After Su Mei left, Tang Ning sat alone in the study, sorting out his thoughts.

Obviously, whether it was Su Mei's master or the middle-aged woman he captured from the Chu State, there was something big about it.

Judging from the fact that she left the second prince and ran away alone, Gongsun Ying's purpose of doing things for the grassland is not simple, and Natural Living has been operating in Beijing for many years, and has close ties with many big people in Beijing, and the secret energy is even more beyond imagination, and the goal will never be to make Natural Home the No. 1 catering brand in Chen Guo.

What exactly did their group of people want to do was a question that Tang Ning couldn't figure out.

Don't think about the things you can't figure out for the time being, since you have already caught her, you won't let her go so simply, you will inevitably fall into the hands of others, and directly hand her over to the court, and they can deal with her as they want.

He picked up the pen again, and instead of writing, he began to write excerpts.

Just now, someone from the palace asked him to report the things he encountered on this trip in detail, there are a lot of things that happened along the way, the princess did not send it out, the county lord did not marry back, the grassland people stirred the wind and rain all the way, the little brother of Chu turned over and became the eldest brother, ...... such a big thing happened, although it was not the mission of the mission, but there should be an explanation.

After writing the excerpt, he walked out of the study and saw that the courtyard was quite lively.

Xiaoxiao was practicing, with the guidance of an old beggar, she entered the realm quickly, Tang Ning came back this time and found that she was much more cheerful than before, and a large part of this was due to Fang Xinyue.

Lao Zheng's daughter Nan Nan stood next to the little one, learning in a good way.

Nan Nan is five years old this year, Lao Zheng and his time to go to Chu State, has been taken care of by Xiaoru and Xiaoyi, during this time, Xiaoyi taught her to read and write, and the women in the family dressed her up beautifully, not for half a year, she is not the snot girl who followed Fang Xinyue around before.

The butcher's daughter actually has some small family ladies.

The old beggar sat on the chair, looked at the little practice with satisfaction, and then looked at the little girl next to him, turned his head and asked Butcher Zheng: "Killing pigs, is this your daughter, you rough guy can give birth to such a peugeot girl?" ”

Lao Zheng squatted on the ground, took the old beggar's wine jug and poured a sip of wine, and said, "Her mother is beautiful, and she follows her mother." ”

The old beggar looked at him, the expression on his face could not tell whether it was surprise or envy, pursed his lips, and said, "Such a beautiful girl, can you look at you?" ”

Lao Zheng was indifferent, shook his head, and no longer answered.

Tang Ning walked over, looked at Lao Zheng and asked, "Do you have any plans in the future, take Nan Nan back to Lingzhou?" ”

"Nan Nan is five years old, and when she grows up, she can't kill pigs and sell meat with me." Lao Zheng looked at the place where Xiao Xiao practiced, wiped the wine on his stubble, and said: "I plan to stay in Jingshi and let her read some books, girls should read more books, and those who are knowledgeable and reasonable, like Miss Zhong, can marry a good family in the future." ”

He stood up, looked at Tang Ning, and said, "If you think it's okay, I'll stay here and do some work of killing pigs and sheep on weekdays, and you can just watch and pay for the salary." ”

It is really useless to let a master like Lao Zheng kill pigs and sheep, Tang Ning waved his hand and said: "If you want, you can live here, you can live as long as you want, you don't have to do any work......"

"It's not going to work." Lao Zheng shook his head and said, "If you don't work, you only know that you eat white food here, don't you even want your face?" ”

The old beggar sneered and said, "Do you still know how to have a face? ”

After saying that, he was stunned, and then he jumped up, grabbed him by the collar and asked, "What do you mean by killing pigs!" ”

The old beggar and Lao Zheng got up, Tang Ning walked to the pavilion where Xiao Ru Xiaoyi was, and not long after he sat down, he saw Fang Xinyue walking in from outside.

She was followed by Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan was followed by a little girl.

This little girl Tang Ning has seen it once, and she seems to be the granddaughter of Prime Minister Wang's family, and she is also the sister of the Wang family in Zhao Yuan's mouth.

Zhao Yuan ran over and asked, "Sir, did I let you bring the rouge?" ”

Tang Ning asked Qing'er to take the wooden box and hand it to Zhao Yuan, he opened it and looked at it, and immediately laughed.

He counted the rouge in the wooden box and muttered, "This is for the mother concubine, and this is for the sister of the Wang family......"

The little girl surnamed Wang, who was standing beside him, laughed.

"This is for the sister of the Zhang family, this is for the sister of the Bai family, this ......" Zhao Yuan was still talking to himself, not seeing that the little girl next to him had already pouted.

