217 lest someone snatch her away
Xiao Mu raised his hand: "The old lady is serious, the junior comes uninvited late at night, such a harassment is rude and presumptuous - please ask the old lady to sit first." ”
Old Madam Meng didn't make much excuses, smiled and bowed, and Ning Yu helped her to sit on the top seat.
After helping her grandmother to sit down, Ning Yu walked to Hengyu's side and gently tugged at her sister's sleeve, with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Heng Yu smiled very reluctantly at Sister A.
The current situation was also unexpected for her......
Seeing this, Ning Yu gently patted the back of her sister's hand, winked at her sister, and said two words silently with her lips - don't be afraid.
Over there, Xiao Mu sat down under the signal of Mrs. Meng again, but his body was straight and stiff, and he didn't dare to feel the slightest sense of relaxation, so he didn't want to sit down.
Seeing this, Ji Nanxian also forced himself to sit down - to be calm, to be calm, at least as a mother and brother, the momentum cannot be short!
"I just heard my unsuccessful grandson say in a daze...... Xiao Jie's envoy seems to be interested in my family's Ah Heng? Old Madam Meng opened her mouth to inquire, and there was no joy or anger in her tone, only a decent smile on her face.
Xiao Mu lowered his head slightly, and replied without hesitation: "Yes." ”
Mrs. Meng said with a smile: "Xiao Jie makes a young hero, and his merits are great, and it is the luck of my Ji family girl to be loved——"
Xiao Mu hurriedly said: "It is the luck of the younger generation to meet Hengyu." ”
Old Madam Meng smiled noncommittally, and then said: "Although Ah Heng is a little calmer than ordinary girls, she is still young, so under this situation, the elder will inevitably have to ask more questions for her - I don't know what the plan is under this Xiao Jie's 'belonging'?" ”
Ji Nanxian's face was straight, and he felt that this sentence was to the point - this answer is particularly important!
Xiao Mu raised his eyes and looked at Hengyu, and the words were clear: "Since the three books and six ceremonies have been hired, respect her, give her sincerity, protect her well-being, follow Qing's wishes, walk with Qing, support together, and die together." ”
He has been living on the battlefield for a long time, and what he has seen for many years is the wind and sand and blood, and he has long been separated by thousands of miles from the poetry of green mountains and soft waters, flowers and plants, and he has no understanding of any wind and snow, and what he says is just from the heart, original, without any rhetorical embellishment, just a frank voice.
The smile on Mrs. Meng's face did not change, and she only asked again: "Then why today?" ”
Of course, she had seen it a long time ago, but the other party's trip didn't look like she was too prepared.
The young man sitting there said truthfully: "Ah Heng is good everywhere, as my mother said, there is more than one person who knows pearls, and the younger generation is afraid that someone will snatch her." ”
Ji Nanxian heard it in his heart-isn't it Jin Jialangjun who is talking about?
So, the current situation is actually caused by his mouth?
Brother Ji, who was a little mentally delirious, couldn't tell what was the point for a while.
"Discerning Eyes and Pearls...... Old Lady Meng smiled kindly: "According to this, my family's Ah Heng is a treasure pearl, and Xiao Jie's envoy and Lingtang both have discernment?" ”
Xiao Mu smiled slightly.
However, in Hengyu's eyes, this person still couldn't hide the tension in his bones.
At first, when he faced her brother, he said that he liked her as soon as she opened her mouth, and she still thought that he could really be calm and calm to the end.
Now it seems that nine times out of ten it is strongly performed.
Seeing that his grandmother had no sign of opposition to this matter, Ji Nanxian couldn't help but say: "Grandmother, this marriage is not child's play, and you must be cautious—"
It's not that he doesn't like Xiao Jie, but if he likes it, his sister-in-law will return to his sister-in-law!
Regarding Xiao Jie's envoy being his sister-in-law, he is not mentally prepared at all, if he doesn't say that there is, it is also the opposite!
"Nanxian's words are right." Old Madam Meng nodded with a slight smile, looked at Xiao Mu, and said: "The things that my family Ah Heng has experienced are different from ordinary little ladies, so her temperament and views on things are not the mainstream of the world, and this must have been noticed by Xiao Jie's envoy——"
"Yes, Ah Heng is very different from ordinary girls."
Xiao Mu looked at Hengyu and said softly: "The difference is roughly that she has an extra word 'dare' on her body, she dares to cry out for innocents when she sees injustice, she dares to do what she wants in her heart when she is in danger, and she is not afraid of the thorns in the road ahead, and she dares to have the courage to break through the darkness in the darkness and filth." She is determined, resourceful, not biased, not resentful, if you only compare it with ordinary girls, it is limited, Ah Heng's strengths, regardless of men and women, are outstanding, the best among people——"
When Hengyu heard the end, she only felt that it was gradually changing, and she had a feeling that the other party wanted to make a blood alliance with her.
