Volume 2 Returning to Hometown Chapter 55 The First Meeting with the Wife (Part II)
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Li Zhi and the others looked around boredly.
Just see this small courtyard around, simple and elegant, the scenery is beautiful, on both sides of the front of the courtyard, there are also some unknown flowers and plants, with the breeze blowing, a burst of faint fragrance comes, smell, it is refreshing.
While the two of them were silently enjoying the peace, the servant who led the way came out.
"Two sons, my lord is invited."
"In this way, there will be work."
Li Zhi was polite, and walked into the courtyard with the servant.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw a huge plane tree in the center of the courtyard, and there was a pair of stone tables and benches under the tree.
At this time, there is an old man with white hair and elegant face, who is sitting on the stone bench leisurely drinking tea, and behind him, there is a woman wearing a white skirt, a gentle complexion, and a temperament like water, who is waiting around him.
Seeing Li Zhi and the others coming in, the old man stood up slowly.
When Li Zhi and the others saw the old man get up, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down and saluted: "The junior Li Zhi (Guo Jia) Li Xingzhi (Guo Fengxiao) has seen Hengkang Gong (teacher). ”
Xun Jian nodded slowly, and gave them a little help to let them get up.
"But it's neglecting the two virtuous nephews, please sit down."
When the two heard this, they carefully sat on the stone benches on both sides, because they were a little nervous, but they didn't sit down, but only touched a little.
Xun Jian may have seen that the two of them were a little nervous, so he smiled and comforted: "The two virtuous nephews don't need to be nervous, the old man is not a man-eating monster, why are you so afraid of the old man?" ”
Speaking of this, Mr. Xun Jian pointed his finger at Guo Jia and said jokingly: "Fengxiao boy, the old man is the virtuous nephew of Taishan, and it is understandable that the virtuous nephew of Xingzhi is nervous.
You, a naughty boy who can fall asleep in the old man's class, are actually nervous? It made the old man surprised. ”
Mr. Xun Jian's words made Guo Jia so ashamed that his face turned red and he begged for mercy.
"Please be merciful to the teacher, who can be without fault if you are not a sage?
In the past, Jia was indeed a little stubborn, but now that Jia has reformed, I hope that the teacher will not use this matter to shame Jia again in the future. ”
After speaking, Guo Jia bowed down again and made a big salute.
"Rehabilitation?"
Old Mr. Xun Jian sneered and glanced at him, his face full of disbelief.
"Disciple... Disciple ......"
Guo Jia was so blocked by Mr. Xun Jian that he couldn't speak, he knew his own affairs, his nature was like this, and there was really no change compared to before.
But he himself doesn't plan to change it, because if he does, then he won't be Guo Jia.
Li Zhi on the side saw that Guo Jia couldn't get off the stage, so he started a round.
"Don't blame the boss, Brother Feng Xiaoxian studied here in the past, and what he did was not disrespectful to the boss, but his nature is like this, and I hope the boss will not blame."
Hearing this, Mr. Xun Jian first glanced at the two of them strangely, and then laughed.
"Hahaha...... The two virtuous nephews don't have to be like this, the old man is just joking with the two virtuous nephews, why be so nervous. ”
"Huh, ......" The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
In Li Zhi's opinion, facing this old gentleman made him more nervous than facing Liu Hong, Emperor of Han Ling.
After laughing, Mr. Xun Jian said to the woman who was standing aside and waiting: "Yuan'er, why don't you go and meet your brother." ”
Saying that, the old gentleman was still quite naughty, and winked at Li Zhi.
The woman's face turned red, she lowered her head and smiled shyly, and bowed to Li Zhifu.
"Xun Yuan of the slave family has seen my brother."
Seeing this, Li Zhi glanced at the old gentleman quite unexpectedly, and was surprised to see that the old gentleman Xun Jian was smiling and silent.
Not surprisingly, the woman in front of him was his future wife, and he thought it would take some means to see her.
But he didn't expect he, the old man of Taishan, to be so open-minded.
