Chapter 11

Now when Fengtian mentions the Tang Mansion, he is actually talking about the second house of the original Tang Mansion, Feng Jiu's father, Tang Du's house.

Tang Du was Tanhua in the late Qing Dynasty, handsome in style. When he was in the capital, he fell in love with Fengjiu's mother, Yun Huoqing, the daughter-in-law of Shandong governor Yunlin, and fell in love at first sight. They got married smoothly and gave birth to Fengjiu's eldest brother, eldest sister and her.

According to the general ranking of the Tang family's generation, a girl commits the character 'Bong', and Bong nine lines and six, so she is called Miss Six.

When the former Qing Dynasty fell, Tang Du's noble official position in the Hanlin Academy would naturally be lost. However, Mr. Tang Er is a pragmatic man, so he turned around and started a business. After a few years of hard work, apart from running around, He also had to fight in the mansion with Jian Tian'er, the eldest brother and third younger brother who wanted to plunder the old man's little leftover oil and water. After arriving, he has become a well-known business tycoon in the north and south. Tianjin has opened a bank, and even expanded the family's influence overseas in advance, which seems to have become a trend.

Under the auspices of the elders of the clan, the family members of the third household of the Tang family were able to separate smoothly. Not only was the division straightforward, but the two brothers were convinced that they both lived in other houses, but they lived back and forth smoothly. The communication was even warmer than before, and the occasional quarrels in the past were all gone, which cannot but be said to be Tang Du's ability.

On this day, a major event happened to the Fengjiu family.

Speaking of which, the eldest sister who has been able to maintain full attendance since she went to the new school until the university, and even the eldest sister who often pretends to have something to do not return even during the holidays, actually came back from Peiping in the middle of the semester.Feng Jiu saw the elder sister who was still gorgeous and majestic like a peony even though she was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, and immediately ran up to her, hugging her shoulders without letting go, and acted coquettishly like a twisted candy.

As for why she hugged her shoulders instead of her waist, it was probably because Fengjiu was taller than the eldest sister, so hugging her waist was really embarrassing for her.

In fact, the eldest sister treated her quite harshly since she was a child, but Fengjiu was still full of admiration for the eldest sister as always, especially after the death of her mother when she was ten years old.Moreover, I have to say that the eldest sister and mother look more and more alike when they grow up.

Although Tang Fenglin is not tall, she has always had a cheerful and strong personality, and no one dares to underestimate her.

However, at this time, she seemed to be full of thoughts, she just smiled and hugged Fengjiu, patted her head lightly, and handed over to her the large box of heavy Jingba items she brought back. , let her eat with Feng Ling and her little nephew Buku, and then went into her father's study.

Fengjiu put his ears on the thick rosewood door of the study, wanting to hear some jaw chatter, but he hated that the door was too thick and the sound insulation was too good, so he could only faintly hear the voices of disputes inside. The face came out, as if he hadn't seen the second daughter, the door god, who was standing at the door, he walked straight out, and the eldest sister Shaoqing followed, her face was stained with tears.

Feng Jiu was taken aback, and just about to say something, the elder sister waved her hand, and quietly went back to her residence, closed the door tightly, and didn't come out all afternoon.

When it was getting late, Fengjiu heard the eldest sister calling in the living room—as for why she didn’t make the call in her own room, it was because her father canceled the phone in her room as soon as she entered college—and called herself Both Feng Jiu and Feng Ling blasted out, their voices were low and indistinct, Feng Jiu and Feng Ling tried their best to eavesdrop, but they couldn't hear Ziwu Maoyou.

Then the elder sister seemed to be waiting for someone's call, paced back and forth, frowning tightly, as if there was something unresolved, Feng Jiu went over to ask lightly, but she didn't say anything.

At noon the next day, she went out in the family car, came back in the evening, and then plunged into her own yard and never came out, knocking on the door and refusing to open it.Fengjiu asked his father worriedly, since his father had finished talking with his eldest daughter, he had always maintained a scary look of avoiding strangers, but since his beloved daughter asked, he still managed to put on a pleasant face, Reassuringly said that the eldest sister will go back to Peking to study soon, but this time, some former high school students in Fengtian who have not entered the school have urgent matters to find her, and they have to deal with them.

Regarding what his father said... Feng Jiu naturally didn't believe a word.

But the worrying thing is yet to come: the next day, the sky is already bright, and it is just in time for the rest day, and the eldest sister should return to school as planned.Feng Jiu went to look for Eldest Sister, only to find when she went in, the door was open, and Eldest Sister was nowhere to be seen; and the servants in her yard hadn't woken up yet, which was weird, so Feng Jiu hurried out to call for someone.

When the housekeeper and Wu Ma arrived, they found out that the three servants had been sleeping soundly for no reason, and they didn't wake up until they were splashed with cold water.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Tang Dafeng didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly notified Tang Du.

Several servants recalled that they drank the jasmine tea brought back from Beiping by the third lady last night, and for some reason fell asleep endlessly.

Tang Du came over immediately, looked inside and out, his eyes gradually turned cold, and suddenly saw Feng Jiu secretly gesturing to him.

Tang Du let others go down, leaving only the second daughter.As soon as Tang Dafeng went out, he hurriedly gathered several servants together and asked them to keep their mouths tight.

Feng Jiu took out a letter from her pocket and handed it to her father - this is what she came in and found that her eldest sister was not there, she went to the bed and fumbled under the pillow.

Tang Du glanced at the second daughter suspiciously, Feng Jiu opened his eyes wide, looking innocent and innocent, but inside he was full of admiration-the eldest sister is so majestic!He actually kicked Young Marshal Ning!Retired!

Once she got the letter, how could she resist not reading it before handing it in?

Tang Du read the letter at a glance, and his face suddenly changed.

Feng Jiu shook his shoulders, carefully avoided his father who was on the verge of rage, and walked briskly back to his room.

After a few days, there was no news from the eldest sister, but Fengjiu was not worried: the eldest sister's intelligence is first-class, she is decisive in doing things, and she has some self-defense skills, so she can live well anywhere But more importantly, apart from stealing the letter, Fengjiu also flipped through her very large jewelry box. Inside, the eldest sister has received a huge amount of jewelry and bank notes for various reasons since she was a child. Missing - money is not lacking, there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, Feng Jiu saw his father's expression was quite strange, he was obviously angry and frustrated, but he also had an indescribable secret joy, even his elder brother's expression was the same, he was worried and happy at the same time.

Feng Jiu felt strange at first, but suddenly he thought about it, and it made sense: Ordinarily, the woman's escape from marriage has already offended the most powerful person in the three eastern provinces, which is really not a small matter.

But the once tragic family history told the head of the Tang family that when it seems that the fire is cooking oil and flowers are blooming, it is the time when they are about to become a living target and be remembered by others. It is definitely in crisis.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between the old handsome and the Japanese is very delicate. On the surface, he can't wait to obey the Japanese. In fact, he didn't do any of the practical things that made him cede the land in the three eastern provinces... sooner or later it will be a matter.

In fact, Feng Jiu watched with cold eyes. His father and elder brother had already started to transfer their property to the United States. Otherwise, how could Tang Dafeng’s son Tang Zhikai learn English and was sent to the United States to take care of the business owned by the Tang family there? Well, I heard that he still maintains a communication frequency of at least two letters a month with his elder brother.

The Ning Mansion is certainly the focus of attention now, but who knows when it will be defeated. The warlords who have been defeated all these years are like crucian carp in the river. Mold, if it is damaged, it will become a reminder.

Who dares to say what will happen in the future.

Therefore, the temporary relaxed mood of father and brother is also understandable. It is better to offend the whole family for a while than to drag the whole family into a pit of fire for a lifetime.

Soon, Fengjiu put aside this careless worry, because in her teenage years, there were still so many fun things to do, and there were so many capable people who cared about her elder sister and family affairs, so she Don't bother.

She asks her elder brother from time to time if there is any news about applying for an American university for herself, because the elder brother undertakes all the internal and external affairs of the family. But what Feng Jiu didn't notice was that although the elder brother still told her that there was no news with a cold face recently, she went back unhappily, but when she turned around, the gaze of the elder brother watching her became more and more complicated .

