Encounter with the Four Great Talents

Tang Shen thought there was something wrong with him. It turned out that although Tang Yin was inexperienced, he knew something.Seeing that his younger brother was so shrewd, he thought that Tang Shen had already understood it, and worried that his younger brother would learn badly, so he dragged his younger brother to teach him a good lesson.Later, he realized that it was only because Tang Shen was always by his mother's side, and her mother educated Tang Chen, that he knew something, and he didn't learn bad things, so he was relieved.

Tang Shen watched Tang Yin cover himself with the quilt carefully, and then patted his chest to lull him to sleep. He also felt tired, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.Seeing that his younger brother was asleep, Tang Yin rubbed his eyes and fell asleep.

The two of them slept until almost noon. It was really because they were tired from playing for a long time yesterday, and because of the trouble last night, they really didn't sleep well.But in fact, it is not necessary to sleep until noon, just thinking that there is nothing good to eat when getting up early, so it is better to lie on the bed and chat, and get up at noon.

In fact, they really worried too much, it was impossible for Xu Xin to get up so early every day to prepare breakfast for them.

What people prepare today is lunch.

So the Tang brothers are in tragedy.

After only taking a few mouthfuls, Tang Yin couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, and Tang Shen didn't move his chopsticks much at all.

The boy who was newly transferred to take care of the two brothers, Ah Ren, couldn't help but blush a little. He knew that these dishes were the creations of the second lady, but he didn't dare to say these words now.Tang Yin put down his chopsticks and couldn't help but said, "Shen'er, shall we go out for a walk?"

Tang Shen nodded with a smile, so the two brothers went out again!Go to fill your stomach first.

Xu Xian was there yesterday, and the two brothers were not very happy.Today, the two of them came out alone, only bringing their two servants and Ah Ren, and they had a good time, eating where they liked, and playing wherever they liked.I was embarrassed to buy something for my parents and sister yesterday, but today I bought everything at once.

It's just that I had too much fun transferring in, and when I returned to Xu's mansion, I almost broke my legs from exhaustion.

On the third day, the considerate servant finally allowed the two of them to have a relatively normal meal.Although the taste is still not as good as homemade, at least it can be eaten, which is not bad.

He left a lot of bad impressions in the Xu family, which made Tang Yinmeng want to go home.It's just that they have only been here for three days, and they probably won't be able to leave.So I consulted with Tang Shen.

Tang Shen was reading a book, and when he heard him complain, he put down the book and looked up at him, and said flatly, "It's easy for big brother to go back, but they still have something to do, so they won't let us go."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"They want you to say goodbye to Xu Xin. Before you say this, you won't agree to our departure."

"...I don't want it!" Tang Yin was almost frightened, he didn't want to marry Xu Xin.Tang Shen was a little strange: "Brother, although Cousin Xin was not likable when she was a child, she may not still have that temper when she grows up, right? And mother said that Cousin was cute when she was young, and she must be a beauty now. In this way What's wrong with a woman named Xu?" I just remembered that you married a woman surnamed Xu but was abandoned by that woman when you were down, so I don't want you to marry a woman surnamed Xu. Why are you so excited?Could it be that he was wearing it too?

Tang Shen stood up and walked around the room twice, then sat back opposite Tang Shen, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "I heard from Ah Ren that we have been in Xu's house for several times. The food, er, the few times it was unpalatable. It was all cooked by cousin Xin."

Tang Shen raised his eyebrows: "You are marrying a daughter-in-law and not hiring a cook. It's enough for her to cook, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good. With our family's conditions, it is impossible for the grandma to cook for the men every day." of."

"Uh, what I want to say is that she is a girl who hasn't left the cabinet, for a man..." Tang Yin was a little embarrassed, but he really didn't agree with her expression.A big girl, in order to please a man and marry him, did such a thing. Although it was touching, it was somehow... inappropriate. "And, didn't you say that it was Cousin Xin who was watching us from behind the screen that day?"

"Yes." Tang Shen nodded. What does it matter?

"Uh...I mean...it's..." Tang Yin was a little embarrassed, he said something about the girl behind his back, scratched his face and said something.Tang Shen smiled, picked up the book again, and when Tang Yin thought the topic was over, he suddenly heard him say: "You think Cousin Xin has no rules and doesn't look like a serious girl?"

