In addition to beauty, she also has a mold

Chapter 142

Because of her voice, everyone turned to look at her. Tan Jingzhi's face was livid, and he moved his lips to say something, but he turned his head away in embarrassment.

Xu Lin'er was so thin-skinned that she couldn't stand the looks of so many people, so she turned around and ran out.

"Lin'er!"

Tan Jingzhi chased her out and stopped her at the door: "Lin'er, don't leave. I said the wrong thing in a moment of unscrupulousness. Is it okay that I was wrong?"

Xu Lin'er bit her lips and wanted to cry: "Are you still the Tan Jingzhi I knew?"

Tan Jingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Of course I am."

"No, you are not."

Xu Lin'er closed her eyes heartbrokenly, thinking about what he was like before: "The Jingzhi I know has clean and pure eyes. He has never been blinded by fame and fortune. He is even a little noble, but he has always been a man with righteousness in his heart." People, instead of blindly comparing and calculating gains and losses, Tan Jingzhi, you have changed and I don’t recognize you at all."

"Lin'er, you misunderstood. I have never changed. Open your eyes and look at me. I have not changed. I am still the Tan Jingzhi you know."

No matter how much he argued, there was only disappointment in Xu Lin'er's eyes. She would rather close her eyes than look at him again. The proud Tan Jingzhi who would rather starve to death than accept her "charity" has disappeared.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Tan Jingzhi was extremely anxious.

"Lin'er."

"Crack, snap, snap."

Tan Jingzhi turned his head, his face changed instantly, and the hand holding Xu Lin'er's shoulder was put down in a panic. There was no stupid behavior of 300 taels of silver here, so Tan Feng was naturally too lazy to take a look.

Tan Jingzhi called out respectfully: "Second brother."

While he was talking, he quietly blocked Xu Lin'er behind him. Xu Lin'er opened her eyes, vaguely caught a glimpse of dark green, and Shi Shiran stepped forward.

Seeing his pretentious appearance, Tan Feng said quietly: "Who did you think it was? It turned out to be my future brother-in-law. He really made me watch a good show. I don't know that my silly sister knows that her future husband is behind the scenes. What will she think if she meets other women privately?"

Before Tan Jingzhi could quibble, he added, "Oh, how could I forget that the marriage contract between our two families was forced by our Qin family to agree to it, and you didn't want to do it at all."

"no!"

Tan Jingzhi gritted his teeth and bowed his head: "The Qin family didn't force me, I did it voluntarily."

Hearing this, Tan Feng twitched the corner of his mouth and then looked at Xu Lin'er. Xu Lin'er went from a look of astonishment to a self-deprecating smile. This scene was comparable to a performance on the stage.

This conversation made Xu Lin'er fully realize what kind of person Tan Jingzhi was. She was so desperate that she left after saying "goodbye". Tan Jingzhi didn't dare to chase her, and watched the meat in her mouth fly away.

Qin Feng scoffed coldly: "Reluctance?"

"of course not."

Tan Jingzhi had a bitter look on his face, but he did not dare to offend his second brother Tan Yingying easily. He was very popular in the capital and had good friends with many young masters from aristocratic families. If he offended him, he would probably not be able to eat and walk away.

What's more, he didn't expect that he had been so covert, yet he was discovered.

Tan Feng smiled and walked away. Tan Jing followed him with interest, thinking about how to get past him. Tan Feng knew what he was thinking, but he was too lazy to go around with him.

"Miss Xu Er has a gentle temperament. She is more obedient than Yingying and is easier to handle. However, you thought you were able to handle things with ease, but you still made a mistake."

Tan Jingzhi paused for a moment, his back dripping with sweat.

However, the person who spoke was calm and breezy, as if he was talking about an extremely common household matter: "If I hadn't drunk too much, you just said that Song Qingyuan is a second-class biography, and you are As a Jinshi, the imperial court should have paid more attention to you and entrusted you with important responsibilities, right?"

After a moment of silence, Tan Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes."

Tan Feng suddenly changed the subject and asked him: "Why do you think my father chose you?"

Tan Jingzhi blurted out: "Because I am Tanhua Lang."

"Yes."

Qin Feng stopped, looked at him calmly, and said bluntly: "It's because you are Tan Hua Lang."

Tan Jingzhi didn't know about this. It was precisely because he was the prettiest that Tan Yingying fell in love with him. Tan Zhan chose him as his son-in-law purely for the sake of his daughter.

Tan Yingying likes him and treats him well, but the rest of the Tan family are not, especially Tan Feng, who has spread rumors about his private affairs outside, but he has no power and power, so he can't do anything to Tan Feng.

The mute eats Coptis chinensis, and can't tell the pain.

Tan Feng really didn't care about his life or death. Even in front of him, he still wouldn't give him any mercy.

