Through the west window, the sunset will reflect the incense of the small building red, the county lord's study is lit with a furnace of incense, the cigarette is ethereal, and behind the smoke line is the Loulan county lord wearing an embroidered phoenix purple robe. She held her head high, her white neck exposed, and her arrogance was indescribable. Su Bottle sat on the seat with his head bored, too lazy to look at her.

After throwing out the words just now, the county lord's head was raised even higher, and the towering cloud bun seemed to be about to fall. But soon after, she lowered her head again and stared at Su Bottle coldly. Because of the dilemma of being expelled, Su Bottle sat there with an indifferent expression and did not react at all.

"Aren't you afraid?" She asked, slantingly.

"Afraid it's useful?" Su Bei said indifferently: "Your Tang family, unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, and make good means." ”

Tang Mei stared: "You are hateful, before I finished my words, you will draw conclusions and criticize." I can tell you that our Tang family is not that kind of person. I have already told my brother that it is up to me to decide whether you want to stay or not. ”

Su Bottle understood, Tang Mei wanted to sell well, but unfortunately the sales effect was not good, so she was a little annoyed.

Tang Mei said in an irrefutable tone: "The fourth uncle and the fourth brother's face is to be recovered, I order you to go to the fourth brother and the fourth uncle's house tonight to make amends." Did you hear that? ”

Su Bottle said: "I offended them, this is your fourth brother's idea." Everyone understands in their hearts, do you still need to apologize? ”

"But the problem is, people don't know."

"Then I don't care."

Tang Mei was so angry that she swallowed her saliva, and only said after a while: "Then I will take you to the fourth uncle and fourth brother's house to sit down, and I will say to the outside world that I am going to make amends." That's all right, right? ”

Su Bottle thought for a while and said, "It's pretty much the same. ”

Then Su Bei followed Tang Mei to her fourth uncle Tang Jiong's house.

Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, a court official of the third grade, has a wealthy family, and he is not a problem.

When they went, Tang Jiong was drinking and chatting with a few friends. didn't avoid everyone, Tang Mei made her intentions clear. Tang Jiong knew it, but he still educated it, and finally said: "It's all a family, there's nothing to worry about, pay attention next time." ”

This passage can not only resolve the so-called face problem, but also reflect the broad-mindedness of Lord Fu Yin, he kills two birds with one stone.

Later, Tang Mei took her son-in-law, who had been deposed, to the inner house.

The old lady Xue sent the eldest young master and wife to greet Tang Mei, and the main hall came to sit. Then Su Bottle saw a large group of women and children. After sitting for half an hour, I only listened to the whine in my ears, like a flock of ducks, and I was dizzy when I heard Su Bottle.

During the conversation, I learned that the old lady of the Xue family was also from Daoguangfang, and she was a relative of Xue Pang, the servant of the Criminal Department.

It is worth mentioning that in officialdom, it is easy not to discuss kinship.

left Tang Jiong's house and went to Tang Kuan's house, at this time Tang Kuan was singing and fighting with a group of Kabuki people at home, and he was having a good time. Tang Mei said that she brought Su Bottle to apologize to her brother. Tang Kuan was wearing a robe and painting a martial arts face, only to say that the family had a slight misunderstanding, so there was no need to say more.

Then Su Bei followed Tang Mei to the house of the fourth prince's mansion, and the fourth lady Fan was angry in the house, just because Tang Kuan was having fun with the beautiful concubine, but he didn't take care of their mother and son. Seeing that the sixth sister-in-law was coming, she couldn't help crying and said something complaining.

After all these were done, it was already dark, and the maid carried a lantern beside the county lord, and the group went home.

It was spring, and it was especially warm today, so Su Bottle strolled in a good mood, browsing the spring breeze, and fell behind the team. Tang Mei suddenly stood on her feet and turned to stare at Su Bottle: "What I asked you to do, did you do it?" ”

It's broken, Su Bottle forgot about it.

Su Bei had an idea, and pretended to regret: "I said that I would come this evening, but unfortunately the county lord was not in Xiaozhu, and the matchmaker pounced on it and missed it." ”

Tang Mei stared at Su Bottle with distrust, but she didn't say anything, and turned her head away.

In fact, there are loopholes in Su Bottle's words, but Tang Mei didn't drill the horns.

Perhaps, she felt that Su Bottle's ability to say this sentence had already given her face. If you continue to talk to Su Bottle, I don't know what kind of moth Su Bottle can produce, but it will lose this face.

Since I met Su Bottle, I have encountered more accidents, which made Miss Six a little overwhelmed.

……

Emperor Zhao Tian of Wanlong eliminated many eunuchs and palace maids, and "invited" the old imperial concubines other than the Empress Dowager Han out. So he recruited many eunuchs and palace maids.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites also began to collect information on the unmarried women of the nobles, preparing to enrich the harem for His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, the concubines of Emperor Wanlong first considered their family background, followed by their appearance.

However, Emperor Wanlong felt that those noble ladies were not fun, and it was still women from the people who were more interesting. No, a few days ago, he just recruited eighteen big-eyed palace maids for the Changqiu Palace, and yesterday he brought back twenty-three little Huaiyang girls.

These twenty-three people were very handsome, and Emperor Wanlong was very satisfied. wanted to start, but was forced by Tang Zhao to stare at the side, and he never succeeded.

He asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect the family information of the twenty-three girls, and ordered each prefecture to send a letter of condolence to the girls' families, saying that the girls had been hired by Ouchi.

