Before Xiu'er finished speaking, Tang Yaoyao flicked her on the head.
Xiu'er covered her head, looked at Tang Yaoyao aggrievedly, and said, "That's what the signature says..."
Tang Yaoyao waved her hand and said: "You go and play with Qing'er, don't bother me, leave me alone for a while..."
Xiuer put down the lottery tube in her hand, sat opposite her, and asked: "Miss, what's wrong? He made you angry again..."
Tang Yaoyao said: "No, I lost the bet with him."
"How could he, a smart man like him, bet with the lady if he was not sure of winning? This is not the first time..." Xiu'er looked at her and said helplessly: "The lady knew that she would lose, why would she?
bet?"
"Who said I knew I was going to lose?" Tang Yaoyao glanced at her, stood up, and said, "I went back to my room, and no matter who came to see me, they said I wasn't here."
"Oh." Xiu'er nodded, sat alone at the stone table, looked up at the falling snowflakes, and sighed leisurely.
There was a movement on the wall. Tangning patted the snowflakes on her body, looked at Xiu'er and asked, "Is your lady here?"
Xiu'er turned to look at him and said: "In the room, the lady is angry, you can calm her down yourself."
Even if she lost a bet, she wouldn't be angry. Tang Ning walked towards Tang Yaoyao's room. Halfway there, she was suddenly stopped by Xiu'er.
Tangning looked at her: "Is there anything else?"
Xiu'er handed over the lottery tube placed on the stone table and said, "Master Tang, please draw a lottery."
"What kind of lottery?" Tangning asked, took one, looked at the inscription on it, and read: "Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the River Continent, a graceful lady, a gentleman is a good man..., this is
"Shang Shang Da Ji", aren't all the "Shang Shang" signs in your bucket?"
This is the content of the Yue Lao Ling Lotus. If Tang Ning remembers correctly, this should be the first lot. One of the few that has a lucky draw. According to the meaning of the lotus, there should be a marriage within a short period of time.
A major breakthrough.
Out of more than a hundred lots, he drew the first lot at once, which made people wonder if this was a trick used by Xiu'er to deceive people. In fact, the lot was filled with top lots.
"How is that possible?" Xiu'er glanced at him and said, "I wrote these signatures one by one!"
Tangning looked at a few more and found that the signatures were different. It seemed that he was indeed lucky. He handed the lottery tube to her again and said, "Does the signature mean that I will have a good marriage in the near future?"
Xiu'er looked at him and said: "According to what the signature says, Mr. Tang is going to get married soon..."
"It's okay, don't imitate other people's interpretation of signatures..." Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Who are you marrying to? With your lady?"
Seeing Tang Ning turn around and walk into the room, Xiu'er held the lottery tube and drew one herself without believing in evil. When she saw the sentence "Guan Guan Ju Jiu", she stood up in shock and said in surprise: "What the hell..."
…”
When Tang Ning walked into Tang Yaoyao's room, she was sitting at the table drawing a pig's head.
Seeing Tangning come in, she crumpled the piece of paper into a ball and asked, "What are you doing here? Do you have anything to do?"
"Isn't it just that I lost a round..." Tangning walked up to her and said, "Don't be angry. How about you win this round?"
Tang Yaoyao slapped the table and said, "I'm not angry!"
The inkstone on the table jumped up due to her shock. Tangning glanced at her and asked, "You still say you're not angry?"
"I'm angry at myself!" Tang Yaoyao lay on the table and said, "Go back and let me be alone."
Tang Ning turned around and walked towards the door, saying, "Okay, then I'll let Xiu'er help you eat your portion of the assorted casserole. It's a pity that the fresh vegetables Xiao Jue brought yesterday are so cold in the winter.
It’s not easy to eat, and the meat Lao Zheng bought today is so fresh..."
Before he reached the door, he heard an inaudible sound of swallowing. Assorted casserole was Tang Yaoyao's favorite thing to eat. After winter, because vegetables were scarce, Tang Ning rarely made it anymore.
For Tang Yaoyao, who had not eaten assorted casserole for two months, this was an irresistible temptation.
