Tang Ning left the Yamen of the Ministry of War a little stupidly, he was not confident that he would be able to escape the pursuit of the Ministry of War, or there was no need to gamble, to participate in the military election at most he would be beaten, and if he really wanted to escape, he might have to lose his head.

As long as the brain is not kicked by the donkey, you know how to choose, Tang Ning is also an optimist, and he quickly recovered his vitality, and muttered to Qingbo: "Qingbo, we must not have looked at the yellow calendar when we went out, this is just to participate in the martial arts election in Beijing, and it will definitely be beaten, alas, I hope I don't hurt my face, otherwise it will be difficult to please my daughter-in-law!" ”

Qing Bo smiled and said: "Young master doesn't have to hang his head, maybe all he encounters are straw bales from powerful people!" ”

Tang Ning's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the first thing he thought of was the girl in red. Then it dimmed, and not every straw bale would come to participate in the martial arts election as if its brain had been kicked by a donkey. Besides, a family like the girl in red is not used to participate in the martial arts election at all, but if there is a little ability, it has already been praised to the sky.

Tang Ning didn't want Qing Bo to worry too much, so he put these away, patted his stomach with a smile and said, "The big belly is the biggest in the world, Uncle Qing, let's go eat something first, and then find a place to live first." ”

The two of them drove the old carriage and gradually left the imperial city Gen'er, which was the most prosperous place in the imperial capital, and Tang Ning didn't think about eating here, and he knew that it was very expensive with his toes.

It wasn't until they arrived in the remote outer city that the two found a noodle stall and sat down, and Tang Ning asked, "How do you sell this noodles?" ”

"Chenghui fifteen wen, Tong Su is not bullied!" The noodle soup boss said loudly.

Tang Ning couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, it's really expensive enough! A bowl of noodles in Aoki Town is only four yuan, and it costs fifteen yuan here, and it is really not easy to live in Kyoto!

It's a bit expensive, but it's so fragrant! The two of them were also hungry, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to find a cheaper one, so they asked for two bowls of noodles and sat down.

When the two of them were sucking and eating, three or four people came from the opposite side, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and walked towards this side. This is not surprising, it is strange that the middle-aged man in the middle looked at the stall and walked in.

Seeing these middle-aged people in gorgeous clothes sitting on the table next to him, Tang Ning glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, rich people have so many quirks, and they even come to eat stalls.

But after all, this doesn't matter to himself, Tang Ning buried his head in eating noodles, but he didn't notice that Qing Bo's eyes were slightly condensed.

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes had been looking at Tang Ning since he called for noodles, and Tang Ning didn't care at first, but after eating a few bites of noodles, he found that the other party had been looking at him, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

It's not uncommon to meet strangers and take a few looks, but it's rude to keep staring at them like this.

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes also noticed it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the young man, I have a rough understanding of the art of face-to-face, and I see that Xiao Langjun looks dignified and has a rich and noble appearance, so I look at it a few more times, and don't blame it!" ”

Are even liars dressed so well these days? It seems that deceiving people is really a way to make a fortune, and Tang Ning didn't even think about it, so he directly regarded this middle-aged man in fancy clothes as a liar.

However, Tang Ning still had some doubts in his heart, after all, he didn't look like a rich man. This middle-aged man in Chinese clothes will not be idle when he eats noodles, and he wants to make a deal, right?

Tang Ning originally didn't want to deal with it, but thinking that he knew that he was a liar, how could he be fooled, so he smiled: "Oh? I don't know that I still have a rich and noble appearance, I don't know what else can you see in a middle-aged uncle? ”

Middle-aged uncle? The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I don't think you're a local!" ”

Tang Ning smiled and sighed: "Uncle is really accurate, a bowl of noodles costs more than a dozen yuan, it is not easy to live in Kyoto, a poor young man in the countryside like me can't afford to eat a few meals!" It's just a hillbilly going into the city to see the world! ”

Downing said very bitterly, and the meaning is obvious, you don't have to work on me, because I don't have any money.

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes listened to his eyes slightly condensed, and was silent for a moment and said: "Young man, you don't have to be so low, I said, you have a rich and noble appearance, and it will be unspeakably expensive in the future!" ”

Tang Ning was slightly stunned when he heard this, what this person said was so sure, as if what he said was taken for granted, this is, into the play? And it's not shallow to get into the play!

Tang Ning naturally didn't believe it, he had no relatives in Beijing, let alone old knowledge, and the only noble person he knew was the pearl of General Zhenyuan's palm. The reason why I know people is because I punched the girl's delicate nose with a strong punch, and you said that I would be rich and rich in Beijing? The devil believes it!

Tang Ning took a bite of noodles, and then smiled: "Uncle, you seem to be very confident in your physiognomy technique?" Uncle, why don't you see where I'm from? ”

The middle-aged uncle didn't move the noodles on the table, and smiled with great interest: "Well, you're from the west!" ”

Tang Ning was slightly shocked when he heard this, could it be that he was targeted by someone before he entered Beijing? No, isn't it easy to live in Kyoto to such an extent? Even a poor sour boy like himself was targeted early, it seems that it is not easy to be a liar, the competition is so fierce!

At this time, Tang Ning and Qing Bo finished eating noodles, Tang Ning took out the money bag, and said with a smile while counting the money: "I said uncle, you can't count accurately!" I don't know if I will be rich and rich, I only know that in half a month I will have a bloody disaster! ”

Half a month later, it will be the martial arts election, and the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes said with a smile: "After half a month, you won't feel that it is not easy to live in Kyoto!" ”

Isn't that a curse to be beaten to death? Tang Ning was angry in his heart, this man was crow's mouth, but there are many of you, and you are reasonable.

Tang Ning smiled: "I left Beijing in half a month, a bowl of fifteen yuan, although it is the most delicious noodles I have ever tasted, but it is more expensive!" It's better to leave Beijing early! ”

After finishing speaking, Tang Ning put the thirty coins on the table and said to the boss: "Boss, thirty coins are on the table, you count!" ”

The boss was busy, looked up at the table and smiled: "Don't count, don't count, trust!" ”

Tang Ning and Qing Bo drove away in the old carriage, and the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes looked at the old carriage gradually disappearing into the night, and looked down at the neat thirty yuan on the table opposite, looking very lonely.

I saw him sigh and get up and come to the table, stretched out his fingers with an emerald jade wrench and began to pick up the money on the table, one by one, very seriously, just like Tang Ning counted the money just now.

"Hey, guest, what are you doing here?" When the boss saw this scene, he was immediately anxious, and hurriedly walked over.

The middle-aged man in Chinese clothes was unmoved when he heard this, and one of the leaders of the several people who followed him stopped the boss, and a white silver ingot had already appeared in his palm.

He put the silver in the boss's hand and said lightly: "No need to look for it!" ”
