Chapter Thirty-Three
"Ouyang Zhan!" Nangong Cheng smiled and said, "Yes! I even forgot that I have such a resourceful friend."
Xiang Tianyu smiled and nodded.
Nangong Cheng looked at Xiang Tianyu and said, "Do you have anything else to ask me?"
Xiang Tianyu shook his head and said: "No more, I have already finished what I wanted to ask."
Nangong Chengdao: "Didn't you say there is something else you want to tell me? You can tell me now."
Xiang Tianyu hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "No, I have nothing to tell you."
Nangong Cheng saw that Xiang Tianyu was lying, but did not expose it. He continued: "Didn't you encounter some difficult problem that you wanted to discuss with me? You can talk about it now."
Xiang Tianyu hesitated for a while, and finally said with a smile: "No, I didn't encounter any problems. Once you come back, my problems will be solved."
Nangong Cheng smiled. He saw that Xiang Tianyu was lying, but he still didn't catch on. So he said, "Okay, then tell me what happened in the past three months."
Xiang Tianyu first said "Ah" and then said: "Nothing happened in the past three months."
"Nothing happened?" Nangong Cheng looked into Xiang Tianyu's eyes.
Xiang Tianyu nodded.
"Did nothing really happen?" Nangong Cheng looked at Xiang Tianyu keenly.
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, why do you ask me?" Xiang Tianyu said angrily.
Nangong Cheng sighed and said, "I told you all the truth, but you lied to me and told me lies." After saying this, Nangong Cheng got off Xiang Tianyu and lay down on his back.
Next to Xiang Tianyu.
After listening to Nangong Cheng's words, Xiang Tianyu also felt that something was wrong with him, so he turned sideways to Nangong Cheng and said, "Ms. sir, I'm sorry, I..."
Nangong Cheng saw that Xiang Tianyu still refused to say anything, so he once again covered Xiang Tianyu's body and said, "If you feel sorry, tell me what happened in the past three months!"
Xiang Tianyu shook his head.
Nangong Chengdao: "Why don't you tell me? Did you do something behind my back to make me feel sorry for you?"
Xiang Tianyu didn't answer. It seemed that she had indeed done something to feel sorry for Nangong Cheng in the past three months.
Nangong Chengdao: "What have you done to offend me? Tell me about it! If it's not too much, I will forgive you."
Xiang Tianyu shook his head.
Nangong Chengdao: "If you don't say anything anymore, I will 'torture' you!"
"'Use torture'! No matter what kind of 'punishment' you use, I will never tell you!" Xiang Tianyu said angrily.
How could Nangong Cheng be willing to torture Xiang Tianyu? He said that the torture was just to scare Xiang Tianyu. Since the hard one was not enough, he had to use the soft one. Fortunately, Xiang Tianyu had been coquettish to Nangong Cheng many times, and Nangong Cheng also knew how to learn.
Nangong Cheng said coquettishly: "Well - just tell me, okay? I really want to know what you have done to regret me! I promise I won't blame you!"
Xiang Tianyu didn't expect that Nangong Cheng would use this trick. Looking at Nangong Cheng's coquettish look, he smiled and said, "What you learned is really nothing like it."
Nangong Cheng smiled and said: "I know I'm not good at it, but when I see you smiling, it means you plan to tell me the matter, right?"
Xiang Tianyu sighed helplessly and said: "Ms. sir, I'm sorry, you
During my absence, I paid homage to someone else!"
"What?" Nangong Cheng was shocked.
"But, it was just a visit to the church. I didn't do anything else out of the ordinary." Xiang Tianyu put his hands around Nangong Cheng's neck, "Ms. sir, you will forgive me, right?"
Nangong Chengdao: "Tell me about this matter. If there are extenuating circumstances, I will forgive you!"
Xiang Tianyu smiled and nodded. Judging from her performance, it seemed that this matter was indeed excusable. Xiang Tianyu said: "This matter started a month ago."
As Xiang Tianyu recalled, time seemed to return to the Hermitage Villa a month ago.
At that time, a noble man, seven feet tall, wearing yellow fine silk, with several fine jade pendants wrapped around his waist, came to the Hermitage with a betrothal gift, prepared fruits and melons for the old lady, and went to the Hermitage.
The noble man was received in the hall. Mei Shengxue and Grandpa Xu were both in the hall at that time. The noble man clasped his fists at the old lady Xiang and said: "My dear Huang Yue, I heard that Hermit Villa showed off his intelligence to the eldest lady, so I came here to propose marriage with a small gift.
"
Mrs. Xiang looked Huang Yue up and down and said, "Looking at the way the young master is dressed, he must have been born in a merchant family, right?"
Huang Yue nodded and said: "Although I was born in a merchant family, my father hopes that I can be named on the gold medal list and honor my ancestors, so I have been studying since I was a child. I hope that one day I will be the top scholar in high school and become an official in the future to benefit the people."
"Okay! It's really rare for Mr. Huang to have such an ambition!" Mrs. Xiang said to Mei Shengxue who was standing beside her: "Go and call the young lady quickly."
"Yes," Mei Shengxue responded, and came to find Xiang Tianyu. She told Xiang Tianyu the matter, and then left the Hermit Villa to find Ouyang Zhan. Xiang Tianyu came to the lobby, she wanted
Drive Huang Yue away and she will not marry anyone except Nangong Cheng.
