Chapter 18 Finger for Marriage
After thinking about it again, Tang Xiaoxiao still couldn't bear to let Zhaole come forward to help him check, after all, she was her future sister-in-law, and if something happened, she couldn't help it, so she cooperated with her to act in front of outsiders, and secretly checked Ye Zhenping everywhere.
By the time Ye Zhixian knew, Tang Xiaoxiao had already found the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Ye Zhixian hurried from the Ministry of Officials to the Prime Minister's Mansion to stop her, afraid that she would make some reckless moves because of her gaffe.
"Hanlin Academy's editor Tang Feng, ask to see the Prime Minister!" With a bag in her hand, she raised her voice at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Hearing that Tang Feng came to the door, Ye Zhenping asked people to invite him in, while he waited for him in the hall.
Tang Xiaoxiao was led into the main hall by the people of the Ye Mansion, and Ye Zhenping was sitting in the high hall as if he had been waiting for him for a long time. Ye Zhenping caught a glimpse of the bag in her hand, and hurriedly opened the next person.
"I've seen the Prime Minister." Tang Xiaoxiao saluted with a serious face.
"Tang Editor, please take a seat."
Tang Xiaoxiao raised the tip of his mouth when he raised the tip of his hand, and Ye Zhenping had some eyebrows in his heart when he saw this bag.
"Grandfather!" Ye Zhixian hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion, who knew that she and Ye Zhenping were talking and laughing and chatting in the courtyard.
"Master Ye." Tang Xiaoxiao got up and saluted respectfully, but when he looked up, he smiled, which made Ye Zhixian a little confused.
"What the hell is going on?" Ye Zhixian asked her quietly.
Ye Zhenping stroked his beard and shook his head with a smile, and Tang Xiaoxiao also grinned.
"Is that so?"
Ye Zhixian suddenly realized, only then did he learn that Tang Zhong had saved Ye Zhenping's life when he was in danger, and when his son was admitted to the top prize, Ye Zhenping had long wanted to see him, but he didn't want someone to want to kill him, so he changed his mind and sent someone to protect him secretly.
When the man in black did it before, Ye Zhenping's people were nearby, but every time Ye Zhixian and Xu Zhouyin "grabbed" to protect him, there was no room for action, and he didn't come forward to abandon the official prison to save him, which was also for Tang Zhong's words when he retired - "The overall situation is important", Ye Zhenping couldn't be clearer about which overall situation he was talking about.
Ye Zhixian couldn't cry or laugh after listening to it, blaming himself for not listening to Ye Zhenping's words and leaving.
"In this bag, it is a token of the old man and Tang Zhong, seeing the token is like seeing a person, give up my old life, and the old man will protect you." Ye Zhenping sighed, "It's just that I didn't expect that the emperor wanted to 'hide' Tang Feng, but he didn't expect that you, this little baby, would suddenly come out at this juncture, alas, ......"
"I already know the ins and outs of the whole thing, but it's not just that I can't worry about my brother, but my parents are also worried," Tang Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled, "If the prime minister doesn't dislike it, can I ...... it?"
"Just say it, it's good," Ye Zhenping smiled with satisfaction, "It's also my Ye Zhenping's granddaughter-in-law, hahahaha......"
"What...... What the? This sentence made Tang Xiaoxiao and Ye Zhixian look at each other.
It turns out that the token is not only an ordinary token, but also a token of the marriage contract between the Ye family and the Tang family when Ye Zhixian and Tang Xiaoxiao were not born, Ye Zhenping made the decision for his son Ye Peng, if both sides are boys, they will worship the sons of the Tang family as brothers, if they are girls, they will worship as sisters, and if they are a man and a woman, they will become in-laws.
"But the old man didn't expect that this Tang Zhong actually had both children and daughters, but it's a pity that ......"
"What a pity?" Ye Zhixian hurriedly asked, but Tang Xiaoxiao on the side snickered in his heart.
