"What kind of man is that boy?"

"Very calm, sat for half an hour, and the posture has not changed. I only took a sip of tea at the beginning, presumably out of courtesy, and never drank it again...... In fact, he only touched his lips in the first sip of tea, which was not like restraint, but more like cautious, thoughtful, very guarded, and even hostile. ”

"Seems to be a smart man, at least a little clever...... How old are you?"

"Fourteen years old. ”

"I think it should be that big. ”

It's just that the expression is too calm, and I always feel bigger when I look at it. ”

"Just an ordinary person?"

"Yes...... The breath is ordinary, obviously not even the marrow washing, although I can't see the potential, but I am already fourteen years old, even if I start cultivating again, there is no good future. ”

"Even if he has a future, can he still be compared to the head disciple of the Immortal Sect?"

"Madam, is the marriage contract real?"

"If the token is real, so is the marriage contract. ”

"How could the old lady be ...... back then? Ordering such a family affair for the young lady?"

"If the old lady is not dead, or can you ask for the answer...... Open the door, and I'll meet him. ”

With a creak, the door slowly opened. The clear sunlight poured into the room from the outside of the courtyard, illuminating all the corners, illuminating the bright face of the lady and the half of the jade pendant she held tightly in her hand. The old lady she had spoken to earlier stood in the corner, covered in shadows, and it was hard to even spot if you didn't look closely.

With the support of the old lady, the lady walked outside, walking slowly like the wind blowing the weak willows, the precious golden hairpin in her hair and the ring on her body did not make any sound, which looked a little weird.

The shadows of the trees in the courtyard are mottled, there are more than ten big trees that can only be hugged by several people on the lawn, there are no servants and maids on both sides of the stone path, and many people can be seen kneeling faintly in the distance, and the quiet atmosphere is full of solemn feelings, just like those trees that stand straight up to the sky, and like cold weapons displayed everywhere in the flower hall.

The owner of this mansion is Xu Shiji, the great Eastern God general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The gods will govern the mansion like the army, and the mansion has always been serious and quiet, because of the incident that happened today, all the servants were driven to the side garden, and the atmosphere here is naturally more depressing, and the spring breeze blowing outside the courtyard wall seems to be frozen.

Mrs. Xu walked through the courtyard and came to the side hall, stopped, looked at the young man in the hall, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

The young man was wearing an old Taoist robe that had been washed to white, his face was immature, his eyebrows and eyes were straight, and his eyes were bright, with an indescribable taste, as if he could see the hidden truth in many things, like a mirror.

The young man had his luggage at his feet, and the luggage looked very ordinary, but it was very organized, and he couldn't see the dust of the journey at all, and the hat tied to the luggage was wiped clean.

What made Mrs. Xu raise her eyebrows was not these, but the tea on the table no longer had a trace of heat, but the young man still looked calm, could not see the slightest boredom, and had a calm and patience that was difficult to have at this age.

This is a difficult person to deal with.

Fortunately, this kind of person is often very proud.

......

......

After entering the Divine General's Mansion, after saying a few words to the grandmother, no one paid attention to him again, and after sitting in the side hall for half an hour, he naturally felt a little bored, but Chen Changsheng was used to being cold since he was a child, and he didn't feel how difficult it was.

On the one hand, he silently memorized the content of the sixth volume of the Huating Sutra to pass the time, and on the other hand, he waited for the other party to hurry up, so that he could return the marriage letter to the other party, and after this matter was resolved, he still had a lot of his own things to do.

He did only take a sip of the tea on the case, and then stained his lips with a slight dryness, but he was not as cautious or vigilant as the grandmother guessed, but he felt that being a guest at someone else's house, in case he drank too much tea and wanted to go to the toilet, it was inevitably a little rude, and although the tea bowls used in the Shenjiang's house were all extremely valuable Ru kiln porcelain, he was still not used to drinking water with other people's utensils.

In this regard, he has a bit of a cleanliness fetish.

He stood up and saluted the gorgeously dressed lady, guessing that the other party was probably Mrs. Xu of the Divine General's Mansion, thinking that he could finally solve this matter, he put his hand into his arms and prepared to take out the marriage book.

Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand to show that she was not in a hurry, sat down on the main seat, took the tea brought by the lady in charge, looked at him and said calmly: "You haven't been to the Tianshu Mausoleum yet, have you? ”

Chen Changsheng thought to himself that this was the cold noise, he originally felt that there was no need for the cold noise, but since it was the elders who spoke, he naturally couldn't lack the courtesy, and responded briefly and respectfully: "Not yet, I'll go see it in a few days." ”

Mrs. Xu's hand holding the lid of the bowl stopped in mid-air and asked, "So, as soon as you arrived in Kyoto, you came to the General's Mansion first?"

Chen Changsheng replied honestly: "Don't dare to delay." ”

"I see. ”

Madame raised her head and glanced at him coldly, thinking that the shabby boy from the poor countryside was not attracted by the magnificent scenery of Kyoto, and came directly to the house to talk about marriage, and his mind was so eager, it was really ridiculous.

