Although Runzhou experienced a rebellion, after the chaos was quelled, Runzhou, which was restored to calm, 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 my ......"

……

Five or six children gathered around the woman in white, scrambling to stretch out their hands, and the woman in white put the candy in their palms and watched them scatter, standing quietly in place, with a touching smile on her face.

At one moment, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and she quickly turned around and ran towards the courtyard as if she were running away.

Tang Ning stood not far away, looking at Tang Shui, who was about to flee, and said helplessly: "Am I so terrible?" ”

Tang Shui's body stiffened, turned his head to look at Tang Ning, and squeezed out a smile on his face, "Why are you here......"

Tang Ning said: "I came to find my father, but unfortunately they have left." ”

Tang Shui lowered his head and said, "They said they would go around and go back in two years." ”

Tang Ning nodded, indicating that he knew, and then looked at Tang Shui in surprise and asked, "Okay, why are you blushing?" ”

Tang Shui glanced at him, slightly annoyed in her heart, if she didn't want to avoid him, how could she come to Jiangnan, when she saw Tang Ning, she would think of the marriage contract between the two, she still didn't know how to deal with this matter, and now she couldn't even hide from him.

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

Tang Jing saw the figure opposite Tang Shui, his body was shocked, and a trace of complexity appeared on his face.

Tang Ning looked at him, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "Uncle." ”

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

In the room, Tang Jing took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that something happened to Jingshi." ”

Tang Ning put down the teacup and said: "King Huai rebelled, Your Majesty appointed King Run as the crown prince and let him govern on his behalf......"

After listening to what had happened in Jingshi these days, Tang Jing was silent for a long time before he finally spoke: "The cause of the past, the fruit of today, the sins created back then, there will be a time to repay them......

Although Tang Ning and Tang Jing have some kind of blood relationship, because of their experience, there are still some indelible alienations between the two.

Before he finished his cup of tea, he offered his farewell.

Tang Jing glanced at Tang Shui, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Shui'er, you go and send him." ”

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

……

On the streets of Runzhou City, Tang Shui and Tang Ning walked one after the other.

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

Tang Shui himself was silent, and after finding that Tang Ning didn't say a word along the way, he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart.

This matter is a matter for the two of them, do you want her to be a woman to speak?

In her heart, she was embarrassed, and a voice suddenly came from the side of the street.

"There is a golden house in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, reading makes people wise, so you should read more books and newspapers on weekdays, eat less snacks and sleep more, and become a useful person for the country in the future......"

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

A teenager laughed twice and asked, "You read a lot of books, so powerful, why don't you take the top exam?" ”

"Champion?" A trace of disdain appeared on the young man's face, and he said, "In the past, even if the champion saw me, he had to call the young master......

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

The young man immediately retracted his head and said, "Sister Xiaocui, it's coming......

This scene caused another burst of laughter among the young people, and the surroundings were filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

After the Tang family was beheaded by the whole family, Tang Zhao was nowhere to be found, and the imperial court had not found it until now, compared to before, he had really changed too much, even Tang Ning could not associate the young man just now with the name of the Jingshi.

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

Tang Ning undeniably believes that many times, born in a rich family, or a powerful family of the government and the opposition, it is better to be an ordinary person and live a life in peace and stability, many ordinary people yearn for the life of the powerful, but they don't know that the more upper-level circles, the more serious the turmoil, the more envious of the powerful and wealthy families, they don't even have the opportunity to choose to be an ordinary person, so the whole family disappears from people's sight.

After breaking the silence, the tension between the two seemed to ease a little.

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

Tang Ning said: "It should be back to Qiandi......

Tang Shui asked, "What about the Western Regions?" ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "There is nothing big about it in the Western Regions, they can handle it themselves......

He thought for a while, suddenly looked at Tang Shui, and said, "The Western Regions should have been yours, or you should take care of it......"

Tang Shui glanced at him and said lightly, "I'm not interested." ”

After saying this, she just walked with her head down, but she was complaining about Tang Ning in her heart, it's all now, how long does he want to pretend to be stupid?

When this thought came to her mind, she suddenly realized that she had some faint expectations in her heart for letting Tang Ning say something personally.

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

Tang Shui's heart shook violently, I don't know when, her feelings for him have changed so much.

This made her heart feel embarrassed and panicked, and she just buried her head in walking, not noticing that a carriage was galloping in front of her.

"Look at the road!"

Tang Ning saw that the carriage was coming without slowing down, and was about to hit Tang Shui, so he quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed her hand, and said, "What do you think, don't look at the road!" ”

After saying that, he tried to withdraw his hand, but found that his hand was held tightly by her.

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

Tang Ning wondered, "What are we doing?" ”

"Less garlic!" Tang Shui glared at him angrily and said, "The matter of the marriage contract." ”

Tang Ning looked at her, couldn't figure out what she was thinking, and thought for a long time before he asked tentatively: "Anyway, this is all a matter of the previous generation, or ...... Forget it? ”

As soon as the words fell, a sharp pain came from the palm of his hand, Tang Ning gasped, and hurriedly said: "You light, it hurts ......."

Tang Shui lightened his strength slightly, looked at him, and said expressionlessly, "I'll give you another chance to choose again." ”
