011 [My nephew is so smart, I am speechless](1/2)

As the Tongzong of Luoyang, Huo Shiyuan's mansion is in the most prosperous center of Luoyang City.

This place is basically home with big families. Looking around, there are many rich doors and high walls.

When Nie Qingyun came to Huo's house in a carriage, Huo's housekeeper had already quickly informed the master Huo Shiyuan.

Outside Huo House, although Gu Baolun had visited the Huo family many times, he was still shocked by the grand presence of the Huo family.

There is a red gate more than ten feet wide, two majestic stone lions, and two golden characters written on a horizontal plaque--Huo Mansion.

Speaking of Gu Baolun's father Gu Tieniu is a well-known figure in Luoyang, but the Gu family's mansion is not as big as the Huo family.

When the Gu family had money, they all struggled with luxury carriages. The food, clothing and use of food, clothing, and living places were not as good as those of the Huo family.

Gu Baolun was secretly shocked and thought to himself that he would ask his father to spend more money in the place where he lives. Compared with the Huo family, the place where he lives is simply a mouse nest.

Huo Qingying's beautiful eyes flowed and she glanced at Nie Qingyun inadvertently.

In her opinion, Nie Qingyun's clothes were shabby and his family must be poor. A magnificent building like this would definitely shock him and make him feel ashamed. Then he felt that he was not worthy of him. Maybe he would take the initiative to terminate the engagement without having to speak by himself.

But what surprised Huo Qingying was that Nie Qingyun was indifferent to everything in front of him, with a calm expression and a natural expression.

Huo Qingying said without saying a word: "Nie Qingyun, is our family still acceptable?"

"Yeah, that's not bad." This is Nie Qingyun's answer.

"What does it mean not bad?" Huo Qingying was a little angry and said to herself, "What world did you see when you were poor scholars? How dare you evaluate my place like this! You know, this was once the Luoyang Palace, a mansion that my father had entrusted his connections and spent a lot of money to buy!"

Before Huo Qingying's attack was over, Nie Qingyun's next sentence almost made her fall off her chin, "When it's almost time, I'll find such a mansion, which is big enough to live comfortably!"

Huo Qingying: “…?!”

I looked at the poor and sour boy in front of me like an idiot, and didn't know what to say.

But Gu Baolun couldn't help but smile and said, "Nie Qingyun, you really know how to speak loudly! Do you know where this place is? It used to be the royal palace! You can't buy it even if you spend money!"

"Oh, is that?" Nie Qingyun said lightly, "Since you can't buy it, then build one by yourself!"

Gu Baolun: “…?!”

He also had a dog-like expression on his face.

Nie Qingyun just smiled slightly at the surprise of the two.

In fact, what he said just now is the truth, whether it is the fairyland mansion in his previous life or the skyscrapers when he lived on Earth, there are more magnificent and beautiful houses than such magnificent and beautiful houses.

Especially when Nie Qingyun was the Emperor Qingtian, he lived in the most famous "Xiaoyao Immortal Palace" in the fairy world. The place was not only as big as one country, but also tens of thousands of servants serving him. The buildings of the fairy palace were even more luxurious, enough to make these mortals blind.

Just when the atmosphere is a bit awkward--

Fortunately, the housekeeper Lao Huang ran over at this time and reported: "Mr. Huo wants to see Mr. Nie!"

Huo Qingying immediately became nervous. She knew her father's personality and would rather break than bend. She was just thinking about it. If Nie Qingyun was taken aback by him this time, then her marriage with Nie Qingyun might be...

Gu Baolun also became nervous. He thought the same as Huo Qingying. He must not let Huo Shiyuan fall in love with this Nie Qianshao! He must not!

...

Spacious and bright living room---

Simple, elegant, with almost no decoration, just a few pots of green Clivia in the corner slightly embellish this monotonous place.

Huo Shiyuan was wearing a casual suit and sat upright on the Taishi chair.

As the chief magistrate of Luoyang Prefecture, Huo Shiyuan had been struggling in his career for fifteen or sixteen years. With his intelligence, he could only get to his current position step by step.

After experiencing strong storms, he naturally had a demeanor of being arrogant without anger.

Sitting on the left side of Huo Shiyuan was his wife Zhou.

The Zhou family was born in a famous family. Although they were over thirty years old, they still had charm. In addition, they were pampered and looked younger.

now---

Huo Shiyuan and his wife Zhou were carefully looking at Nie Qingyun standing in front of them.

Nie Qingyun was neither humble nor arrogant. After bowing and bowing, he stood up straight, his eyes were not squinting, and his expression was calm and gentle.

Gu Baolun also stood in front of the two adults.

He sweated on his forehead, didn't even dare to breathe, and even felt his calves were weak.

Speaking of which, Gu Baolun was also afraid of his father, but even if he was afraid, he did not have the real sense of fear in front of him.

Huo Qingying stood calmly beside her parents, catching the expressions of Gu Baolun and Nie Qingyun.

In her opinion, Nie Qingyun's calm expression was definitely pretending. How could a young man who came out of a small place who had never seen any world be so calm in front of the dignified magistrate?!

If you don’t talk about anything else, just look at Gu Baolun’s appearance in front of you to know how great his father is.

