Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 195 Horse Racing
"Third sister, since we are going to race horses, wouldn't it be fun to invite eldest brother, fourth brother and cousin to join us."

As Tang Wenhong grew up, he cared for his sister very much under the influence of Tang Sanye and his wife. As long as the demands were not excessive, Tang Wenhong would not refuse his sister.

Tang Bingyu was still thinking about what reason to invite her eldest cousin. When she felt sleepy, someone would hand her a pillow. "My eldest brother has been away from home for many years, and we haven't played together for a long time. Please ask your eldest brother if he has time to go with us when he takes a bath."

Tang Wenhong didn't realize there was any problem. He was very happy to compete with his brother in riding skills and happily invited everyone.

Tang Bingyu had already inquired about his eldest cousin's itinerary, and three days later Xiu Mu happened to have no important business to go out.

Soon Tang Bingyu got the news from his younger brother Tang Wenhong. His eldest brother and Tang Wenzhu agreed to go, but his cousin from the Yuan family had something to do and couldn't go.

Yuan Bozheng was a scholar who came from the imperial examination. Although the second son of his family had practiced martial arts with his uncle's cousins ​​since childhood, he still preferred that the Yuan brothers study and take the imperial examination like him.

Therefore, compared to Tang Wenzhu and Tang Wenhong, who are about the same age, the Yuan brothers' reading homework is more difficult.

Now, the Yuan brothers are ten years old and can take care of themselves. Yuan Bozheng hopes that they can go to the academy to study.

The cousin of the Yuan family will go to visit a gentleman from Yunshan Academy with his uncle Yuan Bozheng in three days. It is a pity that he cannot go horse racing with his cousins.

Tang Wensong was even older than Zhijiang Shuhuai, so the Duke of Rongguo scheduled the marriage of Tang Wensong and Wang Shen for next month.

"Sister, come and sit with me."

However, Wang Shen's shy look only lasted for a moment, and he soon returned to his former self, and he behaved freely and informally as a woman at the border gate.

Originally, according to the rules, Wang Shen should stay at home to show off her dowry at this time, but her future cousin-in-law posted an invitation, so since Wang Shen was not a lady from Kyoto, she naturally had no worries.

The only unmarried sisters in Duke Rong's mansion are Tang Bingyu and Tang Bingyan. With Tang Bingyu here, Tang Bingyan will naturally not be left behind.

Tang Bingyu warmly invited him, because the seat next to him belonged to his eldest brother Tang Wensong, so the two of them could sit together.

"Sister Bingyan looks so beautiful today, like a flower fairy."

Wang Shen had lived in Kyoto for two years and didn't have many friends. Because of Tang Bingxuan's relationship with her stepmother, Princess Ruhua, she was familiar with several young ladies from the Rongguo Duke's palace.

Tang Bingyu curled her lips when she heard the titles of eldest brother and future sister-in-law. She remembered that before her eldest sister got married, they called her eldest brother-in-law so intimately.

Tang Wensong glanced at his smiling and sly cousin, then moved forward to greet his fiancée.

"Hello, sister Sheng." Tang Bingyan stood up happily and came over to help Wang Shen.

Tang Bingyu and Wang Shen were both going to compete, so they wore riding outfits. Wang Shen wore a bright red color, while Tang Bingyu wore a pink and goose-yellow outfit.

"Thank you, Prince Tang."

When Wang Shen arrived at the outskirts of Beijing according to Tang Bingyu's post, she saw her fiancé Tang Wensong, and her face instantly turned red and hot.

Tang Bingyan doesn't like horse riding, but she likes to watch other people competing on horseback. Of course, her main priority is to look good when she wears clothes. When Wang Shen praised her when she met her, she felt that her future sister-in-law was easy to get along with and had good taste.

"Miss Wang, please come this way." Tang Wensong naturally and politely invited Wang Shen to the seat to rest for a while.

"Sister Yi is even more radiant today."

