Back at home, the pace of life seems to slow down a lot.

No more a battlefield full of urgency, no longer a round trip full of unknowns. There is no need to worry about what danger he will encounter, this feeling of peace of mind makes Tang Ning want to stop.

A swing was placed in the backyard at some point, Tang Liang and Tang Wen sat on one by one, and Tang Ning was responsible for pushing it in the back. The quiet Tang Yu was not dissatisfied because she didn't sit on the swing, she stood beside Tang Ning obediently, and her appearance was very much like her mother.

Waking up in the afternoon means less time to play with the kids. After dinner, several children were taken away by Li Zi to practice calligraphy. And Tangning also needs to be evenly wet with rain and dew, and work hard.

After another three days, the four wives in the family were satisfied. However, Tang Ning's own body was a little unbearable, and when Zhao Xu sent someone to call him into the palace, the way he walked made the little eunuch very worried that Tang Ning would fall to the ground in the next second.

So when Zhao Xu saw Tang Ning with a prostration, he asked people to cook a bowl of soup and medicine for Tang Ning.

They are all like-minded people, and after drinking that kind of medicine, they will become energetic, and Tang Ning should think about it.

After coughing a few times, Zhao Xu looked at Tang Ning and said, "It seems that you have been very busy these days, why don't you rest at night?" ”

Tang Ning scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, Weichen is indeed a little powerless. ”

Zhao Xu laughed out loud and did not continue to delve into this topic. Instead, he asked Tang Ning, "Do you know what I called you here for today?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty." Tang Ning shook his head and replied.

In fact, Tang Ning had some speculation in his heart, in the past few days, the meritorious soldiers who participated in this trip have been rewarded, and even the governor of Yongzhou has been upgraded by half a level due to the effective supply and supply, although the position has not changed, but it is already a certainty that he will be transferred back to Tokyo City as the center in a few years.

Xiaoshi and Fang La were also given the official titles of General Zhongwu and General Xuanwei, and Yang Yingzheng even received the title of Wanquan County because of the shadow of Lao Linggong, and Zhao Xu also gave him a house and asked him to take his mother over to live.

He has had a lot of things recently, and he said that the person who was the matchmaker had broken through the threshold of their family. At the same time, because the Yang family's lineage is declining, its influence in the court is no longer what it used to be.

Now a fierce general who claims to be a descendant of Yang Ye suddenly appeared, and regardless of whether he is really a relative of his own family or not, this popularity alone is worth rubbing against the Yang family.

Yesterday, Yang Yingzheng also came to ask for his opinion, and Tang Ning felt that there was nothing wrong with converging with the Yang family, but they still had to keep a certain distance from each other.

The matter between the nobles and nobles has always been the first benefit. For example, Cao De is looking at himself by the emperor

relied on, otherwise whether he was his niece's husband or not, he would not have personally attended the banquet when he took a concubine.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning felt that Zhao Xu called himself here today mostly to reward himself. But Zhao Xu likes the 'do you know what you are called' selling off, and Tang Ning accompanied him to continue.

Sure enough, when Tang Ning finished saying that he didn't know, Zhao Xu laughed proudly. He touched his chin and said, "Let's go and fight and win." You, as the proposer and the one who leads the troops in battle, should be the first to take credit.

But until now, I have not rewarded you. So you should have guessed it, right? I called you here today to reward you! ”

Tang Ning pretended to be frightened, waved his hand vigorously and said, "As for the reward, Your Majesty has actually done it." It was the soldiers in the army who really contributed to this war, and His Majesty had rewarded them, and there was nothing missing.

What's more, His Majesty also changed the Zhenjiang Army to the Zhenguo Army. With such an honor, Weichen is already sincerely afraid, where do you want more rewards? ”

It's not that Tang Ning is pretending, but he really doesn't want to be rewarded anymore. There are things like money, and there are dividends from the Shen family liquor store that has become bigger and stronger in Runzhou, and there is no shortage at all. What's more, there is also the army purchasing alcohol for wound disinfection in bulk, as long as the brewing workshop in Runzhou does not stop, the Tang family has a large amount of money in the account every month.

