Tangning walked upstairs and before returning to her room, she glanced down and saw that the woman just now had left.
Unexpectedly, as the capital of the Chen Kingdom, the social atmosphere of the Capital City was not as good as that of Lingzhou. The Pengci Immortal Dance was so blatant, which instantly lowered his impression of the Capital City.
Although the woman was quite beautiful, he couldn't remember which philosopher said that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie.
Love luck and so on are all made up by YY novels. How can it be so easy to encounter? If the old beggar calculated his love luck so accurately, why didn't he figure out that he was tricked by himself?
Speaking of the old beggar, although he is a bit cunning in business, he is very honest and trustworthy in life.
All he cared about was fine wine, and he never asked where the wine came from, and he didn't care what method Tang Ning used. He acted like a master, and it was really unpredictable.
Peng Chen and the old beggar were in the rooms on his left and right respectively. Tangning returned to the room and lay on the bed. Thinking of the woman just now, she thought that although the social atmosphere in the capital was not very good, the girl was really as beautiful as the old beggar said.
, even a woman who touches porcelain looks so beautiful...
No wonder before leaving, Tang Yaoyao told him not to get involved with women in the capital. The capital was so prosperous, with temptations everywhere, and the environment was like this. If he didn't have the determination like him, it would be easy to get intoxicated and delay his studies.
…
Tang Mansion.
A figure walked quickly from the front, and the two concierges immediately bowed and said: "The lady is back."
The woman waved to them and strode into the mansion. A voice came from behind her.
"Where did Shui'er go so early in the morning?"
The woman turned around, looked at the middle-aged man who walked slowly into the house, and said with a smile: "Second uncle is back. I just have nothing to do, so I went out for a walk."
The middle-aged man looked at her and said, "You are a girl. If you are bored, you can work as a female celebrity at home on weekdays instead of running around outside all the time."
"Second uncle, I understand." The girl nodded obediently and left quickly.
The middle-aged man watched her leave, shook his head, walked into another courtyard, and entered the side hall.
He looked at a figure standing in front of the window and asked, "Is he really here?"
Tang Huai stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, nodded and said: "I went to the Ministry of Etiquette to get the test quotation this morning."
Tang Qi thought for a while and said: "In the past ten years or so, only one jade belt has been awarded as a reward for the local and state trials. His Majesty's thoughts are elusive, and it is better to be still than to move."
Tang Huai breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm just afraid that someone doesn't want us to be quiet..."
Tang Qi shook his head and sighed: "If Xiaoyu hadn't been willful and reckless back then, how could what happened today be possible?"
Tang Huai waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the past anymore. You don't need to interfere in this matter. No one will care about an ordinary candidate. As long as he doesn't win the first place, he will leave the capital sooner or later.
"
There was a strange look in Tang Qi's eyes, and he said: "If he can really win the top prize, things will be easier to handle."
Although the Tang family didn't want others in the capital to know about the scandal, if he could win the first prize, it wouldn't be a scandal and could even turn into a good thing.
Of course, Tang Qi knew in his heart that this possibility was extremely slim.
Those who can participate in the provincial examination are all outstanding talents selected from various states and governments. How difficult is it to stand out from these people and win the first place?
What's more, there are outstanding people in the capital. Those students from big families have been taught by famous teachers since they were young. They have a rich foundation. How can they be compared to those students who come from small places?
Tang Huai did not continue his topic, turned to look at him and said: "These days, you still need to be careful of those who are interested and don't give them opportunities."
Tang Qi nodded and said, "I understand."
The two talked secretly in the room for a while. When Tang Qi walked out of the yard, a young man came over to him and asked in a low voice: "Dad, I heard from mother that that scoundrel has come to the capital?"
"Shut up!" Tang Qi glanced at him and said, "This is not something you can talk about. The provincial exam is coming soon, so why don't you study hard to avoid embarrassing the Tang family?"
When the young man heard this, he retracted his head and said hurriedly: "Dad, please hurry up, I have something else to do..."
While the young man fled in a hurry, in another part of the Tang Mansion, the young woman returned to her courtyard, closed the courtyard door, walked to the base of a certain wall, skillfully climbed up the courtyard wall, jumped into the yard next door, and landed steadily.
A soft voice sounded in the courtyard, "Next time you come here, just go through the main entrance. What if you fall and get bumped?"
"It's okay. If you can fall like this, wouldn't it be a waste of time to learn martial arts?" The woman looked at the figure standing in the courtyard, walked over quickly, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, I..., I just saw him.
.”
The figure trembled slightly, and his voice was a little panicked, "He, he is here?"
The woman nodded and said: "I have greeted all the inns in the capital in advance. As long as he comes to the capital, I will know immediately."
She raised her head, looked at her and said, "His eyes are very similar to my sister-in-law's."
Opposite her, the young woman's face showed deep worry, and she murmured: "He shouldn't have come, he shouldn't have come to the capital..."
The woman looked at her, thought for a moment and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go see him?"
The young woman shook her head violently: "No, no, this will hurt him. I can't see him..."
The woman held her hand and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't let anyone hurt him."
"Just stay at home and don't go anywhere!" As soon as the woman finished speaking, a voice came from the door.
"Dad, why are you..." The girl just started to speak, but was interrupted by a wave of hands coming in.
Tang Jing looked at her and said: "You don't know anything, and don't tell him anything. Let him finish the provincial examination with peace of mind, or fail the exam and return to his hometown, or pass the imperial examination, and wait for the imperial court to send him. You can help him."
It’s hurting him!”
The woman frowned and defended: "But my sister-in-law..."
"I'm fine." The young woman smiled and said, "As long as he is fine, it doesn't matter if he passes or fails the exam, as long as he is safe..."
Tang Jing looked away, paused, and then continued: "If he can pass the provincial examination, and be selected as the number one scholar in the palace examination by His Majesty, things may turn around."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the young woman and said, "Before this, you are not allowed to do anything!"
"If you don't do it, don't do it!" The woman glared at him, turned around and left angrily.
Tang Jing looked at the woman in the courtyard, sighed, and said, "I've suffered a lot from you these past years."
The young woman looked in a certain direction and said with a smile: "As long as he is safe, everything is fine with me."
Although she was smiling, there were two traces of tears on her face.
At the door of the Tang Mansion, a young man strode out, curled his lips, and said, "Why do you want to disgrace the Tang family? It's that scoundrel who disgraced the Tang family, not me..."
