The young man rubbed his neck, walked out of the room, looked at Wu Liehou, and asked: "Dad, why am I at home? Wasn't I still in Tianranju just now?"
Wu Liehou glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Don't hang out with those gangsters all day long. In addition to drinking, you go to brothels. Our Han family is different from other families. Han..."
"The future of the Han family depends on me, right..." The young man glanced at him, curled his lips and said, "I know, I know, I'm going to bed..."
"Wait a minute." Wu Liehou stopped him and said, "I have something to tell you."
The young man looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Liehou said: "When the new year comes, I will let you go to Zuo Xiaowei to practice. You don't want to hang around all day. While I am here in the past few years, you can work as an official in the army."
, I won’t starve to death in the future…”
"What?" When the young man heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately said: "I won't go. I heard that people can be tortured to death there. If you want to go there, I don't want to go!"
Wu Liehou's face darkened and he said: "I have made up my mind, you have to go even if you want to go, and you have to go if you don't want to go!"
The young man looked at him and said loudly: "I won't go, even if I die!"
Wu Liehou stood up, held his cane, raised it high, and said: "Then I will beat you to death first!"
The young man raised his head, closed his eyes, and said, "Just beat me to death, so that I can go see my mother. I have long wanted to reunite with my mother!"
Wu Liehou's face turned pale, and the crutch he was holding finally fell down gently.
He glanced at the young man, sighed, limped out of the room, and whispered: "That's all, if you don't want to go, forget it. Dad won't make things difficult for you..."
A smile appeared on the young man's face. This was his tried and tested trick every time he got into trouble. He glanced at his mouth and murmured: "What's the benefit of being a Forbidden Army? Whoever wants to be a member will be killed."
I won’t take it for granted!”
…
She didn't go to Xiaoqi Camp until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Tang Ning thought she could enjoy the blessings of everyone before then, but she didn't expect to spend most of the time alone in the empty boudoir.
He was sitting in the study and saw Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi going out from a distance. He hurried out and asked, "Where are you going?"
Zhong Yi turned around and said: "I'm going to the temple with Yaoyao to offer incense. She said she was going to go a few days ago..."
Xiaoxiao was taken to some place by the old beggar for some training. Xiaoruxiaoyi also went out to socialize almost every day. It was either Princess Anyang's garden party or some other party. Tangning had been alone for several days.
After hearing this, he said: "I'll go with you."
Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Before Tang Ning walked out of the door, Qing'er ran over and said, "Uncle, someone is looking for you outside, saying it's Marquis Wu Lie..."
Tangning sighed, looked at Zhong Yi and Su Ru, and said, "You should go ahead."
She didn't know what happened to Wu Liehou, so his plans were disrupted. Tang Ning walked to the living room and saw Wu Liehou sitting on a chair. She walked forward and asked with a smile: "Master Hou is here this time, but...
For what happened yesterday?”
Wu Liehou nodded sheepishly.
Tang Ning sat opposite him and said, "After the Lantern Festival, the Marquis can choose a day to send him here..."
"No, no, no, General Tang misunderstood." Wu Liehou stood up and said apologetically: "To be honest, after Chong'er woke up yesterday, I mentioned this matter to him. He was extremely resistant to it, and I didn't either.
No way, I'm really sorry..."
"It doesn't matter." Although Tang Ning felt that Marquis Wu Lie was too doting on his son, she still waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If it's just this matter, Lord Marquis can just send someone to say it. There is no need to come in person...
…”
Wu Liehou looked at him and said: "To be honest, General Tang, I have one more thing to ask for when I come here this time."
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Master Hou, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"Actually, I came here this time because of Chong'er's affairs." Wu Liehou sighed softly and said: "Chong'er suffered a lot when he was young. He is really afraid of hardship and poverty. These days
His life has changed over the years, but he has developed a dandy temperament. When I wait a hundred years, he will be helpless and doesn't know how to survive, so I have something to ask General Tang."
Han Chong's behavior is a typical behavior of the nouveau riche. After living hard for too long, he suddenly becomes rich overnight and his status has been greatly improved. He will lose control of himself and be immersed in pleasure and unable to extricate himself. This kind of
The behavior is not surprising.
It's just that he is not familiar with Wu Liehou. Doesn't he want him to raise a son for him?
Wu Liehou looked at him and said: "General Tang and I are not close friends, so I know this may be a bit abrupt..."
Tangning nodded: "It's a bit abrupt..."
Wu Liehou took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and said: "I know that the largest 'Tang people' trading house in Beijing is the property of General Tang. I want to put some money in the trading house, just like the Xiao family and the Liu family.
Just like the Huang family, the profits that the Han family deserves will be placed with General Tang first, so that if anything happens to me in the future, Chong'er will not starve to death."
