Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 87 Name
It is a deserted day.

The Gonggulou was empty, not a single drinker, because today is the anniversary of Mrs. Haitang's death.

Qingqiu's fox spirits had already rushed to the Begonia Forest to pay their respects, only Su Ji did not go.

It's not that he disdains memorial service, it's just that he has experienced too many sad things and seen too many sad people.He is always reluctant to go to places that make people sad.

At this moment, he was standing on the stairs leading to the fourth floor, quietly looking at a little girl.

The little girl was wearing a plain white feather gauze dress, and she was sitting by the guqin, her little hands gently stroking the strings.

Su Ji could see that she seemed to like the guqin very much, and the position she was sitting at this time was exactly where Hu Si sat when she played the piano 36 years later.

Although he had never seen Hu Si when she was young, he recognized immediately that this little girl was Hu Si from 36 years ago.

A day passes outside the Begonia Forest, and a year passes inside the Begonia Forest.The time in the two places is completely different, and the method of recording the year and month is also different.For the fox spirits in Qingqiu who live in the Gonggu Building, today is a special day, but for the little fox living in the Begonia Forest, it is the most ordinary day.

At this moment, the begonia forest was bound to be filled with crying and crying, so little fox Si would rather choose to come to this quiet place alone.Maybe it wasn't the first time for her to sit by the guqin, but it was the first time for Su Ji to see it.Now that he saw it, he couldn't help but want to strike up a conversation:

"If you like it, it's yours."

Little Hu Si looked up at Su Ji for a while, then shook her head and said:
"Xiao Si can't take it away. I heard that my aunt and uncle got married downstairs yesterday. This thing may be the token of love that Dad mentioned! Look! There are words engraved on it."

Su Ji looked at the words on the piano and said with a smile: "I carved that word on it. Now that the husband and wife have achieved a positive result, it has also become a decoration. I know that today is your mother's death day and your birthday. I will make it myself I suggest that I borrow the qin to present the fox, and give it to you as a birthday present for your uncle."

"Beast gift?" Little Hu Si blinked blankly, as if hearing this word for the first time, "This is the first time Xiao Si has received a beast gift."

Although she didn't know what the "beast ritual" was, and didn't know whether the person in front of her really had the right to give this long-awaited thing, but she knew that she liked this person's smile very much.Part of the reason is that in the Begonia Grove, she rarely meets the same kind, especially the kind who smiles so softly.

At this moment, her young heart began to develop a little affection for the smiling Su Ji.

Su Ji went to Guqin and introduced:

"This is a fine Zhou Qin, also known as the civil and military lyre. It is worth cherishing."

Little Hu Si nodded vigorously, and responded straight away: "If possible, Xiao Si hopes to learn it one day and be able to play it for you by hand."

After finishing speaking, she dialed a tone with her immature hands, looked up at Su Ji and smiled.

Looking at her joyful face, Su Jido hoped that the genuine smile would last forever.However, thinking that Hu Si would be separated from her father in the near future, Su Ji couldn't help sighing softly.

"Why are you sighing?" Little Fox Si blinked and asked, "Is it because I play badly? Or is it because I'm not pretty enough?"

Su Ji shook his head and said with a smile, "When you grow up, you will be very beautiful."

"If I grow up to be as beautiful as my aunt, will you marry me like my uncle?"

Su Ji was stunned for a moment, tapped her small forehead with his hand, and said:

"You, at such a young age, your head is full of strange ideas!"

"Not too young! I'm already nine years old!" Hu Si pouted her lips and said, "I heard that you are only three hundred years older than Xiao Si. Daddy said that three hundred years old is just a child! Besides You spend a day here, and I will spend a year in Haitang Forest. As long as I stay in it, one day I will be older than you!"

Su Ji frowned slightly.He knew that now he was not Su Ji, but Hu Qi.Hu Qi will die in a day, and Hu Si will definitely feel sad because of this incident, and even her young heart is full of hatred.

In order not to make her too sad, Su Ji said to her:
"Qingqiu Huling's life is very long, and he will meet many people. The person you think you like today may not be the one you love all your life."

"I don't care! In short, what Xiao Si believes will never change! It doesn't matter how many hundreds or thousands of years have passed! What I like is not your age! What I like is the soul in your body! If you don't let Xiao Si like you, then Xiao Si will secretly like you, and you don't know it anyway!"

After all, Hu Si stood on tiptoe, without warning, kissed Su Ji's face with her pink lips, and suddenly turned into a little fox and ran away!
Su Ji felt his heart beating faster, and couldn't help but take a step back.Although the fox in front of him is just a child, in Su Ji's mind she will be the fox in 36 years.That awkward Hu Si, that Miss Hu Si with a serious temper, that Hu Si who called him "smelly drunkard" all day long.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.If Fox Si 36 years later knew what happened here today, how would she feel?
Looking at the back of Hu Si leaving, Su Ji felt indescribable liking and reluctance in her heart. She really hoped that she would always be as happy as today, always be as innocent as a child, and never be obliterated by hatred.

After little Hu Si turned into a fox and jumped out of the door, there was a sudden exclamation from outside the door, as if she had bumped into someone.

Then, a man and a woman walked in the door.

Seeing these two people coming in, Su Ji greeted them with a smile and put them in the best position.

This couple is none other than Xibo Jifu and Yu Hongzhi.

After arranging the food and wine, Su Ji said with a smile, "It seems that you and your wife haven't forgotten me as a great matchmaker."

"It's better to have a new wife, but it's better to have an old brother!" Xibo Jifu put his arms around Su Ji's neck and said with a warm smile; "Brother Xian, don't you think so?"

