Hu Fei just laughed and didn't say a word. Chunying saw this. He didn't ask him, but turned to his father and asked, "Father, what do you mean by that?" ”

Lu Yougui smiled: "Just now your uncle of the Wang family told me, today you and Shi'er are being tortured inside, when the news came out, their family was in a hurry, fortunately, Brother Hu went to the door to stabilize the scene, and came up with an idea, and personally followed their family into the house, broke into the Hou Ye's study to plead, and then invited the Hou Ye into the second door and saved the lives of the two of you." You say, isn't it thanks to him? ”

Chun Ying's eyes widened when she heard this, and she quickly turned to Hu Fei: "How is this possible?!" Brother Xiaofei, you just went into the house like this?! Also, you actually broke into the outer study?! At that time, there were outsiders, and the Hou Ye didn't do anything to you, right?! ”

Hu Fei smiled: "What can he do?" I'm not a descendant of his family, at most, I will be scolded a few times, and I will be driven out, and I will not suffer. The most important thing is that you are safe. ”

Chunying's nose was sour: "It turned out that you saved our ......" but after thinking about it, she felt that it was wrong. "How did you convince Master Hou? He has always cared about these housekeeping, let alone just beating girls...... Bagatelle?! If you are worried that the old lady will be angry when she finds out, at most she can send someone to say it, and he will stop it in person! Don't mention the Wang family to me, if the Wang family really has such great ability, they will not be suppressed by their wife to the point before, it must be something you did! ”

Hu Fei's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, you know that I got the recommendation of the eldest young master in the Zun Mansion, and I have been in the Nanyang fleet for a few years, and now I have returned to Beijing, although I don't do this anymore, I also know a few people." When I was eating and chatting with others, I overheard about an important matter of Hou Ye, if he didn't know, maybe something bad would happen in the future. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now I happened to use it, and I made up some words with more oil and vinegar, and then said that Mrs. Hou was going to kill people with great fanfare, which frightened him a lot, and the guests couldn't take care of it, so they immediately rushed back to the backyard. Actually, I didn't know the bottom of my mind at the time, but I thought that I would try to get you out no matter what. Fortunately, Hou Ye Li believed it, otherwise, I would not have been able to do it. ”

"That's adventurous!" Chunying remembered that Hu Fei had mentioned that he was now fighting for a chance in Beijing. It seems that he has something to do with the emperor, maybe he wants to help the emperor run the Nanyang fleet, and the Hou Ye also has a fleet, so it shouldn't have anything to do with this, right? She asked anxiously, "The important thing you said about Master Hou...... Can you casually reveal it? Won't you get yourself in trouble, right? I'm out of luck, don't let me get involved......"

Hu Fei smiled: "Where did it get to that point?" The gossip I heard during the meal and drink was said, even if people knew that I said it, what could I do? Now that I have a small family business, if I can't get that errand, I'll go back to the south and work as a farmer, and I won't starve to death. What are you afraid of? ”

Chunying's heart was even more uneasy. Although Hu Fei told her not to worry, the tone leaked out of those words was clearly saying that he had to take risks by leaking the news, and maybe he would lose his errand and could only end up returning to the countryside to farm, how could she settle down?

Chunying was about to ask more details, but Lu Yougui suddenly opened his mouth: "Chunying, hasn't Xiaohu come back yet?" Did your second uncle and sister get a letter? Chunying hurriedly said: "The second uncle is out of the door, and he won't be able to come over until later." My sister and brother-in-law took Kang Ge'er out of the city, and I won't be able to come back until tomorrow. I'm going to find Xiaohu. After taking two steps, he hesitated a little: "Dad, Xiaohu still don't go with us, right?" He's grown so big, he hasn't suffered yet. He is under the age of eight, and according to the rules, he is not registered, so let's send him to live with his sister and brother-in-law? Seeing that winter is about to begin, he can live warmer at his sister's house...... The second aunt has a body, and the second uncle is not as convenient as her sister's house. ”

Lu Yougui was noncommittal: "You go and go find him and come back." Chunying glanced at Hu Fei, nodded slightly, and then went out.

