Hai Hongzhu walked into the room and sat down on a sandalwood chair in front of Hua Bu Shi's bed. She was wearing a moon-white dress, with a little powder on her cheeks, but she couldn't hide the tears in the corners of her eyes, making her look pitiful.
"Ling'er, help me sit up quickly." Hua Bushi ordered.
With Bai Yiling's support, Hua Bushi slowly sat up from the bed, only to find that Hai Hongzhu had been staring at him, with an extremely sad look from those beautiful eyes.
She just looked at Hua Bushi without saying a word for half a stick of incense.
Although Hua Bushi's face was much thicker than ordinary people's, he felt a little frightened by Hai Hongzhu's stare. He coughed lightly and asked:
"How are you doing these days, Miss Hai?"
Hai Hongzhu still said nothing, only looking at Hua Bushi.
Hua Bushi said again: "I have heard about the death of old man Hai, and I would like to ask Miss Hai to express my condolences. I have asked my disciples to organize your father's funeral. However, the internal affairs in the family are urgent these days, so I am afraid that it will not be possible."
It's a bit crude, but Miss Wanghai can tolerate it."
Hai Hongzhu still didn't say a word.
Hua Bushi added: "Now that Uncle Hai has unfortunately passed away, there is no need to mention our previous agreement. Tomorrow I will go and tell dad to terminate the engagement between you and me. I will compensate some silver taels to Miss Hai and your brother.
, if the girl has any other requirements, you can ask Xiao Ke, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy it."
Hai Hongzhu's face turned red and she said, "Why do you want to break off the engagement? Don't you like me?"
She had always been very unfaithful towards Hua Bushi, had no good impressions, and even seemed quite disgusted. Now she suddenly said such words, which was beyond Hua Bushi's expectation. He was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to do.
response.
Hai Hongzhu said again: "Dad has betrothed me to the young master, and Hongzhu must marry the young master. If Mr. Hua dislikes Hai Hongzhu and insists on breaking off the engagement, Hai Hongzhu will crash and die in front of you right now."
!”
She bit her lip tightly and turned her face to look for the sharp corner of the bed, as if she was really going to bump into it!
Hua Bushi was shocked, and regardless of the pain in his chest, he hurriedly reached out and took Hai Hongzhu's hand, saying: "Miss Hai, please don't be impulsive, everything can be discussed!"
Hai Hongzhu did not dodge, and allowed Hua Bushi to hold his hand. His face turned crimson and he lowered his head and said, "There is nothing to discuss. If you don't want to marry me, Hai Hongzhu will die."
Hua Bushi held Hai Hongzhu's arm with both hands and felt a little at ease when he saw that she didn't struggle. After a while, he said: "Xiao Ke and the girl have only known each other for a few days, and they have only met each other a few times. Before, the girl had no feelings for Hua
Bu Shi doesn't seem to have any intention, but why he insists on marrying me today makes Xiao Ke puzzled."
Hai Hongzhu still lowered his head and said softly: "I really didn't like you before. I thought you were a cowardly and bullying evil young man. But the night before, in order to save Hongzhu, the young master took the risk and walked out of the dark room. I
I just kind of like you."
Hua Bushi said: "That's just a small thing. Miss Rihai fell into the hands of a strong man because of Xiao Ke. It's also right for me to go out to rescue you."
Hai Hongzhu said: "My father was killed by an evil person. It was the young master's disciples who worked together to kill the evil person, the second son of the Chi family. They avenged my father's murder and saved the lives of my brothers and sisters. In order to repay the young master, Hai
Isn’t it right for Hongzhu to pledge his body to her?”
A girl's mind is fickle, which always leaves men guessing. He doesn't know why she hates someone, nor why she loves someone inexplicably.
Hai Hongzhu stared at Hua Bushi's face and said: "Now that my father is no longer alive, the Hai Hongzhu brothers and sisters are lonely and helpless in Wuyang City. They only hope to be sheltered by Mr. Hua's side.
If I don’t want to take Hong Zhu in, I really don’t know where else I can go!”
Hua Bushi was silent for a long time, then sighed softly and said: "Since Miss Hai said so, Xiao Ke has no choice but to agree to your marriage, but I feel a little wronged."
Hai Hongzhu looked happy and said, "Young Master really agreed?"
Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke naturally agrees."
Hai Hongzhu was so happy that she immediately stood up from the chair, walked to the bedside and sat side by side with Hua Bushi. She held Hua Bushi's arm and put her cheek on his shoulder. It turned out to be a picture of a little bird leaning on someone.
demeanor.
Hua Bushi was speechless, and his hands and feet were at a loss. He really couldn't believe that the ferocious heroine who used the "Haijia muscle-breaking hand" to press him to the ground as soon as they met the day before was actually with him.
The gentle and lovely lady in front of me is the same person.
Although Hua Bushi is extremely intelligent and versatile in dealing with people, he does not have much experience in the affairs between men and women.
Hai Hongzhu took the half bowl of white porridge from Bai Yiling's hand, and fed it to Hua Bushi one by one, whispering softly in his ear, and looking at him with affectionate eyes from time to time, which made Hua Bushi
Bu Shi was in a state of confusion, his face was red, his ears were red, and he was acting ugly. He almost fell from the head of the bed to the floor.
