Finally, a few old men laughed and made some jokes.
Tang Jian naturally knew that Kong Yingda would not be so stingy, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Old Kong, why don't you go quickly and ask someone to prepare some food and wine? I will borrow Tang Xiaolang's wine to have a few drinks today~"
After hearing this, Kong Yingda was about to make a decision when he suddenly thought of something. He paused and said, "Old Tang, let's just leave it for today. I'm ill today and it's inconvenient."
"You old guy...you~"
Tang Jian originally thought that Kong Yingda was still joking. When he was halfway through his words, he saw the look from his colleague and understood immediately. He quickly changed his attitude and waved his hand: "Ahem~ That's right, Lao Kong is ill today. , it is not appropriate to drink, another day, another day..."
The queen and the two princesses are still in Qinghe Garden. What's the point of them going out to drink?
If you don't follow etiquette and don't say anything, it won't be a good thing if something goes wrong.
It’s better to serve this great god away first...
Kong Yingda quickly changed the topic and said to Tang Sufan: "Tang Xiaolang, do you recognize these people?"
Tang Sufan looked at the four people who looked like ordinary old men, and replied: "Mr. Kong, I just returned to Chang'an not long ago, so please excuse me. I can't recognize these elders even if I'm blind."
Kong Yingda pointed to Tang Jian and introduced: "This is Tang Jian, the minister of Zhongshu at that time."
Tang Sufan was shocked. He didn't expect that the old man who was smiling and thinking about drinking was actually Tang Jian, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!
He was one of the heroes who would conquer the Turks in the future. He was later promoted to the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for his meritorious service. He was a proper third-rank official.
However, Tang Jian's final fate was that he was found to be indifferent to political affairs, convicted and demoted...
Look at this old man's style~ No wonder he ended up like this...
But that was many years later, and now these are thick thighs~
Tang Sufan clasped his hands and saluted: "Young man, I have met Mr. Tang."
Tang Jian waved his hand: "No need to be polite. Just call me Mr. Tang."
Kong Yingda turned around and introduced the next person: "This is Lu Xingwen, the political official of the current dynasty."
Tang Sufan raised his eyebrows again. Unexpectedly, this old man was actually a fourth-rank official...
"This is Secretary and Young Prisoner He Qucheng."
Good guy, from the fourth rank official~
"Young man, I've met Dr. Lu, Mr. He Shaojian~"
The two old men also greeted each other with a smile.
Kong Yingda finally introduced the oldest Wang Ji: "Although this man has no official position, he is a great scholar in Chang'an City, Mr. Wang Ji from the Wang family in Taiyuan."
After all, according to the rules of the officialdom, even if Wang Ji is the highest generation, even one generation higher than Kong Yingda, he still has to be judged based on his official position.
Tang Sufan also clasped his hands and bowed: "I have seen Mr. Wang..."
Oh, I didn’t expect to meet my former boss~
Judging from his age, he is probably a very senior person in the entire Wang family.
I didn’t expect that today I would poke holes in the nest of high-ranking officials, meet so many important people, and make a lot of money~
Wang Ji said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Tang Xiaolang is really a young talent."
"Where are you? If you, the old gentlemen, don't mind calling me Su Fan, that's fine."
Now, why not hurry up and get involved in a relationship? After all, if something happens in Chang'an in the future, we will still be able to talk~
"Hahaha, very good~ The old man and the others have been very supportive..."
At this time, Kong Lingyue came over and bowed to several elders.
He glanced at Tang Sufan who was standing aside and quickly looked away.
At this time, Tang Jian joked again: "Hey, Lao Kong, Su Fan is such a talented person and has extraordinary literary talent. He also knows your little girl Lingyue. Let me see, why don't you hurry up and get a grandson-in-law?"
At this time, Kong Lingyue's face turned red, and she didn't dare to look at Tang Sufan anymore...
When Kong Yingda heard this, although he was a little moved, he still said: "You old man is always dishonest. What are you talking about about young people?"
Tang Sufan also quickly persuaded: "Mr. Tang is joking. After Saint Lingyue, how can I, a barefoot boy, be worthy of him?"
Although it was normal in ancient times to get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen, he did not want to get married young~
Although Kong Lingyue on the side was relieved that the elders skipped this topic, she was also a little bit indescribably disappointed.
Tang Jian smiled and stopped talking. He naturally knew that the reason why his old friend did not marry his granddaughter until she was sixteen was because he wanted his granddaughter to find a true love.
Although Tang Sufan had extraordinary literary talent, he was only a businessman and had no interest in officialdom. Besides, he was good-looking but could not be used as food. It was normal for Lao Kong to hesitate.
He Qucheng smiled and interjected: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid Lao Kong is reluctant to let his precious granddaughter get married, so let's not worry about it~"
Kong Yingda changed the subject and said with a smile: "Su Fan, you, a wine-drinking old man, accepted it, but I am ill today. How about I invite you to my house later to talk?"
Tang Sufan didn't make any polite excuses at all, and simply said with a smile: "Then the relationship is good, then I will be shameless enough to eat~"
Have fun~
The old men were very happy when they heard this. This guy is really interesting~
Afterwards, a few people agreed to have a talk at Kong Yingda's house the day after tomorrow.
After the agreement was made, Tang Jian said with a smile: "That's fine. Let them young people go and have fun. We old men have other things to do..."
So Tang Sufan said goodbye to several old men, and they left together. However, Tang Jian patted Tang Sufan on the shoulder before leaving, blinked and reminded in a low voice: "Boss Tang, Lao Kong... My granddaughter is a good girl, so hold on tight..."
Then he gave Shi Shi and left~
This made Tang Sufan dumbfounded. How does this old naughty boy look like the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion?
As soon as the few people left, Tang Sufan and Kong Lingyue who stayed behind were speechless for a while.
It seems that the topic just now has some charm...
But Kong Lingyue was the first to say with a slightly blushing face: "Master Tang, why don't we go for a walk~"
When a beautiful woman meets up with someone, Tang Sufan naturally accepts all comers.
"Okay, let's go over there~"
Then the two of them thought about going in another direction.
The beauty is like jade and the young man is handsome. From a distance, they look like a golden boy and a beautiful girl...
In the distance, Li Lirou took a look, smiled bitterly, and left...
On the other side, Empress Changsun was looking at Li Lizhi running and playing beside her with a smile on her face.
Then he looked around suspiciously: "Slow down, Lizi, haven't you seen your sister yet?"
"No, mother, my sister clearly said she wanted to play with me, but she hasn't been seen for most of the day~"
Then Empress Changsun turned sideways to the palace maid Hongying behind her and said, "Hongying, can you let others look at Rou'er?"
"Go back to Madam, the young lady just said she was feeling ill and went to find a private room to rest..."
Empress Changsun nodded and was not surprised that Li Lirou was ill. After all, girls always have a few days every month~
Changsun Wugou said to Li Lizhi gently: "Li Zhi, let's play here for a while and then go back, okay?"
Just when Li Lizhi was pouting and preparing to protest, Tang Sufan and Kong Lingyue came over...
