、、、、、、、、、、 However, even such efforts to cover it up could not hide the movement outside. Aunt Yang's voice is getting louder and louder, and even has a tendency to become more and more earth-shattering. Everyone couldn't sit still, worried that He Zhizhong didn't control it well and got by. The first to go out was Erlang, and then Lang and Bai also found an excuse to go out. Only Mrs. Cen and a few others were left to accompany Jiang Changyang to whitewash Ping.

Zhen is a good-looking and lively person, and he has been waiting to see the excitement of this day for a long time, and when he saw this, he was considered to be open, but he was instructed by Mrs. Cen to do something: "Your father has a lotus leaf cup for rhino horn carving to give to Chengfeng, and put it in my white rattan box." You went out and gave it to him. "Zhen's temper, I'm afraid that when I go out, I'm afraid that I want to make a ghost fire, and I have to make something happen if I have nothing to do, how dare I let her out?

Zhen had already pursed his lips, and as soon as he heard that he could rummage through Mrs. Cen's box, he immediately became happy again and immediately took the key. She has a lot of eyes, so she has to go in and find it together. Peony smiled apologetically at Jiang Changyang and got up to accompany Zhen inside.

Zhen was very familiar with Mrs. Cen's room, and found a two-foot square white rattan box under Mrs. Cen's bed, skillfully opened the box, and first took out the pair of rhino horn lotus leaf cups, and did not stop, but turned over the gold, silver and jade and other things in it with bright eyes, grabbed an ancient bottle with a bulging belly and looked at it again and again, and whispered with a smile and Peony: "Mother, these things are beautiful, right?" She also had a chest of gold brocade of various colors. There is also a small box, a lot of beads and other things, all of which are good. This bottle, I heard that it is an antiquity, is worth a lot of money. ”

Zhen really doesn't regard herself as an outsider, this person, at first, she thought she was too annoying and strong, but now it seems that she is very good at hiding her thoughts, and she is a person who protects her shortcomings in front of outsiders. Peony smiled and nodded: "There are a lot of good things for my mother." ”

Zhen's face suddenly collapsed, and he sighed: "There are a lot of good things, but they are my mother's body, and I can just look at them." Then he wilted and hid his things in the box, locked them listlessly, and walked around the house again, before he reluctantly went out with Peony.

When he went outside, He Zhizhong had already led Erlang and the others back, and he didn't see Aunt Yang and Liulang. He Zhizhong took the box in Peony's hand, opened it and put it in front of Jiang Changyang, and said with a smile: "This rhino horn was obtained in the Bolu Kingdom in the early years, and it was carefully carved by someone and placed in it for some years. You get married, and I don't have anything suitable for you to give you a greeting gift, that's it. ”

Jiang Changyang hurriedly got up and saluted and thanked him, respectfully accepted it with both hands, and talked to He Zhizhong about his trip to sea as if nothing happened. He Zhizhong is good-looking, unwilling to be embarrassed in front of his new son-in-law, and tries his best to remain calm and smiling.

Peony peeked at He Zhizhong from the side, and saw that although he was smiling, his eyebrows and eyes were unstoppable tired, and Mrs. Cen's face was also very ugly, obviously she was holding on. I couldn't help but look at Xue Shi who was silent and speechless, just serving tea and soup with worry.

Seeing this, Xue beckoned her to go out, the two stood still in the corner, and Xue said: "Dad forced your sixth brother to write a book, but your sixth brother refused, scolded, scolded Sun's unkindness, honesty and shamelessness, and he dragged her to death...... He also said that we are not a good person, seeing that he has become like this, he doesn't care about it, he doesn't say anything, and his leg injury hasn't healed yet, so he tosses him in a different way, and tries to get Sun and him reconcile, just to kill him so that he can divide his share of property. He made a lot of trouble, and what the Sun family said was also ugly, and his father was so angry that he beat him, saying that he had to write even if he didn't write, and he had to write if he didn't write. ”

Peony was speechless for a moment. In fact, He Zhizhong has always been good to Lang and Liulang, and has never treated them badly, how can He Zhizhong feel good when he hears such heart-piercing words? Thinking that the scream made by Liulang was beaten by He Zhizhong, he asked Xue: "It sounds so bad, I don't know where it was hit?" What about the Sun family? ”

"The Sun family got the book and left." Xue sighed: "Actually, my father didn't beat your sixth brother much at first, but he just slapped him twice." It's just that he has been delicate since he was a child, he can't stand it, and he is still stubborn, thinking that his father is reluctant to do anything to him. Which Cheng thought that his father had already made up his mind, saying where did he come from? It turned out that when he went out, he said that if he dared to go, he would break his leg and drive him out again. caused such a big disaster to the family, and he still has the face to live. So he had his wounded leg pressed on a stool, saying that keeping it was only a curse to his family, and that it would be better to keep it forever.

