Chapter 239 Aunt Cai’s family is prosperous
"Am I your hope?"
Tang Mo automatically filtered out the word 'we' at the end, and felt happy when he heard Xin An say that he was her hope.
"certainly."
Xin'an put her hand on his shoulder, suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Second Young Master Tang, the success of my life depends entirely on you. Please don't let me down."
Tang Mo was very happy and suddenly felt that he was very tall and stalwart. "With you in my heart, I feel very at ease. Don't worry, I won't disappoint you."
Oops, why is the tip of my nose sore?
Why is it so rare?
"Young Madam."
Nanfeng stood at the door holding a box, "Mrs. Ouyang sent a lot of milk cubes, saying they were sent from the grassland for you to try."
"Bring it in and take a look."
Nanfeng walked in and put down the box. The moment the lid was opened, a smell of milk wafted out. Tang Mo said it was a good thing, "I heard that this is what the prairie cavalry brought most with them when they went on an expedition. They are very hungry."
"Those people are strong and healthy. It is said that they have eaten these since childhood."
Xin'an had tasted this stuff in Huaijiang, and said it was a bit difficult to accept it. "It smells good, but it tastes milky and sour. The first time I ate it, I thought it was bad."
Tang Mo picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, "It's not bad."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and frowned. After a while, he opened his eyes and blinked several times, "This thing"
Seeing him leaning back like that, Xin'an felt her teeth were a little sour at the moment. Tang Mo smiled and said, "Don't mention it, chew it carefully and you can taste the rich milky fragrance, which is very mellow."
"Then you eat more."
Xin'an said that a box of it was given to him, "If you eat more, you won't get sick easily. If you are weak, you should take a supplement."
Tang Mo smacked his mouth twice, and actually wanted to say that he couldn't accept it, but as long as he could strengthen his body, he still wanted to try more, so he pinched another piece and put it in his mouth, trying to get used to it, and said against his will, "Yeah , the more you taste it, the better it tastes. It seems that I am suitable to eat this. ”
"It's all for you."
Tang Mo was not polite and asked Nanfeng to find oil paper to wrap him a few pieces. He would eat them when he was hungry when he was on errands.
Seeing that he really liked it, Xin An said, "If you really get used to it, I'll ask Mrs. Ouyang where I can buy it. It seems like this is only available in winter."
"I'll talk about it after I finish eating here."
Xin'an didn't force him. Fortunately, after a while, Tang Mo felt that the taste of milk was left in his mouth, as well as the fishy smell, which he could suppress by drinking tea.
That night, Tang Gang and Tang Rong returned to the mansion together. Both father and son looked not very good. Perhaps it was Duke Xiang's revenge. In the past two days, people from the court and the court came to the father and son one after another, and they brought out everything as big as sesame seeds and mung beans. He said, especially Tang Rong, that his moral character was so bad that he was not worthy of serving in the Ministry of Rites. If he continued like this, his job in the Ministry of Rites would really be unsafe.
The father and son were not in the mood to eat, so they ate a few bites and then went to the study. Wang looked at the servant who was waiting outside and left silently. It could be said that as long as Wang wanted to, there was no way he could hide anything in the study from her.
Tang Mo and Xin Tian pretended not to care, and returned to Qiushiyuan hand in hand after dinner. As soon as they arrived, Nanfeng said that Liu Chang was here, "I've been waiting for a long time, Young Master wants to see him."
Tang Mo nodded, "Bring him in."
Liu Chang brought news to Tang Mo that Aunt Cai's family next door was prosperous.
"Not only did they pay back the money as scheduled, but they also bought a few servants and spent generously. Today, my father heard that they are still secretly inquiring about shops, and they seem to want to buy property." Tang Mo raised his eyebrows, "I found out their Where does the money come from?”
"Cai Quan went to the pawnshop twice, but the pawnbroker was tight-lipped and didn't find out what he pawned."
Servants frequently went in and out of **** shops, either pawning for their masters or having dirty hands and feet. He guessed that the Cai family belonged to the latter group.
Tang Mo curled his lips slightly and threw a piece of silver to Liu Chang, "Well done. Keep an eye on them. It's best to find out what they are pawning and keep quiet."
Liu Chang stretched out his hand to catch it, "Thank you, Second Young Master."
Soon Xin An got the news and said with a sarcastic look on his face, "He is a cunning person, so that's not surprising."
"Keep it for now, it will be useful later."
Tang Mo also meant the same thing, "I always feel that the guy next door won't just sit there and wait for death. He will definitely do something."
"I just don't know if he's coming in an upright way or if he's using some underhanded tactics."
Xin An asked Nan Feng to tell Qing Mo that Tang Rong must watch more closely.
Tang Rong returned to Chunhua Courtyard at night. When passing by Qiushi Courtyard, he stopped and stared at the closed door, lost in thought. He was so trapped that Tang Mo was getting better day by day. Could it be God's will?

We can't let him go on like this.
"The prince is back?"
Aunt Cai greeted her at the door, "It's cold at night, and the prince is wearing thin clothes so he shouldn't stand outside. The autumn pear soup is warming on the stove, and he'll drink a bowl of it later to warm himself up."
Tang Rong entered the door, and Aunt Cai was waiting at her side as eagerly as usual. Tang Rong, who was holding the autumn pear soup, took a few sips and suddenly thought of something, "Aunt Cai, what has Cai Quan been busy with recently?"
"Still on duty."
Aunt Cai raised her eyes and looked at Tang Rong's expression, "It's just an ordinary errand."
"Um."
Tang Rong put down the bowl, "It's almost the end of the year, and the shopkeepers of several shops should also come to pay their accounts. I originally thought about buying some more properties for Cai Quan and his son to take care of. After a year of hard work, I should give him some rewards." , it’s a pity”
"Today is different from the past. I, the prince, can't even get two thousand taels of silver from my account."
Aunt Cai was very surprised, "The money in the house's account has always been available to the prince. In the past, it was just a matter of sending Qing Mo to get it. Why can't it be done now?"
Tang Rong smiled bitterly and did not answer. He just sighed, "Aunt Cai, why do you think my life is becoming more and more unsatisfactory?"
Aunt Cai frowned. You must know that the rise and fall of their family all depended on Tang Rong. If Tang Rong died, his family would be the first to be cleared out of the Hou Mansion by the Wang family.
I originally hoped that Tao Yiran would be able to prosper in the house after she became pregnant, and she would become more dignified and easier to do whatever she wanted. Who knew that now she was staying behind closed doors, doing nothing except raising the baby, and she was also asked to serve them. People have to find reasons to go out.
The prince even felt like he was plagued by bad luck. If things continued like this, the entire Chunhua Courtyard would not be well off.
"Your Majesty, there are some things that it is not convenient for me to say, but please think about it, is it not going well since you moved to Chunhua Courtyard?"
Aunt Cai has been pondering this matter for a long time and determined that Tang Rong's current troubles were all the work of Wang and Tang Mo. Otherwise, how could such a good person have troubles one after another?
Tang Rong raised his eyes, "What do you mean, aunt?"
