Dongfang Ying also clasped her fists and said with emotion:
"Thank you, General Liao, for trusting me. Don't worry, the governor will not miss a hair."
Liao Zhihui laughed and took a big step. Went out of the yard.
Governor Ma also stroked his beard and laughed and said:
"The Oriental heroine is so heroic and heroic, which makes people feel excited and open the sea and the sky.
"I have A merciless request, I wonder if the Oriental Heroine can grant my wish? "
Dongfang Ying smiled and said:
"Old seniors, let's talk about it. If the juniors are capable, it won't be a problem. "
Governor Ma immediately walked down the steps, looked at Dongfang Ying and said lovingly:
"I thought you looked like my little daughter before. It's not nonsense. If you don't believe it, , I will show you the photos of the little girl that I have kept close to my heart. "
He tremblingly took out a brocade pouch from his arms, took out a two-inch piece of cardboard, and carefully handed it to Dongfang Ying.
Dongfang Ying Ying became curious, so she let go of Nangong Huiyue and took the small piece of cardboard. She saw a black and white portrait on it, which showed a girl wearing a cross-collar floral dress.
She has clean and short hair, which is different from ordinary women's hairstyles. She has a smooth forehead and no hairpin jewelry. She is elegant, dignified and simple.
However, her face is handsome. With willow eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a beautiful nose and a tan mouth, she is absolutely charming and beautiful.
Dongfang Ying saw that the girl in this painting was so detailed and vivid that she had never seen anything like this in previous paintings. Real characters, I couldn’t help but sigh:
“Which artist painted this masterpiece? It's really lifelike, like a living person! "
Nangong Huiyue took a closer look and said with a smile:
"Silly sister, this was not painted by an artist. It was taken with a video camera from foreigners. It looks like a real person. Exactly the same.
"Don't tell me, the beauty in this photo is very similar to you."
Dongfang Ying was stunned for a moment and asked :
"Imaging machine? What is that thing? Have you ever taken a picture of the moon?"
Nangong Huiyue nodded and said:
"Of course I do Yes, I did. Four years ago, my father specially hired two photographers from the provincial capital to take photos of our whole family. I also took a set of photos."
Dongfang Ying. Secretly envious, Governor Ma smiled and said:
"Eastern Heroine, do you think the appearance of the girl in this photo is just like you poured out of the same mold?"
Dongfang Ying smiled sheepishly and said:
"The young lady who is the senior governor is very beautiful and charming, but the little girl has a rough appearance. How can we compare them."
Governor Ma shook his head.The head said:
"No, no, no, you are like a natural jade, orchid in the empty valley, and you have an awe-inspiring and refined temperament that no little girl can match.
"Plus your generosity The heroic personality and heroic spirit blow towards my face. It should be said that my little daughter is more like the sparrow under the eaves, while the heroine is like the roc rising into the sky! "
Dongfang Ying hurriedly thanked her and said:
"Senior, this is too much of a prize, and this little girl cannot deserve it. "
Nangong Huiyue said with a smile:
"You guys should stop being polite. Mr. Futai said before that he had an unkind invitation for my sister. I don't know what it is. What? Let me also serve as a reference for my sister. "
Governor Ma then chuckled, nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yes, I am really old and confused, and I forgot to talk about business.
"My little daughter is the apple of our Ma family's eye. Not to mention me as the father, her brothers and sisters also love her very much.
“It’s just that as an important minister of the imperial court, I have to make choices for my family and my country.
"Years ago, I was ordered to go to Lingnan to serve as governor. Because my daughter grew up in the north, I was afraid that she would not be accustomed to the soil and conditions of the south, so I did not dare to take her to the post.
"Now Half a year has passed, and the two places are thousands of miles apart. I miss my beloved daughter more and more day by day, but I feel that I am old and frail, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to see her again in this life.
"Every time I think about this, I burst into tears and feel deeply regretful."
When Governor Ma got emotional when he said this, he choked up and wiped away his tears with a handkerchief.
Nangong Huiyue vaguely guessed the old governor's thoughts, and couldn't help but feel compassion. She raised her phoenix eyes and looked at Dongfang Ying silently.
Dongfang Ying was also quite moved and comforted:
"Old man, don't be so sad. Although the mountains and rivers are far away, we will eventually arrive. Sooner or later, your father and daughter will always be able to get together. "
Governor Ma shook his head and sighed, and said sadly:
"I have only been in office for half a year, but the civil and military affairs in this province are extremely heavy. Lazy and give up halfway?
"But I know that I am in my dying years and there is not much time left. I may not be able to survive until my term expires. "
Dongfang Ying didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to ask:
"What do you want me to do, what does the old man mean? "
Governor Ma grabbed her arm tremblingly and said with tears in his old eyes:
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
" When I see you, it’s like seeing my precious daughter. Can you recognize me as your adoptive father and call me daddy?
"Just think of it as fulfilling the most sincere wish of a dying old man who misses his young girl... okay?"
Dongfang Ying said "ah" and was stunned for a moment. Don't know howanswer.
Seeing this, Nangong Huiyue thought to herself, what a good thing this is. As long as she becomes Governor Ma's goddaughter, who in the whole province would dare to cause trouble for her lover? This is much more useful than being a guerrilla general or chief instructor.
He quickly touched her arm and advised:
"Sister Ying'er, aren't you the most compassionate? Mr. Futai pledged his life to the country and gave up Family happiness, how touching;
"Besides, the old man is old. Even if he is your grandfather, it is more than enough. Just do it for the old man and call him daddy. It will be better." Doesn't it show your chivalrous character? "
Dongfang Ying thought about it and thought it was the same. The old governor could be his grandfather according to his age. Even calling him grandpa is not too much. What's wrong with calling him "daddy"?
