Xu Xuzhi

Chapter 20 Xu Yong
Bi Datong was driving, and Ning Zheng sat in the back seat with Feng Jiu. As soon as he got in the car, he put his arms around her shoulders, wanting her to lean against him, but was naturally rejected, so Ning Zheng wrapped a blanket around her, He had to behave personally in every detail, he thought it would be gentle and considerate, and would win the favor of his fiancée, but in fact it made Feng Jiu very annoyed.

In the direction of the car, I inevitably passed by the Red Beach. Feng Jiu didn't like to talk to Ning Zheng any more, so he just lay on the open window and looked out of the car. , but after a while, Feng Jiu still buckled a stone blue officer's cap with a large brim on his head.

"Don't catch a cold again." Ning Zheng said kindly behind him, and Bi Datong, who was driving in front, couldn't help but tremble all over his body: such a third young master is too unaccustomed.

As a person, his status has been there since he was a child, coupled with his high talent and praise, and his young age does not know the depth, it is inevitable that he will be used to the young master's temper by the people around him.

It's just that I still remember the teachings of my mother who died young, and I know how to be restrained. Most of the time, I can still hold it. I look gentle and kind on the outside, but everyone around me knows that Ning Zheng's arrogance is engraved in his bones. .

Just like the men who "know the lust and admire Shaoai", the women are no different.However, for Ning Zheng, women have always been chasing him, and he has never seen him treat a woman who can't even be called a woman so softly and calmly.

It seems that those who want to marry back home are treated differently.

Feng Jiu turned his head expressionlessly, and raised his face slightly: Women's head circumference is generally smaller than that of men, not to mention Feng Jiu's good-looking, slender and graceful, and even his head is smaller. Generally pressed down, not only covered Fengjiu's eyebrows and eyes, but also half of the bridge of the nose disappeared, only the lower half of the face was exposed outside, the corners of the childish mouth that was already a little drooping had completely drooped down, looking like a child. With the expression of "I don't want to talk to you at all", Ning Zheng suddenly laughed.

Laughing, he reached out to take off the hat and put it on his head again, and put a floral cloth scarf that he pulled out from some corner of Wujia Bieye around Fengjiu's head.Feng Jiu knew that he meant well, but he still blocked his hand, and neatly tied the two corners of the scarf under his chin.

Not to mention, after wearing this one, she really looks like... a village girl. After all, the color of the big red flower on the yellow ground is quite bright and strong, full of the heroic spirit of a country girl outside the Guan, but from Ning Zheng's admiring expression From the looks of it, such Feng Jiu is also beautiful.

Feng Jiu didn't care about her current image, she continued to turn her head to look at the Suaeda reeds, birds foraging, fish flying and people doing farm work on the large wetland.

Suddenly, red-crowned cranes all over the sky flew up and down, singing loudly in pairs. The young male cranes inevitably played and played. They bent their knees and lowered their heads for a while, as if curtseying to each other; Like a fight.

Feng Jiu watched with fascination when the red-crowned crane flew up, the two rows of black flying feathers under its wide and white wings, and the black scarf around its slender neck, and the most dazzling thing was the bright red crane crown on the top of its head. The crane legs with lonely feet are born with an ink painting style, free and easy.

Feng Jiu's neck was twisted all the time, and his eyes were reluctant to blink. Ning Zheng looked down at the Swiss gold watch on his wrist, and then asked Bi Datong to stop the car.

Feng Jiu originally wanted to take a look and leave, but suddenly found that the car stopped, she couldn't help but look back at Ning Zheng, Ning Zheng explained: "If you want to watch it, you can enjoy it, after all, this kind of scenic spot once a year, It will be next year if we can see them again. Sometimes if we are lucky, we will catch up with them and dance the crane dance together.”

As soon as the words fell, thousands of red-crowned cranes seemed to understand Ning Zheng's words and wanted to show off his face. Suddenly, they raised their heads in unison and let out a clear whistle, with a loud roar; After a while, they fluttered their wings in unison and rushed straight into the blue sky, like a large white cloud passing across the sky.

The group of people were all fascinated by this natural wonder, watching greedily in silence.

