C54 I Really Can’t Do Anything to You
After comforting a few of his younger sisters, Tang Yue saw Marquis’s Wife standing at the back. He quickly smiled and said, “How can I let Madam come out personally to welcome you? Tang Yue doesn’t deserve it.”
Zhao Shi said kindly, “You are a great contributor to Yueyang Marquis’s Mansion. Why do you not deserve it? Quickly go in. Your grandmother and father are waiting.”
Tang Yue tried his best to ignore the alienation and hatred hidden in her eyes. He nodded and walked into the door first. A group of people followed behind him. It was very imposing.
The people of Prince Zhao’s Mansion carried two boxes and followed at the back. A group of people rushed into the main hall, instantly lighting up the atmosphere in the manor. Except for the lanterns and decorations, Marquis’s Mansion was no different from having a happy occasion.
“I’ve made my grandmother and father worry.” Tang Yue gave a big bow. The rules were much better than when he first came to Ye City.
In Prince Zhao’s Mansion, besides learning how to read and write from Wang Zizhao, he had also learned some basic etiquette. Although it was a bit awkward to kneel down and salute, it was necessary to kneel down to the heavens and the earth to kneel to the king and his parents in the future.
He really did not know how the knees of people in this era grew. They knelt down to eat, drink, and kneel down to talk. They also knelt down to do things. It was such a pitiful pair of knees!
“Good, good. It’s good that you’re back. Quickly get someone to serve the dishes and make up for it.” The old mistress waved her hand to get Tang Yue to follow her. She looked him up and down a few times and found that not only was he fatter, but his complexion was also much better than before.
“It seems like Prince Zhao’s Mansion is raising people.”
Tang Yue touched his nose. His body was thin to begin with, and he had taken a walk on the road to Huang Quan, so of course he did not look good.
Moreover, he had only stayed at home for a few days before he went to Prince Zhao’s Mansion. A month’s time was enough for him to recover his complexion.
“It would definitely be better to eat and stay at home than now.” Tang Yue complimented her, which made the old mistress laugh happily.
“You are the only one who knows how to talk.” Yueyang Marquis glared at Tang Yue, but he was not angry at all.
Tang Yue asked someone to bring the two big boxes up. He opened them himself, and the whole room was filled with golden light.
“This is the reward Wang Zizhao paid. It’s five hundred gold coins in total. The son will keep one hundred gold coins for his own use. The rest will be left to the sisters as dowry.”
Five hundred gold coins in total was five hundred gold biscuits, and the weight was not light. No matter what era it was, it was a huge fortune. Tang Yue had a rough understanding of it. Normally, ten gold coins was enough for ordinary people to live a full life. 100 gold coins was enough for them to live a healthy life. 500 gold coins was enough for them to live a luxurious life.
“Yue’er, you are going to treat Wang Zizhao. How can you accept the Ninth Prince’s payment? This is too insensible.” Marquis’s Wife lectured him with a face full of grief.
Although Yueyang Marquis was also a little disappointed, the matter was already like this. He could not take back the gold.
“Madam is worrying too much. This is what I said in the morning. ” Alright, we don’t owe each other anything. ”
“You are really…” Marquis’s Wife shook her head and sighed. She had an expression that said, “I can’t do anything to you.
“Forget it. I will slowly teach you. Yue’er has this ability. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.” The old mistress clearly felt that Tang Yue was too stupid to exchange 500 gold coins for Wang Zizhao’s legs.
But a child who grew up in the countryside, what kind of relationship do you expect him to know? She still didn’t know what Wang Zizhao was thinking about Tang Yue in his heart.
In this era where elegance and character are important, people try not to use gold or silver to solve things that can be measured without money.
The old mistress sighed and ordered the butler to serve the dishes.
When the dishes were served, Tang Yue returned to his seat and found that they were all dishes and pastries that he had made before. Moreover, they had changed quite a bit. It could be seen that the chef had put in a lot of effort.
“Master Hou, should the three chefs sent from Prince Zhao’s Mansion be sent back?” Marquis’s Wife thought, since the silver goods are gone, then the extra people and things must be returned.
Yueyang Marquis was about to nod when Tang Yue answered first, “No need. The three chefs were given to the younger sisters by Wang Zizhao.”
“What?” The three elders in the main seat were all shocked. Marquis’s Wife asked excitedly, “Is it for your sister? Does His Highness have a crush on our Marquis’s Mansion’s daughter?”
What the hell? Tang Yue was speechless, but seeing them all looking at him expectantly, he had to explain. ” No, it’s just that Wang Zizhao sent three helpers when he heard that his son would cook for the sisters.”
