This matter is a happy event for Old Man Xiao, but not for Lu Ding.

The smile on Tang Ning's face retracted a little, and he asked, "Why is Lord Lu here?" ”

Old man Xiao smiled and said: "After Jue'er leaves, there is only one old man left in the Xiao family, and my in-laws often come here to accompany me, an old man------ what is the happy event that General Tang just said?" ”

Tang Ning coughed lightly and said: "I just met Your Majesty, this time the grassland can be calmed, Xiao Jue is indispensable, and when he comes back, he will be promoted to General Zuo Xiaowei." ”

"He's a fart." Old man Xiao didn't give Xiao Jue any face, and said: "If it weren't for you, he would have died on the grassland, and when it came to this, the old man hadn't thanked General Tang properly......

"Old man politely...... Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." ”

Old Master Xiao was surprised: "General Tang doesn't sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving?" ”

"No, no, no......" Tang Ning waved his hand, turned around and walked back without hesitation, this good news, let's wait until Lu Ding is not there to tell Old Master Xiao.

He had barely taken two steps when he heard footsteps coming from ahead.

Tang Ning raised his head and saw Emperor Chen and Wei Jian walking towards him.

Old Master Xiao and Lu Ding had already stepped forward, bowed down and said, "See Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy." Emperor Chen waved his hand and said, "It seems that I am still a step too late, Tang Ning has already told you about the Xiao family's future, right?" ”

Old Master Xiao was stunned and asked, "Yes, what's the future?" ”

"Didn't she tell you that Lu Shangshu's daughter had something to do?" Emperor Chen glanced at him and looked at Tang Ning suspiciously.

Tang Ning sighed, arched his hand to Old Man Xiao, and said, "When I came back, Lu Ya was already two months pregnant, and the Xiao family had a queen, congratulations to Old Master Xiao......"

He turned his head, looked at Lu Ding, who was pale, and said, "Congratulations to Lu Shangshu......"

"Congratulations!" Lu Ding was already stunned by this sudden news, and regardless of Emperor Chen's presence, he scolded: "Two little beasts, insulting the door style, insulting the door style!" ”

Old Master Xiao, who was on the rise, looked at him and frowned, "Who is the little beast to scold?" ”

Lu Ding said angrily: "Those two little beasts ......"

"You still have the face to say that other people are little brutes!" Old Master Xiao glanced at him and said disdainfully: "You got married in October that year, Ya'er was born in December, everyone else was pregnant in October, is it only two months for your Lu family?" ”

"My fucking ......"

"Who are you scolding?"

"I didn't scold you!"

……

When Old Master Xiao and Lu Ding quarreled, Tang Ning sneaked out of the Xiao Mansion, and let them quarrel about the affairs of their Xiao family and the Lu family.

After the quarrel, it is still the family of two parents, and they will never turn against each other because of this happy event.

However, I didn't expect Lu Ding to look like a dog, and it was not a fuel-efficient lamp back then, some families with strict door style, unmarried pregnancy will be severely punished, and it is likely to cause death, Jiangmen naturally won't care about these, Xiao Jue, as a son-in-law, does things quite like his father-in-law......

When Tang Ning returned home, he unexpectedly saw Tang Yaoyao interrogating Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou stood in the courtyard, lowered his head, and said, "My subordinates have seen with their own eyes, the general is clean and self-conscious on the grassland, and he has definitely not done anything to be sorry for his wife." ”

Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked, "Didn't anything happen between him and the four princesses of the grassland?" ”

Chen Zhou shook his head and said, "Absolutely not." ”

Tang Yaoyao got the answer he wanted, and left satisfied, Tang Ning walked in from outside the door, Chen Zhou looked at him, and immediately bowed down and said, "My lord......"

Tang Ning glanced at him with satisfaction and said: "When Xiao Jue comes back this time, he will be promoted to general from Zhonglang General, who do you think can be qualified for the position of Zhonglang General?" ”

Chen Zhou said: "There are many senior colleagues in the army......"

Tang Ning patted him on the shoulder and said: "Seniority can't represent anything, ability is more important than seniority, your performance is very good this time, when the time comes, I will mention a few words to Your Majesty." ”

Chen Zhou showed a look of gratitude, and immediately said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

His background is ordinary, and it is already rare to be able to sit in the position of Lang General at this age, and Zhong Lang General can't even think about it......

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, it's all your hard work." ”

Talents should be treated like talents, and talents like Chen Zhou are indeed wronged when they are only a mere general.

Even Xiao Jue can be a general, Chen Zhou is busy these days, how can he be enough to be a lieutenant general.

After Chen Zhou left, Tang Ning sat alone in the pavilion in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was a little deserted.

After he came back, he learned that Xiaoxiao was taken out by the old beggar to practice, and he had been gone for two months, a month ago, Tang Shui secretly took his mother to Jiangnan, and Su Mei was now preparing to compete for the saint in Qiandi, and the whole family felt a lot empty.

In the past two days since he went home, Tang Ning did not see Zhao Man.

The Queen Mother was lonely, and she spent more time in the palace these days.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and Tang Ning misses her coquettishly leaning on his arms.

Palace.

Zhao Man took the arm of the Queen Mother, walked in the imperial garden, and when he was tired, he came to a pavilion to rest.

The Queen Mother sat down slowly and asked casually, "I heard that the north won the battle?" ”

Speaking of the north, Zhao Man showed a happy look on his face and said: "Yes, the grassland has changed to a new khan, and he will not fight with us in the future......"

The Queen Mother remembered something and asked, "I heard that their Khan is a girl?" ”

Zhao Man nodded and said, "When I was in Chu State, I saw her, and she gave me a whip." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The matter of the grassland is over, and the soldiers should come back, right?" ”

"It's already on the way...... Zhao Man said with a look of anticipation on his face: "I can arrive in Beijing in half a month at the latest......"

"Then it's time for Downing to come back, right?" The Queen Mother seemed to say something casually, and said with a smile: "He has made such a great contribution to the country at a young age, I don't know how your father will reward him this time?" ”

"Hmph, reward him, I can't wait to beat him a few boards, let him have a long memory!" Before Zhao Man could speak, a voice came from the front.

The Queen Mother looked at Emperor Chen who came over and said in surprise: "Did he make Your Majesty angry?" This shouldn't be, he just pacified Jiangnan and settled the northwest ......"

"That's the Queen Mother, you don't know what he did!" Emperor Chen shook his head and said a little depressedly: "He has been back to Beijing for two days, and he didn't come to report to me, but accompanied his wife to fly a kite......

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Young man, I can't stand the pain of separation, this is normal, he is a person with great talent, Your Majesty must be tolerant......"

"Why can't stand the pain of separation, he did it on purpose." Emperor Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth and said: "Don't look at his young age, but his heart and eyes are no less than those old foxes in the court, he is worried about the high merits and shocking the master, and today he specially pleaded with me, asking for merit to be offset......"

Before Emperor Chen finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Man, who had been fidgeting since just now, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Man'er, do you have prickly heat under your buttocks?" ”
