Meng Xiaohui only said that if she thought about it, she still needed to discuss it with Fang Qingli.

Mei family.

Mei Jinrong has studied in Europe for many years and is used to Western-style breakfast, but the old man has never been used to eating it, Xia Rumei has always followed him in everything since Mei Jinrong came back, even if she is not used to eating sandwiches without temperature, she always asks her aunt to prepare the same breakfast as her brother.

Today, as usual, the old man is accustomed to the work and rest of the soldiers, and he has been strict with his children since he was a child, and breakfast at seven o'clock is not moving. But in the past, everyone ate their own food, and people who have always practiced eating without saying anything, always frequently looked at Mei Jinrong on the left who was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper. The person being watched felt it, but did not show it, just waited for the other party to speak first.

The old man put down his chopsticks, but he still couldn't hold back: "Jinrong, you come to the study, I have something to tell you." With that, he got up and went upstairs.

Mei Jinrong took her eyes off the newspaper, put down the cup in her hand, ate breakfast for a while unhurriedly, and then followed.

Xia Rumei watched the two leave, and lost her appetite, so she asked the maid to take the things, and looked upstairs thoughtfully, although she had been adopted for many years, the Mei family treated her very well, but after all, it couldn't compare to blood kinship.

She is very aware of the subtle estrangement. But it is because of this that the little unknown luxury in her heart has survived for so long.

In the study, the old man waited for a while, and when he was impatient, there was a knock on the door. Looking at his son's tepid expression, the fire in his heart was extinguished.

"Jinrong, I called you up because I wanted to tell you something."

Mei Jinrong didn't speak, just listened carefully, waiting for what he wanted.

"Fifth Miss of the Fang family, you should remember that although she is a little younger, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she looks very good, and my old man has survived to this day by the grace of the teacher's family when he was young. The day before yesterday, I saw that simmering and liked it very much, so I cheekily asked my wife for this family affair for you, do you have any ideas? "The old man actually has no bottom in his heart, even if he has been in the army for decades and has countless iron and blood under his hands, but he still has some drums in his heart for this son who has not been close to him since he was a child, but is too mature and rational.

"Okay, I agree." The old man didn't expect Mei Jinrong to agree so happily, and he couldn't react for a while.

"However, I have one condition." Mei Jinrong mentioned it unhurriedly.

"You say."

"After that, I hope you stop interfering in everything about me, especially in the army." Mei Jinrong returned to China after graduating from the West Point Military Academy, first joined the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy of the National Army, and was later transferred to the 88th Division of the National Revolutionary Army as a staff officer. Similarly, because of this, it has become a reason to prevent him from going to the battlefield, all saying that it is because it is too rare for a high-achieving student like him, in fact, Mei Jinrong himself understands in his heart, but because he has a father who is a general, even the commander-in-chief ordered to leave a queen for the Mei family.

The old man looked at his son, and knew that if he agreed, if a full-scale war of resistance broke out here, he would be the first to rush to the front line, but what if he didn't agree, he grew legs and could stop it for a while, but it was just the peace now.

Reaching an agreement, Mei Jinrong didn't stay long, pushed the door and left the study, just opened the door, and saw Xia Rumei who was hurriedly downstairs, a little puzzled, but didn't think much about it.

Meng Mingming stayed at home for two days and then went back to school, although Fang Xuan is not as timid as he was when he was a child, he also doesn't like this cousin. Meng Mingming left, and Fang Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

On this day, the Meng family came to a man in a military uniform, sixteen or seventeen years old, his skin was a little dark, although he tried hard to put on a serious expression, but he still looked immature, the Meng family is now full of people, and most of them are female dependents, the little soldier was stared at when he entered the door, and after a while, his face was flushed.

Entering the door, he stood straight in the middle of the hall, saluted solemnly, and began to introduce himself, "I am the chief of staff's guard, my name is Wu Shi, Miss Fang, this is the chief of staff asked me to send it, saying that he was in a hurry last time, and he forgot to give it to Miss Fang." Wu Shi brought the words word for word with a serious face, and handed the book to Fang Xuan with both hands.

Fang Xuan looked at the title of the book, his heart was clear, and he raised his head and asked, "Your chief of staff is Mei Jiuye?" ”

"Yes." As soon as he turned his body to look at the old lady sitting on the main seat, he heard Fang Xuan's question, hurriedly turned around, and replied sonorously, as if he was answering the chief's inquiry.

The voice was loud, and even Meng Xiaohui, who was sitting farther away, was taken aback, and said in her heart, this soldier is so big and three thick, so Mei Jiuye won't be the same, that daughter, who grew up in the greenhouse since she was a child, which of the brothers is not soft-spoken to her, Fang Qingli is a real literati, and I am afraid that this marriage will not be successful.

Without waiting for Meng Xiaohui to finish thinking, the old lady smiled and said, "Little brother works hard, we will eat together in the cold house at noon, coarse tea and light rice, please don't mind." ”

Wu Shi only turned around and replied very seriously: "No, I am just carrying out the military order, and there is one more thing, the chief of staff asked me to bring a message, saying that there have been many affairs in the army recently, and the engagement may have to be postponed, but if the Fang family or Miss Fang has any requests, he will definitely try his best to do it." ”

Fang Xuan just wanted to open the book that he had been thinking about for a long time, and when he heard Wu Shi say this, he raised his head suddenly, engaged? Who?

This time the window paper was accidentally pierced by Wu Shi, Meng Xiaohui first glanced at her daughter nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief, since she had already decided, it was okay, and she was worried about how to talk to her daughter. Thinking of this, Meng Xiaohui looked at Wu Shi and thought to herself, this stupid boy has done a good thing.

After speaking, Wu Shi saluted and turned around to leave the Fang family, after he left, the room was quiet for a long time, and Han Yunying opened his mouth first: "Mother, what kind of marriage?" That little brother is talking about Mei Jiuye? And, simmering? Although he was asking, his tone was already a little questioning.

Fang Xuan also looked at her grandmother, and then at her father, although the little girl was young, she was clear-minded, and it seemed that only she and her aunt had just knew, and even Meng Lei didn't express much surprise.

At the age of twelve, she was about to get engaged, and she was about to meet someone who had just met each other, although Fang Xuan was not dissatisfied with Mei Jinrong, but this feeling seemed to make her a little about to embark on another journey, and she didn't even have a decent map in her hand, and she was a little overwhelmed.
