73 Chapter 73 + 74 Attacked
The imperial examination is over, but the students are far from returning to their hometowns, the examination is over, and the list has not yet been released, and the mood of the students is more nervous than when the examination was made.
But these are none of Shen Ning's business, he can't care about his son's affairs every day, how can he spend so much time on these things, at most, because he cares about the business of the restaurant and understands something.
Therefore, Shen Ning knew that in addition to these things recently, there would be a large-scale chess meeting, and it was said that if you get the ranking, you can enter the Shanming Academy in the capital to study.
Shanming Academy is divided into four courtyards: plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, and the four courtyards are good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the academy will conduct a competition every year, not only the people of the academy participate, but also the people of other colleges can participate, some are for their own college to increase their reputation, some are for their own future, in short, year by year, the competition is getting bigger and bigger, and many local academies will come to participate in the competition, which has become another grand event after the imperial examination.
The conference was in full swing, and Shen Ning only learned later that Shanming Academy had also invited Tang Yanxiu, but because he had to read the exam papers, Tang Yanxiu did not participate, and when he heard the news, Shen Ning had to look at the happy smiling face of the doll in his arms, and talked helplessly.
Sure enough, people are more popular than people, and if you are a little smart, forget it.
As the competition of Shanming Academy gradually passed, a person named Tang Qi gradually became known to the people and magnates in the capital, because of his quick thoughts, amazing chess skills, and cute appearance [Great Fog], some people called him Tang Qi Gongzi, and the name Tang Qi Gongzi gradually spread.
When Shen Ning heard this title, he couldn't hold back for a while and smiled.
Tang Qigongzi?
Tang Qi, this guy looks like he's doing well.
Smiling and smiling, thinking about this chess genius, Shen Ning's eyes rolled and he had an idea in his head.
"Uncle Nan, if you go to visit this Seventh Prince of Tang, you will say that the Prime Minister heard about his talent and invited him to come to the mansion for a small gathering."
Uncle Nan was extremely obedient to Shen Ning's words, especially after seeing Tang Yanxiu's performance towards Shen Ning, as well as the two lovely little boys, he decided to do what Shen Ning said as long as there was nothing wrong.
When the words were sent to Tang Qi and Zhai Shubai, both of them were a little apprehensive in their hearts.
Prime Minister, Prime Minister invited him to a small gathering at the house?
"Mountain Chief."
"Rest easy." Zhai Shanchang didn't know the prime minister's intentions, he didn't know what to say for a while, and he thought about it for a while, probably because the prime minister fell in love with Tang Qi's talent.
"The prime minister just wants to discuss chess skills with you, don't worry, I heard that he is an elegant person and kind to others, so there should be nothing wrong."
"Hmm." Tang Qi nodded, not panicked, but still a little nervous.
In this way, under Shen Ning's expectant gaze, and Tang Qi's nervous mood, Tang Qi came to visit.
When Tang Qi saw the person who wanted to see him, the original nervousness immediately turned into surprise.
"Second shopkeeper, you, how do you ......"
"Little Qizi, what's wrong, I'm so excited to see your shopkeeper?" Shen Ning smiled and looked at the person standing opposite, this kid has really changed a lot.
In fact, according to the previous situation, Shen Ning should have given the other party a hug first, and then rubbed it, but he finally gave up.
Not to mention that it will not affect the impact of some things, even if Tang Yanxiu only knows, he is choked enough, it must be very sour.
"No, how can the second shopkeeper be in the Prime Minister's Mansion? What about the big shopkeeper? Tang Qi asked, and Shen Ning should have been pregnant when he left, after so long, the child should have been born, it must be very cute, Tang Qi suddenly thought at this time, the current prime minister seems to be surnamed Tang.
Won't it ......
"Your big shopkeeper returned to the capital to be the prime minister, so I accompanied him." Shen Ning asked Tang Qi to sit down, and the servants had already sent tea, and when he heard Shen Ning's words, Tang Qi was speechless.
His second shopkeeper is really the same as before, he hasn't changed at all, and looking at his ruddy face and full of spirit, Tang Qi can be sure that he is doing well in the capital.
