The next day in Chongyang, early in the morning, Mrs. Qiao and Xie Zhiwan's aunt went out to quietly see a few of the matchmakers, because they left early, these families didn't take a fancy to them, and around noon, the two came back.

While talking to Su Nan about how this family is not good, how that family is not good, while busy steaming Chongyang cake and boiling salted chicken and duck eggs, Su Nan looked at the time, under the pretext of feeding the chickens, and quickly went around from the backyard to the front yard, hiding behind the gate of the front yard, waiting for the little guy of the Jiu Gongzi's family to come over.

Last time, Jiu Gongzi gave those things to apologize, so that she was grabbed by her grandmother and taught her a lesson in the middle of the night, what she didn't know the severity, what nobles couldn't mess with, and what.

This time, the little guy of the ninth son, what did he say to take them to the West Mountain to climb the heights, so that his grandmother could hear it, and he didn't know how to teach her a lesson, although his grandmother didn't care about her, but it was really annoying.

Why didn't she refuse at the time, really, alas, like Sister Rou'er said, a fairy-like person like Jiu Gongzi, how can she say no, she can't say it......

Su Nan held her breath and tried to aim at both sides of the street from the crack in the door, but don't just catch up with Daddy to come back, well, Daddy has to go to Grandma's grave every time he arrives for the holidays, and he has to talk for a long time, and he can come back after almost dark, don't worry.

Su Nan comforted herself thoughtlessly, looked from this side of the street to the other side of the street, saw Aoba at a glance, hurriedly flashed out, closed the courtyard door with his backhand, and walked a few steps towards Aoba, "Are you at my house?" ”

"Yes, my son-in-law ......" Aoba was stunned by Su Nan's rush forward, he was still very unaccustomed to the unruly rules of these people.

"I know I know, you told my husband that my grandmother is back and is steaming chongyang cakes, and my grandmother will take us to the heights, so I won't bother Mr. Lao, thank you, thank you, thank you." After Su Nan finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief, his smile bloomed, he waved his hand at Aoba, turned around and ran back a few steps.

Aoba blinked when he heard this, watched Su Nan take two steps up the steps, pushed the door in, turned around, and strode back.

At this moment, he felt again that he actually felt that the ninth master of his family had taken a fancy to this Su girl, he was too much, this Su girl who was not very well-behaved in the people in the market, how could such a Su family be worthy of his family's fairy-like ninth master, it was simply ...... I can't put it all together!

Aoba replied, carefully looking at his ninth master, his ninth master couldn't see any expression on his face, according to his experience...... Recently, he dared to have a little experience again, and his ninth master was at least not unhappy, so he said, how could his ninth master look down on such a vulgar little girl.

Please Xie Mingyun and Mr. Zhu of the clan, as well as several old gentlemen in Pingjiang City who are recognized as knowledgeable and cultivated, as well as a few old people to climb the West Mountain to appreciate the chrysanthemum meeting, when Xie Mingyun just returned to the house, it was personally sent by Xie Shanchang.

Xie Mingyun agreed very simply, which did not surprise Xie Shanchang, he already understood and determined very well: their Xie family's ninth son, in fact, is extremely easy-going and extremely humble, extremely low-key, those rumors that say that their Xie family's ninth son is not close to people and have no dust, are all false!

Pingjiang is rich, the ascending of Pingjiang Mansion is not like other poor counties, early in the morning mountain, rushing down the mountain early before dark to go home, Pingjiang this west mountain climbing, are evening mountains.

In the whole Xishan, the Xingluo Banner is covered with the courtyards of the rich families, but those who have other courtyards in the West Mountain, on the night of Chongyang, in addition to hanging the lanterns around their own courtyards, and the outside of the courtyard is bright, there are also lanterns hanging out of their own courtyards for one or two miles.

There are many courtyards on the West Mountain, this big red lantern, from the foot of the mountain, has been hanging to the top of the mountain, there are lanterns everywhere in the whole West Mountain, no matter in the mountain, or looking at it from afar, the bright lanterns are dotted around, spectacular and beautiful, as if it is another Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Because of this rule, the small people of Pingjiang Mansion, as long as they can walk away, have to climb the west mountain and look far away to see the lanterns.

