Unknowingly, the time is approaching the end of the year.
Li Zhijie had already returned to Yangzhou. He had sent a family member from his hometown to pick up Li Sikui. Unexpectedly, Li Sikui arrived in Hailing. Now he has completely let himself go and is ready to continue to immerse himself in Xu He's happy education philosophy.
As a general judge, Li Zhijie was very busy with his daily official duties. He had no time to take care of his son, and his son refused to go back. He was not in a hurry. He was eager to let his son have more contact with Xu He.
However, at the end of the year, Li Zhijie's wife was escorted by her family from Zhejiang to Yangzhou. She missed her son very much. There was no other way, so Li Zhijie had no choice but to write to Xu He and ask him to send Li Sikui back.
It was time for Xu He to take leave from the government school. Previously, because Chen Hua and Xu Song were worried about him being retaliated by Wenxiang Cult, they took the initiative to help him take leave from the government school.
Now that the New Year's exam is approaching, there has been no movement from Wenxiang Cult for a long time. Xu He has no reason to stay at home anymore, so he has to pack his bags for the past two days and prepare to go to school to take the holiday for the New Year's exam.
While he was packing his luggage at home, Wu Decao said that a visitor was coming.
Xu He asked: "Brother Yaochen, did the other party say who he is?"
Wu Decao thought for a while and replied: "One is less than fifty, he is very impressive, and there is a young master who seems to have a good background. When I asked him where he was, he said he was your old friend!"
"Old friend?" Xu He has many old friends, who kind of immortal is this?
When he arrived at the front yard, he found that the visitors were Wang Liangchen and Shen Wan.
He hurriedly entered the main room, bowed down and said, "I don't know that when the great master comes to visit his humble residence, the students are not welcome at a distance."
Wu Decao on the side was stunned, Grand Master?
This is the new Tixue Dao Wang Liangchen who has just taken office.
He quickly followed Xu He and bowed down.
Wang Liangchen laughed, stood up, helped Xu He and said, "You don't have to be polite when speaking loudly. In a private house, just be more casual!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Wan rushed forward and took Xu He's forearm and smiled: "I heard that my uncle was coming to Hailing. I specifically begged my mother so that I could accompany him and see him in full force!"
Xu He felt very uncomfortable with his intimate look, and then when he had the chance to salute, he quietly pulled his arm out of Shen Wan's hand.
"It turns out to be Brother Shi Yu, long time no see!"
After everyone saluted, Xu He didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, so he turned to Wu Decao and said deliberately: "Brother Yaochen, help me go to Fenghuang Dun and tell the second master that the great master is here and ask him to accompany you at noon!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Decao bowed and saluted Wang Liangchen, then turned and went out.
When Xu He saw this, he became even more confused. What he just said was actually to test whether Wang Liangchen and Shen Wan came to see him specially.
If he was looking for him specifically and he asked Wu Decao to invite Xu Dai, Wang Liangchen would definitely stop him.
But now Wang Liangchen was sitting upright, stroking his beard, with no intention of stopping him, which made Xu He scratch his head.
"Since I'm going to invite Mr. Taiqiu in a loud voice, it's a good idea to save me an extra trip!" Wang Liangchen said with a smile in his eyes.
When Xu He saw him, he didn't tell him why he was here. He just talked to him about some academic matters. He rambled on without focusing on the point, and he felt even more uneasy.
Here he dealt with it carefully, but over there Xu Dai got the letter and hurriedly took a sedan chair to Shisheng Street.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Dai held up his hands and said with a smile: "It turns out to be your neighbor brother. Why don't you go directly to Fenghuang Dun? Instead, you come to a junior's house!"
Look, it’s different from the past.
When Yang Yinqiu came last time, the Xu family only had one serving minister, and Xu Dai was careful to accompany him everywhere for fear of offending him.
Now that Wang Liangchen, the newly appointed scholar, has returned, Xu Song is already a cabinet minister. As his biological brother, Xu Dai was polite when he saw Wang Liangchen, but he was no longer as groveling as before.
