Let's just say that Miss Six will not simply lower her profile to give gifts.
Last time she brought two children, but this time she gave a high-profile order.
Perhaps she thought that by doing things this way, she could not only impress Su Ping, but also realize her wishes. The key was not to let herself lose her status.
But she seemed a little guilty, because she encountered many accidents during several confrontations with Su Ping, which left her with some psychological shadow. Therefore, after she issued the order, she added a supplementary paragraph to ease her fear of Su Ping.
Excited, she was worried that Su Ping would give her another accident.
"The clothes you had before were not good enough. Now I will give this to you. You can wear it and accompany me to the monthly meeting of Zongzheng Mansion. I sewed this dress by myself, stitch by stitch, it is not easy. You
Look, my hands are all pricked."
As she spoke, she stretched her hand forward, but before Su Ping could take a closer look, she retracted it again. As if she was worried that the eyes of a pariah would desecrate her holy hand.
Although Su Ping did not see the needle holes on her fingers, Su Ping thought that she might not be lying. After all, the needle holes were small and could heal quickly. Moreover, she was clumsy when doing acupuncture, so it was not uncommon for her hands to get pricked.
"How long will it take?" Su Ping waved his hand and signaled Tang Mei to put her clothes on the bed, while he continued to sit on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed and asked calmly.
Miss Six narrowed her eyes. Seeing her like that, she was probably angry again.
In her imagination, Su Ping should stand up, salute respectfully, say thank you with a smile, extend his hands gratefully, and take away the clothes. After taking away the clothes, the board should be put away and handed over again.
The sixth lady saluted and thanked her. At this time, the sixth lady would say a few words with the most elegant gestures and an encouraging tone.
But in fact, this was not the case. The son-in-law actually put on a show, crossed his legs, and sat there contentedly. He also used his humble hands to make gestures and command the sixth lady.
"Pfft!" Tang Mei threw her clothes on Su Ping's bed, hugged her shoulders, and stared at Su Ping with a face as cold as water.
Su Ping remained silent and stared at her.
After a while, Su Ping said: "Hey, why are you in a daze? Let me ask you, does the meeting take a long time?"
"Why do you ask this question? Are you afraid of delaying that woman's recovery?"
Su Ping said seriously: "Please answer my question directly."
She did not look at Su Ping, but looked away and glanced aside: "I don't know, I can't decide the meeting time of Zongzheng Mansion."
"How long does that usually take?"
"Maybe all morning. It's my first time to participate."
"oh……"
At this meeting, she will complete the impeachment of the three Okura co-organizers. And those three co-organizers are the sons or grandsons of Zong Zhengfu. This move is quite similar to seeking skin from a tiger.
Tang Mei was born on the seventh day of November in the third year of Xingsheng, and today is the first day of March in the seventh year of Tiande. Her actual age is eighteen, and her full birthday is sixteen years and one hundred and ten days. A little girl of high school age, for the first time in her life
It's normal to be nervous when attending a high-profile meeting. That's why she invited Su Ping to accompany her, being strong on the outside but fierce on the inside.
There are seven masters in the Zongzheng Mansion of the Tang family. Tang Qiong is the eldest master, but he did not return to Luoyang on time. However, according to the usual practice, the eldest master is not at home and will not delay the normal progress of the Zongzheng Mansion meeting. Today, Tang Ning, the second master, will
Presided over the conference. Among Tang Mei's impeachment lists was Tang Ning's son, Granary co-organizer Tang Guanwu.
This is very tricky.
However, Tang Mei is not without helpers, because Tang Qiong is not at home, and his position will be taken 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 Shuoshu according to the list. If only based on the number of people, Tang Mei had already overfulfilled the task. With the help of Su Ping, Tang Mei opened the
Except for eighteen. But this does not include three co-organizers.
"Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. The main conflict in this meeting lies with your fourth brother. This is the war he initiated, and you are just his... pioneer. I believe that your fourth brother has already done a lot of things behind the scenes.
Work. When he fires the three co-organizers, he will definitely think of a way to compensate. Otherwise, the three masters will definitely oppose it strongly, causing the impeachment to fail."
Tang Mei said with a cold face: "I guess you were right."
"No, this is not a lie."
"Then how do you know this?"
"Well..., the mountain people will figure it out."
Su Ping started to cause accidents for Tang Mei again. Tang Mei looked coldly and expressed disbelief: "Fourth brother is not completely sure. At least it will be difficult for Tang Guanli to handle."
The third master, Tang Guanli, the concubine of Tang Ren's family, and Xi Dacang, the one who looks like a bull terrier, co-organized the event. The reason why his family was in trouble was that Tang Ren only had two sons. He also had two grandsons, but they were both too young.
Su Ping stood up and said: "Today, if you can impeach one person, it will be considered a victory. If you impeach two, it will be an overfulfillment of the task. Do you think that if Tang Guanli is the only one left, you still can't control him?"
Tang Mei suddenly smiled: "That's true."
Tang Mei felt as relaxed as a stone had been lifted from her heart. She hugged a stack of documents, including the speech she had carefully prepared, and walked away briskly.
