We still have to have dreams, what if they come true?
In order not to disappoint Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi, not to let Tang Yaojing look down on her, and to ensure his lifelong happiness, Tang Ning got up early in the morning and after exercising, she held a book and studied the composition of ancient Chinese prose.
Tang Yaoyao sat on the wall and said in surprise: "Isn't the state examination over? What else are you reading?"
Tangning looked up at her and asked, "Learn until you are old, have you ever heard of it?"
"No." Tang Yaoyao shook her head and said.
Of course Tang Yaoyao had never heard of it, because this sentence was said by the ancient Athenian poet Solon.
"My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit. Have you heard this saying?" Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "What's more, the state examination is over, and there are still the general examination and the palace examination..."
He has already understood that fireworks are easy to get cold, people are easy to separate, and nothing can be relied on. Only the book in hand is eternal, and you can gain something from reading each page.
To realize your life dreams and live a happy life, you need to study more.
Tang Yaoyao jumped down from the wall and said, "If you only study every day, what's the point of living?"
Tangning thought about it and felt that what she said made sense.
So he put down the book, looked at Tang Yaoyao, and said, "You are right, study requires a balance of work and rest. Let's go out for a walk."
Tang Yaoyao was unsure and said: "We?"
Tangning nodded.
Tang Yaoyao asked: "Where is Xiaoyi?"
Tang Ning explained: "She went to check out the store with Xiao Ru and was not at home."
Of course, when you go out, you should take Tang Yaoyao with you, not Zhong Yi. If you are really in danger, will he protect Zhong Yi, or will Zhong Yi protect him?
When I go out with Tang Yaoyao, I don't have such worries.
The matter is actually not as serious as Tang Ning imagined. The reform of the imperial examination system is no joke. It cannot be changed just by a few people clamoring for change. There are many involved and many interests involved.
The scholars in Lingzhou would at most hate him in their hearts, but they would not escalate to physical conflicts. What's more, not many people knew him.
He and Tang Yaoyao went out together and bought a bunch of buns when they passed by a bun shop.
Tang Yaoyao said in surprise: "Why did you buy so many steamed buns? Have you finished them?"
"It's useful." The shop assistant wrapped the buns in several huge lotus leaves. Tangning carried the buns with both hands and walked towards an alley not far away.
When a beggar at the alley saw him, he immediately became energetic and stood up and said: "Sir, you haven't been here for several days!"
Tang Ning is busy with the state examination these days and has no time to go out. What's more, he has already told these beggars that as soon as there is news about the little beggar, he will go to the Zhong Mansion to tell him. There has been no movement for so many days, so naturally there will be nothing.
result.
He handed the buns to the beggar and said, "Take them and share them."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" Several beggars immediately ran over and snatched up all the buns wrapped in lotus leaves.
Tang Yaoyao looked at him in surprise. She had heard from Qing'er before that he often helped beggars and chatted with them...
Not long ago, he had doubts about his brain.
In a teahouse on the street, Song Qian put down his tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "This Tang Jieyuan is young, but his heart is rare and kind."
Fang Hong looked in a certain direction and asked, "Brother Song, why don't you come with me and say hello?"
Song Qian shook his head and said, "Don't be in a hurry. There will be plenty of time until the Luming Banquet."
When Tangning walked out of the alley, she felt a little disappointed.
More than three months have passed since he came here.
That little beggar seemed to have completely disappeared from this world.
Tangning didn't know if he had left Lingzhou City or if something unexpected had happened. She didn't know when the bun she owed him would be returned to him.
Tang Yaoyao was a little strange. He rarely saw Tang Ning showing such an expression. Even at the end of the third game of the state examination, what he showed was more calm and nonchalant, not this kind of loss...
Thinking about it carefully, since she met him, there seemed to be nothing that he cared about... She looked at Tang Ning and felt even more convinced that there were many secrets about him that she didn't know about.
The curiosity in her heart deepened.
"Let's go!"
"Be honest!"
Two stern voices suddenly came from the street. Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao turned their heads and saw two policemen escorting a ragged beggar walking on the street.
Tangning looked at them and asked casually, "What's going on?"
"Uncle, Miss Tang." A government official looked at them and bowed, then looked at the beggar and said disgustedly: "I was caught stealing something in the street. This guy will steal it every few days. This time
We must let him stay in jail for a few more days!"
Tang Yaoyao looked at the beggar and frowned: "If you have hands and feet, you can even beg. Why do you want to steal?"
"Young lady, what you said is wrong." The beggar looked up at her, then at Tang Ning, and said, "Life is like a play, he plays the golden boy, you play the beautiful girl, some people play the official role, and some people play the official role.
Everyone wants to play a thief, but someone has to play a thief..."
This beggar might have graduated from the Department of Philosophy. Tang Ning couldn't help but look at him twice when a commotion suddenly came from behind her.
Peng Chen led two government officials through the crowd quickly. The two police officers were startled and asked: "Boss, what happened?"
"Someone reported a murder case outside the city. You two, come with me..." Peng Chen said quickly and hurried forward.
The case of human life is naturally much more serious than the crime of theft. One of the detectives glanced at the beggar and snorted: "Let you go this time!"
Tang Yaoyao tugged on Tang Ning's sleeve and whispered, "Go and have a look!"
She always liked to join in the fun, so Tang Ning was dragged by her and soon caught up with Peng Chen.
In the teahouse, two figures stood up.
"Human life case..." Song Qian slowly rubbed his thumb and index finger and said, "Go and take a look."
…
The murder occurred at a stream outside the city. Early this morning, farmers who came to the stream to fetch water found a body drowned in the water.
Tang Yaoyao didn't dare to look at the body, so she pulled Tang Ning and hid far away.
After a while, Peng Chen came over and said solemnly: "It's a female corpse. The identity of the corpse has been identified. Now let's call her relatives to come over and confirm."
Tang Yaoyao naturally did not dare to stay here, so she took Tang Ning and Peng Chen and rushed to a village by the stream.
The police had just entered the village and heard that someone had died in the village. The whole village immediately exploded.
"That mother-in-law is usually very fierce. She's dead no matter what!"
"She is the only one who harms others on weekdays, who can harm her!"
"I just saw her yesterday, and it was only one night. Why did this person die..."
Under the leadership of the villagers, several people soon arrived in front of a dilapidated courtyard.
Peng Chen knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was a man with a sinister face.
When he saw the policeman, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "What are you doing?"
Tang Ning caught the man's unnatural look that flashed across his face when he saw the official.
Just as Peng Chen was about to speak, Tang Ning stepped forward and said, "We found a body and suspect that the deceased is your wife. We need you to go to the scene immediately to identify it."
"What!" The man's face changed drastically and he said in disbelief: "What happened to my wife?"
Tang Ning waved her hand, pulled him out of the courtyard, and said loudly: "Time is urgent. Go to the crime scene as soon as possible. There are police officers waiting for you there."
"My lady..." After the middle-aged man came to his senses, he wailed and ran out of the village.
Among the crowd, Fang Hong shook his head and said: "This case has no beginning and no end. Magistrate Zhong is afraid that he will have another headache..."
Song Qian looked back at the direction where the man disappeared, shook his head and said, "Isn't the case already solved?"
"What?" Fang Hong looked at Song Qian in surprise.
Song Qian looked at Tang Ning, with a strange look on his face, and exclaimed: "As expected of Tang Jieyuan!"
At the entrance of the hospital, Tang Ning looked at Peng Chen and said, "Why are you still standing there?"
Peng Chen looked at him doubtfully: "What should I do?"
