Tangning is not an unprincipled person and will not change her bottom line casually.
The main reason is that Xiao Jue said that the Prince of Dian had a wide circle of friends and could be called the male version of Princess Anyang in the capital. He was another social butterfly in the capital and was also the largest black manor in the capital. He had to wait and see to see the upper class circles in the capital.
What do people bet on?
He told Qing'er to dig out the invitation, change his clothes, and plan to go to the meeting in the evening.
When he was studying the invitation carefully, Xiao Jue came over and asked, "Are you sure Zuo Xiaowei can win the first place?"
Tang Ning said, "Why, are you worried about losing money?"
"That's not true." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "Lu Ding said that I can only marry his daughter when I become a general. If Zuo Xiaowei can win the first place this time, His Majesty will have to grant me the title."
If you become a general, you can be promoted to a general next year. If I have a chance, I will lead my troops to the grassland and kill some barbarians, and I will be promoted to a general when I come back..."
The emperor's brother-in-law is very powerful. Promotion is the same as playing. Xiao Jue, as a junior captain, is now starting to plan the steps to become a general. A captain in the Sixteenth Guards who has no background may not be able to sit in that position in his life.
"Don't worry." He looked at Xiao Jue and said, "I still want to be a lieutenant general for fun."
"That's good." Xiao Jue looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go."
Tangning walked out of the door and said casually: "What if you still can't become a Cavalry General in two years?"
"If you still can't be..., let's cook the rice first." Xiao Jue said indifferently: "When the time comes, can Lu Ding be able to stop him?"
Tang Ning looked at him in surprise. It seemed that Xiao Jue had not only physically transformed into a man, but had also begun to learn to solve things in a man's way.
The Prince's Mansion of the Prince of Dian is in the east of the city, which is where the princes and nobles of the capital gather.
When Tang Ning and Xiao Jue got there, many people had already arrived. They met Liu Jun and Mu Yu on the road. When they walked to the door of the mansion, they met another person. Tang Ning remembered that he seemed to be Colonel Zuo Yinqi.
, his name is Chen Chuan.
Zuo Yinqiwei lost to Zuo Xiaowei and almost came back to win. Chen Chuan was obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Jue and ignored him. He just raised his hand to Tangning and said, "Master Tang."
"Captain Chen." Tang Ning also returned the greeting with her hands raised, but she looked at the person behind him and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Chen Chuan looked behind him, then looked at Tang Ning again, and asked in surprise: "Master Tang, do you know Chen Zhou?"
Tang Ning naturally knew Chen Zhou and had a very good impression of him. It was difficult to find a subordinate with both skills and eyes like him. He planned to wait until he was promoted to Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General to recruit him from Lu Teng.
Lu Teng would not refuse to give him this little face.
Chen Chuan didn't wait for Tang Ning to answer, and suddenly said: "I almost forgot, Mr. Tang is the wedding messenger..."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Chen Zhou and said, "He is a collateral descendant of my Chen family. I brought him here to see the world."
Chen Zhou stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Tang."
Tang Ning looked at the two of them. The names of the Chen family were really strange. One was a shipwreck, the other was a shipwreck. No wonder he felt familiar when he first saw Captain Chen Chuan.
After Chen Chuan and Chen Zhou went in first, Xiao Jue and Tang Ning also walked into the Prince's Mansion. Xiao Jue looked around and suddenly pointed in a certain direction and said: "Isn't that Tang Zhao? It is said that he has been restricted from pocket money.
It has become a joke in the capital to go to a brothel on credit. I think he will definitely have to gamble tonight, otherwise, he will not even have the money to visit the brothel..."
In fact, Xiao Jue himself is a joke in the capital, but compared with Tang Zhao, he is still far behind. Many people in the capital and even the people of Chen State don't know who Tang Huai Tang Qi is, but they all know that Tang Zhao was born in the Tang family.
He is a prototype of a villain in "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", a dandy in the capital, a scum, a scum...
Thousands of years later, not to mention the Tang family, even the Chen state was gone, but Tang Zhao could still be famous.
The banquet at the Prince's Mansion was held in the open-air garden. Although it was night, there were many lanterns hanging around the garden, which was extremely bright. Although there was still some impact on the visibility at night, it also created a private atmosphere.
