Chapter Seventy-Two: You're Welcome
"Hu'er."
Jinghu heard the voice and followed the voice, it was her father who had returned from outside.
She subconsciously stood up straight and saluted in a proper manner. Ke Mingxu, who was beside her, also bowed his hand and said hello to her father.
The king of Yongning County strode in, but he didn't pay attention to Jinghu first, but said to Ke Mingxu with a smile: "How can Mingxu have time to come here today, I heard that I often call you to accompany me when I come in today." Are you here to see Bi Niang? ”
It's actually far beyond the politeness of ordinary juniors.
Ke Mingxu replied respectfully to him, "I heard that Bi Niang was unwell, and my mother couldn't rest assured, so I deliberately asked Mingxu to come over to visit because there have been a lot of things recently, so I didn't have time until I went down." ”
He glanced at Jinghu again, "I happened to meet the little county lord who was also accompanying Bi Niang, so I did my best to send Ming Xu out of the house." ”
This is for fear that she will be punished by her elders like last time, so speak for her first. Although in front of her father, he would not punish her harshly for anything she did, not to mention that it was not a big deal.
But of course she was happy that he defended her like this, and thought about her sake.
Jinghu originally looked at Ke Mingxu with a smile on her face, but her father suddenly glanced at her, and she quickly stood up straight and lowered her head slightly. can't let her father teach her a lesson in front of Ke Mingxu again.
"It's rare for Mingxu to come here, you are the master, and you really should act like this. It was your mother who taught you well. ”
Last time, she and Ke Mingxu were bumped into by the princess of the county when they were alone together, and the princess of the county accused her of being uneducated, just like her mother, and today her father said that her mother taught her well.
Whether there is prejudice and partiality about a person can really be reflected everywhere.
However, when the elders call the juniors, they usually call him by his cousin, why does her father call Ke Mingxu by his name? Speaking of which, she doesn't seem to know Ke Mingxu's words all along.
Ke Mingxu was still greeting the king of Yongning County, "It's the little county lord who is too polite." Bi Niang often has trouble, and it is not rare, but her mother is sick and it is not easy to go out to visit. It's really annoying. ”
After getting married, the mother's family has to come to visit from time to time, if the relationship between the two families is good, it is just a matter of coming and going often. But their family didn't have much friendship with Master Ke Taishi in the past, and Ke Mingxu was a man, so it was no wonder that he wanted to say this.
The king of Yongning said: "What can this be." Shen'er is still often away from home after marrying a wife, she is pregnant, you are Bi Niang's brother, you can't rest assured, it's also a normal thing, you don't have to be so formal. ”
Ke Mingxu just smiled and didn't speak again.
Her father seemed to be very interested in talking today, and he still didn't let him go, "I heard Hu'er say that you found a teacher for her to teach the Ele language, and she is ignorant, so she bothered you again." ”
It turned out that her father had talked so much today, and he still couldn't rest assured of her.
Ke Mingxu said: "It's not a big problem, he is the grandson of my former teacher, and he has a pure character, so it shouldn't be a big problem to teach the little county master." It's a good thing that the county lord can have the heart to learn, and it's just a gesture for me. ”
Jinghu tugged at the corner of her father's clothes, "Brother Ke Shi said, that teacher will be able to enter the mansion in a few days." When my father asked about it again, it wouldn't be a repentance. ”
may regret it in front of her, but in front of Ke Mingxu, knowing that people have already negotiated, they will not regret it.
King Yongning looked down at her, "In your eyes, your father is a villain who always goes back on his word?" ”
Jinghu laughed and said doggedly: "Of course not, my father is the most wise and martial." However, I don't seem to have asked Brother Ke how many restraints he needed to ask this teacher. ”
She said to Ke Ming again: "Brother Ke Shi mentions it, it is difficult to find a teacher who can teach the Eile language, and my father is rich and rich, and he has as much gold and silver as he wants." ”
Ke Mingxu thought for a while, "I'm naturally not worried about money, but he now lives alone in the south of the city, and it may not be very convenient to travel to and from the east of the city every day, if the mansion can prepare a place for him, it would be the best." ”
The distance from the south of the city to the east of the city is not close, and if you are an ordinary person, you don't have a carriage or can ride a horse, which is indeed a very troublesome thing.
But it was not difficult to prepare a place for him to live, and the old man who used to teach Jinghu to read lived in a separate courtyard in the mansion.
Jinghu looked at her father, waiting for her father to come down.
"Although Mingxu is relieved, although I am a martial artist and I know the truth of respecting teachers, it is just a courtyard, and when the time comes, it will be properly arranged for Hu'er's mother to come forward."
Seeing that he still had the intention of continuing, Jing Hu hurriedly interrupted him, "Father, Brother Ke Shi is going to the Eldest Princess Chong'an Mansion today, if you have any matter, let's talk about it next time." ”
She was afraid that she would delay Ke Mingxu's matter, and said that she wanted to send him, but she deliberately pressed her steps very small, and she could reach the gate of the mansion in half the time, but at this time it was dark.
Coupled with a nagging father, even if he rides a horse, he may have to make a mistake, and besides, it is not convenient to walk at night after all.
She didn't know the character of his teacher, and if he cared about time and hated being late, wouldn't he be in trouble. She couldn't help but regret it.
In fact, she felt that her father was a little strange today, he never talked to people on weekdays, and he almost didn't have a good face for his own sons, that is, he was kind to her eldest brother.
No matter how powerful Ke Mingxu is, he is also a junior after all.
Speaking of this, the king of Yongning County smiled and said: "Since Mingxu has something, I won't delay you today." I'll visit your grandfather at the house the next day, and we'll talk to you again. ”
Ke Mingxu smiled politely, saluted again, and walked out quickly.
In front of the King of Yongning, Jinghu didn't dare to go too far, just glanced back at him, and followed her father into the door.
On the contrary, he didn't have anything to say to her, but asked her nonchalantly, "Is your sister-in-law's health better?" ”
Jinghu said: "Sister-in-law said that she was much better, but her face was still pale and scary. Brother Ke Shi also understands medical skills, and he is the brother of his sister-in-law, so he may also want Brother Ke Shi to show her. ”
"Oh?" The king of Yongning County replied and said with interest: "Hu'er seems to know him very well. ”
Jinghu choked for a moment before he said, "I also sent Brother Ke Shi out, and I listened to him on the way." ”
King Yongning nodded, "You go to Qixue Pavilion to find your mother first, I still have something to do, I want to go to the study to discuss matters, so I won't go to accompany your mother to dinner." ”
Jinghu didn't have anything to say, smiled yes, and walked to the inner courtyard with Doulu. As she walked, she thought about her father's attitude, and halfway through it, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't given the letter to Ke Mingxu yet.
