Chapter 129: Reunion after a long absence

Shen Laibao and Hua Ling guessed the reason, but whether it was really because of this still had to be confirmed. Shen Laibao arranged for some people to inquire carefully, starting with the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei and the people around his niece. With a clue, it seems that there is a solution, and the next thing is to wait for the news to come back.

The shopkeepers wanted to keep them for lunch, but the two remembered their daughter, so they pushed it. When I returned to the mansion, I knew that Nian Nian had not returned to the mansion yet. When he asked his subordinates where they had gone, he replied, "The little one has always known the whereabouts of the adults, and he doesn't dare to ask." ”

The subordinate answered smoothly, which shows that he usually answers like this. Shen Laibao and Hua Ling only smelled a tense breath in the house, which made people unable to fully stretch. I wanted to stay here and wait for my daughter, but in the end I went out and went to the streets and alleys of Jingshi.

After walking more than ten steps, Hua Ling said, "My brother has become less and less like the brother I know." She sighed softly, "No wonder my father doesn't want us to join the ranks, saying that when we enter the officialdom, we can't help ourselves, and we have to change if we don't change." The second brother can become more assertive and decisive in the barracks, and it is normal for the eldest brother to become cautious and suspicious in the officialdom. ”

Shen Laibao heard the melancholy in his words and asked, "Are you afraid that your brother will become a traitor?" ”

If it is said that it is the potential to be a villain, Hua Xu has now begun to see the beginning. It's just that in that case, where can the Hua family accommodate such an eldest son. So his wife was worried, and Shen Laibao fully understood.

"Hmm." Hua Ling raised her head and said, "When my brother comes back, I want to talk to him, I should always talk to him about some big things, maybe I can save it." ”

"It's okay, then I'll ......" Shen Laibao thought about it, but still said, "Then I'll wait for you elsewhere." ”

Hanazu understood what he meant, and sometimes there was a thorn in her heart, and even if the thorn was removed, there would be a scar. It is also necessary to avoid tearing the scar again.

It was almost night, and Hua Xu brought this Shen Niannian back.

Shen Niannian was carried down on Hua Xu's shoulder, and she refused to come back after a day of playing, and when Hua Xu carried her into the carriage, there was no fun, so she fell asleep immediately.

Hua Ling came out to pick her up, and Hua Xu gently signaled that she didn't need to pick up, and sent her into the wing room and covered her with a quilt. He has never taken good care of children, but he is careful, and Hua Ling is watching from the side, and he feels that his brother is not doing badly.

Hua Xu watched for a while before coming out, and when she heard footsteps following behind her, she turned to look at it and said, "Have you eaten with Noble?" ”

"After eating, there are a lot of delicious things in the capital. Brother, what about you? ”

"I ate too, and swam the boat for a day, from beginning to end, and back from tail."

Hua Ling said unexpectedly, "Cruise ship? Niannian doesn't like it, she also has a three-story small boat, and after sitting once, she doesn't like to touch it, saying that the place is small. I didn't expect to stay so long today. She smiled at the end, "It seems that Niannian likes to be with you." ”

Speaking of this, Hua Xu smiled, "Where is it because of me, I just met friends on the boat and had a good chat." It was also because the fish brought for lunch was delicious, and Nian Nian wanted to eat dinner and come back. ”

Hua Xu said, still feeling a little strange in his heart, why did the fish send two tails? Others are hard to find, but they gave two at this table. When asked about the person who delivered the food, the person didn't know. He didn't like kitchen fumes, so he didn't ask the cook. Later, I found that Master Yi was gone, and I guessed that he had given his share to himself, so I didn't think much about it.

After chatting for a long time, Hua Ling said, "Brother, do you know the daughter of the Dingbei Hou family?" ”

Hana thought for a moment, "I don't know. He then asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hua Ling said, "We came to Jingshi this time, in fact, because something happened to the Jingshi Commercial Bank, I heard the shopkeepers say that it was Dingbei Hou who was making trouble behind his back, but no matter how the manager investigated, he couldn't find out why." So we traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, and only today did we know some clues, but we are not sure. ”

Hua Xu knew that she must have something to do with herself, so she asked, "Does it have anything to do with me?" After all, the Marquis of Dingbei is also a member of the imperial court, no matter what you think, it is also my sake. ”

"I'm not sure, I only know that a shopkeeper said that you rejected the daughter of the Dingbei Marquis. Later, another shopkeeper heard that Dingbei Hou's niece loved the second brother, but was rejected and scolded others. ”

Hua Xu lowered her eyebrows and thought about it, and suddenly remembered, Mo Mei couldn't help but raise, "I know, oh...... It turned out to be her, the third lady of the Dingbei Hou family. At the mention of this name, his brows furrowed back again, "Before I was transferred to Jingshi, it happened that she was traveling with her father and met her. Later, when I first joined the Beijing Division, I met again at a banquet. Later, Dingbei Hou looked for someone to talk about matchmaking, but I refused. I didn't expect ...... It actually affected the pond fish. ”

Hua Ling sighed secretly, listening to the shopkeepers say that the daughter was beautiful and first-class in Beijing, but he didn't expect to meet his brother twice, but he didn't remember it at all. It can be seen that the elder brother really has no intention of what Dingbeihou's daughter is, "I'm not sure yet, I'll ask when the second brother comes back." ”

"Where will your second brother remember this, that big old man." Hua Xu talked about his younger brother, commented unabashedly, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to see Dingbei Hou, you can sleep first." ”

Hua Ling frowned, "Will you cause trouble for your brother?" ”

Hua continued, "I'll test it first, and if it's really because of me, I'll make it clear to my face." If it weren't for me, my brother, I wouldn't have seen you being bullied. ”

At this time, Hua Ling felt that his brother was still the same as always, no matter what, the Hou Ye is the Hou Ye, the title is there, the elder brother's official is not big in Beijing, no matter what he said in the Hou Mansion, his brother is equivalent to offending the Marquis of Dingbei. But he did not hesitate and promised to solve the matter.

