Fix Smile Order Chapter 68:
Tan Lingyin didn't dare to tell Ji Zhao about the farce. She was afraid that the empress would take over the Tan family in a fit of anger when she saw her younger brother being bullied. Even if the queen is soft-hearted, doesn't she have a husband who is particularly afraid of his wife...
But even if Tan Lingyin and Qingchen don't talk about it, this kind of thing can't escape Ji Heng's ears.
Ji Heng was very angry. After finally finding my brother-in-law, seeing Ah Zhao so happy, Ji Heng could not wait to offer Qing Chen up, but now someone is angry with him. From this incident alone, it can be inferred what kind of treatment Qingchen received in the Tan family before, no wonder she ran out with Tan Lingyin later.
If others were like this, Ji Heng would definitely teach him a lesson, but after all, the Tan family was kind to Qing Chen, and that was Tan Lingyin's biological father. Ji Heng decided not to do it for now. He asked Tang Tianyuan to invite Tan Nengwen and his wife to Tuishitang, and told them that he brought his wife to find his brother-in-law, and that Qingchen was Ah Zhao's long-lost brother.
This kind of coincidence is too bizarre, Tan Nengwen and his wife did not believe it at first, until Ji Heng auctioned 5,000 taels of silver notes to repay Tan Nengwen's kindness to Qingchen.
Tan Nengwen's eyes are straight, he never expected to meet such a noble person in Qingchen. This Ji Gongzi shot so generously, he must have a lot of background. Tan Nengwen faintly felt that his decision was a bit hasty, for fear of offending people who shouldn't be offended.
Mrs. Tan regrets it. Mrs. Tan had her own plans. Although Tan Lingyin was going to marry Gao, this girl always eats inside and out, turns her elbows out, doesn't even care about her own father, and doesn't dare to expect how good she will be to Xiaobao in the future. Moreover, in a family like Shoufu, a young daughter-in-law can't be the master. Therefore, Mrs. Tan is still in the wait-and-see stage, and is not rushing to please Tan Lingyin. The two have been secretly competing for years, and she couldn't hold that face down for a while.
Qingchen is different. The Tan family has always been kind to Qingchen, and it is not too much to repay. Mrs. Tan used to worry that Qingchen stole Xiaobao's furniture, but now she found out that this silent gourd turned out to be a big piece of fat. It turned out that they missed such a great opportunity to repay the favor in vain. Ji Gongzi claimed to be doing business in the capital. He was so unrestrained as soon as he shot, maybe he was a royal businessman...
The more I think about it, the more I regret it. Mrs. Tan went back to discuss with Tan Nengwen, should she recognize Qingchen?
Tan Nengwen re-acquainted with this prodigal woman today, he sneered, "I'm going to you, Qingchen is a soft-hearted child, you kneel down and kowtow to him, you will be able to coax him back."
"Since you don't recognize him, why don't you take the five thousand taels of silver?"
"Take it, take your uncle! Get out!"
***
A heavy snow fell in the evening, and the snow was still fluttering in the morning. The plum trees in the courtyard bloomed overnight. Early in the morning, Tan Lingyin opened the door, a faint aroma floated on her nose, and she felt relaxed and happy.
Ruyi ran wild in the courtyard with Tangtang, stepping on a string of footprints. Ji Zhao gave him a snowball and let him throw it to whoever he liked. Ruyi decisively threw the snowball into Ji Zhao's arms. Ji Zhao had a snowball fight with Ruyi, then Tan Lingyin also joined the battlefield, and then Zheng Shaofeng joined in the fun, then Tang Tianyuan, Ji Heng...
At first everyone was able to separate camps, but then it became a mess, and there was a melee, and no one was able to retreat. Enough to play, Tan Lingyin and Ji Zhao went to Qingchen together. Just after leaving the yamen, I saw two people passing by carrying a dark iron shelf.
Ji Zhao was a little curious, "What is this for?"
Tan Lingyin explained, "I know what this is, it's for barbecue."
Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, "How about we eat barbecue today?"
Tan Lingyin's greedy worm was also hanged up. The two approached passers-by to chat with passersby, and finally put a piece of silver in and moved the shelf back.
Passers-by hold the silver exchanged for scrap iron and are very moved. The world is always full of surprises.
Ji Zhao and Tan Lingyin are embroidered pillows. They are not very useful. It is very laborious to move an iron shelf. Fortunately, two yamen help them move into the inner house.
Tan Lingyin suddenly remembered that there was a man from the Western Regions in Fenghuang Shanzhai, who made barbecue very deliciously. It happened that they didn't need to go out to work when it was snowing today, so Tan Lingyin asked someone to invite the Western Region cook over.
The cook doesn't just cook roast whole lamb. This time, he asked people to cut the mutton in the kitchen into small pieces, marinate it with his own secret sauce, skewer it with skewers, and grill it on charcoal. In addition to meat, he can bake other things, to be precise, he dares to bake anything that can be eaten. This is a unique skill that was practiced when food was in short supply in the early days of Fenghuang Mountain's falling grass.
Tan Lingyin went out to find Qingchen again, and called Qingchen over to eat barbecue together.
