Steward Zhao, as the chief housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, is naturally very busy, and at the end of the year, his feet do not touch the ground. However, no matter how busy he was, he now had to put down the other things in his hand and focus on the most important thing--- investigating Su Bingcang.

Explain the matter at hand to his steward, and he set out to investigate Su Bingcang.

A person's superficial things are still very easy to investigate, and a day later, he reported the results of the investigation to Tang Shuyi, Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming respectively.

From Tang Shuyi's instruction to investigate the matter of Su Bingcang, and if there was any problem to find the two sons, he knew that Tang Shuyi meant that he wanted to slowly hand over the affairs of the mansion to the two sons.

Steward Zhao admires Tang Shuyi more and more, he can afford to carry things, and he can also let go of his rights. Let's not mention that the queen mother and the emperor often compete for power in the royal family, even in the big family.

Many ladies like Tang Shuyi, who take care of the eldest child in one hand, when the child is young, they take care of the affairs of the inner and outer courtyards, and when the children are older, they can take charge of themselves, and they are not willing to let go of the management rights of the outer courtyard and the discipline of the children. The end result is that the mother and son turn against each other, and the family is restless.

And after Xiao Yuchen and Xiao Yuming got the report of Steward Zhao, they went to Shi'an Yuan to find Tang Shuyi, they were used to it, and there were things to discuss as a family.

At this moment, a family of four was sitting in the hall of Shi'an Garden, and Tang Shuyi looked at the information handed over by Steward Zhao to investigate Su Bingcang:

Su Bingcang, 37 years old, from Shangjing. The family has been killing pigs for a living for several generations, and when it was his grandfather's generation, he donated a nine-grade petty official, and since then the Su family has been linked to officialdom.

His father, Su Tianpeng, is also a person who can drill camps, first married a concubine of a seven-rank general judge, and through this relationship, he was an errand of an arsenal deacon, and then promoted to an arsenal judge, eight-pin.

The two generations of the Su family have entered the officialdom, and they are all camps, although they are considered to have gains, but the bitterness of them cannot be said for a few days. Therefore, when it came to Su Bingcang's generation, they made great efforts to let their heirs study, and Su Bingcang was the best reader in the Su family's generation, and finally took the exam.

This is already great in the Su family, and people can already be justifiably recommended to be officials. After a series of operations by the Su family, Su Bingcang found a position in the military department after being promoted, and then went through the drill camp, and now he is the deputy envoy in charge of the grain and grass of the Northwest Army, Wupin.

This information also has the information of Mrs. Su Bingcang and the child, Tang Shuyi has read it several times, but there are no flaws. But this is unreasonable, if he has no grievances with Xiao Huai and the Yongning Marquis Mansion, why did he insist on sending Qiu Yunxiu and Qiu Yunshan back to Beijing, and when the northwest generals objected, he secretly sent people back.

To say that he has no purpose, Tang Shuyi will not believe it.

Putting down the information in her hand, she looked at her two sons and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Check everyone who has something to do with Su Bingcang, even the servants of his family." Xiao Yuchen said: "I don't believe he will send people back for no reason." ”

Tang Shuyi nodded.

At this time, Xiao Yuming said: "Check whether the second prince has any contact with him." ”

He always felt that this matter was inseparable from the second prince.

Tang Shuyi nodded again, "Just do what you say, and let Steward Zhao send someone to investigate." We don't have to be too anxious, Qiu Yunxiu and Qiu Yunshan are dead, and they were sent back by Su Bingcang, even if someone wants to bite something, we are not afraid. ”

Her words seemed to reassure the three brothers and sisters, and the expressions on their faces relaxed a lot.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year, the normal New Year should be pasted with Spring Festival couplets and hung red lanterns, but the Hou Mansion has not yet been filial piety, and these things are exempted. However, the maids and maids in the house have all changed into new clothes, with smiles on their faces, and the flavor of the New Year has also come out.

After dinner, Tang Shuyi took out three big red envelopes, one for each of the three brothers and sisters, and pressed the New Year's money. The three of them happily accepted it, and then the family began to watch the New Year while playing horses, and only then went back to rest after the end of the day.

Early the next morning, the three brothers and sisters came to Shi'an Yuan early. Tang Shuyi sat in the middle of the hall, and the three brothers and sisters knelt in front of her and kowtowed, saying New Year's blessings.

Xiao Yuchen: "I wish my mother good health and long blessings." ”

Xiao Yuming: "I wish you all the best and be happy every day." ”

Xiao Yuzhu: "I wish my mother a beautiful face forever, and all wishes come true." ”

Then the three of them prostrated again.

Tang Shuyi looked at the three brothers and sisters kneeling on the ground, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart. She crossed over, and wanted to lie down and enjoy the life of this luxurious wealthy lady, but she didn't expect things to come out one after another. Although I sometimes feel tired, watching the three siblings grow up little by little, the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction cancels out all the troubles in life.

"Hurry up." Tang Shuyi said with a smile, and then asked them to sit down, and the tea and fruit snacks were served on the green bamboo and green clouds, and the family talked and laughed while eating.

The next day, the family of four had breakfast and went to the Tang Guogong Mansion to pay New Year's greetings. In the hall of Tang Guogong's mansion, Tang Shuyi took the three brothers and sisters to kowtow to Tang Guogong.

Tang Guogong laughed, got up and personally helped the person up, and looked at Tang Shuyi and said with emotion: "I will grow up after experiencing wind and waves, my son has grown up, and I am relieved for my father." ”

Several things that have happened in recent months, Tang Shuyi's handling methods and methods, have made Tang Guogong happy, and at the same time, he is also relieved, at least his daughter can protect herself.

Tang Guogong's words made Tang Shuyi's eyes moist, and after Xiao Huai's death, Tang Guogong was also heartbroken for the four of them. She stretched out her hand to support Tang Guogong's arm, and said with a smile: "My daughter has grown up, you don't have to worry about me in the future." You, just eat and drink, just enjoy your family. ”

Tang Guogong laughed, "Okay, I'll take my resignation after the New Year." ”

"Okay."

The father and daughter went to the study as they spoke, and the brother and sister followed behind. After sitting down, he talked about Qiu Yunxiu and Qiu Yunshan, and Tang Guo said fairly:

"You don't have to worry too much, the battle in the court is nothing more than a matter of interests. Xiao Huai is gone, Yuchen and Yuming have not yet entered the court as officials, and their interests cannot involve you. Even Xiao Huai's former enemies, when the emperor still cares about his residual power in the Northwest Army, he will not make any moves, unless those who have no brains. ”

For example, the second prince and the Liang family.

Tang Shuyi and the three brothers and sisters all nodded after hearing this.

"Yuchen goes out to travel, let's go after the New Year." Tang Guogong looked at Xiao Yuchen and said, "You don't need to bring too many people, there are more people, but the goal is big." Just bring two good ones. ”

Xiao Yuchen nodded yes.

Tang Guogong looked at Xiao Yuming again, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are a lot stronger, practice martial arts well, and go back to hunt with your grandfather." ”

"Okay, make boots for your tiger and leopard." Xiao Yuming said.

Tang Guogong laughed again, looked at Xiao Yuzhu lovingly, and said: "Don't be too rigid about those etiquette, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are popular, just know the fur, do whatever you want, just be happy." ”

Xiao Yuzhu nodded, then giggled.

Tang Guogong also smiled, "That's how I taught your mother back then, look at how good it is now." ”

Speaking of his proud face, Tang Shuyi wanted to cover his face, this old man thinks that his daughter is good anywhere!
