Chapter 86 About Your Marriage
After agreeing with Sheng Jiaojiao in this way, Wenxiu went down to do embroidery work, and Sheng Jiaojiao returned to the yard to continue teaching the children in the yard.

She looked at the children in the yard, and there was no child named Lian Xin among them.

Lian Xin did not come to school for a long time.

Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help sighing, after school, she specially recruited some children who were close to Lian Xin to her, and asked about Lian Xin's situation.

Lianxin's family is indeed very poor, her father is just a soldier in the military camp, and Lianxin's mother is notoriously partial in Huangtu Village, her heart is only for Lianxin's younger brother, and all the delicious food in the house is left to the younger brother, Lian Xin didn't get any fishy smell.

It is said that Lian Xin is busy taking care of her younger brother and doing housework all day long. Even at a young age, she has already gone to work with A Niang.

Hearing the chatter of a few children, Sheng Jiaojiao's exquisite brows were slightly tightened. Although she felt sorry for Lian Xin's intelligence, as her grandmother said, there are no girls in Zhishou County who are not like her. How did Lian Xin grow up like that?

Leaving aside, just talking about Niu Ju, she has never even been enlightened, and the only few words she knows are taught by Sheng Jiaojiao.

Niu Ju has also been working in the fields since she was a child.

After seeing off the children, Sheng Jiaojiao went back to the grove behind to look at medicinal herbs.

Two nights ago, Sheng Jiaojiao poured a lot of water into the grove because she wanted to gather enough medicinal materials for Dongxiying. She didn't have time to explain to the Qi family how these medicinal materials grew wildly.

In the past two days, the Qi family's attention has been attracted by the nobleman's marriage with Sheng Jiaojiao, so they seldom come to the forest.

But before going to Jishang, Sheng Jiaojiao secretly ordered Qi Rong to instruct Niu Ju not to go to Tuao, but to gather a large piece of medicinal materials from the east end of the forest before going.

Then he ordered Qi Rong to send the medicinal materials picked by the cow chrysanthemum to the Second North and South Camps to exchange for money.

Niu Ju has always been in charge of Tu'ao, and Sheng Jiaojiao didn't tell her to go to the woods, so she never came. Neither have been to the west end of the woods.

For such a large piece of herbs, Niuju would definitely not be able to pick them all by himself. Before going to collect them, Sheng Jiaojiao said that a lot of herbs grew in the forest, and asked the Qi family to pick the herbs at the west end of the forest.

Without anyone knowing it, Sheng Jiaojiao covered up the crisis of exposing herself as a water ghost.

Looking back today, the grove that originally grew a lot of herbs has been picked by the Qi family and the cow chrysanthemum, and there are not many grass leaves left in the grove.

Niu Ju had already returned to Tu'ao to take care of the herbs, side dishes and sheep, leaving Sheng Jiaojiao alone, walking slowly in the grove.

As the weather gradually cooled down, Sheng Jiaojiao added a blue cotton wide-sleeved smock over the slanted smoke gray sarong. This smock was made by Wenxiu according to the pattern drawn by Sheng Jiaojiao. I used the same color embroidery thread, and embroidered butterflies and flying flowers on it.

Although it is made of coarse cloth, it looks delicate and beautiful.

She walked quietly in the forest, thanks to Chao Sect's hard work, this forest would grow bigger every day, the Qi family only planted trees on the edge of the forest, but rarely entered the forest.

Sheng Jiaojiao walks and walks,

It was discovered that the few trees she had cut down before had grown another tree unknowingly.

It is next to the original stump, and a new trunk is newly divided.

But this tree is not as strong as before, nor does it have as many branches and leaves as before.

Probably because Sheng Jiaojiao didn't water enough.

Sheng Jiaojiao stood in the woods and thought for a while. She bent down and stood in the woods, inspecting the side of the tree stump that had been cut down. The thin trunks that grew out were like branched branches. If she watered a little more, These tiny forked trunks can grow just as well.

It turns out that plants also grab water to drink. She watered the forest not to plant trees, but to promote medicinal herbs.

Looking at the only herbs left in the woods, these herbs were collected by the old lady Qi, Miss Qi and the three ladies of the Qi family, and they must not be planted again in the short term.

It would be strange to plant three more ladies.

Fortunately, there were not only herbs on the ground, but also a thin layer of fine grass. Sheng Jiaojiao squatted down and looked at the grass seeds on the ground, which seemed to be different from the grass seeds in her front yard.

