Chapter 114: Promise

After eating, Zhang Yutang, Xu Jiaorong, Li Yong, and A Bao, the four of them left Zhang's Mansion and came straight towards the security hall.

I haven't seen it for five years, Qiantang City has undergone tremendous changes, many schools are lined up, dotted in the big city like stars, and countless babbling children have begun to read the children's teachings.

The wind of indoctrination is prevalent.

Zhang Yutang has also grown from a child to a young man, with graceful and generous manners, he has not seen him for many years, and the people nearby have not recognized him for a while, and the young man who walked by was the holy master many years ago.

"Isn't that a holy master?"

"Is it Zhang Gongzi?"

Many people looked at the disappearing back, only to come back to their senses, for a while, Qiantang was frequently rumored:

"After five years, the Holy Master is back!"

"This time, the number one talent in the world is none other than the Holy Master. ”

"Who said that he was the best talent in the world, maybe he couldn't say. Someone secretly snorted: "How much ability and experience can a young man have, how can he compare to the great Confucian." ”

Zhang Yutang didn't know anything about these words, walking on the road, he saw many scholars, wandering back and forth, or calling friends to accompany him, or reading while walking, or taking scholars to play around, as the group of heroes approached, there were more and more scholars in Qiantang day by day, "Childe, where are we going?" Xu Jiaorong asked: "Do you want to see Mr. Ouyang?"

Zhang Yutang smiled slightly: "Do you say it's better to see Mr. Ouyang first, or go to the security hall first and meet Dr. Xu?"

Xu Jiaorong was embarrassed and said:

"Childe said that where you go, you can go anywhere. ”

"Haha-"

Zhang Yutang smiled:

"You're going to do tai chi and push the problem back to me.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go to the security hall, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know if Dr. Xu Huan welcomes me to go?"

A few people walked all the way and soon arrived in the security hall.

"Brother Zhang, I don't know when you came back. ”

Xu Xian, who was originally treating people in the security hall, looked up and stood up with a look of surprise after seeing Zhang Yutang and others:

"I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're getting more and more stylish. ”

Zhang Yutang stepped forward and gave Xu Xian a bear hug:

"Aren't you also as beautiful as jade, and you are very angry, why are you sitting here, Mrs. Xu, take me to see, I haven't seen you for many years, I miss it very much." ”

"Good. ”

Xu Xian said to another person in the security hall:

"Uncle Qian, you help take care of it first, and I'll take Yutang and them to see my father. ”

"Okay, little master, just go, I'll take care of it here, nothing will happen. Uncle Qian smiled innocently and continued to treat the patients who came.

"Who is Uncle Qian, why haven't I seen it before, is it a newly recruited doctor from Baoan Tang?"

"All these years, how did you come here, has the state tried it?"

"Uncle Qian is a friend of mine that my father found, and he is very proficient in medical skills and extremely noble in character, so he was invited by his father to be a sitting physician. Xu Xian's face was a little ashamed: "Over the years, although I have participated in the state examination twice, I have only been ranked outside Sun Shan every time, which has disgraced the Xu family." ”

"Every big exam, it's like a hundred boats competing for the stream, rushing to break through the single-plank bridge, failure is nothing, there are many people, after taking the test for a lifetime, they may not be able to be admitted to a show. Zhang Yutang patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and comforted: "I heard that after this group of heroes, the state exam will be arranged soon, let's prepare and prepare well to see if we can pass the state exam. ”

"There are many people who have been admitted to the exam all their lives, and they have not been admitted to Xiucai, what you say, is it a consolation?"

"Besides, it's not easy to get a good ranking in the group meeting and make a splash. Xu Xian obviously didn't have much confidence: "This group of heroes is organized by the emperor today, all the talents in the world are coming, and they want to compete for the title of the first talent in the world. ”

During the chat, several people had already arrived in the inner room, and saw that Dr. Xu was reading alone, but his forehead was gray and gray, and he was not much old, and Zhang Yutang, who saw it, was shocked:

"Doctor Xu, I haven't seen you for five years, why are you so old, could it be that the Eight Treasure Pearl Soup I fetched for you with the Purple Yun Dragon Ginseng mustache didn't work?"

"Virtuous nephew, why are you here, I haven't seen you for more than five years, and you have grown into a young man. When Dr. Xu heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw Zhang Yutang walking slowly, with a surprise on his face: "Come and sit down quickly, tell me, how are you doing after living in seclusion in West Lake for so many years?"

"Thank you Uncle Xu for your concern. Zhang Yutang was a little moved: "I have been practicing in seclusion in West Lake for the past few years, and I haven't come to salute Uncle Xu for so long, and I ask Uncle Xu not to blame Yutang." ”

"How can I blame you, young people know that it is a good thing to study and be motivated, and Uncle Xu is too late to be happy, how can he blame him. Doctor Xu said enthusiastically, and when he saw Xu Xian who was not moving, he scolded: "Stinky cub, I didn't see your cousin Yu coming, why don't you hurry up and pour tea." ”

"Daddy, if you have a jade cousin, you forget that I am your biological son. Xu Xian pouted: "If you do this, my son will be jealous." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the side, took the teapot, Xu Jiaorong also walked over, helped with the teacup, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, I heard that Sister Yulian has often come to see you in the past few years, have you decided on the marriage?"

