Xu Xuzhi

Chapter 9
Time flies fast, and it has entered the end of May in a blink of an eye. This year's Fengtian solar terms are a bit strange. Summer came too early, and the weather is already very hot.

Feng Jiu asked his eldest brother to help him choose an American "Sea Feili" fountain pen with precise ink-filling structure for Ning Zheng.

Ning Zheng took it in his hand and played with it a few times. He looked at the delicate small script with hairpin flowers on the attached thank you card, took out the pen case, and carefully looked at the ink-black pen that was purely masculine like a small dagger. He knew in his heart that , must have been bought by someone.

I really don't care.

With a sneer, he casually gave the pen to Bi Datong. The officer, who was still a pen lover, was overjoyed, and he put away the letter of thanks.

He then called Feng Jiu for a meeting, Feng Jiu declined without exception, and Ning Zheng never contacted again.

Feng Jiu repaid the favor, feeling relaxed.

On Ning Zheng's side, Ning Shuai waited for his son to come back with great difficulty, so naturally he would not let him relax, one pile after another was pressed on him, and Ning Zheng was so busy that even if he wanted to, he had to put military affairs first. It took half a month to go out of the province.After finally being free today, and it happened to be another day off, it suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't seen her for almost a month.

However, Feng Jiu is now fully focused on preparing to study abroad, and has no other distractions, which is good, saving effort and worry.

After thinking for a while, he still shook the phone to answer Tang Mansion, said a few words on the phone, drove out, and went straight to Wuling Garden.

At the side door, Steward Tang was already waiting to greet him with a smile: "Third Young Master, the master just happened to discuss some matters with a guest from Shanxi, and it will be over in a while. You go in with me first, and you will have to sit in the living room for a while." .”

Of course Ning Zheng nodded and said yes, and walked inside, chatting along the way, seemingly unintentionally asking, "Is Miss Six at home?"

Tang Dafeng's ability to be a housekeeper for so many years in the home of Tang Du, a business leader in the Northeast, shows that he is really superior. From the last time he saw Ning Zheng, he felt like a mirror in his heart.

Of course, he wouldn't ask you why you know my Sixth Miss, but he replied courteously: "I just saw Sixth Miss playing in the lotus pond, and you will meet when you pass by in a while."

Ning Zheng nodded, and soon they came to the lake, and the lotus leaves in the sky were mighty, even if they were flowers, if the flowers were large enough and there were enough numbers, they would be quite powerful when they gathered together.

Suddenly hearing a burst of cheerful laughter, Ning Zheng stopped and looked up, only to see several water chestnut buckets the size of bathtubs floating in the clear waves.At this time of year, the lotus pods haven't grown yet, let alone water chestnuts, but it doesn't delay Fengjiu, a boy and a girl each with a bucket, sitting in it and having fun.

Each of the three of them has a big green lotus leaf on their heads, and they are all short skirts and loose trousers. Even though the summer sun is pouring down unobstructed, they still play regardless.

Ning Zheng's eyes found Feng Jiu, and he immediately concentrated his attention on her: Feng Jiu was wearing a moon-white linen gauze short-sleeved jacket, and his forearms were bare, glowing white. The lotus root arm is so expressive and appropriate, looking at this fresh, white and greasy arm, it is really possible to mistake it for a lotus root.

The water chestnuts were originally paddled by hand, but they were all equipped with short oars.

Holding the oars in both hands, Feng Jiu was struggling to paddle deep into the lotus, not forgetting to urge the two behind him to follow.

There was a small boat parked less than two meters away from them, rippling with the water from time to time, and it was clear at a glance that they had arrived in the lotus bushes in the middle of the lake in this boat.

Butler Tang introduced wittily: "The ones behind are Miss Seven and the nephew of the third grandmother of the Tang family, Master Wei Yuanhua."

Ning Zheng didn't speak, and frowned slightly, watching this Young Master Wei who looked about the same age as Feng Jiu catch up to Feng Jiu a few times, stretched out his hand to grab her water chestnut, said something, and then heard Feng Jiu A slightly naive voice came: "Okay, tiger head, I got it, I won't go any further, you, you are prematurely aging, nagging like a little old man, I see who will dare to marry you in the future! "

Because the boy was far away and his back was facing them, he couldn't see his face, but from the back, he had broad shoulders and a thin waist, his upper body was in a perfect inverted triangle, and his neck was exposed under the lotus leaf. Slender, with fair complexion, and his appearance is not bad at all.

