Fortunate Young Gentleman

Although Runzhou experienced the rebellion, after the chaos was quelled and calm returned, Runzhou is still the economic center of Jiangnan and the most prosperous place in the entire southeast.

In Runzhou City, in front of an ordinary courtyard.

"I want it too, I want it too!"

"And I……"

…

Five or six children gathered around the woman in white, scrambling to stretch out their hands. The woman in white put the candy in their palms, watched them disperse in a hurry, and stood quietly, with a touching expression on their faces. smile.

At a certain moment, the smile on her face suddenly froze, she turned around quickly and ran towards the yard as if she was running away.

Tang Ning stood not far away, looking at Tang Shui who was about to run away, and asked helplessly: "Am I so scary?"

Tang Shui stiffened and turned to look at Tang Ning with a smile on his face, "Why are you here..."

Tang Ning said, "I came to see my parents, but it's a pity that they have already left."

Tang Shui lowered his head and said, "They said they wanted to visit everywhere and go back in two years."

Tang Ning nodded, indicating that she understood. Then she looked at Tang Shui in surprise and asked, "Okay, why are you blushing?"

Tang Shui glanced at him and felt slightly annoyed. If she hadn't been avoiding him, why would she have come to Jiangnan? When she saw Tang Ning, she would think of their engagement. She still didn't know how to deal with this matter. Now You can't even hide from him.

Tang Shui looked at him angrily and was about to speak when the door on the other side suddenly opened and a middle-aged man walked out.

When Tang Jing saw the figure opposite Tang Shui, his body trembled and a complex look appeared on his face.

Tangning looked at him, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Uncle."

Tang Jing turned around and walked into the house and said, "Come in and talk."

In the room, Tang Jing took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard something happened in the capital."

Tang Ning put down her teacup and said, "King Huai rebelled. Your Majesty made King Run the crown prince and asked him to manage the government on his behalf..."

After hearing what happened in the capital these days, Tang Jing was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "The causes of the past, the consequences of today, the sins committed back then will eventually be repaid..."

Although Tang Ning and Tang Jing have a certain blood relationship, there is still some indelible unfamiliarity between them due to their experiences.

Before finishing the cup of tea, he said goodbye.

Tang Jing glanced at Tang Shui, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Shui'er, go see him off."

"Oh..." Tang Shui responded and stood up reluctantly.

…

On the streets of Runzhou City, Tang Shui and Tang Ning were walking one behind the other.

Tang Ning looked up at Tang Shui who was just walking in front of him. He didn't know whether he was sending her away or she was sending him away. However, he also knew that after her identity was revealed, the relationship between the two would never go back to the past. He just followed her silently without saying a word.

Tang Shui himself remained silent. Along the way, when he found that Tang Ning didn't say a word, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

This matter is between the two of them. Should she, a woman, be asked to speak?

In her heart, a voice suddenly came from the street.

"The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty. Reading makes people wise, so you should read more, read more newspapers, eat less snacks and sleep more, and become a useful person to the country in the future..."

Tang Shui and Tang Ning looked over at the same time, and saw that somewhere on the street corner, several young people were surrounding a young man, laughing at something.

A young man laughed twice and asked, "You have read a lot and are so good. Why don't you take the top exam?"

"The number one scholar?" A trace of disdain appeared on the young man's face, and he said, "In the past, even the number one scholar had to call me young master when he saw me..."

At this time, a girl dressed as a maid came out of the nearby shop, glanced at the young man, and cursed: "Xiao Tang, you are talking nonsense again, why don't you help me get something!"

The young man immediately retracted his head and said: "Sister Xiaocui, here we come..."

This scene caused another burst of laughter among the young people, and the surrounding atmosphere was filled with joy.

After the Tang family was raided and executed, Tang Zhao disappeared, and the court has not found him yet. Compared to before, he has changed so much. Even Tang Ning can't compare the young man just now with that young man. The dandies who can be named in the capital are connected together.

Tang Shui looked at the young man who left behind the pretty maid and said, "It's good for him to be like this."

Tang Ning couldn't deny that in many cases, it was better to be an ordinary person and live a stable life when one was born into a wealthy family or into a powerful family. Many ordinary people yearned for the life of the powerful, but they didn't know that more and more people would live a stable life. Being in the upper-class circles, the turmoil became more serious. The powerful and powerful families they envied did not even have the chance to choose to be ordinary people, so the whole family disappeared from people's sight.

After breaking the silence, the tension between the two seemed to have eased a bit.

Tang Shui glanced at him and asked, "Where to go next?"

Tang Ning said: "I should go back to Guizhou..."

Tang Shui asked: "Where is the Western Region?"

Tangning waved her hand and said, "There's nothing major going on in the Western Region. They can just handle it themselves..."

He thought for a while, then looked at Tang Shui and said, "The Western Region should be yours, how about you take care of it..."

Tang Shui glanced at him and said calmly: "Not interested."

After saying this, she just lowered her head and walked, but in her heart she was blaming Tang Ning. It's already now, how long does he want to play dumb?

When this thought came to her mind, she suddenly realized that she was actually looking forward to Tang Ning saying something in person.

And among the words she expected him to say, there was only one possibility.

Tang Shui was shocked. She didn't know when her feelings for him had changed so much.

This made her feel embarrassed and annoyed, and she was also a little flustered. She just kept her head down and didn't notice that a carriage was galloping in front of her.

"Look at the road!"

Seeing that the carriage was coming without slowing down and was about to hit Tang Shui, Tang Ning quickly reached out and grabbed her hand, saying, "What are you thinking about? You don't even look at the road!"

After saying that, he wanted to pull his hand back, but found that his hand was tightly held by her.

Tang Shui raised his head, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "What are you going to do about our affairs?"

Tang Ning asked in confusion, "What about us?"

"Stop pretending!" Tang Shui glared at him and said, "About the engagement."

Tang Ning looked at her, unable to figure out what she was thinking. After thinking for a long time, she asked tentatively, "Anyway, this is all about the previous generation, so why don't we just forget it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her palm. Tang Ning gasped and hurriedly said, "Be gentle, it hurts..."

Tang Shui slightly reduced the force, looked at him, and said expressionlessly, "I'll give you another chance to choose again."
