Mrs. Tang was born in an ordinary place, wearing an ordinary Luo skirt, which was both a little fierce and quite simple, and there were a lot of calluses on her hand, her hand was raised, and she hurriedly supported Shen Ao, who was about to bow down, and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy, what kind of student, teacher, get up." ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly and said, "When a student sees his teacher for the first time, he must always be solemn. After saying this, he narrowed the relationship with Mrs. Tang.

Mrs. Tang saw that he was gentle and elegant, how did she know that this kid had a fierce beating not long ago, she liked it quite much, and looked him up and down, although Shen Ao was not tall, but his complexion was fair, his eyebrows were starry, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and he was calm and polite, so she said happily: "Are you here to see my father-in-law, he is on duty in the prison today, but I am afraid that he will not come back for a while, you sit down first, I will teach the little girl to pour you tea, I don't know what your name is?" ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "The student's name is Shen Ao. ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she immediately laughed: "So you are Shen Ao?" Tang Yan always mentions you, saying that you are a great talent in the Guozi Prison, quick, sit down, Mo'er, go pour tea. ”

Mo'er answered, but was stopped by the matchmaker: "You are Miss Tang?" Ahh Come, come, don't be busy pouring tea first, there is a big happy event, and the old body wants to talk to you. ”

"Miss Tang, I really won't hide it from you, Zhao Gongzi is here to ask the old man to come, Zhao Gongzi has only learned people, and his family background is also excellent, his grandfather has also been a high-ranking official like Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and there are hundreds of slaves and maids in the family, Miss Tang only needs to nod, do you need to pour tea in person when you come to the guest? Call, there are countless people at your service. Miss Tang, the old body is also a woman, such a good husband, you can't find it even with a lantern in this Bianjing City......"

Tang Mo'er said: "He's so good, why don't you marry him?" Huoxue felt that this sentence was a bit excessive, Tang Mo'er said, and hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around to pour tea.

The matchmaker choked up all of a sudden, and said with a sneer: "How can the old body have such a blessing!" ”

Knowing that Tang Mo'er couldn't make sense, the smell of gunpowder was too strong, so he looked for Mrs. Tang again and said, "Mrs. Tang, your girl is already over ten years old, at such an age, can you wait?" Wait a little longer, the yellow flower girl has become an old girl, how will she marry in the future? The old body eats this line of food, and I have seen a lot of such things, many girls at the beginning, looking left and right, always wanting to pick a wishful Langjun, and the parents do not urge, what is the result? As a result, the only way to go to the temple for fasting was to get married, and it was also a hasty matter to find a man who had a dead mother-in-law. Madam, you have to think about the lessons of the past. ”

The matchmaker's words reached Mrs. Tang's heart, Tang Mo'er happened to come from the back compartment with a teapot, but she pursed her mouth and didn't speak, asked Shen Ao to sit down, and poured tea and water for Shen Ao alone; She glanced at Shen Ao, saw that he was looking at the matchmaker with interest, and deliberately glared at Shen Ao.

Shen Ao looked at this matchmaker for a reason, because he finally saw a peer, at least the two sides had one thing in common, they were both working tricks.

was glared at by Tang Mo'er, Shen Ao stopped looking at the matchmaker, girl, you stare at me, won't I stare at you? A pair of eyes looked directly at Tang Mo'er.

Where has Tang Mo'er seen such a shameless person, a man stared at her, immediately turned his face away, and said to the matchmaker: "I won't agree to this family business, you go quickly, take all these things you brought." ”

The matchmaker still smiled, ignored Tang Mo'er, and continued to say to Mrs. Tang: "Mrs. Tang, the order of your parents, the words of the matchmaker, this family matter, I still want you to make up your mind." ”

Mrs. Tang was quite moved, and was hesitating, but Shen Ao said, "Huh? Zhao Gongzi? Could it be that Zhao Zhilong in the east of the city? ”

For this person, Shen Ao has an impression, what grandfather has been a royal historian, fart, it's just a royal history, this guy is still a son? Have you ever seen a handful of bearded and wrinkled faces like hair cakes? As for what kind of talent, Shen Ao knows it very well, this guy often goes to the Yaya mountain house to drink tea, and he has written two poems, and he has knowledge, but if he wants to say that he is top, it is even more nonsense, that is, the level of a talent.

When the matchmaker heard this, she smiled and said, "Why has this son also heard of Zhao Gongzi?" ”

Shen Ao nodded and said: "Yes, yes, I have heard of this Uncle Zhao, his character is good, his knowledge is also very good, and his family background is even more first-class, this is indeed a good family business." ”

"Uncle Zhao?" Mrs. Tang was stunned for a moment and said, "What Uncle Zhao?" ”

Shen Ao said: "Madame doesn't know? Zhao Zhilong Zhao Gongzi is no longer confused, let me think about it, oh, it's about forty years old, but it's nothing, it's a marriage, it's about learning and conduct, age or anything is irrelevant. ”

When Mrs. Tang heard this, she was immediately displeased, and Tang Mo'er didn't know whether she was angry or sad, her tears were about to come out, and she glared at the matchmaker and said, "I won't marry, I'd rather hang my hair than marry." ”

The matchmaker glared at Shen Ao, this guy is too insidious, at a young age, how can he be so vicious with a mouth; Hurriedly said: "Zhao Gongzi is forty, but he is only in his early thirties, he looks a little older, he is old, he is serious, ...... madam."

