Downing didn't mean anything else, he was telling the truth.

When it comes to women pretending to be men, Tang Yaoyao does have a natural advantage over Su Ruyi and even Qing'er, she only needs one set of clothes, and no other extra fabrics are needed.

The people who eat melons must have the consciousness and quality of the people who eat melons, and the psychological quality of him and Tang Xiaoyao needs to be improved.

Zhongfu, Chen Yuxian looked at the table full of food, looked at the empty seats on both sides, looked at Zhong Yi and asked, "What's wrong with Ning'er?" ”

"He said he wasn't hungry now." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "In a little while, I'll take some food to his room." ”

Chen Yuxian nodded and muttered, "What's the matter today, your father just finished handling a case, and he encountered something urgent, so he went out without saying a few words, and Ning'er didn't come over for dinner......

She looked at Tang Yaoyao who walked in from outside the door, and said with a smile: "It's just right to come, sit down and eat something together, there is your favorite boiled meat......"

Tang Yaoyao, who had just stepped in, covered his mouth, turned around and ran out quickly.

Chen Yuxian watched her back disappear and muttered, "One by one, what's going on......

In Lingzhou City, there is a post house.

"Lord Fang, Lord Song." Zhong Mingli, who came in a hurry, had just met Fang Hong and Song Qian, and Zhao Zhijie stepped in from the outside.

After a salute, Zhao Zhijie looked at Fang Hong and asked, "Two adults, have the envoys of the Chu State really arrived in Lingzhou?" ”

Fang Hong nodded and said, "We also just received news from Dong Tingshi. ”

Not long after, in Lingzhou City, local officials above the seventh grade gathered at the post house.

More than a dozen carriages came slowly from a distance, stopped at the door of the post house, and a figure got down from the carriage.

Dong Tingshi, as the head of the Lingzhou officials, walked out of the post station and said with a smile: "Dong Cunyi, the official Lingzhou Assassin Shi, the envoys of your country have come from afar, and they have missed the welcome, I hope the envoys will not be surprised......

A middle-aged man at the head smiled and said, "Lord Thorn Shi is polite. ”

Dong Tingshi looked at the back and introduced: "This is Lord Song on Jingdong Road, and this is Lord Fang of the Ministry of Officials......"

Dong Jianshi introduced the officials present one by one, and when he introduced Zhong Mingli, he hesitated for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and said: "This is Lord Zhong of Yongan County......

"Yong'an County?" The middle-aged man seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "When I entered the city, I heard that there seemed to be a murder case in Yong'an County, and I don't know ......if the case can be solved."

The faces of the officials present changed slightly, and the envoys of the Chu State had just arrived at the post house, not to mention anything else, but to mention this murder case, obviously to lose face to their Lingzhou officials.

The murder that just happened, is the case solved so quickly?

When Dong Tingshi heard this, he was stunned, then looked at Zhong Mingli and asked, "Lord Zhong, is there such a thing?" ”

"It is true." Zhong Mingli nodded, and said: "However, the culprit in this case has been arrested, so I won't bother with the envoys of your country." ”

The middle-aged man's face was different, he looked at Zhong Mingli twice, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhong is really quick to solve the case......

This is about the face of Lingzhou, the face of Chen Guo, Dong Tingshi knows the severity, smiled, and said: "That is, Lord Zhong is like a god in judging the case, in Lingzhou City, no one knows, no one knows......"

Zhong Mingli looked at him and said modestly: "Dong Tingshi has won the award." ”

This invisible confrontation initiated by the envoys of the Chu State was so easily resolved, Fang Hong stepped forward and said, "The envoys have come from afar, and it is not too late to enter the post house. ”

The envoys of the Chu State and their entourage walked into the post house, and the officials of Yiling Prefecture showed a smile on their faces, arched their hands to Zhong Mingli, and whispered: "Lord Zhong, there is you!" ”

Everyone gestured to Zhong Mingli, and then walked into the post house.

Zhong Mingli breathed a sigh of relief, his face showed a little smugness, Zhao Zhijie beside him looked at him, and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just that you have a good son-in-law, what are you proud of, and it's not your credit......"