< p> Immediately returned the photo in his hand to Governor Ma, knelt down and clasped his fists and said:"Thanks to the favor of the boss, Dongfang Ying is deeply honored.
"Daddy, please accept my daughter's bow!"
After speaking, he touched the ground with his hands and kowtowed.
Governor Ma was so excited that he trembled all over. He hurriedly put his daughter's photo and the tips bag into his arms, held Dongfang Ying's shoulders tightly, and shouted:
"Okay, okay... ...Great, good daughter... I am so happy..."
Dongfang Ying stood up, supported Governor Ma, and said with a smile:
"Dad , don’t be too happy too early. Although your daughter recognizes you as her adopted father, she has something to say first and she cannot fulfill her filial piety in front of you at this moment. There are still two things to do first. ”
Governor Ma said with a smile:
"Tell me, what two things? Daddy will send someone to do it for you."
Dongfang Ying shook her head and said:
"No, I must do these two things myself, and no one can replace me."
"The first thing is that I must obey the teacher's order and rush to Jinling to meet someone before the 30th of this month;
"The second thing is, after finishing the Jinling incident, I will fulfill my promise to General Liao and rush to Taiwan to stop the Japanese pirates.
"These two things are settled, I Only then can he return to Guangzhou and serve his adoptive father. "
Governor Ma pondered for a long time and sighed:
"It seems that I really have no destiny to reunite my father and daughter. My biological daughter cannot be seen in the far north, and my goddaughter is in a hurry, and I want to see her again. They all went their separate ways, alas! "
Dongfang Ying comforted:
"Dad, why should I be sad? Maybe I will be back in a month. Why is there no chance of father and daughter being reunited. "
Governor Ma suddenly understood and said with a smile:
"That's right. No matter what, tonight is a happy day for you and me as father and daughter to recognize each other. We should get together to celebrate.
"Come here, set up an incense table and offerings of pure wine in the back hall.I want to formally hold a marriage recognition ceremony and accept the Oriental girl as my adopted daughter. ”
Although Dongfang Ying felt that there was no need to be so solemn about the matter, she couldn’t bear to go against the old man’s wishes, so she had to smile and acquiesce. An old steward and the maidservants hurriedly accepted the order and went to take care of the matter. .
Nangong Huiyue also came forward to congratulate Governor Ma. Governor Ma heard that she was Dongfang Ying's good sister, and felt that she was dignified and lovely, with the demeanor of a well-known lady, and he liked her very much.
Then Xiaoyun Xiaoxia also came to congratulate her, but Gan Taoxian was still sulking. Seeing Dongfang Ying casually climb the high branch of the governor's tree, she felt sorry for herself.
She sat alone on a stone, using a bamboo pole to paddle the clear water in the small pool, making a splash.
No one paid attention to her. A maid held a lantern and illuminated it. Along the path, Governor Ma invited the girls to go to the main hall to perform the ceremony.
Seeing everyone leaving, Gan Taoxian was angry and sad, but she did not dare to stay alone in the martial arts arena, so she reluctantly did so. Followed everyone to the main hall.
When they arrived, they saw the red candles burning high and the palace lanterns shining brightly. Six maids and maids were busy in the hall, and six pacesetters stood at the entrance.
Not long after, Governor Ma's old lady also came out and sat on both sides of the table with Governor Ma. The old lady was half-convinced when she heard what Governor Ma said about Dongfang Ying's resemblance to her youngest daughter.
Seeing Dongfang Ying's face with her own eyes, she couldn't help but her eyes were red, and she kept saying, "It's so similar, so similar..."
Soon the incense table was set up, tea and wine offerings were complete, Governor Ma sprinkled wine and burned incense, and warned The ancestors of heaven and earth then sat with the old lady to accept tea from Dongfang Ying, and knelt down and kowtowed.
After the ceremony, Governor Ma solemnly gave Dongfang Ying a Dushan jade seal, engraved with a dragon and phoenix pattern. , the seal is "Jade Mountain Sole Bell", claiming that with this seal, everyone in the Ma clan of Henan will not dare to neglect him if they see him in person.
The old lady gave a high-ice jadeite as a gift. The bracelet was considered a gift for meeting each other.
Although Dongfang Ying didn't care about the jewelry and jade, she couldn't refuse it. Seeing the sincerity of the two elders, she had no father or mother since she was a child. Even if she had a great mentor, she could not resist the love of her parents. Love,
I felt my life experience and touched my family affection, so I had no choice but to accept it, wrap it in a silk handkerchief, and hide it in my arms.
Later, Governor Ma made another simple arrangement. The family banquet was held in honor of Dongfang Ying's daughters until the end of the day.
Governor Ma arranged the "Shuyi Garden" in the east courtyard of the back house for the daughters to rest and sleep. > Due to fatigue and drinking some fine wine during the banquet, the girls felt very sleepy. They each found a bedroom and slept together with their clothes on.
Nangong Huiyue naturally did not want to be separated from Dongfang Ying. , the two girls still slept in the same room, shared the same bed, and slept in each other's arms.
However, the two girls still remembered that they were living in distant places.The courtyard is not the unrestrained elegant cabin above the waves. How can you dare to act recklessly?
I didn’t dare to be naked and face each other like a few days ago, and I had to rub my legs together.
