"Insider?" Downing sat up from the grass and said, "Don't be so naughty. ”

"How?" Su Mei stood up, walked in front of him, made eye contact with him, and asked, "Do you think I'm not worthy of you?" ”

"Is there a man in this world who is not worthy of the first beauty of Jingshi?" Tang Ning took a step back and said, "But don't forget, we are sisters and brothers......"

"."

Su Mei turned around, and when she walked out of the courtyard, she turned around and said, "Since you have been so graciously invited, then I will reluctantly go......

In fact, many women have such a good face, what they want to do, they always have to prevaricate, then invite, and then prevaricate, after two or three prevarications, they barely make a look that I promised you to give you face, Tang Goblin has always been like this.

Out of the natural residence, Tang Ning walked down the street, and saw a line of carriages and horses coming from a distance, the pattern on the carriage looked somewhat familiar, and the next moment he remembered where the pattern came from.

This is the convoy of the envoys of the state of Chu.

He almost subconsciously stopped the convoy, and in the convoy, there were immediately guards who vigilantly pulled out their weapons and said loudly: "Who is in front and why is it in the way?" ”

"Edited by the Hanlin Academy." Tang Ning glanced at a Chu State official riding on a horse and said, "You are the envoys of the Chu State?" ”

Hearing that the person blocking the road was an official of Chen Guo, the man's face immediately improved a lot, and he said, "This adult is blocking the way, I don't know what's the matter?" ”

Tang Ning looked at the person on the horse and said, "If it is not an emergency military situation, you need to dismount when entering the city, although you are envoys, you should also abide by the rules of the Chen State." ”

When the envoy heard this, he immediately turned over and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I don't know the rules when I enter Beijing for the first time, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, just pay attention next time." Tang Ning waved his hand casually and asked, "This official has some friendship with Lord Xiao Li of your Chu State, I don't know if he has come to this mission?" ”

The official thought for a while, shook his head and said, "This time the envoy did not have a colleague surnamed Li. ”

Even if he knew in his heart that with Li Tianlan's identity, he should not have sent two envoys in a row, but when he heard the envoys of Chu State confirm it in person, he was still a little melancholy in his heart.

After saying goodbye to the envoys of Chu, he went home directly.

He didn't plan to be busy with anything a few years ago, the books in the bookstore had not been sold in the past two days, but the wine was selling very well.

The sake they brew has entered the market of Jingshi and occupies a huge market share, and it has always been in short supply.

During this period, King Kang sent invitations to invite him to the banquet several times, but Tang Ning went once, and then declined politely.

It is not uncommon for King Kang to hold banquets every day, now King Kang is undoubtedly at the peak of his life, King Duan has passed through the household department, and he has been half cold, King Huai has never had a sense of existence, plus His Majesty rewarded him twice intentionally or unintentionally, including King Kang himself, many people in the court believe that half of King Kang's foot has entered the East Palace.

Countless people in the court began to show favor to King Kang, and the grass on both sides of the wall gradually began to fall towards him, and the family that was originally tied to King Kang in Jingzhong straightened their waists, and even got a little carried away, resulting in the result that within half a month, the Ping'an County Ya dealt with three brawls between the children of the powerful in Beijing.

Fortunately, my father-in-law has the token given by the emperor, and he is not afraid of the pressure of those families, but because the New Year is approaching, the flow of people in Beijing has increased dramatically, and the pressure to maintain law and order every day is not small.

However, even if he was busy, he still came early on Chinese New Year's Eve.

The family is particularly lively today, not to mention their family, father-in-law, mother-in-law, third uncle and three aunts, as well as Tang Fairy and Tang Caishen, who are customary to live together every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year there is one more Su Mei who barely came over.

Of course, there are also old beggars who can eat and drink for free by virtue of their status as little masters.

Tonight, all the maids in the house have been given a holiday by Tang Ning, and they can go out and walk around by themselves, and the inner house is full of their own families.

Xiaoyi and they were busy preparing the dinner for the evening, Tang Ning and Qing'er were sitting in the pavilion making dumplings, and Xiao Tao, who came with Su Mei, also wanted to participate, but was driven away by Tang Ning without hesitation.

