The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1108

[Chapter 1108 Zuixianlou]

Chen Huifang wanted to say it was okay, but she didn’t know where she got the courage to speak to Lin Tian.

“What’s the matter? You made my little cutie so shy.”

Lin Tian thought that after spending so much time with Chen Huifang, she had already been rude to him. Unexpectedly, seeing her like this today, Lin Tian knew that Chen Huifang had not completely let go in front of him. So, Lin Tian said to Chen Huifang half-jokingly.

Lin Tian’s words made Chen Huifang shy again, but she still mustered up the courage to say to Lin Tian: “That’s it… It’s about what my grandfather asked you to do before, the whereabouts of my parents.”

“Oh, you mean this matter, although I want to help you find out, but I don’t have the specific information about your parents. If I ask rashly in the court, I’m afraid it will arouse their suspicion.

Can you tell me some news about your parents? If it’s convenient, it will greatly help me help you find your parents.”

After hearing what Chen Huifang said, Lin Tian realized that Chen Huifang was asking about the whereabouts of his parents, so Lin Tian spoke to Chen Huifang.

Since Lin Tian brought Chen Huifang back, he has been solving the problem of making Yan State rich, researching glass, building greenhouses, letting villagers raise pigs, and the autumn harvest ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens. Therefore, Lin Tian forgot the entrustment of Chen Huifang and Chen Hao. Lin Tian can only

lie to Chen Huifang now. If he doesn’t say so, Chen Huifang may think that he is a person who easily breaks his promise.

“So, I was abandoned by my parents to my grandfather when I was young, and I have lived with my grandfather for so many years, but I have no news about my parents, nor do I have any information about them.

If there is any, it is only the parents mentioned by my grandfather. My grandfather told me that my father is a senior official in the court and has a pivotal position in the court. Therefore, he is very busy all year round, and my mother has to stay by his side to help my father.”

Chen Huifang said to Lin Tian.

“This… Do you remember what your grandfather told you about your parents? For example, birthmarks or something.”

Lin Tian heard Chen Huifang’s words, although he seemed a little speechless, but still reminded Chen Huifang of the characteristics of her parents.

“Now that you mention it, I remember that my grandfather told me that there was a scar on my father’s back that was caused by someone being injured. It should be a scar from a knife.”

Chen Huifang really thought of something after Lin Tian’s reminder, and quickly spoke to Lin Tian.

“Were your parents military officers before? Military officers have been fighting for many years, and it is inevitable that they will have some scars on their bodies. If your parents are military officers, it may be a bit troublesome to find them.”

Lin Tian thought of some military generals in the court who also had some scars on their bodies, so he spoke to Chen Huifang.

“No, no, no, my grandfather said that my father was a civil official, but my father followed the emperor to fight.”

After hearing what Lin Tian said, Chen Huifang quickly waved her hand and denied it to Lin Tian.

“Oh?”

Lin Tian thought about what Chen Huifang said. Since Chen Huifang’s father was a civil official, how could he have fought with the emperor?

In addition, Yan State had not fought for more than ten years except for the previous war with Qi State. If we calculate according to Chen Huifang’s age, then what Chen Huifang said is probably the previous dynasty, after all, the current Emperor of Yan has just been in office for less than ten years.

“If it is according to what you said, then your parents should be officials of the previous dynasty. Now it has been more than ten years since the change of dynasties. Many officials of the previous emperor are no longer here, and only some senior officials are still assisting the emperor.

Or your parents are those high-ranking officials in the current dynasty, but now they have all retired and returned to their hometowns. Have you moved? Did your parents not find you after they returned home?”

Lin Tian analyzed to Chen Huifang, but after Chen Huifang heard what Lin Tian said, the hope on her face instantly disappeared, and there was only a trace of sadness.

Lin Tian saw the change in Chen Huifang’s expression and knew that he had said the wrong thing, but Lin Tian had no chance to change his words now.

“I remember that some of those officials are still in the court. Why don’t I accompany you to visit them later? If they are not, they should have heard some information about your parents.”

Lin Tian could only say this to Chen Huifang.

“Well. That’s all we can do now.”

Chen Huifang nodded and said to Lin Tian with a disappointed look on her face.

“Let’s go, don’t be unhappy, I’ll take you to eat delicious food.”

Seeing Chen Huifang’s disappointment, Lin Tian took Chen Huifang’s hand and said to her, while walking out the door.

Since the emperor wanted him to promote pig farming, Lin Tian arranged Lin Hu in the village yesterday to send a few pigs today. After Lin Tian came back, he even asked the housekeeper to book the most famous restaurant in Jizhou, the capital of Yan State, Zuixianlou.

Today, Lin Tian will use his own method to promote pig farming in Zuixianlou.

When the emperor arranged for Lin Tian to promote pig farming, he had a rough promotion method in mind. So Lin Tian’s main task today is to promote pork.

Since it is promoted to the vast number of Yan people, only by letting them feel the charm of pork can they recognize pork from the essence.

Since pork is recognized by them, if they are told that raising pigs can make money, they will definitely be eager to raise pigs. Wouldn’t pig farming be popularized by then?

Lin Tian took Chen Huifang to Zuixianlou for convenience. Although Lin Tian had booked Zuixianlou, he didn’t let them put up a sign, so Zuixianlou was still a place for people to eat.

It was dinner time, and many people were eating and drinking in Zuixianlou. As the most famous restaurant in Jizhou, the capital of Yan State, it was full of dignitaries and wealthy merchants. Zuixianlou was even more crowded at this time, and it was no less lively than usual.

Lin Tian had already arranged for the housekeeper to let his own cook come to Zuixianlou.

Originally, there were cooks in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, but after Lin Tian was not satisfied with the food they cooked, he arranged them to other places.

As a time traveler from the 21st century, Lin Tian could not eat the food he wanted here, so he deliberately emphasized his own food again and again.