The craftsmanship of the cooks in the Western Regions is really good. He roasts the meat so well that the yard is full of aroma, and even people passing by outside can smell it.
Tan Lingyin was very happy to eat, she found that Tang Tianyuan always sprinkled chili powder on the barbecue, she also tried to sprinkle a little, and it tasted quite good. Tang Tianyuan saw that she also liked it, so he found his position - to spread peppers for Tan Lingyin.
Well, sprinkle it sparingly, Yinyin can't eat too spicy. Uh, I accidentally spilled too much...
Tan Lingyin took a bite, frowned, and returned the skewer to Tang Tianyuan.
Tang Tianyuan didn't dislike it either, so he took it and ate it himself.
Zheng Shaofeng didn't want to see them like this. He turned his head and wanted to talk to Ji Heng and his wife. Then he found that Ji Zhao was feeding Ruyi, and Ji Heng was delivering warm wine to Ji Zhao. . The family of three fell in love with each other, which is even more dazzling.
Zheng Shaofeng had to shout at Tangtang, "Tangtang, come here."
Tangtang can't pass, its current male **** is the cook. It was standing beside the cook, watching eagerly as he roasted the meat, waiting to be fed. Sometimes when the cook forgets Tangtang, Tangtang will stretch out his front paws and pat his calf to remind him.
Zheng Shaofeng finally turned his attention to Tan Qingchen, who had been silent, and instantly felt a sense of pity for each other.
But Qingchen doesn't share the same illness with him. Qingchen has two elder sisters who are in pain. Tan Lingyin and Ji Zhao have been joking with Qingchen and handing him food.
Ji Zhao enjoyed her meal so much that she kept asking the cook if she would like to go to the capital for development. Her eyes were so hot that the cook was a little frightened. She also rolled up her sleeves and grilled a few skewers of meat, some cooked, some raw, and charred, all of which entered Ji Heng's stomach. After eating, Ji Heng felt a little bad.
Ji Heng is a person, so naturally it is impossible to patronize food and drink. After the show, he pulled Ji Zhao into the room and asked worriedly, "Don't you think Ah Chen's attitude towards Tan Lingyin is not like a brother's attitude towards her sister?"
"Why do you say that?" Ji Zhao was a little puzzled. "They are indeed as good as brothers and sisters. Sister Lingyin is very kind to Achen."
"This is the problem. Tan Lingyin has always been kind to Ah Chen. After all these years, how could Ah Chen have no idea? They are not really siblings."
Ji Zhao was surprised, "You mean Achen likes ringtones?"
Ji Heng nodded.
"That's unlikely, right? I didn't see it."
Ji Heng couldn't help rubbing her face, "It's weird if you can see it, stupid."
Ji Zhao covered his face to hide from him, "Then I'll go back and ask Ah Chen."
Ji Heng sighed, "What can I do if I ask?"
Ji Zhao was taken aback. Yes, what can I do if I ask, Tan Lingyin and Tang Tianyuan are already a couple, even if Achen really likes Lingyin, he can't force a bad marriage, which will only make the three of them unhappy. She wanted to give him everything he wanted, but it was impossible to force it.
Ji Zhao felt sorry for Qingchen, but he couldn't do anything.
The next day, Tang Tianyuan officially reported the progress of the golden case to Ji Heng. The main messengers of the case of stealing gold are the former county magistrate Sanjie, as well as Sun Yuanwai and Qi Yuanwai. Zong Yinglin, the prefect of Chizhou, accepted bribes from San Jie, Sun Yuanwai and others to help them settle things. But Zong Yinglin quickly regarded himself as the boss. He felt that he was taking such a big risk and should take a lot of money from it. Sanjay refused and hid most of the gold behind the backs of other participants. This move brought him the disaster of silence, and then Zong Yinglin wanted to find the gold.
The core of this activity now shifts to Tang Tianyuan.
Ji Heng expressed his appreciation for Tang Tianyuan's heroic entry into the enemy's interior. In fact, Tang Tianyuan can help him find his brother-in-law, which is already a great achievement, so Ji Heng does not urge Tang Tianyuan to do business now.
Ji Heng decided to reward Tang Tianyuan well and asked him what he wanted.
Tang Tianyuan replied, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen would like to ask you to help protect a matchmaker."
Tang Tianyuan may not care about Tan Lingyin's background, but his parents can't care. After all, the gap between the Tan family and the Tang family is too great. Tang Tianyuan was worried that his marriage with Tan Lingyin would be obstructed by the family, so he wanted to borrow some power from the emperor first. With the emperor as the matchmaker, the resistance should be much less.
Ji Heng suddenly thought of Tan Qingchen. Although he can't help Qingchen rob a woman, he can't do a disservice either. Now the marriage between the two is undecided, what will happen in the future, maybe Qingchen will still have a chance. For the sake of my brother-in-law, Ji Heng decided not to intervene in this matter, and said, "I can't do anything about this for the time being, you can talk about other things."
Tang Tianyuan was a little disappointed, thought about it, and then said, "I still have a wish to go."
The author has something to say: Finger marriage is basically impossible. Even the emperor is not qualified to decide who other people's sons should marry and who other people's daughters can marry.
