Chapter 118: Heading to the Northwest
The party with the prince ended late that day, and when I returned, there were no pedestrians on the street.
On the third day, Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong went to the door of General Dingguo with gifts.
As soon as the concierge opened the door to see Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong, he immediately shouted inside: "The young master and the young grandmother are back!" ”
Then he turned his head to the two of them with a flattering face: "Young master, young grandmother, please come in." ”
As soon as they entered the door, the butler greeted the two of them.
"Young master, young grandmother, please come here."
The two were led all the way into the hall, and as soon as they sat down, General Dingguo heard the sound.
"Mao'er, Dong'er, you're here." General Dingguo looked at the two and said hello.
Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong stood up and shouted together: "Dad." ”
Hang Yidong handed over the things in his hand: "Dad, this is a gift that I prepared with Xiao Hao, this tea that we specially asked people to buy from Hangzhou, and I don't know if my father is used to drinking it." ”
"And this, this is a gift for Madame, a dress I made myself, I hope Madame can like it." Hang Yidong handed the gift in his hand to the general.
The general looked at her with a complicated expression: "You have a heart." ”
Then he handed the gift box of the general's wife to the housekeeper: "Send the gift to the lady, and by the way, tell her that the husband and wife have arrived." ”
After Hang Yidong sent the gift, Hang Yidong obediently retreated behind Xiao Hao.
"Alright, sit down, don't stand."
The two of them sat down again.
The general looked at his son in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "In two days, you will leave for the northwest road, how are the things being prepared?" ”
"Lao's father cares, and his son is almost ready."
"Uh-huh, that's good, that's good."
For a moment, the hall fell silent again.
The general really didn't know how to get along with Xiao Hao, thinking that at the beginning, when Xiao Hao was just born, he was also full of fatherly heart, thinking that he would teach his son martial arts well in the future, so that he could become his best successor.
But this good mood did not last long, and the child was taken away by his "good brother", who humbly begged him to return the child to him, and even knelt down, but his "good brother" did not look at him.
The child was not recovered, he tortured the grandmother who sent the child out of the house, but he didn't expect that she committed suicide by taking poison, this grandmother's identity is not ordinary.
It's not that he doesn't hate his wife, he hates why his wife became in a trance after giving birth to a child, why didn't he take care of the child, but asked himself if he looked good every day? If it weren't for the fact that she didn't take good care of the child, how could the child have been taken away so easily.
Not long after, his "good brother" was imprisoned for corruption and bribery, and he couldn't understand that his "brother" had a bad relationship with him, and he naturally knew that he was not a greedy person for gold and silver, so how could he be imprisoned for this matter?
He went to see him one last time, and wanted to beg him one last time to tell him the whereabouts of his child, but he told him nothing but sorry, and just as he was about to turn away, the man said: "If you really want that child to live well, then don't look for him, if you insist on looking for him, you will only kill him." ”
He turned to look at the man, and saw that the man had bled to death, and he had also been poisoned.
Since that day, he understood something, he picked up Xiao Qin from the outside and became the stepson of the general of Dingguo.
He taught him martial arts, taught him strategy, and taught him to march and fight, but these should be his son's things, and his attitude became colder and colder.
Xiao Qin seemed to realize that his emotions were wrong, and he practiced martial arts more and more hard every day, studied harder, and wanted to make his father happy, but seeing Xiao Qin gradually becoming so good, he didn't feel happy, but kept thinking of the child who was taken away in his heart.
He knew that something was wrong, so he stayed away from Xiao Qin, not wanting to cause any more burden to this child.
He never imagined that his child who was taken away would be able to find it again one day.
Looking at the young man in front of him with eyebrows and eyes very similar to his, the general's throat was a little dry: "The situation in the northwest is quite special, you should be more careful yourself, and think twice before acting." ”
"I know, father, the lady will go with me, and she will remind me of anything."
At this moment, the general was really a little surprised, he turned his head to look at Hang Yidong: "You also went to the northwest with Mao'er?" ”
Hang Yidong nodded, and then looked at Xiao Hao with a smile: "Yes, because I don't feel at ease because he goes to the northwest alone, it's better to watch him all the time." ”
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
The general looked at the two of them with great affection, and sighed a little: "You are a good child, then we will ask you, hard work." ”
"What's so hard about being with your husband, my father is serious." Hang Yidong replied gently.
