Under Tang Kuan's repeated questioning, Miss Six's psychological defense finally collapsed, and she admitted that Su Ping helped her change the account book. You must know that this questioning process was not short, because Miss Six had planned to keep it a secret.
But as the old saying goes, Tang Kuan, the economic governor-general of Qinghuafang, is not so easy to fool. He could tell that there was an expert behind Tang Mei's guidance, and he might have guessed that that person was Su Ping.
Faced with the little sister's repeated concealments, Tang Kuan was not angry, because he knew deeply what a strong person the little sister was. She loved face, and she cherished this opportunity to become Okura Supervisor. He forced her to
, asking her to put down her face and admit that it was already difficult for her.
And after she admitted it, she started crying, crying very sadly.
Although she just cried and said nothing, Tang Kuan knew why she was wronged. The phoenix that used to fly in the sky was so proud, but now it has lost its wings and fallen into the mortal world, and still wants to gain the respect of others through hard work.
The grumpy Tang Kuan changed his usual behavior and patiently comforted his little sister for a long time.
The reason why she is called Little Sister instead of Sixth Sister is because Tang Mei is the youngest sister born to the same mother as Tang Kuan. She is also the only sister who has not married out of Qinghuafang.
Finally, Tang Kuan decided to recommend Tang Mei to the family to be Okura Supervisor. The Fourth Young Master was very prestigious in the family, and his proposal was supported by the masters of Zongzheng Mansion. Tang Kuan also planned to hold a ceremony for Tang Mei at Zongzheng Mansion tomorrow.
A small inauguration ceremony. Tang Kuan knew that this ceremony was very important to Tang Mei.
"There's nothing wrong with having your sister-in-law help you." Tang Kuan smiled: "Just don't let an outsider like him control our warehouse."
"He is my man, so of course he must listen to me." Tang Mei said unconvinced: "How can I let him become a guest?"
Tang Kuan smiled noncommittally.
Although the inauguration ceremony will not be held until tomorrow, Tang Mei plans to visit the warehouse today. There are three warehouses in total, namely the East warehouse, the West warehouse and the granary.
Tang Mei returned home and called to her maids: "Let's go to Dongdacang and have a look."
Bringing more people with her would make Miss Six less nervous. She not only brought four maids at home, she also called Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er from the inner house. They were all women. She felt that the yin energy was too strong, so she called again
A few swordsmen will accompany you.
Miss Six specially changed into her favorite, most expensive and most high-end dress. It was very thick and looked like a ball of flame and a plump peony flower. She held her hands in front of her body with the arrogant attitude of a princess.
Walking.
But when she came to the warehouse, she felt that she had done something very stupid. Lime was being unloaded in the warehouse at that time, and the dust was so violent that it made her breathless.
In an instant, a layer of dust fell on her noble clothes, and the top of her tall, shiny bun turned white at first glance, as if there was a layer of frost.
After a violent cough, she walked out in embarrassment. She decided not to enter the warehouse again. But after thinking about it, she still went in because she wanted to understand the work site.
"Miss, let's go to Yicang. Cloth is stored there and it's much cleaner than here." Zhen Ping'er said softly.
"Ahem, do you think I don't know?" Tang Mei covered her nose with a silk handkerchief and said, "I came here on purpose. I want people to see me and let them know that I know everything and no one else."
Trying to fool me."
The stubborn Miss Six insisted on reading all the eighteen warehouses in the three warehouses. When she returned home and saw herself in the mirror, she was first amused by her embarrassed look, but soon her tears stopped.
Control flows out.
It shouldn't be like this. She was supposed to be the Crown Princess, and what would the Crown Princess be in the future? Queen? Queen Mother? Queen Mother? But she was suddenly abandoned by the Crown Prince and adopted a commoner son-in-law. Now she needs to work hard
Be a good supervisor and regain the respect of others.
These words were like ice thorns, constantly stinging Miss Sixth's proud heart.
If it was just the dust that made her miserable, she could bear it, after all, a bath would be all that was needed. But what annoyed her was that she couldn't understand many things in the warehouse.
Looking at the messy product names on the ledger, the countless miscellaneous groceries piled up with mismatched numbers, and the strange worker leaders, strange workers, and strange cargo owners, she felt that she was a little overwhelmed.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel sad, and I sat on the couch in a daze with a sad face.
"Miss, the warm water is ready."
Zhen Ping'er did not go back to the inner house directly, but planned to stay in Qinxiang Xiaozhu for a while, because she had discovered that the young lady was not in a good mood. She guessed why the young lady was in a low mood, and hoped to take the opportunity of helping the young lady bathe to have a relationship with her.
Talk about it.
"Miss, the warm water is ready."
After calling her for the second time, Tang Mei regained consciousness. Zhen Ping'er smiled and said, "Ping'er has been walking with the lady for a while now, so I have some opinions."
"Oh? What do you think?"
While talking, Zhen Ping'er helped Tang Mei take off her towering bra, and then took off the gold hairpin and bun. A four-foot-long black hair poured down from the sixth lady's head.
"This slave girl thinks that the young lady needs some helpers to go down and check various warehouses for the young lady. How can the young lady, who is so rich and beautiful, suffer such a sin?"