Sheng Jiaojiao's knowledge of farm work is rather superficial, and if she really asks her to identify them, she can probably only identify a few kinds of plants that are common or that existed in the palace in the previous life.

Contradictory to this, she is very precious about those precious flowers, birds, fish and insects.

As for those down-to-earth grasses, she has little experience.

Just as Sheng Jiaojiao bent down to check what kind of grass was growing on the ground, a medium and small dog ran out of the woods wagging its head and tail.

The dog looked as if its hair was going to explode, it looked like a little bear.

It was Ao Quan, which Tan Ji gave to Qi Rong last time.

During this time, Qi Rong slept with this Ao dog in his arms every day, and when he was about to go out, he tied the Ao dog by the medicine field in the yard.

I don't know what happened today, but this Ao dog broke free from the rope that tied it, and ran excitedly into the small woods in the backyard.

Seeing it wagging its tail happily, its hair shiny, its eyes flashing with excitement and rushing towards it, Sheng Jiaojiao hurriedly took a few steps back, and said in a low voice:
"Wait, wait, wait."

She was a little afraid of such a ferocious dog.

Apparently, Ao Quan wasn't that big in the first place, it was brought up to be so big by Qi Rong after it came to Qi's house.

In less than a month, it has already grown to such a big size, if it was any bigger, it might look like a bear.

As soon as Sheng Jiaojiao yelled to wait, the little Ao dog seemed to understand it, and quickly squatted on the ground, sticking out its tongue excitedly at Sheng Jiaojiao, looking obedient.

Like becoming a spirit, it seems to be very human.

Sheng Jiaojiao took a few steps back, looked at the Aogou hesitantly, and then looked around, she was alone in the woods now, Qi Rong went to Nanying and back to deliver the luggage.

What if this Ao dog became fierce and rushed up to bite her?
Four brothers, four brothers, why don't you fasten this ferocious beast firmly.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you."

A voice sounded from behind Sheng Jiaojiao.

She turned her head abruptly, her eyes widened, and she looked at the man standing behind her who didn't know when,
"Tan Ji?"

Tan Ji was wearing a black dress with sleeves and half armor. He took a deep look at Sheng Jiaojiao, stepped forward to block Sheng Jiaojiao, and walked in front of Xiao Aogou.

He bent down, touched the little Ao dog's head, and said in a low voice:

"She's too delicate and a little afraid of you."

"Woo~"

Xiao Ao Quan let out a grievous whimper.

Standing behind Qi Zhang, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Xiao Aoquan's big black eyes, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

"Take your time, don't scare her."

Tan Ji patted the little Ao dog on the head. The little Ao dog rubbed its paws on the sparse grass, prostrated itself on the ground, sticking out its tongue.

Not long after, the little Ao dog seemed to have weighed it up, stood up, wagged its tail, and walked away in three steps.

But it didn't go very far, and squatted in the woods far away, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao with almost "affectionate" eyes.

Pathetic.

Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao's heart was full of guilt, as if he had let down this dog.
Seeing Tan Ji stand up again, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, tall and tall, even though he only wears half a piece of armor, he is still imposing and full of vigor.

She looked at Tan Ji's back and asked:

"Tan Ji, why are you here?"

He was still in the north of the county yesterday, and today's celebration banquet should not be over. Those soldiers who won the battle should take turns to rest and go to the military dormitory to relax.

But Tan Ji obviously didn't go.

Tan Ji in front turned his back to Sheng Jiaojiao, and was a little silent. After a while, he turned around and said:

"Today I came here specially to find you."

He walked in front of Qi's house, and did not enter the door of Qi's house, but circled half a circle, and arrived at the small forest in the backyard of Qi's house.

He guessed that Sheng Jiaojiao would come to the woods in the backyard of Qi's family every day, originally he wanted to wait for Sheng Jiaojiao here.

As soon as they arrived, they found that Sheng Jiaojiao was scared by a dog and stopped moving.

Looking at the pretty girl standing in front of him, she looked confused,

"Ah? Looking for me? But about the military supplies?"

"No, about your marriage."

Tan Ji's expression was a bit serious, and he took two steps towards Sheng Jiaojiao with his hands behind his back, saying in a deep voice,

"I thought about it all night, but I couldn't think of a better way to help you."

What he wants to say is that Yin Ze is actually a good choice. If the abolished prince wants to get married, the Qi family can consider Yin Ze. It is impossible for Sheng Jiaojiao to be a concubine, so try to negotiate terms with the nobleman.

