I deliberately asked strangely, Hai Zhu looked at me and Han's mother with a narrow smile, and didn't answer, and went home by himself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info waited for a long time before he faintly heard her voice not to be outdone: "See if I don't call Brother Fang tomorrow to teach you this little girl."

"Okay, I'll wait for my cousin-in-law."

"All right, my young lady. It's just playing, don't go home soon, the old lady can wait. Mother Han pulled me with a doting smile, and ordered the porter to lock it and light the lamp.

A few years ago in Nanjing, the government originally planned to popularize electric lights for the residents of Jiangningfang, but at that time, the old lady of our family was still alive, thinking that installing the lights was to forget the traditions of the ancestors, and the workers who came to install the lights were not allowed to enter, so my father did it. Now that the old lady has passed away for three years, the uncles in each room have clamored to divide the family and move out to live their own lives. Only this old mansion was left to his father, who supported the Liu family's court for hundreds of years. The huge mansion is empty, and it is no longer the prosperous scene of the past. When my father saw that there was an empty house, he also turned off his enthusiasm for installing electric lights, and simply kept the tradition of lighting the lights in the evening. The sporadic fireflies illuminated the dusk sky, and when I looked against the light, a begonia in the patio was blooming beautifully.

Mu Bo came from the upper room, met me and Han's mother in the corridor, and hurriedly whispered in my ear: "The third master came to call, saying that he couldn't get back, let the master Ming'er don't wait for their family, start the banquet earlier, the master is angry, you can be a little small."

I frowned when I heard it, since the family was separated, my father invited the family to come back for a reunion during the New Year's holidays, and the third uncle's family was not always present, either my son was sick today, or I couldn't leave tomorrow because of the entertainment, and my feelings were that their family couldn't get over the festival. Now it's better, and I don't find a reason to do it, and I tell you that I won't come back. It's good that this way, and it won't be like saving the raw points. I thought as I called out to my father and mother into the main hall.

"I heard from the teacher today that I have a big gift for me, I don't know what kind of good thing it is, is the teacher breathing with you? Don't hide it and tell me, let me know sooner, so that you can be prepared not to make jokes. "I pulled my father's sleeve and was coquettish.

When my mother saw that I was pitiful, she sneered and pointed at my nose and scolded, "You little pimp will make trouble for your father." He's annoying, and you're careful to catch you and go under the knife. ”

I replied, "Look, my father is not like that. I've heard Mu Bo say, if you don't come, don't come, and don't worry about them. The etiquette is exhausted, and it is not our fault that the left and right are left. ”

My father listened to my words for a long time before he spoke: "It's not that I have to force them to come, it's just a small thing. Now that I'm older, the third family hasn't come back since my mother died. I just wanted to use your business to get the brothers back for a reunion, but I never thought that he would be so ruthless. ”

Seeing that her father was sad, her mother also hurriedly persuaded: "You didn't lose him when you broke up, he was going to Shanghai, and you gave him the entire field and house over there, and the second daughter-in-law complained for a long time. Being a big brother to your job is also considered benevolent and righteous. They want to share with us, can you still stick to it? ”

I know that because of the family property, there was a lot of unpleasantness in a few rooms, but now that three years have passed, even if there is any suspicion, it should be seen for the sake of a mother and compatriots. The old lady is knowledgeable under the spring, and I am afraid that she will be angry.

"What about my sister? I haven't seen her today. "I didn't want my father to continue to dwell on sadness, so I simply changed the subject.

"Oh, your sister is out of the house. Said that I made an appointment with someone to see what kind of exhibition together? ”

"yes, you didn't ask if your boyfriend or girlfriend?" I asked with bad intentions.

My mother was probably amused by my cunning appearance, nodded at my forehead and scolded me: "I haven't been serious all day, and you will ask her in person when your sister comes back."

"I don't, that's not asking for hardship."