"The second shopkeeper is doing well." Tang Qi sighed, but by that person's side, he was also doing well.
"Don't say it, what's good, you don't know, those two little guys are very naughty." Shen Ning couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of the good things that the little guy did in Baozi, he was really a bear child.
Two, two?
Tang Qi was stunned again, and it took a while to react, the second shopkeeper, should have given birth to two?
is worthy of being a big shopkeeper, worthy of being a prime minister, it's really amazing.
The two chatted for a while, and Tang Yanxiu came over, he also heard about this young man in the chess industry who is famous today, but he didn't expect it to be Tang Qi, and when Shen Ning told him that Tang Qigongzi turned out to be this Tang Qi, he was also surprised for a long time.
But it also shows that this young man is indeed capable.
And when Tang Qi saw Tang Yanxiu, he began to get nervous.
The Prime Minister, the Prime Minister above 10,000 people under one person, is now in front of him, although he does know Tang Yanxiu, but his identity is completely different.
"Don't be nervous, I just heard that the famous Tang Qigongzi came to the mansion recently, so I came to take a look." The words with a smile made Tang Qi's face red, what Tang Qigongzi, it was just someone else's nonsense.
"The prime minister still calls me Tang Qi, those titles are what they talk nonsense......"
"Actually, the title of Tang Qigongzi is quite good." Shen Ning glanced at him, and sure enough, people relied on clothes, and as soon as he dressed up like this, he instantly became a lot more handsome, "Look at Xiao Qizi's current appearance, like a son." ”
Tang Qi was blushing like a shrimp by the two of you, and in the end, Shen Ning was merciful and let him go, and asked him some things about the restaurant, as well as his own situation, seeing that the time was not early, he simply let him stay and eat.
"If you don't have anything to do, stay for a few days in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I'll have someone tell him there."
Tang Qi was still a little hesitant, but when he heard this, he still nodded, just stay for a few days, it shouldn't matter.
Tang Qi lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at this time, some new messages about him went out, you see, Tang Qi is also surnamed Tang, and their Prime Minister is also surnamed Tang, there must be something related to these two people, maybe they are relatives!
If it was really a relative, then it would not be surprising that Tang Qi could get the first place in this chess meeting. After all, Cheng's chess skills are quite beginner, but they are not bad.
And a few people who originally wanted to fight Tang Qi's idea also put out this thought for the time being, after all, Tang Yanxiu did not object, in case it was true and offended the prime minister, they would have no place to cry.
Tang Yanxiu naturally heard this rumor, he didn't speak, but Shen Ning was irritable, Xiao Qizi is from his family, or his younger brother, what's wrong? Have an opinion?
When Shen Ning's words came out, many people were silent, and so did Zhai Shanchang, he didn't expect that the two people who opened a restaurant in a small place would become prime ministers in one day, and now, with their care, Tang Qi should be able to go to the next level.
He sighed, feeling a little regretful and sad in his heart, and in the end, he just hid his thoughts under the idea of hoping that the other party would have a good future.
Soon after, the emperor list came down, everything was a foregone conclusion, along with the red emperor list, recorded in the hearts of all students, and the champion cake in a restaurant.
It's not that this cake is a delicacies, but during the exam, many people eat this thing, and it is more of a souvenir than the taste, especially those who have been admitted, and it has become the publicity sign of Shenning Restaurant.
Hearing this news, Shen Ning nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Tang Qi on the side, and had another idea.
"I remember that I wanted to have a chess club in the restaurant, but it didn't work out, so how about opening one now? There are not many people in the capital who know chess. "As for how to attract those people over, isn't there still a Tang Qi Gongzi?
Shen Ning thought about the feasibility for a while, and then he got several sets of chess out, handed them to the shopkeeper Xu, and talked to him like this and that for a while, the two discussed, and the shopkeeper Xu seemed to have discovered a new continent, looking at the chess in his hand, his eyes were shining.
