After Jia Yue left, Zhang Tianping asked his wife, "Yuezhu, what do you think of Jia Yue?"

"What do you mean, how do you see it?"

"I see that you get along well with her. I'm thinking, how about we become relatives? She's all alone, and she can bring joy to both of us."

Madam Wu, also known as Wu Yuezhu, was stunned for a moment. She thought of her deceased children and shook her head: "No one in this world can replace Xiaobao and Xiaobei. I don't want Xiaobao and Xiaobei to feel that we, as their parents, have abandoned them. Jiayue is a good child. If you are willing, take good care of her and treat her like your own niece from now on."

Hearing her say that, Zhang Tianping was also reminded of his two children.

Both their children were capable, but too capable and too successful. They sacrificed themselves for the country; one died on the battlefield, and the other died saving others. Neither of them left any descendants.

Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are nicknames for children, meaning they are the parents' precious treasures.

"It was my fault, I shouldn't have brought it up."

“There’s no question of whether or not to mention it. Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei are our children. It’s good to mention them more often. Maybe one day they’ll be willing to come to our dreams to see us. I don’t know if those two kids are upset that I didn’t accompany them when they were little, because they’ve never come to my dreams.”

"Okay, then let's mention it more often."

Seeing his wife's current appearance, Zhang Tianping felt very grateful to Jia Yue. You see, he never dared to mention his children before. Even the occasional appearance of something that his little ones had used would cause her a pang of sadness.

It's okay to bring it up now. Although the pain is still there, facing it is better than running away.

For Zhang Tianping, his children were important. He was devastated when they passed away, but his wife was even more important than his children.

Of course, his wife was unaware of his true intentions.

Jia Yue's biography was easy to find, but Zhang Tianping found it in just one day. After reading about Jia Yue's life, Zhang Tianping felt a bit emotional. She wasn't an easy person either. It could be said that her life actually got better after her father died.

As for whether there was any suspicion about Jia Yue?

Of course I never doubted it. Not to mention that she went through several detours in the process, her stepmother slapping her biological father happened in full view of everyone.

With witnesses and physical evidence, as for the small amount of emotionally agitating drug she administered, Xu Jiancheng's ashes were thoroughly disposed of in the cesspool, and the small dose in the stepmother's body was completely metabolized before her death.

She washed and cleaned the dishes and chopsticks used for meals that same day.

She is the most innocent one; even if the Heavenly King himself came, she would still be innocent.

After Zhang Tianping finished his investigation, he genuinely treated her as his niece.

When Jia Yue came over again, she could feel the closeness between the couple even more.

Jia Yue naturally reciprocated the kindness of her elders, who were also heroes. Only sincerity could earn sincerity in return. As they got along, the Zhang family courtyard almost became her second home.

Nearly half a month later, Yin Zheng said the exhibition was about to begin.

The location was personally arranged by Yin Zheng, and all the items used were unremarkable but actually rare and valuable. As for the source of these items, they were naturally borrowed from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

It would be difficult for an ordinary person to borrow something, but his family background is something else! Besides, he borrowed some not-so-precious cultural relics in the name of his work unit; to be precise, they were antiques, not cultural relics of the protected level.

He borrowed it without feeling guilty, and the other party didn't think it was too much of a problem.

Jia Yue followed him to the venue and saw the layout. Compared to the style of decades later, the decorations here were obviously not bright enough, but they had a unique charm with the simplicity and cleanliness that was characteristic of this era.

"This is the place. You can make the tea, and I'll take care of introducing the tea."

Jia Yue looked around. This place wasn't exactly the center of the exhibition. Even though Yin Zheng's family was well-off, tea exports weren't a major focus. The tea exhibition wasn't exactly in some remote corner, but it was still on the periphery.

Several antique-style screens enclose a small "room" with three walls, and inside the room are two tea tables, one large and one small, one tall and one short.

The taller tea table is for customers to enjoy tea, while the slightly shorter one, which looks more rustic, is for her to perform at.

To drink her tea, you need to intend to order it.

The room was sparsely furnished with some green plants, and next to the low tea table were some stones with seemingly random but not so random shapes. On the table was a plain white porcelain vase with two flowers in it.

It's elegant, truly elegant.

She never doubted this man's taste.

In a place like this, if the price of tea is too low, the buyer will feel embarrassed. The taste of tea depends on the quality of the tea itself, the skill of brewing, and the environment in which you drink it.

Putting everything else aside, if she wasn't mistaken, that porcelain vase was a product of the official kilns during the Yongzheng period.

"You've put a lot of effort into decorating this place, is the vase alright?"

Yin Zheng smiled and said, "I like decorating these. I got the vase privately. Unless you look closely at the inscription, most people won't notice. If anyone asks, just say it's from the Cultural Relics Bureau. The screen, table and everything else were all moved here from the Cultural Relics Bureau."

Jia Yue nodded. This person did indeed have some hobbies, such as designing clothes, designing porcelain, designing courtyards, and arranging gardens...

The Hall of Mental Cultivation, where he used to live, was decorated by him personally, and it was exactly the same in elegance.

However, her second reaction was: "Won't anyone say anything about what you've done?"

"Don't worry, all of this has been approved by the organization and complies with regulations."

When he does things, he naturally takes everything into consideration. Moreover, the situation in the capital is now relatively stable and not as chaotic as it was at the beginning. Given his status, unless he is completely destroyed, no one will touch him.

Nowadays, it's not as easy for people in the military to fight each other as it was at the beginning. The military is very united now. Although Yin Zheng is in the administrative system, most of his family members are in the military.

He achieved so much during his time in the countryside, there's no reason for him to become obscure after coming to Beijing. He must do this small thing well in order to make progress.

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to switch departments.

The tea industry is good, but other sectors have a much brighter future!

Jia Yue was relieved to receive Yin Zheng's affirmation. She had heard of this era and was afraid that he might not know his place.

The next day, Jia Yue wore neatly ironed clothes, and her hair was tied up with a very ordinary-looking wooden hairpin, revealing her full forehead and elegant features. It was a very ordinary outfit, but she looked like a lady who had stepped out of a painting.

Yin Zheng looked at him with amazement: "You're here, please sit down."

As the group leader, Yin Zheng had several people under him, and they all saw Jia Yue and couldn't help but look at her.

Jia Yue sat down and then asked, "Shall we begin now?"

"Wait a little longer, start when someone comes. You don't need to keep making tea all the time, do you understand what I mean?"

Jia Yue nodded: "A rare commodity to hoard?"

Yin Zheng smiled and nodded: "That makes sense."
