Volume II, The Savage North, Chapter 149, Testing
After the young man passed by the door, his body and face changed, and he became a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, but he still looked ordinary, and his eyebrows were thick and black, and the old man had also changed, and there was a little more gray hair on his temples, and he was obviously getting older.

The young man walked forward with the old man, and after entering the door, it seemed that he had come to a lively place, because there were a lot of people here, but the route that went straight forward did not look like anyone was blocking it, and the crowd was mostly distributed on both sides of the front yard.
And the lively atmosphere in the courtyard is indeed because most of the people are gathered in groups of three or five, there are one or two girls dressed plainly, and it is obvious that the people around them are around them, and the groups are consciously separated from each other, communicating in low voices.
There are old and young among these people, but all of them are women, the older ones, each of them is dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and the younger ones, who are surrounded in the middle, are very different in dress, not only the clothes are simple, there is no headdress on the head, there is no makeup on the face, and even more simple than the maid they carry, obviously it is deliberate.
Although they are not dressed up, these young people are obviously much taller than ordinary people, and they all have their own characteristics, either their appearance, or their figures, and even at a young age, they have outstanding temperament, if they don't look pink and tender, they will really be misunderstood.
And the appearance of the young man with the old man seemed to directly change the atmosphere of the whole courtyard, and there was a normal sound of communication, but suddenly it became quiet, and those graceful and luxurious women all looked over, as if they were looking at the young man, but those little girls did not dare to look at it, or some of them actually had some disdainful expressions after seeing it, but they were immediately stopped by those women.
However, the young man did not look at them, but walked straight inside, and when the old man saw this, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said softly: "Young master, these are all people who may marry you, don't you take a look?"
The young man replied lightly: "What does it matter, a good horse with a good saddle, just be yourself, don't care about them." ”
The old man did not give up, and continued: "But the young master is old, if he is not sure about a family matter, the old lady will be worried. ”
The young man's expression moved this time, and then he remembered something, and said: "Hey, I haven't achieved anything, I haven't established my career, why do I have to get married at this age?"
The old man heard this, and then said: "Young master, it's all okay, you just need to admit a family affair, and then you can get married, and if you are not satisfied with the young lady of which family at that time, the young master will use her as a side room." ”
The young man suddenly walked forward faster, as if he didn't want to listen to what the old man said, but the old man followed again with one arrow step, and in this courtyard, the young man could not run up, so the old man continued: "As long as the young master is willing, I believe they are all willing to marry." Then he looked left and right, and whispered: "If the door is not right, even if it is the young master's personal maid." ”
Hearing this, the young man frowned, at this time they were passing by most of the crowd next to them, I don't know if they knew the temper of the young man, or because they were in someone's house, no one dared to come up to stop them, just watched them walk forward, and at this time they all stopped communicating, and looked at the young people passing by in the crowd with their eyes.
Regarding the old man's words, the young man didn't seem to want to answer anymore, but walked forward directly without squinting, and the old man became even more anxious when he saw this: "Young master, your marriage is approved by Madame, but you have to take a good look." As he spoke, he lowered his voice again and said, "For these young ladies of the family, it doesn't matter if the young master really doesn't like it, we can take a look at something else." ”
The young man still didn't answer, only to see that at this time between the roads, there was a girl, who was also not dressed up, looking white-skinned, delicate facial features, although young, but at first glance it was a beautiful embryo, but its expression was as cold as frost, I saw that he looked at the young man, but did not speak, the young man naturally saw her, after sweeping her face, he came close to it and bowed his hand.
But when he looked up again, his gaze suddenly drifted, as if he couldn't see people clearly, and then the young man directly bypassed the woman.
The woman was stunned when she saw him giving a salute, but out of politeness, she still returned a salute, and then thought that the young man was going to say something, but she found that the young man directly spared herself, and went straight back, she said urgently: "You person..."
Before he finished speaking, the young man's loud words came: "Hibiscus has white face, but with a fleshy skeleton and beautiful red makeup, it is full of murderous blades." Hahahaha..."The young man seemed to be speaking to everyone around him, so it was extremely loud, and then his laughter resounded throughout the courtyard.
Walking through the crowd, there was a hall not far in front of him, and at this time the old man said again: "But where is Madame..."
