Chapter 51 Parting in the summer

After leaving the Buddhist hall and walking up the stone steps, the exquisitely carved buildings in the small temple came into view again, forming a strong contrast with the deserted and uninhabited peaks in the back mountains. Just like the Buddhist hall surrounded by incense, the figures dressed in gray

A girl wearing coarse linen clothes, but with a delicate appearance and a graceful figure.

After Qin Liang walked out, he wanted to look back, but because he believed that the girl was a female member of Wang Guang's family, he held back in front of Wang Guang.

The slow sound of the wooden fish is still floating in the air at the same rhythm. Such sounds, because they are very regular and not loud, will not make people feel noisy. People will soon ignore them and even regard them as

A background-like atmosphere.

Wang Guang asked Qin Liang's age in a casual tone, and Qin Liang said that he was twenty years old this year and was not yet there. Wang Guang asked again if he was married, and Qin Liang said that he was not married yet.

At this time, Wang Guang turned to look at him and said seriously: "It's true that he is not young. Zhongming still wants to start a family. He should start a family first and then start a career."

Qin Liang said: "My servant returned to his hometown from the Imperial Academy of Luoyang. Unfortunately, his mother died, so he stayed at home as a mourner for more than two years. Then he was recruited to Luoyang and came to Huainan, so he didn't care about it."

Wang Guang nodded and said: "Yes, yes, he has filial piety." He continued: "Zhong Ming, a young and talented man, also has filial piety. I got along quite well with Zhong Ming. Under the mutual sympathy, there was really a feeling of hatred for each other.

It means late."

Qin Liang cupped his hands and said, "It's the same with me, it's a great blessing in life to get to know Gong Yuan."

The two looked at each other and smiled "haha".

Wang Guangdao: "Since last year, Zhongming happened to be an official in Huainan and had frequent contacts with General Zhengdong's Mansion, so you and I can see each other from time to time. After being apart for the past few days, I don't know when we can see each other again."

Qin Liang listened to his ramblings and had no choice but to respond: "It is estimated that General Sun will return to Luoyang, and my servant will follow him back. When we meet in Luoyang, how about we talk over wine?"

"But after all, casual conversation is just a casual exchange." Wang Guang said in a joking tone, "It would be great if the servant and Zhong Ming were relatives. Then wouldn't they be able to communicate with each other from time to time?"

Qin Liang showed a joking expression while accompanying him, and finally couldn't help but look back at the door of the Buddhist hall.

Unexpectedly, Wang Guang also turned around and looked around. After the two of them closed their eyes, they immediately looked at each other and remained silent for a while. Maybe they didn't know where to start.

Qin Liang murmured in his heart: What does this bearded old boy mean by what he said just now? Do you think he wants to marry his sister or daughter to me?

Wang Guang is the woman, so of course it's not easy for him to take the initiative to bring it up, but isn't that what the joke just meant? If Qin Liang doesn't understand, others can't really make it more obvious.

The two of them left the temple and strolled on the mountain path for a while. At this time, Qin Liang spoke less than before. He was still thinking about what had just happened and couldn't help but guess in secret.

The entourage hung far behind. In fact, it was very quiet here and there were no outsiders. Qin Liang wanted to explain and ask questions several times, but he still felt that it was not good after all.

Do as the Romans do, and sing whichever song you go to on any hilltop. In this era, the most appropriate approach is for the man to find a matchmaker to act as an intermediary. The intermediary can contact both parties to clarify the matter and the attitudes of both parties. This step is called nacai. This way

The most honorable way to do it is to wait until the matter is completed, and this set of procedures will be called the official marriage.

So even if Wang Guang meant that just now, he was just hinting. When the female family members arrived at the Buddhist hall, they pretended to be strangers and worshiped Buddha without recognizing each other. They only said in a joking tone that if they were relatives, they could have more contacts. There was nothing wrong with that.