However, there are some ways to go wrong...... She's just very useful.
Frankly speaking, she likes to be understood and appreciated by the people she likes, beyond the relationship between men and women.
Ji Nanxian listened to it and couldn't help but be stunned.
Such an answer was unexpected to him.
At first glance, these words were not in my favorite, but above my favorite—
There is no looking down and gazing at a man, not even the so-called love and protection, but the appreciation and even admiration of the equal position of the gaze.
Compared with the love between men and women and the shallow love that falls into the skin, this kind of real admiration is undoubtedly more deeply rooted and solid.
Realizing this, Ji Nanxian really calmed down and looked at the envoy Xiao who made him awe and admire with an objective gaze.
"Master Fang Caiji mentioned to the old lady that marriage is not a child's play, and I also think it is true."
Thinking of the reaction of the brother of the Ji family who was comparable to seeing a ghost, knowing that he was famous as a military general, Xiao Mu explained: "Today's words, there is no intention to coerce your mansion to agree to this, just to show your intentions, I hope that when your mansion thinks about Ah Heng's family affairs in the future, you can also take it into consideration, instead of treating the scene as a flood beast or keeping away——"
Seeing that he was cautious, for fear of scaring her family, Hengyu wanted to laugh a little and was a little heartwarming.
"Xiao Jie's words are serious." Old Madam Meng smiled and said, "Now that we have become allies, how can we not believe in the people of Xiao Jie's envoy...... Let's say something understandable, if you really talk about marriage, this family affair is our Ji family, why should Xiao Jiezhi put himself in a situation where he is being picked? ”
"In terms of character, Ah Heng and the noble mansion that taught Ah Heng such a character are above the younger generations. In terms of family background, Xiao was born in a small way and has no family background support, which is far less than the scholarly inheritance of your mansion from generation to generation. Xiao Mu's tone was sincere: "I really don't dare to take the word Gao Pan." ”
Old Madam Meng smiled and shook her head: "Xiao Jieenvoy doesn't have to be so humble. ”
"No, the younger generation is now in a difficult situation, there are many disasters, and they know that they are not a good match, and they should not talk about marriage too early, but they still have a selfish heart, so they insist on making their intentions clear - and since they have decided to open their mouths and leave them to your government to think about and weigh them, there is no reason to hide from them, so there is one thing that must be truthfully stated to your government."
Heng Yu heard this mention in his heart, and subconsciously spoke: "Xiao Jingshi-"
Xiao Mu looked at her when he heard the voice.
The two looked at each other, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.
Then, Heng Yu listened to him say to his grandmother: "The younger generation's surname is Shi, not Xiao." ”
Several members of the Ji family were stunned.
Old Madam Meng smiled slightly, and had an astonishing guess in her heart: "Xiao Jie envoy...... When the original surname? ”
"Yes, my name." Xiao Mu replied calmly and crisply.
Old Mrs. Meng, who had always been inconspicuous, froze for a moment.
"Shi Jingzhi ......" Ji Nanxian read the name in a daze, his face gradually surprised, and then he suddenly got up from his chair and looked at the young man in shock.
As a result, the brother of the Ji family, who had just calmed down from the astonishing cognition of "Xiao Jieenvoy actually wanted to be my sister-in-law", fell into another even more amazing cognitive whirlpool again!
This night can be regarded as the end of his heart!
"Xiao Jie's envoy...... Was......?! He didn't dare to mention that name again, and he didn't forget to look at the closed door.
At this time, Jingzhi, is it really the one he thinks?!
Ning Yu was also breathless, grabbed Hengyu's hand in disbelief, and her voice was low and trembling: "Xiao Yu'er, this matter is really ......"
Hengyu nodded lightly with her, then took a few steps forward, stood beside Xiao Mu, and said to his grandmother and brother and sister: "Jing Shi was originally the son of the late Shu Guogong, but he escaped by luck nine years ago, changed his appearance, and changed his name to Xiao Mu. ”
"Ah Heng...... You already know?! "Ji Nanxian almost fell on his back - how many amazing things his sister hid from him!
"Yes, I knew it as early as when I was in Yingzhou." Hengyu said frankly.
Xiao Mu stood up, stood side by side with her, and raised his hand to apologize to Old Lady Meng and Ji Nanxian: "Ah Heng is afraid of me, so he hid this matter for me. ”
"No......" Ji Nanxian waved his hand with a complicated expression: "It's not like that, I'm not blaming Ah Heng for not saying it earlier...... This matter is related to the safety of Xiao Jie's envoy, and he should not be told to others at will. Ah Heng is not wrong, and Xiao Jie is even more wrong. ”
He just...... What a surprise!
