"Hualing thanked Zhuge Gongzi on behalf of the Hua family." Hua Ruhai said and bent down and bowed deeply. Zhuge Qinghong supported him, and the two exchanged a few polite words before Hua Ruhai took the people of the Hua family to set off on the road.

Zhuge Qinghong looked at Hua Ruhai's distant back, and there were both comfort and doubts in his heart. The comfort is that Hua Ruhai's talking temperament is full of gentlemanly style, and Chu Zhaohua is talented and beautiful, and he will definitely win Chu Zhaohua's heart in the future. What is puzzled is to look at Hua Ruhai's attitude, obviously the Langya Hua family is not ignoring Hua Rujiang, listening to his words, it seems that he is very concerned about Hua Rujiang who is wandering, and Hua Rujiang has not done anything rebellious, why was he driven out by the Hua family.

With Zhuge Qinghong, who was full of doubts, he returned to the hall of Luoyue Villa, at this time, only Chu'an and Duan Chen were left in the hall, but Zhuge Haochu's shadow was missing, Zhuge Qinghong's heart sank, and he walked a few steps to Duan Chen and asked, "Father." ”

Duan Chen didn't answer yet, but heard Chu An reply on the side: "Don't worry, Childe, the leader of the Zhuge Alliance is just going to meet the deceased for a while, and he will come back soon, Chu can use the lives of the whole village as a guarantee." ”

Zhuge Qinghong looked back at Chu An, only to see his determined expression, and he was slightly relieved in his heart. Although Zhuge Qinghong was not afraid of Chu An, after all, he was the father of Chu Zhaohua and Chu Yang, and he was also the lord of a village, and Zhuge Qinghong still had three points of respect for him.

"Father is in the Falling Moon Villa, and the younger generation is naturally relieved." Zhuge Qinghong replied calmly.

Chu An smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Zhuge Qinghong and said, "Please sit down and be restless, Xue'er should come over soon now on Zhaohua's side." ”

Zhuge Qinghong waited for Chu An to sit down before sitting down on his right hand, and after pondering for a while, Zhuge Qinghong clenched his fists, as if he had finally made up his mind and asked, "Master Chu, there is something wrong with the juniors."

I would like to ask for advice. ”

"Son, please speak." Chu An looked at him respectfully and said.

"When was the Shadow Forest built?"

"Back to the eldest prince, twenty years ago." Chu An replied.

"Zhaohua and Xue'er don't know what you're doing now."

"They don't know yet."

"Why do you have to marry Zhaohua into the Hua family."

Zhuge Qinghong stared at Chu An's expression after asking this sentence, only to see Chu An's brows furrowed, although the painful look in his eyes flashed, he was still seen by Zhuge Qinghong.

Chu An was silent, Zhuge Qinghong didn't urge him, just picked up a cup of tea in front of the table, and gently stirred a few traces of floating tea leaves with the tea lid. After all the tea leaves were gathered together, Zhuge Qinghong heard Chu An speak.

"Childe may know about this matter soon, and what Chu is doing now will be understood by Childe in the future." Chu An's voice was weak, as if he had exhausted all his strength to say this.

Zhuge Qinghong stopped the movements in his hand and looked at Chu An, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was much older in an instant, and after putting the teacup back on the table, Zhuge Qinghong said: "I hope that the decision of the predecessors will not make Zhaohua depressed for the rest of his life." ”

Chu An sighed and still said, "Gongzi will understand in the future." ”

Zhuge Qinghong saw Chu An's instantly lost look, and sighed imperceptibly and stopped talking.

It wasn't until Chu Yang entered the hall that the dull atmosphere eased slightly. But Chu Yang did not run to him happily when he saw Zhuge Qinghong as before, but respectfully bowed to Chu An first and said, "The child greets his father." After Chu An nodded, he turned to Zhuge Qinghong and said, "I've seen Brother Zhuge ." ”

Zhuge Qinghong smiled and nodded, "Xue'er, sit here." ”

When Chu Yang heard this, he walked straight to Zhuge Qinghong and sat down and said, "Eldest sister said that she was a little tired today, so she won't come out to greet you, let me ask you for her guilt." ”

Zhuge Qinghong replied: "I won't worry about this with her, I'll come to see her when she is in better spirits." ”

Chu Yang nodded.

Chu An got up and said when he saw the uncomfortable appearance of the two: "The old man went to see Zhaohua, and Xue'er entertained the son for his father." ”

"Yes, father." Chu Yang got up and replied.

When Chu An walked away, Chu Yang had some of his previous appearance, and he approached Zhuge Qinghong with a smile and said, "Brother Zhuge , you won't be angry if I didn't come to eat with you at noon, it's not that I don't want to see you, I don't want to see those people from the Hua family." ”

"Cher, I know." Zhuge Qinghong looked at Chu Yang and replied, then picked up the teacup in his hand and blew the floating tea leaves and asked, "How is your eldest sister?" ”

"My eldest sister, Brother Zhuge won't believe me if I say it." Chu Yang replied with a strange face.

"Speak up and listen." Zhuge Qinghong took a sip of tea and said.

"My eldest sister is learning embroidery." As soon as Chu Yang spoke, he only heard a light cough, and Zhuge Qinghong choked on the tea.

Chu Yang hurriedly patted him on the back, Zhuge Qinghong waved his hand, took another sip of tea to suppress the itch in his throat before he spoke: "This is indeed a bit unexpected. ”

"Yes, I suspected I was dazzled when I first saw it, I was in her room for so long just to see if she could learn it, and she had already learned to embroider leaves when I came."

