6. The heart knot of father and daughter
In the old mansion of the Nangong family, Nangong Huai paced back and forth in the lobby with some irritability. Nangong Lady Zheng and Nangong Shu sat on the side, looking at his appearance and couldn't help but glance at each other, a trace of darkness flashed in Zheng's eyes. Putting down the teacup and persuading with a smile: "Why is the master in such a hurry? How can father and daughter have an overnight feud, the eldest lady has a stubborn temper, so Xu Er and Hui'er persuaded them to naturally come to see the master. ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Nangong Huai's resolute face, and he snorted lightly: "That unfilial girl! What does she do? ”
Zheng covered his lips and smiled: "The master has a heart of love for his daughter, doesn't the concubine know it?" The old man said that he didn't want to, but in fact, he was still thinking about the eldest lady, right? Nangong Huai's expression eased, and said to Zheng's family: "I'm afraid she can't think of you being so thoughtful, this girl is really like her mother...... You are now the mother-in-law of their brothers and sisters, what else is your name? ”
Zheng hurriedly smiled: "The master is right, they are all a family... When Da and Tan'er come back, we can be regarded as a family reunion. ”
"Master Qiqi, madam, the eldest son and the second son are back." Outside the door, the servant respectfully said.
Nangong Huai said in a deep voice: "Let them in, can the eldest lady come back?" ”
The servant looked at Nangong Huai in embarrassment and said, "Go back to the master, I didn't see the eldest lady." Rather... However, the two girls sent by the lady to wait for the eldest lady came back. It seems to be... Beaten? ”
"What?!" Nangong Huai was furious, "This evil girl! Her mother kindly gave the girl to serve her, and she dared to do it! Originally, the daughter didn't come to see him for the first time, and Nangong Huai was very unhappy with this father, but now he sent two sons to persuade him in person, but he still refused to come and even injured the girl sent by the Zheng family. Nangong Huai only felt that a sense of anger burned into his head, as if he saw Nangong looking at himself when he left Nangong House five years ago. Such a small person, those eyes were similar to those of her mother, but the eyes that looked at him were full of contempt and disdain. It seems that he Nangong Huai is not the founding general of Great Xia, but a humble and inferior shameless villain. Because of that look, he left this daughter in his hometown for five years and ignored it. If it weren't for His Majesty's marriage this time, I'm afraid that Nangong Huai wouldn't think of her again.
As long as he thought of that look, he felt a faint pain somewhere in his heart.
"I want to see how lawless this evil girl is after not seeing her for a few years!" Furious, Nangong Huai strode towards the door.
"Father?" Before Nangong Xu and Nangong Hui entered the hall, they saw Nangong Huai facing them, Nangong Huai snorted lightly and brushed his sleeves away, leaving the two brothers looking at each other. Nangong Hui frowned and said, "Father, what's wrong?" Nangong Shu followed the Zheng family and walked out, Nangong Shu said: "It's about my father who misses the eldest sister, and I was very unhappy when I heard that the eldest sister didn't come." ”
Zheng smiled: "Don't worry, the master also misses Qian'er, and he was a little angry when he heard that Qian'er refused to come." Glancing at the two girls who were following Nangong Hui and the others with red and swollen cheeks and tearful eyes, Zheng smiled lovingly at the brothers as if they hadn't seen it, "Just now I told the master that the father and daughter did not have an overnight feud, so that the father and daughter met and talked well, and the knot in their hearts was naturally untied." If it drags on like this, it's not good. ”
Nangong Xu frowned, thought for a while and then nodded, "Mother said yes." ”
Nangong Hui frowned, but he was not as optimistic as Nangong Xu in his heart. Qian'er even changed her name, so it's no wonder that her father isn't angry. "Big brother, let's go over and have a look." ”
Nangong Xu nodded, "It's okay." ”
"Big brother, second brother, and little sister should also go to see my sister together. I haven't seen my sister in years. Nangong Shu said with a smile, she really hadn't seen Nangong for many years, and she couldn't even remember what this sister looked like. Originally, he didn't grow up in one place, eight years ago, after the death of Nangong Tian's biological mother, Nangong Tian, who was only eight years old, closed the door to keep filial piety for his mother for three years, and left Jinling as soon as he came out of the filial piety period.
