Chapter 128: A Real Man
Chapter 128 Real Man
As if afraid that Hu Wei would get lost, Hong and Ximen Yufeng left and right, sandwiching Hu Wei in the middle. Of course, Hu Wei will not have any opinion on this. It should be said that as long as it is a man, he will not have any opinion on such treatment.
Hong and Ximen Yufeng were chatting about some things about their daughter's family across Hu Wei, and they didn't know what they thought, but they didn't shy away from Hu Wei at all. Hu Wei is so cheeky, of course, he doesn't feel embarrassed. It's just that he has little interest in that. These two women are talking about their time, and Hu Wei has not participated in their childhood, so he doesn't understand well, so he doesn't bother to listen.
Fortunately, the scenery in this house is good, Hu Wei is aiming at it, and it is quite complacent. As he walked, Hu Wei had a problem. The layout of this house seems to be different from the normal structure. How to say it, I feel that the layout of this house is all reversed. For example, in a suite, the entrance should be a hall, but here it is a kitchen or something.
After carefully observing for a while, Hu Wei confirmed his judgment, so he couldn't help but ask the two girls. After being laughed by the two women, Hu Wei realized that the place he had just entered was the back door.
"The Maragobi are really getting more and more stupid, and they don't even see such a simple question. Hu Wei scolded himself in his heart. Being laughed at by Hong and Ximen Yufeng, he didn't care, what he cared about was that he had always thought that he had seen the six roads, but he didn't show up, when he entered the door just now, there was no name plaque on the door.
In fact, speaking of which, this is not to blame Hu Wei, firstly, he is not so familiar with this Tianfeng Continent, and secondly, the back door of the Hong family is also too big, almost the same as the main gate of Fengyuan, Hu Wei can't see that it is the back door, and there is nothing strange.
Turning a corner, Red led Ximen Yufeng and Hu Wei into a courtyard full of tulips. There are so many tulips here, yellow, red, pink, purple, monochrome, bordered, all of which are beautiful. In particular, one of the tallest and largest tulips, its black petals, black and soft, like a beauty's show, exude bursts of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
Lanling wine tulips, jade bowls with amber light.
But that the master may be drunk, and he will not know where it is.
The fragrance of flowers in the garden, coupled with the jade-like beauties around him, really made Hu Wei almost forget where he was.
"It's so beautiful, am I still in the world?" Hu Wei couldn't help but lean towards Hong.
"Don't take the opportunity to eat tofu. Ximen Yufeng pulled Hu Wei's ears and let his treacherous plan not be punished.
"I'm just expressing my feelings. Hu Wei said with a look of resentment.
Ximen Yufeng glared and said: "Don't think I don't know those ninety-nines in your heart, sue you, you give me honesty today." For a while, you are not allowed to go around attracting bees and butterflies. ”
"Oh. Huh?" Hu Wei suddenly appeared in Ximen Yufeng's words, here are the two women, she and Hong, where did the butterfly come from.
"Sister Yu, what kind of bees provoke butterflies, why can't I understand your words?" Hu Wei asked with a puzzled face: "Will there be a lot of butterflies here in a while?"
"Yufeng didn't sue you?" Hong looked at Hu Wei strangely.
"Sue me for something. Is there anything I should know?" Hu Wei looked at Ximen Yufeng, and then at Hong. Before, he thought that Ximen Yufeng brought him to Hong, but it was just a gathering of friends. But now, judging from what they said and their expressions, it didn't seem to be like this.
Ximen Yufeng glanced at Hu Wei, put on a sister's posture and said, "What do you see me doing, I want to know to ask Hong." ”
I don't know why, Ximen Yufeng's heart has an indescribable irritability, every time she looks at the rock sugar gourd on her red hand, her irritability is even more.
Hong is not like Ximen Yufeng who snorted at Hu Wei, she said with a wisp of grace: "Tonight, there is a drinking party in the house. I thought you might like it, so I asked Yufeng to bring you. ”
Hong's voice was very soft, and the eyes that looked at Hu Wei were about to drip water. This time, she said that she was accompanying Hu Wei back to the imperial capital, but along the way, she was pulled by Ximen Yufeng, and she didn't have much chance with Ben, so she was alone with Hu Wei. After arriving in the imperial capital, Hu Wei, like other generals, was arranged to live in the palace, and she was taken back to the palace by her father, and she had no chance to meet Hu Wei.
When Ximen Yufeng agreed to bring Hu Wei to the drinking party, Hong didn't know how happy she was. Not only was he busy with the application of the reception, but he also secretly prepared a dress for Hu Wei. In order to meet Hu Wei earlier, she also told Ximen Yufeng many times that she would come earlier, the reason was to let Ximen Yufeng come here in advance to change her dress, in fact, she was so that she could see Hu Wei more.
"Drinking party?" a smile appeared on Hu Wei's face, he had never attended a noble drinking party.
"Hmm. Hong nodded, she was afraid that Hu Wei would not like it before, but now that Hu Wei smiled, she was relieved.
"What kind of drinking party?" asked Hu Wei. It's always better to know a little bit more about everything. Don't be stunned and don't know anything.
"I'll explain it to you. Ximen Yufeng preempted the red and spoke. She felt that she had been too fierce with Hu Wei just now, and decided to ease the atmosphere.
After listening to Ximen Yufeng's explanation, Hu Wei realized that tonight, there was a tulip drinking party in the Red Mansion. In the circle of the imperial aristocracy, countless drinking parties were held every year, which was a good way to show the strength of the family.
The most grand of these is, of course, the New Year's reception hosted by the royal family. And second only to the royal cocktail party, there are more than ten special cocktail parties, which are also very much expected by the major nobles. The Tulip Wine Party in the Red Mansion is the one with the highest number of special wine colors.
One of the characteristics of the special cocktail party is that it is unique, except for the family that holds it, other families can't do it even if they have money.
For example, this tulip wine party in the Red Mansion can only be held by the Red Mansion, because the Red Mansion has a set of family secret methods that can make tulips into fine wine, which other families can't do.
"Tulip wine, this is the first time I've heard of this, Sister Hong, why don't you get some for me to taste first?" Hu Wei's master is a drunkard, and Hu Wei has naturally become an alcoholic since he followed his master. He is not bad at wine, but he has a special preference for fine wine, and he is naturally very interested in hearing that the unique tulip wine of the Red Mansion can make the nobles of the entire imperial capital look forward to it infinitely.
"Don't worry, you'll drink it later, it's almost time now, we have to change dresses with Hong first. Ximen Yufeng touched Hu Wei's head affectionately and said.
Hu Wei has long been accustomed to the constant transformation of Ximen Yufeng's savage sister for a while, and a tender sister for a while. The red on one side was a little staring.
Hu Wei recognized Ximen Yufeng as his sister, and Hong knew it. However, she didn't expect that Ximen Yufeng could be so good to Hu Wei that she would be so close to Hu Wei in front of her.
"Do you want to change your dress?" said Hu Wei with some unhappiness, he likes to be casual by nature, and he doesn't like the way of dressing that even the buttons have to be buttoned to the first few pieces.
"Of course, you have to wear a dress for the reception. Ximen Yufeng said softly. At this point, she is very similar to Hu Wei, and she doesn't like to wear dresses. She wasn't disgusted by the rules, she wasn't used to the dress that showed a lot of flesh. She is used to wearing armor, and she always feels insecure when she wears a dress that is similar to what she doesn't wear.
It is precisely because of this that Ximen Yufeng came to Hong's house and changed her dress.
"But do we have dresses?" asked Hu Wei. When he and Ximen Yufeng went out, they were empty-handed. Although there are clothes in the ring, there is absolutely no such thing as a dress.
