Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tang Yaojing's marriage was ruined by herself. In the past, the people of Lingzhou knew that the daughter of the Tang family was different from other young ladies. She didn't like poetry and songs, but only liked swords and spears.

Now they also know that the daughter of the Tang family is very violent. She caught a thief who stole ten cents and almost beat him to death.

That day, the thief's face was covered with blood, his eyes rolled back, and he foamed at the mouth. Many people on the street saw it. It was really shocking.

Of course, the inhumane behavior of the second son of the Bai family has also become the gossip in Lingzhou City in recent days.

Tang Ning didn't know whether the Bai family was affected, but since then, no matchmaker has come to the Tang family.

Tang Yaojing didn't care about it at all. She was lively every day, and her movements of climbing over the wall became more skillful and varied.

When she understood the several sets of mental methods, taught him and told him to practice diligently after leaving Lingzhou, Tang Ning realized that tomorrow was New Year's Eve.

He brought a jar of wine and handed it to the old beggar again, looking at him and said: "Senior, please prepare yourself. We will set off in two days."

"I only bring a wine gourd. There is nothing to prepare." The old beggar took the jar of wine and said apologetically: "I am so sorry. I have to trouble you on the way."

"No trouble." Tang Ning waved his hand and said: "I have not repaid you for the secret book. This is what I should do."

Although the third uncle did not know why Tang Ning took the old beggar with him to the capital, he knew that Tang Ning must have his intentions, and his attitude towards the old beggar became better. The direct expression was to give him a tray of buns for free every day.

Uncle San patted his shoulder and said, "Do your best in the exam. When you come back with the top scorer, I will change the name of the shop to "Top Scholar Baozi Shop" and the business will be good."

Aunt San rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at how capable you are. You still call it "Top Scholar Baozi Shop". It was Xiao Ning who got the top scorer, not you. Why are you so proud?"

Uncle San curled his lips and said, "We are all family. Why do we care about these things?"

Tang Ning smiled and looked at them and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Uncle San and Aunt San should come over tonight. Let's get together and have some fun."

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the emphasis is on a reunion. Xiao Ru was forced to stay at home by her mother-in-law, so only Uncle San and Aunt San were left. When Tang Ning came out, her mother-in-law specifically told him to invite Uncle San and Aunt San to come over tomorrow night.

"Okay!" Uncle San nodded happily, turned to look at Zheng the Butcher and said, "Old Zheng, remember to save a few pounds of lean meat tomorrow, pure lean, fresh, for making dumplings."

Zheng the Butcher waved his hand and said, "I'll save it for you, remember to come and get it before tonight."

Tang Ning looked at the old beggar again and said, "Senior, tomorrow night you..."

The old beggar waved his hand and said, "I won't join in the fun, tomorrow night I will spend it with Liu Laoer and the others."

Because of Tang Ning, Liu Laoer and the others are now respectful to the old beggar. In the Beggars' Sect, he has become the first person under Tang Ning.

A few days ago, he taught Liu Laoer and the others a set of joint attack techniques, which can be practiced by four to ten beggars. It is said that after practicing proficiently, ten people can form a formation and deal with ordinary small masters.

This was exactly what Tang Ning wanted. Although the Beggars' Sect had many people and could win a fight by sheer numbers, it would be difficult to manage if it was always just a mob, and it would not be able to accomplish anything.

He had already told Liu Laoer not to recruit all the beggars at once, but to set rules for them. The Beggars' Sect did not want lazy people who were lazy and did not know the rules, nor did it want troublemakers who did not know the rules. Ren Pingsheng, as Liu Laoer's assistant, was not only a great actor, but also had a higher level of thinking than ordinary beggars. Tang Ning entrusted him with the important task of unifying thoughts and helping the Beggars' Sect disciples establish a correct outlook on life and values.

By now, most of the beggars in Lingzhou City had been recruited by them. After this year, they would gradually expand outside the city.

…

This was Tang Ning's first year in this world. After today, he would stay in Lingzhou for at most two more days before setting off for the capital.

Before night, the mansion was already decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the maids and servants were busy going back and forth.

Fairy Tang is also spending New Year's Eve at the Zhong Mansion tonight. Before Tang Ning came here, this was already an annual tradition for the Tang and Zhong families.

Father-in-law and Mr. Tang were playing chess in the study. Tang Ning only found out today that Mr. Tang, although he looked like a nouveau riche, seemed to have studied before. Later, for some reason, he gave up studying and went into business. In less than 20 years, he built up the current family business of the Tang family.

