Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty [New Year's Eve Dinner] (Part 2)
Hu Xiaotian found that Yang Yingqiong was really good-looking. Although she was not a peerless beauty, she still belonged to the type of beauties at first sight. She was lively and generous, and she heard that her martial arts skills were quite good. He quietly winked at Chang Fanqi, and Chang Fanqi said:
Fan Qi drooped his big head in embarrassment.
Finally seeing a moment when no one was paying attention, he quietly approached Hu Xiaotian and whispered: "I appreciate your kindness. I can't force this kind of thing."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Chang, I don't want to do anything for you, but I promised the old lady. A gentleman's words are as fast as his horse's whip. You can't let me lie to an old man, can you?"
Chang Fanqi was speechless, thinking how dare he not bow his head under someone else's roof. Anyway, it was up to him to arrange whatever he wanted. In the end, it was up to me whether I would agree or not.
Mrs. Chang talked to Yang Yingqiong for a while and was already amused by the girl's cheerfulness and open-mindedness. Before Hu Xiaotian mentioned this matter to her, the old lady secretly called Hu Xiaotian aside and asked in a low voice: "I
Look, that Miss Yang is pretty good. My God, please help me ask her if she is betrothed to someone else."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Auntie, you don't know what my parents are like."
The old lady said to Hu Xiaotian mysteriously: "I have asked, and she is pretty. Miss Visa told me that she is beautiful, has a good temper, and has a good family background. Xiaotian, please help me ask.
"The old lady is a daughter-in-law fanatic, and her face is filled with excitement.
Hu Xiaotian whispered a few words in her ear. The old lady nodded happily, grabbed Hu Xiaotian's hand and whispered: "As long as Miss Yang can like me, this matter will be settled."
Already."
Hu Xiaotian said deliberately: "I'm just worried that Brother Chang won't agree." While speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Chang Fanqi in the distance. Chang Fanqi guessed that nothing good happened when he saw him and his mother muttering there, and he rushed towards him anxiously.
Hu Xiaotian stared, but there was nothing he could do.
The old lady smiled and said: "Whatever he does, I will make the decision for him. As long as I live for one day in this world, he will not be able to make the decision on marriage." The old lady actually has her domineering moments.
Hu Xiaotian returned to Chang Fanqi with a smile. Chang Fanqi was really anxious: "What did you say to my mother?"
Hu Xiaotian was calm and calm: "This is your home, why don't you behave like a host and greet the guests quickly?"
The old lady over there has already shouted: "Fan Qi, why don't you come over quickly and help Miss Yingqiong peel the garlic?"
Chang Fanqi's big face turned red: "Hey..."
When Hu Xiaotian saw this guy's embarrassed look, he just barely broke his belly with laughter.
No matter how embarrassed Chang Fanqi was, there was one thing he had to admit. My mother was in a very good mood tonight. She was originally ill in bed, but she miraculously got better today. In fact, the old lady was not sick at all. She was just pretending before.
Come out. Chang Fanqi is a filial son. Although he rarely speaks at night, he does not show any displeasure. Although he knows that Hu Xiaotian has ulterior motives, he is not malicious after all. In fact, Chang Fanqi unknowingly feels about Hu Xiaotian.
A lot has changed.
Everyone enjoyed the New Year's Eve dinner that night. When the New Year's Eve dinner was over, Chang Fanqi sent Hu Xiaotian and others away one by one, returned to the yard, and saw my mother standing there alone. Chang Fanqi hurriedly came up
He stepped forward to support his mother and said with concern: "Mom, why are you standing here? It's windy outside. Be careful of catching a cold."
Mrs. Chang said: "Son! Mom is very happy tonight."
Chang Fan said curiously: "Mom, I know that I rarely see you so happy these days. You go back and have a rest. I will go and clean up."
The old lady grabbed her son's big hand and said, "Fan Qi, don't be too busy. Just lock the door and let us go inside to talk."
Chang Fanqi nodded, turned around, locked the door, and helped his mother back into the house.
Mother and son sat down on the edge of the bed. Mrs. Chang let out a long sigh and said, "Son, do you feel that you are confused for your mother?"
Chang Fanqi shook his head and said: "Mother will always be the most perfect in the world in my heart."
The old lady couldn't help but laugh when her son said this. She shook her head and said, "When did you, a silly boy, learn to make people happy?"
Chang Fan wondered: "My child is telling the truth."
Mrs. Chang nodded and stretched out her hand. Chang Fanqi quickly handed it over to his mother to hold. The old lady grabbed her son's right hand with her left hand, stretched out her right hand and gently touched her son's face and said, "Mom, I haven't seen you for a long time."
It’s too much like you.”
Chang Fanqi's nose felt sore and he almost shed tears: "The child is useless because I didn't cure my mother's eyes."
Mrs. Chang smiled and said: "Silly child, you are not a doctor. Why should I blame you? Besides, everyone gets old. I am already sixty-three years old this year. It would be no shame to give up and return home now."
"Mom, don't say such unlucky things during the Chinese New Year. My child will still serve you for a long life."
The old lady shook her head and said: "I don't want you to serve me. Good men have their ambitions in all directions. How can I be around an old woman all day long? What a shame."
Chang Fanqi felt sad, thinking of his current situation, he was afraid that he would have no future.
The old lady said: "Don't think that I am confused and hide everything from me. In fact, I know it well in my heart. This is Dongliang County, which is the territory of Dakang. You were stationed in Dongluocang before.
Luocang was lost, and now we two have become Mr. Hu’s captives, right?"
Chang Fanqi always thought that his mother was confused, so he never told her the truth. He just kept weaving lies to make his mother feel at ease. However, he never expected that his mother knew everything and understood everything. He said with shame on his face: "My child is useless, let my mother know it."
My dear, I was humiliated."
The old lady said: "I don't think there is anything humiliating. Mr. Hu and the others have always treated us two with great respect and are very polite."
Chang Fan wondered: "That's because he has ulterior motives."
Mrs. Chang said: "It's not because I appreciate your abilities. Mom knows that you should be happy. If you had no value at all in the eyes of others, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't be alive today."
Chang Fanqi nodded. As expected, I understood clearly.
Mrs. Chang said: "Son, in fact, the ancestor of our Chang family is Chang Zhenshan, a famous general of Dakang. Later, the Chang family went through ups and downs and always served in Dakang. Until your grandfather's generation looked down on fame, our hometown Yanzhou used to be
It was also affiliated to Dakang. Later, Xue Jiurang, the great ancestor of Dayong, proclaimed himself emperor and founded the Dayong Dynasty. We became the people of Dayong. I am just a womanly family and don’t understand any big principles. But I once listened to you
Dad said that the general trend of the world will be united if it is divided for a long time, and it will be divided if it is united for a long time. The great Yong Dakang people drink Yongjiang water and believe in the sages and sages. In fact, they are all one family. The real enemies are Heihu and those in Sharjah.
Foreign races. The reason why the Central Plains has been invaded by foreign races in recent years is not because of internal divisions. Each one thinks about their own interests. How many of the kings really consider the people?"
Chang Fanqi was silent.
Mrs. Chang said: "Your father joined the army in Dayong, but he was always frustrated and suppressed, and finally died in depression. Although you are brave and brave, you have not been reused in Dayong for a long time. After stationed in Dongluocang, Qin Yangming was jealous of talents.
I suppress you everywhere, and my mother has always seen it. In fact, in this Central Plains world, people may not necessarily have the surname Xue, and they may not necessarily have the surname Long. As long as they are capable, anyone can be the emperor, as long as the emperor can resist
If foreign invaders can lead the people to live a good life, then he is a good emperor." The old lady said the most simple and unpretentious truth.
Chang Fan wondered: "The child is useless on his own."
Mrs. Chang said: "Son, mother knows that the reason why you stay in Dongliang County is all because of me. If you really want to return to Dayong, don't worry about me and just wait for an opportunity to escape by yourself."
Chang Fanqi shook his head and said: "How can the child ignore his mother? Besides, even if the child escapes back, there is only one way to die. Dongluocang was lost in my hands, and it is already a death penalty. What's more, the child is still under the coercion of Hu Xiaotian,
I personally delivered Qin Yangming into his hands."
Mrs. Chang said: "Your father once said something before he died. He said that a scholar dies for his confidant. No matter how great a person's ability is, if he doesn't meet someone who appreciates him, he is useless as a hero. These days, I quietly
Observing Hu Xiaotian, although he is the leader of the party, he is approachable and approachable. He does not assume a condescending attitude. He is also caring about our mother and son. My son, it is not my mother who persuades you to surrender, but those who understand the current affairs are heroes. You can't just
Live a mediocre life like this."
Chang Fanqi whispered: "Mom, I will think about this matter carefully."
Mrs. Chang said: "There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. Living well is more important than anything else."
On the first day of the new year, a group of subordinates came over early in the morning to wish Hu Xiaotian New Year greetings. Hu Xiaotian asked Visa to prepare red envelopes in advance and distributed them to everyone. After socializing, he called Visa to go to Zhuge Guanqi to wish New Year's greetings.
The two came to the alley leading to Zhuge Guanqi's house, and saw Zhuge Guanqi and his wife coming back from outside. It turned out that they had gone to Bingsheng Temple to offer incense to their ancestors early in the morning. Zhuge Guanqi smiled and said: "
We were just thinking about going to wish our lord a happy New Year, but we didn’t expect you to arrive first.”
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's the right thing for a younger brother to pay his elder brother a New Year greeting. Brother Guanqi, sister-in-law, do you have any red envelopes?"
Hong Lingxue giggled and said, "Yes, yes!" She kindly grabbed Visa's delicate hand and invited them to sit at home.
After coming to Zhuge Guanqi's study and sitting down, Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, I wanted to come over yesterday, but I thought that Brother Guanqi had returned from a long journey and needed a good rest. Besides, he and his sister-in-law must have a lot to say, so
