Chapter 40

People explained their intention. Naturally, Yang Chendong would take Hu Changning to the sacrificial hall. There are temporary memorial tablets for fathers and mothers for outsiders.

He followed Yang Chendong to the sacrificial hall. Hu Changning took incense. Seeing that the cleaning here was extremely clean, and there was still fragrance in the house, and the incense ashes were piled up high in the incense stove, he knew that it must be caused by frequent incense. His favor for Yang Chendong increased a bit.

A filial person will never be a bad person in his bones. In addition, Yang Chendong is polite to guests and speaks steadily, which is far beyond the average young people of this age. This is the performance of composure.

He has already indicated his identity, but others do not have the slightest intention of flattery. It can be seen that this person still has backbone and pride. If you practice a little, maybe you can really become a pillar of the country in the future. If you can recruit such a son-in-law, it would be a good marriage.

Out of the sacrificial hall, according to Hu Changning's previous meaning, we should have a good chat with Yang Chendong, and then better observe and understand each other. It was just an embarrassing thing before. Although Yang Chendong asked him to stay here for dinner, he was rejected.

Instead of going through the back door, Hu Changning came out of the side door of the front door. As soon as they arrived on the street, the subordinate who was first knocked down behind them said, "how can there be such a master around the sixth young master? I think we should make a good investigation."

"Yes, such an expert also exists in royal guards and East Hall. If such a person doesn't find out, it's really disturbing." another subordinate said angrily. I don't blame him for being angry. He took the initiative to sneak attack others. On the contrary, he was knocked down on the ground with one move. It's really a little lost.

"OK." Hu Changning didn't tell his subordinates about his daughter's request to see Yang Chendong. Naturally, they didn't understand what they came for. Listen, they want to investigate their future son-in-law. It's strange that he's not angry.

"If you can't beat others, go back and practice hard. What's the use of complaining here? Also, today's business is too embarrassing. Don't tell. As for why there are such experts here, it's also because Yang Chendong is too ostentatious and afraid of being remembered." Hu Changning actively found excuses and reasons for young master six.

"Being missed? I don't think so." the two subordinates said somewhat indomitably. Where the royal guards went was not a matter for people to look up to. It's no wonder they have such ideas today.

"OK." Hu Changning said angrily. This may be his future son-in-law, but it is because the guards around him are more vigorous that they lead others to such suspicion, which is obviously what he doesn't like. "Remember, Yang Chendong is the son of old adult Yang. It is impossible and there will be no problem."

This is tantamount to closing the coffin. Hu Changning was angry. Although the two subordinates were still dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything. They had to bow their heads and admit defeat.

Hu Changning is gone!

According to the information of the Security Bureau, the 12 members of the party just stayed in an insignificant Inn in Jianning Prefecture for one night and left. During that time, they didn't see anyone, including the governor of Jianning, and didn't mean to embarrass the old house of the Yang family. Such a move made Yang Chendong a little confused.

"Is it true that Hu Zhen has a good personal relationship with my father, and people really come to worship?" he shook his head and arranged for the Security Bureau to check it. Yang Chendong had to put the matter aside.

In the capital, Hu Changning handed in the instructions for visiting the southern guard stations and returned to the mansion.

I just went to see my father Hu Zhen and told him about the process of doing the job. As soon as I returned to the yard, my daughter Hu Yan came to greet me.

To say who the last person I want to see now, I'm afraid it's the young girl I love most at ordinary times. He really doesn't know how to say it. Especially the things taught to his two subordinates make him feel ashamed.

But his daughter is not a subordinate. He came to find himself. He can't hide if he wants to.

In the study, Hu Changning is writing big characters (practicing brush writing), which is also a method of meditation. A fragrance came to her nose, and Hu Yan, who was like cardamom, came in with a happy face. "My daughter sends greetings to my father. My father has worked hard this trip."

"HMM." Hu Changning was a gedeng in his heart. Knowing that it was impossible to hide, he continued to hold his pen as if he didn't see his daughter's anxious face.

Just for a while, the word was so awkward that my heart couldn't calm down. Of course, I couldn't practice the word.

