Xiao Jue walked in from the outside, saw the boxes that Tang Ning placed in the yard, and asked, "These are also gifts from King Kang?"
Tang Ning nodded. He just opened these boxes and took a look. Although they didn't contain any real gold or silver, they contained a lot of valuable utensils, calligraphy and paintings. In terms of value, they were much larger than a box full of silver.
He planned to pick out some useful things from them and sell all the other messy things. In comparison, it was still more practical to hold the banknotes in his hands.
"Kang Kang is really willing to give up this time." Xiao Jue clapped his hands and said: "The ones sent to you are more than those sent to the Xiao family, but it's no wonder, even if he gives these things to others, he can't get rid of them.
The king is a minister of household affairs."
He sat opposite Tang Ning and asked, "Have you decided whether you want to be on King Kang's side in the future?"
Tang Ning handed him the teapot and asked, "Are you standing here to conceive the king?"
"That's right." Xiao Jue poured himself a cup of tea and said, "You are incompatible with the Tang family, which means you are incompatible with King Duan. King Huai is just a foil, so we can only choose King Kang."
In fact, Tang Ning doesn't have a choice or not. What he can't do, Kang Wang can do. What Kang Wang wants to do, he needs a reason. He gives Kang Wang a reason, and Kang Wang helps him do it. Everyone gets what he needs.
That’s all.
As for taking sides, he doesn't need to think about it now.
Xiao Jue stopped talking about this matter and asked: "Hey, I will take office in three months. What are your plans during this time?"
"What are your plans?"
Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "This is the last three months of free time. After taking office, I won't be as free as you are now. Why don't you take advantage of this time to relax?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "I'm planning to get married next month. Would you like to come over for a banquet?"
"Getting married?" Xiao Jue was startled and asked, "Have you not already been married? How many will you marry this time?"
Tangning held out two fingers.
"Two? Don't you already have two?" Xiao Jue widened his eyes and asked: "Who to marry this time, Miss Tang must be one, who is the other, Miss Li... Could it be Miss Su!
"
Tang Yaoyao poked her head out from outside the courtyard: "Who called me?"
"It's the other Miss Tang." Tang Ning waved her hand, and Tang Yaoyao's head retracted.
"Another Miss Tang?" Xiao Jue spit out a sip of tea, stood up from the stool, and said in shock: "Are you talking about Miss Tang Shui? She is your sister!"
After he finished speaking, he patted his head again: "No, I forgot, she is just your cousin, not a kiss..."
"None of them!" Tang Ning glanced at him angrily. Xiao Jue, although her body was as pure as a little white flower, her heart was already filthy.
After hearing Tang Ning's explanation, he suddenly realized. Then he looked at him and said, "A man who married twice deserves to be the number one scholar. He really knows how to play..."
Tangning glanced at him and asked, "You are already eighteen, if you don't get a wife now, when will you wait?"
Xiao Jue puffed up his chest and said, "I don't like those vulgar fans."
Tangning thought for a while and said, "How did I hear that Mr. Xiao asked matchmakers to go to many high schools in the capital, but no one agreed to the marriage with the Xiao family? It's because of you..."
"Nonsense!" Before Tang Ning could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Xiao Jue. He slapped the stone table and said, "Those are all rumors. To tell you the truth, I went to a brothel a few days ago..."
"Are you asking ten girls to feed mosquitoes?"
Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "You and I are no longer the same."
"You can't fool me." Tangning looked at him and said with a smile, "The old man has already taught me his skills of observing people. You are still you, we are the same."
Xiao Jue sneered and said, "You're already married, and you still have the nerve to say you're like me?"
Tangning smiled and said, "It will be different soon..."
The old beggar is really knowledgeable and omnipotent. He can actually tell such things through his face. To a certain extent, the fortune-telling he used to do on the street was not just random.
He also said that he had a peach blossom catastrophe, and Tang Ning had been waiting for it for a long time, and she still hadn't received it yet.
Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi will be welcomed into the house at the beginning of June. Now the house has been completely completed. Since it is a renovation rather than a new building, there is no such thing as excessive formaldehyde in this era. It leaves two days for cleaning and you can move in right away.
