Huo Feng just stood quietly for a long time without speaking.

Jing Gang scratched his head and thought for a while, and then persuaded: "Miss Huo, I actually admire you very much, a girl's family, dare to lead a group of women's army to fight, there are many ladies in the world, but there are very few female generals, you really don't need to force yourself, isn't it better to find a man who knows how to appreciate you?"

"Brother Jing, have you ever had someone you like?" Huo Feng continued to be silent for a long time, then suddenly looked up at Jing Gang and asked such a sentence.

"No, I'm a rough person, and I won't have the same feelings as your young lady. After Jing Gang finished speaking, he saw Huo Feng's expression, so you won't understand, and hurriedly added, "Even if you don't understand, there is one thing I can still know, people can't just take care of themselves, regardless of other people's feelings, Miss Huo, you have caused trouble to Marshal Zhao like this, do you know?"

Huo Feng's face suddenly turned red, and said, "The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, what's wrong with me?"

"This ...... I can't say it well, but Marshal Zhao obviously doesn't mean this, you do this, let the people around you say that you are a good girl, and persuade Marshal Zhao to marry you together, which is equivalent to everyone forcing the marshal, is it right?" Jing Gang looked at Huo Feng, and then persuaded, "Of course, it's not your fault, to put it simply, it's all my fault, I'm a rough person, a thief, sometimes I don't care about the occasion, it's my cheap mouth, I'm talking nonsense to you, let you misunderstand, it's me who is not good, I beat my mouth." ”

Jing Gang said that he was about to fan himself.

"Brother Jing......" Huo Feng wanted to stop Jing Gang, but he thought that men and women would not kiss. I stopped.

Jing Gang slapped himself twice, and then said: "Miss Huo, I'm a rough person, and I won't make any big senses, but Marshal Zhao really doesn't mean to marry, you ...... It's tantamount to forcing him to persuade everyone to marry you, which is really bad. ”

Huo Feng lowered his head, and only after a long time did he raise his head and ask, "Does Marshal Zhao really have someone he likes, what does the person he likes look like, where is she now?"

Jing Gang breathed a sigh of relief. Huo Feng is a bold woman after all. will not be like some stingy women, crying and shouting that they are willing to be a maid for Zhao Boyang, which is really embarrassing, since Huo Feng has no twisting and pinching. He also said truthfully: "What I said before is true. But Miss Huo. I really don't mean anything else by this, don't be careful...... After all, this matter is related to the reputation of other women, and you can't talk nonsense everywhere, right? I can only say that Marshal Zhao does have someone he likes. As for what it looks like, I don't know that girl well, I'm a rough person, and I can't tell, but everyone is from a beautiful background, very smart, good-looking, empathetic, kind-hearted......"

"Then she and Marshal Zhao...... Why didn't we be able to be together?" Huo Feng still couldn't help asking, and pondered for a long time, "Is it the county lord who was engaged to Marshal Zhao in the first place?" ”

"I said, I really don't know this, Marshal Zhao is a person, and he won't go around telling people about his private affairs. Jing Gang was vague, but he wasn't lying, it was that Zhao Boyang really didn't really admit that he liked Miss Su in front of him, although he knew.

Thinking of Miss Su Jiu, she is kind-hearted and righteous, but sometimes she is quite stubborn, even paranoid, she helped Zhao Boyang to make a comeback, but she always hid behind others, and after Zhao Boyang gained a firm foothold, she quietly left, making Zhao Boyang almost decadent again.

It is also a shame that Zhao Boyang is a person who has gone through great ups and downs, and knows that decadence and depression will not help, so he turned all his energy to military affairs.

Although he is a rough person and his mind is not so sensitive, he can still perceive that Zhao Boyang still likes Miss Su Jiu, and other women will not take it seriously, and he may think that one day, he can meet Miss Su Jiu again......

"It must be her. Huo Feng muttered, "Marshal Zhao originally asked for a holy decree for her, and he must have liked her very much if he didn't accept concubines for the rest of his life." ”

"Maybe. "Jing Gang remembered that he had gone to ask Xiucai, who was the best at cheating girls in the cottage before, how to make a woman die, Xiucai said a lot of literary crepe words with a flamboyant mouth, he couldn't understand it, he didn't need it, Huo Feng was not a girl who read a lot, and he didn't want to listen to those literary crepe words, so he said directly, " Miss Huo, you like Marshal Zhao, it's not wrong, it's just that you have to think about the marshal, you have done so much to move the brothers around you, and you have tried to persuade the marshal to marry you, and your father and mother are even more worried, isn't this forcing the marshal?

"No, I didn't think so, I just changed myself and pleased someone I liked, is this wrong?" Huo Feng was also very aggrieved in his heart.

"But the marshal is not wrong, it doesn't mean that a girl likes her, she really pays, and she tries her best to change, and he has to accept it. Jing Gang thought about it again and again, thinking of the bunch of words Xiucai said about his children's private affairs, among which he didn't remember many sentences, and he couldn't say that there were just a few words that came and went.

Huo Feng had another expression on his face that you wouldn't understand.

Jing Gang had no choice but to say, "Just like Miss Huo, in fact, there are not a few men in the army who like you, is it because he has made a lot of efforts? You will accept it? Push yourself and others, and the same is true for Marshal Zhao, even if he finally agrees to marry you, it is not because he likes you, it may be because he sympathizes with you, pity you, or respects your father, are you willing? Even if you are willing, don't you feel that the marshal is forced to marry a woman he doesn't like, and he is not wronged?"

Huo Feng's face turned red again, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, was Jing Gang saying that she was shameless?

Jing Gang is a little rude, but he doesn't have a face at all, seeing that Huo Feng's expression is really not good, he quickly stopped talking and said: "Miss Huo, think about it, people shouldn't only care about themselves, you have to think about others, for example, your father, when I came, your mother looked at me very badly, I think she was worried about you." ”

After Jing Gang left.

Huo Feng was still standing alone on the hillside blowing the wind.

The afternoon was sunny, but the wind was strong on the hillside, and she felt cold all over her body until Mrs. Huo came to her.

Mrs. Huo looked at her daughter when she saw her. Knowing that his daughter was hit, he didn't ask what Jing Gang said, he only gently held his daughter's hand and said softly, "Let's go back to the house." ”

Determined a few words, perhaps because the tone was too gentle, which made Huo Feng feel even more aggrieved, and he couldn't help crying out and fell into his mother's arms.

Mrs. Huo gently hugged her daughter and comforted: "Don't be sad, it will pass." No big deal. ”

Huo Feng cried aggrievedly: "Why, why can't Marshal Zhao like me?"

"Silly boy. What kind of stupid thing are you talking about?" Mrs. Huo took off her cloak, criticized her daughter, and sighed, "Why does Marshal Zhao like you? Is it because you are infatuated? Because you have a father who is his right-hand man? Or because you are beautiful. Gentle and considerate? Think about Miss Wu. She's not also very infatuated. She didn't work hard to learn the rules like you, but she knew that she couldn't be the marshal's wife. I'd rather not have a name, but also follow the marshal, for a woman, it is also a big sacrifice, you used to look down on Miss Wu like a weak young lady, but after you like Marshal Zhao, you learn a qiē that you didn't like before, you think this is paying, this is hard work, but in the eyes of others, this is also stupid. ”

"Mother, is this stupid?" Huo Feng didn't believe it, many people still admired her, and supporting her to become the marshal's wife was not the best recognition.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Huo knows that sometimes she has to give her daughter a head-on blow in a timely manner, "Miss Wu speaks softly, she can finish a sentence, she has to say it slowly in three sentences, she eats less than birds, and she has to spend almost an hour cleaning up before going out, from the clothes and hairpins to the rouge color, she really likes to waste her time on these things? With this effort, she can go to the garden for a walk, enjoy the flowers, tease the fish, and do something that can really make her happy." ”

Huo Feng remembered that he had gotten along with Miss Wu a lot, it was indeed as her mother said, and Miss Wu sometimes didn't like this, but there was no way, her father was born in a salt merchant, so he was afraid that others would say that their family was nouveau riche and vulgar, so Miss Wu demanded herself like this, and she didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

In the past, she looked down on Miss Wu, but now that she thinks about it, what is the difference between herself and Miss Wu? In the eyes of some people, she is also pretentious.

