Chapter Forty-Nine: The Past Is Not Mentioned?
Walking out of the house, the sunlight projected from behind the thin clouds fell sparsely in the courtyard, and the old floor tiles showed the traces of the vicissitudes of time under this light. Under the stone platform supporting the pillars on the side, I don't know when a clump of moss grows, and under the sun, my head is basked.
The breeze is gentle, and only a few can enter the yard, so they can't sweep away the restlessness of the yard, but they are willing to leave a little refreshment. Passing by, the prince who was past the middle of the year stopped, his face was sad. The eyes are deep, and the gentleness is like water, but it makes people sad. sighed softly, and in the enthusiastic eyes, it seemed that tears were about to flow in the next moment.
He couldn't remember if he had said anything, or if he didn't want to think about it again. He has been rich and noble all his life, and all his thoughts have been withdrawn from the events of the year, and he has devoted himself to playing the role of a father. On weekdays, I spoil my children very much, thinking that I can avoid those unnecessary things, so that my two children can grow up peacefully.
Although his daughter grew up under his pampering, Xu is daughter's family is thoughtful, and many things actually have their own ideas. In other words, it probably plays a certain role, maintaining the image of the home, and trying its best to create a very ordinary but non-existent atmosphere for the home.
But in the end, because of his son's unintentional words, something was broken. He finally realized some of the mistakes he had made in the past, and when he thought about it, it was not more of blame, but of guilt.
Guilt for children, and guilt for the deceased wife.
Zhou Yong turned around and looked at his son, who was sitting on the ground in the room, crying freely, and finally walked away quickly.
Maybe to grow up, you have to experience something by yourself.
Zhou Yong arrived outside his daughter's small courtyard not long after, and the maid who was waiting for Zhou Pei saw him coming over and came over to salute, and the expression on her face was also a little complicated.
Zhou Yong stood in the courtyard and looked at the closed door, and asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?" ”
The maid shook her head, after all, she was a neighbor by Zhou Pei's side, and she even knew Zhou Pei better than Zhou Yong, and when she heard this, she was so distressed that she was about to cry: "Lord Wang, the county lord has never been so sad." ”
Zhou Yong waved his hand to let the maid go down, and when he arrived at the door, he raised his hand and knocked, but there was no movement for a long time.
"Pei'er, open the door and talk to Dad."
After saying a few words, there was no movement inside, Zhou Yong raised his voice and said, "If I don't open the door, I'll bang on the door...... What a hit......"
After waiting for a while, Zhou Yong took a few steps back and said loudly: "Don't stay by the door, I hit the door......" He said, rubbed his palms, and then "bah" twice, probably those guys on the dock.
With a squeak, the door opened, Zhou Pei leaned on the open door, looked at Zhou Yong who was bent over and ready to run, his red eyes glared, and said angrily: "You are still a prince, look at you like this......"
Zhou Yong said twice, with a smile on his face, stood up, and wiped his hands on his clothes: "Dad will change it in the future!" ”
"Hey, it's dirty." Zhou Pei saw Zhou Yong's appearance and said with disgust.
Zhou Yong heard this, Yu Guang glanced at his hands, even though he didn't really spit just now, he also felt that his palms were sticky and uncomfortable.
"There is no reason to dislike your father." He raised his eyebrows and his expression became serious.
Zhou Yong sat down in the room, Zhou Pei didn't really dislike him, Fang Cai's words were just a diaphragm response, and by the way, his emotions could be recovered.
"Pei'er, Yun'er, he didn't mean that." Zhou Yong tried his best to make his tone sound normal.
Zhou Pei nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "I know...... He's not wrong, I'm going to get married sooner or later. ”
When he said this, he was a little sad, and his eyes were full of grievances. In the past, when it came to such a topic, girls always had a thinner skin, and there might be a bit of expectation or panic mixed in while their faces were red, but now they are just a few words, and there are no too complicated emotions.
Zhou Yong sighed in his heart and said, "If you marry out, you are also the county lord of my Yongwang Mansion, and wherever you go, you are my Zhou Yong's daughter......
Zhou Pei pursed his lips and chuckled, but his eyes were red, and that smile looked really distressing. She also stopped taking the topic, but brought up the incident a few days ago.
"Xiaoyan, does she have any news?"
Zhou Yong didn't expect to mention this matter, he was in a trance, caught a glimpse of the seriousness in his daughter's eyes, and then said, "I have already arranged for someone to do it." ”
"And then?"
And then ...... There is no news for the time being. You also know that there have been so many things in the city lately, and they are so entangled that it's hard to sort them out......"
"Oh." Zhou Pei changed his expression as he spoke, and Zhou Yong was shocked. got up and said, "I'll go first, maybe there's news...... I'll take a look. ”
"Father, ......" Zhou Pei sighed abruptly, walked behind Zhou Yong, helped rub his shoulders, and followed, "I've actually always been curious...... Xiaoyan, what is her relationship with you? ”
I think Uncle Su has a lot of respect for you, you can't be bored, right? ”
Zhou Yong thought to himself that a woman's intuition was really terrible, and the reason for this was not impossible, but the time had not yet come.
After laughing embarrassedly, Zhou Yong said: "After all, I am a prince, and he should respect me." As he spoke, he didn't forget to add a sentence to divert firepower, "Not everyone is like you, and they don't treat your father as a prince." ”
As soon as the words fell, he didn't forget to cast a bitter look and went out.
Zhou Pei didn't care much: "It's not your ...... for petting"
Just when Zhou Yong was glad to have passed the test and his heart fell halfway, Zhou Pei said with a smile: "Father, if it is really my long-lost sister, you should take her back, it has not been easy for her to ...... over the years."
Zhou Yong's heart tightened, and the cold sweat was about to come down.
Zhou Pei sarcastically said: "Maybe I will get married soon, and when she comes back, someone will talk to you." ”
Zhou Yong sighed: "Your brother is still ......"
"Yo, she's really your seed?"
Zhou Yong's face fell: "What do you call my species, can you speak." ”
Zhou Pei snorted and turned his head, already angry.
Zhou Yong snorted, and said with a smile: "Su Xiaoyan does have a relationship with me, but it's not the kind of relationship you think." ”
"What's that relationship?"
Zhou Yong's face was slightly gloomy, thinking of something far away, and said abruptly: "In short, as long as you know that my life was saved by his father, even you ...... It was also exchanged for her family's life. ”
The curiosity, banter and sadness in Zhou Pei's eyes dissipated in an instant, and he got up and said, "Dad, what do you mean?" ”
Zhou Yong thought for a while and said, "There are some things that can't be said for the time being...... and then looked at it seriously and became serious, "Our family owes their family two lives." ”
