Tang Ming had the token given by Yao Guangxiao, and now that he was coming to the palace for the second time, he naturally knew the way, so he didn't let people inform Li Jinglong, but took Chen Jialan and Xiao Ding, who were disguised as men, to the palace gate directly. showed the token, found out the identity, and entered the palace gate without any obstruction.

Leading the way for them was a little father-in-law, less than twenty years old, who spoke in a shrill voice that gave people the feeling of being more of a girl than Ding. This person is also a person with eyes, from the moment he saw the token held by Tang Ming, he had the heart to make friends, and after some inquiry, he learned that Tang Ming was actually the righteous son of the Three Treasures.

It turned out that when Zhu Di was in Jingjing, Zheng He secretly contacted his friends who were also father-in-law in Nanjing, and got a lot of Jianwen's secrets from them, and the three treasures made great contributions to this. At this time, the person who led Tang Ming was one of them, and he naturally recognized the Three Treasures, which would be his own family, of course, more polite.

Tang Ming didn't expect Zheng He's connections to be so extensive, and he could even meet his father-in-law's old friend in the palace in Nanjing, so he became more polite. took out ten taels of silver from his body again, secretly stuffed it into his hand, and said with a smile: "I hope that my father-in-law doesn't care, because the kid is too anxious to go out, he will not carry much silver on his body, and he will definitely make up for it in full the next visit." ”

The little father-in-law is also a wonderful person, and the action of receiving the silver in his hand is not ambiguous at all, but he laughs sharply: "Childe is talking about that, and he is his own person, so you don't need to be polite." ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the gate of the prison, and the jailer guarding the door was stunned for a moment when he saw Tang Ming, as if he was very strange about his two visits to the prison today. However, under the persuasion of the little father-in-law, Tang Ming and Tang Ming showed their tokens again, and the jailer was no longer suspicious and let Tang Ming and them in.

The prison is a place of bad luck, and no one will easily enter this kind of place unless it is absolutely necessary, and the little father-in-law is no exception. He stopped at the door and waited here, and didn't follow up.

This is exactly what Tang Ming wants, this time there are two followers behind him, naturally it can't be compared to the last time he was alone, it would be better if he didn't follow up, so he had to find ways to break people away.

After entering the cell and walking straight to the innermost, he saw Fang Xiaoru standing in the cell looking at them, with no surprised expression on his face, as if he had already calculated that Tang Ming would come back again.

Tang Ming bowed his hand and was about to say hello, but Fang Xiaoru waved his hand to stop him, looking at Chen Jialan, who was dressed as a man, and sighed: "No, you really shouldn't come, I have made it very clear in the letter, with your intelligence, you should be able to think of some things, why bother?" ”

Chen Jialan put down the food box in his hand, bowed slowly in front of Fang Xiaoru, and replied in a choked voice: "The kindness of nurturing has not been repaid, how can Jialan abandon his father." Jialan has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics under the education of his father since he was a child, but he is a daughter and has not been able to share his father's worries. ”

The words made Tang Ming behind him extremely embarrassed, but he didn't expect that this woman was not only beautiful and gentle, but her personality was not bad. At least her current sentiment is much taller than herself, although it is not worth it to die in vain, but it is precisely in this way that her quality can be reflected.

Fang Xiaoru seemed to be pleased with Chen Jialan's words, and actually laughed and said: "You have the heart to accept it for your father, my filial piety is not a senseless sacrifice this time, for my ideals, for my lifelong persistence, for Your Majesty's kindness, I don't regret dying." But you are not my biological daughter after all, and you are the only seedling left in your Chen family, so there is really no need to make these senseless sacrifices. ”

After a pause, Fang Xiaoru continued: "When the old man was in trouble, it was your biological father who pulled me to make the old man today. Raising you to grow up is just a matter of convenience, and you don't need to mention it at all, let alone take it to heart. ”

Chen Jialan's eyes were getting red, tears had blurred her eyes, she didn't care what Fang Xiaoru meant when she said these words, she had more than ten years of nurturing grace, whether it was good or bad, she had it herself. But she did have a little wavering in her heart at this moment, as Fang Xiaoru said, she was the only one left in the Chen family, which made her heart suddenly rise with troubled thoughts.

Fang Xiaoru seemed to be unable to bear to see her daughter suffer any longer, her eyes resolutely turned to Tang Ming, and suddenly said, "How about Xiaoyou's view of my daughter?" ”

The inexplicable Tang Ming was confused by these questions, but he still touched his conscience and replied honestly: "Miss Jialan is as beautiful as a flower, kind and knowledgeable, and she is a phoenix among women." ”

Fang Xiaoru stroked his long beard with his hand, and continued with a smile on his face: "Count your kid as having vision!" ”

nodded approvingly, then turned to Chen Jialan, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said: "Jialan, you should also be at the age of marriage, for the father, the Tang Xiaoyou behind you is not bad, and he is the disciple of my old opponent Yao Guangxiao." In terms of identity, I won't be wronged by you, and you are both about the same age, and now I will marry you to him, I don't know if you agree or not? ”

As soon as these words came out, except for the old fox Fang Xiaoru, all of them were blindfolded, and Tang Ming looked at Fang Xiaoru with a smile on his face, thinking that he had heard it wrong just now.

Xiao Ding, the girl who came to her senses first, looked at Tang Ming with disdain, in her mind, except for those juniors in the princes and nobles in this world, no one can match her own young lady's identity. And in addition to the fact that Tang Ming's whole body is not annoying, there is also a trace of inexplicable intimacy, she really doesn't know that she can be worthy of Miss.

"This ......" Chen Jialan reacted after a long time, although she had a good impression of Tang Ming, Chen Jialan didn't see it in him, like those bad habits that the sons of princes and aristocratic families made her feel annoying. But if you talk about marrying him, it doesn't seem to have reached this level.

Fang Xiaoru didn't give Chen Jialan a chance to speak, and said: "If you still regard me as a father, then you don't have to say anything more, this matter is settled." If you no longer regard me as a father, I will naturally not be able to make decisions for you, and we will have no affection between us, and we will have nothing to do with each other after today. ”

Tang Ming should have been happy when he heard the words, after all, with a beautiful woman like Chen Jialan as his wife, he couldn't find fault at all. But why can't I be happy at the moment, but I always have a feeling of being calculated. When he was racking his brains to think, he saw Chen Jialan's eyes cast with a pleading.

At this time, Chen Jialan's eyes are so similar to his gentle and virtuous wife in his previous life, every time the two disagree and no one can convince anyone, his wife will use this big trick. And he himself obviously didn't want to give in, but every time he came to the end, he ended up defeated.
