"What kind of person is that boy?"

"I was very calm. I sat for half an hour and my posture had not changed. I only took a sip of tea at the beginning, probably out of politeness, and I never drank it again afterwards... In fact, he only touched the first sip of tea, not as if he was reserved, but more as if he was cautious, deeply thinking, very alert, and even implicit hostility."

"It seems like a smart person, at least a little clever... how old is it?"

"Four years old."

"I remember it should be so big."

"It's just that my expression is too calm, and I always feel it's bigger."

"Just an ordinary person?"

"Yes... the breath is unusual, obviously I haven't even experienced marrow washing. Although I can't see the potential, I am fourteen years old. Even if I start practicing Taoism again, I don't have a good future."

"Even if there is a future, can it be compared with the disciples of the head of the Changsheng Sect?"

"Madam, is that the engagement true?"

"The token is true, and the engagement is naturally true."

"How could the old man... make such a marriage for the lady?"

"If the old man is not dead yet, or you can ask the answer... Open the door and I'll go see him."

Accompanied by a creaking sound, the door slowly opened. The beautiful sunlight shone into the room from outside the courtyard, illuminating all corners, illuminating the lady's bright face and the half of the jade pendant she was holding tightly in her hand. The old lady who had previously talked to her stood in the corner, her whole body was covered in shadows. If she didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find it.

With the help of the old nanny, the lady walked out, walking slowly like the wind blowing on the weak willows. The precious golden hairpin and the ring puppet on her hair made no sound, which seemed a little weird.

The shadows of trees in the courtyard were mottled, and there were more than a dozen big trees that could be hugged by several people in the lawn. There were no servants and maids on both sides of the stone path. There were many people kneeling in the distance. The quiet atmosphere was full of solemn feeling, just like those trees that were straight towards the sky, and like cold weapons displayed everywhere in the flower hall.

The owner of this mansion is Xu Shiji, the God General of the East, who has made great achievements in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The god general governs the mansion as if he is governing the army. The mansion has always been serious and quiet. Because of the incident that happened today, all the maids were driven to the side garden, and the atmosphere here is naturally even more depressing. The spring breeze blowing outside the courtyard wall seemed to be frozen.

Mrs. Xu walked through the courtyard and came to the side hall. She stopped and looked at the young man in the hall with her eyebrows slightly raised.

The young man was wearing an old Taoist dress that was washed until white. His face was tender, his eyebrows were straight, his eyes were bright, and he had an indescribable smell, as if he could see the truth hidden in many things, like a mirror.

The boy had his luggage on his feet. The luggage looked ordinary, but it was sorted out in a very organized manner, and there was no dust on the journey at all. The hat tied on the luggage was wiped cleanly.

It was not these that made Mrs. Xu raise her eyebrows, but the tea on the table was no longer hot. However, the boy still looked calm and could not see any boredom. He had the peace and patience that it was difficult to have at this age.

This is a hard person to deal with.

Fortunately, people like this are often very proud.

...

...

After entering the God General's Mansion, he said a few words to the nanny, and no one paid attention to him. After sitting in the side hall for half an hour, he naturally felt a little bored. However, Chen Changsheng had been used to being deserted since childhood and did not feel that it was difficult to bear it.

While silently passing the time with the content of the sixth volume of the Huating Sutra, he was waiting for the other party to come quickly so that he could return the wedding letter to the other party. After solving this matter, he still had a lot of his own things to do.

He did take only one sip of the tea on the table and then dipped his slightly dry lips, but it was not as cautious or alert as the nanny guessed. Instead, he felt that it was a bit impolite to be a guest at someone else's house if he drank too much tea and wanted to go to the toilet. Moreover, although the tea bowls used in the God General's mansion were all extremely expensive Ru kiln porcelain, he was still not used to drinking water with other people's utensils.

In this regard, he has some cleanliness.

He stood up and saluted the young lady in a gorgeously dressed manner. He guessed that the other party was probably Mrs. Xu from the God General's Mansion. He thought that he could finally solve this problem, so he reached into his arms and prepared to take out the wedding book.

Mrs. Xu reached out and signaled that she was not in a hurry. She sat down slowly on the main seat, took the tea brought by the woman in charge, looked at him and said calmly, "I haven't visited Tianshuling yet? Where is Naihe Bridge? Or go to the Li Palace to see the ivy, the scenery is also excellent."

Chen Changsheng thought that this was a chilling noise. He felt that there was no need for chilling noise, but since it was an elder who spoke, he naturally could not lack etiquette and responded briefly and respectfully: "I haven't seen it yet, I'll go and see it after some days."

Mrs. Xu, holding the bowl-covered hand, stopped in the air, and asked, "So, as soon as you arrive in Kyoto, will you come to the General's Mansion first?"

Chen Changsheng honestly responded: "I dare not delay any delay."

"I see."

The lady raised her head and looked at him coldly, thinking that the destitute boy from a remote village was not attracted by the Kyoto Sun-kyo, and came directly to the mansion to discuss the marriage. She was so eager, which was ridiculous.

