Fortunate Young Gentleman

"The eldest master is not here, the second master is in charge of the mansion. Please wait a moment, I will go in and report now."

This young man and woman are outstanding in appearance and temperament. They are either rich or noble. The gatekeeper of the Tang Mansion did not dare to neglect them. When he was about to go back to report, he suddenly seemed to remember something, his body shook, turned around, and said in a trembling voice: "Tang, Tang Ning, which Tang Ning?"

Tang Ning looked at him and said, "It's the Tang Ning you are thinking of."

The gatekeeper's face showed disbelief when he heard it.

Everyone in the capital knows that the new champion Tang Ning has an unclear relationship with the Tang family. In recent days, the Tang family has suffered a lot at his hands. How dare he come to the Tang family at this time?

"You, wait a moment, I will report right away!" He said with a frightened expression, and ran quickly to the Tang Mansion.

When he crossed the threshold, he accidentally tripped and almost fell.

Tang Ning stood in the shade, turned to look at Tang Yaoyao, and said, "This is not a dangerous place. I can come alone. You don't have to come with me."

Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said, "Since you are here, stop talking nonsense."

Tang Ning shut up and stopped talking nonsense. Although it was in broad daylight, the Tang family could not do anything to him, but just in case, it was better to bring Tang Yaojing with him.

At the Tang Mansion, Tang Qi was also stunned for a moment after listening to the report of the doorman, and then asked, "Who did you say?"

The doorman looked up and whispered, "He said his name is Tang Ning."

"Tang Ning!" Tang Zhao slammed the table and said angrily, "He dared to come here. Today, he entered the Tang Mansion and don't think about leaving!"

Tang Qi stretched out his hand, motioning him to shut up, and then said lightly, "Tell him to wait in the side hall."

Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao didn't wait outside the door for long before the doorman came out again.

This time, the doorman's attitude towards them was obviously not as enthusiastic as before.

He glanced at Tang Ning and Tang Yaoyao, and said indifferently, "The second master has an important guest to meet. You wait in the side hall first."

Tang Ning followed the doorman into the Tang Mansion and saw a woman walking towards him.

The woman was holding an apple in her hand. When she saw him, she stopped walking and the expression on her face was no different from seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

Tang Ning walked past her, picked up the apple, took a bite, and then put it back in her hand.

He had just sat down in the side hall when Tang Shui strode in and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Tang Ning looked at her and asked in confusion, "Can't I come?"

Tang Shui was anxious and angry. This was naturally not a question of whether he could come, but how and when to come...

He didn't come when the Tang family invited him, but came when he had completely offended the Tang family and almost tore his face apart, and it was impossible to reconcile. What would the Tang family think? After doing those things that embarrassed the Tang family, he came to the Tang family to show off?

If some people get angry, he will be in danger today!

"Don't play dumb!" Tang Shui glared at him and said, "What on earth are you doing here?"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I just came here to have a cup of tea and sit for a while, but it's a pity that they didn't even give me a cup of tea."

In fact, even if the Tang family offered him tea, he wouldn't drink it. Although they wouldn't poison the tea, he wouldn't be able to tell if they spit.

Think about it from another perspective. If he was a member of the Tang family, spitting in the tea would be a minor offense.

Tang Shui looked at him helplessly and said, "They won't see you, nor will they let you see my aunt."

Tang Ning took out a set of mahjong made of thin bamboo from his arms and said, "I'm free anyway, why don't we play a few games?"

Among the people he knows now, Su Mei should be the best at playing mahjong. Although Tang Yaoyao is very accurate in betting on other things, she has almost never won at mahjong.

If the stakes are higher and they continue to play like this, Tang Ning can not only make her lose her bellyband, but also win her people.

Unfortunately, I can't win money playing mahjong with her, and I can't always win her. If she is unhappy, she will find a chance to retaliate, which is not worth the loss.

Tang Shui doesn't know how to play mahjong, so he stood by and watched for a while before joining in.

Facing two rookies, Tang Ning was invincible and won all their money in one hour.

After Tang Ning won again, Tang Shui threw the mahjong on the table and said angrily: "It's outrageous. You dare to win your sister's money!"

