Ouyang Yi felt that he must have caught a cold.

 After all, the temperature in Beijing is always high and low, and it snowed heavily at night.

 Ginger soup can not only drive away colds, but also prevent colds, so he will be fine after drinking the **** soup.

 The assistant nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

 It lasts about twenty minutes.

 The assistant came over with a bowl of steaming **** soup.

Ouyang Yi drank it in one go.

The room was already heated, but now after drinking a large bowl of hot **** soup, he felt that his whole body was very hot. Ouyang Yi took off his coat and looked at the assistant beside him, "Xiao Zhao, please go back and rest first."

 “Okay sir.” Xiao Zhao nodded, turned and left.

As soon as Xiao Zhao left, Ouyang Yi sneezed again unprepared.

How strange!

 I also drank **** soup.

 The sweat is also coming out.

 Logically speaking, I shouldn’t catch a cold again.

 Why are you still sneezing?

Ouyang Yi rubbed his nose.

  Dangdangdang--

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded in the air.

Ouyang Yi raised his head slightly and said, "Come in."



 The door is open.

 Old Mrs. Ouyang opened the door and walked in from the outside.

Seeing that the person coming was old Mrs. Ouyang, Ouyang Yi immediately stood up from the chair and said, "Mom, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

“There was a call from Situ’s family just now.” Old Mrs. Ouyang said.

“They sneezed!” Before he could finish his sentence, Ouyang Yi sneezed again.

 What is going on tonight?

 The sneezes came one after another.

Ouyang Yi sniffed.

Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Ouyang said with concern: "Yi'er, are you catching a cold?"

“I just drank the **** soup, I shouldn’t have caught a cold.” Ouyang Yi looked at Old Mrs. Ouyang and continued: “Mom, why did you just say that the Situ family called?”

 The Situ family and the Ouyang family have always been on good terms.

Mrs. Situ and Mrs. Ouyang have been close friends for many years. However, because of Ouyang Yi's incident, Mrs. Ouyang has been obsessed with worshiping Buddha for many years and has little contact with the outside world. Therefore, she has not had much contact with Mrs. Situ in these years.

This time Old Mrs. Ouyang suddenly contacted Old Mrs. Ouyang, and she also heard that there was a missing daughter in Ouyang's family.

 Old Mrs. Ouyang sat opposite Ouyang Yi and then said, "Yi'er, do you still remember the agreement we made with the Situ family?"

 “What agreement?” Ouyang Yi asked.

Old Mrs. Ouyang continued: "If one day I have a granddaughter, I will marry the eldest grandson of the Situ family for a hundred years?"

The eldest grandson of the Situ family is named Situ Zhe.

  I am 25 years old this year.

Graduating with a doctorate, not only does he look like Pan An, but he has already made outstanding achievements in politics at a young age and has a bright future. He is an ideal husband for many famous families in the capital.

 But Ouyang Yi felt extremely heartbroken when he thought that he had just met his precious daughter and now he was considering her daughter's marriage.

no.

You must not let your baby girl get **** by a pig early.

No wonder I kept sneezing just now!

 It turned out that someone was thinking about his precious daughter.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Yi continued: "Mom! What you said to Mrs. Situ at that time was just a verbal agreement! How can you take it seriously? Maybe the Situ family has forgotten this matter long ago, so don't think too much about it. "

 Besides, it is already the 21st century, and marriage has been free for a long time.

 You can’t do the old feudal things!

"Yi'er, although that incident was just a verbal agreement, I always feel that the Situ family came because of that incident. After all, Mrs. Situ asked a lot about Ah Wu." At the end of the sentence, Ouyang The old lady frowned slightly, "Tell me, if Old Madam Situ really talks about this matter tomorrow, how should I deal with it?"

 Old Mrs. Situ and she are friends after all.

Moreover, it was she who proposed the verbal agreement back then.

Let her refuse now

 She really didn’t know how to speak.

　Now Mrs. Ouyang regrets extremely much that she talked too much back then.

Ouyang Yi narrowed his eyes and asked, "How old is that boy from the Situ family?"

Old Mrs. Ouyang said: "If I remember correctly, I should be 25 years old."

"25?" Ouyang Yi's eyes widened, "Our Ah Wu is only 19 years old! There is a generation gap at the age of three. Rounding up, he and Ah Wu are two generations apart! Isn't this an old cow eating young grass? No, no, no! This I will definitely not agree to this matter. If Mrs. Situ really talks about this matter tomorrow, please express it tactfully, Ah Wu may not like boys older than her."

