Dong Shulan's second uncle, Dong Xiangfang, was sitting in the Xiangming Xuan at the moment, with a serious expression on his emaciated face, and the lid of the teacup in his hand had been uncovered, but he hadn't taken a sip for a long time.

His youngest son, Dong Xiuhuai, was at the bottom, looked at his father, and thought that since the third uncle's family sent someone to tell him the news that his cousin Shulan was going to visit in the morning, his father's face was cloudy, and he seemed to have some difficult determination in his heart.

I think it must be Sister Shulan's fiancé.

Previously, everyone thought that Sister Shulan was going to marry Yan Xiwen, but they didn't expect such a dramatic reversal in such a short period of time. The little landlord from Linjiang City didn't know what means he used to defeat Yan Xiwen, and now Yan Valve didn't react to this matter at all!

This is a very strange thing, Shangjing Yan Valve is as majestic as a mountain, and the landowner of Linjiang is probably not even a small hill in the eyes of Yan Valve. In the past, when he got together with Yan Xiwen, Dong Xiuhuai knew Yan Xiwen's thoughts to his cousin, and there was no falsehood here, but Yan Xiwen pinched his nose and admitted it, even if it was Yan Shidao, he never made any sound about it.

But Dong Xiuhuai felt that Fu Xiaoguan was not bad, because this person's reputation in the school palace had reached its peak, even if it was Yan Xiwen, it was far inferior to him.

This is a talented and beautiful woman, although Fu Xiaoguan was born as a landlord, but now he has the status of a jinshi given by His Majesty, and he is also an idle official. It is said that Guozijian is compiling a historical record - this is a huge work, and the historical events of all dynasties from the past thousand years to the past thousand years will be compiled, and the initiator of this matter is said to be Fu Xiaoguan.

Last night, he kept a vigil and chatted with his father, and he also knew that Fu Xiaoguan was going to the Wu Dynasty to participate in the Cold Food Festival. Father said that he was the only person whose name was named in the documents of the Wu Dynasty, so it seems that Fu Xiaoguan's name is far more than just Yangjing, even the Wu Dynasty, which is thousands of miles away, knows it. So, for such a gifted teenager, the father should have congratulated them, why was he so entangled?

Dong Xiangfang finally took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "You go to the front hall, Shulan and they are here to talk about it." ”

Dong Xiuhuai left the Xiangming Xuan, Dong Xiangfang took a deep breath and looked up at the plum tree outside the window.

The snow on the plum branches is melting, and a few of them are already blooming, red and white, and they are so beautiful.

It didn't take long for Dong Xiuhuai and Dong Shulan's laughter to come from outside, and then they walked into the Xiang Ming Xuan, Dong Xiangfang's gaze crossed Dong Xiuhuai and Dong Xiujin, and fell on the face of the young man at the end.

It was he who disgraced the Book of Rites on top of the Golden Palace.

Dong Xiangfang didn't know about the incident at that time, as the young secretary of Honglu Temple, if it wasn't specially summoned by His Majesty, he would not have been able to participate in the court meeting. When he heard about it later, he only felt that it was a pity for this young man named Fu Xiaoguan, who offended the Shi family, one of the six major gates in Shangjing, as soon as he entered the Golden Palace, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch in Shangjing in the future.

He didn't pay attention to Fu Xiaoguan, and he knew that it was no different from the people in the capital, it was nothing more than the book of a dream in the Red Chamber and the song of the water tune. It wasn't until the end of the year that the documents handed to His Majesty by the envoys of the Wu Dynasty were transferred to Honglu Temple, and he got to know Fu Xiaoguan seriously for the first time.

Only then did I know that this young man was the young master of the big landlord's family in Linjiang, and only then did I know that he wrote a disaster relief strategy for His Majesty. Well, this young man is a talent, but Honglu Temple is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and Shi Chaoyuan is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he didn't get acquainted with Fu Xiaoguan, just an appreciation of his talent.

It wasn't until he heard some news that Dong Shulan, the daughter of the third brother Dong Kangping, seemed to have some affection between him and this Fu Xiaoguan, that he felt that something was wrong with this matter. Because the matter between Yan Xiwen and Dong Shulan is developing steadily, if there is such a rumor at this time, it will be extremely bad for Dong Shulan's reputation, then Yan Valve is very strict and attaches great importance to reputation, and if this family affair is not good, there will be problems.

He had talked to Dong Kangping a few times, and it seemed that the third brother didn't care too much.

He wanted to go to Fu Xiaoguan and ask him not to be a toad and want to eat swan meat, so he took the initiative to retreat, but he didn't expect Fu Xiaoguan to return to Linjiang again.

This time, I actually want to meet my relatives!

And from beginning to end, Yan Valve has no attitude towards this matter.

Therefore, if there was no matter for Fu Xiaoguan to send an envoy to the Wu Dynasty, he would definitely not approve of their affairs.

But now the situation is obviously different, Dong Xiangfang knows that this time Fu Xiaoguan sent an envoy to the Wu Dynasty to come back successfully, His Majesty will definitely add another reward.

So at this moment, facing Fu Xiaoguan, I don't need to embarrass him anymore.

That's why he's hesitant.

Fu Xiaoguan walked at the end with a smile on his face, his demeanor was calm and unrestrained, looking at Dong Xiangfang's eyes, this son ...... It's really steady.

Dong Shulan took Fu Xiaoguan and Dong Xiangfang to meet him, and then Dong Shulan introduced it, Fu Xiaoguan saluted Dong Xiangfang again, and everyone took a seat and drank tea.