The application has already been sent out. To be on the safe side, besides Harvard, Feng Jiu also sent application letters to several small and beautiful liberal arts colleges such as Wesley, just in case they do not get the favor of Harvard, there are alternative plans available; As for the recommender, he is looking for Fengjiu's English teacher, Father Lin from Xiaoxiguan Church, a Harvard graduate. He has always loved Fengjiu, a gifted student who is only seen in his life, so Fengjiu has great hopes of being accepted by Harvard. successfully admitted.

Fengjiu’s obsession with Harvard originated from Lin Yutang and Wu Mi, the language masters she has always loved. They both studied at Harvard’s Institute of Comparative Literature. Read voraciously, as satisfied as 'a monkey breaking into a feast of peaches'".This sentence greatly encouraged Fengjiu. She imagined that she would also have such an opportunity. In the intellectual jungle of Harvard, a "university within a university", she was like that happy grand monkey, swinging and jumping between the branches, enjoying herself. Enjoy a feast of fruit.

After a while, there was still no news about the elder sister. My father and elder brother ran all over the place and couldn't find her. However, "no news is good news", and I admire the elder sister's ability [-] times.

Seeing that life at home was going on as usual, she slowly let go of her heart. The old man seemed to be generous.

Fengjiu got up this morning, and as usual, she stayed for a while. Since she was a child, she has always been a little angry when she wakes up.After a while, Tang Buku, the young master of the Tang family who went to bed early and got up early, came to her in a hurry. Feng Jiu's anger immediately dissipated, and he hugged his little nephew with big black grape eyes , kissing his chubby, ruddy face like a forest fruit, so loudly.

The little guy put his arms around the long neck of his favorite sixth aunt, bumped his small body into his aunt's chest, made a sound like a piggy purring, and smiled all over his face, not to mention how proud he was.

Eldest brother Chang Fengjiu is ten years old and has already married. His four-year-old nephew, nicknamed "Buku" is Fengjiu's favorite.

The baby was not easy to be born, the sister-in-law had a difficult labor, the child was born with bruises all over her body, the midwife slapped her left hand and the right hand so that she couldn't make a sound, so she had to announce with regret that the child was hopeless.

The dying sister-in-law is still in the first aid, the always cold and rigid elder brother is doing well, crying like something, just hugging his wife and begging her to work harder, don't leave him behind, and then he simply put the newborn to the side Let it go casually, and don't take your son to heart at all.

At this time, it was a mess inside and out, and no one cared about the rule that girls who have not left the cabinet cannot enter the delivery room.

Fengjiu likes the kind and gentle sister-in-law, she has been walking around in a hurry outside just now, when she finally rushed in regardless of the rules and picked up the little nephew, seeing him half-dead, she quickly rubbed his chest for him on her own initiative, and then opened her mouth Blowing air in for artificial respiration, the other maids and maids saw Miss Six's weird behavior, of course they had seen it for a long time—there was no serious stuff taught in the foreign school, and she was allowed to treat the dead horse as a living horse medical.

Unexpectedly, the nephew who thought he was going to die came back to life, and Feng Jiu wept with joy. At this time, the sister-in-law seemed to have a telepathic connection with the child, and slowly recovered her sanity. The tragedy that was originally thought to be the death of both mother and child was finally reversed into happiness for everyone comedy.

The whole family agreed that Fengjiu had made great contributions, so it was only natural that the sixth aunt named his nephew.

Feng Jiu refused for a while, but felt that it was okay to have a nickname. Remembering the experience of his second nephew who almost went back to reincarnate, Feng Jiu nodded compassionately at a young age: "Let's call it 'Not Bitter'. ——When the bitterness is gone, you will never suffer again for the rest of your life.”

The sister-in-law later swore that when she died and would be able to recognize people, the first time she saw a round of compassionate Buddha light shining from behind Fengjiu.

Feng Jiu: "..."

My sister-in-law is a devout Buddhist believer, and it is not unusual for her to be able to see the light of Buddha.

From then on, Fengjiu saw that Buku was just like his own child, and Buku was born to be attracted to her, clinging to her tightly, spending nearly half of the year with his little aunt.

Buku got bored with his aunt for a while, then went back to accept the teacher's instruction, and stayed until noon, escorted by the girl, happily came to see his aunt again, saying that there were new koi in the mirror lake, and dragged Feng Jiu to watch the fun.

Feng Jiu happily went there, completely forgetting why it was necessary to release the koi after a short while.

Before leaving, she hesitated for a moment, searched with her eyes, and saw a plate of trough cakes that Qiu Sheng had just brought on the study table outside the bedroom, and took them away.

Buku ran ahead, and Feng Jiu followed closely behind him.

After seven turns and eight turns, I arrived at Jinghu Lake along the Jiuqu Corridor. I didn't bother to look back at Fengjiu, and pointed to the lake with my little finger and said excitedly, "Sixth Auntie, look, how beautiful it is!"

Indeed, the pond is full of koi carp, red, white, yellow and black, some of them are motionless, some are struggling to stand up and swing their tails to reach the blossoming lotus with their mouths. They are very agile, and the sun shines on the pond water , making a pungent sound, it is really "Stay still, and go away."

In the past, they ate prepared fish food, but today I changed it to a Chinese pastry, trough cake.

So each of them squeezed some trough cakes and threw them into the water.

The greedy koi came up to them with a "hula", and each opened their mouths to form a big round hole. You bumped into me and bumped into you without giving way to each other, and they competed to eat.

After a while, all the trough cakes were poured into the water, and the aunt and nephew clapped their hands. Those who fed them had a good time, and those who scrambled for food had fun. Looking from a distance, it was like a picture of "mermaids having fun together".

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After a while, Feng Jiu slowly put away his smiling face. It wasn't bitter. And gradually spread, the area is getting bigger and bigger, just like a tanker leaking oil on the sea.

"The oil in this trough cake is so big?" Feng Jiu gasped, and hurriedly imitated it, and also gasped.

"It's not bitter, your father, isn't he the most annoying person to dirty the lake water?" Feng Jiu was at a loss.Every day at this time, it is the time when Tang Fengxian, the eldest brother of Fengjiu, inspects his exclusive territory - Yuchi.

"Yes, Auntie." It's rare that I'm not bitter, but sometimes I'm dumbfounded.

"The wind is tight, huh..." Feng Jiu shook his head and ordered in a low voice. The aunt and nephew, who had always been in tacit understanding, were about to apply oil on the soles of their feet. Unexpectedly, when they turned around and looked up, they saw a big Buddha blocking the road, Feng Jiu The eldest brother, that is, Buku's own father, was staring at the two of them like a dark cloud.

It was rare for Ning Zheng to have nothing to do this day: the military department had no meetings to hold, and it was not time to inspect the barracks. He got up early in the morning and went to the racecourse for a ride. After writing for half an hour, he picked up the important ones from various newspapers and looked at them. Then, Zhi Changsheng watched him pace up and down in the courtyard, so he waited patiently for his orders.

"Go and invite Uncle Hong."

Steward Hong came soon, and Ning Zheng asked directly if he had any contact with the Tang Mansion recently. He knew Feng Jiu's recent whereabouts, and he probably had no plans to go out today—the piano lesson that needed to go out was not today. Melanie's shopping and bookstore shopping also stopped because of her family's unfinished business.

Hong Fu said it was a coincidence, the old man just asked to send the old ginseng that had just been delivered from the mountain goods store in Jilin to the old lady of the Tang family.You are almost in ambush and still eat ginseng?Zhi Changsheng didn't dare to say anything.

Ning Zheng took over the work and drove to Rouge Lane.

Generations of scholars in the Tang Dynasty, when they first turned from the imperial examination to business, after they made a fortune, they built a garden in the style of Liyuan in Wuxi and named it "Wuling Garden".

The owner of Liyuan is Wang Yaochen, the most famous "Flour King" in Shanghai. Although his family is in decline, he is able to work hard. From a shop assistant to the position of general manager and major shareholder of Fuxin Flour Company, Tang Du admires him very much. They have known each other since Wang Yaochen was the representative of another small flour company in Northeast China, and they became inseparable.

So when he heard that the Tang brothers were going to build a garden, Wang Yaochen simply sent his own garden designer and construction team. Tang Du compared Li Garden and slightly modified it according to the architectural characteristics of the north, and it became a scene in Fengtian.

