Encounter with the Four Great Talents

And a month later, disaster victims finally began to enter the city, and as the heavy snow continued, there were more and more people, and how to manage it became a problem.Mr. Zhang is talented, and immediately arranged their residence, although it was only temporary.Then, with the support of major households, some quilts were also sent out. Even without quilts, some dry straw can keep warm.Arrange for the victims to go to sub-areas to clean up the snow in the city, and you can also reward them for their merits, so as to prevent these people from doing nothing but causing trouble.And select strong and prestigious disaster victims to be responsible for managing the disaster victims in each area. Naturally, there will be rewards for good management.

In this way, even though there are more and more victims, the situation is still good.

It's just that there is not much food available for relief in the government office, so rich people began to go out to distribute relief food.

Among them, the donation from the Tang family is the most popular.Because there are the most types of food, you can also take some away.Tang Guangde mainly distributes it outside the restaurant of the Tang family. The food distributed is basically hot food just taken out of the kitchen, such as porridge or some steamed sweet potatoes.The two young masters of the Tang family will take the initiative to go to the rescue sites for the victims with their people, and send some steamed buns with coarse grains, and they will also give some side dishes along with them.Those who lack clothing and quilts will also take the initiative to send things to keep out the cold, and even treat those who have frostbite by themselves.An aunt whose hands were turned into purple steamed buns from the cold looked at Tang Shen who carefully applied medicine and bandaged him, and cried like a child.

Therefore, no matter where the Tang family went, they were extremely welcome.It's a pity that they said that because of their limited wealth, they can't give alms every day, but if there is alms, they will put up a sign in advance.So, on the day they donate, there will be a crowd of people in front of the restaurant of the Tang family.

After all, it is the south. Even if it is too cold, it is not easy to freeze to death.Therefore, with the cooperation of the government and the people, the news of this heavy snow did not freeze to death.After the year, the weather finally got better. After the snow melted and the roads became clear, the victims received next year's seeds from the government and returned to their hometowns.

Tang Shen immediately went to see the tenants of the Tang family, because he visited all the disaster relief sites this winter, but he didn't see any familiar tenants.He was a little worried, so he decided to rush to have a look.

Fortunately, because the tenants were well prepared and Tang Shen had left a lot of food for them this year, this winter passed smoothly.Seeing their boss come to visit them, they were all so touched that they stuffed some rabbits and pheasants they had caught in winter to Tang Shen and took them back to mend their health.

Seeing that they were all right, Tang Shen felt relieved, stayed for dinner and then rushed back.

As soon as I rushed back, I got the news that there was heavy snowfall in Wudi area this winter, and Wuxian County is in the best situation.Mr. Zhang wrote the excerpt, and because it was a happy event, he presented it to the imperial court.The emperor was delighted to see the Sacred Heart, and was greatly amazed after learning what had happened.Mr. Zhang was rewarded, and even the Tang family, which Mr. Zhang wrote about, was also rewarded.Although it is only a silver bowl, it was rewarded by the emperor!Therefore, the Tang family carefully enshrined this thing and paid homage to it every day.

So, in the spring, Tang Guangde was forty, and finally became Tang Yuanwai.

Tang Yuanwai, who left his business status ahead of time, finally understood the reason why his second son prepared so carefully in winter, and was so moved that he wanted to hold his son and kiss him.But he still put on his face and pretended to be an outsider's score, and asked his two sons to study hard. In the future, it is the right way to pass on poems and books to the family. The two children listened respectfully.

But in Changzhou, Mrs. Xu, who had heard about all this, once again lamented Tang Shen's power. With his first-class vision and means, he will definitely be a treasure in the future.And I heard that Tang Yin's books are also read very well, and even published a collection of poems, which is very famous in Wu County.Thinking of her daughter's marriage, Mrs. Xu couldn't help feeling anxious.

