Chapter 444 Dismissal
When Qin Huiyin came back with the teapot, Gong Qianyue had already left.
She looked around but saw no one.
"Stop looking, he's gone."
Qin Huiyin was stunned and put the teapot on the table: "So soon?"
Tang Yichen tapped the table lightly: "Pour tea."
"I'm not your maid, don't you know that?" Qin Huiyin fanned herself with an exquisite round fan.
"You tricked me out of my busy schedule to deal with trouble, and in return I can't even get you to pour me a cup of tea?" Tang Yichen was unhappy.
"You're still complaining? Who caused this peach blossom debt? Was it you? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have to deal with her at all."
"I just wanted you to pour me a cup of tea, but you were so reluctant. If your brother Song asked you to pour it, would you also refuse in the same way?"
Qin Huiyin: "..."
A little guilty.
She quickly poured a cup of tea, placed it in front of Tang Yichen very obediently, and said with a smile: "Brother, please have some tea."
Tang Yichen drank a sip with a satisfied look on his face, frowned and said, "It's hot."
Qin Huiyin took it, blew it, and handed it over again.
Only then did Tang Yichen drink the cup of tea with satisfaction.
"It's hot, fan yourself."
Qin Huiyin rolled her eyes and fanned him with a fan: "Brother, is this wind speed suitable?"
"It's okay!" Tang Yichen drank tea and enjoyed Qin Huiyin's service.
He had been very busy with official duties recently, and a bunch of troubles had been making him anxious and worried, but now a lot of the haze has been dispelled, like a breeze sweeping over him, and he feels refreshed.
"What did you say to her just now?"
"It's just a thank you for her kindness, but I'm not worthy of it."
"She gave up just like that?" Qin Huiyin was surprised. "She's liked you for so long, and she gave up just with a few words?"
"Her affection is nothing more than a weighing of the pros and cons. How sincere is it? Anyway, I'm pretty good-looking, don't have any bad habits, and come from an ordinary family, so I'm easy to control. If she marries me, it would be like marrying down. The whole family would have to hold her in high esteem and make her the head of the household. Although she's the legitimate daughter of the Gong family, the second branch has always been mediocre. Even if she were to find a husband, there wouldn't be many good ones. Instead of marrying a bastard's son or the legitimate son of a fourth or fifth rank official, at least I have the potential to rise up."
Qin Huiyin: "..."
So heartbreaking, so realistic, and so reasonable.
"Brother, you must find someone you really love in the future. You only live once, and if you can't be with the one you love, every day will be torture and terrible."
"I'll let you check it for my brother when the time comes. If you think it's okay, we can talk about it later." Tang Yichen tapped her forehead. "Okay, I'm going back to do my job."
Zhilan came back with a lunch box and handed it to Chenyu beside her.
"This is the meal I asked the chef at home to prepare. No matter how busy I am, I have to eat and drink well. I can't let my body suffer."
"it is good."
Qin Huiyin walked Tang Yichen to the government office opposite. Just as Tang Yichen was about to go in, several officials came out.
"Master Tang, this time it's..."
Tang Yichen smiled faintly: "This is my younger sister."
"It turned out to be Miss Tang."
"Her last name is Qin."
Several officials looked at each other and quickly changed their words.
Tang Yichen's family situation is no secret. Since her surname is Qin, she is not a biological sister, but a stepsister.
"It's time for dinner, do you want to come with us?"
"No, my sister brought me some food."
"Lord Tang is so lucky!" The officials exchanged a few words and then left.
Tang Yichen was about to go in, but after taking a few steps, he stepped back and looked at Qin Huiyin: "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
"Isn't this not good?"
"Everyone has gone to eat now, and there are only a few people left inside. You brought so much food, I can't finish it all by myself, can't I share it with my brother?"
"Actually, I'm still very curious about what it's like inside." Qin Huiyin said, "Then I won't be polite."
The legendary Censorate is not a place that anyone can enter. If you miss this opportunity today, you may not have this opportunity again in the future.
Qin Huiyin followed Tang Yichen into the Censorate. Everyone they met along the way took the initiative to greet Tang Yichen, and Tang Yichen would take the initiative to introduce Qin Huiyin when greeting them.
"This is my second sister. She came to bring me food, so I took her out for a walk."
Many officials brought food from home, and they had a unified dining place. At this time, Tang Yichen took Qin Huiyin to the dining place.
When they walked in, pairs of eyes looked over and the entire lobby suddenly fell silent.
Places like the Censorate were always dreary, a bunch of sleazy men bickering one day and sparring the next, fighting again outside and then back home. It seemed like nothing much was going on, but in the end, it was all just a mess. But today, a bright moon appeared in such a dreary place. Suddenly, the dreary Censorate didn't seem so dreary anymore.
Qin Huiyin pulled Tang Yichen: "Shouldn't I come in? I feel like everyone doesn't welcome me."
Tang Yichen took her arm and led her inside: "Your feeling is very inaccurate."
This is not unwelcome, it's just shocking.
He suddenly felt a little regretful for bringing Yinyin in.
But since I'm already in, I can't take it out at this time. It would seem weird.
"This is my sister..." Tang Yichen repeated the lines introducing Qin Huiyin.
"Hello, sister." A series of enlarged smiling faces appeared in front of Qin Huiyin.
"Brother Tang, has my sister proposed?" a young official asked quietly.
Bang! A harsh sound from the opposite side interrupted Tang Yichen's words.
Tang Yichen looked over and saw someone who shouldn't be there but happened to be there.
"Why is he here?"
"Commander Song came to the Censorate to look for Lord Nalan. Lord Nalan had gone out on business and hadn't returned yet, so Lord Song said he would wait for him here. Coincidentally, his family brought him food, so he dined here."
Qin Huiyin's eyes sparkled when she saw Song Ruize.
However, thinking that Song Ruize had never told anyone that she was his sister, he stayed obediently by Tang Yichen's side.
"Hey, Master Tang, your dishes are surprisingly similar to Master Song's!" The person next to him said in surprise, "Did you choose the same restaurant to make these?"
Tang Yichen glanced at the dishes in front of Song Ruize, then glanced at the dishes that Chen Yu had just put out, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qin Huiyin.
Qin Huiyin: "..."
Are there any floor seams?
She wanted to drill.
"Your tastes are really similar. However, Master Song has an extra shrimp dish, and Master Tang has an extra fish dish. The rest of the dishes are exactly the same."
Qin Huiyin muttered in her heart: Because Song Ruize likes to eat shrimp, and Tang Yichen doesn’t like to eat shrimp but likes to eat fish.
The two brothers treated everyone equally and asked if the water in the bowl was very level.