Ning Zheng was dressed in a white suit, grabbed the soft-brimmed straw hat on top of his head, and got out of the car. The concierge saw that it was Young Master Ning, how dare he make him wait?Get someone to report it quickly, and the old housekeeper came quickly and explained that the master of the Tang family was out to meet guests, and now he will accompany him to the Fengze study to find the eldest son of the Tang family.

Ning Zheng walked all the way admiring the scenery, the old housekeeper talked about many interesting things that happened when Tang Mansion built this garden, Ning Zheng listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.

When he was still far away from the study, Ning Zheng noticed two figures sticking to the wall outside the study, one tall, one short, one large and one small. With his excellent eyesight, he immediately recognized that it was Feng Jiuhe, a little boy whom he had never seen before, seemed to have done something wrong and was punished by an adult to stand.

But even if it is punished, these two are not honest. The uncle and nephew are "competing for the old man", that is, using the rules of "rock-paper-scissors" to win or lose. Whoever wins can knock the opponent out.

Obviously the little boy was at a disadvantage.

This girl is out of shape, just look at her stretching out her left hand, curling up her thumb and middle finger, pinching them into a circle, and sending them to her mouth, after a sigh of relief, the little thing standing on the right is several heads shorter Immediately, he frowned and closed his eyes, his face was full of panic, as if he was resigned and waiting to be slaughtered.

The fair skin in the center of his forehead has turned slightly red, it can be seen that this cruel girl has not shown any mercy because of his young age.

Look at the face of this little one who is very similar to Feng Jiuqi, even though he can tell it is a boy at a glance, but his face is beautiful and fresh, there is something that Ning Zheng doesn't understand.

Ever since he met Feng Jiu, he has figured out the situation in the Tang Mansion, which he never cared about before—this is the famous little nephew of Tang Buku.

Tang Dafeng served the distinguished guests along the way, and he couldn't help walking backwards from time to time with his body half on his side. When he found that Ning Sanshao was looking straight ahead without blinking, he couldn't help turning his head with some doubts. When he saw two familiar people standing against the wall When I saw the figure, I suddenly had a toothache.

Tang Dafeng cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Ms. Ning, my Sixth Miss is usually the most educated and reasonable. She is studying well in Tongze Middle School. She has developed morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor in an all-round way. She is rated as an honorary student every year. It’s like this today, just occasionally, occasionally being naughty..." He insisted a few words, wiped his forehead, took a sneak peek, and Ning Zheng solemnly nodded his approval after a "huh".

The two looked at each other, then moved their eyes away in a tacit understanding, and looked at the two sides separately.

Just as Feng Jiu breathed out and wanted to play again, he suddenly heard a voice, turned around and raised his head, just in time to see the uninvited guest walking this way, Feng Jiu immediately turned his back and crossed his arms, staring at Feng in front of him. The unique flower window of Ze study seems to be just passing by the study, and suddenly has a strong interest in this study that has been repaired for five or six years.

Buku was waiting with his eyes tightly closed and his mouth shrunken for the fierce love from Aunt Six. After waiting for a long time without any movement, he quietly observed the situation with his eyes closed, only to see his housekeeper and a tall young uncle is coming towards them.

Tang Dafeng could only call someone, Feng Jiu had no choice but to turn around, with a look of surprise on his face and said, "Ah, it's Mr. Ning here? My brother is in the study, you can talk slowly."

She nodded with a smile on her face, holding back the turmoil in her heart, could it be that the matter of the elder sister's escape from marriage just passed by regardless of the past?After pulling it by hand, he was still in a daze and wanted to leave.

At this time, when the door rang, Tang Fengxian stepped out, presumably he heard the movement at the door.

He was a little surprised why the third young master of the Ning family came to the door in person, and his heart sank, so while exchanging greetings with Ning Zheng, he casually glanced at Feng Jiu. He waved his hand, and finally let Feng Jiu leave with no bitterness.

Tang Feng first let Ning Zheng into the study, stood at the door and couldn't help closing his eyes, and then stepped in. The two tested each other, talked for a long time, and gradually became warm. He admired the situation of the warlords of various factions fighting, and the judgment of Japan and Russia fighting in the Northeast.

