Sending Shen Wansan away, Ma Xiuying's life returned to peace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info it was inconvenient for her to go out of the house, so she wrote the shadow guard training plan into a manual, and asked Yao Tianxi to help train the shadow guard.

Yao Tianxi never shirked, and did all this hard. He can't promise anything to Ma Xiuying right now, so he does everything he can to make Ma Xiuying happy. He likes Ma Xiuying's attitude of trusting him, especially seeing Ma Xiuying's excitement about improving the organizational ability of the film guard day by day.

Yao Tianxi's frequent outings attracted Yao Zhenzhi's attention, and he called his son into the study and asked, "What have you been busy with lately? Why do you have to leave the house every three or five days?"

Yao Tianxi couldn't tell the truth, and he didn't want to deceive his father, so he lowered his head and was silent.

"Is there anything you can't tell me about this father?" Yao Zhenzhi became more and more suspicious.

Yao Tianxi remained silent.

Yao Zhenzhi said angrily: "Okay, okay, now that you have grown up, you don't want to tell me and your mother if you have something." In that case, let your mother say that you will marry a daughter-in-law quickly, and go through your own life behind closed doors. ”

Yao Tianxi raised his head violently, "The child doesn't want to get married so early. ”

"It's still early, Shen Fu has a family and a business, you still have a day of chaos, how long do you want us to worry about it?" Yao Zhenzhi's voice revealed a sense of exhaustion, he had always felt that his son was stronger than Shen Fu, but now it was reversed. Every time he heard Shen You show off Shen Fu's talents, he became more and more disappointed in his son.

"The child is not filial, and I beg my parents to forgive me. Yao Tianxi was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to admit his mistake.

Yao Zhenzhi softened his tone, "If you know that you are not filial, you should start a family early." ”

"Father, the child has no mind......" Yao Tianxu showed a look of pain, at this moment, he had no way to say what he admired Ma Xiuying, that would only anger his father even more.

Yao Zhenzhi knew that his son had a cold personality, and it would only backfire if he was in a hurry, and this kind of inner house matter should be handled by his wife, so he said something else, "Have you read a good book recently?" I hope you don't go out of the house at will, it is better to read a few more books when you have that time, and come back with a first place in the imperial examination." ”

"What about earning a first name and becoming an official in the court? My father wants me to serve the court? But this is not the court of our Han people, and the child does not want to serve the Yuan people, but would rather be a farmer. Yao Tianxi's loose brows furrowed again.

"That's why you're lazy now?" Yao Zhenzhi paused, and said, "I'm not asking you to work for the Yuan people, it's just that what is the use of our Jiangnan scholars not participating in the imperial examination?"

"It's useful not to participate in the imperial examination, and no one can take away the knowledge if it is your own. Yao Tianxi couldn't help but think of what Ma Xiuying said, and said in a loud voice: "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! We can't help the Yuan people to bully the Han people." We should gather the world's scholars to denounce the atrocities of the Yuan people and overthrow this mediocre dynasty as soon as possible!"

"Shut up!" Yao Zhenzhi's face was shocked, and he nervously walked outside the door to take a look, turned around with an uneven breath, and stared at Yao Tianxu fiercely, "I always thought that you had a calm temperament, you, you dare to say that...... Whoever instills in you these great rebellious thoughts, you rebel ......"

Yao Tianxi hurriedly stepped forward to support Yao Zhenzhi, "Father is angry, no one instills these thoughts in the child, it is the child's own thoughts." Looking at the world, the people are not happy, thieves are everywhere, such days are not the life that the people desire at all, these are the evil consequences of the Yuanren Tartars after entering the customs. Father, in fact, you also understand in your heart that this is not the world of our Han people, this is only the world of the Yuan people, they will not care about the life or death of the Han people at all, why should we support such a court?"

Yao Zhenzhi sat down decadently, "But this world is like this, what can we little people do?"

The more Yao Tianxi spoke, the more passionate he became, "No, father, you look carefully! The world is pouring out, the people's hearts are declining, the country will not be a country, and the world will change the sky." Where there is oppression, there will be resistance! It may not be helpful for a common man to stand up, but what about thousands of people standing up? The world will always return to the hands of our Han people!"

Yao Zhenzhi's face flickered, and finally waved his hand weakly, "You, you go down, these words are not allowed to be said again in the future." ”

"Father!" Yao Tianxi straightened his spine and took a deep breath, "Winter will be spring when it passes, and when the darkness disappears, you will see the light." Although we are people who live in darkness, as long as we do not give up, we will definitely see the light of day!"

"Go down! After greeting your mother, go back to Qingfeng Yuan, and you are not allowed to go out during this time!" Yao Zhenzhi was furious, he couldn't let his son continue.

Yao Tianxu walked towards Mrs. Yao's courtyard sullenly, not finding that Yao Zhenzhi actually showed a complicated expression on his face after he left, both worried and relieved. It was also thanks to these appalling remarks that Yao Zhenzhi forgot to investigate his son's frequent departures.

As soon as she walked into the courtyard, Mrs. Yao greeted her, looked at Yao Tianxi's face full of sadness, and asked distressedly, "Isn't it that you were reprimanded by your father?"

"The child is not filial, so that the mother is worried about the child. ”

"Silly boy, what are we talking about and what are we talking about. Mrs. Yao pulled Yao Tianxi to sit down, looked at him kindly, and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, my son has grown into a big guy, and he has become a talent." I don't expect anything now, I just hope that you will start a family as soon as possible. I discussed with your father, and I will choose a good family for you within the year. ”

Yao Tianxi was so shocked that he hurriedly said, "The child doesn't want to start a family at the moment. ”

"Shen Fu's kid is married, why don't you get married?" Mrs. Yao seemed to think of something, and her smile did not decrease, "Do you have a crush on which girl?"

