Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 117 Mr Tang
Being eaten and drank by others, those small officials were a little upset at first, but when they saw the food delivered by Deyuelou, they immediately felt relieved: this is a piece of crispy meat the size of a palm, steamed fish with thick arms, big fists. The lion's head, and the whole roasted whole lamb, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, are overflowing with fragrance, making people's mouth water from far away!

This table will cost at least 20 taels of silver!

Even the days when the salary is paid, there are no such rich dishes!

More than a dozen small officials held their rice bowls and ate in the public house outside in full swing.

Mentioning Zhao Xiwei made me feel a little more cordial: "This Miss Zhao is worthy of being the daughter of the Xiangye's mansion, and she is generous! It would be great if she came to our household every day, wouldn't we be able to eat every day?" Big fish and big meat?!"

And Tang Heng in the room seemed a little preoccupied.

While drinking, he couldn't stop thinking about Li Xuanye's words and deeds.

The case of the third wife of the Zhao family was a hot potato for him, but it was ordered by the queen mother, so how could he, a small official of [-] shi, challenge the queen mother?
If you follow the order and investigate to the end, it's fine if you don't find out anything. If it is really found out that Sun's tampered with his household registration, and a charge of being a good and lowly unmarried person is charged, the Zhao family will definitely suffer. The hat must be taken off, too.

Therefore, after being arrested for two days, he did not act for a long time.He even went to Yemensi with great fanfare to borrow people under the pretext that there was not enough manpower, just to wait for Zhao Ziyi to come to discuss countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziyi is even an old fox, and he put on a posture of avoiding suspicion, and it turned out that he had all the power to make a decision.

He was so worried that he didn't sleep well for two nights, so he had to ask his boss, Jing Zhaoyin, Cui Yan for help. Cui Yan didn't say anything, but just told him don't worry, and sent him out.

He came out of Cui's mansion with a sigh, and he didn't want to understand what kind of medicine was sold in Cui Yan's gourd.

This case is not dealt with, and it's okay not to deal with it, so Tang Heng thought of a way: procrastinate.

So as soon as he returned to the government office, he slumped down on the bamboo rattan chair, planning to lie down until midnight before getting up, and then go to the public kitchen for a supper before returning home.

Unexpectedly, with half-closed eyes, one of the subordinates came down to report: The young lady of the Zhao residence is here!

Then someone ran in to report: The son of Cui's mansion is here too!

Then someone reported: The eldest son of the Pei family is also here!
Before getting up, another subordinate rushed in and said out of breath, "My lord, your highness is coming!"

Tang Heng sat up immediately, reached out to pick up the shoes on the ground, and hurriedly put them on his feet, but because he was too anxious, the shoes couldn't be inserted anyway, so the subordinate rushed to help when he saw this, and he slapped him on the head Up: "Leave me alone, go out and meet His Highness!"

Respectfully welcoming the prince into the public house, Tang Heng was more nervous than seeing the emperor for the first time.

Everyone knew that the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother were at odds, and that he came to Hucao suddenly must be because of the Zhao Mansion.

Just looking at it for a long time, it seems that His Royal Highness didn't mean to embarrass him at all, but instead asked him to move piles of materials for that Miss Zhao to read slowly.

He was so startled that he almost bit his tongue, wondering if His Highness the Crown Prince was trying to get along with Miss Zhao?
So the look in Zhao Xiwei's eyes became more and more complicated. She is a good girl, who do you think is wrong to offend, why did you offend the present prince? !

He thought painfully in his heart, it's over, it seems that the case of the Zhao family will be thoroughly investigated to the end!

But when the prince left, he specifically asked himself to send Miss Zhao back, and all his original speculations were overturned immediately.

He thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

His official position is neither big nor small, and he shuttled between various government offices, and he has developed a wealth of skills in observing words and demeanor.

The prince has always been a calm person, even the senior officials in the court praised him for his legacy of the great ancestors, and he rarely showed his emotions, but today he changed his face many times to Miss Zhao.

If it's just sarcasm, why did he specifically order him to send Miss Zhao back home?

Thinking about him, Tang Heng is also a dignified official of the imperial court after all, how could he be reduced to the point of being a groom for Miss Qianjin!

Is this... really a sign of nuisance?Not like, too unlike!

Seems to be some care?
Yes, yes, it definitely means taking care of, maintaining, and caring about!
After thinking about it, Tang Heng slapped the table and stood up.

Surprised, Cui Yutang's wine glass swung: "Master Tang, what's wrong with you?"

Tang Heng hurriedly poured himself half a glass of wine, and respected several people from a distance: "Hey, it's nothing, I'm just happy! I can have dinner with Duhou Pei and Cui, and the two young ladies are also willing to appreciate it." The face of our Hu Cao, I feel very happy!"

Cui Yutang raised his wine glass happily: "Where is it, I have heard that your food is delicious, and I can finally have a good meal today. I should thank Mr. Tang."

Pei Linfeng returned the toast with a modest expression: "Master Tang, you are welcome. You are our senior. It is also a blessing for the younger generation to be able to sit here and eat together."

Pei Linfeng and Cui Yutang were responsible for the defense of the inner palace, closer to the emperor, and closer to power.

Tang Heng didn't dare to put on airs like a senior in front of them, and hurriedly responded with a smile: "Both of you are being polite, I'm a lowly official, so how dare I pretend to be a senior."

Zhao Xiwei heard his embarrassment, so he smiled and said: "Master Tang is really humble. You are both excellent in calligraphy and painting, and you can never forget your calligraphy and painting. Even His Majesty praised your calligraphy and painting, saying that you are a good minister from heaven. .But now they are talking about a nameless person to us, I am afraid they are deliberately offending us juniors."

Just a few words gave Tang Heng enough face, which made him very useful.

Unexpectedly, Miss Zhao looked shy and timid in front of the prince, but she looked so smart when she was queen.

interesting!
Tang Heng's small thoughts began to turn again: Is there any subtle relationship between them?

As soon as he thought of this thought, his eyes flickered when he looked at Zhao Xiwei.

Maybe!

This Miss Zhao is beautiful and well-behaved, it's normal for the prince to take a fancy to her!
Nothing!
As a middle-aged genius with an unforgettable memory, Tang Heng has always been very confident in his intuition.

So in this harmonious banquet, no one knew that Mr. Hu Caotang had secretly poked a bold idea: if he was a matchmaker for the prince, would he be able to be promoted next year?

Not to mention how high the official position is, it's good to be an official of the East Palace!

The more Tang Heng thought about it, the happier he became, his eyes were blurred, and he asked Zhao Xiwei very attentively: "Are you used to eating the food of the public chef? Ours is not as exquisite as yours. The good thing is that there are many styles. Today There is also stewed mushrooms with wild ducks, the official asked someone to remind them."

Zhao Xiwei didn't know what Tang Heng was up to, just thought he was such an easy-going personality, and started talking with a smile: "Is Mr. Tang from Jiangnan?"

****
Tang Heng: When it comes to CP, I am a professional!
