Chapter 106
Because of the resignation of the Tang Mansion, Min Li only thought that she had hurt herself at home, so she did not listen to Xiao Tang's persuasion, so she came to the Lin Mansion to visit, but unexpectedly, she witnessed a shocking scene.
One is the brother of the Ling family who she has had a crush on since she was a child, and the other is a close friend in the boudoir who has almost nothing to talk about, and she almost became her sister-in-law
Ling Jingshen saw Min Li turn around and run away, his feet moved slightly, but he still didn't catch up, but left him alone, and shouted: "Min Li" pulled the flowers and rushed over.
Minli's eyes were blurred with tears, and she ran forward for a while, sad to the bone, staggering, hurried to her, grabbed her arm, and said, "Minli, listen to me." ”
Min Li barely stood on her feet and said, "What else do you have to say, you guys" couldn't go on, and I didn't know how to speak.
Tang Minli looked at what was in front of her, full of shock and couldn't: didn't she like Ling Jingshen very much at the beginning, every time she mentioned it, she was disgusted, and it didn't seem like she was pretending, whenever Minli spoke for Jingshen, she would be displeased, and she would be angry.
However, now that I heard them speak, it was unusual, this kind of intimacy and affection, I am afraid that Xiao Tang has never had it.
Lin saw that Minli's face was full of horror, so he said softly: "Minli, don't blame me, I can't do anything." ”
Min Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Why is it Brother Jingshen, you don't like him the most?"
After thinking about it, he lowered his head and said, "Originally, I really didn't like him, but then I unconsciously could only say that it was just fate." At the end, he smiled a little.
When Min Li heard the word "fate", her heart ached, but at this moment, she was already engaged, even if she bumped into them like this, how could she see Lin smiling again, it was as if she had already made a promise.
Min Li was shocked and gloomy, but despite this, she couldn't hold back her tears and reluctantly said: "I originally thought that you must be unhappy because of your brother's resignation, so I came to visit."
When Min Li said this, she was suddenly stunned, and remembered that Xiao Tang had told her not to ask her to come to the Lin Mansion.
As soon as Min Li's voice stopped, she looked over, but saw that her face was a little uncomfortable, and she thought that the two of them were so intimate, and it didn't seem like they could be overnight Min Li's heart was full of doubts, so she asked: "I still don't understand, you fell in love with Brother Jingshen, whether it was before or after your brother quit."
Hearing her ask like this, her face flushed slightly, but she was still silent, Minli could see it, and her heart was shocked for a while.
It turned out that Min Li had doubted why those rumors about Xiao Tang had spread so much overnight, and Xiao Tang decisively quit his relatives and never went to the Tang Mansion to make noise.
It's just that the two of them were together at first glance, which made her have no time to think, so she calmed down at the moment and suddenly thought of this section.
Seeing this situation again, Min Li couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that before my brother withdrew, you would"
coughed lightly and said, "Minli, there is no need to ask about this matter. ”
When Min Li heard this, she became more and more convinced of what she was thinking, and suddenly turned into anger, and said: "Don't ask you to tell me the truth, when did you start" She asked while thinking wildly: Please help her at the beginning, let her bring Ling Jingshen into the Tang Mansion, so that she can show her heart, could it be that at that time, it was in front of me, but why didn't she see anything unusual at all
Frowning and silent, Min Li only said: "If what I said is not right, you should make it clear to me."
I was embarrassed in my heart, the relationship between her and Ling Jingshen was originally a confused account, and she reluctantly said how to talk about it: "It's already like this, why mention the past"
Seeing that she was secretive, she didn't look like she was sharp and unforgiving, her heart was half cold, and she tried to ask: "Did you have such a thing when I asked you to invite my brother to our house that time?"
frowned, and was repeatedly forced by her to ask, so she simply said: "I didn't understand my mind at the time, but at this moment"
Before the words fell, Min Li was already trembling with anger, and said: "In this case, you have already had an affair with him first, and you just deceived me, do you know that you have already made a marriage with my brother, and you actually put my brother in a certain place."
