Reborn and married to uncle, husband and wife teamed up to abuse scum.

When Tang Gang learned that the emperor was there to distribute porridge, he thought that his own porridge would definitely win the prize this year, so he shamelessly invited the emperor to visit his residence.

The emperor became interested again. Since he had come out, he might as well go to his minister's home. Tang Gangmu smiled so much that two more wrinkles appeared on his face.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the marquis's mansion, he saw that there were more people queuing up than in any other house. Those people still served themselves porridge, and then took it themselves. There were always two servings, and no one took more than one. After getting off the car, the emperor found it interesting and asked Eunuch Zhao to go and serve the porridge.

"Oh, it's quite thick."

Tang Gang respectfully said something about how he would carry out his father's will and would never forget it, and shamelessly claimed the credit for himself. Unfortunately, no one came to stop him at this time, and they could only let him flatter himself.

The emperor heard some people expressing their gratitude to the marquis's mansion. Eunuch Zhao sent someone to talk to those people and learned that the porridge had been so thick since the day it was distributed. The emperor was very satisfied with Tang Gang.

I feel that he has not forgotten his roots.

"Your Majesty, please come in."

Excited, Tang Gang carefully invited the emperor into the mansion. The emperor did not want to disturb the people in the mansion, and only said that he would go and say a few words to the old lady and then take a walk around the courtyard of the marquis' mansion.

A group of female relatives were sitting in the old lady's Chunrong Hall, talking and laughing. The emperor heard the laughter before he even entered the room. Tang Gang hurriedly sent someone in to pass on a message and earnestly invited the emperor to come inside.

When they learned that the emperor had arrived, all the women in the room were surprised. Zhao even wanted to hide with the other girls, but Wang held her back and told her to just follow and pay her respects, and then keep her head down and not look around.

This is the backyard, and I guess the emperor won't stay here for too long.

The emperor felt something was wrong only after he entered the house, but he went in anyway. The old lady had already come with a room full of female relatives to greet him. As soon as he knelt down, the emperor extended his hand to support him. "My coming here is abrupt, old lady, there is no need to be polite."

"The emperor's arrival is a blessing for the Marquisate, and the etiquette cannot be abolished."

After the old lady paid her respects, Wang helped her up.

The emperor did not go into the house to sit, but just stood in the yard and talked to the old lady for a few words. He asked her if she was in good health, said that Tang Gang was doing a good job and that the old lady had taught her children well, and said that Tang Mo was good and had the style of an old marquis, etc.

The old lady was happy, and knew that it was time to bring out the deceased old man. She said a few ancient sayings and expressed her loyalty. The emperor was very pleased and said that the porridge distribution in the marquis's mansion was well organized this year. The old lady smiled and said that it was all thanks to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. It was true in itself, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had worked really hard. They should be given some thoughts, and what they wanted was a harmonious family.

But Tang Gang's expression changed. Xin An quickly took a look and guessed it in his mind. He added, "It was also my father's idea. My father said that when my grandfather was alive, he was most distressed about the suffering of the people. He asked me and my mother-in-law to do the porridge distribution more practically, and we can save a little more rice at home."

Wang also smiled and said yes. Tang Gang felt relieved this time and felt that the second son's wife was aware of the current situation and took the overall situation into consideration.

The emperor couldn't help but praise Tang Gang a few more times. As for the girls standing with their eyes lowered, the emperor just glanced at them without asking any more questions. Then he said he would go to see the courtyard of the marquis' mansion.

Tang Gang led the way, and Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed behind. Seeing the colorful chrysanthemums blooming in the yard, and plum blossoms decorating it, with a faint scent of wintersweet, the emperor was in a very good mood, "Although your yard is not big, it is exquisite and well maintained."

Tang Gang returned the favor, saying that it was Xin An who took care of the yard, "I will come here to sit in my spare time, and the fragrance of the garden makes people feel comfortable."

Seeing a pavilion in the middle, the emperor walked in leisurely. A charcoal basin was placed in Chunrong Hall with the emperor in its arms. Tea, water, melons and fruits were also available. Steward Zhang was always meticulous in his work.

"Everyone, take a seat."

The emperor thought the courtyard and the imperial garden were really nice, but they were boring after seeing them for too long. The marquis's mansion looked fresh at first glance.

The emperor looked up at Xin An, "Former Commander Liao sent two pots of pink chrysanthemums to the palace, and the Lin family said they had some too. Did you send them?"

Xin An smiled and replied, "Originally, it was the seedlings that Madam Liao gave me. The gardener took good care of them. I saw that the flowers were beautiful, so I gave two pots to Sister Lin. She likes novel flowers the most."

"Are you familiar with Mrs. Liao?"

"Mrs. Liao and I both come from merchant families, so we can get along very well."

Xin An was a little nervous. She couldn't even look the emperor in the eye, so how could she guess what he was thinking? She could only answer carefully.

"I heard that you two started a business together. Is your business going well?"

The emperor seemed to be chatting casually, but Xin An had to concentrate on responding, "I have a shop with five rooms in a row. The Lin family has a caravan that travels to the capital to sell goods, so we opened a grocery store together. The goods are quite complete. We opened it before the New Year and the business has been good. It is considered to be a small profit but quick turnover."

"Born in a merchant family, you will be influenced by them from childhood. Even girls have a talent for business. Good."

The emperor smiled and drank his tea. Xin An's heart was beating fast. "It is because of my grandmother's kindness and my father and mother's generosity that they allow me to act as I please."

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 coming forward and saluting respectfully, Xin An stood up tactfully and gave up his seat.

The emperor did not let him sit, so Tang Rong could only stand respectfully. Tang Gang naturally spared no effort to speak for Tang Rong, saying that even when he was idle at home, he did not forget to study, sort out the tasks he had done before, and gain experience and insights from them.

"I think I should find him another job after the New Year, so that he can have a chance to share the emperor's worries."

He thought that if the emperor personally assigned him a task, it would be much better than seeking it on his own. However, the emperor did not agree and only praised Tang Rong for his ambition.

You have to know that the emperor has always looked down on those who rely on their family's connections to seek jobs. Although there are quite a few such people, if you want him to recognize you, you must first show your real ability, like Tang Mo.

Tang Rong is obviously not among them. Huahua has a lot of reputations, but none of them is useful.

But he still gave Tang Gang face and asked Tang Rong what he had realized. How could Tang Rong have any realization? If he had any, it was that he realized that Tang Mo was a threat to him and must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Seeing that he kept talking about working diligently and being cautious, the emperor lost interest and felt that he was really useless.

It's bad enough that you don't have the ability, but you're also unlucky. You should know that the imperial court also attaches great importance to the luck of officials when employing people. If you are an unlucky person yourself, don't let your luck be affected by the country's fortune.

Luck is also part of ability.

"I heard that there are several outstanding guys coming to the mansion?"

Xin An couldn't help but want to laugh. Tang Gang had been busy for a long time but in the end, others still had to benefit from it. He must be feeling aggrieved at the moment.

Fortunately, Tang Gang remained calm and his expression did not change. He even praised the five men and sent someone to call them over.
