Chen Xianda was silent, but still sighed, and said: "The Si people have gone, and it is not interesting for the living to care." Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info I'm very happy to see you here today. He glanced at Li Yongzhong and said lovingly like a real elder: "I have long known how capable and assertive the youngest son of the Li family is. Your father has set this door for you, and I can't ask for it. Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "Originally, your mother-in-law still had doubts, afraid that you would not like this family business, and we only have a daughter under our knees, and I only wish her a comfortable life in the future." ”

Li Yongzhong lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I can't say anything, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law marry my daughter to me, that is, my wife, I will take good care of her and treat her well. ”

Chen Xianda didn't speak. He carefully looked at the youngest son of this old friend, and now his new son-in-law. When they met in Fushun in a hurry that day, after Li Qi's death, people were panicked, and he himself also had official business, and there were two sides to it, so it was delusional to know the root of his character. However, he still has a subtle interest and opinion in this rumored unusually capable young man, Li Xianda's previous life was bumpy, and his views on personnel are extremely realistic, so it is easy to see that the ambition lurking in Li Yongzhong's chest is very large, and a mere Li family, even Fushun, is no longer in the eyes of young people.

He was hindered by his old friend's deathbed entrustment and made a marriage contract with the Li family, but in Chen Xianda's heart, if Li Yongzhong's character is inferior and vulgar, then he will not withdraw from the marriage even if he fights for decades of friendship between the Chen and Li families, and he will never let the so-called reputation affect his daughter's happiness in her life. But Lee Yong-chung ...... Chen Xianda suddenly felt that if it was this young man, maybe this marriage was not a bad thing.

"If you say so, then I will believe you." Chen Xianda picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a few pieces of bamboo charcoal and threw them into the red clay oven, and the air in the study gradually mixed with the scent of bamboo, which seemed to be careless, but in fact the pressure was very much with Li Yongzhong: "I also believe that Brother Li Qi's children will not be all untreated, today you say this, you remember yourself, I also remember, when there are changes in the past, we will talk about it then!" ”

Li Yongzhong smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was not obvious. He secretly said that the meaning of this made clear his father-in-law's dismount, and thought about it casually, while saying respectfully: "Father-in-law, as long as you watch me do it." After saying that, he raised his eyebrows, and said as a matter of course: "If you can't even protect your wife and children, what kind of man is you!" ”

"Smack!" Chen Xianda was lightly afraid of the desktop, laughed, and said with a good heart: "Okay!" This is your father's good boy! That's like a good man! He calmed down, took a sip of tea, smiled, and said with emotion: "I also said this to my old father-in-law, your daughter-in-law's maternal grandfather, so that his old man could relax, otherwise, how could the daughter of a dignified family marry a rough warrior who dances with knives and guns, and is a little boss?" ”

This made Li Yongzhong take aback. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the literati despised the military and the Han, and the civil and military divisions were clear, not to mention the general, that is, the white household, and the pacification, and they may not be able to be in-laws with Xiucai, let alone serious people, this can be filled by the serious officials! He couldn't help but look sideways at his father-in-law, forced himself to calm down, and there were already some random speculations in his heart.

When Chen Xianda saw him like that, he still didn't know what this kid was thinking? couldn't help but be angry and funny, casually rolled up a book in his hand and threw it at this daring boy, and shouted with a straight face: "What nonsense thoughts are turning in your kid's heart!" Back then, I was married to three media and six media! ”

The study was filled with a cheerful air for a while. Li Yongzhong said with a smile: "I can let my grandfather marry his daughter, which shows my father-in-law's heroic appearance back then." He slapped a small sycophant, but unfortunately Chen Xianda immediately reminded Chen Xianda of this kid's so-called "graceful" nonsense, and was knocked on the head again.

Weng and his son-in-law laughed for a while, and Chen Xianda said with a little nostalgia: "Your mother-in-law's family is originally from Liaodong, and her father is a well-known local master in Liaoyang. My father-in-law's family from Liaoyang to visit relatives in the Guannei, on the way back to Liaoyang outside the city actually met the robbers of the road, the life of the whole family is on the verge of death, I was born and died several times that year, selected from the army into the battalion, and accumulated merit to the total, that day happened to coincide with me with my brothers to inspect the drill, heard the call for help and rushed to the rescue, and finally saved the father-in-law's family of more than a dozen people in danger. ”

"Then my grandfather married his daughter in order to thank my father-in-law for his great kindness?" Li Yongzhong was fascinated by what he heard and couldn't help but make a guess.

"Hmph." Chen Xianda snorted a few times from his nasal cavity, and his face was obviously not good, "How is it possible!" Back then, my father-in-law thanked me again and again, and then I sent his family back to the city, and I accidentally saw your mother-in-law on the way......" He smiled, his face was a little softer, "I went back to the camp, and I thought about it for a few days, and finally I was young and vigorous, and I didn't know the height of the sky, and I went straight to my father-in-law's house, and I startled the old man when I opened my mouth - I, a fighting man, a big-headed soldier, was so obsessed with a ghost that I wanted to ask to marry a girl from the old man's family!" ”

"My brother-in-law, who was there, was going to drive me out. The father-in-law was silent for a while, and didn't say yes or no. Later, I was kicked out of the door by my brother-in-law, hehe, I still remember my brother-in-law angrily scolding: 'The toad wants to eat swan meat!' ’”

"Hehe, marriage is the life of the matchmaker in the words of the parents, the father is still there, what is the brother? From that day on, every time the camp was on holiday, I would visit my door, and after a whole year, my father-in-law relented and was willing to talk to me. ”

"What are you going to tell your father when I am my father?" At the same time, Chen was chatting with his daughter in the warm pavilion in the back room. She knew that her daughter had a plan in her heart and a big idea. Although it has always been the parents' opinion on the matter of marriage, the parents who are slightly more open must first communicate with their children, how can it really be a blind marriage and a dumb marriage. As a parent, how can you not hope for the well-being of your children? Previously, Chen knew that her husband was engaged to marry the Li family, and she was so angry that she scolded Chen Xianda to the point of blood-although she was born in a scholarly family, she had been married to a military man for a long time, and she was also dyed with a bit of a fierce atmosphere in her bones.