The father also laughed at this time, and saw that I was deliberately teasing him, and said to the mother sitting next to him: "Let's not wait for Mingming, let her go to socialize when the child is older." I see that Han Zhao's girl is also full outside, and the two of us are left with food yet, let Han's mother pass the meal, I ate early today, and I have to get up early tomorrow. At this time, Han's mother came in to report that her sister called the porter and asked her to stay at seven o'clock, and her father and mother didn't say anything more, and went straight to the dining room.

When the next day was bright, the family was busy early. The moment the noisy voices entered the embroidery building through the paper window, I knew that the March 3rd, which had been prepared for a long time, had finally arrived.

When Han's mother went upstairs, I was reluctantly being pulled up by my sister. She is wearing a lake-colored embroidered magnolia silk cheongsam today, with jade ring earrings hanging from her ears, she is really an elegant and dignified lady. On the other hand, at this time, my newly cut hair a few days ago was messily put aside because I had just woken up, and my round face was also rubbed red because of playing with my sister. Seeing that Han's mother also came upstairs, I couldn't afford it, so I simply fell on the rattan chair and asked my sister to comb my hair.

When the second uncle's family arrived, I had already put on a skirt dress and waited in the main hall, only to see the second aunt limping in with a nine-year-old Wanzhao, followed by the second uncle in a brown Hangzhou silk robe.

Seeing this, the mother hurriedly stepped forward and took Wanzhao's hand and asked, "What's wrong with our third young lady, why haven't you seen you for a few days, and you have become a little crutch who needs help when she walks."

Wanzhao cried and complained to her mother with a look of grievance: "Auntie, my mother wrapped my feet a few days ago."

As soon as I heard it, what age is this, why is the second aunt still ruining her children like this. The mother frowned when she heard this: "Now that it has been nine years since the Republic of China, why do younger brothers and sisters still want their children to suffer."

When the second aunt heard this, she just smiled and said: "What my sister-in-law said, although it has been nine years since the Republic of China, but which family in this high-ranking family is willing to have a big-footed girl as a daughter-in-law, I will let her suffer a little sin now, and she will be happy in the future." Otherwise, no one wants Baba's age, and in turn they will blame me for being a mother. ”

She is so cynical, and no one with a discerning eye can see that she is saying that my sister and I don't bind our feet.

Mother didn't care when she heard it, she just looked at her lightly.

The second aunt saw it and hurriedly started a round: "Oh, look at my mouth, but then again, there are a few people like us who are as bold as the eldest brother, and they preach that they don't bind their feet to their daughters, and they also apprentice to the foreign school." also started free love, whose children in Nanjing City are not arranged by their parents, the matchmaker's words, but our eldest brother is an open new parent! Our second master has half of the eldest brother, and I don't need to be a big man who doesn't go out all day long, I can't enjoy it, and I can't be sorry for the child as a mother, so I have to think about it for her. She is young and doesn't understand, not everyone has the rules of the new school, the things of the ancestors have been passed down for thousands of years, how can they not resist the new foreign things? When she is older, she will understand the hard work of being a mother. ”

Seeing that the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, and hurriedly said, "I won't tell you, the more I talk about you, the more you will be on your face." I'll go and see if Mrs. Gu is here, so sit down by yourself. Han Zhao, you come with me. ”

I was also tired of the second aunt's cynicism, pinched Wanzhao, who was watching the adults talking, and walked quickly with my mother outside.

My sister and father had already welcomed my aunt's family in, and they were talking in the hallway. When I got closer, I heard my aunt say: "The third brother is too ignorant, after my mother goes, I think of him and get angry, and you really indulge him, eldest brother." When I first divided the family property, I didn't like him, something. ”

"Okay, I didn't call you back today to listen to you count him down, you see your niece came out to meet you." My father pointed to me and said to my aunt.

"Yo, our little splash has become a serious young lady, big brother, is this our rare show?" What my aunt said was narrow, and my father and mother smiled when they heard it.

