Chapter two hundred and eighty third entry into the household department
Tang Ning could understand King Kang's intention of planting an undercover agent here, but he didn't like being watched when he did anything in his home. If he gave a gift, he should give it well, and no evil thoughts could tempt him.
When the group of people walked towards the main building, he saw the two maids, Carrot and Cabbage, raising their heads. They wanted to speak several times, but they never opened their mouths and asked, "Do you two have anything to say?"
A woman mustered up her courage and said: "Sir, can we not call radish and cabbage..."
In fact, Tang Ning is also thinking about it. Even if he doesn't use poems, wine, flowers and tea, he should also be neat about plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. Music, chess, calligraphy, painting, radish and cabbage... This style of painting seems wrong. If others ask, it will make him look uneducated.
.
He thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want to be called?"
The two maids showed joy on their faces and spoke immediately.
"My slave's name used to be Qingqing."
"My former name was Ning Ning."
"..."
Tangning thought for a while, looked at them and asked, "Are you really not thinking about radish and cabbage anymore?"
Looking at the two pairs of innocent eyes blinking, Tang Ning thought about it carefully and waved her hand, "Forget it, I'll save the carrots, cabbage, broccoli, and flowers for later..."
"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine and flower tea." Tang Ning looked at them and said, "Poetry and wine are the two of you."
Playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, wine and flower tea, these are the eight elegances of life. If you don’t get them together, you will always feel uncomfortable. Although there are two traitors in Hua Cha among the eight people, if they are given to Su Mei to train and train them, they can still change their ways in the future.
Turning from darkness to light.
There were eight people when he left, but only six when he came back. They might misunderstand what he did to the two maids, and they would naturally have to explain it to Xiaoyi and the others.
After dinner, when he returned to the mansion, Zhong Yi looked at a few people and said, "My husband should keep those two people as well. We just need to be careful about them on weekdays. In this way, King Kang will have nothing to say."
."
Tangning didn't care what King Kang had to say. He didn't want outsiders to know that he slept in Xiaoru or Xiaoyi's room at night, and he didn't have the habit of keeping undercover agents in his home.
He felt relieved when he handed people over to Su Mei. The little fox had many tricks, and he could make them obedient in just two days.
"Xiao Qin, Xiao Qi, Shu'er, the three of you will stay with the First Madam from now on." Tang Ning looked at them and said, "Hua'er, Shishi, Jiu'er, the three of you, will stay with the Second Madam from now on."
"Yes." All the girls nodded.
As soon as he returned to the room, Xiao Ru walked up to him and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, I'm not used to having people waiting on me..."
Tang Ning held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and said: "Now is different from before. There is no shortage of maids at home. You can just let them accompany you to talk and relieve boredom. You can also do the things at hand.
I will assign them to them to do. In addition, I have some other arrangements for them."
Su Ru thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to Brother Xiao Ning."
Although Xiaoyi is a big lady, she actually doesn't like to take care of things. In fact, Xiaoru is the housekeeper. She has to deal with more things on weekdays, and she should have a few assistants around her.
Tangning chatted with her in the room, then walked to the yard and saw the old beggar tinkering with something in the corner.
Tangning walked over and asked curiously, "Senior, what are you doing?"
The old beggar took out a jar and said: "Don't you want to learn the art of voodoo? If you want to learn the art of voodoo, you must first learn how to raise voodoo. I will give you some practice on these gadgets first."
Tang Ning looked inside the jar and saw that the jar was densely packed with poisonous insects, scorpions, centipedes, spiders...
Just looking at it made him feel a little creepy.
He gritted his teeth and could still accept this thing, but if Xiaoru and Xiaoyi knew that he was with these things all day long, he would probably have to sleep alone in the study in the future.
This is much more important than learning voodoo.
Tang Ning thought for a while and asked, "Um, senior, didn't you say that in addition to the poison technique, we also need to learn the poison technique? How about we learn the poison technique first?"
