Chapter 73
Xu You snorted in his heart. He knew that this guy would come, but he asked his wife calmly, "How do we introduce him to A Jin?"
Jiang handed the youngest son who was playing with in her arms to her husband's arms and said softly: "To be honest, just hide that part so as not to accidentally leak a child."
“Which part is hidden?”
Xu You asked uncertainly.
Jiang kissed him helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't let Ajin know that I have liked men other than her father, so I said that I am a brother-sister relationship with him."
Xu You was satisfied only then. He just looked at his wife's eyes. He clearly wanted to never even have a brother-sister relationship.
Jiang was too lazy to pay attention to this man who had clearly said that he would no longer eat food but still acted coquettish from time to time. He went to his daughter's yard to talk to her.
Xu You was worried, and followed her with her tightly wrapped little son, which made her smile all the way.
Xu Jin sewed new clothes for Xi Ge'er for the New Year and was trying it out for him.
Shortly after the Xu family came to the capital, Madam Wan left. After her guidance, although Xu Jinnuhong was not as good as Cui Xiao, she was able to take advantage of it.
Now, while he is still at home, he knows how tall and old Brother Xi is, so he embroidered his brother's clothes seriously.
"The sleeves seem to be a little longer here. Take them off, and my sister will change them."
"Sister is so nice."
Brother Xi praised sweetly, and after taking off his clothes, he couldn't wait to run to play with Dabai.
Dabai didn't like to care about this child very much, but after all, it was because it watched him grow up. The owner liked him so much that he had to shake his tail reluctantly and let Brother Xi pounce on it and roll.
The sound of parents speaking came from outside, and Xu Jin hurriedly urged his brother to get up.
Xi Ge'er will be officially enlightened next year. When his father saw him as naughty, he would definitely be scolded.
Brother Xi understood it, ran a few steps and climbed onto the kang, grabbed the book and pretended to read it.
The couple came in and saw their daughter changing clothes for their younger brother. The eldest son was reading a book honestly and smiled at each other.
The family of four gathered on the kang and talked for a while. Jiang handed the post to his daughter, then hugged Xi Ge'er who was leaning in his arms and explained softly: "This Pingxi General is called Rong Zheng, and he was originally the Jiang family's guard.
You also know that your grandmother went there early. Her grandfather was busy with business all year round and didn’t have much time to spend with me. When she was a child, she liked to play with the servants at home. Among them, she had the best relationship with Rong Zheng and was in love with brothers and sisters.
Later he went to join the army and had not returned for several years. My mother and your father were worried that something might happen to him, so they never mentioned him to you.
Now that he is back, we will walk around with the General's Mansion as an old friend. You all want to call him Uncle Rong, do you know?
Also, he is a general now. After all, he was not glorious when he was a guard. You brothers and sisters should know it yourself, and don’t mention it to others.”
Like brothers and sisters...
No wonder my mother burst into tears with excitement. Uncle Rong also fell off, Xu Jin thought secretly.
Looking up at her parents, seeing that they both looked as usual, Xu Jin felt that she was thinking too much before.
My mother lied to her and said she would go to Li’s house as a guest, probably because she was afraid that she would pester her mother to go with her?
The more Xu Jin thought about it, the more he felt that he had guessed correctly. He felt no doubts. He felt relieved in his heart. He asked carefully about the General Pingxi, and finally asked tentatively: "Mom, Qi Jing, Qi Jing admired Uncle Rong very much when he was a child. Why would he let Qi Jing come over to see Uncle Rong tomorrow?
Uncle Rong is a general, maybe he can give him some advice."
"You, you, you have not married yet, so you have planned for Qi Jing everywhere."
Jiang pinched her daughter's cheek and shyed her with words.
Xu Jin knelt down and crawled to his father, laughing and teasing Brother Rui.
Jiang looked at her husband, "What do you think?"
She thought this idea was good.
Knowing that Qi Jing is his future son-in-law, Rong Zheng will definitely give him all his strength. In this way, Qi Jing will avoid many detours. The more capable Qi Jing is, the more comfortable his daughter will live, the better.
Xu You really wanted to say that his son-in-law would be enough with his guidance, but when he thought that the boy might be sent to next year, he really didn't know much about the frontier battlefield, so he nodded reluctantly.
Jiang laughed secretly, scratched her husband's waist, and stared at him threatenedly.
So the next day, General Pingxi rode his horse slowly from the west entrance of Liuyin Lane. The guard Qi, a red man beside the emperor, turned over from the east entrance. The two looked at each other from a distance, and finally stopped at the door of Xu's mansion at the same time.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the imposing tall boy in front of him, Rong Zheng was inexplicably uneasy and asked with a cold face.
.
With Rong Zheng's current identity, he wanted to check Qi Jing's words and even recorded all the 18th generation of the Qi family's ancestors. But on the day he returned to Beijing, he first met his lover accidentally. At night, he suffered a blow from his lover's husband. So he was stuck at home for the past three days and regretted, regretted, sad and sad. It was the word "daughter" that made him find hope again.
