Concubine Kong did not answer Tang Mei's question immediately, but handed over the sleepy girl in her arms to her mother-in-law. The girl instinctively woke up and reached out to grab her mother's clothes, but when she fell into her mother-in-law's arms, she quickly fell asleep.

When the mother-in-law walked out of the house with the little girl with a red face, Concubine Kong said: "Your fifth aunt is gone like this, and it's time to select the county lord." I heard that the princess is going to elect her sister-in-law (Tang Qiu), but I want to nominate Miss Six. ”

Due to the existence of the "Taiping Alliance", "Daliang Law" and "Daliang Li" have many different regulations from the previous dynasty, such as the three concubines on both sides of Tang Qiong's house of Anguo Gong, all of whom have titles and titles.

So the little girl Tang Yuan who was holding in Concubine Kong's arms just now was the twelfth lady in the Guogong Mansion, not a girl who was not ranked. But Tang Yu is not a descendant after all, so that little guy is not qualified to inherit the family title.

Listening to Concubine Kong's words, Tang Mei sighed and said: "Historically, unmarried women have been selected to become county lords, and I have already accepted it, I am afraid that I will not be elected by the family." And according to the usual practice, the selected woman will go to the palace to live for a while, but I have just become the governor of Okura, and I can't leave for a moment. Not to mention the daytime, even at night, people often come to me for approval. ”

As she spoke, Tang Mei seemed to be deliberately showing off, and held up the stack of ledgers in front of her for Concubine Kong to see.

Concubine Kong smiled wisely: "Convention? What is convention? The reason why I chose those unmarried ladies was to prepare to stay at home. Therefore, the successive county lords have paid for money, not married. Since Miss Six is also a burden, this does not conflict with convention. I'll leave my words here, and I will definitely do my best to nominate Miss Six to be the county lord. ”

Tang Mei nodded: "Okay, I understand Aunt Kong's thoughts." ”

Miss Six's eyes are too big, so she is easy to leak, and she is not good at disguise, and what she thinks in her heart is easy to be seen.

Seeing that Miss Six really had the heart to be the county lord, Concubine Kong felt that she had given away this big gift. Not to mention whether the sixth lady really became the county lord who was equivalent to half a nun, or not, the relationship between them could be regarded as established. After all, there is her love for supporting Miss Six.

Why is it said that the lord of the gate valve is half a nun?

When you become a county lord, you are not living for yourself. Many times, it is necessary to attend some meetings on behalf of the family. In addition to weddings and funerals, New Year's festivals, high ascensions, full moons, birthdays, housewarming and other conventional favors, there are still many messy human favors to move around, such as the old lady in King Qing's mansion vomiting blood, the old lady Meng is blooming below, and the second old man of Ximen can't anymore.

In the past, the freedom of life of the county lords was quite high, but later because of the problem of life style, Anguo Gong was annoyed.

For example, the newly dead Tang Gui slept wherever he went, which simply disgraced the face of the Tang family. So the prince Tang Qiong ordered that the two powerful grandmothers stay in the county lord's house and keep an eye on the county lord's life all day long. Anyone who is inappropriate will scold when he opens his mouth, and he will beat him when he raises his hand. In the final analysis, it is the grandfather of the country who has the most power, and the consequences of annoying the tiger should be so.

Therefore, choosing to be the county lord also has to bear the burden of being the county lord, there are too many rules and regulations, which makes people not so comfortable. However, judging from Tang Mei's performance, she doesn't seem to feel that abiding by etiquette will make her feel constrained. In other words, for so many years, Miss Six has always been a benchmark figure in her life style.

Not to mention ordinary men, even the crown prince, he has never bargained with her.

"Don't blame my aunt for being too talkative, my aunt has more important things to say. As soon as the princess died, Princess Changxia was about to pass through the door. Although I heard that Princess Changxia is gentle, but in the past, why wasn't Princess Fan a delicate lady? But when she came to this mansion, she couldn't help but change. She doesn't want to fight with others, but others want to fight with her. As a result, she fought with a few old sisters, and she was angry, no wonder her life was so short. And Lin and I are all here today because of helping her. ”

Concubine Kong sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not a person who likes to fight with others, if Princess Changxia doesn't take the initiative to embarrass me, I'm willing to get along with her." But I also have to plan ahead, and before she comes, I still want to be closer to Miss Six. Let's huddle together, she will look at us highly, so as not to pinch us as soft persimmons in the future. ”

The two of them talked a lot that day, and Tang Mei didn't tell Su Bottle what they said specifically. Lin Kong's two side concubines put the children here in Tang Mei, saying that they would stay for a few days and be close to each other. That night, Tang Mei wanted to hand over the two children to Su Bottle, so that Su Bottle could symbolically teach the two children martial arts. But Tang Mei never expected that she would be categorically rejected by Su Bottle.

The reason given by Su Bottle is that I will not teach. In other words, my martial arts can't be taught to children who have no foundation, otherwise it is easy for big things to happen, so you should take the child back.

"Su Baoyu, don't go too far!"

