Xu Xuzhi

Chapter 7
Since the farewell to "Fushoulou", Fengjiu has received several calls from Bao Buqu: Of course the number was not given by Fengjiu, and Ning Zheng also refused on the grounds that he could not make decisions without the consent of the lady. I found it in the phone book of my business partner left in the mansion.

Feng Jiu was quite helpless: she heard from the concierge that this persistent suitor had waited for her at the four gates of her house, and her idea was to wait for the rabbit—fortunately, Feng Jiu had to wait for the wind if he wanted to go out. And walking—and it takes a long time to beat it, it's hard enough for him, a Cantonese, in the cold weather.

Fengjiu thinks it's not a problem if things go on like this, and now the whole house is aware of the disturbance: the whispers of the servants, the hesitant look of his stepmother, and even his half-sister Fengling. Laughing at her, if it goes on like this, it will definitely reach the ears of my father and elder brother.

Since Fengjiu entered the new school at the age of 12, she has always had many suitors, but the male students only dared to pursue her in the school, openly or secretly, and never dared to make trouble in Fengtian's famous "Wuling Garden". In the past, the Tang Mansion had a reputation of nobleness. It has been in business for a hundred years, and its roots have already grown deep. Fengjiu herself is outstanding. Anyone who wants to pursue her has to weigh his own weight first, and among these male students, they are richer than the Tang Mansion. People, not yet.

Feng Jiu knew that this Mr. Bao had a lot to do with his family. Fortunately, so far, he has been relatively restrained, and he has not revealed his identity as the "Bao family in the alley"; If the father and elder brother also heard about it, it would be even more difficult to deal with it.

So, when she heard that Bao Buqu was waiting for her at the door of her house, she purposely took a detour from the west courtyard where she lived, and went out through the north corner gate. He wore a thick black fox fur coat, with his arms open, revealing a dark purple suit with gray pinstripes and a light gray tie. This combination of Chinese and Western styles is obviously a bit strange, but wearing it on him, With his tall and slender figure and westernized appearance, they complement each other perfectly. Last time Feng Jiu noticed that Bao Buqu is one of the rare men who is very aesthetically capable and good at grooming himself. In all fairness, he is handsome. young people.

He was smoking with his head down, and when he heard the door slamming, he raised his head, and saw Feng Jiu coming out wearing a red feather veil cloak, his face that was so calm and somewhat depressed instantly glowed, which made Feng Jiu feel excited about what he was about to say next. I'm sorry.

His hurried steps to meet him formed a stark contrast with Feng Jiu who was walking slowly.

Feng Jiu called out: "Mr. Bao."

Although Bao Buqu suppressed it as much as possible, he still stared at her with warm eyes for a long time before he said gently: "Why are you so out of touch? Just call me by my name."

"But you're six years older than me, so it's disrespectful." Everyone reported their ages at the dinner together last time, so this time Feng Jiu unceremoniously used it as a reason for her to dislike each other.

Bao Buqu was a little dazed: Ever since he met Feng Jiu for the second time, he had thought about it over and over in his heart. He thought that he and Feng Jiu had the same appearance, they were the right family, not to mention a match made in heaven, but also a beautiful couple. In pairs.I'm only in my twenties this year, and it's okay to say that I've just passed the weak crown, so how come I'm dismissed as a bad old man in his seventies and eighties?Besides, since ancient times, powerful men have been exclusively interested in teenage girls. Isn't it also the case that Zhang Ji, who is eighty, marries a young girl who is eighteen?Can he still leave a line of the famous poem "a pear blossom presses the begonia" that has been chanted through the ages, how did it become like this to him?

Bao Buqu quickly came to his senses, he was not afraid of Feng Jiu's rejection, since he opened his eyes to women, what kind of woman has he never seen?It can be called a complete variety and a variety of attitudes. At the beginning, I took Joe, but later I became so enthusiastic that I couldn’t get rid of it too much. It’s just that his young master has changed his sex, and he likes the red plum in the snow in front of him. A pretty girl, it doesn't matter how many times she refuses, she is sincere, and she is not afraid that she won't be able to catch her hand.

Besides, he was more serious than ever this time, and the strange throbbing in his heart told him that if he didn't fight for the future, he would definitely regret it. This is because he wanted to marry and go home, so naturally he couldn't be obscene, so he couldn't just stay in the distance.

Bao Buqu discussed with a good temper: "Six years old is not too old, is it? I am also a young man, and I can chat with you again. Besides, I just want to be friends with Miss Tang, so I don't have to avoid it like a snake and a scorpion?"

Feng Jiu felt that a person like Bao Buqu must have the spirit of "broken pants wrapped around his legs - stalking" as the saying goes in Fengtian. If he doesn't give him a good time, I'm afraid such behavior will last forever. Yes, she doesn't want to be the object of everyone's excitement.

Then I can only use strong medicine, Feng Jiu cleared his throat, although he was a little embarrassed, but for the sake of peace in the future... sorry for the tiger head.

She raised her head and looked straight into Bao Buqu's deep eyes: "Mr. Bao, do you want to get along with me like a boyfriend and girlfriend?"

