The voice fell, and with a click, the mechanism in the hand of the girl in red had already fallen on the carpet of the carriage, making a dull sound, and she didn't seem to be able to react to what her father said.

After a while, Fang Cai's face turned pale and said:

"Is Dad kidding?"

Su Shengyuan said: "How can a father be so easy to play with such a big matter as a child's in-law? It is really this child's talent to fly, just like a dragon in the wild, just waiting for the time, but a few years, it will inevitably soar up the clouds and soar between the four fields of Kyushu. ”

"At that time, it will be well-known in the world, and I'm afraid that those families in the imperial city will be on the list to catch their sons-in-law......"

He originally wanted to say that it was difficult for you to get along with your daughter at that time.

But the voice paused, and did not speak, but said:

"And he has a straight personality, and has integrity, although he is poor now, but it will never last too long, if you can treat him sincerely when he is poor, even if he rises to the clouds, when he is famous, he will never fail you, it can be described as a good match."

Su Shengyuan said slowly.

Parents have far-reaching plans for their children.

When the dragon was in the shallows, it was the best destination he could foresee for his daughter, but the girl in red was pale, her fingers were stirred together, and finally she gritted her teeth against her father's gaze, shook her head slowly, and said:

"Daughter, I don't want to ......"

Su Shengyuan was stunned, he was not angry, but asked softly:

"Why?"

The girl in red was about to answer, but from the young man's behavior and temperament, she couldn't find the slightest problem, her appearance was not handsome, but she was also resolute and calm, and she had her own style, so she hesitated, so she had to bite her lower lip lightly, and said what she thought, and said:

"He, his family is poor, and he has no elders to support him, even if he is talented and learned, how far can he go in his career?!"

As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was not good, but it was difficult to return, so I had to bite the bullet and say: "Daddy asked me to read the history books, since ancient times, there have been geniuses from generation to generation, but how many people can go upstream?" And those with five surnames and seven sects, even if they are mediocre, can be honored as officials and enter and exit dignitaries. ”

"Is his talent more powerful than that of the Five Surnames and Seven Sects?"

"Daughter, daughter doesn't want to ......"

Su Shengyuan was stunned for a long time, looked at his daughter, and his eyes were complicated:

"Let you read history, it seems that you have indeed read something......"

The curtain of the carriage door was opened, and a handsome young man wearing a brocade robe and a jade crown entered, and said with a loud smile: "Uncle Su, what Sister Yue'er said, although there is something slightly inappropriate, but there is no truth in it?" ”

"That Qi Wufu may be talented, but the world is so vast, he has talent to learn, where did he get his door in? Besides, although I am not talented, but I am conceited and have some skills, even if I don't have a posthumous family, I may not be worse than that. ”

This handsome young man has a smile on the corner of his lips, and his demeanor is handsome, he is from Su Shengyuan's wife's family, and he made a special trip to pick them up, and the legend is that he has a little relationship with the Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven sects, Su Shengyuan saw that the young man was vigorous, and saw his daughter's cheeks flushed slightly, and suddenly sighed secretly, and said naturally, and never mentioned this matter again.

……………………

Qi Wufu sent Mr. Su out, and watched the carriage they were riding in rush all the way, the wheels expediting the wind and snow, and slamming away from the only spacious avenue in the entire town before turning around.

Open the package, in addition to a few pieces of clothing, there is still a little bit of broken silver, about three big money, and now the price of rice is a little expensive, a pound is only ten big money, pork and mutton, cut a hind leg so much back is not more than 100 Wen, the city maid, but five taels of silver, three hanging big money, enough for a family to survive this winter, more than enough.

In addition to this, there are several volumes of books full of annotations.

Qi Wufu held these things in his hands, only to feel heavier than before.

Suddenly, the old man in the courtyard knocked on the table and said with a long smile:

"Boy, what are you doing in a daze?"

"The tea is ready, come and drink a few cups with the old man."

Qi Wufu put away his things and replied, "I haven't cooked yet." ”

The old man didn't care, he just lifted the teapot, poured two cups, held a cup of tea, watched Qi Wufu clean up the cooking, and the young man cooked the rice, then washed his hands and came over to sit next to the stone table.

The old man's skills in cooking tea are very good, and the fragrance of the tea is far and ethereal, even if Qi Wufu, who has not drunk any good tea, can feel that this tea is probably much better than the small pot of tea that Mr. Su cherishes very much.

The old man took a sip of tea, glanced at the room, and said with a smile: "Mr. Na Su taught in this small town before?" I hear he expects a lot from you. ”

"Why, the little guy doesn't like the gold and silver in the room, and he doesn't like beauties like fairies, but he wants to study and take the imperial examination?"

Qi Wufu sat upright and drank tea and nodded.

The old man stroked his beard: "Why? ”

Qi Wufu fumbled with his fingers for the cup, and said after a long time: "When I was young, my father was studying, and he once touched my back with his hand, saying that he wanted men to study to show their talents, report to their family and country, and stretch their ambitions. ”

"My hometown was hit by a catastrophe, and along the way, I saw hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and the officials at that time did not act, if they could have done it, I think there would have been fewer deaths."

"If you can be a civil official, you will amend the bill in the DPRK and China, implement good policies, and benefit the people; If you are a general, you can command the powerful soldiers, go to the demon country, and avenge the people who died in vain at the hands of the demons. ”

"You can do whatever you want."

The voice paused, and then said: "In and out, you can also know the heroes of the world, and see the many prosperity in the world. ”

The old man just sneered.

The boy said, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?" ”

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head: "It's all wrong, it can be said that it is a big mistake. ”

"What do you say is civil and martial, if you are an official, but it is just a knife in the emperor's hand, it is an eagle dog in captivity, where the emperor asks you to go, you will go, what you do, the so-called relief of the people, resist the demon clan, all require the emperor's approval, you can mobilize manpower, and if the emperor does not have this will, even if he has great skills, it is useless."

"When you have no use value, I will abandon you."

"You said it wouldn't be precarious."

"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, how do you know who is more terrifying between the sneaky in the court and the demons outside the square? Oh, you might as well let it go, fame and fortune are just mortal hearts. ”

The old man sighed: "You have talent, you can see through good and evil, know honor and disgrace, disdain wealth and wealth, regard beauty as smoke and dust, and wine and wealth cannot be mistaken for a king, why can't you peep through the word [name]?" ”

Qi Wufu pondered for a long time, and said calmly:

"My father-in-law's heartfelt words."

"But I'm still young."

"There are many prosperous people in this world, talented and beautiful women, happy lovers, heroic warriors, I haven't seen it yet, maybe after I see this, I will come to the same conclusion as my father-in-law, but I was also old at that time."

Qi Wufu said to himself with emotion:

"One word of the name, this life is broken."

The old man said with a smile: "Broken in this life? Why do you have to do that?! ”

After saying this, he didn't say anything more, just invited Qi Wufu to drink tea and chat, if it was the third, a pot of tea had been drunk in an instant, Qi Wufu suddenly felt sleepy, and his eyelids were fighting, and the yellow rice over there was far from being ready.

The old man smiled: "No confusion and sleepiness? ”

"If you're sleepy, go and rest."

Qi Wufu originally planned to refuse, but he was too sleepy, so he had to agree, and when he got up, he stumbled and found that his pillow was missing, and he couldn't find it after looking for a long time.

Originally, he was going to fall asleep directly, but the old man took out another pillow, which seemed to be of jade texture, white jade and flawless, and greeted him with a smile:

"Come on, come on, I have a pillow here, it was given to me by a Taoist priest from Youfang, I heard that I can see many wonders in my dreams, and take it to sleep, don't worry, the meal is ready, I will call you again."

Qi Wufu was even more sleepy, nodded, hugged the pillow and went back to sleep, the old man sat in the courtyard, stroked his beard and smiled, and said:

"Fame and fortune, wine and wealth, give you a chance today, and see if you are addicted to Lilu or can break your heart."

"Let's go dream."

The old man poured tea alone, obviously he had just finished drinking, but at this moment it was endless, and he raised his eyes and said to himself: "It's a pity, there is no tea and no flowers to appreciate." ”

Suddenly, the soil is broken, there is a different grass to grow in the wind, and it has turned into a cold plum in a moment, which blooms in an instant, the fragrance of flowers is far away, and the fragrance of tea is more exquisite.

He also said, "It's a pity, there are flowers but no snow." ”

In an instant, there has been falling snow, but not contaminated into this courtyard, the fragrance of tea, cold plum, flying snow, it is really a wonderful scenery, the old man drinks tea, ethereal and lonely, not this world, holding a cup and lightly tapping the stone table, every time you click it is to say to yourself:

"Beauty, heroism, fame, profit, wealth."

"Heh......"

Shaking his head and laughing: "It's just a dream." ”

Drink a cup of tea, pinch the cup in your hand, look down at the dry grass in winter, and whisper plainly:

"Prosperity sees through."

"You can enter the fairy gate."
