Looking at the table full of delicious and delicate dishes with color and aroma but no appetite, Ah Yao couldn't be more sure after a meal - it couldn't go on like this.

After dinner, she sent Brother Jing away, and she directly pulled Daddy into the study.

"Master, A-Yao."

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Song Shi spoke in the back, and his voice that wanted to speak and stopped clearly revealing his worry.

"Mother......

"Madame, it's all right."

The father and daughter spoke in unison, comforting the Song family, and then walked hand in hand to the shade of the trees, and walked along the stone path paved with elegant patterns beside the flowers to the study.

The cool breeze was blowing with the fragrance of flowers, supporting Daddy, and Ah Yao's mind was not idle. When she was depressed from eating, she thought about getting straight to the point. But the most aggrieved time has passed, and she has lost the impulse she had at the beginning.

The person around her is none other than her father, who gave birth to her and raised her, and the father who loves her the most in her two lives. Even if she loses her temper at someone in a hurry, she can't throw a tantrum at Daddy.

In a short moment, she had already adjusted her feelings, and when she walked to the study, she rubbed the corners of her clothes and regained her little daughter's delicate posture again.

"Daddy, that ...... My daughter has something she wants to tell you. ”

Kindness? Along the way, Hu Jiuling, who had been mentally prepared and planned to appease his daughter's bad temper before making a bitter plan, was stunned. Fortunately, he has been in business for many years, and what he is best at is improvisation. Thinking about his daughter's psychology, he restrained his kind face, and in a moment he transformed into a cold appearance.

Daddy was really angry, and Ah Yao smiled more and more flatteringly, "Daddy, my daughter hasn't told anyone about this, and you are the first to hear about it." ”

"The first one? Isn't it your brother Jing? Seeing her daughter so caring, Hu Jiuling couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.

"Daddy knows everything?" Surprised, Ah Yao couldn't care about being shy, and blurted out directly, "Since that's the case, my daughter won't hide it from you, my daughter likes Brother Jing." ”

It's one thing to know, it's another to hear her admit it herself. It is difficult to prevent thieves day and night, although he has already been vigilant, the pearl in his palm that has been raised for more than ten years was still taken away by the wolf cub, how can Hu Jiuling not be angry.

"What about him? What is his attitude towards you? ”

Ah Yao groaned, "Brother Jing said that I was allowed to like him." ”

Hu Jiuling was furious, "Allowed? Just like that, two words like charity? ”

"No, Daddy, you misunderstood, Brother Jing's personality is like this, in fact, he is very good to me and has done many things for me secretly. From the dispute between the academy and Shen Moci, to finding Mo Daru in Dongshan Huashou Temple, and when the rumors arrived, he found Master Kukai in time, and later recruited military salaries, auction banquets, and solved the biggest hidden danger Wu Tongzhi this time, he not only helped me, but even helped our whole family. ”

After a pause, Ah Yao walked up to Hu Jiuling, her apricot eyes were full of pleading, "My daughter has been studying these days and understands a truth, many things can't just be said, but more importantly, they are done."

And the scene at that time was exactly the same as that in the small courtyard behind the shop, when the little marquis took the Hu family girl to play.

"Could it be empathy?"

"Or else?"

The cold voice sounded again, although it was a questioning tone, but perhaps because of too much pressure, he instantly settled on this guess in his heart.

"It's empathy."

"Are you sure?"

Facing the question of the little Hou Ye, Lu Ping did not hesitate at all, "It's the subordinates who are stupid, and the subordinates have long known the Hou Ye's intentions, so how can they have any superfluous thoughts about the Hu family girl." Fortunately, Hou Ye was wise and woke up his subordinates in time. ”

The soap boots were withdrawn, and Lu Jingyuan's voice returned to a calm voice, repeating the beginning words, "Then why are you wrong?" ”

Lu Ping's heart relaxed when he mentioned his throat. That's right, at first, he just thought that the Hu family girl who could accurately confirm his ordinary face was as kind as family, and just regarded her as a sister, what was wrong with that.

It turned out that Hou Ye had already seen through it, and Hou Ye was really wise.

I admired the little Hou Ye so much, Lu Ping asked again: "Thank you Hou Ye for your guidance, it's just that over there in the study, my subordinates will go to listen to one or two?" ”

"Not necessarily." Lu Jingyuan was concise and to the point.

Lu Ping, who was full of thoughts of making a mistake, looked up in surprise, "Don't go?" ”

Lu Jingyuan nodded, he didn't realize the atmosphere at the dinner table. If he had been suspicious before, but the girl would have become more and more angry when she came in, she would definitely confess to Hu Jiuling.

And Hu Jiuling will definitely oppose it, and he even knows the reason for his opposition, which is nothing more than Qi Dafei's set.

Qi Dafei is not a coincidence, this is indeed a threshold that cannot be bypassed. He still had a headache before, pinching his sleeves, and holding the 800-mile rush in the capital that he received a few days ago. Now that he has the victory, he only needs to show his demeanor.

Sure enough, as he expected, in the study, after listening to his beloved daughter's revealing thoughts, Hu Jiuling began to preach bitterly after getting through the initial dizziness.

"My Hu family has always reciprocated the grace of dripping water, and Dingbei Hou has done those things, and Daddy is more grateful to her than you. But gratitude is gratitude, you can't be compensated too, you are Daddy's only daughter. ”

"Daddy, my daughter and Brother Jing are in love, how can this be said to be a compensation?"

Hu Jiuling's brows furrowed into a pimple, "I know that you are in love with each other, but you can be a good daughter, and this world is more about the right people." We are just a merchant family, how can we afford to climb the Hou Mansion. Even if the Marquis of Dingbei likes you, and the real eight sedan chairs marry you as Mrs. Hou, and you are happy after marriage, he will not accept extra concubines to make you sad, but what about the others? First of all, the father and mother of Dingbei Hou, after getting married, he always has to be filial to his in-laws, who is a mother to see his son marry such a daughter-in-law will be happy? Then there are the people who associate with the Hou Mansion on weekdays, who are either rich or expensive. In the memories of your previous life, you have also seen the pomp and circumstance of the noble ladies in Beijing, and you recognize yourself to be able to cope with those human contacts? Even if you can learn hard, what about them, what will they say behind their backs? ”

"Daddy knows that Dingbeihou is a good person, and he is good to you, but how much hardship do you have to suffer with him. Daddy is just your daughter, and he has no other hope, just looking forward to your happiness and peace for the rest of your life. With the wealth of my Hu family, if you marry a family that is not too high, your in-laws will definitely treat you well. But the threshold of the Hou Mansion is too high, and Daddy can't do anything at that time. ”

In the end, Hu Jiuling's sorrow came from it, and the dignified nine-foot man actually had red eyes.

How could she make Daddy so sad, listening to what he said, Ah Yao, who had always thought that the two would be happy, was finally shaken in her heart.

At this moment, Hu Gui, who was guarding the door, came in with an anxious expression, "Master, girl, there is a holy decree in the capital." ”
