Chapter 186
Tao Hechen was stunned for a moment, and Zhou Ying's slightly flushed smile just now flashed in his mind. He admitted that Miss Zhou Ying was indeed very beautiful, but he didn't have any special feelings for Zhou Ying at this time. Now he is only 16 years old, but he has always hoped to marry a congenial wife, just like...father and mother...

Although Duan was soft-tempered and kind-hearted in the past, the relationship between Tao Zhiyi and Duan was something that Tao Hechen had been obsessed with since he was a child. , also vaguely have such expectations.

"Master Zhou..." Just as Tao Hechen was about to speak, Zhou Muyuan smiled and said, "Hechen, you are Muwen's student, and you are considered a senior brother of Zichen, so don't call me Master Zhou. If you don't mind, call me Uncle."

"This..." Tao Hechen was a little embarrassed, and seeing Zhou Muwen nodding slightly, he followed Zhou Muyuan's intention and called out, "Uncle Zhou."

"Okay." Zhou Muyuan laughed and said, "How is it? What do you think about my proposal just now?"

"Uncle Zhou." Tao Hechen said: "As the saying goes, Hechen dare not make decisions on matters of marriage, what is ordered by parents, what is said by matchmakers, and what's more, Hechen has just started school and wants to focus on his studies. , the matter of marriage will not be considered for the time being."

Zhou Muyuan frowned slightly. He knew that Tao Hechen was rejecting in disguise, so he felt a little unhappy: "Why, do you think my Ying'er is not good enough for you?"

Although Zhou Muyuan has never been too hard on others, but his daughter has taken a fancy to Tao Hechen, but Tao Hechen refused in a disguised form. Zhou Muyuan just felt that he had no face. In his opinion, as long as he opened his mouth, Tao Hechen would definitely agree. Well, after all, in his eyes, his daughter is good in everything.

"That's not the case. Ms. Zhou is very nice, but the younger generation wants to focus on their studies." Tao Hechen said hastily.

"Hmph." Zhou Muyuan snorted coldly: "So you don't want to?"

"Uncle Zhou, forgive me for not following orders." Tao Hechen hurriedly stood up and saluted.

In Tao Hechen's heart, now all he wants to do is to obtain fame, to be able to stand out in the future, and to be a firm backing for his mother and younger sister. Besides, he is still young, so he really hasn't considered marriage.

Seeing Tao Hechen so determined, Zhou Muyuan frowned tightly.

Zhou Zichen on the side was sweating for Tao Hechen. His uncle was angry. He was thinking of something to say to ease the atmosphere when he heard his father say, "Brother, what are you doing?" , don’t scare Ah Chen like this.”

Zhou Muyuan thought of what he said to Zhou Muwen when he smashed the study, sighed in his heart, and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to, let me pretend that I haven't mentioned this matter today."

"Thank you Uncle Zhou." Tao Hechen saluted again.

"Okay, Chen, sit down quickly, this is not in the court but also in the school, there is no need for this." Seeing that Tao Hechen was still standing, Zhou Muwen hurriedly said.

"Yes."

Then at the dinner table, no one talked about this topic again.

Zhou Muyuan has been an official for many years, and his self-cultivation skills are very good. It was just a moment of irritability. Later, he could talk to Tao Hechen about some academic issues. He also valued Tao Hechen's talent in his heart. Being rejected, I was still a little worried.

After eating, Zhou Muyuan excused himself to have something to do and left first.

Seeing Zhou Muyuan leave, Zhou Muwen sighed slightly, and smiled at Tao Hechen, "I thought you would become my niece and son-in-law."

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I spoiled everyone's interest today." Tao Hechen felt a little embarrassed. The teacher and Mr. Zhou kindly invited him to the mansion for dinner, but he lost his interest. However, if the matter were repeated, he would He will still stick to his own ideas.

"That's out of the question." Zhou Muwen shook his head and smiled.

Zhou Zichen who was on the side asked curiously: "Ah Chen, do you have a girl in your heart?"

Zhou Zichen couldn't figure it out, his uncle was a member of the third rank, and although his third sister could not be said to be all-powerful, she was also extremely beautiful, why Tao Hechen just didn't want to.

Is it because of looks?
Zhou Zichen thought of Qianlian's face, which could be regarded as a disaster for the country and the people, and thought he had found the answer.

So, Zhou Zichen couldn't help sighing in his heart, if Tao Hechen really wanted to find a wife based on the girl Qianlian's appearance, I'm afraid it would be difficult. Lian's girl is more beautiful. Of course, when I first met her, I can ignore the pictures of that malnourished, black, yellow and thin girl.

Tao Hechen shook his head: "Brother, I'm focusing on my studies now, and I don't think about marriage for the time being."

"You are also 16 years old, and you will be married in two years. It's time to think about it now." Zhou Zichen persuaded, thought for a while, and then asked: "Ah Chen, tell me the truth, the reason why you don't Agree, is it because you are dissatisfied with the appearance of my third younger sister, or do you think my uncle's family background is too high to climb?"

Zhou Zichen thought about it again, and felt that Tao Hechen was not the kind of person who likes to climb high, maybe he refused the marriage because he didn't want people to say that he was high.

"No, not at all." Tao Hechen hurriedly said: "Miss Zhou is very good, she is a good girl. As for her family background, if I am not humble, I think that as long as I work hard, I may not be able to become an official in the court in the future."

"Well, it's good that you have this self-confidence." Hearing Tao Hechen's words, Zhou Muwen stroked his beard and said, "But you are very talented, so don't be complacent in the future."

"Yes, I would like to follow the teacher's instruction." Tao Hechen replied hastily.

"Then since these two things are not a problem, then why did you refuse?" Zhou Zichen was a little confused, no matter from which point of view, agreeing to this marriage would be beneficial and harmless to Tao Hechen.

Regarding this point, Zhou Muwen was also a little confused. Hearing what his student said, he didn't dislike his niece and daughter. On the contrary, he still liked him a little bit, but why did he refuse?

Tao Hechen knew that he must explain clearly today.

Therefore, Tao Hechen whispered: "Teacher, brother, actually, I hope that my future wife will be like-minded with me. I hope that I will marry my future wife, not for any other reason, but just because I like her. "

After all, Tao Hechen's face turned red. This was the first time he had shared his thoughts with others, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.

At this moment, Zhou Muwen and Zhou Zichen suddenly realized.

Zhou Muwen thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Indeed, you and Ying'er really don't know each other now."

Not to mention knowing each other and loving each other.