After cheering up, Rong Zheng immediately posted a post to the Xu family. After receiving the reply, he began to think about how to please her daughter after seeing her, what gifts should be given to her, etc. He never thought about asking about the other person, so he didn't know that there was a person named Qi Jing.
Maybe he felt that his daughter was only fifteen after the New Year, and he had never thought about the marriage.
So early in the morning, I met a boy of the same age as his daughter’s house, and he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
Could it be that this kid covet his daughter's beauty and prepared various excuses to come and hook up?
Of course, Rong Zheng had never seen his daughter, but he was full of confidence. He and her children must be the best-looking girls in the world.
Rong Zheng did not recognize Qi Jing, but Qi Jing recognized him.
Regarding Rong Zheng, Qi Jing had just admired the reputation before. Although he respected him, he did not regard the other party as a god.
Yesterday's resignation made him lose his admiration for General Pingxi three points. Today, this man sat high and looked cold and arrogant, and he was questioned. Qi Jing suddenly lost all his favor.
Both of them were wearing regular clothes. Seeing that Rong Zheng couldn't get off the horse, Qi Jing continued to sit steadily on the horse and asked him coldly: "Who are you?
What are you doing when you come to Xu's house?"
Anyway, I haven't met officially, so what if he pretends not to recognize him?
Rong Zheng was so angry that he almost fell backwards.
After becoming a general, no junior dared to treat him like this!
Just as he was about to answer, the doorman inside poked his head out when he heard the movement, his eyes turned around on the two of them, and first recognized his son-in-law, and quickly ran out to hold the rope to ask Qi Jing to get off the horse: "You are here, please please, please, the master has instructed you, just go to the hall when you come."
The concierge is an old man from the Xu family, so he is naturally extremely enthusiastic about his son-in-law.
Qi Jing didn't even look at the person opposite him, so he got off the horse and didn't have to take the lead. He walked in with familiarity.
This seems to be a common occurrence!
Rong Zheng quickly dismounted, pulled the doorman aside, and asked him in a low voice: "Who was that person just now?
What does it have to do with your master?”
At this moment, he finally regretted not asking about the recent situation of the Xu family.
Indeed, there are no messy relatives in the Xu family, but Xu You is now an official and knows more people.
He was too imposing. The doorman looked up and then realized, his legs trembled, "You, are you a general?"
It’s all because the little one is blind. The master told me yesterday…”
"Stop talking nonsense, who was that person just now?"
Rong Zheng was too lazy to listen to his false words and interrupted him in a deep voice.
"Yes, I'll say that the young man is the eldest son of the Minister of Revenue, Qi, who made a marriage with our girl last year, has been hired this year, and will get married in May next year.
General, you, what else do you want to ask?”
Seeing that the general's face became increasingly ugly, the concierge was speechless.
Rong Zheng’s iron fist was clattering, and he couldn’t tell what it felt in his heart.
His daughter, he has never coaxed her and felt pain. He wanted to make good compensation before she got married, and then personally choose a son-in-law for her. Unexpectedly, before she saw her daughter, she met her fiancé first! We got married in May next year, and it was the end of the year. It was less than half a year before she got married, so where can I have time to compensate him?
Who should he blame?
He blamed him for losing the two of them first.
But that was all old things. Rong Zheng didn't want to think about it anymore, and he didn't want to put a knife into his heart anymore, so he turned all his anger on Xu You.
His daughter was married at the age of twelve. Xu You was so eager to marry his daughter out so that she could close her family with her and his two sons, so she chose a young boy for her daughter who looked like a man who didn't understand any rules and politeness!
No, he is not satisfied with this marriage!
After leaving the doorman, Rong Zheng strode in and happened to meet Xu You and Qi Jing walking towards this side.
Rong Zheng slowly stopped, narrowed his long eyes and looked at the young man beside Xu You carefully. He didn't even look at it carefully just now.
I don’t want to see this, and the person who still felt like a human being at the door was now looking at it.
This kid is about sixteen or seventeen years old. He seems to be not as tall as his back then, his body seems to be not as strong as his back then, and he is not as handsome as him. How can he be worthy of his daughter?
Qi Jing followed the prospective father-in-law to pick him up like he didn't notice the other party's picky eyes.
"This is my prospective son-in-law, with Qi Dan and Yi Jing, now he is a guard in front of the emperor."
Xu You first introduced Qi Jing to Rong Zheng, and then before Rong Zheng spoke, he pointed at his son-in-law and said, "Qi Jing, he is General Pingxi, and he is my old friend with your aunt. You can just call Uncle Rong in private."
Both of them came to compete with him for their daughters. Xu You didn't have the time to say much, and he said concisely. He just wanted to know who the other party was.
"General Rong."
