Chapter 195: Handsome and Elegant
"Mom, why are you bringing this up again!" Tang Qiyue hesitated, "I haven't thought about it yet."
From the beginning to the end, she felt that there was something between her and Xie Changjin, which she could not touch but could not avoid.
Lin patted her head and said, "You can't let Zhaobao be a fatherless child forever. If you don't want to get engaged so soon, your mother won't stop you, but you have to let everyone in the village know who Zhaobao's father is."
"Zhaobao is two years old now. He can talk and walk very well. It won't be long before he goes out to play like other children in the village. What if other children laugh at him for not having a father?"
Tang Qiyue's heart sank suddenly. She had never thought about this because she usually spent her free time with her son, or with Tang Lao San and the others, or at worst with Xie Changjin. She wanted her son to go to school to receive enlightenment when he was older, and had never thought of letting Zhaobao play with mud, climb trees, and steal bird eggs like the other children in the village.
But she forgot how old Zhaobao was. His childhood should not be serious, but carefree.
"Mom, I..."
Lin interrupted her, "Mother knows you are usually busy, but sometimes you should think about things other than accidents, my daughter, how old are you?"
"You were wronged because your parents didn't protect you. Now you have finally gotten your reward. I don't have any other expectations. I just hope that you three will be well, and Zhaobao will be well too."
Tang Qiyue's eyes became hot after hearing what Lin said, and she almost cried. She nodded hurriedly, "I know, I know."
Lin's eyes also turned red. "Our family has such a good life now thanks to you. It's because of your parents who are useless that you have to worry about everything, Qiyue."
"Mom! Don't say that, it makes me sad!" Tang Qiyue pouted to express her dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, can you please not say anything?" Lin immediately changed the subject. "Think about what I just said. I'll go to the kitchen to see how Aunt Wu's cooking is going."
After Lin left, Tang Qiyue turned around and met two pairs of eyes, one big and one small. She paused.
Xie Changjin strode over and touched the corners of her eyes with his hand, "Are you crying?"
"No!" Tang Qiyue slapped his hand away, "When did you come here?"
"Look! My son is clamoring for you, so I brought him here." Xie Changjin brought Zhaobao to Tang Qiyue.
Zhao Bao immediately stretched out his short fleshy hands to hook Tang Qiyue's neck, "Mom, Zhao Bao misses you so much."
Tang Qiyue hugged the little girl tightly and glanced at someone, "How much did you hear just now?"
Xie Changjin coughed guiltily, "I didn't hear anything."
"Do you think I will believe it?" Tang Qiyue rolled her eyes at her and bit her lip. "I thought carefully about what my mother said and I think it makes some sense."
Suddenly, Xie Changjin's eyes lit up. Was he going to have a formal status?
Tang Qiyue seemed not to notice the sparkling eyes of the person opposite her, and continued to speak to herself, "But I am indeed a little busy recently, so it seems that the matter of notifying the whole village will have to be left to my parents."
"I'll do it!" Xie Changjin shouted in a low voice, and Zhao Bao was so surprised that he looked at him with his big innocent eyes blinking.
Xie Changjin patted his son's head soothingly, "Continue playing your game."
Zhao Bao was playing with Tang Qiyue's hair, but he didn't grab it randomly because he would be spanked by his mother if he did that. He only dared to play with it gently by twisting it around.
Tang Qiyue suppressed the corner of her lips that was raised, "Leave it to you?"
"Yes!" Xie Changjin nodded, "Leave it to me."
"Okay!"
Xie Changjin seemed to have not expected Tang Qiyue to agree so quickly, and he couldn't suppress a grin.
The scar on his face was already very faint, and when he smiled like that again, Tang Qiyue felt as if his heart was about to jump out, and it reminded him of the first time he met this guy.
He has a handsome face and a graceful demeanor.
The villagers were all confused. Why did the Tang family suddenly want to hold a banquet? Was there some happy event at home? Did the eldest son pass the imperial examination? That's not right. Didn't Tang Qingshu take the exam yet?
What is that? The villagers were full of questions, but they had tasted the Tang family's banquet before, so they didn't miss this one.
The banquet was fully entrusted to Xie Changjin, and he did a good job by not letting Lin and Tang Laosan get involved. However, everyone was curious about how he hired the chef.
The Tang family did not tell anyone that this banquet was for Zhao Bao to recognize his father and Xie Changjin had a legitimate status. But there was one person who was extremely anxious.
Qingfeng huddled against the tree, sweating profusely from anxiety, "Sir, are you planning to marry this country girl? Otherwise, what are you doing running around like this?"
"It's over, it's over. The Marquis' wife is still in the capital! What should I do?"
There was no other way, so Qingfeng disobeyed orders and climbed into the yard in the dead of night, heading straight for Xie Changjin's house.
At that time, Tang Qiuyue was drawing the pattern. She thought that in addition to modern cartoon-patterned handkerchiefs, there were many modern floral patterns that could be used on ready-made clothes, which would look just as good when they were made.
Who would have thought that after she had drawn two or three pictures, she heard a slight noise coming from her and immediately put down her brush and left the room.
"Young Master! You don't really want to get married here, do you? Please think twice!" Qingfeng knelt on one knee and begged as soon as he saw Xie Changjin.
Xie Changjin turned his back to him and asked, "Who let you in?"
"Sir! I know I have committed a serious offense without your permission, but I am also thinking about you! How can you be so careless about your marriage? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the Marquis' wife!"
Tang Qiyue, who was hiding in the distance, heard the last sentence and her eyes flashed.
Xie Changjin turned around and looked away without leaving a trace, "It's not your turn to interfere in my affairs."
"Young Master! I grew up with you. I know you must have been forced, right? Did this family threaten you by saving their lives? You are confused!" Qingfeng looked passionate and successfully made Tang Qiyue furious.
She thought the person who came tonight was a petty thief, but it turned out to be an acquaintance. She even asked Xie Changjin to send steamed crabs to this person last time, but they must have gone into the dog's stomach. Now he is making up stories about her!
How can you say that she is like a she-devil, and her home is like a den of wolves and dragons.
"Just say that again!" Tang Qiyue didn't hide anymore, she strode over and kicked Qingfeng on the back, "Get out of here!"
Qingfeng's eyes were red and he couldn't get up.
Tang Qiyue put her hands on her hips, "Hey! You guessed right, your son is going to marry me in two days, what do you think? What do you dare to do?"
Xie Changjin's eyes lit up when he heard this!
"You...you shrew!" Qingfeng stood up suddenly and pointed at Tang Qiyue and cursed her without any mercy.
"shut up!"