"Nanxian is right." Old Madam Meng looked at Xiao Mu, and many words came to her mouth, but she just sighed softly: "Fortunately, God still has eyes, which is really a blessing in misfortune...... Child, I'm sorry for you. ”
At this moment, Hengyu turned his head to look at the person beside him, his eyes were hot, and his eyes were red.
She couldn't tell exactly how she felt, almost instinctively, and reached out to take his hand.
The two were already standing side by side, covered by her sleeves, and this action was quite secretive.
A hint of warmth appeared between Xiao Mu's eyebrows, and then he looked at Mrs. Meng and the others, only to feel that the warmth was even greater.
"If you look at it like this, you really have a bit or two of the past...... Although you and I didn't get along much when we were young, we still left an impression. Ji Nanxian came closer, thought about what happened to the young man in front of him, and then looked at the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his heart, and patted the young man's shoulder with relief, and when the hand that patted the shoulder slipped, he wanted to shake the young man's hand to give deeper comfort-
Sensing his brother's intentions, Heng Yu hurriedly let go of his hand.
Ji Nanxian: "! ”
He's seen it!
Okay, in front of my grandmother, I just got started?!
Facing the eyes of the Ji family's elder brother, Xiao Mu tried his best to make himself look less weak.
"The old things of the current family...... We all have discernment in our hearts. Recalling the old things, Mrs. Meng's eyes were also a little astringent: "Good boy, how did you come over all these years?" Want to talk about it? If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine...... Let's just talk about the future. ”
As this kid just said, "Xiao Mu" was born in a humble background, and it is unimaginable for ordinary people to be able to get to such a position today, not to mention that he is burdened with such a heavy past......
"Thank you for the old lady's kindness, the experience of the younger generation over the years is nothing to talk about." Xiao Mu's face was calm and relaxed, and his tone was relieved.
This relief is not to let go of hatred and the past, but to try to reconcile with one's own heart - this change starts from the night when he returned to the Shuguo Mansion to sacrifice his father's birthday.
As for what he has experienced over the years, it starts from nine years ago.
Along the way, the young people who have carried a lot of burdens choose to be honest about everything about themselves.
When Xiao Mu left the study here, it was already past the time of his son.
Under the unanimous turn of his grandmother and brother and sister, Hengyu personally sent the person out.
"You sent me back for such a trip, why did you shake out everything about yourself inside and out?" On the way to the backyard, Hengyu asked with a sigh.
"Shouldn't it be the most basic thing to show sincerity and be honest with each other?" Xiao Mu's tone was rare and relaxed: "Besides, it's quite easy to say it." ”
Heng Yu held his hand and asked with a smile: "Then again, didn't you swear that I would pick it before, why are you so anxious to care about my grandmother and brother now?" ”
The person beside her said leisurely: "When do I want a title, in the end, I just want to ask for a qualification to be an alternative." ”
"But when you say this, is there any room for choosing someone else? And brought out the truth of the old thing, so that my grandmother's heart softened, and I don't know how to cherish you. It's my brother and sister, and those two pairs of eyes are going to cry and swell for you—"
Xiao Mu listened to the silence for a moment and said, "Maybe ...... Is this the so-called windfall? ”
Heng Yu looked at him suspiciously: "Xiao Jingshi, shouldn't you be deliberately trying to make a bitter plan?" ”
Xiao Mu looked ahead with a smile in his eyes, noncommittal: "Among the tactics of the soldiers, this is what I am not good at." ”
"But I think you're pretty handy." Hengyu raised his hand and pinched his ear.
Xiao Mu hissed lightly, turned his head and reminded her: "This is in your house, beware that I called my grandmother and brother-"
"Now you're relying on them to cherish you, right?"
Xiao Mu took his hand and said in a pleasant tone: "It's not now, I plan to rely on this in the future." ”
"You're such a person, how did you come to my house with this trick of competing for favor—"
"You have already taken away my mother's whole heart, and I have suffered from it for a long time, so why did you say anything?"
The moon was as bright as a mirror, and the low laughter of the two gradually faded away.
……
On the other side, Ji Nanxian returned to the bedroom of the courtyard, and his wife had not yet slept.
"Why did you come back? I've been talking about it for so long, and I've said something! Yu, who had been scratching her heart for a long time, asked her husband and withdrew all her subordinates.
Ji Nanxian came to the bed and sat down with his eyes down, and Yu saw that her husband's eyes were red, and she couldn't help but be stunned: "...... Have you cried? It's not yet time to get married, isn't it early to cry? ”
"It's not because of this." Ji Nanxian sighed with his hands on his knees, his voice slightly hoarse.