The young man had stopped laughing as he walked through the crowd, and when he heard the old man's words, he said, "It's okay, I have my own choice, and my mother will understand when the time comes." ”
At this time, the old man suddenly thought of something, but said, "Young master, you really don't want to take a look, if you miss it, it will not be good." You must know that these young ladies are all of the age to be married, and they are allowed to go out in the future, but... But you may not be able to meet it again. At the end, the old man turned his head to look to the side again and whispered.
The young man seemed to feel a little uncomfortable with these words, but said: "If you miss it, since it is the wrong person, why should you care, and I am only this age now, if I wait for me to become famous, I don't know when, wouldn't it be better for them to find Ruyi Langjun as soon as possible, why delay others." ”
The young man paused, and suddenly stopped, but did not look back, but said: "Although I don't know why my mother would arrange such a thing, but what you said really disappointed me a little, maybe my mother intended to let you test me, but I don't want to hear these words again." Naturally, the old man had been paying attention to the young man, and he stopped suddenly, and so did he, and after hearing this, he did bend down and bow his head, but he did not say anything more.
After the young man finished speaking, he continued to walk towards the hall in front of him, where there was a plainly dressed woman, squinting and smiling at him. And what the young man didn't notice, after hearing his words, the old man who continued to bow his head and follow him showed a knowing smile, but he didn't dare to show it too much, and he looked a little suffocated.
After the young man walked by, the people around him began to communicate again, and some of them were still angry, as if they had an opinion about what the young man had said before, and then they saw him stop again, thinking that he was going to do something, so they all looked at him again, but found that he did not turn his head, and some people were even more angry at this time, but the young man did not know it at all.
At this time, the young man, who had already walked in front of the woman, walked forward quickly, and when he came to the woman, he stopped, saluted her, and said softly, "Mother." ”
The woman still looked at the young man with a smile, and said with an unchanged expression: "Wu'er has a good teacher." ”
Hearing this, the young man said again: "Parents are teachers, and teachers are parents, not to mention that my teachers are selected by my parents for me, and everything I have is naturally thanks to the second elder." ”
When the woman heard this, she smiled even more, and then put away her smile again, and took out her hand that was blocked behind the door frame, but in her hand was a string of prayer beads, and after bowing to heaven and earth, she said: "I will deal with these things of them, but for your own affairs, you still have a snack, and we will definitely not test you again in this matter." ”
The young man nodded, and after bowing to the woman again, he wanted to go inside, but the woman raised a hand and signaled her not to go, and the young man again faced the woman in a courteous posture, and the woman continued, "But you must hurry, or the emperor will give her a marriage." Ah Niang may not see you again. ”
The young man frowned slightly, but said: "No, it is impossible for the emperor not to know who I am, unless there is a war, he will not let me be separated from my mother too far." But the young man himself did not seem to believe this, but the woman did not say anything more, but held the rosary in her hand, bowed her head slightly, and stood by the door frame and began to recite it silently.
Seeing this, the young man saluted again, and walked directly to the side, and as soon as he crossed the threshold, his figure changed again.
............
The original figure has become taller again, the thin body is stronger, and the appearance is also mature, the original ordinary appearance is still the same, but the complexion is a lot darker, and there is an extra scar on the left cheek, which extends from under the left eye to the corner of the left mouth, and a simple dress has also become a military uniform.
The young man obviously became a man in the prime of life, but the old man who followed him suddenly appeared in front, originally a little rickety, even more serious, and was hurriedly running from the hall to his face, seeing that the prime man did show a big smile, came to the prime of life, the prime of life also saw the old man, saw him coming in a hurry, and the prime of life also had to give him a salute, the old man quickly dodged, and said: "The young master is back, it's good to come back." ”
The old man who came to the prime of life looked up and down at the prime of life, as if he hadn't seen it for a long time, and kept waving his hands, as if he wanted to go up and hug the prime of life, but at this time the prime of life was no longer taller than the old man, and it was much stronger, and the old man seemed to be a little uncomfortable, and some did not dare to touch him.
And the prime man did turn sideways, directly hugged the rickety old man, for a while, the old man didn't know what the reason, tears flowed out of his eyes, and then he felt that the prime of life was still holding him, stiffly replied with a hundred, and then patted the back of the prime of life, and said: "Come in, the master and the master are waiting for you inside." ”
