Chapter 6 Liberation
Three o'clock is the time for the Xie family to gather in the main hall for dinner. Although the Xie family does not have the habit of men and women having to eat at separate tables, they have a family rule that they do not say anything about eating, so Xie Jin has been holding back for most of the day at this time. finally waited for the next person to take away the last dish, and he said tentatively: "I found another gentleman for Ah Liang"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Jin immediately felt that he was going to be scorched by his gaze, swallowed his saliva and said, "Ah Liang really can't delay any longer at this age." Who has a 14-year-old child who hasn't read the four books?"
The old lady of the Fang family was sitting on the chaise longue at this time, and next to her was her own niece and son's aunt and wife, Hongniang. The matchmaker was pinching the legs of Mrs. Fang, but when she heard that the old man was going to toss her own son again, she glared at Xie Jin with anger, and turned her head to look at her mother-in-law with pleading eyes.
Old Madam Fang said angrily: "I think Liang'er is very good, and he can be successful in learning literature and martial arts." Since he is not the material for reading, why should he have to suffer that hardship. ”
Xie Jin said: "The whole family has finished eating, and Liang'er is still outside now. Mother, you can't be so partial to him. Liang'er is now following the sons of several military generals all day long, drinking and listening to music, and she doesn't know who she looks like. Xie Jin suddenly felt four or five eyes shoot at him in unison, and his face was slightly red.
"Since you have an idea, what do I have to say?" Old Madam Fang snorted and said.
Xie Jin said: "Mother, you don't know that your son doesn't even have anyone who can help him speak in the court. After the palace test in a blink of an eye, Fang Xiaoru's family can have a few descendants to enter Hanlin. And what about me? Who doesn't laugh at my son for not even reading a few books?"
The matchmaker said with infinite grievances: "Master, Liang'er's heart is not here, the more you force him, the more he has to run away." I think he is practicing his guns and sticks well now, and when he grows up in a few years, he will go to take a martial arts exam. When the time comes, wouldn't it be more effective to support each other with the lord in the court?"
Xie Jin said: "If you want to test the champion of martial arts, don't you want to test the art of war?
He turned his head to look at his wife Lu again, and said, "Madam, who do you guess I chose for Liang'er? This won't be angry with that old gangster, haha!"
Lu is a thin middle-aged woman, wearing an inconspicuous cyan gown, it is rare that her waist is straight, and her face is not angry and arrogant. She didn't change her cold and indifferent expression, and only said: "It's all up to the master." ”
Xie Jin asked his baby daughter Xie Ling with a little flattery, "What do you see Ling'er?"
Xie Ling is 19 years old. She was born slender and didn't like to dress up, and at this time she was flipping through a book, and asked without raising her head: "This time the gentleman doesn't know how long he can stay at home." ”
Xie Jin smiled happily: "This time this Bao Zhun is different. Mr. Fang Xiao is very good at ......fighting" Seeing the matchmaker's concerned eyes, Mr. Fang changed his words and said, "Mingling." He is about the same age as our family Liang'er, and he can best say that he will go together. ”
Xie Jin saw that no one raised any objections, and he was very satisfied with his words at home. I thought that this time I would get Fang Zhongjin home to be a Xixi, which would not only be able to anger Fang Lao'er, but also cure my own little rabbit cub. Of course, there is a deeper purpose, which is inconvenient to say in front of this group of women. He turned his head to the matchmaker and said, "Tomorrow, you have someone tie Liang'er in the study." If you can't see him, you don't have to come back!"
