"That Qilin talented man... Nephew Su Xian, should have completely broken with the Su family. This is a great thing for our Tang family. He can be well won over, and it will be of great benefit to our Tang family in the future!"
Tang Ju smiled and said: "To be honest with you, brother Yu, the governor of Yingzhou is actually a gift from nephew Su Xian!"
Tang Su was full of curiosity and asked: "What's the reason?"
Tang Ju: "..."
…
The two brothers continued walking along the cobblestone path while chatting.
After walking through a huge rockery, Tang Su suddenly asked: "By the way, Thirteenth Brother, you know Nephew Su Xian better. He should be an adult, right? Has he ever been married?"
Tang Ju said: "As far as I know, nephew Su Xian is not married yet."
Tang Su clapped his hands and said, "That's good. Our Tang family still has several daughters who have not been betrothed to betrothed, and their appearance and character are all excellent..."
"...
Before they could say anything, the two brothers who were walking suddenly heard a crisp and sweet sound of the guqin coming from behind the rockery in front!
The beautiful sound of the piano made the two brothers pause and listen carefully for a while. Tang Su asked: "This is "Feng Qiu Huang", who plays it?"
Tang Ju said: "It should be Wan'er, let's go over and have a look."
The two walked to the huge rockery in front of them, followed the direction of the sound of the piano, and took a look -
It turns out that behind the rockery is a medium-sized lotus root pond. The water in the pond is crystal clear, the lotus leaves are green, the lotus flowers are red, and frogs and dragonflies are playing in the pond...
On the other side of the lotus pond, there is an exquisite pavilion. On the stone table in the pavilion is a guqin, and a gentle woman is sitting there, gently stroking the strings.
That's Tang Shuwan!
She had a beautiful appearance, was elegant and pleasant, and had an outstanding temperament. She was wearing a light green dress, and her hands in the long sleeves were stroking the strings very elegantly. She was intoxicated and closed her eyes.
She seemed to be integrated with the surrounding scenery. Several pink butterflies fluttered their wings and stayed on the golden steps on her waterfall of blue silk, just like the decorative texture on jewelry.
This scene is picturesque.
The clanking sound of the piano is also extremely subtle.
Behind the huge rockery, Tang Ju and Tang Su were immersed in the beautiful artistic conception of the music. Nian Xu closed his eyes and listened, gently shaking his head to the tune of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"...
At the end of the song, the two brothers opened their eyes and looked at each other. Tang Su laughed softly:
"In the blink of an eye, we haven't seen each other for many years, and Wan'er has grown so big... If my brother's calculation is correct, Wan'er is already seventeen this year, right?"
"Not bad!" Tang Ju nodded. He was very satisfied with this eldest daughter. This was his pride.
"I'm seventeen, well, it's time to get married!" Tang Su continued.
"Marry..." Tang Ju was speechless for a moment, and the smile on his face slowly stiffened.
"Why, Thirteenth Brother, do you still want to force Wan'er to stay? Even if you agree to it for your brother, the family will not agree... As the saying goes, if a girl doesn't stay, she will get married sooner or later!"
"Brother is right." Tang Ju bowed hurriedly and said.
"..."
At this time, the piano music of "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" stopped completely, and the voice of Tang Shuwan reciting poetry came from the other side of Ouchi Pond.
Brothers Tang Ju and Tang Su immediately pricked up their ears and listened:
"Plum snow contends for spring but refuses to fall,"
"The poet spends money on writing and commenting."
"Meixun snow is three cents white,"
"Snow is less fragrant than plum blossoms."
"..."
Behind the rockery, Tang Su's face flushed with excitement, and he whispered: "What a poetic talent! What a poetic talent! I never thought that Wan'er has such a poetic talent, she should be the number one in my Tang family!"
Tang Ju felt slightly uncomfortable, coughed and corrected: "Brother, I misunderstood. Although Wan'er has poetic talent, this poem was not written by Wan'er."
"Who did that?"
Tang Ju was about to reply when Tang Shuwan's gentle and ethereal voice came from the other side of Ouchi. Tang Su immediately stopped Tang Ju and only heard the other side read:
"The clouds are like clothes, the flowers are like faces, the spring breeze is blowing on the threshold, and the dew is thick."
