Chapter 8: The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix
He Zhuowu cleaned up his mood, pushed the door in, and put on a hippie smile that pretended to be surprised.
"Huh?!Sister Sisi, how did you know I was here?"
Ji Sisi took the wine cup and plate to set the table, and said lightly: "Apart from you, who else will give me this Tianweixuan's soy fish head?
"I'll just say that my sister's nose is so tight that it deserves the world's food!"
He Zhuowu said as he helped to plate the fish head.
Ji Sisi glanced at him and said: "Just your mouth will make my sister happy, and smelling it can make you praise like this!"
He Zhuowu said seriously: "How can I tell the truth!"
Ji Sisi smiled: "Okay, don't be poor! Sister is happy today, and I will drink a few cups with my sister." ”
If he wanted to put aside the usual, He Zhuowu must have laughed and asked Ji Sisi why he was so happy, but just after listening to Ji Sisi's words, he knew that she was talking the opposite, so he didn't answer, just sat down obediently.
He knew in his heart that since his brother Zhuo Wen entered the Taishi Mansion, what could make her really happy?
Although he has tried his best to make Sisi happy for so many years, all he has done is to make her temporarily let go of the sadness in her heart, and it is impossible to make her forget.
Drinking, He Zhuowu is a veritable massive, he has never tasted drunkenness, and he doesn't need to make his brother He Zhuowen sweat, and even at first it was very strange to see others drunk!
However, this also greatly reduced his interest in drinking, and he rarely drinks except for accompanying Ji Sisi on weekdays.
Ji Sisi also has some alcohol, but today's wine style seems to be too bold.
Usually, He Zhuowu drank it all, and she only took a shallow sip.
At this time, the wine was actually dry, and the fish head didn't take a sip, and the wine had already been drunk three times.
He Zhuowu wanted to stop but didn't know what to say, so he could only help drink a few more drinks.
When the wine ran out in the cup, Ji Sisi was going to fetch the wine, He Zhuowu hurriedly got up and held her down, saying that he would go, and put some fish brains into the Sisi bowl for her to eat.
When He Zhuowu came back from taking wine, Sisi had already lit the red candle on the table.
The windows of the room were still open, the breeze was blowing in from time to time, and the candles were flickering softly.
Sisi held the empty cup in his left hand, lightly supported his flushed cheeks with his right hand, looked at the direction where the wind was coming, and occasionally slowly blinked the slightly drunken beautiful eyes under the long eyelashes, and the whole person was much quieter than just now.
He Zhuowu didn't want to break this silence, so he sat back gently and quietly admired the beautiful picture in front of him.
Looking at the beautiful sister in front of him, He Zhuowu couldn't help but be intoxicated, his cheeks were a little hot, and he wondered in his heart: "Is this what it feels like to be drunk?"
Ji Sisi turned his head and looked at Zhuo Wu, Zhuo Wu did not dodge, and responded with a warm and smiling gaze.
"Xiao Wu, do you like my sister?" Sisi asked suddenly.
He Zhuowu was stunned, but at the same time nodded subconsciously, feeling inexplicably nervous.
He didn't doubt his liking for Sisi, he just wanted to ask first, which kind of liking was it?
Is Sisi the kind of big brother that is? But he really can't ask at this time, not to mention that he can't tell the difference himself.
A hairy boy who has just passed twenty has never experienced anything, can he understand what things between men and women?
Ji Sisi said again: "On the day I learned that your eldest brother was going to get married, I cried all night and you stayed with me all night, do you remember what you said to me that night?"
He Zhuowu still nodded.
"Remember, I said...... Big brother won't marry you, I'll marry you!"
"At that time, you were still young, and my sister was moved when she said this, but she couldn't take it seriously. ”
Ji Sisi lowered his head, bit his lip, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Your kindness to my sister over the years is in my sister's heart, but I want to ask, is your words okay now?"
He Zhuowu's heart was a little confused, and he didn't know whether he was happy, excited, or panicked.
He Zhuowen was only eleven years old when he got married, and he said that out of innate righteousness, as for whether Sisi has a love between men and women now, he himself is not very sure!
But Sisi has already said this, he is a casual person, he is not used to thinking about it, so he said: "If my sister really wants to marry, it is the blessing of Zhuo Wu's three lives, how can there be any reason not to marry?"
Ji Sisi burst into tears, threw herself into Zhuo Wu's generous arms, and sobbed and said: "My sister was bored ten years ago, but I don't know that God has arranged the best destination for me, and being able to marry you is my sister's greatest blessing!"
The two snuggled up for a while, Ji Sisi's mood gradually calmed down, but a trace of worry suddenly appeared between his eyebrows.
"What if your father and mother don't approve of our marriage?"
"Don't agree? Marriage is a matter for the two of us, even if they don't agree, what can we do? It's a big deal that we live a free life since we go!"
Ji Sisi shook his head solemnly!
"Xiao Wu, although my sister is from a poor background, she knows how to be bookish and etiquette, if I can't marry into your family, I'd rather never marry!"
