Chapter 16 I Came to Retire
If you marry a girl from such a family background, you will definitely have a lifetime of glory and wealth at your fingertips. What's more, Ouyang Feifei, who has made a baby kiss with him, certainly looks good, as can be seen from the pungent girl she met just now who called herself Ouyang Feifei's younger sister.
Although Luo Ziling didn't like the girl just now, he had to admit that she was pretty pretty.
"Grandpa, why do you want me to do such a cruel thing to myself?" He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"What if I came here today not to withdraw the engagement, but to propose a marriage?" Luo Ziling's heart jumped wildly when this thought came up.
While Luo Ziling was thinking wildly, the man in black who had just reported came out, followed by a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing who looked to be in his fifties. Seeing Luo Ziling, the middle-aged man quickly walked a few steps and saluted Luo Ziling: "Master Luo, please come inside!"
This middle-aged man is Jin Guoqiang, the steward of Ouyang's family. He came to meet Luo Ziling in person under the orders of old man Ouyang.
After Luo Ziling thanked him, he followed Jin Guoqiang into the courtyard with a very calm step.
This villa is completely built in imitation of Jiangnan gardens.
After entering the door, there is a rockery. Behind the rockery is a large garden. In the middle of the garden is a large pool. There are many lotus roots and water lilies in the pool, and groups of koi swim in the water. There is a winding bridge in the middle of the pool, and there are rockeries and pavilions in the middle of the bridge. There are also several rockeries of different shapes beside the pool. On both sides of the garden are Chaoshou verandahs, and the open space beside the garden and verandas is planted with various precious trees and flowers.
Although it is already autumn, there are still many kinds of flowers blooming in the garden.
Those who build such a garden and live in it should be people with great taste, and the people who live in it should not be ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Luo Ziling's heart twitched again, once again feeling depressed about his mission today.
What's worse, when Luo Ziling was depressed, Jin Guoqiang, who led the way, smiled and said a few words that made him even more mad: "The past few years, the master has been thinking about Mr. Luo and Mr. Luo, and has been waiting for you to come to propose marriage." .Now it’s all right, you’re finally here, so he doesn’t have to worry about anything. The master has already called the lady, and she will be back in a while. According to the master, you met when you were young?”
"Yes, Ouyang Feifei and I met when we were young." Luo Ziling could only ignore Jin Guoqiang's previous words and answer the question behind him, "But that was when I was very young, and I was only five years old at that time."
"Then we are childhood sweethearts with our young lady." Jin Guoqiang grinned happily, and then looked back at Luo Ziling, "Master Luo is so handsome, he really matches our young lady."
Luo Ziling became more and more depressed, and simply stopped talking.
When following Jin Guoqiang into the main hall of the main building, Luo Ziling saw an old man with slightly white beard and hair and a good complexion sitting on a chair drinking tea. Seeing him coming in, Luo Ziling immediately looked over with energetic eyes.
"Master," Jin Guoqiang bowed, pointed at Luo Ziling behind him, and said, "Master Luo is here."
"Luo Ziling has seen Grandpa Ouyang, and he took the liberty to visit today. Excuse me." Luo Ziling quickly stepped forward to salute, and then showed the gift he brought, "This is the gift that Grandpa asked me to bring to you. It was prepared by him. Health-preserving medicine."
"Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you, Brother Luo," Ouyang Lingyun stood up, took the box that Luo Ziling handed over to him personally, looked at Luo Ziling, and laughed loudly, "I haven't seen you for many years, son Ling Du has grown into a strong boy, is your grandfather still in good health?"
"Grandpa has always been in good health. Over the years, he often went out to see patients and ran around," Luo Ziling said with a little coyness: "He also told me that if I see Grandpa Ouyang, I will help you to have a medical examination on his behalf."
"Haha, Brother Luo is still thoughtful,
I won't say thank you anymore," Ouyang Lingyun looked at Luo Ziling lovingly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "I'll see you when Feifei comes back later. "
As soon as he heard Ouyang Lingyun say that Ouyang Feifei would be back soon, Luo Ziling couldn't help jumping wildly in his heart, opened his mouth, wanted to say something but couldn't.
Ouyang Lingyun personally put away the gift from Luo Ziling and did not hand it over to Jin Guoqiang. After putting it away, he returned to the seat just now and sat down.
Luo Ziling also sat down, sitting across the table from Ouyang Lingyun.
The architectural style of this villa is very traditional Chinese ancient style, and the furniture inside is also the same. Luo Ziling likes this style very much.
What's worse is that Ouyang Lingyun has been looking at him with loving eyes, very similar to the way his grandfather Luo Linsheng looked at him.
This made him even more troubled, and he felt that he almost lost the courage to propose a divorce.
Jin Guoqiang personally served Luo Ziling tea, and then stepped aside.
"Zi Ling, did you come to Yanjing specifically for Feifei's affairs?" Seeing that Luo Ziling was a bit reserved, Ouyang Lingyun took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"Grandpa asked me to study in Yanjing," Luo Ziling replied honestly.
"study?"
"Well," Luo Ziling nodded, "He asked me to study medicine, Yenching University School of Medicine majoring in clinical medicine."
"Clinical medicine? Isn't that studying Western medicine?" Ouyang Lingyun showed an expression of disbelief after hearing Luo Ziling's words, "Your grandfather's medical skills are so good, he is a genius doctor in the world, why do you want to study medicine?"
"Grandpa said that both Chinese and Western medicine have shortcomings. If they can integrate both Chinese and Western medicine, then it will be a great success in medicine," Luo Ziling explained with a blushing face, and then muttered: "Grandpa also said, let me come to Yanjing to see you." Seeing the world, you can't stay in that small mountain village all the time."
"Oh, I see!" Ouyang Lingyun suddenly realized, and Jier was overjoyed.
Mr. Luo didn't want Luo Ziling to study western medicine, but just wanted to send his grandson to Yanjing in this way.
"Grandpa Ouyang, I'm here today for a very important matter." Seeing Ouyang Lingyun's cheerful look, Luo Ziling finally plucked up his courage and was about to talk about business.
"You can just say whatever you want," Ouyang Lingyun still looked very kind, and looked at Luo Ziling with encouraging eyes, "I will definitely agree to your request."
Luo Linsheng must have sent this little guy to propose marriage.
"Grandpa Ouyang, I...I'm not here to propose marriage," after courageously saying this, Luo Ziling said the following words with great difficulty: "I'm here to annul the engagement, and grandpa ordered me to annul the engagement !"
After telling his purpose, Luo Ziling felt that all his strength was exhausted.