"If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai."
"..."
After listening to this poem, Tang Su almost danced with joy. He quickly turned around and asked Tang Ju who wrote this poem.
Tang Ju was so free that he smiled and said:
"Both these two poems were written by nephew Su Xian!"
"It was created by Nephew Su Xian... No wonder, no wonder! Nephew Su Xian is indeed worthy of the name of Qilin Talent!"
"..."
Tang Su shook his head and sighed, and suddenly glanced at Tang Ju, with the same look in his eyes that hated iron.
Tang Ju was confused and asked his elder brother what was going on?
Tang Su was furious and asked:
"What's wrong? Thirteenth brother, as a father, have you not even considered Wan'er's life-long events?"
"Brother... why does this... get involved in Wan'er's life-long event again?"
"Eh..." Tang Su gently patted Tang Ju's shoulder and said sincerely:
"Thirteenth brother! Think about it carefully, what is the name of the song Wan'er just played?"
""Feng Qiu Huang"!"
"Who composed the poem Wan'er just recited?"
"Nephew Su Xian!" Tang Ju said matter-of-factly, and then his expression changed drastically. He first looked at the gentle Tang Shuwan in shock, and then looked at Tang Su:
"Brother, you mean..."
"Not bad! I'm afraid our Wan'er has already fallen in love with Nephew Su Xian! Hahahaha..." Tang Su smiled happily, then looked at Tang Shuwan on the other side of Ouchi Pond and said:
"Nephew Su Xian is unparalleled in talent, and our Wan'er is as beautiful as a flower. Do you think this is a talented man and a beautiful woman? Is this a match made in heaven?"
"..."
At this time, Tang Ju suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said:
"Foolish brother is stupid. Foolish brother is stupid. I should have seen this a long time ago..."
"What's the meaning?"
Immediately, Tang Ju told the story of "Tang Shuwan was suddenly not considerate" and "protected Su Xian at all times".
After finishing speaking, he shook his head again and said:
"It's strange. When did Wan'er fall in love with Nephew Su Xian? Why doesn't Brother Yu feel anything at all? They have only met a few times in total! Isn't this feeling so strange?"
Tang Su chuckled and said:
"Thirteenth brother, although you are already old, you should always be young, right? Don't you see enough of love at first sight, love at first sight, and secret promises?"
"Furthermore, if Nephew Su Xian can win over the East Palace, Prison Department, Liu Family, Lin Family, and Princess Lanling at the same time, he must be an extraordinary person, and he can also write good poems... Such a person will not be liked by the ladies in his boudoir. Weird!"
"If Brother Wei's daughters hadn't already been married, Brother Wei would definitely recruit Nephew Su Xian as his son-in-law!"
"Thirteenth brother, Nephew Su Xian calls you uncle. This is an opportunity. Don't miss it... You must know that both the Liu family and the Lin family have prepared several legitimate daughters for Nephew Su Xian to choose from... …”
"..."
Tang Ju was stunned and suddenly said: "That's right, that's right. It's my foolish brother who got into trouble."
Tang Sudao: "Thirteenth brother, Su Xian's nephew is not married yet, and our Wan'er is attracted to him. They are a perfect match! Hurry and prepare for this."
Seeing Tang Ju's hesitation, Tang Su said again:
"As the saying goes, it is easy to find a priceless treasure, but it is rare to find a lover. Nephew Su Xian knows everything about it. Are you still afraid that Wan'er will be bullied if you marry her? If Wan'er is betrothed to..."
Before he finished speaking, Tang Ju shuddered and said hurriedly: "Eldest brother is more thoughtful. Nephew Su Xian is indeed the best candidate. Wan'er can feel at ease by marrying his stupid brother."
"Well, that's right. It's time for boys to get married and girls to get married. It's time for Thirteenth Brother to go and talk to Wan'er about this matter quickly so that she can be mentally prepared." Tang Su said.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"But...that..." Tang Ju couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Hey, Thirteenth Brother, Brother Wei is too lazy to talk to you! Forget it, Brother Wei is her uncle, so let Brother Wei do the talking."
After saying this, Tang Su strode towards the pavilion on the other side of the lotus pond.
