Chapter 2: I changed my mind

"What kind of person is that boy?"
"It's very calm. I haven't changed my posture after sitting for half an hour. I only took a sip of tea at the beginning. It should be out of politeness, and I haven't had any sip afterwards... In fact, the first sip of tea He also only touched his lips, not like being cautious, but more like being cautious, with a deep mind, a strong sense of alertness, and even hostility."
"It seems to be a smart person, at least a little smart...how old?"
"Fourteen."
"I remember it should be so big."
"It's just that the expression is too calm, and it always feels bigger."
"Just an ordinary person?"
"Yes... the breath is ordinary, obviously there is no experience even washing the marrow. Although I can't see the potential, but I am already 14 years old, even if I start the monastery again, there is no good future."
"Even if there is a future, can it be compared with the disciples of Changshengzong?"
"Ma'am, is that marriage contract true?"
"The token is true, so is the marriage contract."
"How could the old lady... order such a family for the young lady?"
"If the old lady is not dead, or you can ask the answer... open the door, I will meet him."
With a squeak, the door opened slowly. The beautiful sunlight sprinkled into the room from outside the courtyard, illuminating all the corners, illuminating the bright face of the lady and the half jade clasp tightly held in her hand. The old grandmother who had spoken to her before stood in the corner, her whole body was covered by shadows. If you don't look carefully, it's even hard to find.
With the help of the old grandma, the lady walked outdoors, walking slowly like a willow, and the precious hairpin with her hair and the ring on her body did not make any sound, which seemed a bit weird.
There are mottled trees in the courtyard, and there are more than ten large trees surrounded by the lawn. There are no servant maidservants on both sides of the stone path. In the distance, many people can be seen kneeling, and the silent atmosphere is full of killings. It feels like the trees standing upright towards the sky, like the cold weapons displayed in the flower hall.
The owner of this mansion is Xu Shiji, the imperial master general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. God ruled the government like an army, and the government has always been serious and quiet. Because of what happened today, all the servants were rushed to the partial garden. The atmosphere here is naturally more suppressed. The spring breeze blowing outside the courtyard walls seems to be like It must be frozen in general.
Mrs. Xu walked across the courtyard and came to the side hall, stopped and looked at the teenager in the hall, her brows raised slightly.
The teenager wore an old coat that was washed whitish, with a childish look, straight eyebrows, bright eyes, and an unspeakable taste, as if he could see the hidden truth in many things, like a mirror.
The baggage was lying on the feet of the teenager. The baggage looked very ordinary, but it was very organized, and there was no wind and dust on the journey at all. The hat attached to the baggage was wiped clean.
It was not these that made Mrs. Xu raise her eyebrows, but the tea on the table was no longer hot, but the teenager still looked calm, did not see the slightest boredom, and had the calmness and patience that was hard to have at this age.
This is a difficult person to deal with.
Fortunately, such people are often very proud.
...
...
After entering the palace of God, he said a few words to the mother-in-law, and no one ignored her anymore. After sitting in the side hall for half an hour, it is natural to feel a little bored, but Chen Changsheng has been accustomed to desertion since childhood, and does not find it difficult.
While silently carrying the content of the notes in the sixth volume of the "Hua Ting Jing", he waited for the other party to hurry to come to him. He returned the marriage letter to the other party. After solving this matter, he still had a lot of his own Things to do.
He really took only one sip of the tea in the case and dipped his slightly dry lips, but he was not as cautious or alert as the grandmother conjectured, but he felt that he would be a guest in someone else’s house and drink it in case If you want to go to the toilet too much, it will inevitably be impolite, and although the tea bowls used in the God General's Mansion are all very expensive Ruya porcelain, he is still not used to drinking water with other people's utensils.
In this regard, he has some cleanliness.
He stood up and greeted the lavishly dressed lady as a junior. He guessed that the other party was probably Mrs. Xu of the God General's Mansion. He thought he could finally resolve the matter and reached into his arms, preparing to take the wedding book come out.
Mrs. Xu stretched out her hand without any urgency. She sat down on the throne and took the tea from the stewardess. He looked at him calmly and said, "Tianshuling hasn't visited yet? How about the bridge? Or go to the palace Look at the ivy, the scenery is also excellent."
Chen Changsheng thought that this was a greeting. He didn't think there was a need for greetings. But since he was the elder's speech, he naturally couldn't miss the courtesy. He responded briefly and respectfully: "I haven't seen it in a few days."
Mrs. Xu stopped her hands with the lid in the air, and asked, "So, as soon as you arrive in Kyoto, will you come to the General's House?"
Chen Changsheng said honestly: "Dare not delay."
"So it turns out."
The lady looked up at him coldly, thinking that the broken boy from the backcountry was not attracted by the grand scene of Kyoto, and went directly to the prefecture to discuss the marriage. The thought was so ardent and ridiculous.
