"Sister!" Tang Xun rode his horse and rushed over in a dashing manner.

"Ah Xun?" Tang Ling's eyes flashed with surprise, "You don't help Daddy in the shop, what are you doing here with me?" ”

"It's my dad who knows that you are repairing your house in the suburbs to prepare for the enrollment of the children's room in the past two days, so he asked me to come over and help." Tang Xun got off the horse, he looked at the people in the courtyard who were already crowded in shock, he suddenly felt that he had come to the wrong place?

Doesn't it mean that there are no people in the suburbs?

Why, there are so many people here?

"Help..."Tang Ling laughed dryly, why did everyone gather to help today?

Tang Xun also scratched his head with a smile: "However, I don't think I need my help now, there are quite a lot of people here, Sister." ”

Tang Ling raised her eyes and looked at Tang Xun, she suddenly thought of something, and first turned her head to Xiao Yichen and said, "Mr. Chen, you go in first, I have something to say to my brother." ”

Xiao Yichen was also interested, nodded with Tang Xun, and then turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Tang Xun stared at Tang Ling curiously: "Sister, what's the matter?" ”

"Ah Xun, since Daddy asked you to come over to help, didn't you bring anything practical?" Tang Ling pulled Tang Xun and raised his eyebrows, as if hinting at something.

When Tang Xun heard this, he was surprised for a moment: "Actual things? ”

"It's just ......" Tang Ling was also a little embarrassed, where did his younger brother just come and ask him for money?

However, she really didn't want to owe Lin Duan a favor, and she returned the money as soon as possible, but she was fine.

"Huh?" Tang Xun was cloudy, he really didn't understand what Tang Ling meant.

Tang Ling lowered his head slightly, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice: "Ahem... Is it just that Daddy didn't let you bring some money? Just let someone else help? ”

After speaking, Tang Ling was embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Tang Xun.

"Ahh Tang Xun suddenly realized, "Sister originally said this. ”

"Did Daddy give you money?" Tang Ling's eyes lit up, and she looked up at Tang Xun with anticipation.

Tang Xun smiled: "Daddy did give me some money." ”

As he spoke, Tang Xun handed the money bag pinned to his waist to Tang Ling.

Tang Ling took it and looked at it: "Just... So little? ”

"Is there less here? Thirty taels of silver! Tang Xun exclaimed, "This is enough to send the monthly money of several families!" ”

When Tang Ling heard this, the mask was embarrassed, and she also knew that thirty taels of silver was a lot, but it was still a little worse than the fifty taels she wanted to give to Lin Duan.

Tang Xun saw that Tang Ling didn't speak, and immediately saw the embarrassment on Tang Ling's face, so he asked softly: "Sister, are you short of money?" ”

Tang Ling spread his hands, looked at the people who were busy in the courtyard, and reluctantly spoke: "Look at these busy workers in the courtyard, they are all money!" ”

"How much does Sister Need?" Tang Xun asked bluntly.

Tang Ling lowered his eyes, thought about it seriously, and then stretched out four fingers.

"Four taels?" Tang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, he thought he needed a lot of silver!

"Forty taels!" Tang Ling raised his voice to emphasize.

When Tang Xun heard this, he was shocked, and his eyes widened: "Sister! What do you want so much money for? ”

"What a lot!" Tang Ling immediately folded his fingers and counted, "The carpenter workers who repair the house alone are fifty taels." There is also a county lord who sent people from the Hou Mansion in Zhennan to help, and didn't give him a hardship fee? And our own family in Tangfu, don't you need to give a reward? As well as the desks that children need, as well as wooden beds for sleeping, quilts, teaching aids, etc., all of which cost money! ”

"......" Tang Xun has already listened to it.

Tang Ling glanced at Tang Xun and shook his hand: "Forget it, I'll think of a way to deal with money." ”

"You don't have to think of a way, forty taels, I still have it." Tang Xun patted his chest, "I'll take it to Sister Ah when I go home." ”

When Tang Ling heard this, he looked at Tang Xun with surprise and joy: "Ah Xun! Are you willing to lend money to Sister? ”

When Tang Xun heard this, he was a little unhappy and said: "Sister, we are all a family, why do you say such things outside the world?" What to borrow or not to borrow? If your words are heard by your father, maybe you will be lectured again! ”

"Thank you, Ah Xun!" Tang Ling was overjoyed.

"Sister, we are all a family, don't say such polite words!" Tang Xun pretended to be unhappy and said.

Seeing this, Tang Ling had no choice but to smile slightly.

But she also had a plan in her heart, whether it was the thirty taels given by Tang Shenzhi or the forty taels given by Tang Xun, in the future, she would return them in another way.

This is not something that she can't see outside, but what she should do, as a daughter and sister, should do, and she should have responsibilities and responsibilities.

"Then, Sister, I'll go inside to help?" Tang Xun looked at some houses, and there was still a shortage of people.

"Uh-huh!" Tang Ling nodded.

Seeing Tang Xun leave, Xiao Yichen walked over slowly, "Are you so short of money?" Hasn't the Ministry of Household already given the grant? ”

It stands to reason that the appropriations given by the household department are in line with the needs of the creation of the children's room, and the amount should be sufficient, why is Tangling so short of money?

