After settling the Jiangnan case and streamlining the tax system, Tang Ning asked Prime Minister Wang for a short vacation and prepared to have a good rest.
Emperor Chen knew that the things he had done recently were not easy, so he let him go.
Su Mei and Xiaoxiao were not at home, and the house was a little less lively. Yesterday Zhong Yi told him that she was going back to Lingzhou with her mother-in-law to worship, and Su Ru would also go back together. In this way, after they left,
Only Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao were left at home.
Tang Yaoyao has been preparing for the caravan to go to the grassland these days. The first caravan has just set off, and she has started preparing for the second caravan. She is extremely busy. Tangning can only see her at night sometimes.
Tang Ning arranged an accompanying team of hundreds of people for them, all of whom are elite disciples of the Beggar Clan. These people have been practicing martial arts for several years. Their daily practice is mainly based on formations. Even if they are old beggars, they can't get anything from them.
The benefits are enough to take on the responsibility of guarding.
Moreover, whenever they visited a place, they would contact the local branch of the Beggar Clan in advance. Tangning was not afraid of any danger to her group.
The only pity was that he took leave because he wanted to spend time with them, but as a result, Tang Yaoyao was the only one left in the family.
He and Tang Yaoyao have been in a strange state for a long time. They are said to be husband and wife. They eat together and sleep together, but they only eat and sleep together.
Tang Ning often couldn't figure out what she was thinking. In fact, he had never been good at guessing girls' thoughts.
He and Zhong Yi had a misunderstanding, and he and Xiao Ru were childhood sweethearts. Su Mei, Li Tianlan, Zhao Man, and Wanyan Yan all took the initiative, but there was a misunderstanding with Tang Yaoyao.
But their relationship cannot always exist in the form of a misunderstanding. He has been running around here and there for the past two years and has not had the chance to calm down and have a good talk with her. At this moment, he can no longer drag it out.
"uh-huh!"
There was a voice in her ears. Tang Ning raised her head and saw Rich Man Tang walking out from behind the Moon Gate. She stood up, cupped her hands and said, "Father-in-law."
Rich Man Tang looked at him and asked, "Where is Yaoyao?"
Tang Ning said, "I went out early in the morning."
Rich Man Tang asked: "Where have you gone?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "I should go to the shop."
"Should it?" Rich Man Tang snorted coldly and said, "As her husband-in-law, you don't even know where your wife has gone. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Rich Man Tang's tone was a little strange today. He had never been like this when Xiao Ru Xiaoyi was at home.
Moreover, when Tang Yaoyao made a show of marrying him, Rich Man Tang strongly opposed it, but now he seems to have acquiesced in the matter.
Tangning stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "I'm going to find her."
"Come back." Rich Man Tang whispered, pointed to the stone bench beside him, and said, "Sit down."
Tang Ning walked back, sat on the stone bench, and asked, "Father-in-law, is there anything else you want to do?"
Rich Man Tang glanced at him and said, "I know you are now a high official and busy with official duties, but no matter how busy you are with official duties, you should also take care of your family."
Tang Ning, who took days off every day and was absent from work, was already very considerate of her family. But when she explained to Rich Man Tang, he wouldn't listen. Tang Ning could only nod her head.
Rich Man Tang looked at him and said: "I only have one daughter, Yaoyao. Yaoyao's mother passed away early. From childhood to adulthood, I never let her suffer any injustice. If you dare to let her suffer, I can't spare you."
!”
Tangning waved her hands repeatedly: "No..."
Let the third lady suffer injustice, whether he has the ability or not, he must also have the courage.
"Whether she has been wronged, you know it yourself." Rich Man Tang glanced at him and said, "She is very busy these days. You are his husband-in-law. When you have nothing to do, spend more time with her and make her happy..."
Tang Ning said, "If my father-in-law had not said so, I would have done the same."
"Remember what you said." Rich Man Tang glanced at him and walked away.
Tangning sat in the courtyard and thought for a while, then stood up and walked out of the house.
On the streets of the capital, Xiu'er followed Tang Yaoyao and muttered: "The first lady and the second lady are not here, this is a good opportunity for you, young lady..."
Tang Yaoyao walked towards a shop in front and asked casually: "What's a good opportunity?"
"Of course they become a real couple..." Xiu'er looked at her and said helplessly: "How long will you wait until?"
Tang Yaoyao tapped her forehead and said, "Children, don't mind adults' affairs."
Xiu'er straightened her chest and said: "Miss, I am already nineteen years old, and other maids are nineteen years old and have been married long ago..."
Tang Yaoyao glanced at her and asked, "Do you want to get married?"
"I don't want to." Xiu'er hugged her arm tightly and said, "I want to be with the lady for the rest of my life."
Tang Yaoyao said: "Then you can't get married..."
Xiu'er curled her lips and said: "I am the first wife, I will marry whomever the young lady marries..."
Tang Yaoyao pinched her face and said, "Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. You have been wanting to take advantage of that guy for a long time..."
"Who's cheaper?" Tang Ning asked in surprise when she heard Tang Yaoyao and Xiu'er talking about whether it was cheap or not as soon as she walked into the shop.
"Nothing." Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm bored at home, let's go out for a walk." Tangning looked at Xiu'er and asked in confusion, "Xiu'er, why are you blushing?"
Xiu'er covered her face and said hurriedly: "No!"
Tang Ning didn't bother to ask her any further questions. She accompanied Tang Yaoyao around a few shops, and it was getting late.
Xiao Ru and Xiao Zhi didn't care, he could only sleep in Tang Yaoyao's room tonight.
Tang Yaoyao took a bath and when she returned to her room, she saw several side dishes on the table.
Tang Ning looked at her and said, "You didn't eat much in the afternoon. I made a few side dishes for midnight snack."
Tang Yaoyao walked over and saw her favorite dishes on the table. She glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me for?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "No."
Tang Yaoyao still didn't believe it and asked, "Then why are you so nice to me?"
Tangning crossed her arms and asked, "Am I not good enough to you?"
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and asked without answering, "When will Xiao Ru Xiaoyi come back?"
Tangning thought for a while and said, "It will take at least more than a month to come back and forth."
Tang Yaoyao was secretly happy, but she didn't show it. She took a bite of the food and said, "It tastes good."
Tang Ning cooked four side dishes, but each dish was not large in quantity. After the two of them finished the four dishes, drank some wine, and were ready to rest.
Tang Yaoyao took a bath today. When he lay next to Tang Ning, all he could smell was a fragrant fragrance.
This smell made Tangning feel a little distracted. He had been thinking about something all day long, and it was only at this moment that he made a decision in his mind.
The two of them were lying on their backs at first, but at a certain moment, Tangning turned to look at her.
Tang Yaoyao turned her head and looked at him. Seeing that his eyes were a little strange, her face turned red and she asked, "What are you doing?"
Tang Ning looked into her eyes. Tang Yaoyao's eyes immediately averted and she asked in a weak voice, "What are you looking at me doing..."
Tangning looked at her and asked, "Do you still remember that you owe me something?"
Tang Yaoyao glanced at her mouth and asked, "Is there any?"
Tangning asked, "You lost the bet last time. You need to promise me something, or anything. Have you forgotten?"
Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, Tang Yaoyao simply said: "What do you want?"
Tangning looked into her eyes and said, "I want you."
