In ancient times, Chinese Valentine's Day was a very lively festival. The first year Tang Ning traveled through time, she did not have the opportunity to witness such liveliness.
The rain started falling on Chinese Valentine's Day and lasted all day and night. It not only extinguished Qing'er's desire to listen to the whispers of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but also temporarily extinguished the heat of the past few days.
My father-in-law is naturally happy about this. The temperature has dropped, which means that no one will die from the heat. People die from this every year in Yong'an County. If the heatstroke prevention work is not done well, he, the county magistrate, must also bear some responsibility.
This year is even worse than in previous years. A few days ago, due to the forced marriage, his relationship with the Lingzhou governor has dropped to a freezing point. The Lingzhou governor has not made any effort to embarrass him for so long. This is not in line with common sense.
Tang Ning found out from Tang Yaoyao about the character of the Lingzhou Governor. It is said that every penny must be weighed, and every injustice must be repaid. He is a villain among villains...
He estimated that because the opponent had been silent for so long, he was probably waiting for his skills to cool down so he could hold back his ultimate move.
One is the governor of a state, and the other is the magistrate of a county. The situation is really not optimistic. Tang Ning is actually secretly wary, but the situation is too passive, and he is single and weak, so he really can't make a big difference.
.
What he can do is to help his father-in-law, who is the county magistrate, keep an eye on him and prevent him from making any mistakes and others getting the handle.
Tangning was arranging her clothes in the room when Qing'er poked her head in from the outside and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Tangning straightened her collar and said, "It's almost ready."
He and Zhong Yi were going out to a banquet tonight, which he had promised a few days ago.
Qing'er ran in from the door and said in surprise: "Uncle, why are you still wearing this dress?"
At noon, Zhong Yi brought him another piece of clothing. Tang Ning fiddled with it for a long time. The buttons on that piece of clothing were straight and diagonal. He didn't know how to put it on, so he simply gave up.
Tangning picked up the clothes on the bedside and asked, "How do you wear this?"
"Oh, my uncle is so stupid!" Qing'er trotted over, picked up the dress, and said: "Qing'er, help you, hurry up, otherwise the lady will have to wait in a hurry!"
Tangning had no choice but to stretch out her hands and let her play with them.
Qing'er helped him take off his clothes and asked, "Uncle, the princess I mentioned last time was snatched away by a wild beast. What happened to her afterwards?"
She was talking about the adapted version of "Beauty and the Beast" that Tang Ning told her last time.
Tangning said casually: "Later, the beast turned into a prince from another country, married the princess, and lived a life without shame."
Qing'er asked while helping her button her buttons: "What is a life without shame?"
"After getting married, there will be no shame in life."
"Then the uncle and the young lady too?"
"no."
"Oh..." Qing'er nodded and said, "Uncle, let me tell you another story..."
Tangning thought for a while and said, "Once upon a time, there was a county magistrate's daughter. She had a silly maid, and an uncle..."
"Then what?"
"This silly maid is very stupid and confused. She always gets spanked for disobedience."
"What happens next?"
"That uncle went to bed early and got up early. He didn't have trouble getting up in the morning."
…
After finishing telling Qing'er's story, he also put on his clothes.
Tang Ning stood in front of the mirror and took a look. She looked like a human and a dog, but it looked like that.
Frankly speaking, he looks a little more handsome now than in his previous life, but he looks a little thin and thin. He can't eat or sleep in the future. He must consciously strengthen his exercise so that he can feel confident next time he encounters danger.
He asked Tang Yaoyao to stand behind him.
Tang Ning walked out of the yard, looked at Tang Yaoyao standing next to Zhong Yi, and asked in surprise, "Are you going too?"
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said unconvinced: "Why can you go but I can't?"
Yes, of course.
Tang Ning couldn't get it.
He knew who were attending this banquet.
He heard from Zhong Yi that the banquet was held by a very important family in Lingzhou City.
To what extent does one have status...
Within four generations of the Lingzhou Fang family, there was a Taifu, a prime minister, and two third-rank officials. Although the current Fang family has long lost its former glory, it still has many connections in the court.
Not only that, one of the favored concubines in the palace was the legitimate daughter of the Fang family.
The Fang family is in Lingzhou and is someone that even the governor of Lingzhou cannot afford to offend.
The old lady of the Fang family likes to be lively. This time, the old lady of the Fang family invited not only the ladies and ladies in Lingzhou City, but also a lot of talented people. Among them, there were many suitors.
Although Zhong Yi didn't say it clearly, Tang Ning could guess that he was going there to help her fend off those crazy bees and butterflies.
Two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Who knows how many suitors Zhong Yi has. With Tang Nvxia here, Tang Ning feels much more at ease.
What kind of crazy bees and butterflies can stop Tang Nuxia's kick?
In the carriage, Tang Yaoyao looked depressed: "My father is really insisting that I go to this stupid banquet. Those women have to write a few sour poems for any banquet. What's the point of writing poems? If you have the ability to do it,
shelf?"
Tang Ning could tell that Tang Yaoyao had a story.
Thinking of the scene where she was surrounded by people and forced to compose poems, Tang Ning wanted to laugh.
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said angrily: "Why are you laughing!"
"It's nothing..." Tangning shook her head and said, "I think what you said makes sense. If you have the ability to fight, there are things that can't be solved with a fight. What's the use of writing useless poems..."
Tang Yaoyao's shy and annoyed eyes turned into admiration and asked, "You think so too?"
Tangning nodded solemnly.
"Duplicity!" Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said: "You don't like to compose poetry, but you can still do it so well. Xiaoyi said she can't compare to you... One thing on the surface, another behind the scenes, you men
, not a single good thing!”
This is woman.
Tang Yaoyao was obviously in a bad mood, so Tang Ning simply closed her eyes and rested, so as not to suffer any unnecessary disaster.
He has been thinking about another thing these days.
Although Zhong Mingli used the power of the county government and did not find out his identity, it is impossible for such a big living person to jump out of the cracks in the rocks.
Does he have any friends or relatives here? Tangning didn't know these things.
Although this had nothing to do with him, Tangning still felt uneasy with her conscience if she didn't do something for him after accepting such a huge favor.
The carriage slowly stopped and Tang Ning opened her eyes. Tang Yaoyao had jumped out of the carriage and helped Zhong Yi down.
At this time, the sky was not completely dark yet. Tang Ning jumped out of the carriage and saw a mansion that was much more grand than the Zhong Mansion.
It is said that this is not the ancestral home of the Fang family, but just a garden of the Fang family in Lingzhou City.
At the gate, people were walking in one after another.
Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao walked forward and handed over the post.
After the servant checked the invitation, a smile appeared on his face, and he extended his hand and said: "Miss Zhong, Miss Tang, Mr. Tang, please come in..."
"These days, can any messy thing be called a young master?"
A snorting voice came from the side, and this voice was half-laughing and half-disdainful.
Zhong Yi frowned slightly, and an angry look appeared on Tang Yaoyao's face.
Tangning looked back and saw several young gentlemen walking towards her.
The leader's eyes glanced at Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao, then rested on him.
It's for myself.
Tang Ning looked at him, sighed, and said, "Why do you say this, Master?"
Zhong Yi was startled for a moment, then covered his mouth and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Tang Yaoyao was stunned longer than she was. After he realized what he was doing, he held his stomach and laughed regardless of his manners.
She bent over, covering her stomach with one hand, and slapped Tang Ning's shoulder hard with the other. The muscles on Tang Ning's face twitched. As a woman, in public, couldn't she pay attention to her image...
More importantly, her hands are very strong and it really hurts when she shoots!
