Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

"That guy Liu Suifeng is going to fight", Zhang Xiangwen's head was full of oil and sweat, and the expression on his face was filled with righteous indignation and excitement, which seemed very strange, "He wants to challenge us after school at noon".

After saying this sentence, Zhang Xiangwen turned around and squeezed into the crowd again, his voice could be heard from afar, "Zhan, this guy dares to compare four books and five classics with us! Damn it, a man can't be cowardly, Zhan , we must fight, we must destroy his prestige."

Tang Cheng had a different mentality, and he wasn't really interested in this kind of campus competition. After listening to it, he returned to his seat. After he sat down, he suddenly remembered Liu Suifeng's strange eyes yesterday afternoon. .

Don't challenge early, don't challenge later, isn't the time he chose a bit too coincidental?

Throughout the morning, the atmosphere in the classroom was a little restless, and it became more and more so as the time approached the beginning of noon, so that the teacher's complexion did not feel better throughout the morning, and the number of students who were punished by the ruler reached thirteen for the first time. On average, there are three or four classes in each class, among which there are several good students recognized by undergraduates.

Amidst the crackling sound of the ruler, it was finally the beginning of noon. Before the black-faced gentleman had completely walked out of the classroom, many students rushed to the window to look out impatiently.

"Here, here, Liu Suifeng has left the school building, and he is coming this way." The school buildings of the Jinshi Department and the Ming Jing Department are in the front and back rows, so they can see very clearly. There was a crackling sound, and the books that were packing up were ignored, and the students just threw them away and ran out.

"Oh, my good brother, don't hurry up." Zhang Xiangwen rushed over to pull Tang Cheng who was packing up the scrolls, but forgot that his hand had just touched the three-rule ruler firmly, and when he touched it, he immediately "Oh With a cry, he quickly changed his hand and dragged Tang Cheng out.

After all, it was a major matter involving the whole class. Although Tang Cheng had something to do, he couldn't leave first, so he followed Zhang Xiangwen out of the school building.

Liu Suifeng arrived in a short time, and naturally a group of Jinshi scholars followed behind him, but the few at the head were familiar, and they were the scholars who were also selected to help the county government.

Seeing this battle, Tang Chengcheng faintly felt that Liu Suifeng's sudden challenge might have something to do with him.

"Look at this guy's insanity," Zhang Xiangwen said with a look of displeasure, "I don't want him to be dressed in white every day, just like Mr. Rabbit in Huashen Street."

These words made Tang Cheng smile, the Liu Suifeng in front of him really had a weird way of dressing, he had to wear pure white.

Chapter 55 There is an uproar, the audience is in an uproar!

Right now it's time to leave school, the other scientists immediately understood everything when they saw this posture and Liu Suifeng, and they all gathered around to watch the fun, and after a while, the surroundings were crowded. Even the peach trees planted specially to separate the school buildings were jumped up, only to ravage the peach blossoms that had been damaged by the wind and rain last night.

Seeing that the gathering was almost complete, Liu Suifeng looked at the few people standing opposite him and said, "I have something to do in the afternoon, let's start now."

"Look, brother, look, what has become of this guy's madness!" Zhang Xiangwen turned around vigorously, trying to frustrate the people who were tightly crowded around him, "If it's more like punching or kicking, I have to punch first His face, and then he stretched out his feet and kicked him, making you white, I will make you white!".

Ignoring the overly excited Zhang Xiangwen, the competition over there has already started in full view.

This is the first time for Tang Cheng to witness Liu Suifeng's talent show with his own eyes. No wonder he is so arrogant. Classics should not be his strong point no matter what, but after this comparison, he found that his foundation in the Four Books and Five Classics is very solid. This kind of solidity is not only difficult for Tang Cheng to compare, but even the famous top students in the same class are also incomparable. I can't stand it.

Tang Cheng's class recommended three people to compare with Liu Suifeng. The first two were compared with "The Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius". The two were immediately defeated by comparison.

Tang Cheng had only been in school for a short time, so he couldn't see much yet, but the third contestant, Wang Jiaxiang, had seen a lot from the previous two competitions. This Liu Suifeng was not only smart, but also rich in family education.Many of the ordinance records and book titles he cites casually have not even been seen by him, a student of Mingjing.

Printing began in the Sui Dynasty. Speaking of the early Tang Dynasty, the development of printing is still very short, and the printing is not clay type, but woodblock printing, which is extremely difficult to make plates.Therefore, books are very precious. For scholars, there are often many books that have only heard the names but never seen the real version.Against such a background, many children from rich families have a natural advantage in learning.

