"Wan'er! Wan'er!"
Tang Su walked quickly towards the pavilion on the other side of the lotus pond, along a path paved with bluestones. The flowers were blooming beside the path, and the scenery was unique, but he had no intention of admiring it.
Tang Ju followed behind, also looking like he was in a hurry, but he didn't say anything. He always felt that his elder brother was too anxious...a little embarrassed.
His wife, Mrs. Chen, should come forward to tell Tang Shuwan about this kind of thing.
In the pavilion.
After Tang Shuwan finished reciting the poem, she returned to the stone table, sat down, dipped her pen in ink, and wrote the two poems on rice paper.
The Four Treasures of the Study used are exactly the set of royal brushes and inks given by Su Xian.
Just as I put down my pen, shouts of "Wan'er" and "Wan'er" came from behind the huge rockery on the other side of Ouchi.
Tang Shuwan was startled and panicked. She subconsciously pulled out a blank rice paper, covered the rice paper with poems on it, and raised her eyes to look in the direction of the sound.
"Pfft!" Suddenly, a suppressed laughter came from behind.
"Minglan!" Tang Shuwan turned her head and gave the maid behind her a harmless look.
"..."
The maid named "Ming Lan" is Tang Shuwan's personal maid. She is sixteen years old and is at her most lively and active age. She usually likes to argue and tease her young lady.
Ignoring the maid behind her, Tang Shuwan looked at the two running people again.
It turned out to be dad and uncle...
She immediately stood up and walked out of the pavilion. Just as the two of them ran close to each other, Tang Shuwan bowed to each other and said:
"Daddy!"
"Uncle!"
"..."
"Well, good, very good!" Tang Su chuckled, looking at Tang Shuwan and nodding frequently, very satisfied with this niece.
When everyone came to the pavilion, Tang Su could tell at a glance that the four treasures of the study on the stone table were not simple. After a closer look, they turned out to be imperial supplies!
】
He was shocked.
As the eldest son of the Tang family, he had never enjoyed such a good thing.
The current head of the Tang family actually owns several sets of the Four Treasures of the Imperial Palace, which were given by the late emperor.
After the current queen ascended the throne, she suppressed the aristocratic families a lot, and they were never rewarded with such good things again.
But he didn't expect that in the distant Yingzhou, the Four Treasures of the Study used by his niece...
After all, Tang Shuwan was a little proud and said softly:
"Uncle, I don't know, but this set of Four Treasures of the Royal Study was a gift from Brother Su!"
"Brother Su Shi? Su Xian?" Tang Su was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, thinking that they had already given each other gifts.
"..."
Tang Shuwan was so smart. When she saw Tang Su's meaningful smile, she knew that he was thinking wrong, so she further explained:
"Brother Su Shi not only gave this set of Four Treasures of the Study as a gift, but also gave a set to dad..."
"Uh-huh, cough!" Before he finished speaking, Tang Ju suddenly coughed.
"..." Tang Su was startled. She glanced at Tang Shuwan and then at her thirteenth brother Tang Ju. She always felt that Tang Ju's cough just now had a special meaning.
Tang Shuwan's dark and bright eyes rolled slightly. She already understood her father's thoughts, so she pursed her lips slightly and smiled:
"In addition, Brother Su Shi also gave dad a set of ordinary cups, gave mom a golden Buddha, and gave Jing'er a golden dagger..."
"..."
When Tang Su heard this, he couldn't help but get excited and said to himself:
"Yes, it is indeed true! Nephew Su Xian is unparalleled in his talent and poetic talent. He also understands the ways of the world and knows how to use gifts to please Wan'er's mother and sisters..."
Now it seems that not only Wan'er has a secret admiration for Su Xian, but Su Xian also has some interest in Wan'er. Otherwise, why would he give gifts to Mrs. Chen and Tang Shujing?
This is an unexpected surprise!
After thinking for a while, Tang Su coughed, assumed the posture of an elder, and asked seemingly casually:
"Wan'er, what do you think of Su Xian?"
"Very good!" Tang Shuwan was slightly embarrassed, but she was a daughter of the Tang family who had been carefully trained by the Tang family. She was generous and said tactfully:
"Brother Su Shi is rich in knowledge, unparalleled in talent, and outstanding in poetry. He is one of the best young talents in the world!"
"good!"
Tang Su clapped his hands and shouted. Later, he felt that this was disrespectful to the dignity of his elders, so he immediately straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, and asked slowly with a smile:
"Then... how about my uncle acting as a matchmaker for you and betrothing you to Nephew Su Xian?"
"..."
Ga!
Ga!
The pavilion fell silent for a moment.
The frog in the lotus pond croaked twice, which was a bit embarrassing.
Tang Shuwan's plump and tender red lips, which were gently closed, couldn't help but crack slightly after hearing Tang Su's words. Snow-white teeth loomed, and she finally took a deep breath.
She seems calm on the surface. After all, she is a young lady carefully cultivated by a wealthy family. She has the temperament to keep her expression unchanged even if the mountain collapses.
But in fact, a huge wave had set off deep in her heart, drowning everything in an instant.
Betroth her to Brother Su Shi?
How sudden!
Before that, although she admired Su Xian quite a lot, she was grateful to Su Xian for helping Tang Ju solve his troubles and helping Tang Ju sit on the throne of Yingzhou governor.
So that their family would not return to the divine capital in despair and be laughed at by the tribe.
She also admired his talent, especially his poetic talent. Although Su Xian only published two poems, both of them were fine works and both were famous poems handed down from generation to generation.
For Tang Shuwan, who calls herself a talented woman, this shock to her heart is far greater and deeper than that of Tang Ju, Mrs. Chen, Tang Shujing and others!
She indeed admired Su Xian's talent and learning.
Coupled with the relationship of "brother", the legendary "one of the best young heroes in the world" has become within reach.
She has met Su Xian several times!
However, it is one thing to be in love with him in your heart, and it is another thing to betroth yourself to him.
She had never considered the latter.
Now that her uncle suddenly brought it up, she couldn't resist it for a moment.
As a daughter of the highest caliber trained by a wealthy family, she could keep her expression unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain, but that was just the end of it.
The other side.
Tang Ju had black lines all over his head.
He thought his elder brother would be more tactful.
But I didn't expect it to be so direct and straight to the point.
Tang Ju was very satisfied with this eldest daughter. To be honest, he really couldn't bear to marry her off. Otherwise, if there was only Tang Shujing left in the family, he would be angry to death?
Can……
The situation of the aristocratic family is more complicated.
The tradition that men marry when they are young and women marry when they are young has been thoroughly implemented in the family.
Daughters from aristocratic families must get married when they reach the age, and they cannot choose who to marry. They must obey the orders of their father or the family.
The tradition of parents' orders and matchmaker's advice has also been thoroughly implemented in the family.
More than ten years ago, several aristocratic families married each other, and the daughters who got married actually lived well.
Later, the aristocratic family failed, and marrying off a daughter gradually turned into a scandal of "collecting high betrothal gifts to make money."
Most of the girls from aristocratic families who get married in this way have a bad life for the rest of their lives, and they often die early...
