Chapter 16: Joy

After lunch, Han Yunying had a big quarrel with Meng Lei, the Meng family lived in an old-fashioned courtyard, and the sound insulation was not good.

was probably questioning why Meng Lei didn't tell her about the marriage contract, and then complained about the old lady's partiality, saying that only Fang Xuan was brought to the banquet that day, it must have been this idea, saying that Meng Lei was a stuffy jar, useless at all, and extremely ugly words, which were inevitably mixed with the rhetoric of the other party's love courtesy couple.

Fang Xuan couldn't listen to it, and was about to go to the yard for a walk, but as soon as he got up, the door was pushed open from the outside, it was Fang Qingli.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Fang Qingli sat on the chair that Fang Xuan had sat on just now, motioned for her daughter to sit down too, then picked up the book that Fang Xuan didn't have time to close, and glanced at it: "Yan Xuan, when did you become interested in architecture?" ”

Fang Xuan knew that his father was in trouble, but he still replied obediently: "It's just that my eldest brother showed it to me before, and I think this book is very interesting." "There was no mention of anything at the banquet.

Seeing that her daughter didn't want to say more, Fang Qingli thought of the little soldier who came to deliver the book at noon, and she knew that she should have something to do with Namei Jiuye.

Putting down the book, Fang Qingli looked at her upright daughter, who had always known that her daughter was likable, but she didn't expect to be looked down upon by someone after coming to Nanjing for less than half a month.

"Simmering, your mother told me about that a few days ago, I thought about it for a few days, I don't know how to speak, although you are still young now, but after all, this is your lifelong event, or you still have to be willing, what do you think, can you talk to your father?" Fang Qingli's tone was gentle, and he sat in front of Fang Xuan, his eyebrows soft.

Fang Xuan didn't calm down until now, looking into his father's eyes, Fang Qingli had this kind of power, which could always make people feel calm and safe.

"Dad, I don't know." Fang Xuan said these three words to this Fang Qingli for the first time, although Fang Xuan has a gentle personality, he is stubborn in his bones and never admits defeat, even if Fang Qingli asks questions she doesn't know, most of the time she will say that she will definitely give an answer tomorrow. This time I replied like this, I should have really panicked.

"Simmering, Dad has always told you that the sage is impermanent, no one can be a teacher everywhere, and Dad is the same, many times you need yourself to make decisions, simmering, life events, following your heart is the only standard."

"Dad, I know, I'll think about it seriously."

That night, Fang Xuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, looking at the book on the table, it was extremely difficult to get, during the war, knowledge was the most luxurious, but for that person, it seemed that it was easy to hold in his hand, then, what about the second brother, is it the same?

November is the coldest, Nanjing City is at the junction of the north and south, the temperature is not as spring as the four seasons in Lingnan, it is the coldest at four or five o'clock in the morning, ordinary people have no hot stove available, Fang Xuan is half asleep all night, sleeps in a daze, when he wakes up, the sky is not yet bright. Fang Xuan simply sat up, thinking about the dream he had last night.

Most of the dreams are Fang Jianguo's vague back, Fang Jianguo is the tallest and strongest of the four elder brothers, when he was a child, he often held Fang Xuan above his head or on his shoulder, Fang Xuan was afraid of novelty, and always cried and laughed, making the family cry and laugh. During the period, it was mixed with the cry of the mother and the sound of reading the suicide note back then, it was messy, and when I woke up, my clothes were soaked.

When eating breakfast, Fang Xuan was absent-minded, and Fang Qingli looked at her daughter, not feeling a good feeling in her heart. Although he doesn't want to admit it, but his wife's consideration is reasonable after all, now the old man of the Mei family has proposed to marry in person, and Mei Jiuye also has an excellent attitude, if he refuses, even if there is an old thing such as a father-in-law, there will inevitably be some estrangement, not to mention, after the second incident, Fang Qingli really thinks that leaving his daughter in Nanjing should be the best choice now. But the mother-in-law is old, even if the brother-in-law has a good attitude towards his family, but he has always been afraid of the inside, Han Yunying and his wife have always been against each other, if there is some accident, there is a mother-in-law like the Mei family, even if the war reaches Nanjing, at least it can keep her daughter safe.

But seeing Fang Xuan's expression, Fang Qingli, who has always loved her daughter, was a little unbearable, and said: "Simmering, if you really don't want to, don't force yourself, it's just a suggestion made by Mr. Mei verbally, and my father will help you reply." ”

Fang Xuan raised his head, turned back to his senses and shook his head at Fang Qingli: "Dad, I didn't want to, I was just thinking about how to put forward conditions to the Ninth Master, after all, he is so old and I am so old, didn't I also say that the conditions were with me yesterday." ”

The words fell, and after being quiet for a long time, Han Yunying chattered: "The grade is young, and there are a lot of hearts", looked up at the old lady, and did not give up: "Mother, this simmering is young, and he speaks without measure, don't let this family not form a relationship when the time comes, but offend people." ”

The old lady ignored him, knowing what her daughter-in-law was thinking. Fang Qingli knew that her daughter had no intention of money since she was a child, and she was raised to look like a master at a young age, but she still questioned what her daughter wanted.

"Simmer, are you missing something, Dad will help you find it."

Fang Xuan heard Fang Qingli say this, he couldn't hold back, and his voice was muffled: "I miss the second brother, Dad, I know you can't find it back." ”
