After sending Su Mei away, Tang Ning noticed that the girl from Red Sleeve Pavilion looked at him obviously differently.
Not only his eyes are different, but his behavior is also different.
Tangning was just planning to sit for a while and listen to the music, when several figures gathered around her.
"Young Master, are you thirsty? I'll make you some tea." This was Chu Chu.
"Master, are you tired? Let me give you a shoulder squeeze." This is Yingying.
"Sir, let me give you a leg kick..." This was Jingjing.
…
The girls who didn't get the chance to make tea, squeeze their shoulders and beat their legs, had no choice but to retreat with expressions of disappointment and regret.
"No, no, I'm not tired, and I'm not thirsty either..." Tang Ning quickly refused. As she spoke, two pairs of catkins appeared on her shoulders and legs.
Yingying squeezed his shoulders and said, "Young master, please be careful. Su Mei is just like her name. She is a coquettish woman who only seduces men everywhere. You must not be fooled by her."
Tangning nodded and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
Their worries were completely unnecessary. In front of him, Su Mei had completely given up the burden of being a goddess and restored her true nature. He could not confuse her at all.
But thinking about the way she crossed her legs to touch the cards, and how gentle and charming she pretended to be in front of others, I'm afraid it would be very hard.
The longer a person's nature is suppressed, the more channels are needed to vent it. Therefore, there are many people who appear bright and bright on the surface, but when they are alone, they look completely different from what they appear before others.
Su Mei probably belongs to this kind of person. The strange thing is that her way of relaxing is to play cards, and with him. Tang Ning could not have imagined that besides being good-looking, knowledgeable, hard-working, brave, mature and steady, and humorous, Tangning also
What are the other advantages?
I wonder what exactly Su Mei likes about him?
Xiao Jue was sitting in the distance, looking in a certain direction. When he saw Tang Ning surrounded by stars, he couldn't help but ask Peng Chen: "In terms of appearance, family background, temperament..., what do I do?"
How are you inferior to him?"
Peng Chen didn't speak, just looked at him and lowered his eyes.
…
After the Lantern Festival, the biggest event in the capital in the near future is the provincial examination held in early March.
According to Li Tianlan, he actually doesn't need to spend too much time preparing.
After all, although his policy statement cannot be said to be a beautiful article, it will not lose points. At this level, it is difficult to improve further, let alone a qualitative change in just one month.
However, despite what Miss Li said, she still came on time the next day, had breakfast at Hongxiu Pavilion, helped him read the policy, and did not leave until noon.
After lunch, Tangning walked in the backyard for a while and was about to go back to her room to take a nap. As soon as she walked in the back door, she saw the boy walking in from the front door.
When the young man saw him, he strode over and said angrily: "You lied to me yesterday!"
Tangning looked at him and asked, "What did I lie to you about?"
"I asked you not to leave yesterday..."
"But I didn't agree..."
The young man was stunned, looked at Tangning and asked, "I am the prince, why don't you agree?"
"The prince also needs to be reasonable." Tangning looked at the naturally stupid fat man and said, "The prince is not a robber. When asking people to do things, you have to ask for their consent."
The young man thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense. His father taught him this before, but no one except his father had ever said these words to him. The eunuchs and maids in the palace were all told by him. They
Just do whatever you want.
But these are not important anymore. He looked up at Tang Ning and asked: "I heard from Fang Xintong that you made a lot of delicious food for Fang Xinyue. I ordered you... No, I asked you...
"
He scratched his head and said: "Anyway, you have to make it for me."
Tangning looked at him, shook her head and said, "But I can't cook..."
The young man was startled when he heard this and said, "But Fang Xintong said..."
"Do you believe what Fang Xintong said?"
"..."
The young man seemed to have not figured out something. He tried his best to recall. Tangning looked at Fang Hong behind him and asked, "Why are Master Fang here?"
"Send King Run back to the palace." Fang Hong looked at him and said, "He knew you were in Hongxiu Pavilion and insisted on coming in to take a look."
Tangning nodded and asked casually, "Is Concubine Shu feeling better?"
Fang Hong shook his head and said, "Someone from the palace said that Concubine Shu's condition has become more serious."