Of course, he won't talk about the reason why his sister is standing guard at the door of his study. We are all civilized people, so naturally we will not mention it, and just return to the house with no bitterness and sit comfortably in front of the window to eat tea and fruit. Jiu couldn't help thinking that this Mr. Ning was still useful.

Tang Fengxian didn't show it on the surface, but in fact he already understood the reason for Ning Zheng's visit—I couldn't protect him anymore—he sighed in his heart, and agreed with Ning Zheng, who was talking and laughing at Yan Yan, very naturally. Miss Six asked for a face-to-face meeting.

Seeing Ning Zheng walking towards Fengjiu's "Tingheyuan" under the guidance of the doorman, Tang Fengxian immediately shook the phone and asked his wife to take Buku away.

Fengjiu was a little puzzled as to why his sister-in-law took Buku away so quickly. In the past, he had to wait until he was about to go to bed at night before Buku could go back to his parents. As for sleeping with him directly without going back, that was also a common thing. .

After Buku had left for a while, Qiu Sheng came in with a strange look on her face and announced that Third Young Master Ning had arrived, which made her feel a little weird.

The marriage between Ning Zheng and his eldest sister was shady, and it was shady in a very disgraceful way. It can be seen that his father felt very guilty towards the Ning family. Besides, the Ning family had already become the actual rulers of the Northeast. It is very dangerous. Although the Tang family has their own considerations, they have always been sweating.

However, it is said that the old man was very magnanimous. After all, the times have progressed, and the orders of parents have become obsolete, so he just revealed the past lightly. Seeing his father heaving a sigh of relief a while ago, he was grateful and felt guilty , Fengjiu felt that this was the end of the matter.

Of course, these are all superficial rhetoric. As for the fact that the old handsome justifiably asked for photos of all the Tang family's prostitutes over the age of 14, the adults in the third room did not let the children know.

Ning Zheng was nominally giving ginseng to his grandmother this time, why did he turn around and come to him again?Feng Jiu didn't think he could have any intersection with himself.

Ever since they met at the ice rink and had hot pot, and then there was the drama festival, oh plus the last time Feng Ling fell into the lotus pond, this is the fifth time the two have met.

"Feng Jiu, we meet again." Ning Zheng's voice was very clear and pleasant, like broken silver, just like Feng Jiu, as long as he wanted, he could not have the thick accent of Northeast Mandarin.

Qiu Sheng was thinking about how the living room seemed to brighten up when Ning Sanshao came in, and at the same time retreated to prepare to serve tea.

What Fengjiu was thinking in his heart was that I was punished to stand just now, didn't you all bump into it?Then he felt that the title "Feng Jiu" came out of his mouth, which was a bit harsh, with an inappropriate intimacy.

But this is just a secret psychological activity. On the surface, she still said with a smile: "Mr. Ning, long time no see."

Ning Zheng looked at her, and suddenly smiled: "We're not that familiar, are we? You should call me Ning Zheng." Why not?Feng Jiu felt that this was not a problem, it was no different from calling a classmate.

"I came today because I actually want to discuss something with you." Ning Zheng sat down on the armchair opposite Feng Jiu, crossing his hands casually in front of his stomach.

"Please tell me." Feng Jiu kept smiling and had no idea at all.

Could it be that Ning Zheng actually has a deep-rooted love for the eldest sister, and was caught off guard when his sweetheart regretted the marriage, so now he came to him for help, intending to pry some information and continue the previous relationship?
She also knew that her dramatic thinking, which was full of trains, was not good, so she quickly stopped, sat upright, and listened attentively.

Although he didn't have a close friendship, this third young master Ning should also have a non-procrastinating temperament, which is why Feng Jiu felt that he was actually a little hit with him.

Just looking at his demeanor, Fengjiu inevitably regrets that Ning Zheng can't be his brother-in-law, but when he thinks that if he marries into Ning's family, the eldest sister's promising future will be gloomy and boring, and it is very likely that the future will be turbulent and even bloody. Days later, I immediately felt that my eldest sister was doing the right thing.

"In three days, that is, May [-]th, my father will ask someone to go to your residence to propose marriage." Ning Zheng also hesitated before speaking.