Ximen Yufeng replied: "My dress has been sent by Erfeng before, and yours, you have to ask Hong." ”
The relationship between Hong and Hu Wei is semi-public, even if Ximen Yufeng didn't know it at first, he knows it very clearly now. Regarding the matter of red and Hu Wei, Ximen Yufeng was very entangled. On the one hand, she is happy for Hong as a good friend of Hong, because in her opinion, Hu Wei is a very good man. On the other hand, from the perspective of Hu Wei's sister, she doesn't want to be red and Hu Wei, because Hong's identity will affect Hu Wei's future exhibition. And standing in the identity of a woman, she didn't dare to think about it.
After the efforts of the two women, Hu Wei finally got this luxurious and cumbersome dress on his body. The complexity of putting on and taking off this kind of clothes, Hu Wei feels a headache when he thinks about it.
Hu Wei said that he would not fight anything, even if Hong said that this was the etiquette of the drinking party, Hu Wei did not want to be made white-faced.
In this regard, Hu Wei is an absolute big man, and in his opinion, grease and powder is a woman's business, and he has nothing to do with him.
Exaggerated sleeves, belts, angled shoes...... Hu Wei felt like an ugly person. But this is not the most unhappy place for him, what he is most unhappy about is that Hong and Ximen Yufeng changed clothes, but they drove him out. This is so unfair, when he changed his clothes just now, he didn't let Hong and Ximen Yufeng go out.
Of course, he couldn't tell them to go out, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wear this garment until he died.
It was getting dark, and Hu Wei sat alone among the tulips, looking a little bored, and his eyes glanced over the tightly closed door from time to time.
If it was in Fengyuan, Hu Wei would definitely be lying on the door now, doing something that is not so popular. If you don't get it, you will exchange some experiences with your fellow Fu Bo. But in the Red Mansion, Hu Wei would not do that. Some things are done, and some things can't be done.
Fengyuan is Ximen Yufeng's territory, Hu Wei is messing around there, there is some coquettishness, that can impose the relationship between him and Ximen Yufeng, and Ximen Yufeng will not blame him. Here, it is a completely different result, which will make Ximen Yufeng and him become the topic of other people's conversations, which Hu Wei knows very well.
Hu Wei was bored looking at those delicate tulips, and suddenly became alert to someone watching him. Looking at the past along the way, a tall middle-aged man appeared at the courtyard gate.
"Is it him?" Hu Wei recognized the middle-aged man at a glance. This middle-aged man has seen Hu Wei, when he saw Valencia that day, it was he who proposed to add color to the arrow, which made Valencia say that he would be named the first place in the arrow competition.
The middle-aged man saw that Hu Wei had seen him, not only did he not leave, but walked into the courtyard and walked straight towards Hu Wei.
Hu Wei got up and waited for the middle-aged man to approach. Although he didn't inquire about the identity of this middle-aged man that day, at this time, he had already vaguely guessed who this man was.
This courtyard is where Hong lived before he got married, and it belongs to the inner courtyard of the Red Mansion, and it is not a close person, so it is generally not allowed to come here. This middle-aged man, not only came in, but also very naturally and casually, it was not so difficult to guess his identity.
Yes, this middle-aged man is Hong's father, who belongs to the Imperial Capital of the Royal Cavalry Regiment and guards Red Fangzheng.
"The last general has seen the red general. Without waiting for the red square to completely approach, Hu Wei took the first step to salute. The official position of the red square is the city guard, although Hu Wei is not a legion with him, but this gift is still unavoidable.
"Hmm. Hong Fangzheng nodded his head, but there was no expression on his face. Not angry, but not necessarily happy.
After Hu Wei finished his salute, he took a step back and stood, he knew that the red square was watching him, and he was also observing the red square square. There is nothing to describe the collision of powerful pressures. Hu Hong and the two looked at each other calmly.
After a long time, Hong Fangzheng spoke: "I have read your information, you have some skills. From enlistment to the present, in less than two years, you can be promoted from a recruit to a general, although there are many factors of luck here, but I have to say, you are a very powerful person. ”
Hu Wei listened quietly to Zai Hongfangzheng's speech, his face was not angry or happy, calm and natural.
Red Fangzheng continued: "I don't like you though"
Hu Wei's eyebrows raised, but he didn't answer, he knew that Hong Fangzheng had something to say behind him.