"Mother, why do you say that...... Yao Tianxi's heart was pounding, and he couldn't speak. Could it be that her mother found out that she liked Ma Xiuying?

"You were born to me, I don't know your temperament yet?" Mrs. Yao smiled wisely and tapped Yao Tianxi's forehead, "You, you used to see everyone cold, like now, you can't hide the tenderness in your eyebrows, but you are not a girl you like, no wonder the servant said that you often go out of the house." ”

Yao Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately his mother didn't know about Ma Xiuying.

Mrs. Yao asked, "Tell me quickly, which girl is it?" and I'll help you think about it." ”

Yao Tianxi thought about it for a while, and took the opportunity to say tentatively: "If that girl's family background is average, will her mother allow it?"

Mrs. Yao frowned, "How can a woman taught by a small family be the head of the Yao Mansion, if you really like it, you can take her as a concubine." ”

Yao Tianxi suddenly slumped his shoulders and looked disappointed.

Mrs. Yao continued to persuade: "I'm for your good, you look at the daughters raised by the Guo family next door, one is worse than the other, especially the woman named Ma Xiuying, the reputation is simply unbearable, fortunately, our family has no contact with the Guo family anymore......"

Yao Tianxi interrupted Mrs. Yao's words sullenly, "Mother, don't talk about it, the child doesn't have a girl he likes, and he doesn't want to get married." ”

Mrs. Yao didn't believe it, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me the truth, I can see that you have someone in your heart, you tell me which girl it is first?"

Yao Tianxi's expression was gloomy, and he wanted to tell his mother out loud that he did have someone he liked. But parents with a strong sense of name will definitely not agree to marry the righteous daughter of a small family as a wife, and Ma Xiuying is currently "notorious", even if she is accepted as a concubine, her parents may not agree, let alone marry her as a concubine. Take 10,000 steps back, even if his parents agree to him to let Ma Xiuying enter the door, Ma Xiuying will not agree to marry him as a concubine. He is now rashly expressing his heart for Ma Xiuying, which will only bring all kinds of trouble to Ma Xiuying. However, apart from Ma Xiuying, he never wanted to marry another woman. At this time, he regretted that he should not have agreed with Ma Xiuying to spread his reputation so badly, but at that time, there was only a three-day period, so he was allowed to think carefully and think of a better way to destroy Ma Xiuying and Dou Gongzi's marriage.

Mrs. Yao asked again and again, but Yao Tianxi refused to admit that he was interested in someone.

Mrs. Yao threatened: "If you don't tell the truth, I will be in charge of arranging family affairs for you." ”

"My father talked to me about the imperial examination today, and I want to get married after the imperial examination, because I am afraid that getting married too early will affect my studies. In desperation, Yao Tianxi played the trick of procrastination, and the scientific expedition was held every three years, hoping to find a way for his parents to accept Ma Xiuying during this time.

"How important is your marriage in the imperial examination, your father is an old stubborn, don't pay attention to him!"

Yao Tianxi smiled bitterly, "If the child has a chance, won't the mother be able to choose a better family for the child?"

"Really?" Mrs. Yao looked at Yao Tianxi suspiciously, and saw that his eyes were earnest and his expression was firm, so she had to temporarily suppress the idea of saying goodbye to her son.

Ma Xiuying didn't know what was happening in Yao's Mansion, and came to Qingfeng Yuan as usual the next day to inquire about the situation of the shadow guard.

When Yao Tianxi saw Ma Xiuying, he couldn't help but think of his mother's urging him to get married, and his mood suddenly became impatient, he wanted to ask Ma Xiuying's mind several times but didn't dare to speak, and he was always absent-minded when talking to Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying found that he looked strange and embarrassed, so she asked with concern, "Brother Yao, what's wrong?"

Yao Tianxi was happy and uncomfortable in his heart, and said apologetically: "Father blamed me for going out of the house too often recently, and punished me for grounding, I can't help you train the shadow guard for the time being." ”

Ma Xiuying was embarrassed by Yao Tianxi, and smiled generously: "I thought something was embarrassing to you, but it turned out to be this matter." Actually, I should say thank you and sorry to you, you have helped me a lot, and I am embarrassed that you were blamed by Master Yao because of me. Anyway, now that the shadow guard organization has formed a scale, we don't have to keep an eye on it all the time, don't go out of the house if it's inconvenient, I'll find a chance to go out and have a look. ”

The corners of Yao Tianxi's mouth were filled with bitterness, what he wanted was not a word of thanks and sorry. The affection he paid was clear to Shen Wansan and Li Qi'er, but Ma Xiuying always turned a blind eye and laughed that she was her male best friend. He tried to get closer to Ma Xiuying, but found that Ma Xiuying seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him. With the gradual growth of the film guard organization, Ma Xiuying is no longer the orphan girl under the fence she saw at the beginning, and she can help less and less, maybe one day she will no longer need herself......

A panic suddenly rose in Yao Tianxi's heart, he was afraid that day would come, he decided to tell Ma Xiuying his mind immediately, he couldn't suppress his restless mood, even if it scared her, he couldn't wait indefinitely.

"Xiuying, I'm ......"

Suddenly, there was a sound of running outside the house, and Li Qi'er's voice sounded at the same time as a knock on the door, "Young master, Miss Ma, I heard a noise in the courtyard next door, so I thought that Yuan Xing was arguing with someone." ”
