After lunch, the two went back to the house to rest, and followed Ouyang Qianru towards the main courtyard almost an hour later.

The Ouyang family's mansion is very large, and the people living in the three rooms are still very empty. The scenery along the way is beautiful, and there is a kind of quaint atmosphere everywhere.

The maids they met on the way saluted, and soon the news of their going to the main courtyard spread in the house. Those who were curious about Lin Zhuohua and the others came out and wanted to have a chance encounter.

The main courtyard also got the news that the head of the Ouyang family was playing chess with his son.

"That girl is finally willing to bring someone to see me, and I can see that he likes those two children very much, and he doesn't even give them face in the second room."

Ouyang Fanyue put the sunspot on the chessboard and said with a smile: "The little sister has the same temperament as her father, and she is the most short-sighted. She didn't like Ziqiao's girl, so naturally she wouldn't give the other party face. ”

The head of the Ouyang family sighed when he heard this, and left the white son behind.

"If she hadn't been born in the Ouyang family, I'm afraid she would have to suffer a lot. Your sister is not too young, but she still doesn't want to get married, and this time the other three major families came over, and her father also had the idea of choosing a husband for her. ”

Ouyang Qianru is the youngest in the family, and her age is not too big, the girls of the four major families are all expensive, and many girls are not married to her as old, but most of them are married.

When it comes to the marriage of the little sister, Ouyang Fanyue is also very helpless.

"I heard that the third lady of the Nangong family will also come, and I don't know what happened back then, but my sister still cares about ......"

If you want him to say what's so good about that man, he is really eating in the pot and looking at the pot. There is also the third lady of the Nangong family, who is scheming at first glance, and her sister is not as good as others, that's for sure.

"Your sister is free and easy by nature, and she will definitely not be haunted by it after so many years, I heard that the three girls of the Nangong family are pregnant."

Ouyang Fanyue pursed his lips when he heard this: "I think it's a lifelong matter for my sister, so I still have to discuss it with you." ”

After that incident, it didn't take long for my sister to leave home and go to the Royal Women's Academy in Jingguo to serve as the husband of the martial arts, and she came back once or twice a year, and only stayed for a few days each time. He was really afraid that if his father decided her marriage without authorization this time, he would not let his sister not come back.

"Don't worry, my father knows what your sister's temperament is like, I don't know yet?"

The father and son were chatting when they saw the steward of the main courtyard hurrying over, saluting and respectfully reporting the matter.

"The head of the family, the fourth master, the eldest lady asks to see you."

"Bring someone here!" The head of the Ouyang family was still playing chess indifferently, casually commanding.

The steward received the order and bowed down.

After a while, Ouyang Qianru slowly walked over with the two of them.

Lin Zhuohua raised his eyes and saw two people sitting under the big tree not far away, with somewhat similar faces, both of them handsome and extraordinary. And among them are some of the younger men. She looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Just when she was wondering, the three of them had already walked in front of them.

"I've seen my father, fourth brother."

Lin Zhuohua came back to his senses and immediately saluted with Feng Shuhui.

"The little girl has seen the head of the Ouyang family and the fourth master."

The head of the Ouyang family did not have a serious look on his face, but was like a kind elder, and his voice was gentle and good.

"Get up, you just Ru'er received a personal disciple, right?"

The head of the Ouyang family looked at the two young girls in front of him, her eyes were clean and clear, and her small appearance was even more beautiful. It makes people happy when they look at it, especially in the face of him, the calmness and calmness of the two are even rarer.

Lin Zhuohua showed a well-behaved smile and nodded: "Back to the Ouyang family master, Zhuohua and Shuhui are the personal disciples of the beauty master. ”

Hearing Lin Zhuohua's answer, Ouyang's family suddenly let out a hearty laugh.

"Master Beauty? Well, that's a good name! Suitable for Ru'er, for the father, I feel that my son seems to be more beautiful after not seeing me for a while. ”

Ouyang Qianru twitched the corners of her mouth secretly, feeling very speechless at her father's not very modest answer.

Lin Zhuohua's smile was indeed a little sweeter, and he didn't see that the head of the Ouyang family was still a daughter. Seeing that she was just a little bit of a beautiful master, the head of the Ouyang family was so happy.

