Ugly man is hard to marry

Everyone watched the New Year, stayed up all night, took a rest at dawn, got up to wash up, had lunch, and Du Yishan had to rush back to Du's Manor to pay his uncle New Year's greetings, so he asked Fang Yunxuan if he had anything else to do today.

During the New Year, the Shijin Building will not open, Fang Yunxuan has nothing to do and has a lot of free time.Du Yishan invited him to go back to Du's Village together to celebrate the new year at his uncle's house, lest they leave and leave him and Brother Nan alone.

Fang Yunxuan felt that it was inappropriate, so he declined politely: "Your family get together, what should I do as an outsider? Let's forget it."

If he didn't say this, Du Yishan might not force him, but as soon as Fang Yunxuan said "outsider", Du Yishan felt very harsh when he heard it.At the moment Wei Chongyan was ordered to prepare a carriage, which was not negotiable, so he picked up Brother Nan, pulled Fang Yunxuan and left.

After getting into the carriage, he ordered: "Be careful!"

Wei Chongyan and the others got on their horses, and the group went straight to the outside of the city.

When you leave the city, turn right and go straight to Dujiazhuang.After getting off the carriage and taking the water route, Fang Yunxuan got on the boat and asked, "Where is this going? I didn't know there was such a place outside Guangning Mansion."

Du Yishan glanced at him, feeling a little helpless, "This is the waterway to Du's Village. You can also get there by taking the dry road from Guangning, but there are more detours, not as smooth as the waterway."

The two of them didn't have much to say, the waterway to Du's Village couldn't take a big boat, most of them were small boats that could seat three or five people.There were only Fang Yunxuan and Du Yishan on this boat, and there was a brother Nan between them.Both of them were full of worries, guessing each other's thoughts, making them restless, only Brother Nan was on Fang Yunxuan's lap, and he had a good time.

Du Yishan was sitting in the boat, looking at the sparkling light outside the cabin, he couldn't help thinking that when he came back to worship his ancestors yesterday, Du Yu'an, the patriarch of the Du clan, stopped him outside the ancestral hall, prevented him from going in to worship his ancestors, and threw away all the offerings he had prepared He came out and said that Du Yishan would be expelled from the Du clan, and he would not be allowed to set foot in Du's village again.

Everyone didn't expect him to attack suddenly at this time, and they all froze on the spot.In the end, it was Du Yishan's uncle who came out to save the siege, pointing at Du Yu'an's nose and cursing: "You old bastard, what are you doing with children when you are a Chinese New Year? You don't recognize him? Are you worthy? Yishan is the grandson of the eldest son, you Why does an old guy from the third house accuse the children of our long-term family? Go! Go! Go! Hurry up and sacrifice to the ancestors, I am still waiting for the children to kowtow to me."

Du Yu'an was not angry, and just as he was about to scold back, his uncle pointed at the offerings all over the floor and exclaimed: "Okay, you dare to throw away the things that the emperor gave you? Open your eyes and see, these offerings are still wrapped in yellow satin , with the imprint of 'Emperor's Grace Forever' on it, you dare to throw it away, I think you are tired of living crooked!"

Du Yu'an's cold sweat broke out, and he looked down, and sure enough, the offerings thrown out by him just now were all wrapped in yellow satin, with the mark of the Ministry of Rites on them, and it looked like they were bestowed by the present Long Live Emperor.

Du Yu'an's heart is like a mirror. Although he can dominate the Du family village, once he gets out of here, he is not even a fart. Not to mention the emperor, he can't afford to offend even the prefect of Guangning. Now In a moment of anger, he even threw the things rewarded by the emperor on the ground, which is a crime of disrespect, and he might be beheaded.

The more Du Yu'an thought about it, the more frightened he became, his whole body shook into a pile, and his uncle stopped threatening him, and led Du Yishan into the ancestral hall.He is the highest seniority in the long family's direct line, and he has great prestige in the Du family. He said something, and the rest of the people naturally said nothing. Everyone who celebrates the New Year wants to finish the sacrifice quickly so that they can go home for the New Year, and no one wants to mess with it. Unhappy, they followed into the ancestral hall one after another, leaving Du Yu'an outside alone.

