King Duan chased after King Huai like a mad dog and bit hard, King Huai must have been very big recently.

But this has nothing to do with Tang Ning, after all, King Duan didn't bite him, and if King Duan really hit him with his idea, he wouldn't mind knocking out his mouth full of dog teeth.

He is busy with other things these days besides the affairs of Shangshu Province.

The caravan of the grassland should be formed as soon as possible, the Tang family has fallen from a high-ranking wealthy family to here, Tang Ning has ravaged them in all directions both materially and spiritually, and the hatred in his heart is not much.

It's time for him to plan his own future.

After all, he can't stay in Chen State all the time to help Chen Huang work, Lan Lan is still waiting for him in Chu State, Wan Yan Yan is still waiting for him to go to the grassland to fulfill the agreement, he is pacifying Jiangnan and stabilizing the northwest, he has done so many things for Chen Huang, it's not too much to kidnap one of his daughters, right?

It had been a short time since he had returned from the grassland, and it was the beginning of October in a flash.

One night in mid-October, before the curfew, a carriage slowly stopped in front of Tang's house.

Tang Shui helped Tang Yu get off the carriage, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "I'm finally back." ”

Tang Ning was already planning to sleep, but when he heard that they were back in Beijing, he put on his clothes again, walked out, looked at the two figures in the hall, and said with a smile: "Mother, you are back." ”

Tang Yu walked over, looked at him, and said distressedly: "Why are you thinner than before, you must have suffered a lot on the grassland, right?" ”

"No ......" Tang Ning smiled and changed the subject: "Are you hungry, do you want me to make some supper?" ”

"No need." Tang Shui shook his head and said, "There will be a curfew soon, it's not early, I'll go home first......"

"This ......" Tang Ning looked at her and said with some embarrassment: "It's too late now, or I'll rest here tonight." ”

Tang Shui shook his head and said, "There are many people during the day, and it is more convenient at night." ”

With that, she turned and walked outside.

Tang Ning stretched out his hand to stop her: "Wait a minute. ”

Tang Shui turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"You don't have to go back." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "The Tang family is gone." ”

Tang Shui frowned and looked at him and asked, "What?" ”

Tang Ning explained: "In the days when you left Beijing, there was a little accident in the Tang family, Tang Qi and Tang Huai were removed from the official position, and your father was not affected, in addition, the old mansion of the Tang family was also raided by the imperial court, so you can't go back tonight." ”

Tang Shui looked at him directly: "Little accident? ”

Tang Ning thought for a moment and added, "It's a little bit bigger than a small accident, it's a medium accident......

……

Whether it is a small accident or a medium accident, the old mansion of the Tang family now belongs to the imperial court and does not belong to the Tang family, and Tang Shui naturally can't go back.

What happened to the Tang family during this time, they would know sooner or later, it was better for Tang Ning to tell them himself.

In the room, Tang Yu looked at him and said, "Just do what you think you should do, don't take care of us." ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "You guys rest early, I'll go back." ”

Tang Ning walked out of the room and walked into the courtyard, Tang Shui came out of the room and said, "Sooner or later, the Tang family will rise again, when the time comes, how will you gain a foothold in the capital?" ”

Tang Ning turned his head, smiled, and asked, "Who said I want to gain a foothold in Jingshi?" ”

Tang Shui was stunned and asked, "You, are you leaving Jingshi?" ”

Tang Ning didn't answer this question and continued to ask, "Why do you think that the Tang family will rise again?" ”

"Wait until the end of the king ......"

"Does that position have to be Duanwang's?"

……

Tang Shui's expression was stunned, and he looked at him for a long time before he said, "You, what do you mean......"

"Women's affairs are left alone." Tang Ning smiled and said, "Let's go back and rest early." ”

Watching Tang Ning walk out of the yard, Tang Shui stood in place, stunned for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You actually talk to your cousin like this!" ”

……

Jingshi West District.

Just after dawn, there was a knock on the door of a house facing the street.

