Xu Sihai opened her eyes, ignored her parents, and sat up with her hands on the bed. Mrs. Gao hurriedly stepped forward to support her son, and advised her son lovingly: "If you are dizzy, just stay lying down. You were very drunk last night."

"I'm fine," Xu Sihai looked impatient. He turned his head to the side to avoid Mrs. Gao's hand that wanted to touch his face. He looked at the maid standing on the corner of the bed and ordered: "Get clothes, I want to go out."

"You were very drunk last night. Look, your face is still pale. Why are you going out now? What's important? Even if it's important, you have to take care of yourself first." When Mrs. Gao heard that Xu Sihai was going out, she was anxious.

His brows furrowed, and Xu Shangshu also frowned. Xu Sihai moved forward, avoided Mrs. Gao and got out of bed. While urging the maid to get her clothes, she replied impatiently: "Nothing to do, let's go out for a drink."

.”

Mrs. Gao's mouth opened slightly in shock. She could hardly believe her ears. She subconsciously turned to look at her husband. Xu Shangshu frowned and reprimanded: "You have been drunk all night and you are still drunk? What nonsense are you talking about? You were drunk yesterday."

Runi, you haven’t received your punishment yet!”

"Then we'll punish you if you save too much." Xu Sihai took the clothes from the maid's hand and put them on randomly without looking at his father: "Wine is the best thing in the world. I just want to stay drunk forever."

Wake up." Even Xu Shangshu was dumbfounded this time. Looking at his son, like Mrs. Gao, he could hardly believe his ears. This son who had been sensible since he was a child and had always been his pride and who had hardly let him worry about it, now

What nonsense are you talking about?!

Xu Shangshu subconsciously stepped forward and reached out to touch Xu Sihai's forehead. Xu Sihai turned away impatiently: "Last night I realized that all fame and wealth are just clouds. People are just waiting to die. What's the fun?

It's better to get drunk, as one drink can relieve a thousand worries."

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Xu Shangshu couldn't help but angrily yelled. Xu Sihai's unbelievable behavior made him shocked and angry.

"Brother Hai, isn't he possessed by an evil spirit?" Madam Gao said in panic. Xu Shangshu glared at Madam Gao: "Why did he become possessed by reading sages' books? Evil comes from the mind. If you feel better, go and study. Don't mess around.

!" The second half of Xu Shangshu's sentence was yelled at Xu Sihai, but Xu Sihai seemed unaware. He just tied the silk ribbon around his waist carelessly, raised his feet and was about to walk out.

"Come back!" Xu Shangshu shouted violently, and Mrs. Gao trembled with fright. She couldn't help but whisper: "Be gentle, the child is still drunk."

"I'm awake," Xu Sihai's eyes were clear: "I realized that a person can't escape death even if he lives for a hundred years. Since life is boring, what else can you do if you don't drink? It won't be miserable when you're drunk." Mrs. Gao was really stupid this time.

Xu Shangshu was so angry that veins were twitching on his forehead: "You unfilial son! Okay, since you are enlightened but also boring, kneel down for me outside! Let me see how far you can achieve enlightenment!"

Xu Sihai bowed to Xu Shangshu, turned around and left the upper room, and knelt down in the yard. Seeing that Xu Shangshu didn't say a word, Xu Sihai actually knelt down like this. His face turned blue with anger.

Don't you worry? The quarrel was quite modest a while ago, so what does it mean today? Mrs. Gao looked at her extremely angry husband, and then at her son who was kneeling straight in the yard. She was anxious, angry and distressed, and turned around.

Knowing who to persuade first, Xu Shangshu walked around in circles angrily, stamped his feet, and walked away.

Mrs. Gao followed hurriedly and sent Xu Shangshu out of the courtyard. Seeing her husband walking away, she hurriedly turned back to the courtyard and pulled Xu Sihai to persuade her: "Your father is gone. Get up quickly. How can you child?"

Go ahead with your father and get up quickly, you were very drunk last night and you are not recovered yet."

Xu Sihai shook off Mrs. Gao with all her strength and continued to kneel with her head bowed. Mrs. Gao was so anxious that tears were about to fall down her face: "You silly kid, what's going on? Who are you trying to get angry with? Even if you get angry, you can't waste it.

Take care of yourself, get up quickly, if you have anything to say, you can't say it properly."

"Auntie, please go in and have a rest. I'm lifeless. It doesn't matter whether you kneel or sit down. It doesn't make any difference to me." Xu Sihai didn't look at Mrs. Gao, and said coldly with his head lowered. Mrs. Gao was confused and distressed when she heard this.

: "What are you talking about? Your father is teaching you for your own good. Get up quickly. How can you say such unlucky words at such a young age? Get up quickly." Xu Sihai stopped answering and just knelt down in silence with his head lowered.

After Mrs. Gao had said all her good and bad things, Xu Sidi just knelt and remained motionless, as if he had not heard Mrs. Gao's words at all. Mrs. Gao couldn't help but burst into tears: "You are kneeling like this, aren't you going to kill my mother-in-law?

"

Mrs. Gao couldn't persuade Xu Sihai, so she had to ask someone to go to the Ministry of Personnel to find Xu Shangshu and ask him to come back as soon as possible.

At the beginning of winter, it was the time when the annual performance evaluation of officials began. Xu Shangshu had been busy and restless. He hurried back to the house at noon. He heard that Xu Sihai was still kneeling in the yard. He was shocked and felt speechless.

