Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 35 Classmates
The old Taoist priest Qingyun and my uncle Yu Youcai went out.

Yu Youcai said goodbye to the old Taoist priest and prepared to leave.

"Aren't you going back with me?" said the old Taoist priest.

Yu Youcai shook his head and said, "I'll go take a look around."

"Are you going to see Qiaozhen again?" asked the old Taoist priest.

Yu Youcai did not answer, which was considered as his consent.

The old Taoist priest said with some resentment: "You didn't have the courage when you were alive, and you are so infatuated after your death. It's really cowardly. Mr. Yu San was such a great man back then. It's a pity... Alas..."

The Mr. Yu San mentioned by the old Taoist priest is my great-uncle’s grandfather and Shen Siyuan’s great-great-grandfather.

He was also a remarkable person in his day, but time waits for no one, and everything is gone with the wind. Few people remember him now, and he has left no trace at all in this world.

Upon hearing this, Yu Youcai did not say anything, but just bowed to the old Taoist priest and left.

The old Taoist looked at his back, then turned around and looked at the second floor behind him.

"But I didn't expect that the one who most resembles Mr. Yu San is actually a descendant of a different surname."

The old Taoist priest paused for a moment, then also floated away.

"Siyuan, wake up. It's already so late and you're still sleeping."

Shen Siyuan was in a daze when he heard his mother knocking on the door.

When I opened my eyes, it was already bright outside. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, forming beams of light on the floor of the room.

I took out my phone and took a look. It was already nine o'clock in the morning.

"Get up, stop knocking."

Shen Siyuan shouted, then got out of bed and put his clothes on hastily. Then he walked over and opened the door, but his mother had already left.

"Mom, why didn't you call me earlier?" Shen Siyuan shouted.

"There's nothing to do in the morning, so why do I ask you to do it so early? I want you to sleep a little longer." My mother's voice came from downstairs.

This is really..., that's not what I said when I knocked on the door just now.

Maybe all mothers are like this. They want you to sleep more, but they don’t want you to sleep too much.

"Didn't you say you were going to have a blind date this morning? You don't have to wait until the afternoon, do you? Let me tell you, I have something to do in the afternoon." Shen Siyuan came down from upstairs.

"What can you do this afternoon?" Mom asked nonchalantly.

"I have some personal matters to attend to. I'm going to meet a friend."

My mother, who was shelling beans, looked up, glanced at him and asked, "Who is it?"

"I told you, you don't know him."

Shen Siyuan was very helpless, which was one of the reasons why he was unwilling to return to his hometown to manage the chicken farm with his father.

They want to know everything and ask about everything, no matter how big or small. They want to control you and there is no secret at all.

"My classmate, you don't know him." Shen Siyuan gave her a random reason.

My mother then said, "The porridge is on the table. It's cold and perfect for drinking. Eat it quickly. Your Seventh Aunt will come and take you there soon."

Shen Siyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not afternoon.

"Okay, I see."

The mother looked him up and down again and said, "Go to the bathroom and fix your hair. It's messy and looks terrible. Can you change your clothes?"

Shen Siyuan ignored her nagging and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

He had just finished half of his breakfast when Aunt Qi came over.

Aunt Qi is actually just a name in the village and has no relationship with Shen Siyuan's family.

Aunt Qi is younger than my mother. She is a slightly plump middle-aged woman with a very loud voice. She is used to laughing before speaking.

"Ms. Huang, I'm at home. Have you had breakfast?"

"I'm here, waiting for you." Mom quickly put down the work in her hands and went out to greet you.

Shen Siyuan also hurriedly picked up the rice bowl, poured the remaining porridge into his stomach, and then put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen. When he came out of the kitchen, his mother had already led Aunt Qi into the house.

"Good morning, Aunt Qi." Shen Siyuan greeted her hurriedly.

If he hesitated for just a moment, his mother would probably lecture him again.

Seeing Shen Siyuan, Aunt Qi said with a smile: "Siyuan is really a handsome man. You must work hard today and try to get married this year so that your mother can hold a grandson next year."

Shen Siyuan looked towards his mother and met her gaze.

He immediately looked away guiltily, and his mother punched him twice in annoyance.

"Speak up for me."

My mother punched him twice, then reached out to help him straighten his collar.

"Old Shen is not at home." Aunt Qi said again.

"He went to the chicken farm." said Mom.

"Let's go, don't delay, the sooner you go, the sooner you can come back."

Although it is in the neighboring village, it still takes some time to walk there.

After they left the house, Shen Siyuan asked, "Aunt Qi, you haven't told me which girl you introduced to me."

"The daughter of Zhang Laowai from Shiqiao Village is two years younger than you. Although Zhang Laowai doesn't look very good, his daughter is very pretty..."

"Zhang Laowai?" Shen Siyuan almost staggered.

He naturally knew who Zhang Laowai was, because Zhang Laowai's son Zhang Haibo was his classmate, and because Zhang Laowai had a crooked mouth, they gave Zhang Haibo the nickname Xiao Laowai.

Because of this nickname, Zhang Haibo has often been involved in fights with others. If it were today, he would at least be considered a crooked-mouthed dragon king.

The two families were not far from each other and belonged to the same Qingshui Town, so from elementary school to junior high school, they both studied in the same school.

So not only did the two of them know each other, but they also had a good relationship, so Shen Siyuan had naturally met his sister.

The impression I have is that she is a dark, skinny, snotty girl. Is this the Shui Ling that Aunt Qi mentioned?

But we're already halfway there, I can't just say no, I'd better meet him first.

At this time, I heard Aunt Qi, who was sitting in the back, say, "Aunt Qi introduced three people to her. You will meet her for the last time today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Siyuan thought to himself, it’s already like this, and you still want me to go? What if someone likes the one in front? Wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
But then I heard what Aunt Seven said.

"The first two weren't as good looking as you, and their conditions weren't as good as yours. Aunt Qi did it on purpose, letting her meet the two ugly ones first. Once she meets you, she'll have a better chance of success."

Wow, he even used some tricks to arrange a blind date.

"Thank you, Aunt Qi. I'm sorry for your worry." Shen Siyuan said.

"It's okay. I have nothing to do with your mother." Aunt Qi said with a smile.

Why does this sound like an insult?

When they arrived at Shiqiao Village, Shen Siyuan went to Zhang Laowai's house with ease.

Aunt Qi saw this and asked, "Do you know Zhang Laowai's family?"

"His son and I are classmates." Shen Siyuan said.

"Oh, that's great. If you like the girl, you can get married to her." Aunt Qi said.

Shen Siyuan looked embarrassed, how could this be considered a closer relationship?

Don't let Zhang Haibo find out and act like I treat you as my brother and you're trying to date my sister. Just beat him up.

But speaking of it, he and Zhang Haibo haven't seen each other for many years.

Although they were from neighboring villages not far from each other, the two had rarely seen each other since high school.

"Is Zhang Haibo, the son of Zhang Laowai, at home today?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"He's not at home, but I heard that his son is very successful now and has made a fortune in the Coconut Market." Aunt Seven said, glancing at him.

Aunt Qi, what are you looking at?
Shen Siyuan felt that he was being despised.
