He is tall and big

Ran Jiqiu in the academy still doesn't know what happened at home.

After school, he followed the crowd to the gate, and saw a tall man standing by the carriage from a distance.

I saw Liu Ying fixed his eyes on the direction of the schoolhouse, and quickly searched the crowd. Soon, Ran Jiqiu saw that pair of eagle-like eyes locked his position, the dark eyes obviously lit up, his body Also followed a little straighter.

Ran Jiqiu paused, and finally walked over.

What happened in the morning was indeed embarrassing, but after the busy day, that little emotion had already faded away, and he wouldn't be reluctant to let it go because of this little thing.

However, looking at the man's handsome face, he thought in a daze that it would not be so easy for him to distance himself from Liu Ying.

Especially, when Liu Ying stretched out his hand to him, he couldn't refuse even more.

Ran Jiqiu looked at the big hand with distinct phalanges, and passed it over.Liu Ying held his hand and turned around behind him, put the other hand on his waist, and in an embracing position, with one arm, he sent him onto the carriage.

Ran Jiqiu got into the car, silently took out a small pouch containing candied winter melon, turned around and handed it over.

Liu Ying looked at it, then shifted her gaze to the young master's face again, but didn't answer.

Ran Jiqiu was surprised, "Candy winter melon, don't you like it?"

Liu Ying hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.Ran Jiqiu glanced at him, turned around and got into the carriage.

After a while, accompanied by the creaking sound of the carriage, Ran Jiqiu's vague voice came from the carriage, "...if you really don't like it, you can tell me."

Liu Ying looked at the car window, the curtain was down, he could only vaguely see the figure of the person sitting upright inside.He subconsciously touched the small pouch in his arms, moved his lips slightly, and said in a low voice: "I like it. I like everything the young master gave me."

It's just that his voice was too low, Ran Jiqiu didn't hear it.

When he got home, Ran Jiqiu went to change his clothes first, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Where did Sanrui go?" He asked casually.

Wu Fu also found it strange that San Rui must be the first to greet the young master when he comes home.

He went out to ask the young servants in the courtyard, Shao Qing's expression changed drastically, and he was about to go back to the house to report, but someone came from the inner courtyard, saying that it was Ran's mother who asked the young master to go to the main courtyard.

Ran Jiqiu naturally responded to her mother's call, straightened his clothes and stepped out the door to go to the main courtyard.Wufu was in a hurry and called out, "Master!"

Ran Jiqiu had already reached the gate of the courtyard, and turned his head when he heard the sound.In front of the people coming from the main courtyard, Wu Fu couldn't tell him apart, so he hurried up and said in a low voice: "...don't make the old lady angry."

Ran Jiqiu was full of doubts.

What's the matter, one or two are so wrong?

When we got to the main courtyard, Ran's mother mentioned that he wanted to marry him, and then Ran Jiqiu connected the things that were wrong, and faintly realized that something was wrong.

"... What do you think?" Finally, he heard Ran's mother ask.

In all fairness, Ran's mother didn't want to marry Ran Jiqiu prematurely. Earlier, her second son was born after passing the examination. If she gets close to women too early and delays her studies, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Therefore, no matter how worried Ran's mother was that the Ran family's offspring were weak, she was not in a hurry to find a wife for her son.

But what Fang said is also reasonable, with the main wife in charge, those crooked vixen will not dare to blatantly seduce the young master and make the family restless.

If Ran Jiqiu wants to marry a wife, Ran's mother will choose for him carefully. Although the youngest son is only a scholar now, he has always been valued by the master of the academy. a pick.

And if the son wants to study and improve, Ran's mother will not force him to get married. She thinks that although she is a bit older, she still has the energy to control the inner courtyard, and with Fang's assistance, no one will dare Make waves.

It depends on how Ran Jiqiu chooses.

Ran Jiqiu lowered his eyes and fiddled with his waist

There is a jade tassel in the middle, and the voice cannot tell whether it is joy or plain, "If there is a suitable family, mother can pay attention to it, but there is no need to rush to get married now. I haven't passed the exam yet, so I still need to study." He raised his eyes and said, "Master said, my article is just not ready for it now, next year in the autumn, maybe I can give it a try."

Ran's mother was refreshed when she heard the words, "Really?" Then she nodded, "If that's the case, don't be too busy with getting married. When you pass the exam, you can mention your family background."

The difference between a young scholar and a young scholar is not so big.

Scholars can only be exempted from taxation and corvee. At most, they can receive a piece of rice every month as a granary student. Juren can be directly awarded an official. Even a small official with a low rank has entered the official career in a serious manner.

It can be said that he is at the starting point of his official career if he wins the examination, especially when Ran Jiqiu is still so young, he can be said to have a bright future.

Unlike Ran's mother, Fang who was standing by had been paying attention to Ran Jiqiu's expression. When he saw Ran Jiqiu mentioning marriage from Ran's mother, his eyes dropped, and his heart skipped a beat.

I'm afraid things will be troublesome.

However, Ran's mother had already made a decision about getting married, so she couldn't say anything more.Sighing secretly, Fang put on a smiling face and said with a smile: "That's right, my uncle is both talented and good-looking. I don't know what kind of lady he will be worthy of in the future."

Ran's mother also nodded slightly, her son was not only good-looking, but also excellent in reading and writing, not because she boasted, even he was not inferior to Wang Sungui's son.

Thinking of this, she thought of her second son who died young, and couldn't help but sigh. At the beginning, Ran Zhonghui was also a teenager who became famous. If he was still there, how enviable his two equally outstanding sons would be.But God is jealous of talents.

Ran's mother looked sleepy, and she didn't even eat a few bites of dinner, so she said she was tired and wanted to rest.

Ran Jiqiu had something on his mind, so he didn't pay attention to it, and turned around to go back to his yard after asking how he was.

After a few steps out of the main courtyard, Fang called to stop him.

Ran Jiqiu watched her approaching, and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you have something to tell me?"

Fang looked at the young man in front of her who she almost grew up with, and was silent for a while.

Ran Jiqiu didn't understand what he meant, "Sister-in-law?"

Fang sighed, and said softly: "That Sanrui next to you spread some bad words indiscriminately, I asked someone to kick him out."

Ran Jiqiu's heart skipped a beat.He was a little uneasy, "What did he... say?"

Fang rolled her eyes, and said after a while, "Today, when my mother mentioned that she wanted to marry you, I actually mentioned it first."

Ran Jiqiu had a faint guess in his heart, and suddenly felt his hands and feet were cold.After a while, he said in a shy voice, "Sister-in-law, I..."

Fang shifted her eyes back to his face, with pity in her eyes, "Qiu'er, I shouldn't have told you this, it's just that my mother is getting old, and your brother has gone, so the sister-in-law sees you do it." I made a mistake, so I have to say a few words.”

She sighed, "It's more important for you to study now, and don't be deceived by those crooked ways. You just think, in the future, when you win the Juren and Jinshi exams, what kind of beautiful wife and concubines do you have? Why are you greedy for the moment in front of you?" Joy? Mother wholeheartedly hopes that you will succeed in the exam, get married and start a career, so you must not go astray because of a momentary thought, and live up to the expectations of the old man!"
