Whether the tofu is sweet or salty, this is a serious matter, so I will fight to the death for it.
Miss Li could never imagine what kind of conflict would arise between the sweet and salty parties hundreds of years later because of the taste of tofu noodle.
Li Tianlan took a bite of sweet tofu curd, and then looked at Tang Ning calmly.
Obviously, Tang Ning's reasons just now did not convince her.
"Tofu is tasteless. You get the sweet and salty stuff by yourself." Tang Ning shook her head and said, "It's just a joke. Don't worry about it. You and I have no grievances. How could I refuse someone thousands of miles away for no reason? I'm treating you today, Li."
Girls can eat three bowls."
Although it was Tang Ning's treat, his third uncle would definitely not take his money.
In this way, if Li Tianlan eats more than three bowls, he will feel distressed. If he feels distressed, he will definitely nag in Tangning's ear.
Li Tianlan did not dwell on it any longer and changed the subject: "I have long heard about the difficulty of the state examination in Chen State. The first test brought together more than ten subjects and left it to the candidates to decide on their own. It was the first of its kind in any country. If you can answer them all
And answering all the questions correctly, there has only been one case since the founding of the Chen Kingdom. Tang Jieyuan was able to do this at such a young age. Such talent is really admirable."
"It's not a talent..." Tangning smiled modestly and said, "I just spend the time that others spend drinking tea reading."
"Tang Jieyuan is as humble as ever. In the first round of the state examination, he can indeed be ranked first through hard work, but in the second and third round, hard work alone may not be enough."
Li Tianlan looked at him and said: "Especially the third policy discussion, which involves flood control, epidemic prevention, ethics and legal principles. It is rare for ordinary people to answer one question well, but Tang Jieyuan was able to attract praise from three co-examiners at the same time. Among more than a thousand candidates,
, and you are the only one who can do it.”
Only then did Tang Ning realize that Miss Li was more than a little stronger than Tang Yaoyao. Tang Yaoyao would never talk like this. She would not praise him for his hard work, let alone acknowledge his talent. She would only doubt his endurance.
He looked at Li Tianlan and said politely: "Brother Li was the number one scholar at the age of seventeen. Who else can be considered a hero in front of you?"
You must be polite. When others praise you, the best thing to do is not to be humble, but to immediately engage in a business exchange.
In addition, he still has some doubts about Li Tianlan's identity. No matter it is the Chen State or the Chu State, women cannot participate in the imperial examination. It is really incredible that she can become the number one scholar of the Chu State as a daughter. It cannot be
Is there some shady or secret operation?
Li Tianlan looked at him and said: "That is not as knowledgeable as Tang Jieyuan, and he is proficient in water treatment, medicine, law, and solving crimes."
Tangning smiled and said, "I'm not as knowledgeable as you said. In fact, I only have a little understanding..."
"Tang Jieyuan is being humble again." Li Tianlan shook his head and said, "When we first came to Lingzhou, we heard that Tang Jieyuan was extremely clever and repeatedly solved strange cases. Are these just rumors?"
"Although it's not a rumor, it's still a bit exaggerated... I really don't understand things like solving crimes." Tang Ning had finished eating her tofu. He still hadn't figured out Miss Li's tricks. She had gone through so much trouble.
His efforts, arranging a chance encounter, and saving the country through twists and turns were all just to praise himself?
But one thing is definitely true, that is, he must not follow her words, otherwise he will be surrounded by five hundred ducks immediately, and he has already realized this.
After breakfast, Tang Ning walked with her on the street. There was nothing going on, so she just took it as a meal.
When you meet the right person at the right time, time flies very fast. When you meet the wrong person, every step you take feels like suffering.
As Tang Ning and Li Tianlan walked, they "unknowingly" arrived at the post house where the Chu envoy was staying.
"I'll just send Brother Li here." Tang Ning looked at her and said with a smile, "See you another day."
Li Tianlan looked at his leaving figure. After a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and he whispered: "Did you do it on purpose?"
The middle-aged envoy from Chu State came over from a distance, looked at her, and asked, "Sir, have you figured out what he said?"
Li Tianlan shook his head.
The middle-aged envoy pondered for a moment and said: "As long as we closely monitor the movements of the Ministry of Water, we will know what strategies he has proposed to the Chen Kingdom. The Chen Kingdom's Jingjiang River has been flooded for a long time, and action will be taken soon...
"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused, looked at Li Tianlan, and said, "But this will take time, why not, let's just put that Tang Ning..."
