Tang Yan's appearance was originally to show a bit of reserve, not to make Shen Ao look down on his daughter, so he hesitated and made a gesture of asking Shen Ao to ask him to marry his daughter.

But Mrs. Tang suddenly rushed in and made a big call, which made Tang Yan cry and laugh suddenly.

Tang Yan flicked his sleeves angrily to leave, and said, "This is your idea, since you have already made up your mind, what will you teach me to say?" I'll go, I don't care about it. ”

Mrs. Tang held him down and said, "Go?" This is your daughter, if you want to go, you have to make it clear before leaving. ”

The two chattered and quarreled for a while, Tang Yan was Madame's opponent, and soon fell behind, ashamed and angry, but helpless, so he had to sit awe-inspiring and no longer speak.

Mrs. Tang smiled and said to Shen Ao: "Shen Ao, you and Shi Niang are honest, how many confidants do you have?" ”

Shen Ao didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "There are only two for the time being." ”

Mrs. Tang stretched out two fingers: "Two? She was stunned and said, "Plus our family is three, you are a little greedy, it is nothing for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but there is no such thing as you." I complained a few words, but I thought, the matter has come to this, what else to say; Besides, Shen Ao is indeed a rare son-in-law, he is not only educated, his family background is not bad, he already has a fame, and he looks like it when he is young, except for the fact that this surname is a little dissatisfied, there is nothing else to say.

Tang Yan pulled his beard on the side and said, "Our Tang family is a scholar, this matter is ......"

"There's no place for you to talk, shut up!" Madame Tang interrupted him angrily.

Tang Yan was speechless, so he had to continue to sit in a huff.

Mrs. Tang pouted at Tang Mo'er Nunu and wanted to ask Tang Mo'er what she meant.

Tang Mo'er's face turned red, she knew about Shen Ao's romantic debts, Chun'er had already told her, what Miss Zhou, what Zhen Zhen, I'm afraid there are more than three. She thought to herself, Chun'er is acceptable, Chun'er's surname is gentle and easy to get along with, as for what Zhen Zhen and Miss Zhou, one is well-informed, and the other is Miss Dahu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get along with the surname, I was worried for a while, my face turned red, and I thought to myself, what do I want to do? It's really embarrassing, besides, it's not appropriate for my parents to talk to Shen Gongzi about proposing marriage, and I dare to listen to it on the side; So he blushed and said, "I...... I'm tired, I'll go and rest first. ”

Mrs. Tang was open and honest enough, and grabbed Tang Mo'er: "Mo'er, close the door here today, we are all a family, Shen Ao is your father's student, and he is also half a son, since you want to say it, you have to say it, there is nothing taboo." ”

Tang Yan agreed with his wife's opinion this time, nodded his head and said, "Shen Ao is not an outsider, it's good to make it clear." ”

Shen Ao smiled wryly: "Yes, make it clear!" In fact, Miss Mo'er, the student admires her very much, but the student is ...... Hahaha...... Master Tang and Shi Niang, think about it from the heart, if you are students and have confidants in the past, shouldn't you abandon them because you want to marry Mo'er? ”

Tang Mo'er sat down, but she pursed her lips and said nothing; Mrs. Tang said: "I can't control your affair, I have to ask Mo'er what she means, if Mo'er nods, you will bring the dowry in a few days, and make a decision first, and the marriage can be later." ”

Shen Ao's jaw: "Yes, yes, that's what the student means." ”

The eyes of the three of them fell on Tang Mo'er, waiting for her to make a statement; Although in ancient times, it was about the life of parents and the words of matchmaking, but the Tang family only had such a daughter, she didn't nod, and no one could do anything about her.

Tang Mo'er's heart went up and down, and she wanted to nod, but she felt very embarrassed, especially in front of Shen Ao; But if she shakes her head, it is not her heart, she knows that she is not young, in the past few years, the person who proposed the marriage has broken through the threshold, but there is no one that satisfies her, and now she finally found a person who can make her heartbeat, can find a common topic with her, and her knowledge is better than her, if she misses it, I am afraid that it will be rare to meet again in my life.

Tang Mo'er lowered her head and insisted on it for a while, Tang Yan urged on the side, Shen Ao sat silently, Mrs. Tang knew her daughter's intentions, knew that she was too shy, so she scolded Tang Yan and said: "What are you urging, this is not a market to do business." ”

When Tang Yan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, so he had to shut up.

After sitting silently for a long time, Tang Mo'er was also a little anxious, it had to be dawn to consume it like this, and it was clear that Shen Ao would also enter the palace to thank her, if she couldn't lift her spirit, it would be very bad, she was shy and anxious, and finally raised her chin, and said with a flush on her face: "Shen Gongzi, I have a scripture question, I want to ask you for advice." ”

Mrs. Tang patted her leg and said, "What else do you want to do at this time?" When can't you do it? ”

Tang Yan understood, her eyes lit up, Mo'er really had a bit of a scheming, it was clear that she was asking Shen Ao to do the question, in fact, it meant that she was the fiancé of the school, Shen Ao made it, it was a metaphor for her approval, if she couldn't do it, but it was a later story.

