At this moment, no one regards Sheng Xuanhuai as a twelve-year-old child anymore, even Sheng Long is a fluctuation of heart, in recent months, he has observed every move of the Democratic Alliance at any time, except for a few aspects that he can't understand and can't get used to, he basically agrees.

The folk rumors that Wang Feng is the second Zhu Yuanzhang, Sheng Long also believes that it is very likely after analysis, he is more and more optimistic about the Qing Dynasty, but Wang Feng forcibly abducted Sheng Xuanhuai, and forcibly demanded 50,000 catties of grain.

As for Sheng Xuanhuai, although he was also quite proud, he said with a straight face on the surface: "Okay, okay, you are proud when you come out to do things, I think even if you have achievements, they are very limited." ”

Sheng Xuanhuai stuck out his tongue and obediently admitted his mistake: "What my grandfather taught me is that my grandson got carried away. ”

"Hmm~~" Sheng Long waved his hand back noncommittally: "You all go down." ”

"Yes!" The women bowed one after another, after all, according to the rules, they were not allowed to come forward to entertain guests, but because Sheng Xuanhuai had been home for a few months, so they came to have a look.

But Sheng Xuanhuai's brothers and sisters did not go far, but pulled Sheng Xuanhuai out of the house, chirping and asking, Sheng Xuanhuai naturally boasted, Sheng Long ignored it, beckoned everyone to sit down, and ordered the maid to serve tea, and then asked: "Commander Wang is busy, I don't know why I came here today?" ”

Wang Feng smiled and said, "Look at what Elder Sheng said, I really have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. First of all, Sheng Huaixuan didn't dare to go home, for fear that your old man would blame me, so I had to take the time to accompany him over. Secondly", he stood up and bowed deeply: "Secondly, I apologize for the offending place that day, and ask for the forgiveness of Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng." ”

"Alas~~" Zhang sighed and said helplessly: "Commander Wang, you were in trouble that day, and the old man and I can understand it after thinking about it." Besides, you haven't done anything to our Sheng family, maybe it's the other way around. Our Sheng family also avoided a catastrophe because of your timely help, so we should thank you. ”

Sheng Long brushed his beard and agreed: "That's exactly the reason!" ”

"Good!" Wang Feng nodded: "Then the grievances and festivals will be offset, and next, I have a few serious things I want to discuss with Sheng Lao." The top priority is the question of Ling Lang's whereabouts, and I don't need to say much about the stakes, I want to ask Sheng Lao to write a letter to Ling Lang to go home. ”

Sheng Long did not rush to respond, but stroked his beard and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "My Sheng family has taken root in Longxi for hundreds of years, even if the old man is willing to move away at any cost, I'm afraid Commander Wang, you will not agree, and now Xuanhuai is already working under you." It was indeed inappropriate for the dog to serve the Qing court again, and after a while, the old man wrote to him to come back. ”

It's good to talk to smart people, and you don't have to talk too much. Wang Feng hurriedly thanked him: "Elder Sheng understands the righteousness, Wang has thanked him." ”

Zhang's family pulled Sheng Long and whispered: "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that loyalty and filial piety are not perfect, Kang'er is not to the court, but to the Qing court, I am afraid that he may not be willing to return to his hometown." ”

"Eh~~" Sheng Long waved his hand violently: "Isn't it said that the old man is critically ill?" Then there is loyalty and filial piety. The old man still doesn't believe that he didn't even come to meet him when he died! ”

Zhang immediately blamed: "You dead old man has no mouth, how can you have a reason to curse yourself?" ”

Sheng Long said indifferently: "Tell me what's wrong?" I can eat and sleep. Isn't it good that the writing hand doesn't tremble? ”

Wang Feng then smiled and said: "Sheng Lao is full of red face, strong spirits, I don't dare to boast about living to be a hundred years old, but it will not be a problem to live for another twenty years!" ”

"Yes, yes! Sheng Lao looks like a longevity! Shen Mingshao and Han Yingjie both praised!

Zhang was speechless, and glared at them one by one angrily!

Although Sheng Long is more than sixty years old this year, his back is straight, his voice is loud, and his spirit is no less than that of a strong man, he obviously has the confidence to live for another twenty years, he laughed for a while, and then asked: "Commander Wang, what is the second thing?" ”

Wang Feng solemnly arched his hand: "Wang is not talented, please ask the old lady Sheng and the old lady to take the lead in changing customs, cut off the braids, and unwrap the footsteps!" ”

In an instant, the smile on Sheng Long's face suddenly closed, Zhang's eyebrows also showed an unhappy color, the atmosphere in the room suddenly tense, Sheng Xuanhuai's brothers and sisters, heard clearly outside, because of their own concern, they stopped the noise, picked up the door frame and looked in, among which Sheng Xuanmei was the most nervous, her hatred for the footcloth can be described as gritting her teeth, this summer, the feet were blistered, red and swollen, and even the toes were a little ulcerated, especially the fiery feeling made her sleepless all night, if she wasn't scared, She had already taken off her footcloth!

Inside and outside the house, the silent needles could be heard, but Wang Feng suddenly laughed and said: "Old Sheng and the old lady don't have to act like a big enemy, let's come one by one, start with Sheng Lao, may I ask Sheng Lao, would you like to cut your braids?" ”

Although Sheng Long had long expected that Wang Feng might make such a request, he never made a decision, and he had braided hair for more than sixty years, and his feelings were not ordinarily deep, and he was very difficult to decide, and he didn't squeak for a long time.

Han Yingjie couldn't help but persuade: "Elder Sheng, when did we Han people have braids before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs?" You've probably heard of the tragedy 200 years ago, right? My Jiangsu Province had a population of 120 million in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, but it was only restored to 20 million in the Yongzheng period. This is a shame and a blood feud!

In fact, you know the truth, it's just that it's hard to give up for a while, we were very uncomfortable for a while after cutting off the braids, but now, you see that we don't even have long hair, short hair is easy to take care of, neat and spiritual, and the scalp is not itchy! ”

Shen Mingshao also said: "I don't know about other houses, but there are very few people in Suzhou City who have braids, and among them are mainly foreign merchants, in addition, I will tell you about Brother Sheng, he is a member of the Democratic League, and the Democratic Alliance Army is not allowed to keep braids, so he does not keep your many grandchildren but stays, is it unfair?" My family wants a bowl of water, right? So saying, he turned his head and called out to the outside of the house, "Do you want to cut your braids?" ”

"Yes!" The children shouted in unison, and turned their expectant eyes to Sheng Long, not only did they have no feelings for the braids, but they also envied Sheng Xuanhuai's hearty and neat clothes, the leather boots that sounded on the shoulder, both powerful and magnificent, and the big cap, with the spirit of adding three points!

Sheng Long looked at the past one by one, he himself can not cut, but what about the children? On the territory of the Democratic Alliance, there are Sheng Xuanhuai's words and deeds, how long can the braids last?

"Hey~~" Sheng solemnly sighed, and reluctantly pulled the braid and touched it repeatedly, and it took a long time before he waved his hand: "Take the scissors!" (To be continued)