"Father, you... You can go..." seeing her father pretending to be confused, Hu Yan, who was not calm, asked softly.

"No." Hu Changning shook his head before his daughter finished. He didn't want to mention it, so he wanted to be fooled.

But the consequences of such an answer were obviously unexpected. "Ah! Father, why didn't you go? Didn't you promise your daughter? You don't care about your daughter at all." as she spoke, Hu Yan's tone already brought out a trace of crying.

The most unbearable thing is that his daughter cried in front of him. Hu Changning was a little upset and angry. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he knew that if he did so, he was afraid that his daughter would cry for half an hour in the study.

"Hey." Hu Changning, who finally hurt his daughter, sighed, "you don't have to cry. I'll see you."

Hu Yan, whose tears had been turning in her eyes, turned her face from cloudy to sunny. Her little hand stretched forward and held Hu Changning's arm. "Father, have you really gone?"

"Of course, how could I lie to you?" Hu Changning replied firmly.

"But you just told your daughter that you didn't go." who thought, followed Hu Yan to refute.

"Er..." Hu Changning's old face is red, but he still doesn't want to explain more. He still can't afford to lose the man. "That's the six young man who has teased you. My father has seen it. He also worshipped Yang Lao and his wife."

Speaking of the commemoration of Yang Rong, it would not be false. Hu Yan also knew that her father would never lie about such matters related to the elderly. At the same time, he asked tentatively with a cautious tone, "father, what does the sixth young master look like? What is his character? What was he doing when you went..."

"Well, well, it's just a look on the way." Hu Changning really didn't know how to answer. Can he say that his father was almost cleaned up because his subordinates were incompetent? He really didn't have the face to stay there, so he left without staying long?

"Well, because I was in a hurry to get back, I didn't stop much. After worshipping the old man, I left. As for the sixth young master you said? It looks ok." Hu Changning, who really didn't know what to say, told his daughter the result of the determination that he was OK.

"OK?" Hu Yan a head of fog. Obviously, there is some dissatisfaction with such an evaluation. OK is OK, no is no, how can it be called OK?

"The father suddenly remembered that he had business to do, so he left first." Hu Changning didn't know what his daughter would ask, and he didn't know how to answer. He simply found a reason and got away.

Hu Changning acted quickly. Before her daughter understood what was going on, she flashed out of the study and then out of the house. Even her wife and concubines didn't have time to take a look, leaving Hu Yan standing in the study alone.

"Miss, the adult is gone." the maid Xiaoqing doesn't know when she entered the study. Looking at Hu Yan who seems to be lost, she whispered.

"OK. Hum! OK is better than no?" Hu Yan suddenly figured it out. Although she didn't know why her father would answer herself like this, she felt that telling her would not be so simple. But even though my father gave a good evaluation, it was always better than bad and not good.

Hu Yan comforted herself and said that she really had a little spirit of modern ah Q. of course, it had a great relationship with her first favorable impression of Yang Chendong.

Anyway, Hu Yan hasn't mentioned it since it happened, and Hu Changning hasn't mentioned it either. But later, no one in Hu's house made arrangements for Hu Yan's marriage proposal. It is said that she will be 16 years old after the age of 18. The marriage should be arranged, but no one will do anything, let alone ask about it.

As a father, Hu Changning didn't know what he said to his wife and those concubines. In short, no one was talking about it.

People from the Security Bureau also came to the capital and carefully explored the relationship between Hu and Yang Rong, but they didn't have much clue. After all, they have no roots here, especially the investigation of important officials. The final result is that they have a good relationship, but when it comes to personal friendship, it doesn't seem to be good. As for Hu Yan's case, it was not in their investigation at all, so they naturally ignored the past.

The news came back to the Yang family's old house in Jianning after January.

Neither royal guards nor East Hall did anything special to the Yang family. There were no strangers in Jianning mansion. Even if it was safe and carefree, Yang Chendong naturally put down his things first. It looked like the new year was coming soon. He still had a lot to do.

......

The bell of 1448 sounded.

People say the new year is like a new year. But in terms of the situation of the Ming Dynasty, there was no big change. Eunuchs are still rampant and in power.