Ouyang Qianru coughed lightly and said, "My daughter came here today to tell you, I will go out to travel for a year after the New Year, and my father doesn't have to find someone to let me come back." ”

The head of the Ouyang family was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "That's not good, this time the four major families gathered, but my father plans to choose a husband for you from it." You're not young, it's time to get married, you see your eldest brother and their children are not young! ”

Obviously, Ouyang Qianru didn't expect that she would come over to talk about this today, and she would encounter forced marriage, and she was a little stunned for a while.

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the beauties in a state of bewilderment, and then suddenly realized that her beauty master didn't seem to be particularly old, and he was in his twenties.

If you put it outside, you may already be an old girl who can't get married, and some of them are already a few years old at this age. But it seems that there are no hidden families, and there are even people who have never married in their lives.

"Father, you promised your mother that your daughter's marriage will be the best for you in the future, and your daughter will only marry the person she likes."

Speaking of the deceased wife, the head of the Ouyang family sighed, and his tone became softer and softer: "If your mother is still alive, she will definitely be very sad to see that you are not married at this age." ”

Looking at the head of the Ouyang family with a sad face, Lin Zhuohua didn't know why he suddenly felt that this person was also a drama spirit.

Sure enough, as Lin Zhuohua expected, his beauty master showed a touch of guilt, and his tone softened.

"Father, it's not that the daughter doesn't want to get married, she just wants to find someone who is in love. That's the case with you and your mother. My daughter has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she naturally wants to do the same. ”

"It's better to take a step back from my father and Xiaoru. This time, if the four major families come, if the father is the one who likes the younger sister and is not disgusted, they will get along with each other first. Of course, if my sister has someone to look at, then everyone is even more happy. ”

Ouyang Yuefan stood up at the right time to play a round, and he naturally hoped that his sister could find a wishful husband for you.

The head of the Ouyang family nodded when he heard this, and seeing that his daughter also agreed, he secretly cast an appreciative look at his son. This kid knows how to observe words and emotions more and more, and he can rest assured that the Ouyang family will hand it over to him in the future.

Lin Zhuohua looked at the eyes of the two fathers and sons of the Ouyang family, and rolled his eyes in his heart, seeing that his beautiful master was jointly fooled by his father and brother.

"Yes, you two little girls seem to have grown a lot stronger than the last time I saw you."

The topic suddenly shifted to her and Feng Shuhui, which made both of them stunned for a moment.

Should the topic change so quickly?

Lin Zhuohua came back to his senses and looked at Ouyang Fanyue who was speaking, this person was about the same age as his father. She felt that this person was familiar before, but now that she sees it clearly, she remembers that this is not the middle-aged beautiful uncle who sent her post.

"My apprentice is naturally not bad." Ouyang Qianru was not surprised at all that her brother praised her apprentices, after all, her two apprentices were very good.

Lin Zhuohua looked at the proud beauty master, and suddenly felt that this was worthy of a family, and his temperament was the same.

"Look at your appearance, then my brother is waiting for your two little apprentices to compete and rush into the top ten." Ouyang Fanyue's eyes flashed with a touch of helplessness, his sister is the daughter of her father, and her mother died every two years after giving birth to her sister, they felt sorry for her, everything followed her, and now she has developed a temperament like her.

Free and uninhibited, never according to common sense to play cards. However, this talent for martial arts inherited from his parents, and he was higher than everyone in the Ouyang family. Now he is only in his twenties, and his martial arts are already the first person in the Ouyang family.

"The top ten is inevitable, but if my two little apprentices break into the top ten, is my brother ready to give them something good?"

"Okay, if these two little girls can enter the top ten, I will give them the two pieces of gold and silver armor in my hand."

A flash of surprise flashed in Lin Zhuohua's eyes, although this gold silk silver armor is not a rare treasure like gold silk soft armor, it is also very precious. Unexpectedly, this middle-aged beautiful uncle made two shots.

Ouyang Qianru nodded, expressing her satisfaction, and then her eyes fell on her father.

