Fix Smile Order Chapter 33: Coral bracelet
The storefront of Zhu Dacong, a master of wives and children, opened on the other side of the county government office, and together with the Gutang bookstore, it formed the pattern of Gongwei county government office.
The yamen door naturally has a sense of majesty and oppression, and most people would not choose to do business nearby. Now the two storefronts have increased a lot of excitement, bringing a sense of intimacy to the county magistrates who are closely connected with the masses.
Tan Lingyin and Tan Qingchen were tossing between "running" and "not running", making a difficult choice. Tan Qingchen himself is not afraid of anything, he is afraid of his sister's good or bad, but if her sister leaves, he has to keep up.
Tan Lingyin was a little bit lucky, and always felt that Zhu Dacong might not recognize them.
But I can't recognize it today, I can't recognize it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the neighbors say a word or a half, and they should recognize it.
No way, run.
However, always say goodbye to the magistrate first.
Before parting, all kinds of disputes in the past seemed insignificant. Tan Lingyin decided to forgive the magistrate. Moreover, the county government is responsible for food and housing, and the work is not tiring. She is very reluctant to be here.
There is also Tangtang, and I can't bear it. The little guy now has long teeth and long hair. Although he still has a pockmarked face, he cannot resist his handsomeness. It is so confident now that it walks without bowing its head, and is proud of everyone it sees.
Naturally, the most reluctant thing is the gold that has not yet met.
Tan Lingyin took Tangtang and went to Retire Sitang to find the county magistrate. Tangtang is getting fatter and fatter, and now it's a little hard to hold it, but it's getting more and more lazy, and likes to be cat in people's arms.
Although I don't like Tan Lingyin, Tang Tianyuan must admit that the picture of a beautiful girl holding a clean and cute little animal is quite beautiful.
Well, the premise is that the girl doesn't speak.
"Sir, I'm here to bid you farewell." Tan Lingyin said.
Tang Tianyuan was stunned for a moment. He put down the brush in his hand and looked at her blankly, "Why, I can't hold you here anymore?"
Tan Lingyin hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, my... I have something to do at home."
Tang Tianyuan said rudely, "You never mention your family, I think you don't have a family."
"Sir, are you angry?"
Tang Tianyuan sneered, "What do you want to be angry with, this official, you are finally leaving, so that I can't see or be upset, it's too late for me to be happy."
Although the relationship between the two is not good in normal times, it is not very friendly to say such things when they part. Tan Lingyin felt a little down. She lowered her head and stroked Tangtang.
Tang Tianyuan's eyes swept across her hand. Fingers like the tips of green onions, wrists like tender lotus root. Such a wrist, if paired with coral strings, would be perfect.
Tan Lingyin lowered her head and said, "Sir, you can't give me some face after meeting each other." Why say such heartless words.
"Oh, you want me to help you?" Tang Tianyuan asked.
"It's not—"
Tang Tianyuan nodded with a clear expression, "Tell me, what's your entanglement with that Zhu Dacong?"
Tan Lingyin hurriedly denied, "What kind of entanglement, I don't know him."
"Don't want to tell? I'd better ask Zhu Dacong directly." After that, he asked someone to ask Zhu Dacong.
Tan Lingyin was anxious, "Wait a minute, I said. I...that...and him, we are...enemies," she snapped her fingers, "yes, enemies."
Tang Tianyuan looked at her suspiciously, "Are you an enemy? You have never met, how did you form an enemy?"
"In short, we are enemies. If he knows my identity, he will definitely take me back and put me in jail."
"Capture it back? Are you from Jinan?"
"I..." Tan Lingyin found that she couldn't refute, so she lowered her head in frustration and gave Tang Tianyuan a thumbs up, "Sir, high!"
Tang Tianyuan accepted the compliment calmly, "Tell me what's going on."
"Anyway, Zhu Dacong is very powerful in Jinan. I offended him and ran away. It's that simple."
"How did you offend him? This officer wants to hear the details."
“…I don’t want to say it.”
"Okay," Tang Tianyuan nodded and comforted her, "don't worry, this official will make the decision for you."
"It's useless, his father is the prefect."
"My father is still the first assistant."
"..." Tan Lingyin thinks, it's all this time, she hasn't seen Tang Tianyuan, is it interesting to brag about this kind of **** now?
Tang Tianyuan knew he had slipped. He was just unconvinced just now, and he accidentally said what he said in his heart, and now he hurried to save it, "My godfather... I married Tang Tianyuan Yi Jinlan, and his father is naturally my godfather, what's wrong?"
Tan Lingyin thought to herself that she was so thick-skinned that she could still climb relatives like this.
"Anyway, you don't need to worry. If Zhu Dacong really wanted to hunt you down before, you can't stand in front of me now. What he wants to do to you in the future must first ask the official's meaning."
In a word, you are covered by me now.
Tan Lingyin was a little moved. Although this county magistrate is full of bad water and likes to brag, he is quite righteous at the critical moment.
She thought about it for a while, and felt that what the magistrate said was reasonable. Even if Zhu Dacong was powerful, he was in Jinan, and when he arrived in Tongling County, he couldn't use his fists for a while. Even if something happened, it would not be too late for her to run away.
Having made up her mind, Tan Lingyin felt relieved and approached with Tangtang in her arms. Tangtang saw that she was far and near to Tang Tian, stretched out her claws and jumped directly into his arms, lying on his back on his lap, spreading her limbs and relaxing.
Tang Tianyuan gently touched its neck and belly, Tangtang enjoyed it.
Tan Lingyin said sincerely, "Sir, you are so kind to me."
Listening to Tang Tianyuan's ears always made him a little awkward. He looked down at Tangtang and found a reasonable reason for his kindness, "That's natural, I'm your son's father."
