Chapter 22: Brother and Sister Love
Hua Sheng buried his head on Hua Xiu's shoulder, holding back tears and trembling his body, and said very sadly: "Brother, I will go to school at the Imperial Academy in a few days." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Hua Xiu was stunned, then patted Hua Shang's little buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "It turns out that I don't want to go to school, that's not good." In the future, if others know that the dignified lady of the Hua family doesn't know how to read, how embarrassing it is. ”
"No!" Hua Sheng shook her head and said lonely: "After Shang'er went to school, there was no one to accompany my brother, I was afraid that my brother would be lonely, and I was even more afraid..."
She didn't say what she was afraid of, but Hua Xiu knew her thoughts.
Hua Xiu hugged Hua Sheng tightly in his arms and sighed lightly: "Shang'er will always be a good sister to my brother, are you afraid that others will bully your brother?" Because my father said that he would send me to the team for training next year, I heard that I would still be sent to General Qin. ”
This General Qin is Hua Zijing's sworn enemy, and Hua Zijing wants to send Hua Xiu to his subordinates, obviously to experience Hua Xiu.
Although Hua Sheng was only ten years old, she was sensitive and knew that Hua Xiu would suffer a lot when she joined the army, so she was reluctant to let her brother suffer.
Hua Xiu pinched Hua Xiang's little face and said with a smile: "Don't cry, I know you feel sorry for your brother, but my brother is an adult, and if you are an adult, you have to serve the country and kill the enemy on the battlefield." But don't be naughty when you go to school, listen to your husband, and don't be teased by others for not learning like your brother. ”
Hua Sheng wiped her tears, showed a very serious look, and said firmly: "I know, I will study hard to learn, and my brother will take care of himself after I go to school." ”
Hua Xiu smiled and scolded with a smile: "Don't make it look like life and death, you are not allowed to be naughty after school, you are the eldest lady of the Hua family, you can't lose the family's demeanor." ”
Hua Shang's little eyes rolled, stuck out his tongue, and grinned: "I know, I won't be naughty." ”
Looking at his sister's eccentric appearance, Hua Xiu smiled wryly.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today is the day when Huashang enters the Imperial Academy.
Hua Zijing has too much time to take care of his youngest daughter because of too many affairs in the army. It is still the school that Hua Xiu personally sent Hua Sheng to.
Only the children of nobles and warlords were eligible to attend the Imperial Academy, which was built in a very large building and could accommodate as many as 10,000 people.
As soon as he entered the academy, Hua Xiu saw an old acquaintance.
This is an old man with white hair, and when the old man saw Hua Xiu enter the school gate, his eyes showed deep disdain. However, he pretended to be very enthusiastic to greet the Hua Xiu brothers and sisters.
"Hey, Second Young Master Hua has enrolled in school with Miss. The old man greeted the two with a smile.
Hua Xiu looked at the old man and said lukewarmly: "Mr. Charlotte, I caused you a lot of trouble when I was young, I hope you don't bully my sister because of me." ”
"How can it, who dares to bully the children of the Hua family?" The gentleman named Charlotte still looked very enthusiastic.
Hua Xiu snorted lightly and said to his sister, "You have to listen to Mr. carefully, especially this Mr. Charlotte, don't make him angry." ”
Hua Sheng nodded, and followed Hua Xiu towards the school building.
Charlotte is the only teacher from the West in the Imperial Academy, because Hua Xiu's mother was killed by Westerners, so he has been unable to get along with this Mr. Charlotte when he first came to the Academy.
Watching the Hua Xiu brothers and sisters enter the school building, Xia Luo had a gloomy face and snorted lightly: "The waste of the Hua family, it was because you and I couldn't return to the motherland, even if you are from the Hua family, you have to pay the price!"
Hua Xiu himself didn't know that the identity of this Mr. Charlotte was not as simple as it seemed.
After sending his sister to the Imperial Academy, Hua Xiu walked alone on the streets of Thang Long City, and he looked at the bustling crowd and felt that he was out of place with them.
Most of the people in Thang Long City knew Hua Xiu, and although these people were very respectful, their eyes were full of mockery.
Hua Xiu is used to the way people look at him, he is not a gentleman, and he will not bother with these people.
However, he didn't want to go into trouble.
Hua Xian was walking to the General's Mansion, but he met his cousin Hua Yun on the street.
Hua Zijing has only one younger brother, his younger brother is called Hua Zilong, and this Hua Yun is Hua Zilong's youngest son, only one year older than Hua Xiu.
At this moment, Hua Yun was wearing a war armor and riding a war horse on the street, holding his head high and majestic.
Although Hua Xiu doesn't have much friendship with Hua Yun on weekdays, he is also a cousin, so he naturally wants to say hello.
Hua Xiu kindly went to greet Hua Yun, but Hua Yun ignored him as air.
Hua Xiu scratched his head in embarrassment and was about to leave, but just as he turned to leave, Hua Yun opened his mouth and said, "Oh, isn't this my good cousin Hua Xiu?"