After that, he grabbed a handful of banknotes from Tang Ning, which was more than she took out herself.

Tang Yaoyao looked at her, took away the rest of Tang Ning's money, looked at him, and said, "This is fair."

There was no need to offend these two witches for a few hundred taels of silver. Tang Ning thought he was unlucky, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's go back."

Tang Yaoyao put the banknotes in his arms and asked, "Don't you have something else to do?"

Tang Ning said regretfully, "There's not even a cup of tea. If I don't leave now, I'll die of thirst. When you come tomorrow, remember to bring water with you."

He and Tang Yaoyao walked back to the front of the mansion and saw an old man walking in from outside.

Tang Ning glanced at the old man and suddenly asked, "Old man, does your arm still hurt?"

The old man looked down at his empty sleeves, raised his head, and said calmly, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Tang Ning asked in confusion, "How did the old man break his arm?"

"I accidentally broke it when I was fighting with someone." The old man said casually and walked past them.

Tang Ning sighed and said, "This fighting and killing is not good at all. Last year, I saw a few wild dogs fighting for food on the street. When I got closer, I found that they were fighting for an arm. The government doesn't care about these wild dogs that harm people..."

The old man paused, and clenched his fist with his only remaining arm.

…

The back hall of the Tang Mansion.

Tang Qi looked at the servant and asked, "Did they just sit in the side hall for an hour?"

"Not just sitting." The servant thought for a while and said, "They talked to the eldest lady for a long time, and then left..."

Tang Qi frowned and whispered, "What does he want to do?"

I thought he came here today to negotiate terms or make demands with the Tang family, but I didn't expect that he just sat in the side hall for an hour and left on his own.

Even though he had been in the court for many years and was best at guessing people's hearts, he had to admit that he couldn't see Tang Ning's thoughts at all.

Since he came to Beijing, everything he did would be far beyond his expectations.

The servant looked up and said nervously, "Master, when he left, he said he would come again tomorrow."

"Then let him continue to wait in the side hall." Tang Qi clenched his fist and said, "I want to see how long he can endure."

...

Tangrenzhai sold out the entire "Legend of the White Snake" two days ago, and "Baolian Lantern" was also directly released in ten volumes. In the next few days, no new volumes will be released.

Even so, there are still many customers today, most of whom did not buy after it was sold out.

"Xu Xian's family is finally reunited. Those who read it a few days ago were so distressed. I heard about the ending yesterday, so I dared to buy it today, for fear that Miss Ningning would write a tragedy."

"When has Miss Ningning ever written a tragedy? In my opinion, although the beginning of "Baolian Lantern" looks depressing, it must also have a reunion ending. Xiao Chenxiang will definitely be able to rescue his mother!"

"Hey, Xiao Chenxiang has a famous teacher to teach him and can rescue his mother, but novels are novels after all. How can there be so many reunions in real life?"

"Yes, I heard yesterday that the top scholar went to the Tang family in person and wanted to see his mother. As a result, he was sent by the Tang family to wait in the side hall for an hour. Until the end, he did not see his mother."

As soon as this was said, everyone showed surprised expressions. "Who told you that?"

"I heard from the cousin of my seventh uncle's neighbor's second aunt's daughter's uncle's uncle's cousin."

"Your seventh uncle's neighbor's second aunt's daughter's uncle's cousin?"

"Yes, my seventh uncle's... cousin is a servant in the Tang family. He saw it with his own eyes. The top scholar is really pitiful. He was ignored in the Tang family for an hour and didn't even have a cup of tea."

"The Tang family is too much. They separated their mother and son for 18 years, and now they are not even allowed to see each other. Are they still human?"

"Study hard and work hard to get the top scholar, but in the end, mother and son can't see each other. It's pitiful..."

"The Tang family has done a lot of bad things. Aren't they afraid of retribution?"

...

At the Tang family, Tang Qi took a sip of tea leisurely. After listening to the servant's report, there was no change on his face.

There is no need to worry about too much debt. Anyway, the Tang family has been scolded by the people of the capital for this matter, so they don’t mind them scolding them a few more times.

He wants to see what other tricks this new champion has besides spreading rumors and making insinuations?