Tang Ning was a little surprised. When Fang Hong mentioned this matter yesterday, he just mentioned it casually. Now it seems that the situation does not seem optimistic.
No wonder Fang Hong seems to be in a low mood. Concubine Fang Shu is her biological sister and the Fang family's biggest supporter in Beijing. If something happens to her, the Fang family will undoubtedly be the most affected.
Of course, as a mere relative, he would definitely be worried.
Fang Hong sighed and said: "It would be great if Divine Doctor Sun was in the capital. I have already sent people to Lingzhou to ask for Divine Doctor Sun..."
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Mr. Sun left Lingzhou half a month ago. He said he was going on a long trip. I'm afraid Master Fang won't be able to invite him this time."
"What?" Fang Hong's expression changed, with a look of disappointment on his face. When he saw Tang Ning, he seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly said, "Tang Jieyuan is the junior disciple of Divine Doctor Sun..."
Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "Master Fang has misunderstood. I only know a little about medical skills, but I can't compare with Mr. Sun."
The imperial palace has a medical hospital, and the doctors in the hospital are all highly skilled in medicine. Tangning doesn't even have to think about diseases that they are helpless to deal with.
Fang Hong sighed and said: "Your Majesty will blame you if you return to the palace late. I will take Prince Run back to the palace first. If you encounter anything in the capital, please send someone to the Fangfu Branch to report it."
Tang Ning nodded and sent Fang Hong and King Run out.
The young man walked out of the door, looked back at him, and said, "Don't lie to me. If you let me know that you lied to me, I will let my father beat you."
Tangning walked back to Hongxiu Pavilion. The old beggar looked at him and said, "Let's go to Tiantianju for dinner tonight. It doesn't cost any money. Their wine is pretty good..."
The old beggar's interest in distilled wine is no longer as good as before. This kind of wine lacks the mellow aroma, and anyone who drinks too much will get bored. Although the old beggar can't be said to be bored, he has started to drink other types of wine again.
Of course, although distilled liquor was not as attractive to him as before, judging from his appearance, he planned to stay by his side.
Tang Ning estimated that he planned to use him as a long-term free meal ticket and wine ticket. After all, in this era of declining society, a good person like him who respects the old and loves the young, takes care of food, drinks, housing, and watching beautiful women dance, isn't it right?
too much.
If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.
If you want to stay with someone, you must first make them a habit.
Although Tang Ning didn't want to face Su Mei, but in order to cultivate the good habit of stretching out his hands when wearing old beggar clothes and opening his mouth when drinking wine, he agreed without hesitation.
The old beggar patted his shoulder with satisfaction and said: "Boy, I am doing this for your own good. That little girl from Tianju is not only a natural charmer, but she also seems to have practiced charm skills.
She is even rarer. She is simply the best among women. If you can win her, you will benefit a lot in the future..."
Tang Ning shook his head. He couldn't stand Su Mei being "slave" and "mother" at one time or another. Her charm was all pretended. What the world saw was the illusion she showed. Not everyone looked at her like this.
As profound as myself.
…
Natural residence, a small pavilion somewhere.
A servant looked at the people in the Accord apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Su is in poor health. It's inconvenient to see guests today. Please forgive me..."
"It doesn't matter." A young man waved his hand and said: "Since Miss Su is unwell, we don't want to bother her. Let's talk about it next time..."
The servant withdrew, and someone in the pavilion laughed and said: "It seems that Brother Xu's reputation is not big enough, and Miss Su is unwilling to come out..."
Another person shook his head and said: "After all, she is the most beautiful woman in the capital. How can she be so easy to meet? The second young master of the Tang family has asked to meet her several times, but he has never met her alone. Miss Su doesn't even give her the face of the Tang family."
, isn’t it normal to not give face to the Marquis Wu’an Mansion?”
At the window, a person turned around and said, "But if Miss Su goes to accompany someone else, wouldn't it be more than a loss of face?"
The man pointed in a direction outside the window and said, "I just saw Miss Su walking into that Accord."
A young man looked at him and asked, "Did you read that correctly?"
Liu Li nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Xu's reputation is really not big enough..."
