Chapter 171: Encounter
Jiang Yixi said, "Mama, I have something important to discuss with Uncle Wu. Stay outside the door and don't let anyone disturb us. ”
When Mama Wu heard this, she quickly got up and walked out of the hall and stood under the porch.
Jiang Yi regretted to retreat to the east side of the house and closed the door again. She didn't sit on the kang by the window, but on the circle chair against the wall.
"Uncle Wu, what's going on, you can say it."
She felt that it was probably the real family of the Hu family who committed some big crime and took the Hu family to her grandfather's house since she was a child. And Mrs. Zheng knew the true origin of the Hu family, and the two of them happened to have an enmity......
Uncle Wu walked to Jiang Yixi's side, sighed heavily, and turned his eyes out the window again, recalling things that had been a long time ago.
The old lady Hu is a humble man, and she is very sophisticated. After more than ten years of working in northern Shaanxi, he became acquainted with Master Li, who came to inspect at the age of nearly forty, and the two were actually fellow villagers. With the support of Lord Li, he was finally promoted to Fengping County on the outskirts of Beijing as a county magistrate.
The old lady Hu brought his wife, sixteen-year-old daughter, and fourteen-year-old second son to the post. The eldest son has been admitted to the Juren and is studying at Xiqingfu Academy, but he and his wife and children did not come.
Hu Mingya is bright and moving, has excellent charm, and is quite talented, and is a flower in that small county. The old lady doted on this girl very much, and she was so dazzled by others that she had not found a suitable person at the age of sixteen. happened to meet him for promotion, thinking that he could find a better future life when he went to the capital.
Once Hu Mingya took the nurse and the girl to the temple to offer incense, the coachman was at the bottom of the mountain, and only the three of them went up the mountain. The nurse is Uncle Wu's mother, the old Wu Mama, the little girl is the fourteen-year-old Qin Mama, the girl's name is Wanqing, and the coachman is Uncle Wu's father, Wu Laozhang.
After the incense, they suddenly encountered heavy rain when they came down the mountain, and they ran to a pavilion in the mountain to take shelter from the rain. Due to her anxiety, Hu Mingya and the old Mama Wu who was holding her accidentally fell, and their hands and knees were bloodied.
There happened to be a handsome young man in the pavilion, and he gave them the ointment on his body.
After the rain stopped, they went their separate ways, neither expecting that there would be another intersection in the future.
Three days later, it happened to be the Midyear Festival, and Hu Mingzhuo, the second son of Hu, took his sister Hu Mingya to put lotus lanterns on the river outside the city. Because there were too many people, Hu Mingya, who was playing with great fun, and the girl Wanqing and the second son of Hu and others were separated.
Hu Mingya and Wanqing first arrived, and it was night, so they were very scared, and they looked for Hu and the two of them all the way. What they didn't know was that a few of the little hooligans had been following them, flirting with them when no one was around.
Just as a young general passed by and beat the hooligans away.
And that young general is the person he met in the pavilion three days ago.
Both of them recognized each other and laughed, saying two words at the same time.
"That's a coincidence."
"That's a coincidence."
The young general clenched his fists again and smiled, "My surname is Zheng, may I ask the girl......"
Hu Mingya grew up in a small county town since she was a child, and she didn't pay so much attention to it, so she said with a smile, "My surname is Hu, and my father is the county magistrate of Fengping County." ”
General Zheng Xiao also knew that the new county lord's surname was Hu, and said with a smile, "That's a coincidence." I am the general of the Fifth Unity, and the Fifth Regiment Battalion is not far from Fengping County......"
While the two were talking, the frightened Second Prince Hu came over.
Hu Mingzhuo heard that General Zheng Xiao had helped his sister, hugged his fists, thanked him, and took his sister away.
A few days later, on the rest of the day, Hu Mingzhuo, who was studying at the county school, brought back his new friend General Zheng Xiao.
Hu County Ling saw that General Zheng Xiao was tall and heroic, and he spoke quite well, and he was on an errand in Wujie, and he became a seven-rank military attache at a young age, and he was very appreciative and very willing to let his son associate with him.
Hu County Ling also has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, if the child is proper, he can be recruited as a son-in-law.
He also asked about his son, General Zheng Xiao, about his family.
The second son of Hu also had that meaning, and he had already asked, saying that his father had no errands at present, and his uncle was a general in the army.
Hu Xian Ling thought that he understood, General Zheng Xiao's family should not be very good, but his uncle was capable. Such a family background is also a good match for his own family, and he has a future in the future, so he is a little more willing.
Every time General Zheng Xiao came to Hu Mingzhuo to play, the Hu family was full of good wine, good food and good hospitality.
What the Hu family father and son didn't know was that General Zheng Xiao had more intersections with Hu Mingya in private. The two met by chance in the ink studio, at the corner of the street, and when they were ascending......
Two months later, Hu Mingya took Wanqing to the embroidery workshop to buy embroidery thread, and met General Zheng Xiao in front of the door.
Seeing that General Zheng Xiao was walking with a little lameness, Hu Mingya asked, "What happened to General Zheng Xiao's leg?" ”
General Zheng Xiao blushed and said with a smile, "I often leave the camp these days and am beaten by the commander. ”
Hu Mingya wondered before, how could he often appear in Fengping County as an errand boy in the military camp. Now I understand that he should have secretly run out to meet him.
Hu Mingya also blushed, feeling very distressed. He persuaded softly, "Then you should be an errand and don't leave the camp without permission." ”
General Zheng Xiao pointed to the teahouse on the first floor opposite and said, "I asked for a box there, and I have a few words I want to say to Miss Hu." ”
Hu Mingya nodded in agreement.
General Zheng Xiao entered the box first, and only walked in after half an hour Hu Mingya and Wanqing.
General Zheng Xiao was injured and couldn't sit, so he stood and poured a cup of tea for Hu Mingya, before saying, "The young general admires Miss Hu for being beautiful and talented, kind and gentle, but I am afraid that Lord Hu and Miss Hu will not give me a chance, so I didn't dare to say the specific situation of my family at first." My mother is the eldest princess of Yichang, the emperor's aunt. His father is Zheng Juma, or the Marquis of Rongchang, and his uncle is the governor. I immediately went back to report to my mother and father, and asked them to go to Hu's house to propose marriage. In this life and this life, I will not marry you ......"
Hu Mingya also admired General Zheng Xiao, who was both civil and military, tall and handsome, and was even more moved by his infatuation.
said, "I'll wait." ”
Jiang Yixi kept covering his mouth tightly so that he didn't shout. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she endured it.
Uncle Wu only said that the young general was "General Zheng Xiao", but did not say the name. But when he first said that the little general's surname was Zheng, Jiang Yixi guessed that the person was Zheng Ji.
She didn't want to think about it anymore, and muttered, "The daughter of a county magistrate has just come from a remote mountainous area, how could the eldest princess of Yichang agree." ”
Uncle Wu's eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Yes, the girl guessed right. Yichang Eldest Princess's Mansion and Hu Family, one in the sky and the other in the ground......"
Hu Mingya happily returned home. She didn't dare to tell her parents, and she didn't allow Wanqing to tell anyone. She waited excitedly and anxiously, but after nearly a month, the eldest princess of Yichang did not come to the Hu family to propose marriage.
On that day, a person came to the family and called Hu County Ling and his wife to have a secret talk.
Wanqing, who went out to inquire about the news, ran back and said, "Girl, I inquired, that person is from the princess's mansion in Yichang." ”