Mrs. Qiao's house is not close to Xishan, so she packed up, took Su Nan, who was wearing a good dress that was only worn during the festival, and Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou, and set up a Taiping car with a clean felt blanket and temporarily changed to send people away, and went to Xishan.

When we arrived at the footsteps of the West Mountain, the sky had already darkened, and the lanterns on and off the mountain had been hung and lit.

Mrs. Qiao paid for the car, looked up at the red lanterns all over the mountains, pushed down and carried a small suitcase, and was getting together with Xie Zhiwan, who didn't know what to mutter, "Let's go, there will be more people for a while, and the road is not easy to walk." ”

Su Nan responded crisply, turned around and found Xie Zhirou who chased out and didn't know what to see, Qiao Pozi was in front, Su Nan and the three carried the suitcase, following her, the three heads were almost together, and said as she walked.

"Do you see clearly? Is it really Tuesday? Su Nan pinched Xie Zhirou.

"Surely, he smiled at me, did you say he was waiting for us on purpose? We didn't see a big car in front of us......"

"Not necessarily," Su Nan squinted his eyes at Xie Zhiwan, who was slightly excited, "Their Zhou family is rich, and their own family has cars and horses, even if they hire a car, they will definitely hire a big car, and they will definitely not come over in a Taiping car like us." ”

"Ah Nan is so right." Xie Zhirou also glanced at Xie Zhiwan, who was obviously disappointed, let go of Su Nan, and walked around to Xie Zhiwan, "Eleventh sister, don't think about it." There's one more thing. ”

Xie Zhirou looked at Su Nan, "Anyway, Ah Nan has never had a mind, this is easy to say, didn't the eldest aunt go out in the morning, Aunt Liutang sent all the Chongyang cakes to our house, Aunt Liutang sent the cakes and didn't leave, sat and talked to Ah Niang, I think she did it on purpose, she said earlier that Ah Nan and their third cousin were not married, or she mentioned it, at that time, it was about calculating Ah Nan's dowry, hum, Aunt Liutang is annoying, too calculating."

It's far away, Aunt Liutang, just sit and talk, I just hide behind the door and listen, just listen to Aunt Liutang say that the ninth son praises her third brother for being smart and rare, and said that the gentleman in the school said, even if the third brother fails the exam this year, next year will be successful, saying that her third brother, a show is stable, and what do you say Although our surname is Xie, but there are many surnames Xie, just one Xie word is not enough, the clan can not take care of it, she has to think about it well, and find a helpful family for her third brother.

You listen to this, my aunt is not polite, my aunt's temper, you know, I said it on the spot, my aunt said, didn't you still think about our sister, see that our sister is a single daughter, thinking about that family property, don't you think about it now?

My aunt also said Aunt Liutang, don't turn your eyes too much, at least, think about everything before you go out, don't move a stone to hit your own feet. My aunt also said that the third cousin's interest is not a day or two, didn't Mr. Xueli last year say that the third cousin must be able to take the Xiucai exam?

My aunt said Liutang, she also said last year that she would go to Ah Nan's house to propose marriage this year, and this year there is another statement. A-Niang said that we are reasonable people, and to be honest, we didn't like Aunt Liutang, if we change to another family, it will be light to hit the door.

Aunt Liutang's face was flushed, and she paid my mother a half-day gift before leaving. After she left, I saw that my mother was still angry enough, and the chopping board for chopping meat was almost into meat filling. ”

"Alas," Su Nan sighed, and pouted at Mrs. Qiao, who was seven or eight steps ahead of them, "Grandma still said it today, I'm afraid that the sixth aunt's family has the same mind as the Zhou family, grandma said that she didn't fancy the sixth aunt, she just thinks that the third cousin is good, what you said, if grandma knows, in short, she will not be happy for a while." ”

"Alas, this person is really, he hasn't come out yet, he just thinks about this help and that help, and he can't live without help? It's really unbelievable. Xie Zhirou looked at Xie Zhiwan, who had a very ugly face, and then looked at Su Nan, who was quite peaceful, and flicked her sleeves in annoyance.

