Chapter 32: A Moment of Dawn (2)
Along the way back to this journey, Wu Fengzhao was obviously in a lot of energy, and when he came, he seemed to be preoccupied, but at this time, he looked radiant, and there was a smile on his face every day.
Although Meng Dongting did not recognize him as his father-in-law, Wu Fengzhao appreciated his character and knowledge, and he was extremely affectionate in his words, and along the way, he also told Meng Dongting not to do things like a scholar anymore, and to concentrate on being his guest.
But Meng Dongting is particularly self-aware, and still insists on doing some work as a scholar. Wu Fengzhao persuaded him many times, but Meng Dongting did not agree, so he had to follow him in the end.
The boat traveled for several days, and this night the group finally returned to the house.
Mrs. Wu was overjoyed to see the master come back, and hurriedly instructed the housekeeper to set up a family banquet for Wu Fengzhao to wash the dust.
Mrs. Wu is Wu Fengzhao's original wife, who came out of a famous family in Nanjing, and never gave birth after having a daughter. Wu Fengzhao had no choice but to marry another daughter, but after having another daughter, he unfortunately contracted an illness and died early.
Therefore, there are two daughters in Wufu, the eldest lady is known as Baihua, born with a beautiful face and moonlight, bright and moving, and loves to make some small temperaments under the favor of her mother.
The second lady is named Qianhe, and her appearance is not much better than her sister, and what is even more rare is that Bing Xue is smart, and she has the style of a father, although she has lost the care of her biological mother at a very young age, but Wu Fengzhao has also doted on her because of this. For this matter, he was often counted by Mrs. Wu, saying that he was eccentric, which made Wu Fengzhao not have a headache.
The banquet was staggered, and Miss Wu saw that although Wu Fengzhao's face was full of the fatigue of the long journey, her interest was extremely high, and she asked with a smile: "Daddy is so happy to come back, but what good news did you get when you went to Anqing this time?"
Wu Fengzhao said with a smile: "Baihua is right, this time in Anqing, my father learned a great joy from the mouth of the general soldier of Xiong Wandi." ”
Miss Wu Er was extremely smart, she saw that her father was overjoyed, presumably because of the officialdom, so she interjected with a smile and asked, "Daddy must have been promoted!"
Wu Fengzhao laughed: "Qianhe is really smart, he can be selected at the first guess! As a father, he will be transferred to Beijing next year and promoted to the real secretary of the military department, and there is no need to add the word Nanjing in front of him!"
After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and they didn't expect that the old man would be promoted to the north and be among the top nine kings, and they all said congratulations.
Wu Fengzhao said with a smile: "Happy events come in pairs! Just now it was just a joy, this time I came back from Anqing, and there is another joy!"
It was rare for the family to reunite, so Wu Fengzhao wanted to tell his family about Meng Dongting, so that his family could meet him.
Miss Wu was anxious, pouted and said, "Daddy will sell Guanzi, hurry up and tell us." ”
Wu Fengzhao laughed and said, "Okay, Daddy said bluntly, that is to accept a talented child as my guest!"
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "Which family's child makes the master so happy?Is it Lord Xue's student, or is it Lord Lu's son?" When he said that the son of the Lu family, he glanced at Wu Qianhe, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Wu Qianhe's mouth flattened, and said: "How can Lu Xiang have any real skills to get into his father's eyes? This kid doesn't know anything else except playing." ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw that Miss Wu on the side frowned slightly, and a trace of unhappiness appeared on her face, but these expressions were just flashing, and it was difficult for people who were not careful to notice it at all.
Wu Baihua hurriedly asked, "Daddy, who is the person you are talking about, when can we meet each other?"
Wu Fengzhao's eyebrows fluttered when he appeared, and said, "Haha, it's not easy to see him." This kid is the scholar who helped Lord Lu solve his problem, as I mentioned to you. ”
Second Miss Wu Qianhe said loudly in surprise: "Why is it him again!" There was a curious look on her face.
The eldest lady Wu Baihua said with a disapproving face: "I also said who is my father talking about? It turned out to be that little thief, what is there to see!"
Wu Fengzhao heard that his eldest daughter disobeyed his heart on the spot, and he was slightly unhappy.
Seeing that the old man was unhappy, Mrs. Wu hurriedly said: "Since the old man said that this child has the ability, it must not be wrong." On the day when the old man set off for Anqing, didn't everyone see this kid? I saw that he had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he would not be bad. ”
Wu Baihua still didn't give up, and said: "I don't know my heart, I don't know my heart, the origin of this little thief is unknown, my father still has to be more vigilant and find out his details." ”
Wu Qianhe had never met Meng Dongting. She listened to everyone's discussions, and her heart became more curious, and she opened her mouth to ask, "Why have you all met, and when will you let me see you?"
