Huo Xiao and Doudou rode their horses for two hours before turning back to the capital.
After lunch in the restaurant, the two went directly back to Huaishu Hutong.
Huaishu Hutong has long since regained its tranquility, the liveliness of the general's presence and the sadness of the general's parting seem to be like a dream, leaving no traces.
The two dismounted at the side door, did not take the soft sedan chair, and walked back to the inner courtyard.
About forty or fifty feet away from the Eternal Life Garden, the two of them heard a woman's crying.
Doudou Liu's eyebrows frowned slightly, although she didn't use any thunderous means, but everyone in the Immortal Garden was very obedient, no one dared at all, and no one would deliberately make trouble.
In the past few months since she married into the Dingbei Palace, no matter how dissatisfied the people in the other houses in the mansion were, no one dared to cause trouble near the Eternal Life Garden.
How did the general just leave on the front foot, and there were people on the back foot who were restless, when she and Huo Xiao were ornaments, they dared to go wild on their territory after eating the bear-hearted leopard Huo Xiao's ear power is better than Doudou's, and he is more familiar with the voices of the people in the house, and his face has already become very unsightly.
What a white aunt Could it be that she was begging herself for her pig-like son again Or can she force herself when she sees the third old man leaving Don't be funny, how can he, Huo Xiao, be persecuted by these unpopular women He felt that Doudou's footsteps were a little stagnant, and took her hand and said, "Let's go and see what she wants to do." ” Doudou only saw Aunt Bai on Chinese New Year's Eve, and he didn't even say a word, and they were not familiar with each other, and they didn't understand who "she" Huo Xiao was referring to for a while.
Before she could ask, a scene at the gate of the Eternal Life Garden had already appeared in front of her.
A woman in a dark green skirt knelt at the gate of the Eternal Life Garden, unwilling to leave no matter how much Cai Qing persuaded her.
Doudou paused and said, "This is Aunt Bai" She has always looked down on this kind of woman who is willing to commit herself to being a concubine for the sake of the so-called "childhood sweetheart", not to mention this woman who ruined the happiness of Princess Yongfu and Huo Xiao, she is even less likely to have a good impression.
It's just that this one is not too much From Princess Yongfu to Huo Xiao, and even herself, even if she didn't look down on her anymore, she didn't show her half of her face, let alone oppressed her with power.
Even Master Huo's husband and father were all given to her and Huo Qi, she was still not satisfied, and she wanted to make trouble Could it be that she thought that a fight in the Garden of Eternal Life would ruin their reputation?
It's just whimsical Huo Xiao tightened the little hand in his palm, and snorted coldly: "Who else can there be besides her?"
Aunt Bai over there had very sharp ears, and when she heard their voices, she immediately began to cry, and sat crookedly on the ground, as if she had been bullied.
"Little Prince, Little Princess" Cai Qing and Cai Sang bypassed Aunt Bai and stepped forward, with a look of indignation.
Huo Xiao said coldly: "How many of you eat rice, you let the idle people wait at the gate of the Eternal Life Garden to mess around, and you won't let the guards drive people away."
Cai Qing Cai Sang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the little prince, Aunt Bai came not long after lunch, and insisted on seeing you and the little princess, the slaves and maids said that you went out of the city, she didn't believe it, and said that the general had been away for several hours, and you must have come back early."
Doudou said: "Next time you let people mess around at the door of your house, you two will be big girls and go down to receive the punishment by yourself." ” Cai Qing Cai Sang hurriedly said: "Yes, little princess." ” Aunt Bai saw that Huo Xiao and Doudou not only ignored her, but also punished the big girl in front of her, so angry that she couldn't even cry.
However, thinking about the purpose of today's trip, she forcibly endured the unwilling resentment in her heart, and crawled in front of the two.
She whimpered and said: "Little prince, little princess, you have to persuade the eldest master, no matter how you say that he is also your father, the flesh and blood relationship is constantly cut."
Huo Xiao and Doudou looked at each other, both of them thought that Aunt Bai was for Huo Qi, but they didn't expect that she actually came to make trouble for Master Huo.
It's just that this white aunt is too disgusting and too good at buttoning people's hats Although they didn't like to deal with Master Huo very much, they never thought of not recognizing him as their father.
And when have they ever cut the so-called "flesh and blood", they still can't cut it Aunt Bai saw that the two of them were still silent, and she reached out to hug Doudou's leg.
Huo Xiao was disgusted, and said sharply: "If you have something to say, if you don't have anything to say, get out of here, don't do anything here."
Other aristocratic sons may have a lot of scruples and have to compromise in front of their father's concubines, but Huo Xiao never thought about fulfilling anyone.
People who even dare to sit on the dragon chair will grieve themselves for a woman who is nothing, don't joke Aunt Bai choked and quickly retracted her hand.
Doudou said: "Auntie, please stand up and say something, so that others can see it and think that we have bullied you." ” Aunt Bai pursed her lips and stood up with a pestle.
"Let's go."
Huo Xiao didn't bother to look at Aunt Bai anymore, and walked in with Doudou.
Aunt Bai had no choice but to drag her limping legs to follow.
The three of them walked into the side hall, Huo Xiao still didn't look very good, and sat on the chair without saying a word.
Doudou had no choice but to say to Aunt Bai: "If you have something to say, sit down and say." ” Aunt Bai raised her eyes and looked at Huo Xiao and sat down on the chair carefully.
Huo Xiao really couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "Aunt Bai has always been bold, why do you want to make such an appearance in front of this little prince" Doudou raised his eyebrows, it seems that Aunt Bai really did something great in the past, which made Huo Xiao remember it to this day.
Aunt Bai finally stopped pretending, and said with an angry look: "Little prince, I don't know what kind of wind I smoked today, and suddenly said that I want to resign, what should I do about this?"
Master Huo was about to resign, and Huo Xiao and Doudou looked at each other again.
No wonder Aunt Bai is so out of shape, Huo Qi's future and marriage have not yet been settled, if Master Huo doesn't even do this unpopular petty official now, what hope can she have But Master Huo's grade has been like that all these years, and he has even been sent to Hejian Mansion, and he has never heard of any dissatisfaction with him.
A few days ago, the Yamen opened the seal, didn't he also go to the order on time to deal with official business as before When he said goodbye to General Huo early this morning, his mood was also very stable, and he didn't see any attitude of disgust with officialdom and life.
Why suddenly I don't want to be an official Doudou said: "My aunt heard my father say that he was going to resign."
Aunt Bai wiped away a handful of tears and said, "If I hadn't let people stop him, he would have gone to the yamen of the Ministry of War." ” Doudou was even more curious: "Did the father see something, or did he suddenly hear something?"
Huo Xiao sneered lightly: "Sesame mung bean big official, there is no more than him, no less, if you like to do it or not, what is there to worry about" Aunt Bai didn't care about his ridicule, and after thinking for a while, she said: "It seems that after sending the general away, the lord received a report from the palace, saying that he was the king of Tatar and then he was wrong, so he said that he was going to resign." ” t1706231537:
