In the past few days, the Wang family has been leaving Zhang Hou in the main room under the pretext of discussing the banquet with Zhang Hou, although Aunt Liang has the intention to probe Zhang Hou's tone for Saitama, but she has no chance, so she can't do it in a hurry. Saitama hadn't waited for Aunt Liang's reply

waited for the news of Huang Da's visit.

Yang Xi and Huang Da came to see Zhang Hou together. When the little girl was in the middle of nowhere, Zhang Hou was reading a letter from his brother in the study. The letter said that due to the emperor's poor health, all state affairs were presided over by the crown prince, and this time the work report paid more attention to the comments of the local governor, and once told him to let the political envoy help more. Moreover, there is a vacancy in Beijing now, and if the evaluation is excellent in Beijing this time, it is very likely that he will stay in Beijing as a candidate, and the prince will personally evaluate and leave a good impression, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must not be missed. After reading this letter, Zhang Hou was a little more optimistic about Saitama's family business, and it was worth exchanging a daughter for the blue eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the future prince, which does not mean that he has a bright future. Although he also knew that the Wang family would not find a good in-law for Saitama, he still couldn't resist the attraction of the executive Houlu to him, but Saitama would just accompany him more when the time came.

When Huang Da came in, Zhang Hou's trace of guilt about Saitama disappeared without a trace. I can't help but say that Huang Da is indeed good-looking. Under the two sword eyebrows is a pair of peach blossom eyes, which makes people be attracted if they are not careful. Under the tall nose are two thick red lips with a smile that makes people intoxicated. But after a closer look, it was found that his eyes were not very clear, although his skin was fair, but the color was dark. And looking at Yang Xi, although he is also good-looking, compared with Huang Da, he is more than heroic and not warm enough, but his eyes are clear and upright. So Zhang Hou hesitated in his heart, afraid that he was really a drunkard, not only could he not help, but also dragged down the Zhang family, thinking that if he could say that Yang Xi and Saiyu would be good, Lord Yang's side, I don't know what it means, it is difficult to tell Huang Da to his own family, when to probe his tone. After Huang Da and the others met and sat down, Zhang Hou asked:

"Why did Huang Xian's nephew come to Jinan this time?"

"Shibo, the younger generation came to accompany his mother to visit his aunt this time, and traveled to Shandong by the way. ”

"Young people should read 10,000 books than travel 10,000 miles. ”

What Shibo said is that his father often taught his younger generations not to read dead books, but to read more to broaden their horizons. ”

"Will Huang Xian's nephew also participate in the examination with Yang Xian's nephew in the coming year?" Huang Da's lifting person is also his father's trust, and for the sake of his uncle's face, he came to deceive. Where will I go to take the exam, and said:

"The juniors are still ready to wait, and when they have a certain certainty, it is not too late to take the exam. ”

"It's fine. Zhang Hou listened with a hint of regret. asked Yang Xi again:

"Yang Xian's nephew will go to Beijing to take the exam next year, if there is anything you need help with, don't be polite just ask, when it comes to the famous teachers and Confucians in Beijing, the old man still knows a few. Yang Xi heard this and hurriedly said:

"There is Lao Shibo to remember, and the younger generation is grateful. Zhang Hou listened and said:

"You're welcome. Today the two of you are here, and I just happened to have a new painting, so please judge it. ”

"It's an honor. Yang Xi and Huang Da said busily. Zhang Houming unfolded the painting, and the three of them walked to the painting case and looked at it. This is a landscape map, just listen to Zhang Hou said:

"Who made this painting, there is no way to verify, the old man is to see its smooth brushwork, majestic, as if from everyone's hands, so hidden, what do you think?" Yang Xi said:

"The brush of this painting is simple and spicy, with thick and thin intermittent differences, and the ink is stained vividly, sparing the ink rhyme, which should be from everyone's hands. Judging from the difference between its technique and today's popularity, it should be a work of the previous dynasty, but the younger generation is not careless in this way, and does not dare to make judgments. ”

"Well, that makes sense. Zhang Hou nodded, and asked Huang Da again:

"What do you think about the virtuous nephew?"

"The younger generation looked at this painting, and the layout was too flat and stable, and it lost its novelty. ”

"Oh, I see. Zhang Hou was quite unhappy when he heard this, and said:

"Virtuous nephew, good at painting?"

"A little bit of it. ”

"Then it's better to show it and let the old man taste it. ”

Huang Da is conceited and talented on weekdays, and he is very interested in writing poems and painting, coupled with the boasting of a group of fox friends and dog friends, he is deeply confident in his painting skills, so he readily agreed. Yang Xi felt that something was slightly wrong after listening to Huang Da's words, but he didn't know much about his cousin's painting skills, so he didn't remind him, and even hoped that Huang Da would mess up and lose Zhang Hou's favor, so he refused to get married. He really has no sympathy for this unreliable cousin.