"Ah? Who is it for?" Feng Jiu couldn't make up her mind. For more than half a year, she had always felt that since the elder sister was no longer with him, there should be no more marriage-related matters between Ningtang and Tangfu. After all, it is still very embarrassing to get married and divorce, and this is an unwritten rule at least within the scope of the Chinese cultural circle.

Not only her, but everyone should think so.

"Give it to me, to propose marriage to you." After Ning Zheng finished speaking, his waist straightened a little, and a pair of black eyes shining with starlight fixedly looked at Feng Jiu.

But seeing that Feng Jiu's usually bright eyes were suddenly covered with dullness, it was obvious that she couldn't digest the sudden news immediately.

It wasn't until Ning Zheng walked around the coffee table and walked slowly to Feng Jiu who was sitting on the official hat chair opposite and squatted down that her eyes re-focused and stared blankly at Ning Zheng's face in front of her.

Ning Zheng deliberated and said, "I mean, my elders are going to come to ask you to marry me. I was afraid that you would be surprised, so I came to the door specially today to tell you first."

Ning Zheng watched Feng Jiu's original calm expression suddenly shattered, and his originally motionless chest heaved up and down in an instant, as if he would not be suffocated until he took a few deep breaths.

Just as Feng Jiuteng was about to stand up, Ning Zheng held down her legs firmly. Her eyes turned red suddenly, she lowered her head and stared at him angrily, and tried her best to break his hand with both hands.

"My father won't agree!" Feng Jiu was not idle because he couldn't move his mouth.

"Both your father and my father have agreed, and if you come the day after tomorrow, you will be hired."

"When did it happen?" Fengjiu's tears came out, and she had a premonition that things would not go well this time.

"Just a few days ago." So this is why the Ning Mansion has been giving away shark fin and bird's nest every now and then?Fortunately, she thought it was the old man who was afraid that there would be a rift with her father who had a good relationship with her and tried to appease her. She belatedly remembered that before her father left the house today, when she saw her elder brother punishing her, she said: " I'm still punished, I'm almost at the age of marriage..." Before he finished speaking, his face was full of melancholy...

Feng Jiu wished to bang her head against the wall, this incident had no sense of reality: she felt that Ning Zheng was not bad, no, from the worldly point of view, he was very good, so when the eldest sister ran away from marriage, she still felt a little regretful, but Fall on yourself?It was completely unimaginable that she didn't want such a husband at all.

Feng Jiu suddenly lost all strength and was still in a state of ignorance and shock. Ning Zheng looked at her expression without explaining too much. Although he was reluctant to give up, it was useless to stay any longer. He looked at Feng Jiu , and said softly: "What's the matter, let's talk about it next time; I came today to let you know that this time, our family will not accept divorce again, you have to understand."

Ning Zheng patted Feng Jiu's shoulder reassuringly, stood up, hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his head to press a kiss on the top of her fresh and pleasant-smelling hair, and then left.Qiu Sheng, who wanted to enter the house to serve tea, stood outside after hearing Ning Zheng's words and did not dare to go in. Seeing Ning Zheng's actions at this time, she couldn't help covering her mouth in surprise.

Feng Jiu seemed to be unknown, she only felt that her hair had been touched, and when her consciousness returned to its place, Ning Zheng had already left.

After sitting for a long time, she slowly stood up, only then did she realize that the loyal Qiu Sheng had been standing beside her for an unknown amount of time, looking at her with worried eyes.

"Girl?" The sincere concern in Qiu Sheng's eyes warmed her heart.

"How can it be like this? We Fengtian people don't like this kind of thing? It's not decent to spread it, it makes people laugh!"

But decency is for the powerless to observe. For those in positions of power, they themselves are decency, what other decency do they need?
Fengjiu's hands were trembling uncontrollably, she slowly opened her mouth and bit her fingers, trying to calm down, thinking carefully, something must have happened these few days that she didn't know, and now, in order to save her life What can fate do.

Feng Jiu made up his mind and got up to find his father.

She lingered for a long time outside the Fengze study shared by her father and elder brother, and suddenly wondered in her heart, was this the way the elder sister came back from Beiping to find her father?

"Who is at the door, Jiu'er? Why don't you come in?"

She finally pushed the door open...