"You just tease her, she just pretended, and as soon as you blew it, she immediately changed back."

I stepped forward with a smile, pulled my aunt's sleeve and said to my father: "You can kill me, anyway, I'm used to it, and there are so many people supporting me today."

"Look at her, it's not mine."

While we were talking and laughing, a little guy ran in and panted and reported: "Master, the master of the Gu family and the Minister of Communications He Cichang have arrived."

Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Communications? I remember that my father did not invite anyone from the government this time, so how could there be a second minister?

Without waiting for us to think about it, the teacher in the tunic had already taken the lead in accompanying a middle-aged man with a square face and Mr. Gu in a straight suit, and behind them, he Shutong and Gu Shaoqing, who were also wearing suits.

Uncle He is actually the son of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications, yesterday he only thought it was the young master of which family, but today he changed his face, and he really has a few years of gentleness and elegance of the young master. I thought about it, and I didn't know whether to pretend not to know or to know, he had already opened his mouth with a smile: "Miss Liu, we meet again!"

My father and mother had already finished greeting the guests who had suddenly come and were leading them to the middle hall, when Uncle He greeted everyone and turned their attention to me.

Sure enough, Vice Minister He had already taken the lead in speaking: "This must be the second lady of your mansion?" It's better to be famous than to meet, and to be recommended by Yaoshan must be the dragon and phoenix among people. Shutong, do you know Miss Liu? ”

"We are also a one-sided relationship, but Miss Liu has a good conversation, and we have a good conversation." Uncle He replied.

I'm confused, what kind of drama are these father and son singing? It's uninvited again, and it's a beautiful word for no reason.

"You kid, you didn't mention that you got acquainted with Gongzi He when you came back yesterday."

I looked at my father and explained to everyone: "Yesterday, I was recommended by my senior brother and met He Gongzi in the teahouse. At that time, I didn't know that Gongzi was the young master of the second eldest family, but I thought it was an ordinary friend of my senior brother. It's rare to be clumsy, and please don't be surprised by the second adult. ”

He Cichang smiled and answered: "Where to speak, young people should move around each other, Shaoqing I watched grow up, his junior sister bowed to the teacher, I should come over to disturb it." I also ask Mr. and Mrs. Liu to forgive us for our abruptness. ”

"It's a rare honor for you to come. Please also speak in the main hall. ”

"yes, let's not stand in the hall, please come inside." The teacher said with a smile.

Everyone walked forward in groups, but I suddenly looked at my watch irritably, remembering why my uncle's family hadn't come yet?

Uncle He was dragged by his father to greet the teacher because of what he said just now. Instead, Gu Shaoqing was left alone, and followed slowly and logically.

"It's you who made the hell, why did Vice Minister He come to my house?" I asked him.

Gu Shaoqing saw that I had a bad attitude, and he was not angry: "Why do you always misunderstand me?" It's the father. ”

"Mr. Gu?"

"You forgot that your father and Mr. Yaoshan were good friends, but he didn't want to accept the children of government officials. Uncle He heard out of nowhere that your family had invited my father, and the day before yesterday he begged to come to the house, but my father agreed to help because of the affection between the two families. ”

"Then you only met me yesterday, why didn't you say it at the time." I was even more angry.

He shrugged his shoulders, looked at me and said, "I wanted to say, you said you didn't know me well, and ran away." ”

I was even more annoyed when I heard this: "Although I ran away, but in the end I went to the teahouse, you always have a chance to talk." ”

"In the teahouse, you first looked at the top cards, and then talked with your uncle very happily, where did I have the right to interject?"

I couldn't even accuse him anymore, and I really couldn't listen to him when I was angry with him. Haizhu didn't come either, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. simply stopped following the main hall, said to Han's mother, and ran to the gate to wait.