Chen Changsheng didn't understand what the four words were like, so he stood up and put his hand in his arms again, preparing to take out the marriage letter and return it to the other party. Since he had made up his mind, he was not going to think about more time.

However, his actions were misunderstood again. The lady looked at him and her expression became even colder, saying, "I will not agree to this marriage. Even if you take out the marriage letter, it will be meaningless."

Chen Changsheng did not expect to hear this sentence and was stunned for a moment.

"The old man was rescued by your master many years ago, and then he decided on this marriage... This seems to be a good story?"

Mrs. Xu looked at him with a cold expression and said, "...but in fact, that is a good story that can only be found in the play. It cannot happen in the real world. Who would believe it except those dementia women?"

Chen Changsheng wanted to explain that his intention was to break off the engagement. However, listening to this condescending and looking at the unconcealed contemptuous and indifferent expression between Mrs. Xu's eyebrows, he found it difficult to speak. At this time, his hand was still in his arms, touching the edge of a slightly hard paper, one piece of paper was a wedding book written by Taizai, and the other piece of paper was written with a girl's birthday.

"The old man passed away four years ago, and this marriage no longer exists."

Mrs. Xu looked at the boy in front of her and continued, "I know you are a smart person, so we should talk like a smart person. What you need to consider now is not to continue this marriage, but to think carefully about what kind of compensation can be obtained. What do you think of my proposal?"

Chen Changsheng took his hand out of his arms, did not hold the wedding book, and hung it to his waist: he asked, "Can I ask why?"

"Why? This is not a question that smart people should ask."

Mrs. Xu looked at him with expressionless expression: "Because your teacher has good medical skills, he is still just an ordinary Taoist, and I am the God General's Mansion, because you are just a poor boy who can only afford the old Taoist clothes, and my daughter is the lady of the God General's Mansion, because you are an ordinary person, and the God General's Mansion should not be a place where ordinary people can come in. Is my explanation clear enough?"

Chen Changsheng clenched his hands slightly, but his voice did not tremble at all: "It's very clear."

Mrs. Xu looked at this childish face and decided to put some pressure on him. She knew very well what the smart and proud boy could not bear the most. Later, he would definitely take the initiative to break the engagement.

She put the tea bowl on the desk, stood up, and said, "The cup of tea on your desk is the butterfly tea before the Ming Dynasty. Only five taels of silver can buy one tael. This tea bowl comes from Ru kiln, which is even more expensive than gold. If the tea is cold, you don't drink it, which means you have no life to drink this cup of tea. You are just grass roots in the mud. You are not porcelain, but rubble. Want to change your life by clinging to my God General's Mansion? Sorry, this may make you happy, but it makes me very unhappy."

The lady's voice was very calm, she did not deliberately be arrogant, but she pressed the person to the ground. She did not deliberately condescend, but she seemed to look at an ant on the ground from the sky.

All these emotions were accurately conveyed to Chen Changsheng.

This is a naked humiliation, especially the life of changing the house to one's own life by clinging to the gods. It is an unacceptable accusation for any proud young man. In order to be able to hold his head up and leave proudly, many people will probably choose to argue in anger, then take out the wedding book and tear it in half, throw it in front of his wife, and even spit it a few more spits.

And this is exactly the picture Mrs. Xu wants to see. If it weren't for the marriage book being too special and she didn't have a good method, why would she have to spend all her energy like Jin Yue?

The side hall was quiet and there was no sound.

She looked at Chen Changsheng coldly, waiting for the boy's anger.

However, the development of things was completely beyond his expectations.

Chen Changsheng looked at Mrs. Xu and said calmly: "Actually, you misunderstood. This time I came to the God General's Mansion to return the marriage letter to the mansion. I was here to break the engagement."

The whole house was quiet.

The wind came from the garden, and the old bamboo branches blew under the corridor slammed.

The lady was slightly surprised and asked, "Do you say it again?"

She didn't notice that her voice was a little nervous and relaxed, and it was hard to imagine because of the accident. Whether the boy was unwilling to lose face, deliberately saying this, or really coming to break the engagement, she wanted to see it.

Chen Changsheng looked at her and said seriously: "Actually... I'm here to break the engagement."

In the corner of the hall, the face of the nanny who seemed to have disappeared for a long time changed.

Mrs. Xu's expression remained unchanged, but her palm fell gently on her chest.

At this moment, the entire God General's Mansion seemed to have become much lighter.

Chen Changsheng's expression suddenly became serious.

He said, "But now... I've changed my mind."

The spring breeze in the mansion became colder again, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing again. In the dark corner of the side hall, the wrinkles on the nanny's face were as deep as countless gullies, and were suddenly washed away by the flood.

Mrs. Xu suddenly felt that she had done something wrong.

She forcibly suppressed the uneasiness that came from inexplicably, and made her voice look gentle as much as possible, and said, "Since you have figured it out, why bother to say such things in anger? It's better..."

However, she was shocked to find that the young man had no intention of continuing to listen to her.
