Chapter 137: The slave family has been waiting for you for a long time
Before leaving, his mother-in-law instructed him to write a letter to his family as soon as he arrived in Beijing and sent it back.
It's not difficult to write a letter, but it's a bit difficult to send a letter.
After all, this is not the afterlife, the carriage and horses here are very slow, the letters are far away, and there is something that is not a phone call, a WeChat can be solved.
Even if it is a post station that can only be borrowed by government communication, the speed is far less than that of SF Yuantong, and if it is an ordinary person to send a letter, it can basically only be piggybacked by fellow villagers.
Fortunately, the Tang family has a big business, and the business is all over Chenguo, Jingshi and Lingzhou, and there will be correspondence every once in a while, which can generally arrive in seven or eight days.
The Lantern Festival has passed, and the Jingshi has returned to its original appearance, although it is still much more prosperous than Lingzhou, but it is not as exaggerated as the two days of Shangyuan.
Originally, he planned to wait until after the Lantern Festival to visit Fangfu first, and then inform Li Tianlan of the news that he had arrived in Beijing.
But since Miss Li had found him first, he only needed to go to the Fang Mansion to say hello.
Thinking of Fang Mansion, Tang Ning thought of Fang Xiaopang.
I don't know how she is in Lingzhou, although he has only been away for half a month, her heart to lose weight is extremely firm, and she has never fallen behind in action, and obvious changes can occur in half a month.
Perhaps, when he returns to Lingzhou after the provincial test, he won't be able to recognize her.
After the Lantern Festival, order was restored in Beijing, and officials from various departments in the DPRK and China had to return to their respective positions and perform their duties.
Fang Mansion Tang Ning only knew Fang Hong alone, and deliberately chose to release the government in the afternoon, at this time, Fang Hong should be at home.
He took Peng Chen out together, and along the way, the old beggar was idle and bored, so he trained Peng Chen's martial arts, according to his increasing respect for the old beggar, he should have benefited a lot.
The old beggar occupied a table in the corner by himself, on which there were several appetizers, and he ate and drank while watching the girls' performances, squinting his eyes and his expression very pleasant.
When Tang Ning was about to go out, he turned around, looked at him and said: "These days, the old man eats and drinks you, you live with you, I really don't want to go to you, I will teach you a few tricks when I am free, you practice diligently, and live for two or three years, although it is still unlikely that you can beat your little friend, and you will not be bullied by her casually." β
Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Don't worry about not going, seniors, you just drink and eat and live here, and we ......will talk about this matter later, we will go out first." β
The old beggar is still principled in his work, although Tang Ning hopes that he will stay by his side and be a bodyguard who only cares about eating and drinking, and does not have to care about anything else, but if he can point him out and let him beat Tang Xiaoxiao in two years, he will not refuse.
After all, it wasn't a day or two since he wanted to beat Tang Fairy Xue Shame.
Most of the officials and magnates in the capital division live in the same area, and the mansion of the official department is the mansion of the servant of the ministry, so you can just ask someone to inquire.
This area, as far as the eye can see, is full of high-ranking families, and the Fang family's house is not conspicuous on this street.
Fang Hong's official residence is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, although the official rank is high, it is not the highest, but the influence of the Fang family in the Beijing Division is huge, even if it is the Ministry of Officials, it cannot be compared.
This is not only because the Fang family was once prominent in Beijing for a while, and when the old lady was still alive, protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the world, but until now, there are countless officials and magnates in Beijing who are friendly with the Fang family, but also because the concubine who is extremely favored by the son today is the daughter of the Fang family.
When they walked to the door of the Fang Mansion, a porter came up and said politely, "You two, what is the important matter of coming to the Fang Mansion?" β
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Is Fang Shilang in the mansion?" β
The porter looked at him and asked, "Is the son from Lingzhou coming to Beijing to take the exam?" β
Tangning nodded.
The porter smiled and said, "My lord hasn't returned to the house yet, but it's estimated that it's going to be soon, the two of you invite you to go to the house to have a cup of tea, and when my lord comes back, I'll report it." β
Tang Ning followed him into the Fang Mansion, and the man said as he walked: "These days, there are a lot of Lingzhou students who come to visit the mansion, you are late......
