At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 79
"Meet the general!" Liu Junfeng bowed and saluted.

Cheng De waved his hand and said, "This ceremony will be avoided! My sister Xiuying and I came late. We wanted to come earlier, but we were delayed because of some things. It's my fault for making my cousin wait here for a long time."

"Don't dare." Liu Junfeng replied.

Liu Junfeng stretched out his right hand, made an inviting gesture, and said, "General, please come inside!"

After Cheng De and Ma Xiuying looked at each other, they followed Liu Junfeng into the gate together.

However, all those people he brought were left outside the door by him.

Following Liu Junfeng, Cheng De and Ma Xiuying came to a hall.

At this time, in the hall, two people stood on tiptoes and looked out frequently.

One was an old woman with grizzled hair, wearing a clean blue dress with patches.

One is a beautiful girl in a white and blue dress.

At this time, the girl's hands were a little cramped, she didn't know where to put them, and she seemed a little absent-minded.

And the girl's hands looked rough, covered with calluses.

When Cheng De, Ma Xiuying, and Liu Junfeng appeared, the old woman greeted them excitedly, followed by a young girl with a nervous face.

Seeing this, Cheng De took the lead in bowing to the old woman and said, "Nephew Cheng De, I have seen my aunt."

The old woman smiled and nodded, "Hey——"

Afterwards, the old woman looked at Cheng De for a moment, and then she smiled and said, "You really look alike! Your eyebrows and eyes are really similar to Amei's when she was a child!"

Seeing his aunt's excited appearance, Cheng De smiled back.

"This is—" Cheng De's aunt Hu Shi first looked at Ma Xiuying and then at Cheng De, her eyes full of doubts.

"Hi aunt, I'm Brother De's fiancée, Ma Xiuying." Ma Xiuying introduced herself generously.

Seeing Ma Xiuying's elegance, Mrs. Hu said with a smile: "The girl is beautiful, dignified and decent, and my nephew can be called a golden boy and a jade girl. It is really a match made in heaven."

Ma Xiuying smiled and said: "Auntie was joking, I am not as good as my auntie. This is my younger sister, right?"

Ma Xiuying looked at the girl in the blue skirt.

Mrs. Hu pulled the girl in the blue skirt, looked at Ma Xiuying and Cheng De, and said with a smile, "This is the little girl Liu E."

Seeing Cheng De and Ma Xiuying's gazes on her, Liu E's ears turned red, and she lowered her head in salute, "Liu E has seen my cousin and sister-in-law."

Ma Xiuying's ears were red, and she said with a light smile: "Compared to me, my sister has the appearance of a closed moon and a shameful flower, and a face like a fish and a wild goose, which I am very envious of!"

Upon hearing this, Liu E raised her head slowly, looked at Ma Xiuying with a sweet smile and said, "My cousin is too famous!"

Mrs. Hu said: "You are all very good, so there is no need to give in to each other here. Nephew, and Xiuying, we go to sit in the back room, and it is outrageous to stand in the hall."

Cheng De and Ma Xiuying nodded.

"My son, since your nephew is here, you go kill the chicken raised in the yard and stew it for food, and look at the rest and make some meat dishes, and treat your nephew and Xiuying well!" Mrs. Hu said commanded.

Liu Junfeng nodded in agreement, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Cheng De wanted to stop him, but he fell silent when he saw the smile on Hu's face under the signal of Ma Xiuying's eyes.

Let's not talk about the disappointing things.

Under the guidance of Hu Shi and Liu E, Cheng De and Ma Xiuying came to the inner room.

Several people sat around a round table, Mrs. Hu sat on the north side, followed by Cheng De, Ma Xiuying, and Liu E.

After sitting down, Mrs. Hu looked at Cheng De with caring eyes, and said: "I thought that I would never be able to get in touch with my sister again in this life. Unexpectedly, God allowed me to see my nephew at half the age when I was buried. God bless you!"

Hearing this, Cheng De replied with a smile: "There is God's will in the dark. My nephew can see his aunt, and he is full of emotion in his heart."

When Mrs. Hu heard this, she suddenly became sad, "It's a pity..."

Speaking of this, she didn't go on.

There was silence in the arena.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Ma Xiuying looked at Liu E with a smile and said, "Your sister should have read books, right?"

Liu E was startled, then nodded, "I've been studying for a few years."

"What books have you read?" Ma Xiuying asked.

"There are "Book of Songs" and "The Analects of Confucius", and there are no others." Liu E replied softly.

"My younger sister likes books. If she wants to read in the future, she can go to her cousin. There are still some books in her room." Ma Xiuying said.

"Auntie, here are three gifts that Xiuying and I chose, one is a jade bracelet for my aunt, one is a hairpin for my cousin, and the other is a small box with ten taels of silver in it. , It’s all a wish from Xiuying and me, I hope my aunt and cousin can accept it!” Cheng De took out these things from his arms, looked at Hu Shi and Liu E and said.

Originally, he wanted to give more money, but he was afraid of giving too much, and his aunt's family would not accept it, so he finally decided to give ten taels.

When Mrs. Hu heard the words, she was a little moved, and she declined with a smile: "I heard from my son that my nephew is doing something big and needs a lot of money. Therefore, my nephew needs money more than my aunt. Yinzi, if my nephew has this kind of heart, I will be content. Let my nephew keep these precious things for his own use!"

