Chapter 51: The Tale of Shuangmei (II)

Tang Mei led her team to shuttle between various warehouses.

The new green horse she bought was only two years old, and she had never followed the old horse-drawn carriage, and she couldn't even understand the password, so the coachman had to train it from scratch. The big green horse is quite untamed, often turning his head and adjusting his head, neighing, or standing there staring at the white of his eyes. The coachman picked up his whip and whipped it to death.

Tang Mei sat in the car, quite impatient, lifted the curtain and saw that the coachman was tired and sweating, and the horse was beaten to the neck of the horse, and the hooves were kicked around.

Tang Mei asked the coachman, why did he beat the horse? The coachman said, "This beast can't be beaten." So Tang Mei got out of the car, snatched the horsewhip from the coachman's hand, and shook two whips.

To say, Tang Mei's strength is not as strong as that of the coachman, but the big green horse seems to be afraid of Tang Mei, hit it twice, his head sinks, and he doesn't lose his temper.

Tang Mei carefully inspected every day, so that Okura's affairs were in order. After getting familiar with the work, Tang Mei doesn't have to do everything as before. In the afternoon, when I returned to the governor's mansion, I began to ponder the matter of choosing the county lord.

She had already looked for Tang Qiu and told her about it, but Tang Qiu refused to admit it, and said that Tang Mei gave her a basin, and she was going to Zongzheng Mansion to sue Tang Mei. Later, Tang Mei told the man's name and the place where Tang Qiu's illegitimate son was hiding, so Tang Qiu couldn't help it. She relented, saying that she gave up this promotion opportunity, and helped Tang Mei to persuade the ten people to recommend Tang Mei.

We agreed to have lunch together and go to errands together in the afternoon. But lunch had passed, and Tang Qiu didn't come. It wasn't until about three o'clock (13:45) that Tang Qiu came to the governor's mansion with a small basket. Look at her smiling and grinning, and walk as lightly as if she was stepping on cotton.

"It's really damned, I said it would be a good morning, but the shopkeeper didn't let me go, just because the trickster I sent to my aunt was so capable, and the king of Luyang took a fancy to it, so I had to go to the secret room to talk. As a result, this statement will delay the hour. But niece, you don't have to worry, I've already told your third uncle's family and your seventh uncle's family. They said that since I had given up, of course they would have to recommend someone else. But if you recommend the sixth nephew, you have to see the sincerity of the sixth nephew. ”

Tang Meiyi frowned: "Sincerity? What sincerity do they want from me? ”

Tang Qiu was startled and said, "Yo, what's the matter, you just ask others with red lips and white teeth, don't you say it?" ”

Tang Mei said: "When you were looking for them, didn't you say it? ”

Tang Qiu said with an embarrassed look: "Isn't this one yard to one yard, and you have to remember your aunt's love for the six girls, if it weren't for the aunt's appearance, they might not even think about it, so they would recommend the nine girls." They all often go to the old lady's house to sit, and the nine girls and your second aunt don't look up and look down, if you don't show it, they can ......"

"Okay, auntie, don't talk about it. If that's the case, I think it's better to forget it. I don't have the money to show them. But let's talk about the ugly things in the front, if they don't recommend me this time, they won't come to the governor's office to ask me to do things in the future. Let's also one yard to one yard. ”

Tang Qiu promised that she would convey Tang Mei's meaning, and then she took out some preserved fruits from the small basket and put them on Tang Mei's table, and beckoned Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er to come over and eat.

Then she walked away with half a basket of preserved fruits, in fact, she had three little maids, and she didn't know where the maids were arranged by her, she came out by herself this time.

The list will be submitted tomorrow, so tonight, this matter will be implemented. And in the evening, Tang Mei asked Zhen Ping'er to go to Ninghou Mansion to inquire about the results, and Zhen Ping'er came back with a bitter face after hearing the results.

"Miss, I told you, don't be angry." The handsome big girl has a difficult face.

Tang Mei said with a cold face: "Let's say, no matter what the result is, it's not up to you to decide." ”

"Only the fifth prince's wife changed the recommendation, and the other nine people ......"

"Those nine have all changed to Lao Jiu?"

"Not really, two people abstained."

"Hmph, would you rather abstain than recommend me? Wow, it's so disgusting, so let's see later! ”

Tang Mei was so angry that she cried when she returned to Qinxiang Xiaozhu. first scolded those people for not showing favors, and then blamed themselves, saying that they usually don't move around favors, and when it comes to using favors, naturally there is no one.

Mama Wang said, our young lady is the best young lady, how many masters can be like our young lady, can do three times a day? But Mama Wang has been saying this for many years, and her young lady has not changed her temperament. All kinds of scenes and gatherings, I don't see her, and her popularity has always been bad.

Especially birthday parties and the like, she thinks it's a waste of money. Other big girls and little daughters-in-law get together and chant poems to play with wine, but she never goes, and she won't. If she loses in the game, she will also save her face, which will make everyone unhappy. often broke up because of her displeasure.

Let's just say that people like her can be popular. But it is precisely because of her character that she was targeted by Tang Kuan, and she was also recognized by the masters of the family and became the supervisor of Okura. Because she can pull down her face, she can guard the warehouse.

But if Tang Qiu, the number one, is to be the warehouse supervisor, then it will be repaid? In the first half of the year, the warehouse bottomed out. Even if others don't steal, Tang Qiu will steal too.

"Miss, if you don't eat, the canteen will be closed."

When the lamp was in charge, the son-in-law had not yet returned. Tang Mei sat on the couch and began to sulk again. Wang Jin'er asked in a daze.