This was indeed the case during the period of the Republic of China. Young men and women who had received a new type of education spoke more directly to each other.Bao Buqu was taken aback, but still broke into a smile: "Indeed." Although he was a little embarrassed, he still added: "I'm serious, please don't take it as a joke."

Feng Jiu feigned embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, in fact, I already have someone to marry..."

After hearing this, Bao Buqun's heart sank slightly, but on second thought, he didn't believe it - since he knew Feng Jiu's identity, he had entrusted a reliable person to find out the exact news. What does this mean...

"I have a childhood sweetheart, a boyfriend, and we have already agreed to get married after graduating from college; we are the same age, we grew up together, 'know the root and know the bottom'," Feng Jiu deliberately emphasized these four words , "The temperament is also similar, so I just need to tell my parents. So Mr. Bao, thank you very much for your wrong love, but I am sorry that there is nothing I can do."

Fengjiu used to reject male classmates, but she used so many words, she simply said "Sorry, I don't want to fall in love", and it was over.However, for someone of Bao Buyi's rank, saying such a thing would definitely not work.

Bao Buqu was stunned, he was a little uncertain about Fengjiu's attitude, maybe it was the truth, maybe it was prevarication, but Bao Buqu still felt a chill in his heart, no matter what it was, Tang Fengjiu definitely didn't think he was real anyway .

Feng Jiu looked at his eyes that suddenly dimmed, but she didn't feel any regret in her heart--Feng Jiu had a lot of sympathy, but never much in the suitor.Bao Buyi's appearance, family background, and methods clearly show that he is a playboy. Although she has never seen it much, she has already understood it from the discussions of female students. This kind of person is generally very arrogant. Besides, studying abroad Those who came back still paid attention to civilization, and they couldn't do the thing of beating mandarin ducks, which is what Lu Zi, a high-ranking soldier, is best at.

I believe that what happened this time was nothing more than a whim on his mind. Now she is talking harshly and directly blocking the road, so as to save herself from any embarrassing actions in the future.

Bao Buqu and Feng Jiu looked at each other with slightly cold eyes, unexpectedly there was a trace of ruthlessness in this little girl's big clear eyes, but it was strangely harmonious with her clear and spiritual feeling, this contradictory little girl Ah... He had never encountered such a complete rejection in front of a young woman, and his heart was broken before he could succeed, and a huge sense of loss suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Can you tell me, who is your ideal person?" Bao Buyi calmed down, half-believing, but still spoke with difficulty.

It seems that he will not give up unless he finds out who Ziwu Maoyou is.That's right, such a false statement is indeed not convincing.Feng Jiuyi gritted his teeth, aren't friends just for betrayal?What's more, Fa Xiao'er, "His name is Wei Yuanhua, he is a close relative of my family. Of course we are not related by blood. We are very nice people." After finishing speaking, he pretended to be shy and lowered his head.

Bao Buqu was very shocked. Since Tang Fengjiu dared to name him, it seems that there is a real person. Moreover, the fact that they are in love with each other is probably not a coincidence.His face became more and more gloomy.

Feng Jiu secretly apologized in his heart: I'm sorry, Hutou, I pulled you out to block the gun, and I will definitely buy you a lot of delicious and fun things to compensate you.

Bao Buqu squeezed the brim of his hat, and slowly turned it in his hand a few times, "Sorry for the interruption, Miss Tang, please forgive my unintentional offense. But, is it okay to just be ordinary friends?" An entreaty that is easy to refuse.

"...Yes, of course." Feng Jiu responded lukewarmly with a haha. At the same time, he thought about it quickly and decided to see that the Bao family is an important business partner of the Tang family. It's better.

Bao Buqu secretly sighed, the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to give up, he can only "grind tofu with water - take your time".

He said goodbye to Fengjiu politely, once again begged her to forgive him for his rashness, and when he turned around and got into the car, his face fell down.After returning to the camp, he made a phone call as soon as he entered the mansion: "Help me check someone, Wei Yuanhua, who is very close to the Tang family... For the rest, let's talk about it."

Feng Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and then thought of something: What if Bao Buyi confronted Hutou?It is still necessary to explain the ins and outs of the matter to him as soon as possible, so as not to reveal the truth.

She hurried back and taught Mama Wu how to make Hutou's favorite food, "Open Smile", and she sold what she learned now. After less than a quarter of an hour of hard work, twenty finished products were already out of the pot.Although the appearance is not good, but after a taste, the taste is not bad.Wu Ma looked at the shape that was not round or square, and thought it would be embarrassing to show it out, but Feng Jiu didn't care, didn't it seem more sincere?She packed it in a single-layer food box made of bamboo, wood, and red lacquer, and hurriedly carried it away, and went to the third uncle's house on the north side of Wuling Garden across the wall to ask Hutou to make amends.

Wei Yuanhua is learning English in his small study. Although he went to a mediocre middle school, he never slackens in his homework and is a good student with excellent grades.Hearing the familiar brisk footsteps at the door, he put the book aside suspiciously and looked at the door.Soon the door was pushed open without even knocking, revealing Feng Jiu's smiling face.

