An uncovered carriage drove along the dirt roads in the country, and the horses galloped merrily, the bells around their necks making rhythmic, melodious sounds. The paddy fields on both sides of the road are covered with green seedlings, and the weather in March highlights the charming scene of Jiangnan. Every time he goes out of the city, he goes to the grave, burns paper and incense, and when he is depressed, Deng Zixuan is not in the mood to appreciate the beauty of nature. And this time out of the city is a beautiful difference, and the mood is very different.

Look at the sky is so blue, the air is so refreshing, it seems to have a faint fragrance. Deng Zixuan admired Tian Mo's cottage, the white walls and gray tiles embraced by the greenery, and his mood was particularly comfortable. A family member was driving in front of him, and his mouth kept shouting. When Deng Zixuan looked over, his mother's words sounded in his ears again: "Xuan'er, after the township examination last year, your father set a family affair for you, which is the daughter of a high-ranking person in the Rose Manor outside the city, and the young lady's name is Gao Wan'er." The two families gave a dowry and exchanged eight characters. Originally, I was going to arrange a marriage for you after the Spring Festival, but your father left suddenly. ”

"In such a situation, your marriage must be postponed for three years, and you cannot marry during the three-year period of filial piety. Now that the three sevens have passed, you must go to the Rose Manor and tell the truth about the postponement of the marriage, so as not to let the in-laws know the marriage. Hearing that he was engaged, Deng Zixuan was a little confused, but in the face of his mother, he had to pretend to know about it.

"Young Master! Ahead is the Rose Manor! The driver pointed to the village road surrounded by green trees in front of him. Deng Zixuan recovered from his contemplation, he took off the hat that shaded the sun, and looked towards the village, and from a distance, the scale of the Rose Manor was small, and one of the buildings was very eye-catching. The white courtyard wall and the tall parapet wall appear and disappear under the cover of the tree canopy. A small arched bridge appeared at the entrance of the village, and the carriage had just passed through Deng Zixuan and ordered to stop.

The family asked differently: "Young master! It's time to enter the village, what do we mean by staying here? Deng Zixuan did not answer Jiading's inquiry, but jumped out of the car and came to the side of the creek. The key to the gurgling stream is that the water is crystal clear, which aroused Deng Zixuan's great interest. He squatted beside the stream, picked up the cool water with his hands, rubbed it on his forehead and face a few times, and then took the stream water and drank it.

The sweet smell of the stream enters the abdominal cavity, and it feels so pleasant and comfortable. "Young Master! I didn't know you were thirsty, we brought water that! "Can you shut your mouth, annoying or not!" Deng Zixuan scolded this wordy family member loudly, and the family was reprimanded, he didn't know what he was wrong, and his face showed an aggrieved expression, where did he know that the young master was in another mood.

Without the slightest polluted stream and clean air, Deng Zixuan seemed to be intoxicated. What is the beauty of the mountains and rivers, this era is definitely a true portrayal. He sighed with emotion, and the family thought that the young master was sick again, and he was scared enough. After Deng Zixuan was self-intoxicated, he then instructed the family to pour out the water he brought, and then fill the stream with water and put it on the car. Although the family was confused, the young master's order was that the holy decree must be followed.

Walking into the Rose Manor, you will smell the unique fragrance of roses, and almost every household on both sides of the road is planted with roses, and the Rose Manor really lives up to its name. There are about 20 families in the whole estate, and judging from the condition of the houses they live in, it seems that they are not destitute. Only in the center of the manor is the most ornate house, which is obviously the house of his father-in-law. The carriage stopped in front of a red-painted gate with three steps and two mighty stone lions on the left and right. “haha！ It's very magnificent! ”

I thought that the young master was sick again, but seeing that the young master was fine at this time, the family flattered and said, "Young master!" This exalted person is the title of the gold list in the Xianfeng period, if it weren't for the long hair, I'm afraid I would have been an official a long time ago. The thousands of acres of land in this square area are all exalted, and the villagers of the Rose Manor are all tenants. Deng Zixuan was a little puzzled, exalting people and wealth, weishenme and the Deng family were married? It is common sense in any era that the door is not the right household, and it is common sense that one's family is a well-off family, and it is somewhat unreasonable to have no power and power. In confusion, the family stepped forward to report.

