Chapter 267, the third brother has to worship the emperor, and the prospective father-in-law looks at his daughter-in-law
Back at Situ Mansion, Situ Yan first found Wu Guo and asked him to send a letter to Fuxiang Village, telling San Lang Li Ren and Shilang Li Yanming'er to enter the capital early in the morning. Only then did he go to the study of the outer courtyard to see his brother Situ Jin, and told Duanmu Xuan about what Mr. Gongsun had given him.
"Yan'er, I am happy to be able to learn from the emperor, but there are good and bad things in this matter, what do you think?" Situ Jin also felt that there was something wrong with this.
"At first, I didn't expect that the old gentleman who behaved so strangely would be the emperor, and I was very happy, but now that I think about it, I am also a little worried. However, Brother Ziheng is like this, and he is also a good intention, if he refuses politely at this time, I am afraid that it will be rude, and if he offends people again, what kind of gossip will be spread, but he will cause trouble? And I also promised Mr. Gongsun, so my brother still went to his house to listen to the teachings first, and no one knows whether the future will be good or bad, so let's take one step at a time, right? Situ Yan had no better way but to wait and see.
"That's all there is to it! But it involved the third and fourth brothers? Situ Jin also has a good impression of the four brothers of the Li family, especially San Lang, so he is also worried about the two at this time.
"Brother, don't worry! The third brother is willing to come, but Mr. Gongsun is the emperor's business, so don't tell them yet, so as not to scare them! "The brothers of the Li family came from a humble background, and they are still different from Situ Jin, they have never seen any dignitaries and nobles, if they refuse because they are afraid of Mr. Gongsun's identity, they will lose an opportunity.
"Well, it's better to hide it first! Yan'er, do you really plan to let the third and fourth brothers also enter the court as officials? Situ Jin originally thought that the younger sister asked the fourth brother of the Li family to study, but she just wanted them to know some words, but now it seems that she is thinking about the future of the four of them.
"I originally meant that it was just going to be good for them to be able to take the exam, so that they could be exempted from servitude. In the future, after starting a family or separating a family, you will be able to support your family. As for whether they want to be officials or not, it depends on their own will, and I will not force it! "With Situ Yan's temperament, it's good to have an official in the family, and the probability of having an accident is too high. And it's easy to get involved.
"The sea of officials is up and down, but how many people are unwilling?" Situ Jin sighed a little for a while, how could anyone who had read the book not want to be an official.
"Life is short, and my brother should not be too harsh and force himself. Although Situ Mansion's future depends on her brother alone, Yan'er still hopes that her brother can live freely and happily! As for the trivial matters in the house, I have Yan'er to help my brother solve them! "After all, the four brothers of the Li family are just her brothers with different surnames, and she can't decide for the four of them, but she will protect them as much as she can.
"What a blessing for my brother. There is Yan'er's sister! Situ looked at his little sister gratefully, and thanked his mother more and more for protecting his sister.
"Little sister is so fortunate to have her brother so loved!" Situ Yan also feels that it is a very happy thing to have a relative in this other world. After all, she could feel that she wasn't alone.
The two looked at each other and smiled, family members should support each other, so that they can be regarded as a family!
On the second day, Li Ren and Li Yan drove the donkey cart into the capital. Situ Yan changed into men's clothes, and Situ Jin took the two of them to apprentice together, of course, there should be six rites, Situ Yan prepared three copies as before, and even added a lot of snacks.
"Little Five. Is this gentleman very knowledgeable? When Li Ren got the news yesterday, he was a little curious about why the little sister suddenly asked them to go to Beijing to apprentice.
"Mr. Gongsun is full of scriptures, and he is naturally an extraordinary person who is rich and rich. And we can't be considered apprentices this time, but we can just get a point or two. The third brother and the fourth brother are just casual! Mr. Gongsun doesn't like to be restrained! Situ Yan couldn't help laughing when she thought of Mr. Gongsun when she first met, like a greedy old naughty boy.
"Well, that's fine, Xiaosi didn't sleep well last night and has been worried?" San Lang Li Ren glanced at his younger brother who was in a trance. Shiro is still the same as before. The character is somewhat cowardly. Although I have experienced a lot of things and have grown up better than before, the character in my bones does not mean that I can change.
Situ Yan also noticed. But now she will no longer be like before, protecting and persuading everywhere, it is time for them to face it independently.
When he arrived at Gongsun Mansion, Situ Jin called the door and handed over the famous thorn, Situ Yan and the old man who opened the door exchanged a few more words, and then entered Gongsun Mansion.
