Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 690
Xue Hong hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully: "The junior pays respects to the old general, how is the old general's health recently?"

In terms of age, Feng Tang is close to 50 years old, and he is considered to be alive at this time.The reason why there is a big age gap between him and Feng Ziying is that Feng Ziying is actually his fifth son. The four elder brothers before Ziying all died for the country. Feng Ziying was left as a single seedling.

Seeing that Xue Hong was still so graceful and courteous, Feng Tang was very satisfied, but today he turned his body slightly and only received half of the courtesy, then sighed: "Hong'er, don't be like this, come and sit beside me—hey , you know, when I received a report from the mansion that Ziying was seriously injured on the front line, the old man, I was about to die of heartache.

My Feng family has been loyal and good for generations, the old man and I have nine brothers in my generation. After fighting on the battlefield, I and my seventh brother survived.

Back then, there was only one title of General Shenwu, but the incense of the Feng family was about to die.Seventh brother and I draw lots, whoever catches the title will be the prince, the son of the family will continue to serve the country on the battlefield, and the other will give birth to a son at home, the son is not allowed to practice martial arts, and we must do everything possible to make the incense of the Feng family flourish .

Later... as you want to know, it was my old man who caught the lottery to inherit the title, and history repeated itself, my sons... hey... let's not mention it.Today, if it weren't for my old man's legs and feet, I should kowtow to you.

It was Hong'er who saved Ziying's leg and the glory of the Feng family.Otherwise, although Ziying's injury is not fatal, it is no different from killing him.If he had an accident at a young age, and the children and grandchildren of the younger generation have not yet grown up, then the sacrifices of the previous generations of the Feng family would have been wasted.It was Honger, you saved Ziying and the entire Feng family, how should the old man thank you..."

Xue Hong hurriedly waved her hands when she heard the words: "The old general is serious. Don't say that I, Xue Hong, and Ziying grew up together. Since childhood, Ziying, as an elder brother, has not only helped me a little or two? Even if it is only In terms of fellowship, Ziying was so seriously injured at the time, how could I not save him? In fact, in the final analysis, I was just doing my best. I can't bear to see the descendants of Feng's family encounter great disasters, which made Ziying turn danger into good luck. Don't be like this, old general, how can Xue Hong bear your "thank you"?"

After all, Old General Feng Tang was an elderly man, his eye sockets were very shallow, when he was talking to Xue Hong just now, he was so emotional that he was about to shed tears, but now hearing Xue Hong's words, he was moved again: "Okay, Well, Hong'er is a person who values ​​friendship, it is their blessing that Ziying and my virtuous son-in-law, Shaoyou, can serve as officials in the same dynasty as you, so I can rest assured that I am so old."

After Xue Hong and Feng Ziying comforted him for a while, Feng Tang's mood finally stabilized.Xue Hong said: "Old general, have you ever thought about whether Ziying's son Mingyao and his generation will continue to practice martial arts and serve in the army? The younger generation dares to say that since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, we have It has been a long period of war, but judging from the current situation, the current emperor is spreading benevolent government, and the world is at peace. In the future, there will only be a slight turmoil in the northwest area. In another ten or twenty years, the world will be more peaceful In the future, sooner or later, there will be a situation where the horse is released to Nanshan. The status of military officers is not as good as that of civilian officials. At that time, military generals will not be as easy to mess with as they are now. If it is in my humble opinion, it is just a matter of fame and career, and it does not necessarily have to be for children and grandchildren. The future generations will bury their bones in the battlefield to show their loyalty, what do you say, old general?"

Feng Tang took it for granted, nodded and said: "These words are very serious. Compared with when we joined the army, there are already many fewer battles to fight. Tsarist Russia is over, and Taiwan is also recovered. It's just that Zhungeer is still a bit uneasy, and there will be fewer and fewer battles in the future. However, my Feng family is a martial artist, and even Ziying has struggled in the Wenju exam before switching to the martial arts exam. This... can be successful something?"

Xue Hong laughed when she heard this: "Old General, you don't only have one grandson, Ziying will have many sons in the future, and among so many descendants, as long as one of them wins fame, isn't it all right? Let's talk about it." It's just an official, and not only those who have been admitted to the Jinshi can become officials. The way of officialdom is profound. As long as you know how to gain a job, you don't necessarily have to be admitted to the Jinshi. There are too many people. The reverse is also the same. It is not necessarily true that people who do not have the rank of Jinshi cannot be an official. These are unknown numbers. The junior dared to mention it today, but I just wanted to remind you. No matter what, The Feng family has fought bloody battles for the court for so many years, it's time to recuperate, isn't it?"

Feng Tang nodded again, and murmured: "Extremely true, extremely true... If the old man has sons, he will have many grandchildren. Haha, yes. But when it comes to grandsons, I suddenly met my grandson again. My little grandson, Sun Minghui. Hong'er just came back from the expedition. I think she hasn't met Ziying's second son, Minghui, right? That kid looks very clever. In my opinion, he is more intelligent than his brother. He should be a plastic man. Talent, maybe what you said can be applied to this kid, what kind of champion can he really give us in the Feng family exam!"

Feng Ziying listened to it and said with a smile: "Father's words are wrong. When Ming Yao was born, you said he was a star descending from the sky, and now you say the same thing when Ming Hui is here. You are not afraid of your eldest grandson." Mingyao is jealous when he hears it? At that time, he should say again, we people only know that we like mother's own younger brother, and we don't like him anymore."

Feng Tang said: "So what if I'm a rambunctious little one? I can tell you, you kid, you have to remember to give me a few grandchildren, and Mingyao will get used to his grandfather and me being so 'eccentric'." , I don’t think so anymore. Speaking of this, I am angry. I know that you and your grandma Yan’er are deeply in love with each other, but why did our family marry so many concubines for you? Isn’t it to let You are spreading branches and leaves! You are good, you only know how to run to the concubine's room every day, and the concubine's room seems to be a decoration! It's not that my father doesn't want you to respect my wife, but Yan'er alone, you can Aren’t you afraid that she will be under too much pressure?”

Feng Ziying had no choice but to surrender and said: "Father, please forgive me. Is it okay if the child is wrong? Aren't you going to see Minghui? It happens that Hong'er hasn't seen her yet, so let's go together now?"