On the contrary, it was her daughter Pei Pei who comforted her: "Father looks coarse, but the inside is fine." I heard that this deceased man was the benefactor of my father and uncle, and my father would not respond to him indiscriminately. If the Li family is really an unsuccessful person," the girl's gentle and lovely face showed heroism, lowered her head and smiled, and said, "I will let him know what it means to have a good wife and a daughter." ”

"My grandfather asked my father why he was courting?" Chen Peipei asked the little maid to give the citrus, and peeled it for her mother, she smiled: "My father has said it in his daughter's ear since she was a child, and I have heard it many times. After speaking, she suddenly showed a little cunning between her eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "I still remember my father said that it was his sincerity that moved my grandfather." ”

Chen's hand was about to hit his daughter on the head, "Dead girl, even your father dares to joke!" In the end, he couldn't help it, sneered, and said falsely: "You! It's really like your lazy old man, and he doesn't have the demeanor of my Chen family at all! ”

Chen Peipei ate a petal of orange slowly, suddenly chuckled, and said generously: "Didn't I hear that the guest who came to the door today said that I am very similar to my father and 'very beautiful'?" "Loose and generous, without the slightest shyness of a boudoir woman.

Seeing her like this, Chen glared at her hatefully, and first recited the Buddha to himself: "Amitabha! Look at you like this, where is it like a daughter's house! Which is he? Yes? What is a guest who comes to your door today? Speaking of this, he was really angry: "He is your fiancé!" This is also something that can be laughed at casually!? ”

Seeing her mother glaring at her, Chen Peipei coughed lightly, put down the half-peeled orange, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, lowered her eyebrows, and said softly: "Mother has taught me a lesson." ”

Seeing her low eyebrows and pleasing to her eyes, Chen's heart softened, and he hugged his daughter into his arms like a child, patted it a few times, and sighed gently: "Your mother is not an old-fashioned Taoist, but her daughter's family is really hard in this world, and she doesn't dare to make a wrong step." Your grandfather has been a gentleman and a gentleman all his life, what is the explanation? Isn't it that people's hearts are easy to overcome, and they must always bow down to introspection, and dare not get angry because they are alone in the dark room. ”

"You have been smart since you were a child, and your father and I have never regretted that you are a daughter. But Pei Pei, life is difficult, 'life is labor, death is rest', in fact, how can you rest when you die? The history books are endless, or praised, or scolded, where can you close your eyes and listen? ”

Pei Pei snuggled up to her mother, and whispered when she heard the words: "Is my mother also worried and afraid?" ”

"Who is not afraid!" Just like going back to many years ago when her daughter was young, Chen gently patted her daughter's back and whispered in her ear: "From the court minister to the peddler's pawn, who is willing to listen to people speak ill of themselves!" Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, Wang Mang is humble and not usurped, Pei Pei, you remember, how vulgar people are in the world, they like to see what you say, but they don't care how you do it. If you want to do something, if you want to listen to people, you can't do it even if you die! If you blow the conch, just let it go! ”

Suddenly another rain began in the afternoon, and the thick clouds of ink fell low, and a cloud of soot was enveloped between the heavens and the earth. In the rain. The wisps of rain beat on the roof tiles and walls, and the pavement, after a long time, the dampness gradually dispersed, and a layer of somber or vivid color appeared. The puddles of stone slabs reflect the cruising gray sky, and the occasional footsteps and horses' hooves break when they are splashed over.

Li Yongzhong turned around and bowed deeply to Chen Xianda, then got up and said: "My son-in-law's trip has been successful, and I will return to my hometown in a few days, and I will come to Yibin to visit the two adults again when the spring flowers bloom next year." ”

Chen Xianda patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "Your own family is in Fushun, be careful of the past!" A little hesitant, but the words were already on his lips, Chen Xianda hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "You have to succeed in the matter with your eldest brother." Again, his voice was as low as a mosquito: "I'm in Yibin, and when I'm useful, I'm helping." ”

Li Yongzhong didn't even move his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "Thank you, father-in-law." If you want to use it, the son-in-law should not be polite. ”

The group was about to leave, and suddenly saw a little maid running out of the door, she looked around, and beckoned to He Tai to let him over, pursed her lips and smiled and handed him a burden. Then he blessed them and hurried back into the courtyard. He Tai took it in a daze, returned to Li Yongzhong's side, and said ignorantly: "Zhong Guan'er, this is ......"

Li Cheng smiled and said, "What's more!" Hurry up and put it away for Zhong Guan'er! ”

"Alright!" Chen Xianda said sourly: "Someone must have returned the gift to you!" He waved his hand at him again and said leisurely: "The road is slippery on a rainy day, come back early!" ”

A smile flashed on the young man's face, and he finally glanced at the gray and low-key mansion, then resolutely turned back to the car and shouted softly: "Go home!" ”
