Chapter 1 The hot potato

Next Chapter

The hottest potato in the capital was thrown into the backyard of the He family, and the room was in an uproar. At that time, He Shaoguang was quietly decorating an almond dew with starry osmanthus flowers.

Since the funeral at the beginning of the year, the Lu family has been rumored to re-look at the school-age girl in the second room and choose a good match.

He Changjie hurriedly pushed the door in, but he frightened the sleepy little maid under the porch.

"Shaoguang, the second room of the Lu family has come to propose, but don't be afraid, my father will not agree to anything I say!" He Changjie clenched his fists, with an awe-inspiring and tragic expression. Afraid of bumping into his own sister-in-law, he paced back and forth in the room.

"The second brother came by coincidence, sit down and taste the almond syrup I just grinded, add yams, lilies and white fungus, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach." He Shaoguang smiled at him, pushed the bowl forward, and motioned for Zhijun to step forward to serve He Changjie.

He Changjie couldn't see the slow son the most, and waved his hand anxiously: "What else to drink?!" You don't panic at all, but I'm like a monkey, I can't sit still! ”

"Didn't you tell me not to be afraid?" He Shaoguang was inexplicable.

He Changjie was dumbfounded, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

"Since the second brother doesn't like to drink this almond syrup, then Zhijun will drink it for him. Oops, for this little bowl, Zhijun's wrists and I are so sore that they are about to break. ”

Zhijun quickly thanked the reward when he heard this, and took it very consciously, and seemed to feel sorry for He Changjie unintentionally: "It's a pity that the second young master can't drink the almond juice that our girl grinds by herself, and the osmanthus nectar brewed last year is still added..."

"Who says I don't drink?" He Changjie couldn't hold his breath the most, and after being provoked, he didn't want to compete with the girl's family for a cup of sugar water, so he asked Zhijun with a tiger face: "Is there anything extra to prepare?" ”

Zhijun couldn't help but smile and went to the small kitchen to relight a new one for He Changjie.

There were only two brothers and sisters left in the house, and He Shaoguang saw that He Changjie still looked awkward, and took the initiative to clear his throat:

"The second brother loves Shaoguang the most, and today I am anxious about this matter, Shaoguang knows it in his heart."

"Sister, second brother...", He Changjie sighed again, "Speaking from the heart, Lu Er is a good person and a good general." The second brother had a few dealings with him in the Xishan camp, but it's a pity... The situation at home is too complicated! Otherwise, otherwise, if he Lu Xiaowen came to propose marriage, the second brother would not object. ”

"Shaoguang understands," He Shaoguang sighed faintly, "It is also a loss that his wife died young, leaving behind a child." Otherwise, how do such people look at us? ”

The Lu family is hereditary, and the title is vacant after the old prince goes, and he chooses one of the three sons of the Lu family to inherit. Lu Xiaowen, the second room, as a young general, has broken the Qiang army several times, which is hot.

Even if Lu Xiaowen has a deceased wife from a high-ranking family and leaves a pair of children, now that the boy is enlightened, he is only twenty-five or sixteen, which is just right.

In such a situation...... found the He family, to be honest, it was He Shaoguang who climbed high.

He Jingsong is just a book cultivator from the Hanlin Academy. The old man of the He family, the Tanhualang of the year, was still at the tail of the crane in the Liupin civil official for half his life, and he was promoted step by step in the same year, how can this not be embarrassing?

When He Shaoguang hadn't fully accepted the memory of the original owner, he thought there was some royal secret in it...... In fact, my father was too upright, and once he said ruthlessly in the main hall, and he was sent by the official to go to the Hanlin Academy to repair idle books. After so many years, I don't know if I'm out of breath today?

Zhijun also came back with the kung fu of these two sentences, holding the almond dew that He Changjie had in mind, as well as a stack of spring rolls fried this morning, and the filling was also the diced mushroom bamboo shoots stuffed by He Shaoguang himself.