As soon as he returned to the restaurant, Xu Feng began to prepare, and Shen Ning also told him that they also had the biggest killer Tang Qi, Xu Feng was even more confident, thinking that he would definitely be able to do a good job and make the restaurant make a lot of money again.
Tang Qi knew Shen Ning's thoughts, naturally he didn't have any objections, he readily agreed, he could help the shopkeeper, it was too late for him to be happy, not to mention, this matter was only good for him, he wouldn't understand the good and bad.
So, under the planning of a group of people, an alternative competition will appear, Xu Feng went back and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided not only to compete in chess, but to determine a competition method for the four subjects of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the winner can not only get a membership card, but also get the right to directly participate in next year's conference. In short, all kinds of benefits make people tempted at a glance. Especially when I learned that Tang Qigongzi was also invited, many people were tempted.
Following Shen Ning to learn a lot of modern restaurant management publicity, Xu Feng knew how to arouse people's interest, so before the competition was held, the scene of signing up was hot enough.
I believe that there will definitely be a good harvest.
~~~~~~~~ Chapter 74 Attacked
Soon, the chess club began to be held, and for convenience, Shen Ning has been going to the restaurant more in recent days.
And today, as soon as Shen Ning entered the restaurant, he was stopped by the shopkeeper Xu.
"Shopkeeper, Lord Jing wants to see you."
"King Jing, does he know I'm coming?" Shen Ning was holding the child, and another was held by another person assigned to him by Tang Yanxiu, today Tang Yanxiu was going to accompany the emperor to the temple to pray for blessings, Shen Ning was not worried that the two children were at home, so they were all brought over, and Tang Qi went back to find his Zhai Shanchang.
King Jing didn't go to pray for blessings?
Shen Ning was a little puzzled, but the people named him, and it was not early or late when he just arrived, after thinking for a while, he still handed over the child in his hand to the caretaker and walked to the box upstairs.
The box was quiet, Shen Ning didn't see anyone else when he pushed the door in, only King Jing sat alone at the table, there was a pot of tea and two cups on the table, one of the cups was steaming, and King Jing was holding his chin with one hand, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Here, with a view of an entire street, it's no wonder he knows he's coming.
"Participate in King Jing." Shen Ning saluted with the accompanying subordinates, but King Jing didn't care at all about the tall man who was following him, and the corners of his mouth hooked and asked him to sit down opposite.
Shen Ning sat opposite him as he said, and King Jing set up the teacup and poured him a cup of tea.
"Thank you."
The two sat quietly, Shen Ning held the teacup, raised his eyes slightly to look at the person sitting opposite, and found that this person seemed to be different from the first time they met.
"You're not afraid of me?" Jingwang Yuan Ruoping looked at Shen Ning and looked at him with a big prick and felt that this person was a little special.
is obviously just an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary, but sometimes he doesn't look like a countryman when he does things and says them.
This is also the reason why Tang Yanxiu fell in love with him?
King Jing's words made Shen Ning stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
It should be said that your Yushu is in the wind, and Xiaosheng has life-saving things, so I am not afraid of you.
Shen Ning felt that he would probably burp as soon as he said it.
"The prince is handsome and martial, and he is not an unreasonable person, so why should he be afraid."
Wear thousands of clothes, don't wear sycophants without knowing the real intentions of the other party, or don't offend the other party.
"Huh." King Jing chuckled twice and stopped talking, and Shen Ning sat there without anything to say.
Tang Yanxiu told him that King Jing is a very smart person, the many sons of the first emperor, except for Yuan Ruoming, who has ascended the throne as the emperor, the others are all dead and degraded, and those who can live well until now, and still have the ability to usurp the throne, will definitely not be simple, the more Shen Ning thinks about it, and then looks at the other party, the more he feels that this person is difficult to figure out.
So is he going or going or walking?
Just when Shen Ning was thinking about whether to find an excuse to leave, King Jing spoke again.
"This king and Tang Cheng used to be friends."
Well? Shen Ning concentrated, between him and Tang Yanxiu, there was still a story?
"At that time, I was just a prince, and he was just a scholar."