Mrs. Huo continued: "I know that your behavior has been approved by many people recently, your father's colleagues, Marshal Zhao's advisors, etc., but you must know that they support you, not because you are likable, but because of the current situation, you are suitable to be Marshal Zhao's wife, and Marshal Zhao at this time should indeed marry a wife, that's all." ”

"In that case, it's not wrong for me to stick to it!" Huo Feng felt that it was perfect for the person he liked to pay.

"Logically speaking, it is true, but there are many things that cannot be said logically. Mrs. Huo thought about it, she should tell her daughter everything thoroughly, lest her daughter have illusions, and said, "The world knows what a person General Zhao is a person with deep affection, and he didn't want to make a great contribution to defending against foreign enemies, but also asked for the holy decree of marrying only one person, I don't know how many girls in the world envy the girl who is about to become a heroic lady, but what is the result?"

"Marshal Zhao, that's for the sake of righteousness. Huo Feng couldn't help but defend his sweetheart, "For the sake of righteousness, sacrificing the personal feelings of children is worthy of admiration." ”

Mrs. Huo sneered, "Those are all high-sounding words, how can the peace between the two countries be maintained by a small marriage? It's just that under the circumstances at that time, if you don't sacrifice this marriage, you have to sacrifice other more things, in contrast, sacrificing a woman's happiness is good for everyone, and there is really no other way at that time? I don't believe it." ”

"No one knows the situation at that time, Marshal Zhao really had a hard time, and he couldn't risk a comeback. Huo Feng continued to speak for Zhao Boyang, "Most people do the same at this time. ”

Mrs. Huo didn't criticize Zhao Boyang's personality too much, but said: "It's just the righteousness of the country or something, my mother sues you for something, what you don't know, or what my mother heard by chance, about Jing Gang, everyone knows that Marshal Zhao rose up, and the brothers of Jing Gang's cottage were the first to follow, and the credit was the greatest, if one day it ...... They are the founding heroes. ”

Of course this daughter knows, so Brother Jing's friendship with Marshal Zhao is deeper than that of others. Huo Feng said and remembered what Jing Gang had just said, it must be what Marshal Zhao meant, Marshal Zhao was rejecting himself euphemistically, and he suddenly felt that his heart was bright.

But many people don't know how Jing Gang fell into the grass. Mrs. Huo said slowly, "Jing Gang was wanted by the government because he broke into the house of a powerful person in the capital with a group of brothers, killed someone, and kidnapped a noblewoman." ”

Huo Feng was stunned for a moment, she knew that Jing Gang was born as a thief, but she always thought that Jing Gang was a good man who robbed the rich and helped the poor, broke into the house of the powerful to kill people, and held a woman hostage, which she never thought about, of course, Jing Gang is not related to her, what kind of person has nothing to do with her, Marshal Zhao is strict in governing the army, under his command, most of the soldiers are in peace, but there are also a small number of scum, and more of them have done things that hurt nature and reason in the past, and now they want to live in a different way.

She didn't quite understand, why did her mother sue her about this, did she want her to have less contact with Jing Gang in the future?

Mrs. Huo listened for a while, and after her daughter had digested this information, she looked into her daughter's eyes and said, "The one who was killed was a boy less than ten years old, and as for the noblewoman who was held hostage, it was Marshal Zhao's previous fiancée, that is, the county lord who was later married to the prince of Great Zhou." ”

"How is this possible?" Huo Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.

Mrs. Huo said: "This is a true thing, I don't believe you can ask Jing Gang or Marshal Zhao directly, I don't agree with some things about the two of them, but I still believe that they are heroes who dare to be heroes, if you ask, they will definitely tell the truth, of course, I believe more, they have hardships, there are reasons to be easily forgiven, but whether they should be forgiven or not, it is not for outsiders to have the final say." ”

……

On the other side, Jing Gang returned to the Marshal's Mansion.

Entering Zhao Boyang's study, he said to Zhao Boyang with a bitter face: "Marshal, in the future, you will let me go into battle to kill the enemy, and even dig channels, move bricks and build city walls, just don't let me deal with women, this is the most painful errand in the world." ”

Zhao Boyang was practicing calligraphy, and when he finished writing a piece of paper, he put down his pen and said lightly: "I don't want you either, how about moving bricks and repairing walls, and letting you practice calligraphy?" (To be continued......)
