+++++++++++++++++++ Brother and Sister Love (IV) (Middle) Dividing Line
Chen Biyan didn't pay attention to Mother Lin who came in, looking at the teacup in her hand and not knowing what she was thinking. Mother Lin has been by her master's side for decades, and she knows that the more the old man who seems to be sitting quietly in the deep house looks at the tranquility, the more turbulent her heart becomes. Obviously, the news brought by the bookkeeper just now was different. Mother Lin, as usual, gently placed the white fungus soup on the small table in front of the master with the insulated cotton cone, and only brought it out when the master wanted to eat it.
Chen Biyan glanced at Mother Lin and did not speak, The account room that came just now is indeed not an ordinary person, it is Su Gongliang, the manager of the news from all over the country of the Ping An Inn. Originally, all the information of the Tang family was gathered in Baicaotang through various places, and then passed on by Baicaotang. But after a few major incidents, after the pain of the skin, Chen Biyan threw away the old rules of the Tang family and established their own messaging systems in Baicaotang, Ping'an Inn, Ping'an Cargo Station and Baihuatang. Each place has its own supervisor to take care of it, classify and summarize the news, and pass it on to the family. And on ordinary days, the position of these people in charge is not prominent, and it is eye-catching. There is also a special person for uploading messages, and they don't need to come directly to the master.
Su Gongliang is not only shrewd and capable, but also very delicate. Many subordinates are reporting information, waiting for the master's will. And Su Gongliang will also think about the master when sorting out the information, thinking about what kind of instructions the master will have, and prepare in advance, so as not to implement the master's instructions poorly after they come down. And these few times, there is important news for people to transmit to the masters, but there is no waiting for the corresponding instructions, Su Gongliang analyzed some of the current things, and then suspected that something was wrong. But the messenger of the message was chosen by the master, and he could not ask what happened after the message was gone. Originally, there was a sneak attack on Yingyue Tower in Zhuangzi, and there were already clues in the information he reported, but the masters' doubts about the Ping An Inn didn't seem to have received this information. There are also a few things that have come out one after another recently, although they are not big, but they are all similar to the things in Yingyue Tower, after thinking twice, he did not avoid suspicion, and came to see Chen Biyan and said the suspicion in his heart.
Xintian took his brothers to autumn hunting, Tangzhuang was temporarily the head of Xinjie, although the affairs of the safe warehouse were taken care of by Xinyuan, but the news would also be passed on to Xinjie. The mistake is not made sooner or later, but when Xinjie is at home, outsiders have to question it. Chen Biyan is confident that the problem with her grandson's understanding is not with the children, but with those who handle it. On the contrary, if Xinjie had not received the letter earlier, but had coped well with these incidents, it would have been even more remarkable that the child's ability was extraordinary.
The person who delivered the message was earlier selected by her and Tang Lan and Tang Wei brothers, and some people have changed over the years, and most of the new arrivals are handled by the new God, and it is not fair to say that the problem lies with the new arrivals. Although the child is less flexible and flexible, he is still very serious and hard-working.
After Mother Lin put away the white fungus soup, she went to the low cabinet to bring over a few delicate small jars containing melon seeds, peanuts and walnuts.
Chen Biyan watched Mother Lin do things and smiled slightly. Mother Lin's mother was brought over by the Chen family to marry, and the mother and daughter knew her preferences very clearly, and these old people around her knew her habits. By the way, even the old people have been observed for a long time and know the habits, and the people on the other side of the letter are also people. If you are a human being, you will have habits, and there will be mistakes that will be taken advantage of, so just send someone to investigate. I've been through so much, and I've seen too many things like this, so it's good to do it seriously. Thinking of this, she was not in a hurry, but sat there comfortably and slowly knocked the melon seeds.
Just when the second room of the Yang family's big house was still pondering whether to push off Wang Ming and let Yang Fangji enter the Tang Gate, and when the third room was pondering sending Yang Fangyue in, another theory began to break out on the market. said that it was originally the Yang family that the Tang family intended to be a three-jinshi and the same Kansai clan, but Yang Fang Ji Fangxin of the Yang family secretly promised the son of the Wang family, and the Tang family was disgraced, and married the Yang family, It was Mrs. Tang's idea, and the old lady was not enthusiastic. Now that there is no place over there, the old lady came forward and said that she had already fallen in love with the granddaughter of Lord Liu Yansong, who was far away in the capital, for the third prince. Lord Liu is the master of Taixue, peach and plum all over the world, there are countless children in the court, and what is even more talked about is that among these disciples there was once a champion and three tanhua, which was the only one in the dynasty. And Lord Liu never participated in the party struggle and the imperial struggle. Therefore, most of his disciples are also neutral in the court. Don't look at him as a mansion, a low-ranking five-rank official in the capital, but no one has ever dared to step on him.
The Tang family is the support of the queen mother, and now the third prince is a close minister of the prince, if the marriage is accompanied, the Liu family is the prince's family. And Liu Fuzun loves his granddaughter very much, and has been taught poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting by the eldest since she was a child. If this is the case, then Lord Liu will obviously bring his disciples into the prince's lineage. Suddenly, there were more people jumping around. The Yang family has always regarded themselves as the leaders of Shilin, which is also a great resource for their brothers in their careers in recent years. Although Mrs. Liu has strength, she has always been low-key, does not want to be public, and does not care about fame. Usually everyone didn't think about it, but at this moment, they found out that the Yang family's status in Shilin was far inferior to that of Liu Lao. The old lady of the Tang family is more discerning than ordinary people. For a while, the reason why Yang Fangji did not enter the Tang Gate was added by someone with a heart, because the Tang family was more optimistic about the help that the Liu family brought to the prince. In this way, the Yang family was even more unconvinced, and quitting the Wang family's marriage to win the Tang family was like a demon growing wildly in the hearts of the Yang family.