The girl who is 19 years old has a flower.

  At the age of 25, he is already an old man!

no.

 Absolutely not.

 Old Mrs. Ouyang nodded, "Then I'll just act according to the circumstances."

"Um."

At the same time, Lu Ye, who was about to drive home after sending Lin Wu upstairs, sneezed unexpectedly.

 “A sneeze!”

Lu Ye frowned slightly.

  Could it be that it suddenly snowed tonight and caught a cold?

 But he didn’t feel cold at all!

It’s really strange.

   **

 Situ family.

 Old Mrs. Situ is sitting in the study room practicing calligraphy.

Situ Zhe knocked on the door outside, "Grandma."

 “Come in.” Upon hearing her grandson’s voice, Mrs. Situ put down her pen.

Situ Zhe opened the door and came in.

 Old Mrs. Situ looked at her grandson and said, "Sit down."

Situ Zhe nodded and sat on a chair nearby, "Grandma, what do you want from me?"

“Have you heard everything about the Ouyang family?” Old Mrs. Ouyang continued.

Ouyang Yi was stunned for a moment, "What happened to the Ouyang family?"

Old Mrs. Situ said calmly, "Your Uncle Ouyang has a daughter who is exactly nineteen years old this year. They are planning to hold a recognition banquet on the 18th of next month to recognize this only daughter as her ancestor."

 Situ Zhe's eyes were full of surprise.

 In fact, he had heard rumors about this matter a long time ago.

 But he didn't take it to heart at all.

 After all these years, Ouyang Yi has never been close to any woman.

Coupled with Ouyang Yi's really weird personality, everyone thought he didn't like women.

 So, when he heard this rumor, he only thought it was very funny.

 Unexpectedly, it is actually true.

 It is true that there is no smoke without fire.

 “Is this news accurate?” Situ Zhe asked next.

"I've already asked you, Grandma Ouyang, in a subtle way. It's true." Old Mrs. Ouyang said.

Situ Zhe suppressed the shock in his eyes and nodded slightly.

Mrs. Situ looked at her most promising grandson and continued, "I'm going to visit Ouyang's house tomorrow morning to visit your grandma Ouyang. Remember to come with me."

 “What should I do?” Situ Zhe asked.

Mrs. Situ smiled and said, "There is one thing you may not know yet."

"What's up?"

Old Mrs. Situ said calmly, "Actually, our Situ family and the Ouyang family had arranged a baby wedding 22 years ago."

 Baby kiss?

 Situ Zhe had an incredible look on his face.

 What age is this?

 There is such a thing as baby kissing.

 “Who is following whom?” Situ Zhe asked next.

Old Mrs. Situ continued: "You."

 “Me?” Situ Zhe pointed at himself, his eyes full of shock, “Who am I with?”

 Lived 25 years.

Situ Zhe knew for the first time that he actually had a baby kissing him!

  Absolutely outrageous.

Situ Zhe has two younger brothers. He thought he would be able to watch the fun, but unexpectedly, the fun turned out to be his own.

Mrs. Situ smiled and said, "Of course it's you and Miss Sun of the Ouyang family."

 “Grandma, stop joking.” How could Situ Zhe still sit still? Just stand up from the chair.

“I’m not kidding,” Mrs. Situ continued: “You and Miss Sun of the Ouyang family do have an engagement. The main purpose of my going to the Ouyang family tomorrow morning is for this matter.”

 “Remember to behave well when the time comes.”

 Given the Situ family's current status in the capital.

 Only the granddaughter of the Ouyang family can be worthy of Situ Zhe.

 Moreover, Situ Zhe is currently in the promotion period.

The Ouyang family has a strong background, and the living girl is the only granddaughter of the Ouyang family. If Situ Zhe can become the grandson-in-law of the Ouyang family, it will be like adding more wings to a tiger, and his future career will be more stable.

Situ Zhe was very resistant to such things, "Grandma, I have never met the so-called Miss Sun of the Ouyang family. Isn't this a fantasy?"

 Compared with family marriage.

 He prefers free love.

Once a person comes to this world, if he can’t even choose his lover, then what’s the point of living?

 He will never allow this to happen to him.

