After deciding to choose a son-in-law for Qi Mingle, Qi Changhong sent an order to let people list young talents of appropriate age in Beijing. After Qi Mingzhao learned of this, he also recommended two candidates to Qi Changhong.

"These two people have heard a little about their father, so let's go back and let people investigate in detail first."

Qi Changhong was transferred back to Shangjing last year, and he didn't know much about the major families in Shangjing. After careful inquiry, I learned that many dignitaries in Shangjing looked glamorous on the surface, but they were filthy on the inside.

Qi Changhong was reluctant to let Qi Mingle marry into that kind of family, so he was cautious about the choice of son-in-law.

Seeing that Qi Changhong's father and son were discussing very hotly, Qi Mingle, who was sitting on the side, was dissatisfied: "Dad, since you are choosing a husband for me, why don't you ask my opinion?" ”

"Don't even think about choosing a son-in-law among the soldiers under my command." Qi Changhong directly cut off Qi Mingle's thoughts.

Qi Mingle immediately turned sideways and fought for himself: "Why can't you?" Dad, the people under your command know a lot about it! "And if she could pick one of them, she would be able to stay with them in Oak Tang Pass.

"For none of them will marry you." Qi Ming said coolly.

Qi Mingle immediately stood up and glared at Qi Mingzhao angrily: "You are not them, how do you know that they are not willing to marry me?" ”

"You've been in Litang Pass for so many years, has anyone ever asked your father to marry you?" Qi Mingzhao asked rhetorically.

"Nope." Qi Changhong answered immediately.

The two of them, father and son, sang and harmonized, and successfully left Qi Mingle in a hurry.

Yinsui lifted the curtain and came in, and saw Qi Mingle sitting in front of the makeup mirror sulking. Yinsui walked over and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm not ugly, why doesn't anyone want to marry me?" Qi Ming looked at Yinsui angrily. Although Qi Mingzhao's words before were very inadequate, her words were not rough, she had been in Litang for so many years, and it seemed that no one had asked to marry her.

"Because their eyes are smudged."

“！！！” Qi Mingle glared at Yinsui, "You can say it well." ”

Yinsui also heard that Qi Mingle wanted to choose a son-in-law among the soldiers under Qi Changhong. Seeing that Qi Mingle's face was a little better at this moment, she told Qi Mingle the truth: "Miss, you can see the moon all the time, but have you ever thought about taking the moon off and keeping it for yourself?" ”

"Didn't think about it." After answering, Qi Mingle retorted, "The moon should be hanging in the sky, why should I think about taking it off and keeping it for myself?" ”

"Yes, the officers and men in the army have the same idea as you."

Qi Mingle felt that Yin Sui seemed to have said something, but it didn't seem to have said anything. And because of Yinsui's words, when Qi Mingle saw the moon at night, his face was wrinkled.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" Qi Changhong's voice sounded from behind him.

Qi Mingle raised his eyes and saw Qi Changhong standing under the corridor, standing beside the housekeeper Uncle Kang. After seeing her, Qi Changhong motioned for Uncle Kang to retreat, and he himself beckoned to Qi Mingle.

Qi Mingle moved over slowly.

"Still angry with your father?" Qi Changhong asked.

Qi Mingle nodded, then shook his head again.

Qi Changhong was amused by her: "You are nodding and shaking your head again, are you angry or not angry?" ”

"I was angry before, but then I figured out that after you asked Yinsui to talk to me, I won't be angry."

"Why did I ask Silver Spike to tell you?" Qi Changhong asked with a smile.

"Yinsui has a big grinning temperament, and I would never have thought of words that sound simple, but are actually complicated."

Qi Changhong nodded appreciatively. After their father and daughter stood silently for a moment, Qi Changhong suddenly asked, "Do you know why I named you Mingle with your aunt?" ”

Regarding the origin of her name, Qi Changhong never told her.

"I wish you peace and joy in the morning and twilight." When he said this, a touch of sadness slipped through Qi Changhong's eyes, "It's a pity that your aunt went early." ”

When Qi Mingle's mother was about to give birth, she heard the news that Qi Changhong was seriously injured, and she had fetal gas due to worry, and finally died of dystocia.

Qi Mingle called in a low voice: "Dad." ”

Qi Changhong quickly wiped his face and quickly adjusted his emotions, then turned his head and continued with Qi Mingle: "Daddy is just your daughter under his knees, and Dad selfishly wants to marry you closer to Daddy." But the people under my father's command, my father knows in his heart, and there is no one who is suitable for you. And a woman's marriage is one of the most important things in life, and your father can't let you marry someone else in order to get you closer to your father. ”

"I understand. I'm actually just saying it on a whim, and I don't have to choose among the soldiers under your father's command. While speaking, Qi Mingle hugged Qi Changhong's arm, inadvertently revealing his daughter's coquettishness, "I just don't want to be separated from you, father." ”

Since Qi Mingle can remember, except for the first two years, she has been staying in Litang Pass and staying by Qi Changhong's side. Although Qi Changhong is very busy on weekdays and rarely has time to accompany her, Qi Mingle still feels very at ease.

If she marries in Shangjing, they will be far apart.

"Silly girl, even if you get married, you are still your father's daughter." Qi Changhong patted Qi Mingle's arm lovingly, and then asked tentatively, "Daddy has inquired about a lot of young talents in Beijing these days. Daddy looks, Zhang Yuanxiu, the current science detective, is both talented and beautiful, and has a warm and calm temperament, which can be a good match, do you want to see it? ”

The moon hung high in the sky, and the clear light spread on the world.

In the blend of moonlight and light, Qi Mingle saw the cautious temptation in Qi Changhong's eyes.

In the past, when he was in Litang Pass, Qi Changhong did not take off his armor all year round. But since returning to Beijing, except for entering the palace on duty, Qi Changhong has worn regular clothes in the house.

Tonight, Qi Changhong wore an ink-colored gauze robe, faded away from the coldness and severity in front of outsiders, and his expression was gentle and loving. He didn't make decisions for her directly, like ordinary elders, but was seriously asking her what she thought.

As soon as Qi Minglefu raised his eyes, he saw the frost on Qi Changhong's sideburns that he didn't know when. At this moment, Qi Mingle suddenly realized: In her memory, the father of the general, who was always tall and majestic, was quietly getting old.

She was his favorite daughter, but she couldn't keep him worried.

"Okay." Qi Mingle agreed.

Qi Changhong immediately stroked his palms and laughed: "Okay, good, daddy will find an opportunity as soon as possible to bring him back to the house and let you see him." ”
