At night, ordinary people have already turned off the lights and fallen asleep, and in the study of the Fuping County Ya, Xie Ping stood at the table and practiced calligraphy, his movements were slow and graceful, far from being comparable to people like Cao Wei who were vassals and elegant.

There are two middle-aged men sitting under the desk, one has delicate skin and a slightly fat body, his eyes are closed at the moment, his brows are slightly furrowed, as if he is thinking about something, and the other is Qiao Dingsu, the head of the Qiao family who went to visit Cao Wei this afternoon.

Both of them knew that Xie Ping didn't like to be disturbed when he was practicing calligraphy, so he waited for him. After Xie Ping finished writing the last piece of paper, he put down the wolf pen and said, "It's so late, Brother Feng and Dingsu came to me together, presumably for that uncle, right?" ”

Qiao Dingsu said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Brother Xie, today the old man went to the other courtyard to test it......"

"Dingsu is the most thoughtful among the three of us, and this temptation must be rewarding!"

Qiao Dingsu pondered for a moment and said: "This uncle treats people kindly, although he looks young, he doesn't have the arrogance that young people should have, and this alone is much better than most young people." ”

Xie Ping was surprised: "To make Dingsu comment like this, this uncle must not be a simple character." ”

"Indeed, he has an unusual bearing, which is by no means possessed by ordinary people, and must be a person in a high position. The old man saw Wei Guogong when he was young, and this grandfather's demeanor, huh...... Rude! Today, the old man deliberately said that Old Man Xu was good at poetry and songs, but he was instantly exposed, and the old man saw that his demeanor was definitely not contrived, and he should be familiar with Old Man Xu.

Moreover, the old man carefully observed the people who followed him, although they were poorly dressed, they were all energetic, extraordinary, and even fierce, which can only be cultivated by large families. The old man is seven or eight points sure that he is indeed in a high position, and he is from Nanjing, as for whether he is really here to play, or if there is another purpose, the old man is not sure. ”

Xie Ping's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and only after a while did he speak: "There are no absolutes in everything, Dingsu has always been cautious, since he has already been seven or eight points sure, he must not be wrong." What's more, it will take about ten days to go back and forth from Fuping County to Nanjing, and maybe this uncle will leave in a few days, so we can't send someone to Nanjing to confirm, so it's better not to make trouble...... Hey, Dingsu, why did your face become so ugly? ”

Qiao Dingsu said indignantly: "The old man was angry at the mention of the whip, the old man wanted Shan'er to serve the uncle and his wife for a few days, and he could save some affection, and he didn't know which bastard was chewing his tongue behind his back...... At that time, the old man's old face really had no place to rest. ”

Xie Ping pointed at Qiao Ding Su and laughed, and the head of the Su family, who had been closing his eyes, also opened his eyes at this time and said with a smile: "Shanshan has become more and more fond of messing around in the past two years, and you don't know how to take care of it, she is so old, and she won't find a family affair for her!" ”

"Don't stand and talk without back pain, you Feng Ye has several daughters, but the old man only has Shan'er, a baby girl, but he can't be used to being spoiled, I also want to find a family for her, and I have introduced young talents to her many times, but the other party was not beaten by her and her nose and face were swollen, and slowly the old man also figured it out, if Shan'er is not willing to marry, the old man will support her for a lifetime."

Xie Ping listened to Qiao Dingsu's words, and felt very uncomfortable, Wan'er would sweetly call herself father when she was a child, and she often picked her up to play, but then she was gradually busy with official business, and slowly became estranged, until Feng came over to propose marriage for his nephew, only to find that Wan'er had grown up and had reached the age of marriage. Now Wan'er's life and death are uncertain, and she blames her incompetent father.

Feng Ye noticed that Xie Ping's demeanor was wrong, sighed, and said: "Brother Xie Xian, Wan'er is a good person, it will be fine, as for escaping marriage, it is just a child's nonsense, and it will not be too late for our two families to marry when Wan'er comes back......."

