Chapter 74: Father Zhang's Monologue
Qingqing is a wife, which is a great blessing in this life.
People say that I have a good way to do business, and I am infatuated with my wife, saying that Qingqing has a great creation in the previous life, so I have cultivated the good fortune of this life. I only give those people two words: "Fart!" β
They only saw where I succeeded, but they didn't know that I didn't know what to do when I was young, and I didn't know where to start. My father and mother went early, and the relatives who separated from the family were eyeing the property of the main family. At that time, I felt like a puppet, and everyone wanted to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. I'm actually a useless person.
Qingqing is a few years older than me, although she is a woman but very manly, her family and my family have a little friendship, the first time I saw her, I yearn for that heroic woman.
She found me peeking at her, smiled at me unabashedly, and said in private that I couldn't help but laugh, and blushed at her.
"Just look, what are you blushing for?" She patted me on the head and I dodged me.
"Don't, don't shoot, you'll not grow tall!" I bowed my head and said bloodied in my face.
Qingqing smiled after hearing this, and then really withdrew her hand and stood in front of me in a proper manner. I couldn't tell if I was relieved or a little disappointed.
"If only I were like you." I couldn't help but wonder.
Qingqing looked surprised when she heard this, and pointed her finger at herself. "Like me? What do boys envy girls? β
Boys don't have to work as women, they don't have to sit in the yard all day and don't let them go out, they can say whatever they want, they can do whatever they want. What does he have to envy himself?
But after learning about the situation of the Zhang family, she understood a little.
"That's... I'll help you. β
Qingqing did what she said, and waited for the slightly older clansmen to question: "An outsider, why should he get involved in the affairs of the Zhang family?" β
Qingqing's face did not change, she stood beside me and held my hand, glanced at me, as if she had made up her mind in an instant, and said, "Outsiders? Am I still an outsider if I marry him? She looked at me, raised her head and said, "Little red face, marry or not marry you!" β
"Marry!" I shook her hand and said firmly.
Since then, she has been like a female general and military advisor, leading me to charge into battle in the trading house, killing countless enemies, and completely gaining a firm foothold in the Zhang family. Under her influence, I slowly became stronger and more bloody. I want to give us a way out, so that she feels that her choice was the right one, no matter how many years she looks back, she will not regret it, even if she is given another chance, she will not hesitate.
Later, Qingqing and I had our first pair of children, Shihua and Tingyu. I didn't know it was twins at the beginning of pregnancy, and I didn't know why I was happy. Later, the month got older, and the belly was also bizarre, and the doctor saw that it was twins, but I was a little worried.
"I'm not worried, what are you doing with a bitter face?" We lay on the bed, Qingqing said.
"Worried, why don't you worry? I've heard that giving birth to one is scary enough, but what about these twins? "I couldn't sleep, and I was afraid of startling her, so I crept up and put on my clothes and wandered around the yard. I felt that the child had broken the old father's heart before it was born, and others thought that I was more restless than the pregnant Qingqing.
Qingqing woke up in the middle of the night and felt that I was not there, and shouted habitually: "Don't come back if you don't go back to the room." β
So I ran back to the futs, got into the bed, played with her, and put the person to sleep.
In the end, I got two pink jade dumplings like a baby, and Qingqing and I held them in our hands all day long and didn't let go, and we did everything ourselves.
Qingqing consumed too much, and still damaged her body. About four years later, the third child came. I named her Qi Ning.
Because I had children before, this time it was good whether it was a man or a woman, and I was more worried that Qingqing's body could not stand it, and she had been very weak since she gave birth.
Shihua is a good and sensible child, and my sister knows that I am dedicated to her mother, and takes the initiative to take over the work of taking care of Qi Ning.
