Fortunate Young Gentleman

"Forget it." Tang Ning waved his hand and turned to walk outside.

The shop was not sold out, Tang Ning just said later that if she wanted it, he would give it to her, and if she didn't want it, forget it.

"Wait a minute." Princess Anyang hurriedly stopped him and asked uncertainly: "Are you really giving it to me?"

Tang Ning looked at her and asked: "Do you want it or not?"

Princess Anyang nodded and said: "Yes, why not?"

Tang Ning looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Give the shop deed to the princess."

After a while, Princess Anyang held the shop deed of the rouge shop in her hand, and still felt a little unreal.

She looked at the maid beside her and said: "Pin'er, pinch me."

The maid immediately lowered her head, shook her head, and said: "I dare not."

Princess Anyang pinched herself, and a red mark immediately appeared on her arm.

She finally confirmed something and said, "It seems that I am not dreaming, but he is crazy."

She just went out to buy a box of rouge, but someone gave her a whole rouge shop.

Princess Anyang put away the shop deed and wondered, "Why did he give me such a big gift?"

The maid named Pin'er thought for a while and said, "Maybe, maybe he really likes the princess, how could someone just give someone a shop?"

Princess Anyang wondered, "But why is it a rouge shop?"

Pin'er thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he means that the princess is as beautiful as rouge..."

Princess Anyang said, "You mean, he likes me?"

Pin'er scratched her head and said, "If it wasn't for this, why did he give the princess such a valuable thing? ? "

Princess Anyang waved her hands and said, "But what does he like about me? He has so many wives at home, I can't compare to them..."

Pin'er looked at her and said, "Even if the princess can't compare to them in other aspects, there is one thing that none of them can compare to the princess..."

Pin'er said proudly, "They are not as easy to give birth as the princess. So many wives don't have children. If it were the princess, she might have already..."

Princess Anyang said angrily, "Shut up!"

...

Tang Ning sent Princess Anyang to the rouge shop just because he met her there.

If the place where the two met was a bookstore, he would send her to the bookstore. If the place where the two met was a restaurant, he would send her to the restaurant. That's all.

The Tang family's shops in the capital should be sold out first, but they can't be too ostentatious and attract attention. The next batch will be sold in a few months.

In fact, Tang Ning had no idea that he would leave soon.

Although Emperor Chen acquiesced to his relationship with Zhao Man, the premise of all this was that he was still in Chen State and served Emperor Chen. Once he wanted to take Zhao Man away from Chen State, and they were entangled to the end of the world, Emperor Chen would definitely break up the couple again.

That's why he wanted Xiaoru and Xiaoyi to leave in advance, and it would be best if they took their father-in-law and mother-in-law with them, so that he would have no worries.

It's a pity that this matter has not taken the first step so far, and it can only be considered in the long run.

When Tang Ning returned home, he saw Tang Shui was there too.

Under the request of many small countries in the Western Regions, the court finally compromised and rescued the people in the Western Regions who were trafficked to the capital by those people. People from other small countries would be sent to their respective countries, and the people of Xiaowan would be used to exchange for the captives captured by Xiaowan in Chen State.

In this way, Tang Shui's wish was also fulfilled.

Tang Ning walked into the courtyard, looked at her, and asked, "When are you going to leave?"

Tang Shui said, "Three days later."

Tang Ning was surprised and said, "So soon, won't you wait until the end of the Chinese New Year?"

Tang Shui said, "One month earlier or later, it doesn't make any difference."

She had been separated from her parents for so many years, and now she didn't even know whether they were alive or dead. Tang Ning could understand her eagerness to go to the Western Regions.

However, a quarter of an hour later, he stood in the courtyard, looked at Tang Yu in surprise, and asked, "Are you going to the Western Regions too?"

Tang Yu nodded and said, "It's boring to stay at home. I want to go out with Shui'er."

Although Xiaoru, Xiaoyi and Tang Yaoyao were all very filial, there was a fact that Tang Shui was raised by her since she was a child. She had always regarded Tang Shui as her daughter and daughter-in-law. This feeling lasted for more than 20 years, and no one could replace it, not even Tang Ning.

The Western Regions were very chaotic. If it wasn't necessary, Tang Ning didn't even want Tang Shui to go.

But he knew very well that both of them had reasons to go.

Tang Ning never made decisions for them. He thought about it and nodded, saying, "I will arrange for someone to protect you along the way."

After learning about this, Tang Shui looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you crazy? How can you let my aunt go with me?"

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "How about you go and persuade mother?"

Tang Shui glanced at him and said, "If she was so easy to persuade, where would you be now?"

Tang Ning sighed and said helplessly, "I'll leave mother to you along the way."

Tang Shui said, "You don't need to tell me about this."

Tang Ning said, "I will select two thousand Beggars' Sect disciples, disguise them as a caravan, and go with you."

Some small countries in the Western Regions have only hundreds or thousands of people. Two thousand Beggars' Sect disciples can already destroy a small or medium-sized country. With firearms, as long as they don't go to war with Xiao Wan head-on, there won't be any major mistakes.

Besides, Tang Shui went to Xiaowan to look for relatives, not to fight, so these firearms were not needed at all.

When they set out from the capital, there were only 500 people accompanying them. When they passed through various prefectures along the way, they transferred some people from the branch rudders.

In the past few years, Liu Laoer and others have been implementing the teachings of the Beggars' Gang. In every prefecture of the Chen Kingdom, there are beggars wherever there are people. Today, the Beggars' Gang has become the world's largest gang.

…

Three days later, Tang Ning stood outside the city gate, looked at Tang Shui, and said, "Take good care of mother."

Tang Shui rode on the horse, waved to him, and said, "We are leaving."

Princess Anyang stood beside Tang Ning, waved to her, watched the group go away, turned to look at Tang Ning, and asked, "Are you really giving me that shop? You won't take it back?"

Tang Ning asked, "Do I look like someone who goes back on his word?"

Princess Anyang continued to ask, "But why did you give it to me?"

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Do you know why Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching?"

Princess Anyang glanced at him and said, "Because I want to, is it your business?"

"…"

Women are really troublesome animals. Tang Ning regretted his unnecessary actions that day.

Since she insisted on a reason, Tang Ning would just give her one.

He looked at Princess Anyang and said, "To be honest, I actually have something to ask of you."

"If you are too nice to me, you are either a traitor or a thief. I know you must have something to ask of me." Princess Anyang looked like she knew everything and said, "Tell me what it is."

Tang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I want you..."

"Don't even think about it!" Princess Anyang looked at him, her face blushing, and angrily said, "Who do you think I am, Anyang!"

"I want you to tell Xiao Man a message for me. She hasn't left the palace for several days..." Tang Ning looked at Princess Anyang, whose face was flushed, and asked, "Why, is this embarrassing for you, Princess?"
