In fact, Tang Ning's plan for the Ministry of War was very detailed. Just proceed step by step and there is nothing to deal with.
But people always need to rest. After three days of hard work, he needed a simple sleep to recharge his batteries.
He sat in the duty room at the Ministry of War until night, looked at the empty duty room, and began to miss the bed in his study.
At this time, he suddenly thought of Xiao Jue.
Good brothers are meant to sleep at critical moments. The tables and chairs in the Ministry of War are too hard, so it is better to go to Xiao Mansion to find Xiao Jue to make do with it at night.
Tang Ning left the Ministry of War and walked to the door of Xiao's mansion, when she saw Xiao Jue and Lu Ya walking out.
Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "Hey, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Tangning looked at them and asked, "What are you..."
Xiao Jue said: "Go out for a walk, do you want to come with us?"
"No." Tangning waved her hand and said, "I was just passing by and you guys were playing..."
He almost forgot that Xiao Jue was no longer single now. The two of them were hanging out on the willow branches, and they made an appointment to go out and walk on the road at dusk to increase their relationship. They might even kiss, hug, and hold each other up. He
Are you standing aside and watching?
A person must be determined. Tang Ning was not as cold-blooded as Xiao Jue. She waved her hand and strode away.
The curfew time was not yet over, but it was still a bit cold at night in the twelfth lunar month, and there were not many people on the street. Tangning stood on the street, not knowing what to call home.
He told them that they were working overtime at the Ministry of War at night and could not return home, let alone go to the county government office, and Hongxiu Pavilion was not safe. After much thinking, they could only think of one place.
…
Natural home.
"She is indeed loyal to the emperor." The old woman named Bai Jin put down a letter and said coldly: "For more than ten years, she still hasn't gotten rid of her bad habit of recognizing her master everywhere!"
Su Mei tilted her head, leaned against the bed rail, covered her mouth and yawned, and said lazily: "She will never use this to hurt you through the friendship you have had for so many years. There is nothing to worry about..."
"She dares!" The old woman said with a stern look on her face: "If her identity is exposed, she will also die. Besides, Chen Huang is as cunning as a fox. He is probably interested in her poisonous poison skills. Do you think that old fox
Will you really trust her?"
The old woman stood up and said, "Have people keep an eye on her. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately."
Su Mei replied absently: "I know."
When the old woman turned around and walked out of the room, she paused for a moment, then raised her feet and left again.
Su Mei took off her coat and asked: "Xiao Tao, is the bath water ready?"
Tangning walked in and said, "I didn't see Xiaotao when I came in just now. I don't know where she went."
"You're here..." Su Mei was only wearing a white shirt, but she didn't care at all. She walked to the table, poured him a cup of tea, and asked: "It's so late, why do you have time to come here?"
Tang Ning took a sip of tea, pinched a piece of pastry from the table, took a bite, and then explained: "I was busy at the Ministry of War for a while, and I passed by here on my way back and stopped by to take a look."
He glanced at a odds table on Su Mei's desk, with a few circled on it with a pen. After picking it up and looking at it, he asked: "You want to bet on this too?"
Su Mei glanced at him and said, "If you can make money, why not make it?"
Tang Ning also realized at this moment that with their intelligence gathering abilities, they must have an accurate judgment on the strength of the Sixteenth Guard, and these bets were basically to give them money.
But there are no absolutes in anything. It was precisely because of these people who believed in their own judgment that he and Tang Yaoyao were able to make money.
Tangning looked at what she had circled, shook her head and said, "In Group A, do you bet that Zuo Yuwei and Yinqi Wei will qualify?"
Su Mei looked at him and asked, "Do you have any better suggestions?"
Tangning suggested: "I'm still more optimistic about the Knight Riders. In this Sixteen Guards Competition, you won't lose money by betting on them."
Su Mei looked at it, seemed to realize something, and asked: "Aren't you afraid that I will stake hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, leaving you with no money to earn?"
If you want to make a lot of money by gambling, you can only bet on the big underdog. Xiaoqi Wei is a big underdog. Everyone else buys Yu Lin Wei, so he buys Xiao Qi Wei. The odds of Xiao Qi Wei are naturally high, which is equivalent to buying Yu Lin Wei to beat those people.
All the money was made by him.