Tang Yin blushed all over, but he acquiesced.In fact, Xu Xin is not that serious, but Tang Yin has little contact with her, and Qiu and Tang Chen are very well-behaved women, even the two aunts in the family are also very gentle and considerate people, and the concubine's younger sister is even more honest and innocent very.It was rare for Tang Yin to meet such a relaxed woman, so he inevitably had some conflicts.

Although Tang Shen felt that Tang Yin's thoughts were a bit generalized and over-thought, but it was not impossible to describe the problem.Anyway, he didn't intend to marry Miss Xu Xin into the Tang family, if Tang Yin didn't like it, he wouldn't like it, it didn't matter what the reason was.

"Since you don't like it, forget it. If the Xu family mentions it, I will help you push it away. As for going home, you are ready to go, and we will go back in two days."

Tang Yin was naturally happy, and packed his things when he went back.

Hearing that the two wanted to leave, Mrs. Xu immediately became nervous and called the two brothers to talk.

"Why are you leaving so soon?" Mrs. Xu took Tang Shen's hand with a look of reluctance, turned her head to look at Tang Yin and said, "We haven't seen each other for many years, and you're in a hurry to go back after only staying for a few days? It's not a week?"

Master Xu also said to Tang Yin: "But what happened that night? It was indeed our fault, but I promise it will never happen again, you can live in peace."

Tang Yin quickly said: "Uncle and aunt, please don't get me wrong, my brother and I live very well here." Tang Yin glanced at his brother, and continued: "Uncle and aunt have always cared about us and took good care of us. We live here It’s more comfortable than when I was at home. It’s just that I’ve planned to return home in a few days, and it’s almost Qingming, so it’s not easy to delay.”

Tomb-sweeping Day is a very important festival for the ancients to pay homage to the ancestors.Mrs. Xu couldn't persuade her much, so she had to take a look at her husband.

Mr. Xu also had a difficult time. He didn't think of this section at first, but this is a good time, and it delayed the good time to say goodbye.

On the other side, Tang Shen saw the two were in trouble, so he turned the topic around and said nonsense: "When I came here, my mother said that after all, my eldest brother has reached his age and has lived at his aunt's house for a long time. It's our fault. Although we don't live together anymore, it's not that far away. After Cousin Xin gets married, my eldest brother and I will definitely visit again. Naturally, we will have to disturb you for a while at that time. Uncle and aunt Just think we're annoying."

Master Xu's face twitched, and Mrs. Xu was also stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, and Master Xu smiled and said, "We are only happy when you come here, so we won't be bothered. But when you mentioned kissing, just like your mother said, Yin'er has also reached his age, is there any marriage proposal?"

Tang Yin blushed and did not speak.Tang Shen replied: "Not yet. Eldest brother still needs to focus on studying, and the most important thing is to prepare for the rural examination in the next year. And dad said, if we win the exam, with our current family background, maybe we can give elder brother Talk about a good marriage."

As soon as Madam Xu heard that there was a door, she immediately asked: "Why, but there is already a family?"

Tang Shen smiled and shook his head: "No, we've all decided that it will be another two years. Big brother is only sixteen now, and in two years' time he will be eighteen or nineteen, which is a good age for a kiss."

Mrs. Xu had no choice but to respond with a smile, without further mentioning.Master Xu was also thick-skinned, so he asked Tang Yin directly: "Yin'er, our two families are familiar with each other and are closely related, and both of us know everything about each other. Your cousin Xin is also about the same age as you, and is the smartest, well-behaved, and knowledgeable. I'm not boasting." , this daughter of mine is very capable, and in my opinion is very suitable for you, what do you think?"

Tang Yin was a little flustered, he didn't expect this uncle to say it so bluntly, he couldn't help but looked at Tang Shen in embarrassment.

Since Tang Shen agreed to Tang Yin not to let him marry Xu Xin, it is impossible to agree easily now because his uncle offered to marry Xu Xin.He just said: "Uncle, it is impossible for our family to talk about kissing before the eldest brother."

Master Xu knew that this was a disguised refusal. After all, how could the current daughter stay until the [-]th or [-]th and not get married?Feeling awkward, I didn't want to mention it anymore. I took a few sips of tea and didn't speak.I took the initiative to propose marriage, but this kid flatly refused, no matter who it is, it will be very awkward.