Chen Changsheng didn't understand what to mean by the four words, he stood up, put his hand into his arms again, and was about to take out the marriage certificate and return it to the other party, since he had already made up his mind, he was not ready to think about more time.

However, his actions caused a misunderstanding again, and the lady looked at him, her expression became more indifferent, and said: "I will not agree to this marriage, even if you take out the marriage certificate, it is meaningless." ”

Chen Changsheng didn't expect to hear this, and was stunned for a while.

"The old lady was rescued by your master many years ago, and then decided to get married...... This seems like a good story?"

Mrs. Xu looked at him and said with an indifferent expression: "...... But in fact, it is a good story that can only be found in dramas, and it cannot happen in the real world, except for those demented women, who will believe it?"

Chen Changsheng wanted to explain, saying that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, but listening to this condescending words, looking at the undisguised contempt and indifference between Mrs. Xu's eyebrows, he found it difficult to speak—at this time, his hand was still in his arms, and he had already touched the edge of the slightly hard paper, a piece of paper was a marriage book written by Dazai himself, and a piece of paper was written with the birth date of a certain little girl.

"The old lady died four years ago, and this family business no longer exists. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at the young man in front of her and continued: "I know that you are a smart person, so we should talk like a smart person, what you have to consider now is not to continue this family affair, but to think carefully, what kind of compensation can you get, what do you think of my proposal?"

Chen Changsheng took his hand out of his arms, did not hold the marriage book, and lowered it to his waist: "Can I ask what is the reason?"

"What's the matter? That's not a question that a smart person should ask. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at him expressionlessly and said: "Because your teacher has good medical skills, he is still just an ordinary Taoist, and I am here in the Divine General's Mansion, because you are just a poor young man who can only afford to wear old Taoist clothes, and my daughter is a young lady in the Divine General's Mansion, because you are an ordinary person, and the Divine General's Mansion should not be a place where ordinary people can enter." Is my explanation clear enough?"

Chen Changsheng's hand clenched slightly, but his voice did not tremble: "It's very clear." ”

Mrs. Xu looked at this still childish face and decided to put some more pressure on him, she knew very well what the smart and proud teenager could not bear the most, and later, he would definitely take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage.

She put the tea bowl on the case, stood up, and said: "This cup of tea on your case is the butterfly tea before the Ming Dynasty, five taels of silver can buy one tael, this tea bowl is from Ru kiln, it is more expensive than gold, the tea is cold, you don't drink it, it means that you don't have the life to drink this cup of tea, you are just a grass root in the mud, you are not porcelain, just rubble, you want to change your life by clinging to my god general's mansion? I'm sorry, this may make you happy, but it makes me very unhappy." ”

Madame's voice was very calm, not deliberately domineering, but pressed people to the ground, she did not deliberately condescend, but like an ant looking at the ground from the sky.

All these emotions were accurately conveyed to Chen Changsheng.

This is a naked humiliation, especially the sentence that changed the house into his own life by clinging to God, which is an unacceptable accusation for any proud teenager, in order to be able to hold his head high and leave proudly, many people will probably choose to argue angrily, and then take out the marriage certificate and tear it in half, throw it in front of the lady, and even spit on two more mouthfuls.

And this is exactly what Mrs. Xu wants to see - if it weren't for the fact that the marriage letter was too special, and she didn't have a good way to do it, why would she have to bother with these efforts like today?

There was silence in the side hall, and there was no sound.

She looked at Chen Changsheng coldly, waiting for the young man's anger.

However, the development of events was completely unexpected by him.

Chen Changsheng looked at Mrs. Xu and said calmly: "Actually, you misunderstood, I came to the Shenjiang Mansion this time to return the marriage book to the mansion, and I originally came to withdraw from the marriage." ”

The house was full of silence.

The wind came from the garden, and the old bamboo branches under the blowing porch crackled.

Madame was slightly surprised and asked, "Do you say it again?"

She didn't notice that her voice was a little nervous, and a little relaxed, because of the accident and unimaginable, whether the young man was unwilling to lose face, deliberately said so, or really came to get out of the marriage, it was what she wanted to see.

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said seriously: "Actually...... I'm here to get out of the marriage. ”

In the corner of the side hall, the face of the grandmother who seemed to have disappeared for a long time changed.

Mrs. Xu's expression remained unchanged, but her palm gently landed on her chest.

The entire Divine General's Mansion, at this moment, seemed to have become much lighter.

Chen Changsheng's expression suddenly became serious.

"But now," he said, "...... I changed my mind. ”

The spring breeze in the house became cold again, the atmosphere became extremely oppressive again, and in the dark corner of the side hall, the wrinkles on the grandmother's face were as deep as countless ravines, and they were suddenly washed away by the flood.

Mrs. Xu suddenly felt that she had done something wrong.

She forcibly suppressed the uneasiness that came from nowhere, made her voice as gentle as possible, and said, "Since you have already figured it out, why bother to say such things in a negative mood? It's better to ......"

However, she was stunned to find that the boy did not continue to listen to her own words at all.

Chen Changsheng picked up his luggage from the ground and carried it on his body, and walked directly out of the hall.
