Chapter 15
Fengjiu met Ge Luoli, a new friend, and she was in a good mood. From time to time, she made appointments to go to the library, Siping Street, and the North Market, or to drink tea at her own house. One of them spoke fluent English, and the other stumbled. Kedi started to try to speak Chinese, and then corrected each other. They all felt that they benefited a lot. There are elements of serious study and common progress in it, which is very suitable.
But the matter of engagement still weighs on Feng Jiu's chest like a big rock, bringing constant pressure.
Feng Jiu is not an acquaintance, so naturally he would not tell his new friends about such things.
The clock of the years has come to the beginning of July, the high school graduation exam has long been over, and the most important thing left in the school is to get the diploma. About two-thirds of the students in the class are going to continue their studies, so After taking the graduation exam, I stopped coming. Instead, I carefully prepared for the exam at home, because the entrance exams for many universities will start in a few days.
For Feng Jiu, maybe the remaining few days might be her last student years.
Because of family troubles, she went to school intermittently. Melanie, who had just returned to school, felt that her friend's expression was not quite right. She was naturally sensitive and delicate, so she gently scratched Feng Jiu's ear during the lunch break: "This What's the matter?"
At this time, the two of them were sitting under the grape trellis in the small garden. Now is the season for wild grapes to ripen. Clusters of grapes are hidden under the leaves and climbed on the seedlings. Grape vines meander down densely, forming a boundary like a cabin in the forest. This is the little paradise for the two of them.
Fengjiu looked at her best friend's concerned face, the strength she had been strong for a while finally collapsed, and her dark eyes were covered with tears: "Daling, Ning Zheng, no, Ning Ruiqing and I'm engaged."
"What?! Ning Zheng or Ning Ruiqing? Ning Ruiqing is the one you invited to dinner! I didn't go there that time. Ah, I heard Zheng Li and the others say that this person is young, tall and handsome, or An international student, it seems that his family background is also very good, and he is also very gentle..."
Since the last comedy festival, Melanie’s house leaked and rained all night. Her grandmother, who had been in poor health before, died of a critical illness. It lasted for several months. Melanie didn’t even take the graduation exam. , after reporting back to school a few days ago, I had to take the exam for two consecutive days, and I had to take eight or nine make-up exams before I could finish it. Naturally, I didn’t have much time to communicate with Zheng Li and the others, so I don’t know. It turned out that this Zheng Li and the others The well-known Ning Ruiqing was actually the well-known Ning Army Marshal Ning Zheng.
"Hey, how do you know? Ning Ruiqing, his name is Ning Zheng, and his name is Ruiqing. He is my sister's ex-fiancé."
... This time, Melanie's battery was also off, and she stared blankly at Feng Jiu.
"What's the matter? It's terrible. What does he mean?"
"Caught off guard, he came to my house not long ago, and told me solemnly that he was going to propose marriage to our family, so that I could prepare; I went to find my father, but my father said that he knew about it a long time ago, and in a few days, the dowry It's all down."
Feng Jiu wiped away his tears, "What is this for? If you think that the eldest sister owes them the Ning family for retiring the engagement, but it's not caused by me, adults should settle matters for adults. Why should I be involved? I Seeing his father's expression, he was not very happy, as if he had other considerations. Well, anyway, I was the first one to be unlucky." Feng Jiu was so sad that he couldn't continue.
Melanie took a deep breath, "Bong Jiu, I know you are not interested in dating and marriage, and you said..."
"If I have to get married, I will only marry Tiger Head." Feng Jiu was sullen.
"You and Hutou's childhood sweetheart know each other well, and they are indeed a good match. However, I have long felt that even if you two really want to get married, it will not be so easy." Melanie said as tactfully as possible.
Hutou was nicknamed Hutou because he was born with a tiger head and a tiger head, but the older he grew up, the more handsome he became.
Ever since Fengjiu can remember, he has watched his parents become more and more strangers, especially after learning that the two got married in a free love that was considered a sensation at the beginning, and listened to many things about their love story. But looking at the current atmosphere of mutual respect between husband and wife, even if you don't know the meaning of love, you have already begun to feel that "love" is so unreliable.
She said to Wei Yuanhua early on: "You can marry me when you grow up. We won't quarrel. We will definitely live a peaceful life."
Hutou was only eight or nine years old at the time, and when he heard the words of being kind and friendly for a lifetime, he felt that this was very true, and he didn't quite understand what marriage was—probably, it means that two people have been together all the time?Still sleeping in the same bed?That's not unusual, now that he's grown up, didn't he sleep with Feng Jiu for a few nights before?Feng Jiu didn't grind his teeth or kick anyone, so he shouldn't be picky about his sleeping posture. Besides, he thought of Feng Jiu, so he just nodded his head, and since then he has become more and more kind to Feng Jiu.
Only the third aunt laughed loudly after hearing this, and then said nothing, her slightly frowning made Feng Jiu very puzzled.
As they got older and the Tang family was separated, the chances of the two meeting each other became less and less.There is another thing that is very strange. Although the Tongze Boys’ School is very close to the Tang family and the tuition is not expensive, the third aunt let him go to the Peide Boys’ High School. Although this school is not bad, the Tongze Girls’ High School The distance between them made it difficult for the two children to see each other for the last time in ten and a half months; as for the winter and summer vacations, Hutou was sent by his third aunt most of the time to learn how to do business in a few shops that were not very profitable. , Look at the account book, so Hutou's smile has decreased in recent years, but he has indeed matured a lot.
Feng Jiu didn't understand why the third aunt did this, didn't Hutou go to college?The third aunt sighed, "Feng Jiu, Hutou is an orphan, and his family is not well-off. His father's property has been used to pay off the debts. There is really nothing left; you know what the third aunt's house is like. I think Hutou It’s good to be able to read it up to now, but it’s more important to enter the shop early and learn how to do business, and then marry a daughter-in-law, and I will be able to explain to his parents.”
When Feng Jiu heard this, he became anxious: "It's great for Hutou to study. He always wanted to be an architect. If he didn't have money to go to school, I have it. My lucky money from childhood is enough for Hutou to go to college."
During the period of the Republic of China, ordinary people could earn seven or eight oceans a month, but university tuition costs more than 100 oceans a year, which is definitely a luxury. Kan: Because there was no unified entrance examination for universities in the early Republic of China, many people chose to apply for three or five universities to be on the safe side, and each application fee started at least three yuan, so just one application fee stopped many people. Outside the door, not to mention the travel and accommodation expenses incurred to take the college entrance examination.
