Although Xu Luan is a master with eyes on the top of his head, he is not that kind of reckless man. He was ridiculed by Xie Liangcai. What a joke!"
"you!"
Xie Liangcai wanted to say a few more words, but at this time Xu Dai smiled and said: "Luan'er, don't be rude!"
After speaking, he glared at his son.
Amazingly, after the arrogant Xu Luan was glared at by his father, he actually raised his hands and apologized to Xie Liangcai: "This scholar, it was me, Meng Lang, just now!"
Although he was apologizing, there was no intention of apologizing at all on his face. Because Xie Liangcai was at Xu He's house, he didn't want to make it difficult for Xu He, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope and snorted to reveal the matter.
In Xu He's memory, Xu Dai and his son had never been to his home. Before the county examination, it was hard to say whether the father and son even knew that there was someone like him in the Xu family.
Xu He was a little surprised when he came to visit today.
"Second uncle came to visit today. Is there something wrong?" Xu He asked tentatively.
Xu Dai grabbed the bowl of sour wine brewed in the village and shook it. After all, he still didn't have the courage to pick it up and take a sip. After he put down the bowl, he smiled and said: "Xiao He, my second uncle came to your house specially today to tell you. A great joy for you!"
When Xu He heard the words "big happy event", Xu He's heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be...
Sure enough, the next second Xu Dai smiled and said, "Do you still remember Uncle Feng when we were at Huibin Building last time?"
When Xu He heard about Fengfang, he knew what medicine the father and son were going to sell today!
Xu Dai laughed loudly: "To be honest, your Uncle Feng is actually a family friend of our Xu family. The Feng family's poetry and etiquette are passed down to the family, and your Uncle Feng himself was also a Jinshi. He once served as an official in the court, although he later returned to his hometown to observe filial piety. , but he will return to Beijing to make a comeback in the near future!"
Xu He didn't want to make such a big detour and asked directly: "Second uncle, what do you want to say?"
Xu Dai was interrupted by Xu He. He was unhappy in his heart, but still forced a smile on his face and said: "I want to secure a matchmaker so that you, a good son of the Xu family, can get married to Miss Feng's family!"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Lao Zhang, Master Xie and Xie Liangcai suddenly lit up.
The old commander even kicked Xu He in the leg under the table and urged: "Why don't you thank your second uncle!"
Xu He felt really frustrated at this time.
If Xie Kun hadn't told him the situation of the Feng family, Xu Dai might have been deceived today.
The Xu family and the Feng family have an agreement to become in-laws, but it is your Xu Dai's son Xu Luan.
Okay! You knew that Fengfang had a bad reputation in Shilin, and you wanted to get rid of your son, so you sold your nephew off?
Xu Dai looked at Xu He with a smile and saw that he was indifferent. He thought Xu He was hit on the head by this [good thing] and was so happy that he could not speak.
Xu Luan, who was next to Xie Liangcai, had a disdainful smile on his face: "Let you people be happy, there will be days when Xu He wants to cry! Haha!"
"Xiaohe, you kid, you have such a wonderful marriage, why don't you get up and offer your second uncle a glass of wine?" Seeing that Xu He was still motionless, Lao Jia Chang urged again.
Master Xie also said at the side: "Xu He, according to the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker, since your father has passed away and the elders in the family have seen that you have worked hard and found a good match for you, you have to thank your second uncle." !”
Xu He sneered in his heart, but his face showed gratitude and said: "Thank you, second uncle, for organizing the marriage arrangement for your nephew!"
Xu Dai, Xu Luan and his son seemed to be relieved at the same time when they heard this.
Xu Dai smiled and said: "We are all of the same race. You study hard and work hard. You will be a seed of learning in the future. Of course I will think of you first for such a good thing!"
Seeing the hypocrisy on his face, Xu He felt a little nauseous. He rolled his eyes and said, "My nephew will always remember the kindness of my second uncle. But my nephew is still young. He wants to concentrate on his career in the past few years." , so I have no plans to get married for the time being!"
"Huh?" Xu Dai looked at Xu He in surprise when he heard this.