"Dad, A-Ning has me, and the nurse. You can rest assured. β
She has always been steady in her work, quite a gentleman's demeanor, and I am also very happy in my heart, so I can rest assured that San'er will be handed over to her. Qingqing scolded me after hearing about this, "Are you confused, Hua'er is still a child herself, are you such a father!" β
After speaking, he immediately brought Qi Ning to her side to take care of her, and Shihua also stayed aside. Seeing that she was doing everything in an orderly manner, Qingqing relieved her heart, but I was still the one who was scolded. "Look at Hua'er, are you embarrassed to say that you are a father?"
Naturally, I have nothing to do with her, and everything goes smoothly. But then her body became weaker and weaker, and in the end, she was afraid that Qi Ning would be sick and let people take her out.
Two years later, Qingqing finally left me. She said two things to me before leaving. "If I don't look at you, I'm not at ease, you have to remember it alone."
I couldn't help but nod and held her hand by the bedside. What a man has tears without flicking, him!
She sighed, as if she didn't believe it but was helpless. "Hua'er, Ting'er, and Ning'er, I'll leave them all to you. Hua'er has a temperament with me, and I am very relieved. Ting'er has a lively temperament, much stronger than when you were a child. Ning'er is quiet, she usually doesn't cry or make trouble, I'm afraid she likes to hold things in her heart in the future. She is the eldest, how much you love her, don't be troublesome. β
I kept saying yes to her, but after she died, I sadly left it all behind. In fact, I have been to see Qi Ning a few times, and the child's appearance is very standard, and he will definitely be a beauty in the future, just like Qingqing. Thinking of my deceased wife, my mood went down again, and my heart was empty.
Hearing that Qi Ning was four years old and hadn't spoken yet, he couldn't help but be a little worried and was about to ask the doctor to take a look. However, at this time, Ning'er spoke, "No need. I'm fine, I don't need a doctor. β
I was stunned, listening to Ning'er's words was much clearer and louder than most four-year-olds. So I forgot about asking for a doctor, and I thought about whether to find a teacher for Ning'er, it would always be good for girls to read more books and have more knowledge. So I found the descendant named An Yuanxi.
I look at him Sven, but when I think of being born after all, I am committed to handing over a six-year-old doll, will I not be happy if I am high-spirited? So I let him live in Zhangfu, and his life was properly arranged, but he couldn't let go of it in his heart. Ning'er is a young child and a girl, her sister and brother are competitive, and she just needs to find something to do when she studies, so she doesn't have to be too strict.
So I said euphemistically to the descendant: "There is no need to be like her sisters and brothers, she has any interests, and the husband just looks at and teaches them." β
It mainly depends on what Ning'er is interested in, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't teach it well, just don't be impatient with the child and lose your temper.
I saw that Hou Sheng should cope well, and later I heard from the people in the house that Mr. An was patient and responsible for Ning'er, from the study to the details of life, everything that could be taken care of was taken care of, and he was a very gentle and friendly person. At this point, I can rest assured, and I will find someone to ask how it is doing.
One day, passing by the garden, I saw Ning'er sitting alone on the swing and lonely, looking up at the sky in a daze. Remembering that Qingqing said that this child is quiet, and I am afraid that she will like to hold things in her heart in the future, I couldn't help but reach forward and pat her on the shoulder.
Before I could reach out, she turned her around, so alert.
I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's a lot more beautiful than the last time, to be honest, I'm half sad and half happy. Happily, my daughter's appearance is really speechless, with black and clear eyes and fair and tender snow skin, it is really beautiful to the heart. The worry is that my daughter is so beautiful, she will definitely look better after she grows up, and I don't know which stinky boy will be cheaper.
Why don't you consider getting involved? No, no, most of the men who go to other people's homes are unproductive. He has to tell Hua'er and Ting'er that he must strictly investigate, strictly investigate, and strictly investigate the stinky men who are close to Ning'er.
ββ¦ Daddy? β
The soft and soft voice woke me up from tangled thoughts, I really hadn't heard Ning'er call me for a long time. I squatted down with a smile, squatted down in front of her, raised my hand and touched her head, and said, "Ning'er, what are you looking at?" β
"Didn't see anything."
