Tao Daniu's house.

In front of the small wooden door, there were three carriages and several horses parked.

On the first carriage, two middle-aged men wearing scribe robes and short beards got off.

Tao Shan rushed forward and bowed deeply to the end, "Teacher, Mr. Ji, student Tao Shan, you are being polite here!"

The slightly taller man on the left stepped forward and gave a little support, "You are very pleased to be a scholar this time. But you must know that a scholar is the beginning of the scientific examination. From now on, you should guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Concentrate on preparing for the provincial examination. Waiting for the title in the gold list in the future, you will live up to the cultivation of the academy."

"Students remember the teacher's teaching!" Tao Shan replied.

The middle-aged man wanted to say more, but Master Ji on the right pulled his sleeve.

He said: "Okay, okay, today I'm here to celebrate Taoshan's examination as a scholar. You, a teacher, don't say a few words of congratulations, but teach people at the gate."

He turned to Tao Shan, "Tao Shan won the first case this time, not bad, very good, much better than my few students."

"Mr. Ji's praise!" Tao Shan said.

"Mr. Ji's apprentices are well-versed in poetry and calligraphy, and their articles are beautiful. They are really role models for my generation."

He stretched out his right hand to lead the way for the two masters, "Teacher, Mr. Ji, this way please!"

……

In the two carriages behind were Tao Shan's classmates and the friends they brought.

Guan Yibo and Tao Shan had the best friendship. He had been to Tao's house several times before, so he didn't need anyone to guide him. He just led a few people and walked inside.

"Come on, let's go to the East Chamber. Let me tell you, Mr. Ji and Mr. Chu must be in the main hall, so let's not go there to make ourselves uncomfortable, and let Tao Shan accompany us alone."

The rest of the people responded one after another, "That's right, we just need to go to the main hall to meet the two gentlemen, and then we can have fun, hahaha..."

A group of people walked forward quickly, and the three who walked slowly fell behind.

Gao Xuehai turned his body sideways, half bowed his waist, and said to the two brocade-clothed young masters in the middle: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Shen, shall we go to the main hall?"

Mr. Xu stopped, turned slightly, faced the two of them, and said, "I want to go to the East Chamber with other students, what do you think?"

He has a polite manner and a gentle voice.

Isn't this Mr. Xu the headliner of Taojia Village a month ago, Xu Songcai, the second son of the magistrate's family?

"Of course it's with Brother Xu."

Shen Maoxun, who was dressed in a royal blue brocade robe embroidered with gold silk and cloud patterns, shook the folding fan in his hand that was also covered with gold silk patterns, and said slowly.

Seeing that the two young masters were going to the east chamber, Gao Xuehai hurriedly said: "Gao is also going to the east chamber with the two young masters."

"Master Xu, Mr. Shen, please—" He took two quick steps and bowed to the side of the road to lead the way.

……

When the three of them arrived in the east chamber, Guan Yibo and the others had already chosen the table on the right and sat down one after another.

Seeing them coming in, they all stood up again and greeted each other.

Xu Songcai and Shen Maoxun also returned the salute one by one, with elegant and noble gestures and an approachable attitude, without any style of second-generation officials.

Seeing that the two sons got along well with Guan Yibo and others, Gao Xuehai wisely didn't speak ill of Guan Yibo.

He only courteously led the two young masters to sit at the table on the left.

Seeing that the two sat down, he didn't intend to invite him to sit with him, so he didn't say anything, and went to the table on the right with a wink.

Not long after sitting down, several servants entered the room and said that the carriages and horses had already been settled.

The young masters waved them back, so they don't need to wait here, and Tao Daniu's own brothers led a few servants to settle in the yard.

……

Although the banquet of the farmhouse is not very delicate, it also has a special flavor.

Shen Maoxun, who is so fastidious, also ate some, but there was one thing he didn't understand.

"Brother Xu, why did you come to Tao Village to attend Tao Shan's teacher appreciation banquet?"

Xu Songcai said softly: "Tao Shan is brother Shen's classmate, this time he passed the examination of scholar, you and I should come to congratulate him."

"But Tao Shan and I are only in Qingmen College together, we are not at the same level, and we have no personal relationship." Shen Maoxun did not agree with his friend's words.

Are different grades and different classes considered classmates?He and Tao Shan are not familiar at all, okay?

I don't know what's wrong with my brother. I heard that Tao Shan was going to hold a teacher appreciation banquet in the college yesterday, so I insisted on dragging him to congratulate him.

He dared to bet that Mr. Xu didn't even know who Tao Shan was before yesterday.

"Brother Xu, tell me the truth, why did you come here today? Is it—"

Shen Maoxun quietly looked around.

Guan Yibo and others went to the main hall to meet the two gentlemen, and there was no one else in the room except the two of them.

Then he continued: "Is there any beauty in this Tao Family Village?"

"Cough—" There seemed to be a crack in Xu Songcai's elegant face.He hurriedly corrected his expression, and said, "Brother Shen, you think too much."

"I don't know you yet!" Shen Maoxun didn't like him at all.

"What is the friendship between the two of us? I secretly stuffed you with the first erotic book you read. Haven't you forgotten the friendship back then? You are a brother's little talent~"

Shen Maoxun put his head next to Xu Songcai, he had an elegant face of a nobleman, but he put on an expression of a wretched idiot.

