Chapter 52: A Beautiful Misunderstanding
"Then the current situation is ......" Lu Hao looked at Xu Chen.
"As expected, stay first!" Speaking of this, Xu Chen looked at Lu Hao and Wang Ce again, and asked with a smile, "You two really don't plan to go to the examination room?"
"I'll forget it!" Wang Ce laughed: "He doesn't take anything I know, and if he goes, it's in vain." ”
"What about you?" Xu Chen turned his head to look at Lu Hao.
"It turns out that I still have this idea, but now I ......" Lu Hao shook his head slightly: "There is such a thing as identity, which is dispensable!"
Xu Chen was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay, whatever you want!"
As he spoke, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Li walked in.
"Big brother, Lu Lao, please come over as soon as possible!
Xu Chen's face froze, and he muttered, "I forgot about this!"
"I'll go now!" Saying that, Xu Chen got up and said to Lu Hao: "You prepare the gifts you want to bring tomorrow, I shouldn't come back in the evening, just go directly to the teacher tomorrow!"
"Good!"
Zhang Li came from Zhuangzi outside the city, and the carriage was at the gate of the courtyard, and Xu Chen was about to get on the car when he went out.
"Xiao Chenzi!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded across the street.
Tang Yuan walked over with a look of surprise on his face.
"Uncle Tang!" Xu Chen had no choice but to stop and bow his hand.
"Okay, you little Chenzi, don't tell me when you get to Chang'an, do you?" Tang Yuan ran over quickly, pointed at Xu Chen, and Xingshi asked, "When did you arrive?"
Xu Chen smiled embarrassedly: "I've been there in the morning, you're not here!"
"In the morning?" Tang Yuan suddenly said: "Oh, I went out in the morning to buy some New Year's goods! In the morning, Xiao Jue should be in the ......"
As he spoke, Tang Yuan got closer, and asked with a hint of an incomprehensible smile: "See you again, right?" You kid lied to me that he hadn't seen it at the beginning, what do you say now?"
Xu Chen's face turned red rarely, and he said embarrassedly: "That...... Then...... This ......"
"Don't do this, that, that!" Tang Yuan waved his hand, directly grabbed Xu Chen's hand, turned around and was about to leave, extremely wealthy: "Go! Ming'er is Chinese New Year's Eve, you must go to your teacher's place! This meal must be eaten at my house tonight! You all come, uncle does not lack your food money!"
"That's that!" Xu Chen hurriedly flattered: "Uncle Tang is now the most famous porcelain craftsman in Chang'an City, and even the Holy Lord and the noble concubine are full of praise for your craftsmanship!"
"Haha!" Tang Yuan laughed: "Say a few more words! I love to hear this!"
Xu Chen was slightly stunned, and looked at Tang Yuan in disbelief: "Uncle, I haven't seen it for more than a year, and it's become quite ...... Really!"
"Haha!" Tang Yuan smiled: "Others say that these are all for me, you are different!"
"How do you know I'm okay to beg you?" Xu Chen smiled.
Tang Yuan turned his head and looked at him with a smile: "Really, then you beg me!"
"This ...... This ......" Xu Chen could only smirk again: "The time has not yet come!
"At this time, look at what you say!" Tang Yuan suddenly put on the appearance of a person who came over: "It's good to come naturally!
"Huh?" Xu Chen was a little dazed.
"Ahh
"No!" Xu Chen shook his head decisively: "But, I ......"
"Okay, okay!" Tang Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't say anything, go to my place to eat!"
"This ...... Uncle, uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it tonight!" Xu Chen broke free lightly and said apologetically: "Something happened to me in Zhuangzi outside the city, hurry up and deal with it!"
"What about Tie Niu?" Tang Yuan refused to let Xu Chen go, and said straightforwardly: "Isn't he in charge of everything here in Chang'an?
"This matter is a bit troublesome!" Xu Chen said apologetically: "I have to go in person!"
Tang Yuan didn't speak, but looked Xu Chen up and down, and after a long while, he said: "You kid isn't perfunctory to me, are you?
"Tell me, what the hell do you kid think!"
"This ...... I really don't!" Xu Chen was a little aggrieved and even more confused.
"Okay, you little Chenzi! I still think of you as a reliable child! I actually came with me like this! Tell me, do you have any other ideas?"
"I ...... What an idea!" Xu Chen said with a bitter face: "Uncle, I really don't have any ideas!"
"What are you talking about? No idea? No idea, why did you do so much in the first place? Ahhhh
......Seeing that Tang Yuan was angry, Xu Chen, who was full of doubts, hurriedly climbed into the carriage, ignored Tang Yuan's words and asked people to whip and drive the horse, leaned out of the car window, waved at Tang Yuan in front of the gate and said: "Uncle, the first day of junior high school! I will definitely come to the door to apologize on the first day of junior high school! Don't be angry!"
"Get out, get out of the way! Lao Tzu is not uncommon!"
With that, Tang Yuan crossed the street angrily and entered the opposite door.
Seeing her husband rushing into the door angrily, his wife Tang hurriedly greeted her: "What's the matter?