In the study, Tang Ji placed a chess piece and asked casually, "When will your son-in-law leave?"

"In two days." Zhong Mingli replied. After placing the piece, he took a sip of tea while Tang Ji was thinking and asked casually, "Has Yaoyao's marriage not been decided yet?"

Tang Caizhu shook his head and said, "Never mind, let her decide Yaoyao's marriage herself."

Zhong Mingli put down the teacup and said, "I know you love her, but marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. Yaoyao is not young anymore. If you, as a father, don't think about her, how can you expect others to think about her?"

Tang Caizhu smiled and stopped talking about this topic. He said, "Your son-in-law is a state champion and was awarded by His Majesty himself. This time he goes to Beijing, he will definitely pass the imperial examination, right?"

Zhong Mingli nodded and said: "The provincial examination has not started yet, and the results are not expected, but I know his ability very well. It is not a big problem to get a Jinshi."

Rich Man Tang looked at him and asked: "So, after he leaves this time, it is unlikely that he will return to Lingzhou?"

Zhong Mingli shook his head and said: "Even if he is awarded an official, he will have a long enough vacation. He can come back and stay for at least half a year."

"That's it..." Mr. Tang's face looked a little disappointed and he waved his hand, "Stop talking about this, let's play chess..."

Zhong Mingli dropped another chess piece and asked, "What do you think about Yaoyao's marriage?"

…

Today, my mother-in-law cooks by herself, and my third aunt and the cook are in the kitchen helping her prepare the ingredients for the evening.

Su Ru and Zhong Yi were outside making dumplings, while Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao were helping. Although Tang Yaoyao was not good at cooking, her hands-on skills were not limited. Among the others, she made the most beautiful dumplings.

This was probably the most lively New Year's Eve that Tang Ning had ever had in her entire life.

At a large table, Chen Yuxian looked at everyone and said with a smile: "We are all one family, you are welcome tonight..."

Tang Ning knew that her mother-in-law liked to have fun, and what she cared about the most on weekdays was whether her father-in-law would come back for dinner. This kind of happy reunion scene was her favorite.

Sooner or later, Xiao Ru will become a family, so it's okay to say so. Forget about Tang Yaojing, whoever is a family with her will never have peace in his life.

After New Year's Eve, people generally didn't go out on the first day of the new year. Tangning spent a day with Zhong Yi and Su Ru at home. On the second day of the second year, their mother-in-law took them to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, and he accompanied them throughout the whole process.

The third day of the new year was the day he set off.

This trip to the capital was accompanied by Peng Chen in addition to the old beggar. Ever since he accidentally saw the old beggar show his hand, Peng Chen had no objections to this business trip.

Zhong Mingli was exhorting Peng Chen, and Chen Yuxian stepped forward and told Tang Ning: "Be careful when going out, try to take the official road, stay in a hotel at night, and be careful. When you arrive in the capital, write home immediately. letter……"

Tangning smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, I understand."

Chen Yuxian nodded, looked at Zhong Yi and Su Ru again, turned and backed away.

Zhong Yi looked at him with some worry in his eyes and said softly: "Be careful along the way."

Su Ru handed him a bag and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, I've packed the clothes and things you'll need on the road and put them in it."

Tangning looked at them, took their hands, held them together, and said, "Wait for my good news."

Fang Xiaopang ran over from behind. The two women's faces turned red and they immediately let go of his hands.

Fang Xiaopang put a big baggage into his hand and said, "Take these with you and eat them on the way."

The burden was bigger than what Su Ru packed. Tang Ning looked at her and touched her head. The fat Fang in front of him was no longer the chubby girl who fought with him for the last piece of cake.

Tang Yaoyao was the last one to step forward, took out a sign from her arms and threw it to him, saying, "Our family also has a shop in the capital. No matter what happens, you can go to them with this sign."

After she finished speaking, she took another step forward and whispered: "When you go to the capital, you have to control yourself and don't mess around with others - I said this for the two of them."

Tangning glanced at her and whispered, "Do I look like a philanderer?"

Tang Yaoyao nodded: "Like."

It's true that the princess is not in a hurry, but the palace maid is. Tangning looked at her, then turned to look at everyone, and waved her hand: "Let's go..."

"Goodbye!" Fang Xiaopang waved to him vigorously.

Tangning opened the car curtain and looked in a certain direction until those figures completely disappeared from his sight.

He lowered the car curtain, sighed, and murmured: "The capital..."
