Chapter 117: The gun shoots the first bird
Running through Xizhi Street of Chongwu Gate, a group of officers and soldiers are cleaning up sludge. Not far from Chongwumen, they are lazy and can't do much work in half a day. The officers and soldiers near the Far Punishment Department are different, but they are in full swing. I really don't think it's like this, everyone is doing this, and only after comparing the two to know what is the work, it is clearly a soldier led by different generals, and it is really a soldier, and there will be a nest of bears.
A woman on horseback walked north from Chongwu Gate, but when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but shake her head at the lazy officers and soldiers. The leading military attachés were on fire when they saw it, if ordinary people had been pulled off the horse a long time ago, they would at least be humiliated, but they didn't dare, because she was the famous Miss Lan Er.
Lan Tingmei saw her brother in the distance and didn't go over. Instead, he went straight to a man whose clothes were stained and waved a wooden catalpa to fill the basket with sludge, and teased on horseback: "You can be in the limelight alone, and you will also affect many brothers, do you know what is wrong?".
The man ignored it, and quickly filled a basket. Holding the wooden catalpa with both hands, he gasped slightly and said: "If you are talking about your arrogant brother, I will allow you to take it back, don't mix with us who do dirty work.".
This was not his own meaning, Lan Tingmei felt unworthy because Tang Tong was reckless and was punished in disguise by the city gate leader, and came to comfort him, but somehow, when she saw him, she wanted to mock. didn't want to be humiliated by him, so he replied at once: "I don't know the hearts of good people!" Did I mean that?", he jumped off his horse and looked at him angrily.
Lan Tingmei at least refutes the other party a few words on weekdays, otherwise she won't be Miss Lan Er. I didn't think that I would get angry all of a sudden, and I must have been wronged somewhere. Tang Tong hurriedly put down the wooden catalpa, and apologized with a smile: "It's me who is wrong!" I saw that Lan Qian was really tired, and besides, you shouldn't stay here for a long time, and the agitation method you use really cares about you!", and was about to come to Lan Tingmei's side when he spoke.
This is a kind of heartfelt care, Lan Tingmei listened to it and felt sour in her heart. Somewhat moved, he asked, "Really?", looking at him with affection in his eyes.
"Am I the domineering person?", seeing that Lan Tingmei didn't speak again, she couldn't continue to do her job, so she had to arrange this enemy first. So he beckoned: "Let's go see your brother, I just want to compare with me, he has never done so much work.", seeing that Tang Tong was in a hurry, it must be a real thing, and he quickly followed.
Lan Tingshu really couldn't do it anymore, the speed was very slow but he was still persevering. Tang Tong walked to his side and said very carefully, "Lord Lan! Your sister has come to see you, let's rest!", I had long wanted to come over to persuade her, knowing that it would only intensify the conflict, and Lan Tingmei's arrival was a good reason, but her words still didn't work.
Lan Tingshu had already seen the two of them mingling, but he didn't see it, he was still doing his own work. Tang Tong pretended not to care about his words, and was still working silently. Lan Tingmei also saw that her brother was very tired, so she stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "Sister-in-law told you to go back, come back with me!", she grabbed her brother's hand and didn't let go.
Lan Tingshu couldn't work anymore, shook his hand and said, "She won't come by herself, when will you two get together?", obviously not believing that this matter was true, and after speaking, he found an empty space and put his butt on the ground.
"Even if it's not true, can't you go back? You haven't been home for many days, we all miss you!", Lan Tingmei's eyes were a little rosy when she said this, she was really worried about her brother.
Seeing that when Lan Tingshu came back from this vacation, there were still slight scars on his face, and the quarrel between the two husbands and wives seemed to be very serious, so he came to the barracks in anger, and out of sight was pure, so as not to quarrel again. Tang Tong is not good to wear, so I don't know. The words of the two siblings confirmed that there was really a problem between husband and wife.
