There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 64 Willow Dark Flower Bright Another Village

Why did Tang Shuwan have such an idea?
Because among the direct descendants of the Tang family, Tang Ju's branch had the worst luck.

The root cause is that Tang Ju only gave birth to two daughters and had no children, which resulted in the family's resources not being tilted towards him.

Even the seventh-grade official of Leshou County magistrate was obtained by Tang Ju with great effort...

Tang Shuwan still remembers that when the family left Shendu and rushed to Leshou County to take office, someone in the family made fun of Tang Ju, saying that he went to that remote place in Yingzhou, Hebei Province to be the county magistrate, which was simply an embarrassment to the family.

He also asserted that Tang Ju would not be promoted, and the best situation would be to stay in the post of magistrate of Leshou County for the rest of his life.

But now, Tang Ju is resigning.

Tang Shujing could imagine how much ridicule their family would suffer when they returned to the capital in despair...

Tang Shuwan is clearly aware of the family's predicament, but she is just a weak woman. Although she is proficient in poetry, song, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, what's the use?

Sometimes she couldn't help but fantasize that if she were a boy, maybe Tang Ju's situation would be improved, or at least he would be able to benefit from the family's resources.

But...she was raised to be a lady of the family since she was a child...

On the contrary, her younger sister Jing'er behaved quite like a man, which made her envious. However, it was of no use. Having no children means having no children.

In addition to his wife, Mrs. Chen, Tang Ju also had two concubines, but the two concubines had nothing to do...

In the quiet back hall, neither father nor daughter said anything more.

Tang Ju drank tea silently, while Tang Shuwan silently picked up the pot and added tea.

All frowned.

At this time, Mrs. Chen, the county magistrate, walked into the back hall with a beautiful small wooden box in her arms. After seeing the situation in the hall, she didn't say a word, she just held the small wooden box and sat down on the chair next to Tang Ju.

Tang Shuwan silently took the clean cup and poured tea for Mrs. Chen.

"Madam, how are you cleaning up?" Tang Ju asked.Since he decided to resign voluntarily, he naturally needed to move out of the county government house.

"Husband, don't worry..." Mrs. Chen placed the small wooden box on the coffee table and opened it carefully. There were several large piles of silver notes lying quietly inside.

After Tang Ju turned his head and took a look, he couldn't move his eyes away.

I couldn't help but feel like "my family is so rich".

But he usually can't even get ten coins with him...

"Husband, how about we increase the reward amount?" Mrs. Chen was wary of her husband, fearing that he would suddenly come to steal the money.

"How much?"

"One or two?"

"puff!"

Tang Ju squirted out a mouthful of old tea, and according to the trajectory of the spray, the tea would wet the silver bills in the small wooden box.

But at the critical moment, Tang Jusheng turned his head and turned to the other side.

After spraying the tea, there was a violent cough.

Tang Shuwan hurriedly walked up to Tang Ju behind her and patted his back for him.

"Are you okay, husband?" Mrs. Chen smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay, cough...it'll be fine in a moment." After he stopped coughing, Tang Ju shook his head and said, "There's no use raising the reward now."

"Then... increase it by 100 taels? One thousand and one hundred taels is already a lot." Mrs. Chen said.

Tang Ju continued to shake his head.

Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth, like a brave man who had cut off his arm, "Then add 1000 taels, for a total of 2000 taels. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!"

Tang Ju still shook his head and sighed: "This case is almost unsolvable because there are no clues. Even raising the reward of 1 taels is useless."

"Hey!" Mrs. Chen sighed, silently closed the lid of the small wooden box, and then held it in her arms.

Tang Ju's eyes twitched, but he didn't say anything... Who made him henpecked?
Hey!
Mrs. Chen sighed for a while, then suddenly looked at her eldest daughter Tang Shuwan and said, "Wan'er, why don't you go find Liu Ziyun and see if you can ask the envoy to help?"

"Mom, don't mention Liu Ziyun!" Tang Shuwan's face fell.

Previously, Tang Ju and the governor of Yingzhou deliberately matched Liu Ziyun and Tang Shuwan. Although Tang Shuwan was reluctant, the family rules of the scholarly family constrained her and she did not dare to resist openly.

"Why? Wan'er, please don't be polite at this time..."

"Mom, after Liu Ziyun learned about the murder on the city wall, he fled back to the city overnight..." Although Tang Shuwan sounded aggrieved, she was actually secretly happy... she could finally get rid of that annoying guy.

"Uh..." Mrs. Chen was confused.

"This..." Tang Ju was also confused for a while.

They naturally knew that Liu Ziyun was interested in their eldest daughter, but they didn't expect that Liu Ziyun would run away at the critical moment?

Tang Shuwan had an idea and mustered up the courage to hold Tang Ju's hand and said, "Dad, let your daughter decide on her marriage. Liu Ziyun is a coward..."

"To shut up!"

Tang Ju frowned and interrupted Tang Shuwan's words.

Tang Shuwan immediately lowered her head and remained silent. The tutor she received since she was a child made her dare not talk back to Tang Ju.

The way she bowed her head and admitted her mistake made Tang Ju very satisfied, because it allowed him to experience the feeling of "being a father".

If it were Tang Shujing's unfilial daughter, she would definitely quarrel with him.

"Since ancient times, when children get married, they have to follow the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker! How can you decide for yourself? This is an act of ruining the family style. I will punish you for copying "The Precepts for Women" ten times. I will check."

"Yes!" Tang Shuwan lowered her head, her voice slightly aggrieved.

"That's right."

Tang Ju nodded with satisfaction and showed a knowing smile. He felt successful in being able to teach Tang Shuwan to become a perfect lady.

Even if he loses his official position, when he returns to the divine capital, when it comes to Tang Shuwan's character, everyone in the family will give him a thumbs up.

However, at this moment, a maid came to report and said: "Alang, madam... the second lady broke in, bringing someone with her..."

What?
Tang Shujing led someone into her home?
The successful smile on Tang Ju's face suddenly stiffened and then completely disappeared.

Regarding this second daughter Tang Shujing, based on Tang Ju's understanding, she would definitely be able to do such a thing.

Tang Ju couldn't help but stand up, his face was livid, and he was ready to preach to Tang Shujing.

After resigning from the official position, I will focus on teaching Jing'er, otherwise how will she get married in the future... Tang Ju thought to himself as he stood up.

Mrs. Chen also got up. There was nothing she could do about her daughter Tang Shujing, but it was so long ago that she was so reckless and ignorant.

Tang Shuwan also frowned slightly. Although she envied her sister for walking around like a man, she felt uncomfortable with some of her words and deeds.

After Tang Ju stood up, as soon as his steps moved, Tang Shujing's shout came from the back hall: "Dad, we have a clue, we have a clue!"

After hearing this, Tang Ju, Mrs. Chen and Tang Shuwan were all shocked.

The sullenness on his face disappeared immediately, and turned into a look of anticipation and surprise.

Originally, Tang Ju was ready to resign.

But another clue came.

It really is another village that is bright and bright!