Du Yu'an was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him anxiously and furiously. The ceremonies and music in the ancestral hall were in full swing, and the sacrifice had already begun. Du Yishan's uncle held a libation, burned the memorial ceremony, and led his nephews to kowtow to the lord's tablet After turning their heads, the elder aunts and daughter-in-laws offered various sacrificial melons, fruits and dishes, burned incense again, kowtowed and turned their heads, and everyone exited the ancestral hall.

Du Yu'an suddenly discovered that without Butcher Wang, everyone might not necessarily eat hairy pigs.Without him as the patriarch, the Du clan also sacrificed to their ancestors, everything was orderly and not chaotic at all, but his patriarch was just a decoration, is there anything different?

He couldn't help being shocked, and fell ill when he returned home. The whole family was busy making soup and serving medicine, and serving the bedside, so that the whole family couldn't get well for years.

Du Yishan's uncle, named Lin, is over [-] years old and is a loyal elder. Du Yishan has been very close to this uncle since he was young. Compared with his biological father, Du Yishan respects this uncle from the bottom of his heart and encourages him to leave the house. uncle.

When they arrived at Du Lin's mansion, everyone got off the boat, went up the steps, entered the gate of the mansion, walked through the courtyard, and turned into the flower hall. Du Lin was already waiting in the hall, and Du Yishan pulled up his clothes and bowed down to his uncle.

Tears welled up in Du Lin's eyes. The childish boy from back then has grown up. Du Yishan is handsome and heroic. His parents must be deeply comforted by his knowledge.Now the child has no elders around him, only his uncle, who is his direct relative, and he must take good care of him for his parents.

Helping him up, he pulled Du Yishan and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, it's the same way every year, and you're afraid you won't have to knock it off in the future."

Du Yishan also smiled and said: "Courtesy cannot be abandoned, my nephew has not kowtowed to uncle for many years, it should be done."

After a few gossips, Du Yishan asked Fang Yunxuan to come over to see the ceremony.

Fang Yunxuan also bowed to Du Lin according to the etiquette of juniors, and called out, "Uncle."

Du Lin looked at the person in front of him, and thought: he doesn't look good, but he behaves well and is dressed well, like a scholar.

Asking Fang Yunxuan to stand up and talking to each other, Du Lin felt a little more fond of Fang Yunxuan. He felt that Fang Yunxuan was elegant and steady, and he was not like the young people nowadays, who were flustered and flustered. When you ask a question, you also like to ignore it when you answer it, and you are full of displeasure.

I liked it even more in my heart, let Fang Yunxuan sit beside me, and ordered someone to serve tea and fruits.

Brother Nan also followed suit. After everyone sat down, they stepped forward to kowtow to Du Lin in a respectful manner.

Du Lin fell in love with such a beautiful child, so he pulled Brother Nan over and asked him his name, how old he was, and whether he had ever read a book.

Brother Nan is no longer timid now, he answers crisply, speaks clearly, and has a serious appearance, which makes Du Lin feel that he is cute and lovable, so he ordered someone to prepare a generous gift for Brother Nan as a meeting gift. He personally took out a purse and stuffed it into Brother Nan's hand, "This is the money given to you by grandpa."

Brother Nan reached out to take it, and then saluted Du Lin to thank him. He acted like a grown-up, and it really looked like that. Everyone in the room looked at him with smiles, and Brother Nan was not ambiguous, the expression on his face It hasn't changed, but it makes everyone happy.

Everyone was gossiping, and in the blink of an eye, it was night, Du Lin left Du Yishan and Fang Yunxuan to have dinner, prepared a banquet in the flower hall, and the three of them sat down, asking Wei Chongyan, Lao Liu and the others to sit down and drink two glasses together That's good.