A touch of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the Ouyang family master, and he consciously said: "They can enter the top ten, and make an exception for their father to let them enter the fourth floor of the Treasure Pavilion to choose one thing." ”

Ouyang Qianru's eyes lit up instantly, she didn't expect her father to be so generous. Even if it was her, she had only entered the sixth floor of the Treasure Pavilion and chosen her favorite weapon.

Seeing the beauty master's expression, Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui knew that the treasure pavilion must have a lot of good things, but they didn't expect to follow the beauty master to make a trip, and they would gain a lot. Hot Books

As for the necessary premise to break into the top ten, they are also bound to win. If you can't even get into the top ten, then it's a shame to train them so hard for the beauty master.

"Come, Qianru will accompany her father to finish this game of chess."

The head of the Ouyang family drove his son down, and then looked at his daughter with a smile.

Ouyang Qianru was very satisfied, so she was naturally willing to give face to her father, and sat in the position where her brother was originally sitting.

Lin Zhuohua's chess skills are average, looking at the black and white pieces on the chessboard. She was a little surprised in her heart, she didn't get to the master who seemed to have a free and easy temperament first, but he was still a chess master.

Ouyang Fanyue didn't know when he came to the side of the two little girls, and when he saw that they were looking seriously, he whispered.

"My sister has been very smart since she was a child, and she learned to play chess with her father at the age of three. At that time, several brothers and I were very envious of her, but she was too uncertain, and she was hot for three minutes to learn anything, and only this kung fu and chess were very attentive. ”

Hearing this, Lin Zhuohua looked sideways at Ouyang Fanyue, and was about to speak when he was interrupted.

"You are Qianru's apprentices, just call me the fourth uncle."

The two glanced at each other, and then called the fourth uncle obediently.

When this game of chess was over, Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui knew something about the rest of the Ouyang family.

Ouyang Qian looked at the chessboard of the draw and got up: "It's not early, I'll go back first." ”

When the head of the Ouyang family heard this, he glanced at the sky getting darker. It's late autumn now, and the night is getting darker and darker and earlier.

"Will you stay with your father for dinner?"

Ouyang Qianru pondered for a moment when she heard this, and nodded: "Okay." ”

Staying in the main courtyard for dinner, Ouyang Qianru took the two little apprentices back to her courtyard. And those who waited for a chance encounter did not succeed in the end, and left one by one.

Of course, these three masters and apprentices don't know, they are all in a very good mood today, after all, they have gained a lot.

Back in her courtyard, Ouyang Qianru looked at the two of them, thought for a while, and said, "You will rest and rest for the past two days, and when the people from the other three major families come, you will start the competition." ”

Lin Zhuohua and Feng Shuhui nodded, it is still necessary to combine work and rest.

"Alright, let's all go and rest."

She waved her hand and told the two of them to go down. Then he turned around and went back to his inner room to rest.

In the blink of an eye, the people of the Nangong family arrived, and when Lin Zhuohua got up in the morning, he helped his master send some things to the main courtyard, and on the way to the main courtyard, he saw that the housekeeper in the house was leading a group of people in the direction of the main courtyard.

She looked at the Yun Pavilion beside her and asked, "Are those people from the Nangong family?" ”

"Yes, the people of the Nangong family have arrived in the mansion today. At this time, the housekeeper was leading them over to meet the head of the house. Yun Ting said when he heard this.

Lin Zhuohua glanced at the things in his hand and asked, "Let's change the time." ”

It is estimated that when she passed, the head of the Ouyang family should have been entertaining the people of the Nangong family, so she had better not go over to make trouble.

"Miss Zhuohua can hand over the things to the steward of the main courtyard first, and she will send them after the people of the Nangong family leave."

Lin Zhuohua thought about it, so he walked in the direction of the main courtyard.

When she came to the main courtyard, she saw the steward and walked forward slowly.

The steward knows Lin Zhuohua, this is the eldest lady's beloved apprentice. When he saw her coming towards him, he immediately greeted her.

"Miss Zhuohua is looking for the head of the family?"

Lin Zhuohua handed over the things in his hand to the steward, and said softly: "This is what the master asked me to send to the head of the family, I saw that the head of the house had someone to entertain here, so I didn't go in to disturb it, and the troublesome steward would transfer the things to the head of the house in a while." ”

"Okay, Miss Zhuohua, don't worry, the old slave will definitely hand this thing into the hands of the master of the family."

