The reason why Hong Zhuguo was so humble and respectful to Hong Longtao's mother was because Jiang Longtao's mother had a very good relationship with the previous head of the Hong family, Hong Baoyu's grandfather.

However, later Jiang Longtao's mother married Jiang Longtao's father, who became the head of the Jiang family, and her contact with the Hong family was reduced.

"Baoyu, why don't you come and see the old lady quickly?" Hong Zhuguo nodded, and then immediately turned his head to look at Hong Baoyu.

Hong Baoyu nodded, and then immediately walked up to the old lady of the Jiang family and bowed respectfully.

"My junior Hong Baoyu, I have met the old lady!" Hong Baoyu grinned and said slowly.

The old lady looked Hong Baoyu up and down, then a smile appeared on her face. .??.

"Humble and polite, he is worthy of being the son of the Hong family. It seems that your eldest brother has trained him well." The old lady looked at Hong Zhuguo and said with a smile.

"Junior, thank the old lady for Baoyu." After saying this, Hong Zhuguo suddenly sighed.

"But it's a pity. If it hadn't been for that incident, Baoyu wouldn't be like this." As soon as he said this, Hong Zhuguo's face immediately showed a trace of guilt.

After hearing Hong Zhuguo's words, Jiang Longtao and others standing aside immediately showed a trace of regret on their faces.

"Okay, let the past go by and you don't have to blame yourself." The old lady of the Jiang family patted Hong Zhuguo's shoulder and said slowly, "If it weren't for you, Baoyu wouldn't have saved this life."

, even if his grandfather knew about it, he wouldn't blame you."

"Thank you for your understanding, senior." Hong Zhuguo nodded.

"By the way, I haven't heard much from the Hong family since your father passed away. How is your mother's health now?" The old lady looked at Hong Zhuguo and asked slowly.

After hearing what the old lady said, Hong Zhuguo quickly said, "My mother's health is not bad. She went into seclusion a year ago."

"Oh, your mother has been in seclusion for a year?" After hearing this, the old lady frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "As early as thirty years ago, your mother's strength was on par with your father's.

, it seems that after this retreat, your mother’s strength will increase greatly again?”

"What? Do you, the Hong family, still want to join the entire Chinese cultivation world?" The old lady looked at Hong Zhuguo and asked tentatively.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Hong Zhuguo who was standing in front of the old lady.

Hong Zhuguo immediately understood the implication of the old lady's words, and then quickly shook his head and said, "Old lady, you are joking. You have been friends with your father and mother for many years. You must know your mother very well. The reason why she practices in seclusion is simply because

There is nothing to do, and there is no desire to compete for fame or fortune."

"Since my father's accident, my mother has been staying at the Hong family and rarely goes out. This time she chose to practice in seclusion because she wanted to break through her bottleneck period."

After hearing Hong Zhuguo's explanation, the old lady smiled knowingly, nodded, and said nothing more.

"Okay, we are all on our own, let's sit down and chat." The old lady patted Hong Zhuguo on the shoulder, and then took the lead to sit down.

Watching his mother chatting animatedly with Hong Zhu Guo

, Jiang Longtao, who was sitting aside, did not interrupt, but just watched quietly.

After the old lady chatted with Hong Zhuguo for half an hour, the engagement between Jiang Yi and Hong Baoyu was not mentioned at all.

Today Hong Zhuguo personally brought Hong Baoyu to the Jiang family to propose marriage for Hong Baoyu.

Seeing that the old lady kept chatting with him and did not mention anything about the engagement, Hong Zhuguo couldn't help but start to feel a little restless.

At this time, Hong Baoyu, who was sitting aside, watched quietly as the old lady still had a very indifferent smile on her face, looking extremely humble and polite.

Seeing Hong Baoyu looking so neither arrogant nor impetuous, Jiang Longtao and others couldn't help but look at him.

Hong Baoyu's behavior in the Jiang family today undoubtedly shocked everyone in the Jiang family.

What surprised them was that the young master of the Hong family, who had never been very bright, actually acted in such a humble and polite manner today.

While the old lady was chatting with Hong Zhuguo, she would occasionally direct the question to Hong Baoyu who was standing aside.

What the old lady didn't expect was that when faced with her questions, Hong Baoyu, who was called a foolish young man, actually answered them perfectly.

And after seeing Hong Baoyu being so decent, the old lady couldn't help but wonder, was he pretending to be stupid before?

About half an hour passed like this. Seeing that the old lady still didn't mention the marriage proposal, Hong Baoyu's eyes moved slightly.

At this time, Hong Baoyu stood up from the chair, walked to the old lady, and then immediately smiled and said, "Old lady, today my uncle brought the junior to the Jiangjia Manor just to propose marriage to the eldest daughter of the Jiangjia."

, it has been a full hour now, and I haven’t seen Miss Jiang yet, do you think?"

After hearing Hong Baoyu's words, the old lady of the Jiang family was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Longtao who was sitting beside her.

After seeing his mother's eyes, Jiang Longtao stood up immediately, then looked at Hong Zhuguo who was sitting beside him, and slowly said, "Mr. Hong, what do you mean?"

After hearing Jiang Longtao's words, Hong Zhuguo turned his head and glanced at him, with an intriguing smile on his face.

Jiang Longtao immediately understood what Hong Zhuguo meant, then immediately turned his head and said slowly to a servant on the side, "Why are you still blocking here? Why don't you bring the lady here quickly!"

"Yes, Master." The servant nodded and immediately left the hall.

"Don't be stunned here, hurry up and check out the corresponding ceremony. Is there anything else you need to add?" Jiang Longtao turned his head, looked at Jiang Hai beside him, and said coldly.

"Yes, father." Jiang Hai nodded and retreated.

After the two left, Hong Baoyu turned his head and glanced at Hong Zhuguo who was sitting on the chair. Although there was no expression on his face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After seeing the hint of surprise in Hong Baoyu's eyes, the face of the old lady sitting on the chair changed slightly.

At this moment, she had even more doubts in her heart. Is this Hong Baoyu really a fool? Or is he pretending?
