son-in-law

Chapter 272
Su Yu waved his hand, signaling Shi Yao to back down.

The new batch of maidservants in the princess mansion are all rotated one by one.After making everyone familiar with all the work, they all become all-round maids.After two years, Tang Ling'er will decide who will be the permanent concierge at the gate and who will stay in Tang Ling'er's room as the personal maid.

Wang Xun, Lin Wan, Wang Xiu, and Chen Qi are the first batch of maids, and the family has the highest demands on them.It can be described as both civil and military cultivation.This is also the reason why Su Yu is reluctant to let Chen Qi be a full-time housewife at home.

And Xiao Huan, Feng Yu, and the others were the second batch of maids. At that time, Tang Linger was already in charge. They were not required to practice martial arts, but only to concentrate on studying literature. Later, they were all arranged to practice in Dongdacang.Of course, before going to East Dacang, they have to go around in the princess mansion like Shi Yao, Wang Zhu and the others.Later, Xiao Huan became a maid in the princess's house.Later, Tang Linger sent him to Su Yuwu.

Su Yu felt that Shi Yao would definitely not become a personal servant girl, because this chubby little girl was a little dazed, similar to her cousin Shi Jinchong.Just now she turned around in a hurry and almost hooked the hanger down.The chubby servant girl stuck out her tongue and walked away quickly.Tang Ling'er swept her sharp eyes over the little maid, and then rated the maid in her heart.

"I've heard from Tang Jin that Tang Dian will definitely become the second uncle's heir." Su Yu said briefly and in an understatement tone.

Tang Ling'er immediately understood what Su Yu meant, picked up the pen again, and said while writing, "You want me to fight for the position of elder?"

"Why, the Tang family doesn't allow women to be elders?"

"There is no express rule that women must not be elders. But for more than 100 years, there have been no female elders in Qinghuafang."

"It didn't appear before, but it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future. Before Wu Zetian became emperor, there was no empress."

Tang Ling'er smiled, and put down her pen again: "The elders of our Tang family are basically replaced by the old leading the new, instead of a group of people being replaced at the same time. Now my brother is the first among the young masters to enter the elders. He The position left by his father was replaced. The position was not passed on to him until his father was dying. I think the second uncle will do the same. He will not hand over power until the last moment. But the fourth uncle Tang Jiong and the fifth uncle Tang Li and Seventh Uncle Tang Xun are different. Their sons are not qualified to inherit the position of elder."

Su Yudao: "Tang Li's position has long been targeted by Tang Kuan. And Tang Li also intends to do this."

Tang Ling'er nodded: "Brother Seventeen has been coaxing Tang Xun. But Uncle Qi is strong and not very old. Brother Seventeen also knows that he has a weak foundation and low prestige, and he just hopes that Uncle Qi will work for a few more years , to make time for him to perform.”

Su Yu said: "What about Tang Jiong?"

Tang Linger shook her head: "I never seriously considered becoming an elder before."

While speaking, Tang Ling'er stood up and walked over, sitting next to Su Yu very rarely: "Do you think I have hope?"

Su Yu smiled: "If the eighteenth brother can support you, I think there is hope. If the fourth uncle takes the initiative to step aside, I think it will be possible."

"But..." Tang Ling'er thought for a while, "Brother's problem shouldn't be big, but the opinions of other elders are also very important. You mean that after Tang Kuan and Tang Dian take over the position of elders, let me fight for the fourth uncle? "

If Tang Ling'er only mentioned the word "brother" without sorting it, he was referring to Tang Zhen.

Su Yudao: "It's hard to say about the second uncle, and we shouldn't try it out lightly. After all, the relationship between the second uncle and the eighteenth brother is a bit delicate now. And... there are some highly confidential things about your Tang family that I didn't intend to ask. Then let's Let’s find a breakthrough from Fourth Uncle first. This is a long-term journey, we can’t be too anxious, and we’ll think about Tang Dian after Second Uncle hands over power.”

"He said 'your Tang family' again." Tang Ling'er complained softly, and then said, "What secret do you want to know?"

