Fortunate Young Gentleman

The little girl looked at Tang Ning with an angry and aggrieved expression on her face. She shouted, "You..., that's mine!"

She was talking about the cake.

The little girl looked about ten years old, with big eyes, a round face, and a very..., strong body.

Tang Ning didn't know her name, her identity, or why she came here.

But he was sure of one thing, this little girl's family was either very rich or very powerful------or both rich and powerful.

Children from ordinary families wouldn't get so fat from eating.

However, her fat wasn't obese, and she wasn't ugly either, she looked a little silly and cute.

She grabbed another cake in anger and looked at Tang Ning with dissatisfaction.

While eating, the little girl muttered, "You're not ashamed to snatch even a child's things!"

She was wrong about two things.

First, this thing was on the table, anyone could take it, it wasn't hers.

Second, how was she small?

Tang Ning himself was only 17 or 18 years old now, and the probability of not reaching adulthood was extremely high. He was only a few years older than her, and in terms of privacy, he might not be as good as her...

However, being a few years older was still older, and he did not bother with a child. He pointed at the remaining food on the table and said, "These are all left, you can eat whatever you want..."

"None of them are as delicious as the one just now..." The little girl muttered, but she still sat down and started eating the fruits and pastries piece by piece.

Tang Ning also picked up another piece of pastry, pointed at the tables next to her, and said, "There are more over there, why don't you go over there?"

The little girl ate something in her mouth and said vaguely, "There are more people there."

It can't be seen that this little girl is still shy. Tang Ning didn't know anyone else here, and it was a bit boring to sit here alone. Although this little girl could eat a little and gain a little weight, at least she could talk to him a few words to relieve his boredom.

Her hands and mouth never stopped, sweeping away Tangning's remaining food like a whirlwind. Tangning couldn't help but remind her, "Eat less. Eating too much will make you fat..."

"What's wrong with being fat?" The little girl raised her head, wiped the corner of her mouth, and said, "Did I eat your rice?"

The little girl was very aggressive, so Tangning changed the subject and said, "Haven't you eaten these before?"

"Humph, what dishes haven't I eaten before?" Tangning could see that the little girl still had a deep grudge against the piece of cake just now.

"Have you tried all kinds of dishes?"

"Of course, can you tell me what dishes I haven't tried..." The little girl picked up the last piece of cake and was about to pass it over. After thinking for a while, she broke it in half and handed the smaller piece to Tang Ning, saying, "I'll give this one to you."

Tang Ning drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Steamed lamb, steamed bear paws, steamed deer tails, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose, braised pork, braised duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe..."

The little girl was about to put the half piece of cake into her mouth, staring at Tang Ning with wide eyes, and her hands stopped moving.

"Assorted sausages, sesame butter rolls, braised jackdaws, fried mushrooms, fried fish jerky, fried fish belly, fried fish bones, fried fish slices..."

The half piece of cake in the little girl's hand fell on the table.

"Red meatballs, white meatballs, fried meatballs, fried meatballs, fried meatballs, alfalfa meatballs, three-fresh meatballs, four-joy meatballs..., red meat pot, white meat pot, assorted pot, first-class pot, chrysanthemum pot, and stew pot!" Tang Ning took a breath and looked at her and asked, "Have you eaten all these dishes?"

The little girl picked up the half piece of cake that fell on the table and stuffed it back into her mouth.

She finally swallowed the half piece of cake and looked at Tang Ning, even her voice was a little lower, and asked, "Have you eaten all these?"

Tang Ning stretched out his hand to press down, signaling her to wait.

After all, he had not received professional training, and it was too difficult for him to name the dishes. He paused several times in the middle and was still a little out of breath.

His chest rose and fell for a while, and he drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat, and then said, "Of course."

Although he has not eaten it now, Zhong Yi will make it for him sooner or later.

There is a long way to go.

The girl looked at him and asked expectantly, "Then, can you tell me how to do it?"

"No." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Who told you to scold me just now?"

"I didn't..." The girl was a little anxious.

"You said I'm not shy." Tang Ning reminded her.

The girl twisted her hands together and explained, "That, that's not a scolding word. My mother, my mother always says that to me..."

Tang Ning was just teasing her out of boredom. He didn't have any bad feelings towards this silly and cute girl. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Which one do you want to learn first?"

"Four Joy Meatballs!"

"Okay..." Tang Ning nodded and said, "Four Joy Meatballs are mainly made of pork filling and eggs. By the way, do you like pork..."

"Yes!" The girl nodded vigorously.

Tangning thought for a moment, looked at her and asked, "Is there anything you don't like to eat?"

"Medicine!" The little girl frowned and said, "I once secretly drank my grandma's medicine, and it made me so bitter..."

"Anything else?"

"No more..."

Tangning finally understood why this little girl was so fat...

In the corner, Tangning talked casually, and the little girl's big eyes sparkled, and she wiped the corners of her mouth from time to time. In the hall, many people were already waiting impatiently.

"Why aren't you coming out yet?"

"I heard that Mr. Fang is back too?"

"Master Fang is a well-known filial son. The old lady is celebrating her birthday, how can he not come back?"

"It is said that for the provincial examination next spring, His Majesty has ordered Mr. Fang to take the exam. If Mr. Fang can be supported..."

…

An old man walked in from the back hall, and the discussion in the hall suddenly stopped.

The old man looked at everyone and said: "The old lady and my master are entertaining a distinguished guest. Please move to the courtyard first. There will be a grand fireworks later. Please watch it..."

Tangning looked at the little girl who was wiping her saliva for the first time and asked, "There are fireworks, do you want to see them?"

The little girl waved her chubby little hand and said: "What's so good about fireworks? What are the assorted pots you just mentioned..."

Tang Ning looked at her, and the little girl had a bitter look on her face as she said, "Okay, after you finish reading it later, you can tell me what the assorted pot is..."

Ancient fireworks were not something ordinary people could set off. Tangning had been here for a month and had never seen one before.

The little girl walked out with him, not forgetting to take two pastries from the next table and hand one to Tangning.

This reminded Tang Ning of the little beggar. The difference was that he gave him the only bun he had.

However, after the exchange just now, Tangning felt that this little girl was able to share half of the food with her because she might have gone through a more intense inner struggle.

Tangning and the little girl stood in the yard waiting to watch the fireworks. The crowd in front of them automatically made way for a passage, and two figures walked from the front.

The person surrounded by the crowd was a middle-aged man. Next to the middle-aged man was an old man with white hair and beard.

The middle-aged man walked like a dragon and had an extraordinary bearing, but he seemed to have respect for the old man.

When she saw the old man, Tangning stepped back.

He was a little afraid of Dr. Sun. Every time he saw him, he would talk endlessly. The look in his eyes was like looking at a rare treasure, which was really unbearable.

The crowd gathered around her. Tangning lowered his head as Divine Doctor Sun and the middle-aged man walked past him.

Suddenly a huge force came from behind him.

Tangning's body jumped forward due to inertia.

He directly bumped into Divine Doctor Sun, who staggered due to the impact, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground.

Everyone's eyes were on Divine Doctor Sun and the middle-aged man. Behind Tangning, a young man moved a few positions to one side without leaving any trace.

The middle-aged man hurriedly took a few steps forward, helped Dr. Sun up, and asked with concern: "Mr. Sun, are you okay?"

Behind him, another thin young man came to his senses, with a sullen look on his face. He pointed at Tangning, waved his hands to the left and right, and said, "Take him down!"
