Yunzhou, Luochuan City.

Chu Mansion.

A maid led a young man in a white robe into the side hall.

"Childe, please wait. I'll report to my wife. ”

"There is labor. ”

The boy sat on a mahogany chair with a focused expression.

An hour later, the lady in the maid's mouth has not yet appeared. The boy didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he sat there quietly.

"Madame, you see that he sat upright for an hour, without moving, and his expression was calm and calm, which shows that he is very steady. And the tea is not moved, which shows that he is very cautious. I didn't expect that the Yang family could produce such a talent, which was really unexpected. ”

"It's time to meet him, too. ”

At this time, I saw a middle-aged woman in a purple dress walking into the side hall.

When the young man saw the woman come in, he got up to salute her, and was about to speak, when the woman frowned, and before he did, he said, "How old are you?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be seventeen." ”

The woman said indifferently, "Who else is in the family?"

The young man replied honestly: "Grandpa passed away a year ago, and now only me and my little sister are left in the family." ”

The woman looked up and looked at him coldly, thinking that since the old fellow was dead, there was no need to keep the marriage contract between the two families.

Thinking of this, the woman said coldly: "Back then, the old lady played chess with your grandfather and lost three games in a row, so I ordered a baby kiss with your infant sister. ”

At this point, the young man's right hand was about to be put into his arms, when the woman's eyes were sharp, and she said, "I think so." Since the two old ladies are driving to the west, this marriage will be abandoned. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment, glanced at the woman a few times, and then pressed down the words that came to his mouth.

In the side hall, there was silence for a while.

In the middle of the ring, the woman said in a deep voice, "You give me the marriage certificate." As for the compensation to your Yang family, you will propose it. My Chu family will be as you wish. ”

The boy did not speak, but his hands clenched his shirt tightly, and the scene fell into the woman's eyes. She sneered in her heart, just waiting for the young man to get angry, once he got angry, things would be easier to talk about.

After a moment, the young man looked up at the woman and wondered, "Why?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, and secretly asked such a stupid question. But since that's all it takes, it's natural to have to add more fire to bring the water to a boil.

"There's no why, because my Chu family doesn't agree!"

The young man knew in his heart that since his grandfather's death, the Yang family was no longer the original Yang family.

Marriages between large families are usually political marriages, and they are a good match. Now that the Yang family has declined, this marriage is naturally necessary.

The truth is this, but to abide by the agreement is also a gentleman's doing.

"It's that simple?" the boy asked rhetorically.

The woman sneered, "It's as simple as that!"

The young man pondered for a moment and said calmly: "The little sister was accepted as a disciple by the Five Old Peaks a few years ago due to fate. Last month, the little sister sent someone to spread the word that I would break off the marriage contract with the Chu family. ”

Hearing this, the woman's delicate body shook slightly, the teacup in her hand almost slipped off, and her eyes showed an incredible gaze.

The young man's expression was still calm, and he was not excited by the five old peaks.

Wulao Peak, that is the place where the immortals on the mountain in the Southern Tang Dynasty practice and live. The world has heard of it very little, and the woman has heard it by chance from her husband.

It is said that the current national teacher of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Dao Yan, is from Wulao Peak. Dao Yan's status in the court is transcendent, and even the current emperor treats him with courtesy.

Thinking of what she said before, the woman longed to slap her mouth, for no reason she had lost such a great opportunity.

The young man didn't seem to notice the change in the woman's expression at all, and said lightly: "On the way here, outsiders said that the little marquis was stupid. I don't care, though. The marriage contract was made by my grandfather, and my Yang family naturally kept the contract. So I rejected Goromine's request. ”

The woman was overjoyed and sneered, "This is the best." Otherwise, now that Master Hou is at the border, I will repair a book and start preparing for marriage in the near future, how about it?"

The young man glanced at her and said lightly, "Now, I have changed my mind." ”

There was a crisp "pop", and the woman was shocked and accidentally slammed the teacup on the table, rolled to the ground, and shattered to the ground.

The woman asked in a trembling voice, "Why?"

The boy stood up and saluted, did not answer such a question, and was about to turn and walk out of the side hall.

At this moment, a stupid-looking young master rushed in. Accidentally, I bumped into the teenager.

"Hehehe..."

The young master looked at the scholar-like young man in front of him and laughed stupidly.

The boy looked at him as well, smiled on his face, and reached out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

"Brother, let's go?"

The boy nodded and said, "Let's go!"

"Brother, don't you play with me?"

The boy smiled and said, "Next time, I'll come and play with you!"

"Oh. Alright!"

The young man suddenly turned around, looked at the woman sitting in the hall, and said seriously: "Two years later, the little sister went down the mountain to visit relatives, whether to dissolve the marriage contract is not with me." ”

After saying this, the young man paid no attention to the woman and left directly.

The boy hadn't walked long before he saw an old man in his sixties walk in.

"Steward Liu, what do you think?"

Steward Liu groaned: "This son has an extraordinary heart, and he is committed to it, and his character is very good. ”

The woman smiled bitterly and said, "In your opinion?"

Steward Liu pondered for a moment and said, "If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing." Although the Yang family is in decline, some favors are still there. If he can make a name for himself in next year's spring, according to the old slave's humble opinion, it is worth cultivating. ”

The woman nodded and said, "Then do as you say." Send someone to keep an eye on him, and report the situation at any time. ”

"Yes, ma'am!"

The woman looked up at him, and when she saw that he was about to speak, she asked, "Say anything you want."

Steward Liu smiled and said: "Don't hide it from Madame, the old slave has been working in the Chu family since he was a child, and now he has been working for more than sixty years. But in the past two years, the older I get, the more confused I become, and I can't do many things, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on the position of housekeeper again. ”

The woman frowned slightly and asked, "The old lady mentioned this matter to me once. But someone has to do it?"

Steward Liu smiled and said, "Madam, Young Master Han is talented and intelligent, and he is very quick to get started, it's time to put a burden on him." ”

The woman's brows stretched slightly, and she smiled faintly: "Qingya, this child is indeed good. But after all, too young and underqualified, I'm afraid those subordinates won't be convinced. Besides, there are too many and too deep doorways in this, and if you don't handle it well, there will be problems. ”

Steward Liu insisted: "That being said. But with the lady behind him, and the young master follows the implementation, there shouldn't be any problems. ”

The woman sighed a few times and said helplessly: "If you return to my hometown, I won't have a peaceful birthday." ”

Steward Liu smiled and said, "Madame said that she was laughing." ”

"Also, don't mention today's events to the old lady. The woman lowered her voice.

Steward Liu nodded and said, "Yes, madam." ”

After Steward Liu left, the woman turned her head to look at Chu Yi, who was sitting on the ground eating pastries, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

If this fool dies unexpectedly, then find a way to replace Li Zhuang and let her son Chu Huai marry the girl of the Yang family.

At that time, the Chu family has five old peaks as backers, and it must be one person under ten thousand people.

Maybe...

The thought of those supreme longings made the woman's eyes seem to shine with a thousand rays of light.

That night, the woman wrote a letter by herself, and immediately asked her confidant to quickly inform Chu Huai, who was far away at the border, of the matter.