Seeing that the odds of winning against Jingyi were not great, Wang Jiaxiang thought of taking risks and reported the "Shangshu" at once.Shangshu is the first narrative prose in the pre-Qin period, and it is a compilation of historical materials of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.Leaving aside the fact that the text of this book itself is abysmal, the content of the book alone is mostly proclamations and exhortations, which are far less easy to memorize than rhymed poems and prose.Choosing this, he just wanted to compete with Liu Suifeng in endorsement skills.

We are Mingjing subjects, and endorsement is the best basic skill.

"This guy is not all a nerd!" After hearing Wang Jiaxiang's report of "Shangshu", Zhang Xiangwen, like other scholars of Mingjing, finally had a gloating smile on his gloomy face.

It's a pity that the smile on his face didn't last long, and he was blown away by Liu Suifeng's outstanding performance. This guy is really a fucking all-rounder, and he was taken aback by a sleazy "Shangshu" The back is clear and clear.

"Second brother, Liu Suifeng is crazy, but he does have the capital to be crazy." When Tang Cheng saw this, he couldn't help admiring this crazy student in his heart. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he could be like him. No matter how crazy you are, you can talk about it.

Since it was a risk, Wang Jiaxiang's reporting of "Shangshu" was actually a way of supporting Liu Suifeng so fiercely, he had no choice but to lose.

Three defeats and three defeats, Liu Suifeng continued his streak of victories, but the faces of students in Tang Cheng's class fell to the ground. Seeing Wang Jiaxiang's defeat, the students stayed here lazily to watch Liu Suifeng's arrogance With a stinky face, he was ready to rush away before turning around.

Just at this time, Liu Suifeng's voice came leisurely and said: "Brother Tang has a brocade hidden in his chest, I don't know if I can teach you?".

Since Liu Suifeng entered the county school at the beginning of the year and started his challenge journey, it was one person against one subject, and this was the first time that he challenged an individual, which immediately aroused the interest of the audience, and everyone's eyes were on Liu Suifeng. Searched among the people at the attention point, wanting to see who was so flamboyant that Liu Kuangsheng called him to invite him to fight.

Then, Tang Cheng was easily selected from the crowd. The reason was too simple. In his class, there was no other person surnamed Tang besides him.

Zhang Xiangwen, who was following Tang Cheng, was taken aback for a moment, and then became extremely excited, "This guy is calling for a fight, brother, even if we lose, we will fight him to the end. If he dares to win in front of you, he will be crazy, brother, I will immediately Just ask him to challenge him and see if I can beat him to death!", I have been classmates for a while, Tang Cheng's academic performance is still good, although he is pushing Tang Cheng in his hands, his words are obviously lacking in confidence.

Tang Cheng turned his head to look, and the people watching the excitement around him were all focused on him, and the classmates in the class also looked at him with the eyes of the same enemy. Although he was not interested in this kind of childish competition, but at the moment Even if I want to leave, I can't.Besides, he was really annoyed by Liu Suifeng's actions.

If you win, you will win, if you are crazy, you will be crazy, why do you have to provoke me?The purpose of doing this is clearly to humiliate me in full view.

"Okay, I'll compare with you." Tang Cheng, who walked out of the crowd, smoothed the wrinkled tunic and said to Liu Suifeng with a smile: "But I'm not comparing Mingjing, I want to compare with you... impromptu Fu poetry".

There was an uproar, the audience was in an uproar!

Liu Suifeng from the Jinshi Department came to challenge the Mingjing, but this student named Tang from the Mingjing Department wanted to challenge the poems, repay the other with the way, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, don’t compare, dare to say this He was so bullish, and he felt refreshed after listening to it, and after a moment of surprise, all the scholars of Mingjing Jing burst into applause, "Old Tang, good job!".

Impromptu poetry!Hearing what Tang Cheng said, Liu Suifeng was obviously stunned for a moment, but the Jinshi science students who came with him were already smiling, but their smiles were different from those of Tang Cheng's classmate.If he really had a talent for poetry and prose, would he still go to study Mingjing by rote?Liu Wuya is recognized as a genius by undergraduates, he composes poems impromptuly, I'm going to kill you!

Liu Wuya's daze was only a blink of an eye, and then the corner of his mouth slightly curled up and said: "Okay!".