"It's a pity that right now, Tang Feng hasn't been able to 'return to the throne', so my granddaughter-in-law can't recognize it for the time being, when the time is ripe, the old man will handle the marriage between the two of you, okay?"
In the face of Ye Zhenping's proposal, Ye Zhixian was very happy, Tang Xiaoxiao glanced at him, and said to Ye Zhenping: "This marriage event still needs to be considered in the long run, although it ...... We ......," she blushed, "we're just good brothers now, he'...... Whether it is suitable to be my future husband, I have to see again......"
"Hey, you...... I ......"
Ye Zhenping looked at Ye Zhixian's somewhat uncontrollable appearance, nodded, and understood the meaning of Tang Xiaoxiao's words: "That's it, this idle child really needs to be looked at again, if you have a fancy to which son, you can discuss it with the old man, Tang Zhong will not go out of the mountain for a day, and you will regard me as your indestructible backer." β
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
"Don't see the outside like this, when there is no one else, although the idle children are generally called the old man and grandfather, outside, you still have to be called the 'prime minister', the rules are for others to see, understand?"
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, and after bidding farewell to Ye Zhenping, Ye Zhixian walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with the two of her.
"Okay," she breathed a sigh of relief, "knowing that this matter has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, a stone in my heart has been put down, and if it is really related to the Prime Minister, I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with it alone." β
"What are you going to do next?"
"I ......," she pretended to think deeply, "Think about it, Ye Zhixian is not suitable to be my 'brother-in-law'." β
"You!"
Tang Xiaoxiao smiled, couldn't help but want to hold his hand, and turned his back to his back: "Bear with me, wait for everything to 'fall back', if you are willing to wait for me, if you haven't changed your mind by then, we will talk about this matter again." β
Ye Zhixian smiled and nodded: "I'll wait for you." β
She secretly made up her mind to stay in the capital, stay in the Hanlin Academy, keep Tang Feng's official position and secretly help him find out the unsolved cases at the beginning. His assassination must be related to the unsolved case, and when everything is over, she will restore her daughter's body, hoping that Tang Feng can also recover her memory and return to her position, and then she will be with Ye Zhixian openly.
However, Tang Xiaoxiao is a daughter's business, Ye Peng and his wife don't know about it, they think it's just a brother, and they also care for her, so let Ye Zhixian take care of his brother more.

"What? And the bodies are hidden in mass graves? Tang Xiaoxiao was almost choked by the tea in his mouth, "Brother, should you have ...... Hide the corpse, okay? β
"What nonsense," Tang Feng, who was sitting at the desk looking at the case file, glanced up at her, "If you're fine, don't keep running to me, in case you attract someone to see who will clean it up for you." β
"You," Tang Xiaoxiao walked to the desk and squatted down, looking at him with a smile on his hands on the desk, "Although you don't remember what happened before, but our blood is thicker than water, you will definitely move your body before your brain, and you will fight to save me, after all...... You are the brother who loves me the most. β
Tang Feng lowered his head and continued to look at the case file impatiently: "You go back quickly, don't make trouble for me." β
"Hey, brother, you know Ye Zhixian, right? It's the grandson of the prime minister who is the same champion as you. β
ββ¦β¦β
Tang Xiaoxiao got up and leaned against the desk with his back to him, and said with a smile: "It turns out that we are a couple of 'fingers for marriage'. β
Tang Feng stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly.
"Moreover, you and he can be married as brothers, the prime minister and Ye Zhixian's parents are very good to me," she turned around and said excitedly, "In the future, you Tang Feng will have someone to protect in the capital, and if you become a concubine in the future, the emperor will be your father-in-law, and ......"
"Don't get carried away," Tang Feng got up and closed the case file and walked in front of her, frowning, and said coldly, "It's indispensable to guard against people, you trust others so easily, and one day you will be betrayed by someone, and you don't know how you died." β
Tang Xiaoxiao was speechless for a while, but he felt that the brother in front of him was too strong, and he was a little out of breath when he judged him before.
