Xia Ziyan nodded thoughtfully, it turned out that there was a gap in temperament.

"Old man, are you going to wait for Ouyang Linxuan here?"

"Well, wait."

"In this case, then you must have something more important to look for him, and I don't know when he will come back, whether he will sit in the hall and have a cup of tea, etc."

"This, you still want here... Look at the fish? ”

"Don't look at it, I'm just bored, I'll wait in the hall with you."

"Okay, okay."

···

···

When they got to the hall and sat down, without Xia Ziyan's instructions, a few little boys who were waiting went to prepare tea.

When Xia Ziyan didn't pay attention, the expressions on the faces of several little boys changed when they saw the old man, and then they were about to make a move, but they didn't do anything when they were hinted by the old man.

At this time, the two sat on the tea party, and the old man asked Xia Ziyan with a very kind smile, "Miss Xia, but are you married?" ”

"Nope." Xia Ziyan shook her head.

"How is this possible? Miss Xia's condition is quite good..." The old man just made a tentative inquiry, but he didn't believe it at this time, and he was very surprised.

"No one says I'm going to get married before I'm sixteen." Xia Ziyan said with a smile, the law here is that you must marry at least one husband from the age of sixteen.

However, she is not yet sixteen.

"Hehehe... That's too, but what about the squires around you? How did I not see it. The old man smiled, and then changed his sentence and looked at Xia Ziyan with a very curious look.

"Nope." Xia Ziyan understood what kind of so-called attendant the old man was, and she was a little helpless.

It wasn't the first time she'd received such a look of surprise.

The first time was that Sister Meng showed such a look, then Doctor Chu, and then Ouyang Linxuan's master and servant, as if she was equivalent to a monster without an attendant.

The old man looked at Xia Ziyan in astonishment, "Miss Xia, are you serious?" ”

Xia Ziyan wondered, what did this old man do with such a big reaction.

Seeing that she was looking at herself full of doubts, the old man smiled and said, "Looking at Miss Xia's appearance, she is about to be sixteen." ”

"Well, it's still a few months." Xia Ziyan nodded.

"But there are betrothed people? Old man, can I also drink Miss Xia's wedding wine? The old man smiled as if joking.

"No, it's still early, wait until I find someone I want to marry, it's still early, I have to marry one at the age of sixteen, then if I can't find it, I can get married again at the age of sixteen and the last month of the age of seventeen, don't worry." Xia Ziyan smiled slightly and said slyly.

The old man was surprised, and then laughed, "At this time, many girls are in a hurry to get married before the age of sixteen, but when it comes to you, it is the opposite." ”

"Everybody thinks differently." Xia Ziyan is not surprised at all, she already has a deep understanding of the temperament of women in this era.

"So it's surprising how Miss Xia thinks so differently." The old man said with a smile, looking like he wanted to listen to Xia Ziyan's words.

"I can't just pull a casual marriage on the road, unless we like each other, otherwise how can we be happy if we don't like each other?" Xia Ziyan had no choice but to explain it to others again.

She had already said something similar to it in front of several people.

The old man was surprised in his eyes, but he was a little excited.

"Since you are Ouyang... The young master brought it back, how did you meet? ”

"I met at the post station, when there was a flood, and then I met a bandit, he took me away, and we came together along the way."

"Oh? So, you've known each other for a while, how does Miss Xia feel about my young master? ”

"That's good."

When the old man heard this, his face was even more excited, and he immediately asked, "So, Miss Xia will consider marrying him?" ”

"Nope." Xia Ziyan shook her head, thinking that this old man was so excited, could it be that everyone in the family knew that he had been wronged in his previous marriage, for fear that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, this veteran-level manager could be regarded as watching Ouyang Linxuan grow up, and he was somewhat concerned about the marriage of the young master of his family.

Thinking about it this way, Xia Ziyan felt that she had guessed correctly.

"Didn't Miss Xia say he was fine?" The old man asked some questions that he didn't quite understand, but his eyes were staring at her, not letting go of her look. "Did the girl hear about his past? So..."

"You said he had a problem with his previous marriage? He told me that it was not his fault, and I was not a person who listened to what people said, and I could see that he had a good character.

Although he was good, I didn't know about us... As far as I'm concerned, I'm not sure if I have a friendship between men and women who like him either, if I treat him as a brother-like friend, I don't understand the indiscriminate marriage, and then I found out that I was wrong, it doesn't make us both regret it, and it hurts the man even more, even if it is divorced, it seems to hurt people. Xia Ziyan said as a matter of course.