Lu Yougui looked back at Hu Fei and tilted his head quietly: "Come into the house and talk." Hu Fei paused and responded with a smile.

The two entered the house, and Lu Yougui entered the room and said a few words to his wife before coming out, poured Hu Fei a cup of tea, and thanked him again for saving his daughter.

Hu Fei said: "Uncle Lu is serious, your family's kindness to me, I will never forget it in my life, today Chunying is worried about her life, but if I can do it, I will never stand idly!" ”

Lu Yougui raised his eyebrows: "Kindness? If it were a normal day, I would have listened to this, but today I can't help but want to ask. Brother Hu, I heard my brother mention it back then, if Chunying hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have saved you, but he recommended you to the eldest young master. And let you go to the south again. If you want to talk about kindness, my brother and my daughter can be counted, but what am I? I didn't help you, but I made a lot of money by inheriting the affection of the foreign merchants you made back then. Now you come to my house almost every two or three days, my boy is close to you, and even my father is about to stand aside! If you say that you want to repay your kindness, why don't you go to my brother's house every day? Could it be that there is something hidden? ”

Hu Fei was dumbfounded, he was hesitating, should he make things clear? But seeing the serious look on Lu Yougui's face, he couldn't make up his mind again: "Uncle Lu, don't get me wrong, I'm ...... I also often go to visit Second Uncle Lu, but he is newly married Yan'er...... I'm not good at bothering...... Aunt Lu is very good to me, Xiaohu is well-behaved and clever, and Uncle Lu, you are also a very knowledgeable elder, I often come to listen to you and learn a lot of things. Although I am grateful in my heart, I actually feel very close to your family and get along well, so I come often, don't worry about it. ”

Lu Yougui smiled: "Don't coax me with these words." You haven't heard good things about me? Tell me what you're thinking! If you still keep it hidden, don't regret it in the future! ”

Hu Fei immediately changed his words decisively: "I want to marry Chunying as my wife." ”

Lu Yougui sighed, and his heart was sure enough. frowned and said, "Chun Ying knows your thoughts?" ”

She ...... She didn't know that it was ...... My own thoughts ......" Hu Fei lowered his head, a little cramped.

Lu Yougui stared at him for a while before he said slowly: "This is the ...... Not! Hu Fei raised his head suddenly, he reached out and pressed Hu Fei's shoulder, and said with a straight face: "If Chunying successfully gets out of the country this time, I still have some willingness." But now, don't be delusional anymore! The children of the Hou Mansion have never been bought and sold easily, and the master has never spoken. Chunying can't marry you. You're still dead, the right to be the two of you! ”

Hu Fei hurriedly said: "There is still room for change in this matter!" Even if your family has been degraded now, who will remember after a year and a half? When the time comes, I will just think of getting Chunying out, but I will lose a few taels of silver......"

"If you really have this idea, I'd rather reject you out of it!" Lu Yougui interrupted him, "Marriage has always been about the right family. Brother Hu, you have silver, and you are the young master of the imperial merchant, our Chun'er is not worthy of you. If you really want to redeem her, what can she do for you? I've never heard of a hired wife who bought it with money, and it's a concubine! I'm not afraid of you being annoyed, don't say it's you, even if it's the young master of our Hou Mansion, I'm reluctant to ask my own daughter to be small! I'd rather marry a poor family than be a proper husband and wife! ”

A trace of panic flashed in Hu Fei's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and reluctantly smiled: "Uncle Lu, are you joking?" Naturally, I want to marry Chunying as the main house, and I will not accept it in the future. I myself am a concubine, and I know that between husband and wife, if a third or fourth person is inserted, the family will inevitably be restless. If I want to marry Chunying, I will naturally not lose her. Besides, although I have been blessed, I have long since been kicked out of the house, and my family only has a small property, and I am still far from the word rich. If you are willing to marry Chunying to a poor family, why would you refuse me to be thousands of miles away? ”

Lu Yougui sighed: "What's the use of you saying this? Don't you know who we are? Even if I answer you, if the host doesn't nod, it's all for nothing! Chun'er has already offended her wife, and if she wants to get out of the house, she is afraid that it will be difficult, unless she can ask the old lady to call the shots. But the old lady is sick, and there is no reason to come forward for a little girl. We don't know when we'll be back in the city, maybe we'll be about the same age. It's up to the head of the village to call the shots, and Chun'er will be matched. As a father, I can't stop it, so what can I say at this moment? ”