Dong Xiangfang didn't ask the questions that Fu Xiaoguan thought he would ask, he chatted with Dong Shulan, and occasionally said a few words to Fu Xiaoguan, it didn't involve things in the DPRK and China, it was homely, and Shulan was the pearl of the Dong family, you can't let her be wronged.

Fu Xiaoguan responded one by one, saying that this is his own responsibility, thank you for the care of the elders and so on.

After chatting about the two sticks of incense, seeing that it was not too early, Dong Shulan thanked Dong Xiangfang for leaving them down for dinner, and took Fu Xiaoguan to the last remaining third uncle Yuan Zhen's mansion.

Looking at Fu Xiaoguan's distant back, Dong Xiangfang did not sigh this time, but said to his son Dong Xiuhuai: "This year's Cold Food Festival sent an envoy to the Wu Dynasty Wenhui, and the Yu Dynasty has a quota of 100 people, and my father hopes that you can go once." ”

"...... me?" Dong Xiuhuai's surprise said that he had no confidence in himself, because there were too many talented people in the Yu Dynasty, and there were 5,000 students in the Jixia School Palace alone, among which there were even more talented people in the Lanting Poetry Society, not to mention so many state capitals, counties and counties in the Thirteen Dao of Dayu.

Of course, it is a great honor to be able to represent the Yu Dynasty as an envoy to the Wu Dynasty, and it is a capital to be a jinshi as an official in the future, which is a decision made by Dong Xiangfang after careful consideration.

"On the night of the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, Fu Xiaoguan will definitely go to the Lanting Lantern Festival, and you will go too, by the way...... Invite him and Shulan to come to the mansion as guests. ”

……

As Dong Kangping expected, Dong Xiangfang did not embarrass Fu Xiaoguan, and as Dong Xiulan worried, the third uncle Yuan Zhen did not give Fu Xiaoguan a good face.

At this moment, he asked Fu Xiaoguan a question in front of Dong Shulan: "In what aspects do you think you are better than Yan Xiwen?" ”

Fu Xiaoguan smiled indifferently and touched his nose: "There is a love affair between me and Shulan, I don't think there is any need to compare this kind of thing with anyone." ”

"Hehe......" Yuan Zhen sneered twice, "No need to compare? You don't have a place to take it at all, even if you are very famous for your literary talents, but this kind of thing can be eaten as food? Don't think that if you write a book and write a poem, life is not only poetry, life is more important than power and power! ”

"Yan Beixi, the head of the Yan valve family, was also literary and elegant when he was a teenager, but after he became an official, did he write a few poems? The same is true of Yan Shidao, the three generations of Yan Valve have established their current position in the Yu Dynasty, is this based on poetry and articles? No, it's their position above the court! ”

"Shulan didn't know these things when she was young, she only saw your beauty in front of her, but in my eyes, all your beauty is worthless!"

Yuan Zhen let out a long breath, looking at Fu Xiaoguan, who was still smiling, and his heart became more and more disgusted.

Mrs. Yuan, who was sitting side by side with him, glanced at Fu Xiaoguan, and looked at Dong Shulan with a smile, "Shulan, don't be in a hurry about this matter, men are afraid of entering the wrong line and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, this woman's happiness in her life can be seen this time, you must be cautious." You know that your third uncle is a straight person, but he is also for your good. Your golden phoenix is to live on the plane tree, where is the reason to fly away from the withered grass. ”

"You wait, Xiwen is coming soon, he went to Yao County to make a county order, you haven't seen each other for a long time, wait a while, you can talk about it again, obedient, aunt won't harm you, seeing you jump into the kang, aunt is anxious."

Dong Shulan was very angry.

Fu Xiaoguan and I love each other, what does it matter to you!

actually brought Yan Xiwen here, what does this mean?

Her face was cold and she wanted to give face to the third uncle and third aunt, Fu Xiaoguan grabbed her hand under the table and said, "Oh, Brother Xiwen is also coming?" That's a good thing. ”

Dong Shulan calmed down when she was pinched by Fu Xiaoguan like this, thinking that it was okay if Yan Xiwen came, but he wanted to make a disciple salute to Fu Xiaoguan, so let the third uncle see if Yan Xiwen was good or Fu Xiaoguan was strong!

Yuan Zhen frowned, I don't know the height of the sky, although in Xishan you assisted Yan Xiwen to catch the three rebel leaders and kill 800 heads, but the main credit is Yan Xiwen's, what kind of thing are you?

I think it's Yan Xiwen's kindness, and he mentions you in it, but His Majesty's New Year's reward doesn't have anything to do with you, it is obvious that Yan Xiwen will soon be able to be promoted to Zhizhou, and his future is open and bright, and he is following the same path as his father Yan Shidao.

Yan valve will have a four-phase family in the future, which is a family that has never been seen in the history of the Yu Dynasty for more than 200 years! You actually have the face to say Brother Xiwen, is Brother Xiwen what you can call?

"You don't have to climb the swallow valve, you can't climb it. In fact, I think the most important thing for a person is to have self-knowledge, your father is the largest landlord in Linjiang, and he is also the richest man in Linjiang, and there is no shortage of silver in the family, wouldn't it be good for you to be a rich young master? Why did you think about coming to Beijing to mix with Shulan's future? If you quit now, it's too late, after all, this position has not been decided, otherwise you will provoke Yan Valve...... I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to do that rich young master. ”

The smile on Fu Xiaoguan's face became a little thicker, and he didn't seem to understand Yuan Zhen's words.

"If you don't believe it, I really want to be a rich young master, but my strength doesn't allow it! There is one more thing I have to tell you, you have said so much, you have never thought about why the swallow valve didn't trouble me? ”