, carrying the robe, ran all the way to Xu Sihai's courtyard. Xu Sihai's kneeling back looked pitiful and tired. Mrs. Gao sat on the chair next to her, her eyes were red from crying. When she saw Xu Shangshu come in, she stood up quickly and looked at

Xu Shangshu complained: "Look, look, do you want your son to kneel to death here? You left after saying those words. Brother Hai has been kneeling until now. In such a cold day, he is kneeling like this."

On this icy and cold ground, if I kneel down to do something good, how can my ancestors endure it?"

When Xu Sihai heard the noise, his back instantly straightened up. Xu Shangshu was angry and in pain. He first lost his temper at Mrs. Gao: "A loving mother often loses her son!" After saying that, he walked up to Xu Sihai in two steps and said with a cold face: "Get up.

!”

"Life is boring, extremely boring, I don't want to think about it." Xu Sihai raised his head and answered, but did not look at his father. Xu Shangshu fell down in anger: "You, you, at such a young age, do you know what fun is? Have you ever tasted what fun is?

Interesting? You unfilial son, get up!"

"You don't have to taste it, so what if you are ranked first? What if you are a noble person? What if you are famous? It's boring!" Xu Sihai looked awkward, and Xu Shangshu laughed angrily: "What do you have the right to say? You are ranked

"Yijia, the noble man has become a master and said this again. His knowledge is not great, but his tone is."

Xu Sihai chuckled a few times and turned away as if he no longer wanted to pay attention to his father. Xu Shangshu took a deep breath, took half a step back, and sat on the chair where Mrs. Gao was sitting just now. He took another breath, suppressed his anger, and looked at his son.

He said in a deep voice: "Are you making this scene because of your marriage?" Xu Sihai turned his head and remained silent. Xu Shangshu squinted his eyes, looked at his son and said: "If you have this temper, you must have this kind of temper."

You are good at what you do, so what if you say you are ranked No. 1, well, if you can be ranked No. 1 next spring, the marriage will be all up to you!"

"Dad, what do you mean?" Xu Sihai turned to stare at Xu Shangshu and asked Xu Shangshu. Xu Shangshu looked at his son, hummed and said: "Next spring, if you can be ranked first, the marriage will be yours.

, If you can’t, if you don’t have the ability, then just control your temper!”

"Is it settled in one word?" Xu Sihai stared at Xu Shangshu with gleaming eyes and gritted his teeth. Xu Shangshu simply said: "A gentleman's word!"

"Okay!" Xu Sihai put his hands on the ground and tried to stand up. Unexpectedly, he knelt for too long and his legs were numb. He used too much force and fell forward to the ground. Mrs. Gao rushed over with great distress: "Does it hurt from the fall?

Why don't you help me up quickly!" The maids and women rushed up, lifted Xu Sihai with all hands and feet, and hurriedly carried Xu Sihai into the room. They used medicinal wine to dissolve the cold air, brought hot soup to the hot soup, and prepared hot water to the cold air.

The yard was busy preparing hot water.

Mrs. Xu watched Xu Sihai dissolve the bruises on his legs and go into the clean room to take a bath. Then she walked out of Xu Sihai's yard with Xu Shangshu who had been sitting in the yard. She looked back uneasy and frowned.

He said in a loud voice: "Is this how the master agreed to him? With a horoscope like that of Nizi from the Li family, besides, I've had my horoscope approved by someone, and she can't be compatible with Brother Hai. If she has a horoscope like hers, it won't be compatible with her."

It's better, but this doesn't work, why did you agree to him?!"

"You don't have to think so much," Xu Shangshu said confidently, clasping his hands behind his back, "If he wants to marry the young lady of the Li family, he must first be ranked first. It's not that easy to be ranked first, I know."

The lady looked disapproving, and she opened her mouth to refute herself, so she quickly blocked her words and continued: "In your eyes, Brother Hai is so talented that no one can match him. If we are in the same county, no one can match him."

It's hard to say it, but in this spring, there are many talented people from all over the world, and there are many talented people. Apart from others, Jiang Jiu and Dalang Leng, who are now studying with the sixth brother, are no worse than Brother Hai.

, Besides, the top pick, second place, and top pick are not only determined by talent, but also by luck. If Brother Hai can really reach the top spot," Xu Shangshu stopped, turned to look at Mrs. Gao and said with a smile, "That's it.

God will grant him his blessing. Since God is willing to grant him his blessing, how can this marriage be different? We cannot trust the fortune telling. If they can make it accurate, wouldn't the world be in trouble?"

"The master is right. According to the master, how sure is our brother Hai that he will get into this class?" Mrs. Gao thought about it carefully for a while, her expression became much more relieved, her brows just relaxed, and they knitted together again.

Seeing Xu Shangshu ask with concern, Xu Shangshu shook his head and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you, when it comes to talent, even in Laoliu Mansion, Brother Hai cannot be the first.

Secondly, looking at luck, who can dare to say how sure it is? But there are only three people in the first class, how sure can you tell me?"

Mrs. Gao thought for a while, sighed and said, "I don't think I'm even 10% sure."

"It's not that there is nothing, but it's not even half a cent. It all depends on his fate. If he really can be ranked first, I will marry him. I can't ask for it." Xu Shangshu clasped his hands behind his back and said with a few cents.