At that time, both of them were still simple teenagers, and when they met, they both appreciated each other because of each other's conversation and talent, and they could, once they changed, because of their power and status, the two stood on opposite sides.
So, tell him what he wants to do?
Shen Ning listened to what the other party said and didn't understand his intentions.
"If I tell you now that you can't continue to stay in the capital, you must give up your current status and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise you will die, what will you choose?"
What is the problem?
The corners of Shen Ning's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt more and more that today's situation was very strange, and the big man standing behind Shen Ning had already become seriously vigilant, afraid that King Jing would suddenly make something out of his brain.
"The prince laughed." Shen Ning didn't intend to answer this question, first of all, he didn't get together with Tang Yanxiu for his current status, and secondly, if he really wanted to choose between wealth and life, he would definitely choose his life, he had already died once, and he didn't want to die again.
"What if the king doesn't say it's a joke?" King Jing leaned lazily on the chair, but his eyes were extremely sharp, Shen Ning chuckled in his heart, caught off guard, frightened by that look, and when he came back to his senses, he was a little angry.
"Whether you are in the capital or not, it has nothing to do with the prince, I hope the prince will forgive me, there is still something in the house, take the first step in the next and say goodbye."
As he spoke, Shen Ning got up and left, he just didn't understand it anymore, and he could see that the other party was targeting him, and he also felt the hostility, which was simply inexplicable.
In order to prevent himself from getting angry on the spot, Shen Ning chose to leave first, and now Tang Yanxiu is still the prime minister, even if the other party is the prince, he has to give him some face, and these things are still left to Tang Yanxiu to solve.
Shen Ning left, but King Jing sat in his seat and did not move.
Watching Shen Ning walk down the stairs and go outside, the subordinate standing outside pushed open the door and walked in.
"Lord Wang, Prime Minister Zhengjun has left."
"Are you all ready?" At this time, the prince and the ruthless King Jing were like two people, he took a sip of the tea on the table, and it seemed a little cold.
"It's all ready, lord."
"Let's do it, it's strange, they shouldn't have come to the capital."
Here, Shen Ning took two little dolls back to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a carriage, and over there, two rows of heavily armed guards protected several gorgeous carriages, slowly praying to the temple outside the city.
In one of the most ornate carriages, the emperor and the prime minister, two important figures, were leisurely playing chess.
"Prime Minister, you say, will my good imperial brother miss today's good opportunity?"
"Your Majesty, you'll find out in a moment."
The two put a few more chess pieces, and the emperor took the chess pieces in his hand, looked at the chessboard, and couldn't help but sigh:
"It is worthy of being the first talent at the beginning, this chess skill is really good, I'm afraid I will admit defeat."
Before the emperor could finish his words, the entire carriage shook violently, and all the chess pieces on the entire chessboard were instantly sprinkled on the ground.
"Tang Aiqing, it seems that you don't want me to lose!"
"Your Majesty."
Tang Yanxiu said a word without being salty, but the emperor didn't care, he laughed, listening to the sound of soldiers outside, the two of them were even more indifferent, everything was under control.
After a while, the voice stopped, and the captain of the escort team and the forbidden army were all outside to report the situation to the emperor.
"Report to the emperor, all the thieves have been cleaned up, and all twelve people have been killed."
"Only a twelve?" The emperor frowned, how could it be.
"Yes, the search has been completed within a radius of several miles, and all the thieves have been killed."
After Tang Yanxiu heard what he said, he had a bad premonition in his heart, such a small fight, did he plan to wait until he returned to the palace to start?
"Leave a few people here, and the rest keep going."
The group continued on their way, but they had not been able to walk out long before they were interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves.
"Newspaper—"
Tang Yanxiu pushed the car window open, this was the spy he left in the capital.
"What?"
"Report to the emperor, Prime Minister, Prime Minister Zhengjun's carriage has been attacked, and Zhengjun's life and death are currently unknown!"
"What!" Tang Yanxiu's expression instantly became gloomy, and his hand grabbed the edge of the car window, and even the emperor's face changed.
King Jing's purpose turned out to be Shen Ning? 166 Reading Network
