Chapter 969: Talented and Beautiful
Cao Nai held a basket of roses and followed Xiao'er step by step, preparing to take the opportunity to blend into the inner house, so as to see the person who was haunted by his dreams.
Who knew that Xiao'er didn't give him a chance, and suddenly flashed into the corner door and closed the door tightly.
Disappointed, Cao Nai looked at the door and said hatefully: "It turns out that Sister Miao is so hateful. ”
Glancing at the flower basket in his hand, Cao Nai said happily again: "It doesn't matter, this is Mrs. who asked me to send the flowers back, who dares to say that mine is not?" You might as well be bold and go straight through the hanging flower door. ”
So he rushed to the middle gate, only to see that Xiao'er was already standing behind the door first, and wanted to lock the door.
Cao Nai hurriedly shouted: "What a ruthless sister, these days, I haven't seen even a shadow, so I got sick, and you still haven't come out to treat me?" ”
Xiao'er smiled and said, "It's weird! I didn't curse you, and I'm not Langzhong, how could I make you sick? How can you be cured of your sickness? ”
Cao Nai saw that there seemed to be no one around, and Xiao'er couldn't help but be overjoyed with a rare smile, but his heart was all on the young lady, and he had no intention of entangled with her, so he said: "Madame ordered me to send flowers, I want to see the girl, these two flowers are the best, let's put them on for you first." ”
"Who wants your flowers?" Xiao'er pursed her lips, a little unhappy, took the flower basket and turned to leave, and Cao Nai followed in. ”
Because of the head of the head to lead the way, the housekeeper's daughter-in-law did not ask, but ordered the two mothers-in-law to follow behind.
Xiao'er walked directly into the boudoir and said to Xu Xiangyue, who was reading: "Grandma sent Xu Xin to send flowers, and people are outside." ”
Xu Xiangyue got up and said, "It just so happens that I want to recognize him." "Get out of the room right now.
Cao Nai's spirit outside was greatly lifted, and he carefully looked at the past, compared with the distant view of the day, it was in response to a poem, "The moth is faint, and it is not described; The eyebrows and face are full of faces, wanting to provoke the dream of King Xiang. Linfeng willow. It should be taught not to count the waist; Blooming cherries, why bother to open the mouth? Autumn water is the god, and the hibiscus is the bone; It is shallower than peach blossoms and more gaudy than pear blossoms. ”
Cao Nai's heart admired, compared to the beautiful Xun'er, there is no doubt that Miss Xu's appearance is better, and what is especially difficult is the generous and untwisted temperament of everyone.
Xu Xiangyue opened her mouth first and asked, "Where are you from?" Why Yunnan. ”
Cao Nai said seriously: "In Xiabeipingfu, because of the death of his father, he has the heart to find a good wife. That's why I'm here. ”
Xu Xiangyue was a little amused and said, "That means your mother is fine?" As a son of man, he is not raised at home, and he travels thousands of miles to find a good wife? Sold yourself to my house again? Is there no good woman in the north, so you have to come to the south? ”
Cao Nai said: "There is no one in a good wife in ten thousand, and those who are talented may not be good-looking, and those who are good-looking may not be talented. For example, how many people like Miss can there be in the world? ”
Xu Xiangyue sneered: "You are so delusional, the beauty in your mouth chooses a son-in-law, the first thing is to be outstanding." The second is the lintel eunuchs, and the third is the romantic characters, and you don't support your mother, and you don't sell yourself as a slave. Even if there is a beautiful woman, how can you be worthy of you? ”
Cao Nai knew that this pass could not be hidden, so he straightened his waist and said loudly: "Miss doesn't know anything." In terms of talent and learning, Cao's self-confidence is not inferior to others; On the lintel, the Cao family is also a scholarly person; On the characters. Cao is not ugly; On filial piety, Cao has a good reputation; It's nothing more than passing through here and meeting a beautiful woman, so I took the liberty to enter the house. ”
Xiao'er opened her mouth wide and exclaimed: "It turns out that you have other plans, you are so bold, come here!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Xu Xiangyue shook her hand unconcernedly, "Since you said that you are talented and want to be matched with a beautiful woman, then let me ask you, the woman who has never pressed the kite, and the wife who has never moved the sangjian." Lackluster and ugly, still old and dead green windows; If you are blind, will you never marry? ”
This is a question between scholars, in this era, ninety-nine percent can't answer at all, if Mu Ningxue also asked Xu Hu like this, eighty percent of them want to deceive the beauty.