Chapter 56 Three thousand petals of remnant red, less than one fresh

"Since it is the content of the competition that I chose, you will come up with the title of the poem." As soon as Tang Cheng said the words, there was another burst of applause.

Firstly, when he chose the content of the competition, he was tit for tat, and then he was generous in the topic. This Tang Cheng used the weak to beat the strong, but he didn't take advantage of it. Then, his calmness and composure when facing Liu Suifeng was more timid than before. The three of Wang Jiaxiang who are satisfied are much stronger.I really didn't expect that Old Tang, who had always been quiet in class, would have such a side.

After Liu Suifeng took a deep look at Tang Cheng, he turned his head slightly with a smile and said, "Students, how about I ask you to choose a topic?" He was always proud, and what he meant was that he didn't want to take advantage of Tang Cheng. It's half as cheap.

"Okay! In fact, there is nothing else to compare." After casually looking around, the Jinshi scholars who followed Liu Suifeng looked around, and then selected the target. The tree is the topic, and the time limit for two sticks of incense is limited. As for the quality of the poem, everyone has their own opinions."

With their finger pointing, the students who had climbed up the peach tree to watch the excitement due to too many people hurriedly slipped down from the tree.

The season is early March, and it was the time when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Originally, the peach tree they had chosen was also blooming well, but the peach blossoms of this tree had gone through a storm last night, and just now some students jumped up and rubbed against each other. At this time, it looks like a flower withered stamen.When singing about the peach tree in spring, the highlight is the flowers. How can you sing about it now?

The many students watching the excitement looked at the peach tree, then at Liu Suifeng and Tang Cheng, and then at the peach tree, and silently gave way to the road to the peach tree.

When Tang Cheng and Liu Suifeng arrived, everyone within three feet of the peach tree had retreated consciously, and the increasingly crowded crowd quietly watched the contestants circle around the peach tree.

Standing quietly under the tree, after looking at half of the residual red and the petals on the ground, Tang Cheng raised his head and walked carefully on the branches, following the dark trunk soaked in the night rain to the lush green peach leaves, he I happened to see a peach blossom just blooming at the front of this upturned branch.

Blowing the warm spring breeze, against the backdrop of the redness of the ground, this peach blossom that has just bloomed is so delicate and eye-catching, exuding vigorous vitality.

Staring carefully under the flowers for a long time, the familiar lines of poetry emerged from the bottom of Tang Cheng's heart. At this moment, Liu Suifeng also had a final composition. Without waiting for Tang Cheng, he chanted loudly:

The peach blossoms bloom first in the warm spring, and no one will miss the beauty.It's a pity that the showers are behind, and there are red patches and berry moss.

This poem of his is purely realistic. The line "Who doesn't look bright" is as straightforward as a vernacular, but it is better than freshness, and it is easy to read. "Remnant Red Pieces" only uses four characters to outline a scene of flower remnants all over the ground, especially the last character "dot" is extremely elegant, and it is very good at refining characters.Looking at the whole poem, it is really good. If you consider that this is an impromptu poem recited in a short period of time, the evaluation can be even higher.

The onlookers are all scholars from the county school, even if they can't do it themselves, they usually memorize a lot, and they still have the basic appreciation ability, although most of the students usually don't like Liu Suifeng's madness. However, seeing that he has such talent at this moment, it is impossible to say "good".

Mingjing Scientist, who was originally excited by Tang Cheng's performance just now, was depressed after hearing this poem. Poetry is not like Mingjing, which can produce results with hard work. It values ​​talent more.Hey, it's impossible to be full of energy rather than full of talent.

Standing in front of the crowd, after listening to Liu Suifeng's poem, Zhang Xiangwen gritted his teeth and put his hands together for a while, regardless of the ruler he had just touched. Damn it, he just waited for the end of the competition. It's time to go forward and challenge Liu Suifeng with fists and kicks.If you don't beat this Mr. Rabbit until his face is full of flowers, you won't be able to relieve the pent-up hatred in your heart.

For Liu Suifeng, it was as if he didn't hear the applause around him. After singing, he turned to Tang Cheng and said, "Brother Tang, please."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng looked at Liu Suifeng and then at the crowd, and then recited the same peach blossom poem:

In March, the spring returns to the rainy day, and the green peach blossoms feel the fleeting year.There are still [-] petals of remnant red, not as fresh as the first opened one!