Situ Yan and Situ Jin walked in front. Li Ren and Li Yan followed, and the four of them didn't speak, but Situ Yan would secretly give the timid Li Yan some encouraging glances when Situ was not paying attention.
Entering the study, Mr. Gongsun was writing urgently, although he didn't know what he was writing, it could be seen that it was not for the pleasure of practicing calligraphy.
Situ Yan motioned to a few people not to make a sound, and did not wait for anyone to arrange, but found a seat and sat down first.
Li Ren and Li Yan, who didn't know the identity of Mr. Gongsun, saw that the little sister was sitting, so they naturally sat down together. Situ Jin was willing to take his eyes to signal the little sister not to lose his manners in front of the emperor.
"It's okay!" Situ Yan lightly lip-synched, pointed to the position of the head next to him, and asked Situ Jin to sit too. For this girl, Situ Jin also looked helpless, shook his head lightly, still standing next to the chair, and refused to sit down.
After waiting for a cup of tea, I saw Mr. Gongsun take the pen. picked up the tea in his hand, took a sip, then raised his eyes and glanced at the four of them, and nodded to Situ Yan who was sitting on the chair, but he didn't look at Situ Jin at all.
Situ Yan not only felt nervous, but thought that Mr. Gongsun must have felt that his brother was too conformist, but it was not in line with the old gentleman's own naughty child's wishes. Things gather people in groups, and Mr. Gonghan's temperament is naturally not a person who doesn't like Situ Jin's temperament. But she had already hinted at her brother just now, but the brother didn't listen or believe it.
"Forget it, although the first impression of this person is important, but Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time, and after getting along for a long time, Mr. Gongsun will have a different opinion of his brother!" Situ Yan was only worried for a moment, and then she didn't care.
"I read your gift list, I don't like the 'six gifts', return it! As for the dim sum, girl, you can't send more dim sum, yesterday's ones, the old man didn't wait for the night to eat? ”
"Mr. Gongsun likes it, I will send someone from the house to bring you one every day, but not too much, if you eat too much of this snack, you can't eat the main meal, and the nutrition will be unbalanced, but it will be harmful to the body!"
Situ Jin didn't expect Mr. Gongsun to be so casual, and the little sister's behavior didn't look like facing the emperor at all, but like chatting with an old man in cloth.
"You girl, you're young. That's a lot of worry? "Mr. Gongsun is used to being praised, but few people really care about his body.
"The girl is not as blessed as Mr., I am a worrying life!" Situ Yan didn't care what Situ Jin was thinking, she had already figured out Mr. Gongsun's temper.
"Hahaha. I just like your temperament, it makes people feel at ease! Okay boy, sit down too! There's no need to set those rules here for the old man! After chatting with Situ Yan for a few words, he looked at Situ Jin and motioned for him to sit down.
"Yes, the student is rude!" Situ Jin listened to the conversation between Xiaomei and the emperor on the side. was secretly surprised, but he didn't want to be suddenly clicked, so he was surprised, but fortunately, he didn't shout rudely, and he sat down after saluting.
Mr. Gongsun, who watched it, shook his head and sighed, the two brothers and sisters have very different temperaments. He still prefers Situ Yan, if he can accept such an eccentric disciple, he will not be bored in the future.
Situ Yan looked at Mr. Gongsun and shook her head, a little worried about her brother. After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "My brother can get Mr. guidance, that's a blessing for a girl!" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”
"Sir, you are rare to be confused, informal, the girl is very similar to you, but you have also seen that my brother has been taught by some old masters since he was a child, and he keeps the rules on his lips every day, and the girl is about to be stuffy at home. Now, I can only come to my husband's house two days a month. But at least the girl's ears can be quiet for two days, you always say, is this a blessing for the girl? ”
"You're a ghost, could it be that you're hiding for yourself. That's why you sent your brother to the old man? Mr. Gongsun couldn't stop laughing, he didn't expect Situ Yan to be so playful.
"Yes and no, it's a win-win! So I have to ask Mr. Gongsun not to refuse, it's just a pity, if only my brother could come here every day! ”
"You monkey, I don't think it's your brother who cares. You're not a king yet? ”
"Mr. Jing said this, it seems that my brother has such a temperament, but it's not a girl?"
Only then did Mr. Gongsun react, co-authoring this girl was changing the way to intercede for Situ Jin, Xu could see that he didn't like Situ Jin, "It's really clever, no wonder Ziheng's kid values her so much." Only this wit, Yu'er is destined to be incomparable with this girl. Hi! He sighed secretly in his heart, and then he took the test to teach the three of them.