Cheng De glanced at Ma Xiuying.

Ma Xiuying then said, "If my aunt doesn't accept it, Brother De may not be able to sleep tonight. In fact, this bracelet, hairpin, including the ten taels of silver, were carefully selected by Brother De himself. Before he came, I have considered that you will refuse, so he has put a lot of thought into the things he picked. Such things are already the least valuable things that Brother De has offered. Aunt can understand a thing or two, so let's accept it, so as to satisfy Brother De's heart."

Hu was silent, her expression was a little hesitant.

Liu E secretly looked at Cheng De with a good feeling in his heart.

After seeing Hu's expression, Ma Xiuying continued: "Brother De is the master of Sizhou, and many people will pay attention to his words and deeds. If my aunt doesn't accept it, maybe there will be some rumors and gossips tomorrow." Going out, when the time comes, I'm afraid it will damage Brother De's reputation."

At this time, Liu E raised her head, looked at Mrs. Hu, and said, "Mother, just listen to your cousin and accept it! Even if it's not for yourself, you have to think about my cousin."

When Mrs. Hu heard the words, she glared at Liu E, "You girl, you have teamed up with Xiuying to deal with your mother. You can do it." After a pause, "You all said that, and if you refuse, you will be fine." It seems that I am relying on the old to sell the old, and I am not a person who does not know right from wrong. As an aunt, I am very touched by the sincerity of my nephew. The only thing I can do is to urge my son to do things for my nephew and share more worries for my nephew."

Liu E lowered her head, her ears were red, and she didn't speak.

Ma Xiuying smiled.

Cheng De nodded: "Auntie should be like this. The gift I gave is the heart of the younger generation. Wouldn't it be a disappointment to the younger generation if I don't accept it?"

Hu smiled and said, "Okay, I'm sure you're right to listen to my nephew."

Cheng De and Ma Xiuying smiled at each other.

Immediately, Ma Xiuying helped put the jade bracelet on Hu's wrist, and Cheng De also handed the hairpin wrapped in blue cloth to Liu E.

Liu E looked up at Cheng De, her face flushed, and she said softly, "Thank you, cousin!"

Cheng De waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, put it on and have a look first. This hairpin was carefully selected by me. My cousin should look good when she wears it."

Liu E lowered her head and replied, "Yes."

Later, after Liu E put on the hairpin, both Cheng De and Ma Xiuying praised it, which made Liu E more confident and generous, and talked more.

After several people chatted for an hour, Cheng De and Ma Xiuying had a hearty dinner at Liu Junfeng's house.

During the period, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, and Cheng De also drank a lot of wine happily.

Disperses when drunk.

After Cheng De and Ma Xiuying were sent out of the gate by Liu Junfeng, Hu Shi and Liu E.

Supported by Zhang Qijiu, Cheng De, Ma Xiuying, and a group of people they brought back to the General's Mansion.

The backs of Cheng De and his party gradually disappeared in the eyes of Liu Junfeng and others.

As soon as Liu Junfeng turned around, he saw that Liu E was still staring blankly at the direction Cheng De left. He didn't know what she was thinking, and seemed a little absent-minded.

Seeing this, Liu Junfeng's eyes met Hu's.

Hu said quietly at this time: "Girl, are you tempted by my nephew?"

Liu E was startled when he heard the words. Seeing Hu's scrutinizing eyes, he didn't dare to look directly. He lowered his head and said, "Mother, that's not the case. I didn't...don't talk nonsense..."

Mrs. Hu gave Liu E a helpless look, "You girl, my mother is from here, how can I not know that you are about to lose your soul?"

Liu E's face turned red when he heard this, and he hesitated for a while, but didn't know how to reply.

"If you really like it, tell mother, I'll talk to my nephew. If you want me to say, my nephew has a good character. But, unfortunately, he already has Xiuying. If you marry the girl, then you I can only be a concubine, do you want to do that too? You should think about it carefully! When you figure it out, tell your mother!" Hu looked at Liu E calmly, then turned and entered the room.

Liu E fell silent when she heard the words, feeling a little lost in her heart.

Seeing this, Liu Junfeng didn't know how to comfort his younger sister, so he just said: "Sister, in fact, as far as my brother is concerned, being a concubine to my cousin is not bad. My cousin is not a heartless person. As far as I know, My cousin also only has two women. Think about it, if you were someone else with the status of a cousin, you would have an incredible number of women. Sister, think about it for yourself! As a brother , I also hope that my sister can be happy."

After speaking, Liu Junfeng also returned to the house.

Liu E became even more silent when he heard this.

Raising her head and looking at the endless night sky, her thoughts seemed to float into the air, not knowing where to fall from.

Heart at a loss.

As for her cousin Cheng De, apart from what she heard from other people, she is a general who is good at fighting.

She also knows that Cheng De is a general who treats the people benevolently.

After that, it was his elder brother Liu Junfeng who told him about his cousin Cheng De's tragic life experience.

Then, what I saw today.

According to what she saw today, she knew that her cousin Cheng De was an approachable, careful and generous man.

At the same time, she is also the type of person she likes in her heart.

The endless night filled all the worries in Liu E's heart.
