Chapter Seventy-Five: In Confusion
It is the wish of every Wujin warrior to stay in the capital to serve, but the number of places is too small, and it is controlled by the four nobles, and even their direct clans are nervous, not to mention Yang Weibiao and Zhang Yicheng, who are distant relatives of the side branches. What's more, Tang Tong is a subordinate of the side branch, and it is too difficult to stay in Beijing, it is simply wishful thinking.
Yang Weibiao and Zhang Yicheng knew that there was no hope, so they didn't think about it anymore, and while they had not yet been assigned official positions, they had time to visit the famous places and fun places in the capital all day long, but they were also happy and happy. The two of them knew that Tang Tong was trying his best to stay in the capital, so they didn't bother. I really had nowhere to go on this day, so I went to visit the Tang Mansion and inquired about the news by the way.
It's really a coincidence that there is no book, and I met Miss Lan Er not far from the Tang Mansion, and it was too late to avoid it. Yang Weibiao had no choice but to greet with a smile, "Miss Lan Er!" Where is this going?".
Lan Tingmei saw the two of them from afar, and said hello first. How can a woman's mind be revealed casually, and she asked arrogantly, "Where are you going?", and approached Yang Weibiao as she spoke, without any concerns between men and women.
Miss Lan Er is famous, so it's better not to offend, so as not to make herself unhappy. Yang Weibiao replied truthfully: "It's okay to go to Brother Tang and ask for a glass of wine!"
Lan Tingmei actually went to the Tang Mansion and made a reluctant look, "I happen to be fine, so I'll go with you, let's go!", after speaking, she didn't care about Yang Weibiao and the two of them, and took the lead alone. Yang Weibiao looked at Zhang Yicheng, shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly, as if he was saying that it should be provincial, he shook his head, and the two followed.
The three of them went straight to the inner courtyard like their own homes, came to the study, and saw Tang Tong reading a book. Lan Tingmei couldn't help but laugh, "Working so hard, I still want to take the Wen Jinshi!", and without waiting for Tang Tong to greet her, she found a nearby place to sit down.
Tang Tong stood up and said half-jokingly: "That's what I mean, but it's a pity that I'm not suitable for this way.", motioning for Yang Weibiao and Zhang Yicheng to sit.
Lan Tingmei had already known Tang Tong well, and snorted, "Don't pretend to be deflated!" I'm afraid that others won't know that you are a civil and military person.", said and looked out with his eyes.
Tang Tong didn't rush to answer, put the book away, and didn't look at her, "I really can't hide anything from Miss Lan Er, the two brothers are looking for me to drink, why is Miss Lan Er here?".
Lan Tingmei had long been accustomed to Tang Tong's ridicule, so she replied, "What? Won't I be allowed to ask for a drink?".
Tang Tong didn't answer, Yang Weibiao spoke first, "How can Brother Tang be so open-minded, welcome to come!", as soon as the words came out, Lan Tingmei's eyes looked at him, knowing that he was against the scales, and hurriedly avoided her eyes.
Tang Tong was still meticulous and continued to tease, "Miss Lan Er is a good drinker, she is not an outsider, please say!".
Lan Tingmei was hit by what she thought in her heart, first her heart was shocked, and she quickly stabilized again, and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to congratulate high school in the future?", she stood up as she spoke, waved her hands and said: "Congratulations to Tang Qian, come to bother, and ask for good luck!", and then congratulated Zhang Yang and the two and said: "Congratulations to the two of you!", the smile is restrained, and people dare not slack off.
Facing Miss Lan Er, who suddenly changed her attitude, Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao were a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly stood up, waved their hands and saluted, "Thank you!" and sat down after Lan Tingmei sat down.
Seeing that Lan Tingmei avoided the topic, Tang Tong had no choice but to sigh, "It will be difficult to see Miss Lan Er in the future!" Let's have a drink today, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return!", said with pride and sentimentality.
When Lan Tingmei heard this, she immediately asked, "I'm a woman, so Tang Qian won't give in?"
Tang Tong really didn't think about it, and hurriedly waved his hand, "I mean that in the same year as the two of you, Miss Lan Er is just a companion, and you don't have to wait with me to drink.", paused and said, "I really regard Miss Lan Er as a heroine, and I don't mean to take it lightly, please forgive me!", he bowed his hand a few times, and his attitude was very sincere.
Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao also accompanied the smiling faces, for fear of offending this living treasure, they couldn't beat or scold, and they couldn't play and joke, their hearts were indescribably aggrieved, and their laughter was terrifying.