Ning Zheng suddenly saw Feng Jiu flinch, and then burst out laughing, the boy was splashing water with his hand, as if splashing Feng Jiu.

Another girl's shrill laughter followed: "Brother Hutou, yes, hit her, hit her hard! Sixth Sister is the worst!" It seems that she also suffered from Feng Jiu's secret loss just now.

Tang Dafeng coughed lightly: "Third Young Master, do you want to call Miss Six back?"

"No, I was bothering Butler Tang just now. I'm not in a hurry, so I'll just sit here and wait for her to come back. I just happened to have something to tell her about today."

Tang Butler said yes, and turned around to do his own business.

He walked back along the corridor by the lake, and when he was about to turn around, he looked back at Ning Zheng calmly. Afraid of the glare of the noon sun, he stared at the movements of the people in the lotus pond without blinking, as if this was the most important thing in the world.

Butler Tang was secretly startled. If his hunch was correct... He shook his head, took a few steps, and left.

Feng Jiu and the others were having fun, completely oblivious to the movement on the shore.Feng Ling, who is nine or four years younger than Feng Ling, saw his sister and Brother Hutou going further away one after the other. When he was in a hurry, he forgot his sister's instructions and paddled a small paddle very fast. The further she went, when she realized that something was wrong, she could only scream again and again, and then she fell into the lake with a "plop". His head was not fully submerged in the water, and he continued to struggle and scream.

When Feng Jiu and Hu Tou heard this, they hurriedly looked back, only to find that Feng Ling had fallen into the water.

Hutou quickly jumped out of the water chestnut barrel to rescue Feng Ling, Feng Jiu also rowed back anxiously.The tiger's head was very watery, and with a sharp plunge, it was near the place where Fengling fell into the water. He quickly supported Fengling's body, and Fengling turned around and hugged the tiger's head; the little girl was very clever and did not follow Generally, people who fell into the water panicked and strangled the rescuer's neck, so Hu Tou easily took her to the side boat, supported her body and pushed her up, Feng Ling followed a small boat. Lying upright on the boat like a dead dog, all that was left was panting.

Ning Zheng has been paying close attention to the development of the situation since just now, and if the situation is critical, he will go up by himself. After seeing that Feng Ling has successfully escaped, he quickly walked out of the corridor to find a passing girl, and asked her to bring a blanket quickly.After all, although Feng Ling was young, he was drenched all over, so it was inconvenient to go all the way back to the room like this.

Feng Jiu was relieved when he saw it, and waved his hands, telling Hutou, who was looking back at her, to quickly take Feng Ling ashore and leave her alone.

Although the weather was hot, Hutou was also afraid that Feng Ling, who had been weak all the time, would catch a cold, so he called Feng Jiu to be careful, while he quickly paddled his oars and returned to the shore with Feng Ling.

Just at this time the little girl brought two blankets, Ning Zheng asked the little girl to carry the blankets to meet her, while she turned her back, let the little girl wrap Feng Ling carefully, and helped her back to the room.Although Feng Ling was startled, she didn't mean to be scared. She smiled gratefully at Hutou, who waved at her, telling her to go back and change quickly.

Hutou is also soaked now, with a lot of water and weeds on it, and his appearance is a bit funny, but Ning Zheng can still tell that this is a pretty young boy, only a little shorter than himself, with a naturally cold complexion, his eyes Handsome and handsome.

It took Ning Zheng a long while before he said, "It's classmate Wei, right? You should go back and change quickly. Miss Six is ​​here. I'll just keep an eye on her and make sure she goes ashore safely."

Hutou was only focused on saving people just now, so he had time to look at the man who appeared out of nowhere, he was tall, handsome and imposing.

When he saw the man finished speaking, he naturally put his eyes on Feng Jiu who was paddling towards the shore. His eyes made people uncomfortable out of thin air, and he said the words of refusal: " How can I be embarrassed? I'm fine, and she will be back soon. "

Ning Zheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at him, and didn't insist anymore, one of them was wrapped in a blanket, the other with his hands in his pockets, waiting for Feng Jiu, who was paddling towards the shore vigorously.

