Otoharu

Chapter 253
The book boy hesitated for a moment before replying, "Yes, I just met at the door by chance. The two young ladies from Master Ang's family happened to be returning home, so they met at the door."

"Master, did you talk to that young lady?" He Liushi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at the moment, but he continued to ask while suppressing his anger.

The bookboy glanced at her cautiously, his voice trembling, "That's not true, but the younger lady stopped and glared at my young master, and was dragged away by the older lady... ..."

After He Liushi listened, he was speechless for a long time.

Seeing that the young mistress just remained silent, thinking that he had said something wrong and that the young mistress was going to sell him, the bookboy quickly knelt down and begged, "Young mistress, I'm telling the truth, please don't sell me out! "

"You go down first." He Liushi waved his hand irritably, drove the bookboy down, and then paced back and forth in the room.It so happened that He Zheng had already changed his clothes and came out at this moment. Seeing her mother circling outside, he asked suspiciously, "Mother, what are you doing? Where is Lang Hao?" Is Lang Hao the name of the book boy? .

"Oh, I asked Langhao to go down to rest. Mother has something to talk to you alone." When He Liushi faced his son, there was a warm smile like a spring breeze on his face.She poured tea for her son herself and asked him to sit beside her.

"Mother heard that you often go to Xin Sanbo's house recently?" Mrs. He Liu handed the tea to her son and asked with a smile.

When He Zheng was asked this question, he became a little nervous, but he still tried his best to act nonchalantly and replied, "Brother Ang has often asked me for advice recently, and I have a very similar temperament with him, so I wanted to help him more."

The smile on He Liu's face remained unchanged, and he asked with a teasing tone: "But what I heard is not so simple, Zheng'er, tell your mother the truth, do you have a crush on Sanbo Xin's family?" Miss Chun?"

He Zheng blushed immediately when his mother told him the truth. He was a young man after all, and he asked a little helplessly, "Mother, you... who did you listen to?"

"Don't worry about who mother is listening to, just tell mother whether it is true or not." He Liu asked.

Seeing that his mother didn't have any displeasure on her face, He Zheng plucked up his courage and nodded boldly.

Knowing that her son was really seduced by the vixen, He Liu was anxious, but her face was calm and breezy, like a loving mother, and said gently: "You said you like her, do you know whether she likes sweet or sour?" Do you know whether she has a good temper or not? You are growing up, young Mu Ai, it is human nature, if Sister Chun was born as a girl without salt, would you still like her? You will tell mother after you think it over carefully. "

"Mother, what you said is not important. Did you know before you married your father that he likes sweets or sours? Is his temper good or bad? I just want to see how happy she is. No matter what her temperament is, I like it." He Zheng has his own set of logic to refute his damsel.

The smile on He Liu's face was a bit stiff, but she continued patiently: "I know you like Miss Chun's beauty, but which woman will not grow old? If our family is a family of officials, who do you want to marry? It doesn't matter whether you only fancy the girl's beauty, or you only fancy the beauty, who doesn't like a beauty, I will definitely make my son happy, but now...you know what our family is like without telling me, You have to go further, Qiu Wei, Chun Wei, the family can't help you with the test of merit. Now we all rely on your grandmother to have the money to continue to give you the test of merit. For you to have a better future, even you My cousin's marriage was rejected, and your grandmother was offended because of this, but my mother didn't want to do this. If you are mediocre in reading, you can marry your cousin, my mother is really willing, but you There will be a better future..."

He Liushi was a little excited when he spoke, his tone choked up, and then he took a breath and continued, "You will have fame in the future, and fame is the beginning of your official career. If you want to be an official, you need to socialize. Neither our family nor your grandmother's family has one." Officials, these things, we are so blind that we can't help you, the only one who can help you at this time is your future Yue family, if you can form a good relationship, the Yue family will be your greatest help."

However, He Zheng was still a little unconvinced, and said stubbornly: "I still have a teacher, and my classmates and brothers, so I don't have to rely on women."

Mrs. He Liu sighed, and then continued: "The teacher is teaching you how to write essays, and you are not the only student of them, how much can they help you? The same subject, the same year, the same township and colleagues, these people are help, But as long as you are a human being, you are always competitive. Will they see that you climb higher than them?"

He Zheng was dumb for an instant, but he just pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, obviously he still didn't turn the corner.

"Zheng'er, mother wants to wait for you to win the Juren, and then help you choose a good relative, preferably a woman from an official family. If you want to be an official in the future, the person in charge of the house must not be an ignorant person. You As a wife, not only do you have to take care of the family affairs, but also your personal contacts, official management, and the communication between the female relatives are all responsibilities for you."

"Sister Yuanchun has been studying with Mrs. Zhengu, and she knows what you said, mother!" He Zheng finally found a chance to speak, and said anxiously.

"I'm not saying that Sister Chun is not good, I know she is also a capable girl." Mrs. He Liu became more earnest, looking into her son's eyes and asked, "But now, you can choose a better family, but I chose her. In the future, if she is not in her prime, and you look at people who are obviously not as good as you, because of the eminence of the Yue family and the strength of the wife, they will be above you. Will you resent the choice at this time? If so At that time, if I miss you, I will also miss her. My whole life has passed."

He Zheng studied since he was a child, and he was very gifted since he was a child, so he naturally pursued fame and fame, but it is only natural for anyone who can gain fame and fame to step into an official career.Not only his family members hope that he will become famous, but he himself also hopes that one day he will be able to seal his wife's shadow.At this moment, after hearing what his mother said, he was really upset.

Seeing his son frowning and thinking, Mrs. He Liu knew that his words had helped, and he felt more at ease, so he didn't bother his son, and just sat quietly drinking tea.

After a long time, He Zheng seemed to have made up his mind, looked at Mrs. He and Liu and said, "Mother, I believe that I can go on in my official career by myself, and Sanbo Xin's family is much stronger than ours now. I will pass the Juren examination in the future, and Sanbo Tongxin's family can be regarded as the right family."