As soon as Tang Chengyin uttered the first two sentences, Liu Suifeng frowned, and his expression changed.Also writing about the peach blossoms after the wind and rain in spring, "Spring returns to the wind and rain in March" is better than his "Peach blossoms bloom first when the spring is warm" in terms of words and picture structure, while Tang Cheng's second sentence "Betao After the very light sadness of "Flowering the Fleeting Years", there is also a vague philosophical thinking about the passing of time, which sublimates the whole poem in terms of artistic conception.

After listening to Tang Cheng's last two sentences, Liu Suifeng already knew that he had completely lost this competition.He is purely realistic, and although the realistic writing is good, the "remnant red flakes" reveal a completely bleak scene, which is inconsistent with the "spring" mentioned in the first sentence.In fact, it has already committed a big taboo.But although Tang Cheng also wrote "three thousand petals of remnant red", he wrote this sentence purely as a foreshadowing for the last sentence "not as good as the first branch".

Tang Cheng's poem, needless to say, uses words and refines words. Although the feelings of spring rain are ruthless and spring thoughts are light, but on the whole it maintains the hope of spring and the vitality of spring. The combination of feelings restores the spring that is actually felt in reality.

Although they both chanted peaches, Liu Suifeng chanted the remnant red, while Tang Chengyong chanted the new flowers after the storm. In general, these two poems are good or bad, and they corresponded to the last two poems of Tang Cheng's poem. Sentence: There are still [-] petals of remnant red, which is not as fresh as the first opened one!

Liu Suifeng wrote well, but Tang Chengyin wrote a good one.In this competition, he ended in complete defeat!

"I lost!", Liu Suifeng's words were very straightforward, and he lost very arrogantly, "If there is a chance in the future, I will compete with Brother Tang again." After saying this, he turned around and left.

Liu Suifeng, an all-round scholar who had won consecutive victories in the county school recently, finally lost, but he lost so simply, even those who have always looked down on him have to admit that this guy's defeat is upright, and he can't lose No shame.

It wasn't until Liu Suifeng turned around and took three or four steps that the cheers of the Mingjing scholars who finished tasting Tang Cheng's poems sounded.Liu Suifeng, who was so powerful in the limelight, was finally killed, and he was killed by Mingjing Kezi in the competition of poetry recitation, how glorious it is!Although they didn't do it, it was an honor to be Tang Cheng's classmate.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, it was the time when he was easily excited, and then Tang Chengcheng felt a crackling sound on his shoulders and arms. Almost everyone of the 30 people in the same class rushed up and punched him. Not enough to vent the excitement.Zhang Xiangwen stood beside him, without a slap on his face, he was already smiling like a flower.

"Big brother is really big brother. See if Liu Suifeng is still crazy. After what happened just now, big brother, you have become famous in the county school. I guarantee that all the students in the county school will know you in one day." Finally squeezed out from the crowd, Tang Cheng, who had something on his mind, saw that Zhang Xiangwen was making a lot of noise, so he simply ignored him and hurried away.

After leaving the gate of the county school, Tang Cheng originally planned to leave by himself, but when he saw the waiting carriage of Zhang Xiangwen's family, he immediately changed his direction, "I have something urgent, use your carriage to take me to Tianfu Temple in the north of the city first."

"Is there something urgent? Then why are you still riding a car? It's much faster to ride a horse." Zhang Xiangwen said, beckoning to the two long entourages who followed the car to bring the horse over.

Looking at the reins of the horse handed over by Zhang Xiangwen, Tang Cheng could only say helplessly: "I can't ride?".

"You don't know how to ride a horse?" No wonder Zhang Xiangwen was surprised. To the people of Tang Dynasty, horses are like bicycles in later generations. Of course, horses in Tang Dynasty must be much more expensive than bicycles in later generations.But like the bicycles of later generations, horses are also an essential tool for travel in this era, especially for scholars, who are close enough to visit relatives and friends, and far away to travel and take exams. Almost all of their feet are horses. Tang Cheng is so old that he can't ride a horse. Just like the high school boy in later generations who can't ride a bicycle, it will inevitably make people surprised.

"No, no, no." Seeing Zhang Xiangwen's fussy face, Tang Cheng also felt a little awkward on his face, so he didn't take the reins, turned around and got on the carriage, "Hurry up."

After Zhang Xiangwen got into the car, he immediately offered to teach Tang Chengxue how to ride a horse. The reason was good, "You are my elder brother, and you are a person who has just made a splash. You can't even ride a horse. If you spread the word, you will throw me a lot of people." ...".

Tang Cheng had only one feeling about this, and that was: Speechless!

