I only heard Ah Ping's grandfather ask: "Aren't you going to take care of Ping'er's daily life?" Why did you want to go back with me? Widow Liu still prostrate on the ground and did not look up, and replied: "Back to the master, the old slave is already old, and his health is not as good as before. [Now Ah Ping...... Childe has someone around to take care of him, and it's time for the old slave to retire. ”

The cold gaze fell on me again, I didn't dodge, if this was the purpose of the widow Liu, then I had no reason to retreat. After a long pause, I heard the majestic voice rise again: "Liu Qing, since you have made up your mind to go, then go back." Nian has taken care of Ping'er for many years, and allowed you to ride in a carriage. ”

Then he said a very meaningful sentence to Ah Ping: "Ping'er, you should know the current situation, don't let me wait too long." ”

Watching them board the carriage and then gradually move away, his mind was complicated.

I thought that Liu's widow's actions were nothing more than self-defeating by retreating, but after Ah Ping's grandfather agreed, she immediately went to the back room, and when she came back, she was already carrying her baggage, and it was obvious that she had been ready last night. I couldn't help but re-examine her intentions, as if she really wanted to get out of here.

Regardless of whether she wanted to have other plans after going back, or whether she was disheartened by Ah Ping's attitude in several incidents, I was more worried about the unclear words left by Ah Ping's grandfather at the end.

When I got back to the house, I asked directly, and Ah Ping's reaction was to grab my hand and rub it gently in his palm, which not only failed to soothe me, but made my heart hang. I said, "Ah Ping, you tell me the truth, what did you promise your grandfather?" After a pause, his tone intensified: "If you think you can hide it from you, then it's best to pray that you don't let me know the truth." ”

Obviously, the pupils in those dark eyes contracted, and he put his head on my shoulder to prevent me from looking into his eyes, and said in a somewhat aggrieved and pleading tone: "Lan, will I talk to you later?" ”

I took a deep breath, "Okay, evening. ”

Give him time to sort out his emotions, his grandfather must have put pressure on him before, and I can't bear to force him again. No matter what the situation is, even if things get worse and his grandfather forces him to give me up, he can't just sit back and die, right, there is always a way to go.

In fact, I also need to sort out my mood and cheer myself up for psychological adjustment.

So on this day, although there were only the two of us in the house, the atmosphere was not happy at all, but very depressing. And Ah Ping also looked preoccupied, listless eating, and finally the sun set and it was dark, and I was waiting for the answer.

In the room, an oil lamp, two people.

When I listened quietly to what Ah Ping said, the thought in my heart was - it's okay.

There is no worst or worst situation imaginable, and his grandfather did not let him leave me with a letter of resignation, of course, Ah Ping may have hidden some inside information in the middle, after yesterday's thrilling conversation, his grandfather will definitely have something to say about me, but it doesn't matter. According to Ah Ping, his grandfather meant that their family itself was from the grassy family, and in his father's generation, although he was the eldest son, he did not inherit his father's wish and followed the literature, so his grandfather gave Ah Ping two choices: either to join the army, or to go to Beijing to take the exam.

He must have achieved something in one of these two, otherwise, otherwise there is no need to think about it later.

Ah Ping came to take my hand and asked worriedly, "Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking?" I looked into the depths of his eyes and asked, "What do you think?" Which of the two do you prefer, joining the army or going to the exam? ”

In fact, to put it bluntly, there are two choices from martial arts and from literature, and sure enough, as I expected, Ah Ping's grandfather was a person who advocated martial arts, and his father was the opposite, a literati. Whatever the choice, his grandfather was deliberately trying to test Ah Ping.

Seeing that he hesitated, I spoke again: "It's better to listen to me." ”

When he heard this, he immediately looked at me, "Say it quickly." ”

"I suggest you go to Beijing to catch the exam, you must have read the books in the room." If I had to have a choice, I would rather be a literati than a general.

Because, maybe from the martial arts can get achievements faster than from the text, but the famous saying that a general will succeed and ten thousand bones dry is deeply in my mind, everything becomes unknown when entering the army and entering the battlefield, I don't want to wait at home all day long, at least from the text is more talent than sword, even if you really get involved in officialdom and need to be intrigued, it is better than the ruthlessness of war.

In the era of cold weapons, there are too many unknowns in war. Even if his grandfather may have been a generational celebrity, there is no guarantee that he will be safe in that scene.

