Mrs. Qian's idle days did not pass for two days, and when she heard that the courtyard in front of her was lively, she asked the maids to inquire about what was going on.

It turned out that Hu Dagui was here.

This small pavilion chief of Hujiazhuang, since his daughter became the queen's guard with a knife, he really became a phoenix emperor, and this time I heard that his old man was going to live in Beijing, and the county orders of Jiaodong counties sent many gifts. This is an excellent channel to connect to imperial power, how can you miss it?

That Hu Dagui is now as fat as a ball, but he is rich, and outsiders don't know it, and they think he is the master of this family. It looks like a rich face.

Seeing Tang Yuan, Hu Dagui's face was full of joy, and he asked Tang Yuan: "When you were asked to join the army, you said that you wanted me to be your father-in-law, is this still a number?" ”

Tang Yuan smiled bitterly, in front of his wife, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, you must know that Mrs. Lin is not easy to mess with.

Not long after, Tang Hu and Chen Bao's families also came, and Tang Xiaomi had grown up a little, the same age as Meng Tao.

The little guy was still the same as before, with two balls on his head, and when he saw Tang Yuan, he looked a little shy in his laughter.

Tang Yuan rubbed Xiaomi's head, and soon the two became familiar again, the elder brother was long, the elder brother was short, and the questions were endless.

"Didn't you bring the big red?" Tang Yuan asked the old hen who didn't lay eggs with a smile.

Millet scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Not long after you left, Da Hong was eaten by our mother, because there was really no food during that time." Da Hong is equivalent to renewing the lives of our mothers. ”

Tang Yuan shook his head regretfully and sighed: "When I beat Nanjia, it was the most difficult time for the country, and that difficulty was over, and I didn't feel difficult when I encountered anything in the future." ”

There were three people from Tang Hu's family, a mother, a sister, and a nephew who accompanied his mother. After sending his aunt off, his nephew planned to go home, but Tang Hu said, since you haven't married yet, it's better to stay. There are many children in your family, but there is very little land, after you go back, it will be a hard time, stay in the Tang family, and ensure that you are fed and clothed. In two years, brother, I will tell you a daughter-in-law, and you will settle down in Luoyang, and there is nothing bad about it.

The nephew's name is Zhang Sheng, he is a clever man, and when he heard Tang Hu say this, he couldn't ask for it.

There were five people from Chen Bao's family, Chen Bao's mother, two younger sisters, and two cousins. These two cousins, one is the nephew of Chen Bao's mother, and the other is a nephew. I heard that Chen Bao has now become a general, and the two families are like a little light, so they sent their son over and asked Chen Bao to take him in.

Chen Bao didn't make the decision, but came to Tang Yuan, and Tang Yuan said without thinking: "It's completely okay." ”

It's just a request from his daughter, Hu Dagui came with his family, and swaggered and unceremoniously lived in Tang Yuan's house.

He moved almost his entire family. Originally, his family was a big family in Hujiazhuang, and the master and servant were counted together, and there were seventeen people. It's said to be a streamlined version.

Tang Yuan's family suddenly became lively, Hu Dagui, this guy is the most capable of doing things, and he will gather the whole family for a party when he has nothing to do.

He was chattering, as if he were the second master of this family.

These people are all from the countryside, which will naturally bring some rustic spirit from the countryside, and Mrs. Qian felt bored and did not follow the cooperation.

Tang Yuan, a native of Hujiazhuang, didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but later, Meng Tao told him that the general was no longer the farmer he used to be, and it was good to pay attention to his family style. Don't underestimate the things in this courtyard, there are many long-tongued women in the capital, and the speed of the transmission of things in the boudoir is even more powerful than that of the flood beast, so you have to guard against it.

Although Meng Tao is small, he is a capable person.

Tang Yuan thought about it and felt that Meng Tao's words made sense, so he went to Tang's house and invited an old housekeeper who was known for his strictness to be in charge of the door. Let Meng Tao follow the old housekeeper, if possible, Tang Yuan hopes to train Meng Tao to become the female butler of the Tang family. He found that although Lin Qiaoer was sharp, she was not a nosy person. And the style that is too sharp is not suitable for housekeepers.

Tang Yuan gave this old housekeeper great power, Tang Yuan said: In this family, if you see anything unpleasant, you can raise your hand to beat, open your mouth to scold, including me, if there is anything inappropriate, you can take care of it.

Half a month has passed, and the Tang Mansion has become orderly, but unfortunately the old housekeeper is not from the Tang Yuan Mansion after all, and the people still have to go back.

At this time, Meng Tao said, in fact, our Meng family still has a few housekeepers, and now they are living on the streets like beggars, if we can find them back, I guarantee that the Tang family's style is one of the best in the capital. The housekeepers were not only young, but they were also all from the palace and used to be eunuchs.

"You reminded me."

Tang Yuan often went to the streets to give alms, but found a few men who did not grow beards, and after Meng Tao's reminder, he thought that those people might be the housekeepers of the Meng family, so he took Meng Tao to walk around the streets looking for those people.

Yun Lu General Tang Yuan, as soon as the news that he wanted to collect the Meng family's minions spread, it didn't take three days for a large group of people to come.

"My God, how many minions did your Meng family have before?" Tang Yuan was a little dazed, with his wealth, I am afraid that he would not be able to raise so many minions.

"I don't know, but these look familiar, and they shouldn't be wrong, especially those old slaves surnamed Meng, who were all given surnames by their grandfathers." Meng Tao said.

Hearing that the minions of the Meng family had come to report, Mrs. Qian ran over happily, and when she saw some familiar old slaves and maids, Qian cried loudly. Unexpectedly, after they left the Meng family, they had such a miserable life, their clothes were shabby, and they couldn't eat, so they begged Tang Yuan to take them in, and said that he was willing to pay half of the money to support them.

Tang Yuan calculated, if the Qian family would rather have that half of the money come out, it would be able to support it, but the question is, where did the Qian family's money come from?

He didn't ask, but gathered the group of house slaves together, and there were more than fifty of them.

Tang Yuan learned about their situation, but if you are strong and can find a job, you still go out and live by yourself, and in the end you leave thirty helpless people who have almost become beggars at home.

Now the Tang Mansion is lively, and according to the specifications of the Meng family, a few small workshops have been built, and the two facades at the door have been cleaned up to do some business, a crude medicine shop and a garment shop. Some of the medicinal herbs and clothes are sold out, and some are supported for domestic use. The people who worked were all from the former Meng family, and they were familiar with it and quickly supported the situation.

Hu Dagui was idle, and introduced a few slightly clever people in his family to Tang Yuan, and Tang Yuan didn't take him seriously, so he was sent to be an apprentice.

Soon after, the emperor suddenly arrived, and the news shook the whole house.

His Majesty the Emperor brought the orchid to the Tang Mansion together, which was a big face.

Hu Dagui felt that his son-in-law should not be Tang Yuan, but the emperor!!

The emperor said: "I, on behalf of the queen, I came to see Hu Lanhua's family, since the Northern Expedition, Hu Lanhua has been with the queen and has made countless contributions. ”

Hu Dagui felt the emperor's grace, and he was so excited that he cried, Hu Lanhua had a strange expression on his face, and he didn't know what to say.
