Chapter 176: Acknowledged as a Godparent
"Mom, didn't I tell you and Dad that I like Li Wenjing?"
Madam Song sighed, "But I think Zhao Zhan is reliable."
Considering her daughter's future, Mrs. Song prefers Zhao Zhan.
"Mom, although Brother Zhao is a good person, you can't force a relationship. There were so many people asking for your hand in marriage, but you chose Dad. At that time, the Lin family's family background was not even close to that of my grandparents."
Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment. She was confused.
"Since my parents like Brother Zhao, and he has no parents or relatives, they can just adopt him as their adopted son. Why tie their daughter to him?"
Mrs. Song's eyes lit up.
Yes, this is a way to have the best of both worlds.
I don’t know whether Zhao Zhan is willing or not.
For Zhizhi, he even resigned from his position as the commander of the Jinwu Guard.
Lin Zhiyi returned to the hall.
She decided to have a good talk with Zhao Zhan.
Zhao Zhan was a little nervous at this time.
As soon as he returned to Fangzhou, he heard three brothers from the Jinwu Guard tell him that Miss Lin was too close to the deposed crown prince.
He was scared.
It seems that too much happened in the two or three months he was away.
I came here this time with a sense of luck.
The mother and daughter returned to the hall again. Mrs. Song found an excuse to call Lin Fu out. At this time, only Lin Zhiyi and Zhao Zhan were in the room.
"Brother Zhao, thank you for your kindness, but love shouldn't be forced. I like Li Wenjing."
Lin Zhiyi doesn't like dragging things out and playing ambiguously. If she doesn't make things clear with Zhao Zhan today, there will be more trouble in the future.
Zhao Zhan didn't expect Lin Zhiyi to refuse so bluntly, and his heart was instantly gripped.
"Sister, even if you don't like me, it doesn't matter. You can marry anyone but not the deposed crown prince. I still hope you can think it over carefully. The deposed crown prince can't even protect himself, and he wants to drag you down with him. I don't agree."
Lin Zhiyi didn't expect Zhao Zhan to say these words to her.
"Brother Zhao, I understand your feelings, but love is something that cannot be controlled. Didn't you also give up your future and stay in Fangzhou for... for the person you love? Why are you trying to persuade me to wake up now?"
Zhao Zhan paused, "Yes, sister, you are right. Love is something that cannot be controlled by humans."
"Since Brother Zhao calls me sister, are you willing to be my brother? My parents told me that they want to adopt you as their adopted son."
Although Lin Zhiyi was touched by Zhao Zhan's efforts, she did not feel guilty.
She simply thought that Zhao Zhan was a good person, and now he had lost his job. If he was willing to stay and work, the Lin family would have another good helper.
What's more, Zhao killed this man in a martial arts competition.
And when he returns to Chang'an, the Lin family will not treat him unfairly.
It's a win-win situation for him and the Lin family.
Zhao Zhan sighed.
He originally wanted to propose marriage, but Miss Lin didn't like him. Now he is alone and doesn't want to go back to Chang'an.
When he came back this time, he heard from his three brothers that Miss Lin was named Lady of Jiahe County, and she had built a workshop and planted crops that they had never seen before.
Miss Lin is a person who can do great things.
If I could stay here and become Uncle Lin's adopted son, I could see her every day.
If the deposed prince dares to bully her in the future, he can also snatch Miss Lin away.
He could even teach him a lesson as Miss Lin's brother.
Lin Zhi thought Zhao Zhan didn't answer for a long time, thinking he didn't want to, but then she heard Zhao Zhan say, "I do."
Lin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great."
"I'll go call my parents."
Lin Zhiyi went out to call the two elders. After Lin Fu and Mrs. Song knew about it, they looked at each other and saw happiness in each other's eyes.
They really like Zhao Zhan.
Madam Song said, "This child is pitiful. He lost his parents when he was young. I must love him dearly. Zhizhi must not get jealous when the time comes."
Lin Zhiyi curled her lips, then smiled and said, "No, no."
The two returned to the hall.
Seeing the two elders come in, Zhao Zhan stood up, at a loss for a moment.
Just as he was about to kneel down, Lin Fu stopped him and said, "Good boy, don't kneel."
Lin Zhiyi: "You have to kneel."
She ordered Chai Ya to bring more tea and asked Zhao Zhan to serve tea to his parents, and then they would be a family.
But Lin Fu and Madam Song were sweating with anxiety. Madam Song pulled Lin Zhiyi aside and said, "Zhizhi, this is too fast. We haven't prepared the recognition ceremony yet."
"Mother, that's easy. You can make some clothes for Brother Zhao."
"And Dad, wait."
Lin Zhiyi returned to his room, but actually entered the space and found a jade pendant from the space.
This jade pendant was given to the original owner by Lin Fu. It is made of thousand-year-old jade, so its value can be seen.
Asking my father to give this piece to Zhao Zhan can fully express my feelings and Zhao Zhan's care for the Lin family during their exile.
Mrs. Song handed the ancient jade to Lin Fu.
Lin Fu understood instantly.
At this time, Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan just came back. When they heard that their parents wanted to adopt Zhao Zhan as their adopted son, they hurried into the house.
They were all supportive and got along well with him during his time in exile.
Lin Xiuyan knew that Zhao Zhan was the same age as him, both twenty-four, and asked about Zhao Zhan's birthday.
"Haha, you are August and I am March. I am five months older than you. You are the third brother and I am the second brother."
He was so scared that he thought his identity as the second brother would be lost.
Zhao Zhan saluted, "Big brother, second brother."
Lin Xiuran patted his shoulder and said, "Third brother, we will be a family from now on."
Chai Ya brought tea, and Zhao Zhan knelt down and kowtowed to the two elders, "Adoptive father, adoptive mother."
Lin Fu drank tea with Madam Song, and Lin Fu hurriedly helped him up, "Good boy, get up quickly."
Lin Fu handed over the jade pendant.
When Zhao Zhan saw the jade pendant's smooth texture and exquisite carving, he knew it was worth a lot of money and quickly refused it.
Lin Zhiyi, Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan all advised him to accept it, saying that it was a gift from an elder and he could not refuse it, especially since they were already family.
Mrs. Song asked Chai Ya to bring a tape measure to measure Zhao Zhan and write down his size so that she could make clothes for him.
Zhao Zhan was so moved that his eyes turned red. In his entire life, no one was willing to tailor clothes for him.
When he was young, he wore clothes picked up from other people's leftovers. When he grew up, apart from the clothes issued by the court, he bought ready-made clothes in shops.
Lin Xiuran and Lin Xiuyan also said that they were a bit rushed today and did not prepare a gift for their third brother, but they would make it up to him later.
Although Lin Zhiyi didn't say it, he was thinking about forging a sword for Zhao Zhan.
He resigned from his post in the Jinwu Guard and even took back the sword he was wearing.
How can a martial artist not have a handy weapon?
Suddenly I have parents, and they are such good parents, brothers and sisters. It feels like a dream.
He originally came with a betrothal gift to propose marriage, but ended up becoming a godparent.
This feeling seems to be pretty good.
Li Wenjing prepared the betrothal gifts and returned to the Lin family. As soon as he entered the house, he found the betrothal gifts piled up in the yard.
His heart skipped a beat. Someone was faster than him? Who was it?
Li Wenjing heard Zhao Zhan's voice before he entered the house. He snorted coldly. He still hasn't given up?
Today he will make Zhao Zhan give up.