Therefore, Zhao Xu's reward for himself is nothing more than an official position. However, his current official position is at a delicate level, a higher one, he will participate in the court, and a lower one, he has no right to speak.

It is in line with Tang Ning's mind that the court of the Great Song Dynasty is, to put it bluntly, a vegetable market that quarrels with crepe words, and it is useless to enter it except to increase troubles.

Not to mention that you have to get up early in the dark every day, you don't want to get up so early every day, and you have to sleep well after working hard at night, right?

But Zhao Xu obviously didn't think so, he shouted with a smile, and four palace maids walked in with a wooden tray outside the door.

Tang Ning saw that there was a clothing thing on the tray, and he saw that it was purple, so he screamed in his heart.

"Today is a little bit of hope for you, this is your new official uniform, you will be able to wear it in a few days." Zhao Xu looked at Tang Ning with a smile.

Tang Ning made a bitter face, and said in his heart that the people who could wear this purple official uniform were all high-ranking officials of the fourth grade, and he was still wearing vermilion before, it seemed that Zhao Xu was indeed going to move his official position up.

When the palace maid approached with the tray, Tang Ning saw the fish bag on it again. Zhao Xu has done this, Tang Ning naturally can't refuse, took the low table in front of him with both hands, and then walked out and knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your love." ”

"Haha, get up! We don't have to be so restrained. Zhao Xu looked very

Happy, he continued: "I heard that you are going to marry the fourth concubine again, it seems that you are also a romantic person.

What do you think of these four palace maids? Do you want me to send you with you? ”

Hearing this, Tang Ning subconsciously looked up and saw that the four shy palace maids did have their own appearances, and they were all beauties who would be sought after by tens of thousands of people when they were pulled outside.

But Tang Ning still waved his hand and said: "This is not necessary, there are enough women in Weichen's family, and there is really no way to accept it, and the body can't bear it." ”

Zhao Xu laughed when he heard this, stretched out his finger and nodded Tang Ning, then waved his hand to pull back the four disappointed palace maids. Then he stood up and said to Tang Ning, "Have you had lunch?" I didn't eat it either, so why don't you take two bites together? ”

"Is this appropriate?" Tang Ning hesitated.

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "What's inappropriate, I told you a long time ago, you don't have to be restrained between you and me." I treat Qing with sincerity, and I hope that Qing will return my sincerity. ”

Tang Ning was moved by Zhao Xu's attitude, meeting such a boss in his life is really a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes.

So Tang Ning didn't hesitate any longer, nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that Weichen's stomach is also hungry, so it's better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" ”

"Haha! That's right, this is the Downing I know! ”

Zhao Xu laughed and patted Tang Ning's shoulder, then suddenly turned his head to the side and coughed a few times. Then he led Tang Ning out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

This scene fell in Tang Ning's eyes, but his heart was not as light as Zhao Xu showed.

Although Zhao Xu's condition had been somewhat controlled before this, after all, tuberculosis was comparable to a terminal illness in this era. Temporary inhibition is not a cure after all, and Zhao Xu's condition has a tendency to deteriorate.

And I heard that Zhao Xu recently came out to give birth to a son, and he had to share the bed with three or four concubines every night. I don't know if his behavior will have an effect, anyway, if a patient is still singing like this night and night, something will definitely go wrong with his body.

Because Zhao Xu did not inform the imperial chef in advance that he was going to receive guests, the imperial chef prepared meals according to Zhao Xu's recipes on weekdays.

It's all very light things, contrary to Downing's inherent impression that royal people are very heavy-tasted.

A bowl of egg drop soup that is not much greasy, as well as steamed buns and millet porridge. Zhao Xu eats with relish, it seems that although his private life is not very modest, he is very controlled by his diet.

During the meal, Zhao Xu had asked Tang Ning to boil the decoction before, Tang Ning took a sip, feeling a little bitter, and after drinking it for a while, he did feel a lot more energetic.

After that, Zhao Xu sent someone to send Tang Ning home, and told Tang Ning to prepare for the past two days, and in two or three days, the door of his house would be broken down.
