Chapter 62 The Cold Winter Changes

The children of the Hua family blew up the alleys of the south wind during the New Year, knowing that it was made by the children of the Hua family, the neighbors felt incredible, and asked one after another, "Is it the kid of the Shen family?" ”

Shen Laibao, who carried the black pot, wanted Hua Lang to apologize early, and it was estimated that he would have to be beaten by his father again.

The walls of the Shen family were built sturdily and there were no cracks, but they were shaken off by the rushing fireworks, revealing mud blocks. Moreover, the fireworks stained the wall black, and the only way to repair it was to find a craftsman.

The Hua family and his wife apologized to the frightened neighbors one by one, but because Hua Pingsheng was reluctant to go to Pan's house, the Liao family went to Pan's house and he went to Shen's house.

Master Shen has always been generous, and he respects the Hua family, of course, he didn't make it difficult, and he sat in the lobby with Hua Pingsheng and chatted.

Although the two are neighbors, their cognition has always been a little incompatible, they can be neighbors, but they can't be confidants, but they occasionally chat, and they are also very harmonious.

Talking about Hua Lang, Master Shen said again, "I heard that Noble said that Ah Lang decided to take the imperial examination next year, and you agreed." ”

Hua Pingsheng said, "There is indeed this matter, he wanted to go last time, but he was too young, and it was a martial artist, so he didn't agree for fear that he would be injured, and his mother didn't want to." It's sixteen years later, and if you miss it, you have to wait another three years, which is a little late. ”

Master Shen hesitated for a long time before he said, "But I heard that the situation in the imperial court is unclear, and how much ...... Officials like Dopansang. The Hua family is honest and pure, and if no one in the court is promoted, I am afraid that they will not be able to climb up. Even if someone is promoted, without the protection of wings, it is afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid something will happen. ”

After all, he is someone else's child, and there are some things that Master Shen can't say too bluntly, try to say it metaphorically and understandably to the other party. Hua Pingsheng understood it, and said with a smile, "Then I still have to take the test." ”

When Master Shen saw him calm, he must have known it a long time ago, and he couldn't help but be surprised, "Why do you have to go?" ”

"Lang'er has this ambition."

"Then you're not afraid?"

"I'm afraid." Hua Pingsheng did not hide what he thought in his heart at all, "But if everyone does not let him enter the government in order to keep the child, then no one can change the decay of the court, because there are no good officials, only traitorous ministers." One loyal minister is not enough to reform the situation of the court, two, three...... Someone has to do this kind of thing. ”

He didn't have the courage to do it back then, so he chose to escape, and he still regrets his choice. Now that his son has it, he doesn't want his son to have regrets in the future. Whatever decision his son makes, he will support it.

After hearing this, Master Shen suddenly laughed at himself - no matter how much he was a neighbor of the Hua family, he would not be able to become a family like the Hua family.

Some of the high wind and bright knots are carved into the bones.

He thought that if he moved next door to the flower house, he would be able to get some book fragrance, but he was just deceiving himself. What kind of family the Shen family is, he should be clear.

I don't know why, the knot that has been attached to the flower family for many years seems to have been let go a little.

In fact, the Hua family is the Hua family, the Shen family is the Shen family, they have their own way of doing things, and the Shen family also has it. They are a family of scholars, and the Shen family is also a family of merchants.

Why bother to learn from others, learn to be different.

Master Shen didn't know why he was in a much better mood, and he was so relaxed. He took a sip of tea and felt that the fragrance of tea was overflowing, "By the way, what do you think about Ah Xu, and he will also take the imperial examination next year, right?" ”

At the mention of the eldest son, Hua Pingsheng's expression changed, "I don't know what he wants to do, I asked him if he wanted to take the test, and he said no." It's okay to stay at home and inherit the family business. ”

Master Shen nodded lightly, but no matter how you say it, Hua Xu is more suitable for entering the office than Hua Lang, obviously his temperament is so steady, and he knows etiquette, he has been a little adult since he was a child, and he is not in the office, it's a pity.

&&&&&

Halfway through the hour, the winter night quietly came. The wind at night was even colder, like ice, turning into fine needles, little by little from the thick clothes into the body, freezing people shivering.

When Qin Qin moved the cake into the back room, he thought that when he would boil hot water, he would eat the cake, anyway, his father was drunk in the house, and his mother did not come back, so he had to cook it.

She moved her things back one after another, and when she was about to take the stool, she suddenly saw a hand pick up the stool, and when she saw the slender white hand, she knew who was coming, and she was really not in a good mood.

Hua Xu was about to move the stool in, but Qin Qin stopped him and took the stool back, "Don't go into the house, my father and mother are not here." ”

Hua Xu didn't insist when she heard this, and waited for her outside.

After a while, Qin Qin finished moving, and then he said, "Have you eaten?" ”

Qin Qin replied, "Eat." ”

"But if I want to set off fireworks, I asked the shopkeeper to keep some."

Qin Qin shook her head, Hua Xu stood for a moment, and handed her a slender box. Qin Qin looked at it and didn't answer, "What is this?" ”

Hua Xu smiled lightly, "Give it to you, open it and take a look." ”

Qin Qin still didn't answer, "I don't want to, I'm going into the house, you go back." ”

Hua Xu paused, and stepped forward to block her way. Qin Qin couldn't help frowning, so he took the box, and seeing that he still didn't leave, he finally opened it. Inside is a turquoise jade hairpin, the style is decent, not brilliant, but from the perspective of the material, it can be seen that it is valuable. She glanced at it and returned the lid to him, "I can't ask for it." ”

"Why?"