He Zhuowu hurriedly said: "Sister, don't say such bad things, my father and mother are not pedantic people, and I have always been generous to others, I will say that they will be perfect, sister can rest assured!"
Ji Sisi nodded, still looking a little worried.
"Oops!" He Zhuowu patted his head, "I forgot that my father has something to see me today, and let me go back early! ”
"Well, I'll wait for you!"
He Zhuowu urged the horse all the way home, and as soon as he entered the house, a middle-aged man greeted him.
The person who came was about forty years old and less than fifty, dressed in a short suit, with a medium stature and a little thin, but his steps were calm and vigorous, but a scar on his left forehead through the bridge of his nose to his right eye made his originally extremely handsome facial features look a little hideous!
This person's surname is Du Mingchong, and his identity in Hefu is a little complicated, he is not only He Jingting's personal guard, but also the head of Hefu's nursing home, and at the same time he is the master of the He brothers.
It's just that for some reason, Du Chong refused to be called a master and apprentice with the He brothers, and let the brothers only call it a teacher.
Du Chong patted He Zhuowu's shoulder and said, "Wu'er, you are finally back, the master has been waiting for you for some time." ”
"Do you know what my father is looking for me?"
Du Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it doesn't mean a bad thing." ”
He Zhuowu nodded and smiled: "That's good!"
In the front hall of He's house, He Jingting scraped the tea leaves in the cup with the lid of the cup, blew it with his mouth, and put it back when he sent it to his mouth, he really couldn't drink it, and he didn't know how many cups of tea he had continued.
"Dad, I'm back, are you looking for me?"
Finally heard He Zhuowu shout, this kid finally came back.
He Zhuowu thought that his father would be a little annoyed after waiting for him for so long, but he didn't expect He Jingting to be unexpectedly gentle: "Wu'er, are you back?" Sit down, Dad will talk to you." ”
He Zhuowu sat down on his side.
"Wu'er, I heard your second mother say, go to Zhao's house to find Duxue today?"
"Yes, Dad. ”
"Oh, what do you think of Miss Twilight?"
"Hmm......" He Zhuowu hesitated for a moment, thinking that it was better not to tell Zhao Duxue about throwing him with a snack, and then said, "Sister Duxue is naturally very good!"
He Jingting nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, Twilight Snow grew up with me, Bingxue is smart, kind-hearted, and extremely beautiful, she is a rare good girl!"
Here He Jingting praised Zhao Duxue, but over there He Zhuowu fell into the puzzle of Sister Duxue's strange behavior today.
"Wu'er...... Wu'er!"
"Hey, Dad, I'm listening!"
"Do you remember when your eldest brother got married?"
"Remember, it's been ten years since my eldest brother got married. ”
"Well, your eldest brother is ten years older than you, and he was the same age as you when he got married. ”
"Yes. ”
He Jingting paused, as if sorting out his words.
"For my father, I am nearing the age of sixteen, and all I hope for in this life is your two brothers, and I hope that you will get married as soon as possible and inherit the family business.
Your eldest brother is aiming for a career, and the family business is not counting on him, but fortunately, he now has a happy family and a successful career, and he doesn't need to worry about his father for him.
Now you're left Wu'er, you have reached the age of talking about marriage, whether you are interested in the family's business or not, do you give the family first?"
Just now He Jingting said that his eldest brother was the same age as him, and He Zhuowu guessed whether his father was going to mention the matter of letting him marry earlier today, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.
At this time, He Jingting made his words clear, and he was even more overjoyed!
"Dad and I thought about going together, and I thought it was time to get married!"
He Zhuowu's answer made his father He Jingting really surprised and a little excited, thinking about how this son usually behaved, when did he become so sensible? But I don't want to do this for the time being, as long as he is willing to get married!
"That's so good, then Daddy will make you marry Twilight!"
He Zhuowu almost didn't jump!
"Marry Sister Twilight? This can't be done, I want to get married, but I have to listen to who I marry. Besides, Sister Twilight won't agree?"
"I can tell you the bottom first, the Zhao family, including Twilight, has already nodded!"
"Ah?...... That's not going to work, it's not Sister Twilight that I want to marry!"
He Jingting was already a little annoyed at this time, and wanted to slap the table, but he still suppressed his anger and said: "Since ancient times, marrying was ordered by your parents, your mother left early, and Lao Tzu is still there, how can you marry whoever you want?"
"Could it be that the eldest brother is also ordered by you to get married?" He Zhuowu raised his eyes and muttered as he looked up at the roof, his voice neither high nor low.
He Jingting was furious, his face flushed, but he still held back!
"Your eldest brother is married, and I approve it! If you don't marry such a good girl as Twilight, tell me, which girl do you want to marry?"
"I want to marry Sister Sisi!"
"Bastard!" He Jingting slapped the table and jumped up, "As long as Lao Tzu is alive, you don't want to marry Na Nizi!"
