The four eyes looked at each other, speechless.

Yuan Lingchao's heart was pounding, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

He Zhishang's hint has already indicated his attitude - does Junyue Jun Xi Jun know?

Yuan Lingchao sighed, in the past, she could confidently refuse He Zhishang, she didn't have that kind of relationship between men and women for him, but now, she couldn't tell what she felt.

Love? It's not to the point where it swears along.

Like is to stop at the point of a good friend, so what kind of relationship does they belong to?

Thinking of this, Yuan Lingchao said to He Zhishang word by word: "Weifu, I understand what you mean. It's just that, listen to me, haven't we reached the point where we have to be indispensable? ”

What if He Zhishang likes her? Could it be that she has to rely on each other for life and death?

Each other is a thoughtful adult, she is mature in her heart, and He Zhishang is not a reckless hairy boy, so does their relationship have to wait for a while?

Love can't be too impulsive, can't be too hasty, she has another investigation of He Zhishang.

Unexpectedly, when he got Yuan Lingchao's answer, He Zhishang's face remained unchanged, and he was inevitably disappointed.

He likes Yuan Lingchao, Yuan Lingchao has concerns about him, it seems that he is not good enough.

"We're friends, aren't we?" He Zhishang smiled, his smile in the night was rounder and brighter than the bright moon on the horizon. It seems that a person who naturally has a handsome face is pleasing to the eye no matter what he does.

Yuan Lingchao bowed, "We are confidants and friends, Wei Fu." ”

A gentleman's friend, this relationship doesn't need to change, it's good.

"Ling Chao, you and I don't need to be rusty."

He Zhishang said, "When you are a friend, you have to drink a cup in a chic manner, eat a meal, and the rice balls are about to be served." ”

No, as soon as the words fell, the proprietress brought two bowls of rice balls to Yuan Lingchao He Zhishang, and introduced with a smile: "This is a rice ball made with an authentic recipe, to ensure that the filling is sweet and the soup is sweet, please use it slowly." ”

"Hey, thank you, hostess." Yuan Lingchao He Zhishang said in unison.

The proprietress smiled when she saw this, "You two really have a tacit understanding, just like a newlywed Yan'er's little couple." Although Yuan Lingchao dressed as a man, she put down her hair at this time and replaced it with a hairpin, and she looked like a woman.

In an instant, Yuan Lingchao's smile stopped inexplicably, on the other hand, He Zhishang was in a happy mood, but he still explained: "I have been friends with this woman for a long time, and we have a deep understanding of each other, and we are introduced as confidants. ”

In any case, Yuan Lingchao can understand He Zhishang's mind very well and fully cooperate with him.

He Zhishang and Yuan Lingchao are also mutual confidants, and He Zhishang understands what Yuan Lingchao wants to do and what he wants to say.

The proprietress didn't care, "Not now, it's in the future, I'm very optimistic about you." ”

The proprietress is old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and she speaks straightforwardly, but if she is someone else, she will have to blush and heartbeat.

Yuan Lingchao was a little uncomfortable, but his expression was calm and unmoved by the words of the boss's wife.

This self-cultivation is also secretly appreciated by He Zhishang: she is worthy of his greatest admiration, outstanding, rare in the world.

The proprietress put down the rice balls and left, He Zhishang took a bite of the rice balls, and his mouth was full of sweet and greasy taste, but it was not greasy at all, refreshing and soft.

"Come, you can eat rice balls." He Zhishang reminded Yuan Lingchao to eat the rice balls while they were hot.

Yuan Lingchao also scooped it with a spoon and was shocked by the beauty of the rice balls, "It's so delicious, this rice balls are different from what I used to eat." I used to think that the glutinous rice balls I ate were sweet, but now I eat them, which are sweet and glutinous. ”

"The proprietress here has been making rice balls for many years, and no one can learn her unique secret skills."

He Zhishang and the proprietress also had a few face-to-face meetings, but they were a little familiar, "In the early years, when her husband was still there, he was in charge of making glutinous rice balls, and later after he left, he did it himself." ”

The proprietress is refreshing and strong, her husband died early when she was young, and she took over the business of the tea stall and took over the glutinous rice ball business done by her husband.

Not to mention the fine clothes and food, at least the food and clothing are worry-free.

"The proprietress is very shrewd and capable, and the rice balls are delicious."

