Fang Hanniang didn't speak.

The morning light came in obliquely from the window, and the girl's cheeks were as white as jade, as if shining.

It's just that the girl lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes cast shadows, and she couldn't see the look in her eyes clearly.

Ruan Chuxiao exhaled deeply, and the title on the tip of her tongue still spit out softly: "Cousin......"

Fang Hanniang still didn't speak.

Ruan Chuxiao was also a little unsure of what Fang Hanniang meant, like those disobedient little ones in his family, he swept his eyes, and he could guess the other party's thoughts. But it's really too difficult to guess the girl's thoughts.

The two of them were silent together, and the atmosphere was very strange.

I don't know how long it took, there was a steady sound of footsteps outside, Ruan Chuxiao's face changed, and before he could say anything, he heard a thick male voice outside the door: "Zhiqing, Zhiming, why are you outside?" ”

The two little guys were stumbling for a long time, and they didn't know how to tell their master, saying that the third young master brought a girl back to talk in the study, and they naturally retreated with interest?

The male voice gradually got closer, and seemed to be a little impatient: "In the past, I looked at one or two people who were very clever, why can't I even reply now?" ”

The male voice was getting closer and closer, and the door of the study was slightly closed, and it was pushed open with a creak.

Ruan Chuxiao was also stunned when she heard his father's voice at first, glanced at Fang Hanniang, and found that she seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and looked at her as if she was asking.

Before Ruan Chuxiao could say anything, she heard the door open.

Ping Guogong, who had not yet taken off his official uniform, first saw his son, was stunned, and just wanted to say, "What are you doing here, third child", when he saw a pretty little girl standing in the shadow next to him.

Ping Guogong's eyes froze slightly, as if he took a step forward in disbelief, looked the little girl up and down, and lost his voice in his throat for a moment.

Those eyebrows, those eyes, such a slightly lowered appearance, really look like his abducted girl!

Ruan Chuxiao saw that her father was so excited, and her heart was also slightly sour, she took a step forward and coughed lightly: "Dad, this is Miss Fang." Her mother-in-law has the same name and surname as her aunt...... I just let her see the portrait of my little aunt, so I should be right......"

Ping Guogong was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and the majestic General Ruan on the battlefield was rare to lose his temper in front of a little girl, and he said excitedly: "Little girl, you, where is your mother?" Take me to see her......"

Fang Hanniang sighed in her heart.

She cheered up and said, "This old gentleman, my mother has been sick and died for several years. ”

If Pingguo Gong is hit hard, the most cruel thing in the world is to make people have hope and puncture that hope.

He muttered, "It's been several years since I died...... It turns out that Qingqing has not died all these years...... At that time, he worked hard to catch the trafficker, and no matter how hard he tortured to extract a confession, he only said that Qingqing jumped into the river, the river was turbulent, and he searched along the river for a long time but did not find it, thinking that he was dead...... It turns out that Qingqing is not dead......"

Ping Guogong felt very sad in his heart, if he had known that those young people were not dead, he would have worked harder to find his sister, maybe he would have been able to get his sister back.

Ruan Qingqing's abduction has always been the most indescribable pain for the Ruan family over the years. Until the old grandfather was dying, he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart, so he kept holding Ping Guogong's hand, and said in a vague voice that he would go to Qingqing at the end of the day, and ask Ping Guogong to burn more paper for them, so as not to be bullied by their father and daughter below.

However, after all these years, Ping Guogong was sad for a while, eased up a little, looked at Fang Hanniang carefully, and found that this little girl's eyebrows and eyes were not ordinary exquisite, and even more delicate than Ruan Qingqing's appearance.

"What's your name? ......" Pingguo Gongqiang, who has always been mighty, squeezed a smile, and looked at Fang Hanniang in a complicated mood, "Your mother, have you ever talked about family matters?" ……”

The slight tremor in her voice made Fang Hanniang's heart sour. She sighed in her heart, thinking, forget it, after occupying the body of the original owner, the filial piety that should be fulfilled is still to be fulfilled.

Go with the flow!

After she figured it out, her body was also suddenly lighter. She raised her head and looked seriously at the man who was almost fifty years old on the other side, this should be her uncle.

Fang Hanniang said softly: "My surname is Fang, my name is Hanniang, and I have a ten-year-old sister named Zhiniang, and an eight-year-old younger brother...... My mother fell into the mountains and forests and lost her memory before marrying my father, and it was my father who rescued her, she only remembered that her name was Ruan Qingqing, and she couldn't remember the others. ”

"No wonder all these years, Qingqing has lived in the world but has not come to find his family......" Ping Guogong's beard trembled when he heard this, not only for Ruan Qingqing's early death, but also for Ruan Qingqing to leave a bloodline descendant in the world.

They had long thought that Ruan Qingqing was no longer alive, but they didn't expect that they would have three children, which could be regarded as soothing the hearts of their relatives.

