Chapter 7: The Adoption of a Girl
The night on the mountain is even quieter, so silent that you can hear the sounds of the mountain animals.
"Sss Fu Jingrong's heart suddenly hurt, and he knew that his heart disease began to fall ill again, thinking of Xu Zhisheng who was still sleeping next to him, Fu Jingrong covered his heart and endured it silently.
In the past, heart disease would attack all day long, but now, because he wants to do important things, Fu Jingrong has eaten pain-relieving Ma Boiling San, although it can relieve pain in a short time, but the attack time is a little irregular, and each attack will be very uncomfortable.
Feeling that the pain was getting worse and worse, in order not to make noise to Xu Zhisheng, Fu Jingrong dragged his body out of the room directly.
There was no one in the courtyard, so Fu Jingrong fell directly to the ground, his face was pale, his fists were clenched, and small drops of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and he endured not to make any movement.
As a martial arts person with high internal strength, although Fu Jingrong's movement was not large, he was still the first to be informed by Xia Haijie.
knew that Fu Jingrong's heart disease began to attack again, but he remembered Fu Jingrong's character, if he went out at this time, Fu Jingrong would think that he was noisy and hide elsewhere.
Xia Haijie sighed and didn't go out, but stayed in the room all the time, feeling Fu Jingrong's breath.
It is estimated that it took about an hour for Fu Jingrong's breath to slowly stabilize from shortness of breath.
After making sure that Fu Jingrong's heart disease had passed, Xia Haijie opened the door and saw Fu Jingrong sitting on the ground decadently.
"Heart attack again?"
"Hmm." Seeing someone come out, Fu Jingrong returned to his usual appearance, flattened the crumpled clothes again, and asked casually, "Woke you up?" ”
"Nope." Xia Haijie took a fan from the square stone table in the courtyard, and then sat down next to Fu Jingrong, "I was woken up by the heat." ”
The moon was very bright tonight, and the moonlight was shining on Fu Jingrong's face, making him even more pale.
"Why are you in trouble?" Xia Haijie snorted lightly, "Just let Zhou Yan and Xia Shen live together, and it will save you from tossing." ”
"I'm afraid that the child will have nightmares, I have to take care of it, and let's talk about today's events, Pei Qing, this kid still has to digest it, maybe he will hide in the quilt and shed tears, always give them some space."
Xia Haijie touched his beard, and when he thought about it, it seemed that Jing Rong was still thoughtful.
"But Jingrong, I know that you like children, and I also know that Pei Qing was raised by you, but raising a man and a girl is still different, and Zhou Yan is still a girl after all." Xia Haijie looked at the house, "Although you are seven years old now, you will eventually get married in a few years, and you still have to take care of the innocence of others." ”
As if considering what Xia Haijie told him, Fu Jingrong was silent for a moment, "Got it." ”
Xia Haijie looked like a teachable child, but it didn't last long before he was choked by Fu Jingrong's words.
"Have you ever raised a girl?"
Xia Haijie looked at Fu Jingrong suspiciously, trying to tell from his face whether he was more joking or serious.
After all, he only has two sons, but no daughters, although the eldest son is distracted, he has two wives and concubines, one child was born in the main house, and two were born in the side room, all of them were boys.
Only the second son gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but the second son's family was separated from the family very early.
He was originally from a martial arts family, but the second son made a living from the dart game, and later the family encountered mountain bandits on the way, and finally died outside, leaving only the eight-year-old boy Xia Shen, and his sister Xia Zhen was also dead because of that incident.
Xia Haijie has never met Xia Shen and Xia Zhen's brothers and sisters, but he still has feelings for them, and after knowing in his second son's letter that he has such two precious grandchildren, he often sends someone to send some things over.
Later, after the accident of the second son, Xia Haijie saw Xia Shen for the first time, although it was the first time he saw him, but he decided that he was the child of his second son, because Xia Shen looked too much like his father.
Xu is a little similar, coupled with a strong blood relationship, Xia Haijie took more care of him, seeing that he was thin and small, Xia Haijie personally took care of Xia Shen, taught him to practice martial arts, and taught him to grow up.
So to put it this way, he really hasn't raised a girl.
But in front of Fu Jingrong, this face can't be lost, Xia Haijie still has to harden his mouth, "Uh... Of course I raised, you, don't look down on people. ”
Looking at Xia Haijie's flushed cheeks, although Fu Jingrong had doubts about his words, he still humbly asked, "How do you raise that girl?" ”
"Well..."Xia Haijie fanned the wind, and then fanned away the residual heat on his face, "It is probably cultivated into a talented girl who is beautiful and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." ”
"Can you be specific?"
