Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 73: There is also Zhao Lang in the world

Cui Wenjing left.

Zhao Changhe sat alone in the pavilion drinking, his eyes still blank.

How did things turn out like this... Didn't I come here to refuse

Is there something wrong... This last proposal was clearly meant to let the Cui family save face. They can just let it go now, and nothing will happen to anyone in three years. Shouldn't you, Cui Wenjing, just go with the flow and finish this matter

But how did it become like this after being twisted around a few times... But it seems that the words are all said by myself, and the other person is very easy to talk to...

To be honest, Zhao Changhe couldn't imagine that the person he was talking to just now was the ninth on the Heavenly Ranking and the head of a noble family. There was really no sense of oppression. Except for a few words of witty tone at the beginning, the rest of the conversation was completely like an old father who was worried about his daughter. He was negotiable and amiable.

Accustomed to the attitude of wealthy families towards poor boys who kidnapped their daughters in novels and movies, Zhao Changhe actually felt that what he was experiencing was very unreal.

However, if you look closely at the results, you will find that the other party got everything they wanted. Although I said those words, they were actually the result of the other party's guidance. I couldn't save face after a few compliments, so I could only rack my brains to think of a solution that everyone could accept.

Actually, the proposal of foster brother and sister was acceptable, and it was also the relationship Zhao Changhe wanted the most. But the old man changed the concept. The original purpose was to solve the problem of Yangyang's reputation. If you really acknowledge this as your adopted son, then it is perfectly normal for a foster brother to escort a foster sister. Wouldn't the reputation problem be solved? How did the concept get changed to whether foster brother and sister can get together? These are two different things, but why did he get confused at that time...

In the end, it will turn out like this. If you are nothing three years later, the other party will naturally treat it as if nothing happened; if this guy can really make it to the list of people three years later, he will be a genius, and they will only laugh their heads off if you two get married on the spot.

No matter how you look at it, the Cui family is not at a loss.

It's really like he was sold and still helped count the money, and he still felt that the other party was very good... Zhao Changhe finally came to his senses and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This is Qinghe Cui.

The aristocratic family has been standing for so many years, and they have their own ways. He cannot be regarded as a martial artist. The identity of being the ninth on the Heavenly Ranking is not applicable at this time. In Cui Wenjing's mind, this is his daughter's lifelong event, and it is also an important matter for the Cui family, and it is also a political matter. With his suspicious identity, how could Old Cui dare to recognize him as his adopted son!

Others take it very seriously and I am just a young boy, I really can't handle it.

I wonder how Chi Chi will be dealt with after this news gets out

Headache.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao!" Cui Yuanyang's voice came from afar.

Zhao Changhe turned his head and saw the little girl running among the flowers with her skirt lifted up and a happy smile on her face, like a butterfly flying through flowers. Her smile was more beautiful than the surrounding flowers and trees.

Isn't it worth it just for her to smile like this

I don't know if we should thank Cui Wenjing instead, because he was so cunning and handled the situation properly and didn't turn it into a knife.

I really don’t have the energy to think about the future.

“Brother Zhao!” Cui Yuanyang ran into the pavilion happily, looking as if he wanted to throw himself into Zhao Changhe’s arms. But then he became embarrassed and stopped in front of him. He blushed and lowered his head: “My father said, said…”

Zhao Changhe couldn't help rubbing her head: "No matter what he said, at least I don't want to run away now, I can be a guest and stay for a few days."

Cui Yuanyang lowered his head and played with the corner of his clothes: "In my father's opinion, if the conditions are not met in three years, we can just end this matter naturally, but I... I know that Brother Zhao has a stubborn temper. He said this just to get it done, not to give everyone a way out."

Zhao Changhe smiled and said, "This is not something I can do just because I want to. I'm underestimating the human rankings."

Cui Yuanyang lowered his head even lower, his voice as thin as a mosquito: "I... I also want you to complete it, I think you can do it."

