Fortunate Young Gentleman

Tangning didn't mean anything else, what he said was the truth.

When it comes to women disguising themselves as men, Tang Yaoyao does have a natural advantage over Su Ruzhongyi and even Qing'er. She only needs one set of clothes and doesn't use any other extra fabric.

The people who eat melons must have the awareness and quality of the people who eat melons. The psychological quality of him and Tang Yaoyao still needs to be improved. In the future, they should not watch the excitement and watch randomly.

In Zhong Mansion, Chen Yuxian looked at the table full of food, then at the empty seats on both sides, looked at Zhong Yi and asked, "What's wrong with Ning'er?"

"He said he's not hungry now." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "In a while, I will take some food to his room."

Chen Yuxian nodded and murmured: "What happened today? Your father just finished handling a case and encountered something urgent. He went out without saying a few words, and Ning'er didn't come over for dinner..."

She looked at Tang Yaoyao who walked in from the door and said with a smile: "Yaoyao came just in time. Let's sit down and have something to eat together. There is your favorite boiled meat..."

Tang Yaoyao, who had just stepped in, covered her mouth, turned around and ran out quickly.

Chen Yuxian watched her disappear and murmured: "One by one, what's going on..."

There is a post house somewhere in Lingzhou City.

"Master Fang, Master Song." Zhong Mingli, who came in a hurry, had just met Fang Hong and Song Qian when Zhao Zhijie stepped in from the outside.

After some greetings, Zhao Zhijie looked at Fang Hong and asked, "Two gentlemen, has the envoy from Chu State really arrived in Lingzhou?"

Fang Hong nodded and said, "We have just received news from Governor Dong."

Not long after, local officials of rank seven and above gathered in the post house in Lingzhou City.

More than ten carriages drove slowly from a distance and stopped at the entrance of the post house. A figure got off the carriage.

As the chief official of Lingzhou, Dong Cunyi, the governor of Lingzhou, walked out of the station and said with a smile on his face: "I am Dong Cunyi, the governor of Lingzhou. The envoy from your country has come from afar. I am not welcome at a distance. I hope the envoy will not be offended..."

A middle-aged man at the head smiled and said, "You're welcome, Lord Governor."

Governor Dong looked behind him and introduced: "This is Lord Ti Xing Song of Jingdong Road, and this is Lord Fang, the Minister of Staff..."

Governor Dong introduced the officials present one by one. When he introduced Zhong Mingli, he hesitated for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face and said: "This is Mr. Zhong, the magistrate of Yong'an County..."

"Yong'an County?" The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said: "When I just entered the city, I heard that a fatal case seemed to have occurred in Yong'an County. I wonder if the case can be solved..."

The expressions of the officials present changed slightly. The Chu State envoy had just arrived at the post house. He mentioned this murder case without mentioning anything else. It was obvious that he wanted to make them Lingzhou officials look bad.

Was the murder case that just happened solved so quickly?

Hearing this, Governor Dong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhong Mingli and asked, "Master Zhong, is this possible?"

"It is indeed true." Zhong Mingli nodded and said, "But the culprit in this case has been arrested, so your envoy will not worry about it."

The middle-aged man had a strange look on his face, looked at Zhong Mingli twice, and said with a smile: "Master Zhong is really quick to solve the case..."

This is about the face of Lingzhou and the face of Chen State. Governor Dong knows the importance of it, so he smiled and said: "That's because Mr. Zhong handles cases like a god. No one in Lingzhou City knows about it... …”

Zhong Mingli looked at him and said modestly: "President Dong is overly commendable."

The invisible confrontation initiated by the Chu envoy was easily resolved. Fang Hong stepped forward and said, "The envoy has come from afar. It's not too late to enter the post house."

When the Chu envoy and his party walked into the post house, a Lingzhou official showed a smile on his face, bowed his hand to Zhong Mingli, and whispered: "Master Zhong, I have you!"

Everyone bowed their hands to Zhong Mingli before walking into the post house.