She had already figured out how to mention to him the indispermissibility of officialdom, but now it seemed that she didn't need to. How could a child taught by the Hua family be a traitorous minister.

Sleek and suspicious, it is for self-preservation. But when something really happened, it wasn't tactful anymore.

She had been hanging her heart for a long time, and only then put it down, "Then please brother." ”

Hua Xu nodded, and said with a smile when he was leaving, "I took Niannian out today, and the people who knew me thought that Niannian was my daughter and said that she looked like me." ”

Hua Ling didn't know whether to laugh or sigh for a while, and said with a smile on her face, "Thinking about and kissing you again, naturally it's more like." ”

Hua Xu smiled, "I have to run an errand tomorrow, go to Dingbei Hou at noon, and I won't come back for lunch." If you want to find me, you can tell her that I will come back in the evening. ”

"Hmm." - Where is Nian Nian looking for him, it is clear that he is looking for Nian Nian now. Hua Ling sent him away, went back to the room where her daughter slept, looked at her a few more times, and then went back to her room.

The autumn night is cold, and there are still insects chirping, hiding in the grass and singing in a low voice. Hua Ling looked at the courtyard, adding a bit of autumn breeze to the courtyard, which was even more gloomy.

With Hua Xu's circumstance, the matter of Dingbei Hou was quickly resolved. Originally, it was also because Dingbei Hou couldn't think about it for a while, and he felt that he had been disgraced. Hua Xu came in person, and he also felt that he was at a loss, and because of his important teacher, he didn't dare to offend in person. Hua Xu gave him the stairs, and he took the opportunity to come down and relieve his hatred and hatred.

I talked to Hua Xu for a long time, and I felt that he was young and promising, and he had a good future. On the one hand, I feel that my daughter's vision is not bad, and on the other hand, I feel that it is a pity that I don't have this fast son-in-law. After sending Hua Xu away, he called the housekeeper, "In the future, all the things that will be added to the house will be bought at the Shen family's shop." ”

The housekeeper was surprised, "Why did you go to Shen's house to buy it?" Don't you like this flower? ”

"Short-sighted." Dingbei Hou said, "Do as I say, don't make trouble for the Shen family again, go quickly." ”

He has his considerations, his title is just a succession, and he has no real power, but it sounds good. It's really not as good as the big officials in the court who hold real power. Although Hua Xu is just a squire, he believes that he will definitely do something in the future, not to mention that his brother Hua Lang won a big victory this time, and he is afraid that he will be crowned a general. Why should he go to the trouble of offending them, this is unacceptable.

Those who know the times are Junjie, and he knows this very well.

Hua Xu solved the matter at noon, went to the Ministry of Works in the afternoon, and returned to the mansion in the evening. When I got home, I wanted to tell my brother-in-law about it, but I saw my brother-in-law come in on the back foot, and when we met, I said, "That matter is solved, and Dingbei Hou also ordered someone to come to purchase things, and said that it was all a misunderstanding before." ”

Hearing this, Hua Xu said, "That's good. ”

Shen Laibao knew that it was he who went to Dingbei Hou to solve the problem, and thanked him, and Hua Xu also accepted it. He said, "What about Niannian? ”

"I'm running around playing again during the day, and this should be still sleeping."

Hua Xu wanted to wait for her to wake up and have dinner together, but it was still early, so she looked at him and said, "Accompany me to the pavilion to drink?" ”

Shen Laibao smiled, "You drink, I drink tea." ”

Thinking of the fact that he was drunk when he got drunk, Hua Xu smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

The two went to the pavilion to drink tea and wine, and they didn't sit for a long time, but they also said many things that they hadn't said in these years. For a while, it seems that when he was young, he talked unhindered and talked happily.

The courtyard was far away from the courtyard where Shen Niannian lived, and the sound couldn't be heard here, but she always felt that someone was making a rustling sound next to the bed. In the dream, she frowned, and finally woke up with her eyes open, and when she turned around, she saw a little bean standing on the edge of the bed, putting an emerald green praying mantis on the edge of the bed to play.

She sat up suddenly, the cockroach was shaken to the ground by the quilt, and the little bun made a "ah", picked it up, and handed it to Shen Niannian, "Sister gives it to you." ”

"......" Shen Niannian slept for a long time, his mouth was a little dry, and his throat was hoarse under nervousness, "Brother Baozi, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Baozi blinked, "My mother brought me." ”

Shen Niannian suddenly understood, "Your mother knows my mother, and then brought you here to play?" ”

"yes, you jumped in through the window with me in your arms."

“……”

Shen Niannian was already about to shout to catch the thief, it was really strange for him to appear here!

"Niannian? Who are you talking to? ”

Hua Ling, who was reading a book in the outhouse, heard her daughter moving and thought she was talking in her sleep. But then I felt that something was wrong, and I was a little uneasy, so I got up and walked over there. Before he arrived, suddenly there was a light breeze with the fragrance behind him, and then his eyes were blindfolded by his hands, and there was a laugh in his ears, "Small, flower." 166 Reading Network