Tang Yaoyao stood up and said, "I suddenly thought of something I need to discuss with Xiao Yi. Is she at home..."
"she is not here."
She obviously wants to eat, but she still pretends to be so arrogant. Tang Ning wants to see how long she will continue to be arrogant.
"I want to eat even if she's not here!" Tang Yaoyao glared at him fiercely and strode out.
When Tang Ning walked out of Tang Yaoyao's room with her hands behind her back, Xiu'er was drawing lots with several Tang family servants.
A maid took one and said: "I won the lottery..."
Another maid said in surprise: "Mine is signed!"
A servant shook his head and said: "I drew the lottery. No wonder Cuihua ignored me these days. This lottery is really accurate..."
The little girl just likes to pin her marriage on these illusory things. Tang Ning shook her head and returned to her yard. She saw Tang Yaoyao and Zhong Yi standing together, looking at him with extremely unkind eyes.
On the other side, Xiu'er held a lottery in her hand and murmured: "How could there be such a coincidence? The young lady is getting married, I am getting married too, and Mr. Tang is getting married. Is this some kind of sign? Could it be...
…”
She didn't know what she thought of, she lowered her head shyly, and two red clouds gradually rose up on her face.
A first snowfall made the weather in the capital a bit colder. Before it got dark, there were already few pedestrians on the streets.
In the Tang Mansion, although there was snow falling in the courtyard, the rooms were so heated by the furnace that they couldn't feel the slightest chill.
At the table in the hall, Tang Qi stood up, raised his glass and said, "Mr. Xu, I would like to give you a toast. If Mr. Xu hadn't reminded you this time, we might have incurred some unnecessary losses."
This time, because of Liu's birthday banquet, King Kang pursued them fiercely and refused to let them go. The Tang family had already prepared many measures to fight King Kang to the death.
It was precisely because they listened to Mr. Xu that they did not rush to do anything.
The result was just as Mr. Xu expected. King Kang was banned for three months. Several dignitaries under King Kang were expelled from their titles, their property was confiscated, and they were demoted to common people for inciting public opinion. If we take it seriously, King Kang’s role in this case
The losses suffered were even greater than theirs.
Mr. Xu cupped his hands and said: "Eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor is a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Since Xu has been loyal to King Duan, he will do everything for the sake of King Duan."
Tang Qi filled up the wine again, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "With this glass, I apologize for being disrespectful to Mr. Xu."
Mr. Xu also drank a drink and said, "Master Tang, you are so polite."
Tang Qi looked at him and said: "Mr. Xu's wisdom and strategy are unparalleled. I will rely on him more in the future."
Mr. Xu said: "Xu is now advancing and retreating together with His Highness Prince Duan, sharing honor and disgrace. In the future, he will definitely tell everything he knows and will tell you everything."
The crisis between Prince Duan and the Tang family was resolved invisibly, with Mr. Xu taking the greatest credit. From time to time, people were toasting during the dinner. Halfway through the dinner, Mr. Xu's face turned red. Tang Qi looked at him and waved to a maid.
Said: "Help Mr. go back and rest."
The young man next to Mr. Xu stood up quickly and said, "Let me help Master go back."
He helped Mr. Xu out of the room, walked through the corridor on one side, and passed through two moon doors before arriving at a courtyard.
He closed the courtyard door, walked to Mr. Xu, and asked, "Sir, do you want me to go in and get you a cloak?"
The drunkenness on Mr. Xu's face had disappeared completely, and he asked: "What does this bit of chill in the capital mean? In the past ten years, I have experienced bitter cold that is several times as cold as this, but I have only been in the capital for a few years."
Years ago, have you become accustomed to this kind of comfort?"
The young man shook his head and said: "Those places with extreme cold, scorching heat, and heavy winds and sand are, in my opinion, more comfortable and comfortable than those in the capital. Although the capital is good and has abundant supplies, I don't know when I will be able to eat the same delicious food as here."
Melons and grapes…”
Mr. Xu patted the snowflakes on his shoulder and said, "It's almost here, it's almost here..."