Zhong Mingli looked at him and said lightly: "I have it, do you have it?" ”

……

I didn't have much appetite for most of the day, Tang Ning didn't recover until the afternoon, as a man, I still have to have psychological quality, and I can't be as weak as Tang Fairy.

At dinner, my father-in-law had not yet returned, which naturally caused my mother-in-law to be dissatisfied.

Listening to the arrester in the yamen, the envoys of the Chu State passed through Lingzhou, and the officials above the seventh grade in Lingzhou City went to the post house.

Tang Ning didn't know much about the international situation, and he knew very little about the Chu State.

He only knew that this country was to the west of Chen, bordering Chen, and the two countries had friendly relations and loved each other as friends for more than ten years.

Of course, friendship only means that there is no war between the two countries, more than ten years ago, the national strength of Chu was far inferior to that of Chen, and Chen paid tribute every year in order to seek national stability, and established the relationship between the two countries between the eldest brother and the younger brother.

Today's Chu State, the national strength is no longer the same, although it will still pay tribute to the Chen State every year, but the tribute is decreasing year by year, and there is a faint trend that the younger brother wants to be equal to the eldest brother in the past.

Of course, this is just a trend, at least on the bright side, Chen Guo is still the leading brother, and this time Chu sent envoys to pay tribute.

Tang Ning has no opinion on the international situation, he just thinks that it is not easy to be an official, he gets up early every day, he is busy with the front and night, and it is difficult to even sit with his family and have a good meal, and his salary is not very high, what is the picture?

This is just a small county order, and those officials in the yamen in the capital are busier when they want to take care of the affairs of a country?

I heard that the morning starts at five o'clock, and the courtiers have to get up at three o'clock, and he really can't get up so early.

Tang Ning was reading a book in the room, Zhong Mingli walked to the door, knocked on the door, and walked in.

He looked at Tang Ning and said: "Although you can't slack off in reading, but the state exam has passed, and you can rest for a few days, so you don't have to work so hard." ”

Tang Ning stood up and said, "If you have nothing to do, reading a book is considered a pastime." ”

Zhong Mingli paused for a moment and asked, "Have you seen Lord Fang and Lord Song today?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "I happened to meet it." ”

Today in the post house, Jingdong Road sentenced him in front of the envoys of Chu State and Lingzhou officials, praised him, and bluntly said that he taught a good son-in-law who was smart and clever, and many colleagues also praised ......, he Zhong Mingli has lived for most of his life, and he has never had such a long face.

On the way back, he thought in his heart, should he be better to this virtuous son-in-law in the future?

He took out a few silver tickets from his sleeve, handed them to Tang Ning, and said, "I heard that Miss Xiaoru wants to set up a shop in the city, and you should be able to use the money." ”

Tang Ning was taken aback, but he knew that his father-in-law's pocket money was very tightly watched, and these silver tickets added up, to say the least, there were hundreds of taels, could it be his private money?

If you let your mother-in-law know that he has hidden so much private money from unknown sources and unknown whereabouts, it won't be as simple as beating your back and pinching your shoulders......

Tang Ning hurriedly said: "No need, no need, the money from the store, I have ......"

Zhong Mingli put the silver tickets in his hand and said, "Take it." ”

"Ning'er, Buzhuang just sent new clothes, can you try to fit them or not......" Chen Yuxian walked in from outside the door with a piece of clothing, looked at Tang Ning and Zhong Mingli, and then looked at the silver tickets in their hands, and said suspiciously: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhong Mingli looked at her, stuffed the silver ticket into Tang Ning's hand, and said dissatisfied: "What are you doing with so many silver tickets, I can't use ......"

He turned to look at Chen Yuxian, shook his head, and sighed: "This kid is really not like words......

With that, he put his hands behind his back and walked out on his own.

Tang Ning looked at the silver ticket in his hand in a daze, Chen Yuxian walked over, frowned and said, "You have more places to use silver in the future, hurry up and put it away, what do you do for your father-in-law......"