"Nie Qingyun, I will expose you sooner or later!" Huo Qingying's lips slightly curled, and she smiled at Nie Qingyun without leaving any trace.

At this moment, Zhou also looked at Nie Qingyun very disliked.

The Zhou family was born into a wealthy family, so of course they looked down on small families like Nie Qingyun.

For her, her daughter is as beautiful as a flower and so talented, she certainly needs to find a good son-in-law who can be best at the same time, and at least she must be of equal status.

But Nie Qingyun, although his parents were both from large families, they were expelled from the walls. To put it bluntly, they were people without status. Now they even farmed in Nanyang County to make a living. Such people are just untouchables.

Of course, the Zhou family was born in a wealthy family and had studied. They also knew what "don't bully young people and are poor" means.

However, no matter how you look at Nie Qingyun, he doesn't look like a person who can soar into the sky in the future.

He also looks ordinary, has a little dark skin and a little pretty facial features. That's all, compared with those handsome boys in Luoyang City who are dressed in a bright clothes and angry horses, it is simply apart from those handsome boys.

The more I looked at Nie Qingyun, the more I felt the annoying Zhou family.

"How can such a person be a light husband? I believe that Qingyan has such a high vision and will not like him! On the other hand, if Qingyan is really obsessed with it, I have a way to destroy this marriage!"

As the head of the family, Huo Shiyuan didn't know his wife and daughter's respective ideas.

He observed Nie Qingyun and felt that although this young man was not good-looking, he was very steady and somewhat advantageous.

"How are your parents in good health?"

"Very good, thank you Uncle Huo for your concern."

"I haven't seen them for more than ten years. The last time I met was when you were two years old. It was because you happened to have bean rash. Your parents came from all over Luoyang to seek medical treatment..." Huo Shiyuan sighed, "You were still young at that time, of course you didn't remember this, and Qingying happened to be born that year..."

"Master, many years have passed, what do you mention? Since Qingyun is here today, you should be happy!" Zhou was afraid that Huo Shiyuan would mention the matter of having a baby marriage that year, so he quickly interrupted.

Huo Shiyuan smiled "haha": "You are right! I should be happy today with Nephew Nie Xian coming!"

After saying that, Huo Shiyuan asked Nie Qingyun not to stand anymore, find a seat to sit down, and then asked the servant to serve tea and snacks. In a very warm atmosphere, he started chatting about homework.

Gu Baolun was still standing there. Seeing Huo Shiyuan not speaking, he didn't know whether he should continue standing or find a seat to sit down.

Fortunately, Zhou was concerned about him, so Gu Baolun found a seat next to Nie Qingyun.

Huo Shiyuan asked about the general situation at Nie Qingyun's family, and in particular asked about Nie Qingyun's father Nie Huaian's current situation.

When he learned that Nie Huaian and his wife Xiao Yuping and his wife Xiao Yuping made a living in Nanyang County, Huo Shiyuan sighed and said that Nie Huaian was born with great talent, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. If he had not left the Nie family at the beginning, let alone the small Nanyang County, even the capital might not be able to withstand his sleeping dragon.

Next to him, Zhou saw that her husband praised Nie Huaian as if there was nothing in the world, so he contempt in his heart, saying, if he was so powerful, he would not have farmed for the rest of his life and let his son run far away to fight Qiufeng!

After Huo Shiyuan praised his old friend Nie Huaian, he suddenly changed the topic and asked Nie Qingyun how his current homework is, and where does he have unique experience in the classics, history, and collections of classics, history, and literature?

Nie Qingyun said that he worked behind closed doors and learned a lot of things from his father, and he had never been to the academy well. This time he came to Luoyang to study in "Bailu Academy".

When Nie Qingyun wanted to enter the "White Deer Academy", the room suddenly became quiet--it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

The four of them, including Huo Shiyuan, looked at Nie Qingyun together with different expressions.

Huo Qingying and Gu Baolun were surprised. They did not expect Nie Qingyun to have such great ambitions to enter Bailu Academy and be classmates with them.

Huo Qingying even wondered whether Nie Qingyun wanted to take the opportunity to pursue him? After all, it was so good to be close to the water.

Gu Baolun also had this idea, thinking that Nie Qingyun was a sinister person. He clearly had other intentions towards Huo Qingying and pretended to be indifferent. He was really despicable!

Huo Shiyuan and Zhou had different ideas.

In Zhou's opinion, Nie Qingyun's idea was simply ignorant of the vastness of the world!

Where is Bailu Academy?

One of the four major academies of the Great Qi State!

Those who can enter such a higher education institution are either children of kings, princes, generals, officials, or children of wealthy families in the world. No matter how good they are, they are talented men who become famous at a young age, or successful disciples recommended by contemporary scholars.

No matter how you look at Nie Qingyun, these conditions are not related to them!

"Just like this, you still want to enter Bailu Academy? Dream!" Zhou secretly despised Nie Qingyun, who was arrogant.

Huo Shiyuan also felt that Nie Qingyun was not qualified.

Looking horizontally and vertically, Nie Qingyun is too ordinary, even so ordinary!

However, Huo Shiyuan asked tentatively, "Does anyone recommend it?"

"No!" Nie Qingyun answered very simply.

"Your ranking in the provincial examination is..."

"More than one hundred."