Wu Fengzhao smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? I'll call him over to meet everyone later." ”
At this time, Wu Baihua's eldest lady's temper came up again, and said: "Daddy, do you want to let this kind of subordinate who sells some strength to make a living be on an equal footing with us?
Wu Fengzhao was a little harsh when he heard this, and said unhappily: "What is a subordinate who works hard! This kid will be a junior and a champion in the future." Baihua, how did you learn to look at people like this at such a young age?"
Seeing that her father was really a little angry, Miss Wu hurriedly used a killer move, looked at Mrs. Wu with wet eyes, and said coquettishly: "Mother, do you also agree to let this kind of person of unknown origin come to our table to eat?
Mrs. Wu couldn't see her baby daughter like this, and she couldn't be a peacemaker anymore, so she had to say to Wu Fengzhao: "Master, what Baihua said is not unreasonable. Before the origin of this person is clear, it is better not to meet everyone. ”
Wu Fengzhao saw that two of the closest people in the family said this, and he had no choice, so he had to sigh and say: "Okay, after the New Year, I will go to Beijing first and discuss the matter of taking office with a few adults in the Beijing Division." ”
"At that time, I will find a few more friends from the criminal department to check the details of this child. As long as he doesn't have any shady deeds, you don't have any worries, right?"
Mrs. Wu and Wu Baihua couldn't help but clapped their hands at the same time.
Wu Qianhe raised his mouth and muttered, "I have to wait so long! I want to see him now!"
On the second day, Meng Dongting was tidying up in the study, when he suddenly saw the housekeeper and a charming young woman walking in.
Meng Dongting saw the young woman, it was the eldest lady of the martial family, Wu Baihua, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Morning, eldest lady!"
Na Wu Baihua didn't reply, just stood in place and looked at Meng Dongting carefully.
Looking at it again this time, I saw that this person had a long body, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and extraordinary instruments, and I couldn't help but feel a little moved, but when I thought of Lu Xiang, the son of the Lu family, I secretly warned myself in my heart: "Even if this little thief is not bad, how can he compare with the son of the Lu family." ”
Meng Dongting still maintained this posture of bowing for a long time, and was looked at by her like this, and felt uncomfortable for a while, and hurriedly asked: "What does the eldest lady have to say? If you read a book, I will help you find it." ”
Wu Baihua said with a cold expression: "I'm not here to read a book. Is your name Meng Dongting?"
Meng Dongting said with a straight face: "Miss Cheap Insult listened. ”
Wu Baihua turned his eyes and said, "It's indeed a cheap name, but I heard that my father likes you very much, which makes you forget your identity a little, yes or no?"
Meng Dongting heard her words with thorns, and couldn't help but feel sorry and said: "Back to the eldest lady, the villain is here to serve as a scholar, wipe and tidy, be diligent and diligent, and never exceed the rules." I wonder where the eldest lady started with this?"
Wu Baihua listened to his answer, and said in his heart: "This little thief really has some knowledge, but I underestimated him before." ”
After thinking about it again: "I am the eldest lady of the martial family, there are dozens of people in this martial family, who doesn't obediently listen to me? If you don't treat him well today, I'm really afraid that he will have something wrong in the future!"
Immediately stood in front of Meng Dongting Shi Ran and sneered: "Little thief, now Miss Ben will mention a few things to you, you have heard me clearly, and I don't need to tell you a second time in the future." ”
Meng Dongting's heart fluctuated, but she didn't know what she had to say, so she said, "Miss, please just say it." ”
Wu Baihua glared at him and said viciously: "Ugly words are ahead! Don't rely on your father to like you, you little thief, you think that salted fish can turn over, and you don't take the rules of the house in your eyes!"
"In the future, when you do things in the house, you must know how to be proportionate, and don't think about it in a different way, do you know?"
This speech became more and more rude, and Meng Dongting couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but because she was a lord and a daughter, it was not easy to attack.
He suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said, "The villain doesn't understand, please ask the eldest lady to show the villain clearly." ”
Wu Baihua laughed and said, "Miss Ben has already talked about this, so let's just pick it out for you." It is said that some prodigal sons who are disciples play tricks all day long, either caring about other people's fathers and fathers, or they want to be people's sons-in-law, and live in obscurity as godsons and sons-in-law. ”
"Miss Ben said this, as long as she is not stupid, she should understand!"
If the descendants of large families want to ascend to the sky in one step, the move is either a son-in-law or a deed. Wu Baihua was mixed up in the circle of young ladies from big families every day, and he saw too much, so he thought about provoking him with words first, and expected that this kid would inevitably fall for the scheme.
When Meng Dongting heard this, he was so angry that Venus in front of him burst out, and he was furious in his heart, thinking: "There is a saying that 'a soldier can be killed, but not humiliated!' ”
"When his beloved daughter said these words today, should I, Meng Dongting, swallow my anger?" stood up straight, turned around and thought about nothing, and rushed out of the house.
