Liu Ting wanted to go back to Dawu, but Zhuang Cheng wanted to leave Dawu to find Zhuang Shuo's whereabouts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as his father's lieutenant left, Zhuang Cheng began to think about leaving Dawu. It's a pity that although the Zhuangjia Mansion in Longxi is large, there are all kinds of pedestrians in and out of each courtyard, but Zhuang Cheng can't even step out of the second door. The deputy general sent him to the old lady of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Yichen, the current head of the Zhuang family in Longxi.

Old lady Zhuang is only in her early sixties, not to mention her health, and she is always accompanied by four practitioners. Since he was a child, he knew that he had no chance of winning by working hard, so Zhuang Cheng could only temporarily suppress the idea of leaving, and respectfully bowed to the old lady for a grandchild. The thoughtful etiquette did not get the same treatment as the old lady. As soon as the idlers were sent away, there were only a few conversations, and the old lady, who was completely unfamiliar to Zhuang Cheng, was straight at Zhuang Cheng.

In the study room with the door closed, how could the old lady sitting on the Taishi chair have half a point of majesty? At this time, he grinned and said, "As soon as the seven boys came, they wanted to slip away." I can see it. ”

Zhuang Cheng is the second son of Zhuang Wangshu, and soon after he was born, he went to Yuanqing Town, which is far away from Longxi, and because most of the people have not been to the Zhuang family in Longxi, he is used to the second young master and the second young master. If you really rank the seniors, of course, you have to follow the seniority of the Longxi Zhuang family. The current bookmaker, Zhuang Cheng ranks seventh among his peers. In addition to his brother Zhuang Yu, there are also one sister and five brothers from the eldest uncle and the second uncle respectively. Zhuang Cheng, who ranks seventh among the men, is called "Seven Boys" by the old lady, which is a very suitable ridicule.

"After a few months of driving, I felt a little depressed when I entered the house." Zhuang Cheng lied without changing his face: "The house is not as spacious as the outside, and it is a little boring." ”

"Where can you get depressed? If Shuo'er's girl is here, she will lock you in the cellar where the ancestral relics rest, and you won't feel depressed, right? ”

Zhuang Cheng blushed, and immediately understood that it was impossible for his father to hide this from the old lady, so he admitted it. "I don't believe Shuo'er will die."

"If you don't believe it, you will want to find it, and you will support all those who can move to find it. You say, should I tell your uncle to keep an eye on you, or should I find two rings that look like Shuo'er for you to entangle you? Zhuang Yichen still nodded and smiled, not mentioning the shyness that his grandson's "things in the room" should have. He even got up and patted Zhuang Cheng, who was full of suspicion, and hinted: "You will be fourteen next year, and the man who is over fourteen years old in the family will have to take the girl in the room." ”

Zhuang Cheng knew what the roommate meant. He blushed and said, "My grandson stays in the house well, and I beg my grandfather not to give me a roommate." They're too noisy......"

The old lady was unmoved, and said while walking towards the tea book case: "If you don't get along with the maids before you get married, will you be like an ordinary family, and only after you get married will you start to explore how to get along with your wife?" This is not the demeanor of the children of the family. Your future wife's family is also a family, if you know that you don't even have a room before marriage, you will be even more suspicious of the power of our family Cheng'er to pass on the ancestry. I can't do it. ”

"I knew that when I went back to my ancestral home, I might as well be at ease in the general's mansion managed by my mother." Zhuang Cheng muttered wryly: "Okay, my mother just won't let me go out of the house." ”

"Uncomfortable?" The old lady who turned around with the tea bowl sighed: "No matter how smart a man is, he doesn't want to look at it, and he can't see the mystery of this house - it's difficult to marry a good wife without a roommate." If he can't even marry a good wife, who can rest assured that he can leave the house and live freely? ”

"Going home?" These words were just repeated in Zhuang Cheng's mouth, and his eyes lit up.

Zhuang Cheng certainly knew what the separation meant to him. With an independent small home, you can come and go freely, and you don't need to be controlled. It is also possible to train your own people to do what they command. The most important thing is that once the people around him are no longer arranged by his parents, inquiring about Zhuang Shuo's whereabouts can not only be done, but also not known by his parents.

Zhuang Cheng didn't deliberately want to hide anything from his parents, but he didn't want to take any more risks. In Zhuang Cheng's opinion, his father has chosen to let Zhuang Shuo die, if he can really find out Zhuang Shuo's whereabouts, God knows what his father will do when he finds out.

Take Zhuang Shuo back and raise him under his knees with a different identity, or raise him incognito as a daughter?

Zhuang Cheng felt that it was unlikely, he had not forgotten that his father was quite jealous of Shuo'er, for fear that she would not give up on the Zhuang family in the future. From Zhuang Shuo's point of view, Zhuang Cheng didn't think Shuo'er would accept Zhuang again. What he has done will be known one day, because of his mother's actions, Zhuang Jia and Zhuang Shuo are completely opposed. Even if the dealer can still accept Zhuang Shuo, it does not mean that Shuoer is willing to return to the banker. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if everyone can forget the past, Zhuang Cheng still thinks that he can't let his mother know about Shuo'er's existence anymore.

He knows his mother too well - anyone who dares to be disadvantageous to his parents and children, the gentle and demure Guo Yingying will immediately turn into a fierce tigress and do her best to protect her son. Zhuang Cheng didn't want the two women he loved the most to have a chance to attack each other again, because no matter which side took the lead, it would make him miserable. Then, whether it is now or in the future, splitting up is the best way.

"What does grandfather mean that if I have a companion room and marry a wife, I will be able to separate the family and live?" Zhuang Cheng was so excited that his tone trembled a little.

"Who isn't like that?" Compared with Zhuang Cheng's excitement, the old lady of the Zhuang family seemed much calmer. He took a sip of tea, and proudly and patiently explained to his grandson: "After taking the house, marrying a wife, and making achievements, the elders are naturally relieved to let you take care of yourself." Who wants to be a laborious and thankless old man. I'm not happy anyway. ”

The aggrieved appearance and deliberate self-deprecation made Zhuang Cheng feel that the old lady was a lot more kind. Honestly sitting on the pestle at the old lady's feet, Zhuang Cheng said aggrievedly: "I'll take the exam." Grandfather, if I pass the exam, can I go out without accompanying me or marrying a wife? ”

"How can you get a bear paw and still get a fish?" The old lady smiled lightly and pointed in the direction outside the window: "Don't look at your eldest uncle, second uncle, and several elder brothers, they can all take charge of their own affairs, but they are all after they have become families and have their own achievements." Speaking of which, which of Da Wu's sons is not like this? The Seven Boys have always been smart, but you can't use your cleverness to shock the world. Your sister's pitiful experience, isn't it just that the seven boys are too shocking to think about things? ”

"Shuo'er is not my own sister." After a weak defense, Zhuang Cheng lowered his head sadly.

"But she's not your sister's business, so we can't explain it to outsiders." After stroking his beard and thinking for a moment, the old lady gave in slightly: "Let's go and worship the relics of our ancestors first, and then talk about the separation of the family." ”

Zhuang Cheng believes that "again" is a hint that there is room for negotiation. With the hope of separating the family, of course he was able to bear the old lady and walk towards the cellar. On the way to the cellar, Zhuang Cheng seized the time to think about everything to do after the separation. No matter which one it is, it is to find a way to inquire about Zhuang Shuo's whereabouts.
