Literati Sanctification

Chapter 222
Hong Ningmeng stayed in the boudoir in the servant's mansion of the Ministry of Industry, and carefully looked at herself in the mirror. Today, she specially dressed up, although she probably won't meet Heng Xiulin today, but in her heart Still full of a little hope.

As long as there is a chance, she wants Heng Xiulin to see her best side, so when she got up this morning, she naturally dressed up.

"Meng'er, I'm here to propose marriage. According to the rules, you are not allowed to meet Mr. Heng. What's the use of being so beautiful now?

Hong Yuanhua stepped into the house, looked at Hong Ningmeng who was sizing him up carefully, and immediately said with a teasing smile, there was also Mrs. Wu who came in with him, but Mrs. Wu listened to him and gave him a After rolling his eyes, he ignored him and walked directly towards his daughter.

"Father!"

Hong Ningmeng heard her father's teasing, and suddenly cried out in a tender voice, her daughter's skin is thin, how can she stand such teasing.

"Hahaha!" Hearing his daughter's cry, Hong Yuanhua immediately burst out laughing, and then looked at his daughter full of joy. Being able to let his daughter marry a good family is considered an end to him one of my wishes.

If Heng Xiulin will take care of him in the future, he doesn't have to worry too much. Thinking of this, he is naturally very happy.

Both of them were in the house, looking at Hong Ningmeng with satisfaction, while Hong Ningmeng lowered her head. After a while, Hong Ningmeng asked her mother in a low voice.

"Mother, is Mr. Heng still here?"

Hong Ning dreamed that the sun was about to rise, but she still heard the news of Heng Xiulin's arrival, and she felt a little anxious, so she couldn't help asking.

"This is just a marriage proposal, not a pick-up, why are you so impatient."

Seeing his daughter like this, Hong Yuanhua couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Okay, how can there be such an old and unscrupulous father as a father."

Seeing her husband, she actually started teasing her daughter again, Wu Shi who was on the side couldn't stand it any longer, and directly stopped what he was about to say, and then spoke to her daughter.

"I haven't heard the news about Mr. Heng's arrival, but don't worry, there are already rumors outside, saying that Heng Xiulin himself admitted that he came to the mansion to propose marriage today, and now I don't know how many people gathered outside , I want to see what the number one talent of our Jiang country looks like."

Wu said directly to her daughter, comfortingly, as someone who has been there, she naturally understands that Hong Ningmeng is a little uneasy at the moment, and before Heng Xiulin comes, she can't be completely at ease, and sure, This thing can't go wrong.

The more you care, the more worried you will be.

After Mrs. Wu finished speaking, before Hong Ningmeng could speak, Hong Yuanhua immediately said in a cold voice with some dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, it's actually the night before the engagement, and he went to such a romantic place. If he hadn't personally told others to come here to propose marriage, the old man would have to talk to him about this matter."

Because the fact that Heng Xiulin wanted to propose marriage was already known all over the city, so naturally, even when he went to the Lianyue Tower, he was brought out. Fortunately, it was Heng Xiulin who spent the night there and did not No one knew, otherwise, this Hongyuanhua would have to die of anger.

"What are you humming! I just went to Lianyuelou to drink some wine. Those talented scholars, because Heng Xiulin is about to leave, so they deliberately practiced this. One by one, which one is not romantic, Mr. Heng is already considered very good, how harsh do you want to be?"

Mrs. Wu listened to Hongyuanhua's words, which seemed to be quite domineering, but immediately looked at him, and said coldly, just like what she said, Heng Xiulin is already very good among these talented scholars Not bad.

Those literati, not counting the places where they are nostalgic for their love and romance, they have already taken a lot of concubines in their own small courtyard. Although the principal house has not been taken yet, this attitude is already Very flamboyant.

Then I looked at Heng Xiulin. In terms of talent, no one in this Jiang country can compare to him, right?But that's it, Heng Xiulin has not had a concubine till now, only a servant girl, who has been by his side to serve him all the time.

But does this maid count?Scholars have always been helpless in their daily life, so it is only natural to arrange a maid to follow and serve them.

Looking around, Heng Xiulin also went to those places, but he never stayed overnight, and the number of times he went was extremely rare. I heard that when he was in Tianshui City, Heng Xiulin once stayed in the brothel once. But I heard he was drunk.

And even if they are not drunk, this kind of thing is quite normal, that is, those literati who have families, they sleep out at night, these regular wives only complain in their hearts, but they don't say anything of.

As for Heng Yanlin, it was only this time, and he was still drunk, so it would be even more trivial.

It can be said that Heng Xiulin is very restrained in this regard, and he is extremely gentlemanly. This is already the case. If her husband wants to pick something out, Wu naturally can't bear it.