Xia Haijie thought for a moment and replied: "First, there must be a boudoir, the girl's boudoir cannot be allowed to outsiders to enter, and if a man steps into it, she will be married into the door; Second, to be talented, girls are versatile, and it is also excellent to learn some instrumental music or singing and dancing; Third... This third... Just watch and do it. ”
You can do it, he can't make it up anyway.
Seeing that Fu Jingrong was pondering, and was afraid that he would learn from him about the adopted girl later, Xia Haijie hurriedly found an excuse to leave, "It's getting late, I'm sleepy, let's go first." ”
Fu Jingrong was left alone to ponder, "Is that so?" ”
It wasn't until there were some sounds in the room that Fu Jingrong stopped thinking about these things and got up and went back to the room.
Xu Zhisheng on the bed didn't sleep well enough, her brows were furrowed, as if she was having a nightmare, tears involuntarily flowed out of her eyes and slowly fell on the pillow.
"Daddy... Mother..."
Fu Jingrong sat next to the bed and gently wiped Xu Zhisheng's tears with a towel, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
It seemed that hearing this low bewitching voice, Xu Zhisheng gradually relaxed, and his brows also relaxed.
Don't be afraid, I'm here...
That's the sentence.
The scene of firelight, sword shadows, and sharp arrows is fleeting, and the scenes of the countryside, flowers, and family follow...
///
The morning sunlight was projected through the window, and Xu Zhisheng turned over in his sleep, just bumping into a person.
Mistaking it for Xiao Huan, Xu Zhisheng approached Xiao Huan dimly, but he didn't expect to touch Xiao Huan's arm.
I remember that Xiaohuan's arm doesn't seem to have so many muscles, could it be that he knows some secret recipe?
Thinking like this, Xu Zhisheng came to his senses, and when he suddenly opened his eyes, he was horrified to find that it was actually Fu Jingrong who was sleeping next to him, and his hand was on his arm.
Seeing that Fu Jingrong had no signs of sobering up, Xu Zhisheng quickly retracted his hand.
It turned out that it wasn't a dream, everything that happened yesterday was true, Xiao Huan was hit by an arrow, his father and mother died tragically, and he had nowhere to go, so he lived with Fu Jingrong and them.
Fu Jingrong sleeps in a very upright position, and from Xu Zhisheng's point of view, you can see his face, with an angular face, which seems to be a little darker except for his face, which is basically the same as the appearance of the man he meets in modern times.
"Have you seen enough?" The eyes that should have been closed are now open.
The beautiful man in front of him made Xu Zhisheng swallow his saliva inexplicably, and replied in a haunted manner: "I've seen enough..."
As soon as he finished answering, Xu Zhisheng immediately sobered up, ahh
"Ahem, I didn't look at anything." Xu Zhisheng immediately covered his eyes, revealing only a small slit where he could see with his eyes to avoid obstacles, and then fled the room.
As long as I run away fast, I'm not embarrassed.
With this idea in mind, when Xu Zhisheng came to the courtyard, the courtyard was empty, Wu Peiqing and Xia Shen went down the mountain early in the morning, and Xia Haijie was not in the room.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw that Xia Haijie had just returned.
"Uncle Xia is good." Xu Zhisheng greeted Xia Haijie.
"Good words." Xia Haijie watched Xu Zhisheng peek behind him, and he smiled, "Xia Shen, they have gone down the mountain, and they haven't come back yet, so they may have to wait." ”
The idea was seen through by Xia Haijie, and Xu Zhisheng scratched his head a little embarrassed, "Well, I know." ”
"I'll go back to my room and rest first."
"Uncle Xia, walk slowly."
"Hmm."
Yesterday, I accompanied Fu Jingrong, and after waking up in the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep, so I simply went to practice, so all of a sudden, Xia Haijie suddenly had an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes, maybe he was really old.
After sending off Xia Haijie, now only Xu Zhisheng was left alone in the courtyard, and she simply waited for them to come back in the courtyard.
Looking at the sky, he suddenly remembered something, so he squatted on the ground and drew on the ground with a small stone.
The white powder was smeared on the ground, and the finished product was quickly revealed, and that was a token.
In the second pursuit, Xu Zhisheng unintentionally saw that it had appeared on the man in black.
However, not everyone has it, Xu Zhisheng has carefully observed, and only the leader of the men in black has this symbol of identity.
Now under Xu Zhisheng's hands, the appearance of this token is gradually revealed, and if there is a full score of ten, she has drawn at least nine points.
I'm afraid she will never forget the scene again.
Looking at the painting on the ground, Xu Zhisheng was silent, who are these people in black?
Hearing the movement outside the courtyard, Xu Zhisheng immediately erased the token he had just drawn, because the small stone belongs to talc, also known as the painting stone, and the painting is easily erased.
