Tangning didn't mean anything else, what he said was the truth.
When it comes to women disguising themselves as men, Tang Yaoyao does have a natural advantage over Su Ruzhongyi and even Qing'er. She only needs one set of clothes and doesn't use any other extra fabric.
The people who eat melons must have the awareness and quality of the people who eat melons. The psychological quality of him and Tang Yaoyao still needs to be improved. In the future, you should not watch the excitement and don't watch it randomly.
In Zhong Mansion, Chen Yuxian looked at the table full of food, then at the empty seats on both sides, looked at Zhong Yi and asked, "What's wrong with Ning'er?"
"He said he's not hungry now." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "After a while, I will bring some food to his room."
Chen Yuxian nodded and murmured: "What happened today? Your father just finished handling a case and encountered something urgent. He went out without saying a few words, and Ning'er didn't come over for dinner..."
She looked at Tang Yaoyao who walked in from the door and said with a smile: "Yaoyao came just in time. Let's sit down and have something to eat together. There is your favorite boiled meat..."
Tang Yaoyao, who had just stepped in, covered her mouth, turned around and ran out quickly.
Chen Yuxian watched her disappear and murmured: "One by one, what's going on..."
There is a post house somewhere in Lingzhou City.
"Master Fang, Master Song." Zhong Mingli, who came in a hurry, had just seen Fang Hong and Song Qian, and Zhao Zhijie stepped in from the outside.
After some greetings, Zhao Zhijie looked at Fang Hong and asked, "Two gentlemen, has the envoy from Chu State really arrived in Lingzhou?"
Fang Hong nodded and said, "We have just received news from Governor Dong."
Not long after, local officials of rank seven and above gathered in the post house in Lingzhou City.
More than ten carriages drove slowly from a distance and stopped at the entrance of the post house. A figure got off the carriage.
As the chief official of Lingzhou, Dong Cunyi, the governor of Lingzhou, walked out of the station and said with a smile on his face: "I am Dong Cunyi, the governor of Lingzhou. Your envoy has come from afar, and I am not welcome at a distance. I hope the envoy will not be offended..."
A middle-aged man at the head smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome."
Governor Dong looked behind him and introduced: "This is Lord Ti Xing Song of Jingdong Road, and this is Lord Fang, the Minister of Staff..."
Governor Dong introduced the officials present one by one. When he introduced Zhong Mingli, he hesitated for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and said: "This is Mr. Zhong, the magistrate of Yong'an County..."
"Yong'an County?" The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "When I just entered the city, I heard that a fatal case seemed to have occurred in Yong'an County. I wonder if the case can be solved..."
The expressions of the officials present changed slightly. The envoy from Chu State had just arrived at the post house. He mentioned this murder case without mentioning anything else. Obviously, he wanted to make them Lingzhou officials look bad.
Was the murder case that just happened solved so quickly?
Hearing this, Governor Dong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhong Mingli and asked, "Master Zhong, is this possible?"
"It is indeed true." Zhong Mingli nodded and said, "But the culprit in this case has been arrested, so your envoy will not bother."
The middle-aged man had a strange look on his face, looked at Zhong Mingli twice, and said with a smile: "Master Zhong is really quick to solve the case..."
This is about the face of Lingzhou and the face of Chen State. Governor Dong knew the importance of it, so he smiled and said: "That is, Mr. Zhong is like a god in solving cases. No one in Lingzhou City knows about it... …”
Zhong Mingli looked at him and said modestly: "President Dong is overly commendable."
The invisible confrontation initiated by the Chu envoy was easily resolved. Fang Hong stepped forward and said, "The envoy has come from afar. It's not too late to enter the post house."
When the Chu envoy and his party walked into the post house, a Lingzhou official showed a smile on his face, bowed his hand to Zhong Mingli, and whispered: "Master Zhong, I have yours!"
Everyone bowed their hands to Zhong Mingli before walking into the post house.
