MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 27
Zhang Fangyuan was full of anger, and he hadn't had an attack yet. He lowered his head to look at the hand in his palm, as if a pot of water had been poured on a raging fire, and his irritability...disappeared immediately.
His complexion changed very quickly, and a bright smile was directly on his face, and his attitude towards Fei Lian was much better in an instant: "I want to congratulate Fei Lang, it is really rare to be a scholar. My mother-in-law told me Come with Brother He to look at the rankings for his second sister, now I can go back and report the good news, after talking about it, I have to call Fei Xiucai brother-in-law."
Fei Lian had been shocked by Xu He's actions and froze in place. Hearing Zhang Fangyuan's words, he automatically ignored the congratulations and caught the word "brother-in-law".
He looked panic-stricken, and after a while he opened his eyes and said: "You..."
"Ah yes, we're engaged. You don't know about Fei Xiucai's college entrance examination yet. When I'm on the nineteenth, my brother-in-law will come too."
Fei Lian felt breathless from Zhang Fangyuan's brother-in-law screaming in his chest. He looked at Xu He and murmured, "Why, why are you with him...but it's arranged by the family?"
"I came to ask for a kiss." Zhang Fangyuan said.
Xu He nodded.
Seeing Xu He agreeing, Fei Lian felt bitter. He didn't think Zhang Fangyuan was a good destination, and he couldn't say a word if he was asked to congratulate him.
A man's keen sense of smell, especially when meeting a rival in love, is like a woman's ability to discern a woman's pretentiousness at a glance.
Zhang Fangyuan saw that Fei Lian looked at Xu He differently, and he was not very happy with him before, but Xu He told him that the Fei family had taken a fancy to his second sister. Knowing that the two were impossible, he stopped pestering him. It was disgusting.
Looking at this person's posture today, he finds it interesting.
Zhang Fangyuan looked at the scholar playfully: "Fei Lian, you are surprised that Brother He is engaged, but because you like Brother He?"
Faced with this abrupt inquiry, Fei Lian's hands visibly shook. He didn't know how to argue. He admitted that it was not true, and that he did not admit it.
However, what it meant was self-evident, and Xu He opened his mouth slightly when he saw this.
Zhang Fangyuan was not very angry, after all, it was expected: "Your mother fell in love with Xu Shaochun, and you fell in love with Brother He. That Xiucai is going against the wishes of his parents, or is he giving up what he thinks? Or It is said that now that he is a scholar, has a reputation, and is a scholar who is beyond the reach of farmers and butchers like us, do you want to have both?"
The matter in his heart was revealed to the bright side, Fei Lian's face turned red up to the neck.
Seeing this, Xu He was not happy with Fei Lian's favor, but felt a fire in his heart.
The family background of the Fei family is not bad, and there is only Fei Lian, the only son, who is the only baby. Fei Lian, who was polite to everyone, would have a heart for him.
But this kindness didn't move him. With his second sister around, the Fei family wanted two more, so what could he do? He hadn't dreamed of thinking that he could be a good husband and wife.
Xu He said coldly: "You want me to be your concubine!?"
"I...I'm not..."
Zhang Fangyuan took the angry Xu He behind him, and said in a protective manner, "Okay! That's either, or he only wants He Geer. Today, as long as you can ignore the objections of your family and only choose He Geer Alone, I can give you a fair chance."
Fei Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Xu He and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was waiting for Brother He to respond. His eyes kept flickering, and after a long while: "Since entering the school, the master has taught that being filial to your parents is the most important thing. Mother has taken a fancy to Shaochun...I..."
"That's enough. If you can't do it, you can't do it. No matter how much you talk, it's just to make yourself feel at ease." Seeing him like this, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and interrupted him directly.
His voice became cold: "Your Fei family wants Xu Shaochun to show off, but also wants He Geer to live a life. Your Fei family will take advantage of all the benefits in the world?"
"I gave you a chance. Since you don't have the guts to take it, you should do it yourself and stay away from He Ge'er. If you say something unclear to He Ge'er in the future, I don't care if you are an unarmed scholar or an unarmed scholar. I can still hit the villains with big knives!"
After saying that, Zhang Fangyuan dragged Xu He away without waiting for anyone to talk, leaving only Fei Lian with his mouth open.
When the two returned to the bustling street, Xu He suddenly broke free from Zhang Fangyuan's hand.