Su Yu paused for a moment: "I'm worried that you don't know. If you don't know, I can't tell you a word. Of course I didn't deliberately hide it from you, but I just think that it is not good for you at all. , on the contrary, it may make your heart dust."

"Oh? That sounds serious." Tang Linger said with a strange expression on her face.

"Yes, very serious." Su Yu smiled.

"Okay then." Tang Ling'er gave up and stopped asking, but said, "You want me to please Fourth Uncle?"

"It's useless to please the fourth uncle directly. He is calm and experienced, and the city is extremely deep. And he is so old, fame and fortune are useless to him. He only cares about his children now. If he can make his children better Become stronger and come under our control. Then he will seriously consider your request."

Tang Ling'er thought for a while: "Fifth brother Tang Jian intends to leave the army and return to Qinghuafang. If he comes back, then I have nothing to do with it."

"He hasn't come back yet. And whether he can come back or not is not up to him alone." Su Yu shook his head: "If a person wants to succeed, he has to work seven times and God's will three. God's will is beyond our control , the rest is up to people, as long as you want to be, we can operate. Even if you don’t succeed in the future, there is nothing to lose. This kind of business that only makes money and doesn’t accompany you can be done more.”

Tang Linger rarely had a deep smile on her face: "Okay then, let's try together."

Afterwards, Su Yu told Tang Ling'er what happened at the gate of the Tang family's ancestral hall in the afternoon.He also asked Tang Linger to spend 50 yuan to buy a good horse for Tang Dan.When Tang Dan was mentioned, Tang Linger frowned, but she did not object.

"But I have no money to buy him a horse."

"You have no money?"

"Originally, there were some valuable items in the warehouse, but a few years ago, my family had no money to buy rice, so I sold them all. Only a few were left, and they were burned clean by a big fire. Then the gifts I received It's about the same balance as the gifts I sent out. If there are any more, they were sent by Ouyang Jing last time. I also gave some of them to the sixth brother's daughter."

Tang Ling'er, princess of the Imperial City of Dacheng, the lady in charge of the family of the Tang family, and the president of Qinghuafang, she even said that she has no money.

In Tang Linger's sneering smile, she found a sly look.With a cold face, Su Yu secretly thought that something was wrong, and felt that he was going to lose his money again.

Su Yu knew that he was "doomed", so he said that he still had more than 60 in his pocket.It is enough to buy a horse.

Tang Ling'er was all smiles, and handed Su Yu an army card for buying horses, which he would use to buy horses tomorrow.

Su Yu walked away with the horse card in his hand. When he walked out the door, he seemed to hear short laughter coming from behind him. The laughter seemed to be the kind of unbearable laughter, but he quickly covered his mouth.

I don't know if it is my hallucination.

Back in her room, Su Yu saw that Tong Yu was using waste paper to teach Tong Xi how to read.In fact, Tong Xi already knows a thousand or eight hundred characters, so it is not difficult to learn new characters.The little guy is very eager to learn, and he is lying on the mat, using a brush that is going to be bald, and dipped in very light ink to write in small script.Because the tip of the pen is too thick, the written word is almost a dot of ink.

Su Yu pulled out a stack of paper from the house, grabbed the pen holder and inkstone, and gave them to the brothers and sisters. He also said that if there is not enough pen, ink and paper in the future, they can just go into the house to get them.

It was late at night, and everyone fell asleep.

Tong Xi rolled her eyes, got up from the bed, gently opened the door and slipped out.Through the crack of the study door, I saw that Jun Ma Ye was still awake.She knocked lightly on the door and walked in.Close the door and cover the door with your hand.

Su Yu had just finished practicing and was reading a book, planning to go to sleep when he got tired from reading.Seeing the little guy walking in mysteriously at this time, he knew that this "little spy" must have discovered something and had something to say.

Su Yu grabbed a crabapple fruit from the plate and gave it to her.

She put it in her pocket with a smile, and said in a low voice: "The last time the Duke came to chat with the princess, I heard them talk about a human head, it was so scary."

Su Yu was full of doubts, and asked in a very low voice: "How did you hear that?"