When he had finished counting, he took out a box from it and handed it to the little girl, who put her hands around her, turned her head, and said, "I don't want it." ”

"Why?" Zhao Yuan was stunned and asked, "Didn't you want it a long time ago?" ”

The little girl pouted and said, "Why do you want to give Sister Zhang and Sister Bai ......?"

Zhao Yuan touched his head and said, "Because I promised them......"

"Humph!" The little girl looked at him and said, "You can only choose one of us!" ”

"This ......," Zhao Yuan showed a look of hesitation on his face.

The little girl looked at him, stamped her foot, and ran away as fast as she could.

"Hey, sister of the Wang family, don't run, wait for me, be careful of falling......" Zhao Yuan hugged the box and hurriedly chased after it.

Zhong Yi watched him run away, shook his head and said, "King Runwang is still so young, he knows how to make girls happy." ”

Su Ru also said with some amusement: "The little girl of the Wang family is angry, see how he chooses ......"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "He's just too young, children make choices, adults ......"

Zhong Yi looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with my lord?" ”

Su Ru also looked at him with a wink.

"My lord......" Tang Ning looked away, shook his head and said, "My lord won't ask like the little girl of the Wang family." ”

Adults don't ask that, but adults will also encounter problems that children encounter.

Tang Ning didn't eat a few bites when he ate in the afternoon, he was thinking about how to tell them about Zhao Man and Li Tianlan.

In the evening, he usually writes in the study, and Xiaoyi will accompany him to read the book, Xiaoru will stand aside to help him polish the ink, or calculate the accounts of the store.

Tang Ning didn't write today, he was a little absent-minded, and after thinking for a long time, he looked at them and said, "I ...... have something I want to tell you." ”

Zhong Yi and Su Ru both raised their heads and looked at him.

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Actually, ......"

Zhong Yi looked at him and asked, "Actually, the princess likes Xianggong?" ”

"......" Tang Ning was stunned, looked at them, and muttered, "You ......"

"We already knew." Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "Because the princess likes Xianggong, Xianggong is going to Chu State and bring her back safely." ”

She looked at Tang Ning again and asked, "Are you ...... on the way?"

"No, no, no ......" Tang Ning hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We didn't do anything." ”

Between him and Zhao Man, it was really innocent, although she had been forcibly kissed, but that time she didn't even stretch out her tongue, it was nothing at all......

Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "So Xianggong has accepted the princess." ”

Tang Ning was about to speak, and Zhong Yi continued: "Before Xianggong left, the concubine already knew that the princess liked Xianggong, her status was noble, and her liking for Xianggong was harder than that of ...... concubine. ”

Regarding this matter, she and Su Ru had discussed it during the day, and she was very calm at the moment.

Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi's reaction to this matter was far calmer and softer than Tang Ning imagined, he originally thought that he would sleep in the study for at least a month, but he didn't expect them to be so calm.

He coughed lightly, looked at them, and said, "Actually, there is one more thing......

Zhongyi looked at him and said in surprise: "What else is going on?" ”

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Do you remember Miss Li?" ”

……

Cool night.

Downing sat alone in the courtyard, cold and hungry.

Facts have proved that when a person has made an inch of progress, he must not think about going one step further, and the consequence of gaining an inch is that he will sit here alone in the middle of the night and starve.

The moon was bright, and a figure flew over from outside the wall, looked at him, and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Leave this alone." Tang Ning looked at Tang Xiaoxiao and asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said, "Wait." ”

She climbed over the courtyard wall, flew back after a while, handed him a box of pastries, and asked, "What are you doing here without sleeping at night?" ”

Tang Ning ate a piece of pastry and asked, "Didn't you sleep too?" ”

"I was going to sleep, and when I heard something going on here, I came over and had a look." Tang Yaoyao sat opposite him and said, "What happened?" ”

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "We are best friends, can I trust you?" ”

Tang Yaoyao waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." ”

Tang Ning swallowed a piece of pastry and said, "This matter is a long story. ”

Tang Yaoyao said impatiently: "Then make a long story short!" ”

"This time I went to Chu State, something happened......" Tang Ning looked at her, briefly recounted, and finally said: "That's it." ”

"Princess?"

"And Li Tianlan?"

Tang Yaoyao sat opposite Tang Ning, with her back to the moonlight, Tang Ning couldn't see her expression clearly, and could only hear her voice trembling a little.

At one point, he suddenly felt that his hands were empty, and the pastry had been taken away.

Tang Ning got up and said, "I haven't eaten yet......

There was a sound of breaking wind in his ears, Tang Yaoyao stood on the courtyard wall, looked back at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Why didn't I starve you to death!" ”