He took Tang Ning and the others to a side hall and said, "The two of you have a cup of tea here first, wait for a while, and my family will be back soon." β
"I'm tired." Tang Ning nodded and found a place to sit down.
There was some noise outside, it was the voice of a child, Tang Ning just took a sip of tea, and saw a rattan ball flying in from outside, and then, an eight or nine-year-old boy ran in from the outside, kicked the rattan ball out, and was about to run out, suddenly looked at Tang Ning, stunned, pointed at him, and said angrily: "It's you, why did you come to our house!" β
Tang Ning had some impressions of this young man.
He seems to be called Fang Xintong, Fang Hong's youngest son, the boy who bullied Fang Xiaopang at the gate of Fang's mansion at the beginning, and was finally beaten by her and cried.
When Fang Xintong saw Tang Ning, it was like seeing an enemy, and after screaming, he ran out angrily, and after a while, he ran in with a few figures.
When the enemy meets, he is very red-eyed. He looked at a young man beside him who was obviously two or three years older than him, pointed at Tang Ning, and said angrily: "Cousin, he was the one who instructed Fang Xinyue to beat us in the first place!" β
"You guys are so useless, you can't even beat the girls." The young man looked at them disdainfully, then stepped forward, looked up at Tang Ning, and said arrogantly, "You bullied my cousin?" β
This young man's height is not high, but his body size is stronger than Fang Xin's peers, of course, compared to Fang Xiaopang at the beginning, there is still a little bit of a gap.
Tang Ning had never bullied Fang Xintong, and he had never touched him.
He looked at the young man, shook his head, and said, "It's not me. β
The young man was stunned when he heard this, looked back at Fang Xintong, and whispered: "He said no, did you admit that you were wrong?" β
"That's him!" Fang Xintong pointed at Tang Ning and said, "If he hadn't said what 'Four Happiness Balls' and 'Assorted Pots' for Fang Xinyue to eat, Fang Xinyue wouldn't have beaten us!" β
The young man looked at Tang Ning, his throat twitched a few times, and asked, "What pot?" β
"When I heard those ten poems being passed on by others early this morning, I knew that you had come to Beijing." Fang Hong strode in from outside and said with a smile: "The Ministry of Officials has just opened today, and there are a little more things, so you have been waiting for a long time." β
Tang Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, I just came here for a while." β
When Fang Xintong saw Fang Hong coming in, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Dad." β
"Uncle." The boy spoke at the same time.
Fang Hong looked at them and asked, "What are you doing here?" β
Fang Xintong and several teenagers hugged the rattan ball and dispersed in a hurry, but the sturdy young man stayed.
"This is His Royal Highness King Run." Fang Hong pointed to the young man and introduced, "Concubine Shu has been unwell for the past few days, so she sent him to Fang's mansion. β
Tang Ning didn't expect this young man to be a prince, so he arched his hand casually and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Run." β
"Don't be polite...... the young man looked at him, behind his hands, and said, "Don't leave for a while, this king has something to ask you......"
With that, he turned around and swaggered out.
After the young man walked out, Fang Hongcai looked at Tang Ning and said with a smile: "I have long known that there is no difference between Lingzhou and Jingshi for you, just came to Jingshi, and there was such a big commotion......
Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Lord Fang has also heard about it?" β
Fang Hong smiled and said, "After the Lantern Festival, who doesn't know that there is a poetry madman in Jingshi? β
The title of poetry madman, no matter how it sounds, doesn't seem like a boast, Tang Ning smiled embarrassedly, pulled some homely things with Fang Hong, and after a few sips of tea, he was going to leave.
After all, he came to Fang Mansion today just out of politeness, and there weren't too many topics between him and Fang Hong. After a cup of tea, I feel like I don't have anything to say.
When he left the Fang Mansion, he didn't see that King Run again.
He went directly back to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and as soon as he stepped in, he noticed that countless lines of sight were looking at him in unison.
Tang Ning paused, looked at the shopkeeper Xu, and wondered, "What's wrong?" β
As soon as the words fell, a crispy voice sounded in my ears.
A figure in front of him turned around, looked at Tang Ning, and said softly: "Tang Gongzi, the slave family has been waiting for you for a long time." β