After some examination, Mr. Gongsun was a little impressed by Situ Jin, thinking that this kid was just a little familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but he didn't want Situ Jin to also read a wide range of books, and even dabbled in military books and loose collections, which was rare. And the two boys of the Li family are not only those who follow the old pedants and only know how to learn, but also have a lot of research in the art of war.
"Hahaha, not bad! Ziheng finally didn't get some sour people for the old man, okay, from next month, you can come back on the first and fifteenth days of the new year every month. I still have some things in the house today, so I won't leave you any more! ”
"Yes, the student thanked Mr. Gongsun!" The three of them saluted, Situ Yan got up and saluted, and then was about to leave, but was stopped by Mr. Gongsun, "Girl, although Ziheng is unruly, he is indomitable and unswerving!" As his mentor, I hope you can think about it more. ”。
Situ Yan didn't expect that Mr. Gongsun also knew about her and Duanmu Xuan, and sighed, "Mr. is a clear-eyed person, I have a different identity from him, for him, and for the sake of the entire Guogong Mansion, since I know that my career is difficult, why do I have to go against the sky!" ”
"The girl is not the one who resigns herself to fate!"
"My life is up to me, but if my temporary preference affects my family and hurts my loved ones, I would rather choose to obey my fate. But if God wants to hurt my loved ones, I will change my life against the sky, even if it is reincarnation in the earth, I have no regrets! This is her Situ Yan, she doesn't accept her fate, she doesn't believe in fate, but she is willing to endure it for the sake of her relatives. But if God dares to hurt her relatives, she will go against the sky.
"Hahaha, good! Ziheng really didn't look at the wrong person, I can rest assured! Go ahead, girl! Mr. Gongsun waved his hand lightly, and Situ Yan saluted again.
"This strange old man, what kind of dumb fan is he fighting?" Situ Yan stood at the door of the study, stunned for a moment, I didn't know why Mr. Gongsun asked just now, but it was useless to think about it, so I had to follow my subordinates out of Gongsun Mansion.
"You old guy, you do the good guy, and let me be the bad guy, are you satisfied?" Mr. Gongsun didn't look at Ping Feng behind him, but just glanced at it with his peripheral vision.
Only then did one person walk out after Ping Feng, it was Liang Guogong Duanmu Li.
"You are Xuan'er's teacher, if you don't do this wicked person, who will?"
"Are you going to be a good person?"
"She's my prospective daughter-in-law, and I'll never look up and look down in the future, of course I have to make a good impression, anyway, she doesn't come here often?"
"You'll say, 'Okay, I've done it, so let's go! Why, do you still want to eat with me? ”
"It's not enough to rub the rice, but the dim sum sent by the girl, you score half of it for me to taste!"
"Don't think about it, let me tell you Duanmu Lao'er, let me help you teach your daughter-in-law and son, only this food, you don't want to share a bite!"
"Good! It's more serious at this time, why didn't I see you so serious in the court! ”
"You! Someone, send off! Mr. Gongsun waved his hand with disgust.
"Okay, I can't afford to mess with you! But, thank you, I'm very satisfied with this daughter-in-law! It's just a pity that your son has already been married, and now he only has a granddaughter, otherwise I would be afraid that you will fight with me! ”
"I don't have a grandson, but I have a student, Duanmu Lao'er, you wait and see, if I don't make ten or eight love rivals for Ziheng, I won't be surnamed Gongsun?" That's what Mr. Gongsun thought in his heart, such a good woman actually cheapened Duanmu Xuan, a stinky boy, he was really a little unwilling.
"Don't, don't, don't, I'm afraid of you! I'm leaving! Thank you tomorrow! ”
"No, don't send it!" The two have been friends for many years, and they don't know each other's temperament, and such a quarrel has long become a kind of fun.
Duanmu Li left, Mr. Gongsun sighed, he was also a little annoyed, if he had a grandson, then he would definitely compete with this Duanmu Lao'er, such an interesting girl, if he could stay in the house in the future, then he would not be so boring.
And Duanmu Li, who was satisfied, rode back to the Guogong Mansion on horseback, but he was excited all day.
If Situ Yan knew that he had only entered Gongsun Mansion twice, he would have let people sell it, and he would have gone to the northwest to tear Duanmu Xuan into eight pieces and take it to Snow Wolf for supper. (To be continued.) )