After staying in Hua Bushi's room for a full hour, Hai Hongzhu got up and left. Before leaving, she gently warned the young master Hua to take good care of his injuries and take good care of his body.
When I stay with you again, I can't describe how kind and considerate I am.
After Hai Hongzhu left, Hua Bushi was dumbfounded, sitting beside the bed in trance.
It was almost the second watch, the sky had already turned completely dark, and red candles were lit in the house. However, another shout was heard from the guard outside the door, and someone came to visit Hua Bushi.
This time it was Shen Yinger who came.
She was still wearing a long snow-white dress that reached the floor, and the dancing candlelight on the table shone on that peerless face that was as beautiful as a fairy, which actually gave people a strange feeling that was both illusory and real.
Shen Ying'er walked slowly to the bed, sat down on the sandalwood chair, and stared at Hua Bushi's face longingly without saying a word.
Being stared at by a beauty again, Hua Bushi's heart began to fray again, and he hurriedly asked:
"Miss Shen came here late at night, but she didn't know what she wanted from Hua Bushi?"
However, Shen Ying'er blinked her eyes and said, "My little sister is here tonight. She has made a special trip to accomplice Brother Hua."
"Accomplice?" Hua Bushi was surprised and said, "But I don't know how to say this?"
Shen Ying'er said: "Brother Hua was stabbed in the chest and seriously injured. It's all my fault."
Hua Bushi was even more surprised and asked, "Could it be that the assassin in the Hua family mansion the day before yesterday was actually sent by Miss Shen?"
"Of course the assassin was not sent by me," Shen Ying'er raised her lips and showed an elf-like smile, saying: "The day before yesterday, my little sister learned that Brother Hua was going to be engaged to someone else, and she felt quite uncomfortable, so she prayed to Empress Guanyin.
I beg you to punish the person who betrayed your heart. It is best to let him take a sword to relieve the hatred in my heart. But I didn’t expect that the Bodhisattva Empress was so effective. Within a day, Brother Hua was injured by the sword. Isn’t he the younger sister?
’s fault?”
Only then did Hua Bushi realize that Shen Ying'er was joking on him, and couldn't help but smile.
The "Monkey Shen Family" and the "Evil Dog Family" are both aristocratic gangs in Wuyang City. They are well-matched and have some interactions with each other on weekdays. Hua Bushi often played with the third lady of the Shen family when he was young, and they can be called childhood sweethearts. However, after Shen Ying'er went to Emei to study art, the two never met again. It was not until Miss Shen's return a year ago that she became the person in charge of the outer hall of the "Monkey Shen Family". Hua Bu Shi Cai met her again at the "Four Little Meetings".
Hua Bushi knew very well about Shen Ying'er's personality. The third lady of the Shen family was thoughtful and eccentric as well as Hua Bushi. Even though she always liked to act aloof on the surface, she didn't She looks like a fairy who eats the fireworks of the world, but in fact, to people she knows well, she is very well-behaved and lively, making people feel like a spring breeze, without any restraint.
In this regard, Hua Bushi looks like a dandy young master, but is actually a deep and wise personality.
At this time, Hua Bushi's face darkened and he said seriously: "I see, why was I stabbed that day for no reason? It turns out that it was Miss Shen who was behind it, but I don't know how you are going to compensate me. I? "
Shen Ying'er also had a serious look on her face, stood up, walked to Hua Bushi, raised her head and said: "Little sister, I wanted to pay some silver to Brother Hua, but when I came here today, I saw that you were so seriously injured. I don't want to deal with the silver." I’m sure you won’t be satisfied, so why don’t you let me promise to marry Brother Hua?”
Overnight, two beauties actually said they wanted to marry Hua Bushi, and I don’t know what kind of luck he had!
Hua Bushi's mind went blank and he was dumbfounded. He stared at Shen Yinger blankly and didn't know what to say.
But Shen Ying'er finally couldn't help it, she burst out laughing and said: "I thought that if a man heard that a woman was willing to marry him, he would be very happy, so I wanted to make Brother Hua happy too. But I didn't expect you to have such an expression."
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly and said: "Little sister Shen, you don't know, I have been frightened once just now, you'd better not frighten me again."
Shen Ying'er smiled and said: "Since I can't make Brother Hua happy, I naturally changed my mind and won't marry you anymore."
Hua Bushi suddenly calmed down and said hurriedly: "That's very good, so don't marry me."
But Shen Ying'er smiled, turned around, walked back to the sandalwood chair, and sat down again. In a moment, she changed from a naughty girl back to a dignified young lady from a wealthy family.
She paused for a moment and then said, "I wonder if Brother Hua has heard about what was discussed at the 'Three Elders' Meeting' today?"
Hua Bushi was very scheming, and of course he knew that Shen Ying'er came to him late at night, definitely not to talk about marriage, but because of the current battle between the "three evils" and the underworld, so he said: "I will spend the entire day today. I haven't left this room yet, so I don't know what the 'Three Elders' Association' discussed, so I would like to ask Shen Xianmei to tell me the details."
Shen Ying'er sighed and said: "It is indeed difficult to decide this matter. Taoist priest Gongyang, Uncle Hua and my grandfather failed to come up with a countermeasure in the end, so I told Brother Hua to just listen!"
She immediately told the story of how the three masters of the "Leng Yue Pavilion" received Zhu Zhenyan's invitation during the day, and how the three of them had their own opinions and argued endlessly afterwards.
