The sky is getting colder, and on this day, Ying Huaizhen was on the kang in the house, lying on the table to draw patterns, and a fat raccoon cat was lying on her legs, snoring with her eyes closed.

Ying Huaizhen described for a while, then felt that his hands were a little stiff, and he was rubbing them, when he saw Li Xianshu coming in angrily.

Ying Huaizhen saw that she was annoyed, so he asked what was wrong. Li Xianshu was inconvenient to say anything outside, but now facing her daughter, she was not afraid, so she said: "It's not your two good aunts, I was a little unhappy when the two of them were going to get married, but I couldn't help it, but now it's a mess after all?"

It turned out that the two sisters of the Li family, the second sister Meishu and the third sister Qiaoling, one married Shaodong from the pawn shop of Yujia in Sweetwater Lane. At the beginning, Grandma Xu also deliberately discussed with Li Xianshu in Taizhou for this matter.

The third sister Qiaoling, originally a son of Lizheng in the village of Youxian County, the year before last, Li Xianshu took Ying Huaizhen back to her parents' house, and said that the matter was coming, but not long after they returned to Beijing, Grandma Xu sent a message: The family affair actually failed.

Li Xianshu was naturally taken aback, and after asking carefully, she found out: It turned out that another man came to propose marriage, but that person was on an errand in Youxian County, although he was in charge of prison, but he was an official, but he was a little more decent than the son of Li Zheng.

Originally, Grandma Xu was unwilling, but she couldn't help Qiao Ling's own heart, and she made trouble at home, determined to break off with the previous son of Li Zheng, and to change this little official called "Lu Bo".

In the end, there is no way, I got married after the New Year, and my life was harmonious at first, but later I saw that the two old people of the Lu family were very powerful, and they disliked Qiao Ling's maiden family as a businessman, and they only felt that their son really couldn't pick people, so they were dissatisfied and picky everywhere, and beat and scolded every now and then.

And Qiao Ling is not a master who allows others to take care of the slaughter, and began to endure it for the sake of face, and after a long time, she simply quarreled with the two old ones, and the two sides quarreled for three days, so Lu Bo was sandwiched in the middle, and the two sides were just comforted.

The following year, Qiao Ling gave birth to a son, and I thought that the two old ones would look up to her because of this, but the two of them were still the same, making Qiao Ling half angry.

It's okay, but this year, Lu Bo was sued because of a lawsuit entanglement, and the other party was a little powerful, so after thinking about it, he could only ask Li Xianshu for help.

Li Xianshu only wanted to ignore it because she already had a problem in her heart, and Ying Lanfeng was not in Beijing, and this matter was outside, which was beyond the scope of what she could manage, so she didn't want to pay attention to it.

Comparatively speaking, the situation on Meishu's side is better, except that the kid from the Yu family began to die again, provoking a few romantic sons, Meishu made trouble a few times and didn't listen, so she had to endure it, but every time she went back to her parents' house, she still complained to Grandma Xu.

Li Xianshu said about Qiaoling, Ying Huaizhen touched the tanuki's oily and slippery fur, and said: "It's good for my mother to ignore it, anyway, it's not that we don't want to pay attention to this matter, but we can't manage it, if my father is at home now, it's easy to say, let my father go and inquire, my father is not here now, if my mother asks the people below to do it, it is difficult to ensure that they take the opportunity to make trouble...... Instead, more incidents will arise. ”

Li Xianshu sighed, if she really put her hands down, she was a little unbearable. Ying Huaizhen understood, so he said again: "I have been watching it for a long time, the third uncle is a caring person, and he is good to us, and he has always acted steadily...... It's better to talk to him secretly, so that he can help him, just help, just don't embarrass him. ”

When Li Xianshu heard this, she was overjoyed, clapped her hands and said, "Why didn't I think of it? ”

Ying Zhuyun has always been in the capital, and he is very familiar with all parts of the upper and lower departments, this matter is indeed the most suitable for him, and he is not the kind of person who blindly bullies the weak, he is reasonable, has always been proper, and has always respected Li Xianshu, he is really the best candidate.

Li Xianshu's eyes lit up, and she was about to leave, when suddenly the maid reported: "Uncle cousin is here." ”

While speaking, Guo Jianyi walked in and stepped forward to greet Li Xianshu.

Li Xianshu looked at him, and saw that he was much more generous and moisturized than before, and secretly praised him in his heart, so he gossiped with him a few words, because he was thinking about finding Ying Zhuyun, and he didn't stay for a long time, and went out after saying a few words.

Ying Huaizhen had already gotten off the kang, and the tanuki lost its caress and saw someone coming, so he also jumped off the ground and went out on tiptoe with his tail cocked.

Guo Jianyi looked at it with a smile and said, "It's more comfortable than people." ”

Ying Huaizhen had already jumped over, deliberately saluted, and said seriously: "Why are you free today?"

It turned out that in the past two years, Guo Jianyi has been promoted from the sixth rank of the Ministry of Labor. Guo Jianyi saw her joking, so he smiled and said: "Tomorrow is off, I will come back earlier today, thinking that I haven't seen you for a while, so I came to have a look." ”

Ying Huaizhen let him sit down, and said with a smile: "It's good now, I still remember to come and see often, in the future, my little cousin's official will get bigger and bigger, but I'm afraid I won't remember me." ”

It seems to be joking in his mouth, but he is not embarrassed in his heart, isn't this how he was in his previous life?

Guo Jianyi is a very perceptive person, and when he heard this, he looked at her expression and asked, "Why do you say that? Is it sincere or false?"

Ying Huaizhen was asked seriously by him, but he didn't know how to answer, so he lowered his head and thought for a while before saying: "I don't know, who can guess what will happen in the future, I just have some ...... Just worry. ”

Guo Jianyi looked at her and said with a smile: "You kid, this temperament has not changed at all, and you always like to think too much." Or is it ...... What gossip have you heard......"

Ying Huaizhen heard him talk about this, but asked suspiciously: "What kind of rumors?"

Guo Jianyi saw that her eyes were clear, so she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'll just say it casually." That's right...... This one is up to you. ”

As he spoke, he took out a pack of things from his sleeve and handed it to Ying Huaizhen.

Ying Huaizhen took it, didn't hurry to open it, and only asked with a smile: "What did you bring again?"

It turns out that in the past two years, every time Guo Jianyi comes to see her, she will bring something with her, or gadgets, or food, always not empty-handed, but every time Ying Huaizhen is surprised, it is rare and very heartwarming.

Guo Jianyi said with a smile: "This is Gui Shengzhai's new sesame pine nut candy, I tasted it and it was not very sweet, I think you should love it." ”

Ying Huaizhen smelled a fragrance early, she lay on the table for a long time, and felt cold, and was about to eat something sweet, but this was like charcoal in the snow, so she smiled and said: "Little cousin, don't be so nice to me." What if you don't treat me well in the future?"

As he spoke, he opened the paper bag on the table, put one in his mouth, and smiled again: "Do you want it?"

Guo Jianyi didn't want to eat it, but when he saw her come forward with one in her hand, her fingers were slender and jade-colored, so he smiled and said, "It's disrespectful." got up and raised his palm to take it, and the pine nut candy fell in the palm of his hand, Guo Jianyi ate it, the sweetness was in his heart, and the room was silent for a moment.

Ying Huaizhen sat on the edge of the kang, hung his legs, and ate three before he lived, Guo Jianyi poured a cup of tea and put it on the table next to her, Ying Huaizhen smiled at him, raised his hand and drank two sips.

Guo Jianyi watched her every move and didn't speak.

Ying Huaizhen saw that he was a little different today, so he smiled and asked, "What does the little cousin think?"

Guo Jianyi came back to his senses and smiled: "Yes, I came to tell you something, I have a colleague who has just returned from the south, and he has met with his second cousin......"

When Ying Huaizhen heard this, he jumped off the ground, held Guo Jianyi's hand and said, "He has seen my father?

Guo Jianyi lowered his eyes and glanced at it, and saw that the little hand was holding his hand tightly, very eager, so he smiled again, raised his eyes and said: "Don't worry, the second cousin is very good, according to the man, although he is a little less clear than before, but the spirit is excellent, the man is full of praise when he speaks, and he can see that he admires the second cousin very much." ”

Ying Huaizhen listened, closed his eyes and raised his head, and first recited "Amitabha", full of relief.

Guo Jianyi said with a smile: "Just tell you together, I heard some chiefs in the ministry talk that if this momentum continues, the second cousin may come back next year, but I can't be sure." ”

Ying Huaizhen was greatly surprised, screamed, covered his mouth with his hands, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Guo Jianyi in disbelief.

When Guo Jianyi saw her like this, he reached out and scraped her nose and said, "What are you doing?"

Ying Huaizhen's eyes were red, he stared at Guo Jianyi for a while, suddenly opened his hand to hug him, jumped to his feet and said, "Great, little cousin!"

Guo Jianyi was stunned for a while, and then raised his hand and gently held it around her waist, only to feel that he couldn't shake it, so he smiled and said: "Silly boy, why do you still look like you when you were a child now? It's not good to hug people casually anymore, my little cousin can't hug you like before now, so you have to avoid it." ”

Ying Huai Zhencai also let go of his hand, but he was still happy and couldn't help himself, jumped on the spot twice, looked up, and muttered with his palms together: "This is really the best news I have heard today!"

Guo Jianyi looked at her smiling like a flower, although she also smiled slightly at the corner of her lips, there was a trace of melancholy in her eyes, she got up and walked to Ying Huaizhen's side, raised her hand, and seemed to want to touch her head.

But the hand stopped in the air for half an hour, but it didn't fall after all, but sighed softly: "Why are you still so small......"

Ying Huaizhen vaguely heard it, so he tilted his head to look at him: "Little cousin, what did you say?"

Guo Jianyi smiled at her and said, "I told you not to be picky eaters, so as not to grow tall all day long, you look at Ying Rui Yingyu." ”

Ying Huaizhen smiled: "Yesterday, the old lady said that I had grown meat, and you came to talk about this." ”

Guo Jianyi shook his head with a smile and said, "Anyway, you have to eat well, grow ......up quickly" Speaking of this, he stopped again, only said a few words of other words, and then left again.

In the evening, Ying Pei also came to eat, and after eating, he gossiped with Ying Huaizhen, and when he heard that Guo Jianyi had come, he said casually: "The little cousin is amazing now, and even King Su is very blue-eyed...... He even said that he intended to marry the lord of the county to him. ”

Ying Huaizhen was stunned when he heard this.

Ying Pei smiled again: "However, the county lord is only twelve years old now, so naturally he can't talk about marriage, but it is true that many people have gone to the Guo family to propose marriage in the past two years, and I don't know what our cousin will be like in the future?"

Ying Huaizhen listened, and remembered Guo Jianyi's occasional unruly appearance during the day, but he didn't know if it had anything to do with this?

She had thought about it when she had nothing to do, but she didn't remember that Guo Jianyi had said that she was close in her previous life, because later he gradually moved away from the Ying Mansion, and as for what happened around him, naturally it was even more unknown.

Ying Pei said again: "Speaking of my little cousin, I remembered that I met with Tuwa yesterday, and he said that Tang Sangongzi, who is your 'Uncle Tang', will come back at the end of the year at the latest, have you heard?"

Ying Huai really pondered about Guo Jianyi, so he said: "Chunhui just told me." ”

Ying Pei smiled: "It's good that he doesn't tell me this news, but he will tell you soon...... I don't know what happened to Master Tang, but it's still so beautiful and admirable?"

Ying Huai's heart moved, and suddenly he remembered another thing, so he didn't answer.

Ying Pei saw that she seemed to be in a trance, and was afraid that she was sleepy, so she let her rest early and retreated by herself.

It was night, Ying Huaizhen was lying on the bed/, and in the flowers and plants under the window lattice outside, the autumn insects were still cold, still making a weak chirping, as if desolate.

The last time when her poisoning life was hanging by a thread, Ying Huaizhen remembered a lot of things that she thought she had forgotten, and afterwards she carefully sorted out what she remembered, and she didn't have a clue at first.

Until Xiao Tang left, Ying Huaizhen and Min Li became friends, and after going back and forth, they learned from Min Li that Xiao Tang had wanted to marry Lin **.

When I was in a coma last time, I saw Ying Lanfeng in my previous life and wanted to attend Xiao Tang's wedding, and said to her, "That Tang San's young grandmother is also amazing", and Xiao Tang was also married for a long time in his previous life, and he didn't get married until he was twenty-six years old...... Gradually, these two things seem to come together.

Ying Huai sincerely thought: The amazing young grandmother that Xiao Tang married in his previous life naturally has no one else, it is Lin **.

Lin Shenzhou plays a pivotal role in the DPRK and China, and is so respected by Ying Lanfeng, of course, plus Lin Shenzhou is Xiao Tang's mentor, Xiao Tang and Lin ** have known each other since childhood, and at this moment the two families have this meaning, this family affair is like an iron nail, naturally there is no running.

Ying Huaizhen tossed and turned, his eyes rolled in the dark, and he thought, "If I see Sister Lin again in the future, I will stammer......

Suddenly, I remembered that Lin ** was so sharp and unwilling to forgive, and couldn't help laughing again: "If Uncle Tang marries Lin Xiao/Sister in the future, and the two of them get along, I don't know what the situation is?" Thinking of Lin **'s coquettish state, and recalling Xiao Tang's solemn appearance of not smiling in his previous life, he only felt interesting, turned over and fell asleep.

I slept like this until midnight, and suddenly I became uneasy and screamed faintly.