But it made the old man look at Xia Ziyan in surprise, and he was surprised for a few seconds, and then he looked at Xia Ziyan deeply, "Miss Xia, if anyone marries you, it will be a blessing." ”

"No matter what, I don't know what will happen in the future, marriage is managed by each other, if I change from single to married, I don't know what it will be like to be together, no experience." Xia Ziyan said very honestly.

The old man smiled, "Miss Xia, it's better to get married early, and you will know it slowly." ”

"Then I'll wait until I really find someone with feelings in the future." Xia Ziyan smiled.

The old man smiled, but he became more and more kind to Xia Ziyan.

"Miss Xia is really good at thinking about others and being empathetic." The old man's heartfelt compliment, "I'm really curious, how Miss Xia's family cultivated you." ”

"How do you need to cultivate this? Just think about it, if I were a man, I would definitely not marry easily, I always have to think about my feelings and if I encounter any problems, whether the result can be accepted. ”

"Empathy?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly he was stunned, yes, today's women never empathize!

This alone is enough to see the difference in her.

This also chatted for a while, even if she knew that she was a 'subordinate', but she didn't look down on her at all, she was proud and conceited, and she was self-righteous.

It can also be detected in her words that she has a good upbringing.

Looking at a person, some small details and speech and demeanor, you can roughly affirm a person.

In particular, the average woman cannot say such empathetic words.

"Miss Xia is going to the women's school in a few days?" The old man paused and asked.

"Hmm."

"The women who enter it will not be able to leave for at least half a year, and some will live longer, and if they live in, they can't say that they can come out if they go around, and they are not so free." The old man looked at her and smiled slightly.

"Well, I know, but it's not that there's something to learn in it, maybe it's not boring, it's good to learn something." Xia Ziyan said modestly.

"Oh? Miss Xia, what dare you be interested in? Actually, you don't have to go to a women's school, it's called Ouyang... It's good for the young master to invite someone to teach. ”

"No, Doctor Chu, they said at the time that I wanted to go in there, can I not go in and learn things at home?"

"Hehehe... Yes, but if you meet either of these two conditions, you can stay at the women's school and spend your time at home. ”

"Huh? Which two? ”

"First, you can get engaged to someone or marry someone before you go in, so you don't have to go, you can find someone to teach at home. Second, it is that he has a talent that is better than those women, so it doesn't matter if he learns it or not. ”

"Isn't there a master who specializes in teaching people some talents? What level of talent should the so-called outperform other women reach? How many talents do you want? ”

"Sometimes, what the master there teaches is not as good as the people arranged by the big family, and the origin of the women's school, first, is to take in homeless women. Second, by the way, it is to cultivate the girls who are taken in, and improve themselves, generally they themselves are not very literate, or do not know any talent or are not familiar at all. ”

Xia Ziyan was surprised, in this case, there is really nothing to learn there?

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Xia Ziyan still decided to go and see it one day, just go through the motions, if there is really nothing to learn that is of real help, then she will come out again" You mean, if I go through the motions and find that there is nothing to learn in it, if I have the talent to beat those women, I can come out immediately?" “

"Well, so to speak, if you don't choose to marry." The old man nodded.

Xia Ziyan nodded, and she had a bottom in her heart, but at this time, she looked at the old man with interest and said, "Old man, you are helping the young master of your family to talk about matchmaking, you really have the potential to be a matchmaker." ”

This is to tell her that she can stay by Ouyang Linxuan's side all the time, and if she wants to learn something, she can ask Ouyang Linxuan to find a master to teach, and then come, or marry Ouyang Linxuan directly.

In these words, she was persuaded not to go to the women's school.

The old man listened to Xia Ziyan's words, laughed, and did not deny it, "What the old man said is also the truth, and it is true there." In my opinion, Miss Xia is not untalented. ”

"But I don't know what the talent of the master or those women is, if the talent is amazing, I can learn something from it." Xia Ziyan said with a smile.

"Looks like you still want to go and see it." The old man laughed.

Xia Ziyan nodded.

"What will Miss Xia do? Why don't you talk to the old man? The old man laughed.

"Old man, I don't have much to offer, what do you want to talk about? If I could, I could ask for advice, but no, I can't help it. Xia Ziyan didn't refuse, she also thought that if she could talk about the topic, it would be okay to talk to each other, maybe she could learn something from it.

"Hahaha... My old man usually has a lot of hobbies, and he has some contact, especially some text, what does Miss Xia usually have? ”

Xia Ziyan said casually, "Eat all over the world, travel all over the world." That's what she's going to do.

The old man laughed, "If you say that, Miss Xia will read some books on geography and humanities?" ”

"Hmm... There is a little bit to see. ”