After a while, Ning Zheng said again: "Every year in mid-spring, the male cranes will dance the courtship dance to the female cranes, which is also very interesting. But they are all in pairs, not as spectacular as this season."

Feng Jiu was eager for skills for a while, and thought of Song Huizong's "Ruihe Picture" with a wonderful composition and fairy air, secretly thinking about going back and painting a few freehand paintings of cranes, so as to live up to the beautiful scenery in front of him; I also thought that last time the mandarin duck and the lotus in Baofa Garden were owed a painting, and this time I will have to make up for it when I go back.

After watching the crane dance, it was almost noon, Feng Jiu retracted his neck and sat down obediently, Ning Zheng glanced at it, said to drive, and the Ford drove towards the special train in a hurry.

This is Feng Jiu's first time on the Ningjia special train.This time I made a special trip to pick up the sick future mistress of the Ning Mansion, so for the convenience of scheduling, only four cars were attached to it. Even so, there are also dining cars, living room cars and sleeping cars, and the fourth car is reserved for the guards. .

As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Ning Zheng got out of the car without waiting for Bi Datong to open the door, followed by several guard brigade cars that followed.The personal guards stood in a circle behind Ning Zheng, their faces turned outward, and they vigilantly checked the surroundings.

Ning Zheng turned around and helped Feng Jiu out, ignoring Feng Jiu's silent struggle, and directly picked her up with a blanket, boarded the train, sent her to the sofa in the living room, and sat down next to her.

Although the Tang family is a wealthy family, they do not have the right to own a special train.This is the difference between money and power.

The living room of the special train is very luxurious. Compared with the first-class compartment of the most luxurious passenger car, it is not bad. It is spacious and comfortable, covered with thick silk carpet, sofa, coffee table, floor lamp, radio, and white gauze curtains on the windows.

Feng Jiu was almost pissed off. She had a fever, not a limp, but just now there were so many people outside the train, she didn't have the nerve to make a sound.

As soon as she was laid flat on the couch, she immediately jumped up and angrily walked to a single sofa opposite the couch by the window and sat down. Ning Zheng glanced at her, took off her military cap casually, got up and hung it on the sofa. On the coat rack at the side, walked back and stood in front of her, Feng Jiu's eyes widened to see what he wanted to do, but he stretched out his arms again, intending to hug himself, Feng Jiu was really impatient, and his voice was cold Said: "Ning Zheng, you are enough!"

Ning Zheng presciently grabbed the hands that were waved up, and kissed the backs of the hands, "Where is this, how can it be?" Words that were true or false, soft and shallow, strong Thick eyes.

Feng Jiu couldn't bear it anymore, and started to scream loudly: "Get out of here! Stay away from me!"

Old and new grudges came to my mind: from the forced engagement at the beginning, to the occasional hands-on later, to this time simply taking advantage of others' dangers to get her off... what else? Beating, scratching and biting, but Feng Jiu still knew how to measure, and he didn't hit people in the face; Ning Zheng dodged left and right at first, but gave up resisting after thinking about it, and simply let her move.

Beating people is also physical labor. After a while, Feng Jiu, who had just recovered from the cold, was also tired.

Ning Zheng succeeded in the end, he picked her up high like a child in a good mood, and easily lifted her into the air. Feng Jiu was pinched by his two armpits on both sides, unable to move, so he simply threw his arms and legs. Passively resisting, relying on the advantage of being in a high place by the way, glared at him with both nostrils.

Ning Zheng watched her usually with her nostrils retracted inwards, her two nostrils, which were always round because she didn't show any flesh, were expressing her silent disdain and indignation towards herself, it was really interesting.

At the end of the teasing, Ning Zheng finally sat down, and sat on his lap with Feng Jiu in his arms.

For the skinless and shameless Ning Zheng, Feng Jiu didn't have the energy to continue fighting with him, so he could only lean back against his chest and pant slightly, secretly hating himself for not weighing two hundred catties, and crushing him to death.

I don’t know how many times Feng Jiu has done this to himself: Ning Zheng has grown up so much, it was common for him to fight with boys when he was young, and he also had a few fights with white classmates in the US Military Academy. Because of his background in martial arts, he shot Steady and ruthless has never been a disadvantage, but being bitten and beaten by a young girl several times is really an experience I have never had before.

