Seven gorgeously dressed costumed women and four piano and drum musicians had prepared today's repertoire and were just waiting for the Fourth Young Master to play the role of the great warrior. However, the Fourth Young Master fell sickly in his chair and forgot about it.
.
The Fourth Young Master has indeed been troubled a lot recently. In the past, Little Cherry stayed alone in the wooden building, and he didn't think Little Cherry was very important. He only went there every three to five days. But now that Little Cherry is gone, he feels empty in his heart.
I suffered emotional setbacks and encountered difficulties in my career.
He once boasted at the family meeting that he would win three shares of Wanhualou in Haikou. But now Wanhualou has made conditions for him to reopen the Huaiyang thin horse sales channel. Today he asked Tang Jiong for help, but this Jingzhao
But the governor said, now that the emperor is watching this matter, no one dares to commit a crime, so I think you should calm down.
Now the bad news is that the Fourth Young Master, who boasted that he was "all-powerful in Luoyang City", no longer chanted the curse.
"Isn't Li Xiang's mother dead yet?"
Tang Kuan asked the boy, who said that Li Xiang was still the same.
Tang Kuan sighed and said, "I don't know what's wrong with his mother. She has been dying for more than half a year. If she doesn't die, Li Xiang won't come. If Li Xiang doesn't come, it'll be like I've lost an arm."
The boy said helplessly: "I can't help it, Li Xiang is a filial son."
Even though Tang Kuan arranged for Li Xiang's family to have slaves to serve his mother, Li Xiang still didn't come. He only said that he must stay by his mother's side. Since he didn't come, the fourth son, a marquis, could only condescend to find him, a commoner. That is Li Xiang.
Just for receiving this kind of treatment, if it were anyone else, the Fourth Young Master would have already become angry. I called you to come, but you didn’t come. It’s really shameless!
When he saw Li Xiang, he explained his purpose. Li Xiang gave Tang Kuan advice, saying that the matter was not difficult to handle. When my mother passed away, Li should go to Huainan to contact her. As long as the "source of goods" was prepared, Wanhualou's money could be paid in time.
The channel will be opened naturally. The Fourth Young Master is worried that the matter will be exposed and anger the emperor, so Li will handle it. If it is exposed, Li will bear the responsibility alone and has nothing to do with the Fourth Young Master.
Tang Kuan was overjoyed and only hoped that his mother would die soon.
When I got home, the more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. I wanted to bury Li Xiang's mother directly.
How can I make his mother die quickly?
"Go and invite Doctor Wang to prepare some good medicine for Li Xiang's mother. The more expensive the better."
As the saying goes, "Ginseng does nothing to harm people, but rhubarb does nothing to save people." What the Fourth Young Master did was a bit like using ginseng to kill people. But I don't know if Li Xiang can see through this plan. If he sees through it, how will he take revenge on Tang Kuan.
If you feel that there is no good person around you, please don't doubt yourself, because they are indeed not good people. At least to you, they are not good people. But you have to look at people from both sides. People have an evil side and a good side.
It's just that some people are more evil and less good, and some people are less evil and more good. It's rare to see purely evil people, and it's also rare to see purely good people.
Su Ping and Chen Qianfou can become friends because they can clearly see each other's evil, and do not betray justice; and the other's kindness is sincere and affectionate. Such people can become best friends.
Even if the word profit comes first, people will be united by good and divided by evil. Even bandits are like this. If a mountain king can only kill people and nothing else, then he will not be a mountain king for long. He will not be killed by others.
, that is, everyone rebelled and separated from their relatives. Even the bandits did not follow him.
…
After a busy day, the case made no progress.
Su Ping was not in a hurry and rode home leisurely.
Walking south from Daozhengfang, you will reach Qinghuafang after passing Daoguangfang. The distance is very close. However, on such a short journey, a carriage suddenly came diagonally. Fortunately, Su Ping's big brother reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been killed.
to bump into each other.
The carriage opposite had just stopped, the curtains of the carriage were lifted, and two Huashan women stepped out, one was the bejeweled Meng Su, and the other was Tang Qiu with a wicked smile.
A while ago, Meng Su planned to wait for Su Ping to be expelled by Tang Mei, and then attack Su Ping. He would first trick Su Ping into playing at home for a few days, and then lure Su Ping into the entertainment industry. Tang Qiu and Meng Su were in the same league, and they had a lot of money in their hands.
Male and female artists use them to make money.
"My abandoned niece-in-law, you are still staying in Liu Yatou's house now?" Tang Qiu jumped out of the carriage: "That's so boring, why not go with aunt. From now on, aunt will let you live a happy life."
While talking, Tang Qiu came to Su Ping's horse and reached out to touch the strong horse's neck, which was "fiery red". The horse seemed to be able to distinguish people's identities. Seeing that Tang Qiu was heavily dressed in brocade, it became a little timid, as if it was ignorant.
Little child, stand obediently.
Tang Qiu turned to Su Ping and said: "Believe me, there will be no good results between you and Tang Mei. If you cling to her, you will be unlucky sooner or later. Everything you have now is because of clinging to her.
