Chapter 87
The forest is silent, only the sound of wind and sand blowing the treetops.

The fine sand and gravel came with the wind and hit the leaves. Although these trees were under Sheng Jiaojiao's care, they were all thriving and alive.

But after a long time, it still gives people a gray feeling.

In this place in Zhishou County, it is gray everywhere.

Looking at Sheng Jiaojiao's reddish eyes, Tan Ji looked helpless.

He didn't want to make her cry, but the few times he met her, her eyes were always red, and her emotions seemed to be particularly easy to lose control.

So Tan Ji could only change the subject, and said:

"The honorable person in today's episode posted a post with me and Ah Zhang. Presumably, they wanted to win us over on purpose. I shirked that I didn't go because I had something to do in the army. It should not be too late. I will ask my aunt to come to propose marriage tomorrow. Three letters and six gifts. It is indispensable, the process is almost gone, and your troubles are probably almost resolved, so this process may not be completed, we can delay it as long as we can."

Gradually, the intention of winning over Prince Fei and Yin Ze became more targeted.

What they used at the beginning was to cast a wide net, and the military officers in the jumping horse lake were all given gifts by the nobles.

Later until now, after Qi Zhang and Tan Ji gradually revealed their military talents, the abolished prince and Yin Ze felt that they were determined to win.

So since Tan Ji had made up his mind to protect Sheng Jiaojiao through this disaster, he felt that he had to be quick. As long as Sheng Jiaojiao had no engagement for a day, she would make people feel alive for a day.

Weddings and funerals in Zhishou County are actually simple and simple, and many people's families don't pay attention to the three books and six etiquettes.

Many people just find an acquaintance to make a marriage, and when they agree, they will give a dowry gift, and they can find a date on the same day and decide on the marriage.

But Tan Ji and Sheng Jiaojiao needed it.

They need this long and solemn, tedious and complicated process to delay time.

And Tan Ji felt that Sheng Jiaojiao deserved it.

Even if it is fake, she should be treated as precious.

Sheng Jiaojiao held the heavy document of dissolution of the engagement in her hand, and muttered in her mouth,

"Three books and six rituals".

In her previous life, she had never had three books and six ceremonies, because she was a concubine, so a matchmaker came to deliver a few boxes of silver. Not long after, Sheng Jiaojiao was carried into the nobleman's mansion by a bridal sedan chair.

It's like buying a cow and sheep.

She had never been treated so formally and solemnly.

Even in her previous life, Yin Ze gave her the imperial edict hastily given her the title of empress, and she would be empress the next day.

There was no coronation of any kind.

Because at that time, Daze was besieged on all sides, and the national treasury was clinking, and there was no way to hold any grand ceremony.

"Well, even though it's fake, it doesn't make you lose the respect you deserve."

Tan Ji turned his face slightly, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, seeing her silly face, couldn't help but want to wipe the tears off her face.

Yet he refrained.

His throat slid, and there was a tenderness in his voice that he didn't realize,

"Jiao Niang, Tan Ji has made you dusty."

"No, no, no."

Sheng Jiaojiao finally couldn't help choking up her sobs. She tried desperately to hold back the tears, but the tears fell down uncontrollably.

What he doesn't have, it has never been like this, why does he have such an idea, no.

Sheng Jiaojiao shook her head, couldn't help stretching out her hand, held Tan Ji's hand and cried,
"You are very good, don't underestimate yourself, Tan Ji, in my mind, you are the best, the most powerful, always have been, even stronger than my big brother, you are the best in the whole Daze Erlang of."

It was originally, why would he feel that having a marriage contract with her is to make her dusty?

How can it be?

Such a powerful general of martial arts in the future, as a commoner girl, if she can have a marriage contract with him, her worth will skyrocket in the future.

Tan Ji, why are you so stupid?
"Worse than your big brother?"

Tan Ji looked at Sheng Jiaojiao carefully, and couldn't help laughing after a while, he didn't push away Sheng Jiaojiao's hand, and said in a low voice:
"Then I am really powerful in your mind."

He still remembered that day by the water, Sheng Jiaojiao said with high spirits that her big brother was the most powerful, not even Tan Ji.

Now, Tan Ji is already stronger than her big brother.

After a long while, he felt that the words were too frivolous and lost respect, so he pursed his lips again, moved his fingertips slightly, turned his face away, and stopped looking at her, curled his fingertips tightly under her soft palm,

"Don't cry, we still have a lot of things to do in the future, if you cry like this every time"

He didn't know how to treat her well.

