Chapter 258: Old Things

When Tang Ning and Fang Xiaoyue returned home, they found that their father-in-law and mother-in-law were also there.

"Xiaoyue, eat more, look at your ...... thin now" At the dinner table, Chen Yuxian looked at Fang Xiaoyue and said distressedly: "Why are your eyes swollen, are you being bullied in the palace, if someone bullies you, you tell Mr. and let Mr. punish them." ”

"No one bullied me." Fang Xiaoyue regained her cheerfulness, and after eating, she went to play in the yard with Xiaoxiao.

Chen Yuxian looked at Tang Ning again and asked, "Why did Ning'er come back so late today, is there a lot of things going on in the Hanlin Academy?" ”

"No, something is delayed." Tang Ning shook his head, suddenly looked at Zhong Mingli, and asked, "Has your father-in-law heard of Fang Zhe?" ”

"Fang Zhe!"

Tang Ning noticed that his father-in-law's hand holding the chopsticks was visibly shaking when he heard the name.

Chen Yuxian was surprised: "Is it that Fang Zhe from fourteen years ago?" ”

Tang Ning didn't expect that even his mother-in-law had heard Fang Zhe's name, and he also added "fourteen years ago" in front of him, he was even more curious at the moment, what happened to Fang Xiaopang's father.

Fourteen years ago, what old things could make the name Fang Zhe be remembered by his mother-in-law, who didn't pay much attention to court affairs.

Zhong Mingli pondered for a moment, and said: "Fang Zhe is the first top three champion since Chen Guokai's imperial examination, he is knowledgeable, from the state test to the provincial test, the first place, the first one is like you, all the answers are all right, in the poetry of the year, it is also the leader, not only that, he is also good at strategy, and he has not yet entered the scholar and the first, he has presented many practical strategies for the imperial court......"

"What, he's the ......" Tang Ning wanted to talk about beasts, but after thinking about it, he seemed to be suspected of scolding himself into it, so he immediately changed his words: "He is another top three?" ”

He can get the top three in the exam, one point depends on luck, nine points depends on hanging, and he can do this with his own strength, the word beast can no longer be described, it is simply a battle beast among beasts.

"Fang Zhe and your father-in-law are Jinshi in the same year." Chen Yuxian added.

Tang Ning suddenly realized, no wonder his father-in-law behaved so strangely when he heard his name.

Encountering such an all-round crushing opponent is a nightmare for all candidates of the same year.

Zhong Mingli nodded and said: "In that year's imperial examination, everyone only knew Fang Zhe, the top three, and the brilliance of the rest of the candidates was all covered by him alone, but now, among these people, some people have reached the third rank and fourth grade............ Fang Zhe should still be in the Hanlin Academy now, right?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "He is now a bachelor-in-waiting. ”

For the champions of the past years, the Hanlin Academy is just a springboard for them to enter the court, they will only serve as the Hanlin Writer, and then for as little as one year, as much as two years, they will enter the ministries and be in charge of the actual work.

Those who were promoted in the Hanlin Academy were people who had no future.

The top three champions have actually stayed in the Hanlin Academy for 14 years, which is an extremely incredible thing.

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Fang Shilang said that because of something back then, his temperament changed greatly......

Zhong Mingli nodded and said: "I don't know the specifics, it is said that Fang Zhe was in love with a girl back then, but the Fang family had already arranged a family affair for him, after Fang Zhe got married, the woman became depressed and became ill, and soon died of depression, since then Fang Zhe's temperament has changed greatly, he has no intention of doing things, and he is ...... every day."

Tang Ning walked out of the room and saw Fang Xiaoyue, who was practicing martial arts with Xiaoxiao in the courtyard, and sighed lightly in his heart.

The woman Fang Zhe once liked died depressed, needless to say, Fang Xiaoyue's mother was the woman Fang Zhe married according to the family arrangement, because of this reason, Fang Zhe has never had any friendship with their mother and daughter.

Tang Ning was deeply sympathetic to what happened to this Fang Bachelor, he was a victim of this feudal system, but at the same time, whether it was Fang Xiaoyue or the fourth lady of the Fang Mansion, he had an unshirkable responsibility.

It's a husband, a father's responsibility.

Because the beloved woman has been abandoning herself for 14 years, it also shows that he is a person who values love, but what he values is not the love for his wife and daughter.

Fang Xinyue slowly walked to his side and said, "Brother Tang Ning, don't beat Daddy anymore, Daddy is also very bitter in his heart." ”

Tang Ning stroked her hair and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything with him again." ”

On the first day of joining the Hanlin Academy, such a thing happened, it was not what Tang Ning wanted, he felt that in recent days, he had fought wits and courage with the Tang family, and he must have accumulated a lot of resentment and anger in his heart, which would make people become violent and needed to be vented as soon as possible.

