Chapter 385: The mud cannot be supported on the wall after all
Xin Kuan was given a meal by the emperor. The happiest thing was himself, and the most surprised was the Yao family. The Yao family was also considered the emperor''s confidant, but he had not received such an honor so far;
The one who was most angry was Tang Gang. Xin Kuan''s attitude towards coming to Beijing made him clearly realize that the Xin family''s dependence on the Hou Mansion was decreasing, and he lost control of Xin Kuan. He was embarrassed to say that so far, except for the day Xin Kuan had just arrived in the capital, he had not been able to talk to Xin Kuan and have dinner together.
He couldn''t be angry yet, because he had to rely on Xin Kuan for help after arriving in Huaijiang.
Finally it was time for him to see Xin Kuan’s face.
On that day, Xin An and Xin Huan bought gifts outside. Before they could walk to Qiushiyuan, they saw a lady coming towards her. When they approached, they knew that the person was coming, Tao Yiran''s cousin and the granddaughter of the old lady of the Tao family.
This person was Tao Yiran''s tyrant in his previous life. He helped Tao Yi hook up with Tang Rong a lot, thus helping her man get a lot of benefits from Tang Rong.
"Are you the second young lady in this mansion?"
"Who are you?"
Almost the moment she spoke, Xin An had already arranged her way of death.
"I am my cousin, the cousin of the prince''s wife in the house. My husband''s surname is Mu, so you can call me Mrs. Mu."
Xin An raised his eyebrows, "It turns out he is my sister-in-law''s cousin, and she is as beautiful as her sister-in-law."
"I''m still thinking that in a few days, everyone in the family will have to go out together. It''s really uneasy to keep my sister-in-law in the mansion. Now Mrs. Mu is just here just right, so I''ll come to the mansion often to accompany my sister-in-law to relieve her boredom."
“That’s nature.”
Mrs. Mu just arrived in the capital and only knew that her cousin married the Hou’s wife and became the prince’s wife. In the future, she would be the Hou’s wife. As her cousin, she must have a high rise. She has been relying on this matter to be a blessing in her husband’s family in recent months. Now that she is in the capital, she naturally needs to get closer.
"I''ve lost my companion."
Xin''an went straight back to Qiushiyuan, and Nanfeng came to report, "Today, Mr. Xu had something in, and it had already reached the hands of the eldest young lady."
Nanfeng felt that the person next door was really arrogant and openly interacted with the outsider with a big belly.
Xin''an''s lips curled gently, "After we leave, you guard the door of Chunhuayuan, and when the time is almost done, you find a way to reveal this matter to Mrs. Tao without any trace."
"The most important thing is to reveal this to Mrs. Mu''s husband today, and let the news spread little by little before we come back."
She wanted to completely make Tao Yiran unable to turn over in one fell swoop, and the child in her belly also lost the possibility of competition. The Mu family regarded it as the mainstay of this matter.
Nanfeng began to get excited again. She could predict how lively the Chunhua Courtyard would be and how unscrupulous the eldest young lady would be.
In mid-March, Xin Kuan had handled everything in the capital and announced that he could set off for the Huaijiang River.
At this time, Tang Gang also led his whole family to Huaijiang to visit his in-laws. As soon as the news came out, he said everything, but he was more envious of Xin''an. He also mobilized many people to return to his parents'' home.
"We''re leaving. If you have something to do, you can find your aunt or your mother. Be careful in everything." Wang reminded Tao Yiran in routinely, and also reminded Aunt Liu to take good care of her.
"Don''t worry, mother, the daughter-in-law will take good care of herself and the children in her belly. I just hope that my grandmother, father, mother, brother and sister-in-law can have a smooth journey and return safely."
Tao Yiran''s excitement could not be concealed, and Wang could understand it. After nodding, he turned around and the car. The convoy set off in a mighty manner. Tao Yiran turned around and walked in, and his steps became much lighter. "Auntie, I have always been a little restless these two days, and I am going to go to Nandu Temple to burn incense tomorrow."
Zhao subconsciously went to see her belly, and then she found out that she had put on a skirt and covered her not-so-big belly, as if she was not pregnant. "But I have to send some people to serve her. You are old this month, so try to go out as little as possible, but you are not careless."
No matter how she doesn''t look like she doesn''t feel restless, Zhao is worried.
"I will be careful. This time I went there to ask for peace of mind, and the second is to ask the Bodhisattva to bless my grandmother and her journey to be successful."
She insisted on going, and Zhao could only nodded. Aunt Liu was about to get bitter and bile. Since the spring banquet in the mansion, the young lady has been in a state of hiding the spring, and with the instigation of holding the piano, now she has come again and looks like she doesn''t want to adjust her cousin. She is jumping around crazy on the verge of death.
She originally wanted to supervise her, but when it was dark, she started to have diarrhea. She was so serious that she could not stand up when she squatted on the Gongguan. Her legs were weak and dizzy, and her abdominal pain was severe. It was only after dawn that she could not get up. She could only listen to the footsteps and the cheerful sound of the hugging Qin slowly disappeared into the yard. At this moment, she understood everything, and the turbid tears slid down the corners of her eyes.
The mud cannot be supported on the wall after all.
"Tell me what the rules of association is to let those salt merchants take out the money?"
The convoy to Huaijiang changed the boat after walking for a day. Tang Gang and Xin Kuan sat opposite each other on the deck, "Is it easy?"
Xin Kuan shook his head, "The salt merchant is rich, but no matter how rich he is, the silver is not blowing from the strong wind. There is no war now, and there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is difficult for people to get money like this."
Even the emperor knew that the salt merchant’s money was difficult to get, and the holes were not easy to open. Anyone who could get the money was able to get the money, so don’t just do this business.
"You can''t take the lead?"
Tang Gang even hoped that Xin Kuan would give the million taels himself, but Xin Kuan was not a fool. "You really can''t count on me in this matter. I can say a few good things for you at most. The Salt Chamber of Commerce is not the final decision. I can''t take the risk of being excluded by the other companies. The Marquis can pat his **** and leave. The Xin family wants to live a long life in Huaijiang."
"According to the relationship between our two families, if I am rich, I will pay for this million tael, which will save you from being embarrassed. But you know, although I am not as difficult as I am now, I am really not rich. The Northwest Salt Road has greatly damaged my vitality."
He already has the confidence to say no to Tang Gang, so naturally he will not be like before. Whatever Tang Gang said is what he said.
Tang Gang was furious when his words were blocked. He also followed him from the Ministry of Revenue. He did not dare to make a fuss with Xin Kuan in front of outsiders, so he could only swallow his anger.
At this time, Tang Mo was also talking about this matter to Xin An. He inquired more in detail than Tang Gang. He knew how cunning the salt merchant was. His father-in-law looked like a real person on his face, and he was really an old fox.
Xin An let out a long sigh, felt the wind facing him, and looked at Tang Mo, "It can be said that it is a huge difficulty to pay those people. It is not just a high official position that can make them feel relieved. They can only find another way. If they rely solely on their father, they will probably not be able to pay for the money."