"Brother Feng, no need! If Wan'er is unwilling to marry, I, Xie Ping, can support her for a lifetime, and now Fuping County is in an eventful season, and the three of us must take care of our own families......" Xie Ping paused and said: "Especially Feng Huai, the youngest son of Brother Feng's family, don't let him have any trouble again!" ”

Feng Ye's face became extremely ugly, he stood up and arched his hand towards the two of them indiscriminately, then opened the door and left.

Qiao Dingsu smiled bitterly: "Brother Xie is unavoidable...... It's too straightforward. ”

Xie Ping snorted coldly and said: "The old man didn't know this Feng Huai's temperament at the beginning, but now that he knows, will he push his own daughter into the fire pit?" ”

"It's better to say it earlier, but don't ruin the friendship between the three of us."

Xie Ping's tone softened and said, "Dingsu, Shanshan's child's marriage should have been decided earlier, and if she doesn't marry out, she will really become an old girl." ”

Qiao Dingsu said with a sad face: "The old man also wants to find her a wishful husband, at least he can control her, otherwise she will be killed by her within a few days of marriage, won't she have to be widowed for the rest of her life?" I think this uncle is a good husband's family, but he has already married, and his wife is still from our Weinan Mansion, and I don't know who is so blessed. ”

Xie Ping frowned and said, "Why didn't you ask his wife where she came from?" ”

"This uncle is very shrewd, I'm afraid he already knows the old man's temptation, but people don't want to deal with me, and it will be even more rude for me to ask his family again."

"Well, it's because I'm not thoughtful, and it's really not appropriate to ask rashly......"

"The old man thinks that this uncle is extraordinary, if Wan'er can marry him, it will be a good match!"

Xie Ping smiled bitterly: "Now that Wan'er is missing, where can I still say such things, I have to send more people out to investigate, maybe I will write to my eldest brother in the capital, and ask him if Wan'er has defected to him." ”

"The old man will also send someone out to help investigate...... Brother Xie, it's getting late, and the old man is leaving! ”

"Dingsu go slowly, I won't send it!"

Qiao Dingsu bowed his hand to leave, Xie Ping sat on the chair in a daze, I don't know how long later, he stood up and closed the doors and windows of the study, and then took a deep breath, lying on the table and falling asleep......

………………………………………………………

Feng Mansion!

As soon as Feng Ye entered the house, he saw his youngest son Feng Huai walking in from outside the door drunk, remembering what Xie Ping said, he couldn't help but be furious: "Rebel, you have reached the age of starting a family, why do you still linger in the brothel of the Qinglou all day long, don't you want to anger the old man?" ”

Feng Huai smiled and said, "Becoming a family? On the day of the wedding, the bride was lost, what kind of family did she become? Foundation? According to the ancestral training of my Feng family, in the future, the family's property will basically be my eldest brother's, so what kind of business will I set up? ”

Feng Ye's tone froze, he sighed, and said, "You are the youngest son of the old man, how can the old man bear you to suffer?" At the beginning, the old man begged your aunt to propose marriage to Xie Ping, the purpose was to let you have a relationship with the Xie family, and with the Xie family as a backer, at least you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”

"The result? Xie Wan, a slut, actually ran away from marriage and lost my face......"

"Be careful!" Feng Ye covered Feng Huai's mouth, and after scanning the surroundings, he said in a low voice: "When Xie Wan is found back, and then marry into the Feng family, it is not up to you to say what you want in the future......

Feng Huai's eyes showed excitement, he broke Feng Ye's hand and said, "Okay, I must let her know how powerful the little master is!" ”

"Don't make trouble these two days, stay at home, our county has recently come to an uncle, you must not provoke!"

Feng Huai sneered: "I, Feng Huai, am not stupid, what kind of uncle, I naturally won't provoke, but other businessmen who have no backing naturally want to eat in their stomachs, even if they are unlucky, no matter what, I always have to plan for my future." ”

Feng Ye looked straight at his young son, didn't say anything after all, sighed, and slowly walked towards the backyard......
