Chapter two hundred and ninety eight meet
The next morning, He Xingmin, Du He and Jiang Ling, who were regaining their energy, appeared at the door of Commander He's study.
Jiang Ling was not awake and quietly yawned, saying, "Does your father get up quite early every day?"
Captain He whispered: "It wasn't like this before. It seemed that he was old and had less sleep. Recently, he always got up at four or five o'clock. When I came back and asked good morning, I came late and was scolded."
Du He didn't say anything, listened with his ears on his back for a while, frowned and said, "We may be late today. There is no one in the room."
Captain He raised his eyebrows and did not wait any longer. He strode forward, pushed open the two guards at the door, rushed to the door, looked inside, and quickly retreated, nodding to the two.
“What should I do next?”
Captain He asked and looked at Du He.
After a person on the verge of despair catches a straw, no matter what the straw is, he will always treat it as his last hope.
Du He is the last hope for Leader He, so he relies on Du He in everything, and Du He can understand it. He patiently said to Leader He: "Where did the old man of the He family go, others don't know, there is someone who should know."
"It's Mrs. Who!" Jiang Ling snatched with a strange look on his face.
Du He nodded, "Since Commander He is not here and the elders are respected, let's go and ask Mrs. He for good morning."
Captain He immediately agreed and took the two to Mrs. He's yard again.
Du He looked at the long distance between the study and the backyard along the way, and his face became subtle. He couldn't help but whisper, "Brother He, does your father usually live so far? The study is far from his son's wife's yard, which is not very reasonable."
Hearing this, Captain He sighed, took off his hat, pointed to a tall room passing by and said, "Originally this is the study, only a few minutes from my mother's backyard. However, last week, my parents had a big fight and my father moved to the current study."
"They usually..." Du He asked tentatively.
"I never quarrel, I don't even blush. It's all my fault for swearing up to those damn people." Captain He said coldly.
Jiang Ling thought about the scene he saw last night and felt that Captain He's words were not very credible.
It can be said that the separation of one's son is due to the struggle for power, but what kind of conflict between his wife can cause the two to live in separate houses. They are not young people in their twenties who are making trouble all day long.
The three of them had their own thoughts and unknowingly arrived at the inner courtyard where the inner family lived.
The house of He Shiling’s house is mostly based on the appearance of a new-style architecture, but traces of traditional architecture are everywhere, such as carving of bats and other auspicious reliefs on the European marble-style exterior wall. Although it is a bit foreign or earthy, it looks pretty good at first glance.
In this way, the small courtyard where Mrs. He lives in herself looks very outstanding.
"Lingtang actually understands Rococo style architecture, which is really not to be underestimated." Du He sighed at the gorgeous shells and seaweed decorations on the main building of the small courtyard.
After returning to China, he saw a lot of European-style Baroque and Gothic architecture, but this was the first time he saw the gentle Rococo style. It can be seen that Mrs. He is not an old-style woman who is inexperienced in the boudoir.
Leader He rarely cheered up and said seriously, "Although my mother learned traditional education, she was very interested in architecture when she was young. I heard that she had been studying for a while. Now she often reads her design drawings, but she can only pass the time, but she has no chance to realize it. This house was designed and renovated by my mother herself, and my father also supported it back then."
Du He looked at the emerald green glass outside the small house and the bright colors faintly revealing in the room, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Jiang Ling said a little disappointedly: "It turns out to be the same style? When your mother invited me to have tea, I felt dizzy when she looked at her house in a fancy way."
Orthodox French aristocratic architecture was so fancy that Jiang Ling said, and Captain He was speechless and choked. After a while, he was relieved from the embarrassment and coughed dryly, intending to disagree with Jiang Ling about what damn architectural style should he have again.
Du He smiled slightly and felt inexplicably happy.
"Mother, have you gotten up? I'm here with my friends." Captain He asked symbolically at the door.
The door opened quickly and the servant bowed, "My lady guessed that the young master and his friends probably hadn't used breakfast yet, so she told me to prepare breakfast in the restaurant, so she asked the young master to come with me."
Jiang Ling's eyes lit up, and he accelerated his pace and followed Captain He tightly, and urged him quietly, "Go away quickly, I'm starving to death."
Commander He helped speed up two steps. Jiang Ling stepped over Commander He and then urged the servant in front, "You are walking so slowly." "Brother, please leave quickly. How about I'll treat you to dinner later?"
As he chatted, Jiang Ling made the servant leading the way at a loss and finally managed to take several people to the restaurant with great care.
Mrs. He has arrived long ago.
Compared with the previous few meetings, Mrs. He's mental outlook has changed dramatically. Her face was covered with makeup, but it still couldn't cover the dark shadows under her. She was as haggard as if she had grown five years old overnight.
"Xingmin, Ah and Ah Ling, come and sit down. I saw that you didn't move your chopsticks much yesterday, so I'm afraid you're hungry."
Mrs. He warmly greeted the three of them to sit down. Captain He looked worried and couldn't help asking, "Mother, is there anything that makes you embarrassed in the family recently?"
Mrs. He said calmly: "There is nothing difficult. Last night, I went to watch the new movie with a few good sisters, and then played mahjong again. I just stayed late. It would be better to recover for two days. I'm old and can't stand the night anymore."
Jiang Ling and Du He looked at each other, knowing that Mrs. He didn't tell the truth. It was probably because the two outsiders were present, so some words were not convenient to say.
The two of them who were in tune with each other didn't ask much. They followed the rules of a junior and honestly finished the meal. Du He wiped his mouth before making his request.
"Madam He, we are both here to disturb you. In fact, we are a little selfish. Please don't blame me."
Mrs. He had been absent-minded before, and then she came back to her senses with a slight urgency, smiled politely and said, "Oh? Ah He has something to do, but it's okay."
Du He cleared his throat and said sincerely, "That's right, Mrs. He, we brother and sister have always heard that Commander He has made great achievements in combat, both wise and brave, and are like Qin Shubao. They admire him very much. Therefore, when Brother He said that Commander He was at home, he wanted to come to see him and listen to the teachings of his elders. However, after two days of coming, he had never seen Commander He, and he didn't know..."
"It's a sibling." Jiang Ling whispered to correct it.
Mrs. He smiled and felt better.
"Young people love loyalty, and beauties admire heroes. When I was young, I also liked Qin Shubao very much."
Jiang Ling nodded with an agreement.
"That's why you found a great hero like Commander He."
Mrs. He's smile faded, her eyes drooped, and she said with an unknown meaning: "Yes... But my uncle has not been in the mansion these days. If you want to meet, ask Xingmin to take you outside the city. He should now inspect the 19th Army."
"My father went to the 19th Army? Why don't I know!"
Captain He shouted in surprise.
Mrs. He touched her son's rough cheeks with pity and whispered, "Son, your father is not over now, be careful."
Du He was surprised, was he careful not to anger Commander He or be careful of Commander He? Mrs. He didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask. The family had lived like this, and it seemed that the He family's affairs were far more serious than they thought.
