The guy replied very decisively: "It's inconvenient." ”

With that, he hurried downstairs.

Huai'an stepped forward and explained: "Inside is my brother and sister, and there is a friend, it is really not convenient, if you have anything to say, I can convey it for you." ”

Lin Xiuping suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is a female guest, it's really abrupt!" ”

Huai Anxin thought: It's really a pig's nose with green onions and garlic, if you want to chase my sister, just say it! stared at it for a long time, could it be that it was a woman? It's not a costume drama, you can't see men and women when you put on men's clothes.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiuping was really not polite to him, asked the guy for pen and ink, and wrote down a couplet.

"I'm tired of the virtuous brother." As he spoke, he also made a gesture towards Huai'an.

Huai An said polite words first, and it was not easy to shirk at this time, he glanced at Lin Xiuping up and down, and his eyes were scrutinizing: Well, it is needless to say that he is talented, and his appearance is also middle and upper, so he can barely ...... Seven points.

Therefore, without further ado, he tore through the manuscript paper, knocked on the door and entered the Green Pine Pavilion next door.

The meals were all ready, and everyone was greeting him: "Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you!" ”

Rong He is funny, never puts on a shelf in front of his friends, and young people quickly get acquainted, leaving their identities behind for the time being, and no one pays attention to red tape.

Huai'an entered the table hungry, but he still took out the pair of upper couplets from his sleeve first: "Sister, this is given to you by a show next door - Lin Vice Xian's eldest grandson." ”

Sister Peng'er widened her eyes, excited to eat a big melon.

Huai'an picked up a cake as thin as a cicada's wings, sandwiched two slices of duck meat and dipped it in sweet noodle sauce, then put shredded green onions and cucumber strips, rolled them into small rolls, and handed them to his sister.

Rong He looked at him dumbfounded.

Sister Peng will be eleven years old during the New Year, eating shrimp, fish, roast duck, and relying on her brother's help.

Huai'an has long been used to it, Shen Yu and Xu Tinglan have told him several times that his sister will have to eat by herself one day, and he will be regarded as a deaf ear.

Huaiwei was not ashamed at all, she opened it generously, and saw Huaiyuan poking her head out to look at her, so she simply stuffed it to her brother: "Brother, I'm too lazy to waste my brain, you can help me go back." ”

She's still busy eating roast duck!

Huaiyuan smiled narrowly, picked up the pen and casually matched a pair of lower links on the paper, and handed it back to Huai'an.

Huai'an put it down halfway through eating, took the manuscript paper and handed it to Lin Xiuping.

Lin Xiuping read it three times with emotion, and said excitedly: "Sister Ling is really a talented Dao Yun!" There is also this word, the iron painting silver hook, the force penetrates the back of the paper, and it does not lose the strength of the man. ”

Huai'an almost laughed out loud, but he didn't lose the strength of a man.

Lin Xiuping still didn't give up, and came out with another uplink.

Huai'an's face was black: "Brother Xiuping, if you don't eat, people still have to eat." ”

"The last pair, don't take it as an example." Lin Xiuping said.

Huai'an looked helpless, so he had to send it in again.

Huai Wei personally mentioned the next couplet this time, but still asked Huaiyuan to help her ghostwrite, Huai An was busy eating roast duck, so she turned around and called a guy and asked him to hand it over.

Soon, Lin Xiuping asked someone to send a poem to praise Momei in front of the court, which was actually a metaphor for flowers.

Huai Wei's face was not different, but she silently put away the poem.

Fortunately, Lin Xiuping didn't entangle anymore, and after this poem, the opposite side would have opened a banquet, otherwise Huai'an really wanted to tie up this guy and throw him outside to be with those yacha - it was too noisy, and he didn't let people eat.

No one noticed that in the southeast corner of the second floor, two middle-aged men were observing everything in the store.

"Cao Gong lived in Sanshui Hutong back then, and he liked to eat this roast duck the most. Now that the southeast is peaceful and Quanzhou is open to the sea, even this small workshop has become a magnificent restaurant, I don't know what Cao Gong Jiuquan will think. ”

This person's name is Lu Ziyi, one of Cao Yu's staff members back then, and he has spared no effort to travel around these years, sorting out Cao Yu's notes and poems, and publishing them, just to one day rehabilitate the owner.

