Chapter 44
Ying Huai really wondered if this matter was Tang Yi's secret effort, but he heard someone in his ear: "Sister, what kind of place is Shangwutang?"
It turned out that Li Huo came running, sat next to her, and asked with a blank eye.
Ying Huaizhen glanced at him with a smile and said, "Did my aunt teach you a lesson?"
Li Huo touched his head and smiled: "I didn't fight, I only scolded a few words, telling me not to sneak away in the future." I also made a note of ...... You just tell me quickly, what kind of place is this Shangwu Hall, okay?"
Ying Huaizhen listened to his question, but lowered his head and did not answer.
Li Huo was in a hurry, so he urged and asked again.
After a while, Ying Huaizhen said to him: "This is the place where some noble sons in the capital learn martial arts...... However, it is not just about learning martial arts, but also about reading, it's just that the teaching of martial arts is stronger than other places...... "practical" and "stronger" is not true, this should be the top military attache school in Dashun.
When Li Huo heard this, he was really fascinated and said, "Can I go?"
Ying Huaizhen lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Do you want to go in your heart?"
Li Huo scratched his head again and said, "The general is so mighty, if I go, will I be able to become a person like him in the future?"
When Ying Huaizhen heard this, he somehow felt a little uncomfortable in his heart...... But when you think about it, it doesn't make sense: is this clearly a good thing?
First, for a powerful person like Meng Feixiong, this is Li Huo's creation, and secondly, not everyone can enter the Shangwu Hall, if it weren't for Meng Feixiong to say, with Li Huo's background, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to touch the door of the Shangwu Hall.
Moreover, Ying Huaizhen thought about Meng Feixiong carefully, but found that he had no impression of him.
However, although he has no impression, judging from his actions, this person is actually a good man with a fiery personality, if Li Huo has him as a backer, wouldn't it be the luck of a treasure falling from the sky?
But despite all these reasons, those who should be sincere but always hesitate are always unsure.
She pondered the reason, but she couldn't find any reason, just an inexplicable feeling. From the first time I saw Meng Feixiong in the carriage, this feeling was not very good, and even when I thought of his name, my heart would tense for no reason, and it seemed to be faintly ...... Fear?
It's really weird.
Ying Huaizhen slapped her forehead helplessly, every time at this time, she would regret why she didn't pay more attention to the things around her in her previous life, once she was in the whirlpool of all the battles in Dashun, if she wanted to pay a little attention, I am afraid that there is no news that she can't get, and there is no person she doesn't know.
But in addition to the transcendent things that are protected, she herself is more self-satisfied, and she knows very little about the outside world, but the most proficient is nothing more than flower arrangement, tea making, poetry and kung fu, and dressing up, as if there are only two people in the whole Dashun, she and Ling Jue, and her world is full of the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the two of them.
Looking back now, I really want to go back to that time and strangle myself to death at that time!
Ying Huaizhen hugged his head and was silent, but Li Huo couldn't wait, pushed her shoulder, and kept asking: "Sister, do you think I should go?" Why don't you speak?"
Ying Huaizhen couldn't be urged, so he had to cheer up and said, "Do you want to go yourself?" Besides, you can discuss it with your uncle and aunt...... Ask your grandmother again to see what they think, and if they all agree, you will be happy to do so...... Just go for it. ”
When Li Huo heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed! He screamed, he couldn't wait for a moment, so he jumped up and went to Li Xing to ask.
Let's say that Li Xianshu thought that Meng Feixiong was looking for trouble at first, and she was relieved to see that he beat the Meng family kid away mercilessly, and when she entered the door, Grandma Xu said that Meng Feixiong came to see Li Xing.
Li Xing was originally a person who could fight, although he didn't get any famous teachers to teach him since he was a child, but he was no obstacle to self-preservation, and he also said that if he fought with others, seven or eight men would not be able to get close, so this time he was angry and beat the entourage of those families to pieces.
In fact, he didn't suffer a loss, but he suffered some flesh and skin after being detained by the official uniform: he first ate thirty killings, because those officials also looked at the way they looked at things, and they naturally did not take it lightly......
Meng Feixiong came to see what was going on, and saw Li Xing lying on the bed, knowing that he had hit hard.
Meng Feixiong is a martial artist, and he has more hands than when he moves, and he is impatient and verbose, so he left a silver ingot and said, "I will give you justice." ”
It made Grandma Xu and Li Xing hold their hearts for a long time, until he went out, and the two of them were still staring at each other in the house, a little confused.
Who knew that as soon as Meng Feixiong went out, he met his nephew who didn't know what to do, and sent it to the door himself, which saved him from going again.
Li Xianshu saw Li Xing's injury, and cursed again, and no one from the Meng family and the Yamen were spared.