Cao Nai replied unhurriedly: "Mo plays the kite, and Luo Fu has his own husband; But under the golden mulberry, Qiu Hu does not recognize his wife; The lack of appearance of the woman is the opinion of Xu Yun, if she is married, she will not regret it; Zhuge ugly woman, is it Huang Chengyan who prepared makeup and sent it to the door, can you accept it? There are thousands of people in the harem of King Min, and there are people who live in tumors and steal names; Liu Ting's wife was hired by his father before he was blind, how dare he betray his life? Today, Cao has not been hired, so he has to choose. ”
Xiao'er said disdainfully: "Banmen get an axe." ”
Xu Xiangyue was surprised by the speed of the other party's reaction, and several allusions were answered, and it was necessary to be a scholar who had been reading for many years, so it could be seen that he was indeed a person who had read poetry and books, and he couldn't help but have the heart to try the other party's talent again, so he said: "Xian'er, give him my fan, and make a poem about the characters in the painting." ”
"Yes." Cao Nai took the fan with great confidence, unfolded it and saw that there was a beautiful woman standing in the room, reaching out to pick flowers outside the window, and said without thinking: "The moon eyebrows and clouds are light and silky, as if you are halfway through the window; If a Danqing is stingy, the most romantic place is not described. ”
When Xu Xiangyue heard the last sentence, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and chuckled.
Seeing this, Cao Nai asked, "Could it be that it doesn't make sense?" ”
"Definitely." Xu Xiangyue shook her head slowly, "It's too embarrassing." ”
Cao Nai smiled: "I haven't finished the meaning of the painting yet." Then he chanted: "The incense and green grass are delayed, why do you need to brush your eyebrows after makeup?" The golden hairpin is not flattering, and the pretty flower branches are picked up through the window. ”
Xu Xiangyue said happily: "Sure enough, I ask my son to forgive me for my previous disrespect, these two poems are impressive." ”
Seeing that the other party was full of praise, Cao Nai naturally wanted to go all out and impress Fang with a poem, so he boldly said: "The beauty is lonely and pitiful, and she is incomplete for Danqing; Then draw Anon standing outside the window, and tie the dream with him. ”
Who knew that although Xu Xiangyue's pretty face was flushed, she smiled and shook her head: "Wen Si is very good, but he is young and thin, you can go." ”
Cao Nai saw that he was presumptuous, and hurriedly said: "The young man breaks his teeth and does not reduce his romance; Sima Qin picked, and finally became a good story. A romance is all in this poem, how can Miss say that it is light? ”
Xu Xiangyue looked at him, and it was not easy to blame anything, after all, most of the scholars boasted of their self-proclaimed virtue, so they said: "Okay, I said the wrong thing." Please take the fan back and inscribe the first two poems on it. ”
Cao Nai said: "I'll write here. ”
"Nope." Xu Xiangyue turned around, "Go to the study to write, and after I finish writing, I will call Cai Lu to pick it up." ”
Cai Nai had to walk out with a fan, thinking as she walked, the girl was really a bosom friend, but her demeanor was dignified, and a provocative poem made her blush. Accuse me of being frivolous. If you want to learn from the West Chamber to talk in the next month, Huayin will go to the appointment, but I'm afraid it's impossible.
Then I thought, this is the first time I met, a lady has to be like this, as the saying goes, once a raw and twice ripe, I have to finish writing quickly, while the lady did not come back, send the fan in, once again show my talent. See what will happen to her?
