Chapter 312 Recruiting Tang Xinyi
However, just as they went up, the coachman picked up the small ladder, put it on the carriage board, then jumped up, sat on the carriage board, and prepared to drive the carriage.
Tang Xinyi said quickly,
"What are you taking it down for? They haven't come up yet."
Tu Que Ling said,
"They and I rode in the back carriage."
Tang Xinyi was dumbfounded. She was going to ride in a car alone with Shen Changgong?
This is this...
"Why?"
"Why? It's not customary for a servant to ride in the same carriage with his master."
Tu Queling suppressed her laughter and then took the two maids to get into the back car.
In fact, she and Gongsun Wan'er often rode in Shen Changgong's carriage.
Tu Que Ling wanted to laugh when he thought of Gongsun Wan'er's resentful look before she left.
This guy has been neglected for a while and acts like an unsatisfied woman every day.
The two maids quickly winked at Tang Xinyi and waved at her, meaning that she should behave well.
But the more they did this, the more Tang Xinyi resisted.
Tang Xinyi stomped her feet in anger and then got into the car.
Shen Changgong sat in the main seat and lit a stick of sandalwood, igniting a fresh fragrance.
Tang Xinyi was sitting near the door of the carriage, and the distance between her and Shen Changgong seemed like a world of distance.
"Am I a jackal, a tiger, or a leopard?"
"You are scarier than them."
Shen Changgong laughed and said,
"So do you want me to bring you here, or do you want me to come here and sit down?"
"Hmph, sit down if you want."
Tang Xinyi said the most hard-hitting soft words and sat down next to Shen Changgong.
The carriage started moving.
Shen Changgong picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, handed one to Tang Xinyi, and took one for himself and took a sip.
Tang Xinyi was thirsty, so she took a cup of tea and poured it into her mouth.
Shen Changgong said,
"There's drugs in the tea."
Tang Xinyi immediately spat the tea in her mouth back into the cup, her movements extremely smooth.
Shen Changgong burst into laughter because of her amusing her.
Tang Xinyi then remembered that Shen Changgong had also drunk the tea.
Xiao Mei was so angry that she raised her fist and hit Shen Changgong hard.
Well, it feels like tickling.
"I've never lost my composure as much as I have these past two days in my entire life. I'm so pissed off!"
Tang Xinyi took the tea, poured it out of the window, and then poured herself a cup of tea.
"Then you'll have to get used to it in the future. This is how I talk."
"Bah, who has a future with you?"
Tang Xinyi muttered softly and asked again,
"Where are we going?"
"I heard there's a temple on Bihua Mountain where burning incense is very effective. I plan to go there and pray for peace and prosperity for the people of Dayan, and for good weather and good harvests on your behalf."
"Bihua Mountain?"
Sure enough, when Tang Xinyi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
She still wanted to go very much, but she never made it, which became a regret in her heart.
"Have you been there?"
Shen Changgong asked.
Tang Xinyi shook her head.
"I haven't been there. I've always wanted to go because I'm busy with business."
"Business is a man's job. As a woman, don't you even have the right to go out, Madam Yang?"
Hearing this, Tang Xinyi lowered her eyes slightly and said with some disappointment,
"There are always many things in life that are beyond our control, right? Like right now."
"Mrs. Yang still wants to leave?"
Shen Changgong looked at Tang Xinyi and asked seriously.
Tang Xinyi didn't dare to look him in the eye. With infinite emotions rising in her heart, she still said,
"If I don't want to leave, where can I go? Will I live in your barracks all the time? Who am I to your Yan army?"
"That makes sense. Madam Yang, would you consider becoming an official in Dayan? After becoming an official, you can stay in Shengjing and don't have to travel around all the time.
As a married girl, it is not right for you to return to your uncle's house. A single woman with so much gold, silver and treasures is likely to attract someone's attention.
Even if there are no bandits on the road, if you arrive at your relative's house, will your relative not covet your money?
Aren't the corrupt officials in your neighborhood worried about you? They can find any excuse to get rid of you, and then your money will be taken away by others, and your life will be gone.
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.
On the contrary, if you stay in Great Yan and serve as an official, you will be protected by the imperial court and the Yan army, and naturally no one will dare to touch you."
Hearing this, Tang Xinyi was indeed moved.
I used to think too simply. Three weak women, carrying a cart full of gold and silver, parading through the city, isn't that courting death?
Not to mention reaching Qian Country, I’m afraid I can’t even reach Kun Country.
If you buy a few slaves, there is a possibility that the other party will be tempted by their wealth and kill them and steal your gold and silver.
She might encounter bandits on the road, or wandering soldiers and enemy troops at the border. Anyone could rob her.
Even if she went to Qian Kingdom, her neighbors and government officials might be after her money. If she found a husband, his family might also be after her money and might harm her.
Only Shen Changgong was not short of money and did not care about her money, but only about her body.
She thinks the world is too simple.
For a woman, having a stable life is the greatest blessing.
In troubled times, people are worse than ants.
Tang Xinyi lowered her head and asked,
"But, I'm not very talented or well-educated. Can I really stay and become an official? Will you Yan people let a widow like me become an official?"
“In Dayan, men and women are all equal; as long as they are talented, they can become officials.
Look at those around me. Que Ling is my right-hand man who helps me manage military affairs in an orderly manner. Wan'er is your Majesty's assistant who is in charge of the intelligence of the entire country.
We don’t look at gender, we only look at whether it’s useful or not.”
Tang Xinyi curled her lips and said,
"Bah, you haven't seen my talent, and you want me to be an official, do you want me to stay and be your concubine?
You can't see my talent, but you can see my beauty clearly."
Shen Changgong laughed and said
"Madam Yang is such a quick-witted person. I really like you and have this in mind. However, with your talent, being a concubine would be a waste of it. So I want you to serve the State of Yan.
Firstly, it is to break the precedent that Kun women cannot be officials. Secondly, I also want to let the Kun scholars see that as long as they have talent, not to mention Kun people, even Kun women can be officials.
This will help win over the people and bring the scholars of Kun back to their side."
"So that's how it is. It's hard for you, Prince Shen, to come up with so many excuses just to appease me."
Tang Xinyi pouted slightly and turned her head away from Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong was not in a hurry either. Picking up girls is not something that can be rushed.
After all, not every woman would be like that chivalrous heroine, rushing to give him sex.
"I asked Madam the question yesterday, but Madam hasn't answered me yet. Have you thought it through?"
"what is the problem?"
"The policies governing Kundi. You can also consider this as an assessment of you."
