The young man named Xu Shou looked a little unhappy. It would be fine if Su Mei didn't see him. After all, she rarely agreed to appointments with other people. Even if she did, it was just to show her face in front of others.
But when he made an appointment to meet her, she became "unwell" and then went into someone else's room. Doesn't this make it clear that Xu Shou is not qualified to meet her? Where should he put his face in front of these friends?
Xu Shou looked at Liu Li and asked, "Who is in the room?"
Liu Li shook his head and said, "I didn't see it clearly. Maybe my eyes were wrong just now. Maybe that was not Miss Su Mei just now."
He smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, everyone. Let's drink and eat. It's rare that Brother Xu is treating us today, so don't be polite to him."
Xu Shou knew that this was Liu Li who was giving him the steps. He sat back down and a servant standing behind him immediately filled his glass with wine.
Xu Shou looked at the servant standing aside and said, "Stand at the door and watch to see if the person who comes out after a while is Su Mei."
"Yes, sir."
The servant nodded and immediately withdrew.
In another room, when Su Mei filled up the wine for him with her own hands, Tang Ning picked up the wine glass and wondered whether he should drink it.
He often beat her at cards, and often asked her to put notes on his face. Su Mei was talking about the humiliation she suffered today, and she would repay it in the future. She didn't know whether she meant on the poker field or some other field.
This woman seemed to be the type who would retaliate against others. Although she didn't poison his wine, she didn't know if she had added any ingredients secretly.
After thinking about it carefully, she felt that it shouldn't be the case. Tangning took a sip and said, "Thank you, Miss Su. I can do it myself."
The old beggar looked at his empty wine glass, shook his head, and poured it for himself.
Su Mei looked at them and said, "You guys eat slowly. If you have anything to do, just tell the servants. I'll go down and get busy first."
Tangning wanted her to leave as soon as possible and said, "Miss Su, go and do your work. Don't worry about us."
Su Mei glanced at him and walked out of the room.
The little maid behind her looked at her, thought for a moment, and asked, "Miss, why are you so nice to that guy?"
Su Mei looked at her and asked, "Is there any?"
The little maid nodded vigorously.
"Be nice to him so that he can play cards with me..." Su Mei sighed and said, "These days, there are not many people who can play cards with me..."
The little maid nodded in understanding. In another room, the servant walked into the room, walked up to Xu Shou, and whispered: "Master, the person who walked out of the room is indeed Miss Su Meisu."
Xu Shou picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the glass, and asked: "Who is in the room?"
The servant immediately said: "I have found out clearly that the person in the room is the leader of the Lantern Festival Poetry Club."
"The leader of the Lantern Festival Poetry Club, that crazy poet?" Xu Shou frowned, turned to look at the people on the table, and asked, "What is this person's background?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics." Liu Li thought for a while and said, "It is said that he came from Lingzhou. He tried to solve the Yuan Dynasty in the state and won the title from the second young master of Tang Dynasty. He wrote very good poems."
Liu Li looked at him and said: "Don't mess around. He was with Young Master Xiao that night. It is said that he is a friend of Young Master Xiao. There is no need to offend Young Master Xiao for someone who has nothing to do with him."
Xu Shou smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is the capital, how could I mess around? Besides, I have nothing to do with offending Young Master Xiao. The small Wu'an Marquis Mansion cannot afford to offend Duke Dingguo Mansion."
After he finished speaking, he waved to a servant behind him, "Come here."
…
The food in Tiantian Ju tasted really good. The old beggar let out a long wine burp, wiped his mouth carelessly with his sleeve, and lay down comfortably on the chair.
After all, he was a martial arts master. Tang Ning once suggested to him that he should change his image and pay for the clothes, but the old beggar refused without even thinking about it.
Later, Tang Ning let him go, but threatened him with the threat of not having any wine. He could be sloppy, but not dirty, and he couldn't pick his feet while eating. Although the old beggar was reluctant, but his weakness was caught, he also
I had no choice but to give in.
He still looks a bit slovenly now, but he doesn't have a bad smell. However, his behavior of wiping his mouth with his sleeves may not change for a while.
Tangning shook her head and said, "Are you full? Come back when you are full."
Although he could eat and drink for free in Tiantianju with the sign Su Mei gave him, if he really relied on this sign to eat and drink here for free every day - the old beggar was shameless, and Tang Ning wanted to do it himself.
From now on, I would come to Tianju less often for meals, which would also save me from having to deal with Su Mei a few times. Tang Ning always felt that this woman was not that simple.