Then he frowned and said, "Brother Yi doesn't have me in his heart, not to mention that he has already noticed it." ”
Min Li was shocked, took a step back, and pointed, "You are so shameless that you said this."
Seeing her accusing herself, she couldn't help but say: "Why bother saying that I am not also destined for the Su Wangfu, but you are still selfishly worried about the depth of field"
When Min Li heard this, her face turned red, and tears poured out again, pointing tremblingly, but she was so angry and ashamed that she couldn't speak.
Seeing her like this, she said again: "The word love, it's hard to say, Minli, we're getting better, why bother with this now, anyway, now the two mansions have withdrawn, and everyone will still be good in the future."
When Min Li heard this, she laughed out loud angrily, and sneered: "Whoever is good with you, I only think you are a confidant and a good person, so I don't avoid you at all, but I play with me and my brother in the palm of my hand, but now I still say that I want to have a good relationship with us, presumably my brother quit his relatives in order to fulfill you, I only hate me, I am really blind, so I mislooked at you"
I was unhappy in my heart, and I was a little angry, so I said: "Enough is enough, and now no one is dead, why do you have to say these cruel words"
Min Li sneered: "Who said that people have to die to say these cruel things, let alone since they can do such shameless things, are they afraid that people can't say it?"
Lin has been intersecting with Tang Minli since childhood, Minli has always been a gentle and tolerant character, if the two have some disputes, it is Minli who takes a step back first, and has long been accustomed to pressing her, at this moment listening to Minli's words, her heart has been on fire, at first she was a little ashamed, but at this time she turned into anger, and said: "At the beginning, I don't know who shamelessly asked me to ask a man outside to meet."
Minli listened to this piercing sentence, a face quickly turned snow-white, she trembled, looking at the extremely affectionate face in front of her, only to feel that the familiarity of the past was just a great joke, for a moment angry and hateful, so she raised her hand and slapped at that face, but before her hand fell, she was gently held by someone's wrist.
Min Li was stunned, and slowly turned her head with tears, but saw that it was Ling Jingshen who made the shot, and she didn't know when he came to the two of them, and the tears in Min Li's eyes rolled down.
But I heard Ling Jingshen say: "Enough"
Seeing that Min Li raised her hand to slap herself, she was about to say a few words, but when Ling Jingshen made a move to restrain Min Li, she smiled slightly, and then stopped making a sound, just looked at Min Li, and there was a smug look in her eyes.
Min Li saw it clearly, and her heart was like a knife, and she struggled to wrestle her wrist, but she couldn't fight, so she only choked with hatred: "Let go"
Ling Jingshen didn't let go, only said: ", I'll send Minli back." ”
Hearing this, he said, "Can't she go by herself?"
Before Ling Jingshen could speak, Min Li had already said loudly: "Let go", and she struggled desperately regardless of it.
Minli's maid was at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for a long time, and was a little anxious, when she suddenly heard Minli shouting, and immediately ran in and said, "What's wrong with the girl?"
Ling Jingshen saw that Minli was earning very much, if she wanted to restrain her, she was afraid that she would hurt her, so she had to let go, but Minli was struggling desperately, as soon as Ling Jingshen let go, Minli took a step back, her body shook, and she fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ling Jingshen hurriedly went over to help her up, Min Liren was on the ground, and shouted: "Don't come here, don't touch me"
At this moment, her maid rushed over when she heard the sound, and when she saw that she didn't know what was going on, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Minli up.
Min Li leaned on the maid and stood still, her face was already full of tears at the moment, and she felt that her body and mind were no longer there.
Minli took a deep breath before saying, "You two, listen to me, from now on, there will be no Sister Lin, and there will be no Brother Jingshen, I, Tang Minli, will never recognize the two of you from now on." At the end of the sentence, although his eyes were wide open, tears still fell silently.
Seeing this, the maid was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, so she only held her tightly, feeling that Minli's body was shaking non-stop, and her hand was holding her hand. The maid had never seen Minli lose her temper like this, and her eyes were red for a while, and she almost burst into tears.
After Tang Minli finished speaking, she stopped looking at the two of them and said to the maid, "Go home." With the support of the maid, he went out of the yard.
