Under the surprised and expectant gazes of the family, Qiao Jiao turned over her little hand, and there lay a yellow talisman in her hand.
The Qiao family has always known that Jiaojiao has a magical merit mall where merit can be exchanged for various treasures, but this is the first time they have seen the treasures with their own eyes.
The talisman seal is very new, but it is extremely smooth and there is nothing on it.
Qiao Jiaojiao handed the talisman to Qiao Zhongguo and said with a smile: "Dad, the Vajra Indestructible Talisman, if you stick it to your body, it will be invulnerable!"
She rarely spoke such a long sentence and paused habitually.
"However, it is a one-time use. It can only block one blow, and it will be useless after that."
Qiao Zhongguo took over the talisman seal, still maintaining the qualities of a movie king, with a look of shock and confusion on his face.
"This little one is so powerful?"
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded quickly, "Dad, believe me, really!"
This talisman seal was very expensive, and she was reluctant to use it for demonstration.
"Right, wait!"
Qiao Jiaojiao turned her little hand and conjured another talisman, which was the cheapest Nian Zhuan talisman in the mall.
"Dad, look at this!"
Qiao Jiaojiao put the Nian Zhuan Talisman between her eyebrows, and within two breaths of time, she took it off, and a line of words appeared on it.
——Wish dad and second brother a smooth trip and a safe return!
"Daddy, look!"
The Qiao family saw with their own eyes that the handwriting on the talisman came from scratch, and they couldn't help but marvel.
Qiao Zhongguo was afraid of wasting Qiao Jiaojiao's merits again, so he hurriedly said: "Jiaojiao, dad believes in you, everyone believes in you, there is no need to try."
Qiao Jiaojiao nodded happily and said crisply: "Okay!"
[Dad and my second brother are going to Nanli Country. A Vajra Indestructible Talisman is definitely not enough, but there are only 205 points of merit left, so we must use them wisely. 】
[Anyway, there is still nearly half a month, let me think about it carefully! 】
In the next few days, Qiao Jiaojiao carefully observed the reactions of everyone in the family. Only when she confirmed that they really loved her as before and there was nothing unusual, did she finally feel at ease.

On this day, Duke Yan invited Tan Hanchi to his house.
"sit down."
Duke Yan pointed to the position opposite the chessboard.
Tan Hanchi sat down slightly cautiously. He carefully selected an indigo gown today. It was not made of luxurious material, but it looked steady.
Duke Yan was very casual, "Don't be nervous, I just want to have a casual chat with you. What's next?"
When Tan Hanchi heard this, his eyes fell on the chessboard. Black and white stones were scattered on it, and it was obvious that he had already played half of the game.
"I made this with An Ning this morning. You continue to hold the black piece while we finish it."
Tan Hanchi's heart moved slightly when he heard this, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The two of you came and I moved a few hands, and Duke Yan suddenly said:
"I heard that you asked for the decree granting marriage yourself?"
Tan Hanchi's hand paused slightly while he was making the move, and he nodded solemnly, "Master Huiguo, yes."
Duke Yan nodded lightly, "It seems that you have thought about it well. I tentatively think that you are sincere to Ning'er."
When Tan Hanchi heard this, he said seriously: "My lord, this junior is sincere."
Duke Yan did not refute him, but said calmly:
"You also know that Ning'er's father is a ruthless man, and the lintel of Duke Yan's palace cannot be relied on."
"If I ask that your and Ning'er's eldest son's surname be Zuo, and that he join our Zuo family tree and inherit the title of Duke of Yan, would you be willing?"
When Tan Hanchi heard this request, he replied without any hesitation: "Junior is willing."
When Duke Yan saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "Have you thought of my request for a long time?"
Tan Hanchi nodded slightly.
"If the Crown Prince has no intention of remarrying and having children, after all, it is a hereditary and irreplaceable favor, and the Duke of the Kingdom will inevitably feel regretful."
Duke Yan was shocked by the revelation, and now he vaguely realized what Qiao Zhongguo said: Mr. Tan is smart and transparent, far superior to others.
"You don't have to deserve it so quickly. No one can predict the fate of offspring in this world. If you and Ning'er only have one child, would you be willing?"
Tan Hanchi immediately straightened his expression and said in a deep voice:
"My lord, I don't want to be rich and powerful in this life. I just want to be upright and have peace in the world. I don't want to be single-minded and have a white head."
"If this younger generation is lucky enough to have a son in this life, he will take his mother's surname. If he gets another daughter, it will be God's blessing."
"If we don't have children and grandchildren in this life, and if destiny is like this, the younger generation will have no resentment or resentment in their hearts. They will just live up to the fate of this life."
When Duke Yan heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. After a while, he sighed in his heart:
This guy... is indeed a wonderful person!
"No wonder Zhongguo praises you in every way. I am very satisfied with this marriage, but Ning'er is still confused."
"She hopes to chat with you, are you willing?"
When Tan Hanchi heard this, he immediately dropped the last son, stood up and said, "This junior is asking for more."
Duke Yan nodded and shouted: "Old Xi, take him there."
Butler Xi quickly came forward to receive the person.
Duke Yan looked at Tan Hanchi's back with a lot of emotions in his heart, but more importantly, he felt relieved.
An Ning really has no regrets for getting such a husband.
Duke Yan chuckled, his eyes fell on the chessboard inadvertently, and he suddenly glared.
What? How did Heizi win?
Was that kid really serious about talking to me just now?
————
Tan Hanchi was led by Butler Xi through a long corridor. The sunshine outside the corridor was just right, which made people feel happy.
Soon, a loft came into view. Butler Xi stopped and said with a smile:
"Master Tan, my lady is inside, please come."
Tan Hanchi's heart beat slightly faster. He smiled and nodded to Butler Xi, then calmly smoothed his sleeves before stepping in.
The attic is very spacious, with a screen painted with landscapes in front of you. Sunlight shines in from the window, and a slender shadow is reflected on the screen.
Tan Hanchi's face felt a little hot. He walked three feet in front of the screen and stood still, saying warmly, "Miss Zuo."
The shadow on the screen was slightly startled, and then a soft voice came.
"Master Tan."
There was a moment of calm in the attic, and Tan Hanchi took the initiative and said:
"Miss Zuo, this time I asked for marriage from the Holy Father, but I didn't get your approval. I was too abrupt. Do you still have concerns in your heart?"
Zuo Anning stood behind the screen and vaguely saw a black silhouette. He had a gentle voice and was polite. He was an extremely rare gentleman.
Zuo Anning shook his head, realizing that Tan Hanchi couldn't see him, and hurriedly spoke:
"Mr. Tan, I do have concerns in my heart, but this problem is not Mr. Tan's fault, it is my own problem."
"I know that the decree of marriage has been issued, and some things are destined. However, Mr. Tan is so brilliant, and An Ning also wants to be honest with you, so that he can live up to your intention to marry me."
When Tan Hanchi heard that Zuo Anning had never rejected him, his heart finally fell.
He was really scared just now.
"Miss Zuo, please speak. I am all ears."