"Brother Ziyi, don't worry, I will write to Your Majesty in the past few days, asking the court to give Cao justice." The person who said this was Liu Hua, the current military officer, who was a jinshi in the third year of Yongli, and the emperor personally promoted him to this position in order to weaken Zheng Ge's control over the Yan Road.

Young forces are growing, and like the newly enthroned emperors, they are ambitious and eager to reform and eliminate abuses, and old-fashioned officials like Zheng Qian will soon become their wayblock.

Lu Ziyi saw this, and found his fellow countryman Liu Hua in the hope of finding an opportunity to rehabilitate Cao Yu in the upcoming changes in the court situation, even if he was used by the new faction and became a tool to fight the old faction, he did not hesitate.

……

After the guests were full of wine and food, the guests checked out and left the table, and Boss Meng personally stood at the door to greet them and ask them to give valuable advice.

Huai'an accompanied the prince to open the door and go out, Lin Xiuping stood outside the door of the box next door, looking down against the railing, and when he saw Huai'an and them, he bowed his hand from afar.

Huai'an hurriedly returned the salute and took everyone downstairs.

Seeing the prince's carriage slowly leave under the protection of Hu Cong, Huai'an helped Sister Peng to board the carriage, and Huaiwei Huaiyuan also got into the carriage one after another.

Boss Meng grabbed Huai'an and pointed to a string of yacha that was about to freeze into ice dumplings at the base of the wall: "Son, what should these people do?" ”

"Hasn't anyone come to the government yet?" Huai'an asked.

"There is a master, I heard that you are eating in there and dare not disturb, so I went back again." Boss Meng said.

"What's going on!" Huai'an Road.

As he was talking, he saw the pusher of Shuntianfu coming over with a team of yacha, and when he saw Huai'an, he smiled: "Virtuous nephew, it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple." ”

Huai'an also saluted him politely: "Uncle Zou, it's rude, it's rude, my little nephew's joke really shocked you!" ”

Zou Tuiguan patted Huai'an's arm: "I've heard that it's the uncle's majesty who is not strict, even if these people oppress the good people and expropriate tyranny, and it is purely self-inflicted on me to bump into the virtuous nephew today, so I will take them back, impose heavy punishments, drive them out of the government, and give the people an explanation." ”

Huai'an said with a smile: "Uncle Zou is really high-spirited, and he loves the people like a son." ”

So, watching a string of frozen ice dumplings being pressed by the yacha, they walked towards the government office, and the merchants who had been oppressed for a long time along the way threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at them.

Sister Peng ate very happily, and on the way back, she asked Huai'an: "It's Lin Gongzi who was pestled at the door just now, right?" ”

"yes." Huai'an Road.

"Looks like a talent." Huaiyuan commented.

Looking at Huai Wei again, her cheeks were slightly red, and the four of them changed the topic, discussing where to go for the New Year's vacation, which day to do New Year's goods, which day to visit the temple fair, and assigned the Spring Festival couplets tasks of each door and courtyard, talking and laughing all the way, and having fun.

Huai'an thought of his eldest brother's family, cousin and cousin who were far away in Quanzhou, and felt a little emotional, this year's Chinese New Year is destined to be no more lively than in previous years. Thinking about my cousin who is discussing marriage, I am afraid that in a year or two, my sister will also get married.

A few days later, the Lin family asked someone to come to find out, and learned that Huaiwei had not yet promised to be married, so he explained his intentions, saying that the Lin family and grandchildren were not yet married, and the two children were about the same age, and they wanted to match the marriage of the two families.

In the evening, Shen Yu called Huai'an to the house: "I heard that you have been very close to the Lin family and the Zeng family recently?" ”

Huai'an nodded inexplicably, his father and mother had asked him what friends he had made outside for a long time.

"That Lin Xiuping, how is he?" Shen Yu asked.

Huai'an said very seriously: "I haven't heard of any drunken prostitution, but in terms of noble and pure quality, there is still a little gap between me and me." ”

The funny husband and wife laughed dumbly: "You are really not modest at all." ”

Xu Tinglan asked her husband again what the other party's family background was.

Huai Shen Yu said slowly, the deputy capital Yu Shi Lin Baiquan, who was the fifteenth in the second class back then, was a Jishi, a successful career, and a smooth career, but most of the children and grandchildren were not very competitive, but the five sons had never produced a showman, and only the eldest son got a false position by virtue of his father's shadow - like Huai'an.