Knowing that he was angry, Zhang Fangyuan immediately lost his momentum, and said aggrievedly: "I just want to test whether he has the courage, but in fact, he doesn't."
Xu He said: "If he has the guts to agree! Then what are you going to do? Come to our house and withdraw the marriage?"
"How come!" Zhang Fangyuan trembled in shock.
Then he said: "Even if he agrees to compete, it's useless. I'm a rascal in the first place, so I'll grab it! Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, I'm unreasonable."
Xu He pursed his lips: "You are an asshole."
"Yeah." Zhang Fangyuan responded, he is just a jerk.
Zhang Fangyuan tentatively touched the back of Xu He's hand again. Brother Xu didn't take his hand again, but he didn't refuse him to do it either. He frowned slightly, and the two walked side by side again.
"I honestly didn't expect him to want to marry me... No, rather than marrying me, it's better to want me to go to Fei's family as a slave and a handmaid."
Xu He was a little dazed walking on the street, but he was not afraid of being bumped by someone. With Zhang Fangyuan leading him, he couldn't be more secure.
"It's true that he likes you, but it's also true that he doesn't dare to disobey Mrs. Fei. Fei Lian has been studying since he was a child. I'm afraid Mrs. Fei has never let him touch the affairs of the field and family. How dare he not go along with him? Mother means. There is nothing wrong with being filial in itself, but it is not acceptable for a man who has always obeyed his parents and does not have his own opinions."
Xu He looked at his toes, and he knew that Zhang Fangyuan was right.
"There are two clothes like this. One is gorgeous and decent, but it is thin and not warm; the other is rough and rustic, but it is thick and warm. May I ask, which one would I choose? Fei Lian is a scholar and can read Writing and planning, he wants to choose to wear the warm ones inside and the gorgeous ones outside."
So decent to have, and it won't be cold. Xu He couldn't help thinking, did he make a mistake in choosing this way? In order to be considerate of myself, it is actually not a big mistake.
Zhang Fangyuan felt distressed when he heard it: "Brother He, it's not a good thing for me that he likes you, but it just shows that it's good for someone to see you, and you are no worse than your second sister. It's just that he is more important to him Just myself."
"yes?"
"Yes. In my eyes, you are better than anyone."
Seeing that the man stopped talking for a long time, Zhang Fangyuan shook his hand: "Huh?"
"it is good."
Zhang Fangyuan tightened his hands.
"Stop thinking about that grandson, if you think about him again, I'm going to beat him up!"
Xu He hurriedly grabbed Zhang Fangyuan: "He is a scholar now, but he can't beat him. Do you want to go to jail?"
"We're about to get married, so it's impossible to go to prison now. If you don't want me to go to prison, don't think about him."
Xu He glared at Zhang Fangyuan, opened his mouth and kept thinking about him, as if he said that he had a deep-rooted affection for him, and he generously let the past go: "I didn't think about him."
There was a smile on Zhang Fangyuan's face: "Go, I'll take you shopping."
"Spending money again?"
"What's the waste of money? You can't decorate a wedding room when you're married? You have to buy something that you need. You can use it when you come over. Why don't you choose it with me? I can't choose well."
Xu He followed the people to the door only to realize that Zhang Fangyuan wanted to buy wardrobes, dressing tables, quilts and other items. There is no one who bought these things with her husband before getting married, and he doesn't have to want these things, and he doesn't have them in Xu's family.
Zhang Fangyuan is very stubborn, he asks his buddy to recommend to buy if he doesn’t choose. The dressing table with a small bronze mirror also cost 500 Wen. As for the quilt, he refused to buy it anyway. Zhang Fangyuan promised that he would buy it himself.
Xu He feels sorry for Zhang Fangyuan and spends money like water. Even if the money is spent on himself, he can feel that Zhang Fangyuan attaches great importance to him, but the price of this attention is too high. After paying so much, he gave him a bracelet worth 4,000 Wen, and now he is preparing these household items for him, which really made him feel that he deserved it.
Maybe the little brother and daughter of the village chief's family will be treated like this when they get married, but what can he do.
"If you don't buy it now, you will have to buy it when you get married. Anyway, you need to use it. Buy it early and enjoy it. Don't worry about money."
Xu He sighed slightly and nodded.