Chapter 57 A one-year appointment

The carriage stopped outside Tianfu Temple. Zhang Xiangwen, who had just jumped out of the carriage, was attracted by the horse tied in front of the temple gate, "Brother, come and see, what a beautiful horse."

Tang Cheng got out of the car, and saw that the horse was really beautiful, not to mention the tall and majestic horse. The hair patterns on its body were like copper coins, forming small internal turns and arranged neatly together. From a distance, it looked like a horse. It looks like a layer of armor is put on the horse, which is really beautiful.

"This is a purebred horse with five flowers and even money. Look at how fine and neat the fur is. I didn't know when there was such a good horse in our county..." Zhang Xiangwen was still muttering, but was caught Tang Cheng, who was worried about time, dragged him to the gate of the temple.

It was still the same small courtyard as last time, but the old monk did not play the piano today. When Tang Cheng walked into the simply decorated abbot, he unexpectedly found that Liu Suifeng, who had just competed in the county school, was standing inside, holding a With an unfolded scroll.

Liu Suifeng didn't expect to see Tang Cheng here, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and the old monk Chengning's words sounded softly next to him, "In the process of learning painting, the most important thing in the later stage is to use your heart and understanding, but in the early stage But you need solid hard work, you have all the wisdom, but you can't be fooled by your cleverness."

When Liu Suifeng nodded, he had already put away the scroll, as if afraid of being seen by Tang Cheng.

Seeing this, I couldn't understand more, this Liu Suifeng, like himself, is also learning painting from the old monk Chengning.

"Well, you go first," Cheng Ning raised his hand to Liu Suifeng as a gesture, and then turned his gaze to Tang Cheng.

With Liu Suifeng standing on the side, Tang Cheng couldn't express his apology, but fortunately, this person was also sensible, and went out without delay after collecting the scroll.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained the recent busy situation, and finally sincerely apologized to the old monk.

After the old monk Chengning listened, he was not as angry as Tang Cheng expected, and his expression and tone were still calm, "Since the poor monk accepted the hand-copied "Diamond Sutra" from Old Master Yan, you, a disciple, can't No teaching. Whether you are learning piano or painting, the most important thing is to calm your mind. You have a lot of things to do now, so you don’t have to force it for a while. It's fate."

After finishing these words, the old monk raised his hand slightly as before, "Since you have something to do in the afternoon, go now!".

Seeing that the old monk's attitude towards others was pure and natural, Tang Cheng, who was originally ashamed in his heart, felt relieved, and he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of Cheng Ning. He walked out of the abbot and came to the small courtyard to wait here Zhang Xiangwen grabbed his arm, "I just saw Liu Suifeng coming out of it, why is he here?".

"He's also learning painting from Elder Chengning," Tang Cheng smiled, "It's getting late, why don't you hurry back to eat."

When the two followed each other to the mountain gate, the first thing they saw was Liu Suifeng, who was dressed in white and snowy, standing next to the majestic five-flowered horse.

"I saw a ghost", Zhang Xiangwen muttered in a low voice, and Liu Suifeng had already led the horse over at this time, and said directly to Tang Cheng: "You and I learned the second skill of piano painting with Elder Chengning, and we both just Getting started, since this is the case, it will take about a year, and today, one year later, we will use the piano to draw a shorter and longer one."

Liu Suifeng led the horse and came over, there were clearly two people standing in front of him, but Zhang Xiangwen was like air in his eyes, he didn't even glance at the corner of his eyes, how could this make Young Master Zhang not annoyed?Before Liu Suifeng finished speaking, Zhang Xiangwen sneered first and said: "A defeated general dares to show his courage, let alone a year, even if you practice for ten or twenty years, you will still be a loser."

Liu Suifeng ignored Zhang Xiangwen's provocation at all. After finishing his words, he nodded to Tang Cheng and got on his horse. When Zhang Xiangwen finished speaking, he was already ten steps away. From the beginning to the end, he didn't look at Zhang Xiangwen. The young master took a look.

Tang Cheng originally wanted to say a few words that Zhang Xiangwen shouldn't take care of this matter for him, but seeing his face flushed with anger, he couldn't say anything, so he simply didn't say anything and pulled him up. got the carriage.

Zhang Xiangwen was also spoiled by others since he was a child, where did he experience such contempt and aggrieved?After getting into the carriage, his face was purple and he was sulking. Tang Cheng's persuasion was useless. After the carriage drove far away from Tianfu Temple, he squeezed Tang Cheng's arm fiercely, and said in a hateful voice: "Brother, In the next year's competition, you have to win him no matter what, or else, brother, I will blame you for the rest of my life."