This is equivalent to saying "I want you to marry me", but it is more touching than saying it directly.

Zhao Changhe sighed, but couldn't help but said, "Yangyang, have you ever thought about the fact that you have been at home since you were a child, and it is difficult for you to go out and meet too few people."

"Brother Zhao means that Yangyang may not really like you, but she was just touched by their sharing of life and death this time. If she meets another outstanding man in the future, maybe she will know what she loves?"

"Why are you becoming less and less naive? Is this the emotional cognition you should have?" "Because many people kept repeating this in my ears last night, I'm tired of hearing it. I thought Brother Zhao was free and easy, but he turned out to be like a gossipy old woman."

Zhao Changhe burst out laughing.

“Is it difficult for Brother Zhao… In Brother Zhao’s mind, Yangyang is just a child, and she really doesn’t mean what others think. That’s why he said the same thing as them, trying to persuade Yangyang… But…” Cui Yuanyang finally raised her head and looked into his eyes bravely: “I will grow up, and let Brother Zhao like me!”

The soft light in the girl's eyes can really melt an iron heart into water, just like a strand of silk thread slowly entwined around the heart, never to be untied.

Zhao Changhe knew he couldn't solve it. Regardless of whether he had that intention before, he had it now.

It turns out this is what it feels like to be liked and confessed to by a girl.

Who can withstand this test for cadres

His mind was wandering, he didn't know what he was thinking, but the words that came out of his mouth were already: "Yangyang doesn't need to grow up, Brother Zhao likes Yangyang like this."

Cui Yuanyang smiled, the joy in his eyes and brows brightened, and the colorful surroundings were eclipsed.

She happily took Zhao Changhe's hand and strolled casually in the garden, whispering: "Yangyang has seen quite a few men. My father is on the Heaven List, the Earth List, and my uncles are on the Human List. My brother is still in his twenties and is the third most talented person. Our family has been together for generations and has seen a lot of heroes. I thought that heroes in the world are just like this..."

Zhao Changhe couldn't help but continue: "Who would have thought that there is Zhao Lang in the world? It sounds like this is the trend."

Cui Yuanyang looked at him in surprise for a long while, then chuckled and said, "How shameless."

“Hehe.”

Cui Yuanyang shaved his face and said, "Since Brother Zhao wants this sentence, then let's take it as this sentence. It's almost the same anyway."

"Hey... that sounds so perfunctory."

"I just want to say that no matter how good they are, no matter how crude and bandit Zhao Changhe is, Yangyang will definitely rely on you." Cui Yuanyang didn't look at him, his eyes rolling around as he looked at the butterfly picking flowers next to him: "After three years, if you can't make it, I will, I will elope with you."

I don’t know what the postures of the butterflies and flowers made her think of, but accompanied by the words of elopement, her rosy face was as bright as the morning glow at this moment.

Zhao Changhe did not answer this question. He couldn't just say that he just couldn't do it and would wait for you to elope... He also couldn't boast that such a request could really be achieved. That would be arrogant.

But at this moment he did have one more reason to practice, and he knew that he didn't need to grope around as hard as before. The Cui family would definitely help him, either overtly or covertly. For them, this was an investment, and they would not let him develop on his own.

As expected, Cui Yuanyang said the next moment: "Wei County is only our sphere of influence. Magistrate Zhang is our man, but this is not Qinghe. Dad will leave for home today, and things at home have not been dealt with yet... Brother Zhao, come back with us and stay for a few days. We will give you something at home, and you are not allowed to say no now... Even if it is just a thank you gift, it is reasonable."

Zhao Changhe nodded without being pretentious: "I also want to go to Qinghe to have a look... In addition, judging from your father's old fox template, the one who was imprisoned is most likely not the real murderer. It is more likely that your father is acting to lure the snake out of its hole..."

Cui Yuanyang was stunned and his eyes widened in surprise.