"Why didn't anyone follow? Are the people around you lazy? I said solemnly.
I saw Qi Ning shook his head and said obediently: "I don't like people to follow." β
"No classes today?"
"Mr. Today is on vacation."
"Oh, why don't you go and play with my brother and sister?"
She tilted her head, blinked her eyes and said, "Brother, sister is studying family affairs, and I will disturb them when I go." β
That's good. I turned back to the housekeeper and said, "A few days ago, I remember that there was a pink-white checkered cherry blossom pattern hand bow ball, the workmanship is very exquisite, you go and pick it up and give it to the third lady." β
"Yes, sir."
I turned around and saw Ning Er looking at me with some confusion in her eyes, and after a while, she disappeared again.
I said, "I used to play with your mother when I was a child. Ning'er, will Dad play with you for a while? β
"Daddy, don't you have to look at the account today?"
I was stunned.
I heard from the people who taught Hua'er that although Hua'er is young, she is very talented in business, and it is no longer difficult for her to look after the accounts, and Ting'er is not bad. After knowing this, I consciously or unconsciously handed over the affairs of the family to the two of them, and now I don't have much to do.
Seeing that I didn't refuse, Ning Er smiled at me, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her nose and lips were sakuring, which reminded me of Qingqing. After playing for a while, the housekeeper reminded me that it was time to go back, and that there would be something I needed to attend to, so I left.
"Ning'er, Dad left beforehand, you are good. If there is something, I will go to my sister and brother. β
"Okay."
With that, I couldn't help but reach out and rub her head again. The thoughts that had flashed countless times in my mind suddenly resurfaced, and recently I often thought of Qingqing, Hua'er and Ting'er can take charge of themselves in terms of ability, and Ning'er should be fine with them to take care of her. Qingqing, can I come to you? I miss you so much...
"Daddy's gone."
"Hmm."
I smiled at Ning'er and turned to go back.
On that day I dismissed all the servants in the court, and no one remained. Although Qingqing is a girl, she yearns for the rivers and lakes, and I also found a sword made by a famous craftsman for her, and finally decided to use this to tie herself up. The sword was sharpened like clay, and it passed quickly.
"Qingqing, I really can't do it without you. If you want to scold, I'll scold enough when I go down. β
I smiled and wiped my neck with a long sword, saying that sharpening iron is like mud, it hurts so much that I really don't want it!
"Dingβ"
There was a muffled sound of landing behind him, mixed with the sound of bells, exactly the same as the sound of the handbow ball I gave to Ning'er. In an instant, the blood in his whole body seemed to have coagulated, and he let go of the sword and subconsciously covered the wound on his neck. Accompanied by her weak "... Daddy", slowly turning his body around.
I saw that Ning Er's face turned white all of a sudden, and I wanted to get close to my legs and feet, but I didn't obey the call and collapsed to the ground.
Finished. Let Ning'er see it, what can I do!
I tried to speak to her not to be afraid, although I knew it was in vain, I hadn't given up, but as soon as I looked up, I caught a glimpse of An Yuanxi outside the door. I saw that his face was shocked with inexplicable joy, and I felt that something was wrong. He walked into the room, ignoring me on the bloody ground, and focused all his attention on Ning'er.
It's weird... This person.
I struggled to stay conscious. Ning'er reacted and wanted to call the doctor, but An Yuanxi pressed my daughter into her arms, covered her mouth, and ignored my daughter's struggles, saying anything: "Miss is good, good... Your father misses your mother very much, and he committed suicide in the first place. Don't look for a doctor, let him go to your mother's kiss".
I pressed my neck and told myself I couldn't die yet. It's the same man, and you can't see it now? Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, this beast actually has that kind of mind for my seven-year-old daughter, those so-called meticulous care that I usually can't help but scold my mother when I think about it now!
