Chapter 348: Ulterior Motives
The woman stopped in front of Tang Ning, who looked at her and asked, "Girl, is there something?" ”
She looked at Tang Ning, pointed in the direction she came, and asked, "Tofu flower, the secret recipe, you bought it?" ”
Tang Ning nodded and asked, "You want to buy it too?" ”
The woman said, "It's delicious, I'll buy it too." ”
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Why don't you go and buy it from that girl?" ”
After all, this is someone else's secret recipe, although he bought it, but without the woman's consent, he is not good at giving it to others.
The woman in front of her said: "She said that she sold it to you, it is yours, let me find you to buy it." ”
She took out a few copper coins from her arms, stretched out her hand, and said, "Is it enough?" ”
Since the proprietress had agreed, Tang Ning naturally didn't care, and he didn't lack these copper coins, so he handed her the secret recipe and said, "You can take it and copy a copy." ”
Tang Ning found a teahouse, gave the guy two pennies, and borrowed paper and pen from him.
Looking at the woman with one hand clenched into a fist, holding the brush in her hand, and transcribing the secret recipe stroke by stroke, although she seemed to be very attentive, the words written were crooked, and even the three-year-old daughter of the old Zheng family was not as good as what was written.
Even if it's ugly, it's still very slow, Tang Ning couldn't help it, snatched the pen from her hand, and quickly helped her transcribe the secret recipe.
The woman took the piece of paper, looked at him, and said, "Your handwriting is beautiful." ”
Tang Ning put away his secret recipe, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving, I'm destined to see you again." ”
"Wait a minute." The woman stopped him, pointed to the paper, and asked, "What is this?" ”
Tang Ning looked at it and said, "Soybeans." ”
"Soybeans?" The woman looked at her and wondered, "What is it?" ”
"You don't know what soybeans are?"
The woman shook her head.
Tang Ning was a little suspicious, which ravine did this girl run out of, and she didn't even know what soybeans were, so what was the use of asking for the secret recipe for tofu flowers......
Moreover, where there are not even soybeans, how biased should it be?
Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What do people eat in your hometown?" ”
The woman thought for a moment and said, "Meat, beef, mutton, and looted grain." ”
"Looted food?" Tang Ning was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you want to rob it?" ”
"Don't rob others, others rob." The woman's eyes were still fixed on the secret recipe, and she said, "If you take the food, you will starve to death." ”
Regardless of what kind of uncivilized nation this girl is, her Chinese sentences and expressions are really a headache for Tang Ning to listen to, he looked at her and asked, "Who did the girl learn Chinese from?" ”
"Master, it's Han." The woman pointed to another word on the paper and asked, "What is this?" ”
"Octagonal."
"Octagonal, what's it?"
Tang Ning rubbed his eyebrows, a good girl, how can she sound like a Japanese devil when she speaks.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Did the girl's master teach you not to talk like that?" ”
The woman on the other side looked at him and asked, "So, how do you say that?" ”
"If you want to speak good Chinese, you must first understand the composition of a sentence, and the simplest is the subject-verb-object ......."
Take the sentence "You like tofu flowers" as an example, the subject is you, the predicate is like, and the object is tofu flowers, and there is no need to pause in the middle......"
"In addition to the subject-verb-object, there is also a definite complement, there is a song that you will not be wrong if you remember it......"
……
An hour later, at the door of the teahouse, the woman waved her hand to Tang Ning and said, "Next time you come to my hometown, I will invite you to drink mare's milk wine!" ”
Watching her leave with her pigtails, Tang Ning stood at the door of the teahouse, only to feel a dry mouth.
He felt that he was really idle, and spent an hour teaching her grammar, just because he couldn't get used to her devilish Chinese.
Sure enough, he is still an angry young man in his bones.
However, in this hour, her progress has also been remarkable, at least not like jumping out word by word like before, and even learning to omit sentences, which also made Tang Ning feel a little comforted.
He looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set, and it was time to go back to the station.
In another dilapidated inn, the woman paced in the room and muttered in a low voice: "The subject-verb-object, the definite form is complemented, and the main trunk branches and leaves are clearly distinguished." The predicate must precede the guest of honor, and the predicate must be supplemented after the predicate......"
The door to the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged woman walked in.
She walked forward quickly and asked, "Master is back, how is it, have you found any news?" ”
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "The post station is surrounded by guards, and you can't get close to it within a hundred feet, so it seems that you can only wait until later." ”
The woman clenched her fists and said, "No matter what, we can't let them succeed, we must destroy the marriage between Chen and Chu, and we can't let them go to the grassland to rob our things!" ”
The middle-aged woman nodded, and then as if she remembered something, she turned her head to look at her, and said in surprise: "Yan'er, how ...... you speak?"
"My Chinese is much better than before, and I can still say tongue twisters!" The woman said happily: "The phoenix is painted on the pink wall, and the phoenix is painted on the pink wall." Red Phoenix, Pink Phoenix, Red Pink Phoenix Flower Phoenix ......"
The middle-aged woman looked at her and asked, "Who taught you?" ”
"I met a good guy today, he taught me." The young woman said, "It turns out that there are good people in the Han people, and he also taught me how to speak Chinese, and I have learned a lot today." ”
The middle-aged woman frowned and said, "What the hell is going on, you tell me honestly." ”
The young woman recounted what had happened today before saying, "He also sent me a secret recipe, and I don't think he's a bad person." ”
The middle-aged woman looked at her and said seriously: "People's hearts are unpredictable, even if they get along day and night, they can't see through people's hearts, he met you for the first time, he was so enthusiastic, maybe he had no other intentions, you have to keep an ......eye on people in the future."
The woman didn't care, and muttered, "What other intentions can he have, he saved us today......"
"Save you?" The middle-aged woman frowned and asked, "What trouble did you guys have?" ”
The young woman rolled her eyes and said, "Master, I also learned a tongue twister today, do you want to listen to ......, Shimuro poet Shi, lover of lions, swear to eat ten lions, and the clan is always suitable for ten or ten ......."
……
said that he stayed in Yunzhou for three days, but in fact he only stayed for two days, and on the morning of the third day, Lu Teng and He Rui came over to discuss the departure.
This is because although the two sick envoys have improved, they are still very weak, and they cannot go on the road without ten days and a half months of recuperation, and the whole team cannot wait for them for ten days and a half months, so they can only stay here first.
In addition to He Rui, there are six people in the accompanying mission, all of whom are Duanwang's chess pieces, and now, Tang Ning's small book has been marked with four "×", counting He Rui, Duanwang has three people, but the journey is not more than half, the envoy has lost nearly half, if he loses one more, he, as the chief official, will not be able to explain to Emperor Chen when he goes back.
The other two are okay, this He Rui is really an eyesore along the way, when he arrives in Chu State, he will definitely find a way to make trouble for him, and when he arrives in Chu State, it is better to find an opportunity to arrange him.
Four of the six envoys went, He Rui was extremely depressed in his heart, and suddenly felt a sight, looked up, and saw Tang Ning looking at him, with a thoughtful look on his face, this gaze made him feel cold in his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Teng spread out a huge map, pointed to a line on it, and said: "There is more than one road from here to Chu State, but in the end it will pass through Fengzhou, which is the northernmost state capital of Chen State. ”
He pointed to one of the routes and said: "This route is the safest, take this road, it will take about half a month to reach Fengzhou, what do the two adults think?" ”
Tang Ning's gaze moved away from He Rui's body, and he nodded: "Commander Lu thinks it's okay, choose that one over there." ”
He Rui didn't have any objections, and after nodding, he saw Tang Ning's gaze looking over again, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Tang, why do you keep looking at this official?" ”
Tang Ning glanced at him and said, "Take a look and there will be no less meat, stingy ......"