Mrs. Xu was a little anxious, she went over to hold Tang Yin's hand and said, "You guys also met that child Xin'er when you were young. Although she is not beautiful, she has some good looks. I have read books, and I like those poems and words the most. I can talk to you. I only have this one daughter, and I love her the most. You are a good person. If you marry you, it will be her blessing, so I will rest assured. gone."

Tang Shen also held the tea and smiled without speaking, Tang Yin had no choice but to whisper: "Auntie, I haven't talked about marriage these two years."

"I know, your study is a priority, so naturally you can't delay it. But we are not in a hurry to get married, and I want to keep her for two more years. Let's make an appointment, and if you win the election, we will get married again. Isn't it a happy family? "Madam Xu said that the arrangement was quite good, but her heart was still flustered, and she secretly looked at the real caller, Tang Shen.

Tang Shen lowered his head and looked at the teacup and said, "In my opinion, the best way to get married is for both parties to agree with each other."

Mrs. Xu said with a smile, "Xiner is naturally happy."

"What about big brother?"

Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at Tang Yin, Tang Yin gently withdrew her hand, imitating her younger brother while holding tea and not talking.Mrs. Xu's face became a little cold, and she said: "The matter of marriage is naturally ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker."

"Since that's the case, isn't it useless for my aunt to ask us?" Tang Shen smiled, "If my aunt really wanted to marry the two families, she would ask a matchmaker to send a letter to my parents. We juniors, talking about these things is really out of order. "

Mrs. Xu held back her breath and nodded with a smile, but she didn't say anything about stopping them from going home. She only said that she had prepared some things for them to take back. Tang Shen smiled and took them one by one. Both parties were polite. After a while, the Tang brothers returned.

Master Xu snorted and put down the teacup the whole time he was around: "You don't have to be so flattering, my daughter can't get married, so I have to marry this kid? Hmph!"

Mrs. Xu was also a little resentful, but thinking of Xu Xin's intentions, she couldn't help but said: "No, let's really find a matchmaker to come and talk to her. Xiner looks like she has deep roots in love..."

"Girls in the boudoir are supposed to stay out of the door and not step out of the second door and strictly abide by women's morals. She is still in the boudoir and she is so affectionate to a man. What good reputation can she get if it gets out?" Master Xu patted the table and scolded: "It's okay Don't worry about what she thinks, you should quickly find someone, vent your breath, and get married! Ask her what she thinks, what does she know!"

Seeing that he was really annoyed, Mrs. Xu didn't dare to say any more, so she quickly agreed.The two discussed their daughter's marriage again and fell asleep.

Tang Yin looked at Tang Shen who was packing up his things and said a little uneasy: "Shen'er, is it okay to be like this today?"

Tang Shen put the book into the rattan box, looked back at him, then lowered his head and continued to put the book: "How could it not matter, it sounds so ugly."

"Ah? What should I do then?"

"There's nothing to do. As I said, getting married is a good relationship between the two families. It's a beautiful thing to fall in love with each other. Since you don't want to, there's no need to take the happiness of the rest of your life for the friendship of the two families. Put Give me that bag." Tang Yin stretched out his hand and handed it to him, listening to him continue. "Our family married for you because we hope that you will like that woman, that she can bear children for you, and manage your home for you. Even if you don't like her, I hope she can do her duty and do her own thing well, so that no one will I hate it. In my opinion, Cousin Xin can't do it, so even if I fall out with the Xu family, I won't let you marry."

After closing the box, Tang Shen put the things in the corner and put them together with other boxes, clapped his hands and said, "Cousin Xin is arrogant, self-willed and arrogant, even if she likes you, there is no guarantee that she will make a fuss if she doesn't like any of us in the future." The house is restless. If you are the only son in the family, she will be the mistress, and everything will go smoothly. But now that the Tang family is under my care, I think she will not be happy to see this situation if she marries in. "

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, held his chin and thought for a long time, then nodded: "You're right!" Reassured, he said with a smile: "It's better for you to take care of our family."

Tang Shen snorted, took off his shoes, climbed onto the bed and embraced the quilt: "If possible, I also hope to have a sister-in-law who is more capable than me to take care of it for me, and then I will learn from you to get a good grade and live leisurely at home."

Tang Yin laughed loudly, and took off his shoes to go to bed. Tang Shen kicked him, "Why are you sleeping here again?"

"Let's talk, what do you dislike? I hugged you to sleep when you were young."

"Which year was that? Oh! You're holding my hand!"
