Yuan Hui'er went in to greet her father, and Yuan Yizhi hurriedly opened the door and asked Gao Hongyi to come in.

"Childe came all the way to explore his father, and we have never greeted him, which is really rude! Come in and rest. Yuan Yizhi said apologetically.

Gao Hongyi replied with his hand: "It's rude to come to the door in a hurry without telling me in advance, and it's disturbing." ”

"Oh, where did the son say, there are friends from afar who are happy, and the son is coming to the cold house, it is our pleasure, how dare I pick the courtesy of the son." Yuan Yizhi said and welcomed Gao Hongyi to the living room to rest for a while.

It is said to be a living room, but it is a small thatched house, which looks very simple and shabby. The tables and chairs were broken and dusty, and Yuan Yizhi had embarrassment on his face, for fear that Gao Hongyi would dislike it, so he hurriedly wiped the dust off the chair and invited him to sit down.

Gao Hongyi didn't care, and signaled that he didn't need to do this, and immediately sat down to save them.

Yuan Yizhi saw that Gao Hongyi did not dislike his own dilapidation, he was happy in his heart, and introduced the others present with a smile: "In Xia Yuan is so humble, the word is good." ”

"The young one is the younger brother Yuan is good to ask, the word is rich."

Lu Qingping arched his hand and said: "Lu Jun, the word Qingping, I have seen the son." Childe's poems just now have an extraordinary temperament, quite a white legacy, which makes people sigh! ”

"I don't know what the child's surname is, who studied under that sage?" Lu Qingping said curiously.

"You have won the award, in Xia Gao Hongyi, the family teacher Li Xian, the word Leshan." Gao Hongyi replied politely.

"Li Xian, but I've never heard of it." Lu Qingping was about to ask something again, when Yuan Hui'er came in and said that his father had an invitation, and Gao Hongyi followed him to see Yuan Mingde.

After Gao Hongyi left, Lu Qingping said to himself: "This Gao Hongyi, who is so calm and calm at a young age, is completely different from the rich sons we have seen before, which is really rare." ”

Yuan Yizhi happily replied: "Brother Qingping is on point, I see that this Gao Gongzi is extraordinary, and his knowledge is far above ours, I am afraid that he is extraordinary!" ”

"Big brother, big brother Lu, you really don't know?" Yuan Hao asked suspiciously.

"Do you know what?" Yuan Yizhi replied casually.

"Big brother, the new general of the Northern Guard Horse Division is called Gao Hongyi, and he is the same age as him."

"What! You're saying he's the Hokago. Yuan Yizhi asked in surprise.

"It should be him!" Yuan Hao asked and guessed.

Yuan Yiyi slapped the table and shouted, "Oops! If he is really the general of the Northern Protector, it is really a blessing for us! ”

Yuan Yizhi was pleasantly surprised, and looked at Lu Qingping excitedly and said, "Brother Qingping, the sky has eyes!" The heavens have eyes! This general Gao is erudite, strong, and talented, with a heroic righteousness between his eyebrows, and he has no arrogance to treat this down-and-out talent like us. If he can discern people and check our talents, our future prospects are limitless! ”

Lu Qingping said calmly: "Brother Yizhi, don't be too excited, maybe he is here to arrest us, I don't know!" Let's be careful, don't show the details. ”

"Brother Lu is too worried, he obviously already knows something about us, if he wants to arrest us, just send a messenger, why bother to come to the door in person." Yuan Hao asked.

"My brother is right, maybe it's because of something else, he must have heard about my reputation and wanted to invite me to be an official, that's great." Yuan Yizhi said confidently.

Lu Qingping looked at him dissatisfied, "Brother Yizhi, the sky is still bright, don't daydream." ”

Yuan Hao asked and said with a smile: "If the two brothers want to know why he is here, let's listen outside the house." ”

"What I'm saying is, Qingping, let's stop arguing, go and listen." Yuan Yizhi said and walked quickly to his father's room, Yuan Hao asked Lu Qingping standing still, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu is afraid of listening to the wall and insulting Sven?" ”

Lu Qingping didn't answer, Yuan Hao asked and said as he walked, "Then I'll listen and come back and tell you." ”

......

At that time, the two were talking, only to hear Yuan Mingde stroked his beard and said: "General Gao's words are exaggerated, the old man is just a poor man in the countryside, although he knows a few poems, but it is only for literacy, I really don't know how to treat funeral rites, I'm sorry." ”

Gao Hongyi seemed to have thought that Yuan Mingde would say this, so he did not react with displeasure, but replied: "Since Mr. Mingde is unwilling, Hongyi will not force it." It's just that the poor father loves the people like a son, and when he was dying, he specially warned me to think more for the people and do more for the people. Now Hongyi just wants to do a beautiful future for him, but no one is willing to contribute to this, and he has not been able to settle down so far.

Mr. Mingde, did my father do something wrong? Shouldn't he think too much about the people, shouldn't he worry about the people? If not, then why does the father worry about them when they need it? And when my father needed them, they all looked on coldly. ”

Yuan Mingde listened carefully and replied lightly: "General Gao's words are wrong, fortune cannot be repaid, and it is not fortune to seek retribution." General Yuanhe passed away suddenly, and the old man was also embarrassed, hating the injustice of the sky and hating the land.

It's just for today's plan, and I hope that the general will find a sage as soon as possible, and let the old general enter the ground as soon as possible! ”

"What Mr. Mingde taught is that Hongyi remembers." Gao Hongyi bowed his hand, and then was about to leave, and even went out of the door, and suddenly turned back and said: "Mr. Mingde has such a great talent, even if he can't help him, he can bury the suffering of Beihu, and Hongyi really can't help it."

When Hongyi came, he specially prepared a small gift, and asked Mr. Mingde to accept it, which can be regarded as Hongyi's trip in vain. ”

Yuan Mingde wanted to refuse, but seeing that Gao Hongyi was sincere, he accepted it.

Gao Hongyi said goodbye to Yuan Mingde, pushed open the door and went out, startling the two brothers of Yuan Yizhi who were eavesdropping.

The two blushed and smiled, but Gao Hongyi didn't say anything, nodded at the two, and then left.

Yuan Yizhi sent Gao Hongyi out of the door, and hurriedly walked back and asked Yuan Mingde puzzled: "Father, since you know that this person is the general of the Northern Protector, and you made a special trip to ask your father for funeral, why can't your father refuse?" ”

"Being a father has the meaning of being a father, but you two brothers are hiding under the base of that wall, cowering and making people laugh."

"The child knows it's wrong." There were many mysteries in Yuan Yi's heart, and he insisted on continuing to ask: "Father, the child looks at this general Gao and is also a benevolent and filial person. Since my father is very familiar with the funeral, why don't you agree to him! Please also let my father know. ”

Yuan Mingde sighed and said: "I have been mourning for my father and Jinren for decades, I don't want to have much return, I just want the dead to be safe and secure and ascend to bliss as soon as possible." But, child, do you know, why we have fallen here, is it not because those officials do not treat us as human beings, and they come and go as soon as they are called? Father, I'm old and tired, and I really don't want to deal with officials anymore. ”

"Father, the child understands." Yuan Yi replied helplessly.

"Father, come and see." Yuan Hui'er walked over from the back hall and said.

Yuan Mingde saw that his daughter was very anxious, and asked while walking with her, "What's the matter, what a fuss." ”

Yuan Hui'er walked to the back hall and opened the gift box given by Gao Hongyi, "Father, look." ”

Yuan Mingde looked carefully, and there was a box full of silver in the gift box.

Looking at the silver, Yuan Mingde pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, go and chase them." ”