Behind him, Lin saw Minli going away, so he said: "I didn't expect this girl to be crazy like this, it's unreasonable."
Suddenly, seeing that Ling Jingshen had been looking at Minli's back, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous, so he said: "Everyone is gone, just watch, if you don't feel at ease, I'm afraid that people won't appreciate it." ”
Ling Jingshen looked back at her and said, "Why do you quarrel with Minli like this, don't you know that Xiao Tang loves her the most, if you know that she has been wronged, I am afraid that she will be unhappy." ”
said: "I didn't bully her, she still wants to beat me"
Thinking of Ling Jingshen's actions to defend himself, he felt a little sweetness in his heart, so he hugged Ling Jingshen's arm, looked up at him with a sweet smile and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise I would have been slapped in the face by that girl." ”
Ling Jingshen saw her coquettish state, so he smiled slightly, but pulled his arm back and said, "In broad daylight, just be careful."
I had to grab the corners of my clothes and rub them around, and suddenly asked, "That girl is angry, will she talk nonsense to people?"
Ling Jingshen thought for a while, lowered his eyelids, and said, "With Minli's temperament, it's not like that." ”
Lin nodded, and suddenly thought that Min Li also had a handle in her hands, so even if Min Li wanted to break this matter, she had to weigh it first, and it was best to wait for her to calm down, and everyone didn't have to make such an ugly scene.
Let's say that Minli got in the car and went home, and she was in pain all the way, crying so much that she had a headache, and she thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of Xiao Tang.
When I heard that Xiao Tang had withdrawn from the marriage, she also said a few words for her, because she saw Xiao Tang's face was light, and blamed him for being so cold-hearted, saying that the marriage would be broken, regardless of whether she was sad or not, now that she thinks about it, how wronged her brother is and how stupid she is
Along the way, she almost cried all the tears of half her life, and when the carriage returned to the Tang Mansion, Minli's eyes were red and swollen, but she stopped crying, and only went back to her room first, calling for water and bathing.
When Xiao Tang came back that day, he heard that she had gone out, so he couldn't help but ask, Min Li really said that she went to Lin Mansion, but when she met Lin Ling and the two of them and all kinds of situations, she didn't mention it, she only came back after a few gossips, and that's it.
Xiao Tang saw that her face was pale, but her eyes were obviously crying, so he didn't ask again, but after coming out, he found the maid who accompanied her today for interrogation.
Although Min Li also strictly ordered the maid not to divulge anything, how could ordinary people stand up to Xiao Tang's question, he only said two words, and immediately told everything he saw and heard.
When Xiao Tang heard this, he immediately understood.
After another two days, Ling Jingshen's transfer appointment came down, it turned out that since the last time due to lax city defense, let the golden flying squirrel slip out of the city, as soon as the imperial history played, implicated, he dismissed a city patrol captain and more than a dozen guards, but the nine city patrol belonged to the prince's people, although a position was vacant, it took a little more time to choose.
King Su recommended a few of his own people, of course the prince was not happy, the prince wanted to use the officials under his command again, and King Su was disobedient, and when the two of them were fighting for me, it happened that Lin Shenzhou recommended Ling Jingshen.
The prince saw that he was Lin Yushi's person, and he had the heart to give some face, and King Su saw that it was Lin Yushi's recommendation, and it was not good to argue anymore, so the two of them took a step back, and gently let Ling Jingshen get this position.
On this day, some generals who have always been good friends with Jingshen set up a banquet for him to celebrate, and there were many eyeliner henchmen sent by King Su and the prince at the banquet. ”
When everyone heard this, they became more and more happy, because they all knew that Xiao Tang and Ling Jingshen had always had a close relationship and had a very good relationship, so they all thought that Xiao Tang would come this time, and they must also congratulate each other.
Seeing this, Ling Jingshen had already stepped forward first, and said, "Tang Shilang also came, and I thought you were busy with affairs, so I didn't dare to invite you." ”
Xiao Tang looked at him and smiled slightly: "No matter how busy you are, Lord Ling is promoted, no matter what, you have to be there to congratulate him" Saying that, someone handed over the wine, Xiao Tang took it, saluted the depth of field, and the two of them each had a cup.
Seeing this, everyone was about to invite Xiao Tang to the table, but Xiao Tang said: "Thanks to the prince's blue eyes, Lord Lin recommended this position of captain of the city patrol to fall into the hands of Lord Ling, I am afraid that the future is immeasurable, but the captain of the city patrol is a military position, Lord Ling has only been in charge of the prison of the criminal department before, but I don't know what his skills are, whether he is competent or not."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, and they didn't understand what Tang Shilang meant by saying this at this moment, Jing Shen looked at Xiao Tang's eyes, and said modestly: "Although Xia Guan also knows some martial arts, he is just a general, and he can only do his best in the future to live up to the emperor's grace." ”
Xiao Tang said: "It's naturally good to have a heart, but if you can't get over it, what's the use of screaming."
At this moment, everyone saw that something was wrong, and they were silent for a while, only listening to the two of them.
The depth of the field asked: "What does Tang Shilang think?"
Xiao Tang tilted his head to look at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "I want to have a few tricks with Master Ling, so how about a competition."
Jing Shen smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you Tang Shilang for watching it, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient today, so I'll change the day."
Xiao Tang had already walked over and said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, today is a good day for Lord Ling, there is a way that people are in good spirits when they are happy, and adults must be able to be heroic and brave" As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the depth of field.
Jing Shen frowned, glanced down at his hand, shook one arm, and shook Xiao Tang's hand away, but Xiao Tang turned out to be a false move, and struck Jing Shen on his chest with a palm.
The depth of field blocked with one hand, forcibly separated his hand, and neither of them moved a step, but between the lightning and flint, there were already several moves.
The surrounding guests were still staring blankly at first, and gradually withdrew, lest they be affected, at first they felt that the two of them were probably just fighting, but suddenly Xiao Tang turned around, kicked a chair, between the lightning and flint, the chair thunderously rushed towards the depth of field, the depth of field water fell suddenly leaned over, can be avoided, the chair hit the wall, suddenly a loud noise, split.
Xiao Tang didn't give up, raised his hand and held the tabletop, and the depth of field stepped forward and pressed his palm, and the two of them actually fought with dark power.
When the guests saw this, they were shocked, and knew that they had moved the real character, so they immediately shouted and ran downstairs in a panic.
At this moment, only to hear the sound of "click", it turned out that the table could not withstand the wrestling between the two, and split it in half, Xiao Tang raised his hand, and the cups, plates and bowls on this half of the table suddenly flew up, splitting their heads and covering their faces to the side of the depth of field, and there were those guests who were running slowly, they could not help but be smashed or hit or sprinkled, making them miserable, and their bodies were very wolf.
In an instant, everyone on the second floor fled cleanly, only to be frightened downstairs. The two upstairs were fighting endlessly, only to hear Xiao Tang sneer: "What kind of man is he who just blindly avoids and escapes?"
Ling Jingshen said: "The lower officials don't dare to ask Tang Shilang's subordinates to show mercy. ”
Xiao Tang said: "I have mercy on you, you have left a little affection for me" There was a faint anger in his voice.
I only heard a muffled snort, and then fell heavily with a "bang", and the depth of the field said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to cough" and finally it was a cry of pain.
A few bold ones tilted their heads from the stairs to look up, and faintly saw Ling Jingshen half-lying on the ground, while Xiao Tang stepped on his waist with one foot, slightly exerting force, Jingshen's face was full of pain, and his face turned pale.
Those people wanted to persuade but didn't dare to come out, they complained for a long time, and they couldn't think about it, when they suddenly saw Zhao Yongmu, the king of Xi, running in like the wind, and saw that everyone was crowded on the first floor like thunderous ducks, and looked up at the second floor in unison, he said: "Tang Shilang is on it"
Everyone forgot to salute, they all hurriedly nodded and said yes, King Xi didn't say a word, and rushed upstairs with a jump, only to hear a noise above, not long after, King Xi took Xiao Tang's hand, pulled him horizontally and vertically from the upstairs, did not stop a step, went straight out of the door, and ran away without a trace.