When He Changjie saw the delicate and lovely spring rolls, he couldn't help but feel empty in his stomach.

In one bite, the spring rolls are crispy on the outside and salty and fragrant on the inside. With the steaming almond juice sliding down his throat, the sweet taste also soothed his restless heart.

"Second brother, put your heart in your stomach, my father and mother naturally have their ideas, and we can't afford to provoke such people." He Shaoguang said with relief, and two shallow pear vortices came out of the corners of his mouth.

Finally sent this away, Zhijun came in and gently pressed He Shaoguang's arm.

"The girl seems to be much calmer, and she has become more and more like a young master." Zhijun said with a smile, when there was no one else, the two of them gossiped a lot more relaxed.

"If the eldest brother is at home, I'm afraid he won't wait for people to go back and drag people into the alley and beat them?"

Speaking of He Changfeng, He Shaoguang was also smiling. It's a pity that now the eldest brother is studying abroad, and there is no such excitement.

It was unexpected, the He family and the matchmaker who proposed marriage said that they would think about it, and after the matchmaker went back, Master He and his wife discussed it behind closed doors for several days, and they were mysterious.

A few days later, there was a letter from He Changfeng's family, with only a few words on it: "I will arrive home in ten days." ”

Of course, He Shaoguang didn't know about this, she teased cats and birds in her small yard, tinkered with food, and didn't care about these.

So when the bearded Brother He appeared in Fangfeiyuan, He Shaoguang was about to pop out his eyes.

"Big... Big brother? ”

Although He Changfeng had not bathed for several days in a row, although a cyan stubble appeared on his chin, although the eldest brother who had always been self-disciplined looked haggard at the moment...

But this did not affect He Changfeng to stand tall and straight, and when he squinted at He Shaoguang with his eyes, He Shaoguang had a little weakness for a long time.

But, she doesn't seem to have done anything bad?

Thinking of this, He Shaoguang boldly responded to He Changfeng's gaze: "Why doesn't the eldest brother say anything to Shaoguang when he goes home?" It's better to be a younger sister and wash the dust for the eldest brother, ahaha..."

Speaking of the back, her voice was quiet again, and she remembered that after the last training, she specially stewed a "tonic soup" for He Changfeng, who stayed up late to warm his books, that night. He Changfeng drank it and did not frown, and only let her stand in the courtyard for two hours with a salt jar.

"Come with me." He Changfeng threw down this sentence and strode away.

He had a very large gait, probably a man with long legs. He Shaoguang didn't know why, so he had to take small steps to keep up. Seeing that He Shaoguang was struggling to walk, He Changfeng still slowed down.

It turned out that she was brought to the main courtyard, He Jingsong and Hai were already waiting in the back room, and their faces were not very good, but they did not see anger.

"Father, mother." He Shaoguang saluted obediently, and He Changfeng also nodded.

Hai's was a little excited when he saw He Shaoguang today, his eyes were red, and He Jingsong patted the back of his wife's hand when he saw this, expressing comfort.

"Shaoguang..."He Jingsong spoke, "You know the Lu family, right?" ”

He Shaoguang was stunned, why is this for this? Haven't you refused?

"My daughter knows." He Shaoguang replied, thought about it and added, "The situation of the Lu family, as well as the matter of proposing marriage a few days ago, my daughter knows about it." ”

"Since you know, I'll tell you about my family's plans." He Changfeng was really tired, and he sat on the stool and pinched his eyebrows from time to time.

"If you don't have any opinions, my father will go back to the matchmaker in two days, and you should do this family business."

"Huh??" He Shaoguang didn't react at all.

It may be that He Shaoguang was too surprised, afraid that she would be sad, and the Hai family hurriedly explained to her: "Actually, your father decided to directly reject this family business at the beginning, and we are not a family that is afraid of power. ”

Seeing her nodding, Hai continued: "This idea was actually made by me. Shaoguang... My mother didn't tell you, and she never told anyone else..."
