Chapter 16: Rejoicing in enemies, talented and beautiful women

It may be because of the lack of spring and autumn, and the afternoon is the most energetic time, but Mrs. Hong dozed off on the chair in the main hall, and the woolen ball was let go of the owner's hand, and the cat caught it, and played freely.

When people don't make a fuss, animals show their faces. But not everyone succumbs to time and lets Guangyue grind.

A personable boy noticed that there was no screen, so he teased the cat.

Seeing this, the cat was not afraid, and crawled straight to Lian's face and scratched him. If Xiao Xianrou is caught "miserable", how painful it will be; But even I can't bear to be "rough" with the kitten, but the two are "happy"; I almost turned the whole main hall upside down.

At this time, the old lady woke up: "What kind of system have you become like this? Xiaobang, how can you be worthy of your deceased mother? ”

The cat seemed to understand the master's command and retreated; Unfortunately, he collided with Hong on the road, and when Hong saw the situation, he saw it at a glance and let the cat slip away.

"Old lady, why hasn't my cousin spoken to me these days, is something wrong with him? If you don't say it, I'll ask him myself. "Even angry, full of decadence.

It is worth mentioning that Hong suddenly appeared in front of Lian: "People are here!" Say it, I'll listen to you. ”

Lian was shocked: What has Brother Zheng experienced this month? His face was sallow and thin, as if he had been sucked dry of his muscles, lifeless; Even witnessing this situation, I can't help but stand on my feet; In a daze, silent.

"No one has expressed an opinion; Well: I have something to announce......" Before the words fell, a voice took the lead: "No, you can't declare, you can't ......"

It turned out that Hua Xian, Hong Childhood, and now their friends Tong Zhong rushed to dissuade them out of breath, and their seemingly absurd and risky move.

Hong looked at each other, feeling both cordial and strange; It seems that the two of them are "stirring up" everywhere, which is unguardable.

The two of them half-pushed and half-agreed: "I'll say first, the old lady ......" Although they have the same heart, they are like thousands of voices; It makes Hong feel inexplicably manic, and then wants to leave.

"Childe, this is the ginseng tea specially prepared for you by the slave family, you can taste it." The maid who had mediated with the funny two appeared in Hong's sight; It made Hong feel a sense of peace of mind and happiness.

This ginseng tea is a traditional Chinese tonic; Drinking it all year round can alleviate brain aging. It is the most indispensable thing for Hong Zhengkai to learn and work.

Facing this young and lovely child in front of him, Hong couldn't help but be intoxicated; In vain, he was engrossed in drinking all the ginseng tea he had served, like a "snake falling to the ground".

"You say, is our Young Master Hong in love with the Lady Rose? Looking at the young master's affectionate eyes on him, he really can't say if it's true! What do you say, son. ”

"I can't say it, in my opinion: the sky in this Hongfu is going to change!" The young man couldn't help but look at the old lady; I saw that the old lady was very annoyed, so the whispering soon stopped abruptly.

The focus has long since ceased to be on Hong and Miss Livial; Rather, it "adjusted" as the facial expression of the hostess of the Hong Mansion "changed". At this time, the old lady's anger was gathered in one place, which was coveted; And the two who fell in love didn't know it......

couldn't stand it, so Lian Gongzi immediately dragged Hong over; The ginseng tea container, because the party was struggling to "dissociate", suddenly left Hong's hand, and with a "bang", it fell to the ground and shattered. Miss Lily could not help but wake up from Hong's tenderness, and found that the old lady was furious; As if he was going to eat himself, he turned around and ran away. Under the restraint of the doorway, love is like a caged bird; If you want to escape the world's "gravity", break the concept of etiquette and religion, and not subvert and fall into the tragedy of "peacock flying southeast", it may be a fool's dream.

"Cousin, what are you doing? Why did you force Xiaowei away! ”

Lian Gongzi was silent, but just made a gesture: let Hong's attention shift to the old lady. Suddenly, Hong noticed that the old grandmother was standing up tremblingly and preparing to go back to her room to rest. At this juncture, Hong suddenly found that he had something serious to do, and he wanted to talk to his grandmother. He whispered softly: "Old grandmother, it's not good to be a grandson!" I've kept you waiting in the main hall for a long time, yes, I'm ......."

Seeing that the words did not fall, the old lady looked tired and spit out insincerely: "No need, the old man is tired and poor; Let's talk about it tomorrow! With that, he motioned for Zheng Kai to leave.

"Grandmother, there is one thing that the grandson has pondered for a long time; Today I have to say it; Please hold your back! ”

Hua Tao and Tong Gongzi couldn't help shaking their heads, looking at each other and sighing: "We know, isn't it just ......" Before the words fell, the two were invited to a "corner" by Lian Gongzi": "What's the matter?" So mysterious! Let's listen to it...... "Lian Gongzi's curiosity has increased greatly, and his interest has been great.

Seeing that he was silent, Hua Tao couldn't help it: "He wants to join the army!" ”

After hearing this, Lian Gongzi shook his head and shook Hua Tao's head; Which of these two heads is wrong? "Joining the army", this is not a play; As soon as he came out of Sangzi, he went to the field; is nine deaths and one life, and the horse leather shroud is returned; It reached the ears of Mrs. Hong: The old lady was suddenly startled, slumped in the chair, and pondered for a long time: "Zheng'er, you can do anything; Only 'in the army', you have to think long-term. ”

Huaxian, Tong, Lian, silently; His eyes stared at the wild young master in front of him.

