Fortunate Young Gentleman

Before leaving, his mother-in-law gave many instructions to him to write a letter home as soon as possible after arriving in the capital.

Writing a letter is not difficult, but sending it is somewhat difficult.

After all, this is not the future, where cars and horses are very slow and letters are far away. If there is anything that cannot be solved with a phone call or a WeChat message.

Even at the post station that can only be used by government communications, the speed is far inferior to that of SF Express. If ordinary people send letters, they basically have to rely on fellow villagers to send them.

Fortunately, the Tang family has a great business, and its business is spread all over Chen State, the capital and Lingzhou. There will be correspondence every once in a while, and it can usually arrive in seven or eight days. If it is urgent, his letter can be delivered to Xiaoru by the day after tomorrow. And Xiaoyi's hand.

The Lantern Festival has passed, and the capital has returned to its original appearance. Although it is still much more prosperous than Lingzhou, it is not as exaggerated as the two days of the Lantern Festival.

Originally, he planned to wait until after the Lantern Festival to visit Fang Mansion first, and then inform Li Tianlan that he had arrived in Beijing.

But since Miss Li came to him first, he only needed to go to Fang Mansion to say hello.

When Tangning thought of Fang Mansion, she thought of Fang Xiaopang.

I don’t know how she is doing in Lingzhou. Although he has only left for half a month, her determination to lose weight is extremely determined and she has never fallen behind in her actions. She can see obvious changes in half a month.

Maybe, when he returns to Lingzhou after the provincial examination, he won't be able to recognize her.

After the Lantern Festival, order was restored in Beijing, and officials from various departments in the DPRK had to return to their respective positions and perform their duties.

Tang Ning only knew Fang Hong in the Fang Mansion, so she deliberately chose to go there in the afternoon after going to the office. At this time, Fang Hong should be at home.

He took Peng Chen out with him. Along the way, the old beggar got bored, so he taught Peng Chen his martial arts. Judging from his growing respect for the old beggar, he should have benefited a lot.

The old beggar occupied a table in the corner by himself. On the table were several dishes to go with wine. While eating the food and drinking, he also watched the performances of the girls, squinting his eyes and looking extremely happy.

When Tang Ning was about to go out, he turned around, looked at him and said, "I've been eating and drinking your food and living in your house these days. I feel really bad about it. I'll teach you a few tricks when I have time. You can practice more and you'll pass." In the past two or three years, although it is still impossible to defeat your little sweetheart, I will not be bullied by her casually. "

Tangning shook her head and said, "Senior, don't feel bad. You can just drink, eat, and live here. We can talk about this later... Let's go out first."

The old beggar still had principles in doing things. Although Tang Ning hoped that he would stay by his side and be a bodyguard who only took care of food, drink, and living, but if he could give him some pointers, he would be able to fight in two years. He would not refuse Tang Yaoyao.

After all, he wanted to beat Tang Yaoying to avenge his humiliation, and it was no longer just a day or two.

Most of the officials and dignitaries in the capital live in the same area. You can find out the residence of Fang Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs by just asking anyone.

As far as the eye can see, this area is full of wealthy families, and the Fang family's house is not conspicuous on this street.

Fang Hong was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Although his official rank was high, it was not the highest. However, the influence of the Fang family in the capital was huge, and even the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel could not compare with it.

This is not only because the Fang family was once prominent in the capital. When the old man was still alive, he had disciples all over the world. Even now, there are countless officials and dignitaries in the capital who have good relations with the Fang family. It is also because Concubine Shu, who is extremely favored by the emperor today, She is the daughter of the Fang family.

When they walked to the door of Fang Mansion, a concierge came up and said politely: "You two, what is the important matter for you to come to Fang Mansion?"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Is Mr. Fang at home?"

The porter looked at him and asked, "Young master, are you coming to Beijing from Lingzhou to take the exam?"

Tangning nodded.

The porter smiled and said, "My lord hasn't returned home yet, but I guess he will soon. You two, please go to the mansion and have a cup of tea. I will report back when my lord comes back."

Tang Ning followed him into Fang Mansion. As the servant walked, he said, "There are quite a few students from Lingzhou who come to visit me these days. You are quite late..."