He still refused to give in, saying that the disaster was not entirely caused by him, and his father was biased. Dad was really going to do it, he was frightened, and when Daddy's foot stepped on his leg, he screamed. The reason why there was no sound all of a sudden, but I was scared alive and fainted. Aunt Yang was crying, but she thought that he was beaten to death by her father, so she was looking for death there, and several people couldn't hold it back. Dad asked someone to pour cold water on your sixth brother's head and face, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to write a departure book. The Sun family got the book, and his father called for money and things, sent the Sun family out, and asked Aunt Yang to accompany him back to the room. In my opinion, this matter is not over, but I am afraid that there will be grinding when you are gone. You didn't see it, Dad was trembling with anger at that time. ”

Peony heard Xue Shi say Liulang's words, the disaster was not entirely caused by him, that meant that it was actually caused by her. Although flies don't bite seamless eggs, if Liulang didn't have any problems in the industry, he wouldn't have been designed by Liu Chang, but in the final analysis, it was indeed because of her, and he couldn't help but be silent.

After dinner, the family was sitting and laughing, so she went to look for He Zhizhong: "Dad, I have something to say to you." ”

He Zhizhong smiled: "Let's talk about it." ”

Peony pulled his sleeve: "I want to tell you in private." ”

He Zhizhong saw that her expression was different, so he got up with a smile and said to Jiang Changyang: "Look, I just said that she has been pampered since she was a child, and now it is reflected, right?" Jiang Changyang just laughed.

The father and daughter entered the study, and He Zhizhong smiled: "Danniang has something to whisper to me?" ”

Peony bit her lip and hesitated for a long time, Fang looked at He Zhizhong cautiously and said: "Daddy, I want to confess one thing to you, the sixth brother was put in prison for gambling money and locked up for a long time, it was my hands and feet. It was a trap set by Liu Chang, and I couldn't persuade him at that time, so I asked Gui to spend money to hire someone from the internal guard, and got him in when Liu Chang was about to do it. I just want him to have a long memory and remember the lessons. ”

The smile on He Zhizhong's face suddenly retracted, and he didn't speak for a long time. Peony was a little scared, pulled his sleeve tightly, and didn't speak, just looked at him with wide eyes. Her position and Ho Zhizhong's position is different. Rokuro is just her half-brother, and he has never been close, and even if she returns home, he has never had any contact with her, let alone how deep his feelings are. When he poses a big risk to the whole family, and normal persuasion fails, she will take what she thinks is effective to protect the rest of the family. But He Zhizhong is different, Liulang is his own flesh and blood, and he is his beloved son. Depending on the situation, the measures taken are not the same.

Would he think she was poisonous? She cherished He Zhizhong and Mrs. Cen's affection for her very much, and the reason why she wanted to tell He Zhizhong in person was because she thought that one day He Zhizhong would definitely know, rather than let him know from others, it was better for her to tell him personally. Peony pulled He Zhizhong's sleeve worriedly: "Do you think I've gone too far?" ”

He Zhizhong looked at Peony with a complicated expression, Danniang, who was once so weak and kind that he would rather suffer by himself than call a grievance, has now been able to solve things toughly. Before she knew it, she was changing more and more, and she became a little stranger. He sighed: "Danniang, you are doing this very secretly, presumably no one else in this family knows?" ”

Peony knew that Mrs. Cen and Erlang must not be involved, so he said: "Later, when someone went in, the family was busy trying to pick him up. I told my mother and second brother, and I said that Liu Chang was pressing, so it was better to let the sixth brother stay in prison for a while and avoid it. And they listened to me. ”

He Zhizhong sighed: "They definitely won't tell me this, since they are worried that I think you have done too much, why do you want to tell me?" ”

Peony said in a low voice: "I have no selfish intentions in doing this, I'm not afraid that you will know." The reason why I specifically told you is because I don't want you to be sad because of the sixth brother's matter, and then sad because of my deliberate concealment. Although Liu Chang single-handedly provoked the disaster later, the sixth brother was not wrong, it was not entirely his fault...... "She didn't know what she wanted to express, and the more she talked, the more she shook her head: "I've tried my best, anyway, I don't want my family to be hurt, I don't want my mother to be sad, I don't want you to be sad." ”

He Zhizhong looked at Peony quietly, and seeing that she began to shake her head, a little incoherent, Fang said in a low voice: "Say it again." I get it. Liu Chang's matter has passed, so don't mention it again. You don't need to feel guilty about your sixth brother's affairs, he is to blame, and you handled the gambling matter well. If I had been here, these things wouldn't have happened, and ......" He was silent for a while, and Fang said with some difficulty, "It's me who didn't teach him well." ”

The father and daughter were relatively speechless for a while.

The light became dimmer and dimmer, and the first dusk drum sounded, He Zhizhong seemed to be suddenly awakened, raised his head to look at Peony and smiled: "The time has come, go home." Don't keep people waiting. I'm a little tired, so I won't send you to the door, you and Chengfeng will talk. ”

Peony saluted him sadly and said goodbye, and when she walked to the door, she heard He Zhizhong shouting behind her back: "Danniang ......"

She turned around, but saw that He Zhizhong's sideburns were pale and tired in the twilight. She said distressedly: "Daddy? ”

He Zhizhong waved at her: "Dad doesn't blame you." Have a good day. Seeing that Peony's expression suddenly relaxed, He Zhizhong thought gloomily, this child actually still has some resentment in his heart that he brought Yang's mother home back then, right? Including Mrs. Cen, they did not have any complaints in their hearts. But even though Rokuro has made so many mistakes, it is still his son, and he can't watch Rokuro be abolished like this.
