Chapter 35: The Gift of the Sixth Lady (Part II)

"Put it on and come with me."

Let's just say that these six ladies will not simply lower their posture to give gifts.

The last time she brought two children, and this time, she gave an order with a high profile.

Maybe she thinks that doing things like this can not only move Su Bottle, but also realize her wishes, the key is not to let herself lose her identity.

But she looks a little weak-hearted, because in several confrontations with Su Bottle, she has encountered many accidents, which makes her have some psychological shadows. Therefore, after she gave the order, she added a supplement to relieve the irritation of Su Bottle, and she was worried that Su Bottle would send her an accident again.

"Your old clothes weren't good enough. I'll give you this today, you wear it, and accompany me to the monthly meeting of Zongzheng Mansion. I sewed this dress by hand, and it was not easy to get a stitch and a thread. You see, my hands are pierced. ”

As she spoke, she stretched her hand forward, but before Su could take a closer look, she retracted it again. As if fearing that the gaze of the untouchables would desecrate her holy hands.

Although Su Bottle didn't see the eye of the needle on her finger, Su Bottle thought that she was not necessarily lying, after all, the eye of the needle was small and could heal quickly, and it was not uncommon for her to be clumsy when she made needle fingering, and it was not uncommon for her to prick her hand.

"How long will it take?" Su Bottle waved his hand and motioned for Tang Mei to put his clothes on the bed, while he continued to sit on the edge of the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, and asked calmly.

Miss Six squinted her eyes, looking at her like that, she was probably angry again.

In her imagination, Su Bottle should stand up, salute respectfully, thank you with a smile, and gratefully stretch out her hands to take the clothes away. After taking the clothes, the board was put away, and Miss Six saluted and thanked Miss Six again, at which time Miss Six would say a few words with the most elegant gestures and encouraging tones.

But in fact, this is not the case, this son-in-law actually put on a score, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat there contentedly. also used his lowly hand, gesturing, to command the sixth lady.

"Poof!" Tang Mei threw her clothes on the Su bottle bed, hugged her shoulders, and stared at Su Bottle with her face like cold water.

Su Bottle was silent, staring at her.

After a while, Su Bottle said, "Hey, what are you doing in a daze?" I ask you, how long does it take for a meeting? ”

"Why are you asking this question, are you afraid of delaying the treatment of that woman?"

Su Bei said solemnly: "Please answer my question positively." ”

She didn't look at Su Bottle, her eyes moved away, and she glanced to the side: "I don't know, and I can't decide the meeting time of Zongzheng Mansion." ”

"How long does that usually take?"

"Maybe it's the morning, it's the first time I've participated."

"Oh......"

At this meeting, she was to complete the impeachment of the three Okura co-organizers. And those three co-organizers are the sons or grandsons of the masters of Zongzheng Mansion. This move is quite a bit of a tiger skin.

Tang Mei was born on the seventh day of November in the third year of prosperity, and today is the first day of the third month of the seventh year of Tiande, her virtual age is eighteen, and her age is sixteen years and one hundred and ten days. It is normal for a young girl who is a high school student to be nervous when she attends a high-level meeting for the first time in her life. That's why she came to invite Su Bottle to accompany her.

There are a total of seven masters in the Tang Clan's Zongzheng Mansion, and Tang Qiong is the eldest master, but he did not return to Luoyang on time. However, according to the usual practice, if the eldest master is not at home, he will not delay the normal progress of the Zongzheng Mansion meeting. Today, the second master Tang Ning will preside over the meeting. Among Tang Mei's impeachment lists, there is Tang Ning's son, Tang Guanwu, the co-organizer of the granary.

That's tricky.

However, Tang Mei is not without helpers, because Tang Qiong is not at home, his place will be replaced by the fourth son, Tang Kuan. Presumably Tang Kuan will speak for his sister.

This time, Tang Kuan gave Tang Mei a "list of seventeen people" and asked her to eliminate the rats according to the list. If only in terms of the number of people, Tang Mei has already exceeded the task. With the help of Su Bottle, Tang Mei fired eighteen in one go. But this does not include the three co-organizers.

"Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, the main contradiction in this meeting is on your fourth brother. This is the war he started, and you, just his ...... Trailbreaker. I'm sure your fourth brother has done a lot of behind-the-scenes work. While he expelled the three co-organizers, he would definitely think of a way to compensate. Otherwise, the three masters will definitely oppose it strongly, resulting in the failure of impeachment. ”

Tang Mei had a cold face: "You are right." ”

"No, it's not blind."

"And how do you know that?"

"Well..., the mountain people will do the math."

Su Bottle began to cause accidents to Tang Mei again, Tang Mei looked coldly and expressed disbelief: "The fourth brother is not completely sure, at least Tang Guanli is very difficult." ”

Tang Guanli, the third master of Tang Ren's family, co-organized by Xi Okura, is the one who looks like a bull terrier. The reason why his family is difficult is because Tang Ren only has two sons. There are two more grandchildren, but they are both too young.

Su Bottle stood up and said, "Today, if you can impeach one, you will be considered a victory." To impeach two is to overfulfill the task. Do you think, if Tang Guanli is the only one left, can't you cure him? ”

Tang Mei suddenly smiled brightly: "That's right." ”

Tang Mei felt as relaxed as if she had unloaded a stone, holding a stack of documents, including her carefully prepared speech, and walked briskly.