"I heard my dad say it once, saying that if we change our family, if my brother or your brother has a chance, our family plans to do the same, Daddy said, there is too much difference between helping and not helping."

Xie Zhiwan's voice was low.

"Don't say anything else, just say that Ah Nan and her father are good, these words are all said by Ah Niang and Ah Dad, saying that since we have a Su family brother-in-law in this room, just this work and that service, as well as this money and this money, I don't know how much, from the yamen to the clan, they don't bully us, it is the Su family's brother-in-law...... In the past few years, the yamen was also very polite, there are people and no one, can it be the same? ”

Xie Zhiwan sighed lowly. "You don't have to persuade me, I understand, if my brother, or your brother, will be able to take the exam this year and next year, and in two or three years, I will definitely want to let him get married, if he is developed, we will all be developed, the little lady of the official family, with us now, one day, one earth.

How can this be blamed on others, people don't owe our family, and they don't owe me, if you want to blame, you can only blame our parents and brothers for not having the ability. ”

Xie Zhiwan's voice choked slightly.

"Let's not talk about this, by the way, did your aunt tell you, she and her grandmother saw each other today, and she and her grandmother didn't like it. Do you know what Grandma said? Grandma said that people must be good-looking, our sister Wan is so good-looking, we have to find a similar one, I can't let him look at our sister Wan comfortably, our sister Wan looks at him disgusting. ”

Su Nan learned her grandmother's tone. Xie Zhiwan burst out laughing.

"When I go back, I will tell my mother that when I go on a blind date in the future, she will also have to ask the second mother-in-law to go with her to see each other, and I also want to look good!" Xie Zhirou clapped her hands and laughed. "Hey! You say, what kind of daughter-in-law do you have to find if you are as good-looking as the ninth prince? Speaking of good looks, Xie Zhirou immediately thought of them as the ninth son of the Xie family.

"Gotta be as good-looking as him." Xie Zhiwan continued: "We will definitely not see the ninth prince getting married, if we can take a look, how beautiful it is, what a real golden boy and jade girl." ”

As the three of them spoke, they quickened their pace, followed Mrs. Qiao, watched the people with the lights, and went up the mountain.

Xie Mingyun stood in the shadows, looking intently at Su Nan, who was mixed in the crowd, carrying a small food box, talking and laughing with the two cousins, getting closer and closer.

Su Nan seemed to feel something, raised her head from the joke, looked at him, and then turned her head to look around, Xie Mingyun smiled at the corner of her mouth, she didn't move her eyes, she couldn't see him.

After a while, Su Nan looked up again, and then turned his head to look around.

Xie Mingyun smiled even more, looked away, and after a moment, looked over again.

When Su Nan was about to walk by, he glanced over again.

Xie Mingyun didn't look away, looked at her and frowned slightly, looked in circles again, pulled the two cousins, walked up with her steps, lowered her head, and smiled.

She's as sharp as ever.

Halfway up the mountain, Mrs. Qiao met a few neighbors, everyone beckoned to sit together, let each other eat your Chongyang cake, and then taste my family, the east and the west family began to gossip.

Su Nan, Xie Zhiwan, Xie Zhirou and a few little girls who came together gathered in a group, eating the pastries brought by each family, and gossiping about them.

The West Mountain on the day of Chongyang is divided into layers, and the Wangyuan Pavilion on the top of the mountain is the Chongyang Wenhui that the Xie family learned to come forward, most of the time, it is invited to host the Pingjiang Mansion Yin, and this year is no exception, not only is it no exception, this year Pingjiang Mansion Yin arrived very early, because it is said that the ninth son of the Xie family will also come to ascend the Huiwen.

The ninth prince of the Xie family, just the expectations of the emperor and the importance of the prince, people can't be underestimated, but no matter what, after all, he is still a white cloth, if he comes to visit the meeting, it will not sound good, and it is not appropriate to go to the Xie family to learn, it is too obvious, today's literary meeting, talk to Xie Jiugongzi a few more words, and make a friendship, it is really suitable, so he arrived early. Xie Jiugongzi did not disappoint him, that humility, that just the right amount of enthusiasm, it really made people feel good.