Red Fangzheng asked himself: "Do you know why I don't like you?
Hu Wei smiled when he heard this. He didn't think that Red Fangzheng was scolding him. The general uses it to plan, and those who have no scheming have what qualifications they have as generals.
"You seem to be very proud?" "Red Fangzheng looked at Hu Wei with some brains.
Hu Wei replied with a smile on his face: "I should be gratified." ”
"Relieved?" said Red Fangzheng, with some unexpected and worrying words.
Hu Wei nodded and said, "Yes." Shouldn't I be glad that life is hard to know?"
Hong Fangzheng still said expressionlessly: "No wonder Hong likes you, you are indeed very good at talking." ”
Hu Wei smiled happily and said, "Don't you like me?"
Hong Fangzheng said: "I said, I don't like you. ”
Hu Wei looked at the red square eyes, shook his head, and said confidently: "No, you like me." If not, you will not fight for my benefit in front of His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Hong Fangzheng snorted coldly and said, "Do you think that the title of the Arrow God, I helped you get it?"
"At least not for Zilawi. Hu Wei put the grass in his hand and chewed it. He seems to have been an old friend of the emperor for many years, rather than his father, who was the city guard of the imperial capital.
"Hahaha, interesting. Hong Fangzheng laughed a few times, and his voice turned cold: "Do you think that if you say that, I will have a good impression of you?" Young man, has anyone ever sued you, people who are too smart generally don't live long. ”
Hu Wei shook his head and said, "I never want such boring questions. Whether I can live long or not is not so important to me, what matters is the quality of life, what I have gained and what I have lost.
A turtle lives for a thousand years, but it is better for a person to live for a lifetime. It is better to live than to die. ”
Hong Fangzheng said: "So, you are very ambitious, what is your ideal?"
Hu Wei pointed to the heavens: "It's big, you can think about it, but you can't say it." ”
A trace of unknown emotion flashed in Hong Fangzheng's eyes, and he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and then fell silent again. He seemed to have guessed the meaning of Hu Wei's words, or maybe he knew what Hu Wei wanted.
After a while, Red Fangzheng let out a long breath, and the whole person seemed to relax. sat down on the stone chair in the garden, pointed to another chair opposite, and motioned for Hu Wei to sit too.
Hu Wei walked over and chose to sit on the stone chair where Red Fangzheng was working, and sat directly opposite him without doing what Red Fangzheng meant.
Red Fang was watching Hu Wei's every move and didn't say anything. It wasn't until Hu Wei sat down that he said, "Red is my only daughter, what are you going to do to her." ”
The confidence in Hu Wei's eyes turned into a faint sadness, and he whispered: "In my life, I am destined to be sorry for some people, hurt some people, and owe some people." I can say a lot of beautiful things, and I can draw a big, big pie, but I don't want to lie to you.
I believe that whether it is you or Red, you know that I can't give something like a red name. ”
Hong Fangzheng said: "Do you know, I really want to beat you up now"
Hu Wei smiled and said, "You won't." ”
Hong Fangzheng snorted: "Why, I can't find a reason to convince myself not to beat you?"
Hu Wei glanced at the still closed door and said, "Because you are the same person as me." ”
It wasn't until Hong Fangzheng walked away that Hu Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the conversation with Hong Fangzheng just now, he looked confident and powerful on the surface, but in fact, his heart was up and down, and there was no bottom in his heart.
Put yourself in her shoes, Hu Wei thought that if he was Hong's father, someone would treat his daughter like this, so he didn't care so much, and he would beat him first.
There is no man in the world who is a father and likes his daughter. Because it was the man who snatched his most cherished treasure from his hands. Not to mention people like Hu Wei, who steal people's hearts, but don't give them fame, it's really not enough to relieve their anger if they cut it with a knife.
The reason why Hu Wei dared to say such things to Hong Fangzheng was because he had calculated that Red Fangzheng was not like a scoundrel like him. Red Fangzheng is a real man.
A true man will only move forward bravely for the beliefs in his heart, and will not be bound by the love of his children.