Yuan Lingchao quickly finished eating this bowl of rice balls, took a sip of tea, and was immediately refreshed.

As soon as my stomach was full, I was comfortable doing anything.

He Zhishang tasted the rice balls slowly and methodically, compared to Yuan Lingchao's big flowers, he called it a slow one.

Yuan Lingchao was puzzled, "Wei Fu, I saw that you ate very quickly before, why did you eat so slowly this time?" ”

"Ling Chao, I have a story, do you want to hear it?"

He Zhishang raised his head and stared at Yuan Lingchao.

Yuan Lingchao was shot by this gaze, and said bluntly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Anyway, she has nothing to do, what's so strange about listening to a few mouths of gossip?

"My father's surname is He, and my mother's surname is Shang, but I never know their real names, I just think that they are an honest peasant family, but they love each other, when I was born, they were very happy for my arrival, and named me Shang, which means the children of the He family and the merchants."

He Zhishang told the story and began to reminisce.

Yuan Lingchao suddenly realized that the name of He Zhishang came from this.

If you don't look at the later development, He Zhishang grew up in a loving family.

"My father and my mother only have one child, when I was a child, I heard my father say where is the capital, where is my home, sometimes teach me to read and write, although poor, but very satisfied, my father and mother are really literate and ink generation, have a great impact on my enlightenment."

He Zhishang has never been able to understand, what kind of people are his parents? His uncle and aunt were secretive and refused to tell him about his parents' past, as if they would rather he didn't understand.

In his previous life, he sent people to investigate, but all he learned was ordinary working people, ordinary peasants, and then he fell ill and died.

The parents of the prime minister who leaned towards the government and the opposition are just ordinary people, so they are ordinary people.

I didn't suspect it before, but now that He Zhishang thinks about it seriously, there may be something wrong.

Judging from the few words left by his parents, he doesn't look like the kind of ordinary people who have been farming for generations, after all, ordinary people can't even understand the direction of the capital, and his parents talk about it.

And when he was a child, he taught him to interpret the characters and explain the truth clearly, which is not justified at all.

- Do ordinary people have this insight?

He Zhishang was suspicious and decided to ask someone to investigate again, perhaps his parents were from unusual backgrounds, and even if his uncles and aunts didn't mention it, they could occasionally find out by looking at their expressions.

It's just that what I found out is not the truth, and it's just some things in the clouds.

What father and mother have read books and are happy to go to the ground, What father He has worked as a bookkeeper with a businessman and knows a lot, or his mother and mother are beautiful and broke off the relationship and eloped with Father He.

These legends are not extensive, but they can illustrate one thing - Father and Mother He had an extraordinary experience when they were young.

"Your father may be the son of a middle-of-the-road family."

He Zhishang is not good-looking, maybe his father and mother are from a very good background, generally only rich and noble families marry beautiful women, genetically improve, and give birth to handsome descendants, but in their generation, it will decline.

The declining fame, is this the background of his parents?

He Zhishang shook his head, "But I can't find the information of my grandparents Uncle and aunt refused to disclose it, saying that I should not ask." ”

If you don't want to say it, either it's because things are sensitive and it's useless to say more, or because the pain has passed and you don't want to expose your scars.

Yuan Lingchao thoughtfully, "What kind of person is your mother?" ”

"The conversation is good, the temperament is extraordinary, many people say that my father and mother are very good, and the people are also beautiful, but they are not ordinary people at first glance."

He Zhishang sighed, the things that the villagers who survived back then remembered were only that He Father and Mother were generous, with an elegant temperament, which was easy to make people feel good.

The same is true, after He Zhishang's parents died early, many villagers helped He Zhishang and helped He Zhishang, in order to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for his parents.

But more than that, they can't remember.

It's been too long, and they've forgotten it.

He Zhishang was not discouraged, and worked hard to collect clues and piece together the past of his parents.

"When my father brought my mother to his hometown, my mother was pregnant with me, and my uncle and aunt were surprised to learn that they had married and had children after my father and mother returned. They were never invited to the big wedding party, so my father and mother got married on their own. ”

He Zhishang was thinking, could it be that his parents eloped and got married?

The problem is that the uncle and aunt admit that his mother is married to Ming Media, not the kind of sneaky.

That can only be explained as - identity sensitivity.

"Do you have a lot of clues?" If you start from He Zhishang's mother's side, you may find out more.

