Chapter 243 Old Father



Jiang Shi would visit every day, but Yu Shangheng never agreed to let him see Yu Tanqi.

Fortunately, Yu Shangheng would not throw away the gifts that Jiang Shi gave to Yu Tanqi, and would give them to her every time.

When Yu Tanqi saw the gift Jiang Shi gave her, she could barely understand the feelings of Yu Shangheng's old father.

But after not seeing Jiang Shi for three days, she couldn't help but ask Yu Shangheng: "When will Dad allow me and Jiang Shi to meet?"

Yu Shangheng glanced at her and said calmly, "When do you want to meet him?"

Yu Tanqi thought carefully and replied, "I think tomorrow will be fine."

Yu Shangheng sneered: "Then think about it."

Yu Tanqi puffed up her cheeks, thinking that middle-aged men really can't stand seeing young couples having a good relationship.

The principal of her middle school was a middle-aged bald man who was very strict in cracking down on premature love. Men and women were not allowed to sit at the same table alone in the cafeteria. If he saw a man and a woman talking alone, he would invite them to his office for tea.

That’s too much.

Is there anyone who can take care of him?

"Dad, when do you plan to return to Jining Prefecture?"

Yu Shangheng looked at her expressionlessly: "Why, do you really want me to leave?"

Yu Tanqi quickly shook his head: "No, I'm just asking. If possible, I naturally hope that Dad can stay in the capital and accompany me forever."

Yu Shangheng said calmly: "I can't stay in the capital forever, but you can go to Jining Prefecture with me. It's not bad to stay in Jining Prefecture for the rest of your life."

Yu Tanqi was horrified: "How can I stay in Jining Prefecture forever while Zi'an is in the capital?"

"He has no achievements now, so he can just follow you to Jining Prefecture and live as an idle noble for the rest of his life."

"That won't work. Zi'an will take part in this year's Autumn Examination and the Imperial Examination next year. He will definitely be on the list."

"You trust him so much? From what I understand, after passing the imperial examination at the age of thirteen, he never went to the Imperial College again. He stayed alone in his mansion for four years, only returning to the academy two years ago. He might be able to pass this autumn's exam, but he's not sure he'll be on the list next year."

"Zi'an has been studying very hard in the Marquis' Mansion, and his grades in the Imperial College have been very good over the past two years. I believe he will definitely pass the imperial examination. Dad, just watch."

Looking at his daughter's serious and determined expression when she mentioned Jiang, Yu Shangheng pursed his lips, but ultimately did not say anything harsh.

But he let Jiang Shi go, but Yu Tanqi did not let him go.

"Dad, you haven't told me when you will leave the capital."

Historically, after officials from other places came to Beijing to meet the emperor and report on their work, they would usually return to their place of work after only staying for about fifteen days.

Those who have relatives in the capital can stay for a few more days, but they cannot stay for too long, otherwise it will cause the emperor's dissatisfaction and suspicion.

Yu Shangheng used to stay in the capital for only seven days before leaving.

But this year, Yu Shangheng has already been in Beijing for ten days and shows no signs of returning.

Seeing Yu Tanqi's expression of insisting on knowing the answer, Yu Shangheng sighed that his daughter was outgoing and said with a straight face, "Dad wants to stay with you for a while longer, so naturally I will leave next month."

next month.

Yu Tanqi counted the days on his fingers.

Today is February 12th. There are 28 days in this month, and at least 16 more days.

Oh my god.

There is still at least half a month left.

When Yu Tanqi thought that she and Jiang Shi might not see each other for half a month, she felt that the days were passing by like years.

How to spend these long days?

For the first time, Yu Tanqi felt that staying at home was not so relaxing and comfortable.

So the next day, she found Yu Shangheng.

"Dad, I'm bored staying in the house all day. I want to go out for a walk."

Yu Shangheng raised his eyebrows: "I remember you said before that you don't like crowds outside, so you don't want to go out?"

Yu Tanqi said calmly, "The Flower Festival is here, and I want to go outside to see the flowers in full bloom."

That's a really good reason.

But Yu Shangheng couldn't see that she wanted to go out and see Jiang Shi.

"It just so happens that I have something to go out for today, so I'll accompany you."

"How can this be so embarrassing? Since Dad has something to do, there's no need to accompany me, so as not to delay your important matters."

"It's nothing serious. It's just a few words. I can also enjoy the blooming flowers with you. It's been a long time since we went out together as father and daughter."

Yu Shangheng looked at Yu Tanqi's expressionless face and said expressionlessly, "Why, don't you want to go out with me?"

Yu Tanqi could only shake his head and said weakly: "No, of course I want to go out with Dad."

No way.

She thought, from ancient times to the present, no one would want to go out with their elders when meeting their loved one.

It's so abominable.

Yu Tanqi was angry but dared not speak.

But when she went out, she still put on the peach blossom hairpin given by Jiang Shi.

Yu Shangheng saw the peach blossom hairpins in her hair again and finally couldn't help but say, "I see you wear these peach blossom hairpins every day. I can see that you like them very much."

Yu Tanqi lowered her head and smiled shyly: "Well, I think it looks good."

"Is this a gift from Jiang Shi?"

"……yes."

Yu Shangheng stared at the peach blossom hairpin in her hair for a long time before saying calmly, "You are young, and these delicately colored headpieces are indeed suitable for you. When we go out today, I will take you to buy a few sets of jewelry so that you can change them every day. You don't have to wear the same headpiece all day long."

"Thank you, Dad, but I think the peach blossom hairpin is very beautiful, and I don't have to change my head ornaments every day."

"Then change it every other day. You'll always find jewelry you like better."

This sentence is actually quite correct.

There are so many beautiful pieces of jewelry that it is impossible to like and wear only one forever.

But Yu Tanqi touched the peach blossom hairpin in her hair and whispered, "But no matter how many beautiful jewelry I have, I will always like this peach blossom hairpin very much."

Because this was given to her by Jiang Shi.

She liked everything Jiang Shi gave her.

Even if I don't wear it all day, I will keep it well.

Her small storeroom in Luqi Courtyard was almost filled with the gifts Jiang Shi had given her over the past two years.

Almost everything she eats, uses, and wears now is Jiang Shi’s.

She wanted to use her own money, but Jiang Shihui stopped her and said gently, "You are my fiancée. You followed me all the way to the capital. How can I let you spend your own money? I would feel uneasy."

He really took good care of her.

She is enriched from the inside out, from emotions to material things.

In the past two years, although there have been quarrels and unhappiness, Jiang Shi has never made Yu Tanqi truly sad.

How could Yu Tanqi not think about Jiang Shi, who is so gentle and generous, day and night?

So before going out, she specifically asked Danhua to help pass a message to Jiang Shi, telling him that she was going out today.

Even if Yu Shangheng was there, he couldn't stop her from meeting him.

After not seeing Jiang for four days, Yu Tanqi felt as if she were in another world. She was almost falling ill with lovesickness.