Jixiang slept outside her, and when she heard the sound vaguely, she got up to check, but saw Ying Huaizhen lying in the tent, constantly shaking her hands and feet, and crying out of her mouth.

Ji Xiang was startled, and knew that he was stunned, so he grabbed Ying Huaizhen's arm and shouted, "Girl, girl, wake up!"

Ying Huaizhen shouted violently: "Dad!" sat up suddenly, and opened his eyes, but his eyes were full of tears.

Li Xianshu lived in the opposite room, listened to the movement, and got up to check in the morning, Ying Huai was really out of breath, his face was full of sweat and tears, when he saw her, he opened his hand and hugged her tightly, crying: "Mother!"

Lee Hyun-sook was shocked, hugged her and asked, "What's wrong?

Ying Huaizhen nodded tearfully, Li Xianshu took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and asked her what nightmare she had.

As soon as Ying Huaizhen saw her, he wanted to say it immediately, but he didn't say a word in his heart, and only held back his tears and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I dreamed of a tiger chasing me and biting me, I ran around, but I couldn't escape." ”

When Li Xianshu heard this, she laughed, and gently tapped her head and said, "What kind of tiger? It must be that you have nightmares when you sleep with your hands pressed on your chest, and you can sleep neatly in the future." Saying this, he also told Ji Xiang to pay more attention at night, and when he saw that there was no problem, he went back to his room and went to sleep.

Ying Huaizhen only sent Jixiang to sleep, but he sat on the bed, no sleep, his heart was still pounding, looking outside the window The night was like ink, it was still early before dawn, Ying Huaizhen couldn't wait for the light of day for a while.

Early the next morning, Ying Huaizhen sent someone to find Guo Jianyi, so that he could come to the house immediately, but Guo Jianyi went out of Beijing early in the morning, and the family did not know where he went.

Ying Huaizhen listened to the news, stunned, didn't know what to do, and still felt frightened when he recalled the situation in his dream.

It turned out that Ying Huaizhen really had a nightmare last night, but he didn't chase the tiger, but dreamed of Ying Lanfeng.

It's not a matter of the previous life, but a real dream, but this dream is really terrible, which makes her thrilled, and she wakes up crying from the dream.

Ying Huaizhen dreamed that Ying Lanfeng was in the south, as if it was a big river and was ordering people to build a bridge...... Suddenly, the upper reaches burst the embankment, and a big water roared, and swept Ying Lanfeng in it, he struggled desperately, but he was involuntarily swept up in the water, and disappeared in an instant.

Ying Huaizhen watched this scene on the shore, his heart ached for a moment, and he desperately went to Ying Lanfeng's side, but he couldn't save it, so he woke up crying...... Originally, she wanted to explain to Li Xianshu immediately, but after thinking about it again, saying it at this moment, it would not help to increase her mother's worries and troubles, so she held back.

The next day, I just wanted to find Guo Jianyi, so I could send someone to the south, or inquire carefully, I always wanted to get an exact news, but Guo Jianyi was not in Beijing, which really made Ying Huaizhen helpless.

And on the night when Ying Huaizhen had such a nightmare, in Xiangjun in the south, Ying Lanfeng had indeed experienced a life-and-death catastrophe.

Being fished out of the water, pressing his chest and abdomen, and spitting out a lot of water, Ying Lanfeng woke up faintly, and saw a round moon above his head, as if he was in another world.

Down in the sky, there were several subordinates huddled together, staring at him anxiously, and many voices were shouting to him: "Lord Ying, Lord Ying...... Are you okay?"

Someone else said happily: "Wake up, wake up, fortunately wake up!"

Among the voices of several calls of concern, there was another voice that was different, and actually said: "Don't worry, he can't die, he is destined to die here......" The voice was unfamiliar, and it was a bit weird.

Ying Lanfeng opened his mouth, but spit out another mouthful of water, coughed twice, and Zhaocai helped him to get up and smoothed his back.

Ying Lanfeng was just a little breathing, and suddenly heard the voice of the yin and yang weirdness before and said, "Hey, it's so weird, you are a ...... That's not how it was originally ......"

Ying Lanfeng's eyes were hurt by the river, and in the dark night, he couldn't see who was speaking, only vaguely saw a dark figure shaking in front of him twice, and then shouted in surprise, "Oh! Change your life against the sky! This is not good...... Who is this kind of? I'm afraid that I won't end well!"

From the time this person began to speak, there were already many Ying Lanfeng's entourage and subordinates who were unhappy, but because of the matter of the party, they did not say a word of reprimand, and when they heard this sentence at this moment, they couldn't help it anymore, so they scolded one after another: "Shut up! How can you speak? Dare to curse the adults like this?"