Ah Ping's eyes were very dark and deep, and he stared at me and did not speak, making me think that my suggestion was not what he thought, maybe although he liked to read, he actually admired his grandfather more. If so, how can I suppress him because of my selfish thoughts, I thought about it and said astringently: "Of course, that's just my suggestion, if you like to be like your grandfather, then you can try it in the army, maybe you can be a little general in a year and a half." ”

As I was talking, Ah Ping suddenly pulled me into his arms, and my nose hit his chest, and it hurt so much that my tears were about to come out, and his arms were so tight that I felt pain. What's going on?

"Lan, I can't bear you." He whispered in my ear in such discomfort that he was so uncomfortable.

As soon as I heard him say this, I immediately felt a sour nose, yes, no matter what he chosen, he had to leave home alone, and he didn't know when he would return, and he was destined to be separated from him. He said he couldn't bear me, so why should I give up on him?

I feel sad when I think about it, I originally thought that if I married a fool, my life may not be good, but at least it will be dull. Where to think not only is it not bland, from the day I entered the door, I have lived like walking in the clouds, all kinds of turmoil are non-stop, if this is the case, who knows that my Ah Ping is not stupid, but also too shrewd, with a big secret not to let me know, and when I break it, I can also coax me back. But what can be done, who made me throw my heart to him?

I, a person who has lived two lives, have never been able to screw a boy who has just turned eighteen, and I am depressed when I think about it.

Before he could come back to his senses after some mental activities, he suddenly heard Ah Ping ask: "How do you know that my grandfather is from martial arts?" I paused, and angrily knocked him on the head, "Can't you let me go and talk first?" "What does it mean to be hugged?

He let go of his embrace, but he didn't retract his hand, and pulled me backwards and two people to lie down on the bed, "Let's put it this way." ”

was speechless, and didn't bother with the posture anymore, his eyes fell on the top of the bed and responded: "Your grandfather is tall and mighty, just standing there is a kind of deterrent power of a martial artist, and you don't think of him like a writer with such a bearing." ”

After a moment of silence, he heard a gentle voice beside him, "My grandfather...... He was a very powerful man, and I had never seen him fight on a horse since I was born, but I had heard a lot of things from my father. I have both reverence and fear for him, Lan, can you understand that feeling? "It's rare that he is willing to talk to me about his grandfather, and his words confirm that his grandfather really fought on the battlefield. But where do I understand the feeling he said?

Fortunately, Ah Ping asked this question, and I didn't need to really respond.

I thought that the choice to join the army had been decided by the night talk, but the next day, Ah Ping began to move the books on the ground one by one. In this winter, I saw that he was sweating profusely, and I couldn't help asking, "What are you doing with these books?" ”

I don't plan to go to martial arts, so I will move all the books to the stove room and burn them.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and lifted his sleeve again, "Let me finish moving." He went down again, and I sighed helplessly as I looked at the room full of books. How? Let's go to the stove room to cook first.

When I finished cooking and went back to the room, the books were piled up at the door of the room, and I couldn't even step in. Speechless, he called: "Ah Ping." ”

As a result, he was fascinated and didn't hear me call, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and call again, and finally he raised his head, but he asked in confusion: "What's wrong?" I pointed to the room full of books, "You piled them all over the room and couldn't sleep at night?" ”

He seemed to have noticed the mess in the room at this time, and the corners of his mouth raised and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'll clean it up in a while." ”

Where to pack? If it was just a stack of books, it would be nothing to pile up in the corner of the room, but he almost moved all the books on the wall of books on the ground, and if he couldn't get in, how could he clean it up?

I didn't care about it for now, I let him come out to eat. Seeing him stomping on his feet through the cracks, I suddenly felt very funny, and I couldn't help but laugh. I finally crossed a thousand obstacles and came out, and he laughed at me and followed the silly fun.

During the meal, I asked him why he had to bring all the books on the ground, and he blinked and blinked, and asked me, "Didn't you ask me to go to Beijing to take the exam?" Although my father has read all those books, many of them have been read for a long time and almost forgotten, and since they want to take the exam, they must take them out to review their history. It is better to carry all the books up and down to save the whole time of running underground. ”

He was there talking, but he didn't realize that I was stunned. Obviously, the final decision last night was from Wu, and I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because of this, but he told me that he listened to my opinion and followed the text again.
