After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 330 Tang Meng’s Trust

Xie Wenzai now attaches great importance to Haijiao.

Due to Haijiao's success in reporting clues, the Zhenguo government promptly discovered the changes within the Tang family and focused on the Sun family's most covert eyes and ears in Chang'an City. Xie Wenzai believed that this cousin's grandnephew had grown up enough to help him with official matters. He is so busy that he is willing to reveal some confidential information to him.

But this does not mean that Xie Wenzai will tell Hai Jiao everything.

Hai Jiao is the child Xie Wenzai watched grow up. Even though he is tall now, has made many meritorious deeds, and looks very mature and smart, he is still a half-grown child in Xie Wenzai's eyes. Xie Wenzai would not regard him as an equal subject of discussion. Only out of love and respect for the younger generation, he would reveal some inside information to him, but he would not confess all secrets to him in detail.

Therefore, Haijiao was able to find out so much information about the nuns and pigeon breeders, of course from Tang Meng of the Tang family.

Nowadays, a large number of the backbone of the Tang family are about to be left to outsiders. In the Chang'an family, it is up to Old Master Tang and other old generals and elders who have retired at home to take charge of the overall situation. Although they have been through the world for a long time and have rich experience, after all, they are all very young, and the illnesses they suffered when they were young are tormenting them from time to time. It is impossible for them to have the energy and brains of their prime, but they still have to deal with the current complex situation of the Tang family. The situation is a bit overwhelming.

But no matter how powerless they are, they must bite the bullet and persevere. They cannot just watch the family fall into the quagmire, become estranged from the Zhou family, and be plotted by the Sun family.

For this reason, the elders of the older generation decided to promote some of the younger members of the family, including some prime-age branch clan members who had not been taken seriously in the past, as well as outstanding young men of the younger generation, hoping that these people could help them and support the family. When the members of the clan who have been released abroad have made achievements and can feed back the family, there will be a new rising star in the family who can make a career in the northwest base camp. At that time, the Tang family will truly rise.

This is how Tang Meng was selected. Although he is a descendant of a side branch of the Tang family, his grandfather was originally the second son of the direct branch. After the separation, he still has a close relationship with the direct branch and is a loyal supporter of the direct branch. Although he is not very old, he has been good at civil and military studies since he was a child, and he is one of the best among his brothers. He has never committed any stupidity, is loved by his elders, and is also on good terms with the younger generation of the Zhou family. Even though he was the youngest among the clan members chosen by the elders, his good friendship with the grandsons of Lord Zhen Guo alone was enough to make up for his lack of age.

Today, the Tang family urgently needs someone who can maintain a friendly relationship with the Zhou family. If we encounter an embarrassing situation like this again in the future, someone will have to come out to negotiate and plead with the Zhou family, just like Mrs. Zhenguo and Mrs. Tuesday. Without their mediation, the Zhou and Tang families would have turned against each other long ago. It's a pity that the marriage between the two families is currently out of the question, so choosing a junior who has a good relationship with the Zhou family's grandchildren can have a similar effect.

Therefore, since the Tang family started investigating along the line of educating mothers, Tang Meng could be there to listen when all the detected information was reported back to the Tang family every day. Although he is not qualified to join the elders' discussions, it is enough to have information. He made appointments to meet Zhou Yijun every day, ostensibly to maintain the friendly friendship between the two younger generations, but in fact he was exchanging his thoughts with Zhou Yijun and Haijiao who was traveling with Zhou Yijun.

With Tang Meng leaking the truth, and Xie Wenzai's occasional revelations, Hai Jiao now probably knows what happened better than anyone else in the Zhou and Tang families.

After hearing Hai Jiao's introduction, Haitang understood where he got such detailed information. She just didn't understand something: "Tang Meng quite trusts you. It's not surprising that he would trust Zhou Yijun. The two of them have known each other since they were children and have been in love for more than ten years. But why does Tang Meng treat you so much, brother?" Why is he so trusting? Not everyone in the Tang family or the Zhou family can know this confidential information. He will just tell Zhou Yijun, but he doesn't mind you being present and participating in the discussion? You have only known each other for a few days? Why? Suddenly became so good?"

