Chapter 17: Blind Date

Although Xu Ji's poems are not masterpieces, they seem to be better than Xu Wenlai, and the time limit for a stick of incense is quite extraordinary. In this way, the sisters nodded their heads and praised, looking forward to the third young master's literary brilliance.

Xu Hao pretended to be in a state of hard thought, poetry can't be made, lyrical prose essays can come to so one or two paragraphs, not to mention what kind of life is only as first seen, bending the bow and shooting the eagle, Sanmao everyone's "turn around and leave in a second, and forget it for a lifetime." and other classic quotations, which are guaranteed to make everyone scorched.

Hongye kept hinting at his brother Xu Hao, but unfortunately Xu Hao deliberately turned a blind eye, and waited until a stick of incense burned out, and he was ashamed to say that he couldn't do it.

Xiao Shi and Xu Qinglian were immediately very disappointed, and they both sighed helplessly, and Liu Shi and others secretly snickered, and Wang's spirit became more and more vibrant.

However, the old lady asked suspiciously: "Brother Hao also made a poem in the morning, and the old man thought it was good at the time, or he could replace the poem with words." ”

"No, the time has come, I admit defeat." Xu Hao shook his head frankly and refused.

"Then I won't force you." The old lady didn't pay attention to him, and glanced at the cabin next door meaningfully, "Tonight, you two brothers will copy the poem yourself, and then write an article in the spring, and hand it to me early tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Wen secretly complained bitterly when he heard this, looked at his sister Cui Tao with a flattering gaze, and then got up and respectfully with Xu Ji, Xu Hao felt a little sorry for his mother and sisters, and walked over apologetically, bowing his head and admitting his mistake.

Xiao Shi was very sorry in his heart, and his face was also very gloomy, and he hated that iron could not become steel: "In the future, good students will study hard for me, and you will be grounded for three months." ”

"Yes." Xu Hao had already been mentally prepared and did not feel surprised.

The official boat next door slowly rowed, heading towards the direction of the capital in the distance, and the old lady stood at the bow of the boat and stopped to look into the distance, his expression was very complicated, and there was also a trace of worry in his joy.

At night, Xu Hao sat in the study and buried his head in "hard work", Xu Qinglian and Xu Hongye walked in outside, and Hongye said angrily: "I have hinted to you many times, why are you like a wood?" Xu Wen didn't rely on Cui Tao to help cheat, and he was angry with me. ”

The angry red leaves sat on the chair and glared at Xu Hao menacingly, Xu Hao raised his head and glared at her.

"You said that the poem you gave me could be made by a man? What heavenly star bridge letter can be communicated, and now the guild will be Ruizhu Palace. The fragrance of parrots is deeply hidden, revealing the Xiaoxiang embellishment. If I say it in public, won't the whole family laugh to death? Say I'm a man with spring. Hey, I see. ”

Momiji stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, grinned, and complained: "Now everyone is talking about the stupidest of your brothers, but you can already read the whole poem word for word just by looking at me once, why can't you do it yourself?" ”

Xu Qinglian said embarrassedly: "When I was nervous, I wrote poems according to the habits of the past, but it was mine." ”

"My brain is really good." Xu Hao was complacent, he admitted that this body had more memory than before, probably because the brain itself stored too little stuff, so the data transmission was fast.

Xu Hao smiled: "I'm not stubborn, it's really that today's situation is too weird, the old lady asked our three brothers to compose poems for outsiders for no reason, and it is based on the theme of spring characters, I think there is a risk here, so I simply admit defeat and save trouble." ”

Momiji shouted: "Mother said that maybe the gentleman of the country was sitting on the boat, so the opportunity was wasted, really." ”

Xu Hao said disdainfully: "Even if it is, what? It's not difficult to get into the country, it's a big deal. ”

"Definitely." Xu Qinglian shook her head and said: "What my mother cares about is your reputation, you must know that even if you enter the Guozijian, you have to participate in the imperial examination with thousands of students, how many people have wasted their lives for this?" If you can impress a few gentlemen with poetry today, such a reputation will make it smooth sailing in the future, and it will not be difficult for the country to recommend you as an official in the future. ”

"And what's going on?" Xu Hao was very surprised, and then said with a smile: "Sister, you really lifted me, how can I have the ability to impress others, it is better to let me buy a piece of tofu and die head-on." ”

"Well, it's a pity if you get it at the moment." Xu Qinglian felt quite regretful.

"Stop." Xu Hao got up and put his hands behind his back leisurely, and said as he walked: "Poetry has to be learned with real talent, I know best what I do, even if it is as you said, it is a good hand to get it, or secretly cheat and get a reputation, and when you go to the talented country, you still have to be embarrassed, this is not the right way." ”

Momiji shouted: "Brother, you can't be some confident, obviously you are so smart." ”

"People are valuable in self-knowledge, my IQ is only more than 100, and there are many cattle in 25." Xu Hao said angrily, tilted his head and thought for a while, and snickered: "Besides, where is Mr. in that boat, there are one or two of them." ”

"Miss? Whose daughter are you talking about in the boat? Xu Qinglian thought about it, was a little abrupt, and muttered to herself, "No wonder you can't see outsiders with the bead curtain, and you make a fuss about the spring character that your daughter's family is used to, I'm afraid you guessed it." ”

"Whose young lady would be so boring? If it's a sister or sister in the house over there, why don't you come out to see each other? Momiji immediately questioned.

Xu Qinglian understood more and more, her face turned slightly red, and she covered her mouth in surprise and shook her head and sighed.

Xu Hao said: "How embarrassed to meet each other, even if they are all relatives, but it won't take long to become a mother-in-law, Xianggong, if it were you, would you be embarrassed to run out?" ”

"Ahh Momiji's eyes widened, and he exclaimed incredulously, "God, it's no wonder that's the case." ”

Xu Hao stood and slipped to the door, glanced at the red line drawn for himself on the ground, pursed his lips, and then chuckled smugly: "It seems that my intuition is really accurate, and I have escaped today." The old lady played a blind date quietly. Ha! It seems that the second brother is going to be selected. ”

"What about Big Brother? How can a younger brother marry first? Hongye counted while breaking his little fingers, "The two sisters of the eldest uncle and sister-in-law over there have already been engaged, Jing Xuan of the third uncle's family is eleven years old this year, and Jing Zhu of the fourth uncle's family is eight years old, who will it be?" ”

"Whoever you love, it's enough to kiss and kiss anyway. By the way, could it be the county lord of the Yan Wang family? Doesn't the old lady always want to climb to the top of the royal family? Xu Hao asked.

Xu Qinglian said slowly: "The Yan Wang family does not have a daughter of appropriate age, and I am afraid that the identity of the in-laws may be the other two aunts." ”

"The concubine is enough to satisfy the old lady." Xu Hao smiled spontaneously.

Hongye said regretfully: "It's a pity, it's a pity that my brother can become the lord of the county, but this time they are cheap, and I am angry." ”

Xu Hao looked at Hongye's beautiful face with contempt, and snorted: "I can't afford it, you like to marry a prince by yourself, don't expect me, this blessing is still left to the eldest brother and second brother." ”
