Chapter 1164 Chapter 1164
Huang Zhi finally raised his head, his eyes firm, "She is not a prostitute, I said she is from a good family."
"Nonsense! A girl from a good family? A commoner? Or a farmer's daughter? You should think about it carefully. Our family is well-known in the capital. If you like her, Yunzhi hasn't given birth to a child in the past three to five years since she came into the family. You can marry her back on your own. If I, as your brother, try to stop you, I'll be damned!"
"Big brother!"
Huang Zhi sighed. The courage he had finally gathered was suppressed by Huang Zhou. However, he still argued, "She is dignified and has a clean family background. I took her body. Don't I have to give an explanation?"
"Is your family background clean?"
Huang Zhou, with his baby face, was almost furious. "How could someone with a clean family background go to a place like that? If she wasn't pretty, she wouldn't have been able to come out and do this embarrassing business at the banquet!"
Looking at the third brother, he is just like a simple scholar who was misled by beauty.
"Brother! She——"
"Stop it!" Huang Zhou stood in front of Huang Zhi with his hands behind his back, looking angry and annoyed. "Shut up! If I hear you mention that woman again, I will not let her go, whether you believe it or not."
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
Huang Zhi became anxious and stood up, half a head taller than Huang Zhou. However, at this moment his momentum was overwhelmed by Huang Zhou.
"What?"
Huang Zhou pointed at the empty space and scolded, "This woman jumped into the pond in the suburbs of our Huang family. She floated up, and I had someone fish her out. She was lucky to be alive, and she promised me that I would never miss this day or you again. What? I sent her away for hundreds of miles, and she sneaked back. She wants to be my third brother's wife? Dream on!"
"She jumped into the water and committed suicide?"
Huang Zhi sat down dejectedly.
"Who knows if she was just pretending, she almost defiled the yard. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Yunzhi is my mother's favorite niece. If you want to cancel the engagement, I'm afraid my father and mother will break your legs immediately!"
Huangzhou used both soft and hard tactics to give a good advice.
Huang Zhi felt even more strange, "Brother, she is of high status, how can she be a concubine..."
Liu Furan said that even if she didn't want to, the lady from Pei Si's family would dare to hit the door of his Huang family. Huang Zhou saw this and did not go out to wander around. Instead, he stayed with Huang Zhi for a whole day.
Huang Zhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother, I promised you not to mess around, so don't do this either."
"Study hard, I will ask Liu Furan later. He is inseparable from you. I want to know where that prostitute is hiding now. I will punish her!"
"useless!"
Huang Zhi shook his head, "Brother, can you be called a real man if you embarrass a weak woman?"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Huang Zhou waved his hand, "I have always been a playboy. Unlike you scholars, I don't have so many false feelings. If she dares to use tiger skin to scare you, I dare to tear her face off!"
"I promised you that!"
The next day, Huangzhou could not bear the invitation of his lover, but he knew that such a grown-up man was not something he could take care of every day, so he scolded him again before going out to have fun, fanning himself.
When he had time, Huang Zhi came to Liu's house.
Without reporting to his subordinates, and without anyone leading the way, he went straight to Liu Furan's study. Sure enough, Liu Furan found a recliner and lay down in the yard to bask in the sun.
There was tea, sweet fruit, and snacks on a low table nearby. From time to time, a maid would come up to him and fan him and massage his legs.
It's quite pleasant.
"Why are you here?"
Liu Furan raised his head, waved away the maid, and looked at his childhood friend with a puzzled look on his face.
"You shouldn't slack off at this time. You have to study hard for a few more days. The palace examination is very important!" Seeing Huang Zhi coming over, he pulled him away and lay down on the chair, taking a paper fan to cover his face. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
"If my eldest brother comes to ask you, you must not tell him."
Liu Furan was completely confused after hearing this, "What can't I say?" He wanted to grab the chair, but he didn't expect that Huang Zhi was as heavy as a corpse and couldn't be moved at all.
He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and sit on the chair next to him, very curious.
"It's about Ling Bai."
"What?"
Liu Furan's voice suddenly increased, and he almost jumped up, "You...you...you really want to cancel the engagement?"
how can that be!
"I told my eldest brother about it. He doesn't know who she is, but he was lucky enough to meet her. If she comes to ask you, you must not say that you are in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and you must not reveal any information about her."
"Your elder brother——"
"I scolded you for two days!"
Huang Zhi's voice came from under the paper fan, "Yunzhi and I are just brother and sister..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Furan was so angry that his chest hurt. "Third Master! Third Master! Don't think about the impossible. Even if there was no sister Yunzhi, you and her would not be together. Your old man and old lady would not allow you to marry a girl from a poor family."
"…Really?"
"cannot!"
Xu Lingbai was on the list, and if he had the ability to be an official in the future, it would be far from enough. To support the Xu family, that would take decades, and he would have to go smoothly without being demoted or demoted.
By that time, only Xu Lingbai, who has a strong foundation, would be qualified to arrange marriages for his children with families like the Huang and Pei families.
Now, no!
"Even if the Pei family acts as a matchmaker, it's still impossible?"
"cannot!"
Huang Zhi sighed, "I'm sorry for her."
"You two have secretly agreed to spend your lives together?" Liu Furan slapped his head. It was so fast. Huang Zhi shook his head quickly, "Of course not. It's just that I like her..."
"Shut up."
Liu Furan was very rude, "The palace examination is imminent, and your future is important. Romance is fleeting. You two are not destined to be together, so don't think about it anymore."
No matter how much Huang Zhi tried to persuade him, he refused to give in.
He was not the kind of person who believed everything he heard, so Liu Furan had no choice but to bring up loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness again.
Huang Zhi looked around and repeatedly reminded Liu Furan not to let the secret slip.
Liu Furan rolled his eyes and said, "Promise me not to provoke him, and I won't tell anyone. Otherwise, I will stand on Big Brother's side and will definitely share the same hatred with him!"
"understood."
Huang Zhi was in a bad mood and had no interest at all.
In Rongfu Garden of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, Xu Lingqiao was lost in thought as she clutched the dark red blood jade in her hand. Ever since Huang Zhi hastily and domineeringly stuffed it into her hands, there has been no news from him.
She was panicked and worried that Huang Zhi was not a gentleman.
But that day, it seemed that she was not such a mean person, so I made up my mind. If it could really work out, it would be better than the current situation where I have lost my virginity and cannot talk about marriage.
Since her brother was also on the list, she was looking forward to double happiness.
Lianhua and Xile came to serve her, and they also found that the girl smiled more often than before, and they couldn't help but feel relieved, "My cousin is very talented, and you will have someone to rely on in the future. If my cousin gets a good ranking in the palace examination, he will have a bright future, and you will also be blessed."
"If this can be done, it must be good."
Her eyes were full of affection, and there was a hint of expectation in them.
