Hundreds of schools follow

Chapter 65
Southwest of Xianjing, a small street for the common people.

Two long rows of residential buildings stand in the north and south. Although they are far from rich and noble, they are neat and clean.

One of them, an unremarkable old two-story building, is exactly where Lao Tan's house is located.

In the main hall, Tan Liqu and his wife, who just got off work from the workshop, sat nervously.

Sitting on the left and right sides, who they have been thinking about day and night for their son... the wealthy lady.

At this time, the two young ladies did not look at each other, but also stared at each other.

how so?

It's not the son's fault!
On the left side of the hall, Miss Sun, who is wearing a red dress and gown, is the daughter of the owner of the workshop where Tan Liqu works. In Tan Liqu's eyes, she is considered talented and beautiful, and will be the future successor of the workshop.

Such a woman is naturally strong, she has no intention of being attached to a man, she just wants to bring a good-looking man home.

Prior to this, she had already fallen in love with Tanying's younger brother, and she had planned several appointments under the moon to have a private meeting, and privately decided to get engaged after Tanying turned sixteen and sent the son Yue to the palace.

But now that the selection process is over, Tanying is nowhere to be seen. She has a strong character, so she directly visits the door to force her to marry her.

The Ms. Shentu on the right, who is wearing a tight and dignified black shirt, is a descendant of the famous Legalist family. Regardless of her appearance and temperament, she is older, but she is only in her thirties.

As a judge of the law school and a member of the Daqin judicial system, although she is also a delicate person, she is serious in speech and expression, and her sternness is even worse.

Such a female judge also has no interest in those men who need her to show weakness. Apart from official duties, she prefers a good-looking man like Tan Ying who is obedient and stupid.

After she ran into Tan Ying on the street and interacted with her a few times, she also made an invitation to get engaged when the son was sixteen and entered the palace.

Now that Quan Xianjing knew that the election was over, she waited and waited until Tanying came to propose marriage, so she acted like the Legalist and came to enforce the law.

Unfortunately, the two bumped into each other just like that.

Different from the feudal society that Tanying is familiar with, since the beginning of Taoism, under the call of Emperor Guangwu, women can not only study and seek Taoism, but also be officials.

Perhaps in Qichu, which is relatively respectful of Confucianism, the concept of ethics is stronger, but in Qin, especially in the big city where talent is not the force, men and women have been equal for more than a hundred years, and there are countless powerful women, even the queen of the young. , and no one thinks there is any problem.

In terms of marriage, outside the royal family, parents do not necessarily have to preside over the marriage, it is enough to check.

Therefore, even if Ms. Sun and Judge Shentu came to the door to force her, Tan Liqu and his wife would not dare to promise Tan Ying out, just like the materialists, they resorted to dragging tactics.

After Tan Liqu took a sip of reassuring tea, he said to the owner's daughter on the left: "Miss Sun, your parents and I are aware of the matter between you and Tanying, and both agree, so don't worry..."

Before Ms. Sun could answer, she heard Judge Shentu clear her throat, "Chief Tan, I would like to remind you that according to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, parents only have the right to veto the marriage of their children, not the right to appoint."

"Should be so...should be so..." Tan Liqu naturally did not dare to provoke the judge, and only said modestly, "Judge Shentu, it is my Tan family's arrogance to combine with a great Qin elite like you, but even so, If Tan Ying decides to get engaged to you, I will naturally not deny it."

But I saw Ms. Sun frown again: "Uncle Tan, do you mean that I am not good enough?"

"Don't dare, they are all elites, they're all in different fields." Tan Liqu hurriedly wiped his sweat, "I'm a rebellious son... I actually promised myself to two people one after another... and the others disappeared... Oh... I can... How to do?"

"It's not as good as this." Miss Sun and Judge Shentu laughed, "I have known Tanying before, if he wishes to allow you to be his concubine, I will not stop him."

"Heh, I've seen too many people who are fast-talking, and they end up humiliating themselves." Judge Shentu smiled instead of anger, "If it were you, I wouldn't even allow Tan Lang to have a maid."

"You!" Ms. Sun said angrily, "I gave you a step with good words, but you are so rude. How could Tan Lang like someone like you? You must have forced him to promise to get engaged!"

"It's you, Miss Sun, who are so arrogant and domineering. If you go any further, you will be the people I usually try." Judge Shentu's smile added another point, "If your father wants to educate his daughter, he can send you to our court." Home Academy, I will definitely teach Tan Lang not to hate you so much."

"Shentu!! You are too deceitful!" Ms. Sun slapped the table angrily, pointing at the opposite side and said in a trembling voice, "You...you...can you still convict me at will?"

"You can't beat me, rest." Judge Shentu only sipped his tea lightly.

"Ah...!" Miss Sun shouted dryly.

"Incompetent barking." Judge Shentu sipped tea with a smile.

"Shentu!! I will fight with you!!!"

"It's better to go out and fight." Judge Shentu pointed to the door, "If you are a first-time offender in a private assault, if you don't become disabled, you can just make an apology. I am confident that I can handle it well."

"...Who wants... who wants to have a private fight with you." Ms. Sun chose to turn around and drink tea.

In the midst of anxiety, there was a knock on the door, followed by Tan Ying's humble voice——

"Ha! Your eldest son is back!"

But Tan Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly jumped up: "My son! Run! This place is not good!!"

"what??"

Before Tan Ying could react, she saw the door slam open, and then two women grabbed him by the neckline, one left and one right dragged him into the hall.

Judge Shentu: "Tan Lang, who is this woman?"

Miss Sun: "You must have been bullied by her and forced to obey her, right? Say it boldly, Tan Lang!"

Tan Ying's eyes suddenly grimaced.

Looking at the parents again, they are equally miserable.

Mother's eyes are full of distress.

Father hates iron that has become scum.

At this time, Tanying looked at the two ladies again, and just remembered the original owner's evil debt.

Ms. Sun is already five or six years older, and her mind is far superior to Tanying. She has fallen in love with Tanying a long time ago. Over the years, she has made every step of the way, giving gifts and treating her to dinner. engagement.

As for this Ms. Shentu, she was met on the street by chance. She expressed her love very straightforwardly, then also gave gifts and invited meals many times, and took advantage of the opportunity to propose a marriage contract.

Now it's the agreed date, let's come together...

Alas... just say that you shouldn't go home.

But since he got the body of the original owner.

This debt can only be repaid by yourself.

Seeing this, Tanying simply closed her eyes and sat upright: "To be blunt, I am a liar and I won't marry anyone, so you two can scold me."

Judge Shentu: "???? I have paid so much for you, and I have delayed my work, do you know that?"

Miss Sun: "We agreed to travel the world together, Tan Lang, how can you be so heartless?"

Tanying just sat upright like a veteran, turning a deaf ear.

The two scolded each other for a long time, and Ms. Sun even dragged him to sob, but he was also determined to bear it.

It's not that Tan Ying won't get married, it's just that her studies are the most important thing now, even if she has to marry a wife, she should marry his sister Li to study well. Besides living after marriage, she can also tutor her studies, and in the future she will definitely be able to tutor her children... …Hey Hey……

Well, if Sister Li is here to force the marriage, it's not impossible to relax a little bit... Hehe... Hehehe...

Imagining Yingli losing her composure and crying begging for marriage, Tanying actually laughed.

This smile, in the eyes of Ms. Sun and Judge Shentu, looked different.

It's the kind of old-fashioned soaring, not asking about human affairs.