At this time, Gao Juren and his wife were sitting on the Taishi chair in the hall and chatting. Madame asked, "Sir! Seeing that March has passed, the Weishenme Deng family did not come to discuss the marriage date, could there be something wrong? "It should be here these days!" Chubby high-minded man, about 60 years old, with two eyes that are neither big nor small. Although you are a nobleman, you can't see the spirit of the book, and your demeanor is more like that of a rich man.

"Wan'er is 18 years old this year, and she is not young, so it is easy to marry early!" Madame was a little babbling. Gao Juren said with some disdain: "If it weren't for the long hair that year, we hid in the concession and were taken care of by the Deng family, I will never agree to this family business!" "My uncle was the third place in the township test last year, and there must be no problem with the nomination on the spring list this time, but it has been more than a month, and there is no news at all. I said to send someone to inquire, but you don't want to save face, there is no news, it's really worrying! Madame grumbled.

Just as the person was about to answer, a subordinate walked in excitedly and said, "Master, madam, the second son of the Deng family is here and is waiting outside!" "Quick! Welcome the second son in immediately! "I heard that the prospective aunt is coming, and the lady got up excitedly and was about to go out." Wait! Let him in on his own! The exalted person did not move, and frowned when he saw the lady's mannerism. Madame saw that the old man was dissatisfied, so she had to sit down anew.

Deng Zixuan came in to greet him, and then told him how he fainted in the spring examination room, how he was demonic, and how his father was angry and bloody. When Gao Juren heard that Old Man Deng was dead, he showed a sad and sad look on the surface, but he was fighting in his heart. The prospective aunt in front of him not only failed in the examination room, not to mention Xiucai, but also had a sudden demonic disease, which instantly made Gao Juren have the idea of quitting the marriage.

Deng Zixuan saw the change in the demeanor of the exalted person, and guessed the thoughts of his future father-in-law in his heart: "The elders are above, and the younger generations are brave enough to speak." Since the marriage contract between our two families is first, it cannot be changed. When the father is gone, the younger generations must keep filial piety for three years, and the ancient legacy must be observed. Three years later, I will never break my promise to marry Miss. I have a request if I will be allowed to meet with the lady and speak to her in person. In fact, Deng Zixuan wanted to meet Wan'er and see what his future bride looked like, otherwise he would have trouble sleeping.

"No! You can't meet the young lady until you get married! Gao Juren refused, he was a little annoyed and angry, he didn't expect that the prospective aunt in front of him guessed his thoughts, and he had to say that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage. The mother-in-law likes Deng Zixuan a little, not only because of her long eyebrows and clear eyes, but because Fang Cai's words moved her. "Kid! It's a long way, the meal is ready, and you can rest after eating! Deng Zixuan secretly observed the mother-in-law-to-be, although the mother-in-law was old, but there was still a shadow of charm. According to genetics, the daughter she gave birth to must have been beautiful as well.

Gao Juren stood up and said coldly: "It's okay to keep filial piety for three years, but I have a requirement, after three years, you must be admitted to Xiucai, otherwise the marriage contract between the two families will be canceled." My daughter can't marry a useless person! In addition, I have one more request, if you can be a son-in-law, I will raise my noble hand! Looking at the back of the departing person, Deng Zixuan still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be angry at all. The mother-in-law was a little reluctant and said: "It's really difficult for you, rest tonight and go back tomorrow!" ”

The Gao family has three daughters, but unfortunately there is no son. Both daughters were married to officials, and the youngest daughter became his heart disease. In fact, the exaltation person wants to recruit a door-to-door son-in-law, otherwise who will leave the huge family business to? Hearing the son-in-law, Deng Zixuan's heart moved, it doesn't matter if he is a son-in-law or not, the key is that when he sees that the Gao family is so rich, his heart is turbulent, and now he must use all means to create conditions for his own move, which is the most knowing.

