spring cloud warm

Chapter 500
In recent years, the weather has become colder and colder.

In the afternoon of this day, the clouds were set early, and it was snowing again.

There are not many pedestrians on the street. In this weather, everyone tries not to go out if they can.

A thin and small figure walked in front of Dingbei Duke's Mansion, wearing a big and old cloak, and the whole person was covered in it.

With a bundle in his hand, the man walked to the door and pushed up the hood on his head, exposing most of his face.

This is a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, her face is pale with cold, and frost has formed on her eyebrows and eyelashes.

She cupped her frozen hands to her mouth, took a breath of hot air, and mustered up the courage to step up the steps.

He stood in front of the corner door and knocked, but no one came out, and knocked harder again after a while.

The guard at the gate was warming up around the stove in the gatehouse, when he heard someone knock on the door, he put on his clothes and came out.

Glancing through the crack of the door, he backed away again.

After a while, he brought out a freshly baked sweet potato, opened the door and handed it to the woman.

"Take it, let's go! You are not allowed to stand here for a long time." It was too cold outside, and the wind was blown through as soon as I came out.

The servant hurried back to warm up the fire, and waved to the woman, telling her to take the sweet potatoes and leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, the woman handed the sweet potatoes back and said, "Brother, I am not begging for food."

"No food, what are you doing here?" Jia Ding looked at her and asked.

"I...I'm looking for someone." The woman's lips trembled from the cold.

Seeing how pitiful she was, the janitor handed her the sweet potato again: "Take it, and warm your hands! I guess some relative of yours works in this house? But you can't come to the front door to look for it. You have to go around to the back door. There are people going in and out there, stop one and ask."

"Brother, I'm here to find Lord Huo." The woman held the sweet potato, and the warmth in her hand made her feel better.

"You? Who are you? Why are you looking for our father-in-law?" The doorman immediately became vigilant.

"I'm the old man of my father-in-law, my hometown is Dengzhou, and I came to the capital..." The woman seemed to be too anxious, but couldn't speak clearly for a while.

But the gatekeeper interrupted her impatiently: "How can you be a liar at such a young age? I think you are a liar!"

"Brother, I'm not a liar, I really came to join Mr. Huo." The woman was anxious and was about to cry.

"Tell you, we've seen a lot of people who come here to recognize relatives indiscriminately." The doorman's face became more and more ugly, "It's really a big tree, apart from the few relatives we know, how can our father-in-law have any relatives?
Even if there are a few old friends, it shouldn't be your age!I look at you, no matter what, you are not 20 years old, right?
Do you know that our father-in-law lived in Mobei since he was a child, and he didn't come back until he was in his twenties.How could he recognize you? "

"No, brother, listen to me." The woman argued eagerly, "I have never met Mr. Huo, but my grandfather knows him."

"Your grandpa? Then let your grandpa recognize it!" The gatekeeper confirmed that she was a fake.

"I haven't seen my grandfather since I was born. His name is Chen Fu..." the woman said.

"You haven't even met your grandfather, let alone our father-in-law. You have made a big detour!" The gatekeeper was impatient and didn't want to talk to her anymore. If I don’t hit you, stay away from here as soon as possible! Go away! If you don’t go away, you will be impolite!”

He pushed her out and slammed the door shut.

"This year, there are everyone." The doorman tightened his coat, and walked back, talking to himself, "Since our father-in-law came back, how many people have come to bluff and cheat. They are all shameless s things!"

Huo Tian is an orphan, and the Huo family is sparsely populated.

Unlike ordinary people's seven aunts and eight aunts, there are a lot of them.

But even this can't stop some greedy people from rushing to the door to take risks.

Who would have thought that although this woman was robbed, she still refused to leave.

It's just that she didn't dare to stand at the door, so she walked a little farther, found a corner sheltered from the wind, and crouched there huddled.

The sweet potato in her hand was no longer very hot, she turned her back and started to eat it hungrily.

She couldn't remember how long she hadn't had enough to eat. In this freezing weather, a baked sweet potato was already a rare delicacy for her.

At this time, the snow was drifting bigger and bigger, and in a short while there was snow as thick as two fingers on the ground.

The woman's legs became numb from squatting, and she was afraid that she would freeze after a long time, so she got up and stomped her feet after a while.

It was getting darker and darker, and the lanterns in front of the palace were lit up.

The gatekeeper began to clear the snow, because the father-in-law would be back in a while.

He glanced at the woman standing in the corner not far away, and shouted at her: "Tell you, don't be ignorant! Hurry up and stay away, if you offend the father-in-law, you will be sent to the government, so you can't eat it." Go around!"

After hearing this, the woman staggered away as expected.

Huo Tian went out of the city to the camp to inspect, so he came back very late today.

But even so, he still didn't forget to take a detour to buy Jiang Nuan's favorite Caolu cake, and bought a small drum for Brother Zao.

Turning the corner of the street and looking at the lantern in front of his house, Huo Tian felt warm in his heart.

"Mr. Huo! Mr. Huo!" Suddenly a person rushed out from the alley next to him.

The people around Huo Tian immediately became alert, stood in front of him, and asked, "Who is it?! Still not retreating!"

"Grandpa Huo, I am Chen Fu's granddaughter!" the woman shouted desperately, "My grandfather is Chen Fu!"

Those guards wanted to drag the woman away, but Huo Tian stopped him: "Wait a minute, let her finish her sentence."

Several guards released the woman, but still surrounded her, not letting her get too close to Huo Tian.

"Grandpa Huo, I'm not pretending, I'm speaking the truth." The woman eagerly explained, "Our hometown was originally in Dengzhou, but we moved to Yihe when we joined our uncle's house.

My father's name is Chen Dazhong, the only son of my grandfather.My grandfather went out with my grandfather when he was young, and since my father was ten years old, he hasn't returned home. "

"You said that you are Uncle Fu's granddaughter. I can't believe it just based on what you said. Do you have any other evidence?" At this time Huo Tian had already dismounted.

The Chen Fu that this woman is talking about is Fu Bo who accompanied Huo Tian through life and death, and saved his life several times.

In Huo Tian's mind, Uncle Fu is not a servant, not a follower, but his elder, his benefactor.

"I have evidence!" The woman said excitedly, and took out something from her bosom.

It was half a jade pendant, the quality of the jade was mixed, it was not a beautiful jade, but Huo Tian was very moved.

He took out the half piece of jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a moment.

Then he said: "The half jade pendant on Uncle Fu's body is in my room, come in now!"
