Chen Yue'e looked at the expressions of the two people, and felt nervous, and quickly said with a smile, "Master Tang, Mrs. Tang, please don't look at my nephew who has only a short time to practice martial arts. He is different from others and is naturally willing to endure hardships. I heard that even the head of Hall Zhao values him very much!"
Jiang Fa has been willing to endure hardships since childhood, but being valued by Zhao Zhong was something Chen Yue'e made out of desperation.
After all, she still wanted Jiang Fa to gain some weight in the Tang Family people's hearts.
Old Master Tang was noncommittal and smiled faintly, "It is a good thing for young people to be willing to endure hardships. The most important thing in martial arts is persistence. It's just that Mr. Jiang's time to practice martial arts is still short, and the road ahead is long, so he still needs to work hard."
These words sounded gentle, but in fact they were a bit perfunctory.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became a little more subtle.
Jiang Fa still looked calm, not even a little bit nervous.
He naturally understood the meaning of Old Master Tang's words. He just felt that his martial arts training period was too short and his foundation was shallow, and he was not worthy of the Tang Family.
But he wasn't in a hurry, anyway, today was just a formality to deal with his aunt.
Old Master Tang was silent for a moment and then spoke again, "I heard that Zhao Clan Martial Hall has strict rules and all the disciples in the inner courtyard are elites. I wonder what kind of talent Mr. Jiang is and how far he has cultivated?"
This question is a bit more of a real test.
Chen Yue'e's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he stared at Jiang Fa nervously, fearing that he would say the wrong thing.
Compared to her aunt's nervousness, Jiang Fa spoke calmly and calmly, "My junior's qualifications are ordinary, but I'm just of low quality. As for my cultivation... it's pretty good."
Inferior root bone?
Old Master Tang Although he is not a martial artist, he has heard a little bit about Gen Gu.
This guy, of low caliber, has only been practicing martial arts for one year, so he dares to say that his cultivation is acceptable?
He is clearly young and ignorant, sitting in a well and looking at the sky, bragging in disguise!
Old Master Tang The last trace of expectation in his eyes completely dissipated, and the smile on his face completely faded.
Although he had made up his mind, in order to maintain Tang Family's dignity, Old Master Tang still ordered the servant, "Where is the lady? Why don't you come over?"
The maid responded and hurried away.
Not long after, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the door.
The door curtain was raised, and a slender figure slowly walked into the living room.
The visitor is none other than the dignified eldest lady Tang Family Tang Jin'er.
She wore a thin aqua coat, a lotus colored pleated skirt underneath, and a goose-yellow silk scarf tied around her waist, which made her waist more slender and attractive.
The hem of her skirt swayed as she walked, like newly drawn wicker in spring.
The face is a standard melon-seed face, with long eyebrows, eyes like autumn water, a small bridge of nose, snow-white complexion, dark and smart almond eyes, and a quiet and elegant temperament.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, his stature has not yet fully grown, but he already has the ability to charm someone.
Chen Yue'e's eyes suddenly lit up. He quietly patted the back of Jiang Fa's hand and lowered his voice and said, "How about it? Auntie didn't lie to you. Doesn't it look good?"
Jiang Fa glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze.
Tang Jin'er is indeed born well, but that's all.
There was no emotion in his heart. He just stood up according to etiquette, cupped his fists and said, "Ms. Tang."
Tang Jin'er raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes only rested on his face for a moment, then he lowered his head, bowed his hands and said in a soft voice, "I have met Mr. Jiang."
Her voice was very pleasant, but Jiang Fa could hear a hint of imperceptible perfunctoryness.
To be more precise, it is resistance.
Tang Jin'er lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, and there was a decent smile at the corner of his mouth.
She didn't look at Jiang Fa the whole time.
Lady Zhou pulled Old Master Tang's sleeve and said with a smile, "Jin'er, sit down quickly. Mr. Jiang comes back and you can talk to him."
Tang Jin'er sat down opposite, took the tea from the maid, and sipped it in small sips. During this period, he sometimes answered Lady Zhou's questions, but there was always a vague layer of alienation between him and Jiang Fa.
Jiang Fa didn't mind either, just holding the tea bowl and drinking slowly.
He had no intention of actually having a blind date here,
Old Master Tang Seeing his daughter acting like this, his face darkened slightly, but it was hard to get angry in front of guests.
"Master Jiang, sit down for a moment. I'll come as soon as I go."
Old Master Tang stood up and winked at Lady Zhou.
Lady Zhou understood, got up and followed him into the inner hall.
There were only Jiang Fa, Chen Yue'e, Tang Jin'er, and two maids standing with their hands down in the living room.
Chen Yue'e is a restless person. He comes close to Tang Jin'er and talks about this and that. Sometimes he praises her for the quality of her clothes and sometimes for her good earlobes. This is a sign of good fortune.
Tang Jin'er just smiled and responded, but his eyes drifted to the door from time to time.
Jiang Fa saw all this and became more and more sure of his guess.
Inner hall.
"Master, this Mr. Jiang..." Lady Zhou hesitated to speak.
"The foundation is too weak. It looks stable on the surface, but it is difficult to be elegant." Old Master Tang took two steps with his hands behind his back and concluded with one sentence.
"Find a reason to decline politely..."
Lady Zhou showed some anxiety on his face. "I've looked at so many but still can't find the right candidate, what should I do..."
"Jin'er That girl... she made trouble again last night and said she didn't want to die. I think she is still thinking about that man surnamed Meng."
"The surname is Meng!"
Old Master Tang got angry when he heard the name: "A idle and low-income person dares to dream of my Tang Family daughter! I have already said that the man named Meng is a smooth-tongued man with evil thoughts! But your precious daughter was swayed by his sweet words, and she is obsessed with it!"
"Master, don't be angry." Lady Zhou hurriedly smoothed his back. "Jin'er is young and ignorant, take your time..."
"Not sensible? Humph."
"I think she deliberately wants to piss me off to death so that we can have sex with that bastard named Meng." Old Master Tang snorted coldly.
Lady Zhou sighed, not knowing how to comfort him.
I had no choice but to get up and go back to the living room first.
Chen Yue'e was talking enthusiastically when he saw Lady Zhou coming back and said with a smile, "Madam, our little boy told me just now that Miss Tang is well-educated and sensible, and she likes her very much."
Jiang Fa The corner of his mouth twitched, but he held the tea bowl and said nothing.
Lady Zhou covered his mouth and smiled, looking around in a circle between Tang Jin'er and Jiang Fa. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Jin'er suddenly stood up and bowed to Lady Zhou: "Mother, my daughter has some chest tightness and wants to go out for some air."
Lady Zhou Although he was unhappy in his heart, but the guests were present, he still nodded. "Go, don't go too far."
Tang Jin'er responded and led the maid out of the living room.
When she left, her footsteps were much lighter than when she came in, like a sparrow that finally broke out of its cage.
Outside the living room, Tang Jin'er rushed along the corridor, turned two corners, and stopped under an old plum tree.
She glanced left and right, took out a small paper bag from her sleeve, and turned to look at the maid Cuizhu who was following behind her.
"Everyone has made arrangements?"
Cuizhu nodded nervously and lowered his voice. "Miss, those three people have already entered the west courtyard. Mr. Meng said that they will just wait for the signal from here and they will take action."
