Chapter 339 Luck is also part of your ability
Tang Gang learned that the emperor was coming to serve the porridge, and thought that his family''s porridge would definitely be the first to make the first place this year, so he shamelessly invited the emperor to go to the Marquis'' Mansion to sit.
The emperor became interested again and came out. It would be fine to go to his minister''s house to see it. Tang Gang''s face had two more folds on his smile.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the gate of the Marquis'' Mansion, I saw that there were more people queuing up than other families. Those people still made porridge themselves, and they touched them themselves after making porridge. There were two, and no one took more. After getting off the bus, the emperor found it interesting and asked Eunuch Zhao to come and cook porridge.
“Oh, it’s quite thick.”
Tang Gang respectfully said something that he did not dare to forget to uphold his father''s will, and shamelessly took the credit for himself. Unfortunately, no one came to stop him at this time, so he could only let him gild his face.
The emperor heard the people grateful to the Hou Mansion again, and Eunuch Zhao sent someone to say a few words to the people. He learned that the porridge was so thick from the day the porridge was served. The emperor was very satisfied with Tang Gang.
I feel that he does not forget his roots.
"Your Majesty, please come in."
The excited Tang Gang carefully invited the emperor into the mansion. The emperor did not let the people in the mansion be alarmed, and he just said to say a few words to the old lady and then go to the yard of the marquis'' mansion for a walk.
The old lady''s Chunrong Hall was sitting in a group of female relatives, laughing. Before the emperor entered the door, he heard laughter. Tang Gang hurriedly sent someone to go in and pass the message, and asked the emperor to walk in.
When they learned that the emperor was coming, the women in the room were all surprised. Zhao actually wanted to hide with a few girls, but Wang grabbed her and said that they would just pay their respects after a while, and then lowered their heads and didn''t look around.
This is the backyard, I think the emperor will not stay too much.
The emperor felt that it was inappropriate after he had entered the door, but he still came in. The old lady had already brought a room of women to greet him. As soon as she knelt down, the emperor stretched out her hand to help him, "I am abrupt now, and the old lady doesn''t need much politeness."
"It is a blessing for the marquis''s mansion to arrive, and the courtesy cannot be abolished."
Wang only helped him up after the old lady gave her tribute.
The emperor didn''t go into the house to sit, but just stood in the yard and said a few words to the old lady. He asked the old lady how good she was, and said that Tang Gang was doing a good job, because the old lady was good at teaching her children, and said that Tang Mo was good and had the style of an old marquis, etc.
The old lady was happy and knew that she should carry out the old man who passed away at this time. She said a few old words and expressed her loyalty. The emperor was very pleased and said that the porridge delivery in the Hou Mansion this year was done well. The old lady smiled and said that it was all the credit of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. It was actually true, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were really hard-working. She should give them some thoughts and be happy with the family.
But Tang Gang changed his face. Xin An quickly glanced at him and had a guess in his heart, adding, "It''s all my father''s intention. My father said that when my grandfather was alive, he felt most distressed by the people. He asked my mother-in-law and I to do the porridge-dressing work more practically, and we can save a little more rice and grain at home."
Wang also smiled and said yes, Tang Gang was relieved this time, and felt that his second wife was still aware of the current affairs and took the overall situation into consideration.
The emperor couldn''t help but praise Tang Gang a few more words. As for the girls standing with their eyes down, the emperor just glanced at them, without asking more questions, and then said to go and see the yard of the Hou''s Mansion.
On the Tang Gangling Road, Wang''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed behind him and saw the colorful chrysanthemums in the yard, decorated with plum blossoms, and faintly fragrant with wintersweet. The emperor was in a very good mood, "Although your yard is not big, it is exquisite, and it is well maintained."
Tang Gang reciprocates his favor and said that Xin An is responsible for the yard. "I will come to sit in my spare time, and the fragrance of the garden makes people feel comfortable."
Seeing a pavilion located in it, the emperor walked away with a charcoal basin supported the emperor to put it in Chunrong Hall, and all the tea, water, melons and fruits were also prepared. Manager Zhang had always been meticulous in his work.
“Sit all.”
The emperor thought the yard was really good and the Imperial Garden was good, but it was not interesting to see it too much. The Hou Mansion looked fresh at first glance.
The emperor looked up at Xin''an, "The former commander Liao sent two pots of pink chrysanthemums into the palace. The other end of the Lin family said she had them, and did you give them?" Xin''an replied with a smile, "It was also the seedlings given to me by Mrs. Liao. The gardener carefully raised them. I saw that the flowers bloomed were beautiful, so I gave them two pots of Sister Lin. She loved novel flowers the most."
"You are very familiar with Mrs. Liao?"
"Mrs. Liao and I usually come from merchants, so we can talk together."
Xin An was a little nervous. She couldn''t even look at the emperor in front of her eyes. How could she guess what she was thinking? She could only answer carefully.
"I heard that you are doing business together, is the business okay?"
The emperor seemed to be chatting, but Xin''an had to deal with it twelve points. "I have a row of five shops. The Lin family has a caravan to Beijing to sell goods. We jointly opened a grocery shop. The goods were all in place. The business was good before the New Year. It was considered small profits but quick turnover."
"Born in a business family, I have been influenced by it since I was a child. Even women have the talent for doing business, good."
The emperor smiled and drank tea, Xin An felt a little nervous, "It was also the kindness of my grandmother. My father and mother were generous to allow me to act as I like this."
The emperor laughed again. Just when Xin An felt relieved, Tang Rong came. It should be said that he was called by Tang Gang.
Seeing him step forward and saluted respectfully, Xin An stood up tactfully and gave up his position.
The emperor did not let him sit, so Tang Rong could only stand respectfully. Tang Gang spared no effort to speak for Tang Rong, saying that even if he was idle at home, he would not forget to study and study, sort out the errands he had done earlier, and gain experience and insights from it.
"I think I will still have to do another job for him after the New Year, so that he can have a chance to share the worries of the emperor."
I thought that if the emperor assigned an errand in person, it would be much better than him to seek it himself. However, the emperor did not let go, but just praised Tang Rong for being ambitious.
You should know that the emperor has always looked down on people who rely on family operations to seek errands. Although there are still many such people, if you want him to recognize him, you must first show your true skills, such as Tang Mo.
Tang Rong was obviously not among them. Huahua had a lot of reputation, but none of them were useful.
But he still gave Tang Gang a face and asked Tang Rong what he had. Where did Tang Rong have any insights? If he had any, he realized that Tang Mo threatened him and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Seeing that he said that he had to be diligent in his work, be cautious and cautious, there was nothing else, the emperor lost interest and felt that it was really useless.
Forget it if you don’t have the ability, but you’re not lucky. You should know that the court also attaches great importance to the fortune of officials when hiring people. If you are an unlucky person, don’t get involved in the national destiny.
Luck is also part of your ability.
"I heard that a few outstanding boys have come to the mansion?"
Xin An couldn''t help laughing. Tang Gang was busy for a long time and finally benefiting others. He must be frustrated at this moment.
Fortunately, Tang Gang was stable and his expression had not changed. He praised the five men and sent people to call everyone.