To put it bluntly, the person was actually given to him. It was just that the person he was serving was his family’s girl.
“Is there really no other meaning?” Marquis’s Wife did not give up and asked.
She looked at her daughters, who were as beautiful as flowers and jade, and felt indignant. Her elder daughter was already married to Noble Heir of State Duke Heng, but she did not dare to flatter her prospective son-in-law.
If there was a choice like Wang Zizhao’s, she would love to kick that dog fart Noble Heir.
“Given Wang Zizhao’s age, I’m afraid he’s better suited to Ah Wan. It’s impossible to be a princess. It’s not bad to be a side wife.” The old mistress began to plan. If their family could establish a relationship with Wang Zizhao, the side wife would be a good person when Wang Zizhao took over the throne.
Furthermore, their family’s Ah Wan had a gentle temperament and was virtuous and generous. She was qualified to be the side madam for Wang Zizhao.
Tang Yue looked at Tang Wan’s shy expression and broke out in a cold sweat. In his eyes, she was still a flower bud, but she could marry someone now.
Thinking about Wang Zizhao’s cold personality, what should he do if she was not a good match for him?
“Cough, Grandma, Wang Zizhao really didn’t mean that. No matter how good Madam Bian is, she is still a concubine. It would be better to find a proper scion for Ah Wan.”
Yueyang Marquis nodded in agreement. “Yue’er’s words make sense. Although Wang Zizhao is good, once he ascends to the throne in the future, the backyard will be complicated. Ah Wan might not be able to live well.”
Tang Yue agreed with his father’s words. It seemed that Yueyang Marquis was a sensible person in the family.
The matter was temporarily put aside. Tang Yue had a comfortable meal. After the meal, he asked the butler to arrange accommodations for the guards sent by Wang Zizhao. In the future, these people would belong to him. He had to take care of their food, drinks, and other things.
When Yueyang Marquis heard about this, he waved his hand and gave Tang Yue another empty yard next to Tang Yue’s yard. There was a small patch of grass between the two yards. Wild flowers and wild grass grew happily. When the wall was encircled again another day, it would become an independent small world.
Tang Yue suddenly felt that he had changed from a high-level white collar to a farm owner of the manor. His nouveau riche index had risen by more than one step.
He lived in a small villa that was over a thousand square meters. There were four beautiful maids serving him. He also had more than ten bodyguards. With the arrival of a luxury car, the capitalists were nothing more than that.
It was no wonder that in the transmigration novels, men liked to make contributions and expand their harem. It was indeed quite enjoyable.
The next morning, Tang Yue woke up early and was having breakfast when the butler came looking for him with a bunch of posts.
The threads in this era were very unique. There were all kinds of bamboo and wood fabrics, and they were full of variety.
The butler was about to introduce it to Tang Yue when he saw young master reading it himself. He seemed to be able to understand it.
It had only been a month, but young master had actually learned how to write. He was truly a god!
“They all hired me?” Tang Yue asked in surprise. He had just returned and had not paid attention to the news outside. It seemed that his name had spread.
“Yes. Previously, when you were in Prince Zhao’s Mansion, every family was watching a good show. Now that you have cured Wang Zizhao’s leg and made a name for yourself, there will be more and more posts like this in the future.”
Tang Yue did not want to be tied up with these aristocratic families and live a life of listening to the music and enjoying the beauty.
“Uncle Quan, can you help me see which ones must go? I’ll just push the rest.” The housekeeper’s surname was Zhang, and he looked older than Yueyang Marquis. In fact, he was a few years younger than Yueyang Marquis.
The housekeeper had the same intention. He quickly picked three out of the three. “One of them was sent by State Protector and Zhao Sanlang. With your relationship with Zhao Sanlang, you can’t push it away no matter what.”
Tang Yue was still wondering what his relationship with Zhao Sanlang was. They were just ordinary friends who had met two or three times.
However, as one of his rare friends in this world, Tang Yue had to give him some face. Besides, he wanted to ask how his relationship had progressed.
“There’s also a copy from State Duke Heng’s Mansion. I think you have to go even if you don’t want to.”
Tang Yue came back to his senses. “State Duke Heng?” “State Duke Heng? Of course! How could I not want to go?”
Tang Yue had wanted to meet his future brother-in-law after listening to Yueyang Marquis’s words. Whether he was a pile of mud or a dormant worm, he had to find out everything before he could come to a conclusion.
Moreover, judging from what Yueyang Marquis said, the probability of this marriage being annulled was extremely low. He couldn’t just sit there and wait for death. He had to do something.
