Half fairy

Chapter 67
As a father, he loves his daughter the most. After thinking about it, Mr. Zhong came up with such a plan on the spot, asking his future son-in-law to come to the door on his own initiative.

A bit of a last stubborn taste.

Mrs. Zhong, Wen Jianhui, was not very happy. Her daughter was very old. She finally wanted her son-in-law to come, and she had already brought him. What?

So, before Yu Qing didn't take the initiative to walk into the door of Zhong's house, the husband and wife were hanging on their hearts. They were afraid that they would encounter a stupefied young man. Young people are more prone to impulsiveness. If you don't come to the door, what can you do?Wouldn't it be slapping yourself in the face to invite people back?

This is also what Wen Jianhui was most dissatisfied with, and she repeatedly questioned Zhong Su.

Zhong Su said no, and said that the son trained by the old man would not be so ignorant.

In fact, he is not very bottom.

Now that Yu Qing took the initiative to come to the door, the husband and wife were finally relieved.

It's a good thing, but I have to be so nervous, and I can't blame Wen Jianhui for glaring at her husband.

After a while, Butler Li came with Yu Qing, and the couple in the main hall immediately sat upright and began to stare at Yu Qing, it was really the kind of scrutiny from the hair to the soles of the shoes.

"This is Master and Madam." Butler Li stepped aside after introducing the Zhong family.

Yu Qing's scalp was numb when the eyes of the two who were seated were a little numb, and he respectfully saluted: "Junior Ashheng pays respects to uncle and aunt."

The address was quite satisfactory, and the Zhong couple looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

"Don't be too polite, just sit." Zhong Su gestured for him to sit aside.

Yu Qing thanked him, took off the sword from his waist and sat beside him, following the rules.

The servant served tea, Yu Qing nodded again and thanked him.

The Zhong family stared at Yu Qing for a while, and found that the young man was not bad, his spirit was quite good, and he was not comparable to ordinary traders and pawns. At least there was nothing wrong with his appearance. Wen Jianhui secretly nod.

Zhong Su didn't mention the fact that Yu Qing was sneaking around outside the Zhong Mansion, he raised his hand and gestured to the height, "You were only so old when you left the capital. You are a little taller than you. In the blink of an eye, we are getting old, and you have become a big boy." He looked at his wife.

Wen Jianhuici smiled and nodded, "Yeah, time flies so fast, we are getting old in a blink of an eye, and the young people are getting older."

Yu Qing said politely, "Uncle and aunt are in their prime, and they don't look old at all."

Zhong Su waved his hand, indicating that he was exaggerating, and continued to ask questions according to common sense, "Farewell to the capital, I have never seen your parents again, are your parents in good health?"

"..." Yu Qing remained silent, subconsciously looking at Du Fei and Li Fangchang.

Zhong Su saw that he seemed to have concerns, and said with a smile: "They are Li Fangchang and Du Fei, both of whom your father arranged for me back then, your father should have told you? They are the housekeepers and guards of the Zhong Mansion now. Chief, you and I are in front of them, but it's okay to talk about it."

Yu Qing was stunned for a moment. Both the housekeeper and the chief guard of the Zhong Mansion belonged to Ah Jiezhang?Ashheng hadn't really told him about this.

After being silent for a while, Yu Qing said slowly: "My father passed away last year, and my mother, brothers, and sisters died on the way out of Beijing that year."

"What?" Zhong Su stood up suddenly, pale in shock, and said in unison with Du Fei and Li Fangchang.

Wen Jianhui was startled, she couldn't believe it.

Du Fei has walked out from the side to the opposite side of Yu Qing, and said solemnly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yu Qing also stood up and continued to say slowly: "The family was banished from Beijing, and they were intercepted by a group of masked men on the way. Mother and brothers died tragically on the spot. The murderer intended to kill them all, including the accompanying guards and servants. Don’t let it go. In order to protect me, my father also suffered several knives and was disabled for life. Fortunately, the helper arranged by my father in advance arrived, and my father and I only took a life…”

A period of tragic past was recounted, and it was always said that Ajiezhang felt that his time was running out and began to let him officially participate in the scientific examination.

Everyone present was shocked by the silence, and Zhong Su and his wife were even more stunned. They never thought that the dignified former Yubu Langzhong would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair in a mountain village for so many years. It was unimaginable.

Li Fangchang and Du Fei showed grief on their faces, but finally Du Fei broke the peace and asked in pain, "Who is the murderer?"

Yu Qing shook his head, "I don't know, I suspect it's someone from the court."

Zhong Su's face was solemn, "Although your father was banished from the capital back then, the guards around him were by no means weak, and it would not be easy to have the strength to kill all the people in your father's group. Your father's situation back then was very complicated, who was the murderer? It’s not easy to speculate, you can talk about some things here, but don’t talk about it outside.” After speaking, he sighed, “It’s no wonder that Mr. Ah has not exposed his seclusion place for so many years, and only occasionally sends letters anonymously. It turns out that That tragedy happened back then."

Those who are sensible can understand, completely dormant, not endangering themselves, and not involving others.

