As soon as his hair was soaked, he heard a knock at the door of the courtyard. Zhang Shi of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info answered, she couldn't raise her head, so she wiped the water off her face, and heard Qiu Yinming's voice say: "Mother Zhang, is Miss there?" Zhang said: "Yes, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Hengyu also said angrily in his heart, this is really nonsense, but he is very happy, he can't move, he can only pick up his hair with one hand, tilt his neck and turn his face sideways, and see Zhang leading Qiu Yinming in from the outside. Zhang said: "It's really unfortunate, I'm helping her wash her hair, or you can sit for a while." ”

Qiu Yinming turned the corner of the wall, and unexpectedly saw her tilting her head, squinting towards the sun, and hooking the corners of her mouth at him with some effort, looking very funny. couldn't help but smile and blurted out, "I'll help her wash it." ”

"Then I'll go make a kettle of tea." Zhang went out with a smile.

"Will you wash?" Although Hengyu didn't mind, he was a little embarrassed, so he had to talk nonsense, and said after a while: "The soap powder is over there." Hey, it's a little cold. You, you're a little faster. ”

Qiu Yinming had just rolled up her sleeves, and when she heard her say this, she hurriedly powdered the soap in the basin, took the pot from the charcoal stove on the side and added a little hot water, let her lower her head and soak it in the basin, scooped up her hair and rubbed it gently, and said with a smile: "What's not going to happen, don't I have to wash it myself." Or your hair is good. ”

The sun was shining warmly on his neck, his eyes were closed and the fragrance of water was blowing on his face, and his fingers rubbed the roots of his hair, picking up a few wisps of itching, making people too lazy to talk again.

After a while, I heard him say solemnly: "I went to see Ling Zun this morning. ”

"Huh?" got up in the morning to practice, and tossed with his sister for a long time, Hengyu was still a little sleepy at this time, and he didn't care much. Qiu Yinming paused for a moment and continued: "I have officially mentioned our matter to him. ”

Hengyu also suddenly realized what he was talking about, and suddenly sobered up, and couldn't help but raise his head, he gently held it down, and then poured a pot of warm water on his head. The water seemed to be poured from the top of the head to the bottom of the heart, washing the mind blank for a moment, but you were a little flustered in the comfort room, and wanted to talk about it, but after a long time, she whispered: "What did my father say?" I was secretly glad that I didn't have to look up at this moment.

"When the martial arts conference is over, let me recruit fifty people to join the Xihai Alliance." Hengyu had already heard about the Daye mine, but he didn't expect his father to really sit on the ground and raise the price, not to mention such a big benefit, and to ask for so many people. "You don't have to worry about this, I've already considered it. Your dad is not a strong man. He continued to help her wash her hair unhurriedly, his tone changed slightly, and said, "As for when you marry me after the matter is completed, you are the decided." ”

I can't see his expression, but I can hear the contentment between my words, and this teaches people how to answer. Hengyu was still silent, and when he wrenched his hair, wrapped it in a dry cloth, and wrapped it over his shoulders, his face was ashamed, and he pretended to complain, and said again and again: "Such a thing, father, and you, why do you make your own decisions, don't tell me first......" The voice gradually decreased, and the eyes flowed.

Qiu Yinming chuckled: "Naturally, it is more important to negotiate with your father. Don't you want to? ”

"Of course I ......" Hengyu also turned sideways and said, "Got it." I don't care what you've set in private. After saying that, with a hint of blush on his face, he went into the house and moved his chair.

When he was young, Zhang came back with a pot of tea and tea food, and Hengyu was still leaning on a rattan chair, drying his hair towards the sun, listening to Qiu Yinming talk about the passage of Jingzhou and his party. Zhang listened interestingly, so he sat down and listened to it. Not long after, Heng Zining woke up from a nap and sat down to eat snacks. Not long after, when Gao returned from a night outing, he came here to rest first. Coincidentally, Zhao Ying bought back a few boxes of fresh tea fruits from the city, and the courtyard suddenly became lively. Everyone recounted what they had seen and heard, and talked about the westward dispersion of the sun.

After the others left, Hengyu got up and asked Qiu Yinming: "Do you want to go back to the city now or leave after dinner?" Qiu Yinming said: "Those two brothers are still waiting for me in the city, I'd better go find them now, and come back tomorrow." "Then I'll send you."

Qiu Yinming said suddenly: "Comb your hair." Hengyu was still puzzled, so he only took out a belt, pricked it casually and said: "Go and go back, too lazy to comb." Qiu Yinming insisted: "No." It is not seen by others, but it is not the same. Hengyu also seemed to be reasonable, turned around and entered the house, pulled the simplest bun, and sighed softly when he went out: "It's not for you to take care of, it's just that you can't ......"

