King Fu was pinched comfortably by Huo Xiao, stretched out his finger and pointed to the teapot on the table and said, "You can also rest for a while, pour me a glass of water to drink." ” Huo Xiao stood up, poured a glass of water and handed it to King Fu: "Second old man, I plan to leave Liaodong with Xiao Lentil when she returns to Shandong, and I can give her a ride by the way." ” King Fu took a sip of water, but his face wrinkled, and he stuffed the cup into Huo Xiao's hand and said, "The little girl calculates me again, this water is simply more bitter than Coptis chinensis." ” Huo Xiao said: "Don't let down the kindness of the little lentil, this is the lotus heart that she found only when she asked Shumo to go to the town market dozens of miles away, and specially made tea for you to drink to make your heart fire." ” King Fu covered his cheeks and snorted: "Protect it if it's nothing, and the stinky boy will definitely be weak in the future." ” The sick second old man was really hypocritical, Huo Xiao stuffed the cup back into his hand and said with a smile: "You haven't said anything yet." ” King Fu reluctantly drank a cup of lotus heart tea, smacked his lips and said, "You want to go back to the capital to pave the way for the little girl."
Huo Xiao nodded and said: "I still feel a little uneasy when I think about it, the capital is not as good as other places, although the little lentil has also studied the rules seriously for a few years, but with her temper, it is inevitable to offend people, I want to send someone to secretly arrange it in the Jingnan Hou Mansion, and when she returns to the capital, she can live better in the Hou Mansion." ” King Fu joked: "In front of Lao Tzu, you still refuse to tell the truth, obviously you just want to find someone to help you keep an eye on the little girl, and cause damage when someone takes a fancy to her, but she still says it so beautifully." ” Huo Xiao's face was a little unbearable, and he said angrily: "That's what I mean, anyway, I can't let her be bullied or remembered, everything will be talked about when I return to Beijing." ” King Fu stroked his forehead and sighed: "You are just asking for hardship, it is better to explain everything clearly to the little girl, even if Lao Tzu wipes his face and personally goes to Shandong to propose marriage for you, it is better than now." ” Huo Xiao said: "Second old man, I must first solve Pei Jinxin's matter before revealing my identity to lentils."
You know better than I do how hard this is, and I don't want her to think I'm playing tricks on her, and I don't want to get her involved.
The Huo family, the Pei family, and even the Gu family attach great importance to this so-called marriage contract, and their methods are not something that lentils can afford. ” King Fu was silent for a moment, stroked his long beard and said, "Don't think so much, go to Old Man Huo to learn skills, I will plan the affairs of the little girl for you." ” Huo Xiao was shocked by King Fu's words: "You have planned it for me" "Do you think that your little prince Huo is powerful and capable, and you are far worse than Lao Tzu" King Fu glared at Huo Xiao and continued: "The little girl's father, Yuan Zongzhi, will speak for the term, and when their family returns to the capital, I will immediately hand the excerpt to His Majesty, saying that I have been in poor health recently and want to return to Beijing to recuperate for a while, and it is good that I will do my filial piety in front of your great-grandmother." ” Huo Xiao's eyes lit up and said: "Your Majesty will definitely be able to approve your excerpt immediately, anyway, Liaodong is very peaceful now, and my mother is in charge, you can live in Beijing with peace of mind for a year or two, and I should come back then." ” King Fu smiled angrily: "Look at your little monkey in a hurry, I can try my best to help you secretly protect the little girl."
But you don't have to think too beautifully, after all, your grandmother went too early, and we don't even have a hostess in the house, so it's inconvenient for me to intervene in the affairs of the inner house. ” Huo Xiao was very moved and said, "Second old man, you are so good to me. ” King Fu bent his finger and knocked Huo Xiao's head, "Silly boy, Lao Tzu is just your grandson, so I can't be close to you for everything." ” Huo Xiao laughed twice: "Thank you, second old man, although your plan is the same as mine, it is convenient to take care of lentils, but I still have to go back to the capital, and some things have to be arranged, otherwise the daylilies will be cold when I come back in two or three years." ” King Fu pointed to Huo Xiao's arm in disgust: "You can see where this is wiped up, you have to be poor and particular about putting a horse, and the result is not dirty." ” Huo Xiao looked down and saw that he was wearing a silver-gray brocade robe today, with two grass-green marks on his right arm, which looked particularly eye-catching.
He immediately remembered the circle that Doudou had turned on his arm, the wild girl had done something bad and left traces, looking at these two fingerprints, he even felt that his arm hurt again.
King Fu looked at the discomfort on his face, and suddenly realized: "It turned out that he was twisted by his little daughter-in-law, boy, you have been planted on this lentil in your life." ” Huo Xiao was a little embarrassed and said: "You can see this at a glance, I must have been screwed by my grandmother back then, so I have so much experience." ” King Fu was very arrogant and said: "You think everyone is like you and have no interest, this king was very sought-after in the capital back then, and your grandmother finally chased this king to it, how can you be willing to use such a ruthless trick." ” Huo Xiaocai didn't believe it, he tucked the quilt for King Fu and said, "You are still lying down, and I will invite you when lunch is ready." ” "Tell a few girls, I'm going to eat something delicious for lunch today, and I've eaten enough green vegetables and tofu."
King Fu was not at ease and admonished.
Huo Xiao snorted, turned around and left King Fu's room.
Qingzhou Chengyuan Mansion.
The atmosphere in the old lady's courtyard was a little depressing, and Su Xin and a group of maids and ladies were all waiting under the porch, and no one dared to squeak.
In the inner room, the old lady lay on the bed and didn't say a word, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that she was not sick, but angry.
At this time, only the old lady's most trusted mother Wu dared to say a few words.
She sat on the edge of the bed and persuaded softly: "Old lady, even if you are angry with the second lady for the sake of the two young masters, she did not do it right, but she is too" "Aunt Cui, don't say good things for her, I only have one forbearance word in my life, I endured my husband when I was young, forbearance of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, a large family of Ninja Houfu, and continued to endure my daughter-in-law when I was old, and it was easy to look forward to my Xiang'er coming back, and the family would be reunited soon, but Gu Chao played such a hand for me.
Is there a woman in this world who does this, a daughter-in-law, she doesn't look down on me," the old lady said, choking up.
Mother Wu was silent, although she had served by the old lady's side for decades, and she was a face-saving housekeeper mother in the Yuan Mansion and even the Marquis Mansion in the capital, but after all, she was just a subordinate in terms of identity.
In the past few years, seeing that the relationship between the old lady and the second lady has improved, she is really happy for the masters from the bottom of her heart.
At this time, if she said a few good words for the second lady, it was inevitable that the old lady would be unhappy, and saying that the second lady was not good would add fuel to the fire, it was like provoking the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Although what the second lady did this time was a little unreasonable, it was also out of a motherly heart, and it was just for the eldest girl to have a good future.
But the old lady is not wrong, she has been separated from her granddaughter for so many years, but she has been inserted by the second lady and can't see each other, and it is difficult not to be angry.
Wu's mother was very embarrassed for a while, and carefully considered how to persuade her. t1706231537:
