The new big green horse she bought was only two years old. He had never been in a carriage with an old horse and could not even understand the commands. The driver had to train it from scratch. The big green horse was quite untamed, often turning its head and crouching, neighing and kicking.
Or he just stood there, staring blankly. The coachman picked up his riding crop and beat him hard.
Tang Mei was sitting in the car, quite impatient. She opened the curtain and saw that the driver was sweating profusely from exhaustion. The horse had been beaten so hard that its neck was high and its hooves were kicking wildly.
Tang Mei asked the coachman why he was beating the horse. The coachman said that the beast would be ineffective unless he beat it. So Tang Mei got out of the car, snatched the whip from the coachman's hand, and whipped it twice.
It should be said that Tang Mei was not as strong as the coachman, but the big green horse seemed to be afraid of Tang Mei. After hitting it twice, its head sank and it stopped losing its temper.
Tang Mei checked carefully every day to keep Okura's affairs in order. After getting familiar with the work, Tang Mei did not have to do everything as before. When she returned to the Supervisory Office in the afternoon, she began to think about choosing the princess.
She had already gone to Tang Qiu and told her about it, but Tang Qiu refused to admit it. She also said that Tang Mei had held the shit basin for her, and she was going to Zongzheng Mansion to sue Tang Mei. Later, Tang Mei gave the man's name as well as Tang Mei's.
After Qiu's illegitimate son's hiding place was revealed, Tang Qiu couldn't help but cheat. She gave in and said she would give up the promotion opportunity, and helped Tang Mei persuade the ten people to recommend Tang Mei.
We agreed to have lunch together and go to do errands together in the afternoon. But lunch was already over and Tang Qiu didn't come. It wasn't until about 13:45 that Tang Qiu came to the superintendent's office carrying a small basket. Looking at her smiling face,
When I walk, I feel as light as walking on cotton.
"Damn it, we made the promise all morning, but the shopkeeper wouldn't let him go. Just because my aunt sent me a skilled trickster, he was attracted by the King of Luyang, and he insisted on going to the secret room to talk. As a result,
This would be a waste of time. But niece, don't worry, I have already talked to your third uncle's family and your seventh uncle's family. They said that since I gave up, of course they would recommend someone else.
But, if I recommend the sixth niece instead, I have to see the sincerity of the sixth niece."
Tang Mei frowned: "Sincerity? What kind of sincerity do they want from me?"
Tang Qiu looked startled and said: "Hey, what's the matter? You just ask for it with such a red mouth and white teeth, and you don't show any sympathy?"
Tang Mei said: "When you came to them, didn't you say anything?"
Tang Qiu said with a difficult look: "Isn't this a one-size-fits-all approach, and Liu Yatou, you have to remember your aunt's love. If your aunt hadn't come forward, they might have recommended Jiu Yatou without even thinking about it. They
But they often go to sit in the old lady’s house, and Jiu Yatou and your second aunt never raise their heads or lower their heads to see each other. If you don’t express your feelings, they will..."
"Okay, aunt, stop talking. If this is the case, I think it's better to forget it. I don't have the money to express my opinion to them. But let's put the ugly words at the beginning. If they don't recommend me this time, they won't come to supervise in the future.
The government asked me to do something, so let’s do the same thing.”
Tang Qiu promised that she would convey Tang Mei's meaning. Then she took out some preserved fruits from the small basket and placed them on Tang Mei's table. She also called two maids, Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er, to come over and eat.
Then she rolled out half a basket of preserved fruits and left. In fact, she had three little maids, and she didn't know where they were arranged by her. She came out on her own.
The list will be submitted tomorrow, so tonight, this matter will be implemented. In the evening, Tang Mei asked Zhen Ping'er to go to Ninghou Mansion to inquire about the results. Zhen Ping'er came back with a sad face after hearing the results.
"Miss, I told you, don't be angry." The handsome maid looked embarrassed.
Tang Mei said with a cold face: "Say it, no matter what the outcome is, it is not your decision."
"Only the fifth young master's wife changed her recommendation, the other nine people..."
"Did all nine of them recommend the ninth one?"
"Not really, two people abstained."
"Humph, you would rather give up than recommend me? Wow, that's really disgusting. Let's see what happens next!"
Tang Mei was so angry that she cried a lot when she returned to Qinxiang Xiaozhu. First she scolded those people for being ungrateful, and then she blamed herself, saying that she usually didn't use favors, but when it came time to use favors, she naturally
No.
Grandma Wang said that our young lady is the best. How many masters are like our young lady who can check herself three times every day? But Grandma Wang has been saying this for many years, and her young lady has also
She has not changed her temper. She is nowhere to be seen at various gatherings, and her popularity has never been good.
Especially those parties such as birthdays, she thought it was a waste of money. Other girls and daughters-in-law gathered together to recite poems and play drinking games, but she never went, and she would not. If she lost in the game, she would still
She loses face and makes everyone unhappy. She often breaks up because of her displeasure.
It's strange that a person like her is so popular. But precisely because of her character, she was targeted by Tang Kuan, and was recognized by the family masters and became Okura Supervisor. Because she can keep her face down, she can hold her own.
storehouse.
But what if someone like Tang Qiu were to supervise the warehouse? In less than half a year, the warehouse would be at its bottom. Even if others didn't steal, Tang Qiu would still steal.
"Miss, if we don't prepare food, the canteen will be closed."
When it was time to hold the lantern, the husband-in-law had not returned yet. Tang Mei sat on the couch and began to sulk again. Wang Jin'er asked blankly.