Xu Xin was arrogant and determined to marry only after she nodded, but many people shook their heads after seeing them.She was determined to find someone better than the Tang family.Although a noble family married a daughter, the conditions of the Tang family are considered very good. She has reputation, fame and property, and now even has status. I really want to find a better business woman, although there are, but even the Tang family can't see it. , where will it be favored by better people.Because of this, Xu Xin's marriage was delayed.Even the number of matchmakers entering Xu's family has decreased a lot, and the candidates are getting worse and worse. Not to mention Mrs. Xu, even Xu Xin is very upset.

And at this time, news came from outside that the second master of the Tang family came to pay New Year's greetings with New Year's gifts.

During the Chinese New Year, the roads were blocked due to heavy snow, so the two families had been cut off for some time. Although the Xu family sent the New Year gift, because the Tang family happened to be busy with the matter of receiving the emperor's reward and being named an outsider, So this year's gift has never been delivered.After everything was done, Tang Guangde asked his two sons to come with a large number of gifts.I specially asked the two sons to come. In addition to expressing apology, I also hope that the two children will gain some knowledge. When the children grow up, they will always have to go out by themselves.

Both of them are boys, so naturally it is impossible to go inside directly as soon as they come, so the first person to receive them is the master of the Xu family.Master Xu knew about these two children, and his wife had mentioned them, so this time he took a closer look.

Tang Yin should only be 17 years old.Although he was young, he was tall and slender, with a fair and handsome face, and a natural and gentle smile.His eyes are clear, his manners are measured, and his bearing is extraordinary.Wearing a tooth-colored robe, he looked even more romantic and suave.I couldn't help but sigh, my five sons combined are not as good as this.

Look at Tang Shen again.Tang Shen is only 11 years old. He is not tall, but he is already taller than other children of the same age, but he is quite thin. It is said that it is caused by his poor health since he was a child.Wearing a crow blue robe, he looks thinner, but extremely stable.The appearance is quite similar to that of his elder brother, but without the frivolity and elegance, he is very calm and solemn.

Both of them have extraordinary conversation, and their answers are also relaxed, without leaving any traces.Master Xu is knowledgeable, knowing that these two children are indeed rare, he can't help feeling a little envious of his brother-in-law.

After chatting for a long time, Master Xu let them go in to see his wife, and made an appointment to get together again in the evening.The two agreed, and after saluting, they went down to see Mrs. Xu and Qiu Shi under the leadership of the servants.

Along the way, it seems that the Xu family has a large number of people, and the family is very lively.The house where Wujin lives does not seem to be a new house, but it is also very beautiful.It's just that for the two who are used to living in the Tang family, the house is a bit messy, noisy, and looks too flashy.But it's not good for the two of them to comment on anything at this time, so they kept silent.But what Tang Yin thought in his heart was that fortunately he listened to his younger brother, otherwise their family would continue to do business, and sooner or later they would become like this.

Over there, Mrs. Xu was busy dismissing her daughter.Frowning and scolding: "What nonsense, they are all men, how can you, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, just look at it casually!"

"Didn't I see it when I was a child, but now I'm an adult, what can't I see?" Xu Xin just wanted to see what Tang Yin who rejected her looked like.

Mrs. Xu patted the table angrily: "How can this be the same? How old were you at that time? Men and women have different seats at seven years old. You are already so old now, and Tang Yin has grown up even more! You have learned the rules for so long Don't you understand this yet?"

"It's a big deal for me to hide under the curtain. Anyway, I just want to see what is so great about Tang Yin who is so great in my mother's mouth!"

Hearing the report from the servants that the two had already arrived at the door, Xu Xin couldn't go out even if he blocked the door.Mrs. Xu had no choice but to let her daughter into the inner room and peek through the screen.

Tang Yin led Tang Shen to wait for a while before he was allowed to enter. He stepped in and saw a beautiful woman sitting on a chaise longue.Recognizing that it was his aunt, he quickly saluted and greeted her.

Qiu Shi was also taken aback when he saw the two children, wishing that this fairy-like child was born by himself, he held the hands of the two and cried for a while, kept asking many questions, and looked the two of them up and down again and again.