However, at this time, Li Zhi couldn't be allowed to think too much, so he quickly helped him.
"Sister Shimei is very polite, and Li Xingzhi is polite in Xia Li."
As he spoke, Li Zhi bowed slightly.
Xun Yuan replied with a shy face: "Brother Shi, please get up quickly, you don't have to be so polite." ”
Xun Jian looked at the two of them from the side, and saw that they were as satisfied as golden boys and girls.
Originally, he still had some disdain for Li Zhi, a junior who was born as a businessman, but at that time, it was Xun Shuang, the head of the Xun family, who made the decision, and he had no choice but to marry his daughter to Li Zhi.
Looking at Li Zhi now, he is very satisfied, in the past few days, the news of Luoyang has come over.
As far as he knew, Li Zhi not only won the reputation of the first genius in Luoyang, but also won the nickname of a three-peer son, and finally was named an ancient countryman by His Majesty today.
Moreover, through Xun's private channels, he learned that the punishment of Cao Jie was also coordinated by Li Zhi behind the scenes.
is so brave and resourceful, and the younger generation who has already achieved fame is indeed a good match for his daughter, which makes the old gentleman very satisfied.
Whenever he thought of this, although the old gentleman didn't say it, he was very grateful to Xun Shuang in his heart, and some dirty things between the two of them in the past also passed with a smile.
Mr. Xun Jian saw that the two of them couldn't let go, so he said to Guo Jia on the side: "Fengxiao boy, have you ever fallen behind in your homework in the past few days?" Let's go, follow the old man to the study, and the old man will test you. ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he looked at Li Zhi and Xun Yuan, as if he understood something.
Immediately, Guo Jia replied to Xun Jian: "What the teacher said is very true, and you should really take the "school test" well. ”
After speaking, he blinked narrowly at Li Zhiqiu.
Seeing that Guo Jia was funny, Mr. Xun Jian shook his head, raised his right hand, and tapped his head with his fingers.
"You......! Don't say more, come with the old man. ”
After speaking, the old gentleman took Guo Jia and left.
At this time, only Li Zhi and the others were left in the courtyard, both of them were silent, and the scene was a little embarrassing.
Seeing this, Li Zhi coughed dryly, breaking the peace in the courtyard.
"Ahem! Can Shimei take her brother and enjoy the scenery of Shimei's home? ”
Xun Yuan saw him speak, looked up at him, and then lowered his head shyly, and said in a glutinous whisper: "There is a small garden in the slave family, and my father likes flowers and plants very much, so he transplanted many strange flowers and plants.
Now it's summertime, and it's already blooming very gorgeously, so it's better to... The slave family took the world brother to watch? ”
After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Li Zhi cautiously with expectant eyes.
Li Zhiyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he didn't know how to plant flowers and plants, but he liked to appreciate these very much, so he smiled.
"Good! I also like exotic flowers and plants very much, so there is Lao Shimei to lead the way. ”
Xun Yuan's face turned red when he saw his smile, smiled shyly, and without saying anything, he led the way in front of his head.
When the two of them came to the gate of the garden, before they entered the garden, there was a unique fragrance of flowers and plants, wafting from the garden.
Hearing this, Li Zhi felt comfortable for a while, and he couldn't wait to open the garden gate, and what came into his eyes was a colorful and colorful scene.
This garden is not very large, but it is very well designed.
There is a small pond in the center of the garden, the pond is planted with lotus flowers, the growth is very luxuriant, there are a few pink flower bones dotted among them, under the lotus leaves, from time to time you can also see a few golden fish swimming happily there.
Around the pond, there are strange flowers and plants, which are also in full bloom at this time, and among the flowers and plants, some dwarf trees are planted as decorations, giving people a sense of tranquility and far-reaching.
Seeing this scene, Li Zhi was unwilling to break the atmosphere, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare tranquility.
Xun Yuan saw that he closed his eyes and didn't want to speak, so he didn't bother, just looked at him secretly.
After looking at it for a while, she didn't know what she thought, and she lowered her head shyly with a flushed face......
