As a high-level servant, Yang Kuan naturally couldn't understand the current complicated and hesitant mentality of his master Yang Qi.

In the marriage of his daughter Yang Xueruo, he is still vacillating between Kong Sheng and Zhou Chang. If it weren't for the temptation of Yixing Zhou's "half of the family wealth", he might not have this kind of swing, he still leaned towards Kong Sheng, and was optimistic that Kong Sheng would become a climate in the future.

Zhou Chang's advantage is that there is a big family with strong financial resources behind him, a wealthy family in Jiangnan. And if Yang Qi wants to become a big thing, he will definitely need a steady stream of financial support in the future, and Zhou's initiative to take the initiative is naturally a relief in the snow. But Zhou Chang's talent and character are slightly inferior in Yang Qi's heart, considering that he is the only daughter, his daughter's happiness in the future should not be underestimated.

Kong Sheng's advantage lies entirely in his talent and fame. Yang Qi knew better than anyone else that if he came forward to recommend Kong Sheng, it would not be difficult to get an official position by virtue of Kong Sheng's talent. Considering that Kong Sheng is still a lay disciple of Bai Yunzi Sima Chengzhen, Sima Chengzhen is friendly with the powerful people in the DPRK and China, if Sima Chengzhen personally recommends mediation, Kong Sheng will not be able to obtain a more ideal future in the future.

But Kong Sheng's disadvantages are also obvious, down-and-out children, alone, lonely, and the future is full of too many unknowns and variables.

Therefore, Yang Qi weighed again and again and couldn't make up his mind.

But there is another important point: whether Yang Qi chooses Kong Sheng as the son-in-law of the Yang family or not, his desire to keep Yang Qi in captivity to serve him is getting stronger and stronger.

Kong Sheng is both civil and military, and he has a natural brute force, so brave and ruthless, if he does something big in the future, Kong Sheng can naturally become a pawn of the Yang family and charge forward for the great cause of the Yang family.

From this point of view, Yang Qi did not want to see Kong Sheng have an accident. Not only that, but he will spare no effort to win over Kong Sheng, so that Kong Sheng will join the Yang family and die for the Yang family. For Yang Qi, the entry point to win over Kong Sheng, if it is not a marriage, it is the friendship between the two families.

In the evening, Yang Kuan, the chief butler of the Yang Mansion, crossed the street and went to the Shunsheng Inn to deliver wine and food to Kong Sheng, and the news spread to another inn, and Zhou Chang's father and son immediately changed their faces.

Anyone can see that this is Yang Qi's deliberate, and the purpose can be imagined. Zhou An'an's hair was tight, as if he had been hit by a big stick from Yang Mansion, his head was clouded and he was weak, but he was full of shame and couldn't say that he was dumb and bitter.

And Liu Jun's Shouwen newspaper secretly said that it was a fluke, but fortunately he did not act rashly, otherwise it would have been difficult to end. As for his son Liu Nian, he has been ordered to be locked in a secret room, and it is strictly forbidden to go out to cause trouble.

Yang Kuan ordered his servants to deliver the wine and food to the Shunsheng Inn, and he didn't bother to enter the door to say anything to Kong Sheng, so he left hastily. He didn't know that Yang Xueruo's maid Hongmian was in Kong Sheng's room, unable to dodge, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the box of wine and food sent in by the inn guys, Kong Sheng's calm expression made a slight wave. Yang Qi's gestures and intentions can be seen by fools, but why Yang Qi did this is something that Kong Sheng has to think carefully.

The red cotton tree is happy, and his own lord sent someone to deliver wine and food to Kong Sheng, which seems to mean that it is not impossible for Kong Sheng to become the son-in-law of the Yang Mansion.

She grinned and said, "Kong Xiaolang, our lord and young lady are really benevolent and righteous to you, you don't have to know what to do." By the way, you hurry up and write a reply, Miss is still waiting for me to reply! ”

Kong Sheng was silent.

Hongmian was a little impatient and dissatisfied: "Hey, Kong Sheng-Kong Sheng!" Did you hear the words of the slave?! ”

Kong Sheng looked up at the Cotton Tree, let out a sigh, and said softly: "Girl Cotton Tree, I need to read your young lady's letter slowly before I can reply." You go back first, and tomorrow afternoon, you come to get the letter back. ”

Hongmian stomped his feet: "You are perfunctory!" No, you have to reply immediately, Miss is still waiting! ”

Kong Sheng frowned, and his voice sank: "Red cotton, a hasty reply is a blasphemy against Miss's kindness, do you want me to be like this?" ”

Cotton Tree was speechless for a while, pouted, and then pouted and turned away.

Seeing that the red cotton was gone, Kong Sheng walked over and closed the door tightly, looking a little helpless and dignified. Yang Xueruo has been sending Kapok to take the initiative to express her love recently, and her enthusiasm is so hot that Kong Sheng is a little overwhelmed.

For Yang Xueruo, Kong Sheng didn't have too deep a bad feeling. In the past, the Yang Mansion's contempt for Kong Sheng was actually not without reason, in the past, that guy was so prodigal, what kind of good face could he expect from others?

Therefore, even if the Yang family forced him to withdraw from the marriage in public, Kong Sheng was also very calm in his heart, and it was his wish to dissolve the marriage contract. It is nothing more than Yang Qi's hypocritical and gloomy style and methods, which makes Kong Sheng disdainful.

Kong Sheng's "counterattack" at the Wangjianglou Poetry Conference was, in the final analysis, a plan to "save himself" and correct his name, rather than a revenge on the Yang family.

But what Kong Sheng didn't expect was that this aroused Miss Yang's tenacious and persistent admiration. Although the newborn Kong Sheng can't talk about feelings and likes for Yang Xueruo, such a peerless beauty with both talent and appearance frequently sends olive branches of love, and he doesn't want to speak ill of each other anyway.

However, Kong Sheng wanted to draw a line with the Yang family in his heart, and he wanted to say goodbye to the past completely. It is simply impossible to be the son-in-law of the Yang Mansion again. Besides, it is difficult to say whether Yang Qi really wants to get married.

What's more, he knows that he won't stay in Jiangnan for long. At most, by the beginning of next year, the "foreshadowing" he worked hard for will show its effect, and if there is news from the court, he will devote himself to the future strategy, and at this moment, it is not appropriate to get involved in the private affairs of his children.

He didn't have the time, the mental preparation and the leisure.

He had already rejected Yang Xueruo's love in his reply. But because of this, she was exchanged for a more violent "attack", and the open feelings of women in the Tang Dynasty and the persistence of chasing love opened Kong Sheng's eyes.

Even if he continues to refuse, I'm afraid Yang Xueruo won't take it to heart. In a sense, if Yang Xue is a very persistent and courageous girl, she will not give up easily if she recognizes the wishful husband and the destiny of life.

She knew that Kong Sheng could not have the so-called "former sea", and she thought that the reason why Kong Sheng rejected her love was nothing more than because of the unbearable past events in the past, and he was obsessed with the snubbing of the Yang family - the girl wanted to resolve the resentment in his heart through her persistence and tenderness like water. Therefore, the more Kong Sheng refused, the more persistent she became.

After figuring out this layer, Kong Sheng was really a little ridiculous.

He unfolded Yang Xueruo's letter, the girl's handwriting and sincere and natural expression of love, like a trickle and spring breeze and rain in his whole body blood moisturizing and flowing, he couldn't help but sigh softly, pushed the door out, stood in the corridor and looked up at the vast autumn night starry sky, his mind was about to leave, and it was even more ethereal.
