As soon as I returned to the house, I saw Zhu's mother holding Zhang Ning and talking in the yard.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Zhu Han walked to the stone table, sat down, took Zhu's mother's hand and laughed, "Why did you take a walk to the Yamen?"
"What? Is your yamen like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? I can't go there?"
Zhu's mother was obviously still sulky with Zhu Han. She took out her hand, pulled Zhang Ning, patted the stone stool beside her, and said with a smile: "My dear, stop pressing it, come and sit here!"
In front of Zhu's mother, Zhang Ning was really like a little daughter-in-law, shy and reserved.
"Oh, girl Ning'er is so pretty, I wonder which boy she will take advantage of in the future?"
For Zhang Ning, Mother Zhu liked him more and more the more she looked at him.
After hearing this, Zhang Ning immediately stared at Zhu Han fiercely with a pair of phoenix eyes. It was like saying, 'You didn't tell your mother about me and me?'
"Mom, the actual thing is like this. Over there in Nian, I took the time to go to Litao County and mentioned my marriage to Ning'er's father. I have already made an agreement with Ning'er's father.
In the next year, when I grow up, I will marry Ning'er and bring her home."
"Ah? Your kid has already proposed marriage? How old are you? Why are you thinking about this so much?" Zhu's mother was stunned when she heard this, then hit Zhu Han on the head and blamed: "This matter of marriage leave has been around since ancient times.
It's all the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Are your wings stiff? You didn't discuss such a big thing with your mother in advance. Did you bring a betrothal gift when you went? When did you go? Why didn't I know?
"
Seeing Zhu's mother dragging Zhu Han around and asking random questions made Zhang Ning blush with embarrassment, but she didn't want to leave just like that, so she could only sit there, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
"I just came back from Xindu to report my work. Didn't I have a grudge against the people from Taishan, so I changed my route to Litao? I didn't bring any betrothal gift when I went there! I just waved my hands and went there! Ning'er's father also
It's easy to talk. They gave me three years to manage Jing County before they would marry Ning'er to me! No, I was busy with this and that as soon as I came back, for fear of aging you.
My daughter-in-law has been lost!"
Zhu Han spread his hands and smiled helplessly.
Now that I think about it carefully, when I went to Litao alone, Zhu Han's approach was still not appropriate. At the very least, he had to bring a few local specialties with him.
"I said you bastard, how could you do this? You came to the door without bringing any betrothal gift? How do you want people to treat our Zhu family? You have completely disgraced our Zhu family!" Mother Zhu
When he heard this, he immediately became angry, grabbed Zhu Han's ears and scolded him.
"No, we have to make up for our mistakes. Since everyone has agreed, then we have to learn etiquette. How about this? You kid, hurry up and ask Ning'er to see what his family likes. After we have prepared all the gifts
, your boy quickly sent me to someone else's house. You said this is the same with my father-in-law, and our father-in-law has also mentioned it. Why hasn't he sent someone to do the horoscope? In my opinion, it's because you don't know the etiquette and offended me.
Got it!"
When it comes to Zhu Han's marriage, Zhu's mother can talk endlessly, and even Zhang Ning's head is about to explode.
"No, you have to ask a matchmaker to go with you! We can't let your kid bring trouble to such a good marriage!" Zhu's mother scolded Zhu Han while calculating, "It's all your fault, kid, look at this.
Damn it!"
"Ning'er, from now on we are a family. How many people are there in your family?"
Only now did Zhu's mother see Zhang Ning, who was already a little overwhelmed. She quickly took Zhang Ning's little hand and said with a smile: "Look, I just said that we two are destined to be together! You are about to become mine."
She is the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, and I, the mother-in-law, don’t even know about it yet!”
After finishing speaking, Zhu's mother glared at Zhu Han fiercely again.
"There are only father, second uncle, and third uncle in the family."
Zhang Ning lowered his head and replied sheepishly.
"My father-in-law, they are three brothers! This is good, unlike our Zhu family, which only has Wei Niang and Zhu Han. Are your second uncle and third uncle married?"
Mother Zhu asked with a smile.
"Not yet!"
"You are not young now, are you? Why haven't you gotten married yet? Have you not met the right one? This is not okay. I have to give you a second uncle for my mother. Third uncle, please pay attention! This niece is about to get married, and they are still
I’m not married, it wouldn’t sound good if I said it out loud!”
"Oh, ma'am, please stop talking, you're so embarrassed!"
"Why, if you don't tell me, don't tell me. Girl Ning'er, please tell me what your father, second uncle, and third uncle like first. I'll let someone prepare it!"
"My father likes to play chess and read books on weekdays; my second uncle likes to arrange troops and dance with guns and sticks; my third uncle is similar to my second uncle, but he doesn't like to talk."
"That's it! Then let someone prepare a white jade chessboard, and get two good weapons, and preferably two good horses! These will be given to your father, your second uncle, and your third uncle, and then here, aunt,
I’ll prepare a betrothal gift for Ning’er, and I’ll make sure that you, the little girl, will love the movie so much!”
"As long as it's a gift from my aunt, I like it!"
Zhu's mother suddenly turned to look at Zhu Han and said fiercely: "Did you hear that? I'll leave the white jade chessboard and the magic weapon and horse to you!"
"My dear mother! This is so urgent. Where did you ask me to find a magic weapon and a BMW for you?" Zhu Han was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the fire was burning on his body again, and he made a grimace.
Said: "Do you always think that those things are just cabbage on the street? How much do you want?"
"Did I say you are stupid?"