"Not yet. Xu Xian was a little gloomy: "Doctor Wu is a little unhappy that I have a relationship with Yulian, I originally planned to go to Dr. Wu's house to propose marriage today, who knew that you were coming, and I was looking for a zodiac auspicious person, and then I went to find a matchmaker to propose to Dr. Wu." ”

"You and Sister Yulian are childhood sweethearts, you grew up together, you look like a talent, and you have a reputation for showing talent, Sister Yulian also likes you, why is Dr. Wu not happy. Xu Jiaorong was a little unhappy: "Besides, the Three Emperor Patriarch Association has not been touched by the light of our benevolent medical hall over the years, and now doing so is really an ungrateful white-eyed wolf." ”

"Dr. Wu is used to drilling camps, and seeing that I have failed in several examinations, he is a little contemptuous. Xu Xian smiled bitterly: "What's more, maybe he has a better son-in-law in his heart, and a little talent like me will naturally not be taken seriously by him." ”

"It's just that he is Yulian's father after all, sister, you still don't scold him. ”

"I don't care who he is, bullying my brother, I'm not done with him. Xu Jiaorong said: "You go and ask someone to propose marriage first, and see what Wu Renjie has to say." ”

Hearing that Wu Renjie was not happy with his younger brother's marriage, Xu Jiaorong simply stopped calling Dr. Wu and called him by his name.

Xu Xian nodded: "I'll talk about it later." ”

After mentioning the teapot and setting the teacup, Xu Xian, Xu Dafu, and Zhang Yutang sat down and chatted while drinking tea.

Doctor Xu looked at Zhang Yutang in front of him, the jade tree was in the wind, chic and uninhibited, and he knew how to respect the old and love the young, and the etiquette was thorough, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, but when he saw Xu Jiaorong standing aside, he sighed secretly in his heart:

"I'm a good daughter, but I met a reckless man, obviously a talented and intelligent prodigy, how can he be so slow to open up his mind to a word of love. ”

"This may be a long and a short, but I have to hint at him, but I can't live up to the good youth of the lady. ”

So if you inadvertently mention:

"Virtuous nephew, Jiaorong has been with you for so many years, girls as old as her have already got married, and some of the children are several years old. ”

"Daddy......"

When Xu Jiaorong heard this, her face turned red, she walked over, clenched her fists, and gently hammered it on Dr. Xu's shoulder, but her eyebrows were lightly raised, and she looked at Zhang Yutang to see what he said.

"Uh-huh. ”

Zhang Yutang felt that this problem was like a thousand catties of heavy burden, pressed on his heart, and when he was mentioned by Dr. Xu, he was drenched in cold sweat, and his face was also flushed, and he said in his mouth:

"Miss Xu is a good girl, naturally beautiful, dignified and polite, she is a rare good girl. ”

At this moment, Zhang Yutang felt that he was a little selfish, and on the premise of not being sure of his emotional belonging, he had made Xu Jiaorong wait for many years.

This time, Zhang Yutang secretly decided from the bottom of his heart that after this group of heroes, he would take a good look at his feelings, and if he really liked it, he would marry Xu Jiaorong home.

If you really don't like it, you can only go with the flow.

Looking at Zhang Yutang, who was bowing his head and muttering, a trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Jiaorong's eyes:

"A man, in the face of emotional things, is he so shy? However, only such a man can be regarded as the man I Xu Jiaorong likes, if it is an ordinary man, he can't walk when he sees a woman, I Xu Jiaorong would rather die alone than disdain to marry. ”

Seeing Zhang Yutang's embarrassment, he didn't know how to deal with it, Dr. Xu was old and sophisticated, laughed, changed the topic, Zhang Yutang also beat snakes and followed the stick, and said:

"Uncle Xu, what's the matter with your body, your hair is so white, haven't you taken the longevity pill brewed with Ziyun Dragon Ginseng?"

"Good boy. ”

Dr. Xu smiled like a spring breeze:

"I also took a lot of the pills you configured, but it didn't work, my body was wrong, my body has been hollowed out, originally five years ago, it was time to let go, it was you who found the purple dragon ginseng whisker and prepared the Eight Treasure Pearl Soup, so that I hung my life until now. ”

"It's just that in recent years, I feel that my body is aging, but I am afraid that it will not take too long, and I will be old. ”

"Before I get old, I hope that Xu Xian and Jiaorong will be able to start a family as soon as possible, so that even if I die, I can give them a good talk about the children underground, so that their mothers can rest assured. ”

"Uncle Xu, don't worry. ”

Zhang Yutang comforted:

"Xu Xian is a talent, familiar with poetry and books, proficient in pharmacology, and can marry any kind of woman he wants. ”

Gritting his teeth, he said:

"I am also full of affection for Jiao Rong, she will definitely have a good home. ”

As for whether it belongs to himself, this Zhang Yutang doesn't dare to say nonsense.

The promises made and the debts owed must be repaid after all.