It wasn't that she thought it was a very normal choice for Heng Xiulin to go to the brothel, but because of the comparison with other people, she felt that Heng Xiulin was very good, so naturally she was very satisfied with Heng Xiulin.

Hong Ningmeng, who was at the side, listened to the conversation between her mother and her mother, and only then did she know that Heng Xiulin went to Lianyue Tower last night, but when she thought of Heng Xiulin, she felt at ease.

She has a kind of blind trust in Heng Xiulin, and feels that Heng Xiulin is not that kind of person, so she is extremely relieved about Heng Xiulin. The only thing she can worry about is whether Heng Xiulin will come here kind of problem.

"You, you, you are simply unreasonable!"

After being scolded by Mrs. Wu, Hong Yuanhua's face was a little bit uncomfortable, and he pointed at Mrs. Wu but didn't know what to say, so he could only say a few words in angrily.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu gave him a contemptuous look, and then said.

"What do you want to say about going to Heng Xiulin, what's the matter, and want to refuse his marriage proposal? This is related to the lifelong happiness of your daughter. That Heng Xiulin is such a good literati, what do you want to do, destroy yourself Is your daughter's happiness not enough?"

As soon as the matter came to Hong Ningmeng, it was as if the Wu family had changed. When he spoke, he was very aggressive and had no intention of giving way to Hongyuanhua.

Is this what Hongyuanhua means?Of course not, he is also extremely satisfied with Heng Xiulin, but his daughter is going to be taken away by Heng Xiulin, so he, the father-in-law, can't be allowed to show so much prestige in front of Heng Xiulin?
It's just that, looking at Wu's appearance now, don't say a few words of prestige, even if he said a few bad words about Heng Xiulin, she would look desperate, which made Hong Yuanhua very depressed. Immediately, his beard was blown out of anger, so he could only flick his sleeves angrily, and ignored Wu Shi.

"Mother, father didn't mean that."

Seeing Hong Yuanhua being angry, Hong Ningmeng also felt a little funny. In the past, her mother and her father had always lived in peace, but now it seemed that her mother was making a fuss, and her father It's not an opponent at all.

Listening to her daughter's words, Mrs. Wu patted her head lovingly, and then said.

"Mother naturally knows that your father didn't mean that. It's just that Jiang Guo's number one genius is about to become his son-in-law. He is naturally a little complacent and a little carried away. That's why mother can't tolerate him so much. .”

Wu looked at her daughter, and then continued.

"If it's in front of outsiders, it's fine for him to be like this. If he wants to be proud, let him be proud, but if he is like this in front of Heng Xiulin, he will be a little carried away. When the time comes to reprimand Heng Xiulin, that matter But it's broken."

"The literati are always extremely arrogant. If he accidentally pokes something in Heng Xiulin's heart, hurts him, or makes Heng Xiulin's arrogance unbearable, then it will be a bad thing."

"You know, those literati are usually very arrogant, and some even dare to scold the emperor. If your father is proud of you and says something wrong, won't it ruin your lifelong happiness? "

After listening to what her mother said in a daze, Hong Ningmeng realized right away that the reason her mother did what she did was because of her, and she felt extremely warm in her heart.

Is it possible what her mother said?Of course there are, as a literati, the one who is not a bit arrogant, just said that Heng Xiulin went to Shuicheng once that day, and he heard that he was stopped by countless big monsters.

Those big monsters told Heng Xiulin himself that if it was his reason, he could be allowed to leave alone, but the others could not leave, but Heng Xiulin was furious when he heard the words, and directly killed him to open a way, All the literati were sent to the water city that day, but he himself was seriously injured and almost died.

Just such a thing, it can be known that Heng Xiulin is definitely proud, and compared with some people, he is stronger. Although Heng Xiulin seems to be quite peaceful on weekdays, there is nothing superior posture.

But it is like this, the more it can explain, that pride is deeply hidden by Heng Xiulin, once it is touched, it will be irreparable at that time, Hong Ningmeng, who wants to be like this, is naturally grateful to his mother Again and again.

And Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter with some love. She had already met that Heng Xiulin once. Although she only met once, she knew a lot of people. She thought her eyesight would not be bad. .

In her opinion, Heng Xiulin is indeed a very good partner, so for the life-long happiness of her daughter, she naturally cannot tolerate it. Even if there is a slight chance of making mistakes, she cannot tolerate it .

I have already argued with my husband several times before, and this time, he should be able to understand something. When Heng Xiulin comes to the door, I think he will not encounter any difficulties or some mean people Words are.

However, to be on the safe side, she must be present when Heng Xiulin comes to visit.