I also understand why the father didn't send a letter in time for this man who went to Beijing to take the exam. The son didn't even pass the township exam, and the father was already dead.

And Yu Qing couldn't help but ask his doubts, "How did you know that I came to the capital?"

Zhong Su glanced at Du Fei.

Du Fei, who had a sad expression on his face, didn't hide it from him, "The noodle stall is the eyeliner arranged by the Zhongfu on the periphery, and there are always a few like you every year."

Last night...Yu Qingning choked, he never thought that he would be planted in an inconspicuous small noodle stall. He thought that his little tricks were very clever, but he underestimated the ability of the big family. This lesson really helped him to remember. It's not the Zhong family who shot this time, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died, I'm afraid after thinking about it...

In front of the dressing table, Zhong Ruochen looked at himself in the mirror, unspeakably nervous and uneasy.

I used to suspect that my sister was lying, but now my mother has personally confirmed that she does have a fiancé, and she will come to the door today.

The point is that the mother said what the father meant. Since the other party has come this time, the marriage for them will be put on the agenda. Probably after the Beijing meeting, the couple will be married.

This kind of thing came so unexpectedly, her heart was a mess.

I don't know what my fiance looks like, and I don't know if my appearance can satisfy the other party.

At this moment, Wen Ruowei dressed up as a maid directly pushed the door and barged in, ran over excitedly, leaned over her sister's shoulder, and said in her ear, "Sister, I saw it, I saw it, I really saw it. Sister, do you want to know what my brother-in-law looks like? Give me something, and I'll tell you."

Zhong Ruochen spat, "I don't want to know."

"Yo, I don't want to know." Wen Ruowei wanted to hold back, but she couldn't hold back because of her temperament, so she couldn't help but say it herself, "Forget it, I owe the benefits first, Who called me your sister. Sister, I saw that my brother-in-law is tall and thin, very spirited, heroic, and quite handsome. Sister, you haven’t waited in vain all these years, and your parents still You are considered to be discerning, and there is definitely no shortage of literary talent to be admitted to Juren, sister, you are getting a big deal this time!"

Zhong Ruochen said that he didn't want to know, but in fact he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, his heart was pounding like a deer, his cheeks were blushing and intoxicating, there was a little sweetness, and his eyes were full of love. Looking at myself in the mirror, I became more and more worried about whether my future husband would like her appearance...

Cao Mansion, in the small courtyard in the corner of the big mansion, Xu Fei was leading the Cao family servants to point and ask to buy the necessary things.

The Cao Mansion was his uncle's house, and it was too late to make temporary preparations when yesterday came. Besides, some things could not be prepared in advance, so he needed his own opinion.

It is not a day or two to stay in Beijing, and it will take nearly a month to leave for the exam. The preparation time for the exam is very important this month. Affecting his preparation for the exam is a major event in the Cao Mansion at the moment, and it was explained by the head of the family.

A burly man came from outside the courtyard. He was dressed in brocade and had a short beard. He had a dignified appearance. He was somewhat similar to Xu Fei. It was Xu Fei's uncle, Cao Xinggong. It is exactly reflected on the body.

The busy servants stopped immediately, and they all saluted, "Master!"

Xu Bo, who was pointing fingers, looked back, and suddenly approached with joy on his face, bowed his hands to greet him, and said, "Uncle, you are finally back. Nephew Xu Bo, see you uncle!"

Cao Xinggong: "Well, I just came back. I couldn't catch up with you yesterday, and I really couldn't get away from something. Don't take it to heart, I'll make it up for you today."

Xu Fei said excitedly, "No, it's too late to see my uncle happy."

Cao Xinggong patted him on the shoulder and squeezed, "I haven't seen him for three or four years, but he's grown so big that I almost don't recognize him."

Xu Fei: "Uncle's appearance hasn't changed, but I recognized my nephew at a glance."

Cao Xinggong squeezed his shoulders and shook it, feeling quite emotional, "I didn't expect that the little manniu who wiped his nose back then was admitted to Juren, and the name 'Hengqiu Xubo' was even heard in Beijing. I thought it was the same name, but after confirming it, I can't believe it! Uncle's face is also bright, but I always boast that 'Hengqiu Xubo' is my nephew!"

Xu Bo looked at the servants around him and said embarrassedly, "It's just a fluke, it made my uncle laugh."

"You can't say that." Cao Xinggong waved his hand, wondering if he wanted to tell the servants, and said loudly: "I received a letter from your family saying that you were admitted to Juren, and I was surprised, and I agree with your family's statement. I thought it was luck. After that, you overwhelmed the whole state with your urgency and won the first place, and even one of the frontier officials shouted for you... Once it can be said to be luck, but twice in a row is not only It’s just luck, you still need some strength, so you don’t have to be too self-effacing.”

Well, Xu Bo smiled awkwardly, it's not easy to tell the truth in front of outsiders.

Cao Xinggong looked left and right and waved: "You all retreat."

So a group of servants left the yard one after another.

After the outsiders were gone, Cao Xinggong raised his chin again and signaled, "Go to your study to have a look."

Xu Fei didn't know what he meant and led him there.