But before leaving, Su Ping was asked to quickly change her clothes. Chenshi must be at the venue and will never be late.
Su Ping is also looking forward to it. If today's meeting goes well, Tang Mei will be firmly in the supervisory position. Then she can go to work in the county. In the past ten days, Mei Ran has sent letters twice asking Su Ping when he will go to work.
.
Mei Ran didn't know many characters, probably only about 500. He read the files and looked through the dictionary from time to time ("Shuowen Jiezi" by Xu Shen of the Eastern Han Dynasty), which made Mei Ran feel dizzy from exhaustion. He felt much more tired than practicing martial arts.
The county magistrate asked her to solve ten old cases within three months. Ten days passed, and Mei Ran had no clue at all. She probably didn't read more than ten files.
The Zongzheng Mansion of the Tang Family is actually located in the Tang Family Ancestral Hall. When you walk under the towering Tang Family Meritorious Memorial Arch, you will feel a chill. This chill is similar to the feeling when you walk into the cemetery. And outside the arch, there is still a chill.
The people who were talking and laughing immediately stopped smiling as soon as they passed the archway, and walked seriously towards the blue-tiled house with tall lintels in front.
Tang Mei insisted on bringing Su Ping with her. In fact, Su Ping couldn't speak at all today. It would be good if he could attend the meeting as a non-voting delegate.
Those who can enter the Blue House are all the core figures of the Tang family. The heads of the eight general families are also invited to the monthly meeting. In fact, they have no power. They are here just for etiquette considerations to show that the Tang family is
Never forget the heroes.
The meeting started with Tang Ning's speech. There was almost no nonsense. He introduced the form of war in the Longyou area at the beginning. Judging from the enemy's performance, they have fallen into fatigue, and the Tang's Shence Army has begun to organize an effective counterattack. It is expected that before winter this year
, can end the war.
After talking about the major events of the war, he also talked about some major government affairs that happened last month, mainly those involving the interests of the Tang clan. He also mentioned the selection of the princess of the clan. Finally, he talked about economic matters.
Tang Ning criticized the economic situation, because Qinghuafang is now in financial crisis. Even meals need to be rationed on time, which is something that has never happened since Tang entered Qinghuafang.
"In response to the question raised by my second uncle, let me say a few words."
Tang Kuan, the fourth son of Qinghuafang Economic Governor, took up the topic: "In response to the war, I sent most of the money to Chang'an. I emphasized at that time that the remaining money was only enough for food. So in
We must save money in all aspects. Especially all kinds of rituals. If we can't do it, we won't do it. If we can do it, we will do it simple. And my proposal is also approved by the family. Everyone said that they will fully support me.
Plan. But how do people do it in reality? Weddings, funerals, birthdays and full moons, who is delayed? What is it that I don’t ask for money for? In fact, I have long considered that this situation will happen, so I deliberately
A sum of money has been reserved. But even so, it is still not enough. Why? Because there are many people who are constantly pumping oil and water from the seven major factories and three major warehouses, which greatly reduced last year's income. If the withdrawal continues like this
, our Qinghuafang is about to be drained, and we can’t even afford food. So I decided to completely change this situation, and the seven major factories and three major warehouses must be rectified."
From then on, there was a smell of gunpowder in the venue.
The fourth son of the Tang Dynasty's drastic plan to kill people aroused the dissatisfaction of some masters. Therefore, there was basically no progress in the affairs of the seven major factories, and Tang Kuan did not seem to expect to solve all the problems in one go at this meeting. And Tang Kuan did not expect to solve all the problems in one go.
What Kuan insisted on, or in other words, 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 Xun. What he needs to face now is Tang Ning and Tang Ren.
After a moderately heated debate, the meeting finally decided to remove Tang Ning's concubine Tang Guanwu and Tang Jiong's eldest grandson Tang Junru from their co-organizer positions, and only retain Tang Ren's concubine Tang Guanli as co-organizer. And he is no longer in charge of Western University.
Instead, he was transferred to Mei Pavilion to serve as Tang Mei's deputy.
Tang Ning's concubine Tang Liu, Tang Jiong's concubine Tang Qing, and Tang Xun's concubine Tang Fei were appointed as the three major warehouse masters. To put it bluntly, they were the bookkeepers. The power of the master bookkeeper was much smaller than that of the co-organizer, and they had equal rights with them.
There is also supervision of the accounts of each major warehouse.
Zhen Ping'er, the accounts supervisor of the West Dacang, Wang Jin'er, the accounts supervisor of the Granary, and Tang Mei personally will be the account supervisor of the East Dacang. Tang Mei can't stay in the warehouse and eat dust, so let Zhu Tao and Feng Die go.
Then the meeting ended. From beginning to end, Tang Mei was not given a chance to speak, and Tang Mei's carefully prepared speech was not used.
Seeing Tang Mei's regretful expression, Su Ping couldn't help but smile.
"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh!"
She rolled her eyes and walked away. After taking two steps, she came back: "If you ask me, you'd better not go to work in the county."
