Chapter 74 Tang Shujing is scolded
"Daddy is hosting a banquet today, you can go if you want!"
Before she finished her words, the extremely angry Tang Shujing jumped on her horse and urged it to go away as fast as an arrow with the sound of horse hooves.
Captain Lin bowed to Su Xian, then mounted his horse with two young detectives and chased after him.
It turned out that he was here to invite me to a banquet. It seemed that the work at the government office had been finished... Su Xian turned around and went home with breakfast and stinky tofu .
It is said that Tang Shujing rode her horse out of Jiaolou Street and ran for a while before stopping. Captain Lin and others also stopped.
Tang Shujing dismounted and glanced at the stinky tofu that Captain Lin had not yet eaten.
Captain Lin was also a smart man. He smiled and offered the stinky tofu, saying, "Second Miss, please have some. It's still hot."
"I will not eat!"
Tang Shujing glanced at him calmly and looked away, her pretty face still showing a look of anger.
The smile on Captain Lin's face froze. Not eating? Did he guess wrong?
Just as I was wondering, I heard Tang Shujing add, "I don't eat the stinky tofu that Su Xian bought!"
I see... Captain Lin understood and said, "Second Miss, please wait here for a moment. I will go and buy another one."
Seeing Tang Shujing nod, Captain Lin immediately jumped on his horse, but just as he was about to urge his horse to set off, he heard Tang Shujing say, "Buy two servings, I want to eat my fill!"
"Okay." Captain Lin scratched his head and left.
Half a quarter of an hour later.
Captain Lin returned with two servings of fresh stinky tofu.
Tang Shujing gritted her teeth and finished two servings of stinky tofu before she mounted her horse and returned to the county government office... to report?
…
the other side.
After Su Xian returned home, he went up to the study on the second floor and finished all the breakfast with Yang Zhilan before he told her that they would go to the county government office at noon.
"I should be back late at noon, so you can make some porridge for me at home and boil two eggs." Su Xian said.
"good."
"By the way, can you... cook porridge?" Su Xian looked at Yang Zhilan's calm face.
"Yes!" Yang Zhilan's tone was very affirmative.
"you sure?"
"Sure!"
"But you also said you would light a fire to boil water for bathing, and the house almost caught fire." Su Xian ruthlessly exposed her scars.
The corners of Yang Zhilan's eyes twitched slightly, then returned to normal and stopped talking.
Su Xian stood up and walked downstairs, saying, "Come with me, I'll teach you how to make porridge..."
Everything was arranged and it was almost noon. Su Xian went out, rented a carriage and went straight to the county government office.
…
County government office.
In the duty room of County Magistrate Tang Ju.
Tang Ju and the county lieutenant were sitting together chatting.
"I didn't expect that the murder case on the city wall would involve the inner guards. No wonder we couldn't find any clues." The county lieutenant shook his head, feeling slightly afraid. "If Princess Lanling comes to Leshou County, the best outcome for us would be dismissal from office!"
"Fortunately, Master Su Xian showed up in time yesterday and provided key clues, proving that the murdered man in black was a member of the Internal Guard... In this way, we only need to report the case."
"Now that the case has been reported, our Leshou County Office no longer has any loopholes. Even if Princess Lanling comes in person, we are not afraid. Hahahaha..."
The county lieutenant started laughing as he spoke. Now that he had secured his official position, it was natural for him to be happy.
Tang Ju also nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for nephew Su Xian sending us the key clues, all of us in the government would be doomed. Haha, nephew Su Xian can be said to have saved our official positions with his own efforts!"
The county lieutenant suddenly remembered something, stopped smiling and asked, "Mingshou, what about the reward?"
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Since I've said I'll offer a reward, I won't go back on my word," said Tang Ju.
"I heard that Su Xian is the son of Mr. Ming's former classmate, so they already have this friendship. Now that Su Xian has kept our official positions, I'm afraid our relationship will become even closer!"
"Of course!" Tang Ju nodded and said, "I originally wanted to take care of my nephew Su. Now, I should find a way to promote him."
The county lieutenant said: "But Master Su is still studying in the county school and has no official title..."
“…”
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly a clerk outside the door announced: "The second young lady is back!"
Tang Ju was shocked, stood up and said with a smile: "Just now I sent Jing'er to invite Nephew Su, and if we calculate the time... it should have arrived a long time ago, right? Let's go and meet Nephew Su first."
When the two of them left the duty room, Tang Ju asked the clerk, "Just now you reported that everyone except nephew Su Xian has arrived?"
"Yes!" said the clerk.
"Well, then give the order and prepare for the banquet!"
The clerks left to make arrangements. Tang Ju and the county lieutenant walked towards the gate of the county government office, ready to personally welcome Su Xian, the great contributor to the entire county government.
But halfway through the journey, they saw Tang Shujing and Captain Lin walking towards them, with her head hung.
"Jing'er, you're here." Tang Ju went to greet her with a smile, but after looking around for several times, he couldn't see the real person, Su Xian.
"Where is nephew Su?" The smile on Tang Ju's face disappeared for the most part. He turned his head and stared at Tang Shujing, who still had her head hung down.
"that……"
"Is he still outside the government office?"
Tang Ju guessed, and then said angrily: "I told you long ago that nephew Su is a great contributor to our family. If it weren't for nephew Su, I wouldn't have the official hat on my head!"
"You should just in. Why do you want to leave nephew Su outside the yamen?" Tang Ju's face became serious.
The county lieutenant quietly stepped aside, muttering to himself that what Tang Shujing did was outrageous, because Su Xian also saved his official position at the same time.
Captain Lin, who was standing behind Tang Shujing, scratched his head and ears, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself.
Just now, near Jiaolou Street, after Tang Shujing finished eating two servings of stinky tofu, she finally remembered the purpose of her trip.
Bring Su Xian to the county government office for a banquet.
But Tang Shujing was so angry that she forgot about it.
Fortunately, before leaving, he told Su Xian that he would be invited to a banquet today.
Su Xian should... hire a car to go to the county government office by himself, right?
Tang Shujing, who was too embarrassed to go back to find Su Xian, comforted herself in this way, and then returned to the county government office with her men, intending to report to Tang Ju after Su Xian arrived.
However, they waited outside the county government office for a long time, but there was no sign of Su Xian...
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner and the banquet was about to begin, Tang Shujing had no choice but to go back to the county government office to report to Tang Ju.
"Um... Daddy, please calm down."
Tang Shujing was fearless except for this old man. Especially now that Tang Ju was vaguely angry, she completely lost her confidence.
"Su Xian...Su Xian...my daughter didn't bring her here..." Tang Shujing said with her head down.
Didn't bring him?!
Tang Ju was stunned for a moment, then he flew into a rage and said coldly, "You didn't bring him? You didn't bring him! The banquet is about to begin, and you actually told me that you didn't bring the real host?"
Every time Tang Ju spoke, Tang Shujing's tall body shrank back.
"What's going on?" Tang Ju asked. He was really angry this time.
