Chapter 23: Forced Marriage (3)
"Uncle Cheng, why don't you imitate grandma's handwriting, and then write a letter to Xiao Hai in grandma's voice, telling him that we will marry in three days. Hua Yingying pinched his chin and said, pinching his chin was a habit in his previous life, because he had a handful of beard on his chin in his previous life, and he pinched it every time he thought about a problem. Although I have been in this world for 12 years, this habit has been subconsciously preserved.
Hua Cheng nodded, and then said: "Will three days be too urgent? Tomorrow night, Chinese New Year's Eve, three days later, the New Year will just be over." ”
Hua Yingying said helplessly: "No way, we have to buy time." One more day, one more danger of leaking out the news of my father's death. And you have to hurry up and write it and send someone credible to send it. ”
"Well, okay. After Hua Cheng finished speaking, he left.
Three days later.
In the past few days, Hua Yingying has basically been by his mother Mengqi's side every day to protect his grandmother Liu. However, Liu's condition did not improve at all, sometimes he was awake, sometimes he was unconscious. These days, the affairs of the house have slowly been decided by Hua Yingying. Meng Qi saw that Hua Yingying was no longer as playful as before, and handled the affairs of Washington in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but feel relieved. Just thinking that he had to carry so much at such a young age, I felt distressed for a while.
Hua Yingying didn't know that Meng Qi would think so much, he was just waiting, he wanted to do a good job, he wanted to completely kill the idea of wanting to be a fool for a lifetime, he wanted to stand at the top of this empire!
In the morning, he said goodbye to everyone and rode out of the city with Hua Fu and Watson. The Guogong Mansion in the capital has a special stable, where there are many good horses, so Hua Yingying has long learned to ride horses. When he thought of horseback riding, he remembered that when he was a child, his father put him in his arms and rode wildly. It's a pity that there will never be such a time again.
Hua Yingying shook his head, raised his whip and slapped his horse away.
Outside the city, they joined the five thousand cavalry who had been assembled and waiting there. Leading the team is a commander under the city guard of Ichuan City, his name is Sima Ru, with a rugged face like all soldiers, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he is more fierce and powerful than ordinary soldiers, after all, he is a commander who can command thousands of people.
Sima Ru saw that the person who came over to command was such a small child, and the disdain on his face was very obvious. Hua Yingying didn't think about it either, thinking that it seems that what was said in TV and novels really makes sense, these big-headed soldiers will only go straight to the point, and what they think in their hearts will show on their faces.
Hua Yingying came to Sima Ru, and he just saluted very casually. Lord Cheng Shou just asked him to lead the troops here to wait for the dispatch of the Hua family, but he didn't expect that it was a child.
Hua Yingying shook his head and said, "I know that you see me as a child, and you think that listening to me will be unconvinced. I don't have so much time for you to obey me now, I just tell you that what I am going to do this time is very important, it is related to the rise and fall of my Hua family, and you must obey me unconditionally. If not, I will let you know my anger as the heir of the next generation of the Hua family!"
After Hua Yingying shouted at this group of big-headed soldiers, he reined in his horse and turned away. Hua Fu then followed, but before turning around, his eyes were sharp, and he glared at Sima Ru, and then calmly followed Hua Yingying.
Sima Ru came out in a cold sweat, and the feeling just now was as if he was on the battlefield, being targeted by an enemy with super martial arts, and he would take his life at any time. As a person who has fought on the battlefield, he can rarely be frightened by people's murderous aura. But it was the staring eyes of this person just now that actually made him feel scared
。 He knew that this person was not simple, and if he dared to disobey that child, he absolutely believed that that person would kill him without hesitation. What's more, the kid just said that he was the next heir of the Hua family, and with this identity, he couldn't offend himself.
Seeing that the two had left, Sima Ru hurriedly ordered to follow.
The cavalry of several thousand people, the horse's hooves kicked and trampled like thunder, slowly moving away.
