Chapter 413: An urgent report came to Beijing
"There is an urgent report from the middle of Beijing, and the war has begun in the northwest."
Tang Mo, who was still drinking at noon and then drinking in the evening, was called away by Tang Gang and gave him the letter he had just received. "After General Yuan arrived in the northwest, he found that the Northwest Army had long been disintegrated. If he was given half a year, he would be able to turn the tide. It would be a pity."
"Langri sent troops to the border half a month ago, but the Northwest Army was unable to stop it. The soldiers threw away their armor and fled without fighting."
At this moment, Tang Mo''s wine had already woken up halfway. After reading the letter at a glance, he asked, "When will my father set out?"
The emperor has ordered the national treasury to allocate funds, but this year''s spring starts too early. Several places have frozen too quickly and caused the water flow to rise. The clichéd dam requires a lot of money to build dams, and it also needs to rescue disasters and ensure spring plowing, etc. It is a bit difficult to support the war treasury.
Tang Gang took out another letter, which was from a staff member in the mansion. He said that the Ministry of Revenue had allocated money a few times and shouted that the treasury was empty, but after so many years of cultivation and rest, he also called for the country to be rich and strong in the people, but when it was time to spend money, he said that there was no one. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation of the treasury involved a lot of people.
"We don''t borrow the treasury money from the government, right?"
The letter said that in addition to investigating corruption, it is also investigating the powerful families who have borrowed money from the treasury over the years. Tang Mo returned the letter to him, and Tang Gang took it and said, "I didn''t borrow it."
"Your grandfather didn''t agree."
Tang Mo breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately you came to Huaijiang. If you were in the capital, you would be arranged by the emperor to come and pursue him. You have a sufficient status and have not borrowed it. You are the most suitable person."
"If that''s true, I don''t know how many people I offended."
Then he sighed again, most of this errand was about to fall on Liao Zhi.
Tang Gang is the best at seeking good fortune to avoid harm, "I am afraid it will be inappropriate for me to return to Beijing this time. You go back, I will stay here to raise more money."
Tang Mo''s mouth twitched, his eyes were sarcastic, "You are such a good father, you don''t hesitate at all when you push me out."
Tang Gang glanced at him, "You have a low official position and cannot be the leader of the Marquis'' Mansion. Which point is suitable for pursuing the debt?"
This sentence was simply killing people, Tang Mo snorted coldly, "But I can help Liao Zhi do this, how do you know that the emperor wouldn''t want me to go?"
Tang Gang was speechless because this is really possible.
But Tang Mo''s appearance would be the least harm to the Hou Mansion than when he came on stage in person. "This matter is settled. You set off in three days and bring three million taels back to Beijing first."
"You will start preparing tomorrow and be sure to send the money back safely."
Tang Mo refused and turned around and left. After going out, he took a long time to smile again before he went to the front yard for a drink.
There were people from the clan who were very relaxed in Xin''an. When the guests left, they went back to their room to rest. At this time, she didn''t know that Tang Mo was going back to the capital, and was still thinking about where to go in the next few days.
When she got the news, it was already the next morning. Tang Mo said that this matter was so frustrating. "How can I not know that his choice is right? The capital city is not very chaotic now. He will definitely fall into a vortex when he returns. In comparison, I should indeed go back first."
"But he pushed me forward without hesitation. At that moment, his heart was so cold."
Xin An didn''t expect the situation to change so quickly, so he poured water and sent it to his mouth, "Drink a sip of water to suppress his anger."
"Don''t think too much. No matter how he said he had more experience than you. He made the most correct choice at the first time and did not consider your ideas."
"How can you care about these things in the face of big events?"
Tea flowed into the throat and the lungs. Tang Mo sighed and Xin An said, "Mother, father, son, and son, most of the fathers will maintain their majesty in front of their younger generations. They are used to ordering but will not explain. This is also the reason why many people have bad relationships with their fathers. When they become fathers, most of them will also embark on their own path."
“Understand to be a father.”
Tang Mo refused to admit it, saying that he would be a tolerant father in the future, and would never be biased, and would be a kind father. "A kind father and a strict mother are more loyal and filial, and a strict father and a kind mother are more defeated."
Xin An smiled and patted his shoulder, "What, I''m here to be Yan''s mother?"
Tang Mo''s mood was much better inexplicably. He talked happily about his parenting ideas, and Xin An wanted to laugh.
The two packed up and brought gifts to the front yard to see their new wife. Today, Xin Huan was very happy. When crossing the threshold, he carefully supported his wife, looking like he had a wife and everything was enough.
After admiring the tea, Zhou Yutan respectfully presented her embroidery work. Xin''an got a pair of socks and a pair of embroidered handkerchiefs. The embroidered lotus was very exquisite. "My brother and sister have such an excellent embroidery work."
"I just pass the time when I have nothing to do at home, so I can make my sister laugh."
The kind of cautious and cautious new wife is all about Zhou Yutan. Xin An tried to make her smile look more kind and kind, "When we enter the door, we will be a family. Don''t be restrained. If this kid dares to bully you in the future, you will write to the capital and I will write to scold him."
"Sister, how could I bully my wife?"
Xin Huan stopped resigning, Zhou Yutan blushed. The family said a while and Mrs. Xin asked Xinghuan to accompany Zhou Yutan back to rest. "I was tired for a day yesterday, so I was afraid I didn''t have a good rest at night, so I''ll sleep a little longer."
Zhou Yutan''s ears were red and blood was about to drip. Xin Huan smiled so stupidly, and then carefully helped his wife back.
"Why are you leaving so soon?"
When Mrs. Xin learned that her son-in-law was leaving, how could she bear it? "Can''t you stay for another half a month?"
Xin''an told her that something happened in the capital, "He must go back, but I can stay for more days."
Mrs. Xin sighed for a long time and finally asked her to go back, "Since there is something wrong, you should go back and take care of the trivial matters behind him, so that he can do things without distractions. How can he do it alone?"
Xin An held her arm, "I told him, but he refused, saying that I would come back very rarely, and I don''t know when the next time I come back, so I''ll stay with you and your father."
"There are also my aunts in the mansion who are in the house and there are people serving him in the yard. If he is really busy, he will definitely go out early and come back late. He won''t need me so much."
Mrs. Xin said that everything big and big needs to be together, "Even if you can''t help him, as long as you are here, he will feel at ease."
Xin An smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, don''t chase me away. I still have a long time to help him, but how long can I spend with my parents?"
"Mom, don''t want a daughter if she has a wife?"
"You kid."
Mrs. Xin raised her hand high and gently fell down and hit her, "Your father and I are not old yet. We can still go to the capital to see you. You can come back in the future, and there are many opportunities to meet."
Xin An smiled and didn''t say anything, but leaned on her shoulder. Some words were easy to say, but let alone the distance from the capital to the Huaijiang River, even if there were so many married girls in the same city, how many married girls could go back to their parents'' home at will?
In the future, she will have children, and will be plagued by more trivial matters, and there are countless reasons to trip her back.
The age of parents will gradually be insufficient to support them in traveling farther.
"I don''t care. Let him go back by himself, and no one can drive me away."
