Chapter 459: Shady!
Downing is not an unprincipled person who will not change the bottom line casually.
The main reason is that Xiao Jue said that this prince of Dian has a wide range of friends, and he can be called the male version of the county lord of Anyang in Beijing, another courtesan in Beijing, and it is also the largest black village in Beijing, he has to wait and see what people in the upper circles of Beijing are betting on.
He instructed Qing'er to go and turn out the invitation, change her clothes, and plan to go to the meeting in the evening.
When he carefully studied the invitation, Xiao Jue leaned over and asked, "Are you sure that Zuo Xiaowei can win the first place?" ”
Tang Ning said: "What, are you worried about losing money?" ”
"Not really." Xiao Jue shook his head and said: "Lu Ding said that I can only marry his daughter when I become a general, if Zuo Xiaowei can win the first place this time, Your Majesty will have to make me a general, so that I can be promoted to a general next year, and I will have the opportunity to lead the troops to the grassland to walk around, kill some barbarians, and come back to be promoted to general......"
The emperor's brother-in-law is powerful, promotion is the same as playing, Xiao Jue, as a small captain, will start planning the steps to become a general now, and the captain who has no background in the sixteen guards is afraid that he will not be able to sit in that position for the rest of his life.
"Don't worry." He looked at Xiao Jue and said, "I still want to be a Zhonglang general to play." ”
"That's good." Xiao Jue looked at the sky and said, "It's not too early, let's go." ”
Tang Ning walked out of the door and said casually: "What if you can't become a cavalry general in two years?" ”
"If we can't make up our ......, we'll cook the raw rice first." Xiao Jue said disapprerovitically: "When the time comes, can he Lu Ding stop it?" ”
Tang Ning looked at him in surprise, it seems that Xiao Jue has not only become a man physically, but also began to learn to solve things in a man's way.
The palace of the prince of Dian is in the east of the city, which is the gathering place of the princes and nobles in Beijing.
When Tang Ning and Xiao Jue got there, there were already many people who came first, they met Liu Jun and Mu Yu on the way, and when they walked to the gate of the mansion, they met another person, Tang Ning remembered that he seemed to be Captain Zuo Yinqi, called Chen Chuan.
Zuo Yinqiwei lost to Zuo Xiaowei, and almost turned defeat into victory, Chen Chuan was obviously a little dissatisfied with Xiao Jue, ignored him, just arched his hand to Tang Ning, and said, "Lord Tang." ”
"Captain Chen." Tang Ning also bowed in return, but looked at the person behind him and said in surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
Chen Chuan looked behind him, looked at Tang Ning again, and said in surprise: "Lord Tang knows Chen Zhou?" ”
Tang Ning naturally knew Chen Zhou, and he was very impressed, it was not easy to find a subordinate like this who had both craftsmanship and eyes, and he planned to wait until he was promoted to Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General, and then ask him to come over from Lu Teng, Lu Teng would not give this face.
Chen Chuan didn't wait for Tang Ning to answer, so he suddenly said: "I almost forgot, Lord Tang is a marriage envoy ......."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Chen Zhou and said, "He is a side disciple of my Chen family, and I brought him here to see the world." ”
Chen Zhou stepped forward and arched his hand, "Lord Tang." ”
Tang Ning looked at the two of them, the name of the Chen family is really strange, a sunken boat, a sunken ship, no wonder he felt familiar when he first saw this Captain Chen Chuan.
After Chen Chuan and Chen Zhou went in first, Xiao Jue and Tang Ning also walked into the Shizi Mansion, Xiao Jue looked left and right, and suddenly pointed in a certain direction and said: "Isn't that Tang Zhao, it is said that he was restricted from pocket money, and he even had to go to the Qinglou on credit, and now it has become a joke of Jingshi, I think he must gamble tonight, otherwise, he will not even have the money to visit the kiln......"
In fact, Xiao Jue himself is a joke of Jingshi, but compared with Tang Zhao, he is still a step behind, Jingshi and even the people of Chen Guo, many people don't know who Tang Huai and Tang Qi are, but they all know that the Tang family has a Tang Zhao, who is a villain prototype in "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", a big gentleman, scum, and scum in Beijing......
Thousands of years later, not to mention the Tang family, even the Chen Kingdom is gone, but Tang Zhao can still be famous.
