Chapter 1454: Nephew, do you like Sister Siya?
Tang Bao called Da Pan outside and made things clear.
"Da Pan, do you like Sister Siya?"
Da Pan's expression changed and he instinctively shook his head to deny it.
However, he paused under the gaze of his aunt.
"Aunt, I..." Da Pan lowered his head.
Tang Bao said helplessly: "Since you like Sister Siya, why don't you try to pursue her? Fight for her?"
Da Pan's eyes suddenly widened in shock, and he said, "Aunt, how can this be? Not to mention the generation gap between us, this is already against ethical principles. Isn't this a violation of etiquette to ask for love in private? This behavior is frivolous and dissolute, not what a gentleman does."
Tang Bao: “???????”
Tang Bao was even more surprised than Da Pan.
Oh my God! Who has poisoned my nephew's thinking to this point?
Tang Bao began to reflect.
I have not paid enough attention to my nephew's ideological education!
"Da Pan, what do you think of your fifth uncle? Is he a gentleman?" Tang Bao asked seriously.
"Of course!" Da Pan nodded decisively and said loudly.
"Then do you know that your fifth uncle was deeply in love with your fifth aunt, and they secretly engaged to each other?"
Da Pan: "..."
Can such a derogatory term be used to describe Uncle Wu?
"The way Uncle Wu treats Aunt Wu is..." Da Pan paused.
Da Pan recalled the time in Daliushu Village when his fifth uncle had given his fifth aunt a little rabbit in public, and exchanged glances with her. Even a blind man could sense the affectionate look that went on...
Da Pan is speechless.
It seems... those words are quite appropriate for Uncle Wu...
"Aunt, I understand what you mean. It's my nephew who is being pedantic." Da Pan said with his head down.
"A young man is teachable." Tang Bao nodded in affirmation and said, "Admitting one's mistakes is the best way to improve. Since you like Sister Siya, you should try your best to win her over while you two are still engaged."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she patted Da Pan’s shoulder encouragingly.
Then he said, "Don't worry, my aunt will definitely stand on your side!"
Da Pan's eyes lit up.
Then, it dimmed again.
"Aunt, my situation is different from Uncle Wu's," Da Pan said dejectedly. "The story of Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu is only known to us. Even if it gets out, as long as Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu are married, it will only be a good story and will not damage Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu's reputation."
Da Pan said this, gave a bitter laugh, and continued, "But I'm different. Xia Siya and I are of different generations, and ethical principles cannot be violated. Otherwise, both families will be brought into disgrace in the end."
Tang Bao rolled her eyes and said angrily, "What do you mean by generation difference? You and Sister Siya have no blood relationship at all!"
"But I do call her aunt, and Erpan and the others also call her aunt." Dapan said bitterly, "I can't let two families be criticized because of me."
"What a joke! If anyone dares to point fingers, I will bring Dabai to smash his pot!" Tang Bao said domineeringly.
You know, in the countryside, the most severe punishment is to go to the other person's house and smash the pot!
After all, the pot is what you eat!
A big iron pot determines whether a family can have enough food to eat and fill their stomachs?
For farmers who work hard in the fields, this is the most important thing.
Da Pan was naturally touched by his aunt's protection.
However, the more Tangbao acted like this, the more Dapan became more determined.
I will never cause trouble for my aunt!
I absolutely cannot let my aunt’s reputation be damaged because of myself!
What's more, as the eldest grandson of the Su family, he can only protect his aunt, protect his younger brothers, maintain the family's reputation, and set an example for his younger brothers!
"Aunt, Xia Siya is about to be engaged to Zheng Ziqian. Zheng Ziqian is a Jinshi of the current dynasty, full of talent, and has a good family background. The Xia family is also satisfied with this marriage." Da Pan said with a bitter heart, "My nephew is only a student now, how can he compare with a Jinshi? My nephew does not want to belittle himself, but he also knows himself well. Besides-"
Da Pan paused when he said this, and felt as if he had swallowed bitter herbs, with bitterness rising up in his heart.
"Xia Siya has always treated me as her junior and never had that intention. If she knew I had any inappropriate thoughts about her, she would probably feel extremely disgusted..."
Da Pan shuddered when he thought of Xia Siya's disgusted look.
No! He absolutely couldn't let that happen!
In fact, if Xia Siya showed any other intentions to him, he would probably find it difficult to control himself and would not watch her get engaged to others again and again.
Even if it means risking universal condemnation, he has the courage to fight for it.
However, the way Xia Siya looked at the younger generation was like a knife that cut him to pieces.
At the same time, it was also a reminder to him.
Sometimes, he was even glad that Xia Siya had no interest in him.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would do whatever it takes to express his feelings to his elders and ask to marry Xia Siya.
After hearing what Da Pan said, Tang Bao opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
Sister Siya always calls Da Pan "nephew"...
Just, it hurts...
Da Pan took a deep breath, looked at Tang Bao, and said with a firm gaze: "Don't worry, little aunt, after my nephew marries the girl from the Wang family, he will be a good husband and will never let the girl suffer any grievances!"
After Da Pan finished speaking, he touched his head a little embarrassedly, with a shy smile on his face.
He added, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, little aunt. The book says that if you are lustful, you will admire young women, and if you have a wife, you will admire her. My nephew will adjust his mentality."
Tang Bao: “…”
**
Cheng'en Palace.
King Cheng'en slammed the table.
"How ridiculous! Zheng Yao, that old fox, actually dares to despise my daughter!"
King Cheng'en was so angry that his face turned ashen and he looked like he wanted to kill someone.
Princess Linghua poured a cup of tea for Prince Cheng'en and said proudly, "Father, the Zheng family has no right to look down on your daughter! It was the Xia and Zheng families who had been discussing the marriage behind our backs."
"The Zheng family's daughter hosted a flower viewing banquet that day, mainly to invite Xia Siya to attend. Zheng Suxin even brought Xia Siya to meet Zheng Ziqian..."
Princess Linghua couldn't help but frown when she thought about what happened that day.
If she had known that Zheng Suxin was taking Xia Siya to meet Zheng Ziqian by chance, she would not have followed them.
She was afraid that Zheng Suxin would bully Xia Siya behind her back, but she never expected that the two families were interested in getting married.
That process was arranged in advance!
Moreover, why was she so unlucky that she dropped an earring and it happened to be picked up by Zheng Ziqian?
What bad luck!