Tan Ji wanted to coax her, but after all, men and women were different, and seemed too intimate and abrupt, so he could only use such an awkward and unspeakable posture, turned his face, and looked down at a sweaty weed in the distance , and said:

"Jiaoniang, you have to be strong. In the future, if you want to go on as you want, you have to be strong. Tan Ji will help you, so don't panic."

Sheng Jiaojiao's eyelashes were covered with tiny teardrops, she looked at Tan Ji, her teary eyes were dim, as if she had returned to the military camp in her previous life, she was so sick that Tan Ji brought the set of four treasures of the study that Qi Ming gave her, and she also said Words like this.

From then on, she and him were an alliance on the same boat, indestructible, and no one could divide them.

In this life, and until now, Sheng Jiaojiao suddenly found some shadows of Tan Ji in her previous life. She looked at the profile of Tan Ji in front of her. Clear the emotions in the eyes.

But you don't have to see clearly, Sheng Jiaojiao's heart has already softened to the point of failure.

She thought that Tan Ji would not understand that when he said such words, he was telling Sheng Jiaojiao that from now on, his life would be inseparable from her.

In his previous life, he used his whole life to fulfill his original promise. He said that he would walk with her. In this life, he said that he would help her so that she would not have to panic.

She really didn't panic anymore, since she had Tan Ji's help, what would she fear in the future?

Sheng Jiaojiao's heart was settled, but she withdrew her hand in embarrassment, turned sideways, raised her sleeves and gently wiped away the tears on her face.

I heard Tan Ji say again:

"Then I'll go back first. This afternoon, I will ask my aunt to propose marriage."

Sheng Jiaojiao responded softly, and seeing Tan Ji stand up, she also stood up.

In the thin grove, Tan Ji bent down, hugged his hands round to salute,

"Don't worry Jiao Niang, I will leave everything to Tan Ji."

Sheng Jiaojiao also folded her fingers together, put them on her waist, squatted slightly, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, gentle and demure,
"Thank you, then you have done enough three letters and six rituals, so naturally I can't shame you, thank you Ji Lang."

Somewhat awkward, the sound of "Ji Lang" made both Sheng Jiaojiao and Tan Ji blush.

The breeze in the forest is blowing, autumn has come, a few fallen leaves are falling in the cool air, and the hearts of the two people with reddish cheeks are beating lightly.

Even if it was acting, Tan Ji had to give Sheng Jiaojiao a face, and he refused to spare any rules for her. Sheng Jiaojiao had to follow the custom and change her name to Tan Ji.

If you don't call "Jalang", what are you calling?
If others hear her calling "Tan Ji Tan Ji" all day long, they will lose obedience to Tan Ji, and make others think that Tan Ji's "husband" is weak.

There is no need for the world to think that his imposing son Lang has a fiancée who doesn't know how to behave and is bluffing.

Anyway, it's fake, Sheng Jiaojiao secretly warned herself, stealing a look at Tan Ji.

His ears were red, his eyes were downcast, he didn't look at her, and silently put down his hands clasped in salute, as if he didn't notice that Sheng Jiaojiao had changed his address.

There was a moment of silence between the two, Sheng Jiaojiao sent Tan Ji out of the forest, saw his tall and straight back walking all the way, she stretched out her hands and patted her hot cheeks.

Fake, fake, fake, since it's fake, why is she blushing?

She didn't know how long she had stood by the edge of the forest before Sheng Jiaojiao turned around and saw Ao Quan crawling on the thin grass at a glance.

Seeing her look over, Xiao Ao Quan's black eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up quickly, stuck out his tongue at Sheng Jiaojiao, and gasped in favor.

Sheng Jiaojiao was still a little afraid of it, looked at it hesitantly, and walked into the back yard.

The little Ao dog followed her from a distance.

When she walked to the bowl it usually drank from, Sheng Jiaojiao bent down and touched the clay bowl with her fingertips.

The worn-out earthenware bowl immediately filled with water.

Sheng Jiaojiao looked back at the little Ao dog, and saw the little Ao dog raised its head happily and roared a few times towards the sky.

From the looks of it, it really likes to drink water.

Sheng Jiaojiao had heard Qi Rong say more than once that this Ao dog had no appetite to feed it, whether it was rice, bacon, or fresh prey, it didn't like it very much.

He just likes to drink water, and sometimes half a tank of water can support him for a meal.

There was nothing he could do about it being so neat, and he even took it to the water pool specially, so that he could drink his fill there.

As a result, Xiao Ao Dog seemed not at all interested in the water in other places except for the water in the tank.