The banquet was held in the open-air garden, and although it was night, there were many lanterns hanging around the garden, which was unusually bright, and although there was still some influence on the sight at night, it also created an intimate atmosphere.
"Brother Xiao." A figure came from the front and greeted Xiao Jue, then looked at Tang Ning and said in surprise: "Could this be Lord Tang?" ”
When Tang Ning saw the banquet of the county lord of Anyang for the first time, he had seen the prince of the Dian king, and raised his hand and said, "Your Highness." ”
"Rare guest, really rare guest." The prince of the king of Dian looked at him and said, "This king has invited you more than a dozen times, but this time I finally invited you." ”
Tang Ning said embarrassedly: "I am busy with official business on weekdays, Your Highness forgive me." ”
The prince of Dian said: "Lord Tang is the most valued courtier of His Majesty, and it is also appropriate to be busy, how can this king meet ...... forgiveness"
He and Tang Ning Xiao Jue had a polite exchange, and said with a smile: "I still have a few guests to entertain, there are wine and pastries in front, and the two of them are ...... by themselves."
The banquet in the Shizifu is quite casual, in addition to the purpose of making friends, the most important thing is to open a gambling game, gambling and prostitution, for these young sons and daughters in Beijing, it is simply commonplace.
The two found a place to sit down, and after a while, the prince of Dian came from the front, looked at everyone, and said with a smile: "I specially invited Miss Su tonight to play a song for everyone, Miss Su's music is the best in Beijing, and everyone's ears are fortunate to ......."
"Miss Su?"
"I can actually hear Miss Su playing, tonight is really not in vain."
"I was fortunate to hear Miss Su's piano sound once, and I still have a ...... aftertaste."
……
As soon as the prince of Dian finished speaking, there was a commotion in the room for a while, and then it immediately became silent.
A graceful figure came from the front, her face was covered with a light veil, and her face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, even so, it did not affect the charm that exuded from her body that was enough to make a man crazy.
Su Mei's piano sound is different from her soul-seducing Xiao Sheng, Qingyue is melodious, listening to it in the ear, it is really a pleasure, but the atmosphere tonight is not right, there are too many people and there is no artistic conception, and when it comes to tomorrow, Tang Ning must listen to her play a song alone.
After the song, the venue was quiet for a long time before there was a burst of applause.
"Miss Su has worked hard." The prince of the king of Dian stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pressed down, and said a word to Su Mei, and then turned to look at everyone: "This king also invited a few beauties from the Western Regions tonight, you might as well take a good look, what is the difference between this woman in the Western Regions and my Han woman, and please move ......to the palace later."
Listening to the meaning of the prince of Dian, there seems to be a fun program brought by several beauties from the Western Regions, Tang Ning took a sip of tea, his eyes casually flickered, and he saw a figure hidden behind the shadow of the tree behind the side.
He glanced away and looked at Xiao Jue, and asked, "Which guard will Zuo Xiaowei compete with next?" ”
Xiao Jue was stunned and said, "You forgot, Zuo Xiaowei's next opponent is Zuo Yinqiwei." ”
Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Bet 10,000 taels of silver for a while, and buy Zuo Xiaowei and lose." ”
"What?" Xiao Jue was taken aback, looked at him, and asked, "Are you crazy?" ”
Tang Ning gave him a look and said, "It's much easier to lose than to win, and we will divide the money we earn ...... when the time comes."
Xiao Jue looked at him, glanced to the side, quickly moved back, and nodded: "One word is a ......."
The figure behind the shadow of the tree was stunned, slowly retreated, came to a certain position, looked at a person and asked, "Who won the bet Zuo Xiaowei or Right Yinqiwei just now?" ”
Ling Feng looked at him and said: "Zuo Xiaowei, my father said, Zuo Xiaowei was clumsy in the first few games, and Zuo Yinqiwei is not their opponent at all, and those who bet on Zuo Xiaowei to lose are fools......"
Tang Zhao's face changed, looked at him, and said, "Listen to me, buy Yin Qiwei next time to win!" ”
"Are you crazy?" Ling Feng looked at him and said, "Aren't you very short of money, you said that Zuo Xiaowei is stronger, you still dare to buy Yin Qiwei?" ”
"There is a shady scene in this competition......" Tang Zhao looked at a place behind him, turned his head, and said, "If it's a brother, believe me!" ”