Of course the third aunt knows that Feng Jiu has this ability: if you were to rank the assets of a rich lady in China, Feng Jiu would be able to enter the top three, and she can be called the top female - because her mother came from a wealthy family, and since she got married Since then, the various industries on the dowry list have been managed well, and the already generous value has more than doubled.
Before her death, Feng Jiu's mother had the foresight to divide the dowry into three parts, and explained clearly to Feng Xian, Feng Lin and Feng Jiu three brothers and sisters early on.As one of the first batch of aristocratic ladies in China to study in new-style schools, she is one of the few egalitarians who did not give him the bulk of the dowry just because she had a son.
On the other hand, because the relationship with Tang Du is no longer there, after I leave, my husband's reunion is probably a certainty. In order to avoid "where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather", so they should be separated. At the same time, it can also avoid the coveting of the family's skinless and shameless brothers, etc., killing three birds with one stone.
The third aunt listened to Feng Jiu's innocent words, and she couldn't help laughing—no matter how smart she is, she is still a child after all—shaking her head lightly: "Silly Feng Jiu, you are a good...but if there is such a thing in this world Just keep it simple."
Feng Jiu felt ashamed, and walked back sullenly.At that time, the Tang family had already separated. Since the mother passed away and the father continued, the Tang family also disbanded.Feng Jiu couldn't help but think of the situation when his mother was in charge of the middle school, she was so worried about not being good to each room, and in the end she made a lot of resentment.
Although the husband and wife have been at odds for so many years, the father also knew that the matter of middle-feeding made his wife overworked, which made the father learn from it and separate the family.Then, "The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade", looking at the contented face of the father's new wife because of the division of the family and how many dirty things of the big family have been lost, and thinking about what the father always said to the current wife. With a pleasant expression on his face, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
…………
After listening to Melanie's words, Feng Jiu lost his arrogance in an instant, "It's a big deal, I'll elope with Hutou."
Melanie couldn't help laughing: "You two are still so young. Where did you elope and stop studying? What can you do if you don't study? How can you support yourself?"
"I have my own money." Feng Jiu's voice was a little softer.
"Sit and eat, don't you understand? Besides, how much cash can you bring? I'm afraid you have to bring banknotes, right? You have to exchange them?... If Uncle Tang wants to get stuck in your neck, it's as easy as flipping your palm."
Holding her chin, Feng Jiu always felt that she was going to marry someone other than Hutou, and she couldn't accept this idea alone.
Melanie looked at Feng Jiu's unparalleled beauty and sighed silently in her heart. She had a strong premonition that her friend's marriage might not be changed at all: "Feng Jiu, you never realize how beautiful you are, This Young Marshal Ning has his eye on you, what should we do?"
Feng Jiu snickered: "He's interested in me? Ah, you don't know how many scandals he has, hey, flying all over the sky! He has fed countless street tabloids from all over the country - what big ladies, little jades, poor women, China Western, Eastern, Nanyang, from movie stars, to Peking opera actors, to company clerks, to female students, they have everything, he has never seen anything in the world, so he has to fall in love with me, a big girl from the Northeast?" Thinking about it, Fengjiu couldn't be happier to be there.
"Aren't you ignorant of him? How can you be so clear about these things?" Melanie frowned in confusion.
"Because our family has a gossip encyclopedia." Feng Jiu was referring to the sister-in-law of the family, who came to play with them every now and then. her report.
Feng Jiu suddenly became annoyed now. If he had been interested in such information earlier, it would have been better if his sister-in-law had brought the tabloid over earlier, so that he could take a good look at what Ning Zheng looked like, and he wouldn't be in the ice rink. See if you don't recognize him, and have been involved with him since then.
"You also know that it's all gossip, and it's not accurate." Melanie despised her friend, but after hearing Feng Jiu's optimistic words, she felt a little more at ease—even if this marriage is completed, it will be impossible. Enough to relieve headaches.
She then patted her reassuringly: "I think you can talk to Ning Zheng, he also came back from studying abroad, could it be arranged by his father again, and he is not happy about it?"
Thinking of that sudden and forceful kiss, Fengjiu shook the goosebumps all over his body, let him think that he was temporarily lustful, anyway, such a person, I am afraid that he can be in heat anytime and anywhere, "It would be good if this is the case, it would be better If my elder sister of the Tang family repents once, and the third brother of the Ning family repents once again, the two families will be evened out, and the two families will not turn against each other, so everyone is happy."
Melanie sighed again: "That has really become a legend of Fengtian. But Feng Jiu, I think Ning Zheng is not bad, and his family is powerful. Once you marry him, you will become the three provinces of the Northeast in the future. You are the most powerful lady, everyone has to look at you wherever you go, don't you really like it?"
Feng Jiu's eyes widened: "I have long decided to live a simple life - monogamy, a little surplus, and no troublesome family affairs. As for me, it is best to teach quietly, which is good for me. It is the best." Feng Jiu took a breath: "If you marry him, you will have to attend the annoying banquet endlessly, and you will have to fight with all kinds of women who want to follow him. Hey, is he worthy? Not to mention What's the fun of living in fear of being assassinated every day? Such a first lady, whoever she loves should be whoever she likes, anyway, I'm not the one."
Melanie was speechless.
Feng Jiu got excited and remembered another thing, "I think the woman this kind of playboy really likes should be the person in this kind of romantic scene." She immediately crossed her arms and imitated what she saw in the movie Courtesan style: put Erlang on his feet and shake his legs a few times, stretch out his index finger and middle finger, shaped like scissors with a gap open, gesticulate with two fingers holding a cigarette, press and take it away from his mouth, and spit it out with a round mouth Imaginary smoke rings.
It's a pity that she is dressed as a student without the standard high-heeled shoes of a courtesan, nor with flaming red lips and big wavy curly hair. Therefore, Fengjiu's frivolous appearance, in the eyes of others, is just a lame little girl. Children pretend to be adults.
Melanie smiled, and suddenly punched her, "Look at your virtue, you should really let those young masters who bow down under your pomegranate skirt see the true colors of the same flower we share!"
"Oh, remind me, good Melanie, if it doesn't make sense, I'll show him my virtue, make him think that I'm going to marry a courtesan, disgust him to death, and let him quit after difficulties." Feng Jiu Shake your fingers.
Melanie smiled and shook her head, "You damn girl, are you acting stupid? Besides, aren't you afraid of losing face?"
"What face do I want if the inner lining is gone? Throw it away! You are right, in this era, who can want a marriage that you don't want? I believe Ning Zheng didn't think about it for the time being." Well, in the final analysis, he should also be a reasonable person, after all, he has been educated in the West and pays attention to civil rights."
