"Look, the slave family said that the two of them will get along very well."
Mrs. Zhen looked at the handsome man and woman behind her, who seemed to be having a great conversation with each other. She was so pleased with them, and smiled at Xie Xun, who was also looking back.
"Huanhan's temperament is just a little too serious and old-fashioned." Xie Xun sighed. If this were done to a man, it would not be an errand.
"Old-fashioned and serious? This slave is very familiar. Isn't that what Tanlang is like? Mr. Xie, the slave has told you that since he was a child, he has always been beaten because of his temperament... Teaching him earnestly will tire the slave..."
Mrs. Zhen began to exchange "parenting experiences" with Xie Xun. The latter was stunned. He was a great scholar who thought about state affairs, family affairs, and academy affairs every day. He never expected that one day he would talk to a woman about this kind of thing. The parents are short-sighted, but they are also novel.
Xie Xun smiled.
Mrs. Zhen began to slowly unfold her map of the Yan Kingdom again.
"No wonder the daughter-in-law said that her one wish is to meet my Tanlang. The two of them are indeed similar in personality. They are both great gentlemen. Isn't this just sympathy for each other? There will definitely be a lot of topics to talk about together in private. I believe they will become close friends soon. of."
A certain aunt had forgotten that a few days ago she was scolding her nephew for being a gentleman and being pedantic and useless.
"Probably. But not only did Hanhan admire Lianghan a lot in the past, but many of the younger juniors in the academy wanted to meet Lianghan. This is the role model that senior brother should set." Xie Xun nodded.
The admiration of the junior fellow students in the academy? This is of no use, it can’t compare to one trillionth of the favorability of this noble female junior sister of the Xie family. Mrs. Zhen nodded with a smile on her face, feeling very disgusted in her heart.
She thought for a while and said calmly: "Although I am a woman, I have long admired the Xie family in Jiangzuo, and I have heard that... Jiangzuo's noble family is a distinguished figure?"
Xie Xun waved his hand, "It's just false praise from outsiders, don't dare to take it seriously."
Zhen asked: "Sir, do you think our Tan Lang is a character?"
"Lianghan is certainly one of the top young talents in the academy."
"That's good, that's good."
It seemed a little strange why his disciple's aunt was talking to him about this. He thought for a while and said, "Madam, please don't belittle yourself. Lianghan is only twenty years old and is already a county magistrate. He is indeed one of the best among people. Many are better than him." I am a fellow Jinshi who is still in Luoyang, hesitating and living in debauchery."
But the bad guys are already married and have children, and the best among men are still singles... The woman has long been dissatisfied with this. So he stopped testing and spoke directly:
"To tell you the truth, Sir, when the Nu family saw the daughter, they really liked her. She is well-educated and sensible, and she looks like she stepped out of a fairy painting... I wonder... is Huan Huan engaged?"
The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen.
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Mrs. Zhen. He did not speak immediately. He seemed to have thought for a moment before slowly saying:
"Not yet. In the past, her mother-in-law had a member of the Cui family who wanted to propose marriage, but her mother-in-law refused on her behalf. Later, she was busy with her studies..." He paused, looked at the gray sky, and nodded. road:
"I won't bother Madam today. I'm a little tired from the journey. Huanhan and I will go back to rest first. If Madam has time tomorrow morning, come over with Lianghan. Let's go have breakfast at Donglin Temple. Then... again... chat."
Zhen was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "Of course I have time. Tan Lang really wants to spend more time with Mr. Don't tell the Nu family that Mr. Xie and Huan Huan are here to save you...
"It's okay, sir. Go back and have a good rest. Let's talk tomorrow."
Xie Xun smiled.
…
"Auntie, what are you laughing at?"
"Did I laugh?"
"He said he wasn't smiling yet his face was bursting with smiles."
"Whether you're looking for a fight or not, Auntie laughs, you don't care now."
"I just think it's up to something bad."
"?"
Ouyang Rong and Zhen Shi sent the Xie family back to an elegant layman's courtyard on the west side of Donglin Temple. The Xie family was from a wealthy family and had an exclusive courtyard in Donglin Temple that was reserved all year round.
On the way back to Sanhuiyuan, Ouyang Rong saw Mrs. Zhen laughing from time to time and was a little speechless.
"Auntie, what did you just say to the teacher in front?"
"Don't ask about adults' affairs. What are you and Huanhua talking about behind the scenes?"
"Huanwen? Why do you, an outsider, call people by their nicknames? To try to get close to them. Also, you should stop asking about juniors' affairs."
"Hey, I said you kid is asking for a beating..."
Ouyang Rong folded his hands, twisted his waist, and avoided the slap.
After a while, he turned around and said with a suspicious look on his face: "You shouldn't have mentioned that to the teacher, right?"
"Auntie can't understand what you said."
The more Ouyang Rong thought about it, the more he thought it was, especially when he saw the woman in the skirt curling up her mole-covered lips, "You...how do you want me to see the teacher in the future?"