Here, Xu Xiangyue said to Yu'er: "If it was before, I would congratulate you on your good creation, this person is elegant and talented, marrying such a person, you will be used in your life, my mother is really good eyesight." But he is clearly a lover, seeing a love for the other, as long as you don't care about him being merciful everywhere. ”
Speaking of which. Xu Xiangyue smiled bitterly and said: "That's it, I said the wrong thing again, even the three uncles have a group of wives and concubines." ”
Before Xiao'er could speak, Cao Nai had already sent a fan like a gust of wind. Xu Xiangyue said in surprise: "So fast? ”
Cai Lu ran out to bring the fan, she took it with her own hands and unfolded it to see that it was a poem written in block letters, and a line of calligraphy. A cursive script, a official script, Xu Xiangyue praised: "The dragon and snake are flying." Such talent is far from being comparable to ours. ”
After reading the poem, she got up and walked out, and said to Cao Nai, who was waiting for her: "This third poem should not be written on it." ”
Cao Nai said: "Miss, this is called too embarrassing, anyone who is talented must have affection, but unfortunately the beauty in the painting is not real, otherwise I have to be a couple with her, how can I miss it in person?" ”
Xu Xiangyue naturally heard the voice, only to see that this young and handsome talent is full of passion, every word is affectionate, although she has been exposed to Xu Hao's ears and eyes all the year round, and looks at the world more than the general public, but in the final analysis, she is just a young girl who has not been out of the cabinet, the age when she is most eager for love, when facing the active pursuit of a talented and beautiful young man, how can she not have ripples in her heart?
Anyway, Cao Nai has already left a deep impression on her, and the opposites attract between men and women, and there is only a little chance left.
Xu Hao never imagined that inexplicably, God seemed to want to give him a champion niece and son-in-law!
Let's talk about Yuan Kong, his daughter's breast name is Sister Ai, that is, love is like a treasure, she has red lips and white teeth, beautiful and cute, and she has also been sharp since she was a child.
Because Yuan Kong's son is young, just turned three years old, so he has been planning to recruit a son-in-law to stay at home to prevent old age, but the status of the helper is embarrassing, the good people don't look down on the Yuan family, the poor people Yuan Kong can't look down on it, and it's difficult to find sensible, clever and filial orphans, so the sister has not yet married.
In a traditional family like the Yuan family, the seventeen-year-old sister is undoubtedly a little older, and the girls in the neighbors of the same age are all married.
Now it's okay, Yuan Kong ran to Hao's house, and said with a smile: "I'll just say that Hu Zhifu is a two-faced and glamorous master, who sells favors and leaves, thanks to my foresight, otherwise a good relationship will be missed in person." ”
Hao Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "The Xu family agreed?" Oh, you say it quickly, you are a person who is used to making things difficult for people, and you don't want to say anything quickly, knowing that I want to see through it. ”
Yuan Kong said with a smile: "Why is the son so anxious, the marriage is a big deal, you have to let me say it slowly." The day before yesterday, I went to Xu's Mansion and first used silver on the door before I asked the steward to go in and report. Lord Xu is really a hero in the world, and when he saw that I was here for my son, he didn't slack off.
I met with him, first told the son that he had changed his mind, and then said how the son proposed, how sincere, how to admire. Seeing that my words were reasonable, Lord Xu suddenly smiled and said, "Very good, your son-in-law can change his past mistakes, and I can marry my niece to him that day." ’
I saw that Lord Xu happily agreed, thanked me again and again, and gave me Geng post before leaving. After speaking, Yuan Kong pulled out the Geng post from his sleeve.
Hao Yan was overjoyed and said, "I just said, how can Uncle Xu not miss the friendship between the two families?" It's also thanks to you that you can talk and do things, which is really my great hero. ”
A few helpers immediately helped to praise each other, saying that Gongzi is a talent, Yuan Kong has merit, and Yuan Kong said: "Geng Ti has it, Gongzi also has to divination, so as to decide whether to marry or not." ”
Hao Yan said: "There is no need for divination, I like Miss Xu, just choose an auspicious day to send a dowry gift, and marry home directly." ”
He immediately asked someone to bring the yellow calendar, and set a date for the second day of the first month of June, and the marriage on June 22.
If it weren't for the collusion between the helpers and Yuan Kong, someone would have to remind him, with the Xu family's background, how could you make your own decisions casually? On what day you marry a daughter-in-law, what day do you marry a daughter-in-law? How can there be such a rudeness, at least send someone to discuss it first, right? (To be continued......)