"My good brother-in-law, just because of an imperial examination, you are sure that Song Qingyuan is not as good as you. All the money he has now is because he has a father who offers wine at the Imperial College. Is this really true?"

He asked unhurriedly, but Tan Jingzhi's heart trembled.

"Although you are not from the capital, you grew up in the capital. You should know that Song Qing was born with both excellent essays and academics. He dared to face the emperor alone at the age of five, and talked to all kinds of scholars at the age of seven. Such a character , how could it be inferior to you?"

After two questions, Tan Jingzhi was left speechless. After thinking for a long time, he said unwillingly: "So what, everyone in the world knows that I am a first-class Jinshi Tanhualang, but my future is not as good as a second-class one."

Tan Feng shook his head, he was really a helpless man.

"I just made it so clear, don't you understand what's going on?"

Tan Jingzhi really didn't know: "Please ask the second brother to point out one or two."

"I just said that Song Qingyuan is good at both sketches and can't be any worse than you. However, you are Tanhualang, and he is only the second-level Chuanlu."

Tan Feng's face was serious, serious and serious: "As long as he is willing, let alone Tanhualang, he can do it in the second place, and he can also do it in the top spot. Guess why he deliberately hides his clumsiness and only gets a second place in the exam."

This was not a question, but a naked telling of the truth.

"The more eye-catching something is, the greater the risk. Nowadays, several princes in the palace are fighting overtly and covertly to win over people's hearts. Talents like Song Qingyuan are wanted by everyone. Mr. Song is a neutral faction, so naturally he does not want his son to participate in party struggles."

Only then did Tan Jingzhi suddenly understand, but he still didn't understand: "If you don't want to attract too much attention, why do you have to arrange a high position for him?"

"Hehe. Do you think that a Guozijian offering wine can cover the sky with one hand, and you can make anyone an official if you want? Even Xu Liner's sister Xu Yinger's father-in-law Minister of the Ministry of Officials can't, unless His Majesty personally nods."

"This"

Tan Jingzhi seemed to understand something, but he felt vaguely that he shouldn't be treated like this.

Qin Feng looked up at the moon in the sky, and sighed: "Since we have already talked about this, I might as well talk to you more, just as you think, I don't like your behavior, but I will not stop you Of course, I can't stop your marriage with Yingying, since we are destined to be a family, my second brother has something to tell you."

Losing Xu Lin'er and Tan Yingying, Tan Jingzhi was naturally happy: "Second brother, please tell me."

Tan Feng suddenly warned sternly: "Just this once, don't let me see you meeting Xu Lin'er again, otherwise, I will ruin your reputation and you will never be able to turn around for the rest of your life."

Suddenly his heart palpitated, Tan Jingzhi lowered his eyebrows and said, "I understand."

Qin Feng laughed at himself: "My father has been an official for many years, and he has his own set of criteria for judging people. Naturally, he doesn't like me, so he allows me to eat, drink, have fun, and be free."

When the topic changed, he taunted Tan Jingzhi: "And you, he still doesn't like you, not because you are willing to be depraved and not motivated, but because you are so ambitious and wrong-minded. I was dubious before, but when I saw you today, my father really said That's right."

"Your father-in-law didn't want to find a good official position for you, and couldn't support you as a courtier, so you started to have evil thoughts. When you failed to bribe the officials in the DPRK, you thought of Xu Lin'er who was abandoned by you. You are really crazy."

Qin Feng shook his head: "If you are too impatient, you will lose your heart, which is not a good thing."

Tan Jingzhi stayed alone in the alley for a long time, Tan Feng's words kept echoing in his ears.

Is this Qin Feng really what he looks like on the surface, a libertine who only eats, drinks, and has nothing to do?
He leaned on the wall and walked to the street step by step. The street was full of bustle and bustle, which dazzled him.

He muttered to himself: "I really have changed?"

Back at Tan's Mansion, Tan Huaixin was discussing matters with Tan Yingxuan in the front hall. Tan Feng wanted to pretend not to see him and hurried past, but Tan Huaixin saw him and called him in.

Tan Feng walked in slowly, and saluted perfunctorily: "Father, brother."

Tan Huaixin frowned and asked, "Drinking again?"

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, Tan Feng hiccupped unexpectedly, the air was full of the smell of alcohol, Tan Yingxuan was disgusted, waved his hand and said: "Since you have drunk, then go back and rest."

"Yes, father."

Turning around and about to leave, Tan Huaixin called him again.

"My father has official duties and he will leave Beijing tomorrow. Don't sleep too much. Get up early and see your father off with me."

When mentioning this matter, Tan Feng suddenly thought that Chu Zhijiang's wedding would be in a few days. He forced a smile and replied: "Don't worry, brother, I'll go back to sleep first, so as not to be unable to get up tomorrow morning."

After a few words of confidence, Tan Huai let him go.

On the way back to the room, the night wind blew gently, and his face felt chilly. He frowned deeply, feeling very upset.
