Su Mei's figure disappeared upstairs, and Xu Qingyang and Zhang Yansheng gradually recovered from their sluggishness.
Zhang Yansheng bowed his hand to him and said with some admiration: "Brother Tang, you are amazing..."
Tang Ning knew that when he said "powerful", he meant that he had fallen in love with Su Mei, but the problem was that he hadn't fallen in love with her yet. Not only that, he also had to be wary of being picked up by her at all times.
He shook his head and said solemnly: "Brother Xu and Brother Zhang, don't get me wrong. Miss Su Mei and I are just ordinary friends."
This kind of thing spreads from person to person, and it's true that Su Huxu doesn't care about her reputation?
Even if Su Huhu didn't think about her reputation, Tangning still had to think about his own. Otherwise, how could he explain to Xiaoru and Xiaoyi when they arrived in the capital some time later?
Zhang Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, don't worry, I understand, I understand."
Xu Qingyang thought of something and asked, "I heard that Mr. Zhong is going to be transferred to the capital?"
Tangning nodded.
Xu Qingyang smiled and said: "I think Miss Zhong will go to Beijing soon. In this way, Brother Tang will not have to suffer the pain of missing each other."
Tang Ning was also looking forward to it. No matter how good the hospitality at Red Sleeve Pavilion was, how could he be as considerate as his wife?
"Miss Zhong?" Xiao Jue looked suspicious, "Do you still have a Miss Zhong in Lingzhou?"
Tangning looked at him and said, "She is my wife."
"Madam, do you have a wife?" Xiao Jue was shocked when he heard this.
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "I told you that Miss Su and I have nothing to do, but you don't believe me."
"What happened to Miss Guan Su?" Xiao Jue looked at him and laughed: "You have a wife, and..."
Before he finished his sentence, he patted the table and said happily: "You still said you are different from me!"
"..."
Let Xiao Jue lie to him. Telling him the truth would hurt him too much. After thinking about it, Tang Ning decided to leave him the last bit of man's dignity.
Xiao Jue was obviously in a much better mood. He pointed at Tang Ning and introduced Liu Jun and the others: "Although he is from Lingzhou, don't underestimate him. He got a good question in the first test of his state, and he was brought in for the policy review."
When he returned to the capital, His Majesty praised him personally in front of all the officials, and made an exception by giving him a jade belt. Needless to say, I can't tell you how good his poems are..."
Liu Jun and the others only knew about Madman Shi, but they didn't know what Xiao Jue said. They looked at Tang Ning in surprise and said, "It turns out that he was the one who was rewarded with the jade belt by Your Majesty. Even that beast like Gu Bai didn't receive such treatment..."
"Brother Liu, please explain clearly, why is Gu Bai such a beast?"
Liu Jun turned to look at a young man walking over and asked doubtfully: "Did I say something just now?"
The young man was quite handsome with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. He looked at Tang Ning and smiled and said, "It's Tang Jieyuan from Lingzhou, I've admired his name for a long time."
Xiao Jue introduced: "Gu Bai, the beast Liu Jun just mentioned, is the leader of the Five Prefectures of Gyeonggi Province."
The quality of students in Chen's states varies greatly. The quality of students from the Jiangnan generation and the capital is generally higher than that from other places. The five prefectures in the capital are considered to be of high quality.
In other words, if you want to become the number one pick and take the lead, the person in front of you is also a powerful opponent.
Although this was the first time he heard this name, Tang Ning still raised his hand and said, "Brother Gu's name has been famous for a long time."
Liu Jun looked at the two of them and said: "Both of them are beasts. This year's provincial and palace examinations will be up to you..."
This Wuzhou Jieyuan seemed to be humble and polite, and he was able to hang out with Xiao Jue and the others. Tangning was a little surprised, but at least there was a normal person among them, which was comforting.
Just when this thought came up in his mind, a young man named Gu Bai looked at him and asked with a gossipy face: "Brother Tang, what did Miss Su just say to you? When did you start? From the Shangyuan Festival
That night? What did you do for an hour that night?"