Tang Cheng's mentality has long since shown no interest in this kind of conflict of spirits. If he wins, he won't gain a single penny, and if he loses, he won't lose half a penny. Since winning or losing doesn't pay off, what's there to argue about?But in front of the angry Zhang Xiangwen, he couldn't express his thoughts, he could only respond: "I will do my best, I will do my best!".

After returning home for dinner, Tang Cheng continued to work in the county government office, and then seized the time to study and practice calligraphy at night. When the night came and it was raining, Tang Cheng looked at the light flickering slightly through the window, and sighed a few times in a daze. Fate is not good. It is said that the pace of life in ancient times was slow, and life should be much easier. But after traveling back in my turn, I was busier than in later generations, hey!Life is bitter!

The next few days were lackluster, and Tang Cheng maintained a three-point-one-line life every day, busy back and forth between the county school, residence, and county government.If there is any change, it is that he has almost made up the homework of the "Four Books". At any rate, there are other students' notes that can be borrowed, and it is much faster to learn the essence of it than blindly self-study.

Another thing worth mentioning is that after a competition with Liu Suifeng that day, Tang Guoguo, who was originally very low-key, really became famous in the first battle as Zhang Xiangwen said. Thanks to Liu Suifeng's high attention, he completely defeated the "all-rounder" The "Ming Jing Scientist" has become a well-known figure in the county school.

Due to his state of mind, Tang Cheng didn't have the heart to make a splash in the county school. With his consistent low profile, the enthusiasm of the county school students to pay attention to him gradually cooled down, but it was also thanks to him In contrast to Liu Suifeng's low-key identity, Tang Cheng unexpectedly got a "gentle and honest, reserved and respectful" reputation without any intention of planting flowers. Tang Cheng was really dumbfounded when he heard this fair comment.

In fact, I just don't want to compete with a group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old brats, this evaluation is too high!

Spring is fleeting, and it will be April in a blink of an eye. The jacket under the tunic and Confucian uniform can no longer be worn, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. At noon that day, Tang Cheng came back from the county school and entered through the concierge. After entering the courtyard for the first time, I saw a carriage parked in the courtyard, and the lady of the Gao family who was in charge of the stove was busy in the kitchen with her daughter.

Seeing this scene, Tang Chengli knew that Mrs. Gao Li had arrived at the county seat.

After entering the second courtyard, as expected, I saw Mrs. Gao Li looking around in the study. She must have just arrived not long ago, and Sister Lan was explaining something to her one by one.There were two maids standing beside them, they looked pretty good, but their eyes looked a bit chaotic, and their hands and feet were a little bigger. They should be the maids Gao Li bought from the mountain after Lancao left.

The two girls didn't know Tang Cheng, and when they saw a young man walking in the inner courtyard, they immediately called out "Yeah".

"What's the fuss, there's no rules..." Gao Li, who was looking at Tang Cheng's study with great interest, turned his head and saw Tang Cheng, who was standing at the door of the study with a smile, but couldn't say anything after that.

"The two of you follow me to the kitchen in the front yard to see if there is anything I can help you with." Sister Lan slipped a glance at Tang Cheng with a half-smile in her eyes, and led the two ignorant-looking girls out of the courtyard gate. With the sound of closing the door with a "squeak", Gao Li's eyes staring at Tang Cheng suddenly swayed with a layer of shining waves.

"Are you here?" Perhaps because I hadn't seen him for several months, the atmosphere in the study was a bit raw.

Hearing Tang Cheng's tone was a bit harsh, Gao Li frowned slightly, and stepped forward two steps to snuggle into the man's arms, "You...are you still blaming me?".

Chapter 58 Lianqing is willing to be a concubine!

The woman's arms were tightly around the man's waist, Tang Cheng was slightly startled and realized that what she was talking about was about buying a slave that day.

"Sister Lan has never been out of the house. I was afraid that she would buy the wrong person because of her bad eyesight, so I told her to ask you for instructions first. Although the house is not big, it takes a few servants to take care of it." Gao Li snuggled into Tang Cheng's arms and explained in a low voice: "I really don't mean to force you."

As a woman supporting a huge family business alone, Gao Li's temperament has always been tough in his bones. Tang Cheng knew this a long time ago. If he didn't really care about himself now, why would he explain it so eloquently.