The speed of the cavalry was still very fast, and they set off in the morning and arrived in Yuzhou in the afternoon. When they arrived in Yuzhou, they let people drape the red silk that had been prepared on the horse, and tie the red flower on the horse's head to prove that they were going to greet their relatives. In order to avoid trouble, Hua Yingying directly led people around the city and went straight to Yuzhou City-Yuzhou City.
In Yuzhou City, Xiao Hai is entangled. Since he received a letter from the old lady of the Hua family Liu three days ago, he has been struggling. Because he had heard before that Li Chun and his party wanted to harm Hua Mohan, and the last time Qin sent over, he was still wondering if Qin Cha was going to ask for the crime, and by the way, Hua Mohan was escorted back to Beijing for review.
As a result, these days have passed, not only has there been no news that Hua Mohan was killed, but even when Qin Cha left. And now the Hua family says that Hua Mohan is seriously ill and needs to be happy. Alas, I blamed myself for drinking too much at the time, and I didn't understand the situation, thinking that Hua Mohan was just temporarily demoted, and sooner or later he would go up.
Who knows that he has completely lost power, and now he is seriously ill, if he can't afford to get sick, then the Hua family probably has no hope. I thought I could rely on this big tree, so I drank too much and decided on this family business, which is really regretful.
Xiao Hai stroked his forehead, the person who went out to inquire about the news just now reported that there was still no news about Hua Mohan being questioned or killed. The news of the Qincha is there, but this Qincha is very strange, he goes back to Beijing alone, and he always goes around the city, as if he has something urgent to go back to report.
"My lord, there was news just now that the Hua family's welcoming team has entered the territory of Yuzhou. A servant-like man entered the study and said.
"Oh, so fast?" Xiao Hai was shocked, the Hua family's welcoming team arrived in Yuzhou so quickly, and he thought that they would not arrive until tomorrow on horseback.
"Well, the news said that the little grandfather of the Hua family personally led the team and ordered 5,000 cavalry guards to come over to greet him. ”
"What?5,000 cavalry?What are you doing with so many cavalry?" Xiao Hai was taken aback, just to greet his relatives, a few hundred guards were almost enough, and he actually brought 5,000 to come, what did the Hua family want to do?
"According to people who have been in contact with the welcoming team, the Hua family said that there have been barbarians in Enshi Prefecture recently, and in order to prevent the little grandfather or little lady from being injured by the news when greeting relatives, so they stayed so many guards. ”
Xiao Hai thought for a while and sighed, "Forget it, I know." It seems that this Hua family is bound to win, first use the letter of the old lady of the Hua family to soften, these thousands of cavalry are hard. Soft and hard, if I don't agree, I will offend his Hua family. ”
Xiao Hai said helplessly, and he could only accept it helplessly. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Hua family is now losing power, but the Hua family, as the prince of the empire, has stood in the empire for hundreds of years, and it is not something that a small Yuzhou town guard can easily offend. What's more, Yuzhou and Enshi are so close to each other, if you offend the Hua family, you will have to be controlled by others for many things.
shook his head, anyway, he had already agreed to this family business, so don't go back.
waved his hand and ordered: "Go down, inform the house to prepare for the marriage of the young lady." ”
The servant bowed down and exited the study, but at the corner of the study, a girl secretly showed her little head, which was Xiao Xue who Hua Ying had seen last time. It's just that unlike the dignified appearance she was introduced by her father last time, this girl now looks obviously very mischievous and playful.
After a while, a pair of black eyes gurgled around several times, and I didn't know what bad idea I was playing. Standing in the corner eavesdropping on Xiao Hai's conversation, his little feet were still kicking there, looking particularly restless.
"Hmph, then the little grandfather of the country's grandfather's family, that stupid stupid boy still wants to marry me. Wait for me to get married, and see how I clean you up. ”
After Xiao Xue finished talking to herself, she thought of Xiao Hai's usual teachings, what is dignified and elegant, what is quiet and gentle, she can't help but stand up immediately, secretly glance at Xiao Hai's study, and see that she was not discovered, so she left in small steps.
