With the departure of the guests, only Shi Shan and Zuo Shuang were left in the living room.

Shi Shan and Tang Bin set out to say goodbye to Zuo Shuang before, and then Zuo Shuang asked him to stay, he just stood in place, Zuo Shuang didn't say anything to let him sit down, but looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Sit down, I remember you said you're about to turn seventeen?" asked Zuo Shuang with a little confusion after a while.

Hearing this, Shi Shan nodded slightly, "Yes, my lord, I will turn seventeen years old." ”

"Hmm~", Zuo Shuang groaned, "You shouldn't be married at this age, right?"

"Never married. ”

"That's good. Zuo Shuang said, shouting, and then the housekeeper Liu Zhuang hurried to the living room.

"Liu Zhuang, go and invite Mrs. and Xiushu. Zuo Shuang said loudly.

"It's my lord. Liu Zhuang immediately turned around and entered the inner mansion, but there was confusion on his face, not understanding why Zhenzun Zuoshuang would ask him to invite Zhenzun's wife and Zhenzun's daughter Zuo Xiushu.

Not long after, a wealthy woman wearing a golden hairpin pulled a woman in an openwork silk robe, followed Liu Zhuang, and came to the living room.

"My lord, Madame and Madame have arrived. Liu Zhuang came to Zuo Shuang and said respectfully.

"Okay, you go down. Zuo Shuang said, and then looked at the rich woman gently, "Madam, Xiushu, come and let me introduce someone to you." ”

Zuo Shuang said, got up from his seat, and walked in front of Shi Shan. Seeing Zuo Shuang coming, Shi Shan hurriedly stood up from his seat.

Mrs. Zhenzun frowned and glanced at Shi Shan, who was pale, and felt that this young man looked very weak, but under the expectation of Zuo Shuang's eyes, she still walked over with Zuo Xiushu.

"Madam, Xiushu, this is a young man from Shangyang Town, Shishan, who is about to turn seventeen, talented, writes well, and writes poems of the highest quality. Zuo Shuang was satisfied to introduce Shishan to Mrs. and Zuo Xiushu.

"I've seen Madame, I've seen Mademoiselle. ”

Zuo Xiushu, who was standing behind Mrs. Zhenzun, was looking at Shi Shan with a curious expression at this time, this was the first time his father had introduced her to a strange man.

"Shishan, this is my wife Tao Chengfen, and this is my daughter Zuo Xiushu. Xiushu has just turned fifteen, and you are all young people, so you can communicate more in the future. Zuo Shuang said with a smile, his eyes wandering back and forth between Shishan and Zuo Xiushu.

At this time, Shi Shan took a closer look at Zuo Xiushu, and saw that Zuo Xiushu was not very tall, with a round face, fair skin with a little red, a pair of eyes that were extremely bright, long eyelashes, blinking and blinking, very good-looking.

"Shishan, our family has not been in Shangyang Town for a long time, we are not familiar with the place, and Xiushu has no friends, you are all young people, you can have more contacts in the future, and let Xiushu have a companion. Although Tao Chengfen didn't like Shi Shan, who had a somewhat sick face, out of politeness, he still said something considerate to not embarrass Zuo Shuang and Shi Shan.

"Shishan, you can come to the town government at any time in the future, I brought a lot of books from Beixuancheng, if you fancy any books, you can read them at any time, or you can take them home to read. I want to read more of these books, it will be beneficial for you to conduct future scientific research, and if you encounter doubts in the books, we can also discuss them together. Zuo Quan said.

"Oh~, Shishan, are you preparing for a scientific expedition?" Hearing the word scientific expedition, Tao Chengfen's eyes lit up slightly.

"Shi Shan just participated in this year's scientific examination, unfortunately failed, but he passed the government examination at such a young age and obtained the qualification of a child, and he can participate in every examination in the future. I believe that with Shishan's qualifications, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to win the title of the gold list. Zuo Shuang said categorically.