"..." Tan Lingyin blushed and walked away.
Tang Tianyuan touched his nose. He is a prudent person, but how can he always speak out of his head today. What does it mean to be a father to her son, doesn't that mean that the two are husband and wife? He really didn't mean it that way.
After this Tan Lingyin went out, she quickly forgot about it. She went to Qingchen and told him her plan. Tan Qingchen naturally depends on her. Tan Lingyin also wanted to give Tan Qingchen a pseudonym. At first, he wanted to call him "Tan Qiqi", which corresponds to his "Miaomiao". Tan Qingchen refused to live or die. some relationships.
Zhu Dacong's shop opened soon. His shop is a jewelry shop, and many people have expected its bleak future by opening such a shop mainly for weak women next to the yamen.
Anyway, the opening was a lively one. The nine hundred and ninety-nine firecrackers frightened Tangtang to wander around the yamen, and even found someone to act like a spoiled child. Neighbors all came to congratulate, and they also gave gifts, including Tan Qingchen and Tan Lingyin. Tang Tianyuan didn't go there in person, but asked Tan Lingyin to bring some thoughts.
Zhu Dacong returned the gifts one by one without mentioning them.
Let's say that the autumn is high and the sun is shining, and the weather is getting dry. Summer in the south is always wet, so melons and pears are not at ease. These days, they have been busy inventorying the things in stock and drying them, and then they can collect them for the winter. The mother was worried that the child traveled a thousand miles. Madam Tang was very thoughtful, not only arranging her son's food and clothing expenses, but also ordering a lot of things that could be given away. It is definitely not easy for my son to be a little sesame official. He always has to make friends, and he must be able to get the things he sends, but he cannot be taken lightly.
Therefore, Tang Tianyuan has a lot of good things on hand.
On this day, he saw the maids take out the jewelry to dry, and he felt fresh, so he came over to see it. Gold hairpins, silver hairpins, and emerald flower hairpins are dazzling.
Sydney thinks it's very strange, when did the young master become interested in the things women use, and he stopped practicing the boy's kung fu?
Tang Tianyuan's eyes fell on an open box, where lay a string of red coral bracelets. The coral beads are round and bright, bright red like fire, and the beads lie on the white silk, like the cold red lotus blooming from the snowdrift.
A snow-white wrist appeared in front of Tang Tianyuan's eyes again. A sword should match a hero. He picked up the box, closed it, and walked away.
Sydney bumped Cantaloupe's arm lightly and asked secretly, "Sister Cantaloupe, who do you think the young master is going to give the string to?"
Do you still need to ask? Cantaloupe sneered inwardly, pretending to be ignorant on the surface. That is, a fool like Sydney can't see the clue.
"Wouldn't he be wearing it himself?" Sydney said to herself, and then the picture of the young master grinning and putting a coral bracelet on her wrist appeared in her mind, and she was too frightened to think about it any longer.
When Tang Tianyuan saw Tan Lingyin again, he was thinking about finding a reason to send things out, but suddenly saw that Tan Lingyin had an extra string of things in his hand, which was also a red coral bracelet.
For some reason, he looked at the bunch of red corals, a little dazzling.
Tan Lingyin saw the magistrate staring at her bracelet, she raised her arm to show him, and smiled brightly, "Does it look good?"
Tang Tianyuan blushed and quickly turned his face away, "It's really ugly."
"No taste," Tan Lingyin said. Others say it looks good, and Qingchen also says it looks good, but this eccentric person says it's ugly. She shook the red bead on her wrist, "Qingchen has identified it for me. This is a real coral, at least worth hundreds of taels of silver."
It turns out that her so-called taste is directly measured by price. Tang Tianyuan was disdainful, but still asked, "Your brother bought it for you?"
"No, Zhu Dacong sent it."
Tang Tianyuan frowned, "Didn't you say you have a grudge? Why are you still swaggering around with the enemy's stuff?"
"As long as he doesn't know who I am, we don't have any grudges. Besides, this is his gift to me in return. I don't wear white or wear it. I also gave him something when he opened."
Tang Tianyuan said faintly, "You gave him a toad of fifty taels of silver." The toad is made of copper, only the surface is plated with a layer of gold.
Tan Lingyin defended, "That's not a toad, that's a toad, it's for making money."
"It's all the same," Tang Tianyuan said, looking at her wrist again, "your brother may not know how to identify corals, so it's better to remove them and let me see for you."
I just want to watch it, why bother looking for such a reason. Tan Lingyin thought to herself that he had helped her a lot recently, and she was not a stingy person, so she generously took off the coral bracelet to open his eyes.
Who knows, he couldn't get enough of it after reading it for a long time, so he had to take it back and read it carefully.
Tan Lingyin was generous again.
However, the result of her generosity was that the next day, the magistrate told her that the coral bracelet was lost.
Lost? ! One hundred taels of silver!
Tan Lingyin spread her hands, "Lost money!"
Tang Tianyuan didn't care, "It's not worth anything, I'll just pay you a bunch more."
Tan Lingyin thought he was procrastinating, but he didn't expect him to get a bunch of them very quickly. This string is much better than that one, and the beads are bigger.
Tan Lingyin's eyes were straight, she swallowed her saliva, but she didn't dare to answer, "Is this worth a lot of money?"
He was a little impatient, "Things are for use, not for selling money. If you don't like it and want money, well, I'll pay you back." Then he wanted to take it back.
"Don't, don't, it's too much trouble to pay back the money." Tan Lingyin hurriedly took over the small velvet box containing the bracelet.
Tang Tianyuan pulled the corner of his mouth indiscernibly.
