Chapter 19 Fan the Fire

In February, spring is bright, and thousands of sails gather along the streets of Linhefang. Merchants and pawns from south to north dock here. After a while, they quickly rushed to the next place in their journey of life.

In the small wine shop facing the river bank, the banners sway in the spring breeze.

Tang Jingwen, wearing a dark silk skirt, wrapped her arms around her chest, and looked at the people coming and going in front of the door with a little bored look.

If you are alone, no matter how many people come and go, you won’t leave too much impression. The meaning of “passenger” is, I think that’s what it means.

When there were no guests in the winery, Tang Jingwen often stared like this, watching the setting sun set in the west, watching the clouds rolling and unfolding, and his thoughts also traveled thousands of miles like clouds in the sky, changing and unpredictable.

But for some reason today, I was a little focused when I was in a daze and always thought about being alone.

Tang Jingyan had met many people, but few were familiar with him. He had some interactions with Zuo Lingquan and had a very speculative chat. Knowing that he was running for the prince-consort today, he would inevitably put his mind in Qiyuntai in Dongcheng.

Although Zuo Lingquan didn't want to be the son-in-law, Tang Jingyan still felt that Zuo Lingquan was very suitable to be the son-in-law.

Because Zuo Lingquan's character, appearance, and family background were so good that she could not imagine that besides the charming princess, there was another woman worthy of Zuo Lingquan.

"well……"

Tang Jingyan sighed quietly, and wanted to go to Yuntai to watch the fun, but as her, she obviously couldn't go there. At this time, she could only look at the streets to comfort her.

However, when I looked at it, I found that there was an old detective carrying a knife walking slowly in the middle of the street.

Tang Jingyan looked happy and was energetic. She returned to the wine shop and got a pot of warm wine. When the old detective passed by the door, he greeted him crisply:

"Lao Zhang, what streets are you patrolling at noon? Come in and sit down. Please have a few drinks."

The detective Lao Zhang came for the wine, so he naturally did not refuse. He followed the trend and sat down at the window and laughed:

"Jingyan, why are you so polite today, you are so kind?"

Tang Jingwei is indeed a bit obsessed with money. After all, if you live alone, if you don’t have to make careful calculations, how can you open the door to do business? However, when someone said that he is obsessed with money, Tang Jingwei will definitely not be happy and put the wine pot on the table:

"Hey? I used to invite you less drinks? You brought your colleagues here, but when did I not give you a discount?"

"That's right."

Old Zhang had long been accustomed to this tone, and he laughed, picked up the wine pot and poured a bowl.

Tang Jingwen hummed softly, sat down next to the warm wine stove, his eyes rolled, and asked:

"Old Zhang, do you know if you choose the prince consort on Qiyuntai?"

Lao Zhang and Tang Jingyan's father are old friends. He has watched Tang Jingyan grow up since childhood and knows too much about this girl's personality. He picked up the wine bowl and looked casual:

"Old Zhang, I do a street patrol errands. There are so many noble people in Yuntai, so I am naturally present. I'm not just finished, come and take a break."

Tang Jingyun's eyes lit up, and she quickly got up, took another plate of peanuts and placed them on the table, and sat down opposite the table:

"What's the result? Which young master became the prince's consort?"

Lao Zhang took a sip of rice wine and smashed it. "This is a long story, and I can't finish it if I have less than two pots of wine."

"Hey--"

Tang Jingyan glared at him and wanted to curse him a little, but when he thought about Zuo Lingquan's incident, he felt itchy. Finally, he got up and took another pot and placed it on the table:

"Speak quickly."

Only then did Lao Zhang feel satisfied and said:

"Who else can I choose? The Zuo Master I met before has a clean family background and good character. His princess is as keen as a wise man, so he naturally chose him."

Although Tang Jingwen had expected Zuo Lingquan to be elected, she was still a little surprised to confirm at this time. After she nodded slowly, her face changed again, and she picked up the wine she had just put down:

"A single word is worth two pots of wine? I feel like half a pot of wine..."

"Hey, wait, I haven't finished talking."

Lao Zhang raised his hand and signaled Tang Jingwen to put down the wine, and continued:

"There is no suspense about the prince-consort, but what happened after choosing the prince-consort is interesting."

Tang Jingyan blinked, put the wine back, and asked:

"What? Master Zuo didn't want to be the princess, so he retired from the princess' marriage on the spot?"

Speaking of this, Tang Jing was anxious and stood up:

"He won't be dragged out and killed, right?"

"What are you thinking about? Mr. Zuo is not stupid."

Old Zhang sneered and shook his head and said, "Young Master Zuo is a commoner after all. After all, His Highness the Princess ordered him, but he couldn't refuse. However, your immortal second grandfather came out to gossip again today."

When Tang Jingwen heard this, her face darkened slightly. When she thought of the woman's gossip about yesterday, she guessed something:

"That old man is talking nonsense about the big deal about the Zuo Young Master?"