At that time, Huang Yue and Mrs. Xiang were chatting happily. As soon as Xiang Tianyu came in, he broke the cheerful atmosphere with a cough.
Mrs. Xiang pointed at Huang Yue and said to Xiang Tianyu: "Yu'er, look, this is the fiancé I have chosen for you. What do you think?"
"Not so good?" Xiang Tianyu walked to a fruit plate, picked up an apple and ate it by himself. While eating, he said to the old lady: "Grandma, didn't I tell you? I have a husband.
My husband’s name is Nangong Cheng. He is doing something right now, and he will come and marry me when the matter is done.”
"Nonsense! You haven't held a wedding ceremony yet, where did you get your husband?" After Mrs. Xiang angrily scolded Xiang Tianyu, she said to Huang Yue: "Master Huang, don't mind, this girl has been spoiled by me, so she is a little unruly and willful."
"No, no," Huang Yue said with a smile, "I really like Miss Xiang's frankness and cuteness."
Xiang Tianyu snorted and said with a smile: "You are so unruly and willful that you are said to be frank and cute, you are really hypocritical!" After that, she said to the old lady Xiang: "Grandma, this person is so hypocritical, I can't marry him!
"
"Shut up!" Old Madam Xiang said angrily: "Since ancient times, marriage matters have been ordered by parents. How can you make the decision on the matchmaker's words? If you want to listen, just listen here. If you don't listen, go out.
Stay."
Xiang Tianyu snorted and took a bite of the apple. Of course she couldn't go out, of course she couldn't let Mrs. Xiang marry her off, and of course she couldn't marry someone she didn't like, so she crossed her arms and stood angrily by the door.
.
Mrs. Xiang comforted Xiang Tianyu and said, "I didn't just find this for you.
Man, this Mr. Huang is a man of great talent."
"The number one talent?" Xiang Tianyu smiled and thought of a way to make Huang Yue look embarrassed. She said, "Since he is the number one talent, he must be talented, right?"
Huang Yue stood up, smiled and clasped his fists, saying: "Girl, I don't dare to accept your praise."
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Xiang Tianyu said: "Since you are a talented person, you must be able to recite poems and compose, right? I have some first couplets, but I have never thought of the second couplets. Why don't you help me with them?
How about the second line?”
"This..." Huang Yue seemed a little embarrassed. He must have known that Xiang Tianyu was good at reciting poems and making antithetical couplets, so he didn't dare to make antithetical couplets with Xiang Tianyu.
Xiang Tianyu said to the old lady: "Grandma, look at him, he doesn't even dare to confront me with the couplet. From this look, you know that he is not a person with the talent of the top scholar at all."
Old Madam Xiang sighed. She also guessed that Xiang Tianyu would propose a couplet, but the reason Xiang Tianyu told her made it impossible for her to refuse. Old Madam Xiang could only say to Huang Yue: "Young Master Huang, you don't have to be polite, just go with the silly girl.
Couple it! Let her also know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world."
"How is it? Do you dare?" Xiang Tianyu looked at Huang Yue and said.
"Okay!" Huang Yue stood up and said to Xiang Tianyu: "Girl, please give me the couplet."
Xiang Tianyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, my first couplet is very simple." After that, she read out the first couplet: "In dire straits, Jin Shangshu is still carrying out construction projects."
Huang Yue stood up and walked around, walking over, over, over, and over again, but he didn't think about the second line.
Xiang Tianyu watched Huang Yue walking around in front of him and said with a smile: "Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps. You have already walked more than 20 steps and you can't even think of a second line. How can you say you are so talented?"
The talent of the number one scholar is really hilarious!"
Mrs. Xiang called Huang Yue to her side and asked in a low voice: "Isn't this second couplet difficult?"
Huang Yue whispered: "Miss Xiang integrated the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth into the couplet. I have to think of five opposites to make the second couplet."
"Hey, hey, hey..." Xiang Tianyu said loudly: "Does this top scholar still need to discuss the second line with others? This is clearly a lie."
Huang Yue sighed, cupped his fists to Xiang Tianyu and said, "This couplet is indeed too difficult for me. I can't match it. I'm afraid there are not many scholars in the world who can match it."
Xiang Tianyu snorted coldly and said: "If you can't stand up to me, just say that there aren't many people in the world who can stand up to you. I don't know if there are people out there. It's you, not me. I don't think you can get the number one scholar."
, I should go back and study for a few more years, maybe I can become a scholar!"
"Does the girl have a second couplet?" Huang Yue cupped his fists and said, "I have to ask the girl about the second couplet."
Xiang Tianyu put down his hands and said: "Listen carefully, the second line is: etiquette is light and trust is heavy, Emperor Zhi continues to promote benevolence and righteousness."
"Wonderful!" Huang Yue clapped his hands and praised: "The five virtues of benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom, belief, and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. This couplet is really wonderful!" After praising him, Huang Yue clasped his fists at Xiang Tianyu and said: "
The girl is really talented, and the young man is willing to fall behind."
Xiang Tianyu snorted and said: "I can stand up to you, but you can't stand up to me. Why? Because I have the five virtues of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust and trust in my heart, but you don't have the five virtues of benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust and trust in your heart."