At this moment, the housekeeper came back with the familiar gift bag, attached to the general's ear, although it was quiet, but for Xiao Hao, who had been hunting in the mountains since he was a child, and had outstanding ears, he still heard it: "Master, Mrs. said that she didn't want to miss grandma's things, and asked the young master to go to see her, and smashed a lot of things." ”
"Okay, I know, you take the things to the study, and I'll hand them over to her in a moment."
After the general finished speaking, he said to the two, "Do you want to stay and have a meal before leaving?" ”
Xiao Hao refused without thinking about it, pulled Hang Yidong up, and said to the general: "Father, my son suddenly remembered that there were still a lot of things that had not been sorted out, so he went back first." ”
He didn't have time to speak to the general and turned around and left, Hang Yidong didn't know what was going on, but he still held Xiao Hao's hand.
The general sighed, and saw the gift in the butler's hand, he took the gift, his eyes were heavy: "Let's go, go and see what your wife is doing again?" ”
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard of the general's wife, he heard the sound of smashing things, and the general strode into the wing, and saw a mess, and the lady was still holding a blue and white porcelain vase, threatening to smash it.
"What's the fuss!" The general's majesty is the voice coming from the front.
As soon as the general's wife heard his voice, she immediately threw the vase to the maid behind, ran to the general, and knocked on the back, and found that no one turned to ask the general: "Where is Mi'er?" Why didn't Mao'er come? ”
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, the general did not speak.
"What about you, I ask? Why didn't Mao'er come? Could it be that Hang Yidong's little goblin stopped Miao'er from coming over? ”
Hearing his wife's words becoming more and more unobtrusive, the general suddenly became angry: "You asked why Hao'er didn't come to see you, then why didn't you look at what you did?" ”
"What did I do?" The general's wife has no remorse, and she doesn't know what she did wrong.
The general held back his anger: "You know that Mao'er loves his mother, and you embarrass her and don't accept his gifts, do you think Mao'er can't see it?" Before, you stopped the couple from seeing each other, and now you are bullying his wife in front of Mao'er, and you only push Mao'er farther and farther away if you do this. ”
"Now that they are going to the northwest, you don't want to find a way to repair the relationship with Mao'er, and you are still doing it here. When you first gave birth to Mao'er, you didn't have to take care of it, and when the child disappeared, you remembered that you had a child, and now that Mao'er is back, do you still have to give this little and almost no kinship? The more the general spoke, the more angry he became, and finally he couldn't help but shout.
Tears kept sliding down her cheeks from the general's wife: "I don't have it...... I didn't want to hurt Mao'er. The general's wife wanted to refute, but found that every time she did, she pushed Mi'er further.
The general was not distressed when he saw his wife like this, he knew that if he didn't stop his wife, he was afraid that Mao'er would really be separated from the general's mansion.
He put Hang Yidong's gift on the table: "This is a gift brought by Miss Mao'er, it doesn't matter if you want to wear it or throw it away, but don't do anything that makes Mao'er sad." ”
With that, the general turned and left the debris-covered room.
The general's wife sat on the ground in a daze, and was so frightened that the grandmother hugged her: "Oh, madam, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly." ”
The general's wife suddenly grabbed Mama's sleeve, as if grasping the last straw, and asked, "Mama, am I wrong?" Am I really doing something wrong? ”
Mama just hugged her tightly and didn't answer, and the general's wife suddenly laughed, but her smile was worse than crying, and everyone thought I was wrong.
In the remaining two days, Hang Yidong bought a house outside, and let the Su family and Granny Wen move in, after all, it is not good to live in the Xiao family's other village, and his own clothing shop and fabric store make a lot of money, and it is not a problem to buy a house in the capital that looks very similar to a modern villa.
Before leaving, Song Tinghe told Hang Yidong that he was going to move out and would move to a big house to live, Hang Yidong also agreed, looking at the other party's triumphant appearance, maybe the progress of the hero and heroine is good. Seeing that she didn't cause any big trouble after entering Beijing, Hang Yidong went with her.
On the day Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong left, many people came to see them off, including the prince, Chen Liu, Xu Qingqing, Gu Jinyu, Chu Mo, Xu Yingliu, the Su family, Granny Wen, General Dingguo, and the general's wife wearing the lake-blue gold silk dress sent by Hang Yidong, although she just stood and watched from a distance.
He Shi held his daughter's hand tightly: "Daughter, you are gone, I don't know when you will come back, you must take good care of yourself!" ”
Xiao Hao assured on the side: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Yidong." ”
"Hey, good. Mother believes in you. Ho wiped the tears that had slid from his eyes with a handkerchief.
After appeasing everyone, the two embarked on a journey to the northwest under the reluctant gaze of everyone.
