Chapter 21: The Stubborn Sixth Miss (Part II)
After work, Su Bottle took Mei Ran to the market to buy a bed.
Miss Mei was born recklessly, a little arrogant, not like Tang Mei, who calculates everything and pays attention to everything. Su Bottle bought her a bed, she didn't care whether it was expensive or cheap, as long as she could sleep; She is not picky about what she eats for three meals a day, as long as she can eat.
After buying a bed, there is not much money left in Su Bottle's pocket. The big restaurant must not be able to afford to eat, Mei Ran saw that Su was embarrassed, so she said that she wanted to eat pies. So the two of them bought pies at the nearby pancake stall and stood on the street to eat them.
Seeing Su Dashao wearing brocade clothes and accompanying her to eat pies on the side of the road, Miss Mei suddenly had a sour nose.
In the past, she used to stand on the side of the street with Master to eat, but she never felt this kind of sour nose.
The pie tasted good, and Su Bottle was greedy and feasted. After sending Mei Ran back to the yamen and giving a few more instructions, he took a donkey cart and rubbed his stomach home. The donkey cart stopped in front of the palace, and the coachman was sent twenty dollars, and he walked home.
As soon as I got home, I saw Tang Wan blocking the door, saying that Miss Six had been waiting for her uncle to come back for dinner. Su Bottle said, I have eaten it. Then the little maid ran to report the incident.
Although this is not a big deal, although Su Bottle has not been in contact with Tang Mei for a long time, Su Bottle still feels that something is wrong. Sure enough, Tang Mei was unhappy and ordered her uncle to go upstairs and eat a little more.
Su Bei smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, it is okay to meet this kind of forcible favor.
The Tang family's canteen delivers meals regularly and quantitatively every day, and if someone has special requirements for food, they must talk to the canteen in advance.
In the past, when the Guogong Mansion was rich, which little lord wanted to eat anything, he would casually put forward it. However, during the war, the family's funds were tight, and in order to save expenses, Tang Kuan imposed food standards. If it exceeds the standard, you will have to add your own money.
Tang Mei can be regarded as generous today, adding eight coins of silver to a banquet for her son-in-law, but her son-in-law did not eat it, which made Tang Mei more and more angry at this meal.
A candlelight dinner ended in a very unpleasant atmosphere, and Tang Mei sat on the couch with a cold face.
knew that she was in trouble, so Su Bottle didn't take the initiative to leave, just waiting for her to speak.
"My uncle went to work in the county on his first day, I don't know how he felt?"
"Not bad."
"It's just nine grades, and my uncle still thinks it's good?"
"Why don't you let your brother work harder and get me a big official?"
"Whew! You're not done yet. ”
Tang Mei was about to get angry, but she bit her lip and pressed the anger back, gasped and said, "In my opinion, you should not be this little official." When you are from the ninth grade, not only will you not make people feel honored, but you will feel ashamed. You might as well stay in the warehouse and help me. It is better for me to appoint you as the co-organizer of Okura than to go from Jiupin. You said no? ”
"I don't think so."
"You!"
As soon as Tang Mei glared, Su Bei waved her hand, signaling her not to be so angry.
After she restrained her anger, Su Bottle said, "I guess, I can still stay with you for a month." During this month, you can ask me any questions. I know everything, I can't say anything. ”
Tang Mei frowned and said, "But a lot of things happen temporarily, so I won't go to the county to find you now." And the original people in the warehouse, there are a lot of rats, and I want to replace them. But most of the people I want to change are from the families of several masters, and there must be a convincing reason to get rid of them. ”
Su Bottle said: "When the new official takes office, you will pay attention to fire prevention and theft prevention, and formulate relevant rules." Especially for fire prevention, those who dare to step on this line can be dismissed even if there are no consequences. ”
Tang Mei's eyes are huge, and she can be seen clearly when she moves slightly, but now her eyes move more frequently, and there are lights flashing in her eyes, I don't know what the hell she is thinking. She sighed, and after a few heartbeats, she said, "Starting tomorrow, you won't go to work." I'll send someone to the county to call you sick. ”
"Alas! It's not quite right, I've just been on my job......"
"Nothing out of place." She interrupted Su Bottle's words and knocked on the table: "I am the head of the family, you have to listen to me." ”
Su Bottle sat there, didn't look at her, raised his finger and pointed at her: "Okay, I'll put up with you for a few more days." ”
With that, Su Bottle stood up and walked away.
Looking at the departing figure of her son-in-law, Tang Mei sat on the couch with a blank expression.
Just being pointed at by Su Bottle's impoliteness, she actually had no temper, and when Su Bottle walked away, she realized the anger of hindsight, stood up, ran to the window, and shouted at Su Bottle: "You dare to point at me!" Hey, you stop! Come back and apologize to me! ”
Su bottled that he couldn't hear it, and turned around the moon gate and returned to the snail hut.
……
Zhao Tian, the crown prince in green clothes, had just met a person in the concierge of Miss Seven's house, and the prince was ecstatic after seeing that person. But in front of his subordinates, the prince has to maintain a high and cold demeanor, so he can't see the appearance of ecstasy.
In other words, the prince is really a good actor, with a long figure, handsome appearance, and a good grasp of language, demeanor, and expression. This is the same as when he was beaten.
