There are many treasures in this country

"congratulations."

"Thank you, General."

The two stood silently, both at a loss for words.

Shen Yan rationalized his mind, slowed down his voice and said, "I was the one who spoke too aggressively that day, and I apologize to you."

"No need—" Xiao Suo had just uttered the words, but he was interrupted by him: "Listen to me. What I mean is, the words that day were all angry words, so you can't count them. Don't take it to heart."

"Okay." Xiao Suo stood with his hands down, looking at him without blinking or avoiding.

"Then..." Uncharacteristically, Shen Yan asked cautiously: "Since you don't take those silly words to heart, can you just pretend that those things never happened before? I mean, I thought about it—Ouyang Xu, If you really like him... I can treat him as invisible and ignorant."

Xiao Suo was taken aback, and said coldly: "I don't like you having no bottom line."

"Then what should I do so that you can like it?" Shen Yan lowered his head and asked him with the utmost humility.

"I don't like Ouyang Xu," Xiao Suo said, "I don't like you either. I'm with you just because... why not? But it's boring now, I don't want to do that again. Besides..." He shook his hands The red ribbon worn by Li Zhuangyuan, "I don't need that anymore."

Shen Yan's expression darkened, and he said: "You need it. You will be an official in the future, and no one in the court will be in trouble. I can help you, I will definitely help you, you need me. I don't care about anything else, as long as you are willing, We can go on as before. You come—"

"General," Xiao Suo cut off the second half of his sentence, sighed, and said slowly, "We will never be the same again."

Shen Yan was dizzy, put his hand on the wall, put his forehead on his hand, slowly turned his head, and asked him with red eyes: "Then what do you want? As long as I have it, I will give it to you; if I don't, I swear I will find it for you!"

"You have." Xiao Suo nodded, "I want you to stay away from me, don't block my way."

Shen Yan staggered a few steps, remained silent for a while, and finally turned sideways to get out of the way.

Xiao Suo didn't know how to walk home, but just walking, the door appeared in front of him.Ouyang Xu came back first, Babao didn't see Xiao Suo, he was in a hurry to find his son, when he heard the knock on the door, he pulled it away and said, "Master Zhuangyuan is back!"

The number one scholar couldn't even smile, he just said, "Go inside."

"Young Master, why are you crying?" Ba Bao couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw his family's new No.

"Why did you ever cry?" Xiao Suo wiped his face, walked in, and said: "It's just that I think of my parents, and I can't restrain myself for a while. Don't make any noise, it's too embarrassing."

Ba Bao smiled and said, "My lord is also afraid of losing face, I thought we were the only ones who were afraid!"

Xiao Suo pulled out a wry smile: "Let's go eat."

He experienced too many things today, his mood was ups and downs, and seeing Shen Yan, who was usually proud, humiliating and begging for perfection, his heart was abnormally irritable, sour and astringent, and he had no appetite at all.

He was the number one scholar in high school, and Ouyang Xu was also among the top two. It was such a happy event, Shan Gu had already cooked a large table of dishes, and wanted to congratulate them.

Xiao Suo had no choice but to have a drink with him, and heard Shan Gu laughing and saying: "Today, when we were parading the streets, everyone was outside to join in the fun. When I saw you two, I was so happy that I couldn't care about anything else, so I pointed to the team and said, 'That's it. The two belong to our family', who knows that no one believes it! This is a joke, and the old face in this life is completely humiliated!."

"Auntie is right." Ouyang Xu leaned forward and rubbed Aunt Shan's shoulders in every possible way, "Aren't we two from your family, there is no joke, there is nothing ridiculous about it!"

Xiao Suo also echoed at the side, really like two sons Sapo rolling around in front of their mother.

The next day there was a letter from him at the letter bureau. When Babao brought it, Xiao Suo hadn't realized it yet—he had never had a letter, any letter.He took it over and saw that it was his uncle and aunt who had never had any contact with him, and asked him to go to his home to discuss matters.

His aunt was married to a family named Zhou in Anle County on the outskirts of Beijing, thousands of rivers and mountains away from Zhuoyang, and she had never been home to see her.Before his mother's funeral, Shen Yan ordered someone to send an obituary to his aunt, but he never received a reply. I don't know if he would suddenly come to him today.

Xiao Suo returned the carriage and the gifts from Shen Yan - except for the dagger and the Pearl King - back together.Now, if you want to go out, you still need to buy a horse.

He and Babao spent half a day in the horse dealership, looking at everything from the good horses of thousands of miles to the old steeds of Futing. In the end, he decided to buy a donkey to save money.

The boss greeted him with a smile at first, and introduced the horses to him courteously. Later, he became impatient. When he heard that he wanted to buy a donkey, he complained very much. He snorted and pointed to a narrow room across the street. The shop said: "There are donkeys there, no money, what are you looking for here!"

Just as Babao was going to argue with him, Xiao Suo patted him on the shoulder and said: "Forget it, let's go to the opposite side." Then he said to the boss: "Trouble shopkeeper, I'm sorry, Wansheng will leave now."

