Fortunate Young Gentleman

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will win every battle.

If you want to help Tang Yaojing mess up this undecided marriage, you must first find out the details of the Bai family.

Tang Yaojing quickly helped him with this matter.

Tang Ning held a piece of paper in his hand, on which was written the information of the Bai family in Lingzhou.

The Bai family is also a merchant family in Lingzhou City. Although the family background is not as rich as the Tang family, it is also a wealthy family.

Mr. Tang has always wanted Tang Yaoyao to become a talented woman like Zhong Yi, who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can write poems and lyrics, and is well-educated and well-mannered. However, the facts are slightly different from what he imagined.

His daughter did not become a talented woman famous in Lingzhou, but became a chivalrous woman famous in Lingzhou.

A difference of one word makes a difference of a thousand miles.

A talented woman will never have trouble getting married. If there is a rumor in Lingzhou City that a daughter of a certain family is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and is not yet of marriageable age, the door of that family will be trampled by matchmakers.

A chivalrous woman cannot marry. If others hear that the young lady is not well-educated, gentle and virtuous, but chivalrous and brave, and has unparalleled martial arts, no matchmaker will be willing to go to their house.

Moreover, in this era, people pay attention to the matching of family status. A decent family will not marry the daughter of a merchant. Even a scholar with no backbone will not marry into a merchant's family.

The Tang chivalrous woman is famous. Even if the family is also a merchant, they usually curry favor with the Tang family. When this matter is mentioned, the eldest brother is still unwilling.

The Bai family intends to marry into the Tang family, only the second son of the Bai family.

This is a real warrior, no, a warrior, and it is not ruled out that he may become a martyr.

This matter has not been really settled. Tang Ning asked Liu Laoer to send someone to pay attention to the movements of the second son of the Bai family. He found that he stayed at home most of the time, occasionally went out to meet and eat with friends, did not drink, did not visit prostitutes, and did not take a group of servants to swagger around the city and bully others.

This made Tang Ning feel a little bit helpless. If the other party was a playboy or a scum, it would be fine. He could use all kinds of means without any pressure. As long as Tang Caizhu could see the other party's true face, he would definitely not push his daughter into the fire pit.

But who would have thought that the second son of the Bai family was a good boy, and his behavior could be regarded as a model of the second generation of rich people. He couldn't use dirty tricks on such a person. It seemed that he had to change his thinking.

Tang Yaoyao stood aside, looked at him and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Tang Yaoyao took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, and said, "If I can't think of a solution, I'll go out and hide for a while."

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "Where can you hide? Do you have any relatives or friends outside Lingzhou?"

"No." Tang Yaoyao shook her head, and seemed to remember something, and looked at him and said, "Aren't you going to the capital soon? I'll follow you, so that you won't encounter bandits on the road and you won't even be able to reach the capital."

Even if he encountered bandits on the road, there was still the old beggar, what kind of bandits he couldn't deal with, why did he bring Tang Yaojing with him?

Besides, he could escape for a while, but not for a lifetime. What if the rich man Tang thought that the two of them eloped, wouldn't he be unable to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River?

Thinking of this, Tang Ning looked at her and said, "I have thought of a solution."

...

A restaurant somewhere in Lingzhou

In a private room, a man looked at the young man beside him and asked, "Brother Bai, you said that your marriage is about to be decided. The rich Tang family has only one daughter. The Tang family is rich and powerful. After the rich Tang dies, the foundation of the Tang family will fall into your hands. Why are you still frowning?"

Bai Che sighed and drank the wine in the glass, but said nothing.

The man was stunned and asked, "Is the young lady of the Tang family ugly?"

Before Bai Che could speak, another young man beside him shook his head and said, "Brother Kang, you just came to Lingzhou, and you don't know that the daughter of the Tang family is a top beauty in Lingzhou City. I really don't know how a man like Mr. Tang could give birth to such a beautiful daughter?"

