"Daddy!" Zhang Pujia squatted down and saluted her father. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Why are you here?" Zhang Jingxian looked at his daughter dotingly, he is forty-five years old this year, and he has a son and a daughter. The youngest son, Zhang Bailu, is thirteen this year and is studying hard to gain fame. Daughter Pu Jia is sixteen years old, and she has reached the age of marriage, if Ren Siqi does not have an accident, maybe the two families have already talked about marriage.
Of course, now Zhang Jingxian will never marry his daughter to Ren Siqi again, he used to see that Ren Siqi was a young man with a bright future, but now he wants to find a husband for his daughter who is talented and well-matched.
Zhang Pujia has been very intelligent since childhood, and has made rapid progress in reading, dabbling in the four books and five classics, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and recently became obsessed with arithmetic. Zhang Jingxian often sighed that if Pu Jia was a boy, her achievements would not be under her cousin Zhang Huangyan.
"Daddy, my daughter was practicing arithmetic upstairs, and I heard that Ren Gongzi was here, but I don't know why he came?" Zhang Pujia asked generously.
Zhang Jingxian sighed, and then told Ren Siqi's intention.
"Since Ren Siqi was imprisoned, his temperament has changed greatly, and he is no longer the personable scholar of the past, but has become a worldly scoundrel, which is really sighing." Zhang Jingxian said, observing the look on her daughter's face as she spoke, trying to see from her daughter whether she still cared about Ren Siqi.
Zhang Pujia's expression darkened when she heard this, her feelings for Ren Siqi now are complicated, the former childhood sweetheart, and the marriage contract for several years made her regard Ren Siqi as her future husband, although she was angry with him countless times, and her soul was sad for his affair countless times, but when he stumbled into prison, she was still worried about him.
When his father took back his divorce papers, Zhang Pujia felt a little dazed, a little relieved, and a little sad in her heart.
When the news of his escape from prison came, she was glad for him, and she knew that the two would never see each other again, so she could only wish him a good life.
When she was held hostage by the robbers and desperate, he suddenly fell from the sky and fought the robbers to save her, and her heart was warm and full of joy of reunion. Although she quarreled with him over the injustice of her father Zhang Jingxian, although he became very rude, she preferred to believe that he had gone through too much suffering to become like this, and that he was much more mature in her eyes, more attractive than that merry scholar.
So when Que'er said that he had come to the house, she could no longer play with the calculations indifferently, but hurried down from the embroidery building, just to look at him.
Now that she heard her father talk about his wrongs, Zhang Pujia's expression was gloomy, and she instinctively wanted to defend him.
"Ren Gongzi is now helpless in Yinxian County, who else can he find besides his father? If Daddy can help, help him, after all, he still has a life-saving grace for his daughter. ā
Zhang Jingxian sighed, he heard his reluctance to Ren Siqi from his daughter's words.
"If it weren't for watching him save you, how would I have helped him again and again? I hope he can change his mind and become a new man! ā
"Daughter, you are not too young, and the marriage with Mr. Gao should be decided as soon as possible." Zhang Jingxian said tentatively to Zhang Pujia.
"No way!" Zhang Pujia refused.
Zhang Jingxian was stunned for a moment, she didn't have such a big reaction before.
"Why is that?" Zhang Jingxian asked calmly.
Zhang Pujia looked at her father with a resolute expression: "Gao Liqun conspired to frame Ren Gongzi, he is a despicable villain, how can I marry such a person!" ā
Out of Zhang's mansion, Ren Siqi walked gloomily on the street. Since hearing Zhang Huangyan's name, his heart has been difficult to calm down.
Once upon a time, he Ren Siqi was also praised by the people of Hexian County as Zhang Huangyan's second, and his reputation as a talent at the age of fifteen was even higher than Zhang Huangyan.
But a few years have passed, and Zhang Huangyan has become a lifter, and his status is much higher than before.
As for himself, he has become a murderer and a fugitive, although he is now cleared of charges, he has also become a white ding. At this time, the status of the two was far apart, which made Ren Siqi feel a little sad.
People are like this, when they hear that the people who used to be equal to themselves have risen to the top, but they are still struggling in the dirt, they will feel a little gloomy and unhappy!
There is also Zhang Huangyan in the memory of Ren Siqi from later generations, when the Qing soldiers went to the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Huangyan angrily raised troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, and his will to resist the Qing Dynasty for 20 years has never changed. When he was captured by the Qing soldiers, he was generous and righteous, and vowed not to surrender.
So in Ren Siqi's heart, Zhang Huangyan is not just a lifter, but also a hero, a national hero! It's just that Zhang Huangyan is still just a young man in his twenties.
Thinking about his experience in the past two months, Ren Siqi's mood slowly calmed down, since God has given me another memory, I can also make a vigorous career in this upcoming troubled world, there is no need to be arrogant and envious of others!
Energetic, Ren Siqi regained his fighting spirit, and returned home with the documents written by Zhang Jingxian to Zhang Huangyan.
Under the vigorous cleaning of Xiong Er and others, the home has been much cleaner. After Ren Xingfan bought furniture and daily necessities, this house became a home again.
Ah Zi's younger brother Chen Mingyang has been brought back by Xiaoshi, changed into clean clothes, and lived in the mansion.
The two were still young, so Ren Siqi ordered them to look after their family in the house, and he himself wanted to take Xiong Er and the others to Hangzhou.
"Young master, you better let me go with you, no one can take care of you on the way." Little Stone said to Ren Siqi with tears in his eyes.
"Do you think the young master is still the same as before?" Ren Siqi rubbed Shishi's hair dotingly, "I don't need you to take care of it now, you just take care of this family, and read more books when you have nothing to do, I have found a private school for you and Ayang, and from tomorrow you both will go to the private school to study." ā
"Study!" Shi pouted, his personality was out-of-the-box, and he was never a person who could read with peace of mind.
"Young master, don't worry, I will study hard." Chen Mingyang is a good boy, and he repeatedly promised Ren Siqi.
Looking at this child and thinking of his sister Ah Zi, Ren Siqi felt gloomy in his heart, and also reached out to rub his hair.
"Good job, study hard, just like your name, one day you will be famous all over the world!"
"Stone, since you are studying, I'll give you a big name." Ren Siqi said.
"Okay, good, it's always called stones, but it's not good." Stone was pleasantly surprised.
Ren Siqi asked, "What's your family name?" ā
"I don't know, I've been wandering since I was a child, and then I came to the house." The stone rubbed his head and said embarrassedly.
"Forget it, you just have my surname, let's call Ren Jun, I hope your stone can grow as tall as a mountain."
