Chapter 17: The main hall is confronted, and the marriage is concluded

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.