Only then did Tang Ning understand that Wu Liehou wanted to invest in shares like Liu Jun and Huang Yulong. At first, he just wanted to find some allies. Now the people of Tang Dynasty are strong enough and there is no need to do this. Business worth tens of thousands of taels.
There is no need to go through his and Tang Yaoyao's hands.
He looked at Wu Liehou and asked with a smile: "Does the Marquis believe me so much?"
Wu Liehou nodded and said, "If I didn't believe General Tang, I wouldn't have come today."
Tang Ning handed over the banknotes and nodded: "Okay."
Although some of the reasons why he agreed to Wu Liehou were because of his relationship with Xiao Jue, more importantly, it was because he couldn't bear to refuse a father's request. It was enough for Wu Liehou to do this for his dandy son.
It's moving.
Wu Liehou showed joy on his face and stood up and said: "Thank you, General Tang. If you have any use for me in the future, just ask. As long as Han can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
"The Marquis is too polite." Tang Ning looked at him and said, "However, I still have to say that the Marquis is too indulgent towards Young Master Ling. If this continues, it will be harmful to him rather than beneficial."
"I know." Wu Liehou nodded and said: "I owed them a lot to their mother and son in the past. Now I don't ask him to revitalize the Han family, I just ask him to live a life without illness and disaster, and I am satisfied..."
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. As long as he doesn't squander it too much, the money will be enough for him to live and feed well."
Wu Liehou bowed to Tang Ning and said, "Thank you, General Tang."
Tangning bowed in return and said, "You're welcome."
Wu Liehou stood up and said with a smile: "Han will not disturb General Tang anymore, take your leave."
"Walk slowly."
Tangning escorted him out of the house and looked at his back as he limped away. She sighed and shook her head slightly.
Even though he knew that Wu Liehou's method was wrong, as an outsider, he had no position to persuade him.
There was still no one at home during the day. The hostess left with her maid. Tang Ning had nothing to do. She practiced Kung Fu for a while, ate some pastries to cushion her stomach, and then went back to the study to take a nap.
I don't know how long I slept for, and when I woke up in a daze, I didn't know what time it was.
Tang Ning washed his face with cold water and thought to himself that it was ridiculous. When he was taking a nap just now, he actually dreamed of getting married to Tang Yaojing. It was all Xiuer and Xiao Jue's fault. It was a marriage lottery and a fortune teller. All these messy things...
It affected his subconscious.
There was a burst of clear laughter from the door, and you could tell by the sound that they were back.
"Miss Tang is so powerful. Those two prostitutes even tried to tease Madam, but she knocked them down after a few blows."
"Yes, she moves so fast that we don't have a chance to take action..."
"Who are those two disciples? One seems to be the son of a certain marquis, and the other seems to be named Feng..."
…
Shishi and Jiu'er were walking ahead and chatting. When they saw Tang Ning in the yard, they hurriedly walked forward. One helped Tang Ning wipe her face, and the other poured out the water from the washbasin.
Tangning took the towel from Shishi's hand, wiped her face, and asked, "What did you just say?"
Shishi said: "Just now on our way to offer incense, we met two deceitful disciples, and Miss Tang gave them a severe lesson..."
As the group of them walked on the road, the rate of turning heads was indeed very high. If Tang Ning was a protégé, she might have stepped forward to tease her, but with Tang Yaoyao here, Shishi, Jiu'er, and the others were also very generous now, so they didn't need to.
worry about what.
After he wiped his face, Tang Yaoyao walked up to him, hesitated for a moment, looked up at him, and asked, "Do you believe in signs?"
Speaking of signs, Tangning couldn't help but think of the dream she had at noon. She looked at her and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Tang Yaoyao's eyes wandered, she wrung her hands together and said, "Just asking."
"I don't believe it." Tang Ning shook her head. If the dream about the lottery could be regarded as a sign, wouldn't he be getting married to Fairy Tang?
"I don't believe it either!" Tang Yaoyao nodded vigorously, broke the new sign in her hand that read "Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the River Continent, a fair lady, a gentleman likes to be brave", and threw it in the temple today.
On the ground.
Tangning glanced at her and asked, "Did you fight with someone again today?"
Tang Yaoyao clapped his hands and said, "They are just two disciples. I have to teach them a few lessons."
Tang Ning was about to ask for details when she saw her father-in-law hurriedly walking in from the door. He seemed to be in a hurry and looked anxious.
He walked to Tang Yaoyao, looked at her, and asked: "Yaoyao, did you fight with someone today? Do you still remember that person's name?"
"How does Uncle Zhong know?" Tang Yaoyao glanced at him in surprise, thought for a moment, and said, "One is called Ling Feng, and the other seems to be called Chong..."
Zhong Mingli immediately said: "Han Chong?"
"Yes, it seems to be called Han Chong." Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Han Chong..." Zhong Mingli looked at her with a pale face and said, "He is dead."
