Xiao Jue finally left. Emperor Chen agreed to his transfer request, and Mr. Xiao actually had no objection to it.
On the day when he went to war with the new soldiers, Tang Ning went out of the city to see him off.
Lu Ya stood beside him reluctantly. Lu Ding, the Minister of War, looked at Xiao Jue as if he wanted to cut him into pieces.
Two days ago, Xiao Jue had made an engagement with Lu Ya. They boarded the boat first and then bought the tickets. Although Lu Ding was helpless, his daughter had ruined the innocence of others, so he had to accept the offer.
This marriage.
Of course, Lu Ya's request to go with Xiao Jue was flatly rejected by Lu Ding, so there was this touching and tearful scene of the couple parting ways.
Xiao Jue looked at Lu Ya, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
After that, he walked to Tang Ning and said, "After I leave, help me take care of the Xiao family."
Although the Xiao family was in decline, it was not a soft persimmon that could be manipulated. Tang Ning nodded, took something out of her arms and threw it to him.
Xiao Jue looked at a strange pendant in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
Tangning waved her hand and said, "Just think of it as a peace charm."
What Xiao Jue was holding was actually a wolf tooth pendant, which was a pledge made by Wanyan Yan who owed him so much money. Tang Ning thought that after Wanyan Yan left, he would never need this thing again, and she also hoped that Xiao Jue would never use this pendant again.
Jue won't use it.
Xiao Jue put the pendant around his neck and said, "Thank you..."
"It's not for you." Tangning glanced at him and said, "You must return it to me when you come back."
Xiao Jue laughed, looked at the people seeing him off, and said loudly: "I will definitely come back!"
Lu Ding had a dark face, slapped him on the head, and said angrily: "Who are you following me? Who are you following me..."
…
Xiao Jue left to pursue his dream on the grassland, and Tang Ning no longer had any friends with whom she could talk in the capital.
Although he was usually a bit verbose and stupid, after he actually left, Tang Ning felt that something was missing in her life.
Having three or two friends with similar interests is naturally much more interesting than being alone.
In fact, besides Xiao Jue, he originally had other friends.
Tang Yaoyao used to be his friend.
Li Tianlan used to be his friend.
Zhao Man used to be his friend.
Su Mei used to be his friend.
…
But that was all before.
Tangning sighed. Facts have proved that people of the opposite sex cannot be friends. He just wants a simple friend. Is it so difficult?
For his own health and for the sake of family harmony, he will never be friends with a woman again.
Although Xiao Jue left, Lu Ya often came to the Tang family.
She, Xiao Ru Xiaoyi and the others had been getting along with each other for a long time, which made Tang Ning worried about whether they would be influenced by Lu Ya. After observing for a while, she found that the girls showed no signs of changing towards her, so she felt relieved.
In addition to Lu Ya, Princess Anyang was also very familiar with them. Tangning didn't have any bad feelings towards this social butterfly with the most complicated connections in the capital.
Of course, the main reason is that when Zhao Man married away from Chu, her protective attitude towards Zhao Man made Tang Ning's impression of her much more favorable.
Tang Ning didn't want Xiaoyi and the others to learn from Lu Ya, and she also didn't want them to learn from Princess Anyang.
Because she has a cheerful personality and makes many friends, regardless of gender. It is okay to have such a friend, but it is not a face-saving thing to have such a wife.
Princess Anyang came here with Lu Ya today. Before leaving, she handed over an invitation and said: "Tomorrow night, Anyang will hold a banquet at Tianranju to entertain talented people from the capital. If Mr. Tang has nothing to do, you might as well come over as a favor. They
I all want to meet you, the top three scholar."
Tangning shook her head and said without thinking, "I'm not free tomorrow night."
The state examination in the Gyeonggi region is about to begin. As usual, Princess Anyang will invite these prestigious talents to have a gathering to expand their network. Tang Ning received a similar invitation back then.
However, he has no interest in this. Instead of practicing kung fu with Su Mei during this wonderful time in the evening, he went to attend some boring banquet... He was not so free.
Princess Anyang never thought that he would refuse, and she didn't even make up a reason, but she still smiled and said: "Master Tang, think about it, the students in the capital all respect you, Master Tang just considers it as a support for his friends..."
Tangning asked in surprise: "Friend?"
Princess Anyang looked at him and asked, "Aren't we friends?"
As a reminder, Tang Ning has already overturned four times in the same place and will not do it a fifth time.
He looked at Princess Anyang and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Princess, Tang never makes friends with the opposite sex."
"You!" Princess Anyang was startled, with a scowl on her pretty face, and said angrily: "Forget it if you don't go!"
After saying that, she threw away her sleeves angrily and left.
Tang Ning felt that he had done the right thing this time. There were many women in the capital who coveted him and he could not give them any chance.
Not long after, Zhong Yi came over and asked doubtfully: "The princess seems to be angry, what did my husband say to her?"
"She asked me to go to the banquet, but she got angry when I didn't go." Tangning shook her head and said, "This woman is too small-minded..."
Zhong Yi didn't believe it: "The princess doesn't seem to be such a stingy person. Is this really the case?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "She also said that we are friends and asked me to give her this face. I said that I am a family man and I don't want to be friends with other women. Is this wrong?"
Zhong Yi looked at him in surprise and asked, "Is this really what my husband said?"
Tangning rolled her eyes and said, "Can I still lie to you?"
…
Without any warning, several ladies at home suddenly became nice to him. When Tang Ning was reading in the study, Zhong Yi squeezed his shoulders, Su Mei beat his legs, and Tang Yaoyao cooked the soup that Su Ru had cooked with her own hands.
Feed it into his mouth...
This made Tang Ning extremely unaccustomed to it, and she was even a little scared. If something went wrong, there must be a monster, and they were not usually so obedient and obedient.
Especially when the four of them are so obedient and obedient together.
As if thinking of something terrible, Tang Ning swallowed the soup, looked at them, and said, "I'm going to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow. I need to make some preparations in advance. I'll read in the study tonight. You guys go to bed early and don't have to wait.
I……"
…
In the princess's palace.
Princess Anyang lost her usual calmness and gentleness. She looked at Tang Shui and said angrily: "He actually doesn't consider me a friend. It's a shame I told him about Xiao Man..."
Tang Shui looked at her and consoled her: "Everyone in the capital is your friend. If you have one more or one less, it doesn't matter."
"No, I can't swallow this breath." Princess Anyang picked up the teacup, drank it all in one gulp, and said with lingering anger: "Since I was a child, I, Anyang, have never suffered such injustice!"
Tang Shui poured her another glass of water and said, "Calm down, calm down, calm down..."
Princess Anyang drank another glass of water to suppress the anger in her heart.
She has countless friends in the capital, and none of them are polite to her. Tangning is talented, has a holy family, and is the number one among the younger generation, but as the princess, doesn't she deserve to be him?
friend?
In the past, he was just one of her many ordinary friends. Now, in her heart, Tang Ning began to draw a clear line between herself and others.
He was the only one among everyone who dared to talk to her like this.
"I remember you!" Princess Anyang said with a sinister look on her face and clenched her silver teeth: "Sooner or later, I will get this tone back!"