He felt that it was very fresh, and he didn't think it was disobedient. Instead, he felt that there was an old saying in Northeast China that was true, "Beating is love if you are kissing. If you don't beat or scold, you will not be happy."

What does this mean?It means that Feng Jiu is willing to get close to him only when he has him in his heart. This is better than how many couples in the world are polite and alienated, isn't it?
... If Fengjiu knew what he was thinking at the moment, he would definitely regret fighting him.

Ning Zheng looks indifferent, but in fact has strong feelings.

More than ten years ago, his father's official position became bigger and bigger, and his vision became higher and higher. If he didn't say anything, he had long looked down on his wife who helped him make a fortune and who had accompanied him in the deep mountains and old forests. They only lived in Fengtian with their second concubine, Mrs. Tailu, who rushed in, and threw their mother and son in Xinghe Hutong, Xinmin, and only sent a small team of guards to protect them.

When the mother thought about it and had to bite the bullet and come to the door for the sake of the child, the father reacted indifferently. He just had a meal together, and then let the mother take the child in the small cubicle outside his spacious bedroom. settle down.

At that time, my younger sister Qiaozhi was still young, and she suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment, and she had never seen such a stern face of her father before, so she was inevitably afraid of discomfort. Weeping in a low voice, but the old man was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep, he came in angrily with his clothes on, it was inconvenient to complain about his wife, and he didn't beat his daughter Qiaozhi, but he gave Ning Zheng, who he thought he didn't take care of his sister, two big mouths, and beat him. Ning Zheng was completely dumbfounded, and Qiaozhi was so frightened that she immediately stopped crying.

The mother cried loudly, and early the next morning, regardless of the remorseful father who woke up, he took the child back to Xinmin.

In just three months, she became crippled and terminally ill. The captain of the guard sent a telegram to the old man asking him to come back. The old man was busy with official affairs, entertainment and speculation. I couldn't afford to be ill because of this, thinking it was just a common way for women to pretend to be sick and invite pets, so I just sent my second aunt to visit.

After her mother died, she was buried in Yimafang, Jinxian County, which is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

His mother resented his father's death, and Ning Zheng, who had a deep relationship with his biological mother, harbored resentment towards his father for many years.

………………

Ning Zheng patted Feng Jiu's back, and said softly, "Are you comfortable? Just don't hold back. Didn't you hear what the old doctor said? You can't always be so angry. If you feel unhappy in the future, just Find me to vent your anger, and it will be fine after venting, and I promise to be your venting bag, and I will never complain."

Feng Jiu fell backwards: He is clearly the perpetrator, but pretends to be a bodhisattva, he really saw a ghost.

The decoction boiled in the morning had to be continued. Just now Bi Datong put the black pottery pot wrapped in a cotton cover and filled with the decoction on the coffee table with a wink. After closing the door, he went to another carriage to be with his colleagues from the Guard Brigade. stay away.

Holding Feng Jiu in his arms, Ning Zheng leaned over and lifted the lid of the pot, causing Feng Jiu on his knees to fall too. Feng Jiu couldn't help but struggled to get down again. I was afraid it would be too much, so I had to let him go.

He poured the decoction into a blue-and-white porcelain bowl, let it dry for a while, tested the temperature with his hand, then picked it up and handed it to Feng Jiu's mouth, "Drink it."

Feng Jiuduan came over and drank it up, then picked up a glass next to it, which was filled with warm water, and she took a sip to rinse her mouth.

Ning Zheng raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, he had seen his sisters at home spend so much money on medicine, "Don't you think it's hard?"

As for putting health first, once you feel that you are going to have a fever, you will actively cooperate with the doctor. Bitter Medicine took it seriously and ignored him. He took out a book from the banana-leaf-colored cross-body cloth schoolbag he was carrying, stood up and sat on the opposite couch by the window, and read it on his own.

Ning Zheng also stood up, walked over and sat beside Feng Jiu, leaned up cheekily, and was blocked by Feng Jiu sideways.