He and the old beggar Peng Chen walked downstairs, and a young woman walked in outside the door.
Tang Ning passed by the woman. The woman suddenly stopped and turned her head to look at him. Tang Ning saw a moment of hesitation in her eyes.
But it was only for a moment.
A moment later, the woman fell to the ground, hugging Tang Ning's legs, and said in a crying voice: "You heartless person, just leave at your word, how can we, mother and son, live..."
At this time, almost every table downstairs was filled with guests. After the woman's sad voice sounded, countless eyes immediately looked over.
"what happened?"
"Who is that woman?"
"That person seems to be the leader of the Lantern Festival Poetry Club, Lingzhou Jieyuan Tangning."
"Is he a poetry madman?"
…
Everyone looked here with confusion. Tangning raised her eyebrows slightly, looked down at the woman, and asked, "Did the girl admit the wrong person?"
"Wrong person?" The woman got up from the ground, pointed at him, and said disappointedly: "We promised each other at the beginning, but how long has it been and you don't recognize me anymore?"
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Do you know my name?"
The woman looked at him and said, "Of course I remember, your name is Tangning."
"That girl really recognized the wrong person." Tang Ning looked at her, shook her head and said, "My name is Peng Chen."
Peng Chen behind him looked up at him.
The woman looked at Tang Ning with a look of surprise on her face. At this moment, a voice came from behind.
"When did Tangning, the leader of the Lantern Festival Poetry Club, the mad poet, change his name?"
Tang Ning turned around and saw a young man walking over accompanied by several people. Among the people behind him, Tang Ning saw the Young Master from the Ministry of Rites.
When Tang Ning looked at the woman again, she understood what was going on.
It turns out that all the stupid dudes I saw in novels that I sent to slap in the face were all fake. They actually thought of hiring extras and providing assists at critical moments...
The woman had come to her senses at this moment, looked at Tang Ning, with a sad look on her face again, and said loudly: "I can recognize you even if you turn into ashes. You said you wanted to marry me, but now that you're gone, the two of you are gone."
Nian, you, don’t you want me anymore?”
Everyone around them had expressions of interest on their faces.
"Is this... chaos at the beginning and abandonment at the end?"
"I didn't expect that the crazy poet would have such a romantic affair..."
"Someone actually came to visit me. It's really exciting now."
…
Xu Shou came from behind, looked at Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "This is your fault, Chief Tang. People who study are learning the words of saints and the way of self-cultivation. How can you do this kind of thing?
Something that has a beginning but no end?”
Scholars must not only have profound knowledge, but also have noble qualities.
The court selects not only talents but also virtues. Most people who have major stains in their lives will not make much progress in their official careers. The same is true for the imperial examinations. The examiners can cause chaos because of someone's behavior.
The final abandonment, the abandonment of the wretched wife, will bring down the person who passed the examination.
Xu Shou looked at Tang Ning, shook his head and said, "Even I can't stand what Chief Tang did. Today I will make the decision for this girl!"
Even Tang Ning had to admit that there was almost no solution to such a thing.
If you admit it, you are in chaos and give up, and if you don't admit it, you are in chaos and give up without repentance. Where did these dandies from the capital learn their disgusting methods?
Tang Ning looked at the woman and said seriously: "Girl, you and I have never known each other and have no grievances. Why are you doing this?"
There was a trace of hesitation in the woman's eyes, but it soon turned into determination, and she gritted her teeth and said: "That's all, if you don't recognize me, I'll just leave. I will raise the child by myself..."
After saying that, she quickly ran out the door.
Tangning couldn't let her go. If she left, this matter would never be cleared up.
As soon as he took a step, his steps stopped.
A figure appeared in front of the woman, blocking her way.
Su Mei looked at the woman and asked, "Who ordered you?"
A flash of panic flashed across the woman's face, she shook her head and said, "What's the order?"
Snapped!
Su Mei slapped her in the face and asked again: "Who ordered you?"
The woman covered her face, froze in place, and trembled: "No one..."
Snapped!
Su Mei slapped her on the other side of the face again and asked again: "Who ordered you?"
"without……"
Snapped!
"who are you……"
Snapped!
…
Tang Ning had to admit that at this moment, Su Hu was very domineering.
Both sides of the woman's face were swollen. After receiving another slap on the face, her knees softened and she fell to the ground. She said in a voiceless voice: "I don't know, I just took the money, I don't know anything..."