Lin Zhuohua nodded, and then turned around and left with Yun Ting, as if he was not interested in the people and things inside.

In the corridor not far away, a little girl with a sweet face beside Ouyang Ziqiao looked curiously at Lin Zhuohua's departure.

"Ziqiao, who is that girl? It's so good-looking, why haven't you seen it when you came? ”

Ouyang Ziqiao's face changed, and then her mother's words sounded, and her face returned to normal. Snorted coldly and spoke: "That's my aunt's personal disciple, and I don't know what means I used to make my aunt value them so much." ”

"Qianru is an apprentice accepted by your aunt? She actually took in the apprentices? The girl's eyes widened with disbelief. The person she admires the most is Aunt Qianru, who has become the first person in the Ouyang family at the age of twenty, even if the people of the four major families together can surpass her.

Not only the people of the Ouyang family want to worship her as a teacher, but even some of the children of the other three families also hope to have the opportunity to apprentice. But after so many years, I haven't seen her accept apprentices, and everyone already thinks that Ouyang Qianru will never accept apprentices in her life.

"Well, we were surprised when we found out. This time my aunt's apprentice came, everyone was very curious, my aunt treasured her two apprentices, and I only met them once by accident. ”

Ouyang Ziqiao's tone was a little sour.

It's just that the girl only showed a look of pity, and then her eyes lit up again: "If you can let Aunt Qianru take her as an apprentice, then her talent must be very good." The family said that Aunt Qianru's requirements for accepting apprentices were extremely high. ”

Ouyang Ziqiao looked at the girl beside her, and a touch of displeasure flashed in her eyes. secretly complained in his heart that the other party was a fool, and they were in competition with those two. My aunt accepted them as her own disciples, so she wouldn't accept anyone else, she was so happy.

I really don't know how the Nangong family raised such a stupid child, and they didn't bother to pay attention to her.

"Huh? Ziqiao, where are you going? ”

"I remember that my mother-in-law has something to do with me, so I don't deserve you, Miss Nangong." After speaking, he didn't look back, and walked out of the yard quickly.

Nangong Sang Tian looked at Ouyang Ziqiao who was leaving, and pouted. The maid who was waiting beside her stepped forward at this time and whispered, "Miss, let's go find Madame." ”

"Hmph, this Ziqiao really thinks I'm a fool. Saying so much in front of me is not to confront me with the girl just now. I really want to become Aunt Qianru's disciple, but that also depends on my own skills. ”

"Miss is smart enough to see through Miss Ouyang's tricks, but the maids around Madame have come to look for you twice, let's go over quickly." When the little maid heard this, she immediately agreed, and then spoke pitifully.

Nangong Sangtian nodded, followed his maid inside, and instructed as he walked: "You can go out and inquire about that girl in a while." ”

"Yes, miss."

Lin Zhuohua didn't know that she was being remembered, so she went to the main courtyard when she returned to the courtyard.

In the room, Feng Shuhui was struggling to make a face, holding a book in her hand and looking at it. When he saw her come in, he cast a pitiful look.

Lin Zhuohua gave her a helpless look, and then sat aside.

"When the head of the family received the people of the Nangong family, I handed over the things to the steward, and when the people of the Nangong family left, he would send them to the head of the family."

Ouyang Qianru lazily leaned on the chaise longue, stretched out her hand to take the peeled grapes, and nodded when she heard the words: "Well, the housekeeper in my father's yard is good." ”

After speaking, she looked at Mama Tang beside her and asked, "The people from the Nangong family have arrived?" Who are they? ”

When Mama Tang heard this, she immediately told everyone from Nangong's house, and she knew that Miss was going to ask.

Ouyang Qianru sneered: "Heh, it's quite complete." I heard that Miss Nangong San is pregnant? ”

Mama Tang's expression changed when she heard this, and she secretly hated in her heart, who was the eldest lady who passed the news on.

"Well, I've heard it's been four months."

"If you are pregnant, you dare to run around, and you are not afraid that the child will be tossed away."

Mama Tang and the maid in the house all lowered their heads, and they couldn't answer this.