After a while, Fengjiu, who looked thin but was actually very strong, reached the shore. He hurriedly stood up and wanted to go ashore to see his sister, but who knew that he got up too violently and suddenly leaned forward. He made a mistake in his busy schedule and almost Also plunged into the water.

Ning Zheng was about to stretch out his hand, but how could it compare to Feng Jiu who knew that something would go wrong, so he calmly approached Hutou on the shore before he had time. Nine, the blanket on his body was also taken off.The bodies of the two were tightly pressed together, and Ning Zheng's expression on the side obviously sank.

Feng Jiu's clothes were thin, and the moon-white jacket was soaked by the tiger's wet outer shirt, which was dripping down. Ning Zheng even saw the new style of light blue bra inside.

Feng Jiu didn't feel anything, but Ning Zheng turned around, and Hu Tou moved quickly to pick up the blanket and put it on Feng Jiu.

Feng Jiu smiled at him comfortably: "Tiger head, thank you for your quick response, otherwise my big spirit son would have been in bed for another half a month if I had been soaking in the water for a while longer."

Hutou embarrassed her angrily: "You are exaggerating, and you don't know how to look at the water properly."

Feng Jiu rolled his eyes to the side, only then did he realize that the person on the bank whom he had just vaguely seen just now was actually Ning Zheng.

"Mr. Ning? When did you come here? Oh, I made you laugh." Feng Jiu greeted Ning Zheng embarrassedly. How could she have imagined that Ning Zheng would have watched the drama just now? Think about her stepmother Lu He couldn't help but get dizzy because of how precious he was to Feng Ling, and this time it happened after him.

Ning Zheng smiled: "I came to discuss something with Uncle Tang today, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Since there is nothing else, I will leave."

Feng Jiu wished that he would leave quickly, after all, they were just ordinary friends who had met several times, and he and Hutou were in such a state of embarrassment now that they really didn't want to continue the exhibition for outsiders.

Ning Zheng said goodbye to Feng Jiu and Hutou Ke politely, and turned to leave. His extraordinary ear power allowed him to continue to accurately receive the naughty conversations of boys and girls sent by Xia Rihefeng:
"Tiger head, you saved Feng Ling's life again, so why not let her learn to swim by taking advantage of this shareholder's wind."

"You said it as if you knew it by yourself. I think you should learn it from me first, so as to show her. When she sees that even someone as stupid as you can learn it, she will naturally have the confidence to learn it."

"Oh, you actually said I was stupid?! Are you tired of working?!"

"Aren't you stupid? Who went to Bayuquan to learn to swim and drink water last time? After you left, the Hydrographic Bureau measured that the sea level dropped several centimeters. It was only later that I found out that it was drunk by Fengtian Tang Xiaoliu. going down..."

Hearing another scream of pain, Ning Zheng, who had already walked under the willow tree hanging like a green curtain, couldn't help turning his head anymore. Under the cover of the green screen, he saw the handsome young man who was drenched all over. One of his ears has fallen into a slender hand, and he is twisting it like twisting twists, and the other hand is poking the boy's forehead: "Are you still flirting? Ah? Are you still flirting? Is it long? Memory? Do you want to see the sun tomorrow?!"

The handsome young man repeatedly begged for mercy: "Tang Xiaoliu, you are not kind! Just now, who! Saved you from falling into the lake and humiliating yourself in front of outsiders? It was me! Your tiger-headed brother !"

"You have the nerve to say that?! Bringing two younger sisters to swim in the lake, you want to fold in the second one if you fold in one? You are not doing it for my face, you are doing it for your own face... Didn’t you want Third Aunt to interrupt the broom?”

Ning Zheng looked gloomy, silently watching the scene in the distance, and then slowly turned his head.In all fairness, this scene couldn't be more beautiful—boys and girls of the same age, so youthful, so beautiful, so well-matched, but it's so... dazzling.

"Outsider...", this Wei Yuanhua is indeed beautiful, but that's all, but he grew up together since he was five years old...

Originally, when he first heard about it, Ning Zheng didn't care much. After all, he was just an orphan with a poor family and his parents died. With such a background, it was difficult to find a wife. of.

However, looking at it this way today... some things have to be done, which may not be glorious, but he, Ning Zheng, doesn't want to, let alone care, and always be an upright person.