Tang Mei asked: "Have you eaten yet?"
Wang Jin'er said: "I've eaten."
"Then don't worry about me." Tang Mei stood up and walked into the bedroom.
…
Su Ping was not idle this afternoon, he was running around about Mei Ranpinzhi.
Just as the criminal department member Wai Lang said, it was the Vice Minister who asked me to handle this matter. I really didn’t expect that such a mistake would occur. I give you one afternoon to figure it out and get back to me before the meeting tomorrow morning. If you are late, I will
But report it to the Minister truthfully.
Mei Ran has no moral character, but "lie" to the minister that he has character. This problem can be big or small. It all depends on Xue Pang's mood. If he is in a good mood, it can be said that it is a misunderstanding; if he is in a bad mood, Mei Ran can be treated
It's a crime. You are so courageous that you dare to lie in front of the Minister of Justice to deceive an official?
"Boom!"
Mei Ran broke into Tong Yin's squad room and threw a document she copied from the Ministry of War in front of Tong Yin.
Tong Yin picked up the document and looked at it, seeming to understand Mei Ran's intention here.
At this time, Su Ping first introduced himself to Tong Yin, and then told Tong Yin what happened recently. After listening, Tong Yin smiled bitterly and told Su Ping and Mei Ran the truth.
"At the beginning, I was still thinking that I would let Xiaomei deal with it in the county first, and I would take care of it for her if there was a need for a child in the future. I never expected that such a thing would happen." Tong Yin said rather distressedly.
"So what does Tong Shuai think we should do now?" Su Ping asked calmly.
Tong Yin thought for a while and asked: "What is the name of the criminal minister?"
Su Ping said: "I heard that he is also new here, and this matter cannot be solved with him."
Tong Yin said: "It can't solve the problem. I just hope he can give me a day so that I can go to my father-in-law to ask for a missing son."
Su Ping asked: "My father-in-law is..."
Tong Yin said: "Qing Honglu Temple."
"Oh." Su Ping nodded.
Tong Yin's daughter-in-law is the concubine daughter of the sixth master of the Meng family. That daughter has no status in the family. And Tong Yin's father once served as the right minister of the Shangshu Province in the previous dynasty. But it didn't last long, and he was
A lazy emperor was deposed. And he was deposed to the end. Because his father wrote to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be more diligent.
Later, Emperor Tiande came to the throne and wanted to re-enable Tong Yin's father, but at that time his father refused to come out. And within a few years, his father died.
Tong Yin said: "Even if there is a shortage in Honglu Temple, it will take a day at the earliest to handle this matter."
Su Ping said nothing.
Tong Yin glanced at Su Ping and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, if the second master of the Tang family can say a word..., there are quite a lot of shortcomings in the Ministry of War, especially at this juncture, it is really easy to arrange it casually.
.And I am familiar with the Ministry of War Yamen, so I can get it done tonight."
He mentioned this "juncture", referring to the fact that Emperor Wanlong had recently killed many military personnel. He followed the clues and found out that a high-ranking official came to clean up a group of people. At this time, Luoyang Baguan, Jinwu Guard, Xuan
There are many soldiers in Jiajuncang and Jingzhao Mansion who are lacking in rank.
Su Ping shook his head.
Tong Yin smiled bitterly: "I will get this done as soon as possible."
Although the matter was not settled yet, Su Ping felt that Tong Yin was a good person. He said a few words of encouragement and agreed to meet in front of the Penal Department Yamen tomorrow morning. Then Su Ping returned to the Penal Department and found Yuan Wai Lang to discuss whether he could do his best.
Delay the reporting time.
Yuan Wailang said, I can be accommodating, but if the minister takes the initiative to ask about this matter, 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 came to deceive the official.
So Mei Ran's problem is not big.
After finishing these things, it was already dark. Mei Ran had nowhere to go, so Su Ping gave her money and stayed in a mansion at the entrance of the Penal Department Yamen.
This mansion can be said to be a guest house affiliated with the Ministry of Punishment. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment can rest here for free with official documents. But Mei Ran can't do that yet.
By the time Su Ping returned home on his donkey and mule, it was already time to light the lamp.
As soon as I walked into the Erdaoyuan, I heard Tang Mei shouting from upstairs: "I came back so late!"
Su Ping raised his head and glanced at her: "Did you take the medicine?"
Tang Mei asked: "Have you spent the whole day with that person surnamed Mei again?"
Su Ping ignored her and walked to the backyard. But Tang Mei refused to let her go and chased her down. She asked Su Ping, what happened to the person named Mei?
Su Ping told Tang Mei what happened today. Tang Mei said, this matter is easy to handle. I will go find her second uncle and arrange for her to go to Mozhou and give her a job as a sixth-rank official. After that, Tang Mei strode away.
Already.
"Hey, are you really going?"
"It's okay if you don't go. You have to promise me that you won't talk nonsense to her!"
"Oh..., I am a decent person and never talk nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lin Tong and Zhang Hu. They know me."
"Humph, I won't ask."
In fact, she had already asked, and in Lin Tong's words, Master Su was simply a eunuch. He stayed calm, pure and pure, and never flirted with women.
Men, friends always have someone to look after and cover for each other. If Miss Eight asked Su Ping if Lin Tong could raise a child privately in Wuwei? Su Ping would definitely say no. Then, what kind of noble person is my brother Lin?
Can you do that nasty thing?
Su Ping's words can help Lin Tong. But I don't know whether Lin Tong's words are helping Su Ping or hurting Su Ping.