Listening to Hua Yun's gloomy tone, Hua Xiu frowned and turned around, and said coldly: "Hua Xiu had already greeted his brother just now, but his brother didn't hear it. ”
Hua Yun rode on his horse and looked down at Hua Xiu, and said with a smile: "Oh, brother, didn't you just come back from the army." So please don't be surprised by my cousin. By the way, I heard that Xiang'er entered the Imperial Academy today, and I just happened to pass by the Academy and found a good gentleman for her by the way. ”
Hua Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Lao is worried. ”
"Hehe, where is there, brother, don't be polite to me. I've heard that Mr. Charlotte is a very special gentleman, and I think she should be able to get ahead under him. Hua Yun looked at Hua Xiu with a smile.
Hearing this, Hua Xiu's heart suddenly sank, he looked at Hua Yun coldly, frowned, and said, "Doesn't my brother know that I have a grudge against Xia Luo?"
"Oh, I really don't know!" Hua Yun suddenly exclaimed exaggeratedly, and his expression was almost fake.
Hua Xiu clenched his fists, stared at Hua Yun deadly, gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Yun, don't you want to act with me, don't you just want me to make a fool of myself." You see that I am not upset and come at me, Xiang'er is innocent!"
Hua Yun looked at Hua Xiu with disdain, and sneered: "Yes, I just look down on you, you family's waste!"
Hua Xiu's whole body trembled, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Hua Yun, if my sister is hurt, I won't let you feel better!"
"Haha!" Hua Yun laughed arrogantly and said to Hua Xiu: "What a majestic brother, I heard that Xia Luo is related to a major event ten years ago, I guess you don't know, right?"
Hua Xiu's heart trembled, and he glared and shouted, "What are you talking about!?Xia Luo turned out to be related to that incident ten years ago, why didn't you tell me earlier." No, why did you send her clothes to him when you know that?"
Hua Yun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "It's very simple, because I did it on purpose. ”
"We are brothers, why are you doing this!" Hua Xiu yelled, he was already furious to the extreme.
Hua Yun roared at the same time and snorted: "We are both brothers? Why is it that your father is the first general of the empire, but my father is just a nobleman! Why is my father not daring to speak loudly in front of your father!"
Hua Xiu said: "The eldest brother is like a father, they respect each other. ”
"Haha, what an eldest brother is like a father, so you don't care if I call my father?"
Hua Xiu endured his anger, but he suddenly grinned, and this smile made Hua Yun's heart burst out.
"Hua Yun, if you humiliate me and insult me today, I will remember it in my heart. I'm going to make you regret what you did today!"
Watching Hua Xiu's figure disappear into the street, Hua Yun squinted his eyes and said to himself: "Waste is waste, I'll see what you do to take revenge on me!"
Hua Xiu's mind is in turmoil now, he is now anxiously heading to the Imperial Academy, he wants to rescue his sister.
He ran all the way to the Imperial Academy, and at the moment he was already sweating profusely. He gasped and walked into the front of the school building, pushing the door open vigorously, ready to go to the steward of the Imperial Academy to bring his sister back.
At this moment, a familiar voice came: "Hua Xiu, why are you back again?"
It was Hua Xiu's former husband who spoke, Jiang Sai, a genius with a great reputation, both civil and military!
Jiang Sai looked at Hua Xiu with a smile on his face.
Hua Xiu said urgently: "Sir, where is Charlotte, I want to take my sister away." ”
Jiang Sai frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Just now I was wondering why Xia Luo suddenly called in sick, I don't see that guy looking sick." ”
Hua Xiu's heart sank, and the bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and he didn't dare to delay and quickly came to the governor's room.
When I entered the room, I saw a bad old man with a mouth full of yellow teeth, hugging a girl of sixteen or seventeen.
Hua Xiu entered the room, and the three of them were stunned at the same time, and the expressions of the three of them were wonderful for a while.
The girl watched Hua Xiu break in, his face burning like fire, and quickly left the room with his head down.
The bad old man looked at Hua Xiu and smiled, scratched his head and said, "Hua Shao, do you have anything to do with me?"
This bad old man is the administrator of the Imperial Academy, and it is said that this person used to be a big man, but now no one knows his real name, and people call him the governor.
It is said that this governor is a big man, but Hua Xiu thinks that he is a complete hooligan. A scene like this just now, Hua Xiu encountered it countless times when he was a child studying here, and he didn't know what those women coveted to fool around with this ugly old man.
"I'm going to take my sister Hua Sheng out of the academy!" Hua Xiu didn't talk nonsense, at this moment he was already covered with cold sweat and looked at the governor uneasily.
The governor was puzzled and puzzled, "Wasn't Miss taken away by you?"
Speaking of this, Hua Xiu's nerves completely collapsed.
The governor is a shrewd person, he immediately guessed something when he saw Hua Xiu's appearance, he gently patted Hua Xiu's shoulder and comforted him: "If something happens in the Imperial Academy, I should be responsible, and I will do my best to help you find Miss." ”
"How do you know?" Hua Xiu looked at the prefect in shock.