"Brother Xiao." A figure came from the front and said hello to Xiao Jue. Then he looked at Tang Ning and asked in surprise: "Is this Mr. Tang?"
When Tang Ning saw Princess Anyang's banquet for the first time, she had seen the Crown Prince of Dian. She raised her hand and said, "Your Highness."
"A rare guest, a rare guest indeed." The Crown Prince of Dian looked at him and said, "I have invited you dozens if not dozens of times, and I finally got you this time."
Tang Ning said sheepishly, "I'm busy with official duties on weekdays. Your Highness, please forgive me."
The Crown Prince of Dian said: "Master Tang is your Majesty's most valued minister. It is appropriate to be busy. How can I forgive you..."
He exchanged pleasantries with Tang Ning and Xiao Jue and said with a smile, "I still have a few guests to entertain. There will be fine wine and cakes in front of you. You two can help yourself..."
The banquet in the Prince's Mansion is quite casual. In addition to the purpose of making friends, the most important thing about this banquet is to set up a gambling game, gambling and whoring. For these young princes in the capital, it is commonplace.
The two found a place to sit down. Not long after, the Crown Prince of Dian came from the front, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "Tonight, I specially invited Miss Su to play a song for everyone. Miss Su's folk art
Being the best among all the capital, everyone's ears are lucky..."
"Miss Su?"
"I can actually hear Miss Su playing. This night is really worth it."
"I was lucky enough to hear Miss Su's piano music once, and I still recall it..."
…
As soon as the Prince of Dian finished speaking, the venue was noisy for a while, and then immediately became silent.
A graceful figure walked from the front, her face covered with gauze, and her face was even more difficult to see under the dim light. Even so, it did not affect the charm she exuded that could drive men crazy.
Su Mei's piano music is different from her soul-killing whistle. It is clearer and more melodious. It is really a pleasure to listen to it. But the atmosphere tonight is wrong. There are too many people and there is no artistic conception. Until tomorrow, Tang Ning must listen to it alone.
She plays a song.
After the song ended, the venue was quiet for a long time, and then there was a burst of applause.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Su." The Crown Prince of Dian stepped forward, stretched out his hand to press down, and said something to Su Mei. Then he turned to look at the crowd and said, "I have invited some beauties from the Western Regions tonight. Everyone.
You might as well take a good look at the differences between this woman from the Western Region and me, a Han woman, and please wait a moment and move into the palace..."
From what the Prince of Dian said, there seemed to be a show brought by several beauties from the Western Regions to entertain the guests. Tang Ning took a sip of tea and inadvertently glanced at a figure hidden behind the shadow of a tree.
He glanced away and looked at Xiao Jue, asking: "Which guard will Zuo Xiaowei compete with in the next match?"
Xiao Jue was stunned and said, "You forgot, Zuo Xiaowei's next opponent is You Yinqiwei."
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "I will bet 10,000 taels of silver on Zuo Xiaowei and lose."
"What?" Xiao Jue was startled, looked at him, and asked, "Are you crazy?"
Tangning gave him a look and said, "Losing is much easier than winning. We will share the money we make equally..."
Xiao Jue looked at him, glanced to the side, then quickly moved back, nodded and said: "It's a deal..."
The figure behind the tree shadow was startled, then slowly backed away, came to a certain location, looked at a person and asked: "Did you just bet on who would win between Zuo Xiaowei and You Yinqiwei?"
Ling Feng looked at him and said: "Zuo Xiaowei, my father said that Zuo Xiaowei has been poor in the past few competitions. You Yinqiwei is not their opponent at all. Those who bet on Zuo Xiaowei's loss are all fools.
…”
Tang Zhao's expression changed, he looked at him and said: "Listen to me, buy Yinqiwei to win the next game!"
"Are you crazy?" Ling Feng looked at him and said, "Aren't you very short of money? You said Zuo Xiaowei is stronger, but you still dare to buy Yinqi Wei?"
"There is a shady story behind this competition..." Tang Zhao looked somewhere behind him, turned his head, and said, "You are a brother, just believe me!"