Feng Jiu was happy again, Melanie looked at Feng Jiu who was full of confidence, held her hands and shook, "I wish you success soon!"
"must!"
The two cheerfully shared the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and duck gizzards that Melanie's father had brought back from Nanjing, and walked to the classroom arm in arm, when they suddenly ran into Ning Hongsi on the way.
Ning Hongsi has known them for a long time. This person has always been very low-key, but he can see that he has a good family background. He often rides a bicycle to and from school, and the car that occasionally picks him up is just an ordinary car. Hongsi He never talked about his family background with anyone, only knew that his father had passed away long ago, and he lived with his widowed mother and members of the clan.
Ning Hongsi looks very handsome, he is a famous school girl in Tongze Boys' High School, Feng Jiu and Mei Lan are also acquaintances of him, so they greeted him warmly, Feng Jiu stopped and listened to Ning Hongsi is okay Slowly explained why he came here, and said that he would find her later, Fengjiu answered absent-mindedly, his eyes flicked across his face, suddenly a string in her mind was plucked, and she turned her gaze back to Hongsi He stared at him carefully again, Hong Si found out, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? I don't know him anymore?"
Melanie on the side felt ashamed for Fengjiu—even if she suddenly fell in love with the school girl, she should be a bit reserved and not be so explicit, right?What's more, when did Feng Jiu show even a little bit of liking for Ning Hongsi?
She calmly pinched Feng Jiu's arm, Feng Jiu was like waking up from a dream, and said to Hong Si: "Student Ning, I have some private matters to trouble you, can I take a step to talk?"
She winked at Melanie, and Melanie realized that things didn't seem to be what she thought. She patted Feng Jiu's back lightly, said goodbye to Hong Si, and entered the teaching building.
Just now, Feng Jiu was shocked to discover that although she has always had a problem of not being able to remember other people's faces, she is slightly face-blind in modern times, so the second time she ate hot pot and saw Ning Zheng recognized it, it was purely because he made an appointment at the time. Arrived at the dating place; and it was not until the third meeting at the school drama festival that she could barely remember Ning Zheng's appearance; and Feng Jiu could recognize Bao Buqu because he was the first Cantonese person she had ever seen , and the unyielding Cantonese Northeast Mandarin is very distinctive.
But from the first time they met, she felt that Ning Zheng looked strangely familiar; now that she saw Ning Hongsi again, she realized that Ning Hongsi and Ning Zheng looked so alike, Moreover, both of them are surnamed Ning...
Seeing that Feng Jiu sent Melania away on purpose, Hong Si felt strange, he would not pretend to think that Feng Jiu was trying to show love to him, like so many girls have done over the years.
At this time, the two happened to be not far from the entrance of the "Shining Building", which was the teaching building. Feng Jiu looked at the students who were coming and going. Looking at them thoughtfully, he covered his mouth and said something.
Feng Jiu spoke with difficulty: "Student Ning..."
Hongji kept looking at her beautiful face with a smile, and there was eagerness and darkness in his eyes: "What's the matter, Classmate Tang?"
Fengjiu hates blatant pursuits. This is an open secret in both schools in Tongze, so Fengjiu miraculously maintains good popularity among boys and girls at the same time. "In the crazy age of ", it is not uncommon for many female students to openly pursue married teachers or live with older men, and it is even rarer to see beautiful women with good family background and good homework who are so reserved and self-loving.
Kouji looked at her clear and confused eyes, thinking in his heart that he had known each other for two years, the two of them could be considered acquaintances, and he began to secretly think about an idea that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"Who are you, Mr. Ning Zhengning?" She asked straightforwardly.
Ning Hongsi's heart skipped a beat: "Did you see it?"
Feng Jiu nodded, "You both look alike."
Ning Hongsi suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart: "He is my third uncle."
Feng Jiu smiled, but there was a kind of coldness in this smile, like a clear river flowing downwards, suddenly encountered extreme cold, and was frozen for life - uncle and nephew are not a few years old, such things happen in This era is very common, and the two seem to be of the same age.
She likes Ning Hongsi very much, of course as a classmate, because in working with him many times, Hongsi's calm, generous, meticulous thinking and ability to plan and execute various activities are outstanding. At this age, most of the male students are still young and immature, but Ning Hongsi's performance can be called mature, so among the men of her generation, her evaluation of Hongsi is no lower than that of Hutou. This is also the only boy among his peers who has been recognized by Miss Tang Liu.
Ning Hongsi was originally here to report on the expenses of several activities held jointly with the girls' school this semester. Of course, this matter is not that urgent, but Ning Hongsi is still very happy to assign this errand to himself. Report to the student office, and then visit your old partner Feng Jiu.
But now the situation...Hong Si looked around, "There is a small garden behind the 'Shiningshen Building', let's go there and talk."
Fengjiu smiled gratefully, and the two entered the small garden one after the other.
It is now the summer season, and there is still one month before the beginning of autumn. The summer sun is still quite powerful. The noon sun shines straight down on the dark green leaves. The maple leaves have not turned red, and the aspen leaves have not changed. It is golden yellow, and the clumps of old-fashioned reds beside it are blooming beautifully. The tall leaves and stems stand on top of each other, like the bright red cockscomb on the head of a big rooster. The meat is very thick, There are a lot of purple-black "tiantian'er" on the low and short white flowers next to it, which is actually nightshade, the most common small berry in Fengtian, which is very ripe, and there is still a strong midsummer smell everywhere.
In the past, when Fengjiu saw Tiantian'er, she must have squatted down and grabbed enough to eat, but today she was not in such a mood. When she walked to a sculpture of a little girl sitting on a moon and bowing her head to read, she said softly: " Classmate Ning, I came to you to say these things as my friend, because the situation is a bit serious, so I hope you can keep it a secret."
Hong Si's heart tightened, and he looked straight at Feng Jiu: "Don't worry, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut. I swear in the name of my deceased father, you can trust me completely."
Feng Jiu was moved when he heard this. At this moment, Hong Si's behavior is really a gentleman.
"Ning Zheng, your third uncle, is engaged to me."
Kouji's smile suddenly froze on his face, what did he hear?His third uncle, who is outstanding and shining in the eyes of the world, actually wants to marry...
"This should still be a secret, our family members don't even know about it yet." Kouji said in a deep voice.In order to avoid complications, the scheming old man did not make public the marriage of his future successor as usual, and the Tang government naturally cooperated, so apart from a few Tang family and Ning family, her engagement to Ning Zheng was still a secret in Fengtian.
The old handsome is also thoughtful, if something like Tang Fenglin's escape from marriage happens again, where will his old face be put?He had the foresight back then, so he never announced his own son's marriage. What happened afterwards?Thankfully it was covered.So until the marriage is ripe, the old man still doesn't plan to make this matter public.
"There should be a few people in your family who know that the appointment was made by the old handsome Fifth Aunt and Aunt Ning Zheng... He also said that he doesn't want my eldest sister's escape from marriage to happen again, and I can only accept it." Feng Jiu said in a low voice, and his two thin white and slender hands were tightly twisted together.
Ning Hongsi looked at her actions, not surprised at all that Feng Jiu didn't like his third uncle, "Then what do you want to do now?"
There was a light in Feng Jiu's eyes, and Hong Si saw his reflection in her clear pupils, "Student Ning, I know that my request is too much, but can you tell me something about your third uncle... …and then I can—”
"So you can talk to him to put him off?"
Feng Jiu gave a small "hmm", feeling relieved that Hong Si understood his intention so quickly.
Hong Si slowly shook his head: "My third uncle looks gentle and courteous on the surface, but he is full of arrogance in his bones. He probably won't accept your rejection."
This is half true, right?Ning Zheng is actually very domineering and likes to make his own opinions, Feng Jiu added a few more words in his stomach.
"Then why did he accept my sister's disengagement without any hesitation?" Feng Jiu was a little confused.
"I don't think he cares about your sister." Hong Si tried his best to say euphemistically. Although Miss Tang's escape from marriage was a secret, everyone in the Ning family knew about it. However, Hong Si did not follow his third uncle. There was no sign of regret or remorse on his face, but a relaxed look. It seemed that the dissolution of the engagement was exactly what he wanted.
This was his own negligence, Hong Si secretly reviewed in his heart: he never thought that his third uncle would act so quickly and get engaged again not long after.
"Besides, he really can't find any faults in other aspects except for his female sexuality." Hongji wanted to be fair in his evaluation of the third uncle, because it related to the foundation of his life; he peeked Look at Fengjiu—it's still a bit difficult to talk about his third uncle's affair with the woman he likes.
Fengjiu's eyes lit up, and his gaze was suddenly as eager as the scorching sun at noon, and his whole body became joyful: "Can you tell me more about him? There are very few news about him in the newspapers, but most of them are speculative. I can't find anything useful, and my family won't talk about such things in front of us." That's natural, even if there are some rumors, but who would talk about such a goddamn topic in front of a woman who hasn't left the cabinet?
"Well, it was my grandfather who purposely prevented those major newspapers from reporting news about my third uncle. After all, he is my grandfather's only legitimate son." There was a hint of sarcasm in Hong Si's words.
Feng Jiu was silent, and quickly understood that Hongsi's father seemed to be born to the old handsome concubine, but this is not the point, she continued: "Student Ning, since we have all talked about this, I have no choice but to be cheeky." Tell me about my views on marriage and love. I will never accept such a man as my husband. Your third uncle should be the most ideal husband in the eyes of many women, but not including me; my ideal marriage , It should be a combination of two clean-spirited people, not, not—" Feng Jiu still couldn't continue, and his fine skin like white jade, which was hardly tanned by the sun, slowly turned red.
Hongji's face also turned red, and he said in a low voice, "Student Tang, I understand you. Many international students in our country did have irregularities in their private lives when they were studying in the West, and they are also sensual in China... Let me tell you Say what I know is a woman who has had trouble with my third uncle, maybe this will help you. Also, do you want me to talk to my third uncle first?"
Feng Jiu had just overcome the shame of confessing his heart to outsiders. Hearing this, he raised his head in astonishment: "Thank you, but you really don't need it, and this is already troublesome for you. Besides, I still have to talk to him personally about this kind of thing." It's good to talk, I don't want to involve you for no reason, and, at least on the surface, this matter is still a secret... Now, please ask classmate Ning to share the "Third Uncle" - "Love Past"", speaking of this, The corners of Feng Jiu's lips raised mockingly, "Tell me about it."
Hongji sighed softly, feeling a little sorry for the third uncle, but the third uncle, who is always romantic and always in love, is not worthy of the pure and crystal-like Feng Jiu, he firmly thinks so, not to mention...of course , I can only speak slowly.
Feng Jiu was very excited when she learned about Ning Zheng's dewy marriages in the past few years. She bowed deeply to Hong Si to express her gratitude, which made the always steady Hong Si flustered.
The two said their goodbyes just like that, Hong Si watched Feng Jiu, who was full of fighting spirit, turn around and stride away, with mixed feelings in his heart, suddenly the idea that had been silently brewing in his heart just now popped up, and he could no longer stop it.
"Bong Jiu!" Hong Si called Feng Jiu, looked at the girl and turned around in surprise, "Huh?"
"I have an excuse, I don't know if it can be used?" Hong Si's heart was beating very fast suddenly, he felt in a daze that this was an opportunity, it was fleeting, and it would be a pity not to seize it.
"What?" Feng Jiu ran back interested.
"Would you like to say—that you and I are in love with each other..." Kouji said in a low voice.
Feng Jiu was taken aback: "Ah?! Hey! Don't drag you into it anymore, how will you meet your third uncle then? If you want to offend him, it's enough for me to offend him alone. Thank you very much! "
Fengjiu smiled sweetly, and waved to Hongsi again. The lunch break was almost over, and she trotted away.
Kouji looked at her slightly swaying slender waist, her round shoulders, a big black braid bouncing lively on her slender back from behind, and the purple blue silk tied at the end of the braid. The camellias also jumped up and flew away, and indescribable loss and sadness slowly filled my heart.
Then I thought, no matter what, I always fought for it, and if I want to come in the future, I won't regret it.
…………
"Ah?!" Melanie's eyes widened and her expression was serious—after Feng Jiu entered the classroom, he took the opportunity to pull Melanie out, and told her all the key points of the conversation with Kouji just now.
After hearing this, Melanie recovered from the shock of learning about Ning Hongsi's relationship with the Ning family, and gave Feng Jiu a thumbs up, admiring her friend's amazing eyesight and quick brain.
Fengjiu thought that the matter of refusal to marry should not be too radical, but should set a timetable, step by step, advance step by step, smooth out everything that will be said, it is best to prepare several sets of plans, maybe the two of them will reach a conclusion once they open their mouths Consensus?hey-hey.Thinking that the vision might come true, Feng Jiu became happy again.
(End of this chapter)
Fengjiu met Ge Luoli, a new friend, and she was in a good mood. From time to time, she made appointments to go to the library, Siping Street, and the North Market, or to drink tea at her own house. One of them spoke fluent English, and the other stumbled. Kedi started to try to speak Chinese, and then corrected each other. They all felt that they benefited a lot. There are elements of serious study and common progress in it, which is very suitable.
But the matter of engagement still weighs on Feng Jiu's chest like a big rock, bringing constant pressure.
Feng Jiu is not an acquaintance, so naturally he would not tell his new friends about such things.
The clock of the years has come to the beginning of July, the high school graduation exam has long been over, and the most important thing left in the school is to get the diploma. About two-thirds of the students in the class are going to continue their studies, so After taking the graduation exam, I stopped coming. Instead, I carefully prepared for the exam at home, because the entrance exams for many universities will start in a few days.
For Feng Jiu, maybe the remaining few days might be her last student years.
Because of family troubles, she went to school intermittently. Melanie, who had just returned to school, felt that her friend's expression was not quite right. She was naturally sensitive and delicate, so she gently scratched Feng Jiu's ear during the lunch break: "This What's the matter?"
At this time, the two of them were sitting under the grape trellis in the small garden. Now is the season for wild grapes to ripen. Clusters of grapes are hidden under the leaves and climbed on the seedlings. Grape vines meander down densely, forming a boundary like a cabin in the forest. This is the little paradise for the two of them.
Fengjiu looked at her best friend's concerned face, the strength she had been strong for a while finally collapsed, and her dark eyes were covered with tears: "Daling, Ning Zheng, no, Ning Ruiqing and I'm engaged."
"What?! Ning Zheng or Ning Ruiqing? Ning Ruiqing is the one you invited to dinner! I didn't go there that time. Ah, I heard Zheng Li and the others say that this person is young, tall and handsome, or An international student, it seems that his family background is also very good, and he is also very gentle..."
Since the last comedy festival, Melanie’s house leaked and rained all night. Her grandmother, who had been in poor health before, died of a critical illness. It lasted for several months. Melanie didn’t even take the graduation exam. , after reporting back to school a few days ago, I had to take the exam for two consecutive days, and I had to take eight or nine make-up exams before I could finish it. Naturally, I didn’t have much time to communicate with Zheng Li and the others, so I don’t know. It turned out that this Zheng Li and the others The well-known Ning Ruiqing was actually the well-known Ning Army Marshal Ning Zheng.
"Hey, how do you know? Ning Ruiqing, his name is Ning Zheng, and his name is Ruiqing. He is my sister's ex-fiancé."
... This time, Melanie's battery was also off, and she stared blankly at Feng Jiu.
"What's the matter? It's terrible. What does he mean?"
"Caught off guard, he came to my house not long ago, and told me solemnly that he was going to propose marriage to our family, so that I could prepare; I went to find my father, but my father said that he knew about it a long time ago, and in a few days, the dowry It's all down."
Feng Jiu wiped away his tears, "What is this for? If you think that the eldest sister owes them the Ning family for retiring the engagement, but it's not caused by me, adults should settle matters for adults. Why should I be involved? I Seeing his father's expression, he was not very happy, as if he had other considerations. Well, anyway, I was the first one to be unlucky." Feng Jiu was so sad that he couldn't continue.
Melanie took a deep breath, "Bong Jiu, I know you are not interested in dating and marriage, and you said..."
"If I have to get married, I will only marry Tiger Head." Feng Jiu was sullen.
"You and Hutou's childhood sweetheart know each other well, and they are indeed a good match. However, I have long felt that even if you two really want to get married, it will not be so easy." Melanie said as tactfully as possible.
Hutou was nicknamed Hutou because he was born with a tiger head and a tiger head, but the older he grew up, the more handsome he became.
Ever since Fengjiu can remember, he has watched his parents become more and more strangers, especially after learning that the two got married in a free love that was considered a sensation at the beginning, and listened to many things about their love story. But looking at the current atmosphere of mutual respect between husband and wife, even if you don't know the meaning of love, you have already begun to feel that "love" is so unreliable.
She said to Wei Yuanhua early on: "You can marry me when you grow up. We won't quarrel. We will definitely live a peaceful life."
Hutou was only eight or nine years old at the time, and when he heard the words of being kind and friendly for a lifetime, he felt that this was very true, and he didn't quite understand what marriage was—probably, it means that two people have been together all the time?Still sleeping in the same bed?That's not unusual, now that he's grown up, didn't he sleep with Feng Jiu for a few nights before?Feng Jiu didn't grind his teeth or kick anyone, so he shouldn't be picky about his sleeping posture. Besides, he thought of Feng Jiu, so he just nodded his head, and since then he has become more and more kind to Feng Jiu.
Only the third aunt laughed loudly after hearing this, and then said nothing, her slightly frowning made Feng Jiu very puzzled.
As they got older and the Tang family was separated, the chances of the two meeting each other became less and less.There is another thing that is very strange. Although the Tongze Boys’ School is very close to the Tang family and the tuition is not expensive, the third aunt let him go to the Peide Boys’ High School. Although this school is not bad, the Tongze Girls’ High School The distance between them made it difficult for the two children to see each other for the last time in ten and a half months; as for the winter and summer vacations, Hutou was sent by his third aunt most of the time to learn how to do business in a few shops that were not very profitable. , Look at the account book, so Hutou's smile has decreased in recent years, but he has indeed matured a lot.
Feng Jiu didn't understand why the third aunt did this, didn't Hutou go to college?The third aunt sighed, "Feng Jiu, Hutou is an orphan, and his family is not well-off. His father's property has been used to pay off the debts. There is really nothing left; you know what the third aunt's house is like. I think Hutou It’s good to be able to read it up to now, but it’s more important to enter the shop early and learn how to do business, and then marry a daughter-in-law, and I will be able to explain to his parents.”
When Feng Jiu heard this, he became anxious: "It's great for Hutou to study. He always wanted to be an architect. If he didn't have money to go to school, I have it. My lucky money from childhood is enough for Hutou to go to college."
During the period of the Republic of China, ordinary people could earn seven or eight oceans a month, but university tuition costs more than 100 oceans a year, which is definitely a luxury. Kan: Because there was no unified entrance examination for universities in the early Republic of China, many people chose to apply for three or five universities to be on the safe side, and each application fee started at least three yuan, so just one application fee stopped many people. Outside the door, not to mention the travel and accommodation expenses incurred to take the college entrance examination.
Of course the third aunt knows that Feng Jiu has this ability: if you were to rank the assets of a rich lady in China, Feng Jiu would be able to enter the top three, and she can be called the top female - because her mother came from a wealthy family, and since she got married Since then, the various industries on the dowry list have been managed well, and the already generous value has more than doubled.
Before her death, Feng Jiu's mother had the foresight to divide the dowry into three parts, and explained clearly to Feng Xian, Feng Lin and Feng Jiu three brothers and sisters early on.As one of the first batch of aristocratic ladies in China to study in new-style schools, she is one of the few egalitarians who did not give him the bulk of the dowry just because she had a son.
On the other hand, because the relationship with Tang Du is no longer there, after I leave, my husband's reunion is probably a certainty. In order to avoid "where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather", so they should be separated. At the same time, it can also avoid the coveting of the family's skinless and shameless brothers, etc., killing three birds with one stone.
The third aunt listened to Feng Jiu's innocent words, and she couldn't help laughing—no matter how smart she is, she is still a child after all—shaking her head lightly: "Silly Feng Jiu, you are a good...but if there is such a thing in this world Just keep it simple."
Feng Jiu felt ashamed, and walked back sullenly.At that time, the Tang family had already separated. Since the mother passed away and the father continued, the Tang family also disbanded.Feng Jiu couldn't help but think of the situation when his mother was in charge of the middle school, she was so worried about not being good to each room, and in the end she made a lot of resentment.
Although the husband and wife have been at odds for so many years, the father also knew that the matter of middle-feeding made his wife overworked, which made the father learn from it and separate the family.Then, "The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoy the shade", looking at the contented face of the father's new wife because of the division of the family and how many dirty things of the big family have been lost, and thinking about what the father always said to the current wife. With a pleasant expression on his face, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
…………
After listening to Melanie's words, Feng Jiu lost his arrogance in an instant, "It's a big deal, I'll elope with Hutou."
Melanie couldn't help laughing: "You two are still so young. Where did you elope and stop studying? What can you do if you don't study? How can you support yourself?"
"I have my own money." Feng Jiu's voice was a little softer.
"Sit and eat, don't you understand? Besides, how much cash can you bring? I'm afraid you have to bring banknotes, right? You have to exchange them?... If Uncle Tang wants to get stuck in your neck, it's as easy as flipping your palm."
Holding her chin, Feng Jiu always felt that she was going to marry someone other than Hutou, and she couldn't accept this idea alone.
Melanie looked at Feng Jiu's unparalleled beauty and sighed silently in her heart. She had a strong premonition that her friend's marriage might not be changed at all: "Feng Jiu, you never realize how beautiful you are, This Young Marshal Ning has his eye on you, what should we do?"
Feng Jiu snickered: "He's interested in me? Ah, you don't know how many scandals he has, hey, flying all over the sky! He has fed countless street tabloids from all over the country - what big ladies, little jades, poor women, China Western, Eastern, Nanyang, from movie stars, to Peking opera actors, to company clerks, to female students, they have everything, he has never seen anything in the world, so he has to fall in love with me, a big girl from the Northeast?" Thinking about it, Fengjiu couldn't be happier to be there.
"Aren't you ignorant of him? How can you be so clear about these things?" Melanie frowned in confusion.
"Because our family has a gossip encyclopedia." Feng Jiu was referring to the sister-in-law of the family, who came to play with them every now and then. her report.
Feng Jiu suddenly became annoyed now. If he had been interested in such information earlier, it would have been better if his sister-in-law had brought the tabloid over earlier, so that he could take a good look at what Ning Zheng looked like, and he wouldn't be in the ice rink. See if you don't recognize him, and have been involved with him since then.
"You also know that it's all gossip, and it's not accurate." Melanie despised her friend, but after hearing Feng Jiu's optimistic words, she felt a little more at ease—even if this marriage is completed, it will be impossible. Enough to relieve headaches.
She then patted her reassuringly: "I think you can talk to Ning Zheng, he also came back from studying abroad, could it be arranged by his father again, and he is not happy about it?"
Thinking of that sudden and forceful kiss, Fengjiu shook the goosebumps all over his body, let him think that he was temporarily lustful, anyway, such a person, I am afraid that he can be in heat anytime and anywhere, "It would be good if this is the case, it would be better If my elder sister of the Tang family repents once, and the third brother of the Ning family repents once again, the two families will be evened out, and the two families will not turn against each other, so everyone is happy."
Melanie sighed again: "That has really become a legend of Fengtian. But Feng Jiu, I think Ning Zheng is not bad, and his family is powerful. Once you marry him, you will become the three provinces of the Northeast in the future. You are the most powerful lady, everyone has to look at you wherever you go, don't you really like it?"
Feng Jiu's eyes widened: "I have long decided to live a simple life - monogamy, a little surplus, and no troublesome family affairs. As for me, it is best to teach quietly, which is good for me. It is the best." Feng Jiu took a breath: "If you marry him, you will have to attend the annoying banquet endlessly, and you will have to fight with all kinds of women who want to follow him. Hey, is he worthy? Not to mention What's the fun of living in fear of being assassinated every day? Such a first lady, whoever she loves should be whoever she likes, anyway, I'm not the one."
Melanie was speechless.
Feng Jiu got excited and remembered another thing, "I think the woman this kind of playboy really likes should be the person in this kind of romantic scene." She immediately crossed her arms and imitated what she saw in the movie Courtesan style: put Erlang on his feet and shake his legs a few times, stretch out his index finger and middle finger, shaped like scissors with a gap open, gesticulate with two fingers holding a cigarette, press and take it away from his mouth, and spit it out with a round mouth Imaginary smoke rings.
It's a pity that she is dressed as a student without the standard high-heeled shoes of a courtesan, nor with flaming red lips and big wavy curly hair. Therefore, Fengjiu's frivolous appearance, in the eyes of others, is just a lame little girl. Children pretend to be adults.
Melanie smiled, and suddenly punched her, "Look at your virtue, you should really let those young masters who bow down under your pomegranate skirt see the true colors of the same flower we share!"
"Oh, remind me, good Melanie, if it doesn't make sense, I'll show him my virtue, make him think that I'm going to marry a courtesan, disgust him to death, and let him quit after difficulties." Feng Jiu Shake your fingers.
Melanie smiled and shook her head, "You damn girl, are you acting stupid? Besides, aren't you afraid of losing face?"
"What face do I want if the inner lining is gone? Throw it away! You are right, in this era, who can want a marriage that you don't want? I believe Ning Zheng didn't think about it for the time being." Well, in the final analysis, he should also be a reasonable person, after all, he has been educated in the West and pays attention to civil rights."
Feng Jiu was happy again, Melanie looked at Feng Jiu who was full of confidence, held her hands and shook, "I wish you success soon!"
"must!"
The two cheerfully shared the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and duck gizzards that Melanie's father had brought back from Nanjing, and walked to the classroom arm in arm, when they suddenly ran into Ning Hongsi on the way.
Ning Hongsi has known them for a long time. This person has always been very low-key, but he can see that he has a good family background. He often rides a bicycle to and from school, and the car that occasionally picks him up is just an ordinary car. Hongsi He never talked about his family background with anyone, only knew that his father had passed away long ago, and he lived with his widowed mother and members of the clan.
Ning Hongsi looks very handsome, he is a famous school girl in Tongze Boys' High School, Feng Jiu and Mei Lan are also acquaintances of him, so they greeted him warmly, Feng Jiu stopped and listened to Ning Hongsi is okay Slowly explained why he came here, and said that he would find her later, Fengjiu answered absent-mindedly, his eyes flicked across his face, suddenly a string in her mind was plucked, and she turned her gaze back to Hongsi He stared at him carefully again, Hong Si found out, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? I don't know him anymore?"
Melanie on the side felt ashamed for Fengjiu—even if she suddenly fell in love with the school girl, she should be a bit reserved and not be so explicit, right?What's more, when did Feng Jiu show even a little bit of liking for Ning Hongsi?
She calmly pinched Feng Jiu's arm, Feng Jiu was like waking up from a dream, and said to Hong Si: "Student Ning, I have some private matters to trouble you, can I take a step to talk?"
She winked at Melanie, and Melanie realized that things didn't seem to be what she thought. She patted Feng Jiu's back lightly, said goodbye to Hong Si, and entered the teaching building.
Just now, Feng Jiu was shocked to discover that although she has always had a problem of not being able to remember other people's faces, she is slightly face-blind in modern times, so the second time she ate hot pot and saw Ning Zheng recognized it, it was purely because he made an appointment at the time. Arrived at the dating place; and it was not until the third meeting at the school drama festival that she could barely remember Ning Zheng's appearance; and Feng Jiu could recognize Bao Buqu because he was the first Cantonese person she had ever seen , and the unyielding Cantonese Northeast Mandarin is very distinctive.
But from the first time they met, she felt that Ning Zheng looked strangely familiar; now that she saw Ning Hongsi again, she realized that Ning Hongsi and Ning Zheng looked so alike, Moreover, both of them are surnamed Ning...
Seeing that Feng Jiu sent Melania away on purpose, Hong Si felt strange, he would not pretend to think that Feng Jiu was trying to show love to him, like so many girls have done over the years.
At this time, the two happened to be not far from the entrance of the "Shining Building", which was the teaching building. Feng Jiu looked at the students who were coming and going. Looking at them thoughtfully, he covered his mouth and said something.
Feng Jiu spoke with difficulty: "Student Ning..."
Hongji kept looking at her beautiful face with a smile, and there was eagerness and darkness in his eyes: "What's the matter, Classmate Tang?"
Fengjiu hates blatant pursuits. This is an open secret in both schools in Tongze, so Fengjiu miraculously maintains good popularity among boys and girls at the same time. "In the crazy age of ", it is not uncommon for many female students to openly pursue married teachers or live with older men, and it is even rarer to see beautiful women with good family background and good homework who are so reserved and self-loving.
Kouji looked at her clear and confused eyes, thinking in his heart that he had known each other for two years, the two of them could be considered acquaintances, and he began to secretly think about an idea that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"Who are you, Mr. Ning Zhengning?" She asked straightforwardly.
Ning Hongsi's heart skipped a beat: "Did you see it?"
Feng Jiu nodded, "You both look alike."
Ning Hongsi suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart: "He is my third uncle."
Feng Jiu smiled, but there was a kind of coldness in this smile, like a clear river flowing downwards, suddenly encountered extreme cold, and was frozen for life - uncle and nephew are not a few years old, such things happen in This era is very common, and the two seem to be of the same age.
She likes Ning Hongsi very much, of course as a classmate, because in working with him many times, Hongsi's calm, generous, meticulous thinking and ability to plan and execute various activities are outstanding. At this age, most of the male students are still young and immature, but Ning Hongsi's performance can be called mature, so among the men of her generation, her evaluation of Hongsi is no lower than that of Hutou. This is also the only boy among his peers who has been recognized by Miss Tang Liu.
Ning Hongsi was originally here to report on the expenses of several activities held jointly with the girls' school this semester. Of course, this matter is not that urgent, but Ning Hongsi is still very happy to assign this errand to himself. Report to the student office, and then visit your old partner Feng Jiu.
But now the situation...Hong Si looked around, "There is a small garden behind the 'Shiningshen Building', let's go there and talk."
Fengjiu smiled gratefully, and the two entered the small garden one after the other.
It is now the summer season, and there is still one month before the beginning of autumn. The summer sun is still quite powerful. The noon sun shines straight down on the dark green leaves. The maple leaves have not turned red, and the aspen leaves have not changed. It is golden yellow, and the clumps of old-fashioned reds beside it are blooming beautifully. The tall leaves and stems stand on top of each other, like the bright red cockscomb on the head of a big rooster. The meat is very thick, There are a lot of purple-black "tiantian'er" on the low and short white flowers next to it, which is actually nightshade, the most common small berry in Fengtian, which is very ripe, and there is still a strong midsummer smell everywhere.
In the past, when Fengjiu saw Tiantian'er, she must have squatted down and grabbed enough to eat, but today she was not in such a mood. When she walked to a sculpture of a little girl sitting on a moon and bowing her head to read, she said softly: " Classmate Ning, I came to you to say these things as my friend, because the situation is a bit serious, so I hope you can keep it a secret."
Hong Si's heart tightened, and he looked straight at Feng Jiu: "Don't worry, I will absolutely keep my mouth shut. I swear in the name of my deceased father, you can trust me completely."
Feng Jiu was moved when he heard this. At this moment, Hong Si's behavior is really a gentleman.
"Ning Zheng, your third uncle, is engaged to me."
Kouji's smile suddenly froze on his face, what did he hear?His third uncle, who is outstanding and shining in the eyes of the world, actually wants to marry...
"This should still be a secret, our family members don't even know about it yet." Kouji said in a deep voice.In order to avoid complications, the scheming old man did not make public the marriage of his future successor as usual, and the Tang government naturally cooperated, so apart from a few Tang family and Ning family, her engagement to Ning Zheng was still a secret in Fengtian.
The old handsome is also thoughtful, if something like Tang Fenglin's escape from marriage happens again, where will his old face be put?He had the foresight back then, so he never announced his own son's marriage. What happened afterwards?Thankfully it was covered.So until the marriage is ripe, the old man still doesn't plan to make this matter public.
"There should be a few people in your family who know that the appointment was made by the old handsome Fifth Aunt and Aunt Ning Zheng... He also said that he doesn't want my eldest sister's escape from marriage to happen again, and I can only accept it." Feng Jiu said in a low voice, and his two thin white and slender hands were tightly twisted together.
Ning Hongsi looked at her actions, not surprised at all that Feng Jiu didn't like his third uncle, "Then what do you want to do now?"
There was a light in Feng Jiu's eyes, and Hong Si saw his reflection in her clear pupils, "Student Ning, I know that my request is too much, but can you tell me something about your third uncle... …and then I can—”
"So you can talk to him to put him off?"
Feng Jiu gave a small "hmm", feeling relieved that Hong Si understood his intention so quickly.
Hong Si slowly shook his head: "My third uncle looks gentle and courteous on the surface, but he is full of arrogance in his bones. He probably won't accept your rejection."
This is half true, right?Ning Zheng is actually very domineering and likes to make his own opinions, Feng Jiu added a few more words in his stomach.
"Then why did he accept my sister's disengagement without any hesitation?" Feng Jiu was a little confused.
"I don't think he cares about your sister." Hong Si tried his best to say euphemistically. Although Miss Tang's escape from marriage was a secret, everyone in the Ning family knew about it. However, Hong Si did not follow his third uncle. There was no sign of regret or remorse on his face, but a relaxed look. It seemed that the dissolution of the engagement was exactly what he wanted.
This was his own negligence, Hong Si secretly reviewed in his heart: he never thought that his third uncle would act so quickly and get engaged again not long after.
"Besides, he really can't find any faults in other aspects except for his female sexuality." Hongji wanted to be fair in his evaluation of the third uncle, because it related to the foundation of his life; he peeked Look at Fengjiu—it's still a bit difficult to talk about his third uncle's affair with the woman he likes.
Fengjiu's eyes lit up, and his gaze was suddenly as eager as the scorching sun at noon, and his whole body became joyful: "Can you tell me more about him? There are very few news about him in the newspapers, but most of them are speculative. I can't find anything useful, and my family won't talk about such things in front of us." That's natural, even if there are some rumors, but who would talk about such a goddamn topic in front of a woman who hasn't left the cabinet?
"Well, it was my grandfather who purposely prevented those major newspapers from reporting news about my third uncle. After all, he is my grandfather's only legitimate son." There was a hint of sarcasm in Hong Si's words.
Feng Jiu was silent, and quickly understood that Hongsi's father seemed to be born to the old handsome concubine, but this is not the point, she continued: "Student Ning, since we have all talked about this, I have no choice but to be cheeky." Tell me about my views on marriage and love. I will never accept such a man as my husband. Your third uncle should be the most ideal husband in the eyes of many women, but not including me; my ideal marriage , It should be a combination of two clean-spirited people, not, not—" Feng Jiu still couldn't continue, and his fine skin like white jade, which was hardly tanned by the sun, slowly turned red.
Hongji's face also turned red, and he said in a low voice, "Student Tang, I understand you. Many international students in our country did have irregularities in their private lives when they were studying in the West, and they are also sensual in China... Let me tell you Say what I know is a woman who has had trouble with my third uncle, maybe this will help you. Also, do you want me to talk to my third uncle first?"
Feng Jiu had just overcome the shame of confessing his heart to outsiders. Hearing this, he raised his head in astonishment: "Thank you, but you really don't need it, and this is already troublesome for you. Besides, I still have to talk to him personally about this kind of thing." It's good to talk, I don't want to involve you for no reason, and, at least on the surface, this matter is still a secret... Now, please ask classmate Ning to share the "Third Uncle" - "Love Past"", speaking of this, The corners of Feng Jiu's lips raised mockingly, "Tell me about it."
Hongji sighed softly, feeling a little sorry for the third uncle, but the third uncle, who is always romantic and always in love, is not worthy of the pure and crystal-like Feng Jiu, he firmly thinks so, not to mention...of course , I can only speak slowly.
Feng Jiu was very excited when she learned about Ning Zheng's dewy marriages in the past few years. She bowed deeply to Hong Si to express her gratitude, which made the always steady Hong Si flustered.
The two said their goodbyes just like that, Hong Si watched Feng Jiu, who was full of fighting spirit, turn around and stride away, with mixed feelings in his heart, suddenly the idea that had been silently brewing in his heart just now popped up, and he could no longer stop it.
"Bong Jiu!" Hong Si called Feng Jiu, looked at the girl and turned around in surprise, "Huh?"
"I have an excuse, I don't know if it can be used?" Hong Si's heart was beating very fast suddenly, he felt in a daze that this was an opportunity, it was fleeting, and it would be a pity not to seize it.
"What?" Feng Jiu ran back interested.
"Would you like to say—that you and I are in love with each other..." Kouji said in a low voice.
Feng Jiu was taken aback: "Ah?! Hey! Don't drag you into it anymore, how will you meet your third uncle then? If you want to offend him, it's enough for me to offend him alone. Thank you very much! "
Fengjiu smiled sweetly, and waved to Hongsi again. The lunch break was almost over, and she trotted away.
Kouji looked at her slightly swaying slender waist, her round shoulders, a big black braid bouncing lively on her slender back from behind, and the purple blue silk tied at the end of the braid. The camellias also jumped up and flew away, and indescribable loss and sadness slowly filled my heart.
Then I thought, no matter what, I always fought for it, and if I want to come in the future, I won't regret it.
…………
"Ah?!" Melanie's eyes widened and her expression was serious—after Feng Jiu entered the classroom, he took the opportunity to pull Melanie out, and told her all the key points of the conversation with Kouji just now.
After hearing this, Melanie recovered from the shock of learning about Ning Hongsi's relationship with the Ning family, and gave Feng Jiu a thumbs up, admiring her friend's amazing eyesight and quick brain.
Fengjiu thought that the matter of refusal to marry should not be too radical, but should set a timetable, step by step, advance step by step, smooth out everything that will be said, it is best to prepare several sets of plans, maybe the two of them will reach a conclusion once they open their mouths Consensus?hey-hey.Thinking that the vision might come true, Feng Jiu became happy again.
