Chapter 304 I am here for you, my father
"Is it dangerous?"
Hearing that Tang Mo was about to go out again, Xin An, who was leaning on the couch, sat up straight and said, "Your wound last time was not completely healed yet."
Tang Mo smiled and sat next to her, "What danger can there be? Liao Zhi only has a thousand soldiers, but it is these one thousand that make Liao Zhi perform many meritorious deeds. I have long wanted to meet them." "
"Bring me some money and bring it with you. I should need it then."
Xin'an was helpless, there was no use worrying, and she couldn't stop him from traveling. She could only prepare more useful things for him to take with him, especially the medicine for wounds, which must be enough. "I have something to tell you."
Fangda came here this afternoon and brought 20,000 taels of silver notes that her father had sent to the capital. This time the banknotes were prepared for Tang Gang and were used as a favor to the Marquis Mansion at the end of the year. Give it every year.
"This year, my father sent this banknote to me and let us make our own decision."
Tang Mo opened the box Xin An mentioned, looked at the thick stack of banknotes inside and asked curiously, "How much money does my father-in-law have?"
Since they got married, they have given away more than 100,000 taels, and they have also spent 500,000 taels to pay for the marriage. How can they be so rich?
"You don't have to worry about this."
Xin An sat up, lifted the thin quilt on his legs and put it back again when he felt cold, "After years of accumulation, I still have this little money."
Tang Mo loosened the lid of the box, thought for a moment and opened it again. He counted out ten thousand taels of silver notes and gave them to Xin An, "It's okay if you don't give it to him. He will definitely want to cause trouble. There's no need for more."
"I will tell you this myself."
Xin'an has no objection. Naturally, she is unwilling to spend money on Tang Gang, but everything must be done step by step. The favors during the New Year's Eve are related to the Marquis's house. Tang Gang cannot be made too poor or too rich, otherwise he will Have other ideas.
Before Tang Mo could think of when to tell Nanfeng, he came, "Master Marquis, please ask the second young master to go to the study."
Tang Mo snorted, "The old man seems to be addicted to me recently. If I don't see you for a day, I have to send someone to invite him."
Nanfeng lowered his head and snickered, and Xin An smiled and said: "You are such a talker, just take it easy and don't let your anger come out."
"knew."
Tang Mo got up and took the box with the banknotes with him, not forgetting to say a few words, "I'll be right back when I go. Let's have a hot pot tonight, it's snowing again."
The charcoal fire in the study room of the Hou Mansion was burning brightly, and Tang Gang, who had changed into regular clothes, had a sullen expression on his face. He actually needed to learn about the Xin family from others, and all he could think about was Xin Kuan's betrayal of him.
When Tang Mo walked in, Leng Buding was startled by him, "What's going on?"
He sat down and poured himself tea. Tang Gang didn't care about his rudeness, "Has the Xin family started selling candy?"
"It has been selling for a long time."
Tang Mo looked at the tea cup in his hand, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he quickly guessed the reason why he was angry again, "Salt merchants can't just sell salt, they can do any business to make money. When did father care about this matter?" "
"It's the young man who talks about the business and is so idle."
Tang Gang's eyes showed dissatisfaction, "What's going on with the Northwest Salt Road?"
Tang Mo put down the tea cup and said, "Now I have to ask my father about you."
Tang Gang didn't know why, so Tang Mo kindly explained, "My father-in-law once asked you for help regarding the Northwest Salt Road, but you were unwilling. Do you remember this?"
Of course Tang Gang remembered this matter. It was not that he was unwilling to help, but after asking about it, he felt that it was not easy. If he took action, other people would have to be involved. He was worried about the reputation of the Hou Mansion and was afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion, and even felt that even if The lack of salt from the northwest would not hinder the Xin family's ability to make money, so they did not interfere in the matter.