Three men and a woman are drinking, and they are a woman in the boudoir, and outsiders look like strangers. In fact, they are very clear to each other, but no one wants to pierce this layer of window paper. Lan Tingmei just raised her glass and took a few sips, she had to stay reserved, for fear that she would lose her demeanor if she drank too much, especially when she had something on her mind.
Tang Tong drank happily with Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao, and just touched the wine glass to Lan Tingmei, regardless of whether she drank it or not. Talking about the imminent separation, asking about the relationship between the other party's military camps and customs, Lan Tingmei couldn't interject for a while, but when she was an audience, she listened very attentively and smiled from time to time.
Lan Tingmei finally couldn't help it, and asked a little impatiently: "You can't go out and stay, can't you be together, why complain here?".
The three of them were drinking happily, and they didn't think that Lan Tingmei would say this, and they didn't know how to answer for a while. Tang Tong came back to his senses first, "I heard that your cousin Yao is worried, why should I wait!".
Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao nodded after hearing this, and Yang Weibiao had a topic, "That's right!" We also did our best to have less porridge and more people, and the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion didn't help, but what could it be!".
At this juncture, Lan Tingmei didn't care about it, and said a little ostentatiously: "I have a deputy thousand general quota here, I wonder if Brother Tang is interested?", his eyes stared at Tang Tong to see how he reacted.
Tang Tong was like a mirror in his heart, this was just that she didn't know what was going on, and she must go through Yunyang Hou Lanchou, and the fresh daylily would also be pinched." I've been a thousand presidents for a long time, and I have to be at least a lieutenant when I go back to Xuanfu, thank you!".
Lan Tingmei was even more anxious when she heard this, and asked sharply: "This is the capital, can the Xuanfu be compared?" Can't you do it first and then talk about it!", the tone was very heavy, just to ask Tang Tong to agree, and looked at him with blank eyes.
Seeing that the prevarication could not be done, Tang Tong insisted on his position and replied stubbornly: "I really don't need to, this is not what I think, I want face, understand?", and then congratulated him a few times, which is considered to be a thank you for your help.
Lan Tingmei didn't expect that she had worked hard, and others couldn't ask for it, so this person didn't cherish it and wasted her heart. Angrily take a glass of wine and drink it dry. Tang Tong raised a glass of wine and said gratefully, "I'll accompany Miss Lan Er!"
Putting down the wine glass, Tang Tong sighed, "If I guessed correctly, this position Yunyang Marquis didn't know that it was given to me, Miss Lan Er bothered, thank you!.", the implication is unclear, this matter will not work.
Lan Tingmei didn't expect Tang Tong to know so deeply, it was indeed forced by herself, but she didn't believe that her father would lose his words. asked confidently: "If it weren't for what you said, even if you promised me.", staring at Tang Tong to respond.
Tang Tong nodded in response, raising a glass of wine, "Okay!" I toast you! You are free!", said dry, Lan Tingmei's heart became happy, followed by the drink, and also lit up the side of the cup to Tang Tong.
Tang Tong and Lan Tingmei's questions and answers, echoing back and forth, Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao saw it in their eyes, but they didn't want to point it out. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Yang Weibei also raised his glass, "Count me and Brother Zhang together, let's do it together!", immediately finished a drink, and Zhang Yicheng followed suit. Refreshed and in a happy mood, Lan Tingmei actually let go and drank seven or eight cups in a row.
Taking advantage of the excitement to drink, Tang Tong hurriedly persuaded: "It's not that I don't give you wine, I'm afraid that if I go back with a body of alcohol, the Marquis of Yunyang will blame, it's better to stop drinking!", quickly snatched Lan Tingmei's wine glass, beckoned Dou Erniang, Lu Jinlian and Feng Susu hugged her, and left the banquet after a good meal, Lan Tingmei still didn't let go..
Sending Lan Tingmei to the carriage of the Tang Mansion, letting Lu Jinlian and Feng Susu send each other, watching the carriage leave, Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao kept shaking their heads, Yang Weibiao sneered: "Brother Tang! It's a blessing, Miss Lan Er has taken a fancy to you.".
Tang Tong shook his head at a loss, "I hope she doesn't mention it to Yunyang Hou, it will be difficult to go out again. But it's just right, it's a little trouble, our brothers are so happy!", said and turned to a smile and beckoned to the two, "Our brother will continue to drink, okay?", this is exactly what Zhang Yicheng and Yang Weibiao wanted, nodded and agreed, and the three of them walked quickly into the courtyard.
