After Fengfang left, the two people who were looking at each other just now accidentally lost their sight.
"Xu, Mr. Xu, please sit down!"
Feng Xiaozhu's voice made Xu He hear a hint of joy after a long separation, but more of it was the strangeness brought about by the landscape and time.
"Miss Feng, are you used to living in Beijing?" Xu He was simply out of words to talk to.
"Habit!"
Quiet……
The two of them stood and sat together, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
After a while, Xu He said: "Since you left, my mother has often said that there is no news about you coming to Beijing!"
Speaking of Mr. Xie, Feng Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly became vivid.
She thought of the small courtyard on Tokachi Street, the old vine at the entrance of the courtyard, and what Xie talked about Xu He's childhood when she and Xie shared a bed at night.
"Is the old man feeling well?"
Feng Xiaozhu took the initiative to ask a question for the first time, and Xu He felt in his heart that the barrier between the two was melting.
"It's pretty good. I still fast and recite Buddha's name every day, but I always don't want to move around!"
"Did the tabby cat named Xiao Hua in the back street give birth to a kitten?"
Xu He didn't know what kind of cat was named Xiaohua, but in order not to be disappointed, he smiled and said, "I gave birth to four!"
Sure enough, there was a bright light in the girl's eyes: "The Hou family's aunt also said that when Xiaohua has a kitten, she will give it to me!"
Seeing the expectant look in the girl's eyes, Xu He somehow managed to blurt out: "It's too far away. It's impossible to ask someone to bring it to you. If it doesn't last a few days, I'll go find one and give it to you!"
Hearing this, the girl looked up and looked at Xu He, a blush suddenly appeared on her face: "Okay, okay!"
"Haha!" At this moment, Fengfang's laughter came from outside the door.
Although he deliberately walked out, he could not leave his daughter in the main room with a strange man for too long.
So after going around in a circle, I turned back.
Feng Xiaozhu just felt like he was back to the happy time in Hailing. Who knew that his father would be back soon.
She glanced at Xu He and saw that he was also looking at her, so she bowed and said, "Father, brother Xu, I'm going back to the backyard first!"
"Okay, okay! You go and be a female celebrity! I'll talk to Liangsheng for a while!"
Xu He watched Feng Xiaozhu leave. When Fengfang saw this scene, he smiled slightly and said: "My dear nephew, my daughter has been educated and educated since she was a child. In her hometown of Yin County, how many people come to ask for marriage!"
Xu He heard this and asked, "Then why doesn't Uncle Feng arrange a marriage for his sister?"
"Haha!" Fengfang laughed awkwardly. What he just said was true, but how could he like people from a small place like Yin County?
I originally thought that I would abide by the engagement and get married to Xu He, the second-in-law of the Xu family, but who knew that the Xu family...
It was even more difficult when he arrived in Beijing. Because of his reputation, those young handsome men did not even consider marrying him.
Even if she was given to Qin Que as a concubine, she later died for some reason.
This incident made him worried, fearing that it would delay his daughter's golden years.
Unexpectedly, just last year, I suddenly heard from a friend that Xu He, a nephew from Xu Ge’s hometown, ranked first in the Nanzhili Township Examination of Xiao Sanyuan High School.
Xie Yuanlang?
Xu He?
Fengfang suddenly remembered the young man he met when passing by Hailing the year before last.
But that boy didn't even have a childish voice at that time, he was just a primary school boy who had just passed the county examination.
Could it be him?
Later, after many inquiries, he finally found out that this Xu He was really the one to whom he had given the book.
Thinking of this, he immediately started thinking, and even praised himself for having such an unexpected gain from his free move back then.
No, on the first day Xu He arrived, he quickly sent someone to invite him.
"My dear nephew! I'm afraid Mr. Ge is very busy every day, right?"
Xu He nodded and said: "I have a rest today, but my uncle still went to the palace to check the room. He said he has a lot of things to deal with!"
Fengfang nodded and said: "In this case, when you go back this time, help me ask when Mr. Ge will be home. I want to talk to him!"
"Yes, I'll ask someone clearly and tell my uncle!"
"Okay, okay!"
Xu He stood up with a smile and saluted: "Then I won't disturb my uncle anymore!"
Fengfang said in surprise: "You are leaving so soon?"
Xu He said with a smile: "I just arrived in Beijing and there are a lot of trivial things to do. I will come back to visit my uncle in a few days!"
Hearing this, Fengfang nodded repeatedly: "That's fine, that's fine!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly said: "Wait for me!"
After that, he hurried to the backyard.
After a while, he handed a book to Xu He and said: "I'll try it soon. Uncle, here is a book of [Miscellaneous Questions on the Five Classics] that I recorded myself. This book contains some of my understanding of the meaning of the classics. You can take it." Go back and study it carefully, maybe I can help you get on the list!"
Fengfang was born as a Jinshi, so his knowledge was naturally very good. It was said that he was knowledgeable in engineering and literature, and was especially good at calligraphy. Xu He quickly bowed and took it with both hands.
"This junior must read it carefully when he returns home. Thank you uncle for the gift of the book!"
Fengfang was very happy and looked at Xu He as if he was sizing up his son-in-law.
Xu He felt uncomfortable with his look, so he turned to Ding Ze and said, "In addition to the things on the gift list, isn't there more?"
Ding Ze was stunned when he heard this, thinking that's all, how could there be more?
But seeing Xu He look at his arms and wink, his mind suddenly changed.
"By the way, thank you sir for reminding me!"
After saying that, he took out a two hundred tael silver note from his arms and handed it to Xu He.
Xu He nodded vaguely again.
Ding Ze then reached out to his arms again...
This scene stunned Fengfang on the side.
If I read it correctly, it was two hundred taels, and... it was still two.
Xu He smiled and took the banknote and handed it to Fengfang and said: "Uncle, this is a little thought from this junior, I almost forgot about it."
Fengfang swallowed and refused with difficulty: "As an elder, how can I accept money from a junior like you? Take it back, take it back!"
Xu He said with a smile: "My uncle once said that the Xu family is what it is today because of the Feng family's gift of books. If the younger generation receives a favor again, please uncle Feng must accept it!"
"Hey...hey...okay, okay! You're too polite, don't bring anything else next time!" Fengfang said with a smile.
After Xu He and the others said goodbye and left, Fengfang looked at the banknotes in his hands and sighed: "This Xu He seems to be really promising. One purchase is four hundred taels, which is almost equal to my three years' salary!"
…
As soon as Xu He left Feng's house, he saw Xu Peng rushing over with a car, apparently coming to pick him up.
"Quick, get in the car, uncle asked me to take you back!"
"What is it specifically? Brother Peng, do you know?"
"I don't know, but he looks very anxious!"
Xu He said in surprise: "Is there anyone at home?"
Xu Peng nodded and said: "I don't know that person, but it seems that the uncle is very polite to that person. However, that person seems to have a strange voice, like... like someone from the palace..."