The Chongyang Cultural Festival on the top of the mountain is particularly lively this year.

From the top of the mountain down, a few flat, suitable places for gatherings, early by the Pingjiang Mansion of the big clan, for the clan of the female family and the children of the clan to climb high to play, the small people of Pingjiang Mansion, can only be in the middle of the mountain, climb a half-high.

However, these differences, for little girls like Su Nan and Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou, I have neither thought about nor felt anything bad, after all, it is like this every year.

Xie Zhirou was playing with a little girl learning to guess boxing, and two or three little girls were around, holding fried hazelnuts to calculate the winners and losers for the two of them.

Xie Zhiwan and a girl next door who was a year or two older than her sat next to each other, listening to the girl from the leading family say how troublesome the dowry she was doing, and what were the rules, Su Nan sat next to Xie Zhiwan, listening to the words of the dowry, his eyes slipped around, looking at the lanterns around him, and the excitement of a group of people.

They are all female dependents, Pingjiang Mansion is a place where rules are very important, and looking at the Xishan Climb, there are already rules.

Su Nan, who slipped around to look at this and there, glanced at Zhou Qing in the shadow of the lantern under the standing tree, and suddenly looked at Xie Zhiwan.

Xie Zhiwan didn't realize it, and was listening to the words of the dowry.

Su Nan slowly turned her neck, her eyes slowly turned over, and then looked under the lantern.

After about Tuesday, the lights were dark, and others couldn't see him, leaning against the tree, staring at Xie Zhiwan, and the people who watched were stunned.

Su Nan saw it clearly, hurriedly looked away, blinked a few times, and then looked at Xie Zhiwan, who was still unconscious. After staying for a while, and then looking at the stunned Tuesday, looking back and forth seven or eight times, Su Nan couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Forget it, don't tell Sister Wan'er, it's no good to tell it, it's all bad, their family affairs, there is no room for them to talk at all, alas, she is too...... No, she's not, her family affairs, if she refuses, in her grandmother's place, she will definitely be able to make trouble, in her father's place, her father's place is a sentence.

But what about other people's homes?

Su Nan's shoulders hung down, didn't Sister Rou say just now that the third cousin's family didn't look down on her......

Alas!

Su Nan secretly sighed inexplicably, her shoulders collapsed, and her mood fell.

When people grow up, it's so boring.

Su Nan didn't look at Zhou Qing anymore, her chin rested on her knees, and the little girls' laughter in her ears, she was worried, but she couldn't figure out what was on her mind.

A small pebble fell silently on Su Nan's skirt, Su Nan hurriedly turned her head to look over, behind the tree, Qingye showed half of her face and beckoned at her.

Su Nan blinked, gently pulled Xie Zhiwan, who was listening to the dowry, leaned into her ear and said, "Someone is looking for me in the school, I'll go over and take a look, and I'll tell you when I come back." ”

Xie Zhiwan sighed, turned around and watched Su Nan stand up and walk behind a tree that was nothing, watched Su Nan turn to the back of the tree, as if he was talking to someone, turned his head, and then listened to the rules of the dowry.

Ah Nan has never had to worry about her.

Qingye beckoned Su Nan, and immediately hid behind the tree, saw Su Nan coming, pulled his figure, avoided the shadows, suppressed his voice and Su Nan smiled: "Miss Su, my ninth master said that there are a few words to say to Miss Su, just in front." ”

Standing in the shadows, Aoba couldn't help but glance at Su Nan a few more times, he felt more and more that his ninth master might really be crazy about the rude stupid girl in front of him, alas, this is really crazy!

"What's the matter? Say what? Is it me alone, or ......" Su Nan was too surprised.

"The matter of the ninth master, the little one doesn't know, when the ninth master instructed the little one, he said that he was inviting Miss Su, and he didn't say anything else." Aoba had to say a few more words, and while speaking, he sighed in his heart one by one, hoping that his ninth master was just a whim, and after a few days, the tide receded, and everything could be as usual.

