Chapter 20: Wild Bees and Butterflies
In ancient times, Qixi Festival was originally a very lively festival, and in the first year that Tangning traveled over, he did not have the opportunity to see this kind of liveliness.
This rain began to fall on Qixi Festival and lasted for a day and a night, in addition to extinguishing Qing'er's desire to listen to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl's whispers, it also temporarily extinguished the heat for many days.
My father-in-law is naturally happy about this, the temperature has dropped, which means that no one will die of heat, and people will die every year in Yongan County.
This year is not as good as in previous years, a few days ago, because of the forced marriage, his relationship with Lingzhou Thorn History has dropped to the freezing point, and Lingzhou Thorn Shi has not made a move to embarrass him for so long, which is not in line with common sense.
Tang Ning learned from Tang Yaoyao about the history of Lingzhou's assassination, and it is said that he is a villain among villains......
He estimated that the other party had not moved for such a long time, and he should be waiting for the skill to cool down, and then he would hold back a big move.
One is the history of a state, the other is the order of a county, the situation is really a bit not optimistic, Tang Ning is actually secretly vigilant in his heart, but the situation is too passive, and he is weak, and it really can't make a big difference.
What he can do is to help his father-in-law, who is the county magistrate, keep an eye on it, so that he doesn't have anything to do and be taken advantage of.
Tang Ning was tidying up his clothes in the room, and Qing'er's head poked in from the outside and asked, "Uncle, are you okay?" ”
Tang Ning straightened his collar and said, "It's almost ready." ”
Tonight he was going out to a banquet with Zhongyi, which he had promised a few days ago.
Qing'er ran in from outside the door and said in surprise, "Uncle, why are you still wearing this dress?" ”
At noon, Zhong Yi took him a new piece of clothing, Tang Ning tinkered with it for a long time, the buttons of the clothes were straight and oblique, he didn't know how to wear it, so he simply gave up.
Tang Ning picked up the clothes on the bedside and asked, "How do you wear this?" ”
"Oops, my uncle is stupid!" Qing'er trotted over, picked up the dress, and said, "Qing'er help you, hurry up, otherwise Miss will be in a hurry!" ”
Tang Ning had no choice but to stretch out his hands and let her fiddle with them.
Qing'er helped him take off his clothes and asked, "Uncle, the princess I talked about last time was snatched away by the beast, what happened to her?" ”
She was talking about the adapted version of Beauty and the Beast that Downing told her last time.
Tang Ning said casually: "Later, later the beast became a prince of another country, became a relative to the princess, and lived a life without shame. ”
Qing'er helped her tie the button and asked, "What is a life without shame?" ”
"After getting married, there is no shame in life."
"Are the aunts and young ladies too?"
"It's not."
"Oh......" Qing'er nodded, and said, "Uncle, tell me another story......
Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Once upon a time, there was a county magistrate's daughter, she had a silly maid, and an aunt ......."
"And then?"
"This stupid girl is very stupid and confused, and she is always spanked for disobedience."
"And then?"
"That aunt goes to bed early and gets up early, and he doesn't get up hard in the morning."
……
After telling Qing'er's story, his clothes are also dressed.
Tang Ning stood in front of the mirror and looked at it, looking like a dog, but it was like that.
Speaking from the heart, his current appearance is slightly more handsome than in his previous life, but he looks a little thin and thin, he can't eat, sleep, sleep and eat in the future, he must consciously strengthen his exercise, and the next time he encounters danger, he can let Tang Xiaoyao stand behind with confidence.
Tang Ning walked out of the courtyard, looked at Tang Xiaoxiao who was standing next to Zhong Yi, and said in surprise: "You go too?" ”
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and said unconvinced: "Why can't I go if you can go?" ”
Yes, of course.
Tang Ning couldn't ask for it.
He knew who was going to this banquet.
He heard Zhong Yi say that the person who held this banquet was a family with a very high status in Lingzhou City.
To what extent does it have status......
This Lingzhou Fang family, within four generations, has produced a Taifu, a prime minister, and two third-grade officials, although the current Fang family has long since lost its former glory, but in the court, it is still very well-connected, not only that, a favorite concubine in the palace is the daughter of the Fang family.
The Fang family is in Lingzhou, and it is an existence that even the Lingzhou assassin cannot provoke.
The old lady of the Fang family likes to be lively, and this time the old lady of the Fang family invited not only the celebrities and nobles in Lingzhou City, but also a lot of talented people, among them, there are many favorite suitors.
Although Zhong Yi didn't say it explicitly, Tang Ning could guess that he went this time to help her resist those wild bees and butterflies.
Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, who knows how many suitors there are, with Tang Nuxia, Tang Ning's heart is much more steady.
What kind of wild bee wave butterfly can stop Tang Nuxia's kick?
In the carriage, Tang Yaoyao looked depressed: "My father is really, I have to go to this banquet, those women, any banquet has to make a few sour poems, what's the point of composing poems, have the ability to fight?" ”
Tang Ning could hear that Tang Yaoyao had a story.
Thinking of the scene where she was surrounded and forced to compose poems, Tang Ning wanted to laugh a little.
Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said angrily: "What are you laughing at!" ”
"It's nothing ......" Tang Ning shook his head and said: "I think what you said makes sense, you have the ability to fight, there is something that can't be solved by a fight, what's the use of doing those broken poems......"
Tang Yaoyao's embarrassed eyes turned into appreciation, and asked, "Do you think so too?" ”
Tang Ning nodded solemnly.
"Duplicity!" Tang Yaoyao glared at him and said: "You don't like to compose poems, you can still write so well, Xiaoyi said that she can't compare to your ......, one set on the surface, one set behind the back, you men, there is no good thing!" ”
That's a woman.
Tang Yaoyao was obviously in a bad mood, Tang Ning simply closed his eyes and rested, so that he didn't have to suffer any more unwarranted disasters.
He's thinking about something else these days.
Although Zhong Mingli used the power of the county government and did not find out his identity, it was impossible for such a big living person to jump out of the cracks in the stones.
He is here, and whether he has any friends, relatives, ......, these are all unknown to Tangning.
Although this has nothing to do with him, Tang Ning always feels uneasy about his conscience if he inherits such a big favor from others and doesn't do something for him.
The carriage slowly stopped, Tang Ning opened his eyes, Tang Yaoyao had already jumped out of the carriage and helped Zhong Yi down.
At this time, the sky was not completely dark, Tang Ning jumped out of the carriage and saw a mansion that was much more magnificent than the Zhong Mansion.
It is said that this is not the Fang family's ancestral house, but just a garden of the Fang family in Lingzhou City.
At the gate, figures walked in one after another.
Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao stepped forward and handed over the post.
After the subordinate checked the invitation, a smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Zhong, Miss Tang, Master Tang, please come into ......"
"In these years, can any messy thing be called a child?"
A cold snort came from the side, this voice with three points of laughter and seven points of disdain.
Zhong Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and Tang Yaoyao's face showed anger.
Tang Ning looked back and saw several young men walking this way.
The leader of the person, after glancing at Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao, stayed on him.
It's for itself.
Tang Ning looked at him, sighed, and said, "Why did Childe say this? ”
Zhong Yi was stunned at first, then covered his mouth, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Tang Xiaoxiao had been flustered for longer than her, and after reacting, he held his stomach and laughed loudly regardless of his manners.
She bent over, covered her stomach with one hand, and slapped Tang Ning's shoulder with the other, the muscles on Tang Ning's face twitched, a woman, in public, can't she pay attention to her image......
What's more, she has a lot of hands, and it really hurts to shoot!