And Tong Gongzi quickly kept up with the rhythm of the old lady and said something like "the weight of life is heavier than Mount Tai"; The old lady listened very pleasantly; When Hong heard this, he paced angrily.

"Why, son. Ignore it! You're a big boss, and there's more important things waiting for you to do! Isn't it? With that, the old lady flipped through the calendar book.

Hong was still in the dark, sweating all the time; Constantly wipe your skin with a sweat towel; I couldn't help but faint.

"My good young master, the old lady means to choose a wife for you!" Hua Tao couldn't help but remind.

After being reminded, it was like being hit hard by a hammer; I couldn't relax for a while. "You must be joking!" I don't have that idea yet, don't you tell me, do you? ”

The old lady's face suddenly turned pale, and she realized that her grandson was old, but she still didn't look directly at her happiness in life; couldn't help jumping like thunder: "Then why did you get it with that rose girl before!" ”

"Xiaowei is my childhood friend, I grew up with me, shouldn't I have a deeper relationship with her?"

When Lian, Tong, and Hua Tao heard this, they couldn't help but wonder: What kind of medicine does this little young master sell in the gourd? On the front foot, a Miss Qiao Er just left; Why did another girl with a Lady Rise appear; How good is that?

"Presumptuous! I have heard for a long time: Miss Qiao Fu has a private agreement with you for life; It was your misbehavior and misunderstanding that led to the parting of ways with you; After that you have been imprisoned and no one else has been seen; Young Master Hong, is this your solution? ”

After hearing this, Hong thought to himself: Grandmother has always had no quarrel with the world, "I don't ask about the world; How can I and Xun'er reach his ears; It must be the thirteenth aunt who leaked the news, hum! Thinking about it, thinking about it, Hong couldn't help but rub his hands and confided: "Aunt Thirteen, hum! With that, the corners of his mouth twitched and his head was raised.

Is this the attitude of admitting mistakes? What your thirteenth aunt said is true: you are 'strict with others and lenient with yourself'; ”

After hearing this, Lian Gongzi couldn't help but plead: "Old lady, Brother Zheng is still shallow and unsophisticated; It's normal that your brain can't turn for a while, don't blame him! ”

The conjoined body is observant, and the old lady has been on the side for many years; He understood that at this moment, if he wanted Hong to get off the stage, he had to make the old lady settle down; In fact, it is.

After persuasion and reconciliation, Mrs. Hong calmed down her anger a little; owed a little money, and sent the servant to present the birthday of the "chosen beloved": Miss Qiaofu is twenty-one years old, three years older than Zhengkai; Hong and Miss Qiao Er are the same age, both of them are 18 years old, and they are already in marriageable age.

But as the old lady explained above: Hong has failed Miss Qiao Er, and people may no longer be able to stay by Hong's side; Therefore, Miss Qiao Er can only be "hopeful but unattainable". As the saying goes: "A female junior, hug the gold brick"; Miss Qiao is the best choice. When verifying with the servant, Mrs. Hong smiled and looked at Hong Zhengkai levelly.

Hong Zheng was sincerely frightened, and couldn't help but take a few steps back: his face was pale; desperately handed over his eyes to Lian, Tong, and Hua Tao to dissuade them from doing so; But it didn't work.

This group of "friends" all "beat the drum" to speak for the old lady; It shows that the old lady's proposal is very impressed. Immediately and arranged for the elderly to beat the back of the "massage", "Hong" was very happy to watch.

"Grandmother, everyone, I don't know what you should do if you know that you are in troubled times?"

The four people on the other side all stopped abruptly and listened to the teachings of the scholar of Qihong.

"Could it be that since the country was in trouble, everyone only cares about their own life and death; If you don't do your part for the motherland, is this considered a qualified person? Although I have been educated and admired the teachings of the saints, I hope that I can succeed in my studies and serve the motherland. ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Hong was already sober; realized that his grandson was full of family and country, and had no intention of personal safety.

The old man couldn't help but burst into tears: "My Zheng'er, you are the only descendant of our Hongfu; You have high hopes for your ancestors. Besides, you haven't started a family yet, when will my grandson be able to hold it! ”

Hong saw his grandmother's difficulties, and couldn't help but sway: "Loyalty and filial piety can't be both." I'm sorry. In this life, I can't live with you the most. But I don't want to live up to my country and my dreams. I'm sorry. ”

After that, Hong bowed deeply to the old lady in front of Lian, Tong, and Hua Tao: "Take good care of the old lady." ”

Witnessing this scene, readers may be quite moved.

Turning away, resolutely; This left a deep impression on Mrs. Hong, Lian, Tong, and Hua Tao in their hearts, and they lingered.

"The last request, I hope my grandson will agree."

Hong stayed temporarily, "Please speak." ”

Mrs. Hong paused for a while: "Before joining the army, I married Miss Qiao Er, and I hope my grandson agrees." ”

After that, the old lady burst into tears, trembling and trembling.

Hong, whose eyes were like torches, knew that it was hopeless to hold hands with Qiao: "Yes, grandmother." But I also have one condition: I want to accept Xiaowei as my second wife; Can. ”

The four of them looked at each other and had no choice but to agree.

On an auspicious day when the wind was clear and clear, Qiao Hong's second mansion was about to have a meeting.
