Chapter 111: Running away from home
Pang Hu stayed in the room all day and didn't go out, he was very remorseful, knowing that he shouldn't have lingered in the casino and liquor store on weekdays, so that he made such a farce that couldn't go down the steps.
Now he doesn't know how to end it, and his father is a person who loves face very much, and regards the reputation of the family as his life, so how his father will explain it to everyone in the future, Pang Hu doesn't know.
The sky gradually darkened, and Pang Hu's mind was already half clear, lying quietly on the bed and pretending to sleep, but his mind could not be calm.
"I will definitely have no face to see people in the future, this time it is a big mess, I don't know what everyone will say about me in the future, how should I tell others? It seems that my father will not forgive me, now it's good, those people in the family who usually don't like me have found an excuse this time, how can I have a face to be a man in the future." ”
Pang Hu thought about it, closed his eyes and sighed silently, his mind was a mess, like a pot of boiling gruel, constantly churning.
Slowly, he calmed down, and a thought suddenly popped up: "Just run away from home, it's just like that, anyway, everyone doesn't know where I went in the future, and I don't have to explain anything to the Murong family anymore." ”
"I think that's it!
After much consideration, Pang Hu finally stood up, lit an oil lamp, wrote a few words on a piece of letterhead, and then began to pack his things.
He took out all the gold and silver from the drawer and some silver taels that he had usually accumulated, carefully put them in a waist bag, then he packed some change of clothes, stuffed them into a bag, carefully packed some household items, then blew out the oil lamp, and sneaked out of the room.
Pang Hu looked around, there was no one around, he secretly took out a horse, quietly slipped to the backyard, opened the back door and ran out into the street.
At this time, it was already late at night, and there was no one on the street, Pang Hu seemed to feel a sense of relief, took a deep breath, and then rode his horse along the bluestone road, and ran in the direction of leaving Yuxu Mountain.
Where Pang Hu plans to go, in fact, he does not have a fixed direction in his heart.
Now Pang Hu just wants to leave this place, where he has lost face, smeared his parents' faces, and is almost embarrassed in front of the people he wants.
He only knows that if he stays any longer, he will only be able to bow his head and be a man in the future, and he will even be pointed at behind his back.
Originally, he was the pride of the family, but now he has become the object of ridicule. Pang Hu can't bear such a result, he is an arrogant person, how can he endure the ridicule of others?
He made up his mind, tonight, when no one was around, to leave this gorgeous family and go to a place that only he knew, and from now on stay away from Yuxu Mountain and everyone here.
In the early morning of the next day, a servant ran to Master Pang's room out of breath, holding a letterhead in his hand, and shouted to Master Pang: "Master, something is wrong, the eldest young master has run away from home!"
Master Pang was drinking tea in the house, and when he heard the servant's panicked voice, he put down the tea bowl with a "snap": "What, what did you say, what did the eldest young master run away?"
The servant ran over, stretched out his hand to hand the letterhead to Master Pang, and then knelt down with a thud, panting for breath in his mouth, it seemed that he was in a hurry just now, and ran too fast.
Old Man Pang was anxious to take the letterhead and look at it carefully, almost in a hurry, he slammed the letterhead on the table, and shouted: "This unfilial son! Just a few words of scolding to do such a thing! What an untalented guy! Pang Hu is so ignorant! He is really angry!"
Then Master Pang stomped his feet anxiously and shouted: "Call the housekeeper! You should immediately find a few people to ride fast horses and chase me! No matter what, you must get Pang Hu back! This unfilial son really wants to make me angry to death!"
At this time, Mrs. Pang also came, read the letterhead, and listened to Master Pang's words, she was so anxious that tears flowed, and she hid her face and cried bitterly: "Hu'er, how can you do this! ”
Master Pang was anxious, sat down on the chair, covered his eyes with his hands and sighed.
Now it's good, Pang Hu ran away from home, how can those servants of the Pang family find Pang Hu in the vast sea of people? And they have no way of knowing which direction Pang Hu is going.
Pang Hu once again set off an uproar.
The Pang family was never able to calm down again.
A few days later, there was no news of Pang Hu in the Pang family, and everyone did not know the whereabouts of the eldest young master Pang Hu.
The Pang family's property was therefore handed over to the second young master Pang Bao to take care of, and Pang Hu disappeared in Yuxu Mountain since then, no one knew Pang Hu's whereabouts, and even his relatives and friends on weekdays did not have any news about him.
Others used to say that Pang Hu had lost face, but they didn't expect Pang Hu to run away from home, and they couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that Pang Hu was such a high-minded and arrogant person with a thin face like paper, and he actually did such a surprising thing for the sake of face.
Since then, almost no one has dared to mention Pang Hu in public, fearing that the people of the Pang family will be unhappy if they know about it, and many people will never mention this matter and are taboo.
Even the owner of the casino simply closed the casino because of the turmoil, and the family moved to another town to resume their old business.
After all, this matter is full of turmoil in the city, and the casino owner is worried that the Pang family is powerful and will find people from the government to take action, and then the disaster will not go alone, so after careful consideration, he simply started again.
At least he avoided the limelight for a while, and he didn't have to worry about sleeping.
As for the relationship between the Pang family and the Murong family, the Pang family was evasive, but because of the heavy gift before, they had to find the housekeeper to come forward in person, and took Master Pang's handwritten letter to the Yasukuni General's Mansion to apologize and withdraw in person.
As for the gifts that were sent, the housekeeper gave a euphemism, because the whereabouts of the eldest young master Pang Hu were unknown, and the original marriage proposal was over. In order to thank the second lady of the Murong family, Yu Xi, for coming to the rescue, so the original gift does not need to be returned, and it should be a thank you gift from the Pang family to the Murong family.
After the housekeeper cautiously expressed what Master Pang meant, General Murong looked surprised, he didn't expect Pang Hu to do such a thing, it was completely unexpected.
And the Pang family is such a heavy thank you gift, how can he be embarrassed to accept it?
But if he retreats like this, wouldn't that be disobedient to Master Pang's face? How can the gifts given be recovered, that would be too much to say.
After reading Master Pang's handwritten letter, General Murong thought about it again and again, and finally he asked the housekeeper to personally bring people to convert these gifts into gold and silver, and send them to the Pang family on a later date, saying that it was a condolence gift from the Murong family.
Although the in-laws can't get married, these money can be regarded as a piece of the Murong family's heart, and it is also a good way to comfort the Pang family's grief over the loss of the eldest young master.
In this way, the marriage between the Pang family and the Murong family came to an end because of Pang Hu's runaway.