"You... Ahem, An Yuanxi... What are you doing! Let go of my daughter - ahem, ahem! β
I remembered to save my daughter from the beast's arms, but I couldn't do anything. I could only watch An Yuanxi leave with Ning'er in his arms, and said to him before leaving: "You don't want it yourself." β
Brute... Brute! Let my daughter go! Because of his words, there was a tingling in my heart, and I didn't even dare to imagine where Ning'er would be taken by him, and what he would do to Ning'er.
My consciousness gradually began to blur, gritting my teeth and holding on to my breath, I can't die, Ning'er... I can't die right now. Qingqing, I was wrong, you help me, save Ning'er... Come on, come on!
"Daddy... Daddy, daddy, don't scare me, daddy! β
Ting'er... It's Ting'er!
I opened my eyes, grabbed his hand, and said, "Qi Ning, Qi Ning... Go find your sister. An Yuanxi... Can't stay! β
"Daddy... What do you mean? β
Bastard boy, doesn't he say he's smart? Why don't you understand, I'm really by him!
"I really miss you... I'm sorry... Tingyu. "Don't get Qi Ning wrong, go and save her!
"Go find your sister - go! Don't forget, An Yuanxi can't stay, he's kind to your sister, he-"
I couldn't do it anymore, my breathing began to become difficult, and my eyes began to darken. Finally, I saw Hua'er, and she immediately understood what I meant and asked Tingyu to find Qi Ning. I can finally rest assured, An Yuanxi, if he dares to do anything to my Ning'er, I will not let him go even if I turn into a ghost!
In the end, Tingyu arrived in time, and Qi Ning was in danger in the end.
When I died, I never expected to be woken up by a slap. I covered my face and looked at the translucent Qingqing in front of me in a daze, thinking that I was dreaming.
"Qing... Qingqing? β
"You old bastard! What did I tell you back then? That's how you take care of my Ning'er!? I can't smoke you-"
"Qingqing, it's really you!"
I hugged it, but I didn't expect to see Qingqing after I died. If I had known, I would have died!
"Bastard, let me go!" Qingqing pointed to Qi Ning, whose little face was burned red on the bed, and said, "Look at my daughter, if my son didn't come in time, what would I do?" β
"Oops, how do you burn like this? How long has it been? β
Qingqing wiped her tears and said, "It's been a few days, and you're going to be buried today." β
I listened to Qingqing say what happened after I died, and the two of us have been guarding Ning'er, watching her be silent, watching her change, and seeing her fall in love with running away from home...
I knew I was guilty, but I didn't expect Qingqing to know me too well, so I kept lingering in Zhangfu and didn't leave. Now there is Ning'er, and I only know what Ning'er is like in the Zhang family after all these years of becoming a ghost, I saw Qingqing's face getting darker and darker, and I followed her like a quail and didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Later, Qi Ning ran away from home and came back, and seemed to be in a good mood, and I also took advantage of this to go up and talk to Qingqing for a while.
Who knew that later there was a young man named Zhan Suiyu by her side, and the two of them were successfully engaged!
I was so angry that my hands twitched, remembering that I forgot to remind Hua'er and Ting'er to strictly investigate and investigate. But Qingqing is a mother-in-law who looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye.
Well, what more could I ask for?
"Qingqing, don't leave me alone."
I can't do anything without you.
Qingqing glanced at me, husband and wife have no overnight feud, after so many years, for the sake of the success of the children, Qi Ning is safe and sound, and she found Ruyi Langjun, she gave me a little bit of my face and said: "Look at your little interest!" β
I have given Qingqing all my life with all my heart and eyes, but I neglected my children, so I was fortunate to fight for Hua'er and Ting'er. The only guilt is for Ning'er, I don't ask her to forgive me, I just hope that the person named Zhan Suiyu can treat her well for the rest of her life, and I hope she will be safe and happy in this life.
I don't know what day it was, I seemed to hear Ning'er's voice, she said, "Dad, that day... I had a lot of fun. Thank you. β
Except for Qingqing, this is the second time I have cried because of a woman.
Then Qingqing and I walked towards a bright light, and we didn't let go of each other's hands until the end.