While this is not the best outcome, it is already comforting for families who have lost their children. The mothers who slapped their thighs and cried some time ago are no longer crying. Those anxious fathers, their hanging hearts also fell back to their original places.

And they know that their daughter is beautiful, and when they enter the palace, isn't it possible for the emperor to take a fancy to them?

It's a pity that they don't know that entering the palace is not necessarily a good thing. When Tang Zhao saw the twenty-three handsome Huaiyang women, his eyes were like pearls, as if he saw a feud.

But now Tang Zhao is not the queen, she decided to endure it.

Moreover, Tang Zhao had already prepared in his heart, the emperor could not have only one daughter-in-law, and he would have to enrich the harem sooner or later. But there is one condition, those people must listen to the queen. Including the Queen Mother, you also have to listen to the Queen. After all, Empress Dowager Han is just an ornament.

Although he couldn't be ruthless to these little girls now, Tang Zhao still thought of a way to treat them, and said to Zhao Tian quite generously: "Your Majesty, look at these palace maids, they are handsome. Why don't you choose a few to serve Your Majesty? ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Tian perked up, but he felt that there was something wrong here, so he said: "I have always been clean and self-conscious, and I am by no means a womanizer. Zhaobao, don't test me, right? ”

Tang Zhao said: "Your Majesty's dragon body involves the national ancestor, so naturally you have to clean yourself." But as an emperor, there must be six palaces to match in order to comply with the etiquette law. Concubines have the responsibility to select good concubines for His Majesty. ”

"Really?" Zhao Tian was so happy that he wanted to rub his hands: "Zhaobao really thinks so?" ”

"How dare you deceive the emperor."

"Well, Zhaobao chose for me!"

Lustful, Zhao Tian was fooled.

Tang Zhao secretly observed those little girls, and found that those who had personalities and would be sultry, so he couldn't keep them. Just in case.

Tang Zhao said that if you want to serve the emperor, you must be a complete body, a concubine, and check on behalf of the emperor.

Then Tang Zhao pulled out the group of palace maids who had characters and could be sultry, and did their hands and feet when they examined their bodies. As soon as the results of the examination came out, Concubine Tang was furious.

"It's not a young girl, blend into the palace, and be beheaded!"

The palace maids were so frightened that their legs weakened and fell to their knees.

"This concubine is merciful and will not kill you. and considering that you were far from home, and that you were lonely, he took care of you, and sent you to the princes and the princes and the princes as slaves. ”

Taking advantage of the emperor's arrival in the court, Tang Zhao sent away the little girls who were crying and wiping away their tears and shouting wronged. But as soon as they cried a few times, they were slapped by Hu Rong and didn't dare to speak.

As the old mink temple said: Who has wronged you? Concubine Tang said that you are not a young girl, you are not! Say more, kill the head!

"Lord Yu, Ouchi sent two palace maids to Mrs. Cao, but Mrs. Cao said that the girls in her house were enough, so she sent them to the Guogong Mansion. The two side concubines discussed just now, saying that there was only one grandmother beside the county lord, two big girls and four little girls, which did not meet the specifications in the second grade county lord's house. So he wanted to send these two palace maids to the county lord's mansion. ”

The big girl in the inner house came to Qinxiang Xiaozhu to make her intentions clear.

Hearing this, Tang Mei said: "Speaking of which, I am planning a big warehouse, and there is a shortage of manpower around me, so it is time for them to come." ”

So Tang Mei accepted Wu Xiaoxiao and Yang Liu'er, two twelve or thirteen-year-old palace maids. Seeing the two little girls, Tang Mei frowned. Heart: Two little things that are good demons.

Tang Mei knows Tang Zhao very well. In other words, they not only look alike, but also have similar thoughts. She instantly understood why Tang Zhao wanted to send this group of palace maids out. If such a little goblin stayed by Zhao Tian's side, wouldn't he have taken his soul away?

Tang Mei also knew Emperor Wanlong Zhao Tian very well, and that kid's notoriety had already spread. Tang Mei used to worry about this, but now she doesn't need to. This distress should be left to Tang Zhao to suffer.

……

The two little palace maids were sent to Mrs. Cao's house in the morning. I ate at noon and sent it to the Guogong Mansion. The two side concubines discussed in the afternoon, and sent Qinxiang Xiaozhu in the evening.

At that time, Su Bottle was playing chess with Zhu Tao in the backyard. This is a newly bought backgammon because the previous game was thrown away by Mama Wang. After playing chess, they went back to the house separately, and no one came to tell Su Bottle that the county lord had accepted two goblins.

And they are two quite characterful and quite sultry.

At night, Su Bottle was thinking, put all the money in his hand together, go to a few more squares tomorrow, choose a house, and start his own real estate investment.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Bei took the money and the golden knife with him, walked out, and when he passed by Qinxiang Xiaozhu, he met two little girls, who were ready to fetch water under the command of Zhen Ping'er.

"Huh? Isn't this Big Brother Su? Wu Xiaoxiao said in surprise.

"Yikes! Really, it's Brother Su! Yang Liu'er trotted over: "It's really pitiful, Brother Su lives here?" We're really lucky! ”

I still remember that day in front of the Mansion of the Criminal Department, among a group of little girls, there were two lively little girls who trotted over and asked Su Bottle, when would they send them home? Someone asked again, will you be able to see Brother Su in the future?

That's them.
