Chapter 250: Begging for Water

Because Zhong Dexuan said it with a smile, Feng Xu only thought he was joking.

However, Feng Xu replied.

"Brother Zhong, don't say that.

It is my blessing to be able to marry Mrs. Chen. ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation and asked Zhong Dexuan to come in.

When Zhong Dexuan heard Feng Xu's words, his face couldn't help but tremble twice, afraid that Feng Xu would see that something was wrong, so he hurriedly walked a few steps and followed Feng Xu to his courtyard.

Although this courtyard is a side courtyard, it looks quiet and elegant.

In the corner of the courtyard, there is a pomegranate tree with a stone table and four stone benches under the tree.

Feng Xu beckoned him to sit down on this stone bench, then went into the house to make a pot of tea, poured a cup of tea for Zhong Dexuan, and placed it in front of him.

When Feng Xu entered the house, Zhong Dexuan actually wanted to follow him into the house to see what it looked like inside.

It's just that Feng Xu didn't invite him, and he took the liberty to go in, for fear that it would make Feng Xu disgusted and vigilant.

Therefore, Zhong Dexuan drooped his eyelids and was thinking.

said thank you to Feng Xu for the hot tea handed over, and after taking it, he pecked lightly, and Zhong Dexuan's hand was suddenly stunned.

This brew is actually this year's new tea?

"Brother Feng, you are really bold enough, you actually drank this year's new tea so early?"

Zhong Dexuan suppressed the jealousy in his heart, squeezed out a smile, and said with a smile at Feng Xu.

"Ah, is this this this year's new tea?

I really don't know, it was a few days ago that Mrs. Ning sent some to Master Chen.

Mr. Chen forwarded some to me, and I didn't want to drink them, so I kept them in the house. ”

Feng Xu didn't expect that this tea was actually new tea, so he picked it up and took a sip, and it was really fragrant and tasted very good.

I sighed for a moment in my heart, I didn't expect Old Madam Ning to value his future father-in-law so much.

This good tea before the Ming Dynasty is the most precious, and the small bag that Master Chen gave him is afraid that it will cost a few taels of silver!

When Zhong Dexuan heard Feng Xu's words, his heart became even more uncomfortable.

He felt that Feng Xu was obviously showing off to him.

"By the way, Brother Feng, I came this time mainly for your marriage.

Hey, don't you know, the whole Fengzhen knows about what you're going to do.

Your father and mother are crying at home day and night, and their eyes are almost blind from crying, just because you are so rich, you are letting everyone poke their backbones!

Brother Feng, uncles and aunts only have your two sons, if you are rich now, where will they put their two elders' faces? ”

Zhong Dexuan put down the teacup in his hand and said to Feng Xu seriously.

When Feng Xu heard Zhong Dexuan say this, he recalled the attitude of his parents when he went home before, and he was suddenly silent.

Although his parents did something wrong, as a son of man, he naturally couldn't say that his parents were wrong.

Let's not mention this matter related to his future imperial examination, and if his parents accuse him of disobedience because of this, I am afraid that not only will he have nothing to do with being an official in his life, but he will also have to be arrested.

"Brother Zhong, thank you for running around for me, I know this matter in my heart."

Feng Xu didn't explain much to Zhong Dexuan, just smiled at him, and then diverted the topic and talked about the content of some books he had learned these days.

Zhong Dexuan saw that Feng Xu didn't take the bait, although he was in a hurry, he didn't continue.

Moreover, when he listened to what Feng Xu said, he actually said something in every word, and he was suddenly shocked.

Unexpectedly, Feng Xu has only been here for so long, and he has made rapid progress?

The next imperial examination, I'm afraid I will be on the list, but it will be a matter of time.

Zhong Dexuan made an appointment with Feng Xu, and asked Feng Xu to remember to call him when he returned to Fengzhen next time.

When the time comes, he will accompany Feng Xu to go home together, so as not to make Feng's father and mother unhappy when he gets it, and it will be bad to make trouble!

Feng Xu didn't rush to agree, just smiled.

Zhong Dexuan's heart was in turmoil at the moment, and he felt that things were a little out of control, so he quickly quit, and then went back with a heavy heart.

When Feng Xu saw Zhong Dexuan leaving, he looked absent-minded, although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't think much about anything else.

Zhong Dexuan, who hurried back all the way, didn't notice that there was a tail following behind him.

He kept going back to the house he rented, and then he vented all his frustration today.

Ping Pong smashed everything that could be dropped at home.

It's just that when he came back to his senses and saw the mess, his mood was not half better.

The tail that followed Zhong Dexuan, after following Fengzhen, glanced at one of the two people who came to Fengzhen before and asked him to follow.

After all, I am a stranger, and I was on the road before, and I was hiding it, even if I saw it, I could say that I was passing by.

But now that they have arrived in Fengzhen, most of them are acquaintances.

He is such a stranger, if he follows Zhong Dexuan to his place, he will definitely be noticed.

One of the younger ones quickly followed Zhong Dexuan, and then nested in the corner of the wall of Zhong Dexuan's house, as if he was a little beggar who was desperate and found a place to lie down and sleep.

For such a person, most people passing by will not give one.

His family is poor, how can he have spare money to reward such a little beggar?

Moreover, looking at the age of the little beggar, it is estimated that he must be more than ten years old, if he is diligent, he will not be reduced to the point of begging if he does odd jobs and coolies!

So, the little beggar lay in that corner, and at the end of the day, no one gave a penny.

However, he didn't care, so he hunched his neck and nested.

Actually, it was attached to the wall and listened carefully to the movement inside.

The people who originally followed Zhong Dexuan went to inquire about Zhong Dexuan.

Jiang Luochun, who had followed Zhong Dexuan before, first glanced at the little beggar quietly, and then knocked on the door of a house next door to Zhong Dexuan.

"Who?"

Hearing a knock on the door, an older woman raised her voice and asked.

"Auntie, can you ask for a drink?"

The woman inside was stunned for a moment when she heard a man's voice, and then opened a door and handed out a gourd with a scoop of water.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much, auntie!"

Jiang Luochun originally thought that this lady would not open the door, but unexpectedly, she actually scooped up the water and nodded her head again and again in surprise.

When Aunt Ruan saw this young man like this, the original vigilance on her face was a little less.

"Don't thank you, let's hurry up!"

After speaking, he stuffed the gourd containing water into Jiang Luochun's hand.

Jiang Luochun followed Zhong Dexuan all the way from Dahuaishu Village to Fengzhen here, he was indeed tired and thirsty.

Now when he saw the water that Aunt Ruan stuffed into her hand, she immediately raised her head and drank the whole scoop of water.

After drinking, Jiang Luochun wiped his mouth and thanked Aunt Ruan again.

It's just that before Aunt Ruan took the gourd containing water, she heard the sound of ping-pong smashing in the courtyard of the Zhong family next door, which startled Jiang Luochun and Aunt Ruan.
