Chapter 401: Disturbances
"The Ah family is hard, the slave has stewed bird's nest in the kitchen, is it good for the Ah family to use some?"
After watching the carriage of Chai's mother and son walk away, the Ma family returned home, and the tired look on the face of the Ma mother was fully revealed-
She is Ma Sanbao's original partner, she has a bad background, she suffered a lot when she was young, and she is in poor health when she is old.
Ma Mu waved her hand and said, "Everyone use some, I have wronged you in the past two days, and I have worked hard to please people!" β
The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, hurriedly said: "It's not hard, these are what slaves should do." β
Ma Mu nodded and said: "My family is not from a good background, now these are your father-in-law and husband on the battlefield in exchange for their lives, Chang'an City is more people from the family, we have a thin foundation, only be cautious in words and deeds, abide by our duties, is the way to prosper the family." Remember! β
"Oh, slave training."
The three daughters-in-law all responded respectfully. Ma Mu waved her hand and said, "Wait for Shiro to come back, let him and Erlang come to see me together." β
"Whoa!"
In the evening, **** Liang came home from his job in Beiya, and as soon as he got home, he hadn't changed his clothes yet, so he was called by his motherββ
"A-Niang, second brother! The Chai family is gone? β
Liang asked first when he went in. Mother Ma nodded at him and motioned for him to go over and sit down, Mother Ma looked at him with dust, and said with concern: "Look at my son's tired face and dusty body, ask your daughter-in-law to let the kitchen stew some supplements for you, don't lose your body." β
Liang said: "Thank you A-Niang, you know." I am not afraid of hard work, but thanks to Uncle Xue's support, I can have today, and I can live up to Uncle Xue's support with more care. β
"It's good that you know this, and you should be more attentive in doing things in the future."
"Whoa."
Mother and son cared for each other. Ma's mother said: "I called you two brothers here today for the sake of the Chai family. β
"Auntie, please speak."
The Ma brothers were very serious. Ma Mu's expression was faintly melancholy, and she said: "Wei Niang watched the Chai family come to the door, and it seemed that she had other intentions. Did Erlang inquire about Young Master Atong? β
Ma Erlang said: "I asked vaguely, and I learned that the Chai father and son have visited the princess, and His Royal Highness has promised to seek a future for Young Master Atong." β
Mother Ma's face was even more worried, **** Liang saw her mother's expression, and asked puzzledly: "What is A-Niang worried about?" β
Ma Mu sighed and said, "In the past two days, Mrs. Chai has come to be a guest, and I have heard her talk, and the plotter is big. However, the Chai family is no longer the Chai family of the previous dynasty, the former Sui perished, the Tang Dynasty came into being, the former Daxing City has become today's Chang'an, the so-called people go tea cool, this Chang'an City, there are still a few people to buy Chai's account? The person on whom the Chai family relies is only the princess! β
The Ma brothers' expressions were solemn, and Ma Erlang said: "A-Niang thinks that the Chai family is afraid that the people's hearts will be insufficient, and they will have to make inches?" β
Ma Muzhen: "You Aya once said, the Chai family has two rooms, the family relies on only the big house, the second room has limited talents, although the second master is cautious, but afraid of his wife, the second wife has the suspicion of having a high eye, if you live in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, patiently cultivate your children, the Chai family is expected to recover." If you add a non-dividing thought...... It will only wear out the nostalgia in the princess's heart, and the plan will fail! β
The Ma brothers have limited qualifications, and they can't imagine that their father is so far away, and they can't see so thoroughly, but the two brothers have a benefit, they know that they are mediocre and are willing to be obedient.
Ma Erlang immediately asked, "What does A-Niang mean?" β
Ma immediately decided: "Come on, prepare the car, and go to the princess's mansion to see the princess for the sake of my mother, and explain the situation." β
Liang Yi was stunned: "Auntie, it's getting late, why don't you go again tomorrow?" β
Ma said: "If you don't go at this time, what's the use of going again tomorrow!" Shiro, for the mother just said, should be cautious in words and deeds, abide by their duties, my Ma family was born in a family, can rely on the fight is just a loyal word, since you choose to be loyal to the princess, always remember, things have changed, for the next should immediately report to the master to know, where can wait for tomorrow! If things change, how can you be worthy of your master? β
"Oh, my son remembered!"
At that moment, he immediately ordered someone to prepare the car, and the mother of the horse, who was already pampered, got into the carriage and went straight to the princess's mansion.
Xue Lang naturally didn't know about the movements of the Ma Mansion, he was busy handing over to Wang Xian. On the same day, when Pei Ju announced that he would assign the warehouse to him, Wang Xian did not look surprised, obviously he had already known in advance. When the handover, he didn't make any difficulties for Xue Lang, one board and one eye, no more and no less, seeing that Xue Lang was busy with the handover, and he had to be busy with the preparation of the auction, etc., he was quite a cold bystander.
Xue Lang didn't want him to interfere, made full use of the overall allocation, and divided his time only in an orderly manner, busy but not chaotic, and unexpectedly let Pei Ju praise him, saying that his management skills were not weaker than other talents, which was also an unexpected gain.
Xue Lang was mainly in charge of the handover, and the auction only gave the overall plan and general steps and measures, and the details were handed over to the two editors transferred from the Hanlin Academy.
The two editors are a pair of brothers, Jinshi who has just been taken from the current department, surnamed Li. Because the brothers are both Jinshi who passed the one-year examination, they are somewhat famous in the six departments of the three provinces, and there are quite a few people who know them. The elder brother is called Da Li Lang, named Li Yichen, and the younger brother is called Little Li Lang, named Li Yiyan.
Most of the Jinshi who have just passed the examination are editors in the Hanlin Academy, doing some idle positions and jobs, and few practical assignments are assigned to the head. Therefore, when Xue Lang went to the Hanlin Academy to transfer people and selected the Li brothers, the two brothers were very happy. Because there is something to do to make meritorious service, the two of them have a Jinshi background, as long as they have the opportunity to do things and make meritorious contributions, promotion is almost a certainty.
In these years, those who can read and take the Jinshi examination represent those who have studied hard for many years, and most of those who can read are those who are stoic and hardworking. In the same year, other Jinshi were still studying for seniority in the Hanlin Academy, and the Li brothers had been selected by Xue Lang to assist him in preparing for the auction.
Because Xue Lang was busy with the handover, when the Li brothers came to ask about the auction, they could only run to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Xue Lang was satisfied with the brothers' ability to do things, but he was a little embarrassed to bother others running around, and wanted to invite the two brothers to the house for a meal and express their gratitude. Thinking like this, he got up and chased out, wanting to find Xiao Li Lang, who had just left, and ask them to come over-
"Little Li Lang, please stay!"
Xue Lang had just chased out of the office and walked around the corner when he suddenly heard someone stop Li Yiyan. I heard Li Yiyan say respectfully: "The lower officials have seen Wang Shilang, and Wang Shilang is polite!" β
"Xiao Li Lang doesn't need to be polite! Recently, this official has seen your two brothers coming and going to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I don't know what is going on? β
Li Yiyan replied: "Back to Wang Shilang, the two Xiaguan brothers were selected by Xue Shilang to assist him in preparing for the auction. β
It was Wang Xian who stopped Li Yiyan! Thinking of Wang Xian's uncle and nephew's apology that day, which was actually a mocking behavior, Xue Lang's pace couldn't help but stop, unconsciously breathed lightly, and listened silently.