The two sat down, and first said that this year's New Year's gift was delayed due to the disaster, and asked my aunt for forgiveness.He also talked about the big and small things that happened this year, so he delayed the time to return the gift.Then I brought the greetings from my parents, and then it was Mrs. Qiu who asked them to answer.

Mrs. Qiu knew these things long ago, but from what the two of them said, she felt that Tang Shen was indeed not simple.But looking at the eloquent Tang Yin, Qiu felt that Tang Yin was promising.He and his daughter are very compatible regardless of their appearance and temperament, the more they look at each other, the more they like it, and they can't stop talking about it while pulling Tang Yin.

Tang Shen was a little tired, so he talked less. After all, he had to be considerate that he was only 11 years old.So later, he just closed his mouth and half-closed his eyes and didn't speak. He only answered a few words when he was asked.

Qiu's thoughts were mostly on Tang Yin, so he didn't pay attention to these.Tang Yin was a little worried, he had to delay because he had to answer Qiu's question when he wanted to take a break several times.

Tang Shen suddenly realized that someone seemed to be staring at them.Although his eyes were not fixed on him, the feeling was stronger, and Tang Shen gradually became sober.Slowly opened his eyes, suddenly turned his head to look in the direction he felt, and stared straight at a figure behind the screen.The man seemed to be taken aback and immediately shrank back inside, never to be seen again.

Only then did Mrs. Qiu notice, and quickly said that the two children had worked hard all the way from afar, so they should go down and rest soon.

Tang Shen stood up and smiled lightly: "So, we brothers will go to rest first, and please aunt and cousin to have a good rest." He said, pulling Tang Yin, who was a little surprised, to turn around and leave.

Qiu Shi was startled, and hurried in, knowing that Tang Shen only noticed her through the screen, and had never seen her face to face, Qiu Shi was relieved.Then he rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, people have seen it, go back. Don't do such embarrassing things again. Fortunately, your cousin is stable. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, how can you have any reputation?"

Xu Xin bowed softly and walked out.After walking halfway, he turned back, lowered his head, looked at his mother with a blushing face, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, really... can't you let me marry my cousin?"

Qiu Shi was taken aback, she couldn't understand seeing her daughter's shy appearance.Sighing, she said, "Why do you think Mother wanted you to marry the Tang family? It was because of Tang Yin's talent and Tang Shen's ability. If you marry in the past, with your aunt around, naturally you won't be treated badly. But now Tang The family is unwilling, and their current identities... oh...you should give up on this."

Xu Xin's tears rolled down immediately. Seeing her crying sadly, Mrs. Qiu tried to persuade her but stopped: "Your mother understands your thoughts too. Which woman would not like a child like Yin'er? But he didn't talk about it before Zhongju. Dear, how old are you? How can you afford to wait? Mother will arrange a good marriage for you, and I won't wrong you. "

Xu Xin whimpered and ran away holding her skirt.

In the evening, eating at Xu's family, Mr. Xu brought his sons and two brothers to the same table for dinner.Although Tang Yin was not very clear about other matters, he had a way of dealing with people, and he got along well with the eldest sons of the Xu family in no time.He is good at drinking, and during the banquet, he recites poems and writes dialogues about the past and the present. None of the Xu family's children can compare to him.

And the closest to Tang Shen is Fifth Young Master Xu Xian.After Xu Xian came back from the academy today, he changed into a fine royal blue robe, with a gold collar around his neck, a piece of white jade around his waist, and auspicious patterns embroidered with gold thread on the hair tie.The whole person is golden, and with his body fat like a pig, he looks like a nouveau riche.

Tang Shen didn't talk much, and he didn't like Xu Xian very much, so even though they were sitting together, they just talked a few words before concentrating on eating.He dined very gracefully, slowly, and beautifully.It was in stark contrast to Xu Xian who couldn't sit still with a nail under his buttocks.

Master Xu looked at these two sons and just wanted to sigh, why didn't he have such a son!It doesn't matter whether it is Tang Yin or Tang Shen, if he can become his son, he will have no regrets in his life.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, that's right, you can't be a son, but you can be a son-in-law!