When they saw the prince, they all praised the prince's good demeanor, even if he was wearing a small green coat, he couldn't hide the king's spirit.
The prince has already contacted the princelings, and the princelings are running in a step-by-step manner. Under the leadership of Zhao Gong, the king of Teng, and Cao Tong, the secretary of the crown prince and the prince of the Ministry of Rites, the princelings have taken a series of measures. And inside the palace, the crown prince also has confidants. Now it can be said that everything is ready, just waiting for the return of An Guogong.
Because he was in a good mood, Zhao Tian seemed to have forgotten about the beating he had been beaten a few days ago, and that night, he also spent a good night with Miss Seven.
Although the gift was not bought, but seeing that the prince was beaten for buying a gift, Miss Seven was quite moved, even more moved than seeing the gift, and burst into tears.
The prince also burst into tears, pretending to be dying, and kept chanting: As long as the concubine is happy, it is worth it for me to be killed. The only regret in this life is that I couldn't be a real husband and wife with Zhaobao, Yunyun.
Miss Seven's figure and appearance are all of the highest quality, and after tasting it that night, the prince was very satisfied. The first time a couple tasted it, it was the time when it was sweet and greasy, and the prince was tired a lot in the past few days.
The prince was sitting in the gatehouse, imagining a better future, when he suddenly heard the sound of the sixth lady Tang Mei shouting in front of him, which shocked Zhao Tian to retract his mind, and hurriedly left the gatehouse and ran to the seventh lady's house.
"Zhaobao, come and let me hug."
"Yo, the prince is quiet, Hugh wants people to hear. Shame on you. ”
……
When Chen Bantou heard that Deputy Su was on sick leave, and it was an indefinite leave, he jumped up with concern. It was only said that Deputy Team Leader Su should recuperate at home with peace of mind, and he could take as long as he wanted. As for the affairs in the yamen, don't worry, everything will be taken care of in this class. If the boss comes to check the post, the head of the team will definitely work around for Deputy Su.
Seeing that Chen Bantou was so easy to speak, the little servant in the Guogong Mansion ran back without even giving a gift, and reported to Tang Mei truthfully. Tang Mei praised Chen Bantou as a reasonable person.
Obviously, Tang Mei at this time still has too little social experience and can't guess Chen Bantou's true thoughts. However, she knew that if she grabbed Su Bottle and didn't let him go to work, she had to help her sort things out of Okura.
The reason why she was in a hurry to clean up those people was not exactly what she meant, but what Tang Kuan meant.
Tang Kuan felt that those people were all rats and needed to be cleaned up, but most of those people entered the warehouse through Tang Kuan's back door, Tang Kuan was not good at doing it himself, so he asked Tang Mei to do it for him, and the brother and sister sang black and white together.
Now, those people with a little power in the big warehouse are all surnamed Tang. Usually stealing things from outside, the workers don't dare to care about them. Now that there are six young ladies in charge, it is about to change. Those cousins and eldest nephews are going to be unlucky.
"Baoyu, you come and help me draw up the rules. After you've drafted it, I'm going to read it myself. ”
It has been ten days since Su Bottle came to the Guogong Mansion and they have met many times, and this is the first time Tang Mei called Su Bottle. But when she said those two words, it sounded awkward, as if she was chewing pigskin.
Su Bottle looked up at her, only to see her with a straight face, squinting her eyes, and her gaze fell in the opposite direction to Su Bottle.
It seems that it is really difficult for her to say the word "Baoyu", looking at her reluctant look, it seems that she has suffered a big loss.
Moreover, the word "review" is obviously a humble word, which is used by oneself, such as asking a teacher to review an article for a student. How can anyone use it the other way around like her?
Perhaps, this is why after saying the word "Baoyu", I felt that I had lost my identity, and deliberately used the word "appreciation" to find my balance. But after saying this, she felt embarrassed again, so she didn't look at people.
Let's just say that this woman is not good at speculation, and she has a lot of things to do.
Su Bottle ignored her at all, picked up a small pen, and wrote a little bit on the paper.
Seeing Su Bottle's pen, her eyes slowly moved to Su Bottle's desktop. At that time, she was sitting on the couch, in a higher position, but the distance was a little farther, and she couldn't see what Su Bottle was writing clearly. Can't help but lean forward. Su Bottle suddenly looked up at her, she turned her head suddenly, gathered her already regular updo, and pretended not to look.
Looking at her fake appearance, Su Bottle was poked and laughed, and laughed.
Tang Mei's eyes were lowered, and she looked at her coldly. Seeing that Su Bottle couldn't stop laughing, Miss Six was annoyed, grabbed the wooden brush on the couch, and was about to throw: "You are stupid, why are you laughing!" ”
"I'm laughing at fools."
"You! You're looking to fight! ”
Tang Mei came with a brush in her hand, and her son-in-law ran away, moving like a rabbit.
Tang Mei chased to the window and stomped her feet in a hurry: "Hey! Don't run, come back and finish the rules! ”
"Wait, I'm going for a walk."
"When will you be back?"
"I don't know."
Su Bottle wandered around, turned to Miss Seven's house, and suddenly saw a man in black flashing quickly. Although the man lowered his head and was extremely fast, Su Bei still recognized the person and couldn't help whispering: "Chen Qianyi......?" ”