Zhang Hou was annoyed by Huang Da here, and wanted to see how good he was, so he watched Huang Da paint intently. After a while, after Huang Da finished painting, he presented it to Zhang Hou for comment. Zhang Hou saw that his painting skills were skillful, but the pen was steep and focused on surprise, but he lost his majestic momentum and open-mindedness. Zhang Hou saw his performance and didn't think so, but he didn't want to see him too embarrassed. So he said:

"The virtuous nephew is skilled, this painting is really good! It just so happens that the two of you are here today, and the dog Zhang Xiao is preparing for the township test this year, can you give me some advice. Huang Da was not very satisfied with Zhang Hou's simple evaluation, and originally wanted to be brilliant, but he failed to succeed, so he didn't look very good. Yang Xi looked at the painting and knew that Zhang Hou was already very face-saving, and when he heard Zhang Hou say this, he hurriedly responded. After a while, Zhang Xiao came in, and Zhang Hou commanded:

"Xiao'er, there is something to do for your father today, you entertain the two brothers on behalf of your father, and by the way, ask them for advice, which will be of great benefit to your knowledge. Take the two brothers to see your mother first. Zhang Xiao responded and took Yang Xi and them to the main house of the Wang family, and the Wang family had already received a report. Let them in, just ask the parents about their shortcomings. The Wang family doesn't care about Huang Da, as long as he can send Saitama out, he doesn't care if it's good or bad, and even hopes that it will be worse to relieve the hatred in his heart. After greeting the Wang family, Zhang Xiao took them away.

As soon as I got out of the main courtyard, I met Saitama and the three of them getting out of school and were about to go back to their courtyard. Although men and women are on defense, there are brothers here, and they follow the maid and mother-in-law, so Saitama and they still blessed Yang Xi and Huang Dafu, and they hurriedly returned the salute. Yang Xi quietly gave a thumbs up when he returned the gift to Saitama, implying that the letter had been delivered. Saitama knew that Yang Xi was the one who helped him deliver the letter last time, and he couldn't help but be very happy when he saw that the letter had been delivered, but he couldn't bring it out on his face, so he only glanced at Yang Xi slightly, full of gratitude. Yang Xi's heart was like a deer jumping at this glance. He saw that Saitama was wearing a pale blue frayed cardigan, which made the whole person as gentle as jade. He hadn't seen Saitama's appearance until today, but he was already satisfied.

Among the three Saitama sisters, the most beautiful is Qi Jiao, Qi Jiao is wearing a golden peony red cardigan today, which makes her eyes more and more bright. Huang Da saw Qi Jiao from the beginning, and his eyes were almost glued to Qi Jiao, and he hated why he didn't tell him about this stunning girl. Yang Xi and Zhang Xiao both found that Huang Da's eyes were wrong, and Zhang Xiao's heart was even more angry, blocking in front of Huang Da, stretching out his hand and saying:

"Brother Huang, please. Huang Da was naturally embarrassed to look at it again, left with a sneer, and followed Zhang Xiao and them to the front yard, and the three of them talked about books, drank and ate.

In the evening, Zhang Hou returned to the main room in the backyard and met Wang. Wang hurriedly stepped forward and waited for Zhang Hou to change his clothes. After retiring from the maid's mother-in-law, he asked Zhang Hou:

"What does the master think of that child?" Zhang Hou did not answer, but asked:

"What do you think, Madame?"

"The concubine thinks it's good, she has a good background, her appearance is good, and her family background is not bad, this is a good son-in-law who can't be found by other people's families with lanterns! ”

"This son is a little exaggerated, not as steady as Yang Xi, and seeing that his face is not good, I don't know if he is addicted to wine. I don't think it's going to be a big deal. Wang listened to Zhang Hou's words, and his heart was sudden, but he still said:

"Juvenile middle lift, born like that, even if there are some ** things, it is inevitable. It's good to take it and collect it. ”

"I still don't think it's appropriate, what does Lord Yang mean over there, do you have to tell Huang Da to Saitama, I look at Yang Xi is not bad. Wang was furious when he heard this, Yang Xi was reserved for Qi Jiao by himself, how could he say that he was with Qi Yu, but her face still did not change and said:

"Yang Xi is really good, but I heard Mrs. Yang say that he will not consider marrying until after the examination. And listening to Mrs. Yang's tone, I'm afraid I still have to find a famous girl. ”

"That's a pity. ”

"Master, then this family affair ......"

"I'm going to think about it again. "It's hard for the Wang family to say it anymore, so I have to give up.