After the two bought things, Zhang Fangyuan also heaved a sigh of relief, but there was one less thing. He was going to take Xu He to eat at a restaurant he used to frequent when he was in the city, but Xu He said he spent too much money and refused to let him go. He couldn't, and the two ended up at a street stall Ordered two bowls of noodles and a bowl of wontons.
"This noodle tastes good, and the soup is still made from pork bones."
A large bowl of noodles is served, and the wontons look much smaller, after all, there are some pork fillings inside. He picked up the wonton and put half of it into Xu He's noodle bowl: "The owner of the shop will go to the meat market to buy big pork bones before dawn in the morning, and he bought them at my stall twice."
Xu He took a sip of the noodles. The soup did have the meaty aroma of big bones. Put a handful of watered noodles into a bowl filled with broth, sprinkle some chopped green onion, and add a few slices of spring vegetables. The taste is very difficult. Xu He felt that he could make this taste himself, or even make it better, but the same bowl of noodles tasted different when eaten at home and in restaurants outside.
The small wontons are also delicious, but they are more of a type of gnocchi. Although there are pork fillings, the meat fillings are very finely chopped, and a lot of green onions are added in. There is probably only a little stuffing like a little finger in a wonton. , I can't taste any meat.
"good to eat."
Seeing that Zhang Fangyuan was holding his chopsticks but not moving, Xu He kept watching him eat, as if he was waiting for a comment, so he said two words, and Zhang Fangyuan moved his chopsticks cheerfully.
He wanted to laugh a little in his heart, this person sometimes looks like a child.
The two of them drove back after they had eaten their fill. It was already afternoon when they arrived in the village. The news that Fei Lian had been admitted as a scholar had spread all over the village. It was heard that Fei's family was going to entertain people with wine, which made it even more lively.
Zhang Fangyuan carried the corn seeds bought by Xu He on his back and sent them to Xu's house before returning. Liu Xianglan didn't dare to say a word to Xu He in front of Zhang Fangyuan, and changed her expression after the person left: "Buy a seed and look at the list." It's been a long time! I'm still waiting for your news, others have come back and said it over and over again. What can you do!"
Xu He said unhurriedly: "The left and right have got the news, so it doesn't matter sooner or later."
When Xu Shaochun got the news, his tail turned up again, he dressed very smartly, and waited for the Fei family to come to his door at any time: "After He Geer got engaged to the butcher, his speech became more and more unpleasant, and he seemed to be treating a barbarian. It's been a long time, and I've gotten a little rough. Mom, don't be angry, Fei Lang behaves modestly, so he won't upset you like this."
Thinking of this good thing at the moment, Liu Xianglan's complexion suddenly turned rosy and looked better, she ignored Xu He, and the mother and daughter entered the room arm in arm to discuss the marriage of the Fei family.
Although the village is very lively right now, the Fei family is not very happy.
Knowing that Brother He is engaged to Zhang Fangyuan, and the marriage is coming soon, he resents himself for not having the courage to fight for it. The joy of being a scholar in the exam has long been ruined by this bad news. He came back to the village in desperation, wanting to go home and make a big fuss, but he could see his parents were angry again, sitting in the room dull, without a trace of joy on his face.
Even if his son didn't say much, Mrs. Fei knew the reason for his depression. She thought that her son would be unhappy when he heard the news, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
"Son, now that you have passed the examination as a scholar, the imperial court will give you two thousand dollars a month. Our peasant family, a middle-level peasant family, only saves so much money in a year. My son can get it in a month. That's With great promise, I rewarded another five acres of fertile land, which produced a stone more grain than ordinary Susukida. It’s really smoke from our Fei family’s ancestral grave. My son’s future is also bright, so why worry about it if he wants to do decent work in the future? Such a little brother, there will be more in the future."
It was rare for Fei Lian to refute his mother loudly, saying: "I have all these things today, but I don't like the person I like, how can I be happy." Isn't it just like the sorrow of the person who can't stay together in the book, he has done something today. Respondents.
Mrs. Fei paused, seeing her son like this, it was not good to say bad things about Xu He to reassure him, so she could only say: "Shaochun is delicate and tender, my son will forget him after he gets married. How can everything be done in life?" It's okay, even so, we all have to live a good life, don't we?"
Fei Lian was powerless to say any more, he only hated himself for being cowardly and helpless, so he hid his face, went into the room and lay down on the bed and cried bitterly.