"That's easy to say. I have only a few trustworthy people around me. I'm going to let you go. Can you do it?"
Taking off the heavy outer robe, and then the small cotton lining, only a layer of underwear as thin as a cicada's wings was left. The sixth lady's round figure was fully exposed. She was slender, plump and uneven, with a pair of long white legs.
They are like two jade pillars. If men see them, they will all covet them; if women see them, they will envy them. There are many cryptic details in the ravine, so I won’t go into details here.
"Perhaps, I can do it. If I let my uncle advise the young lady behind the scenes, and let this servant charge into battle for the young lady, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for the young lady?"
Tang Mei raised her eyebrows: "Why, in your eyes, I am a waste and don't have to do anything? Then why do others respect me and look up to me? What's the point of me being a supervisor?"
"How is that possible? The young lady holds the power of appointment, dismissal and finance. Who dares not to take the young lady's lead? Besides, the husband-in-law and the slaves are all the young lady's people. The credit we have made belongs to the young lady. In the end, it is still you.
Leadership is meritorious.”
…
I have obtained the position of Supervisor Okura and am just waiting for the inauguration ceremony tomorrow.
Half of Miss Six's wish was achieved, but the work pressure that followed made her feel uneasy.
I had always thought that it would be enough to get a position, and there was no need to lower my profile and ask for the showman, but now it seems that it is too early to say that.
Miss Six chose to be patient, continued to lower her profile, and formally invited her husband to work in Okura to advise her. Even if it took a month, or ten days, to familiarize herself with the work before he left, she wouldn't have to go too far.
panic.
Therefore, the sixth lady did not eat dinner, so she waited for her husband to come home to have dinner together, pretending to be casual and chatting with him about work.
But the husband-in-law died somewhere and kept waiting, making the sixth lady look out the window from time to time. She was even a little worried that the husband-in-law might not come back after he went to work in the county.
Thinking again about my attitude towards my adopted son-in-law these past few days, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was a possibility.
They used sarcastic remarks before, but then they got into a big quarrel and confiscated one of his orbs.
After stimulating my son-in-law three times in a row, he really won’t come back, right?
Thinking of this, Tang Mei frowned and sat down on the couch. She unconsciously opened the drawer with her left hand and saw the orb. The crystal clear jadeite stone would look very nice if made into a necklace and pendant.
She held the orb in her hand, lost in thought, and suddenly her lips moved: "Just from the ninth rank, it won't make him give up his identity as the son-in-law of the Duke's family."
Although brides-in-law are often looked down upon, it also depends on where they are. For example, there are many sons-in-law who are brides-in-law. Who can look down on them? After all, the father of the princess princess cannot afford to offend.
And Tang Mei feels that her father is no less than a prince. This is indeed the case, especially in Chang'an Road, her father Tang Qiong is basically a local emperor. In Luoyang, the capital, his father is also a very important figure. Only the prince with real power
Only in this way could he interact with Duke An Guo, and Duke An Guo would not pay attention to those princes and princes who had no real power.
"If he doesn't come back, let my brother go to the county. I can destroy him with just one sentence. Hmph! Don't you dare to come back?"
Although her father Tang Qiong is the person with the highest status, her fourth brother Tang Kuan is her backbone because the fourth brother dotes on her very much, unlike her father Tang Qiong who is very strict with her children.
Miss Six has a bad temper and is stubborn. Others dare not criticize her, but her father does not tolerate her. Because of her bad temper, she is often scolded by Tang Qiong. But even though she was scolded again and again, she could not change it.
Tang Qiong whipped her with a whip, but she was like a little leopard, refusing to accept the beating, and the beating became more and more vigorous, shouting to her father, "beat me to death!"
Tang Qiong is a Siberian tiger. Her behavior of stroking her beard made Tang Qiong angry, so she really wanted to beat her to death. She slapped her with arms and legs. However, a group of brothers interceded, stopped her, and added
Tang Qiong's determination to kill her was not strong enough, so he left the matter alone.
This incident happened two years ago, after Tang Mei had a quarrel with her second aunt (Mrs. Tangning). After being beaten, she was so angry that she refused to see her father, and Tang Qiong did not take the initiative to pay attention to her. She was very sad, but she couldn't lose face.
Come and beg her father to pay attention to her again.
Perhaps because of this incident, when the royal family proposed to change the crown princess later, Tang Qiong did not raise any objection. Tang Qiong felt that the temper of the sixth daughter was really not suitable for entering the palace, and in comparison, the seventh daughter Tang Zhao was more suitable.
In fact, Tang Zhao's temper is not very good, but Zhao is still better than Tang Mei.
The Tang family has a bad temper, which is inherited from ancestors. It is said that their children have bad tempers, but in fact Tang Qiong himself has the worst temper. He would kill someone with a glare.
"Miss, my uncle is back. But he said he had already eaten outside." Maid Tang Wan came upstairs and said.
"Have you eaten? I've been waiting for him for a long time, and he has already eaten?" Tang Mei became angrier as she thought about it, and said, "Then let him come up and eat some more."