Mother Zhu poked Zhu Han's forehead angrily and cursed: "Didn't you make a deal with the Zhen family in Zhongshan? If you don't have anything, the Zhen family won't have it. Even if the Zhen family doesn't have it, then you earn so much
What are you using the money for? Don’t you want to buy it?”
"Okay, leave this to me! I'll figure it out!" Seeing Zhu's mother holding Zhang Ning there and talking and laughing, Zhu Han knew that he probably wouldn't be able to get any useful information out today, so he simply stood up.
He said goodbye and left, planning to go around the city.
But when Zhu Han just left the house, Zhang Ning chased him from behind.
"You little girl, if you are not talking to your future mother-in-law at home, why did you come to me?"
Zhu Han rolled his eyes and asked angrily while fixing Zhang Ning's messy hair.
"Haha, didn't I miss you, Brother Zhu? Why, Brother Zhu, are you surprised that we suddenly appeared in your Yamen?"
Zhang Ning jumped up to Zhu Han with a pair of small hands behind her back, bent her waist, raised her little head, and said with a smile.
"Tell me, how many people have been released into my yamen this time? Tell me honestly!"
Zhu Han sighed, compared with these big forces, he really was nothing.
"There aren't many people, just two or three,"
Zhang Ning first made some gestures with her fingers. Then she saw that Zhu Han's face was not very good. She raised the corner of her mouth and said coquettishly: "Don't I want to know your news as soon as possible? You still blame me?"
?”
"My dear Miss Zhang, just keep doing it. I'll see how long you can do it!"
Zhu Han rolled his eyes and didn't intend to continue messing around with this young lady. Distraught, Zhu Han was about to go to the Moxiang Academy that Xi Zhicai had mentioned.
"Brother Zhu, why are you ignoring me?"
"Wow, how dare you ignore me! You have a good temper!"
"Zhu Hansan..."
While walking, just when Zhang Ning could no longer hold back and was about to get angry, the group of people finally arrived in front of the Moxiang Academy. It was already noon, and there was still the sound of reading in the academy. Curious
Then Zhu Han asked Dian Wei to knock on the door.
"I said, why did you bring me to the academy? What? Do you still want to go back and remake it?"
Zhang Ning glanced at the school's sign and said with a smile: "My father has long said that you are a clever kid, but you haven't read any books. It would be terrible if you had read a book!"
"Yes, yes! If I haven't read a book, why don't I still marry you, Miss Zhang?" Zhu Han's face suddenly changed, and he laughed happily: "If I had read a book, how could I marry you?
And what’s going on with you, Miss Zhang? I am now the guest of some princess or princess!”
"you...."
In the first half of the sentence, Zhang Ning was still a little shy. She thought Zhu Han would say a few love words to her, but she didn't expect that the second half of the sentence was full of such slutty words. She was so angry that she directly stretched her hands to Zhu Han's waist, and then said
pinch, twist.
"hiss....."
The pain that penetrated his bones and reached the depths of his soul made Zhu Han almost yell out.
"Humph, I told you to talk nonsense!"
Once he succeeded, Zhang Ning stopped embarrassing Zhu Han and saw her holding her hands in triumph.
"You..." Zhu Han rubbed the hot soft flesh on his waist and looked at Zhang Ning fiercely. But after holding it in for a long time, he still didn't say anything harsh, "You are cruel! A good man can't
Fight with women!”
"Creak!"
At this moment, the door of the school was opened from the inside. A boy about seven or eight years old stuck out his little head from the inside, looked at Zhu Han and his group and asked: "I wonder if you are coming to Moxiang School?
What's the matter?"
"My Excellency, Zhu Han, I heard that Mo Chen, the Confucian Master of Mo Xiang Academy, came to pay a special visit! Please come in and let me know!"
Zhu Han was afraid that Dian Wei's reckless behavior would offend him, so he hurriedly grabbed Dian Wei, who wanted to declare his family status, and smiled at the child.
"That's it! Come in!" The boy tilted his head and thought for a while, then opened the door and let Zhu Han and others in.
"Don't you inform me in advance? If we rashly disturb the master's purification, we would be guilty of a big sin!"
Zhu Han didn't move, he said doubtfully.
"No need. Sir once said that if someone calling himself Zhu Han comes to visit, he can come in directly without notifying him in advance!"
The child thought for a moment and asked: "Sir, didn't you just call yourself Zhu Han?"
"This is Zhu Han!"
Zhu Han replied thoughtfully.
"That's right, everyone, please come in! The gentleman is in the backyard right now! We can just go to the backyard!"
When the boy and Zhu Han and others passed by a shed, they saw more than ten students reading in Lang Lang. The arrival of Zhu Han and others also aroused the students' ideas, and they all lay down by the shed and looked at them.
He was far away just now and couldn't see clearly, but now that he was close, Zhu Han was really a little embarrassed. This group of people were all wearing uniform black clothes, presumably the school's 'school uniform', but judging from their age, Zhu Han
Han suddenly felt sad. There was a big age gap between them. There were children of seven or eight years old, teenagers in their teens, and a few young adults in their twenties and thirties. Zhu Han actually discovered a few black and white people.
Judging from the age of the old man who handed over, he was probably forty or fifty years old, and these old men did not look like teachers, because among the students, they were more like students studying.
This school is not big, and it didn't take long to reach the so-called backyard.
"Sir, Master Zhu Han is here!"
The child stepped forward and knocked on the door, then stood aside respectfully and said.
"Come in!"
After a long time, an old voice came from the yard.
Then, the door to the backyard automatically opened from the inside. The sound of mechanical gears turning made Zhu Han suddenly startled. Then he raised his head and stared at the door in disbelief.