Tang Mei asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”

Wang Jin'er said: "I've eaten it." ”

"Then leave me alone." Tang Mei got up and walked into the bedroom.

……

Su Bottle was not idle this afternoon, so he ran around because of the plum dyeing rank.

As the member of the criminal department said, it was Lord Shilang who asked me to do this, and I really didn't expect such a fork in the road. I'll give you an afternoon to figure things out, and I'll get back to me tomorrow morning before the meeting. If you're late, I'll report it to Lord Squire truthfully.

Mei Ran has no rank, but she "lied" to Lord Shilang that she has a product, which is a big or small problem. It all depends on Xue Pang's mood. If he's in a good mood, it's a misunderstanding, so to speak; If he is in a bad mood, he can be cured of the sin of plum dyeing. You are not so bold that you dare to run in front of the servant of the criminal department to deceive the officials?

"Boom!"

Mei Ran broke into Tong Yin's class room and threw a document she had copied from the military department in front of Tong Yin.

Tong Yin picked up the document and looked at it, and seemed to understand Mei Ran's intention to come here.

At this time, Su Yin first introduced himself to Tong Yin, and then told Tong Yin what had happened recently.

"At the beginning, I was still thinking that let Xiaomei deal with it in the county first, and if there is a shortage in the future, I will do it for her. I really didn't expect this to happen. Tong Yin said with distress.

"What does Tong Shuai think, what should I do now?" Su asked calmly.

Tong Yin thought for a while and asked, "What is the name of the criminal department member Wailang?" ”

Su Bottle said: "I heard that he is also new, and this matter can't be solved by him." ”

Tong Yin said: "It can't solve the problem, I just hope he can give me a day." I'm going to go to my father-in-law to ask for a vacancy. ”

Su Bottle asked: "Your father-in-law is ......?"

Tong Yin said: "Honglu Temple." ”

"Oh." Su Bottle nodded.

Tong Yin's daughter-in-law is the concubine daughter of the sixth master of the Meng family, and that daughter has no status in the family. And Tong Yin's father was the right minister of Shangshu Province in the previous dynasty. But it didn't take long for him to be deposed by the lazy emperor. And it's a waste to the end. Because his father wrote to the emperor, he hoped that the emperor would be diligent.

Later, Emperor Tiande ascended the throne and wanted to reactivate Tong Yin's father, but his father refused to go out of the mountain at that time. Within a few years, his father died.

Tong Yin said: "Even if there is a shortage in Honglu Temple, it will take a day to do this at the earliest." ”

Su Bottle was silent.

Tong Yin glanced at Su Bottle, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, if the second master of the Tang family can say a word...... there are a lot of shortcomings in the military department, especially at this juncture, it is really arranged casually." Moreover, I am familiar with the yamen of the military department, so I can do it tonight. ”

He mentioned this "critical eye", referring to the fact that Emperor Wanlong had recently killed many military personnel. Shun Teng checked like a melon, and a big official took a group of people to clean up. At this time, Luoyang Baguan, Jin Wuwei, Xuanjia Juncang, and Jingzhao Mansion all had many shortages of soldiers.

Su Bottle shook her head.

Tong Yin smiled bitterly: "I will get this matter done as soon as possible." ”

Although the matter has not been done yet, Su Bei feels that Tong Yin is not bad. After saying a few words of encouragement, he agreed to meet in front of the yamen of the Criminal Department early tomorrow morning. Then Su Bottle returned to the Criminal Department and found the staff to discuss whether he could delay the report as much as possible.

The clerk said, I can be accommodating, but if the waiter-sama takes the initiative to ask about it, I can't hide it for you. Moreover, the responsibility for this matter lies with Tong Yin, so it cannot be said that Mei Ran is here to deceive the official. So plum dyeing is not a big problem.

When these things were done, it was getting dark. Mei Ran had nowhere to go, so Su Bottle gave her money and lived in the mansion at the entrance of the Ministry of Punishment.

This mansion can be said to be a guest house attached to the Criminal Department. Public officials of the Criminal Department can rest here for free with official documents. But Mei Dye can't do it yet.

By the time Su Bottle returned home on a donkey and mule, it was already time to hold the lamp.

As soon as I walked into the Second Dao Courtyard, I heard Tang Mei shouting upstairs: "I came back so late!" ”

Su Bottle looked up at her: "Choking on medicine?" ”

Tang Mei said: "Is it tired of being with that surnamed Mei all day?" ”

Su Bottle ignored her and walked to the backyard by herself. But Tang Mei didn't give up and chased down. Ask Su Bottle, what's going on with the surname Mei?

Su Bottle told Tang Mei about today's incident. Tang Mei said, this matter is easy to do, I will go to the second uncle, arrange for her to go to Mozhou, and give her a six-grade official. With that, Tang Mei strode away.

"Hey, you're really going?"

"It's okay if you don't go, you have to promise me that you won't talk nonsense with her!"

"Oh..., I'm a decent person and never. If you don't believe it, you can ask Lin Tong and Zhang Hu. They know me. ”

"Hmph, I won't ask."

In fact, she had already asked, and in Lin Tong's mouth, Young Master Su was simply a eunuch. Sitting still, ice is clear and jade, never close to women.

Men, there is always a response between friends, cover up with each other. If Miss Eight asks Su Bottle, can Lin Tong raise a child in Wuwei privately? Su Bottle must have said no. So, what kind of noble person is my brother Lin? How can you do such a filthy thing?

Su Bottle's words can help Lin Tong. It's just that I don't know if Lin Tong's words helped Su Bottle or harmed Su Bottle.