During the meeting, Du Lin mentioned that Du Yishan is not young anymore, and it is time for him to get a wife and settle down.

"Your two cousins ​​have already had children, but you are still alone. I am anxious when I see it. One day I will not be here, and I will have no face to see your parents!"

This is also a cliché. Every time Du Lin saw Du Yishan, he would turn to the topic of asking him to marry a wife after three sentences.

"Your aunt has entrusted a matchmaker to find a few girls for you. People like us don't rely on the dowry of their daughter-in-law to get rich, so they don't have to pick whether the girl's family is rich or not. They only look for a girl who is honest and good-looking. , as long as it is worthy of you."

Du Lin smiled and said to Du Yishan: "Your parents are not here, so I will make decisions for you. The young lady of the Yongxing silk and satin dealer, your aunt went to see her, and she said that this Miss Lin is very talented and looks very good. It's good to wait for a while. After the new year, you will go to the Lin Mansion to propose a marriage, and your horoscope will be approved, and your uncle and mother will discuss the marriage and finalize the marriage."

Du Lin spoke happily, and told Du Yishan how beautiful Miss Lin was, how well educated and courteous she was, and that she couldn't pick a female red needle.

Du Yishan didn't say anything, just looked at Fang Yunxuan who was opposite.

Fang Yunxuan's heart felt like a knife was gouged out, and his hands kept trembling.He hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand, for fear that if he lost his composure, the wine glass in his hand would fall to the ground.

What he should have thought of earlier, no matter how close Du Yishan is to him, he should not dream of being with this person for the rest of his life.His status will never allow him to do such a thing, and Fang Yunxuan's self-esteem will never allow himself to be wronged and stay by his side as a male favorite.

So the result was doomed long ago, Du Yishan married a wife and had children, and he silently guarded this love for the rest of his life, just like his previous life.

A wry smile appeared on Fang Yunxuan's lips, his face suddenly turned pale, and the cold came out of his joints, which made him feel cold all over, and he wanted to tremble.He hugged his arms tightly, forcing himself not to lose his composure in public.The smile on his face became more and more bitter, he couldn't pretend anymore, he hurriedly picked up the wine glass, covered his face with the sleeve of his robe, and swallowed a mouthful of bitter wine, all of which turned into infinite sadness and poured into his eyes.His eyes were red, and when he put down the wine glass, the corners of his eyes were already wet.

Du Yishan saw it, and felt joy in his heart.If Fang Yunxuan didn't react and looked normal, but instead raised his glass to congratulate him on marrying his beautiful wife soon, then Du Yishan would have to suffer even more.

Du Yishan was overjoyed, Fang Yunxuan was always gentle and polite, and behaved well, and he had never lost his composure like this.Seeing that his expression changed and he trembled slightly, it was obvious that he did not leave the table because of his patience.I just feel that the chaotic emotions of so many days have finally made progress, and there is no need to doubt that Fang Yunxuan has feelings for him.

Du Yishan wanted to procrastinate for a while, but when he saw Fang Yunxuan's distraught appearance, he couldn't bear it, so he quickly stopped his uncle's words, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Yishan, I have other plans for my life. Although Miss Lin is good, But Shu Yishan couldn't follow his orders."

After hearing this, Du Lin felt a little unhappy, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can you object to the important matter of marriage?"

I also know that it's okay to bluff others, but it's useless to Du Yishan. He won't be obedient just because you put on the airs of an elder, and Du Yishan has a strong temper. no.

Du Lin was worried for a long while, and couldn't help softening his tone, and persuaded: "Miss Lin is a famous beauty in Guangning Mansion, and she is also a talented woman. She is excellent in both calligraphy and painting. No matter how many calligraphy and painting works, everyone is ashamed. What else are you not satisfied with? You Let’s talk about it, if you don’t marry such a beauty, what kind of person do you want to marry?”

Du Yishan looked at Fang Yunxuan, and said with a smile in his heart: "I don't want to marry that beautiful one, but if I want to marry that ugly one!"