Brother Kang was even more surprised when he heard this and asked, "Since the daughter of the Tang family is so beautiful and the Tang family has such a family business, why is Brother Bai unhappy?"

The young man shook his head again and said, "Brother Kang, you don't know that this Miss Tang is very famous in Lingzhou..."

After listening to this, the man surnamed Kang pursed his lips, looked at Bai Che, and comforted him : "Brother Bai, you don't have to worry. Maybe the rumor is wrong. How could there be such a woman?"

Another young man looked at Bai Che and echoed: "Yes, you don't have to worry too much. Rumors are always untrue. In my opinion, it is much better for you to go to the Tang family than to stay in the Bai family. After all, the Bai family will be inherited by your brother in the future, but the Tang family is different..."

"I hope so."

Bai Che nodded a little depressed, stood up, and said: "Have you finished eating? Let's go back after you finish eating."

The three of them walked out of the restaurant, and the beggar squatting in a corner of the street also stood up. They looked at each other, and one of them immediately walked quickly towards the crowd.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Brother Bai!" At the entrance of the restaurant, the young man surnamed Kang waved to Bai Che and said, "I will leave Lingzhou in a few days, so I can only congratulate Brother Bai in advance!"

Thinking of the words of comfort from the two just now, Bai Che felt a little better in his heart, and forced a smile on his face, saying, "Brother Kang, you are polite."

"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"

Just as the three were about to leave, there was a sudden noise on the street.

A figure ran from the front, looking panicked, knocking down many pedestrians along the way. Behind, two constables were chasing quickly.

The figure ran quickly past the three people, and when he continued to run forward, a white shadow suddenly flashed in front of him.

Bang!

After a muffled sound, his body flew sideways and flew to an alley on the side of the street.

The woman in white clapped her hands and walked into the alley.

Soon, a series of ping-pong sounds came from the alley.

"You have hands and feet, why do you steal?"

"I hate people like you who get something for nothing!"

"Don't show up in front of me anymore, or I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

...

The two constables finally arrived, trotted over, and said anxiously: "Girl, girl, stop beating me, or someone will die!"

"You are constables, but you can't even catch a little thief!" The woman glanced at them, walked out of the alley, walked to the street, and saw Bai Che and the other two standing in the middle of the road. She frowned and said: "What are you looking at? Get out of the way, you are blocking my way!"

Bai Che looked at the woman, his face turned pale, and he stood there in a daze.

The two people beside him saw her kick the little thief away with one kick, and they trembled in their hearts. They immediately pulled him away and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The woman glared at them, and then strode away.

At this time, the two constables had already carried the thief out of the alley.

The three of them took a look at the thief and gasped.

The man's eyes rolled back, his face was covered in blood, he was foaming at the mouth, and his whole body was twitching unconsciously...

It was not until the detectives carried him away that the two people beside Bai Che came back to their senses.

The man surnamed Kang said with some fear: "Who is that woman? She is so fierce!"

The young man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and murmured: "As a woman, this is outrageous. I can guarantee that this woman will never get married. Whoever marries her will be unlucky for eight lifetimes..."

After the two finished speaking, they realized that Bai Che beside them did not speak.

They turned their heads at the same time and found that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was extremely pale, and his body was still shaking slightly.

The two were shocked and spoke quickly.

"Brother Bai, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"What's wrong? We'll take you to see a doctor!"

...

In the backyard of Uncle San's breakfast shop, Tang Ning fetched a basin of water. Ren Pingsheng took out the cloth pillow on his stomach, washed off the paint on his face, and rinsed his mouth with a bowl. He wiped off the remaining soybean milk from the corners of his mouth. Then he looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Boss, was my performance okay?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Very good."

Ren Pingsheng stuffed a bun in his mouth, rubbed his shoulders, and said, "I think my performance was a bit exaggerated. I wanted to show a feeling of dying after being beaten, but Miss Tang's kick was too painful. It hurt so much that I couldn't control my expression accurately. Remember to ask her to kick more gently next time..."