So he took a closer look, and with the sharp eagle-eyed eyesight of a professional pilot, he could easily tell whether she was reading Jules Verne's "Around the World in Eighty Days" or the French version. : Ning Zheng doesn't know French, but he has read the English version, and the cover design of the English version is exactly the same as the French version.

Ning Zheng felt that the more he got to know Feng Jiu, the more he realized that she was different from the ladies he had met before: they only read movie magazines, women's magazines, and fashion pictorials, and they didn't care about current affairs. I've never seen anyone read science fiction.

Feng Jiu read it in a short time, and Ning Zheng found that Feng Jiu was very easy to get involved in doing things, and her focused eyes would change as the plot progressed.

Ning Zheng rubbed his chin knowingly and looked at her, Feng Jiu seemed to have forgotten that there was someone beside him, and there was no other sound in the living room except the "boom" of the train wheels hitting the rails.

At this time, someone knocked on the door, Bi Datong came in, and sent some documents that needed to be approved, so the two of them read the book and reviewed the documents together, which can be called harmony.

The special train went all the way north, and arrived in Liaoyang an hour and a half later. Bi Datong came in and reported that Xu Yong, the chief of staff of Lieutenant Colonel of the Northeast Aviation Department, was going back to Fengtian with the special train.

Upon hearing this, Ning Zheng immediately waved his hand in agreement to let him come up.

After a while, the door of the carriage opened, and a tall and strong young officer came in. He had a dark complexion, bald head without a military cap, and a head of hard hair standing upright like a hedgehog. He had a dignified appearance and was full of masculinity. Holding his military cap in his hand, he shouted in a rough voice: "Ruiqing! What are you doing, you bastard?"

Seeing Feng Jiu tremble all over, Ning Zheng couldn't help giving a displeased "tsk" to Xu Yong who had just entered the door.

Dare to "tsk tut" at me, Xu Yong's excited face immediately "quacked" down, just about to get mad at Ning Zheng who was sitting on the sofa, when he rolled his eyes, he suddenly saw Ning Zheng next to him by the window On the bed, sat a peerless beauty with a beautiful face.

His big bull-like eyes immediately stared straight, and asked without thinking: "Who is this?"

Feng Jiu couldn't help standing up, and nodded slightly to him.

Ning Zheng was still sitting firmly on the side, and he didn't forget to pull Feng Jiu down to sit down.

"My fiancée." Pointing to Xu Yong again, "I have a son Xu Yong."

Oh, Mr. Xu Yong's reputation is not weaker than Ning Zheng's, of course Feng Jiu has heard of Xu Yong's name.

Ning Zheng's tone was flat and his expression was calm, but who was Xu Yong? Even Ning Zheng, who knew how old Ning Zheng was when he wet the bed, immediately heard the pride that couldn't be concealed.

Xu Yong's heart immediately became sour: the old commander had fought with Xu Yong's father, Xu Delin, and the former deputy of Fengtian Military Affairs for a lifetime, and they could be called both enemies and friends; and this relationship between him and Ning Zheng also continued.

Because of the friendship between their fathers, the two grew up together in Xinmin and went to a private school together; when there are foreign enemies, they share the same hatred, and in peacetime they stumbling each other, wishing to compete in everything and everything.

At the age of 20, when it was time to choose the character, both of them happened to be studying abroad, and the fathers of both sides agreed to choose the character "Ruiqing" for their most valued son. After returning to China, the two met and found that they had changed their names. Energetic, yet unwilling to back down.

Chinese men’s characters are usually called by relatives and friends to show their closeness; and the circle of friends of the two overlaps so much that when they attend a friend’s gathering together, if someone calls “Ruiqing”, both Yes, embarrassing and funny.

But this is not the point, the important thing is: six or seven years ago, Xu Delin, who has always been upright, followed the advice of the old man and was encouraged to lead two hundred guards to Beijing to support the restoration of the abolished emperor. Jiang Lizong, the former acting premier of the State Council of the Beiyang government, always admired his "calmness, honesty, fortitude and bravery" and decisively rescued him.

Xu Delin resented and had no choice but to resent the old man who gained fame and fortune because of this and completely controlled the government and military affairs of Fengtian Province. Since then, the relationship between the two families has become more delicate.