The old beggar nodded and said: "That's true. Masters of poison are all masters of poison. The world is dangerous. Even if you don't harm others, you must guard against being harmed by others. You have reminded me that you must kill others as soon as possible.
Taught these lessons to my precious disciple."
Tang Ning looked at the figures in the pavilion and said, "There is one more thing I need to trouble senior with."
He asked Qinqi, Shuhua and the others to stay with Xiaoru and Xiaoyi, not just to relieve their boredom. If they could all learn some martial arts, and the three of them could learn a set of combined attack techniques, they would be enough to deal with most accidents.
The old beggar looked at him and said dissatisfiedly: "It's troublesome. I'm very busy every day..."
"This month's new wine has arrived, and it tastes more mellow..."
"I'm not afraid to tell you. The last thing I'm afraid of in this life is trouble. If you have anything, just tell me."
…
Prince Kang's Mansion, Prince Kang walked around the palace and asked, "You said there is no news coming back from the Tang Mansion?"
A servant said: "There has been no news from them in the past few days."
King Kang sat down and said, "It's been several days. I don't believe it. They can't find any chance?"
The servant said: "Your Highness, could it be that they have been discovered?"
Seeing King Kang's frown, a middle-aged man beside him stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, I felt that this matter was inappropriate at the beginning. It is impossible for Mr. Tang to turn to King Duan. He has no other choice but you."
, you should give him full trust, trust others when you hire them, and ignore others when you doubt them. If you doubt him, he will definitely have a grudge in his heart..."
King Kang thought for a while and said: "Although he will not fall to Zhao Ming, it may not..."
"Is Your Highness worried that he will turn to King Huai?" The middle-aged man looked at him and asked, "Or is Your Highness worried about King Run?"
"I am not doubting him, I am just in case..." King Kang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, as long as he is loyal to me, I will not treat him badly."
He looked outside the hall and said: "Tang Jing is also in the Household Department. I hope he can cause something else when he joins the Household Department this time. If he continues to torment the Tang family, the Tang Huai brothers would be too much of an eyesore.
If it weren't for the Tang family, how could Zhao Ming fight with me?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said: "Although the Tang family has a deep foundation in the Six Divisions, Your Highness, please don't forget that Master Tang's trip to the Six Divisions this time is authorized by His Majesty. How dare others cause trouble?"
…
After taking half a month off, Tang Ning had forgotten what it was like to work.
His life for the past half month can be said to be extremely comfortable.
The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting people are really versatile. They are good at singing and dancing. If you want to listen to the music, they can play the piano and flute. If you want to watch the performance, they can dance all kinds of dances. Tang Ning never knew before that those powerful families in Beijing
The daily life is actually like this.
An overly comfortable life can easily make people lose their fighting spirit. He planned to watch the dance where the belly is exposed and the butt is twisted next time. After all, today is the day to report to the Ministry of Revenue. If it is postponed, the emperor may have objections.
Household Department.
The officials of the Hubu Yamen have been paying attention to one thing since a few days ago.
The emperor specially appointed the number one scholar in the new subject, Hanlin compiled Tang Ning to familiarize himself with the six departments, and the first person to come was their household department.
They paid close attention to Tang Xiu Zhuan not only because of his unparalleled imperial examination path, but also because of his record.
Tang Jing, the principal, was once beaten unconscious by him, and Fang Zhe, the assistant minister, was also beaten by him. I wonder if there will be any sparks between him and them after he comes to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
As for officials above the rank of Doctor of the Household Department, everyone is in danger. After all, Master Tang has rich experience in beating up superior officials, and they do not want to follow in the footsteps of Chief Tang and Shilang Fang.
Hubu, the innermost government office.
An official came in and said, "Sir, Tang Xiuzhan has arrived. Now there are no vacancies in various ministries. How should we arrange for him?"
Qian Shuo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, stroked his short beard on his chin and said with a smile: "Since your Majesty's original intention is to train him, let him go to Duzhaofang."
