On the eve of leaving, Liu Zhixia received an invitation from the old man in Yuan's mansion and invited him to go to the ink house in the city to enjoy paintings and tea.

When he heard that the people of the Yuan Mansion came to report, Liu Zhixia's face flashed with a moment of surprise, and then he regained his composure.

At that time, Fu Yuzheng was cleaning up the paper and pen in the living room for edamame to practice calligraphy, "Ink and Wash House is quite famous in the city, it is a gallery, and most of the calligraphy and paintings are hung by famous artists, and there are also poor students who sell calligraphy and paintings to support their families." You can go and see a lot of boutiques. ”

"You know that, too?" Liu Zhixia teased.

"Naturally, I know, although I had a hard time when I was a child, I also grew up in the capital, and I know the capital better than you. In addition to the entertainment you have to go to on weekdays, you go home directly after the court, but I am afraid that you don't know how many attractions and shops there are in the capital now. ”

"Then I'll need more advice from Madame."

"Well, as long as the husband needs it."

"All the time."

Edamame supported his little head with both hands, rolled his eyebrows low, and his father was now in the court, except for throwing a few calligraphy books for him to practice, he basically didn't care about him.

It's annoying to always pestering my mother to talk.

It was still late afternoon, and Liu Zhixia arrived as promised.

When he arrived, Yuan Lao was already appreciating calligraphy and painting in the ink cure, holding a crutch, squinting his eyes and tilting his head, looking at the calligraphy and paintings in front of him laboriously.

Doddering.

He was followed by a few people, who should be the shopkeeper and manager of Ink House, trembling and nervous.

Liu Zhixia was basked, these people were afraid that Yuan Lao would fall or bump if he couldn't walk steadily, and Ink House couldn't bear the responsibility.

"Old Yuan, you are embarrassing people when you come out like this."

walked over and smiled at Yuan Lao.

"How to embarrass people? Do you all think that the old man is old, and if you bump and touch someone, you will be gone? The old man is still sober and can walk, so he doesn't need you to watch. If there is really anything that has nothing to do with you, the old man said. Yuan Lao let go, turned his head and looked at the people around him, "Let's go." He's coming, and I'm watching, so I don't need you to get in the way. ”

The previous sentence also said that it has nothing to do with people, and in the next sentence, he will pile his responsibility on others, Liu Zhixia has a sense of ridicule.

The shopkeeper of the Ink House was very happy about this, and walked briskly, as if he had removed the big burden on his shoulders.

"Come here, help the old man, you are really old, you can't accept the old, you can still save face in front of outsiders, but you don't have to do it in front of you. You've got a clear mind. Yuan Lao beckoned, motioned for Liu Zhixia to go over to help him, and the two walked slowly down the gallery.

Maybe it was an extra hello, but there was no third person in the gallery at this time except for the two of them. The whole gallery is very clean.

"The old man knows that you are a smart and transparent person, why did he call you out this time, you must have guessed the reason, and the old man will not go around in circles with you. Since the Xiliang negotiations, you haven't been to my house again, just to avoid suspicion, right? ”

The old man got straight to the point, and Liu Zhixia didn't pretend to be it, nodding, "Yes, it's good for everyone." ”

Yuan Lao sighed, "How did you say your father gave birth to you?" So what to do well? If you were mediocre, you wouldn't be so attractive to bees and butterflies, how many things have you done for me? ”

He invited people out this time, and the old man was in a panic.

A lifetime of brightness, when you are old, come to plant a heel.

It's really old, my heart has softened, and I'm starting to be a little confused.

Regarding the old man's ridiculous accusation, Liu Zhixia only smiled and did not answer.

People's self-control comes from the self itself, and they can't control themselves, but they complain that others are too good to resist the temptation, which is putting the cart before the horse.

It's the excuse I made for my own behavior.

Yuan Lao also knew that he was looking for an excuse to push, "Hey, how can I blame you, I can't blame you, if you are not good enough, you will not be able to enter the eyes of the old man." But is it really possible at all? ”

"Yuan Lao has been clear and clear all his life, and he stands proudly in three dynasties, and he shouldn't look away from people. My temperament, Yuan Lao must have understood seven or eight times out of ten. ”

"My old man Yuan has saved most of the foundation of Jiazi, and the hidden connections are beyond your imagination, and the benefits that can be brought to you are also unimaginable, don't you really think about it? Maybe Yun'er has a chance to coexist peacefully with Mrs. Liu? ”

"Not considered. Without Yuan Lao's connections, as long as I want to, my achievements may not be lower than Yuan Lao's in the future. ”

Old Yuan was silent for a while before snorting lightly, "Shameless boy, okay, if the old man is not dead, the old man will open his eyes and see how high you can climb." ”

"Elder Yuan, wait and see."

The old man's crutches pointed forward, "Accompany me to see the painting, I haven't been here for a long time, there are many people I don't know, looking at the eyes, but the painting is not bad." ”

The topic of Yuan Yunqiao stopped here, and the old man did not mention it again after that, and he did not have any estrangement with Liu Zhixia because of this rejection.

On the contrary, I looked at this young man who was on the rise even more differently.

At the beginning, Liu Zhixia broke into his eyes with the posture of the top three and the first, although this result was good, it was not uncommon before, it was not uncommon, and then Liu Zhixia climbed up step by step, and there was no shadow of the king of Nanling behind him, and Yuan Lao looked down.

After that, he once again looked at this young man squarely, and he became the emperor's auxiliary minister with him, and he had contact with him, and he knew the true material of this person and the character of being neither humble nor arrogant, so Yuan Lao really changed his opinion in the exam.

It is indeed a rare talent among the younger generation of the DPRK and China.

Compared with his talent, Yuan Lao appreciates his character more.

Character is the backbone of a person.

Those who can not be confused by power, not be fascinated by thousands of flowers, and stick to their hearts and steadfastness, this alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

It's a pity that his Yuan family is not blessed.

Their little granddaughter is not blessed.

It's all fate, who told them not to be in time?

People have been invited, and they have talked about it, and in addition to the love of the elders for the younger generations, he has also explained Yun'er's request.

It doesn't matter what happens in the future, if you can't control it, what kind of creation will there be, let the young people toss it themselves.

Knowing that Yuan Lao invited Liu Zhixia to talk, Yuan Yunqiao stayed in the mansion all day and didn't go anywhere, staring at the news anxiously.

When Yuan Lao came back, it was nearly evening, and he only gave her one sentence, "There is no hope, turning back is the shore." ”

After saying that, the old man went back to the flower hall to nap on the chaise longue.

Yuan Yunqiao lay in bed for three whole days.

Fu Yuzheng didn't ask Liu Zhixia about what he talked about when he went to the Super Tiger Gate.

Liu Zhixia didn't mention it to him either.

There is a natural tacit understanding between husband and wife, one party does not ask, and the other party does not mention, so there is no need to care about this matter.