Xu Delin was so grateful to Jiang Chaozong that his life-saving grace was beyond words, so he simply decided to let his most promising son Xu Yong marry Jiang Jinbo, the eldest daughter of Premier Jiang.

Xu Yong was so angry: he graduated from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy two years earlier than Ning Zheng graduated from the American Military Academy. His foreign vision naturally broadens his horizons. He has an extraordinary family background, a tall and strong body, and a firm and resolute personality like his father. His masculinity also attracted the admiration of many beautiful ladies who had received a Western education.

Just a few days after happily enjoying the happy single noble life, Xu Yong was called back by his father to get married. Unlike Ning Zheng, Xu Yong's father had absolute authority in front of him.As soon as they met, he was very disappointed in his wife, and said to Ning Zheng in private: "That face is so long, I can't figure it out all night..."

So, girls who think that men are arrogant and not mean, don't be stupid.

Xu Yong has been busy with the affairs of the aviation department for the past few months. He often travels between France and Beiping, so he can't meet Ning Zheng, but he also learned about Ning Zheng's engagement from the newspaper.But this announcement was unbelievably low-key, and Feng Jiu was different from his sister in that he was not well-known, so Xu Yong thought that Ning Zheng's situation was similar to his own, and it was because his fiancée was not good-looking enough that he hid it, so he felt at ease.

Seeing Fa Xiaoer's fiancée so young and beautiful so suddenly, how could he feel better in his heart?
Ning Zheng didn't take his stinky face seriously, and it wasn't he who forced a long-faced lady onto the jealous Mr. Xu in front of him.

Xu Yong sat down, facing Ning Zheng and offering Jiuliang.

Ning Zheng asked casually: "How about I be a daughter?
"Not bad", Xu Yong also answered casually, suddenly realized something, quickly added a sentence, and said proudly: "You are beautiful, just like me."

The general adjusted his mentality, and he asked leisurely again: "When will you two get married?"

"Next year in June." Ning Zheng's answer was the consensus of the Ning and Tang families, and Xu Yong sensitively noticed the boredom that flashed between Feng Jiu's delicate eyebrows.

If he didn't poke Ning Zheng's lung tube, he wouldn't be a child who knows everything.

Xu Yong stretched his long legs forward and put his hands in his pockets, "Oh, good girl, why did you end up in this white-eyed wolf's den." He was half joking.

When Ning Zheng heard this, he immediately looked at him maliciously.

Feng Jiu's demeanor changes from the time Xu Yong came in to the present, and he has already guessed what Xu Yong is thinking.

Feng Jiu is not pleased with Ning Zheng, but this does not mean that she is willing to be used as a gunman, just to attack her current fiancé in name.

She didn't move when she heard the sound, but looked up at Xu Yong frankly.

Xu Yong said to himself: "Miss Tang is such a beauty, you should relax your mind and not just worry about it. You must live your own life well."

Ning Zheng immediately frowned, Xu Yong, who had always been dead if he didn't dismantle himself, had no clue, and he didn't know what unpleasant words would come out in the next sentence, making Feng Jiu treat him very badly The impression was even worse, and just about to open his mouth to say something, Feng Jiu glanced at him, then turned to look at Xu Yong, who was complacent, and suddenly said without thinking: "My grandma in Shanghai Already 96 years old..."

Xu Yong choked, what does this mean?Ning Zheng, who had a slightly dignified complexion, gave Feng Jiu a puzzled look.

"'A life of seventy is rare in ancient times', Mr. Xu, do you want to know why her old man has such a long life?" As I said earlier, Feng Jiu's voice was like pearls falling on a jade plate, like a general, and when Xu Yong heard it, it was even more Saw it.

Well, my wife, apart from a slightly better family background, is really inferior in everything else.

Feng Jiu's voice was sweet and tight, and Xu Yong unconsciously had a heart of compliance, "Naturally I want to know."

"She never minded her own business."

Xu Yong: "..."

What a formidable little girl, Xu Yong, who unknowingly bit the bait, blushed rarely, and watched Ning Zheng opposite him with a smile on his face.