After dinner, the sky was still bright. Deng Zixuan was lying on his clothes and wandering, it seemed that his father-in-law's light would not be stained in three years, and he was a little depressed when he thought of this. The rich fragrance of roses wafted in from the window, and Deng Zixuan simply got up and walked out of the room. The yard was full of roses, and it seemed that the exalted man loved roses. The manor is called the Rose Manor, and countless roses are planted in the manor, and it lives up to its name.

Deng Zixuan came to a wall, and suddenly heard a woman's laughter from the other side of the wall. Deng Zixuan was curious, so he climbed the wall to check, and found that there was a shelf standing on a flat ground, a woman was sitting on the swing, and the two women next to him pushed hard one left and one right, and the woman on the swing couldn't stop exclaiming and laughing. "Is that woman Wan'er?" Deng Zixuan couldn't help but climb over the wall and quietly hide among the flowers and peep.

The woman's face on the swing was pink, the cherry mouth was willow eyebrows, and there were two small dimples when she smiled, Deng Zixuan was almost late, and secretly exclaimed that there was such a beautiful woman in the world. He couldn't help but get up from the flowers, and when he heard the movement, the women's eyes shot at him. The two maids' eyes widened in surprise, and they hurriedly grabbed the swing and protected it in front of the young lady. "Beautiful young lady, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!" "Who are you, how did you get here!" A maid asked sharply.

"I am the second son of the Deng family, and my name is Deng Zixuan. Excuse me, Miss is Wan'er! The woman sitting on the swing immediately panicked when she heard this, stood up with a flushed face, and perhaps made a blessing first: "Could it be that the guest who came today is you?" "Yes! I'm Zixuan! Wan'er couldn't help but glance left and right, and softly ordered the two maids to look at the wind.

"I'm Wan'er, and Xianggong is here for the engagement period?" Wan'er asked softly, lowering her head and eyes not daring to look. "Great, finally seeing you. My father died, and I came to tell me that I would keep filial piety for three years, and I would marry you after three years. Wan'er, don't worry, three years will pass soon, and I will definitely marry you! After speaking, Deng Zixuan boldly took Wan'er's hand.

Wan'er suddenly panicked, as if she had been overpowered, and soon Wan'er regained consciousness and tried to break free of her hand, but was grabbed by Deng Zixuan, and took Wan'er into her arms and said: "Wan'er, you are so beautiful, the bride of my dream is you." I am relieved to see you, we will not be separated in this life and this life! The first time she was hugged by a man and listened to the words of the flesh, Wan'er's body became soft, and the feeling of happiness and dizziness overflowed her whole body.

I don't know how long it took, Wan'er suddenly woke up and said, "Xianggong, go quickly!" If Daddy finds out, he'll punish you! "I'm not afraid! I don't hesitate to go to the soup for you! With such a bold confession, Wan'er was dizzy again. Deng Zixuan knew that after Wan'er was hugged by herself, her heart already belonged to her. Then Deng Zixuan and Wan'er sat on the swing, holding hands and talking intimately.

How to win the girl's favor, Deng Zixuan is a veteran. Suddenly, Deng Zixuan remembered something, so he said shamelessly: "Wan'er! I need silver right now, I need to buy a lot of books, can you help me? Wan'er showed an embarrassed expression when he heard this, and then said decisively: "Xianggong, I don't have any silver by my side, are you waiting?" After a while, Wan'er took the jewelry box and said, "I have jewelry here, maybe it can be worth it for you to sell it urgently!" ”

"Lady! Too xiexie you! Deng Zixuan suddenly changed his name, took out his handkerchief casually, bit his middle finger with his mouth, and wrote on the handscroll with blood: Swear an alliance and never separate! Then Deng Zixuan solemnly stuffed the handkerchief to Wan'er and turned to leave. Wan'er held the handkerchief, from the initial shyness, she was instantly moved and couldn't help but shed tears......
