It turns out that without diamonds, it's better not to do porcelain work, and his good hair is like being gnawed by a dog that he cut himself, and in the end he still has to ask Xiu'er to come over and clean up the mess.

It was difficult to clean up when his hair was long, and after Xiu'er helped him cut it shorter, he had to reach his waist for a few months, and Tang Ning finally deeply realized the trouble of his female compatriots.

I put away all the hair I had lost, found a brazier and burned it, and drew two circles on the ground with a wooden stick.

Tang family.

Even though the Tang family has suffered a lot of twists and turns in the past year, the atmosphere during the New Year is still lively.

Since the third day of the first lunar month, the officials of the DPRK and China have been visiting constantly, and the temporary loss of power of the Tang family and Duanwang has made the wind in the court and the central government have fallen, and many people have fallen to the camp of King Kang, but they originally belonged to the Duanwang line, but they must be united and more cohesive.

At this moment, in a certain hall of the Tang family, there was a crowd of people.

"Lord Shangshu, this time the envoy of the Chu State asked to marry Princess Pingyang, although His Majesty has put it on hold for the time being, but after Shangyuan, it will definitely be officially discussed, this matter is the general trend and cannot be changed." An official looked at Tang Huai and said, "This is a rare opportunity, we should seize this opportunity to strike while the iron is hot and turn the current situation around." ”

An official said: "Yes, Lord Tang, the prince of Chu can marry Princess Pingyang, and King Duan can also marry Princess Chu, if King Duan can marry Princess Chu, it will be of great benefit to us." ”

Tang Huai didn't speak, Tang Qi stood up, looked at everyone, and explained: "Your Excellency, you don't know, the emperor of Chu State, except for the crown prince of Chu State, has no heirs, this matter is not feasible. ”

An official thought for a while, shook his head and said: "But we can't let go of this opportunity in vain, after Your Majesty agrees to Chu State's proposal, there will be officials from the Ministry of Rites to accompany us, and we will be one step ahead of King Kang, if we ignore this opportunity, it will be a pity." ”

"Since the State of Chu took the initiative to ask for marriage, it means that they also hope to have stable relations with the State of Chen, and they will definitely not refuse to ask for marriage......"

"In my opinion, the State of Chu will not let go of such an opportunity, without a princess, it is not feasible to retreat to the second best place and find a county lord to be crowned a princess?"

"Lord Tang, this matter is worth considering......

……

Everyone gathered around the charcoal stove and opened their mouths, Tang Huai stretched out his hand, pressed it down, and said, "I will discuss this matter with Concubine Hui." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came forward to report that the feast was ready.

Tang Huai stretched out his hand to everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

Everyone immediately stretched out their hands: "Lord Tang, please." ”

When Tang Huai stood up, he accidentally touched the charcoal stove under his feet, only to hear a "clang", the charcoal stove overturned, the charcoal fire scattered, and several pieces of red-hot charcoal fell directly on his feet.

Everyone scattered, Tang Huai subconsciously stomped his feet back, but accidentally knocked down the chair, the wooden table also shook, the tea cup on the table fell to the ground and fell into pieces, Tang Huai's body was unstable, he also fell to the ground, his palm pressed on the tea cup fragment, and he was stained red with blood when he landed.

Everyone in the hall was suddenly shocked and chaotic.

"Lord Tang is fine!"

"Hurry up and help Lord Tang up!"

"Lang Zhong, hurry up and invite Lang Zhong to come over!"

……

It was the New Year, Tang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, burned his feet and scratched his hands at home, everyone was in a hurry for a while, Tang Huai was helped back to the room to rest, and the Tang family did not have the heart to prepare for the banquet, and the officials stayed for a while, and then they all gave their hands and left.

Tang Qi sent everyone out of the house and arched his hand: "A few adults go slowly." ”

One of them arched his hand and said, "If the road is slippery in the snow, Lord Tang will send it here." ”

"It doesn't matter." Tang Qi smiled, took two steps forward, and arched his hand and said, "Today's incident happened suddenly, and I will make up for today's banquet in the coming day......

Before he finished speaking, his feet slipped suddenly, and the whole person rolled down the steps, and hit the stone lion at the gate of the Tang Mansion, bleeding like a ......

……

"It's so cold......"