Wang Shen had been raised in Kyoto for a long time, and her skin color was still slightly yellow, leaning toward a healthy wheat complexion. Her body was straight and strong, and her bright red riding outfit not only couldn't hide her brilliance, but also complemented her heroic appearance.

Tang Bingyu eagerly greeted the two of them to sit down, "You two are as beautiful as flowers, come here quickly, big brother and the others are about to start." Tang Bingyan sat on the left side of Tang Bingyu, and Wang Shen sat on the right side of Tang Bingyu, leaving Tang Bingyu behind. highlighted.

The group of them chose a merchant horse farm, and happened to meet two groups who wanted to race horses. The children of the big families in Kyoto were basically acquaintances, so they just arranged to compete together.

"Third sister, who is that person walking shoulder to shoulder with eldest brother?"

Tang Bingyu and Wang Shen both squinted their eyes and looked into the distance, trying to see clearly the capable person Tang Bingyan mentioned. After all, Tang Wensong himself was an excellent horseman, and he was a powerful person to be able to keep pace with him.

Tang Bingyu looked at it carefully and guessed: "Looking at the clothes, he looks like Qiao Zhensheng, the eldest son of Duke Cheng."

"Isn't that the eldest brother-in-law's cousin?"

Wang Shen's ancestor worked in Kyoto, but he only came back after spending decades at the border. He is an outsider. He really doesn't know the prince Chengguo, but has only heard of his name.

Qiao Zhensheng, the eldest son of Duke Chengguo, became famous at a young age. After Tang Wensong passed the imperial examination, he followed in his footsteps and participated in the next session, winning the top prize in martial arts that year.

Prince Qiao is in his early twenties and is now a second-rank official in the Military Governor's Mansion. He can be called a general.

Although it had only been more than two years since Qiao Zhensheng had passed the martial arts examination and had never gone to the border to practice, he was naturally more important under the eyes of Emperor Ling of Kyoto.

Every family in Kyoto appreciates the achievements of the crown prince of Chengguo Palace, and of course they want to marry such an outstanding son.

The most criticized thing about Prince Qiao is that he has not yet married and had children in his twenties. Hearing that Lady Cai, the wife of Duke Cheng Guo, would reprimand her son every few days because of this, but the result was little effect.

Logically speaking, the eldest son of the family should marry and have children to continue the heirs when he reaches his age. However, I heard that Duke Cheng Guo was of the same mind as Qiao Shizi and his son, and the position of the prince's wife had been vacant for many years.

The sky was just right that day, so Tang Bingxuan brought the twins to the yard to exercise, and saw Jiang Shunian strolling into the yard.

Although Jiang Shunian's expression was still as gentle and smiling as before, Tang Bingxuan felt that something big had happened.

The couple looked at each other and tacitly agreed to leave the children to the nanny, and they went into the inner room to talk intimately.

When the servants in the room retreated, Jiang Shunian immediately frowned and explained the situation directly to his wife.

"Today, during the morning pilgrimage, His Majesty stepped down and fell down the steps after retreating from the court. The princes, ministers and servants were unable to save him. His Majesty's head hit the ground and he was bleeding immediately."

Tang Bingxuan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, "Is there something serious about Your Majesty?"

Emperor Ling was nearly forty years old, and his bones were originally very healthy. If the accident caused fundamental damage, it would not be a good thing for everyone in the Ling Kingdom.

"All the doctors from the Imperial Hospital gathered in the Holy Sage's chamber. Judging from the pulse, the injury is not serious, but the Holy Sage has been unconscious."

It's not a good thing that Emperor Ling is unconscious. "What do the palace say about the important matters in the court?"

"Now in the palace, Empress Dowager Cai and Concubine Cai's aunt and nephew are competing with Empress Qin. There should be news tomorrow."

Tang Bingxuan has lived a stable life for several years, thinking that now that she is healthy, her family can still be happy and happy for more than ten years.

"What are your plans?"

Now this is the critical moment of turmoil in Kyoto. A single move can affect the whole body. Jiang Shunian does not dare to take risks easily for the sake of his family.
