Sure enough, when the banquet was almost finished, Mrs. Hou finally said at the next table, "Okay, okay, the two juniors are going back to Changyang County tomorrow, you keep pouring, be careful not to feel uncomfortable." , Bai Chang, you have to get to know Yuan this time, and your aunt Wan must be very happy to go back."

Nie Baichang cupped his hands and smiled at her.

Jiao Yun put his hand on Nie Baichang's shoulder, and smiled: "Madam is right, my mother is waiting for this day, but my mother said, Nie Xiaobai is smart at first sight, and there will be more in the future." University asked, I can't do it, I'm not material for studying, but thanks to Nie Xiaobai's success, it can be regarded as fulfilling my mother's wish."

Mr. Hou didn't know that Mrs. Hou was entrusted to protect the matchmaker. He knew Wanniang and the others very well, and was curious: "Wish? What's your mother's wish?" After knowing each other for so many years, why didn't he know?

Hearing this, Jiao Yun shook the wine glass in his hand and sighed deliberately: "It's been a long time since I said this."

His tone and this pretended deep look aroused everyone's curiosity, especially after drinking for three rounds, everyone is now relishing after drinking, "Oh? Tell me?"

Jiao Yun was waiting for this sentence, he thought about it, these people might not take the initiative to say it, after all, it is a woman, and they are still reserved, so the only way to let Mrs. Hou speak up.

As long as Mrs. Hou can't open this mouth, then these peach blossoms will be blocked today, and they will all return to Changyang County tomorrow, and the next time they come back will be after they enter Beijing next year. A good ranking was bestowed on the emperor by the emperor, and he might not know where he was going. It would be best if he could stay in Beijing, but if he couldn't, he might not come to Qingzhou Prefecture.

Jiao Yun patted Nie Baichang on the shoulder: "When Nie Xiaobai's mother was still here, she was adopted by a wealthy family, so she knew how to read and write. Later, orphans and widows raised Nie Xiaobai, hoping that he would be a promising man. Yes, but later... my mother said at the grave that she must fulfill her wish, and she took Aunt Nie's wish as her own.

She has also regarded Nie Xiaobai as her own son these years.They say to establish a career first and then a family. For this goal, you see, I am lonely, just to train Nie Xiaobai into a talent, but the good days are coming soon. If Nie Xiaobai can make further progress next year, my mother will be able to fulfill her wish. Then you can tell me about your marriage, and when my elder brother gets married, then you can consider Brother Bai's marriage. "

He suddenly mentioned this, and the unintentional people heard that the focus was naturally on Nie Baichang's mother's wish, while those who cared, such as Mrs. Hou and those behind her who wanted to use Wanniang as a breakthrough to inquire about marriage, were directly blocked back.

Everyone has said that one must establish a career before starting a family, and wait until Jiao Yun's elder brother gets married before considering him.

It might not matter what the lady of the Jiao family said, but the lady of the Jiao family raised Nie Baichang single-handedly, so Nie Baichang would definitely listen to what she said, so if she mentions it again tonight, it would be just asking for trouble.

Mrs. Hou is not stupid, she has been in Changyang County for so many years, Wanniang has never asked for this, and she even found a matchmaker to propose marriage to Jiao Yun before, but the child was not happy.

But now that she understands it, she also understands the deep meaning of Jiao Yun's words. After she understands it, although she feels it's a pity, but considering that the boy from the Nie family is a promising man, if he enters Beijing in the future, the marriage may not be him. One person can be the master.

She was also in a daze, and she planned to mention it as soon as Mrs. Fang said it, but if the other party wanted to, even if she arrived in Beijing next year, she would naturally go to see Mr. Fang, and let them worry about it.

Jiao Yun blocked all the words before Mrs. Hou spoke first, and Mrs. Hou didn't mention this topic again. The rest of the female family members looked at each other, and they were naturally even more reluctant to speak.

As soon as Jiao Yun, Nie Baichang and others finished the banquet, they left the mansion first on the grounds of being drunk. When they arrived outside the mansion, they got into the carriage and went home without even giving Mrs. Fang and Fang Huling a chance.

After returning to the yard, Jiao Yun was blown by the wind and sat on the stone chair in the yard. He felt a little dizzy after drinking two more glasses, but he was in an inexplicably good mood. With his arms on the stone table behind him, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Nie Baichang: "I saved you this time, how can you thank me?"

But Nie Baichang asked back: "What kind of gift do you want?"

Jiao Yun is helpless, has he been turned into an army? "Could it be that you will give me any thank you?"

Nie Baichang nodded seriously: "Yes, anything is fine."

Looking at his serious appearance, Jiao Yun felt guilty, coughed lowly, rubbed his forehead pretending to be drunk, and raised his hand, "Well, I'm dizzy right now and I can't remember it, let's talk about it later when I think about it, but it's okay Now, since you can promise any thank you gift, if I really ask, you are not allowed not to agree.” No matter what it is, first make the request, and then mention it when you think of it, and forget it if you can’t think of it. Planning to ask for a thank you gift.

Nie Baichang couldn't hold back a chuckle, obviously guessing his plan.

Jiao Yun glared at him, but when he looked over, he was taken aback. The tall and slender young man, who was close to a young man, was standing just a step away. Looking up like this, he felt that almost his whole body was captured by the other party. In particular, he lowered his brows and eyes, probably drunk, his face was a little red, and his face became more and more beautiful, and Jiao Yun's heart stopped beating for no reason.

Nie Xiaobai has such a face, it's nothing to smile about.

He couldn't help touching his face. He always knew that he was good-looking, but compared with Nie Baichang, he was nothing.

Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang set off early the next morning to leave Qingzhou Mansion and rush back to Changyang County.

The news that Nie Baichang became Jieyuan had spread to Changyang County long ago. As soon as the two of them entered the city, almost everyone looked over and congratulated them. From the city gate to the tavern, Wanniang also came out to welcome the news, full of enthusiasm. The faces are all happy.

Wanniang always knew that Brother Bai was good at learning, but she never expected that he would be so good. He not only became the master of Juren, but also became Jieyuan.

She knew that the two of them might be exhausted after driving for a few days, so she asked them to go back to take a bath and change clothes to rest, and she would deal with the congratulatory people, and when Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang came out after taking a bath, she saw Wanniang smiling Then he brought someone over with a rich meal: "Are you starving? Hurry up and eat, rest for a while, and have a banquet for you in the evening. This time is a big deal. I will bring some sacrifices to worship your mother tomorrow." , tell her the good news."

Wanniang originally wanted to go when she knew about it, but after thinking about it, it would be better to let Nie Baichang, the son, tell her personally. The smile in her eyes has not faded. These days, she is in a good mood. She is more and more beautiful, she looks like she is in her 20s, and standing with Jiao Yun, she looks more like a brother and sister.

Jiao Yun and Nie Baichang naturally had no objection, that's what they planned when they came back.

In the next few days, Jiao Yun started to go back to the yamen to handle errands, but Nie Baichang became busy, because he became a Juren and Xie Yuan, so many people came to see him, and even county magistrates from other counties came to see him. Nie Jieyuan.

During the day, Jiao Yun went to the yamen as an errand, and at night when Nie Baichang came back, he and Wanniang had dinner, and suddenly he felt quite uncomfortable without one.

Wanniang was calm. She knew from the very beginning that Pagoda was promising, and she never held back, and she didn't even worry too much, for fear that if she spoke, she would put pressure on the child, "Why, being together all day is not enough, this But did you read it without eating together?"

The speaker didn't intend to hear the listener, Jiao Yun was startled, and looked at his mother helplessly: "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, I'm just afraid that if he drinks like this, what if he gets drunk before he enters Beijing?"

Wan Niang: "He has to get used to it. When he enters Beijing, he will meet more people. At that time, the wine table will be indispensable. It's better to practice drinking first."

Jiao Yun supported his head with one hand, "He has to learn how to drink in order to learn, can't he refuse all of them?"

Wanniang glanced at him, "What did the brat say? I can help him from now on. It's not easy for him to be alone, but it will be fine if he becomes a family in the future. From knowing him, you have to understand Yuan, which is better than being a scholar before." There are a lot of them, but I blocked them back. I didn’t dare to mention them all these years. You usually have nothing to say to him. If you are free, help me test his ideas. If he also wants to marry a wife, I will help him. Let’s make peace, if you don’t mean it, then I will reject it.”

Jiao Yun was drinking soup and almost choked. He didn't expect that he escaped Mrs. Hou and the others, but failed to escape his mother's urging to get married?

"Mom, he doesn't think so!"

"You are not Brother Bo, you know? You two are like brothers. One is not sure about kissing, and the other is learning. Really... why don't you talk about it first, what is Xu Matchmaker doing?" What's going on?" Wanniang stared quietly at this bear son, people used to come to her to inquire about Brother Yun's marriage, but recently all of them disappeared, so she asked someone to inquire, but she didn't expect this brat to be successful .

He even threatened Xu Matchmaker with her marriage with Master Tao, and Xu Matchmaker actually agreed, and directly took over the matter so that no one in the matchmaker circle would be allowed to match this brat again!

Jiao Yun had a guilty conscience and pretended to be stupid: "Wh, what a matchmaker, why don't I remember, mother, I'm full! Go back to sleep first!" He hurriedly drank the soup in one gulp, and before Wanniang could speak, he yelled run outside.

Wanniang hurriedly shouted: "Run away as soon as you say it! Come back and finish eating!"

Jiao Yun slammed on the brakes at the door, turned his head and lay on the door, showing his head, "Mother, instead of thinking about my marriage, why not think about your dowry first, in a few months old Tao Ke will come to marry you !"

Wanniang's face turned red suddenly: "You, you brat!"

Jiao Yun laughed out loud, and ran away in a hurry.

In the end, when he returned to the empty dormitory, Youyou stared at Nie Baichang's dark room, this bastard really couldn't think of leaving, he didn't want to go home anymore!

There was a sudden voice from behind, "Does the door make you angry? Do you want to tear it down?"

The warm breath on the back of his neck made Jiao Yun tremble in fright, and when he turned his head, he saw Nie Baichang coming back at some time, standing next to him, he quickly stepped back a few steps before regaining his senses, " Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Nie Baichang seemed to be in a good mood, standing there, he only knew to look at him and smile, his eyes were shining, and he could smell alcohol even after being so few steps away, it seemed that he had drunk a lot.

Jiao Yun stretched out his hand and waved, "Are you drunk?"

Nie Baichang nodded seriously: "Yes, drunk."

It's strange that Jiao Yun believed him: "If you're drunk, you won't say you're drunk. I asked someone to bring hot water over to take a bath. I smelled of alcohol."

Nie Baichang was obedient, and soon someone brought hot water over. After Jiao Yun took him there, he went to wash himself, and then went outside to have someone cook sober soup, and brought it to Nie Baichang's room. When he got there, he took a look. It was found that this guy was lying on the bed with his clothes on without wiping after taking a bath. Not only were the clothes wet, but the bed was also wet.

Jiao Yun: "..." If this guy didn't pretend to be drunk and deliberately wanted to sleep in his room, he would write his name upside down!