When Wang Liangchen saw Xu Dai, he stood up with a smile and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Taiqiu, when Xiao Shigong entered the pavilion, I couldn't congratulate you because I was in Linfu County, so I prepared a small gift. Did you receive it?"
Xu Dai has also been practicing recently and has become a lot more mature in his dealings with others. He quickly shook his head and said: "My brother even scolded me in the letter, saying that your neighbor is honest and self-restrained. How can I accept his gift? The letter ordered me to return it. I said this is your neighbor’s intention, and it’s hard to brush it away, so I can only accept it with a shy face!”
This sentence not only praised Wang Liangchen, but also made the matter of receiving gifts a trivial matter. Xu He was really impressed by this second uncle.
Sure enough, Wang Liangchen sighed: "The Xu family has such a good tradition, no wonder His Majesty has such faith in Little Shigong!"
The two chatted for a while, and then Xu Dai brought the topic back and said, "I wonder why your neighbor brother came to Hailing this time? Is there anyone who needs help from our Xu family?"
When Wang Liangchen heard this, he picked up the teacup and looked at Xu He, then took a sip, and then smiled and said: "Of course it's a good thing!"
"oh?"
Wang Liangchen smiled and said: "To be honest, I'm here to act as a matchmaker for my brother-in-law's family."
When Xu Dai heard this, he didn't think much about it. He smiled and said to Shen Wan, "Is it the marriage of the third young master? I wonder which girl from Hailing family your neighbor is interested in?"
When Shen Wan heard this, she quickly waved her hands and said, "It's not me, it's my eldest sister who has taken a liking to Liangsheng Xiandi!"
When Xu Dai heard this, he looked at Xu He in shock: "Bright sound... this is..."
Xu He also looked confused and waved his hands repeatedly: "I don't know!"
Wang Liangchen saw that his nephew was more successful than he was, so he glared at Shen Wan fiercely, and then he coughed in embarrassment and said: "Mr. Taiqiu, this junior is talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously. However, I am indeed sect by my sister. My brother-in-law asked me to come to the Xu family to propose marriage!"
"Is it a bright sound?" Xu Dai asked tentatively!
Wang Liangchen nodded: "Exactly, my sister has a daughter who is as old as Liangsheng. Last time Liangsheng went to Songjiang to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday, my brother-in-law fell in love with Liangsheng at a glance and wanted to recruit her as his son-in-law. , No, you have written to me several times and told me that due to my busy schedule, I only have time to visit you today!"
When Xu Dai heard that the Shen family wanted to recruit Xu He as his son-in-law, he was immediately overjoyed.
That's the Shen family, with two generations of elders, disciples and former officials all over the world, not to mention a prominent family in the southeast, with a fortune of tens of millions. If people knew that there was a girl in the family who had not yet left the family, I don't know how many people would be asking for help. Marry.
He subconsciously wanted to help Xu He make the decision and nodded in agreement.
Just as he was about to speak, his heart suddenly sank. Xu He was not like any other junior in the family.
My second uncle probably has to listen to him, so how can I help him make the decision?
Besides, I had wanted to give the Feng family's daughter to Xu He before, but this matter...
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Xu He.
I saw Xu He's face was light and there was no expression on it.
Seeing this, Xu Dai coughed twice and said: "Brother neighbor, I can't make the decision on Liangsheng..."
Wang Liangchen smiled slightly. He didn't know the weight of what the second master of the Xu family said in the Xu family. The reason why he said this in front of him was because he had asked someone to inquire about it.
Xu He's father died young and he only had a widowed mother. He also wanted to find an elder from Xu's family to witness the important event of the wedding. How could he finalize it with the parties involved? This was not in line with the rules and regulations.
But in his opinion, the only person who can decide this matter in the end, besides Xiao Shigong, is the young man himself!
For a moment, everyone looked at Xu He!
