Chapter 114 Paving the Road
The night is deep.
Hu Yaozu was so busy that his feet never touched the ground.
After leaving the inn, he had to send Master Chu back first.
Master Chu waved his hand: "No, I told you it's not going to go your way, so why bother walking all night?"
Hu Yaozu smiled, his attitude was neither humble nor humble, but also thoughtful and respectful.
"It's dark, how can we rest assured if the students don't send you back."
Master Chu stroked his beard and didn't refuse to say goodbye. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes. .
There are many people on the street. There is no curfew at the gate of Ze County these days, making it easier for people who report to the official to leave at will.
When the two of them left the main road, there were fewer people around.
Looking ahead is the Chu family.
Master Chu glanced at the sky and said, "When this matter is over, come home to propose marriage."
Hu Yaozu's footsteps paused, and the hands under his sleeves tightened again and again.
The surroundings were dim and he could barely see the road by the moonlight. Master Chu failed to notice anything unusual about him.
“There are noble people praising you today. If your knowledge is tested later, don’t panic.”
Leaving a good impression is better than anything else.
"I will do my best to pave the way for you."
"Your qualifications are here. When the township has passed the test, I will shamelessly go to Mr. Zhao in the county and let him Accept you. You will benefit more from his teachings."
Master Zhao...
Hu Yaozu's breathing became shallow.
Master Zhao was very knowledgeable and taught many scholars in his early years!
How many scholars want to study under him.
After Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a daughter, she was afraid that she would be too busy to spend time with her wife and daughter, and she was also afraid that she would not have enough energy to delay her students. Although she went to the college to teach as usual in the past few years, she did not take any students by her side. Personal guidance.
This makes many readers sigh and lament.
If he could get some advice from Master Zhao...
How could he not know what Master Chu was thinking about when he worked so hard for him?
Hu Yaozu smiled at Master Chu: "Student, you have troubled yourself."
This is the answer.
Sure enough, Master Chu laughed with satisfaction: "We will be one family in the future, let alone two families."
There were already people waiting eagerly at the door of Chu's house.
It is Chu Yun, the daughter of the Chu family.
She came out to pick up her father, and she also wanted to see Hu Yaozu's daughter.
She held the lamp and heard this conversation from a distance, and immediately blushed.
Chu Yun was very happy.
Hu Yaozu is handsome, gentle and caring. I have been studying with my father for these years, and I am very polite and courteous. After meeting her, I am also very considerate and polite.
She is truly lucky to be able to marry such a person.
“Dad.”
She walked over in small steps and supported Master Chu, not daring to look at Hu Yaozu beside her.
Master Chu smiled: "Did you hear everything?"
Seeing that Chu Yun was embarrassed to speak, he smiled and patted his daughter's hand.
"Okay, you talk to Yaozu, and dad will go find your mother."
He intended for the two of them to get along.
Although it was getting late, Master Chu was very relieved about the students he taught. I wish these two children had a deep relationship.
Although the Hu family is in the countryside, what he values is Hu Yaozu.
Given time, this boy will definitely achieve something. If he doesn’t make a decision early, others will take the lead.
After Master Chu left, Chu Yun became even more embarrassed. My whole body felt hot. Who knew that Hu Yaozu's eyes were cold and cold, and he didn't have any affection for her.
She handed the lamp in her hand towards Hu Yaozu.
"It's getting late. You should go back. We'll talk about things between you and me later... in the future. My father has fallen asleep when he comes back these days. It shows that you are also very tired. The lantern will give you light."
Her voice is delicate and shy.
Hu Yaozu was thinking of another woman.
He had never heard Yu Tingwan speak to him in such a tone.
Yu Tingwan would only reject him thousands of miles away.
“Brother Hu.”
Unable to respond, Chu Yun called out tentatively.
Hu Yaozu came to his senses and went to pick it up with a warm voice: "Thank you." Now that he had made a decision, he had to show his attitude.
He took a deep breath and took out the finely crafted wooden hairpin from his arms.
He originally bought it for Yu Tingwan.
His body temperature was still on it.
At this moment, I was offered it by his gentle and courteous hands.
"This thing is not worth a lot of money, but it is my heart. I hope the girl will not dislike it."
Yes, it is not valuable.
He will buy better things for Wanmei in the future.
Chu Yun’s heart was pounding.
Since he and his father have made a verbal agreement, this is a token of love.
Hu Yaozu's thoughtfulness was engraved in his bones. Not to mention deceiving others, he could even deceive himself.
The night was cold, but his voice was surprisingly gentle.
"It's cold outside. Mother Yun, please go back. I'll leave when I see you enter the house."
He watched Chu Yun enter the door, and then watched the door of Chu's house close. When he turned around, The smile at the corner of his mouth suddenly disappeared.
Master Chu had no children, so paving the way for him was not for selfish reasons.
He wanted to climb up.
He and Master Chu were just using each other to get what they needed.
As for Chu Yun.
She is virtuous and can tolerate my younger sister in the future.
Hu Yaozu took one step at a time and looked at three steps, thinking that everything was under his control.
When he returned to the inn, he couldn't hide the fatigue on his face and just wanted to have a good rest.
But there was no one in the guest room. Hu Yaozu frowned, strode out, went down the stairs, and headed towards the shopkeeper who was making calculations at the counter.
"Shopkeeper, have you seen my brother and father."
The shopkeeper raised his head and glanced at the scholar.
“Don’t you know?”
"Your father and brother came back from outside in the evening. Their faces were not very good. They hurriedly got into the carriage and left."
The shopkeeper: "They didn't ask me to leave a message. I didn't ask any more questions."
What can happen? So much so that he went back early without saying hello?
Didn’t you agree to wait until he finished his work before leaving?
Hu Yaozu was inexplicably uneasy.
The waiter who was cleaning the table dropped what he was doing when he heard this.
"I've probably gone back to my hometown."
A group of businessmen came in the evening and ordered a table of delicious dishes. They thought the wine in the inn was not strong enough, so the waiter got the reward and went to buy some in a restaurant. . I happened to bump into the Hu family and his son and Widow Shi.
After all, it was a scandal, the waiter put it tactfully.
"I heard that your sister-in-law gave birth, the house is in chaos, and the child... is not in a good condition."
Hu Yaozu pursed his lips.
My mother is not satisfied with her sister-in-law, but she has always been looking forward to a grandson. I'm just afraid that if my wish fails, my mother will be unhappy and something will happen.
He suddenly felt ashamed.
My brother knows how much he cares about this child. Staying in town was also for him.
If something happened to the child, he would be ashamed.
Not to mention anything else, if word spread about his harsh treatment of his granddaughter, the Hu family would be disgraced, and it would also have an impact on his reputation.
Seeing that he looked bad, the waiter quickly picked up something more festive to try to lighten the atmosphere.
After all, he often heard the Hu brothers mention their cousin at home.
The waiter smiled and said: "Your cousin is getting married!"
"It's a pity that the road is closed, otherwise you can go back and have a wedding drink."
"Congratulations to Mr. Hu, little one."
Hu Yaozu's face suddenly sank. The emotions are intense and terrifying.
The lamp in his hand fell and was trampled mercilessly by his foot.
Hu Yaozu approached the waiter, his voice trembling.
“What did you say?”