The odds are actually not determined based on the strength of the two parties, but based on the funds bet by the two parties. If a large amount of funds enter the market, the bookmaker will definitely adjust the odds. If Su Mei bets hundreds of thousands of taels on Xiaoqiwei
The odds of the Knight Rider will definitely go down, and Tang Ning will also make a lot less money.
He looked at Su Mei and said, "We are a family. Of course we have to make money together, but..."
"But what?"
Tang Ning warned her, "But you can't tell Tang Yaoyao about this..."
The Sixteenth Guard Competition was planned by him and Tang Yaoyao together. Strictly speaking, his current behavior is leaking business secrets. If Tang Yaoyao knew that he leaked it to Su Mei, even Bi Dong would beg her to
No forgiveness from her.
Su Mei looked at him and asked, "Are you afraid of her?"
Tangning explained: "The main reason is that I can't beat..."
Xiaotao ran in from outside, followed by several maids, holding buckets of hot water in her arms, and said: "Miss, the hot water is ready..."
Tangning didn't eat anything when she came out at night, but took the cakes on her table to satisfy her hunger.
Su Mei took off her shoes and socks, stood barefoot on the floor, looked at him and said, "I'm going to take a shower."
Tangning pinched a piece of pastry, stuffed it into her mouth, and said vaguely, "Go ahead."
Su Mei looked at the bathtub in the room, looked at him again, and asked, "Do you want to come together?"
Tangning was stunned and almost choked on the cake. She finally swallowed it. She looked at her and said in shock: "I'm afraid this is not good..."
Su Mei said angrily: "I know it's bad but I still don't go out!"
Only then did Tang Ning react. She stood up quickly and strode out the door. Halfway there, she turned back, took away the remaining cakes on the table, and closed the door behind her.
He sat in a lighted place on the porch, and Xiao Tao sat next to him, ready to go in and help Su Mei refill water at any time.
Tangning turned her head to look at her and asked, "Xiao Tao, how old are you this year?"
Xiao Tao thought for a while and said, "Sixteen."
Since he came back last time and gave her a lot of rouge and spices, she has become much more polite to Tang Ning.
Tangning was bored and asked casually, "How did you and your lady meet?"
Xiao Tao looked at the night sky and said casually: "When I was a child, my parents didn't want me. It was the young lady who picked me up."
Tang Ning looked at her. No wonder Su Mei was so doting on her. It turned out that they both had the same fate.
He sighed. He originally thought that she had a mental breakdown due to being too tired and had difficulty sleeping. After getting to know her gradually, he discovered that it was probably because of the events in her childhood that had left a huge shadow on her heart, which has not been eliminated even now.
.
Bathing is always troublesome for women, so Tang Ning waited for her outside for more than half an hour.
Su Mei was wiping her hair in the room. When she saw Tang Ning come in, she was surprised and said, "It's so late and there's a curfew outside. Why don't you leave?"
Tangning looked a little embarrassed. She looked at her and asked, "Can I stay tonight?"
The towel in Su Mei's hand almost fell to the ground, and she asked with a hint of panic in her voice: "Wha...what?"
"Don't get me wrong." Tangning immediately explained, "What I mean is, can you help me find a private room here."
She had slept with him so many times, and he just wanted to stay at her place for one night. It shouldn't be too much, right?
If there was no free room, she and Xiao Tao could just squeeze in.
Su Mei looked at him, the panic on her face disappeared, and without asking any questions, she walked to the bed, stuffed a purple bellyband into the quilt, and said, "Don't bother, you can sleep here tonight.
Bar."
Unexpectedly, she actually gave up her room to him. Tangning was deeply moved. She walked to the bed, took off her shoes and socks, climbed into bed, and said, "Thank you."
He sat on the bed, watched Su Mei walk to the door, closed the door, took a new quilt from the cabinet, got on the bed directly, shrank back, and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Go to sleep." Su Mei covered her mouth and yawned, and said, "Why are you nervous? It's not the first time anyway..."
Tang Ning thought she wanted to squeeze in with Xiao Tao, but she didn't expect that she actually wanted to squeeze in with him. Although as she said, this was not the first time, it was the first time that he took the initiative...
He glanced at Su Mei, got under the quilt, grabbed something casually with his right hand, pulled it out casually, and asked in surprise: "What is it?"
"Who told you to touch it!" Su Mei snatched the bellyband from his hand and said, "You sleep on this quilt outside!"
