Chapter Seventy-One: Chen Liu
Being a parent is an easy thing to do, but being a parent is not that simple. The only thing that puzzled Tang Ning was why Tang Yu and Tang Liang didn't have to worry so much about themselves, while Tang Wen filled his heart with negative emotions?
Self-blame, guilt, anger...... All this has to make Tang Ning like a gambler who has lost all his fortunes, and can only use alcohol to kill his sorrows.
"What's going on?" Liu Yi'er saw that Tang Ning's state was a little wrong, so she stood up, pressed one hand on Tang Ning's chest and asked with concern, "Zhang Jingming, did they tell you anything?"
You've been drunk before, but you've never been so depressed as you are now......"
Tang Ning put both hands on Liu Yier's hands, and said vaguely: "I think I am a failure......"
"How so?" Liu Yi'er held Tang Ning's hand and said: "You are a general who has won all battles, the Marquis of Danyang of the Great Song Kingdom, you live in such a big house, you have a wife, and you have children, how could you fail?" ”
"I don't know." Tang Ning looked at Liu Yi'er, his eyes were red: "I just have this feeling, and it is very, very strong." ”
Tang Ning may not know what he is doing because of his drunkenness, but he can frighten Liu Yier.
"If you're still thinking about the daytime, it's true that I didn't do it right, I was so angry that I lost my temper on impulse......"
"It had nothing to do with that." Tang Ning grinned: "I just think that I haven't done well enough with Tang Wen's kid to be a good father......
"It's just breaking a teapot, you don't have to take it to heart, children are very naughty, just teach a lesson."
“…… I don't care that much about him, I don't talk about him every time he makes a mistake, I dote on him too much......"
Liu Yi'er blinked and said, "I'm glad you can realize this, but you don't have to!" He's only ten years old, and he has time to correct it, so you just need to discipline him more in the future, right? ”
“……”
"Besides, you were always away from home because of various things, and it's not all your fault, I'm also at fault."
“……”
Liu Yier was comforting Tang Ning when she suddenly heard a slight snoring sound. Looking down, Tang Ning had fallen asleep with his eyes closed.
Liu Yi'er sighed helplessly, and gently pulled her hand out from between Tang Ning's hands. He went down to the ground and blew out the candles, and then lay down on the bed.
He stared at the ceiling for a long time, and then turned his head to look at Tang Ning. Eventually, she shook her head helplessly, closed her eyes and fell asleep......
……………………
When I woke up the next morning, the sunlight outside the window was unusually dazzling. Tang Ning slept covered in sweat, wiped his face after getting up, and walked to the table and poured a glass of water and drank it all.
Pushing open the door and walking out, two maids standing under the eaves of the porch and talking greeted him: "Master Hou,
You're up. ”
Tang Ning snorted and asked while yawning, "What time is it?" ”
"It's already three o'clock, Master Hou, it's almost noon."
Nodding, Downing swept around. I didn't see Wang Shi and them, so I asked again, "What about Madame?" ”
"The lady is in the front hall, and the second lady is out on business. The rest of the ladies seem to have entered the city......"
"How many small ones?"
The two maids glanced at each other and replied, "Master Hou, today is not a day off for private school. ”
Downing was bored with all these questions, but other than that, he didn't have much to do.
Transferring him back to Kaifeng Mansion was not only the only thing that the Lord and the faction had won, under their subtle tacit understanding with Zhao Xu, Tang Ning could now be said to be unable to hear anything outside the window at home.
If he doesn't take the initiative to inquire, any news will not reach his ears.
Now the only ones who will take the initiative to provide information to the Danyang Hou Mansion are the Imperial City Division and the Wude Division. And the things that were said were all about the White Lotus Society.
"Go boil some water for me, get some clothes, I'm going to take a shower."
"Yes." The two maids ran away giggling, called two servants to fetch water and carry buckets, and went to boil water for Tang Ning.
Tang Ning stood at the door and stretched his waist, went back to drink some more water, and went straight to take a bath.