Old Mrs. Situ frowned slightly, "Xiao Zhe, now is not the time for you to fool around! You should know what the Ouyang family's background means to you."    "Grandma, I have reached this point entirely on my own. Strength has been like this before, and it will be like this in the future! I will never rely on any force!" Especially when he is betting on his own life-long events.

 He can't do it.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and those pretty boys who hang out with rich women?

 The love he yearns for is evenly matched.

　　means to go in both directions.

  Rather than due to interests.

"Xiao Zhe, you have to be tactful in your life and have an eye for current affairs. Since there is a shortcut for you to take, why don't you leave the high road and insist on taking the road full of thorns?"

If Situ Zhe can get together with Miss Sun of the Ouyang family, given the influence of the Ouyang family in the capital, Situ Zhe will be able to avoid at least twenty years of detours in the future.

"Grandma, even if you tell me about this, I won't agree." Situ Zhe's attitude was very firm.

Mrs. Situ frowned and continued: "What if Miss Sun from the Ouyang family happens to be your ideal type?"

“My ideal type is a girl who has her own ideas, not a puppet.”

Since Ms. Sun of the Situ family can agree to such an outrageous baby marriage, it shows that she is a traditional, dull, and unopinionated girl.

No matter how beautiful this kind of girl is, she is just a flower vase.

 He doesn’t need such a significant other.

I will never like this kind of girl.

Seeing her grandson like this, Old Mrs. Ouyang was helpless. After a moment, she sighed and said sincerely: "Xiao Zhe, you are still young and don't understand the importance of family background. I heard that in the future, your Uncle Ouyang will It is impossible for them to have any more children of their own, which means that Miss Sun is the only heir to the Ouyang family."

 The rest is self-evident.

Although the Situ family has a prominent position in the capital, compared with the Ouyang family, it is still a little behind.

If the Situ family can marry with the Ouyang family, it will be a strong alliance.

 Situ Zhe's status will jump thousands of miles.

Such a good thing is something that no one else can even burn incense, but Situ Zhe is so good that he actually despises it.

Hearing this, Situ Zhe directly interrupted Mrs. Situ, "Grandma, I understand what you mean, but I have my own bottom line and position. I can listen to you on anything, but not on this matter."

 Men all have their own dignity.

The same goes for Situ Zhe.

 He doesn’t want to be said to have relied on women to get to the top one day.

He will not sell his body and soul for the sake of his future.

"Xiao Zhe!" Mrs. Situ sighed, "How about you go and meet Miss Sun of the Ouyang family first, and we'll talk about it later whether it works or not."

Situ Zhe knew that he must stick to his position on this kind of matter and never back down.

 Once you regress, you can only retreat step by step.

 So he must not compromise to meet that Miss Sun of the Ouyang family.

Situ Zhe refused directly, "Grandma, I have no interest in Miss Sun of the Ouyang family. You should not mention this matter again."

“Isn’t it okay to go and meet him?” Old Mrs. Ouyang asked.

Situ Zhe continued: "Grandma, it's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'll go back to the room first."

 After saying that, Situ Zhe turned around and left.

Mrs. Situ looked at his back and said, "Xiao Zhe, then tomorrow morning."

“Grandma, I have a meeting to hold this morning, so I can’t accompany you to Ouyang’s house.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Situ sighed.

 She wanted to risk her old face to help her grandson.

 Based on her relationship with Old Mrs. Ouyang, Old Mrs. Ouyang might agree to this.

 I didn’t expect that this child would be so opposed.

 After all, you are still too young!

It seems that this matter can only be done step by step and cannot be done too hastily.

the other side.

 After getting a chance to pursue Lin Wu again, Lu Ye was in a very good mood and returned to the apartment humming a little tune.

Lin Wu said that as long as he performs well, he can become a regular employee after the three-month internship period.

 Twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Xue Jinghao had just finished a task. He sat in front of the computer and stretched himself. When he was about to wash up and go to bed, a strange singing sound came to his ears.

 At first, Xue Jinghao thought he heard wrongly.

  After all, only Lu Ye and himself lived in this 300-square-meter apartment.

With Lu Ye’s character, he would never sing in the middle of the night.

 Don’t talk about singing in the middle of the night.

This man has always been deep-tempered and never expresses his joy or anger. Even during the day, he would never lose his composure and sing at the top of his lungs.

