Chapter 678 What a Big Ball
The princess's mansion held a banquet, and there were leftovers, and the maids picked some good things from them and put them in the small kitchen.It is cold in winter, and the food is not easy to spoil, but it can be stored for more time.When Su Yu returned home, he took a peek at the kitchen door and said that by coincidence, he saw the little housekeeper Tang Cui secretly eating pig skin.

Afraid of being discovered by others, of course he would not eat it after it was hot. Watching her chew and swallow the frozen pigskin, Su Yu was very worried that she would spoil her stomach, and couldn't help feeling distressed.

As for these little maids, although they were all wearing decent clothes given by Su Yu, they didn't have much money in their pockets.I usually live frugally and take care of my family.Tang Cui's father was once a small official of the centurion rank, and died during the ten-year resistance against Hu.

It stands to reason that military martyrs have pensions, but the Tang family has a lot of foreign debts and is too poor to pay.Even if they have money, they will first appease the hundreds of thousands of martyrs in Chang'an Road, while Qinghuafang can only continue to tighten their belts.But living in Qinghuafang is also good, you can eat a big pot of rice.

But life is more than just eating. Tang Cui has an older brother in his family. In order to marry his elder brother, the family borrowed foreign debts. Tang Cui earns 1400 yuan a month, most of which is taken away by her mother.

"Steal again."

"Oh!"

The little girl had a guilty conscience at first, but Su Yu suddenly appeared, and the pretty girl gasped in fright, with a piece of pigskin stuck in her throat.Seeing the little girl's face flushed from holding back, Su Yu was already preparing to apply the Heimlich first aid method to her.

"Cough!" She spat out the pigskin herself and put it in her hand, but she was reluctant to throw it away, so she swallowed it in her mouth again, and said with some aggrieved words: "My lord, this slave is not stealing food, these are what the slaves saved. leftovers."

Su Yu smiled and said that he had misunderstood the good person, so he rewarded her with some money as a token of comfort.

Of course, Su Yu deliberately created a misunderstanding, just to have fun, and also to find a reason to subsidize the little maid.

Why not send money directly?

Su Yu felt that sending money for no reason would spoil the little maid.Of course, this is just Su Yu's opinion.

It just so happened that Xiao Huan came over with the dinner plate, bowed and said that it was a nutritious meal for Mrs Yu, and she was reluctant to throw away the rest and planned to put it in the kitchen.

Now the Princess feeds Zhao Zhen herself, and Yu Shi feeds her own child and Zhao Tangsu.

That Mrs. Yu is so beautiful and open-minded, as long as the child cries, he will take out the ball and feed it, which often makes Su Yu avoid it.

Su Yu didn't say anything, and left cheerfully.

As soon as Su Yu left, Xiao Huan pointed at Tang Cui and spat: "Shameless little bitch, who begged the lord for money in private, bullying our lord with a soft heart."

Tang Cui said in a choked voice: "You still have the nerve to blame me? In the whole house, you are the one who wants the most. You are a thief shouting "Stop the thief!"

Su Yu didn't go far away, and the two little maids didn't deliberately avoid Su Yu. If Su Yu really went far away, they would stop arguing.From the day Su Yu met them, they have been chattering, as if they had some fun in it.It's not like the third batch of little maids who ran out to make an appointment without being convinced.

Su Yu didn't go to Xiaofeng Pavilion, but went to Xiaoxilou to fetch the embroidered dragon robe presented by Cao Yuzan.

No matter what Cao Yuhan's intentions were, Su Yu felt that she had no good intentions.The embroidered dragon fillets of several princes were all the same size, but Cao Yuzan chose an extra-large one for Su Yu, which looked so eye-catching.

"Old Huang, go and burn this robe."

While speaking, Su Yu threw the robe from downstairs.

Lao Huang moved swiftly, took a look at the robe, and said with some reluctance: "Master, what a pity to burn this fine robe?"

At this moment Tang Cuixiaohuan came over, and Su Yu loudly said on purpose: "The embroidered dragon on it is too big, I think it's inappropriate."

Tang Cui blinked and looked at the robe: "What's so difficult about it? Just remove the embroidery and re-embroider it."

Su Yu found another opportunity to give money, smiled and said: "Okay, you can get it. Remember it is a four-clawed dragon, not five-clawed. Otherwise, I will commit the crime of usurpation as soon as I wear it out."

Su Yu dropped two silver coins from upstairs: "This is the money to buy gold thread. If you do it well, you will be rewarded."

Su Yu used to spend a lot of money when he was a vassal, but now that he is the regent who is in charge of finance, it is even different. It feels like he is the god of wealth.

But the princess is still the princess, and her obsession with money has never changed.At this time, I am planning carefully in the study to minimize the cost of the wedding.

Tang Ling'er felt in her heart that Cao Yuzan was trying to trick her on purpose.Anyway, she didn't have to pay for the money, and she made a good person as soon as her upper lip touched her lower lip.Of course, she also sent a "golden basin".Thinking of the bronze basin princess, she was angry, and wished she could walk over and give her another kick.

Now that basin is specially used to catch Zhao Zhen's excrement and urine.To be able to use the gift from the empress dowager as a urinal, probably only a powerful princess can do it.

Seeing that the Princess loves money, Su Yu said: "This wedding can be skipped."