Tang Ning looked at his expression of curiosity and gossip that was not inferior to that of Liu Jun and the others, and sighed inwardly. He really shouldn't have placed too high hopes on Xiao Jue's friends...
A figure walked in from outside, walked to a table somewhere and sat down. He poured a cup of tea first, drank it in one gulp, and then said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was delayed by something, so I'm late."
The young man in rich clothes looked at the thin young man who arrived late and said with a smile: "It's okay, Princess Anyang hasn't come out yet, so it's not too late."
After he finished speaking, his tone changed and he asked again: "By the way, is your cousin Xu Shou's injury okay?"
"I just came out of Wu'an Hou's Mansion. The imperial doctor said that if I recover well, I can barely walk, but it is impossible to recover like an ordinary person." The thin young man shook his head, with a stern look in his eyes, and said: "Don't let it happen.
I know who did it!"
The young man in rich clothes shook his head and said: "You are on duty in the palace, so it is normal for you not to know what is going on outside. The person who broke Xu Shou's leg is here today."
"What!" The thin man suddenly raised his head, the tea cup in his hand was crushed into pieces, and asked: "Where is he?"
Liu Li pointed in a certain direction and said, "It's not necessarily him. It's just that he and Xu Shou had some conflicts that night. Later, as soon as we separated, Xu Shou was plotted against. He is the most suspected."
The thin man threw the pieces of the tea cup in his hand on the table and stood up.
In the small attic, a woman looked at Tang Shui and asked, "Sister Tang Shui, what are you looking at?"
She followed Tang Shui's gaze and wondered, "Isn't that Lu Teng? What is he going to do?"
A little further away, Su Mei, who was talking to someone, suddenly looked down.
A woman with outstanding temperament opposite looked at her and asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"Princess, I'm sorry, but I have to excuse you for a moment." Su Mei smiled at her, turned around and walked downstairs.
The woman was startled for a moment, then followed her downstairs.
Downstairs, Tangning was sitting in her seat, looking up at the thin man standing next to him.
The thin man looked at him and asked expressionlessly: "Did you have Xu Shou's legs broken?"
Xiao Jue stood up, frowned and said, "Lu Teng, this is not a place for you to act wild."
Tangning slowly stood up, looked at him, and said, "No."
The thin man stared at him and said, "Even if Xu Shou had offended you in some way, you shouldn't have used this method."
Tang Ning understood that this person was not here to question him, but to raise an army to question him.
The fact is that he really didn't do this. Although he wanted to do it, he was overtaken by the unknown hero.
"You broke one of Xu Shou's legs, and I'll take one of yours. This matter will be settled, okay?" The thin man looked at him, his tone was still very calm, as if he was announcing something ordinary.
But something.
"Lu Teng, how dare you!" Xiao Jue stood up and stood in front of Tang Ning. He knew that Lu Teng was impulsive and might actually do something.
A woman with outstanding temperament stepped forward and asked: "What happened?"
Lu Teng turned to look at the woman and said, "Princess, Lu Teng has to deal with some private matters here today. I hope Princess will not blame you."
Princess Anyang looked at him and said calmly: "No matter what happens to you, you can deal with it how you want out of this garden, but not here."
Lu Teng looked at her for a long time, nodded, looked at Tangning again, and said, "After the things here are over tonight, I'll wait for you outside the garden."
"What are you waiting for him outside the garden?" A voice came from behind him.
Lu Teng turned his head and looked at the woman walking over, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. He quickly returned to normal and explained: "He had one of Xu Shou's legs broken, and I will take his other leg."
The woman looked at him and asked, "You want to take one of his legs?"
Lu Teng nodded.
"Do you really want to take one of his legs?"
Lu Teng nodded again.
boom!
The woman bent her knees and pushed him hard on the stomach. Lu Teng immediately bowed down, his face turned pale, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
The woman hit him on the back of the neck with her elbow again, gritted her teeth and said, "Why do you bully him!"
Plop!
Lu Teng fell to the ground and became silent again.
Tang Ning was stunned when he saw the porcelain-touching woman he met when he first arrived in the capital.
"Don't bully him." The woman glanced at Lu Teng who was lying on the ground, turned around, and looked at a table in front of her.