"Hmm......" Su Nan groaned, "Okay." Where? ”

"Miss Su has been going along this road." Aoba pointed to a path under the two rows of lanterns, and watched Su Nan go up the path, choosing the shadows and following all the way with his invisible figure.

can't let people see that it was Miss Su who he called away, he didn't want people to know that his ninth master called Miss Su away, alas, his ninth master called Miss Su away, hurry up and recede the tide, before everyone knows, retreat, otherwise, alas, don't talk about his ninth master, even he feels faceless, such a Su girl, such a Su family.

Aoba subconsciously turned his head to look at Mrs. Qiao, who was smiling and patting her thighs, and raised her hand to cover her face, the rude woman in the rude market!

Su Nan's footsteps were brisk, and he went up along the path, there were fewer and fewer people, and there were more and more curtains on both sides of the road, and there were fewer and fewer of them, Su Nan stopped, and Aoba had already followed, signaling Su Nan, "It's ahead." ”

Su Nan stood still, looked around, and then continued to walk up.

turned a small corner again, there was no one in front, no curtains, not even a lantern, under the light behind him, Xie Mingyun wore a white gown, a single cloak of the same color, lowered his head slightly, turned the folding fan in his hand, heard the movement, turned to look at Su Nan.

Su Nan looked at Xie Mingyun under the moonlight and the afterglow of the lights, and the people who watched were dumbfounded, the ninth prince was really good-looking.

"What's wrong?" Xie Mingyun felt a little trance.

Her clothes are too bright, so bright that they are tacky, how could she wear such a bright ...... He was confused, she was her, not her.

"Childe is really, so good-looking, the moon is like water, and Childe is like jade." Su Nan was embarrassed by Xie Mingyun's sentence, and she was embarrassed, embarrassed, but her eyes were reluctant to look away, and in embarrassment, she waved her hand, and suddenly remembered the sentence she saw yesterday, which was really appropriate.

Xie Mingyun looked straight at Su Nan as if he had been hit by thunder again, his lips trembled slightly, his face seemed to be happy and sad, but he looked at Su Nan with fear, "I can't speak, I'm not, I apologize to Mr., I'm not...... I didn't say anything! ”

"No, no, no!" Xie Mingyun was in a trance, but tears fell, "No." Xie Mingyun suddenly sighed, "It's me, I remembered an old thing, I lost my temper, the girl forgave me, I scared the girl." ”

"It's okay if you're okay, I'm okay." Su Nan almost wanted to wipe a handful of sweat, this ninth son, good-looking, good-looking, but Shinto, a bit like her father.

"Didn't scare the girl, did you?" Xie Zhiyun straightened up, the person had calmed down, and looked at Su Nan's gaze as gentle as moonlight, with deep concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm a bold person, nothing can scare me." Su Nan hurriedly waved her hand to show that she was not scared at all.

The Nine Sons at this time seem to be very different from the daytime, and the Nine Sons in front of them make people feel very uncomfortable and have a feeling of thorns all over their bodies.

Xie Mingyun seemed to see Su Nan's discomfort, took two steps back, and gestured around while moving forward, "I just walked here, and I found that this is the best place to enjoy the scenery, you see,"

Xie Mingyun pointed to the brightly lit Pingjiang City at the foot of the mountain. "I didn't expect our Pingjiang City to be so prosperous, you look at the stars, it's like stars falling, it's really spectacular."

Su Nan was stunned, "Ah! I've never seen Pingjiang City like this, it's so beautiful. ”

"Sit here and watch." Xie Mingyun looked at Su Nan, who was looking amazed and excited, and after a moment, he motioned to a small pavilion next to him and said softly.

The pavilion was very small, and it had been cleaned extremely clean, covered with a thick carpet of felt and surrounded by a half-man's height of dark draperies. A round table was placed on the felt carpet, and the tea and snacks were already laid out.