I don't know how long it took to soak before Tang Ning came out of it, dried himself and changed his clothes, and then headed towards the front hall.
The guests seemed to have just left, and there were still teacups on the table. Wang Shi was instructing two or three servants, apparently preparing gifts.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Tang Ning coming over with his hair scattered, Wang Shi turned his head and said, "Awake?" Hurry up and get your hair done, it's sloppy to death. ”
Tang Ning was helpless, so he had to reach out and get a ponytail on the back of his head, and asked, "Who is coming?" ”
"Shi Darttou of the Danyang Dart Bureau was about to tell you about this." As Wang Shi spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Ning: "Ask him what is the matter, and he won't say, just let me forward this letter to you."
I left him for a cup of tea, and he left, saying he had something to attend to. I knew you were awake, so I told him to wait a little longer. ”
"It's the same." Tang Ning took the letter, suddenly hugged Wang Shi and kissed her on the face. Then under Wang Shi's inexplicable eyes, he took the letter and went to the study.
The shattered teapot was gone, and the fragments were now buried under the flowers in the backyard. Downing set aside the book he had seen half of yesterday, opened the envelope, and began to read.
At first, Tang Ning's expression was still a little solemn, but the more he looked at it, the more relaxed he became.
Shi Lianyong mentioned in the letter that they had found Han Shantong, he was seriously injured and could not run far, and only received news a few days ago that there was a person suspected of Han Shantong
It's in a small village somewhere in Chenliu.
This is a great thing, not to mention that Han Shantong almost killed himself before, this bastard actually wants to capture his family to coerce him, and wait for him to fall into his hands, see how he cleans him up.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning couldn't sit still any longer.
called Lin Wei and Qi Fu, and waved his hand and said, "Prepare the horse!" ”
"Where are you going, brother-in-law?" Qi Fu is very reluctant, he has been unhappy with Senior Sister you and me in the past few days, and the two of them in broad daylight are in the bed, and they must be a little unhappy when they are suddenly called over.
"Go to the city to find Shi Lianyong first, and then ask him to arrange someone to take us to Chenliu!"
"You want to leave Kaifeng Mansion?" Lin Wei frowned and said, "Now this is the ...... I'm afraid it's not quite suitable, right? ”
"It's Han Shantong." Tang Ning rubbed his hands: "They found a person suspected of being Han Shantong in Chenliu......"
"It's suspicious, brother-in-law, it's not for sure, so forget it. Staying in Tokyo is boring, but it's safe. For a while, the Assassins who have thoughts about you may not dare to do so.
But if you go to Chenliu, there are too many things that can happen on the way......"
"Han Shantong is missing an arm, which is simply the most obvious sign. How can someone who can provide information admit that they are wrong?
Besides, it only takes a few days to come and go, what are you afraid of? What's more, if it's not the three of us, the people from Wudesi must come with one or two, right? If you want to borrow a few good hands from Shi Lianyong and bring Lao Zhang and Lao Liu with you, isn't there only a dozen people?
Don't tell me that a dozen of you would be afraid of bullshit assassins. ”
"I'm not afraid of being alone!" Qi Fu said with a stiff neck.
"Without further ado, if you are not afraid, hurry up and prepare the horse. Han Shantong doesn't die, can you still eat and sleep? ”
The two of you, you look at me, I look at you, and finally ran to prepare.
Not long after, Qi Fu and Lin Wei led the three horses to wait outside the mansion, and it didn't take long for Lao Zhang and Lao Liu to come over. Tang Ning was still talking to Wang Shi about it.
"Can't you not go? You have so many people in Kaifeng Mansion who want your life, go to Chen Liu...... It's too dangerous. ”
"Don't worry, I'll find someone to protect me." Tang Ning said in a low voice: "And after being stuffy in Tokyo City for so long, I feel that my body is going to rust, and every movement is a creaking sound." ”
"But your back injury is just ......"
"I just said something, don't worry, I'll take care of myself, it will only take three or four days to come and go, and soon you will be able to see me again."
After that, Tang Ning kissed Wang Shi on the face, and hurried out like a thief.