When Babao came out, Babao was still angry: "Young master is too sexual, so weak, can't be bullied by others!"

Xiao Suo looked calm, and said in a gentle voice: "It's a trivial matter, it's not a big deal, and it's not a matter of right and wrong. When you go out, take a little more leisure, and you'll save trouble. Do you remember the book I taught you to memorize the day before yesterday?" To be humiliated, to rise up with a sword, to stand up and fight, this is not enough to be brave. The so-called great brave in ancient times will not be surprised when he comes suddenly, and he will not be angry when he is attacked for no reason. This is because the person he holds hostage is very big, and his ambition is very far away. 'There is a house of gold in the book, you have to write it down carefully so that you can apply what you have learned."

Babao drooped his head and said sullenly: "Yes."

Xiao Suo finally bought a little black donkey with long eyelashes, which looks very docile and much smaller than a horse, which is reassuring.

The boss was born with a glib tongue and a mouth full of lotus. He praised the donkey as unique in the world and unparalleled in the world. Zhang Guolao.

Babao is a street gangster, so he didn't believe this kind of rhetoric. After arguing with him for a long time, he finally bought it at a discount.The boss took advantage of the situation to sell donkey-pulled carts, and Xiao Suo softened his heart, so he gave him some more money to buy them.

Who would have thought that this rare and rare animal would become evil within two miles of leaving the gate of Beijing, screaming "Hm Chi Hm Chi" and refusing to move from its nest.Babao tried his best but couldn't pull Wensi, so he was so angry that he just swung his whip on its buttocks.

Not only did it not go, but it took two steps backwards.

Xiao Suo thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that when Shen Yan encouraged him to learn riding skills years ago, he used to tease the evil donkey for not going away and hitting it backwards. His heart felt bitter, his eyes were sour, and he almost never shed tears.

The scholar has already ridden the donkey, how is the general?

He hurriedly withdrew his thoughts, and took out a bag of beans roasted by Shan Gu from his bosom and gave it to it.After the little donkey ate it, he rested for half a day before finally being willing to set off.

Babao was driving the car in front, and Xiao Suo sat in the back basking in the sun.Asking for directions all the way, when we reached Anle County, it was already sunset and twilight.

It is also prosperous here, with lively streets and neat houses.After all, Babao was young, stretching his neck to look around.Xiao Suo didn't have any fresh thoughts, asked some passers-by, and went straight to his aunt's house.

When I arrived at Zhou's residence, a middle-aged woman in her 50s and [-]s came out of the main hall with a handsome boy, and she only said, "Oh, this is a unique treasure! When I saw you at that time, you only knew It’s so tall.” As he spoke, he gestured to his knee, then pointed to the little boy beside him and said, “It’s not as tall as Rong’er is now! In a blink of an eye, I’ve grown so big, I can’t recognize it. Come in, come in, Show my aunt a good look, what a handsome boy!"

Xiao Suo hurriedly saluted and introduced Babao to her.

His aunt ignored her, just nodded, and said, "You are such a poor child, and your mother has passed away. I have seen all your letters, but you also know that as a woman, it is not good to go out casually. So I couldn't send my sister-in-law, I'm really ashamed."

"What did my aunt say? Even if my aunt wants to come, she would not dare to work." Xiao Suo said lightly. "My aunt called my nephew here today, what's the matter?"

His aunt narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "But, after talking for a long time, I forgot the serious words. My aunt was very happy when she heard that you won the first prize. I called you here to congratulate you, and you didn't As a parent, who else can do this without us? Secondly, I have something good to tell you."

Xiao Suo didn't understand, and said, "My nephew doesn't dare to take my aunt's words. I don't know what kind of good words it is?"

"How old are you now?" His aunt asked without answering, "Is this lifelong event over?"

"Nephew 24, hasn't married a wife yet." Xiao Suo shook his head, listening to what she said, he seemed to want to marry him.

Sure enough, his aunt took his hand and talked at length about the benefits of starting a family early, and said: "Now, I have a daughter who is good enough for you. The child was born gentle and generous, not to mention her appearance. I am not the mother. Boasting, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a better one. I see in my heart that you two are both talented and beautiful, and they are a perfect match. Now that I have said that I will be your daughter-in-law, do you like it or not?"

Xiao Suo was so frightened that he withdrew his hand quickly, while apologizing, he said that he had already made a marriage agreement, and he refused to let go of saying yes no matter what.

Seeing this situation, his aunt couldn't ask any more questions, but said: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it later. Since I came today, there is no reason to leave in a hurry. I'd better go after dinner. Your uncle is not at home today." , just the two of us eating."

Xiao Suo hurriedly waved his hands: "Auntie is going to have dinner, my nephew has something to do in Beijing, so I must not delay, so I have to leave first, please forgive my aunt." After saying that, he called Babao, said goodbye again, and drove away in a hurry I went in a donkey cart.

It turned out that it was not for anything else, but to recruit him to be his son-in-law.

The world is full of illusions
