thanks to your help today, Junior Sister, Master made up his mind not to subsidize. You are really much smarter than before, Junior Sister."

Tang Yue avoided any mention of her personality change, "Hey, don't mention senior brother, this is because I have experienced a lot recently, so I have to think more." The next step is to rely on Senior Brother Wei's imagination.

Sure enough, Senior Brother Wei felt that it was better not to mention this matter, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "Junior Sister, Master treats me like a parent and child, and I also treat you and Master as relatives. I will never let you and Master be reduced to the streets one day .” He just felt uncomfortable when he heard such a hypothesis in class, although he knew that his junior sister was just pretending to be exaggerated, but he didn’t want to have such an imagination.

Tang Yue laughed, Senior Brother Wei really treated Shui Yingrou and Tang Yue mother and daughter as well as in the original book.In the book, after Tang Yue had an accident, he desperately protected the mother and daughter and escaped from Kunwu City. After years of searching for medicinal herbs that could restore their spiritual veins, after failing to protect the lives of the master and sister, he took refuge in the husband and wife. The first big villain the Lord encountered set up many catastrophes for the hero and heroine.

Oh, by the way, that villain is Lu Lingyi, the head disciple of Xuanyuan Mountain who was forced to defect from the sect...

She felt that she would not let Senior Brother Wei take the road of revenge in this life, "Senior Brother, I will treat you well."

Wei Hongyun realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. He felt that as a man and an old man, he should naturally take care of his junior sister without asking for anything in return. Besides, it was true that in the past, his junior sister was not very enthusiastic towards him, "I know that my junior sister treats me well. The class speaks for me, I can feel it."

Tang Yue understood his subconscious reaction, "Brother, I used to be ignorant and not close to you, but now I know that I am close, and I will help you with things in the future!"

Naturally, Wei Hongyun would not refuse Tang Yue's help, he was receptive, and he had already seen that Tang Yue had his own future, let alone watching him, he would not let her have trouble.

"If that's the case, I'll trouble my junior sister a lot." As the daughter of the city lord, she is really suitable for dealing with the children of the aristocratic families in the city.

Tang Yue smiled mysteriously, "Brother, I will not let you down, and I will trouble you to help me earn more spirit stones in the future."