Su Nan stood at the entrance of the pavilion, looking at the snow-white felt blanket covered with the pavilion, and hesitated, her shoes must be very dirty, do you want to take off her shoes? What did it become when you took off your shoes?

Su Nan hesitated, Xie Mingyun looked at her, smiled, and had already stepped into it, passing by her, the folding fan gently pushed down on her shoulder, "Come in." I'm tired too, let's have a cup of tea and take a break. ”

Su Nan looked at Xie Mingyun as if she didn't see the snow-white felt blanket on the ground, stepped straight in, and immediately followed him and stepped in.

The strange thing is that Xie Mingyun's shoes are nothing after stepping on them, why are there two big shoe prints that are so obvious where she has stepped on them!

Su Nan sat down with Xie Mingyun and looked depressedly at the two obviously incomparable shoe prints in front of her.

Xie Mingyun followed Su Nan's depressed gaze and looked at the two shoe prints left by Su Nan, and laughed, "I'll let people expand it in a while, if you want to make a few pairs of shoes for you, you don't need to look for shoes that you want." ”

"Ugh." Su Nan was said by Xie Mingyun, and she didn't know how to react unexpectedly, how many pairs of shoes would she make? How does this seem to be Sister Wan'er's words?

"You know how to make shoes?" The gods made the ghosts like ghosts, Su Nan blurted out.

Xie Mingyun laughed, shaking his head while laughing, "Not now, there are a few embroidery girls in the sewing room at home, and the shoes are good, but it won't be difficult to make shoes if you want to, and you can learn it in the future." ”

"It's hard to make shoes, I haven't learned it yet, and my grandmother said I can't get married." Su Nan was a little embarrassed, she was a little stupid by her big shoe prints, how could she ask Jiu Gongzi if he could make shoes......

"You don't have to learn, your cousin, Xie Zhiwan? Optimistic about family affairs? Xie Mingyun probably saw that Su Nan was uncomfortable and gossiped.

"Not yet, I'm watching, this morning, my grandmother and my aunt just went to see each other, secretly looked at the two families, my grandmother said that the first family of the aunt is not good, said that she changed the tofu, don't say it, change the tofu, I have to give her another piece of dry tofu, people gave, push up the car, she reached out and grabbed a large handful from the basket of soybeans, turned around and left."

Su Nan took her eyes off her two big shoe prints and told Xie Mingyun about the blind date that her grandmother said. I can't tell why, she feels that although the ninth prince in front of her is too good-looking and spotless to make people uncomfortable, he can be trusted very much, and there is a feeling that she can say anything to him without scruples.

Xie Mingyun listened intently and nodded in agreement, "This family is really not good, not because of care, but because she grabbed other people's soybeans again, and her conduct was wrong, so she looked at this one?" ”

"There is another family, my grandmother hid next to me, and I heard that my aunt and the neighbor first complained about her mother-in-law, and said that it would be good to marry a daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law or something for many years, and my grandmother said that she and her aunt left without listening, saying that this family is not good."

When Su Nan spoke, he felt much more comfortable.

"I also agree with what your grandmother and aunt say, it is indeed a bad style, such a family, the daughter-in-law will be tortured if she marries in." Xie Mingyun not only listened, but also thought about it very seriously, this was the first time he had thought about this kind of thing seriously.

"It's hard for a girl to get married, that's my grandmother's words, alas!" Su Nan thought of Zhou Qing under the shadow of the light just now, and sighed, Sister Wan likes Erlang very much, and Erlang is also very good to her, but ...... Alas!

"Nine Princes, if you pass the exam, raise people or something, or become an official in the future, must you have help?" Su Nan looked at Xie Mingyun and asked seriously.

"Well," Xie Mingyun pondered for a moment, "It depends on where you started, how you said it, why did you think of this?" Who wants to find someone to help? ”

"That is to say, there is a difference between helping and not helping?" Su Nan is very good at being obedient, although Xie Mingyun didn't answer her directly, she still heard it.

"I can't say that." Xie Mingyun smiled, he really liked her intelligence, how smart she was, how much he liked it. "It's extremely complicated here, have you ever heard of catching a son-in-law under the list?" Xie Mingyun looked at Su Nan, who had a gloomy expression, and her heart was slightly raised.