Lao Zhang lives in Linhefang. When he was fighting for family property, he helped Tang Jingyun find someone to make sense. Naturally, he had no good feelings for the Chen family:

"Yes, I said you spent the night with Mr. Zuo, and you don't know what you are, and you can't be the prince consort."

Bang-

Tang Jingyan patted the table lightly, so angry that she raised her eyebrows and wanted to curse her, but she was worried that rumors would really spread outside. She asked quickly:

"How did Mr. Zuo respond?"

"How else can I respond? You don't know what kind of character Zuo Jung-chan is?"

Tang Jingyan nodded slowly. Although she had only been in contact with Zuo Lingquan for a few days, she knew very well that Zuo Lingquan's character would never be slandered.

"That's good. The Chen family must be reluctant to forgive me, right? Did the princess have any misunderstandings?"

Old Zhang laughed, his eyes a little strange:

"A lonely man and widowed woman stayed all night. Even if Mr. Zuo opened his mouth a hundred times, how could he explain it clearly? The princess couldn't figure out the truth. However, His Highness did not misunderstand it, and... "

Tang Jingwen listened carefully, but found that Lao Zhang was insincere and she glared again:

"What else? I'll pour the wine."

"I also said, saying that if Mr. Zuo is willing, I can bring you into the door together. The princess will be in line with your sisters in the future, so as not to make things difficult for Mr. Zuo."

Tang Jingwen's expression was stunned and it took her a long time to understand what this sentence meant. It was a bit unbelievable:

"Your Highness the Princess is so generous? If I have an affair with Mr. Zuo, would I be willing to bring me in the door?"

Lao Zhang nodded: "Yes, Jingyan, are you willing?"

Tang Jingyun frowned and thought about it, but the answer was quick:

"What a joke? Zuo Gongzi Qingqing and I are innocent. I really agree. Wouldn't it be confirmed that I have an affair with him? He wouldn't agree even if he promised... But I am a city woman, and I can't refuse..."

Thinking of this, Tang Jingwen's eyes were anxious:

"Young Master Zuo won't really agree, right? How could he do this! I won't marry."

Lao Zhang's face was full of smiles and he joked: "How can that be? Mr. Zuo is upright and honest, so how can he joke about himself and your reputation?"

Tang Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief - this is almost the same...

"Besides, you are just a woman in the market. Although she looks good, she is several years older than Zuo Gongzi. The noble son from a noble family is so handsome and he probably doesn't like you, so he naturally didn't agree."

?

"Looking at" is not very lethal to women.

Tang Jingqi's face was slightly stiff and she sat up straight: "Don't talk nonsense, what's wrong with me? I'm just older than Mr. Zuo. If he doesn't like me, how could he run to the door to drink again and again?"

Lao Zhang knew that this would be the reaction, after all, women's homes are like this. He continued to fan the flames and said:

"There are more people drinking on it again and again. It's good for you. Today, His Royal Highness the Princess spoke. Mr. Zuo nodded and could take you back. He just didn't order it. Isn't this not to look down on you? "

"he……"

Tang Jingyan stared at her eyes and was really surrounded by Lao Zhang. She was very angry and even complained to Zuo Lingquan.

However, Tang Jingyan is not a silly girl. Just when she was about to find evidence to prove that Zuo Lingquan looked down on him, she suddenly came back to her senses - what am I doing? She also wanted to prove that Zuo Lingquan liked him?

Thinking of this, Tang Jingyan realized that Lao Zhang was deliberately teasing her, and she slapped the table:

"You are immortal, you have nothing to do, right? You have nothing to do with me, so you naturally won't agree to this ridiculous thing. What does it have to do with whether you look at it?"

After saying that, Tang Jingyan stopped paying attention to Lao Zhang, got up and picked up a broom to sweep the floor, trying to sweep Lao Zhang out.

Crack--

Lao Zhang was just a joke, but when he saw that Tang Jing was not fooled, he stopped talking. He drank the wine in his glass and got up and went out.

Although Tang Jingwen was not fooled, I have to say that Lao Zhang's words were still very annoying - she was a daughter's family and did not get married because she had to keep her family business, but she didn't feel that she couldn't get married.

Zuo Lingquan didn't answer her when he could get her close to the door. Tang Jingyan knew that Zuo Lingquan said this because he was a righteous person, but he had a strange thought in his heart. What if there was a little reason, it was because Zuo Lingquan really looked down on me?

There must be a reason to look down on me. Although I don’t have any other thoughts about you, I don’t have anything bad about you...

Tang Jingyan took a broom and went back and forth in the winery, wanting to throw away this inexplicable thought, but the woman's little thoughts were really uncontrollable. Before she could come back to her senses from her random thoughts, footsteps came from the door again, and a familiar sound:

"Sister Tang?"

Tang Jingwen's whole body stiffened and instinctively stood up straight, feeling a little guilty. Fortunately, he quickly reacted and looked back at the door, showing a smile:
