blue bird song

Chapter 14
Ning Guogong laughed loudly, "Okay, our green sparrow is going to fly!" He stretched out his strong arms to support the green sparrow and let her fly around in the air.Qingque smiled happily, and the silver bell-like laughter spread far and far.

No matter what they think in their hearts, the members of Duke Ningguo's family all looked at the old and the young with smiles on their faces, as if they were very happy.Even Xun Shi, the Duke's wife who loves the injury of her beloved son and is dissatisfied with Qingque, smiled jokingly and did not show any strangeness.

The eldest son, Deng Hui, was sitting on the side of the road, watching his father play with Qingque, quite embarrassed.Well, the first time we met, my grandfather was tripped by his little granddaughter!Girl, I lost all face when I was tripped by you.

Standing beside Deng Hui are two beautiful teenagers, they are his concubine sons, one is Tianlu and the other is Wuxie.Like Deng Hui, Tian Lu smiled in embarrassment, feeling that he couldn't hold back.Wu Xie tsk tsk, "Are you sure this is the eldest brother's exiled daughter? The girl is really good, give the little uncle such a gift!"

Qingque was still giggling in the air, dust was flying in the distance, and a dozen tall horses galloped over like lightning.The horse is majestic, the man is sturdy, and the steel knife in his hand is shining white, which is frightening.

"Who is it?" Deng Yong stopped, hugged Qingque in his arms, and looked towards the dusty place.There was already a guard with sharp eyes and quick hands beside him, who rode up to greet him, "Who is here?"

"The person I want to stumble is here." Qingque giggled, "Fortunately, he escaped this catastrophe."

Ning Guogong was slightly taken aback, secretly suspicious in his heart.Was Qingque trying to trip them up?Looking at the aura of those who came, it should be a strong soldier, not a mob.Qingque, who did you mess with?

"Who are you planning to trip up?" Ning Guogong asked kindly.

"Zhang Hu." Qing Que told him both his first and last name, "His name means blessing, and it looks beautiful when written."

Zhang Hu?Isn't that the son of the Duke of England?As Ning Guogong thought about it, there was a moment of confusion ahead, as if a fight had broken out.Not long after, two black horses galloped side by side, and when they got close, they stopped abruptly.

Immediately, two teenagers sat upright, one whom Qingque knew was Zhang Hu.The other was two or three years older than Zhang Hu, with handsome features and high spirits. He jumped off the horse and said with a smile, "Grandfather, what a coincidence, I met the British prince here."

"This is the prince of the United Kingdom?" There was a moment of confusion on the side of the female family members, chatting in twos and threes, "It is rumored that the prince of the United Kingdom is described as beautiful, and he can be called the most beautiful man in the capital. Now it seems that what he said is true! "

The British Duke's Mansion is the most luxurious and most favored Duke's mansion in the capital.The eldest son of the British government is a model for the children of the princes of the capital. He is young and has made great military exploits.What's even more rare is that he looks extremely handsome and has an extremely personable demeanor.

Zhang Hu was wearing a sapphire blue brocade gown. The soft silk shone charmingly in the sun, making his clear and clear face even more beautiful, like a bright moon in the blue sea and blue sky, and like the newly fallen snow in the early winter morning.

Quietly looking at Qing Que twice, Zhang Hu felt bored.This little girl seems quite at ease in Ning Guogong's arms?Qingque, you really don't recognize life.

Qing Que looked at him with a smile, not to mention the regret in her heart.After discussing with him for a long time and saying many good things, he reluctantly came out to fight such a battle.The result was good, being disturbed by this group of inexplicable people, it didn't trip him after all.

Zhang Hu jumped off the horse, greeted Ning Guogong, and asked for the blue sparrow, "I'm really sorry, this junior was playing with this child. She tripped the horse to trip me, but accidentally tripped the wrong person."

Qing Que was very dissatisfied, "Who told you to come late? If you come half an hour earlier, I won't be caught, I have to torture carefully!"

Ning Guogong's arm holding Qing Que tightened, Zhang Hu's eyes turned cold, and he asked coldly, "Torture carefully?" His slender and graceful fingers pressed towards the scabbard around his waist.

Mrs. Ning Guogong stood aside, her old face turned pale.Damn girl!I just mentioned that, when did you really hit you?Damn girl.

Deng Qi's wife, Shen Shi, came here charmingly, holding her beloved daughter Deng Zhiping by the hand. "Yuan'er, good boy, let mother see you." Shen said affectionately, as if what Duke Ning Guo was holding in his arms was her own daughter.

Shen's demeanor greeted them one by one, "Grandfather, grandmother, Zhang Shizi." She was born beautiful, with a slim figure, fair skin, big eyes, a straight nose, red lips and white teeth.However, there was a big black hemorrhoid between her eyebrows, and with a lot of fierceness, she didn't seem gentle and kind enough.

Shen met Li thoughtfully, and gently pushed Deng Zhiping out, "Yuaner, this is your sister's screen. Zhiping, come and meet your sister."

Deng Zhiping blessed her beautifully and dignifiedly, and called her "sister".The Xun family and the Shen family looked at Deng Zhiping lovingly, to see how polite and sensible sister Ping is!My sister who is only five or six years old is so sensible, she is better than adults!

Qing Que giggled, stretched out her arms around Ning Guogong's neck, and whispered a few words in his ear.Ning Guogong smiled slightly, "Qing Que is right, that's how it is handled." Hand Qing Que to Zhang Hu, "Please trouble your son to take him back to Yangji, and return him to the boss." Zhang Hu took it without hesitation. Qingque, get on your horse.

Shen's face darkened, what did this little girl say to her grandfather, would he let her go immediately?Deng Zhiping asked in a soft voice: "Why is my sister ignoring me? Is it Ping'er who is not good?" Xun said angrily: "There is nothing wrong with Ping'er, it's just that she doesn't know how to behave."

Zhang Hu rode on the horse and gave Xun Shi a cold look.Xun Shi only felt a sharp and ruthless gaze like a knife, and felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that there were countless slander and scolding words, and all of them were forgotten in the country of Java.

Qingque shouted cheerfully: "Brother Hu, let's go." Zhang Hu lowered his head and chuckled, "You can sit still, I ride fast, don't let you fall off." Qingque held up her small chest, "Steady Steady, can't fall!"

Zhang Hu smiled, bid farewell to Ning Guogong, and left without dust.His soldiers followed closely behind, and a dozen fast horses galloped away like fallen leaves in a wind.

Xunshi snorted, still angry.Shen shi held Deng Zhiping by the hand, watching Zhang Hu go away with ecstasy.The prince of the United Kingdom is well-deserved.

"This kid isn't bad." Deng Hui sat on the side of the road and judged leisurely.Wu Xie smiled and said, "It's up to you to say, Zhang Hu is as old as me, and has already experienced hundreds of battles. Father, when will you let me go to the battlefield? I'm going to die of anxiety."

Wu Xie was talking, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Wait, why was the elder brother's daughter taken away by him?" Zhang Hu circled the little niece in his arms, looking very cautious.The sister of the Deng family, what is his business?

It happened that Deng Lin came to greet his father, and told him with a smile, "The trouble he caused, he should deal with the aftermath. He brought the green bird out to play, a little girl's house, what's wrong with taking her to play, just came up with a fresh idea, Take her to play war. No, Qingque tripped the wrong person, and her tired father was injured."

Naive's eyebrows almost fell in surprise, "Zhang Hu took his little niece to play war? Second brother, Zhang Hu is very annoying. I talk to him, but he doesn't respond!"

Deng Lin didn't take it seriously, "Mr. Yang Ge has a lot of face. Do you know that Mr. Yang loves Qingque as much as his eyeballs."

A group of people arrived at the ancestral residence in a mighty way, and they were satisfied when they saw that the ancestral residence was spacious and bright, and the houses were clean and tidy.Because I came from a long way, I was a little tired, so I went to bed early that night.

The Duke's wife Xun and Ning Guogong have been separated for a long time, and Ning Guogong always lives in the study of the outer courtyard when he returns home, and rarely returns to the inner courtyard.This evening, the Xun family specially ordered people to invite Ning Guogong, "How about we go to get Yuan'er back tomorrow? We will worship the ancestors in the future."

Ning Guogong looked indifferent, unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, "It is not easy to get the child back, and the appointment in a day or two will fail. Tomorrow, I will prepare for the ancestor worship. After the day after, I will personally visit Elder Yang Ge, slowly Talk about the kids."

The Xun family didn't understand, "What's there to discuss? Yuan'er is the daughter of the Deng family. No matter how powerful Mr. Yang Ge is, he can dominate our family's sister, why don't you pay it back?"

Ning Guogong tweeted, "How did the daughter of the Deng family become the daughter of a tenant farmer? You must not forget that when Qing Que first met Yang Ge, she was a child of a farmer and a farmer's wife."

The child was just born, and the mother's maid braved the wind, rain, thunder and lightning to smuggle her out, and put her in foster care in a poor farmer's house-do you think this sounds nice and justified?

The Xun family was angry, "Who is to blame? Who let her meet her cruel mother, who would throw her into the kennel instead of gold and silver nests!"

Ning Guogong's eyes flashed brightly, and he looked at Xun Shi with piercing eyes.He is a battle-tested general who has killed countless enemies in his life, and he has an aura of power without anger, Xun's face turned pale, and his tone softened, "You are right, and I will handle it according to your wishes. "

Ning Guogong looked at Xun Shi quietly for a while, which made her feel terrified.Mrs. Xun was about to say a few words about family matters with a smile, but saw that Ning Guogong turned and left without saying a word.Seeing her husband's tall figure gradually disappearing in the night, Xun's heart sank little by little.

He is getting further and further away from himself.

Mrs. Sun ordered people to call Madam Wu, and asked about Huiting and Yang Ji's contacts face-to-face. She frowned and said, "Sister Yuan has such a temperament, how can I do it! When you get back, you have to be careful. "

Sun was very dissatisfied with Mr. Yang Ge.You are also considered a great Confucian in the world, why did you teach a girl as a boy?Boys and girls make tiles, for girls, learning to weave and knit is a serious matter, if you are more elegant, you can also involve in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. How can anyone learn to dance guns and sticks, march and fight!

If she really brought Sister Yuan back, she would have to stop as a grandmother.Mrs. Sun felt a bit of a headache when she thought about training a wild girl into a lady.

Madam Wu replied cautiously: "Then Mingyue is still closed and hasn't been dealt with yet."

Since Qi Yu left, the servants in the old house were either sold or sent to a remote village.Zhu'er was the one who told Yingniang to leave in Lei Yuye, and she was beaten to death with a stick.Mother Hu sued the old man boringly.Ming was locked in the old house and never released.

Mrs. Sun sighed, "It's a crime. This Mingyue should be married to someone. There is a servant of the same age in the mansion, so let this Mingyue reward him as his wife."

For Qi Yu alone, some were beaten to death, some had no choice but to retire, and some were betrayed, isn't that enough?There can be no more murders.

Mother Wu respectfully agreed, "Yes, madam."

Mrs. Sun waved her hand, and Madam Wu backed out quietly.

In the next two days, the Deng family was busy with the important matter of worshiping the ancestors, everyone was careful and did not dare to ignore it.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Duke Ningguo sent people to Yangji to send the worship stickers, and agreed to meet at the mansion the next day.

"Niu Niu, let's play by myself tomorrow morning, Grandpa has a guest." Yang Ge read the post and specifically explained to Qing Que.In the morning, it was supposed to be time for Qingque to go to school.

Qing Que rolled her big eyes, and agreed crisply, "Yes, Grandpa."

However, before going to bed at night, when Qing Que bid farewell to Grandpa, she looked very pitiful, "Grandpa, the Duke's wife of that family said that he would torture me carefully, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep."

The great grandfather felt distressed, and coaxed her softly, "Good girl, there is a great grandfather, who dares to touch your finger?"

Qing Que raised her head and smiled sweetly and flatteringly, "Grandpa, Niuniu depends entirely on you!"

Grandpa's heart softened into a puddle of water, and he ordered Nanny Lin and Yingniang to take Qing Que back to the room, "Niu Niu was frightened, so someone will sleep with her at night, so it's easy to coax her."

Nanny Lin was also distressed, Yingniang was about to shed tears, she led the green sparrows one by one, led them back like a phoenix egg, and went to bed with her at night.

Qingque lay between Nanny Lin and Yingniang, giggling, and went to sleep after a long while.Nanny Lin and Yingniang were very patient this night, pampering her and pampering her.

The next day, Qing Que got up early in the morning and ran to find Zhang Hu. "Hey, my great-grandfather has a guest, I want to eavesdrop, can you help me?" Zhang Hu was eating breakfast, she sat on the chair opposite and begged softly.

Zhang Hu ate slowly, his movements were graceful and graceful, and he just ignored her.Qing Que was furious, slapped the table and scolded, "Impolite Zhang Afu!"

After Zhang Hu had eaten in a hurry, he took a snow-white western towel to wipe the corners of his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and cleaned his hands. The series of movements were as natural and smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

Seeing him looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, Qing Que shuddered and jumped up, wanting to run away.Zhang Hu twitched his lips, relaxed his ape's arms, and grabbed her back with ease, and sat on the table, "Little Qingque, today my brother will tell you carefully what it means to be rude."

Let's talk about being rude first. As for Zhang Afu, I will discuss this another day.

"Brother Hu!" Qing Que called sweetly with a wink, "Qing Que hasn't had breakfast yet, she's so hungry."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Zhang Hu smiled slightly, took her to the dining table and sat down, and ordered someone to serve some porridge for her to eat.While Qing Que was having breakfast, Zhang Hu talked about "what is impolite", no matter what he said, Qing Que nodded while eating, very well-behaved.

After breakfast, the guest who inquired about Mr. Yang Ge came and had a conversation with tea in the upper room of the outer courtyard.Zhang Hu carried the blue bird on his back without using a ladder, so he jumped up and down a few times and landed on the window behind the house.

Qingque poked her head in cautiously, and saw two old men in the room arguing, "Give me back Qingque!" "No, no, just don't!"

Ning Guogong was tall and burly, with a majestic voice, and he was quite powerful when he quarreled.Old Yang Ge was of medium build and elegant in appearance, but he had a calm and graceful demeanor. He had a face-to-face dispute with Ning Guogong, and he did not lose to him at all.

"The blue bird wants to fly, but you always want to cut her wings!" Yang Ge said angrily: "I sent someone here, not to follow the rules, but to talk about etiquette. You must tie the child to death!"

She is such a lively child, if you really go back to Ningguo Mansion with you, a bunch of women, old, middle-aged and young, surround her, restrain her with lifeless rules, and apply female virtues mechanically to suppress her.In less than two years, the juicy blue sparrows will gradually wither and become completely unrecognizable.

Yang Ge always felt a great pain in his heart when he thought about what Qing Que might encounter when he returned to Ningguo Duke's Mansion.No matter how luxurious that mansion is, it's useless. In that duke's mansion, there is no one who really loves Qingque!

"You want Qing Que to go back, and you are going to give it to Mrs. Guogong. Qing Que has met her before, and every time she thinks of her, she is so scared that she can't sleep! Madam Zun is really majestic, a six or seven-year-old girl The baby tripped her beloved son, she will torture her carefully!" Yang Ge said angrily.

Ning Guogong's voice was still very loud, "Who said I'm going to give Qingque to her? Those ignorant housewives, no one is worthy of raising my great-granddaughter! Qingque returned to Deng's house and followed me naturally! "

"Bullshit! From time to time, you wear the seal of General Pei to go to war, and you may go to battle someday. When you are fighting, who will you hand over the blue sparrow to?"

"Nonsense! When I was fighting, I would naturally bring the little green bird with me!"

"Don't even think about it!" Elder Yang Ge was furious, "Little girl like a flower, follow you to the battlefield? You don't feel bad, I feel bad!"

Ning Guogong was also very annoyed, "What on earth are you thinking? You don't worry if you put it in the inner house; you don't worry if you follow me. You deliberately bully Qingque, don't you?"

"So what's the matter?" Yang Ge boss said carelessly, "Qing Que is a cute little girl, and I like it. If you say anything, I won't pay it back!"

"You—" Ning Guogong stood up and glared at Elder Yang Ge fiercely.Old Yang Ge stared back angrily, and the two glared at each other.

Qing Que's agile almond eyes were clear and bright, and she focused on the two old men in the room.Mr. Ning Guo is tall and imposing, but his great-grandfather has bigger eyes and a taller beard than him. Well, great-grandfather still has the upper hand.

Looking at the serious little girl beside him, Zhang Hu suddenly regretted it.She is only a little old, isn't it cruel to let her witness this situation with her own eyes and guess where she will belong in the future?
"Hahaha..." The two old men confronted each other for a long time, and suddenly they burst out laughing at the same time. Mr. Ning Guo took Mr. Yang Ge's hand affectionately, "I haven't seen you for many years, and you still have an old temper." Yang Ge smiled and patted Ning Guo. The male's arm, "You, you are even more unreasonable!"

The two hooked shoulder to shoulder, very affectionate.
