After finishing speaking, leaving him enough time to think, Pei Shu continued to say for her second uncle Shen,

"The examiner brushed him down mostly on the grounds that he did not cultivate his personal morality and was difficult to hold public weapons. The so-called non-cultivation of personal morality is just that the person he loves happens to come from the land of fireworks. ”

"He can resist the pressure of the world, transcend the influence of the environment, unswervingly choose the love in his heart, and promise her the position of wife, just ask, how many people can do it?"

Yan Nuan's eyelids moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Pei Shu glanced at him, and then said,

"More than ten years have passed, he has adhered to his original intention, kept his promise of a lifetime and a couple, his sincerity, his firmness, and his consistency in words and deeds, doesn't it just prove his character?"

Yan Nuan's heart was slightly turbulent.

Keen to catch his vacillation, Pei Shu's heart was slightly relieved: "In the imperial capital, where the practice of concubines and prostitutes is prevalent, don't adults think that such a person is extraordinarily precious?" ”

"In my opinion, his virtue is superior to that of officials with wives and concubines."

Yan Nuan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and his heart swirled with doubts: "Why did you choose him?" ”

Pei Jiaerlang's situation is equivalent to that of a marginal person who has been expelled from the family, and if she deduces it according to her ideas, she is obviously ready to tilt resources to him.

The old family has countless branches, and resources are limited.

Pei Shu replied: "Because he has no way out!" ”

It's short, but it's a lot.

Usually there is no way out, for fear of making a mistake, and be cautious and respectful, once they seize the opportunity, they will go all out and fight against the water.

If the giver of grace is upright, he will not dare to crook.

Looking at the clear eyes of the person opposite, Yan Nuan was not silent for too long this time: "It can be used only if it is measurable." ”

Pei Shu, who thought she was going to make a tirade, blinked, this person is upright but not pedantic, a little cute.

He said that, he didn't look at Pei Shu's expression, got up and walked out.

Unexpectedly, he left so simply and suddenly, there was really no scene, Pei Shu subconsciously leaned over, reached out and grabbed his official robe: "Wait." ”

Yan Nuan closed his eyes, staring at the delicate and slender fingers that fell on his sleeve robe, and his heart trembled faintly: "What else is the matter?" ”

Pei Shu also realized that she was abrupt, so she quickly let go of her hand, sat upright, raised her chin and ordered the dishes on the table: "I can't finish eating alone, wasting is not a good habit." ”

Yan Nuan lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, then sat back down, and ate unhurriedly with a long chopstick in his hand.

This man eats exactly the same as when he deals with government affairs, dignified and meticulous, with a straight back, chewing slowly, and quiet without a sound.

Pei Shu picked up the chopsticks and gave him the vegetables, some light and some greasy, and he ate them all.

"Have a glass of wine to relieve your greasy?" The amber liquor flows from the spout of the pot and fills the room with a very special citrus aroma.

Yan Nuan pressed his hands coldly: "I don't drink alcohol." ”

Pei Shu propped her elbows on the dining table and held her cheeks, and her smile could be called bewitching: "Fruit wine, not intoxicating, not delusional." ”

Yan Nuan squinted his gaze: "Fruit wine is also wine." ”

"Lord Yan is really self-disciplined, like an ascetic." Lazily teasing, Pei Shu stopped persuading, poured herself a drink, and squinted her eyes comfortably.

The fruit wine is sweet and refreshing, with a hint of sourness, and it is very appetizing.

Pei Shu ate three mutton burritos in one go, and when she wiped her hands, she swept the turnips on the case that no one cared about, her eyes flashed with cunning, and she took away half of the plate with a pair of chopsticks, and it fell into his bowl in an instant.

Looking at the bitter herbs piled up in the bowl, Yan Nuan frowned, and a faint look of embarrassment crossed his face, but he also ate cleanly.

Pei Shu was satisfied, laughed a few times, took another sip of fruit wine, and licked the sweet and sour taste left on the tip of her tongue: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet, he ...... every day."

His complexion was cold and his expression was bleak: "No need." ”

Pei Shu: "......"

After eating a meal, Pei Shu's deepest impression of him was that he was taciturn, boring and interesting.

It's night.

When Yan Nuan returned home, he saw his old lady sitting in the front hall waiting for the rabbit.

"A-Niang, haven't you rested so late?"

"You know it's late, too?" Guo Shi didn't have the anger to pull him to sit down, and couldn't help but say that he pushed a bunch of portrait paintings in front of him: "Come and see, if there is anything that fits the eye." ”

Yan Nuan glanced at it shallowly: "It's not suitable." ”

"Why is it inappropriate to not look at it?" Guo Shi stretched out his hand to twist him, and said,

"Son, you are not young, you used to be busy, but now that you have crossed the most difficult threshold in the officialdom and described your real duties, it is time to stop and think about lifelong events."

"Look, it's too deep, the door is too high, and I can't climb high." Yan Nuan took a sip of tea, and felt that the bitter taste of turnips seemed to be overflowing again, so he put down his lips: "Father will not agree either." ”

"Don't mention him to me." Guo Shi was annoyed: "The old thing can't see anyone for a few months, the old lady is no different from the widow, you are not a good person, go out early and return late all day, it is more difficult to see your father and son than to ascend to the sky." ”

Yan Nuan pinched his eyebrows helplessly: "Auntie, pay attention to the wording." ”

Guo's eyes widened: "What, do you think I'm speaking rudely?" If I hadn't kindly picked up your father back then, the old thing would have frozen to death on the streets, would there still be you? ”

"I don't dislike it." Yan Nuan sighed: "My father is in the Ministry of Labor, and his official affairs are complicated, and he is entangled in many affairs of civil engineering and water conservancy construction in the country. ”

Guo Shi waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk to your wife and me, I'm upset when I listen to it." ”

Yan's father is a Jinshi who was admitted to the cold family, and Guo's family was born in a butcher's family, and he has a bold and pungent temperament.

Although the wife of an official has also learned to put on a mask to socialize over the years, when there are no outsiders, the original form will be revealed if you don't pay attention to it.

Yan Nush was speechless.

Seeing that his son couldn't beat a fart with a stick, Guo Shi was even more angry, and slapped the table: "You have to give me a letter today, when do you plan to delay getting married?" ”

Yan Nuan pinched his eyebrows and said tiredly: "If there is a suitable one, I will talk about it." ”

"How many years have you fooled me with this sentence, ah!" Guo Shi laughed angrily: "You were not born to me by a monk in your last life, you are not like a person with a pure heart and few desires." ”

Yan Nush: "......"

Guo Shi looked his son up and down: "The rumors outside can't be true, right?" ”

Yan Nuan was expressionless: "A-Niang, the rumors are not credible." ”

Such a sentence is obviously not convincing to Guo, she wiped her tears and recalled the past,

"In the early years, in order to provide for your father's education, I endured all the hardships of the world, and I lost my body early, and when I gave birth to you, I also stepped into the ghost gate. The old thing is still affectionate, and I haven't accepted a concubine over the years, our family has only one seedling for you, if I can give birth to three or four, what do you like, I won't be rare to stop you. ”

"Son-in-law, the situation of our family is not successful, what kind of face does my mother have when she dies to see the ancestors of the Yan family!"

Yan Nuan's expression softened: "It's a non-existent thing." ”

"Okay, I believe you, then you pick one." Guo's tears came and went quickly, and he turned his head and leaned towards him with the portrait in his hand.

Yan Nuan insisted on his opinion: "It's really not good here. ”

Guo Shi hung a backward back: "Roll on." ”

The mother and son parted unhappily.