Chen Changsheng didn’t understand the meaning of the word
it turned out to be so
, he stood up, reached into his arms again, and prepared to take out the marriage letter and return it to the other party. Now that he has made up his mind, he is not prepared to consider more time.
However, his actions caused another misunderstanding, and his wife looked at him, and his expression became more indifferent, saying: "I will not agree to this marriage, even if you take out the marriage letter, it does not make sense."
Chen Changsheng didn't expect to hear this sentence, and he was stunned for a while.
"The old lady was rescued by your master many years ago and then settled on this marriage... This seems like a good story?"
Mrs. Xu looked at him and said indifferently: "...but in fact it is a story that can only be found in the drama. It can't happen in the real world. Except those demented literati, who would believe it?"
Chen Changsheng wanted to explain that his intention was to divorce. However, after listening to this condescending remark, looking at Mrs. Xu’s undisguised indifference and indifference, he found it difficult to speak-at this time his hand was still In my arms, I have touched the edge of the hard paper. On a piece of paper is the wedding letter written by Dazai, and on a piece of paper there is the character of a little girl's birthday.
"The old lady died four years ago, and this family matter no longer exists."
Mrs. Xu looked at the teenager in front of her and continued: "I know you are a smart person, then we should talk like a smart person. The thing you want to consider now is not to continue this family matter, but to think carefully, What kind of compensation can you get, what do you think of my proposal?"
Chen Changsheng took his hand out of his arms without holding the wedding book, and hung it to his waist, asking: "Can I ask why?"
"Why? This is not a question that smart people should ask."
Mrs. Xu looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Because your teacher is good at medical treatment, but still just an ordinary Taoist, and here I am God General; because you are a poor teenager who can only wear old Taoist clothes, and my daughter It’s the lady of God General’s House; because you are an ordinary person, and God General’s House should not be a place where ordinary people can come in. Is my explanation clear enough?

Chen Changsheng's hand clenched slightly, but his voice did not tremble: "It's very clear."
Looking at this still childish face, Mrs. Xu decided to put more pressure on him. She knew very well what the smart and proud boy couldn't stand the most. Later, he would definitely propose to retire.
She put the tea bowl on the case, stood up, and said, "This cup of tea in your case is a butterfly tea before the Ming Dynasty. You can only buy one or two silver or two. This tea bowl comes from Ruyao, and it is more expensive than gold. Tea It’s cold, if you don’t drink, it means you haven’t had the life of drinking this cup of tea. You are just the grass roots in the mud, you are not porcelain, just rubble, and you want to change your life by climbing my god’s palace? Sorry, this or Makes you happy, but it makes me very unhappy."
The lady's voice was very calm, and she didn't deliberately domineering, but pressed the person to the ground. She didn't deliberately conquer, but she seemed to be looking at a ants from the sky from the ground.
All these emotions were accurately conveyed to Chen Changsheng.
This is a naked humiliation, especially the phrase "change your life by climbing the temple", is an unacceptable accusation for any proud teenager. In order to be able to hold his head and leave proudly, many people probably will Choose to argue angrily, then take out the wedding letter and tear it in half, throw it in front of the lady, and even spit in two more words.
And this is exactly the picture that Mrs. Xu wants to see-if it is not that marriage letter is too special, she does not have a better way, so why do you have to pay attention to these minds like today?
There was no sound in the side hall.
She looked at Chen Changsheng coldly, waiting for the teenager's anger.
However, the development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations.
Chen Changsheng looked at Mrs. Xu calmly and said: "Actually, you misunderstood. I came to God's Palace this time just to return the marriage certificate to the palace. I originally came to retire."
It's all silent.
The wind came from the garden, blowing the old bamboo branches under the gallery.
The lady was slightly surprised and asked, "You say it again?"
She didn't notice that her voice was a little nervous and a little relaxed. It was unimaginable because of the accident. Whether the teenager was unwilling to lose his face, saying so deliberately, or really coming out of marriage, she wanted to see it.
Chen Changsheng looked at her seriously and said, "Actually...I'm here to retire."
In the corner of the hall, the face of the grandmother seemed to have disappeared for a long time.
Mrs. Xu's expression remained unchanged, but her palm fell gently on her chest.
At this moment, the entire God General Mansion seemed to have become much lighter.
Chen Changsheng's expression suddenly became serious.
He said: "But now...I changed my mind."
The spring breeze in the house became cold again, and the atmosphere became extremely depressed again. In the dark corner of the hall, the wrinkles on the face of the grandmother, like deep gullies, were suddenly washed away by the flood.
Suddenly, Mrs. Xu felt that she had done something wrong.
She forcibly suppressed the uneasy uneasiness in her heart and made her voice as gentle as possible. She said: "Now that she has figured it out, why should you say such a thing? Why not..."
However, she was stunned to find that the teenager did not continue to listen to herself.
Chen Changsheng picked up his luggage from the ground and carried it to his body, and walked directly outside the hall.