Tang Mo said bluntly, "My father must have thought that my father-in-law could still make a lot of money even if he couldn't buy and sell salt from the northwest. Even if he didn't make money, it wouldn't affect his annual filial piety to the Marquis, so he didn't care whether he lived or died."
"Yes and no?"
Tang Gang raised his eyes with sharp eyes. Tang Mo didn't like him either. "My father doesn't care, so I don't know that my father-in-law has been severely impacted by his peers because of this. He has been losing money for two consecutive years." "I don't understand it at this point."
Tang Mo was really curious, "Everyone knows that behind the Xin family is our Hou Mansion. He was bullied because the Hou Mansion was incompetent. How could father endure it?"
Tang Gang said in a deep voice, "He came to the Northwest Salt Road to tell me, but he never mentioned it again after I replied to him. How did I know that he was being bullied?"
"It means they don't tell you because they think you can't count on me."
Tang Mo faced his cannibalistic gaze and said, "The Hou Mansion can't count on me, and I'm having a hard time. If someone can help my father-in-law at this time, will he agree?"
"As a merchant, as long as you let him make money and provide him with protection, his money will not be given to anyone. It doesn't have to be the Marquis Mansion. You must know that there are not just one or two families who have ideas for your father-in-law. Officials with low rankings dare not touch him. But what can he do if he meets someone like the Xu family?"
"The Marquis Mansion's thirst cannot be quenched by water from far away. It is no surprise that the Xu family succeeds this time."
Tang Gang was silent, and Tang Mo slowly raised his legs, "My father-in-law has always had a choice. He just didn't make a choice because he was concerned about his grandfather's affection. Why did you and your eldest brother decide that he would hang himself on the tree in the Hou Mansion?"
Those eyes nakedly say how stupid and naive you are.
It's a pity that Tang Gang didn't see it. Maybe his words were too naked and realistic, so he didn't refute it for a while, and of course he wouldn't admit that he had a problem. "Your wife also knows these things?"

"How could you not know?"
Tang Mo compiled an image for Xin An on the spot of a weak woman who endured humiliation and wanted to get a chance for her mother's family, "She thought her father would help the Xin family, and she was even prepared to come and beg her father for help, but her father didn't want to see her. As soon as she entered the Hou family, There are so many things happening in the house, what do you want her to do?"
"You don't even know how difficult it is for her."
In order to dig out the 10,000 taels in a logical way, Tang Mo started to talk nonsense again, "On the day you threw her tea cup, she just got a letter from her father-in-law, and also got a 20,000 taels of silver from her father-in-law, saying that she would give it to her father for the end of the year. Before she could take it out, the tea cup you threw over scared her."
"You broke his heart."
Tang Gang was suddenly stunned. He asked why he hadn't received the banknote from Xin Kuan at this time. He thought he was really going to rebel, but when it was delivered, he knocked it away with a tea cup.
wrong.
He raised his eyes suddenly, "So she stole the twenty thousand taels of silver?"
"That's not true."
Tang Mo showed his eight teeth and smiled with a face that deserved to be beaten, "I cut off the money, otherwise, father, why do you think I have such good momentum recently?"
"This favor comes free of charge for meals and drinks."
"My father doesn't help me, and my mother doesn't have much money to subsidize me, so I can only find a way on my own. Not to mention, it feels so good to clear the way with money."
"You bastard!!"
Tang Gang regretted what happened to the Xin family, but when he saw Tang Mo's ridiculous attitude, he suddenly felt angry and blood surged up, "Your father-in-law intercepted 30,000 taels for you before, and you also withheld 20,000 taels privately, who gave you such a Big courage?"
Tang Mo nimbly avoided the tea cup he threw at him, "If my father wasn't so partial, how could I do such a thing?"
"Am I doing this just for me? Not for the Marquis Mansion, but to bring glory to my father. If I turn out to be a coward, my father will also be embarrassed."
"How much does the eldest brother spend in a year, and how much do I spend?"
"I withheld the money all because of you, my father."
