Chapter 52: Affection
After a while, the butler returned.
Inform Liang Hongdao: "Liang Huiyuan, the master is invited." β
Liang Hong said "thank you", and then walked into the hall, only to hear the back door closed by the housekeeper.
Naturally, the inside of the house was a little darker than the outside.
But under the candle light inside, it doesn't feel dark.
At this time, in this hall, Xu Qiushan was holding a book and watching, Liang Hong walked in, Xu Qiushan put down the book, rubbed his eyes slightly, and said to Liang Hong: "Coming?" β
Liang Hong immediately saluted: "The student has seen the adult. β
Xu Qiushan looked at Liang Hong for a long time, and smiled slightly, but this smile seemed much kinder than the previous impression Xu Qiushan gave Liang Hong, and said, "You will try to perform well." But why do you still call me an adult? β
As soon as Liang Hong heard this, a burst of ecstasy immediately surged in his heart, but he quickly calmed down again, obviously the meaning of Xu Qiushan's words was obviously not for Liang Hong to call him father-in-law, Liang Hong would have been wrong at first, but soon Liang Hong reacted, after all, Liang Hong had not married Xu Miaoya at this time.
Only after getting Xu Qiushan's verbal promise that he would marry his daughter to him in Liang Hong's entrance examination.
Therefore, at this time, Xu Qiushan's meaning is actually - "Student, meet the teacher!" Liang Hong said again.
There was a hint of appreciation in Xu Qiushan's eyes, that's right, Liang Hong should indeed call Xu Qiushan a teacher!
Because of the practice of the Dakang Dynasty, especially the practice in the examination room, that is, starting from the county examination of the children's examination and ending with the final examination, the chief examiner, if he passes the examination, the chief examiner is the student's teacher.
It's normal for students to call "teacher".
And the main examiner of this examination is Xu Qiushan, so Liang Hong called him "teacher", which is the proper title, but as soon as Liang Hong came in just now, he still had his usual thinking, so he called him "adult".
And the appreciation in Xu Qiushan's eyes was also satisfied with Liang Hong's eagerness, after all, his sentence "However, why do you still call me an adult?" There is ambiguity in this statement.
Two meanings, it depends on how Liang Hong is going to answer, but obviously Liang Hong's answer satisfies Xu Qiushan, if Liang Hong directly calls his father-in-law, then Xu Qiushan may be very disappointed, after all, such an IQ may not last long in the officialdom.
Of course, under your own care, it is natural to say that you are old, and you can't always shelter your daughter and son-in-law for a lifetime, and many situations need to be borne by them personally.
If Liang Hong can't even pass his Xu Qiushan's temptation, Xu Qiushan may really think about his daughter marrying Liang Hong, whether it is a correct choice.
"Well," Xu Qiushan responded lightly, and then said, "Your exam paper, the old man has read it, it is very well written, and it can be won by the Huiyuan, naturally it is not the old man who cheats, you also know that from the boy's test to the current examination, it is all a vague name system, and the old man didn't know that it was your paper beforehand." β
"Thank you for the reward!" Although the other party said that it was not Xu Qiushan's credit to win the Huiyuan this time, Liang Hong would still say beautiful words, and everyone liked to listen to beautiful words.
Xu Qiushan only smiled at Liang Hong's compliments, then sighed again, and said: "Since you have won the Huiyuan, there are some things that you should know and know, so as not to step into the court in the future and not be able to share the situation of the court." β
"Teacher, please speak." Liang Hong hurriedly made a respectful gesture and said.
"The first thing you have to know is that our Dakang Dynasty Hall is now a hall of words, and what were the secondary auxiliary parties and the first auxiliary party in the past, but now, all of them are gone," Xu Qiushan said in a solemn voice: "Now you just need to remember, you have to listen to the emperor in everything, if the emperor is not available, it is what the master of ceremonies says."
In short, the Cabinet, heh, is now the third largest force. β
It seemed that he talked about what Xu Qiushan was unhappy about, so he didn't want to say more, and finally said: "That's it, I'll tell you this, it's good if you know, be specific, and ask the old man when the time comes." β
Liang Hong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "The student knows." β
At this time, Xu Qiushan didn't say anything more, just sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, and took a sip gently, Liang Hong knew that this was serving tea to send off guests, Liang Hong hurriedly said: "The student said goodbye." β
"Hmm." Xu Qiushan sighed.
Then Liang Hong walked out of the hall, but he was a little disappointed in his heart, and he couldn't see Xu Miaoya in Xu's mansion.
However, Liang Hong also understood that he wanted Xu Qiushan to say, "Are you going to see my daughter?" This sentence is certainly impossible.
After all, that is the father of someone's daughter, and the father looks at his aunt, which is almost meaningful throughout the ages, and he will take the initiative to push other people's baby daughters to others, which is impossible.
Liang Hong was like this, and under the steward's send-off, he came to the gate of Xu's mansion, and a carriage from Xu's mansion drove over, and the housekeeper said to Liang Hong: "Liang Huiyuan, you can leave in a carriage." β
Liang Hong hurriedly said, "Thank you." Then he got into the carriage with a dull heart, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he first smelled a familiar fragrance, and Liang Hong was shocked and was about to blurt out: "Yaya!" But a soft "shh~" sounded.
Liang Hongbu realized that he was a little out of shape, sat on the other side of the carriage, lowered his voice and said softly: "Why did you get into the carriage?" β
Xu Miaoya grinned softly, and then said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's okay, the coachman is my man, I'm in the carriage, no one will know." β
Liang Hong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, after all, this is in the Xu Mansion, and he has not yet left the gate of the Xu Mansion, if the two are found to have a tryst in the carriage, what will be the consequences, Liang Hong does not dare to think, after all, the two are only verbal marriage contracts now, and they have not officially married,ββ especially these big families, there are still many rules.
By this time the coachman had whipped his whip, and the carriage began to move and ran out of the house.
As soon as they came out of Xu's mansion, both of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Miaoya said at this time, her voice was no longer so low, and she smiled and said very proudly: "I really didn't expect that Honglang would be able to pass the Huiyuan exam!" β
After she said this, she let out a long sigh and said, "Now, see who will say that Honglang's fame is a reward and a water!" β
Liang Hong looked at the carriage, although it was dark, but at this time Liang Hong had adapted to the environment, he could see that Xu Miaoya was unconvinced but finally raised his eyebrows, Liang Hong felt very warm, and he said softly: "Thank you, Yaya." β
Xu Miaoya was stunned, "What's wrong?" β
Then she felt her body tighten, and she was already a body, and she was hugged into her arms, and he whispered in her ear, "I feel so happy to be able to have a fiancΓ©e like you, Yaya, I love you so much." β
Xu Miaoya's face suddenly turned red, she twisted her body slightly, but then she quieted down again, was silent for a while, and finally stretched out her hands to hug each other, and whispered in Liang Hong's ear: "I, I love you so much, Honglang!" β
After all, she is an ancient woman, and she can't let go of her bold expression for a while, but in the face of her lover's expression of her heart, Xu Miaoya is happy after all, so she also said so gently.