Huai'an couldn't help but protest: "You can talk as you go, don't always take me." ”

Shen Yu smiled: "It's not a bad word. ”

Huai'an rolled his eyes, not as knowledgeable as him.

Shen Yu said again: "This Lin Xiuping is the most promising one of the two generations of the Lin family, and he is also the grandson that Lin Vice Xian values the most. ”

Xu Tinglan flipped out a stack of "resumes" on the desk and looked through them carefully: "It sounds like the most suitable person so far." ”

Seeing her like this, Shen Yu couldn't help but quip: "The emperor and queen are not as serious as you in choosing a concubine for the crown prince." ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Xu Tinglan glared at him, and marked seriously in a pile of "resumes": "What do you know, a woman's marriage is comparable to the second reincarnation, and the children of our family are like treasures, if Mingzhu secretly casts and is bullied, you will laugh at me again at that time, I will never refute you." ”

Shen Yu retorted: "Our mother's family is behind her back, who dares to bully her?" ”

Xu Tinglan couldn't cry or laugh: "The life is lived by her husband, because her mother's family is powerful, she treats her well, do you like it?" ”

Shen Yu: "That's right. ”

Xu Tinglan concluded: "So after all, it depends on the family style and morality. This Lin Xiuping, his grandfather was highly respected, I don't have to say it, what about his parents? ”

Shen Yu said honestly this time: "I'll inquire again." ”

Huai'an looked at his father for a while, looked at his mother for a while, laughed secretly for a while, and was kicked in the ass by his father without paying attention: "Just know a smile, you can also help inquire." ”

Huai'an protested again: "You will be fierce at me, and you will talk to my mother loudly!" ”

Shen Yu is another kick, I didn't plant where you came from!

This time he kicked in the air, and Huai'an grimaced at him and ran out the door.

Chapter 161

In this world, the criteria for judging a man's quality are too simple, a woman must be pure, virtuous and virtuous, but a man can not be a saint, as long as he is knowledgeable, takes the right path, and has no bad habits, that is a good person, as for how many maids and maids he has in the house, it is someone else's private affair, and outsiders cannot snoop on it.

After the Chinese New Year, Huai'an chatted with Lin Xiuping openly and honestly, and asked him why he asked to marry his sister.

Lin Xiuping said: "Sister Ling is willing to speak up for a female gentleman who plays music, which shows that he is talented and kind-hearted, your Shen family is noble and clean, and the family style is innocent, if you can marry such a woman as a wife, it is a great blessing for the foolish brother." ”

Huai'an relayed this to his father, and Shen Yu also said, The Lin family is strict, although Lin Xiuping's father has no fame, he is also a decent person, his mother recites Buddhism, is kind and charitable, and co-founded the Salesian Church with several officials and relatives, and sheltered more than a dozen orphans who were discarded.

Colleagues, relatives and friends all praised Lin Xiuping's character, filial piety and etiquette, diligence and studiousness, and even Lu Xian, the priest of the country, praised Lin Xiuping's good learning, and the title of the gold list was just around the corner.

From this day on, the movement of the two families became frequent, and Lin Baiquan invited Shen Yu to come over the house to talk about his son-in-law; Xu Tinglan invited Mrs. Lin and the grandmother of the Lin family to come to the inner house for a banquet, and they saw their daughter-in-law.

The two children are outstanding, talk appropriately, and are extremely satisfied in the eyes of their parents and elders.

The Lin family then sent a matchmaker to the door to propose marriage and began to step into the process.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is destined to be a good story for the family, and even Huaiwei herself has a good impression of Lin Xiuping.

Only Huai'an is secretly worried that Lin Xiuping, as the hope of the whole clan and the most important child in the family, is not easy to say, and it is certain that he will attract attention.

My cousin usually plays the piano at home, cooks tea, reads poems, and the people in Jiangnan are civilized, and the family never traps her in the inner house.

What's more, Lin Xiuping's personality also made Huai An'an feel bottomless.

In his previous life, he was only a high school student, and he had no social experience to speak of, only knowing that his younger brother grew up in such an environment.

The child who grows up with the stars and the moon usually has a more self-oriented personality, always puts himself first, ignores the feelings of others, and it is difficult for him to imagine how his younger brother in his previous life should get along with his other half when he grows up and gets married. But that is in modern times, people can not get married, and they can divorce if they are not in harmony, and they cannot be the same.