Yuan Lingchao's words caused He Zhishang to sigh, "I have looked for it, but the result is very disappointing." My mother's surname was Shang, the daughter of a small family, she read poetry and books, and she was reasonable, but she was long dead, and it was impossible for her to marry my father, and the people there did not recognize a son-in-law with the surname He. ”

He Zhishang's mother, Mrs. Shang, has a very simple background, she is a small official's daughter, half of the upper class, but this kind of daughter's marriage contract is extraordinary, and the object she married is also the son of a scholarly family who is in the right household, and the two Qin Se and Ming, but they died not long after.

This kind of thing was placed in that family's house, which was originally a sad past, but now a grandson surnamed He suddenly appeared, and the family's rejection can be imagined.

"So, your mother isn't from the merchant?" Although it is a surname, it is not a family.

Yuan Lingchao just said this, and He Zhishang objected again and again, "No, it's their family, my mother is an upright merchant lady, but this merchant lady has already been removed because of elopement." ”

His guess became a reality, his mother fell in love with his father who was born in decline, and the two were happy, but the family objected, and after many times of resistance to no avail, He Zhishang's parents decided to leave here and go to the outside world.

They strive for love, in exchange for the angry removal of the merchants.

"My uncle and aunt accidentally got married, and I knew very early that my father liked my mother, and I didn't like it at first, but my mother just loved my father, loved me deeply, and couldn't extricate myself, and would rather give up the family than be with my father."

He Zhishang said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "At first, I thought it was just that they had something unspeakable, but now I speculate that it is estimated that they are not recognized feelings, and in the end they are all chicken feathers, and I don't want to say it." ”

He Zhishang's parents are deeply in love, and the sky does not follow people's wishes, so they let them leave early.

"Do you want to find grandparents?"

Yuan Lingchao asked.

According to He Zhishang's identity today, when he went to find his grandparents, it was also the other party who climbed him.

"It's not necessary at all, they're all dead, and it's useless to say it."

He Zhishang had a rare cold expression, "My mother is overworked and frugal, just for me, my father worked hard to earn the family, and he was reluctant to spend money to find a doctor when he was sick, didn't he just want me to be well?" I'm alive and well and living up to expectations, but what about them? Let's happily stay together on the other side of heaven and earth. ”

He Zhishang thought that his parents were in the spirit of heaven, and they were smiling at Jiuquan, and they could get together again.

Speaking of this, He Zhishang looked at Yuan Lingchao, "I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, my father and mother are deeply in love, but ...... They are not blessed, and they try to make a good life for the sake of their livelihood, and I think that when they can't do anything to give each other a better life, don't bother him. ”

This is also the reason why He Zhishang was lonely and old in his previous life, on the one hand, he didn't need it, he didn't want to do it, on the other hand, he was touched by his parents, he was busy with official business, he was not a more competent husband and father, it was better to let it go and live up to others.

Yuan Lingchao was silent.

He Zhishang said these words, it was catharsis, and it was also to tell him that he would not talk about love if his wish was not fulfilled.

"Weifu, your idea is right, it's just that your parents are together because of love after all, and they are forced to be helpless, you think, if you are a child that your parents don't want, won't you be miserable for a lifetime? Besides, do your parents regret doing this? Coarse clothes and light food, plain, not so much love, just like this, if it weren't for the providence of God who didn't want them to stay together, your parents must be very good now. ”

Yuan Lingchao said.

There is nothing wrong with free love, but the wrong thing is that this era does not seem to allow women to choose freely, and once they make a decision, they have to pay a huge price.

“……”

This time, He Zhishang was silent.

He Zhishang then said: "Your opinion is very different. ”

In other words, his grandparents and grandmothers have long been scolded for not being able to carry clearly, giving and receiving privately, and being willing to degenerate.

Is it best to follow their path?

He Zhishang thought about it and was empowered.

Why did he think about his grandparents? To put it mildly, the early death of parents also has their share of credit.

If they hadn't been rejecting their parents, they would have been able to live longer.

"Weifu, we ......"

Yuan Lingchao was about to say something more, but there was more excitement outside the tea stall.

"Help! Someone has killed someone! ”

A cry for help attracted Yuan Lingchao's attention.

Yuan Lingchao fixed his eyes and saw a group of unknown people surrounding a man who had fallen to the ground, holding a knife in his hand, as if he wanted to kill him.

Yuan Lingchao and He Zhishang glanced at each other - go and see.