Li Tianlan waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "No need, I have my own opinion on this matter."
Seeing that she had already spoken, the middle-aged envoy said no more.
He cupped his hands towards Li Tianlan, and when he walked towards the post house, he subconsciously touched his waist.
His steps suddenly stopped, he suddenly looked at his waist, and touched around in disbelief.
The next moment, he stood blankly on the spot, and his face immediately turned pale.
Li Tianlan looked at him and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
The middle-aged envoy's face had become flustered, and he said in a trembling voice: "The seal, the seal is lost!"
…
Lingzhou Post House became panicked, and Tang Ning had already returned home.
Zhong Mingli saw him and said in surprise: "Where is Mr. Li?"
Tangning raised her head and said, "Sent back to the inn."
Zhong Mingli was even more surprised: "So fast, what have you done?"
"I treated him to a bowl of tofu bread, took him for a walk, and then sent him back," Tang Ning told the truth.
Zhong Mingli glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't ask any more questions.
Tang Ning walked towards his yard. How could he have time to take a walk with Miss Li? Miss Tang's matter had not been resolved yet.
If this matter is not resolved for a day, he will not be able to let go. He does not want to lose a few teeth or break a few ribs for no reason.
The problem is that Fairy Tang has deliberately not seen him these past few days, leaving him no chance to apologize.
He came to the base of the wall and stood on a big stone, intending to explore the enemy's situation first.
He stuck his head out and looked towards Tang Yaoyao's yard, and saw her stepping on the stones and climbing up the yard wall.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other.
Peeping is inherently a shameful thing, but what is even more shameful is that the other person is also peeping, and the two people see each other.
Tang Ning could feel Tang Yaoyao's breath on his face, and the atmosphere gradually became more embarrassing.
"I'm sorry." He was the first to break the awkwardness.
Tangning looked at her sincerely and said, "I didn't do it on purpose that day."
Tang Yaoyao's expression was stunned for a moment, and then she became flustered. When she heard Tang Ning talk about that incident, her face even turned red.
She jumped off the stone, jumped up the courtyard wall from another place, and landed in Tang Ning's courtyard. She waved her hands generously and said, "Fists and feet have no eyes. People who practice martial arts do not stick to trivial matters."
When she said this, Tangning felt even more worried.
This is not Fairy Tang. If she doesn't listen to his explanation and directly fights him, he might feel more at ease.
She cracked her knuckles and said, "Come on, let me see if you have made any progress in the past two days."
Tangning shook her head.
Tang Yaoyao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll let you go just like I did that day."
Tang Ning continued to shake her head. It was not up to her whether to give in or not. She just wanted to find an opportunity to avenge the attack on her chest. Tang Ning was not stupid. He could just practice on his own from now on, and there was no need for Fairy Tang to give him tricks.
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him with disdain, looked at him, and asked, "Where did you learn that move?"
Tangning asked in confusion: "Which move?"
Fairy Tang glanced at him with a slightly unkind look. Tang Ning thought for a moment and immediately said, "I don't know what trick you were talking about. I suddenly used it at that time..."
He looked at Tang Yaoyao and asked: "Do you think this is a move I created myself because of my extraordinary talent?"
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and twitched her lips, "Haha..."
Tang Ning can understand that Tang Yaoyao may not be able to accept the fact that her talent is better than hers. This is human nature and is understandable.
In any case, it seemed that she was not going to worry about what happened last time, and Tang Ning was a little relieved.
He went back to his room and started doing today's policy practice. He wanted to write it as soon as possible, and then he would go to Zhong Yi's room in the evening and ask her to help him correct his grammar...
When he sat at the table and wrote the first word, Zhao Zhijie, the magistrate of Ngee'an County, frowned.
The envoy of the State of Chu lost money within his jurisdiction. If he only lost money, it would be okay, but according to the envoy, in addition to the money, he also lost an extremely important thing, that thing
, nothing can go wrong.
There is no small matter for an envoy. Governor Dong has given him a death order and the case must be solved within three days.
Zhao Zhijie knew the importance of this matter. If the case could not be solved, not to mention a small magistrate of Nghe An, even Dong Governor himself would be responsible.
He stood up, looked at a policeman beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Bring all the habitual thieves in that area back to the county government office!"
"Yes, sir!"
The policeman responded, and when he exited, he sighed.
The county government receives cases of theft almost every few days, but less than one out of ten is successfully solved. This time, the envoy of the State of Chu lost something, and his master was in big trouble.