Tang Tong was really embarrassed in his heart, and couldn't help but persuade; "Lord Lan, let's go back! It's your sister now, and I don't know who will come tomorrow.", I almost kowtowed.
Lan Tingmei's arrival not only affected the two of them, but also affected other people, but it was difficult to say clearly, and persuading Lan Tingshu to leave was the best way. That Zhi Lan Tingshu was not interested, "Go back when you're done, Mei'er, you go first!" It's all affecting everyone.".
Lan Tingmei didn't think about it, but when she heard her brother say this, she realized that Tang Tong was going to drive her away, so she couldn't help but lose her temper, and turned to Tang Tong and reprimanded: "It turns out that you don't want to see me, if you want me to go, just say it clearly, don't need to point at Sang and scold Huai.".
You can't admit it even if you kill it, otherwise the contradiction will intensify even more. Hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's what I mean, didn't you mention going back first?" It's all to persuade your brother, think too much!", seeing that Lan Tingmei didn't speak, she was still angry, and immediately proposed: "Why don't we go to the criminal department to drink tea and rest and rest!"
Reasonable not to hit the smiling person, Lan Tingmei had nothing to say for a while. Lan Tingshu stood up first and walked in the direction of the Criminal Department. Tang Tong looked at Lan Tingmei, stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Miss Lan!" Let's go!", Lan Tingmei saw that since it was all like this, she didn't say anything and followed.
Just opposite the Criminal Department, Jufen Tea House, go up to the second floor of the elegant seat, open the window to see the door of the Criminal Department. Jufen teahouse is still very famous, most of the officials of the criminal department talk about things here, and most people go to the teahouse, not the teahouse, and the Hou Shizi of Yunyang must drink tea to the next level. Tang Tong and Lan Tingmei delayed some time, and when they entered the private room at the same time, Lan Tingshu had already ordered the best tea and was drinking.
Tang Tong first served Lan Tingmei a cup, and then another cup for himself, he was really thirsty, so he sat down and drank it first. Look at Lan Tingmei first, and then look at Lan Tingshu, it seems that it is because he is not good at speaking. Tang Tong, who was aware of it, poured two more cups and drank them quickly, got up and said, "I forgot to explain the matter, your brother and sister are drinking, I will come when I go!", and was about to leave.
"Since I'm here, sit down, I still have something to say to Lord Tang.", Lan Tingshu stopped in time, his eyes didn't look at him.
looked at Lan Tingmei, stared at herself, and knew that she couldn't leave, so she sat down and drank it slowly with another cup of tea.
"Lord Tang is pretending to be confused, my sister has repeatedly run to the barracks, just to see you, what does Lord Tang think in his heart?", Lan Tingshu went directly to the point, which was in line with his character.
This was asked too suddenly, and Tang Tong was at a loss for a moment. reacted and replied a little embarrassedly: "I know my own conditions, Master Hou will not agree, it is better to be friends!", said with a slight smile.
In fact, he didn't answer whether he liked it or not, Lan Tingshu always thought that his sister was wishful thinking. looked at Tang Tong seriously and asked, "I still don't like it, otherwise with Lord Tang's temperament, I will definitely fight to win or lose.", and then smiled faintly.
"What if you like it, Hou Ye has a high vision, at least he is the right person, isn't it a big joke that there is a steproom?", Tang Tong said with a sneer, what he said was realistic.
"I didn't expect you to be a shrunken turtle, I misjudged you!", Lan Tingmei, who had not spoken all this time, finally couldn't help it, and looked at him angrily, Tang Tong disappointed him too much.
Lan Tingshu originally wanted to sarcastically say a few words to him, but firstly, his sister opened his mouth, and secondly, he was also a bear bag, so it was difficult to say anything. Turning his head to see how Tang Tong replied, he was too concerned.
