Fortunate Young Gentleman

At the end of the third year of Dingyuan, the capital was not peaceful.

The prince rebelled, the prime minister was assassinated, these things had not happened in the capital for decades. In the past two years, the national strength of Chen State has been growing day by day, the south of the Yangtze River has been pacified, the grasslands have been settled, and the unstable factors at home and abroad have gradually become stable.

Even His Majesty has to offer sacrifices to the heaven to show his merits, which shows that Chen State is thriving and prosperous. However, the things that happened one after another were like slaps in his face one after another.

In these days, many people died in the capital. The largest vegetable market in the city was always filled with a faint bloody atmosphere that could not be washed away.

When the people looked up at the sky, they even felt that there were countless dead souls floating in the sky of the capital.

However, the people were forgetful. The end of the year was approaching, which was a major event for everyone, especially after the time entered the twelfth lunar month, the whole capital began to revive and boil.

In the past half month, the Ministry of Households has counted all the Western Regions population in the capital. No matter they are slaves or maids in wealthy families or concubines in powerful families, as long as they are willing, they can regain their freedom and be escorted by the court to return to the Western Regions.

This matter was carried out under the pressure of many small countries in the Western Regions. The powerful and wealthy businessmen in the capital were very cooperative and rarely voiced opposition.

There were voices of opposition at the beginning, but later those families were raided by the imperial guards, and no one objected.

Your Majesty has been very murderous recently, especially after King Kang rebelled and the Right Encounter was assassinated. This is something that everyone has seen. In the past two years, nearly 30% of the powerful families in the capital have been reduced. The remaining families have also sensed the danger and behaved with their tails between their legs, not daring to disobey.

Of course, some people from the Western Regions, mostly women from the Western Regions, have a very comfortable life in the capital. They are not willing to change their current lives and are willing to stay in the capital, and the court has not forced them.

During this period, Emperor Chen's attendance at court was significantly less, and the number of memorials sent to the Ministry of Shangshu every day was also reduced again and again.

This increased the difficulty of the Ministry of Shangshu's work. Tang Ning spent every day in a busy schedule. After the New Year, there was only less than half a year left before the three-year period.

It was at this time that Tang Ning received a letter from Li Tianlan.

The content of the letter surprised him. Xiaoxiao and the old beggar actually came to Chu State and met her. They now live in the former Prince Xin's Mansion, which is now the Princess' Mansion.

It was not until now that Tang Ning understood why the old beggar and Xiaoxiao had no news for so long.

She wrote this letter to invite Xiaoru and Xiaoyi to visit Chu State. Although the letter did not say it, Tang Ning knew very well that she was reminding him that their three-year period was about to end.

Letting Xiaoru and Xiaoyi go to Chu State now is undoubtedly the most appropriate choice, because Tang Ning will also leave Chen State in half a year at least and a year at most.

What he had to do now was to wait for Su Mei to come back, and then take them and Zhao Man away together.

For him, there were two places that were absolutely safe.

The first was the grassland, and the second was Chu.

He had already begun to make arrangements in the grassland, where Xiao Manniu was, so he could put aside all his worries.

Although Li Tianlan could not cover the sky with one hand in Chu, as the eldest princess, Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi would not be bullied if they went there.

Perhaps they could stay in Chu for a while, and then go to the grassland together. After all, the matter of the father-in-law in Chu had not been resolved, and he would definitely go to Chu in the future.

Tang Ning had almost finalized the plan, but he did not expect to be opposed by Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi.

"Wherever my husband is, I will be there." Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "If we want to go, we will go together, and if we want to stay, we will stay together."

Although Su Ru did not speak, she took Zhong Yi's hand, indicating that she would stand on Zhong Yi's side.

"Well..." They disagreed, and Tang Ning could only compromise temporarily.

Anyway, it's still early now, and it won't be too late to talk about it after the New Year.

However, this letter from Chu still reminded him deeply that the day they left was not far away.

Tang Ning had already begun to let Tang Yaoyao handle the business in the capital. The capital is different from other places. Doing business here requires a very large background, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward. In order to prevent the business in the capital from getting into trouble after they leave, Tang Ning simply asked her to gradually withdraw the business in the capital to other states. Although this will lose some profits, it also avoids possible troubles in the future.

After dinner, Tang Ning came to Xiaoru's room and saw that she was alone in the room, and slowly closed the door.

Su Ru heard the voice, looked back, blushed, and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, it's still daytime..."

"What are you thinking about..." Tang Ning came over, tapped her forehead, and said, "I'm here to talk to you about something serious..."

Su Ru looked at him and said, "I can't persuade my sister."

Tang Ning was surprised and said, "How do you know I'm going to say this?"

Su Ru said, "I'll see what Brother Xiao Ning is thinking."

It seems that it is impossible to develop Su Ru into a traitor. This matter can only be considered in the long run. Tang Ning looked at her, smiled, and said, "Then guess what I want to do now?"

Su Ru looked up at him and her face immediately blushed...

...

Mr. Lao She once said that a girl's blushing is better than a long dialogue.

The premise of this sentence is that girls don't wear makeup. If they put a thick layer of powder on their faces and then apply a layer of rouge, who knows if they blush or not.

The pursuit of rouge by women in the capital is no different from that of women who love cosmetics in later generations.

The Tang family has several rouge shops in the capital, and the business is very hot. The rouge produced by Tangrenzhai has always been in short supply.

However, even if this business is very profitable, Tang Ning still wants to sell these shops to prepare for leaving the capital in the future.

Four of the five rouge shops have been sold, and there is still one left, and the other party can't eat it.

Tang Ning sat in the back hall, drank a cup of tea, and when he was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice coming from the front.

"How much is this box of rouge?"

Tang Ning stood up and walked out, and saw Princess Anyang talking to the shopping guide girl in the rouge shop.

Tang Ning greeted her and said, "What a coincidence, Princess."

Princess Anyang looked at him and asked, "You are a grown man, why are you here in the rouge shop?"

Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "This rouge shop is originally ours, why can't I come?"

Princess Anyang looked up and saw the plaque of Tangrenzhai, then said, "I almost forgot that half of the shops on this street belong to you."

"Pack this for me first." She said to the little girl, then looked behind her The maid said, "Pin'er, pay."

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll take the princess."

"In that case..." Princess Anyang looked at him and said, "Then I have to pick a few more boxes."

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I just said this shop, the princess can pick as many boxes as she wants."

Tang Ning is a person who repays a drop of water as a spring. Princess Anyang helped him twice. Tang Ning remembered this favor. The 10,000 taels of silver and this shop are his repayment to her.

Princess Anyang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him and asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "No."

Princess Anyang thought about it, as if she realized something, took two steps back, looked at him and said, "You are not my type, we can't..."