Mrs. Tang said angrily: "No matter how bad my daughter is, she won't marry such a person, no matter how poor my Tang family is, it's an official at worst, let's go, let's go......"

When the matchmaker saw Mrs. Tang's appearance, she hated Shen Ao in her heart, so she had to say, "That old body will come again next time." Then he went to the mouth of a few little guys, Nunu, and walked away together.

Shen Ao smiled, glanced at Tang Mo'er with teary eyes, and knew her dilemma, as a talented woman, Qu is high and widowed, but she is not young, and she can't find the Ruyi Langjun, who was humiliated by a matchmaker or something, I'm afraid that this mood is very bad.

Shen Ao said with a smile: "Miss Tang's charm is really great, not to mention the little Langjun in Bianjing City, even the masters are also flocking to it. Mrs. Tang, I'm afraid that this marriage proposal has broken through the threshold, right? Oh, the student was thinking, Mrs. Tang must have been a great beauty in the past, otherwise how could she give birth to such an outstanding daughter. ”

This remark first deliberately said that the person who proposed marriage had everything, so he downplayed Uncle Zhao's old cow who wanted to eat tender grass, and the latter sentence boasted a few words of Tang Mo'er's beauty, and even Mrs. Tang praised it together. Mrs. Tang suddenly said happily: "That's right, when I was not out of the cabinet back then, I was ashamed of the moon, not my wife bragged, and in Bianjing City, I don't know how many people proposed to me." Then he changed to a look of resentment, and said: "I just fell in love with a dead ghost, at that time he was young and talented, and he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age. ”

Shen Ao was silent and didn't speak, this is sowing discord, it is a stab in the back of Lord Tang, but he can't continue to speak.

Tang Mo'er wiped a few tears from the corners of her eyes, glanced at Shen Ao gratefully, and said, "It is said that you still need to take the scriptures and articles during the art examination, has Shen Gongzi reviewed his homework these days?" ”

The art examination is similar to the specialty examination of later generations, and there is a specialty examination, which also needs to test the scriptures, but the difficulty of the scriptures is much lower than that of the imperial examination, and the admission is more focused on the specialty examination. Shen Ao nodded and said, "Where do I dare to slack off on this kind of thing, I have been doing scriptures and righteousness these days." ”

Tang Mo'er's eyes rolled: "Then Mo'er will boldly ask Shen Gongzi." ”

She said that she was asking for advice, but it was quite a school examination, and she looked at Shen Ao with a smile, and there was a little more gunpowder smell at this time.

Shen Ao cheered up and said, "Please Miss Tang for the question." ”

Tang Mo'er said in a low voice: "There is a way to make money, there are many people who live, there are few people who eat, those who are sick for it, those who use it are comfortable, and wealth is always enough." Shen Gongzi, how to solve the problem with this sentence? ”

Shen Ao was already familiar with the scriptures at this time, and when he heard the title, he could find allusions, this sentence came from "University", and the full text was: It is the old gentleman who has a great way, and he will be faithful to gain it, and he will be proud to lose it. There is a way to make money. Those who live are many, those who eat are few, those who are sick for it, and those who use it are comfortable, then the wealth is enough. The benevolent make a fortune, and the unkind make a fortune. There is no good benevolence, and there is no good righteousness. Those who do not have good righteousness will not end their affairs, and those who do not have the treasury will not have their wealth.

It is to the effect that the gentleman's way of obtaining wealth is to produce more and consume less, so that he is not afraid of not having wealth.

The topic is so obscure, Shen Ao smiled bitterly for a while, Tang Mo'er, this little girl, can go to be the questioner, you must know that the scriptures are not only to examine the students' talents, but also to let them understand the sages. Therefore, the questions are often from the points of benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, and some allusions such as wealth in the four books are rarely used to make questions, after all, this thing seems too vulgar, in the school, the doctors teach these paragraphs are also perfunctory, anyway, the exam will not be examined, so you don't have to spend too much effort to teach students these things.

Tang Mo'er belongs to the folk question official, so naturally there are no such taboos, this time, it stumped Shen Ao, Shen Ao rarely even read Fan Wen such as making money, and he couldn't find a reference for a while, so he could only imagine it out of thin air.

He hesitated and didn't speak, sat on the stool, his eyes were blank, and at a glance, he saw Tang Mo'er looking at him defiantly, and kept admonishing in his heart: "Shen Ao, Shen Ao, you must not lose in the hands of this woman, otherwise you will not be able to raise your head and be a man in front of Mo'er for the rest of your life." ”

Mrs. Tang saw Shen Ao's serious appearance, so she smiled and went to the back kitchen to make tea.