He took a deep breath.
"How do we meet? Now that I'm my father-in-law, I'll see you every day. Just wait, I'll get an answer tomorrow, I guess it can happen!"
Zhen smiled and poked a certain elm head with her red cardamom-smeared index finger, "So, I still have to take action. You young people now are thin-skinned and keep it to yourself even if you like it. Opportunities must be earned. There is no shop after passing this village. If your family hadn't seized the opportunity to talk about matchmaking, how could you have such a gentle and caring aunt like me? There would be no way."
"Why do you think my nephew...this should be taken as a warning."
Mrs. Zhen frowned and looked at Ouyang Rong: "Why do you think Tan Lang has become more talkative recently?"
"The one who is close to vermilion is red, the one who is close to ink is black."
Zhen: "..." Cursing in a roundabout way?
Ouyang Rong suddenly calmed down, no longer seemed angry at Zhen for taking matters into his own hands, and silently faced the road ahead.
"Why are you keeping such a straight face? Auntie is surprised. How good the conditions are in Huanwan, especially... how rich the cafeteria for the grandnephews will be in the future. Don't you men like this anymore? I'm surprised. Zai."
"There is also personality. Auntie tells you that this kind of old-fashioned and serious woman is the treasure. She is innocent and conservative. On the surface, she has a boring personality and is difficult to get close to. But once she wins her heart or decides to be with you, That is the infatuated wife who is devoted and devoted to you. She is devoted to you and can't drive her away... She is also a virtuous and courteous woman who manages the family and has a prosperous husband and loving children. I heard she is a talented woman. Then her children in the future will definitely be smart, and there is no need to worry about nutrition. , the twins are fine..."
"Auntie." Ouyang Rong interrupted.
"what."
Ouyang Rong shook his head gently, "You underestimate my junior sister too much. She doesn't like anyone."
What's more, he didn't fit her image of a gentleman when they first met... Ouyang Rongxin smiled.
Mrs. Zhen waved her hands, not caring, "The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words are what Mr. Xie says. Whatever the little girl wants, your teacher will be satisfied."
Ouyang Rong did not explain the rumor that he had accidentally heard about the young junior sister's recitation of poems, refusing to marry and humiliating Cui Shilang. He just stopped mentioning it and turned around to say:
"Auntie will go back to prepare in the evening and send the teacher to Penglangdu tomorrow morning. We will just go down the mountain and move back to the county government office."
The purpose of waiting at Donglin Temple was accomplished, and Zhen no longer dragged Ouyang Rong around. She nodded in agreement, but she still kept chattering.
"Tan Lang, don't worry this time. This noble lady of the Xie family will definitely be able to deal with her. Auntie will keep you in check. She will never end up like the time before, raising a white-eyed wolf that cannot be fed well."
Ouyang Rong, who was about to run away, was stunned.
"What white-eyed wolf?"
"It's the child bride your mother-in-law picked for you from her natal family when you were a child."
"Is there still this matter?"
"Have you forgotten? When you were a child, you were frail and sick, and often fell into coma in bed. We raised a child bride for you to look after you by your bedside, and she also embroidered women's red. The results were good. Every time your mother-in-law and I came into the house to see you, you always looked after you. It was a pinprick on the arm, and it was bloody! The house was also in a mess."
Even after many years, Mrs. Zhen still raised her eyebrows more and more, "This ungrateful white-eyed wolf was originally a mute orphan adopted from your mother-in-law's Zhao family. At first, she seemed quite quiet and obedient. Thinking I was just a playmate for you, but I didn’t expect that while we were away, we actually did such a sinister thing of murdering my young husband.”
Ouyang Rong thought for a moment and seemed to have some vague impression. When he was a child, he was often woken up by the pain of needle pricks. Then in his memory, Aniang and Mrs. Zhen seemed to often get angry at a thin little girl, beating and scolding her. That weak girl The figure has been huddled in the corner, holding her head and sobbing "Ah...ah...ah".
"What happened next?" he was curious.
"Of course she sold it later. Originally, I wanted to ask the clan elders to stuff her into a pig cage, but a wandering Taoist priest came to take her away, so your mother-in-law sold it directly and made a lot of money. I don't know what she will do in the future. Which family is so unlucky to adopt this little white-eyed wolf?"
Zhen shook her head, "It's because of this that I found out. Some children are really born bad."
Ouyang Rong thought for a while and muttered in agreement: "Well, maybe it's some kind of antisocial personality..."
Afterwards, after taking a look at the sky, Ouyang Rong separated from Zhen and prepared to visit Ah Shan and Ah Qing's family again. Suddenly, he heard several dull wooden fish sounds of "dong dong dong" coming from his ears.
Like a beating heart, ten sounds in total, ten points deducted.
Someone was stunned and looked around at the empty temple with a surprised look on his face.
"Where are my merits?" He was numb.
…
