"What if I don't want to?"
This is very embarrassing.
Fu Xiaoguan touched his nose and smiled, "That's right. I personally feel that everyone is still too young and immature in all aspects. Marriage is a very important event in life, especially for women. It must be carefully considered. Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. If they make a mistake, they will regret it for the rest of their lives."
"Why not meet in person?" said Official Fu.
"Yes, Miss Zhang is very beautiful. If Mr. Fu sees her, he will definitely like her." Aunt Qian said quickly.
"I have something else to do. I have to go to Linjiang Academy. Please tell Miss Zhang that I'm sorry, she's... too young."
"She'll be fifteen this August, she's not little anymore."
"No, I think it's too young. You guys chat. I really have something to do. I'll leave first."
Fu Xiaoguan didn't take this matter to heart. Although he was also interested in blind dates, he felt that he couldn't bring himself to make a move on a little girl who was just about to turn fifteen.
This included Dong Shulan, but Dong Shulan's ability to handle things, and her stunning face made people overlook her childishness. This led Fu Xiaoguan to occasionally ignore Dong Shulan's age, making his letters more casual and even a little flirtatious.
Of course, he didn't know that every time Dong Shulan read his letter, she would blush and feel shy for a long time, but she would also be very happy, and even look forward to his next letter.
If a man is not bad...women will not love him. The ancients were right!
Fu Xiaoguan liked Dong Shulan, but his age was a hurdle he couldn't get around. He also took the difference in status into account, even considering whether he should spend three to five years studying for the imperial examination.
In the end, he gave up the idea. We are all still young, so let's wait and see.
Long-distance relationships are unreliable. If Dong Shulan finds someone she likes, Fu Xiaoguan may feel regretful, but he will still wish her the best.
This is a difference in thinking. He continues to look at issues between men and women with the thinking of his previous life. He clearly knows that feelings need a foundation and need to be maintained with care, unlike in today's world where people can get engaged without even meeting each other, and then on the wedding night, they realize what they have married, and then their lives will be filled with sorrow or joy.
Although my mother's life was short, she married for love.
My mother was not forgiven by the Xu family. This is a conflict of ideas, which has even escalated to an irreconcilable level. This is the sadness of this world.
…
The Zhang Mansion is also in Xishui Lane, only five houses away from the Fu Mansion.
If it were in the future, Fu Xiaoguan and Zhang Pei'er could be considered childhood sweethearts, but in this world, the two rarely even met each other - perhaps they had met when they were young, and Zhang Pei'er knew what Fu Xiaoguan looked like, but Fu Xiaoguan had no memory of Zhang Pei'er in his mind.
As the young lady of the Zhang family, the world she lives in is not big.
There were teachers who came to teach her when she was studying, and there were also corresponding teachers who taught her music, chess, calligraphy and painting. This was the education she received. Many young ladies from wealthy families received this kind of education. Therefore, when Dong Shulan came to Linjiang, Official Fu was very surprised.
At this moment, Zhang Pei'er's face was red. She walked back and forth in the boudoir, looked down and asked, "Am I small? Where am I small? Qingmei, come here and compare. Am I smaller than you? Humph..."
The maid Qingmei also found it strange. The young lady's breasts were indeed quite large, but why did the young master of the Fu family say that the young lady was too small? How could he know when he had never even met her? Could it be that someone was trying to ruin the young lady's reputation?
Zhang Pei'er stared out the window in a daze and sighed, "He was talking about age... He said we're all still too young, mentally and intellectually immature... How can we become mature? No matter how mature we become, we'll be like fruit on a tree; when we're overripe, they'll fall."
Zhang Pei'er couldn't understand what Fu Xiaoguan said about her being too young, because a girl should get married at the age of fifteen. If she was still unmarried after she was twenty, in the eyes of others, she would be considered an old leftover woman, just like the fruits on the tree outside the window, which would ripen and fall without anyone picking them up.
"No, I have to meet him. Qingmei, prepare the car."
Qingmei was stunned. The young lady has always been steady, so why did she lose her composure in this matter?
"Where are you going?"
"Linjiang Academy!"
…
"I plan to stay in Xiacun for a long time. There are many things I need to handle personally there, and I don't have many useful people on hand, which is very troublesome. So when I go to Linjiang, I will train some people. They don't have to be comprehensive, but they can be independent in a certain field. That will free me up."
In the Lotus Garden of Linjiang Academy, Fu Xiaoguan and Qin Bingzhong were drinking tea and chatting.
"What kind of manpower do you need specifically?"
"Construction, production management, finance, agriculture, iron smelting, and exploration skills, that's about it."
Qin Bingzhong thought for a moment and said, "I have quite a few students, but they are all academic. I haven't come into contact with the categories you mentioned. I'll keep an eye out for you and recommend you if there are any talents in these areas."
Qin Bingzhong's grandson Qin Chengye and granddaughter Qin Ruoxue have dropped out of school and come to Linjiang. At this moment, the two are sitting next to Qin Bingzhong. They know Fu Xiaoguan and his sister because Fu Xiaoguan had been here once before.
Qin Chengye was fifteen and Qin Ruoxue was thirteen, both studying at the Jixia Academy in Shangjing.
Qin Ruoxue sat quietly, feeling a little strange. This man was only sixteen, but he spoke very casually in front of her grandfather. Her grandfather said that this was his friend regardless of age difference, and that he was a man of great vision and knowledge, incomparable to ordinary people.
But what he said seemed like weird talk, and seemed to have nothing to do with the sages' books on how to govern the world. Unlike his classmates in the academy, he could talk about the sages' various great principles on how to govern the country and maintain peace in his country.
Qin Chengye listened very seriously. He did not like sacred learning. Instead, he was very interested in what Fu Xiaoguan said about building houses with cement, smelting iron to remove impurities, and that if something was done well, people could fly to the sky, etc.
Fu Xiaoguan and Qin Bingzhong chatted for a while and then said goodbye and left. Su Mo still followed behind him, fulfilling the duties assigned to him by Bai Yulian.
Now the two would occasionally talk to each other, mostly Fu Xiaoguan asking and Su Mo answering, of course, it was about internal strength.
There is no sense of Qi, only the strength of the body has increased, and the height seems to have grown a section taller. Of course, there is no light work. In Su Mo's words: You want to reach the sky in one step?
Then we'll just have to take it slow.
When I came out of Linjiang Academy, I saw a carriage parked next to my own carriage. A woman was standing next to the carriage. The sun was a little strong, and the woman was holding an oil-paper umbrella and gently waving a handkerchief.