Tang Ling'er glanced at Su Yu and smiled bleakly: "Cao Yuzan has already spoken. If you don't do it, you won't give the Empress Dowager a face. I don't want her to make irresponsible remarks because of etiquette."

"Ling'er don't need to worry, I'll talk to her about it." Su Yu looked at the account book that Tang Linger had prepared for the wedding, it was too simplistic and not much taller than Concubine Nazai, Su Yu said with a smile: "These Let it be used by Concubine Na."

Tang Ling'er snatched the ledger back and quickly checked off a few strokes.

Su Yu blinked, but said nothing.Turning his gaze, he saw Mrs. Yu taking out the ball to feed the child again. It was a big ball, about the size of a volleyball.

In fact, it is too big and it is not good-looking. It is round and falls down.

……

The Jinwu Guard has a special nature, especially for King Kang and King Xian.

Now Su Yu was elected by the Xian Wang to the position of Jinwu Guard Supervising Army, and he wanted Su Yu to manage them well.In the final analysis, it is still to protect the safety of the virtuous king.

Su Yu and Zhao Yafu split Jin Wu apart, and now Su Yu has Cao Renfeng's You Xiaoqi, Zhao Qi's You Baoqi, Li Dao's Sheshengwei, Wu Xing's Qianniuwei, and Li Fu's Jingtong under his command.

Except for Zhao Qi, the concubine son of the virtuous king, the other teams are led by spies.Su Yu went to inspect the work many times and was very satisfied with the performance of the spies.After all, this group of people was selected from thousands of people, with a clear mind and unquestionable ability to work.But Zhao Qi, the concubine son of the virtuous king, is very worrying.

As Cao Yuzan said, "mud can't support a wall", this guy is lazy, and very vague, muddling along.Under his leadership, the team was loose and there was no cohesion in sight.If such a team is taken out to fight, it is probably at the level of Taoist soldiers.

Having just experienced Zhao Ting's rebellion, the number of Jinwu Guards has been severely reduced. All teams are busy recruiting troops, but Zhao Qi is waiting for the Ministry of War to send troops to him.Now he has more than 300 people under his command, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Usually Su Yu doesn't seem to be in a hurry, that's because Su Yu has already arranged someone to worry for him.Facing Zhao Qi now, Su Yu couldn't help but be in a hurry.

According to family seniority, Zhao Qi is still Su Yu's cousin, so he can be stern to others, but it is not easy to lose face when facing Zhao Qi.The key is to take care of the face of the virtuous king Qiansui, not the face of the monk but the face of the Buddha.Otherwise, someone like him would have been kicked out of a key position by Su Yu long ago.

"Oh, Jinfeng is here, sit down quickly."

Although he is a cousin, but Su Yu's status is higher than him, he salutes first, and there is nothing wrong with his etiquette.

Su Yu didn't sit down in a hurry, but said with a smile: "Brother Wang is so comfortable, it's really enviable." After saying a word, he sat down.

We learned from the conversation that Zhao Qi was often scolded by the virtuous king because he was free and unrestrained.He also made an effort himself, and brought two young servants who were slightly capable in his family to take charge of the Right Leopard Cavalry.But the two boys recruited for half a month, and they recruited seventeen people.This efficiency simply cannot be lowered.

Summoning the two servants, Su Yu asked them, what went wrong that led to such inefficiency?

The boy said that according to the recruitment rules of the Jinwu Guard, the ancestors were required to have served as officials of the seventh rank or higher in Gyeonggi Province within three generations. This alone severely restricted recruitment.Especially after this battle, the willingness to join the army is even lower.They visited the door to recruit soldiers, but they couldn't recruit them.

It could be seen that the boy complained a little.This is not their original intention, it should be Zhao Qi's intention.Zhao Qi's idea is not to seek merit but to seek no fault.

Su Yu smiled and said: "Give up on this rule and recruit all the people first. If the Ministry of War comes to investigate, then gradually recruit suitable people to replace them. If the Ministry of War is still entangled, tell me, and I will talk to the Ministry of War."

Zhao Qi said that he must do so.

After a short chat, Su Yu left.Bai Zhan sat in the car with Su Yu, but he never talked nonsense.Instead, it was Bai Tang who was standing on the sidewalk, opened the curtain and said, "My lord, do you really believe what they say?"

Bai Zhan immediately widened his eyes and pointed to scold him, but was stopped by Su Yu, who smiled and said:

"The son of the virtuous king, even if he is a stick, I will help him lead the team well. So it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, the key is whether they can recruit soldiers. If they can, I don't care about them. If not, I have to start with Those two young servants will attack. I will help Zhao Qi build up the team. Knowing his son is like his father. His father knows Zhao Qi's virtues best. And I am expressing my opinion to the virtuous king by doing this. Perhaps, King Xian is also testing me on purpose. Huh? What do you think?"

The tiger-eyed youth blinked and nodded heavily: "Yes! That's the reason. It turns out that all these principles are in our prince's heart, so I can rest assured."

"You stand up for me!" Bai Zhan finally couldn't help it, and pushed Bai Tang's big head out: "Talky, no rules!"

Although they were cousins, they took two completely different paths, and in the end they both came to the palace to serve.It can be said that Bai Tang was born recklessly, while Bai Zhan had experienced in the palace, and he especially cared about the word "rules".

Su Yu smiled without saying a word, and the carriage slowly drove towards the imperial city.