Gu Shaoqing saw that I threw him down and was about to leave, so he also strode up and followed: "Why do you run away every time you run out?" It's too unconscionable. ”

I saw how familiar he was talking to me, and coughed uncomfortably: "How did you change your sex, I remember the first time I saw you in Ningyuan that day, but it wasn't like this, and your Yang mother was also afraid of you." Why did you suddenly get acquainted with me these two times as if you were a different person? ”

Seeing that I was asking directly, he smiled and replied slowly: "At that time, I didn't know that you were a disciple of the teacher, but now that I know, for the sake of the same sect, I want to take care of you more."

"Why didn't I know that the teacher had a disciple like you?"

"When I was young, I learned some rules from my husband, and then I went to Europe to study, and I only came back this year, and it's normal that you don't know."

As we were talking, a shiny black car drove in from the entrance of the alley, and when we got closer, Wu Haizhu shouted my name from the car.

"Han Zhao, I'm so embarrassed. Brother Fang is going to buy you a gift, so it's too late. Haizhu said to me with a smile as soon as he got out of the car.

When she saw Gu Shaoqing waiting there side by side with me, her expression was like seeing a ghost. Also, I was tense with him yesterday, and today I actually talked in harmony, which is a miracle in itself.

"Miss Wu, meet again." Gu Shaoqing said politely and shook her hand like a gentleman.

Haizhu was still stunned, and Shifang, who got out of the car behind him, had already greeted me with a smile: "Han Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are a lot taller." Which family is this, you don't introduce me to it, it's too rude. ”

I haven't seen Brother Shifang for more than half a year, and I am so happy to see it today: "As soon as you come, you will count me down, did Wu Haizhu go back to sue yesterday?" I asked in a weird way.

Gu Shaoqing had already naturally introduced: "I am Gu Shaoqing, my father Gu Rulin, I am very happy to meet my brother."

Shifang saw that he opened his mouth very generously, and he didn't twist it: "Tong Shifang, my father Tong Liuyan, fortunately."

"What about my aunt and uncle? Why didn't you come? "That's when I realized there wasn't anyone else in the car.

"Oh, Brother Fang and I came out first, and my father and mother came from home. Let's not wait for them, let's go in first, I have a lot to say to you. ”

Haizhu pulled me inside, leaving the two men to greet themselves.

The auspicious time is set in the corner, and after the clock on the wall rings 10 times, the ceremony begins. The father and the teacher spoke separately, and because of the sudden visit of Vice Minister He, the master of ceremonies asked Mr. Gu to talk a little to him.

After that, I bowed to the teacher, and I respectfully kowtowed to my father and the teacher, who were sitting in the middle, and the teacher lovingly handed me a box of square mahogany boxes.

Everyone present looked at it and laughed to see what kind of treasure was inside. In desperation, I had no choice but to open the box.

I saw that the inside of the mahogany box was draped with a layer of flowing golden velvet, and there was a small chapter of Hetian jade in it, and if you looked closely, the color of the jade was not stained, without any impurities, and the white face was somewhat shaking, and what was even more surprising was that the small scarlet seal below was engraved with the four big characters of "Eternal Jiafu", and there was a row of small characters below that read: "The seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the year of Yi'an Jushi Renshen".

"This is an idle medal that the old man occasionally obtained, and the wonderful thing is that it happened to be done by Yi'an Jushi in his later years, and I have found someone to verify that it is indeed genuine. Give it to your beloved disciples today, and the old decay will be officially announced to the outside world, and no more disciples will be accepted. From today onwards, Han Zhao is Yaoshan's only disciple in the room. I have already given her the word 'Yongjia'. The teacher's words undoubtedly caught the He father and son off guard, and before they could indicate the purpose of the trip, the gentleman had already taken the lead in making a public statement.

"Wait a minute......

The crowd was about to applaud, when an abrupt snort appeared in time, interrupting everyone's next action. I saw He Jichang step forward with a smile and say to everyone present: "He has something to say!"