As soon as the words fell, Yu Hongzhi suddenly grabbed her husband's ear and said coquettishly, "It's better to have a new wife? You think I'm deaf, right?"

Su Ji laughed and teased: "Don't forget, you have a wife who is in the ninth realm of Xuanqing. The new one... you should give up on it."

After all, Su Ji drank a big bowl of wine.

Yu Hongzhi looked at Su Ji, let go of his ear, and his slightly angry eyes softened.She elbowed her husband and said:

"Fu Lang, you haven't told me the name of benefactor yet."

Xibo Jifu had just drank a bowl of wine, he hesitated for a while, but didn't answer right away.

Su Ji drank a bowl of quick wine, couldn't help talking quickly, and hurriedly replied: "My name is Su Ji!"

Yu Hongzhi repeated in a low voice: "Su Ji, Season of Recovery. Not a bad name."

A trace of surprise flashed across Xibo Jifu's eyes, and he said, "Brother Xian, this is the first time I've heard you mention this name..."

Su Ji suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue after drinking, so he couldn't help changing the subject, and said, "That's right! If you have a child, what name do you plan to name?"

This time it was Yu Hongzhi's turn to rush forward and say, "I've already made up my mind, it's called Jiannan! The sword points to the southeast!"

"Bitch?" Su Ji repeated, frowning.

Xibo Jifu clung to Su Ji's ear and muttered in a low voice: "You think it's ugly too. I've tried to persuade her to change it many times, but I just can't get her out of it!"

Yu Hongzhi frowned, and said coquettishly, "What are you two muttering about? Think I'm deaf again, right?"

Xibo Jifu coughed on purpose, and said, "It's better not to call him a bitch, just follow your benefactor, and also take the character Ji. Our child's name is Ji, Shixi, and the word Boqi."

Yu Hongzhi thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine. We can commemorate this benefactor who helped us. Fu Lang thought carefully, I'll listen to you."

Su Ji thought to himself that his real name was Xi Ji, and his courtesy name was Boqi.He finally knew his name, and he couldn't help feeling an indescribable excitement in his heart.He looked at his parents excitedly, and couldn't help asking another question:
"If your child is born. What would you most like to teach him?"

Yu Hongzhi thought for a while, and replied: "I don't ask him to be a hero, but I only hope that he can become a chivalrous gentleman. Master once taught me: A gentleman is like a sword, wisdom is the edge, courage is the spirit, and virtue is the handle. , It can also turn fingers into softness. Although it is not as strong as a knife, it can also be slanted. A gentleman establishes his life, does not ask right and wrong cause and effect, but seeks to be innocent."

Su Ji nodded vigorously.

Xibo Jifu also thought for a while, and said loudly:
"I want to teach him to be three-point frivolous and seven-point deep, so that he can remain invincible." After finishing speaking, he looked out the window into the distance, his eyes filled with infinite hope, and he couldn't help sighing: "Our children, if we can catch up Brother Shangxian, half of you. We will be satisfied."

Su Ji lowered his eyes and choked up, "These words... your children will hear them sooner or later."

Yu Hongzhi and Xibo Jifu looked at each other suspiciously, but neither of them said anything.

Su Ji slowly recovered and touched his face.Unknowingly, I actually burst into tears.He wiped it on his face indiscriminately, smiled awkwardly, and drank the wine on his own.

At this time, Xibo Jifu exchanged glances with his wife next to him, and then his expression became solemn. He raised a glass of wine in front of Su Ji, and said:
"Brother Xian, you and I have similar interests and the same drinking capacity. Why don't we get married with Jinlan?"

As soon as the words were finished, a sip of wine from Su Ji's mouth suddenly spewed out!More than coughing!

Xibo Jifu patted him on the back and said, "It's just sworn marriage, don't be so excited."

Su Ji wiped his mouth, thinking that his biological father actually proposed to be sworn brother to him?Although Su Ji was not a rigid person, and thought this incident sounded very interesting, but it happened to him at this moment, and he would never agree to it no matter what.He smiled stiffly, waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Shemale is different, you still don't want to get too close to me, lest others gossip."

"So you're worried about this." Xibo Jifu said with a relieved smile, "What does it matter? Didn't Hongzhi also make a sworn vow with the owner of Haitang? When we have a child, we will recognize you as a godfather."

Su Ji put down his wine glass and shook his head, feeling that things were getting more and more absurd.Be your own godfather?There is nothing more absurd than this.

"Don't mention this matter again... Drink! Drink!"

At this moment, Xi Bojifu's expression became unnatural.He is a majestic grand master of the Zhou Dynasty, one person is under ten thousand people.How many people in the world wanted to cling to him, but he rejected them all.But today he never expected that Su Ji would refuse.

At this moment, the surrounding atmosphere became a little dull.

Yu Hongzhi noticed that her husband's face had darkened.

Xibo Jifu was drunk, and said in a slightly displeased tone:
"Brother Xian! Do you think I, Ximou, are not worthy to be your brother?"

Su Ji shook his head, "Of course not."

"Then don't you despise our husband and wife?"

Su Ji shook his head again, "Not really."

"Why exactly?"

Su Ji was silent for a moment, remembering that Mr. Haitang once emphasized that once Hu Qi's identity was revealed, he would definitely be killed.But right now, his biological father is so sincere that he can't refuse no matter what.

Facing the danger of his own life and the sincerity of his loved ones, how should he choose?

At this moment, his heart became more and more conflicted, and his palms were already clenched in cold sweat.