"You're back." Seeing Wu Peiqing and Xia Shen carrying large bags of things, Xu Zhisheng hurriedly went over to help.
"You don't know how hard Xia Shen, the iron rooster, usually is, but today he bought a lot of little girl's gadgets in ink, and those who don't know think they bought it for his sweetheart." Wu Peiqing handed the light package to Xu Zhisheng.
"The key is ugly..."Seeing Xia Shen's eyes on him, Wu Peiqing's strong desire to survive made Wu Peiqing swallow his words, and instead praised him, "It's pretty good-looking at it." ”
While talking, they all walked into the courtyard, and after putting down all the things, Xia Shen gave one of them to Xu Zhisheng, and Wu Peiqing also gave her a package.
"This is the dress I bought for you, that one was bought by Xia Shen, you go and see if it fits."
Xu Zhisheng took the package, feeling a little in his heart, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by Wu Peiqing.
"Don't say thank you, go change it." Wu Peiqing couldn't wait to see Xu Zhisheng put on his clothes.
Under the urging of Wu Peiqing, Xu Zhisheng returned to Fu Jingrong's room and found that the room had changed greatly.
The bed facing the door had been moved to the side and replaced by a blanket with a quilt and pillows, which were clearly reserved for bunks.
And the person who made it like this is opening the screen, and this opening will cut off the space near the bed at once, leaving only a passage through the space.
Sensing that someone was coming in, Fu Jingrong stopped his movements and his eyes stayed on the two bags of baggage, "What are those two lumps you are taking?" ”
"Clothes." Xu Zhisheng looked around, and now that the screen was blocked, he couldn't see the scene inside the screen at all.
This series of operations made Xu Zhisheng a little incomprehensible, "This is?" ”
"My room." Fu Jingrong pointed to the current room, and then pointed to the inside of the screen, "Your room." ”
Fu Jingrong thought about what Xia Haijie said yesterday, and had a preliminary plan to raise a girl, this is one of them, the girl must have a boudoir.
"There's no extra room, so let's make do with it first." Fu Jingrong stood aside and made way for Xu Zhisheng.
The space inside the screen is about the same size as the one in front, in addition to a bed and other daily furniture, there is also a guqin.
"Thank you."
Thinking of the embarrassing thing that happened this morning, he finally didn't have to squeeze a bed with Fu Jingrong anymore, Xu Zhisheng felt happy when he thought about it.
But this kind of happiness was mistaken by Fu Jingrong for being happy because he had a boudoir, so he agreed with Xia Haijie's point of view even more.
Thinking of the second trick that Xia Haijie gave him, combined with his own style, Fu Jing Rongyun said lightly: "I don't want this piano anymore, it's a pity to throw it away, so I'll give it to you." ”
Xu Zhisheng looked at the guqin that took several years to make of good wood, and the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to give it to her and say it directly.
"But I can't play."
"I won't go to school."
"No, I don't learn."
Xu Zhisheng is not interested in these musical instruments at all, Zhou Yi did not let her learn guzheng before, she fished for two days, dried nets for three days, and studied intermittently for at least a year, until Zhou Yi heard her play a few times, and then dispelled this idea.
"If you don't want it, throw it away."
Fu Jingrong has a certain understanding of Xu Zhisheng, he doesn't believe that Xu Zhisheng really threw away this guqin, leave the qin first, and then follow it step by step, there will definitely be a day when he learns the guqin.
Facts have proved that Fu Jingrong is right, of course, this is also a later story.
At this time, Xu Zhisheng had only one thought in his heart, this man was really a loser, although he thought so, he still hurriedly stopped Fu Jingrong, "Keep it first, maybe I'll be interested in it later." ”
"Are you sure you can learn?" Fu Jingrong was a little skeptical of her words.
Listening to what Fu Jingrong said, Xu Zhisheng was a little humble.
"Well... I'll change my clothes now, and the second brother is still waiting. ”
"Okay then."
Anyway, his treacherous plan has succeeded.
After 'inviting' Fu Jingrong out, Xu Zhisheng finally had the energy to try on clothes.
She first opened the package that Wu Peiqing gave her, the red dress with large purple flowers tattooed on it, she couldn't bear to look at it directly.
In view of Wu Peiqing's vision, Xu Zhisheng no longer had any hope for the clothes Xia Shen gave her, and opened the package with complicated feelings.
After seeing the clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was a moon-white dress, compared to the previous dress, this one did not have the feeling of bells and whistles, and it was more concise.
She changed her dress, because there were no mirrors in the room, so she had to wear it out to see how they reacted.
I tried on every dress, and after everyone saw it, except for Xia Shen, everyone else thought that the red dress was good-looking.
looked at the red and purple dress, which made Xu Zhisheng doubt his vision for the first time, could it be that my eyes were not good?