Grandma Xu smiled: "Hurry up, the horizontal and vertical are just some flesh wounds, and they don't hurt the muscles and bones...... But this General Meng is really a benevolent, righteous and loyal person, a big official like him, he came to see it himself, not to mention, and gave this silver, although we suffered a loss, but we can't get other people's silver for nothing, do you want to think of a way to send it back?"
Li Xing also said: "When I saw him come in, I thought he was here to provoke, but I didn't expect that he was such a benevolent and good person!
Li Xianshu thought for a while and said: "Mother, you can keep the silver, since someone has such an identity, since it is given, where is the reason to take it back, and we don't even know where he lives...... What's more, my brother has suffered this grievance, of course, I have to buy some good health maintenance!"
When Grandma Xu heard this, she carefully wrapped the silver in a handkerchief and put it in the cabinet.
At this time, Li Xing's family finished training Li Huo, and they also entered the door, Li Xianshu saw that her eyes were red, so she got up with a smile, saluted first, and said, "Sister-in-law has also been wronged, I'm afraid it's not light." ”
Li Xingjia smiled, a little shy, and when he saw Li Xianshu standing, he didn't dare to sit, but just stood and said: "I'm a person with little knowledge, and I naturally panicked when I encountered something, thanks to my sister and brother-in-law's efforts, otherwise the sky would have fallen." As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.
Li Xianshu hurriedly calmed down a few words, and then said with a smile: "Why should a family talk about two families! Sister-in-law, don't worry, tell me that this matter is not necessarily a bad thing! What is such a sentence called...... A place of blessing and misfortune...... What's going on?"
Li Xing said: "Where do you rely on the blessings and woes?" He is also a person who has read books for a few years, and he is busy asking the reason.
Li Xianshu first recounted what Meng Feixiong said outside, Li Xing was shocked and asked, "Did he really say that......?" Let Tuwa'er enter the Shangwu Hall?"
Li Xianshu didn't know much about what "Shangwutang" was, but it was always Meng Feixiong's mouth...... It won't be the low-level bad place, so he said: "Isn't it? Tuwa'er, that stupid boy, I don't know how to answer, it was Ah Zhen who said it...... I have to consult with you before I can get back to him. ”
Saying that, Li Xianshu smiled at Grandma Xu and said: "Mother, look at your precious granddaughter, just outside, more than 100 people looked at General Meng, they were all scared like a wooden man, no one dared to talk to him, or your granddaughter, she answered smartly, and said so decently...... I was stunned when I saw that General Meng, it's not that I'm boasting, it's really giving people a long face!"
Grandma Xu also smiled, clapped her hands happily and said, "That's right, I said that my real brother is different!"
Li Xing was speechless for a long time, and Li Xianshu asked, "Why doesn't my brother speak?"
Li Xing came back to his senses and said categorically: "How can you not like this? I don't even have to think about it, if this Lord Meng opens the golden mouth...... Just tell Tuwa'er to go immediately!"
The people in the room listened, but before they could speak, someone outside shouted, "Dad, you have agreed! I can go to Shangwutang!"
It turned out that Li Huo wanted to come to discuss with his father, and he was still worried in his heart, but when he arrived at the door, he heard this inside, and when he heard that Li Xing had agreed, he was so overjoyed that he ran in and threw himself into Li Xing's arms.
Li Xing hugged him tightly, his eyes were a little moist, and said: "It's really like what your eldest aunt said, maybe this is really a blessing in disguise, if you can go to Shangwutang, you will have a chance in the future, even if your father and I are killed this time, we are willing!"
Li Xianshu listened dumbfounded, and when she heard the words, she scolded with a smile: "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about, bah, good luck!"
When Li Xing's family saw Li Xing like this, they also knew that their son had an excellent place to go, and they couldn't help but cry with joy.
At this moment, as soon as the curtain was raised, two people walked in one after the other, and when they saw the situation inside, the one in front said, "What's the matter?"
The goose egg face in front, thin lips, slightly raised eyebrows, and fair complexion is Li Xianshu's third sister Qiaoling, and the girl who followed behind her is Ailing who has followed Grandma Xu to Taizhou before, because Meng Feixiong rushed into the door, and the two girls didn't know what was going on, so they all hid.
When Li Xianshu saw her sisters coming, she couldn't help but laugh again, and Qiao Ling quipped: "My sister has returned to Beijing, and she won't come back to see us often, don't just care about being your official wife and forget about your sisters!"
Li Xianshu knew that she had always been sharp-tongued and unwilling to let people, so she smiled silently.
Grandma Xu said: "Don't you know that there are many people and many things in their house? ”
Qiao Ling snorted: "Sister hasn't spoken yet, mother, you protect it first, lest you offend her?" Or is she now the second grandmother of the Guogong Mansion, and our sisters are inferior to her?"
