Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 159
Back in the yard, Su Liang jumped up to vent his discontent.

"Dashou, have you ever heard of making a bad friend by mistake? You have seen it today. The Uncle Fan next to me is a bad friend in every way. To make him a friend is my bad luck for eight lifetimes."

Although Li Dashou sympathized with Su Liang, Fan Ning was his senior brother, and he had no choice but to smirk.

Fan Ning grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "During our walk in the afternoon, didn't you keep staring at the little lady? Am I creating opportunities for you? You actually said that I am a bad friend, which makes me so sad."

"How can you look sad?" Su Liang said bitterly.

Fan Ning was not annoyed at all, and still smiled and said: "It is the way of heaven that men should marry when they are colleges, and women should be married when they are colleges. Many beautiful marriages pass by because of the restraint of one party. I don't want you to have such It's a pity, so I will seize every opportunity for you."

"Isn't it suitable? I can change it again?" Su Liang retorted.

"You can at least compare and think more, and you won't regret it even if you give up in the future."

"But you can't talk nonsense regardless of the occasion." Su Liang's tone softened a bit.

At this moment, a maid gave Wan Fuli at the gate of the courtyard, "My lord has invited Su Guanren to tell you something!"

Su Liang was panicked and blamed Fan Ning all the time, "It's all your fault, they took it seriously, what do you say now?"

Fan Ning pulled him aside, smiled and said in a low voice: "The words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents are not that you can marry if you want to. Besides, you are only 12 years old. Bridal chamber!"

"go away!"

Su Liang glared at Fan Ning fiercely, complaining and complaining, but he was relieved a lot, so he tidied up his clothes and hat, and followed the little maid.

At this time, Li Dashou walked over slowly and said with a smile: "This time, Xiao Su was tricked by senior brother."

Fan Ning glanced at him, and said with a half-smile, "How do you know he's not willing?"

Li Dashou was startled, "Is he really willing?"

"I don't necessarily want to!"

Fan Ning smiled lightly and said: "But I know he must be tempted. When he saw Mrs. Cheng yesterday afternoon, he was stunned. I lived with him for two years, and it was the first time I saw him lose his composure.

Maybe he didn't even realize it, but when he left just now, he even tidied up his clothes. Don't you think it's funny? "

Li Dashou thought about it, and suddenly burst out laughing, it really is like this.

Fan Ning laughed again: "You think I'm making fun of Xiao Su irresponsibly. If Xiao Su doesn't move her heart, maybe my joke will be on you."

Li Dashou was startled, and stammered: "Brother, I'm going to practice calligraphy, I'll take a step first."

He turned around and ran back to the dormitory in a panic. Fan Ning shook his head and laughed. This guy has too many blind dates, and his fear has become a conditioned reflex.

He looked up at the night, the sky still had a tinge of blue, the twilight hadn't completely pulled down, the surrounding trees and houses were dark shadows, looming in the twilight.

There was already a hint of coolness in the air. A maid lit candles for his study, drew down the curtains on the windows, and lit mosquito repellent incense in the room.

Fan Ning came to the room, took a sip of hot tea, and casually took out his favorite book, "The Encyclopedia of Past Provincial Examination Measures", which was a handwritten copy and was not printed.

This is a book that Fan Ning carries with him, and he must take it with him wherever he goes. It is a reward given to him by Zhao Xiuwen before leaving.

Unknowingly, Fanning was fascinated by it.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Su Liang walked in angrily.

"Fanning, I'm leaving now. I can't stay here any longer."

Fan Ning was startled, "Xiao Su, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly, what happened?"

Su Liang sat down and said bitterly: "Yuanwai is very polite, but Mrs. Yuanwai's words are too much, she asked me to write a letter of guarantee, and asked me to write to my parents tonight, saying that I agree to this marriage, how could I agree? ?”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Since you disagree, why are you still talking about writing to your parents?"

Su Liang blushed, "I just praised Mrs. Cheng. Her mother asked me what I thought of her daughter. Of course I want to say good things about her. When I'm a guest at someone's house, I can't say bad things about others!"

"Although she said that, what her mother meant was obviously asking if you would like this marriage, but she was just asking in a subtle way."

Su Liang's eyes widened, "Is that true?"