The old lady of the Yang family also became more determined to win the marriage of the Tang family under the encouragement of her sons and grandchildren, and even wanted to send her two granddaughters to the Tang family when she was hot, anyway, the Tang family also had many grandchildren. So he took his daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and girls to visit Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Tang frequently. After Mrs. Tang suddenly became hot, she felt very good, and she got a hint from her mother-in-law again, and this time she was smart enough to know that she had an advantage, and she should be hung up and sold. Although she is not strategic, but she was also born in a family in the capital, this kind of response is still free, giving them hope, but it will not be finalized, wait slowly. This time she was very willing to accept the old lady's instructions, and waited slowly, waiting for the old lady to give her next instructions.
And the old lady suddenly became very busy, and barely had time to meet the visiting female dependents, whether it was the Tang family or other families. On the contrary, the old man frequently summoned the general managers of major businesses, the general ledger and all kinds of stewards in the Zhuangzi, saying that it was for the purpose of the business of the year's accounts and salary increases. Although the Tang family acted in concealment, the Yang family had not been in vain in the court for so many years, and had their own means to find out many things, and what surprised them the most was the scale of the Tang family's business.
With the old lady's frequent mobilization of people from major businesses, many things that Xianyang people didn't care about entered the Yang family and paid attention to the Tang family's vision at this moment, and people suddenly found that almost half of the business in Xianyang City was related to the Tang family's business, from the inn and the medical hall to the wine workshop and the ironware shop. And in the capital, the business of the Tang family that they can screen can rival that of several wealthy businessmen in the capital. And the business income of the Tang family will be distributed to each child every year, even if the children who are not involved in the family business, they can have an income that is not less than the annual salary of four or five officials in the imperial court. And the eldest young master of the Tang family, the third young master, the fifth young master, the sixth young master, and the ninth young master are the shrewd, capable and willing among these children, and they each put their annual dividends into a lot of industries with good interest. It is said that a certain young master has a shop in half a street in the capital, but the rent is thousands of taels per month. When the girl of the Yang family gets married, the dowry that the family can prepare is only four or five thousand taels. After discovering this fact, even the stone lion at the gate of the Tang Mansion was much cuter in the eyes of the Yang family sisters. The goal has changed again and again, from only the third young master to the position of the young master of the Tang family, and in the end, as long as he enters the Tang family.
And the two Yang masters who are in charge of the Yang family see more importantly, the overall strength of the Tang family and the harmonious cooperation between the descendants and grandchildren. Whether they are in the army, in the army, or at home, the brothers have a harmonious relationship with each other, and they cooperate with each other to run the Tang family like a mysterious kingdom. With such a powerful Tang family, there is no need to win them over at all, no matter who the Tang family supports, whoever is the winner. So the choice is not theirs, but the Tang family, they have no bargaining chips that can be matched at all. Soon after, after the two of them saw the facts, they sent the most sincere surrender to the head of the Tang family, and then continued to do the clear stream on the surface. The Tang family has always been sincere and practical, not in-laws, so later Miss Yang did not enter the Tang Gate, and the Tang Family never deliberately felt sorry for them.
On the other hand, many people on Liu Yansong's side are thinking about the team they will either be able or should stand on because of the master's plan, and they have re-planned the arrangements that have been planned or made. There are also literati who support the Yang family arguing endlessly about who is the leader of Shilin, and they are angry with each other in various ways, and the top and bottom are not lively. And the Yang family got the hint of Mrs. Tang, and did not restrain the disciples, but let them play freely, stirring the water even more muddy.
Chen Biyan and the Queen Mother's sister and Master Qi Feng were very satisfied, looking at this chaotic tossing, doing what they had to do. And when Liu Lao stood up one day and said that his granddaughter was too young and wanted to stay at home for two more years and was not in a hurry to get married, not many people cared about the real cause of this incident. Liu Lao was also happy to quietly keep a low profile again, leaving those people to continue to fight openly and secretly. And Liu Wanzhen later married her favorite family in a very low-key manner, and maintained close contacts with the Tang family, which is a later story.
After this incident was launched, the two adults of the Yang family realized that they had far underestimated the abilities of the Tang Sect and the old lady of the Tang family. When they entered the court in recent years, the political situation was relatively stable, and the old lady of the Tang family had already retired behind the scenes. None of them had seen the old lady's methods.
The century-old Chen family was not only rewarded for saving the first emperor back then, but more importantly, the Chen family did not keep some secret recipes like ordinary doctors, in order to obtain rich medical fees. The heads of the family in the past know that the husband is not guilty and bears his guilt. As early as possible, all kinds of good prescriptions were turned into pills and paid tribute to the Tai Hospital, and the junior with outstanding qualifications was recruited in Jiangnan to teach medical skills. Whether it is in the hometown or in the land-giving Chen family, they try not to make enemies with others according to the family motto. Whether in Jiangnan or Beijing, there are many people who have more or less received the favor of the Chen family, and even have the grace of saving lives.
This Liu Lao was inadvertently saved by Chen Biyan when he was young, and later became a close friend, but it was just a boudoir woman who was inconvenient to let outsiders know about this kind of interaction. Since this matter does not damage his granddaughter's reputation and can help, he doesn't care. He also likes the young man Xinjie very much, but what he does is too risky, he still wants his granddaughter to live a safe and happy life, not to mention that the little girl has her own criteria to choose her husband, and Lao Fuzun naturally obeyed her wishes.