Before Grandma Xu could speak, Li Xianshu smiled and said: "Don't talk about it, why did I vaguely hear that you are also going to get married? Are you also an official? If you marry yourself and are also an official's wife, your mother will definitely not dare to offend." ”
When Qiao Ling heard this, her face was slightly red, and she spitted out: "I'm sorry to say! I wanted you to help you get an idea when you go home, but unexpectedly, it's all like this, one or two, and when you get married, you won't see anyone." ”
Grandma Xu smiled: "You only remember what you said, and you won't see anyone in the future." ”
Qiao Ling snorted again: "Come and restrain me? ”
When Lee Hyun-sook saw her say this, she asked, "Why hasn't Mi-sook come back these days?"
Grandma Xu didn't squeak, and Li Xing's family didn't squeak, but still Qiaoling said: "Don't mention her, just like growing up in their family, she is dead, and she hasn't brought anything good back since she got married! That's it, this time her brother had an accident, she only came back in a hurry to take a look, and she didn't think about anything, she didn't do anything, she left immediately!
Grandma Xu coughed, and Li Xianshu understood, so she only excused herself: "I'm afraid she has the heart to contribute...... Her family can't do anything, so don't blame her. Yes, mother, is it okay for Meishu to be at home?"
Grandma Xu sighed: "It's only been more than a year since I got married, and the newlywed Yan'er can see what is good or not." ”
Qiao Ling rolled her eyes, but said, "Don't worry about her, people are fine! Otherwise, why wouldn't you even go home?"
Li Xianshu shook her head with a smile, seeing that Ailing was still silent, Xu couldn't interject, so she pulled her out and said: "Ailing has grown taller again, but this dress is a little plain, mother, I brought a few horses back, you pick up the fresh tricks and make two bodies for Ailing." ”
Because there are many sisters in the Li family, Ailing is wearing all the old clothes of her sisters, and she is naturally very happy when she hears that Li Xianshu gave her a new one.
Ailing was really happy, so she said, "Thank you, eldest sister." ”
Qiao Ling pouted, "Why do you just think about her?"
Li Xianshu said: "Yours is also indispensable, and there are also Meishu and sister-in-law, there are five or six good horses, you can pick and choose by yourself." ”
Qiao Ling was overjoyed, pulled Ailing along, and the two slipped out.
Li Xianshu knew that she was busy picking up materials, so she only said to Grandma Xu: "Qiaoling's mouth is still so sharp, what kind of person is she promised?
Grandma Xu sighed again and said, "What kind of official, it sounds good, it's the son of the chief in the next village, and it hasn't been decided yet, next month is the auspicious day of the zodiac, let's see." ”
Li Xianshu said: "So that's the case, but I'm happy to see Qiaoling." ”
Grandma Xu said: "You know that she has always had a high heart, but that's it, in our family, can we still have another one to marry the princess of the country? Even if you really hit the luck, you can't find a good person like your uncle, and you can't pick one out of a hundred, but you can't pick one out of a million." ”
Li Xianshu was naturally happy when she heard Grandma Xu praise Ying Lanfeng, but when she saw that the door curtain moved, she was afraid that Qiao Ling would hear it, Qiao Ling was a multi-hearted person, and she would inevitably cause trouble.
So Li Xianshu coughed hurriedly, blinked and said, "Mother, how can you say this, let my sister-in-law listen to the joke." ”
Grandma Xu knew the opportunity, and the two of them smiled and diverted the conversation again.
Lee Hyun-sook stayed at home for two days, and although the sisters occasionally quarreled, they were also happy, and she brought some fabrics, jewelry, cakes, etc., so everyone rejoiced.
It was almost noon on the second day, and the Li sisters were sitting around the house, and Ying Huaizhen was also sitting on the kang to play, when she suddenly heard the maid outside say, "The second lady is back." ”
When Qiao Ling heard this, she snorted and didn't move, Li Xianshu got up and went out, and sure enough, Li Meishu brought a maid into the door.
When the two sisters saw it, they shook hands and entered the house, but when Qiao Ling saw each other, she immediately said, "Why are you coming back again?"
Meishu also refused to let people, and said, "Why don't you want me to go home and take a look? When is it up to you to call the shots in this house?"
Qiao Ling said: "Why didn't you beg you when my brother had an accident? Now that I dare to come back when I see that I have nothing to do, I still say! Hengzhi now you only have the family surnamed Yu in your eyes, where do you put us in your eyes." ”
Mei Shu said: "Didn't I come back? I just can't help for fear of staying and causing trouble, saying that I only have people in their family, and you have to set a family, and when you get married, I'll see what your situation is, I'm afraid that there is no one else in my eyes than me!"
Li Xianshu hurriedly mediated: "One person should not say a word! Don't quarrel as soon as you meet, what kind of words are you!"
When the two of them saw her speak, they stopped, Ying Huaizhen was busy calling "Second Aunt", Li Meishu looked at her and praised a flower.