As a result, the longer the time, the more inseparable you are from her, and the more she can control you. As a man, do you want to hide under your pomegranate skirt all your life? Don’t you feel ashamed to eat soft rice? But if you follow me
Come on, I can make you a celebrity in the entertainment industry in Luoyang City, and all the money you earn is your own. You can spend it however you like, and you don’t have to look at other people’s faces anymore. Every day you just eat, drink, talk and laugh with the upper class.
How happy is it?"
Her words may be useful to deceive those vain and lazy boys, but to Su Ping, they are simply a joke.
Su Ping sneered and said: "You are a really good aunt. I know that you and Tang Mei are not on good terms, but as a family, how can we bear to use such despicable methods? Are you afraid of letting outsiders see the joke? I also advise you.
In short, you will not end well if you do this. It is you who will be the most unlucky, not me."
"Hey! How can you, a soft-hearted person, be so arrogant?" Tang Qiu pretended to be surprised.
Su Ping said: "You can't tell me about the so-called free rice. I make my own money and spend it myself, not your Tang family's money."
"Then what should you say when you become an official?" Tang Qiu said aggressively: "Answer me, was it Tang Kuan who sent you to the county?"
Su Ping glared and said, "Is it too much to charge my family 800,000 taels of silver and I ask your family to get me a ninth-grade Chongqing?"
Tang Qiu's hand was still grasping the horse's reins, and Su Ping waved his whip, ready to hit him.
Tang Qiu continued to hold the riding crop and said with a smile: "Are you willing to beat me?"
With a "pop!" sound, the whip was whipped out, leaving a scratch on the back of Tang Qiu's fair and tender hand.
Tang Qiu was a very strange woman. When the riding whip came down, she didn't hide. When she was hit, she didn't cry out in pain, but continued to hold on to the horse's reins. But her eyes became cold and malicious.
Suddenly hearing loud laughter, it was Meng Su who laughed so hard that he clapped his hands and said: "Good fight, good fight! Hahaha, Tang Qiu, you lose, please give me the money!"
At this time, Tang Qiu threw down the reins and said angrily: "It's useless, you can't even count on this small favor!"
Don't listen to her complaints. They are all half-truths and half-false. What do you mean, this little help can't help? Who knew you needed help in advance? But if Su Ping agreed, then he would really fall into the trap. Trap, embarrassing.
Su Ping ignored these two brokers and bustards in the entertainment industry and went home.
After sending the horse to the stable, Su Ping pointed at Da Liu and criticized: "You boy, you are so worthless, and you get cold feet when you see someone with gorgeous clothes? As a royal horse, how can you be so spineless, for your parents?" Damn it. Next time you see her, don't be polite and bite her clothes, just treat her as good fodder."
Da Liu was trained and kept silent.
Su Ping clasped her hands behind her back and strolled home. She saw a wisp of smoke rising from afar, and the sunset glow faded in the breeze.
Strange thing, the dining hall of the Duke's Mansion is not here, how can there be smoke here?
When he came to the door of Miss Sixth's house, he saw that the smoke was coming from near Qinxiang Xiaozhu. Su Ping asked the concierge's maid Kong Ting what was going on inside. Kong Ting said that the princess bought half a sheep. He said he wanted to cook by himself.
This is really the sun rising in the west.
Now that you are rich, you are no longer satisfied with the food in the canteen?
All the noble titles are vacant, and there is no salary to be obtained. Her money is all distributed by the Tang clan Zongzheng Mansion. In the past, the sixth lady only had five taels of pocket money every month, but in Su Ping's view, it was almost five thousand yuan. Feel.
Now that she is the superintendent of Okura, she will receive a monthly salary of ten taels of silver. The princess of the family will receive an extra ten taels of silver. So now her monthly income is twenty-five taels.
Although it is much lower than that of princesses of the same level, it is still very high compared to ordinary people. As a swordsman in the Ministry of Justice, Mei Ran only earns three taels of silver after working hard for a month.
Su Ping was curious, walked lightly to the moon gate, and looked inside. He saw a bonfire in the yard, a wooden frame was set up, and half a sheep was put on a slender stick and roasted on the fire. Tang Mei carried a portable Hook the stove and hook half of the sheep over.
The breeze blew wildly today, and black smoke suddenly blew towards her face, so she hid on the other side. Seeing the serious expression on her face, the roasting sheep dripped oil, and the oil fell into the fire, making a sizzling sound. From time to time, Wang Jin'er would add fuel to the fire. Wang Jin'er said that if the fire was enough, it would be burnt if she added more fire. Tang Mei didn't believe it and insisted on adding more fire, saying that it should be baked quickly.
Su Ping looked around and saw that Zhen Ping'er, Zhu Tao, Feng Die, Wu Xiaoxiao, and Yang Liu'er were not at home and had gone somewhere.
At this moment, Wang Jin'er ran to get firewood, and Tang Mei was left alone to stab the blind hook. Suddenly, there was a pop, the wooden frame fell apart, and one end of the wooden stick used to pierce the sheep fell off and fell into the fire.
Su Ping didn't know why Tang Mei wanted to roast the sheep herself, and she didn't tell her either.
Although the princess was clumsy, the sheep was cooked, or even overcooked. Especially the part that fell into the fire had been charred.
At the dinner.
Tang Mei sat on the couch with a straight face as usual.
Su Ping was sitting on the banquet, with a small dining table in front of him and a roasted leg of lamb on a large plate.