He took Tang Ning and Tang Ning to a side hall and said, "You two have a cup of tea here first and wait for a while. My lord will be back soon."

"Excuse me." Tangning nodded and found a seat to sit down.

There was some noise outside, the sound of children. Just as Tangning took a sip of tea, she saw a sepak takraw ball flying in from the outside. Then, a boy of eight or nine years old ran in from the outside and kicked the sepak takraw ball out. Just as he was about to run out, he suddenly looked at Tang Ning. After a moment's pause, he pointed at him and said angrily, "It's you, why did you come to our house!"

Tangning had some impressions of this young man.

He seems to be called Fang Xintong, Fang Hong's youngest son, the boy who bullied Fang Xiaopang at the gate of Fang's house and was beaten until he burst into tears by her.

When Fang Xintong saw Tang Ning, it was as if he saw an enemy. After shouting, he ran out angrily. After a while, several figures ran in with a "hurrah".

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. He looked at the boy next to him who was obviously two or three years older than him, pointed at Tangning, and said angrily: "Cousin, he was the one who instigated Fang Xinyue to beat us in the first place!"

"You guys are so useless. You can't even beat a girl." The boy looked at them with disdain, then walked forward, looked up at Tangning, and said arrogantly, "You bullied my cousin?"

This young man was not very tall, but he was much stronger than Fang Xintong and the others. Of course, he was still a bit smaller than the fat Fang Xiaopang.

Tang Ning had never bullied Fang Xintong, and he had never even touched him.

He looked at the boy, shook his head and said, "It's not me."

The boy was stunned when he heard it, turned back to look at Fang Xintong, and whispered, "He said it's not me, did you recognize the wrong person?"

"It's him!" Fang Xintong pointed at Tang Ning and said, "If he hadn't said that he would give Fang Xinyue some "Four Joy Meatballs" and "Assorted Pots", Fang Xinyue wouldn't have hit us!"

The boy looked at Tang Ning, his throat moved a few times, and asked, "What pot?"

"I heard others passing on those ten poems this morning, and I knew you were coming to the capital." Fang Hong strode in from outside and said with a smile, "The Ministry of Personnel has just opened today, and there are a lot of things to do. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Tang Ning smiled and said, "It's okay, I just came a while."

Fang Xintong saw Fang Hong coming in and immediately bowed his head and said, "Dad."

"Uncle." The boy also spoke at the same time.

Fang Hong looked at them and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Fang Xintong and several other boys held the rattan ball and dispersed, but the sturdy boy stayed.

"This is His Royal Highness Prince Run." Fang Hong pointed at the young man and introduced him, "The Concubine Shu has been feeling unwell these days, so she sent him to the Fang Mansion."

Tang Ning didn't expect that the young man was actually a prince. He casually bowed and said, "Meet His Royal Highness Prince Run."

"No need to be polite..." The young man looked at him, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Don't leave for a while, I have something to ask you..."

After that, he turned around and walked out swaggeringly.

After the young man walked out, Fang Hong looked at Tang Ning and smiled, "I have known for a long time that Lingzhou and the capital are no different to you. You just came to the capital and made such a big fuss..."

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Did Lord Fang hear about it too?"

Fang Hong smiled and said, "After the Lantern Festival, who doesn't know that there is a crazy poet in the capital?"

The title of crazy poet doesn't sound like a compliment at all. Tang Ning smiled awkwardly, chatted with Fang Hong about some family matters, drank a few sips of tea, and planned to leave.

After all, he came to Fang Mansion today just out of courtesy, and there was not much to talk about between him and Fang Hong. After drinking a cup of tea, he felt that there was nothing to say.

When he left Fang Mansion, he did not see the King Run again.

He went directly back to Hongxiu Pavilion. As soon as he stepped in, he noticed that countless eyes were looking at him.

Tang Ning paused, looked at Shopkeeper Xu, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

As soon as the voice fell, a voice that made people's bones tingle sounded in his ears.

A figure in front turned around, looked at Tang Ning, and said softly: "Mr. Tang, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