"I've heard that there is a big drama, and the song is to catch a son-in-law under the list, and a group of matchmakers pull the new champion, saying that my family is a single daughter, and the one who says that my master is an old man, it is very lively." Su Nan thought about the big drama, and wanted to sigh, marrying and marrying, the right family.

Xie Mingyun looked at her expression carefully, it seems that this help is not helping, it has something to do with her, she has no brothers, her father has no intention of taking the exam again, and there is no intention of continuing the strings, her eldest uncle and third uncle's family, several cousins are mediocre in qualifications, and they can't be admitted to the inner school, show talent or something, don't think about it.

That's ......

Xie Mingyun was a little cautious, "Who didn't help because of this, and missed the family affair?" Your eleventh cousin? Or are you? Your thirteenth sister? ”

"Sister Wan." Su Nan hesitated for a while and sighed, "Earlier, my two aunts and uncles both hurt their children, this is my grandmother's words, I have long been concerned about Sister Wan's children, as well as Arou's family affairs, anyway, when I see a good family, I can't help but calculate, this is also my grandmother's words."

There is a family, I have been thinking about my aunt for several years, saying that the family style is good, the people are good, anyway, they are all very good, especially the people, the people are good, and there is a future, last year I was admitted to our inner school, said that it is next year, at most the year after that, I will definitely be able to test a talent.

The third cousin of my sixth cousin's family, who is also an inner school, is also so promising, just now Arou said, the sixth cousin came to her house today to send Chongyang cakes, and told my third aunt that she would not help for a long time, saying that although the surname is Xie, the surname Xie is so much, and the care that falls on the head of the third cousin can be a little more? I have to rely on myself, and I said that I must choose a helpful family business for my third cousin.

The third cousin said so, and the family that the eldest aunt was thinking about must have thought the same way, alas. ”

Xie Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Su Nan and said tentatively: "The family you are talking about, is it named Zhou Qing?" ”

"How do you know?" Su Nan was taken aback.

"Don't be like this, there are not many children with foreign surnames in the inner school, and even fewer can be tested for a show talent next year and the year after tomorrow, and if you don't decide on a family matter, just Zhou Qing, right?" Xie Mingyun laughed as she spoke.

Su Nan snorted, according to what he said, it was so simple that it was clearly placed there.

"Well, have you read his article? Is it like Mr. said, even if you can't pass the exam next year, you will definitely be able to pass the year after? Su Nan guessed it when she saw him, but she felt relaxed and easy to say, anyway, he also knew, she trusted him very much.

"Do you think he did well or didn't?" Xie Mingyun looked at Su Nan and asked with a smile.

"Look at what you said, of course I was looking forward to him being admitted, not because he was in our school, yes, people didn't feel sorry for us...... We, no, and I'm not sorry for anyone, if a few cousins are as promising as Tuesday, uncles and aunts have the same plan, Sister Wan has said several times, it's my uncle and cousins who are not promising, to blame, at most blame this, I don't want people to be admitted, so who is it? ”

Su Nan squinted at Xie Mingyun for the first time.

Xie Mingyun was slanted by her eyes, and couldn't stop laughing, "I don't mean that, that is, let's talk to each other, just casually, that Erlang's article, I have read a few, and it is still a little immature, but it is quite aura and well-organized, there is a loyal atmosphere in the article, what Mr. said is that if you don't get it next year, you will definitely be able to pass the exam the year after tomorrow." ”

"Alas!" Su Nan thought about Zhou Qing under the shadow of the light just now, and sighed gloomily.

"Your cousin and Tuesday, quite a temper tantrum?" Xie Mingyun looked at her and asked.

Su Nan looked at him and nodded slowly, "Sort of." ”

"Didn't talk to my family on Tuesday?" Xie Mingyun asked again.

"I don't know." Su Nan shook her head, "Listen to my grandmother, there are a lot of matchmakers who go to the Zhou family, since the beginning of last year, or the year before last, Mrs. Zhou let go, saying that her family Erlang will wait until after the examination to show talent, and then discuss marriage, the day I heard the words released by Mrs. Zhou, Sister Wan cried bitterly, originally at that time, Sister Wan planned not to take the entrance examination, but ......"

