Chapter 86 The old lady’s thoughts
Tang Gang didn't dare to look up because of the old lady's scolding. In fact, he felt a little regretful, but it was useless to regret now. He also thought that Wang had always been generous and she would just give her something and say a few nice words to her.
The old lady was furious at his cowardly look, and she couldn't stand him no matter how she looked at him. "Your father was a brave warrior all his life, and he suffered from illness and pain in his old age. If you had been more capable, he wouldn't have to die with a broken eye. He protected the Marquisate while he was alive, and he will continue to protect the Marquisate for ten years after his death. What about twenty years or thirty years after his death?"
"What have you done for the Marquis' Mansion?"
"The title of Marquis is not hereditary. If your son fails to make achievements, he will no longer be a Marquis..."
The old lady found out that Tang Gang was having an affair with a maid three months after the old man passed away. She was so angry at that time that she said such harsh words. It still hurts to hear it again today. Tang Gang could no longer sit still and knelt down in front of the old lady. The old lady looked heartbroken, "You said I was in charge of you, so I let you go. I let you go, but did you do anything?"
"Is there any other solution besides giving gifts?"
Tang Gang had complained more than once that he had few children. He only had two sons, Tang Rong and Tang Mo, and his concubines had no children at all. He always thought it would be nice to have a few daughters so that they could be used for marriage. At this moment, he was glad that he didn't let the old lady know his thoughts.
The old lady felt that there was no point in scolding him. If scolding could wake him up, he would have woken up years ago.
In fact, in her eyes, Tang Gang was not unacceptable. Although he was mediocre, he had not done anything shameful outside, nor did he get into trouble. She only hoped that he could help the next generation to successfully inherit the title, which would be a great achievement. Thinking about her own low requirements, she did feel a little sad.
"Get up. You are quite old now. You should know what to do."
Tang Gang stood up and stood aside. Gan Lu came in and said that Tang Rong and Tang Mo were already waiting outside. The old lady let them in and asked Tang Gang to sit down. It can be said that she still took his face into consideration.
"Grandson pays respects to grandmother."
Tang Rong and Tang Mo walked in side by side. Both brothers were good-looking and dignified. They stood side by side and bowed to each other. It was pleasing to the eye. The old lady felt better. "Well, it's different now that you're on duty. You're much more energetic."
Tang Rong was the first to speak, "Is grandma doing well at the farm?"
"Well, it would be better if it wasn't so hot."
Tang Mo said that it would not be so hot if we went there in autumn. "Manager Yang said there are many maple trees on the mountain. When the maple leaves turn red, it will be another beautiful sight."
The old lady smiled and nodded, saying that she would go and see him when the time comes. Then she changed the subject and said, "I dreamed of your grandfather the other day. He was wearing armor and holding a spear, looking very majestic, but his brows were furrowed and he didn't say a word. When I woke up, I thought something might have happened to your grandfather."
This is a bit mysterious, but people have great respect for the deceased and dare not take it lightly. They are all waiting for the old lady to say next.
The old lady sighed, "After thinking about it, I don't think your grandfather is dissatisfied with anything. You three are in good health and have good jobs. There is a new person in the mansion, which is a happy event. After thinking about it, I am afraid that he is just thinking about his old friends."
Turning to look at Tang Gang, he asked, "Have you taken care of those people over the years?"
Tang Gang nodded, "We have taken care of those old generals who are close to father, and the palace also allocates some money and food to them every year. However, mother also knows the situation at home, and it is impossible to take care of everyone."
"If we want the retired soldiers to have someone to rely on, the imperial court must intervene. But if our mansion were to bring it up, I'm afraid someone would say that we're trying to win over the soldiers even though we've handed over the military power."
In the early years, the Marquis' Mansion did help a lot of people, and therefore, people came to beg for help every now and then. If the Marquis' Mansion had mountains of gold and silver, it would be fine, but the situation was like this, it was impossible to help everywhere, and they could only choose to help those who were more beneficial to the Marquis' Mansion, and there was nothing they could do about it.
From this point of view, Tang Gang is not confused, and the old lady can understand it. She swept her eyes over Tang Mo and said, "These two children are grown up now. They are married and have jobs, so they can help you share your worries. The eldest child is probably busy with complicated affairs in the Ministry of Rites and has not yet established a firm foothold. As a father, you should help him more."
Tang Gang nodded and said, "I would have done it even if my mother didn't tell me. My son is not very promising, and I always hope that he can be better than my son."
The old lady said, "The second boy is in the Northern Army. I think his job is not as busy as in the Ministry of Rites, so it is convenient for him to take leave. In my opinion, we should let him handle some things."
Everyone knows that Beiya Army is a place where the second-generation rich people in the city go to gild their reputations. Many of them work for three days and rest for two days. When the time comes, their families will find ways to move to a better place. What the old lady said is true.
"Second boy, you have also heard what your father said. Although the mansion is not so well-off and cannot take care of everyone, some people who are in trouble should be helped. When you have more free time, in addition to those who are helped by the mansion every year, you can also check to see if there are other families in trouble. You can't let people feel too disappointed, and it will also make your grandfather's spirit in heaven feel at ease."
Without waiting for Tang Gang to speak, Tang Mo immediately took over the task, "My father and brother are in charge of all the major family affairs, and I don't know much, but I will do my best to share my father's worries and let my grandfather rest assured."
Tang Gang actually had no intention of stopping him. He had helped out all those who were needed for many years, and the rest were useless except for dragging down the Marquisate. He was happy to have someone to appease those people, and generously said that he would allocate some money to him, "But you have to keep a good account book so that you can check it later."
Tang Rong didn't care, as long as the key connections didn't fall into Tang Mo's hands. He bowed to Tang Mo and said, "I'll have to trouble you more in the future, second brother."
"I can share the worries of my father and elder brother, and I don't talk about the hardship."
Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other. Tang Mo said he would do the same.
The old lady gave Gan Lu a look, and Gan Lu led people to the storeroom and soon brought over three boxes. After opening them, they saw rare treasures and jades. Tang Gang's lips curled slightly, Tang Rong tried to control his expression, with a calm demeanor, and Tang Mo's eyes were full of joy. The old lady took in the expressions of the three people, "I seldom ask about the affairs of the mansion. My children and grandchildren are all thinking about enjoying their old age. You should work harder."
"You will each take one of these three boxes. Although I don't approve of you taking shortcuts and giving gifts when you encounter problems, normal interpersonal relationships are also indispensable. Your grandfather left behind some things, and they will all be yours after I die. I will give them to you first. I don't care how you spend them. Just one thing, I won't give you anything else within three years."
The old lady felt it was worth it to use the three boxes of things to buy herself three years of peace.