Hearing that Shi Shan had already participated in the scientific examination, Tao Chengfen's eyes were full of light, no wonder her husband would introduce her daughter to know her, and she could pass the government examination to participate in the scientific examination, in Shangyang Town, this Shi Shan is indeed a handsome man.

But Tao Chengfen is a person from the capital, and he has seen so many junjie, if this stone mountain can only succeed in the scientific examination, it is not worth marrying his only daughter.

Thinking of this, Tao Chengfen frowned slightly, looking at Zuo Shuang's posture, it seemed that he was going to marry his daughter to Shishan, this is not good, my Tao Chengfen's daughter has to marry someone from the capital if she wants to marry.

"Shi Shan, what do your parents do?" Tao Chengfen felt the need to remind Zuo Shuang not to forget Shi Shan's background, so he deliberately asked like this.

Zuo Shuang frowned when he heard this, and looked at Tao Chengfen with some dissatisfaction, "Shishan is an orphan. ”

Tao Chengfen was stunned when she heard this, and then showed an apologetic expression, "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have asked like this." ”

"It's fine. Shi Shan smiled slightly, not minding, but at this time, he also saw Zuo Shuang's thoughts. Thinking of this, he was a little grateful to Zuo Shuang in his heart, grateful for Zuo Shuang's attention, but he also knew that with his identity, he and Zuo Xiushu would not have any future.

"I'm amazed that Ishiyama is an orphan and can have the talent he has today. Today, at my birthday banquet, I took the theme of 'Fighting the Border' and asked the guests to compose poems for Yao Manman to sing. ”

Zuo Shuang said, reciting 'Beidingbian'.

"Who made this poem Beidingbian?" After listening to Zuo Shuang's recitation, Tao Chengfen asked emotionally, and Zuo Xiushu also looked at Zuo Shuang with anticipation.

"It's Stone Mountain!" Zuo Shuang said the name of Stone Mountain with an appreciative face.

When Tao Chengfen heard this, he glanced at Shishan in surprise, but he didn't expect that Shishan, who was young, could write such a poem.

Zuo Xiushu also looked at Shi Shan with wide eyes, and Shi Shan's pale face gave her the impression that she was weak and powerless, but she didn't expect to be able to write such heroic poems.

"Shi Shan, are you a martial arts practitioner?" Tao Chengfen asked expectantly.

"I have never practiced martial arts. ”

Hearing Shi Shan's answer, and then looking at Shi Shan's pale face, Tao Chengfen could no longer hide the disappointment on his face.

"My lord, my cousin Xu Feng came to congratulate him on his birthday. ”

At this moment, the housekeeper Liu Zhuang came to the living room.

"Cousin is here?"

Hearing Liu Zhuang's words, Zuo Xiushu was suddenly surprised, and then let go of her mother's hand and ran towards the door of the living room.

At this time, Tao Chengfen swept away his dissatisfaction with Shi Shan, and looked out of the living room with a somewhat excited expression.

Xu Feng in Liu Zhuang's mouth is the son of Tao Chengfen's sister. The Xu family is in Beixuan, the capital, but it is a medium-sized family, a famous family, and Xu Feng himself likes Zuo Xiushu. However, the Xu family is not willing to see Xu Feng and Zuo Xiushu come together, because the Zuo family is not a family, and Zuo Xiushu admires Xu Feng more, and has not yet developed special feelings, so the two of them have not achieved anything so far.

The Xu family didn't want to see Xu Feng and Zuo Xiushu come together, and Zuo Shuang didn't want to fall into the name of the Xu family, but she Tao Chengfen was very willing for Zuo Xiushu to marry Xu Feng.

You must know that since her sister married into the Xu family, not to mention the glory and wealth, even the status of the Tao family in the capital has risen significantly, and every time she returns to the Tao family, she is also received ceremoniously and enjoys the popularity of everyone. She Tao Chengfen also longs for such treatment.