When Su Nan said this, her consciousness said a little too much, and she was embarrassed for a moment, forget it, she couldn't take it anyway.

"Forget it, let's just say it, Sister Wan'er wants to take the Inner School, it was because of Tuesday, but later, when I heard Mrs. Zhou's words, Sister Wan'er didn't want to take the exam.

But you know, whether it's the Xie family, or another surname, almost everyone, girls have to go to school for a few days, but there are very few people who want to take the school exam, after all, the daughter's family can't take the Xiucai or anything. Sister Wan wants to take the inner school, so she has to learn more from her husband, and Sister Rou and I naturally want to accompany Sister Wan, so everyone knows that we have to take the inner school, if we release this from Mrs. Zhou, we won't take the test, it's too ......"

Su Nan spread her hands and looked at Xie Mingyun, "Did you say that?" So, we held on and passed the test.

Originally, after the exam, Sister Wan'er, of course, Sister Rou and me, didn't plan to study in the inner school, even if they were admitted, they would have to confess.

But after we were admitted to the inner school, there were a few families, who did not look down on the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family in the past, and asked someone to come to the door to propose to Sister Wan and Sister Rou, and the uncle said that our Pingjiang Mansion is a place where learning is important, and if the girl's family learns well, she can marry well, so let us continue to study until we go home and get married. ”

Su Nan's words fell like beads, ding ding dong dong, the words were fast and crisp, and Xie Mingyun was in a happy mood when she heard it.

"What about you? Did your grandmother take care of you for you? Xie Mingyun stared at Su Nan.

"No, alas." After saying no, Su Nan sighed again, "I can't say no, I can't walk yet, my grandmother just looks at every family with a look of picking on her grandson-in-law, this is the words of the third aunt."

I also took a fancy to one earlier, that is, the third cousin, and later, you know, the third cousin is also very promising, and the sixth cousin also wants to marry a helpful family for the third cousin, but now there is no more.

However, my grandmother was hesitant to say that the third cousin was good, smart and kind, but my grandmother didn't like the sixth cousin, saying that the sixth cousin was too calculating, but I was afraid that she would not be blessed. But grandma doesn't know yet, but she does, grandma will definitely be unhappy if she is unhappy, but I don't think she will be very angry, and I don't like it very much. ”

"What about yourself?" Xie Mingyun asked this sentence, and his heart was slightly raised.

"I don't hate the third cousin, but I can't be regarded as liking him, he's too sticky, a word for a long time, can suffocate people to death, people are stupid, Mr. actually said that he is smart, probably men's smartness is different from ours, and Tuesday, Mr. said how smart he is, he has never been able to memorize me, I let him half of the article he can't carry me, where is smart?"

Su Nan lifted her chin proudly.

Xie Mingyun laughed, "You are indeed smarter than all of them, much smarter." ”

"It's useless to be smart, we can't take the Xiucai exam, it would be nice if a woman could take the Xiucai exam, Sister Wan and I will definitely be able to take the two Xiucai exams, doesn't it mean that if you are admitted to the inner school, you can almost get the Xiucai?"

"You take the exam in the inner school, it's different from their exam on Tuesday, but even if it's different, you are so smart, you should be easy to take the test, hey," Xie Mingyun raised his eyebrows, "You and your sister Wan, what about your sister Rou?" Why didn't you mention it? ”

"Because she couldn't pass the exam! She was admitted to the school, and I helped write the paper. Su Nan smiled happily.

Xie Mingyun sighed and laughed.

Qingye arranged for someone to look at Qiao Pozi's side, and saw that someone was going back one after another, so he hurriedly came back to report, before Xie Zhiwan and Qiao Pozi looked for Su Nan, Aoba had quietly followed and sent Su Nan back.

I can't say why, Su Nan didn't tell Xie Zhiwan and Xie Zhirou about being invited by the Ninth Prince to talk.