Ping Guogong looked like he was going to pull Fang Hanniang to have a long talk, Ruan Chuxiao coughed on the side and reminded: "Dad, grandmother and her old family have always been concerned about the little aunt, although the little aunt is no longer there, but the little aunt's children are still alive, and the grandmother and her old man should be able to comfort a lot." ”

Ping Guogong glared at Ruan Chuxiao, this was no longer the amiability of the other party's Han Niang, and he completely looked unpleasant: "You stinky boy, you still hide it from me when you find Han Niang!" …… If I hadn't come back today to pick up something and bumped into me, how long would you be hiding it from me?! ”

Ruan Chuxiao is a famous young general in the army, not a hairy young man, let Lao Tzu scold like this in front of the cousin he just found, his face is somewhat unbearable, but he can't scold his father, so he has to explain in a low voice: "Dad, isn't it a coincidence that I was afraid before, I didn't bring Han Niang to look at the picture scroll, let her see if it was her mother's ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the excited Ping Guogong, who pointed at Fang Hanniang and said to Ruan Chuxiao: "What is the coincidence? Look at these eyebrows, they are exactly the same as your little aunt when she was a child, this look, at first glance, it is the species of our Ruan family, what is the coincidence?! I think you're an unfilial son, you just want to be angry with you, isn't it! ”

Ruan Chuxiao smiled bitterly in embarrassment, and he glanced at Fang Hanniang depressedly.

Fang Hanniang pursed her lips and relieved Ruan Chuxiao: "Old gentleman, don't scold Ruan Gongzi anymore, I'm afraid it's a coincidence......

"What old gentleman!" Ping Guogong interrupted Fang Hanniang's words unhappily, "I am your mother's brother, your uncle, call uncle!" ”

Fang Hanniang paused and shouted softly, "Uncle." ”

"Hey!" Ping Guogong is getting old, and when he heard this uncle, his beard almost turned up.

Whether in the court or in the Yamen, Ping Guogong is a dignified and solemn appearance, and occasionally scolds people madly, but he is so excited that even Ruan Chuxiao is still the first time to see him.

Ping Guogong looked at Fang Hanniang, and couldn't help but think of Ruan Qingqing's appearance when she was a girl, delicate like a budding flower still stained with dew, his eyes were slightly wet, and his lips trembled slightly for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "Where are your brothers and sisters?" …… Let's take it too, and our family can be reunited. ”

Fang Hanniang hesitated slightly: "My younger brothers and sisters are far away in Cloud City, and they are still ...... young."

"It's not far!" Pingguo Gong cut the railway, he looked at Ruan Chuxiao, "Okay, you go back to the army to ask for a long vacation, tomorrow, no, you will leave this afternoon, lead the private soldiers of the family, go to Yuncheng to pick up the two children......"

Darong stipulates that the Guogong can support 2,000 private soldiers, although these private soldiers are also on the list of Darong soldiers, but the salary of the army is to be paid by the Guogong Mansion itself, and if there is an emergency in wartime, it must unconditionally respond to the court's recruitment. What's more, if you raise a private soldier, you have to worry about whether you will have scruples about recruiting your superiors...... Therefore, in recent years, very few government offices have raised private soldiers, at most, they have raised one or two hundred for guards.

That is, the Ruan Mansion, an old state government that has been in Rong for several generations, still has a sufficient number of 2,000 private soldiers, and even trains them in the same way as the regular army on weekdays.

Ruan Chuxiao smiled bitterly.

Fang Hanniang also smiled bitterly: "Uncle, Zhiniang and Brother Huai don't know Cousin Ruan, how can they come back with him?" Besides, when my father saw the army led by Cousin Ruan, he might be worried......"

The word "father" poked the nerves of Ping Guogong, thinking that back then, although his little sister was raised in the deep boudoir and rarely went out to socialize, but over fourteen, the family who proposed the family almost stepped through the threshold of their Guogong Mansion, at that time, several brothers in the family were secretly holding their strength, to see who married his little sister in the end, and then they had to test it well, if they were not satisfied, they had to put on a sack and throw it into the alley.

As a result, the world is unpredictable, where did Ping Guogong think that the little sister was abducted at the Lantern Festival before she could let go.

Thinking of this, Ping Guogong felt uncomfortable again.

He glanced at Fang Hanniang, and said in his heart, looking at the appearance and bearing of this niece, the cheap brother-in-law should also be a character, but no matter what kind of character he is, it is certain that he is not worthy of Qingqing.

Ping Guogong was silent for a long time, and still skipped the topic of his brother-in-law.

However, what his niece said is also very reasonable, so that the third child who only has a stern face all day long will pick up the two dolls, and maybe he will be misunderstood as a bad person.

Ping Guogong was entangled, and there was a maid's voice in the courtyard outside, and Ping Guogong could hear that it was the powerful big maid Green Warbler beside the old lady.

The green warbler's voice was crisp, and she asked the two little guys outside: "Two elder brothers, the old lady heard that the third young master is back, and Tete asked me to invite the third young master to come over." I heard that the third young master came to Grandpa Guo's study, I wonder if I can help pass it on? ”

The two little girls knew that the green warbler was a big girl with a lot of face next to the old lady, where did they dare to treat it slowly, and one smiled and said: "Sister is polite, where can I call it a help?" ”

Another one had already come to knock on the door of the study: "Third young master, Sister Lu Ying said that the old lady is invited." ”