Seeing this, the big guy hurriedly rushed upstairs again, but saw that Jing Shen was staggering up from the ground, everyone held on to it, and asked for clues, Jing Shen's face was injured, but he still comforted everyone: "Tang Shilang is just trying my martial arts, and it's okay for everyone to forget their feelings for a while, it's okay." ”
Although everyone felt that there must be an inside story, they naturally did not dare to ask about it, but this matter quickly spread all over Beijing.
After more than ten days, there was a sudden news that Lin Yushi's young lady was engaged to Ling Jingshen, and those who knew that Xiao Tang had done it with Ling Jingshen heard it, and they all suddenly realized, just that Tang Shilang had no choice but to cancel the marriage contract with the Lin Mansion, but unexpectedly it was Ling Jingshen, presumably Tang Shilang already knew about it, and he was secretly annoyed in his heart, so the "competition" that day was mostly due to this reason.
Not to mention everyone's random speculation, just say that on the day of the engagement of the depth of field, in the Xiwang Mansion, Yongmu asked someone to clean up a table of simple vegetables and invite Xiao Tang.
The two of them ate a few glasses of wine, and Zhao Yongmu saw that Xiao Tang's face was pale, so he smiled and said: "Dare to be affectionate, you are still reluctant to give up, your delicate young lady actually staged a jealous scene in front of everyone, you are really there." ”
Xiao Tang glanced at him, noncommittal, and only snorted coldly.
King Xi's eyes changed a few times, and he suddenly smiled slyly. Xiao Tang said: "What are you laughing at?"
King Xi said: "I thought of a good thing, I will tell you at this time, and it will also let you be distracted and relieved, before I entered the palace, the sixth princess asked me about you." ”
Xiao Tang frowned and said, "The princess asked me what to do again"
King Xi looked at him and smiled: "You said, it's not that you are greedy for your beauty, why bother to say such a thing." ”
Xiao Tang took a sip, still looking cold and lazy, ignoring it.
King Xi took the chopsticks and gave him a piece of seasonal vegetables, and knocked twice on his plate with the head of the chopsticks, and said: "Seriously, you are really not tempted, as long as you nod your head, there is still a princess, no problem, isn't it better than Miss Lin The sixth princess said, I don't care about those gossips, and I also said that I am a golden branch and jade leaf, and I will naturally suppress your lone star into life."
Xiao Tang said lightly: "That's it, I'm afraid I can't afford it." Besides, wouldn't this be the way out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den?"
When King Xi heard this, he laughed wildly, and only after a while did he say: "What a big boldness, you dare to compare the palace to a wolf's den, then what am I, don't you want to live quickly, beg me, or I will stab you out." ”
Xiao Tang glanced at him and said, "You can go." "Still bowing your head to eat and drink.
King Xi laughed to himself for a long time, and when he saw that Xiao Tang had been indifferent, he stretched out his arm, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "That's it, if you really have no intention, but you can also make it, and I will accompany you if there is no one in the house." ”
Xiao Tang smiled when he heard this, took King Xi's hand away from his shoulder, and said: "You are not as good as me, you should always plan for yourself, it has been a long time since you returned to Beijing, haven't you found someone who can be the successor princess?"
When King Xi heard this, he stopped, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I think of a person who is not as good as you and give me details."
Xiao Tang poured himself a glass of wine, and there was a little smile in his eyes, and he raised his glass and asked, "Oh, which girl is so unlucky?"
King Xi looked into his eyes with a smile and said slowly: "This person is actually your little friend, Ying Jia's Huaizhen."
Xiao Tang took a sip of wine, heard "your little friend", his heart was already different, the smile was abruptly closed, and then heard the word "Huaizhen", a mouthful of wine spicy across the throat, swallowed and couldn't swallow, all the uncomfortable endured a few endurance, and finally squirted out, the opposite side of King Xi was caught off guard, and there was a burst of wine mist in his face, and in an instant, his face was full of wine.
King Xi sat for a long time before he took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes, nodded and sighed: "What do you mean by this?"