Tang Mei handed over a pair of babies to the maid, and the maid took the children away. Tang Mei stayed in Su Bottle's hut, pinched her waist and said, "I personally sent the child to you, don't you think I'm condescending?" I'm so condescending, what else do you want? ”

Su Bei looked coldly: "Sixth Miss Gui stepped into the cheap land, it really gave me Su Baoyu face, I should be very grateful to you." Shall I kowtow to you and show my gratitude? ”

Tang Mei sneered: "Then there is no need, the hypocritical salute, Miss Ben is not subject to that." ”

Su Yu took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, kicked off his boots, lay down on the bed, covered the quilt, blew out the lamp, turned around, turned his back to Tang Mei, and said nothing.

In the dark, Tang Mei stared: "You get up for me!" ”

Su Bei didn't speak, raised a finger, pointed to the door, and motioned for Tang Mei to go out. Then he hooked his finger again.

Tang Meiyi frowned: "What do you mean by hooking your fingers?" ”

Su Bottle pretended to be half-asleep, and his voice was muffled: "After you go out, remember to close the door." ”

Tang Mei found that Su Bei was neither strong nor weak, a man of flesh and blood. It's like a steamed rice cake that has been put for a day, saying that it is hard or not, and whether it is soft or not, it is really infuriating.

I really wanted to lift my foot and kick him, but after thinking about it, Miss Six didn't do that, but stomped away. She grunted as she walked, and she couldn't make out what she was saying. It probably seems to mean that you have to teach it, and if you don't teach it, you have to teach it, and you have to put the two children in your house tomorrow anyway.

Tang Mei has a total of four maids, because she became the supervisor of Okura, and she didn't want to be on night duty in the governor's mansion, so she left Zhu Tao and Feng Die in the governor's mansion to work the night shift for her. As a result, there are only two little maids left in Miss Six's house.

Eleven-year-old Tang Ting stayed in the gatehouse, and twelve-year-old Tang Wan stayed in her house. Tang Wan came to her son-in-law every morning and evening to ask if there was any clothes to be washed, even if she was taking care of her son-in-law.

Miss Six had no experience in taking care of children, so she chose a hut where the two children could sleep together.

Tang Wan had been busy for a day, and as soon as she had settled the children, she returned to the small outhouse in Miss Six's bedroom, lay down and fell asleep.

But the two children were very excited to come to the new place and couldn't sleep. Especially the little boy named Tang Yan, although he was only six years old, he was extremely precocious, he reached out and pulled Tang Yan who was sleeping beside him: "Sister, don't sleep, get up and play." ”

"What's the fun?"

"My mother said that the sixth sister-in-law is good at martial arts, let's go learn it."

"Oh."

They are the same age, Tang Yan is only two months older than Tang Yan, and girls and boys at this age are about the same physique, and the two of them are almost as tall.

Tang Yan is not as lively and naughty as Tang Yan, but she is very willing to play with her little brother. Although she was a little sleepy, she still rubbed her eyes and sat up, put on her clothes sleepily, and ran out with Tang Yan.

The two aristocratic children of the Guogong Mansion, with fine skin and tender meat, fat cheeks, are wearing brocade clothes, and they are both wearing double pill boy buns, like the golden boy and jade girl in the New Year painting.

In the middle of the night, I came to knock on the door of the Su bottle.

Su Bottle wondered, got up and opened the door, and saw that it was two little dolls. The two dolls were good-looking, and Su Bottle liked it, so they introduced them into the house and asked what they meant. Tang Yan said that he wanted to learn to kick the Khitan people out of the ring. Su Bottle said, don't worry, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning.

At night, Su Bottle was not sleepy, and at this time the side of the street was still open, so Su Bottle took the two children out of the back door and walked out of the back door of the Guogong Mansion along the wall of Miss Seven's house. I was going to talk to the guards who were keeping vigil, but I found that there were no guards keeping watch at the back door today.

Although he felt a little incredible, Su Bottle didn't meddle with anything, but took the two children directly to the side street. After a while, Su Bottle held a child in one hand, and the children held the rock sugar gourd with one hand and jumped back.

Enter the back door of the Guogong Mansion, then walk along the wall of Miss Seven's house, return to Miss Six's house, and sit in the hut. Su Bottle said, after eating the rock sugar gourd, you will go back to sleep. The two children said yes. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of wind and muffled humming from the backyard.

Hearing the sound harshly, it was not like a good thing, Su Bottle hurriedly held down the two children and told them to keep quiet. Tang Yanren was a big ghost, and agreed seriously, and then Su Bottle gently pushed open the door and walked out, jumping onto the roof. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of the horn on the watchtower, and the arrow with a whistle made a sharp whistle, and flew towards the house of Miss Seven.

Su Bottle raised his head and saw several swordsmen chasing a white-robed man in Miss Seven's courtyard to slash and kill, Miss Seven was not afraid, but stood at the window on the second floor with a crossbow machine, firing downward from time to time.

Su Bottle said secretly: What a brave woman!

Hearing the sound of the horn, the Great Sima Guards rushed wildly, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a bald-headed warrior bore the brunt of it, wah-wow-wow screaming, and slammed into the door......