He decided to go to Tang Yaoyao to practice, either beat her or be beaten by her, no matter which result it was, he could express the depression in his heart.

When he jumped over the wall to Tang Yaoyao's yard, only Xiu'er was in the yard.

Tang Ning patted the dust on his hands and asked, "Where is your young lady?" ”

Xiu'er was accustomed to his falling from the sky, and said, "Miss went out to talk about business." ”

Tang Ning knew that Tang Yaoyao had been busy these days, and she wanted to take back the business that should belong to them from the rich man Tang, and also expand their business in Jingshi.

She has great ambitions and is bound to surpass her father's industry and become the first richest woman in Chen Kingdom.

Tang Ning has always supported her decision, as long as she has a certain amount of dividends every month, she can toss the rest of the money.

The combination of the two Tang Dynasty is invincible in the world, and sooner or later the family property of the rich man of Tang will be handed over to her, and it is a matter of time before her money surpasses that of the rich man of Tang.

"You can't listen to your father once, the Tang family's business is handed over to you to take care of, isn't it better than tossing around blindly?"

"I didn't toss around, dad, don't forget, I've already earned a million taels of silver."

"Is that what you earned, that's what you gambled!"

"Oh Dad, anyway, you don't care, I have my own plans......"

……

Hearing the sound of Tang Yaoyao and Tang Rich Man talking outside the courtyard, and getting closer and closer, it was too late to go back over the wall, Tang Ning took three steps and made two steps, and flashed into the house.

Tang Xiaoxiao stepped into the courtyard and walked straight into the room, the rich man Tang followed, sat at the table, poured a cup of herbal tea, calmed down for a while, and then said: "Dad doesn't want you to do anything big, as long as you are happy and peaceful, this matter, you can do it if you want to, if you encounter any problems, remember to tell me." ”

After drinking the tea, the rich man sighed and left.

Tang Ning came out of the cabinet and said, "Your father actually loves you very much." ”

Tang Yaoyao was startled, stood up and asked, "What are you hiding in the cabinet for?" ”

Tang Ning explained: "Your father doesn't like me very much, so I have to find a place to hide first." ”

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said, "I don't have the heart to play cards today." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I'm not here to play cards with you. ”

"Instead of playing cards, what are you looking for me for?"

"Hit me."

……

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Ning lay on the grass in the backyard, and after exercising with Tang Yaoyao, although his whole body hurt everywhere, his heart was very happy and comfortable.

When I was depressed, I really had to find a way to vent it, even if I didn't take advantage of anything during the whole process, the depression in my heart was swept away.

Tang Yaoyao moved his wrist and said, "The mood is really much better, otherwise, if you are unhappy in the future, you will come to me to beat you, so that both of us will be happy." ”

"No need." Tang Ning hurriedly said.

He's not shaking M, it's uncomfortable not to be insulted by her, but it's a pity that the people he knows are stronger than him, and none of them are equal, there are comings and goings, and the battle must be more enjoyable after three hundred rounds.

He put his hands behind his head and let out a long sigh of relief.

The first experience of joining the Hanlin Academy was not pleasant, and I wonder what the situation will be like in the future?

Even if he left the leader, he still had to go to work, and the next morning, Tang Ning still came to the Hanlin Academy on time.

No one arranged a job for him, and no one mentioned yesterday's incident, he wrote a few volumes of "A Chinese Girl's Soul" in the duty room, and ate a not very delicious working meal at noon, and soon stayed up until the release of the government.

There is still a distance from the palace gate, and today's noon meal makes him very unaccustomed to eating Xiaoru and Xiaoyi's craftsmanship, and the imperial chef in the palace has a completely different attitude towards the royal family and officials, so he decided to bring food from home tomorrow.

Bang!

Tang Ning lowered his head and thought about things, but a figure collided with him, he staggered, and the figure fell directly to the ground.

Tang Ning looked down and saw that it was the girl he had seen yesterday who hit him.

The girl was holding a thread hub in her hand, obviously flying a kite, she shouldn't have paid attention just now, and Tang Ning didn't plan to bother with him.

"You, you're so bold!" The girl took the wire hub, just said a word, when she raised her head, she was suddenly stunned, and then her face immediately turned white, threw down the wire hub, and ran away screaming.

"Your Highness, slow down and run......" The eunuch palace maid behind him hurriedly chased after him.

Tang Ning glanced in the direction she was fleeing, shook his head and said, "Inexplicable......"