Tang Jing opened the door and saw the figure standing outside, and said in surprise: "Shui'er, when did you come back?" ”

"Last night." Tang Shui walked into the mansion and asked, "Where is my mother?" ”

A woman came out of the room, saw her, and said in surprise: "Shui'er is back, how is it, is Jiangnan fun?" ”

Tang Shui nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Tang Jing stepped forward and asked suspiciously, "How did you know that we moved here?" ”

Tang Shui said: "I originally went home, but when I saw that my home was sealed, I asked someone to inquire and found out that you had moved here, what happened?" ”

The woman sighed and said, "During your absence, a lot of things happened in the capital......

What happened to the Tang family, Tang Shui had already heard Tang Ning talk about it last night, but he couldn't tell that she spent the night there last night, after listening to the woman's words, she was silent for a while before she said: "This is all the fault of the eldest uncle and the second uncle, no wonder others." ”

"Don't talk about that." Tang Jing waved his hand and said, "The old mansion is gone, where are you going to stay tonight?" ”

Tang Shui looked at the courtyard and said, "Of course I live at home......

Tang Jing's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said, "You have also seen that this house is not big, there is only one bedroom, and there is no place for you to live......"

Tang Shui was stunned and asked, "When you bought the house, didn't you think of me?" ”

Tang Jing said embarrassedly: "When you weren't there, we forgot about ......, and besides, we didn't have enough silver in our hands to buy a bigger house......

Tang Shui knew that his father and mother had never taken silver from the Tang family, and only relied on his annual income, but even so, he was still angry in his heart, looked at them with shame, and said, "You have disappointed me too much......

……

Anyang County Lord's Mansion, Anyang County Lord looked at her, smiled from ear to ear, and gasped: "So, so you bought the house next to them yourself......"

She put her hand on Tang Shui's shoulder and said with a smile: "This kind of thing will also forget, whether you are your biological ...... or not, oh yes, you are not their biological ...... in the first place"

The two have been very good friends since they were children, they talk about everything, and it doesn't hurt to make some jokes like this on weekdays.

"Stop laughing." Tang Shui tugged at her face and said, "Who knew that we just went to Jiangnan once, and something like this happened in Beijing......

The smile on the face of the county lord of Anyang retracted, and he said: "Speaking of this, that cousin of yours is too ruthless, and that is his own uncle......

Tang Shui glanced at her dissatisfiedly and said, "Is there an uncle who wants to take his nephew's life three times or twice?" ”

The county lord of Anyang looked at him and said in surprise: "Have you forgotten that you are the Tang family, your Tang family has been made like this by him, and you are actually on his side." ”

Tang Shui glanced at her and said, "I'm on the side of reason. ”

The county lord of Anyang looked at her, shook his head, and said: "You don't know how ruthless his methods are, after the Tang family moved to the West District, he actually bought an entire street of shops in the West District, and all of them hung up their Tang Renzhai signs, I heard that after the Tang family moved over, the door has never been opened......"

A mischievous expression appeared on her face, and she said: "But he is still not ruthless enough, if it were me, I would have bought the old mansion of the Tang family and used it to raise pigs, and I would be angry with them!" ”

Tang Shui glanced at her and said, "Don't you think he's vicious?" ”

The county lord of Anyang pursed his lips and said: "A manly man, there is a grudge to repay a grudge, and there is a revenge to take revenge, this is what a gentleman does." ”

Tang Shui asked, "So you think he's a gentleman?" ”

"Phew!" The county lord of Anyang secretly took a sip and said, "He is a disciple!" ”

……

Households.

The Ministry of Household is in charge of the treasury of the state, and the treasury here includes not only the silver in the treasury, but also any physical property belonging to the state.

"Lord Tang wants to buy the old mansion of the Tang family?" Qian Shuo, the head of the household, looked at Tang Ning and said in surprise: "Don't you have a mansion in Beijing, what do you want the old mansion of the Tang family to do?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and said calmly: "Raise pigs." ”