Before that, he still had to sleep in Hongxiu Pavilion for two more days.
He opened the door and walked in. Su Mei was sitting barefoot on the edge of the bed, her calves dangling irregularly.
"Why are you here..." When she saw Tang Ning, she perked up and said, "Come here quickly, let's play two games and then go to bed."
Su Mei is now a master at poker. It is not easy for Tang Ning to win against her. After playing five games, he lost three games and had three white stripes on his face, while Su Mei only had two.
"Okay, I lose today. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early." Tang Ning rolled up a mat and spread it on the ground.
If he changes rooms, Shopkeeper Xu and the others may suspect him, so he'd better spend the night on the ground first.
"What counts as your loss? It's you who lose..." Su Mei lay on the bed, looked at him, and said, "It's so cold on the ground. You should sleep on the bed. This bed is so big that it can sleep two people."
The bed was quite big, but he didn't know it when Su Hu climbed up while he was asleep that night.
In the waking state, the meaning is different.
Tangning lay on the mat, closed her eyes and said, "No, I like sleeping on the floor."
Su Mei was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "Do you think I'm shameless?"
Tang Ning put her hands behind her head and said, "Don't think I can't see that you are still a young girl, so don't pretend to be battle-hardened."
Su Mei sat up from the bed, protecting her chest with her hands, and said in shock: "How did you see that?"
Tangning opened her eyes and said calmly, "Do you think you are the only one who can tell?"
Su Mei glanced at him and said: "If you don't want to sleep on the bed, you won't sleep on the bed. Then sleep closer to the bed."
Tang Ning turned over and lay down next to the bed. She looked up at Su Mei and said, "Do you know that your face looks very big from here?"
"Go to hell!"
Su Mei shrank into the bed so that Tang Ning could no longer see her.
Tangning thought for a moment and said, "By the way, there's something I forgot to tell you. I'm getting married on the 9th of next month."
"June 9th?" A surprised voice came from the bed, "Aren't you already married?"
"Let's do it again. Would you like to come over for a wedding drink then?"
"Are you sure you want me to come over?" Su Mei's tone contained a hint of teasing.
Tang Ning thought about it. If Su Fox went, it would steal all his limelight, but he didn't have many friends in the capital, so he couldn't justify not inviting her. He thought about it carefully and said, "When you go that day
, why don’t you cover your face?”
Su Mei yawned: "Let's talk about it then..."
Tangning closed her eyes and said, "One more thing. If I sleep here for two more nights, I probably won't be able to rest here again."
"Why?" Su Mei's voice suddenly lost all sleepiness.
"I bought a house in the capital. I will move in in two days. From now on, no one will compete with you for your bed."
Su Mei didn't answer this time. With a flick of her finger, the candle on the table was extinguished. She covered herself with the quilt and said, "Go to sleep."
She lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
She originally thought that her insomnia would be cured by lying on this bed, but now it seems that the reason why she can sleep peacefully here is not because of this bed.
She gritted her teeth, feeling secretly ashamed in her heart. Did this guy pour some kind of ecstasy soup into her? Why could she sleep peacefully and comfortably when he was around?
If this is the case, what will she do in the future?
She shook her head vigorously to get rid of some strange thoughts from her mind, and then leaned towards the bed, closer to the comfortable breath.
…
Early in the morning, Tang Ning walked into the room. Su Ru, who was helping him tidy up his clothes, glanced at him, walked over and asked with concern: "Brother Ning, what's wrong with your forehead?"
Tangning covered a small bruise on her forehead, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I accidentally fell off the bed last night. It's okay."
In fact, it was Su Mei who fell out of bed last night. He actually forgot that she was not a good sleeper. If he had known earlier, he would have rolled up a mat and slept at the door, and he would not have been hit like this by her.
In Tianranju, Xiao Tao walked over quickly, looked at Su Mei, and said hurriedly: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you injured? I'll get you medicine..."
Su Mei rubbed her forehead, thinking of the scene this morning, a blush appeared on her face.