"Come on, tell brother secretly, during the half a year since brother returned to the capital, did you find a new little beauty by yourself?"

Xu Songcai moved uncomfortably to the side, away from Shen Maoxun.Then he said slowly, "I met one."

"Come, come, tell brother, what's it like?"

"He is a very beautiful Shuang'er. I have never seen a Shuang'er like him. He has a beautiful appearance, but he is not slender, but tall and straight, with vigorous vitality. He is also very knowledgeable. Although we There were only two short conversations, but I could feel that he must have read poetry and books, and he had a deep gap in his chest. If I marry him, I will be able to add fragrance to my red sleeves in the future, playing the piano and singing in harmony." Xu Song fell into the beauty of his own weaving. in fantasy.

"You want to marry him!? Don't you want to marry Fang Yongzhu?" Shen Maoxun was taken aback.

He clearly knew how infatuated Xu Songcai was with Fang Yongzhu.

Although he doesn't like Fang Yongzhu's pretentious style, but Xu Songcai just likes this one.In addition, the two are cousins, childhood sweethearts, and they have been engaged since childhood.

This time Fang Yongzhu had just experienced the tragic death of his family members, and came to the closed city after narrowly escaped death.It is impossible for Xu Song not to marry him.

"Hey, speaking of Yong Zhu." Xu Song sighed.

"I told you yesterday that my mother asked me to marry Yongzhu within three months, but I actually disagree."

"Yes, we can't agree, we are scholars, we must be polite.

Although everyone is not required to follow the ancient rituals and observe filial piety for three years, at least one year must be observed.

Especially this kind of big funeral when both parents and siblings have passed away. "Shen Maoxun said.

"That's what I told my mother, but mother, hey..." Xu Songcai sighed again.

His mother's attitude was tough, and he didn't dare to resist, but he was really unhappy in his heart.

He knew that he didn't agree to marry Fang Yongzhu right away, not just because of filial piety.

Or because of Tao Wenyu.

"I haven't told you these days because I'm too ashamed to speak." Xu Songcai said.

"At the end of last year, you went back to the capital for the Spring Festival. At that time, I sent another team to look for Yongzhu. At that time, I also felt that I couldn't find it. I felt uncomfortable, so I went to the canal for a boat trip. The boat went to Qingmen County Wharf Suddenly, I saw a silhouette, who looked a bit like Yongzhu. I immediately asked them to stop the boat, get off the boat and head straight to the pier."

"Wait a minute... You said this Shuang'er looks like Fang Yongzhu?" Shen Maoxun asked.

He didn't think that a twin who looked like Fang Yongzhu could be so beautiful.

"No. It's just that the profile looks a bit similar at first glance, but when you look closely, they are actually not alike. Wen Yu is very special. He is different from other twins. I like him very much. That day, I really wanted to If you marry him, I will ride a tall horse to meet him." Xu Songcai seemed to have fallen into the illusion he wove again.

"You married him?" Shen Maoxun said.

"I almost married him. At that time, Shi Mo rushed in and told me that Yong Zhu was found."

Xu Songcai's voice was a little erratic, as if he didn't want Fang Yongzhu to be found.

"I was shocked by the news. My mother was looking forward to finding Yongzhu every day, and Yongzhu and I had a long-standing marriage contract. I can't let Yongzhu down, and I can't make my mother sad. Therefore, I can't marry Wenyu gone."

"That Wen Yu is from Tao Family Village?" Shen Maoxun asked.

"Yes, his name is Tao Wenyu. His father, Tao Hongzhi, is the clerk of the wharf in Qingmen County, and his family is in Taojia Village." Xu Songcai said.

"Brother Shen, I want to see Wen Yu again, you can go with me later."

"Look at your affectionate look, since you like him, you should marry him." Shen Maoxun couldn't stand it anymore.

"No, my mother won't agree! My mother asked me to marry Yong Zhu." Xu Songcai is obviously a serious male patient of Ma Bao.

"You don't have to be a regular wife, you can be accepted as a servant." Shen Maoxun is obviously a patient with severe machismo.

"Wen Yu's grandfather was a second-class Jinshi. Although his father was only a scholar, he also served in the government. I'm afraid he would not be a concubine. Moreover, I am reluctant to let him be a child." Xu Songcai is an affectionate mother boy .

"With this background, it's really not easy to be a concubine. By the way, if you don't become a concubine, you can be a flat wife." Shen Maoxun slapped his head.

"When I went to the capital this time, I met a family. I married a twin son as the regular wife, but they didn't have any children after ten years of marriage, so they took the twin's concubine sister as the regular wife."

"That's right, Wife Ping, why didn't I think of that? Brother Shen, thank you for the reminder!" Xu Songcai said happily.

After marrying Fang Yongzhu, and then marrying Tao Wenyu as a flat wife, everyone will be happy, and mother will not object.

When Xu Songcai fell into his beautiful fantasy again, there was a conversation outside the door.

The author has something to say: Xu Songcai: hug left and right, everyone is happy, ah ha ha ha ~

Bai Ziren: When I woke up from a dream, I gave it to this friend.