 But as the sound became clearer and clearer, Xue Jinghao realized belatedly that this did not seem to be an auditory hallucination.

 Did you forget to turn off the TV in the living room?

Xue Jinghao touched his head and came to the living room with a puzzled look on his face.

As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw Lu Ye, who was singing proudly in the spring breeze, walking in.

 He is wearing a black coat.

 Looking at it, he must have just come back from outside. There are still unmelted snowflakes on his hair and shoulders.

Xue Jinghao was stunned!

 The person singing is actually the third brother.

Isn’t this too abnormal?

Xue Jinghao has known Lu Ye for more than 20 years, but he never knew that Lu Ye could sing!

And he sang "Today is a Good Day"

　　　! !

  It’s simply off the mark.

Xue Jinghao swallowed and felt that he must have been hallucinating because he worked too long.

 Until Lu Ye came over and pushed him away, "Don't block the way."

Xue Jinghao: "???"

 Not an illusion?

After being stunned for a few seconds, Xue Jinghao finally said, "Third, third brother, what good thing has happened to you?"

"How do you know something good happened to me?" Lu Ye turned his eyes slightly, his deep phoenix eyes were dark and could not see the bottom.

 Xue Jinghao: "."

 “Is there any need to guess? You are so happy that you are singing!”

"Keep it secret." He had made an agreement with Lin Wu not to tell anyone about this matter until he officially became a regular employee.

Xue Jinghao continued: "Third brother, have you caught up with Sister Lin?"

 “No.” Lu Ye replied.

 He is still in the assessment period, so he has not caught up yet.

Xue Jinghao’s face is full of black question marks.

　　Not actually!

 But apart from chasing Lin Wu, what else could make Lu Ye so happy?

Xue Jinghao narrowed his eyes, "Then where did you go just now?"

 “Confidential.” Lu Ye said in a low tone.

 Xue Jinghao was even more puzzled.

How does he feel that the third brother is no longer the third brother he knew?

Lu Ye continued: "By the way, there is something you need to deal with."

 “What’s the matter?” Xue Jinghao asked.

Lu Yedao: "There is a small problem in country P. I have asked Linda to book the flight tickets for you."

Xue Jinghao was confused.

 How does he feel that the third brother is deliberately sending him away?

Something seems wrong!

“Third brother, are you hiding something from me?” Xue Jinghao asked next.

"You think too much."

Xue Jinghao scratched his head, "Then why did you suddenly ask me to go to country P?"

Just yesterday, he discussed with Lu Ye that they should go back to Qingshi together.

 This is less than 10 hours.

Lu Ye actually changed things at his request.

Intuition told Xue Jinghao that there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

 There must be other reasons why the third brother asked him to go to country P.

Lu Ye looked back slightly and looked at Xue Jinghao, "I asked you to go to country P because I thought you had the ability. Why didn't I let Heizi go? Why didn't I let Shi Wenli go? Haven't you thought about the specific reason?"

 Speaking of this, Lu Ye took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and lightly opened his thin lips, "If you don't want to go, I can let someone else go."

As soon as he said this, Xue Jinghao nodded immediately, "I'll go, I'll go! Third brother, don't get me wrong, I'm going to pack my luggage now."

Since the third brother values ​​him so much, of course he cannot let the third brother down!

Looking at Xue Jinghao's back, Lu Ye raised his thin lips slightly.

 Get rid of a three-kilowatt light bulb.

 Mood better.

 The first thing Lin Wu did when she got up the next morning was to open the window and look at the world outside.

 The snow hasn’t stopped yet.

 Everywhere you look is covered with snow. Visually, the snow accumulation has exceeded

This is the first time Lin Wu saw the snow scene so intuitively, and she couldn't help but sigh, "It's so beautiful!"

 Half an hour later, Lin Wu washed herself, dressed neatly and went downstairs.

As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Fang Youling and Tang Shaowei discussing the first snow this year.

 “Grandpa and grandma, good morning.”

Before Fang Youling could even see Lin Wu's face clearly, she had already run out the door, "Why is this child running so fast? Slow down and don't fall."

After finishing the sentence, Fang Youling looked at Mr. Tang again, "Old man, go and give Xiaowu a scarf and a hat! Why is this child going to play in the snow with such thin clothes?"

 “Okay.” Mr. Tang nodded and took the scarf and hat from the servant. (End of chapter)