Before the words were finished, he saw him standing at the door with a brocade in his hand, and the glimmering palm was a hairpin, red gold wrapped in silk, and the hairpin head was bent with a red jade pattern, dignified and beautiful, not like something that could be bought on the market, and said with a smile: "It's so good-looking." Where did it come from? Qiu Yinming carefully inserted the golden hairpin into her hair and said, "When I was in the capital, I wanted to find a gift for you, just like it." ”

The sun was getting darker, the sun was flying all over the sky, the mist was rising in the forest in the twilight, and there was no trace on the path back to the city. Because Wuwei had mentioned to Qiu Yinming about the experience of Xi'an Mansion before, although he did not go into details, he still slightly pointed out the strange cause of Ma Zheng's death, and now he suddenly saw the leader Huo mentioned by Wuwei here, which inevitably made people pay more attention. Ma Zheng's death, although Hengyu had heard about it before, he didn't know anything about it. After hearing Qiu Yinming say this, he was also suspicious, and said with some concern: "Senior brother, he has always said that he will do it, and he is very decisive, if it is really him who helps Guan Chihu seize the first position of the housekeeper in the future, then he will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits from it." But you say, his father trusted him so much, and entrusted him with the care of the headquarters, what is he not satisfied with? ”

Qiu Yinming pondered silently for a moment, and suddenly asked, "The Guan family in Xi'an Mansion is alone?" Otherwise, why did the other leaders follow the alliance leader and run around, but their family is not out. Hengyu also said: "The old leader is Zining's grandfather, his family has been following the Xihai Alliance since the last generation, he is very powerful, the family is big, and with them sitting there, my father can rest assured that he will go south." ”

"That's it." Qiu Yinming said, "Since Guan Chihu has not been able to take charge of their clan, now that Ma Zheng is dead again, Guan Lao Lao is like a lonely person, presumably your senior brother wants to annex the power of the housekeeper, and it is unknown." But I guess that since the butler has several generations of inheritance, it is not possible to kill one or two leaders. If he really has this intention, maybe he will use the red tiger to intervene first, and then wait for the opportunity. Isn't the alliance leader taboo people like him? Although the words came out, I thought in my heart that what the Xihai League said was that the strong were respected, even if it was taboo, or it had long been regarded as common sense. Whether it is right or wrong depends on each person's means. At this time, Ting Hengyu also said: "Mr. Qi also told me that you should pay attention to the future as soon as possible. She suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Actually, I don't want the Xihai Alliance to fall into his hands in the future. But I, but I ......" I couldn't tell for a moment whether it was worry or self-blame.

"Don't do that." Qiu Yinming hugged her shoulders and said, "This is not your responsibility alone. And now I am. Pretending to joke and said: "I have entrusted all my life and wealth for the rest of my life to your family, and of course I don't want to hand it over to others." It's probably too early to say anything, just be careful. ”

"Who knows about you joining the Western Sea Alliance?"

"No one knows but your father." The two continued to walk slowly, and they were almost on the official road to enter the city. "I discussed it with him, at present, there are many enemies in the Xihai Alliance, and there are also strong opponents like Chunlin Villa, and every move cannot escape the eyes and ears of others. And now I'm just a small gang leader who doesn't have any names in the rivers and lakes, no one pays attention, and I don't have enemies, so it's convenient to do anything. It is better not to publicize this matter for the time being, so as not to have many people and side problems. Mr. Qi, I didn't have time to talk to him today, and I will tell him another day. ”

"That's good. But you also have to be careful, the senior brother will definitely have his eyes on you. ”

"Rest assured. I can see that. ”

Walking to the fork in the road, Qiu Yinming said: "It's getting dark, you can go back." Before he was about to get on the horse, he asked, "Are you feeling okay lately?" On such a cold day, I see that you still only wear such clothes. Hengyu also said: "It's okay." I am still taking the medicine, and my body is no different from before, except that I am more tired. He lowered his head and toe a few times with the dead grass on the ground, touched the mane of the black horse, and said softly: "I shouldn't say it, Yinming, I'...... I don't know how many years I can stay with you. But ......" Her shallow smile was beautiful in the twilight, and her sideburns were dyed with an amber shimmer that fluttered in the wind. "I'll try to live longer."

Wen Yan was as piercing and moving as spring water, Qiu Yinming sighed lightly, pulled her into his arms, grabbed her back and said, "No matter how long it takes, it's a lifetime." ”

Hengyu closed his eyes for a moment, and suddenly said with a smile: "Okay, I don't have anything to think about." He looked up at him and said, "From now on, it will not be easy for you, what can I do?" Looking at her serious eyes, Qiu Yinming was asked, thought for a while, and said, "Don't do anything, everything is as usual." Seeing that she was noncommittal, she seemed to have other intentions, and suddenly asked, "You said it was me?" Hengyu nodded. Qiu Yinming smiled heartily, "No." Suddenly, he whispered in her ear: "Why don't you marry me early?" He didn't wait for her to say anything, he kissed her on the cheek, and then let go and led the horse, saying, "Be careful." ”

After the two said goodbye briefly, Hengyu went back along the path alone, and walked for a while before he heard the sound of horses' hooves gradually moving away from the avenue.

