When Tang Ning saw Xiao Jue again, he was walking with a limp and there were red marks on his neck.
Xiao Jue walked across from him, looked at Tang Ning, and said disappointedly, "You have betrayed my trust in you."
Tangning said expressionlessly: "Next time you dare to show off in front of me, I will ask Yaoyao to show Lu Ya the poem I wrote for her."
"Don't!" Xiao Jue's expression suddenly changed. He just placed a few pots of flowers and hung a few red cloths in the room, but he had already suffered a disaster.
If Lu Ya knew that Tang Ning often wrote poems to his wife - wouldn't this kill him?
He looked at Tang Ning and said, "Well, actually, I came to you to ask how to draw eyebrows. In addition, you can teach me a few more dishes..."
"Practice the thrush thing on Xiao Fu's face. Practice makes perfect. Just practice more." Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "As for cooking, the winter bamboo shoots this season are delicious. How about I teach you one first?"
Stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots?”
"Let's try another one." Xiao Jue refused without hesitation and gritted his teeth and said, "I hate bamboo shoots!"
…
Yesterday, Tang Ning went to Prince Huai's Mansion, discussed with him about streamlining the tax system, and reached an agreement.
After finishing this matter, there has been nothing important recently. If there is, it is a rare two-person world with Tang Yaoyao.
Today she and Mr. Tang went to Ling's house, and Tang Ning was alone at home with nothing to do.
Zhong Yi and Su Ru returned to Lingzhou, taking Qing'er and several maids with them. Tang Yaoyao also took Xiu'er away, and even her daughter went to school. Tang Ning was at home and could only face Lao Zheng.
Tang Ning was reading in the study, when Old Zheng walked in from the outside, leaned against the door, and asked, "Did the old beggar say when he would be back?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "No."
The last time he received news from the old beggar was from the Cangzhou branch of the Beggar Clan. Cangzhou is located in the extreme east of Chen State, and further east is the border of Chu State. After the old beggar and Xiaoxiao disappeared from Cangzhou, there was no news.
, Tangning guessed that they were heading to Chu State.
He looked at Lao Zheng and asked, "Why do you ask this? Do you miss him?"
Lao Zheng didn't say anything, and didn't know when he saw him. He turned around and walked out, sitting in the yard, carefully wiping the butcher's knife in his hand.
Kyoto, Kingdom of Chu.
"Sugar-coated haws!"
"Baozi, hot buns!"
"I, Liu Banxian, learned from Zhuge's divine fortune teller, fortune teller, numerologist, fortune teller, no money required..."
…
In the past ten years, the State of Chu has developed rapidly. Not only did it get rid of the shackles of the State of Chen, but after King Xin succeeded to the throne, the domestic situation was even better. Now there are no more enemies in the grassland, the State of Chu is stable, and Kyoto, as the capital of the State of Chu, is prospering day by day.
.
On a certain street in Kyoto, a girl held a candied haws in one hand and a steamed bun in the other. She looked at the noodle stall in front of her and said, "Master, it smells so good. I want to eat noodles..."
The girl and the sloppy beggar sat down at the noodle stall. The old beggar looked at the old woman selling noodles and said, "Here are two bowls of noodles."
The old woman glanced at him but did not look away immediately.
The old beggar glanced at her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
The old woman placed the bowl heavily on the table and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
The old beggar rolled up his sleeves and said, "I want to fight!"
The old woman picked up the spoon and snorted coldly, "I don't get what I asked for!"
After saying that, she raised the spoon and took it.
The old beggar easily removed a stool leg and stepped forward.
The girl looked at the two people who started fighting after a disagreement, and opened her mouth in surprise.
A tall figure walked out of the shop. The girl was startled, then stood up immediately and said happily: "Sister Lan..."
…
Tang Ning has not been to Shangshu Province in the past few days. Shangshu Province seems to be a place where nothing major happens, but whenever she goes there, there are troubles everywhere.
There are so many prefectures across the country and so many yamen in Beijing. Even if one yamen has one envelope, the total number of coupons every day can fill a big box.
However, what made Tangning happy was that after these incidents, Chen Huang finally noticed a salted fish hiding in the corner.
King Huai was also assigned to the Shangshu Province, and he was finally able to take some of the pressure off Tangning.
Tangning thought he could have a good rest at home for a few days, but something happened next that greatly disrupted his plans.
There was a fight in the capital yesterday. Fights were originally small cases, but they happen every day in the capital. However, there were too many people involved in yesterday's fight, and their identities were too sensitive, which caused inconvenience.
Small impact.
Last night at a restaurant in Beijing, more than a dozen of the rich and powerful had a conflict over a trivial matter. They got into a fight, and it eventually turned into a gang fight. Although there were no casualties, the restaurant was burned down by mistake, affecting five surrounding restaurants.
Shop.
A restaurant and five shops are nothing to these powerful people. They can just pay some money and settle the matter.
But I don't know which troublesome censor wrote a note and handed it directly to His Majesty, and the matter was completely out of control.
As we all know, Chen Guo has made great achievements both internally and externally in recent years.
In order to praise his achievements, His Majesty specially chose Xishan, which is the highest mountain near Gyeonggi Province, for the festival that only takes place every year. Now, His Majesty the Emperor wants to stand at the highest point within a radius of 500 miles to pay homage to Xishan.
Heaven and earth proclaimed his achievements to the ancestors of Chen State.
During this sensitive period, some arrogant and powerful officials in the capital shrank their heads and behaved with their tail between their legs, for fear of offending His Majesty and suffering unreasonable disasters.
Although the losses in this incident were not too serious, the timing was too coincidental. Emperor Chen wanted to publicize his achievements at the ceremony, conquer the grasslands externally, and stabilize the country internally so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment. As a result, not long before the ceremony was held,
For something like this to happen at the feet of the emperor of the capital, it was tantamount to a slap in the face.
The Jingzhao government office received news from the palace early in the morning, requesting a thorough investigation into the matter. All the people involved in the incident last night were arrested and thrown into jail.
So it was my father-in-law's turn to have a headache.
These people are all children of powerful people and belong to different factions. If this matter is not handled well, it may offend all the powerful people in the capital. What's more, several high-ranking generals are involved, making the problem even more difficult.
Among these people, not only the Ling family of Jinyu Guards, the Zhang family of Ximen Guards, and the Li family of Youyu Lin were involved. Although the Ling family did not say anything about this, if something happened to Ling Feng, Tang Ning would do it next time.
It's too late to go to Ling Mansion with Tang Yaoyao.
In addition, the Zhang family is the mother family of King Kang, and the Li family is the father-in-law of King Huai, making this matter even more difficult to make hasty decisions.
In the Jingzhao Mansion Office, Zhong Mingli looked at the noisy powerful disciples below, rubbed his brows, and said, "Take them down first, and we will interrogate them tomorrow."
In Prince Duan's Mansion.
When King Duan, who had been silent for many days, heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he said: "Both the Zhang family and the Li family are involved, wouldn't it be possible for Zhao Cheng and Zhao Rui to bite each other, this matter cannot be missed by me.
…”
"Your Highness, you must not do this!" A servant next to him said hurriedly: "Empress Hui and Mr. Tang have told you that your Highness will not be allowed to step out of the palace or do anything without your permission.
They said His Highness just needs to eat well, drink well and sleep well..."
"Eat well, drink well, sleep well..." Prince Duan's face darkened and he said, "Do they think I am a pig?"