Tang Yan stroked his head and said: "Okay, good, Shen Ao, you have to be careful, if you can't do it, I, Tang, have no choice but to sweep you out of the house, and you are not allowed to visit my house in the future." This sentence is a hint, which means that if you do not make a question, the matter of marriage will not be mentioned again; However, hehe, Tang Yan thought in his heart, if Mo'er likes Shen Ao, this topic will naturally not be difficult, with Shen Ao's knowledge, it will be easy!

Shen Ao also understood, and said, "Please ask Miss Mo'er to ask for the question." ”

Tang Mo'er hesitated for a moment and said, "If a gentleman is not heavy, he is not powerful, and he is not solid in learning." Shen Gongzi, please solve the problem. She looked extremely solemn, looking at Shen Ao expectantly with a pair of eyes, but she quickly drooped, and it was not good to continue to look directly at Shen Ao.

Shen Ao immediately understood that this sentence came from the "Analects of Confucius, Xueer", and that learning was the first sentence of the opening chapter of the "Analects", which was to warn those who cultivate the Tao to be diligent, not just to talk and not practice, but to prove it by example. In this way, if we study and confirm with an unmoved heart, we can obtain the true meaning of the Analects.

And if a gentleman is not important, he is not authoritative, which means that if a person is not self-respecting, his prestige and prestige will be gone. This is a short sentence, the topic is very simple, but it is not difficult to solve the question, Shen Ao glanced at Tang Mo'er, and thought to himself: "Miss Mo'er, is this deliberately releasing water?" He suddenly understood, this was not a release of water, this was Tang Mo'er's deliberate statement, such an easy question, Shen Ao would definitely be able to answer it, which means that she has already agreed to the marriage proposal, but it is not easy to clarify.

Shen Ao's heart warmed, Mo'er's heart was gentle, and there were a lot of small ideas; He smiled slightly: "A gentleman is a learner, you have its own quality and must do your best." Miss Mo'er, is it okay for students to solve problems? ”

Tang Mo'er hesitated to answer, Tang Yan couldn't help but nod and said: "This is a good problem, a gentleman is good at learning, you have its quality and must do your best, okay, this is the real attitude of learning." ”

Tang Mo'er smiled with a little shame: "Shen Gongzi is talented, Mo'er admires it." Then he said: "It's not early, Shen Gongzi should go back and rest early, and he will enter the palace to thank him, don't delay." ”

Tang Mo'er's words were self-evident, and Tang Yan immediately stood up and said, "Shen Ao, I'll give you a ride." ”

Shen Ao and Tang Yan walked all the way to the outside of the fence, Tang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Shen Ao, you have understood Mo'er's intentions, right?" ”

Shen Ao nodded and said, "Student understands." ”

Tang Yan said: "Hurry up about the marriage, tell the elders in your family early, you can't delay any longer, you are my student, I am the most respected, I can find you to be my son-in-law, I am also very happy, the student is half a son, and the son-in-law is also half a son, I Tang Yan has no heirs, and I will treat you as my own son in the future." ”

Shen Ao coughed, nodded, and said to Tang Yan: "The student knows what to do, my lord, go back first, there is no need to send it again." ”

Tang Yan insisted on sending a few steps, not far from the Tang family, the two guards of the Jin Palace's mansion had not yet left, and when they saw Shen Ao coming out, they silently greeted him and followed behind Shen Ao.

Tang Yan said: "Ming said thank you, and you are going to give the official title in person, Shen Ao, what do you think?" ”

Shen Ao said: "If you want to do it, you still have to read books, and students don't want to do piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for a lifetime in the calligraphy and painting academy." ”

Tang Yan nodded: "This is ambition, what is the art examination for high school, if you can be admitted to the imperial examination, then it is the real ability, and there is a ladder for promotion." ”

Shen Ao deeply agreed, and entered the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, although it is also a scarlet fish bag, but this also means that Shen Ao will stay in this Academy of Calligraphy and Painting for the rest of his life, even if he is pampered, at most he is just a scholar of the Hanlin Academy of Calligraphy and Painting.

Of course, the official position of this calligraphy and painting academy must also be both, after all, the calligraphy and painting academy has nothing to do, and he can receive some money on the one hand, and he can continue to study and prepare for the imperial examination on the other side.

The two walked silently through a few neighborhoods, but they didn't know what to say, Tang Yan's identity suddenly changed from a teacher to a quasi-father-in-law, and he hadn't adapted for a while, Shen Ao thought that he was finally going to start a business, and he was also quite emotional.

"Master Tang, you better go back first, and the students will come to visit in a few days." Shen Ao suddenly stopped and said to Tang Yan again.

Tang Yan thought about it, and finally nodded: "Ming said that I asked someone to send Mo'er's birthday to the house, and you have to hurry up about the marriage, people are terrible." ”

Shen Ao nodded in response, and silently sent Tang Yan away, only then did he paced slowly in the darkness, and the two palace guards behind him followed Shen Ao step by step, Shen Ao suddenly smiled and said, "Have the two brothers ever married?" ”

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said, "I married a mother-in-law, but ...... Hehe, when I couldn't marry a daughter-in-law in the past, I was anxious, but after marrying someone, I realized that it was better to be single, leisurely, a little less worried, and easier outside. ”

Shen Ao laughed and said, "Yes, those who go out want to come in, and those who come in want to go out, what is this not a siege?" ”

The two guards listened, but they were confused.