Xiao Jue rubbed his hands, put his hands on the stove and roasted them, and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, watching the snowflakes fall outside the court.

Tang Ning sat in front of the stove, inserted a steamed bun with chopsticks and roasted it on the fire, it began to snow two days ago, but maybe it was the reason for the improvement of physical fitness, he didn't feel how cold it was, the room was thick, and he couldn't feel a little cold, but it was too stuffy, he simply carried the stove to the pavilion.

Green ants cultivate new wine, red mud small stove, when the ancients snowed, while drinking, while enjoying the snow, it sounds like a different artistic conception, in this environment, while roasting steamed buns with the stove, while chatting with Xiao Jue, who has been taking drugs all day, the artistic conception is not so sufficient.

Especially the sound of ping-pong from the yard next door is even more irritable for no reason.

Tang Ning thought of something, looked at him and asked, "Are you feeling better for diarrhea?" ”

Xiao Jue said: "Yesterday was fine. ”

Tang Ning handed him the baked steamed bun and said, "The baked steamed bun is not bad, do you want one?" ”

"Don't." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "I don't know what's wrong, I've been having diarrhea when I've been eating at your house lately......"

Hearing Xiao Jue talk about diarrhea, Tang Ning didn't want to eat it, so he put it aside, and the old beggar would use this thing to drink when he was hungry.

Xiao Jue remembered something, suddenly looked at him, and said, "Tang Huai and Tang Qi are both injured, have you heard of it?" ”

"What?" Tang Ning was stunned and asked, "Who did you listen to, is it serious, do you want to die?" ”

"It's not that serious." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "It is said that Tang Huai was burned by a charcoal stove at home, and Tang Qi fell while walking and broke two ribs......"

Tang Ning touched his hair, now the New Year has not passed, the problem is that Xiu'er has already helped him cut his hair short, and cutting it again is not in line with the aesthetics of this era, standing with Xiao Jue, others will also think that Xiao Jue is more handsome......

After thinking about it for a moment, he still dispelled the thought in his heart.

"Are you quite familiar with Princess Pingyang?" Xiao Jue looked at him and asked, "Is she going to marry to the Chu State?" ”

"It's not too familiar...... Tang Ning shook his head and said, "However, the marriage is good for both Chen and Chu, and she shouldn't be able to hide from it." ”

Thinking that he hadn't seen Zhao Hao for several days, Tang Ning was really a little worried in his heart, a little girl whose heart was not yet fully mature, was used as a bargaining chip for political marriage, married to a distant neighboring country, and may not come back for the rest of her life, thinking about it is actually quite pitiful.

For her, it was also cruel.

It's a pity that as a friend, he can't help her, the general trend is the trend, and his personal power seems so small.

"It's not just Princess Pingyang." Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "I heard that King Duan also wants to marry the State of Chu, if this matter can be promoted, King Duan's status in His Majesty's heart will immediately become important." ”

Tang Ning is not worried about this, King Duan is smart, King Kang is not a fool, will he watch King Duan get a powerful external ally?

Although King Kang is a little stingy, there is no shortage of discerning strategists around him, and he will not make such a low-level mistake.

He waved his hand and said, "In this matter, King Kang is more anxious than you and me. ”

Xiao Jue nodded and said: "That's right, if Concubine Tang Hui fights for this matter from Your Majesty, Concubine Zhang Xian will not show weakness if she wants to come, Your Majesty will never be partial to King Kang and King Duan, and when the time comes, it will depend on their respective abilities." ”

He was about to continue speaking, when he suddenly frowned, looked in one direction, and asked, "What is the yard next door doing, why is it so noisy?" ”

"I don't know." Tang Ning shook his head, Tang Xiaoxiao lived next door to one side of the courtyard, and he was not very familiar with the owner of the house on the other side, since yesterday, he has been ping pong over there, and he doesn't know what he is doing.

He got up, walked to the corner, stepped on a rock, and poked his head over.

In the courtyard next door, the girl was wearing a hat and commanding the guards in the courtyard.

"Move these two big stones to the corner......"

"I don't want the rockery over there."

"This pavilion ......, forget it, let's stay first."

……

She glanced around the courtyard, looked at the head poking out of the courtyard wall, leaned down, grabbed a handful of snow, crumpled it into a snowball, and smashed it.

"Let you peek!"