Qiao Ling saw that she had brought back two packets of pastries, so she was picky again, pouted and said, "Your family also has a shop, and there are no good things, so only bring this thing when you come back!"
Meishu's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Although I have a shop, how long have I been married, can I move back in the whole way?"
Seeing that this posture was about to quarrel again, Li Xianshu hurriedly stopped Meishu and said, "How can you take everything seriously? Don't quarrel with her, after all, she is a year younger than you, so just laugh and laugh...... I brought a few horses back, if you don't dislike it, let my mother bring you one out to make clothes later. ”
Qiao Ling was naturally unconvinced. Mi-sook asked, "What's the good material?" Thank you, eldest sister, for still thinking about us. ”
Qiao Ling rolled her eyes, and suddenly laughed secretly, Meishu had already seen it, so she asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Qiao Ling said: "It's nothing, I just want to say that you are still a day late to come back." ”
Mi-sook asked, "What do you mean by that, and you're scolding me again?"
Qiao Ling smiled: "This is not scolding you, I am happy, the eldest sister brought several pieces of cloth, we have already picked them all yesterday, and the remaining two are for you...... I think you're going to be upset. ”
Mei Shu said: "Am I not happy that there is still mine in Hengzhi? Who is as careful as you." ”
Qiao Ling was triumphant and said, "When you were at home, you didn't compete to grab things from me, but if I loved, you must also love, and how many times have you fought with me because of this!
Mei Shu was looking at her with hatred, but seeing her so proud, she couldn't help but smile again: "What's the matter, just be happy like that, it's like eating bee feces." ”
Qiao Ling stretched out her hands and pulled to both sides, and said, "There is such bee feces, don't grab it, give it all to me!"
Ying Huaizhen looked at this, looked at that, and couldn't help laughing, it just so happened that Li Xianshu also felt funny, and when she heard her laugh, she also laughed, and after Qiao Ling finished speaking, she also felt funny, so the four sisters, you look at me, I look at you, and they all laughed again.
That night, Mi-sook also stayed at home, and the sisters slept in a room, and talked for half the night, and then they all fell asleep.
Early in the morning of the third day, the government in the capital sent someone to ask the second grandmother to go back.
Li Xianshu also planned to leave early in the morning, so she packed up early, and the family was sent out of the door, and even Li Xing was supported by his wife and propped up out of the door.
When they got on the bus, the four of them were reluctant to get up, looked at each other, and their eyes were red.
Li Xianshu was full of sourness, but still smiled: "I'm happy, it's not that I won't see you in the future, if I have ...... leisure, I'll come back" first hugged Ying Huaizhen into the car, said goodbye to everyone, and got in the car and left ruthlessly.
After about to reach noon, I finally returned home.
Ying Huaizhen had never been separated from Ying Lanfeng for so long, so he only felt that he missed it very much, and as soon as he entered the inner mansion, he put aside Li Xianshu and inquired about Ying Lanfeng's study, so he couldn't wait to run all the way.
Li Xianshu saw that she was running fast again, angry and laughing, and hurriedly told Jixiang to hurry up and keep up, and pay attention to her falling.
Ying Huaizhen ran to the door of the study, and when he saw that the door was open, he shouted "Dad" and hurriedly jumped in.
Who knew that as soon as he looked up, he suddenly saw that in addition to Ying Lanfeng, there was still a person sitting inside, and he was also looking up at her.
Ying Huaizhen met those eyes, which were familiar, strange, and frightened...... When I wanted to jump or not, I tripped over the threshold under my feet, and immediately fell forward, only to hear the sound of "pop", and I actually fell to the ground solidly.
From the time she appeared to the time she fell, it was only a moment's effort, and it was too late to say that it was fast, the man was closer to the door, and he had already gotten up when he saw that the situation was not good, but in the end he was a step late, and he came to the front in a panic, and he helped her up, and he was startled again, but he saw that Ying Huaizhen's nose was red, and his lips seemed to be broken, and blood came out.
It turned out that Fang Ying Huaizhen was unsteady on his feet, and when he fell, he just raised his hand to protect his head, so he might as well break his upper lip.
Suddenly being pulled up, Ying Huaizhen felt like a bee hitting the window lattice, his brain was buzzing, and the words "terrible, terrible" were written all over the circle.
At this moment, Ying Lanfeng was also so frightened that he hurriedly ran over, and checked with the person left and right to see how Ying Huaizhen fell, and seeing that she was silent, he hurriedly asked how it was.
Ying Huai really fell into a daze, the man reached out, his fingers gently pinched her jaw, looked at it carefully, and said comfortingly: "It's not in the way, it's just a little bit of skin, and the teeth are fine......"
When Ying Huaizhen heard this, he was ashamed and ashamed, and his face immediately turned red