She deserves to be a nobleman's wife.

But obviously, Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't care much about marrying a nobleman, otherwise she wouldn't ruin her reputation by herself, and wouldn't come up with such a bad idea as a false engagement with Tan Ji.

Although Tan Ji was very angry last night, after he calmed down and thought about Sheng Jiaojiao's position, she was probably cornered.

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Tan Ji in a daze, and she suddenly realized that Tan Ji was really trying to help her find a way. Like her, he tossed and turned all night without sleep, but he just got off the battlefield, and there were a few nights before that. I haven't closed my eyes.

She didn't realize it just now, looking at his appearance now, although he cleaned himself up very cleanly, there were bloodshot eyes in his eyes, a faint sense of fatigue in his eyes, and he was a little lazy.

Sheng Jiaojiao found a tree stump and sat down slowly, then turned sideways and waved at Tan Ji,

"Sit down and talk."

After Tan Ji lifted his robe and sat down on another tree stump, Sheng Jiaojiao said:
"Before I didn't think carefully, I never thought that you would refuse, I never thought that even if it was a fake engagement, you would not be willing, I also thought about it all night last night, let's forget about it, it's my own business, There's no need to drag you into the water."

He is not the Tan Ji in his previous life, he will not obey her orders, the Tan Ji in this life, he has his own way to go.

There is no Sheng Jiaojiao on his path.

Realizing this, Sheng Jiaojiao was quite emotional.

Such a good Tan Ji is already from his previous life.

But think about it, it doesn't matter if she is in Tan Ji's life in this life, she always hopes that Tan Ji can be good in this life, as long as he is good, it will be better without her.

Tan Ji's sharp facial features were completely silent, he looked at a few herbal plants far away in the forest, they were Huang Lian, Quan Peng told him last time that Sheng Jiaojiao had taken a lot of herbal seeds from him.

She wanted to try to see if these herbs could be grown, and she also wanted to mobilize the people in the village to plant them together.

So far, Sheng Jiaojiao has succeeded.

And the pasture on the ground. He didn't know where Sheng Jiaojiao got the sweat-blood grass. This is the grass used by the vassal state to feed sweat-blood horses. The reason why sweat-blood horses are rare is because their annual output is extremely low. Also spend money like water.

It is because sweat blood horses only eat sweat blood grass, and sweat blood grass needs special pastures to grow.

In the territory of Daze, no one would plant a piece of sweat-blood pasture just for one or two sweat-blood horses.

Because no one buys sweat grass, raises a horse, and equips it with special forage, which is too impractical.

In the forest, Tan Ji seemed not to have heard Sheng Jiaojiao's words, and said in a deep voice:

"I can't think of a better way to help you, so think about it now, maybe the way you said is the best way so far."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, took a deep breath,
"I really have no intention of getting married in this life, so you can use my marriage contract with you to break the engagement with me at any time after getting rid of the troubles now. For you, I am the best candidate, but if it is someone else, In the end, they won't necessarily let you go."

She is so kind, smart and capable, she can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, can make money and is knowledgeable, such a girl is like a treasure in the world, but anyone who knows her and knows her goodness will not be willing to let go.

With that said, Tan Ji took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Sheng Jiaojiao.

She turned sideways and looked at the rice paper Tan Ji handed over with a puzzled expression.

It's just good Nanjun paper, a piece is worth a hundred taels.

But Sheng Jiaojiao obviously remembered that when he was in Dongying, the paper Tan Ji used to practice calligraphy was the cheapest straw paper in Zhishou County.

He spent a lot of money and must have written something very important on this piece of paper.

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hand to take it, and slowly unfolded it. On it was Tan Ji's handwriting, neatly written, and the traces of the future General Tan's handwriting could already be seen.

This is a document for the dissolution of the engagement, written by Tan Ji stroke by stroke.

At the end, Tan Ji's name has been signed, his handprint has been pressed, and the date is blank.

This means that as long as Sheng Jiaojiao wants to terminate their engagement, as long as she writes her name and date on this document, and puts her fingerprint on it, their engagement will be voided at any time.

"This"

Sheng Jiaojiao's inexplicable eyes turned red, and she turned her head to look at Tan Ji with soreness in her eyes.

After all, he still couldn't bear to leave her alone, and let her randomly find someone to engage in a fake engagement, which would cause endless troubles for her in the future.