Still need to rely on family help?

Could it be that her previous children's room was in a state of loss?

Tang Ling looked at the carpenter workers who were working hard, and said helplessly: "I didn't know that the county master would send someone to help at the beginning, so I went to the capital and paid a high price to hire carpenter workers to work." ”

"But when you came back, didn't you already see someone from the Hou Mansion? Why not fire those carpenter workers? Xiao Yichen doesn't understand, there is already free labor that is not needed, why spend a high price?

Tang Ling sighed: "Because these carpenters have already paid a deposit, and they can't be refunded." Moreover, the construction period here is indeed very tight, and with the help of the people of the Hou Mansion, it can only be completed on schedule. If there are no carpenter workers, the people of the Hou Mansion will be affected, and they will have to go without food or drink for three days to barely finish the work, so I can't use the people of the Hou Mansion like this, right? So... If the price is high, the price will be high..."

Xiao Yichen suddenly had a hard time understanding Tang Ling's choice at this time, was he too concerned about others and others, so he didn't care about his own predicament?

"So, the high price of carpenter workers makes you spend most of the household's appropriation?" Xiao Yichen has been able to calculate how many silver taels are left in Tangling.

"Hmm." Tang Ling nodded with difficulty.

"But you are so short of money, is it true that the widow's room you opened before is completely unprofitable?" Xiao Yichen was a little curious, it stands to reason that Tang Ling's widow's room still has some prestige in the capital, so it won't make any money, right?

Moreover, why do you have to hold on for so long when you don't earn a penny?

As soon as he heard the word "profit", Tang Ling almost laughed, "Mr. Chen, you think it's too easy to make money, right?" When I first started out in this children's room, I needed so many things that I almost spent my little coffers just to buy the wooden toys and textbooks for the children. ”

Saying that, Tang Ling was still a little distressed about her wallet, and she began to babble again: "Sometimes the children have some bumps, and the adults also come to make trouble, and when they meet unreasonable people, they can only use money to settle things." After coming and going, it's good that I didn't lose money to the end, and I still made a profit. ”

Xiao Yichen listened to Tang Ling's hard journey before, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, sullen, pressed in his heart, he couldn't imagine how Tang Ling survived alone.

"Then you didn't think about giving up?" Xiao Yichen asked.

"Nope." Tang Ling spoke without thinking, "As I said before, I opened this children's room so that young children can also learn knowledge. I didn't open it for profit at all, so I didn't care about money loss. ”

"Even if you are promoted in the future, you won't think about making a profit from the widow's room?" Xiao Yichen continued to ask.

"Of course not!" Tang Ling replied very firmly, this was her original intention, and she believed that she would always stick to it.

When Xiao Yichen heard this, he didn't answer again, he lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Tang Ling exhaled, waved his hand, and pretended to be chic: "That's it, what are you talking about." She quickly adjusted her mood.

Xiao Yichen suddenly looked at Tang Ling very seriously, and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "In the future, if there is such a difficulty, you can say it, and we will solve it together." ”

When Tang Ling heard this, her eyes flashed slightly, she was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay!" I have a hunch that there will be many problems in this children's room in the future! Mr. Chen, you have to be mentally prepared! ”

"Whatever the problem, it can be solved." Xiao Yichen said very confidently and confidently, which is his unique kingly demeanor as an emperor.

Tang Ling nodded slightly, then looked at the courtyard and said, "However, in the future, you and the county lord will help me, and you will tell me in advance!" I'm fine, and I'm not confused. ”

"Today's event is an accident." Xiao Yichen also looked at the courtyard, he didn't expect to come today.

Tang Ling looked at everything in front of him and said with a sigh of relief: "Just wait for the completion of this place, and you can officially recruit schoolchildren!" ”

"You... Are you sure you want to enroll here? Xiao Yichen looked around.

Here, he can be said to have experienced first-hand what it means to be "barren people".

"Or else?" Tang Ling was puzzled, "The place is set, if you don't recruit here, where will you recruit?" ”

Xiao Yichen pursed his lips and explained: "Not a single family here can be seen, you can recruit schoolchildren here?" ”

Tang Ling slowed down, and then understood what Xiao Yichen meant: "That is, recruit people in Tang Mansion first, and then send the children here?" ”

"You also need to prepare some rhetoric so that parents can feel comfortable sending their children to study in such a remote place." Xiao Yichen added.

Tang Ling listened, nodded thoughtfully, and then gave Xiao Yichen a praising look: "Mr. Chen is still thoughtful!" ”

"Mr. Tang, prepare for admissions. I still have something to do, so I won't stay long. Xiao Yichen glanced at the sky, remembered the unfinished recital in his imperial study, and he was suddenly a little ashamed.

"Huh? And that's gone again? Tang Ling stared at Xiao Yichen stunned.

"What, does Mr. Tang have anything else to tell me?" Xiao Yichen asked indifferently.

Tang Ling looked at Xiao Yichen carefully, recalling all the previous things, as well as the results she got from testing Qi Moyu, she became more and more curious about the person in front of her.

"Mr. Chen, what is your identity?"
