In fact, Meng Tao's mother, Qian, did not live very badly in prison, because Qian was the niece of Qian Qibo, the crown prince of Wu Guogong, and with the power of the Qian family's chaebol, it was not difficult to take care of the people in prison. From the cell boss to the prison, they are all taken care of clearly, and no one will embarrass them.

Being able to keep the two prisoners alone in the best prison is also the result of the efforts of the Qian family, where the ventilation is good and you can see the sun, which is simply the number of the cells in the cell.

The day before yesterday, Qian Lingxian, the head of the Qian family, also brought a lot of money to visit the prison, of course, the money was not for the Qian family, but for the prison.

However, how graceful and luxurious Mrs. Qian was in the past, but now she is a prisoner, which makes the little girl Meng Tao unable to stand it, and she cries while walking.

In fact, the Qian family and the Fan family are not having a good time now, because after purging the two major warlords of the Meng family and the Ximen family, the Queen Mother feels that the salt road of the Qian family and the Fan family should be recovered.

These two are also very clever and have no intention of resisting at all.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied, retained their dukedom title, hereditary replacement, and also increased their dukedom.

Almost at the same time, the two families began to cut their expenses, and the fourth blessed relatives began to clean up the mansion and reduce the number of slaves by a large amount, and now the scale of the two families was only more than 300 people, compared to the previous large families of 1,000 people, it is simply not the same.

And he also sold a lot of real estate, and the whole family shrank by more than half.

Without the support of Yandao, they can only live on the income of Yulu and land, and the two of them still have a lot of land, which collects rent every year, and hopes that the Queen Mother will not touch their land, otherwise these two families will shrink again.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and compared with ordinary people, these two are still super chaebols with deep heritage.

"Report to the master, Tang Yuan came to see you with a child." The old housekeeper of the Tang family came to report the news.

"Kid?" Tang Zhenzheng fell in the free chair, handed over the Prime Minister's Mansion to Tang Xiao to manage, and he was also clean, and suddenly heard the news, he was a little confused: "How can Tang Yuan have children?" ”

"Not his child." The old housekeeper smiled and said, "It's Meng Danqing's granddaughter, Meng Tao." ”

"Huh?" Tang Zhen smiled bitterly: "It's a little interesting, bring him in." ”

Tang Zhen and Meng Danqing have been fighting for half a century, and they have assassinated each other with black hands, but for some reason, when Meng Danqing died, Tang Zhen also secretly wiped his tears. I think that when they were all young, they once fought Mobei together and established a friendship. If it weren't for the battle between the gate valves, which made them have to be ruthless to each other, they could actually be very good friends.

Siren has passed away, and his granddaughter came to see him, Tang Zhen not only did not stop him, but he was very fond of him like a grandfather seeing his granddaughter.

Give Meng Tao many gifts.

If before, Meng Tao couldn't look down on these gifts at all, she was Meng Danqing's heart, except for the moon in the sky that couldn't be picked, all the treasures that could be collected could be given to her granddaughter to play with.

But now is different from the past, there are not so many new things in Tang Yuan's mansion, she has never eaten such delicious dim sum since she lived in the dark pile house three years ago.

In the end, she also packed it and took it away, saying that she would give it to her parents in prison to taste.

Tang Zhen picked up his pen, wrote a paperwork, and handed it to Tang Yuandao: "The procedures for going to Luojian are cumbersome, so you can take my long-term pass, and it will be convenient in the future." ”

Tang Yuan put the paperwork away.

Tang Zhen asked, "Tang Yuan, what do you think of Tang Qi?" ”

Tang Yuan was most afraid of this question, and to be honest, he felt that he couldn't answer it. Especially in the face of Tang Zhen.

Tang Yuan frowned and was silent.

Tang Zhen smiled and said, "I know you're in a difficult situation right now. In fact, the same is true for Tang Qi. She lives in the gap between the two families, her father doesn't love her mother, I hope she can give birth to a dragon son this time. After all, the emperor is also a man, and there is a time limit for a man's favor to a woman. The emperor's selection of concubines is underway, and this time it is the Empress Dowager Cao's personal election. She gave this task to the Lu family, and I didn't pay much attention to the Lu family before, but now I find that this woman is not simple. I want to remind Tang Qi, and at the same time remind you. ”

"Follow the Prime Minister's teachings."

"Tang Jiaqi unfortunately died, I heard that you cried for her a few times, I am deeply grateful. You see, in our Tang family, is there a suitable woman who can marry you as a daughter-in-law? ”

Tang Zhen's words were understated, as if he was discussing with Tang Yuan, and he said it quite humbly.

But if Tang Yuan heard this sentence directly in his mind, and thought that Tang Zhen was very humble, then his good days would come to an end.

Tang Yuan hurriedly said: "Jia Qi is your niece and granddaughter, and I am also your niece and son-in-law, we are a family." No matter when, Tang Yuan will never forget this identity. In the future, if there is a dispute between the Tang family and the royal family, no matter what, Tang Yuan will not help the imperial court fight the Tang family. ”

Tang Zhen waved his hand and said, "This is far away, I still trust you very much." Moreover, I discussed it in detail with the Queen Mother, and soon after, Tang returned to Beijing and was named 8,000 years old. At the same time, I will send Tang Xiao to Chang'an and take Princess Chang'an with me, where there is their little world. Since then, the Tang and Zhao families have formed an alliance forever, containing each other and supporting each other, and I think it should be maintained for a long time. Of course, there can't be eternal weather, and sooner or later this balance will be broken, just like the Meng family and the Ximen family, the great warlords who have lasted for two hundred years, haven't they also fallen? It's just that Simon Mamori fell short, and if it weren't for his slightly bad luck, he would now be the founding emperor of the new dynasty. And sitting in the prison is not the Meng family and the Ximen family, but our Tang family and the Zhao family. ”

At the beginning, Meng Tao begged Tang Yuan to bring her to thank Grandpa Tang Zhen, but found that Tang Yuan was a little embarrassed, she was still a child after all, and she didn't know what Tang Yuan represented when he came to the Tang family once.

She thinks that her purpose is the main thing, but in the eyes of Tang Zhen and Tang Yuan, it is a completely different matter, and in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it is a thorn in the flesh.

Empress Dowager Cao thought that Tang Yuan was moving closer to Tang Zhen, and he was still sitting down.

The Queen Mother hated the roots of her teeth.

The Queen Mother suddenly asked the Lu family to speed up the pace of choosing a concubine, she must choose a beautiful and charming imperial concubine, she must capture the emperor's heart, and she will snub Tang Qi from then on.

If possible, cut off Tang Qi's contact with Tang Yuan, isolate Tang Qi, and also isolate Tang Yuan, so that Tang Yuan can swing between the Tang family and the Zhao family, and finally end up with people who are not human inside and out.

Just when Empress Dowager Cao was designing step by step, suddenly Lin Chongyang, the general of the border pass, sent a battle table, saying: Everything is ready, just wait for the imperial court to send reinforcements, I, Lin Chongyang, am willing to be the vanguard, before the autumn, take Hanzhong, and enter Hanzhong to harvest grain.
