son-in-law

Chapter 61 Root Hongmiaozheng
According to Xiao Huan, this man named Tang Zhong is 59 years old this year. According to the family tree of the Tang family, he and Tang Qiong are fourth-generation cousins ​​with higher seniority.

Back then, Tang Zhong served as the grain supervisor of the Pioneer Brigade of the Ninth Division of the Shence Army, and the Ninth Division was originally the army of the eldest son Tang Gan.

Before Tang Qian died, he handed over the Ninth Division to Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen's becoming the Duke of An is inseparable from Tang Qian's full support, so Tang Zhen respects Tang Qian very much, even after Tang Qian's death, he also takes good care of Tang Qian's old subordinates.

Under Tang Zhen's care, Tang Zhong felt that he was a direct descendant of Tang Zhen, and at the same time, with his veteran qualifications in the army and his seniority in the Tang family tree, he deserved this kind of respect.

At the same time, he also thought that since Tang Zhen respected me so much, other people should look up to me even more.People like Tang Yun, Tang Ling'er, and Tian Jing all have to give the old man three points of face.Even when there was an economic crisis in Dongfu, he often went to Tang Linger to ask for money because of some trivial matters or matters of face.

Once or twice, Tang Linger gave him the money, but when he came to look for it again and again, Tang Linger stopped giving the money.

Later, when he heard that the East Mansion was rich, Tang Zhong didn't go to Tang Ling'er again, but came to the Duke's Mansion, firstly to ask for money, and secondly, to complain about his sufferings, and incidentally sued Tang Linger.

When he came to An Guogong's mansion, he saw Xiao Huan, a maid of the princess mansion, queuing here, and rushed to Xiao Huan without saying a word.

As I said earlier, although there are mostly relatives in Qinghuafang, there are also ranks. As a maid of the princess's mansion, she comes out to do things on behalf of the master of the princess's mansion. If she is so arrogantly blocked, Xiao Huan is bound to persuade her a few words.

But as soon as Xiao Huan opened her mouth, Tang Zhong scolded her head and face.If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have even slapped him twice.

Now seeing Su Yu, the son-in-law of the princess's mansion, came, and he was ranked in front of him again with a few words, he immediately became angry and stood up to question Tian Jing.

It was so loud that anyone sitting in the study room could probably hear it.

If other people were making such loud noises, Jing Jing would have kicked him out long ago, but facing the military retirees, Jing Jing always wanted to save some face, so she said in a consoling tone: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry, the young master has not abolished this rule. , It’s just that my uncle has something urgent here, and it won’t take too long, it’s just a few words.”

Tang Zhong glared at Su Yu: "Then my business is also a matter of a few words, and I will be in front of him!"

Still maintaining a polite smile on Tian Jing's face, she comforted her and said, "When the old man was here, he also said to do things urgently first. If Uncle Zhong really has something urgent, you might as well tell me first. Tian Jing dare not neglect."

Tang Zhong shouted: "Then he didn't say it was urgent, why should I say it? It's inconvenient for him to tell you, and it's inconvenient for me either!"

Seeing that Tang Zhong was disrespectful, Su Yu turned his head and said with a smile: "I'm meeting with Duke Guo to discuss a deal worth hundreds of millions. If you delay, you may miss it. I don't know how big Uncle Zhong is going to discuss with Duke Guo What about the matter? If your matter is really more urgent than mine, then please come first. I, Su Yu, have the capacity to accommodate others, so I don't have to compete with others. If not, I would not have just let the house The servant girl came to line up, and some people took the seat by force. It is said that some people opened their mouths to swear. Is this cursing the maid, or the owner of the maid? But because I can’t get the money from the princess’s mansion, I’m so angry Send it to the little maid?"

Tang Zhong grabbed the teacup in front of Tian Jing, dropped it to the ground, and shouted with a glare, "Are all the people in the princess mansion so hard-nosed? In front of everyone, why don't you give me face like this? Su Yu, are you in Tang Dynasty?" The family is just a visiting son-in-law. When you die in the future, your natal family will not provide you with a memorial tablet, and you will not be able to go upright in the Tang family. And I am a Tang family with a red seedling. When it comes to seniority, you have to call me uncle. Speaking of military exploits, I once killed barbarians on the battlefield! What merits do you have? If you get some money, it would be great? Do you know how much our Tang family spends on military affairs a year? You think it’s great when you get a mere 22 billion? How does your little money compare with those of us who have been on the battlefield? Without us, let alone making money, you will lose your life! You are still eccentric in front of me. When your father Su Changsheng was a general Don't talk to me like you do!"

Su Yu smiled instead of anger: "What a red seedling. Such a high seniority, such a high military achievement. Okay, then let me ask you, when the Dongfu canteen requires each room to pay for dinner by itself, What have you, an elder, done before? When Dongfu was heavily in debt and the cash flow was not working, what did you, the former food supervisor of the brigade, do? You said that you have made military achievements on the battlefield, and the credit is natural It cannot be obliterated, but why do you obliterate the credit of others? You said that 22 billion is just a mere number, but now you came to the Duke's Mansion because of the 22 billion? People are in different positions and create different contributions. Your military exploits are worthy of your pride. Isn’t it something that others should be proud of if they have made contributions to the family in other positions? Do you think that there is a distinction between high and low merit? The soldiers who fought in the front are noble, but the credit for transporting food and grass in the rear is low? Is the merit of charging and encircling the battle noble, but the merit of strategizing is low? Many swordsmen in the Tang family may have never been on the battlefield, but they always protect the safety of the Duke. Isn’t this the work of defense? Can you say that no enemy rushed to the Duke? , Are these swordsmen just a display? On the contrary, deterring the enemy from getting close is the greatest contribution of the swordsmen. Then their contribution is worthless in your eyes?"

"You..., you dare to talk to the elders like this! Do you think this is your Su family?!"

"The Su family? Our Su family is a reasonable place. No one who is not generous needs me to educate. I believe that the Tang family is also a reasonable place. As a senior member of the Tang family who is rooted and upright, you should be a role model for the younger generation. But you are making a lot of noise here, not only hurting your own demeanor, but also the Tang family's demeanor. I asked the maids to line up here before, and you forcibly blocked the maids regardless of demeanor, and you bullied the maids. I don't care about you. I came to I didn't take the initiative to bring up this matter here, because I was afraid of hurting the face of the Tang parents. But now you don't want to be graceful with me, why should I care about your face?"

Before Su Yu finished speaking, someone stood up and walked out the door.

When Su Yu finished speaking the last sentence, his eyes swept away, and most of those people who were blocked by virtue of their seniority had already left.

There are still some people left, either they are the same die-hards as Tang Zhong, or they were originally in front of Xiao Huan.

Su Yu flicked his long sleeves, and said to Tian Jing: "Today, I was taught a lesson by an uncle who has made great military achievements in this study. I have no face to stay here. Tian Jing, you go and tell Da Sima, I have [-] sets of chain mail in my hand, if the Shence Army wants to buy them at a low price, they can find me at the princess mansion. Goodbye!"
