Yuan Hui escaped from marriage and left the Jingnan Hou Mansion back then, although she secretly swore in her heart that she would never want to go back to that place again for the rest of her life, but after all, she is a human being, not a god, and after a long time, she will occasionally miss those girlish times in the past.
In the northwest for more than ten years, in addition to coracting with the old lady of Yuan Zheng, she completely cut off contact with those people in the Yuan family in the capital.
She is just a small second-room maid, and escaping from marriage is not a matter of making the Hou Mansion face up, probably those people would have died outside as her Sanfang's fourth cousin, Yuan Zhi, was one of the people she had almost forgotten, but that didn't stop her from feeling kind to this handsome and polite nephew.
Yuan Hui helped Huo Xiao up with her own hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao, come into the house, my aunt has prepared a hot mutton pot today, and I will warm up my body after eating."
After that, he walked into the warm pavilion affectionately, but left the male owner Dou Dayong aside.
Fortunately, Dou Dayong was never hypocritical, but arranged for Huo Xiao to have dinner with the Dou family's subordinates.
The Dou family is not a big family, and Dou Dayong and his wife are never used to having to be served by others.
The same is true for eating mutton pots today, the masters are placed on the kang in the warm pavilion, and the people have gathered two tables on the side of the south room.
Huo Xiao is a very adaptable person, when he lived in the emperor's bedroom with Emperor Xuande, he could enjoy the treatment of the emperor very calmly and without stage fright; Today, he and Yuan Hui's family sat on the kang and ate the pot affectionately, and he could also skillfully eat happily by himself, without a sense of disobedience.
Dou Dayong's two sons, eight-year-old Dou Huasheng and four-year-old Dou Huaxiao, followed their father's temperament, and when they saw that their mother was not jealous of this cousin who had never seen her before, they ate happily on the side.
The young masters of the noble family in the capital are very clear about what Yuan Hui looks like, although they can't be said to be gentle, but all of them are pampered by brocade clothes and jade food, even if it is her most respected second cousin Yuan Zheng, she is also extremely picky in food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The boy in front of him, although he is dressed relatively plainly today, can still see the background of the family at a glance in his gestures.
The most rare thing is that he does not have the slightest dislike in the face of such simple food, and his phoenix eyes are extremely clear, revealing all the pleasure from the heart.
To say that he doesn't need to pretend at all, the Dou family is simply an ordinary family with no foundation, and what is there to be worthy of people wronging themselves to please their husband and wife.
Thinking about it this way, Brother Xiao is even more likable.
After eating, Yuan Hui asked people to clean up the pots and dishes, turned her head and saw that her husband and two sons were all virtuous, all crooked on the kang and didn't want to move, and quietly glared at Dou Dayong and said: "I'm not afraid of people's jokes, hurry up and take your sons to do what, let our aunts and nephews talk for a while." ” Dou Dayong moved to the side, and said, "I won't hinder you if I'm lying on the side, let me listen to it and have fun." ” The little brothers of the Dou family also squeezed to their father's side and said, "It doesn't hinder you if we lie on the side, we also have to be happy." ” Yuan Hui couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to apologize to Huo Xiao: "Brother Xiao, we are used to wandering around in the northwest, but it makes you laugh." ” How could Huo Xiao care about this, but he also moved into the kang, scooped Dou Huaxiao into his arms and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't be too polite, I never pay attention to that." ” If Shumo and Shuyan are here, it is estimated that the jaw will be shocked, when did the master become so easy-going, it was used to being domineering since he was a child, when he was in the palace, he started a fire and even dared to give face to the old man uh Emperor Xian, and the first emperor of the people was still spoiled and coaxed.
The second old man and the third old man are powerful enough, and the young master will not dump them when he is unhappy.
Yuan Hui saw that he didn't care, but deliberately said to his eldest son with a tiger face: "Brother Sheng, don't go and pour tea for your cousin, the lazy child will have no future interest."
Dou Huasheng obediently got off the kang, but scratched his little head again and said: "Mother, do you use those tea leaves sent by Sister Doudou" In fact, he is still young, and he doesn't know what good tea is not tea, but when he saw that his father was particularly rare on weekdays, he felt that since his cousin was a distinguished guest, he must use rare things to entertain.
Dou Dayong, who has always been generous and refreshing, was unhappy when he heard this, the tea sent by Doudou was only two catties, that was the little girl who was dedicated to him, and he was not willing to drink it a few times, although this stinky boy was also temperamental today, but it was not How could Yuan Hui not see what Dou Dayong was thinking, she glanced at him and smiled: "Brother Sheng, just use that, it was picked and fried by your sister herself, and let your cousin taste it." ” "Oh."
Dou Huasheng trotted out of the warm pavilion.
No one in the family of four noticed that as soon as they mentioned Doudou here, a glimmer of light flashed in Huo Xiao's phoenix eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled.
I haven't seen it for a few years, but the lentils are getting more and more breathing, and I swore that I would make dried apricots, but now I am even more amazing, and I can actually make tea He asked softly knowingly: "Aunt Hui, you are talking about Sister Doudou" Yuan Hui was simply surprised, sat down next to Huo Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, you have actually seen my Doudou" Dou Dayong also sat up from the kang and looked straight at him with a pair of eyes.
Only Dou Huaxiao, who was sitting in Huo Xiao's arms, was not so excited, he was born after Doudou left, although he was not unfamiliar with this sister's name, after all, he did not have such deep feelings.
Huo Xiao smiled: "Five years ago, I happened to visit my grandmother, and I met Sister Doudou who had just arrived in Hangzhou Mansion there. ” Five years ago, wasn't that the time when he sent Doudou to Hangzhou, Brother Xiao knew that Doudou was not a child of the Yuan family, he was the young master of the Hou Mansion, and he knew that it was equivalent to the people of the Hou Mansion in Jingnan who knew that Yuan Hui couldn't laugh.
Huo Xiao is a person who is extremely good at observing words and feelings, how can he not see the reason for the sudden change in Yuan Hui's face, he said softly: "Aunt Hui, don't worry, I have never mentioned the matter of Sister Doudou to anyone, and I will never talk nonsense in the future." ” Although it was only a half-grown teenager's promise, Yuan Hui was like taking a reassuring pill, she pulled Huo Xiao and said: "Brother Xiao, aunt wants to thank you, I'm just afraid that Doudou will be said to be a wild child without a father and mother, and I'm afraid that she will be sad."
"The real reason Yuan Hui won't tell Huo Xiao about it, and such a reason is reasonable.
The corners of Huo Xiao's mouth twitched, that lentil was so wild, it was strange that she would be sad because people talked about a few words He said with a smile: "The second uncle has now served in Qingzhou Mansion in Shandong, and my uncle has been transferred to the Liaodong Capital Division this time, and it is only a dozen days away."
If my aunt misses Sister Doudou, she can always have someone take her to Liaodong to live with you for a while, and she will definitely be very happy. ” t1706231537:
