Chapter Seventy-Five: Two Pairs



Liu Dongning didn't have any special opinions about his cousin Liu Dongxing. is not like his parents who have scruples about him, they only feel that he is far inferior to himself in terms of reading and behavior, and he has no parents, but he only grew up with the same fine clothes and food as himself by relying on his father's kindness. He thinks that this cousin has a poor background and a bleak future, so he always sympathizes with him, but he never takes the other party seriously.

However, tonight's Liu Dongxing was a blockbuster. No one expected him to have such good martial arts, and no one would have thought that he would have such great courage to dare to run with the palace guards to fight the thieves with real swords and guns! This is not a competition on the school field, nor is it a boy and boy who get together to go hunting and playing in the mountains! Several family members guarding the back door of Xuanle Hall were hacked to death by thieves, and I heard that one was seriously injured, whether it was in the Gu family or the Liu family, when did this happen? !

Those thieves are real outlaws! But Liu Dongning recalled the appearance of his cousin when he rushed over to kill the enemy, and he couldn't help but shiver. So to put it mildly, it's as if he's just hanging out with his friends! Remembering what he had seen from afar, his front was stained with blood, but his face was full of indifference, Liu Dongning was silent: how could he think that this cousin was a talentless, harmless and stupid person?!

However. Wen Hui suddenly mentioned this matter in front of him, and he immediately raised his vigilance. The cousin of the prince, Zhu Jingcheng, has a higher background than him, he can't compare, and he has nothing to say, but he thinks that he is not inferior to the other party in terms of literary talent or bearing, if Zhu Jingcheng is not the prince of the prince, but the son of the Liu family, where can he compare to him? But now, his cousin's performance is as if he is slapping him in the face, could it be that among the children of the Heng'an Liu family, he is no longer the most outstanding one?!

In front of his sweetheart, how could he lose his momentum? Immediately said categorically: "The ruler is short, and the inch is long." The eldest brother has always been mediocre in his homework, but he loves to practice martial arts more. The current situation requires him to support him from outside, and I have nothing to be embarrassed about, my strength is not in martial arts. After a pause, his gaze at Wen Hui softened: "The second uncle is in the front, the seventh cousin is still young, and the grandmother, mother, second uncle and sisters in the back house are all weak women, and when they encounter this kind of thing, they must be afraid." I'm here with you, and you can rest easy. ”

The corners of Wen Hui's mouth originally had a sarcastic smile, but when she heard his words, she was stunned, and said a little unnaturally: "You also underestimate us too much." There are so many people here, what do we have to be afraid of? Besides, if you are worried about your grandmother and aunt and aunt, why don't you go to the house? But they only care about talking to me here......"

Liu Dongning smiled softly: "My grandmother has been in the world for a long time and is very calm, and my mother is with her, where can I be used?" The other sisters have seven cousins with them, and I'm only worried about you. It's been a few days, and I'm ...... I miss my sixth cousin......" he lowered his head a little embarrassed.

No matter how bold Rao is Wen Hui is, she can't help blushing at the moment, but the big girl who was standing next to her felt that Liu Dongning was too straightforward, and couldn't help but speak: "Young Master Cousin, how can you say such a thing to our young lady?!" If Mrs. Gu knew...... Wen Hui glanced at her, blocked back her words, and said disapprerovingly: "You know the etiquette and understand the rules!" I haven't spoken yet, what are you talking about?! ”

Taxue knew her temperament, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to persuade her in a low voice: "Miss, the old lady and the aunt are both in the house, if they see it, won't you still be the one who suffers?" ”

Wen Hui found it boring. Flicked his sleeves and walked into the house, Liu Dongning hurriedly followed, stepping on the snow and stomping his feet secretly, but he couldn't do anything, he could only pray in his heart countless times, Miss must not make any trouble again, one more time, she really can't keep this errand!

Wen Hui entered the house, caught a glimpse of her grandmother leaning on the couch to rest, her aunt was also sitting on the circle chair on the side and closed her eyes to recuperate, a few girls were playing fans on the side, thinking that there was no need to go over to say goodbye, so she turned straight to the warm pavilion, the fifth miss Wenxian and the tenth miss Wenjuan were sitting on the edge of the round table and whispering, and the younger brother Wen'an was lying on the side listlessly.

Wen Xian raised her head, with a little worry between her eyebrows, and asked, "What's going on outside?" I heard that the uncle and grandmother and the ninth sister of the sixth room have arrived? ”

Wen Hui pouted: "It's here, even the fifth uncle's house has arrived, haven't you seen their embarrassed look!" The fifth aunt didn't even comb her hair! The seventh sister also wore the wrong shoe on her foot. I really don't know where to find such a group of Hanako?! Then he covered his mouth and smiled: "But what's even funnier is the nine girls, she is actually wearing a cloth dress, she doesn't even wear a flower on her head, and she doesn't wipe the powder, so she came out plainly, if it wasn't for the people of our family who called her first, I wouldn't have recognized it!" Our third-class girls are all better dressed than her! See her again this year. She is dressed quite well, and you also say that her family is richer than before, I just think it is true, but I didn't expect to expose her disguise tonight! Dare to love her just outside the scenery, and at home she is still that poor and sour look! ”

Wen Xian Wenjuan has gotten along with Wen Yi a lot in the past few years, and her friendship is quite passable, but she is a little uncomfortable when she hears the words. Wen Juan sneered: "The sixth uncle and grandmother have always taught their granddaughters to be chaste and simple, so what's the point?" Who doesn't have two old clothes? We can't compare to some high-profile young ladies, the newly made clothes, the day before was so beloved, today it is not pleasing to the eye, cut it and throw it away! ”

Wen Hui's face immediately stiffened, Wen Xian quietly pulled her sister, got up and persuaded: "You can't write two Gu characters in one stroke, why do you bother to say that about her?" Isn't it our own sister? He greeted Liu Dongning again: "Sixth sister is in a bad mood these days, it's just a joke, don't be surprised by Cousin Liu." ”

Liu Dongning hurriedly smiled: "No, no, what...... Will it? He glanced at Wen Hui secretly and didn't say anything.

Wen Xian originally wanted to cover up for Wen Hui, but Wen Hui didn't appreciate it, snorted coldly, and reached out to push her younger brother: "Xiao Qi." What's wrong with you? Not good on the body? ”

Wen An said sullenly: "Ignore me!" I'm annoyed! Wen Hui was puzzled, and Wen Xian smiled and said, "Just now he saw Brother Liu go out to kill the thief, so he also wanted to follow, and asked his grandmother and mother to scold, and his heart was not happy." It's just a child's temper. ”

Wen An looked up unconvinced and said, "Who is the child?!" I'm almost an adult! Brother Dongxing is usually not as good as me in riding and archery! He can go, why can't I?! My grandmother and second aunt underestimated me, and even my aunt coaxed me like a child! ”

Wen Hui was a little impatient: "Okay, okay!" Are you playing? If you really run out to fight with someone, and accidentally scratch your face, you won't cry to death?! Quickly dispel this idea and wait for news here! ”

Liu Dongning also helped persuade: "Seventh cousin." You're different from my brother, even if it's for your family, you can't take danger lightly?! If there is really a good one, how can the grandmother, the eldest aunt and the second aunt afford it? ”

Wen An sneered disdainfully: "You treat me as you?!" Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't preach in front of me! ”

Liu Dongning was stunned and reluctantly smiled: "It's not that I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, it's really that my grandmothers, mothers, aunts and sisters in and out of the house are all weak women, and I only rely on a few girls and servants to protect them, how can I feel at ease?" Therefore I will stay here......" He glanced at Wen Hui, "If the thieves break in, I will fight for my life to protect you...... You're all there. ”

Wen Hui's eyes stared at him, and a blush slowly rose on her cheeks. She began to feel that in fact, Liu Dongning was really good, at least, he was sincere to her......

In the courtyard, Wen Yi stood in front of the window, looking at the new group of clansmen outside, feeling a little uneasy.

This is the second room of the partial branch of the eighth uncle's family, because the eighth uncle entered the city for the Duanyang Festival, and the eighth aunt came over with a few cousins. His mother-in-law loved to chew his tongue, and whispered under the porch, saying that the Captain Luo of the Prince's Mansion who escorted them was summoned back by the prince of the world, and I heard that because he left his post without permission, he was punished by the prince to kneel! A few mothers-in-law scolded there, the prince of this life is also ignorant, everyone knows that he has a noble status and cannot make mistakes, but he has been a guest of honor in Gu Zhuang for so many days, how can the whole Gu family treat him poorly? There are dozens of guards around him, so what's wrong with taking a few out to help fight thieves? He didn't speak, Captain Luo knew that he was grateful for the kindness of the Gu family and vigorously helped, and he had to be punished! Changfang was really miscalculated this time, treating such a mean person as a VIP, and he didn't even dare to say a word of seriousness.

When Wen Yi heard this, her heart couldn't help but sink.

Houzhuang lives in the Gu family. The descendants are partial branches, adding up to more than 20 people! In addition to the nine main houses, there are many houses scattered around, the farthest ones are the nine rooms, if they are escorted one by one, they will never be escorted in a moment and a half. Now that Captain Luo has been recalled, isn't Liu Dongxing the only one left?! If he is asked to go every time, not to mention fatigue, the danger will also increase greatly. In case of thieves, how can he fight against so many thieves alone?!

She bit her lower lip and was worried about Liu Dongxing, but suddenly heard her grandmother calling and hurriedly turned around and walked over.

Old Madam Lu also heard the discussion outside, she looked at her granddaughter's expression, her heart softened, she took her granddaughter's hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother of the Liu family...... It's also rare, ...... I underestimated him. ”

Wen Yi blushed and lowered her head: "What is grandmother talking about?" ”

Old Madam Lu smiled: "You don't have to be embarrassed, there are no outsiders in this house, and the girls are far away, so they can't hear it." She leaned closer, "Good boy, you tell me frankly, don't you...... Did you really identify that person? ”

Wen Yi's face turned even redder, her head hung lower, she pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, and after a while, she whispered, "Granddaughter...... But the grandmother is in charge...... so she was embarrassed to stay any longer, turned around and ran: "My granddaughter went out to ask for tea!" ”

Mrs. Lu smiled, straightened her waist, lay back, calculated the days in her heart, and felt that three days later would be an auspicious day, and then she would agree to Liu Gu's proposal. Originally, she was worried that Liu Dongxing's name was not correct and that her granddaughter would be ridiculed, but after tonight, the problem no longer existed, and she was worried that Liu Dongxing's performance was too good, which would attract the hearts of other clansmen with daughters. But in any case, at least the Liu family took the first step to mention the family matter to their sixth room, and the sixth room did not speak, and others could only stay back if they wanted to say their relatives! As for the name and property of the Liu family's house...... Let's wait for the children's marriage to be over, let's talk about it, and let the third nephew daughter go, so that she won't delay the business!

Anyway, Liu Dongxing's child is also her granddaughter's destined husband......

(Chinese New Year's Eve, a certain L is here to greet everyone for the New Year, wishing everyone a happy New Year, good health, all the best, and a good start to the New Year~~~)