Zhong Mingli breathed a sigh of relief, with a bit of pride on his face. Zhao Zhijie looked at him and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just that I have a good son-in-law? What I am proud of is not your credit..."
Zhong Mingli looked at him and said calmly: "I have it, do you have it?"
…
Tang Ning didn't have much appetite for most of the day, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Tang Ning recovered. As a man, you still need to have good mental quality, and you can't be as weak as Fairy Tang.
During dinner, my father-in-law had not come back yet, which naturally aroused some dissatisfaction from my mother-in-law.
I heard from the police officer in the yamen that envoys from the State of Chu were passing through Lingzhou, and all the officials of the seventh rank and above in Lingzhou City went to the post house.
Tang Ning didn't know much about the international situation, and she knew very little about Chu State.
He only knows that this country is to the west of Chen State and borders Chen State. The two countries have friendly relations, love each other, and have been friends for more than ten years.
Of course, friendship only means that there is no war between the two countries. More than ten years ago, the state of Chu was far inferior to the state of Chen in national power. It paid tribute to the state of Chen every year in order to maintain national stability, establishing the relationship between the two countries as the elder brother and the younger brother.
Today, the Chu State's national power is no longer the same as before. Although it still pays tribute to Chen State every year, the tributes are decreasing year by year. There is a faint trend that the younger brother wants to be on an equal footing with the older brother.
Of course, this is just a trend. At least on the surface, Chen Guo still takes the lead. This time Chu State sent envoys to deliver tributes.
Tang Ning didn't have much opinion on the international situation. He just felt that being an official was not easy. He got up early every day and worked hard every day. He couldn't even sit down with his family to have a good meal. His salary was not very high. What were you doing?
This is just a small county magistrate. The officials in the yamen in the capital have to deal with the affairs of a country. Wouldn't they be even busier?
I heard that the morning starts at five o'clock, and the courtiers have to get up at three o'clock. He really can't get up so early.
Tang Ning was reading in the room, and Zhong Mingli walked to the door, knocked on the door, and walked in.
He looked at Tang Ning and said, "Although you shouldn't slack off in studying, the state exam has passed and you can rest for a few days. There is no need to work so hard."
Tang Ning stood up and said, "I have nothing to do, just read a book for fun."
Zhong Mingli paused for a moment and asked, "Have you met Master Fang and Master Song today?"
Tangning nodded and said, "We met by chance."
Today in the post house, Jingdong Lu Tixing praised him in front of the Chu envoys and Lingzhou officials, saying that he had taught a good son-in-law who was smart and alert, and many of his colleagues also praised him...
..., Zhong Mingli has never been so arrogant in his entire life.
On the way back, he was thinking in his mind, should he be nicer to this virtuous son-in-law in the future?
He took out a few banknotes from his sleeves, handed them to Tang Ning, and said, "I heard that Miss Ru is going to buy a shop in the city. You should take the money and put it to good use."
Tang Ning was surprised. He knew that his father-in-law's pocket money was closely watched. The total number of these banknotes amounted to at least a few hundred taels. Could it be his private money?
If his mother-in-law knew that he had hidden so much private money with unknown origins and destinations, it would not be as simple as a slap on the back...
Tangning quickly said: "No, no, I have the money for the shop..."
Zhong Mingli put the banknotes in his hand and said, "Take it."
"Ning'er, Buzhuang just sent new clothes, try them on to see if they fit..." Chen Yuxian walked in from the door holding a piece of clothes, looked at Tang Ning and Zhong Mingli, and then looked at the banknotes in their hands.
, asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?"
Zhong Mingli looked at her, put the banknote into Tang Ning's hand, and said dissatisfied: "Why did you give me so many banknotes? I can't use them..."
He turned around and looked at Chen Yuxian, shook his head, and sighed: "This kid is really outrageous..."
After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and walked out minding his own business.
Tang Ning stared blankly at the banknote in her hand. Chen Yuxian walked over and said with a frown: "You will have more places to use your money in the future. Hurry up and put it away. What can you do for your father-in-law..."