Tang Tong didn't squeak first, lowered his head and smiled helplessly. I can't marry the Marquis of Yunyang, I'm too late to be happy! It's really making a fuss, I don't care, but it will damage Miss Lan's reputation, I can't bear it!", after speaking, there was another worried expression on his face.
This made Lan Tingshu really have nothing to say. I know my sister's character, and I will definitely make a fuss, so how will she deal with herself in the future. At this time, Lan Tingshu really admired Tang Tongtai for being able to speak, and he was not comparable at all.
Lan Tingmei, who was caught in emotion, didn't think so deeply. He stood up very proudly and said, "I'm not afraid!" As long as you dare to come to propose.", at this time she was very happy in her heart, how could she let go of such a good relationship, and it was what she longed for.
Lan Tingshu hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry! This matter can be slow, don't stumble like me.", after a period of failure, Lan Tingshu looked at things more rationally and couldn't act recklessly.
"I suggest that you let your brother tap on the side first, and then you fight to see how the military situation is?", Tang Tong said to Lan Tingmei. Now he can only stabilize Lan Tingmei, and he is very close to her when he speaks. After speaking, he also looked at Lan Tingshu, and asked him to help fan the cold wind.
Lan Tingshu seemed to understand, nodded and said, "That's a good idea!" Sister, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so let's do it first!".
Lan Tingmei could still listen to her brother's words, and Tang Tong was interested in herself, which made her feel even sweeter, so she nodded and didn't speak, and looked at Tang Tong gratefully. This made Tang Tong feel even more embarrassed, and turned his head to look out the window.
Lan Tingshu was thinking about what Tang Tong had just said, and sensed that he might be right, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The happiest person in this conversation is Lan Tingmei, who hopes that her dream will come true, and her heart is happy. Happiness always passed too fast, Tang Tong couldn't stay too long, and the three of them went down together.
Tang Tong walked in front, not wanting to just arrive at the door of Jufen Teahouse, and walked in with Ai Zheng, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. When he met him, he had to say hello, waved his hand and said, "Xia Guan has seen Master Ai!".
Ai Zheng was very impressed by Tang Tong, and he didn't expect to meet here, so he politely replied: "Lord Tang is a coincidence!", and saw that the Lan Tingshu brothers and sisters were followed behind, and they knew that they were together. By the way, he asked, "This is leaving?".
Lan Tingshu stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle Ai Shi is good!", the county lord and the Marquis of Yunyang are relatives who have not come out of the three suits, it is not wrong to call it this way, it is even closer, Lan Tingmei also followed the ceremony and shouted: "Uncle Shi!".
"The virtuous nephew is good, Lord Tang is famous, and he can learn a lot of ways to lead soldiers.", said Xiang Lan Tingshu and nodded.
"Lord Ai praises falsely, I have to learn from the little marquis first, if I have a grudge a long time ago, I will never get along with each other.", Tang Tong praised Lan Tingshu in disguise, and the three people present all understood.
Ai Zheng pointed at Tang Tong and said, "Slippery head!" Just rely on Lord Zhang's fold to ask for credit for you, the old man also has to have a copy, the military discipline is strict in the capital for many years has not been seen, worthy of the battlefield killing and leading the soldiers.", said and laughed cheerfully, it seems that out of sincerity.
"How can I do it alone, I also have the credit of Mr. Lan Qian, I hope that Lord Ai will report according to the truth.", Tang Tong said very humbly..
Hearing this, Ai Zheng nodded and looked at Tang Tong, and brought his subordinates in person, this is to win people's hearts, who listens to it and does not work hard for him, and said appreciatively: "Okay!" I'll think about it.", it's my own business to mention it, but I can't refuse it in front of people, and it doesn't fit in with people's feelings. After a pause, Ai Zheng beckoned: "I still want to see a guest, so I won't say more to you, you guys are good!", nodded and left.
The servants nodded politely and frequently, and did not leave in a hurry, looking at his back and going up to the second floor, before leaving together.