Hai Jiao smiled: "Of course he didn't trust me originally. But Zhou Yijun believed me, and I gave them a pretty good idea. He also wanted something, so there is no reason not to trust me."

Haitang was curious when he heard this: "What idea did you give him?" Hai Jiao thought for a while and then simply told the truth to his little sister.

Tang Meng himself had no worries. Neither his father nor his brother were involved in external affairs. Now he has gained the attention of his family. He has a happy family and harmonious siblings. He has basically no shortcomings. He is only worried about the future of his cousin Tang Hui.

It is said that when he was a child, his mother gave birth to a younger brother. From pregnancy to postpartum recuperation, it was very difficult. About Mo had no time to take care of him for more than a year. His wet nurse fell ill and went home again. It was his cousin Tang Hui who took him for a while, so They are not biological siblings, but their feelings are no different from those of biological siblings. Although Tang Hui cheated him because of her careless behavior, her future was bleak due to the calculations of the Jin family, and she almost hanged herself. Tang Meng could be said to be heartbroken.

In the middle and early part of the first lunar month, the Jin family insisted on confirming the marriage between Jin Shan and Tang Hui. Tang JiaSongkou was willing to get married, but he also put forward conditions, requiring Jin Shan to pass the exam. While the Jin family urged Jin Shan to concentrate on preparing for the exam, they kept sending people to the Tang family to deliver things to show their courtesy. But after the news spread that many key members of the Tang family were being transferred, the Jin family's attitude changed.

The Jin family wanted to cling to the Tang family because they took a fancy to the Tang family's power and status in Chang'an, so that the Tang family could help the Jin brothers get promoted in the military. But if the Tang family's power in the northwest frontier army is greatly reduced, even if countless clan members become high-ranking officials in other places, what will it mean to the Jin family? The Jin brothers have no intention of leaving their hometown, nor do they want to be transferred to Ganzhou to eat in the sand! They didn't know what happened to the Tang family, so they planned to wait and see for a while to see what happened. Anyway, Jin Shan hasn't married Tang Hui yet, so there is room for change.

But the Jin family had been so attentive before, and now they suddenly became cold. How could the Tang family not notice?

At the moment, the Tang family can't take care of them. It's just a temporary measure in the first place, and it's not really about getting married to the Jin family. If the Jin family had given up on their own initiative, it would have saved the Tang family trouble. But Tang Meng didn't think so. He thought that the Jin family had caused Tang Hui to be in such a mess, and now he had changed his mind when he saw a slight change in the Tang family. It was simply disgusting! He must teach the Jin family a lesson.

He didn't want Tang Hui to have anything to do with the Jin family, but where was Tang Hui's life? Now that her reputation is not as good as before, even if she gets rid of Jin Shan, how can she marry into a good family? If Tang Lan's future is concerned about her biological mother, Mrs. Tang, and Tang Hui has lost her mother and the favor of her elders, who can think about her?

It was at this time that Hai Jiao took Zhou Yijun to find Tang Meng.

They provided Tang Meng with a secret information.

Zhou Sujun, the second son of the sixth branch of the Zhou family, has actually been secretly in love with Tang Hui. However, he was neither a son of the Duke of Zhenguo nor the eldest son who inherited the family business. He was not an outstanding general in his own right. His future prospects were limited. He was not the son-in-law chosen by the Tang family at all. Therefore, he was not chosen by Tang from the beginning. The family is included in the son-in-law candidate list. He himself has a stubborn temper. After identifying with Tang Hui, he does not consider other people. So far, he has not said anything about his marriage, and he has refused to tell others what he is thinking.

Zhou Yijun had learned archery from him for several years, and he had been around a lot on weekdays, so he could tell a lot about it. He took his friend Hai Jiao to discuss with Tang Meng.

Nowadays, it is impossible for Tang Hui to marry a grandson of the Zhenguo Palace, but a branch of the Zhou family is also of Zhou family blood. The Tang family would not reject such a marriage between Tang and Zhou, right?
