☆, Beacon Fire and Smoke 1

It is late summer, the sound of cicadas is gradually becoming less and less, a few cold rains, and the mood of autumn is gradually rising. Yao Ji got off the rickshaw and saw that the hibiscus flowers picked out from the iron fence were in bloom. She walked towards the mansion from the newly watered road. The servant Huang Ma was packing the orchids behind the moon cave door. She saw her walking over and stood there. She got up and wiped her hands on her apron: "Why are you back now, Miss Second? Master sent Fugui to pick you up."

 Fugui is the driver of the Kong family. I heard that he drove to school, Yao Jiluo She frowned and said, "I have no classes in the afternoon, so I went shopping on the street with my classmates." She added, "Uncle Fu couldn't pick anyone up, so I thought I would go home." She walked together and asked Huang's mother, "Why did my father remember me?" Did you send Uncle Fu to school? It's not like this usually."

 After hearing this, Huang Ma's face suddenly burst into laughter: "We have a guest at home," Yao Ji couldn't help but pause in her steps. Hearing what she said, "It's Mr. Li."

 She was walking to the door when she saw the young man sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Wearing a long gown, he was full of heroic spirit. Compared with the appearance of the military uniform and boots in the day, he was two points less cold and more elegant. When he heard the sound, he raised his head, and saw that his eyebrows were bright, making him look like a handsome young man.

 Yao Ji knew that he was not easy to fool. Thinking of what happened during the day, her heart sank, but her face remained calm. She walked up to the man, her eyes were slightly lowered, and she said softly: " Brother-in-law."

 Li Zheng then put down the newspaper and nodded slightly: "Miss Kong."

 "Dongting, such a title is very popular," Mr. Kong came from the inner hall, and now his favorite eighth aunt is Niao Tingting followed him, Li Zheng stood up and was about to salute him, but he quickly stopped her, "Hey, you are in our house, you don't need to pay attention to these false etiquette." The

 eighth aunt covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled sweetly: "Master said What's strange is that the wedding of Young Master Li and our eldest lady will be in a few months. The second young lady calls Young Master Li brother-in-law. Why doesn't Young Master Li call her sister back?"

 This eighth aunt was born as an actress, and her voice was crisp when she spoke. There was another sound. Li Zheng frowned slightly when he heard it, but with a slight smile on his face. He calmly took out his arm held by Master Kong, dusted off his gown, and turned to look at Yao Ji: "In that case, then I Just shout...Yao Mei."

 Yao Ji stood aside, except for the first greeting to her father, she didn't say a word from beginning to end. At this time, Fang pursed her lips and smiled shyly.

 The eighth aunt smiled and said: "Our second young lady is good at everything, but she was taught to be too shy by the old man. Young Master Li will grow up soon, and has experienced wind and rain. Our second young lady will have to rely on her brother-in-law in the future." Protected."

 Yao Ji knew that she just wanted to curry favor with Li Zheng by saying this, and presumably her father meant it, so she ignored him and pretended to be more and more shy, pursing her lips and pretending to be invisible, looking out of the corner of her eyes. But he kept looking at Li Zheng. Seeing him dealing with Mr. Kong politely and showing no signs of complaining, I couldn't help but feel relieved.

 She knew that Li Zheng rarely visited the Kong family. Although the two families were now in-laws, Li Zheng was in charge of the Huai Army and had countless important military and political affairs to deal with every day. How could he have time to visit his fiancée's house? . Moreover, the marriage between the two families was obviously a result of the Kong family being superior to the Li family. If Mr. Kong hadn't saved the life of Li Zheng's father, Li Zuo, when he was still an official in the court, Marshal Li would not have done so in order to repay his kindness. The only son was assigned a young lady from his former dynastys hometown.

 The Kong family is an old-style family, and it was once famous in the previous dynasty, but times have changed, and it is no longer what it was in the past. Mr. Kong's reputation among officials is still high, but his only son Kong Xi is not up to par. He is neither a man nor a warrior, and his greatest potential is to raise his aunt. Although the son didn't say anything about his father's fault, he just looked at his father's behavior, which really taught Yao Ji that she couldn't love her again.

 On the contrary, Mr. Kong Kong Zhenyong, although he is old-fashioned, he also really loves Yao Ji. What Yao Ji was afraid of was that Li Zheng would tell the old man what happened today, which would make the old man angry and sad. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. If she had known that Li Zheng would take people there, she would have turned down the senior's invitation and not attended the lecture.

 She regretted it in her heart. Kong Xi had already finished greetings and invited Li Zheng to sit in the restaurant. Wu Ma helped the old man come downstairs. The old man still admired such an outstanding young man like Li Zheng. Although he was annoyed by his eldest granddaughter's disobedience, he valued his grandson-in-law quite a lot. Li Zheng talked for a long time, but Li Zheng was not impatient.

 Yao Ji sat opposite Li Zheng, looking at her nose and heart, looking like a lady. The old man smoothed his beard, stopped talking with satisfaction, and asked Yao Ji: "How are the homework in school?" Yao Ji stood up quickly, lowered her hands and looked

 solemn, and answered in a straight and clear way - an old-style family like theirs The rules are always strict. Yao Ji also lived in a wealthy family in ancient times, so she didn't feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, Li Zheng glanced at her, with a glimmer in his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

 As soon as the meal was over, because the Kong family was very particular about eating without speaking, after all the food was removed, Kong Zhenyong spoke: "I'm old and I feel weak, so I won't talk to you young people anymore. Dongting, you can do whatever you want. Zhu." Jun, entertain Dong Ting well for me."

 Naturally, Kong Xi didn't get what he asked for. When Yao Ji saw this, she excused herself to go back to the room to warm up the book and also left. She read two pages in the room, but her heart could not calm down. It was already dark, and the summer wind brought the fragrance of crabapple flowers. There was a beautiful moon in the sky, and the splashes of silver moonlight made the road surface as bright as water and mirror. She simply went downstairs, wanting to pick a couple of flowers from the garden, turning around the clusters of luxuriant branches and leaves, but she didn't want to bump into someone.

 The man turned his head, and the bright and extinguishing fireworks between his fingers showed his extremely handsome face with clear outlines. The tobacco smell was very light, with a hint of mint. Yao Ji couldn't help but frown. Before she could speak, Li Zheng put out the cigarette butt: "Miss Kong." Isn't she

 Yao Mei? He didn't call him that, so Yao Ji was happy to go with the flow and lowered her head: "Hello, brother-in-law, I'll pick two flowers." "

 Begonia?" Li Zheng stretched out his hand. He was tall and slender, and Yao Ji had to stand on tiptoes to reach it. He gently and deftly broke off two branches. The crabapples on the branches were blooming thickly and enthusiastically. When he handed it to Yao Ji's hand, there was an intoxicating fragrance in her nose.

 Yao Ji hurriedly took it and said goodbye in a soft voice. For some reason, she was always a little wary of this brother-in-law. When Li Zheng saw what happened during the day, she even wanted to stay away from him. Strike up a conversation.

 Unexpectedly, she turned around and was about to leave, but she heard Li Zheng say quietly from behind: "You must have many classmates in Nanyuan Club." Yao Ji

 froze, her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she pretended not to hear clearly. He looked like: "What?"

 Li Zheng stopped talking and strode past Yao Ji. His gown was slightly blown by the airflow. Yao Ji only heard a whisper floating in the air: "City Hall The student movement must be severely curbed, and you have to do it yourself."