Feng Jiu walked in straight away, pushed the books and papers on the desk with a "crash", cleared a blank table, and opened the food box he brought.This sunflower-shaped food box is divided into four compartments, two of which seem to be his favorite "open smile" - it seems that it is because this is not the authentic round shape of "open smile", and the other two compartments are placed some dried fruit.

Uninvited, with his favorite midpoint, this rare dog-legged look is really strange, he crossed his arms, looked suspiciously at the lotus noodles in front of him, and felt that he still had a lot to say about Feng Jiu Right—a guy who has no profit and can't afford to be early, for no reason, will be so kind to himself?
Fengjiu approached courteously, picked up the chopsticks in the food box, took out some refreshments and put them on a celadon plate on the table, the golden "smile" matched with the plate as blue as the rain had passed, attracting people appetite.

The tiger's head was not visible, he lowered his arms, took the chopsticks handed over cooperatively, picked up and ate one, tasted the taste, it was really good, sweet, crispy and soft, so he ate three or four in a row.Feng Jiu leaned his elbows on the table, put his hands on his chin, and watched with a smile.

After Hutou finished eating, his mouth was a little dry, and before he could express anything, a cup of steaming tea was brought to his mouth.After he finished his tea, a beautiful handkerchief with a duck-gray background and small blue-green floral flowers came up to him in a very considerate manner, and wiped the remaining debris from the corners of his mouth for him.

The long and beautiful eyes of the tiger's head stared directly at Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu was very capable, and just looked at him meaningfully.Hutou was defeated, sighed, leaned his thin and youthful body back on the armchair he was sitting on, and picked up his teacup, "Tell me, what mess do you want me to help you clean up again?"

Feng Jiu hurriedly circled half a circle from the opposite side of him and turned behind him, raised two fists and patted his shoulder courteously.

"Tiger head, in case someone comes to you these days and asks you... just say that we are in a relationship and will get married after graduating from college, do you hear me?"

Hutou spit out a sip of tea, ruining the job he put aside and took over from his classmates. It was the most satisfying piece of "Ten Rhymes of Huaicheng" that he had spent all morning transcribing. Take a look at this cursive script from Lu You. The poetry is fluent and lofty, and the handwriting is fresh and pleasant. It's a pity.

Hutou turned around, his face sank, Fengjiu hurriedly clasped his fists and begged for forgiveness: "Please, please, in order to avoid future troubles, I did this as a last resort, please learn from Brother Hutou!"

Hutou was happy.

He raised his right palm upright, and clasped four slender fingers with thin calluses at will. Feng Jiu leaned over to please him, and consciously offered his own face. He closed his eyes, as if he would resign himself Son, but in my heart I was not without complacency thinking that it would be like pinching my face and brain, and pulling my ears, so I am not afraid.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. Feng Jiu couldn't bear it any longer. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she suddenly felt something warm and moist flash past her lips, and her heart couldn't help but "bang!" "Bang" jumped in a panic, only dared to open his eyes slowly.

The face of Hutou was right in front of her eyes, the face that was originally shining white was now red as if it was about to bleed, her eyes flashed with the light she was familiar with that she had seen in the eyes of other boys.

A little awkward, a little frightened, her face also turned red suddenly, Hutou immediately turned her head, leaned forward, picked up a book, and said subtly: "Okay, I get it, this thunder, I I carried it for you. You can go back."

"Oh, good..." Feng Jiu grabbed the food box and ran away, leaving only the tiger's head behind. He smiled unconsciously, raised his hand and caressed his lips inexplicably, and then, there was a cloud of sadness It was full of this young man's handsome face.

Ningjun Military Headquarters.

After hearing Zhi Changsheng's report, Ning Zheng laughed "chi" and didn't speak.Zhi Changsheng rubbed his hands, "It is conceivable that Six Miss Tang rejects Mr. Bao, but... that Wei Yuanhua——"

Ning Zheng frowned: Jing sent people to watch Bao Buyi for a while, but unexpectedly, the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole were behind, and this childhood sweetheart Wei Yuanhua sounded a little tricky, "What's the situation with him?"

"Both of my parents died, and I didn't leave behind any wealth. I lived in the home of my married aunt, who is Miss Tang's Sixth Miss and Third Uncle's wife. After graduation, I planned to enter the shop opened by the third house of the Tang family to learn business. I had no intention of continuing my studies."

Hutou's big name is Wei Yuanhua, and he is the nephew of Third Aunt Feng Jiu. Because he was born with a tiger's head and a tiger's head, he was nicknamed Hutou, but the older he grows, the more handsome he becomes.

His family background was rough, his parents died young, and Aunt Fengjiu was a strong person. Although she was married long ago, she loved her brother's only flesh and blood very much. children are kept together.

Hutou and Fengjiu are about the same age, so they have a very good relationship. At that time, the three households in the Tang Mansion had not yet separated. Come on, mischievous and mischievous people always cooperate with each other tacitly, sharing blessings, and sharing difficulties naturally: including kneeling in the ancestral hall together, standing as a punishment, copying books, starving meals... It can be called a standard childhood sweetheart.

So, Ning Zheng knocked on the table, frowned slightly, and began to think carefully.
