Zhang Fangyuan was full of anger, and before he attacked, 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 suddenly...disappeared.

    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’s really rare to be a scholar. My mother-in-law told me to come with He ge’er to look at your rankings for his second sister, now we can go back and report the good news, after talking about it, I have to call Fei Xiucai brother-in-law."

    Fei Lian was already frozen in place by Xu He's movements, and then hearing Zhang Fangyuan's words, he automatically ignored the congratulations and caught the word brother-in-law.

    He looked panic-stricken, and it took him a long time to open his eyes and say: "You..."

    "Ah yes, we are engaged, Fei Xiucai didn't know since you had exam, right? We’re going to get married on 19th. Then my brother-in-law will come too."

Fei Lian felt breathless in his chest when Zhang Fangyuan called him brother-in-law. Looking at Xu He, he murmured: "Why, why are you with him... is it arranged by your family?

    "I came to the door to talk about marriage." 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 had keen sense of smell, especially when meeting a rival in love, it was like a woman's ability to discern a woman's artificiality 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 found it interesting.

    Zhang Fangyuan looked at the scholar playfully: "Fei Lian, you are surprised that He ge’er is engaged, is it because you like He ge’er?"

    Facing this abrupt question, Fei Lian visibly shook his hand, he didn't know what to do to refute, admitted that it was not true, and it was not true if you didn’t admit it, scholars were thin-skinned, and they were the first to blush.

    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 like Xu Shaochun, and you fell in love with He ge’er. Xiucai is going against the wishes of his parents, or is he giving up what he thinks? Or It’s said that since now he is a scholar, has fame and someone who is beyond the reach of farmers and butchers like us, do you want both?"


    His thoughts were spread to the surface, and Fei Lian blushed to the root of his neck.

    Seeing this, Xu He was not happy with Fei Lian's favor, but he felt a fire in his heart.

    The family background of the Fei family was not bad, and there was only Fei Lian, the only son, who was the only son. 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, so what could he do? He always dreamed, 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 neither, or you only want He ge’er. Today, as long as you can ignore your family's opposition and only choose He ge’er, I can give you a fair chance to compete."

    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 He ge’er to respond. His eyes kept flickering, and after a long while: "Since entering the academy, the master has taught that filial piety is the most important thing. Mother takes a fancy to Shaochun...I..."

    "Enough, if you can't do it, you can't do it, no matter how much you talk, it's just for your own peace of mind." Seeing him like this, Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help being a little disappointed, and interrupted him directly.

    His voice became cold: "Your Fei family wants Xu Shaochun to show off, but also wants He ge’er. Is it possible for your Fei family to take advantage of all the benefits in the world?"

    "I gave you a chance, but you don't have the guts, then do it for 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 a villain with a big knife, I will hit you! "

    After speaking, without waiting for anyone to talk, Zhang Fangyuan took Xu He and left, 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 courage to agree, then what do you want to do? Come to our house to 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, so I'll grab you! Anyway, in the eyes of everyone, I'm unreasonable."

    Xu He pursed his lips: "You're an asshole."

    "Yes.” Zhang Fangyuan responded, he was just a jerk.

    Zhang Fangyuan tentatively touched the back of Xu He's hand again. Xu He didn't take his hand again, but he didn't refuse him either. He frowned slightly, and the two walked side by side again.

    "I honestly didn't expect he wants to marry me... No, it's not marrying, it's better to want me to go to the Fei family as a slave and a maid."

    Xu He was a little dazed walking on the street, but he was not afraid of being bumped, with Zhang Fangyuan holding 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 his mother means. There is nothing wrong with being filial in itself, but a man who has always obeyed his parents and has no independent opinions is not acceptable."

    Xu He looked at his toes, and he knew that Zhang Fangyuan was right.

    "There are two clothes, one is gorgeous and decent, but it’s thin and not warm; the other is rustic and ugly, but it’s thick and warm. May I ask, which one you will choose? Fei Lian is a scholar and he can read, writing and planning, he wants to choose to wear warm clothes on the inside and gorgeous clothes on the outside."

    “With such a decent appearance, he wouldn’t be cold” Xu He couldn't help thinking, did he make a mistake in choosing this way? In order to be considerate of himself, it was actually not a big mistake.

    Zhang Fangyuan felt distressed when he heard it: " He ge’er, it's not a good thing for me that he likes you, but it just shows someone see your goodness, and you are no worse than your second sister. It's just that he himself is more important to him."

    "Really?"

    "Yes. In my eyes, you are better than anyone else."

    Seeing that the man stopped talking again, Zhang Fangyuan shook his hand: "Huh?"

    "Okay. "

    Zhang Fangyuan tightened his hand.

    "Stop thinking about that grandson. If you think about him again, I'm going to beat him!"