However, before leaving, ask Su Bottle to change his clothes quickly, and he must arrive at the venue at the time of the hour, and he must not be late.

Su Bottle is also quite looking forward to it, if today's meeting goes well, Tang Mei will be able to sit firmly in the position of supervisor. Then you can go to work in the county. In the past ten days, Mei Ran has sent letters twice, asking when Su Bottle will go to work.

Mei Ran doesn't know many words, it is estimated that it is about five hundred, read the file, and look at the dictionary from time to time ("Shuo Wen Jie Zi" by Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty), and Mei Ran is so tired that she is dizzy. I feel much more tired than practicing martial arts. The county order required her to solve ten old cases within three months, and ten days passed, and Mei Ran had no clue. She probably didn't read more than ten dossiers.

The Tang Clan's Zongzheng Mansion was actually located in the Tang Ancestral Hall, and when I walked under the towering Tang Clan's meritorious archway, I felt a chill. This kind of cold is not much different from the feeling of walking into a cemetery. And outside the archway still talking and laughing people, as soon as they walked through the archway, immediately restrained their smiles, and walked seriously to the blue tile house with a tall lintel in front.

Tang Mei had to bring Su Bottle over, in fact, Su Bottle couldn't speak at all today, and it would be good to let him attend the meeting.

Those who can enter the Qingwa house are the core figures of the Tang family. At the monthly meeting, the patriarchs of the eight generals will also be invited. In fact, they don't have much power, and they came here just out of etiquette considerations, indicating that the Tang family has not forgotten the heroes.

The meeting began with a speech by Tang Ning, with almost no nonsense, and as soon as it began, he introduced the form of war in the Longyou region. Judging from the enemy's performance, they are already in a state of exhaustion, and the Tang Clan's Shence Army has begun to organize an effective counterattack, and it is expected that the war will be ended before the winter of this year.

After talking about the major events of the war, he also talked about some major events of the government and government that happened last month, mainly involving the interests of the Tang clan's gate lords. The selection of the lord of the gate valve was also mentioned. And finally, it comes to economic matters.

Downing criticized the state of the economy, as Thanh Hoa Fong was now in financial crisis. Even eating needs to be regular and quantitative, which is something that Tang has never done since he entered Qinghuafang.

"In response to the question raised by the second uncle, let me say a few words."

Tang Kuan, the fourth son, who was the economic governor of Qinghuafang, took over the conversation: "In order to deal with the war, I sent most of the money to Chang'an. At that time, I stressed that the money left was only enough for food. So in every aspect, save money. Especially all kinds of ceremonies, but if you can not do it, you will not do it, and if you can do it, you will keep it simple. And my proposal was also approved by the family, and everyone said that they would fully support my plan. But what do you do in reality? Weddings, funerals, birthdays and full moons, who is delayed? What's not going to ask me for money? In fact, I had long thought that this would happen, so I also set aside a sum of money. But even so, it is not enough. Why? Because there are many people who keep pumping oil and water from the seven major factories and the three major warehouses, last year's income was greatly reduced. If we continue to smoke like this, our Qinghua Fang will be drained, and we won't even be able to afford to eat. So I decided that to completely change this situation, the seven major factories and the three major warehouses must be rectified. ”

From this moment on, there was some smell of gunpowder coming from the venue.

And Tang Sigongzi's drastic plan to cut people has aroused the dissatisfaction of some masters, so there is basically no progress in the affairs of the seven major factories, and Tang Kuan does not seem to expect to solve all the problems in one go at this meeting. And what Tang Kuan insisted on, or the main battlefield he chose, was the three major warehouses.

It can be seen that Tang Kuan has made sufficient preparations for this meeting. He has already won the support of Tang Jiong, Tang Li, Tang Ding, and Tang Sui, and what he needs to face now is Tang Ning and Tang Ren.

After a not very fierce debate, the final meeting decided to dismiss Tang Guanwu, the son of Tang Ning, and Tang Junru, the eldest grandson of Tang Jiong, from the co-organizers, and only retain the co-organizer of Tang Ren's son, Tang Guanli, the "bull terrier". And he is no longer in charge of the West Okura, but transferred to Mei Pavilion and Tang Mei as his deputy.

And Tang Ning's concubine Tang Liu, Tang Jiong's concubine Tang Qing, and Tang Sui's concubine Tang Fei were appointed as the three major warehouse owners, and to put it bluntly, they were bookkeeping. The power of the main bookkeeper is much smaller than that of the co-organizer, and they also have equal rights to supervise the accounts of the major warehouses.

Zhen Ping'er, the account supervisor of the West Warehouse, Wang Jin'er, the account supervisor of the granary, and the account supervisor of the East Okura, will be served by Tang Mei herself. Tang Mei couldn't stay in the warehouse and eat ashes, so let Zhu Tao and Feng Die go.

Then the meeting ended, and from beginning to end, Tang Mei was not given the opportunity to speak, and Tang Mei's carefully prepared speech script was useless.

Looking at Tang Mei's regretful expression, Su Bei couldn't help but laugh evilly.

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh! ”

She rolled her eyes and left, just took two steps, and walked back: "If you want me to say, you still don't go to work in the county." ”