"Tell me, what do you mean, boy...... He even told me that he had no idea! He didn't have an idea, what kind of cake was it on Changshan Island, and he wrote lyrics! Playing tricks, right?"
Tang poured a cup of tea and frowned slightly: "What did you say? What do you have no idea? I don't understand! Who is Xu Xiaozi?"
"Who else could it be?" Tang Yuan took a sip of the cup of tea, and still said angrily: "It's Xu Chen's kid!"
"He, he's coming to Chang'an?"
"Yes! I just saw it at the door!"
"Oh......" Tang nodded and asked again, "Then you say he has no idea?"
"He's pretending to be stupid, and you're pretending to be stupid!" Tang Yuan glanced at her and said, "Of course he has any thoughts about our little jue!"
"Oh......" Tang Shi suddenly sat down, drank a cup of tea, and said leisurely: "If you don't have an idea, you don't have an idea!
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at his wife, and said suspiciously, "What's the matter?"
"What's the use of being anxious?" Tang said calmly: "It's not that our little Jue can't get married!
"What do you mean Xiao Yanzi?" Tang Yuan was silent for a moment, and shook his head decisively: "I used to think that he was quite suitable for Xiao Jue......!
"Alas!" Tang Yuan sighed: "It's not that you don't know what his father's identity is!
"What kind of identity? It's just an errand!" Tang Shi said nonchalantly: "Didn't you also work as an errand boy in the yamen before!"
"That can be the same!" Tang Yuan said solemnly: "What kind of yamen am I, and what kind of yamen are they? You don't look at the Xiao family brothers' house in Yongxingfang!"
"What's wrong? Isn't it just a four-entry hospital! It's not that our family can't afford it!"
"Confused! That's a matter of money!" Tang Yuan said sharply: "You can't buy that kind of house with any amount of money!"
"Look at the girl who usually plays with Xiao Jue, princess!"
Tang Yuan still can't believe that the girl who usually plays like an ordinary girl is actually the princess of the dynasty!
As Xiao Yi's identity grew, in fact, Tang Yuan didn't know very well, but he knew that he probably had some status, as Qingbai porcelain gradually became famous, especially the love of the concubines of the dynasty, Tang Yuan also began to come into contact with some powerful figures, and even had the honor to attend some banquets of high standard.
In the Tang Dynasty, for some craftsmen with special skills, the magnates would still give certain courtesy, but not much, most of them were just to show their own demeanor, and the craftsmen were just decorations on the banquet.
With the understanding of Xiao Yi and Neiwei, Tang Yuan realized that a large part of the courtesy that those people did not have much for him actually stemmed from Xiao Yi's identity.
The internal guard is actually an independent yamen directly controlled by today's son! The weight of its authority even made the loyal ministers of the court feared like tigers for a time!
Tang Yuan is just a craftsman, and it is impossible to know the deep entanglement between the internal guard and the civil generals, but as an ordinary person, especially a businessman and craftsman whose identity and nobility are completely untouched, the natural awe of the elite class has long been ingrained.
Envy is naturally such an emotion, but to say that it is deliberately clinging is also inconsistent with its nature. It's just that the feelings between him and Xiao Yi at the beginning of Fuliang have gradually become thinner with the change of identity environment.
Especially the reputation of the internal guard is really not very good, after all, most of the remarks are in the hands of literati, but Tang Yuan has not reached the level after all, and he can't tell whether it is the truth or just criticism and suppression.
But the alienation born of fear in my heart is getting deeper and deeper, and Xiao Yan, a child who originally looked very good, was naturally excluded by Tang Yuan from the list of sons-in-law.
After all, they have been married for many years, and they are also smart women, seeing her husband's serious expression and realizing the seriousness, Tang nodded slowly: "It's true! After all, the identity is so bad, this is really married......
"Alas, it's a pity for Xiaoyan's child!"
The family is deeply rooted in such a concept, even if Tang Yuan and his wife love their daughter as much as their life, they don't really mind the identity of their future son-in-law, as long as their daughter likes it.
is that the two of them were united at the beginning, and there is a lot of distance between their identities and family backgrounds, but they are as happy as they are after marriage, but they are just ...... Now the distance between their home and the Xiao family can no longer be described as a distance!
Rather, the chasm!
After ruling out a backup option in his heart, Tang also paid attention to it and hurriedly asked, "What about Xiao Chen?"
"He said he had no idea!" Tang Yuan still said angrily: "This kid was so attentive at the beginning, but now he actually says that he has no idea!
"Don't worry!" Tang was still more delicate, and hurriedly said: "You tell me the original version of what you just said!"
Tang Yuan then repeated the conversation with Xu Chen just now, and Tang asked some more details before he muttered, "So...... He's already met with Xiao Jue in the morning! Now that his attitude has changed greatly, could it be Xiao Jue's ......?"
Caring is chaotic, saying that it is with the wishes of the daughter, but when the children are old, which parent can really not move like a mountain?
It was just a small misunderstanding that triggered the infinite conjecture of Tang Yuan and his wife, and then it took a long time of careful preparation......
Naturally, Xu Chen didn't know all this now.