Nangong Xu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
Nangong Shu pursed her lips obediently and smiled: "Big brother, rest assured, Shu'er will definitely get along with her sister." ”
"Shu'er has always been a sensible girl." Nangong Xu nodded and smiled. Although her temperament is a little more indulgent, Nangong Shu still knows the severity. What's more, this time Tilt Er is to marry for Shu'er, and Shu'er will not offend Tilt Er without knowing the severity.
"Let's go. Shu'er can't wait to see what her sister looks like. Nangong Shu hugged one of Nangong Xu's arms and smiled coquettishly.
"Tilt's face is very beautiful." Nangong Hui said with a smile.
Nangong Shu's eyes flashed slightly, and she lowered her eyes and smiled, "Really? Shu'er is also very curious. ”
Outside Nangong Mo's hut, Nangong Huai was alone in front of the empty room in front of him, and his resolute face was as black as ink. The small room in front of me was no more than seven feet high, with three small rooms with earthen walls and green tiles, which were shabby and shabby. Where is this where the dignified lady lives? Although Nangong Huai was angry at her daughter's stubbornness, she never thought of treating her harshly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
"This is where the eldest lady lives?!"
The middle-aged man guarding next to him turned pale, and said tremblingly: "Grandpa Qi, this... This is what the eldest lady means. The eldest lady refuses to go back to the old house to live, and the little one... The little ones don't dare to disobey the big lady's wishes. ”
"Bastard! The eldest lady is not sensible, don't you know the return? Nangong Huai said angrily: "The eldest lady lives in a humble room and eats coarse food, but you are dressed in fine clothes... Who gave you the guts! ”
"Grandpa forgive your sins! The little one didn't dare to ...... "Although he has been unemployed and returned to the field for more than ten years, Nangong Huai is a generation of famous generals in the end." Is anger too much for a little steward to bear? The steward's legs went limp, and he immediately knelt down.
"Get out of here and get punished! Where's the eldest lady? Nangong Huai kicked him away.
"Back... Back to the master, the eldest lady... Carrying a basket... Went out. The girl guarding the door said tremblingly.
"This evil girl!" Nangong Huai's face sank, and he reprimanded angrily.
"Daddy, what's going on?" Nangong Shu, who came after her, stepped forward and asked in a coquettish voice holding Nangong Huai's arm. Nangong Huai's expression softened slightly towards his doted little daughter, but when he thought of the eldest daughter who didn't take herself seriously at all, he was still angry in his heart, "You guys, you can go and get that evil girl back for me!" ”
"Father is angry, pour out his son's ......" Nangong Hui tried to persuade with some difficulty, but he couldn't say it after all. Qian'er knew that her father was in the old house next to her, but she still went out alone without even saying hello, and no one would understand this attitude. sighed helplessly in his heart, Nangong Hui felt even more guilty about his little sister who grew up alone since she was a child, "Tian'er grew up alone, it must be a little unaccustomed, and I ask my father to forgive me." ”
Thinking of the eldest daughter who was filial to her mother at the age of eight and left home to live alone at the age of eleven, the anger in Nangong Huai's heart was suddenly extinguished. sighed and said in a deep voice: "Go and get her back, what is the girl's house running around?" After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the mansion next to him with an ugly face.
"Yes, father." Nangong Xu and Nangong Hui said in unison.
Daddy was angry, and Shu'er accompanied Daddy back. Daddy, don't worry, the eldest brother and the second brother will definitely find the eldest sister. Nangong Shu looked at the three of them, smiled at Nangong Xu and the others, and quickly followed and persuaded softly.
"Humph! If that girl is as well-behaved as Shu'er......"
Father forgot, did Shu'er provoke the matter of marrying on behalf of his son this time? Looking at the father and daughter walking side by side, a trace of weirdness flashed on Nangong Hui's young face, and he couldn't help frowning.