Zhong Mingli breathed a long sigh of relief, with a bit of pride on his face. Zhao Zhijie looked at him and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just that I have a good son-in-law? What I am proud of is not your credit..."

Zhong Mingli looked at him and said calmly: "I have it, do you have it?"

…

Tang Ning didn't have much appetite for most of the day, and it wasn't until the afternoon that Tang Ning regained consciousness. As a man, he still had to have good mental qualities, and he couldn't be as weak as Fairy Tang.

During dinner, my father-in-law hadn't come back yet, which naturally aroused some dissatisfaction from my mother-in-law.

I heard from the police officer in the yamen that envoys from the State of Chu were passing through Lingzhou, and all the officials in Lingzhou City who were seventh grade or above went to the post house.

Tang Ning didn't know much about the international situation, and she knew very little about Chu State.

He only knows that this country is in the north of Chen State and borders Chen State. The two countries have friendly relations and have been friends for more than ten years.

Of course, friendship only means that there is no war between the two countries. More than ten years ago, the Chu State was far inferior to the Chen State in national power. It paid tribute to the Chen State every year in order to maintain national stability, establishing the relationship between the two countries as the elder brother and the younger brother.

Today, the Chu State's national power is no longer the same as before. Although it still pays tribute to Chen State every year, the tributes are decreasing year by year. There is a faint trend that the younger brother wants to be on an equal footing with the elder brother.

Of course, this is just a trend. At least on the surface, Chen Guo still takes the lead. This time Chu State sent envoys to pay tribute.

Tang Ning didn't have much opinion on the international situation. He just felt that being an official was not easy. He got up early every day and worked hard every day. It was difficult to sit down with his family and have a good meal. His salary was not very high. What were you doing?

This is just a small county magistrate. The officials in the government offices in the capital have to take care of the affairs of a country. Aren't they even busier?

I heard that the morning court starts at five o'clock, and the court officials have to get up at three o'clock. He really can't get up so early.

Tang Ning was reading in the room. Zhong Mingli walked to the door, knocked on the door, and walked in.

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "Although you can't slack off in studying, the state exam has passed, and you can rest for a few days. There is no need to work so hard."

Tang Ning stood up and said, "I have nothing to do, so I read a book as a pastime."

Zhong Mingli paused for a moment and asked, "Have you met Lord Fang and Lord Song today?"

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It happened to meet."

Today in the post house, the Jingdong Road Chief Justice praised him in front of the Chu envoys and Lingzhou officials, saying that he taught a smart and clever son-in-law. Many colleagues also praised him... Zhong Mingli has never been so proud in his life.

On the way back, he was thinking, should he be nicer to this son-in-law in the future?

He took out a few banknotes from his sleeve, handed them to Tang Ning, and said, "I heard from Yier that Miss Xiaoru is going to buy a shop in the city. You should take this money, it should be useful."

Tang Ning was surprised. He knew that his father-in-law's pocket money was very tightly controlled. These banknotes added up to at least several hundred taels. Could it be his private money?

If his mother-in-law knew that he had hidden so much private money with unknown origins and unknown destinations, it would not be as simple as a back massage...

Tang Ning hurriedly said: "No, no, I have the money for the store..."

Zhong Mingli put the banknotes in his hand and said: "Take it."

"Ning'er, the cloth shop just delivered new clothes, try them to see if they fit..." Chen Yuxian walked in from the outside with a piece of clothing, looked at Tang Ning and Zhong Mingli, and then looked at the banknotes in their hands, and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

Zhong Mingli looked at her, stuffed the banknotes into Tang Ning's hands, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why did you give me so many banknotes? I don't need them..."

He turned to look at Chen Yuxian, shook his head, and sighed: "This child is really unreasonable..."

After that, he put his hands behind his back and walked out on his own.

Tang Ning stared at the banknotes in his hand in a daze. Chen Yuxian came over and frowned and said: "You will need money in many places in the future. Put it away quickly. What are you going to do for your father-in-law..."