Qin Qin frowned, "You should know what it means to give the girl's hairpin." ”

Giving a hairpin is not simply to say that you are happy with each other, but to ask for marriage. After Qin Qin said this, he felt that Hua Xu might really mean that, after all, he was not stupid.

Hana Xu nodded, "That's exactly what I meant. ”

Qin Qin also wanted to return the box, but Hua Xu didn't accept it at all. She was suddenly annoyed, "I said I didn't like you, so I can't accept it." ”

Hua Xu's expression was indifferent, as if he was frozen in the wind, and even his tone was stiff, "You are still thinking about Shen Laibao, but you can see that he doesn't care at all." He treats you as a friend, and you know that. ”

"Yes, yes, I know that he who doesn't like me won't marry me."

Hua Xu said unexpectedly, "Since it's clear, why do you have to hold on?" ”

Qin Qin said, "Happy." ”

She was telling the truth, she hated the girl who could stay by Shen Laibao's side, so she especially hated Hua Ling. She had to work hard to get close to Shen Laibao half an inch away, but Hua Ling was able to do it lightly. But as long as Shen Laibao didn't get married for a day, she looked at it from a distance and felt happy. Always thinking that there might be an accident, maybe there would be a day when she could get completely close to him.

Hua Xu felt inexplicable, and asked, "It has to be Shen Laibao?" ”

"It can only be him."

Hua Xu was silent, "I know, your mother forced you again, and wanted to give you to others in exchange for money." I can help you stop it twice, but I can't stop it three times, too much, sooner or later, my father and mother will find out, if they ask, how can I mention your matter? ”

"Yes...... I shouldn't have asked you to help me solve it, but I don't have anyone else I can trust. Qin Qin was silent, her heart was not made of iron, but she had things she had to cling to, "...... in the future I'm not going to ask you to do such a thing. Master Hua, I am not worthy of you, the only person I want to marry is the son of the Shen family. ”

The money she had worked so hard to get in the racecourse was used to block those who wanted to marry her, but she only let Hua Xu come forward twice. Her mother already wondered why the people who had been promised to marry her had disappeared and disappeared.

The words had been said so bluntly, but Hua Xu couldn't give up, because he didn't understand why Qin Qin had such a big obsession with Shen Laibao. Shen Laibao didn't have too close to her, but Qin Qin seemed to be dead set on him early on. He always felt that he could find a gap and let her stop clinging.

Seeing that he still didn't take back the box, Qin Qin grabbed his hand and stuffed the box back, turned around and entered the house. When she closed the door, she was a little afraid that Hua Xu would rush in, so she would really have to make a mistake.

Fortunately, Hua Xu didn't do that, but in a moment she heard a low laugh.

The flower outside the door also came back to his senses, turned around to look, and said hello. Qin Mu smiled and looked him up and down a few more times, "It's you again, I remember you, come in and sit?" ”

Hua Xu hated Mother Qin in her heart, but there was no wave on the surface, and she immediately left. Qin's mother didn't chase after her, she just smiled and looked at it for a while, then she turned around and knocked on the door desperately, "Dead girl, open the door!" ”

As soon as Qin Qin opened the door, Qin's mother pushed the door in, regardless of whether she was still standing at the door or not, for fear of pushing her down. When I came in, I saw my daughter close the door with her back to her, grabbed her hair, and pulled her in.

Qin Qin was afraid that the flower would continue to turn back, so she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, grabbing her mother's hand to offset her strength.

"I've been around just now, I heard it, dead girl, no wonder your mother can't receive a dowry from someone every time, it turns out that you found someone else to stop you. You're sixteen, and you don't want to get married, do you want to eat your poor mother? ”

Qin Qin gritted her teeth and glared at her, "Where have I eaten your rice grain, in the past, my uncle helped our family, and the books were also provided by my uncle for me, but now that my uncle is sick and can't give us money, you want to sell me." When have you given me half a bite to eat and drink, what I owe you is to be born in your belly! But my uncle said that when you were pregnant with me, you were also drinking and gambling, day and night, and you didn't want to keep me at all. ”

"Yes, I don't want to keep you, but who made your life so big that you survived. Qinqin, your father is unproductive, I can't raise you, I don't want to give birth to you, I don't want you to suffer. How can you blame your mother, if you want to blame, blame your father. Listen to your mother's words and marry a good family, so you don't have to stay at home and suffer. Qin's mother said it sincerely, but it made Qin Qin's heart disgusted.

"You're dead to this heart! I won't listen to you anymore. ”

Qin's mother's face changed drastically, and she shouted, "Then you will die, you will die", she grabbed her hair and slammed it to the ground. Qin Qin was so painful that her scalp was tingling, and she pushed her head against her heart, causing Qin's mother to let go. He stumbled backwards, did not stand firmly, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Qin Qin was stunned for a moment when she saw that she was motionless, and crawled over to look at her, only to see her mother's eyes closed tightly, and there were still blood stains flowing out of the back of her head.

Her eyes widened, completely stunned.

She...... Killed.