"Zhaohua is smart and studious, and he can naturally do what he wants to do." Although he said so, Zhuge Qinghong still couldn't imagine how the hands that had been holding two red tassel guns since he was a child could hold the embroidery needle. Thinking of the embroidery needle, Zhuge Qinghong thought of Xiao Xinyi's embroidery of a handkerchief for Su Yuexian in the Double Holy Gate, and couldn't help but feel a wave of irritability in his heart, looking up at the outside, still not seeing Zhuge Haochu's shadow.

"Cher, have you ever been to the Shadow Forest?" Zhuge Qinghong asked Chu Yang.

Chu Yang was fiddling with the crossbow arrows in his sleeve, and when he heard Zhuge Qinghong's words, he thought about it and said: "Not now, my father never let our brothers get close to there, even the eldest sister is no exception, I remember when I was a child, I sneaked to the North Courtyard because of curiosity, and was discovered by my father before I entered the Shadow Forest, I have never seen my father so angry as that day, I couldn't get out of bed for a few days, and I never dared to go to the North Courtyard again." There was a hint of fear in his words, apparently leaving a shadow in his heart.

Zhuge Qinghong nodded and didn't speak, and Chu Yang asked again, "Brother Zhuge asked what is this for?" ”

Zhuge Qinghong shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just think it's a little strange to plant such a large forest in the manor." Chu Yang nodded and said: "The Shadow Forest has been there since I can remember, I thought it was nothing, but I have been to other people's houses to know that only our Falling Moon Villa will take out a whole yard to plant trees, I once asked my father, and was scolded by my father." ”

Zhuge Qinghong just nodded slightly. After chatting with Chu Yang absentmindedly for more than an hour, Zhuge Qinghong saw Chu An coming in from outside, Zhuge Qinghong hurriedly got up and asked, "Master Chu, where is my father?" ”

Chu An's face was a little complicated and replied: "Back to the eldest prince, the leader of the Zhuge League asked me to come and tell you that he went back to the inn first, let you go back by yourself." ”

Zhuge Qinghong's eyebrows were furrowed, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with cold light. Chu An saw the corners of his mouth pursed and the green tendons looming on his forehead and said: "Chu doesn't dare to deceive the son, the leader of the Zhuge League is indeed out of the villa, you should be able to catch up if you go after it now." ”

Zhuge Qinghong glanced at Chu An, saw that his face was open, and no longer hesitated to hug his fist at Chu An and said: "The juniors thank the owner of Chu Zhuang for his hospitality today, and when there is a chance to invite the owner to the banquet in the coming day, the juniors will leave." ”

Chu An also clenched his fists and saluted back: "Chu Mou has thanked Gongzi in advance, Gongzi please." ”

Zhuge Qinghong glanced at Xue'er arched his hand and walked out of the Falling Moon Villa, the ink crow hissed and took Zhuge Qinghong to the Ruyi Inn and rushed away, when there was still half a mile away from the Ruyi Inn, Zhuge Qinghong finally saw Zhuge Haochu's shadow, and the ink crow caught up with Zhuge Haochu's brown horse in a blink of an eye, Zhuge Qinghong and Zhuge Haochu walked side by side, the two of them arrived at the backyard of the Ruyi Inn in a blink of an eye, Zhuge Qinghong took the reins of Zhuge Haochu's horse and just wanted to speak, Zhuge Haochu had flashed into the Youxin House, After Zhuge Qinghong led the horses to the stable, Duan Chen walked in from the outside panting, and Duan Chen saw Zhuge Qinghong and asked, "Where is the alliance leader?" ”

Zhuge Qinghong frowned and said, "I'm back in the room." After finishing speaking, the two entered Youxin House together, only to see Zhuge Haochu's door closed, Zhuge Qinghong walked forward and knocked on the door: "Father, can I go in?" ”

I only heard Zhuge Haochu's old voice coming from the room: "Yin'er, my father is a little tired today, I will talk about it later, and now none of you will come to disturb me." ”

Zhuge Qinghong and Duan Chen glanced at each other, and they both saw worried looks in each other's eyes. Then Zhuge Qinghong said to Zhuge Haochu in the room: "Yes, father." ”

After speaking, he and Duan Chen left the door of Zhuge Haochu's room together. Zhuge Qinghong glanced at Duan Chen, and the two walked towards Zhuge Qinghong's room together. After the two of them sat down, Zhuge Qinghong looked at Duan Chen and asked, "Brother Duan, my father is abnormal in the villa. ”

"Back to the eldest son, no." Duan Chen shook his head and replied.

"And on the way here?" Zhuge Qinghong asked again.

"Not either." Duan Chen thought for a moment and replied.

"So, my father was so abnormal after he arrived at Falling Moon Villa, right?" Zhuge Qinghong said lightly.

"Yes, Childe." Duan Chen replied.

Zhuge Qinghong sighed, walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Duan Chen and said: "I am not in the villa these days, there are only you and Qinglang by my father's side, Qinglang is still young, and it is all thanks to Brother Duan to assist his father in managing the villa, Qinghong is grateful." As he spoke, he handed the teacup in his hand to Duan Chen.

Duan Chen took the teacup with both hands and said: "The eldest prince is serious, the alliance leader is well governed, nothing has happened in the martial arts and in the villa recently, it is an honor to be by the side of the alliance leader and the eldest prince." ”