This made Sheng Jiaojiao doubt whether this guy can taste the good or bad of water.

After all, the water in the tank was put by Sheng Jiaojiao.

She couldn't understand more than Sheng Jiaojiao's water had any effect.

When Sheng Jiaojiao entered the kitchen with her skirt in hand, she looked back at the Ao dog. It was already wagging its tail and happily ran to the pottery bowl to drink water.

So Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the little bear-like Ao Quan, couldn't help but smiled, and turned her head into the stove.

In the front yard, Qi Zhang has already returned. He was looking for Sheng Jiaojiao everywhere. Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao in the kitchen, he hurried in and said nervously:

"Jiao Jiaoer, the noble mansion posted a post for me and Ah Ji at the same time, and the person who posted the post specially greeted you."

It's not surprising to post a post. Tan Ji and Qi Zhang defeated Junbei's first frontal provocation, and it was extremely unusual for the nobles on the set to post posts to win them over.

What is unusual is that the person who came to write a message to Qi Zhang mentioned Sheng Jiaojiao to Qi Zhang several times, and also said that Qi Zhang is mighty and talented, his younger sister Sheng Jiaojiao is beautiful, and both brothers and sisters are the most beautiful in the world.
Sheng Jiaojiao listened, walked out of the kitchen with Qi Zhang, stood in the tree-lined yard, frowned and said:

"This is laying the groundwork for you."

It means that the nobleman has noticed Sheng Jiaojiao, if Qi Zhang wants to climb high, then he should take the initiative to speak up and offer Sheng Jiaojiao.

People who have always clinged to the powerful understand it.

Qi Zhang sneered,
"Of course I know what they mean, but my sister is so vaguely dedicated to the noble, what is the basis for it? I am a man of nine feet, and I can never do such a thing as offering a woman to cling to the powerful."

This is also an insult to people like Qi Zhang.

He sent away the dog servant who came to post the post with an ugly expression, and he threw the post to Tan Xiaojian, and asked Tan Xiaojian to go to the nobleman's mansion to drink for him.

Tan Xiaojian didn't want to go either, so he casually gave the post to a team leader. The team leader was a rough guy. He heard that there were delicious food in the noble man's mansion, so he led dozens of soldiers and happily went with the post. on set.

Now I don't know what the charter is.

Tan Ji also talked about this with Sheng Jiaojiao just now, but Tan Ji directly refused and did not go, Qi Zhang was more tactful than Tan Ji, and let his subordinates go for him.

In comparison, Sheng Jiaojiao appreciates Qi Zhang's handling methods, but Tan Ji is also right, he is a pragmatic person who refuses to waste time on hypocritical entertainment.

And Sheng Jiaojiao stood at the top of the power in her previous life, she did not know how many criticisms she had for Tan Ji, and she also deeply understood the truth of rigidity, many attacks on Tan Ji did not come from the enemy's country, but from Daze's interior.

And most of these criticisms were unwarranted, and they were spread more or less by those people who Tan Ji disdained to socialize.

"What should I do now? I'll go find Ah Ji, and I'll tie him up for you."

Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao was silent, Qi Zhang was anxious to leave for Huangguo Village.

He didn't really believe in Sheng Jiaojiao's plan at first, but now he can't help but not believe it.

Even the dog servant who came to post the post understands the nobleman's intentions, which shows that his heart is clear.

Sheng Jiaojiao shouted to stop Qi Zhang,

"Brother, Tan Ji, Ji Lang agreed."

The sound of "Ji Lang" stopped Qi Zhang violently. Just as he stepped over the threshold, his body couldn't hold back, and he fell like a dog eating shit.

He said "Oops", put his hands on the ground with a few grasses, and looked back at Sheng Jiaojiao.

A look of hell on his face.

Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help being overjoyed, she walked over, helped Qi Zhang up, and took out the document of dissolution of engagement that Tan Ji gave her,
"Here, he came here just now and said that I can break off the engagement with him at any time, and also said that Mrs. Tan will come and kiss me in the afternoon."

"God!"

Qi Zhang took the document, read it carefully, folded it solemnly, and returned it to Sheng Jiaojiao, turned around and walked out of the yard,

"I still have to find him, he's such a brother, I have to buy him a drink!"

This time I really have to not get drunk and never go home.

Tan Ji really did his sister a big favor.

Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help laughing, and let Qi Zhang go. She went back to the house, found out the black cloth from before, went to Miss Qi's room, and said with a smile:

"Aniang, Aniang, teach me how to make shoes."