Xu He didn't look at his face at all, but looked at Xu Luan and said: "For such a good marriage, I, Xu He, am so virtuous and capable. But Brother Luan is older than me and is at the age of marriage. My second uncle still told Uncle Feng, please Uncle Feng, please marry your daughter to my brother Luan!"
"Pfft..." Xu Luan spit out a mouthful of wine when he heard this, and the water mist spread all over the table. Xie Liangcai looked at the people around him with disgust, not to mention how disgusted he was.
Xu Dai was stunned when he saw this, and then he smiled awkwardly and said: "Xiaohe, haha, that's it. I've already mentioned you to your Uncle Feng, and your Uncle Feng is quite satisfied with you."
"If you do this and make me regret it again, this..."
Master Xie nodded and said seriously: "Xu He, you have no faith and don't know what you are capable of. What you said is inappropriate!"
This old master, your student is about to be sold, and you are still helping to count the money!
When Xu Dai saw Master Xie speaking for him, he hurriedly struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Don't worry, Xiaohe, your Uncle Feng has also considered it for you, and we will talk about marriage after you pass the student examination!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhang was worried for Xu He!
Without delaying his studies, he could still marry a young lady from an official family. This was a match made in heaven!
At this time, Xu Dai coughed twice and said with some difficulty: "Of course, the Feng family is a big family, and there are still conditions for getting married!"
"The other party wants you to marry him!"
After Xu Dai finished speaking, everyone present was stunned.
"What?"
"What?"
"Bring-in-law?"
"absurd!"
Xu He was so angry that he laughed. Although he was open-minded, he felt that he had the ability to eat soft food.
But that’s also time-sharing.
Although the law of the Wei Dynasty did not discriminate against a son-in-law, it stipulated that "anyone who recruits a son-in-law must have a matchmaker, a marriage contract, and a specified number of years for retirement or retirement."
But being a son-in-law is not a glorious thing and is still discriminated against.
His status among the people is almost comparable to that of criminals.
Are there any exceptions?
Yes, it is said that Qian Yide, the current Minister of Rites in Nanjing, was his son-in-law in his early years. Later, he studied hard and finally brought glory to his ancestors.
But this is an exception after all. Everyone originally thought that the second master of the Xu family was doing Xu He's good, but now it seems that he is harboring evil intentions!
Xu He has no expectations in his heart, so he is not disappointed now.
He is much more open-minded than Lao Zhang, Xie Fuzi and others.
I saw him smile slightly: "Thank you for your kindness, second uncle. I still think Brother Luan is more suitable to be this son-in-law than me!"
"You!" Xu Dai couldn't believe his ears. Xu He actually said that his son was more suitable to be a son-in-law!
As for his son Xu Luan, his face was livid with anger.
At this time, he finally tore off the polite and gentle mask on his face, stared at Xu He with an angry look and said: "Who are you? You are just a little eldest son. My father has deigned to come to your shabby house to tell you this." It's just a reward for you, do you understand?"
"Otherwise, why do you think such a good thing should happen to you, a poor guy?"
"Refuse? Do you have a right to refuse here?"
Looking at his hysterical son, Xu Dai coughed coldly and interrupted: "Xu He, let me ask you again, do you listen to the clan's arrangements?"
Good guy, this is using the clan to suppress Xu He.
But just when Xu He was about to speak, Xie Liangcai suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "Xiaohe, don't listen to his nonsense, let alone a son-in-law from a Jinshi family, even if he is a prince-in-law, you are not allowed to do it!"
Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way, and Xu Luan was furious. He pointed at Xie Liangcai and cursed: "Who are you? How can you comment on the affairs of our Xu family?"
Master Xie hurriedly said: "This is my clan brother!"
Xie Liangcai sneered: "Me? My surname is Xie and my given name is Defu. My father keeps it secret!"
When Xu Dai heard this name, he didn't care at first, but then his expression changed drastically and he looked at Xie Liangcai: "Xie Daozhi? Is it Duke Xie, the minister of Dali Temple?"