Hu Fei secretly clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice, "Is there no other way?!" ”

"Unless our family can leave the country and become good citizens." Lu Yougui glanced at him secretly, "I'm not begging you for anything, if you think that I plan to make a deal with this matter, ask you to contribute, and marry my daughter to you after the matter is completed, then you are wrong!" I don't sell my daughter! Besides, no matter how depressed I am, I haven't reached the point of exhaustion! If you're willing to contribute, that's the best, and if you're not, I don't blame you. Chunying saved you once, you saved Chunying once, and the lunch was flattened. If you take the matter of leaving the country, which causes Chunying to be confused, I won't follow it! ”

When Chunying took her younger brother home, she saw her father and Hu Fei sitting at the table, staring at each other, and couldn't help but be a little strange: "What's wrong with you?" Lu Yougui and Hu Fei turned their heads to look at each other, and said in unison: "It's okay!" Then they glared at each other again. Chunying couldn't help but laugh and pushed Xiaohu: "This kid heard about the family outside, and thought that the kid was tricking him, but he ended up fighting with someone, and he was making trouble!" ”

Xiaohu pouted, strained his face and did not speak. Lu Yougui saw that there was a bruise on his face, and he was distressed, and stretched out his hand to call him over, but saw Hu Fei smile slightly, stretched out his hand to beckon, and Xiaohu pounced: "Brother Xiaofei!" They bullied me—" Hu Fei comforted him softly, glanced at Lu Yougui, and saw that the other party's face darkened, and his tone became more cordial.

Chunying was confused, and she didn't know what was wrong with them, and she was trying to help mediate, but she was called by her mother to help with cooking.

Hu Fei didn't eat dinner and said goodbye, he was going to find a car to transport the things of the Lu family. The Lu family ate silently, and the thought that this might be the last meal they had eaten in the ancestral house was a little gloomy.

Soon after the meal, Second Uncle Lu came over with his wife. He scolded the villains who fell into the well and were slandered behind the stones, and repeatedly promised that he would take good care of Xiaohu, so he dragged his brother to the Wang family, first, to discuss tomorrow's affairs, and secondly, to inquire who the escort was and which Zhuangzi was the destination, so as to deal with it in advance.

Mother Lu pulled Lime into the house to whisper and teach the fetal recipe, Xiaohu thought that he was going to separate from his friends, so he ran out to play with someone for another night. Chunying was sitting at the bottom of the steps, in a daze, when Hu Fei came back.

He found a small carriage, Chunying hurriedly informed his mother, and the three of them worked together to transport some valuable things and the belongings of his mother's dowry to the carriage, and one of the descendants quietly pulled the carriage away. Seeing this, Lu's mother couldn't help crying, and Lime hurriedly helped her back to the house to comfort her.

Chunying glanced back at Hu Fei, but she didn't know what to say, so she squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "I'm leaving tomorrow...... You have to take care of ......."

"What do you say?!" Hu Fei smiled reluctantly, "Naturally, I'm going to see you." I'll see you off tomorrow. ”

Chunying rubbed the corners of her clothes, bowed her head and said, "I'm really useless...... If only I had gone out of the house earlier...... Give the money to buy the steward earlier...... ...... a little earlier Now I have money in my hands, but I can't control my life......"

"Don't be afraid." Hu Fei hesitated slightly, then shook her hand, "I'll help you." Whatever comes your way, I'll be on your side. ”

Chunying's heart jumped suddenly, her eyes met Hu Fei's eyes, and after a while, she felt her nose sour: "Really? But...... You also have your own business to work with, right? ”

Hu Fei smiled and held his hand tighter: "Your business is more important." "Although it's a pity that the emperor has not yet finished arranging the Hu family, but compared with Chunying, he suddenly feels that these things have become unimportant.

Chunying was stunned, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, and the sound of Second Uncle Lu calling the door, she hurriedly withdrew her hand and ran over to open the door, but there was a faint feeling in her heart.......