It was soon completely dark, and before she reached the gate of the manor, she suddenly heard a horse galloping in front of her, and she was suddenly surprised in her heart, who would come out of it at this time? didn't have to think about it, subconsciously jumped into the bushes, and waited quietly. A moment later, two fast horses swept past the trees, one after the other. Although the light was extremely dim, it still couldn't escape her eyes, and immediately the two were Huo Zhonghui and Shi Lei.

How could they be together, Hengyu still doesn't understand. After thinking about it, I heard that the second senior brother was unwell, and the rest of the people here were willing to listen to his dispatch and the fifth senior brother Shi Lei. I have my own cronies who don't bring them, but I am looking for the fifth senior brother, what are you going to do? At this time, the two of them had already gone far away, and it was impossible to keep up, so Hengyu had to guess and continue to walk back.

When he entered the garden, it was time to set up a meal, and Hengyu went straight to his father, and when he saw that he had no other arrangements, he stayed to eat together. After the attendants retreated, Heng Yu couldn't wait, and said with some anxiety: "Just now I saw that Senior Brother and Fifth Senior Brother seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't know where to go. It's weird. Heng Jingzhao smiled and said, "Look at your nervous face." It's okay, I know it all. Zhong Hui heard that Du Yu was gone and wanted to talk to him, but he heard that he had arrived in Hangzhou with Long Shao of Chunlin Villa, so he went to find him with Shi Lei. ”

"What is there to talk about." Hengyu also frowned.

Heng Jingzhao sandwiched some dishes for her, and said: "After all, you are all the same family, and you swore to advance and retreat together, but now you have your own thoughts, and it is indeed reasonable for him to want to understand it as a senior brother." He also told me that these two days are on the eve of the conference, and the seven of you are here, and there is a rare opportunity, so you should get together. Hengyu also took a small bite, and he still felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he put down his chopsticks and said, "I don't think he came all the way here for the party." Dad, don't you think he has ulterior motives? ”

Heng Jingzhao's face sank slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you mean that he secretly helped Guan Chihu kill Ma Zheng?" Hengyu was still slightly stunned, it turned out that his father already knew, so he nodded and said, "You said that if he really did such a thing, wouldn't his ambition be obvious?" Heng Jingzhao looked at her thoughtfully and said, "Everyone can see that he wants to be the leader of the alliance." Now I can't help him. If the seven of you want to fight alone, I'm afraid you are the only opponent for him. Guan Lao Zi has no successor, rather than letting the huge family business be ruined in the hands of Guan Chihu, it is better to ......" Speaking of this, he also felt inappropriate in his heart, and sighed lightly: "This is the difficulty of raising tigers!" Seeing that she bowed her head and was silent, she said softly: "Father was sorry for you back then." So that you are now burdened with such troubles. ”

Hengyu also smiled softly and said, "Don't say that." No matter what, it didn't reach a very critical point. Looking up at his father, "Among the seven of us, only the second senior brother is the closest to him. The second senior brother has a straight temper, and I don't think he will make a bad move against his father. The third senior brother is not convinced by him, and since he is gone, he will definitely not change his mind. The fourth senior brother and the two junior brothers are extremely reliable and will never rebel. Therefore, no matter how powerful Senior Brother is, if he wants to monopolize the Western Sea Alliance, I am afraid it will not be so easy. ”

Heng Jingzhao said: "To tell you the truth, I used to think that if you and Zhonghui could be together, I would be able to sit back and relax. Who knows, personnel is not determined in the end. Hengyu didn't know how to answer, so he could only bow his head to eat. The father and daughter were relatively speechless for a moment, and suddenly Hengjing Zhao's eyebrows relaxed, and said, "Forget it." Now this one is okay too. Hengyu was embarrassed to hear it, but just raised his head slightly and glanced at his father. Heng Jingzhao continued: "This Qiu Yinming is scheming and sophisticated, I was afraid that you would suffer, but I didn't expect him to be very sincere. There is such a person to work for you, my father should be happy. Even so, there was a smile on his face, and he didn't know what it was.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and then Heng Zining's voice said, "Can I come and eat together?" Before the words fell, the person had already pushed the door in, stepped forward and sat down on a stool, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late." Heng Jingzhao counted a few words down on her, and couldn't stand her coquettish words, and quickly turned from feigned anger to a smile and said: "If you are late in the future, I will punish you to meditate facing the wall." ”

As soon as Zining came, Fang Cai's conversation was immediately put aside. The three of them don't have much time together, so they can talk about some family things at will, and leave their worries behind in advance, but they are also happy.