She played with snakes and pinched snakes all day long, and the dumplings she packed, Tang Ning couldn't swallow them with peace of mind.

Xiao Tao was indignant about this, and stood behind them with her hands on her hips, and after a while, Su Mei washed her hands and walked over, saying, "I'll also help you with the bag." ”

Seeing her wrap a dumpling, Tang Ning took the stuffing bowl in front of him and said, "Why don't you stand aside and watch." ”

Su Mei looked at Xiao Tao and asked, "Xiao Tao, is my bag ugly?" ”

Xiao Tao was silent, bowing her head to play with her Xiaoqing.

After suffering a series of blows, Su Mei was reluctant to wrap up, and went to Tang Ning's bookstore to sleep, today was the only day she could sleep here.

This time, she slept directly until Tang Ning woke her up when she had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Two lives, this is probably the most lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner Tangning has ever had, I don't know if next year will be more lively than this year.

During the meal, Su Mei took the initiative to find Tang Yaoyao to fight for wine, although Tang Xiaoyao's amount of wine was not as good as Su Mei's, but she gave Su Mei the strongest wine brewed, and the degree she drank was much lower, and the result was that the two of them were both drunk and unconscious......

Tang Ning held a small hand and stood in the courtyard, when the fireworks were lit up in the direction of the palace, the time had officially changed from the twenty-fourth year of Chen Guoxingyuan to the early year of Dingyuan.

As early as a few months ago, Emperor Chen discussed with the minister and decided to change the era name.

This is the first time since Emperor Chen ascended the throne to modify the name of the year, the monarch and ministers generally believe that today's Chen State, the national strength has risen to a level, now the grassland situation has been determined, Chen State is also a vibrant, thriving, at this time to modify the year name, means that today's Chen State, has officially entered a new era.

Downing got up early the next morning to attend the court meeting held on the first day of each year.

In the first year of the Yuan reform, the court meeting was particularly important, and the Beijing officials above the sixth grade had to participate, although Tang Ning did not have to go to the court on weekdays, but today he could not be absent.

There are so many officials in Chen Guo, when the court meeting, officials from all over the country will rush to Beijing, so many people, there is no palace in the palace to stand down, and those below the sixth grade can basically only stand outside to blow the cold wind.

Fortunately, in a noble place like the Hanlin Academy, although the official position is not very high, and there is no real power, but the status is not low.

There were a large number of participants in the Great Dynasty Meeting, and it took a long time, and after two hours, it was still not over, and Tang Ning obviously noticed that several officials around him were already standing with pale faces.

And in this case, even if the two legs standing are unconscious, they have to hold on until the end of the court meeting, and the random movement is seen by the imperial history, and it is impossible to say that the hard-earned official hat will be lost.

"The envoys of Xuanchu State have come to see you!"

After a long period of devastation by the Tang goblin, standing for two hours is nothing to him, but he is a little sleepy, and he vaguely hears the envoys of the Chu State entering the main hall and talking loudly.

"Princess Pingyang is cautious, Roujia is qualified, and she is graceful, and I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to marry Princess Pingyang ......on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope that the two countries will always marry the good of Qin and Jin."

Tang Ning's eyes suddenly opened at a certain moment, and he didn't quite believe his ears, and looked at the envoy of the Chu State in the middle of the main hall.

The envoys of the State of Chu came to Beijing this time to ask for relatives......

Until the end of the court meeting and the officials retreated one after another, Tang Ning did not react.

He swore that he really just said it casually at that time, and it was definitely not intentional to poison the milk, now it's okay, Zhao Yu didn't marry the grassland and relatives, but for her, it seems that there is not much difference between marrying the grassland and marrying Chu Guo.

He was thinking about this in his heart, and when he was passing by a certain palace, someone suddenly grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him to the side.

Zhao Man looked at him with a smile, pinched the corner of his skirt and turned around, and asked proudly, "Do you think my new clothes look good?" ”