"Of course!"

Fan Ning smiled and shook his head, "She can't ask you, Xiao Su, are you willing to marry my daughter? You can bear it so straightforwardly? So people ask you implicitly, Xiao Su, what do you think of my daughter? You say A bunch of good words, of course people think you have this idea."

Su Liang was a little anxious, "Fan Ning, I'm only 12 years old, do you think it's appropriate for me to talk about marriage now?"

"Didn't I say that? You don't even have hair..."

"To shut up!"

Su Liang said angrily, "What time is it now, are you still kidding me?"

"All right!"

Fan Ning saw that he was a little bit annoyed, so he stopped joking and lowered his head to think about it.

"I guess the other party means to get married first, but there is no evidence for it. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to come to your parents rashly, so I ask you to write a letter first."

"If I write a letter home, my father will tear me apart. Obviously, I went to Beijing to prepare for the exam, but this happened. I must not write this letter. Fan Ning, what do you think I should do now?"

After all, Su Liang was young, so he probably promised something vaguely during the conversation.

Fan Ning didn't bother to delve into it. He pondered for a moment and said, "How about this! You should write a letter to your family, explain the situation here, and then state your attitude. You put your studies first and don't want to think about marriage for now. Sending the letter is an explanation to the Cheng family and your parents, and then we will leave early tomorrow morning instead of going to Yangzhou, and go directly to Beijing."

Su Liang hesitated and said, "Didn't you always want to go to Slender West Lake?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "There's still time to play again, I'm worried that there will be more nights and dreams, and the Cheng family will mess with something, so it's better to leave as soon as possible."

In fact, Fan Ning felt a little regretful in his heart, he found that Su Liang was still a little too young, maybe if the Cheng family gave him some temptation and promise, he would really do something stupid.

If this matter affects his imperial examination, he will really become a bad friend. This matter must be reined in, and Su Liang should be taken away immediately, and it cannot be allowed to continue to ferment.

Su Liangliang nodded, "I'll write a letter tonight and send it home when I pass by the town tomorrow, and I'll leave another letter to Cheng Yuanwai to make it clear that I don't have the time and energy to think about marriage right now."

The two discussed for a while, and then notified Li Dashou to leave early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Cheng Ze heard that the three of them were going to leave, so he hurried out, "Fan Ning, Xiao Su, aren't you going to Yangzhou? I was going to accompany you on a trip, why did you change your plan?"

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Dashou is focused on practicing calligraphy and doesn't want to play. Xiaosu also finds that she is not prepared enough and has no interest in playing. Let's come to Yangzhou after the imperial examination! I won't go this time."

Cheng Ze stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Is Xiao Su anxious to leave because of my sister?"

Fan Ning pulled him aside and said with a smile: "To be honest, Xiao Su has a good impression of your sister, but that's all. He is only 12 years old, and he doesn't have any thoughts about marriage at all. Last night your mother mentioned Some of his demands frightened him, and you have to understand his difficulty."

Cheng Ze smiled bitterly and said, "I heard from my mother that Xiao Su seemed to agree that she would consider my sister in the future, so my mother wanted to get engaged first."

"Your mother probably misunderstood it. I think for the sake of both parties' face, don't mention this matter for now. In case Xiaosu's parents already have a suitable family, your parents will hurt their dignity if you rashly mention this matter. You Do you understand me?"

Cheng Ze nodded silently, of course he understood what Fan Ning meant, it would be too embarrassing for Xiao Su's parents to refuse straight away.

"Okay! I'll tell your parents what you said."

Cheng Ze sighed for a long time, "Hey, actually, I will go to Beijing with you to catch the exam. My parents won't allow me to go to Beijing. I guess I won't be able to go to Beijing until January. After you come to Beijing, write me a letter and tell me , your residence, I will look for you after I come to Beijing."

Fanning boarded the boat, the boat started, and slowly sailed towards the canal.

At this time, Cheng Yuanwai came out, sighed and said: "As expected, they were scared away, and so was your mother, so what to do in such a hurry, you don't have to force people to express their opinions in writing, Xiao Su is still a teenager after all! "

"Daddy, let's live a long life in Japan!"

Cheng Yuanwai smiled wryly, after leaving, will there be a future?
