Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 41 Into Your Eyes
Two days after the Jiji ceremony, the General's Mansion was busy sending away the relatives who came to watch the ceremony one by one, Mrs. Huo's Mrs. Yu was also busy talking with her two daughters, as for the relatives of Yu's family, they also had to accompany them.Yu Tong came with his father and mother, and listened carefully to what his aunt Yu said, but her mother Qian winked at her repeatedly.

"Lan'er, my mother is far away in Shangjing, far away from the south, this time we part, but I don't know when we will see each other..." Mrs. Huo held the hand of her eldest daughter, and she wiped her tears as she spoke.

The eldest daughter, Huo Xianglan, was a few years older than Huo Zhengde, and she was not young either. Seeing her mother was sad, she persuaded her: "Mother, when brother Sheng comes to Beijing for the exam next year, he must bother his brother's house. At that time, he can also talk to his grandmother." You see, I still count on my brother to help me..."

The flesh and blood are separated, and as time goes on, even the feelings fade away. The only thing he never forgets is to plan for his own children. This brother Sheng is Huo Xianglan's youngest son, and he has an uncle who is a general in the court. It is to be counted on.

The second daughter Huo Xiangzhi, not to be outdone, stepped forward and laughed, "Oh, look at what the eldest sister said, brother Sheng is going to take the imperial examination, if the second brother can manage it, how can he stand by and watch, there are only two nephews around, mother Do you think so? Speaking of which, Brother Qiong is not young anymore, and he is doing well in his studies. The teachers in the private school all say that he is promising. Say something nice and let the second brother not forget it!"

"Well..." Mrs. Huo nodded, and replied, "It's also right, but I'm old, I don't know how long I can live, and how long I can take care of." She sighed.

"Old lady, you are a bodhisattva with a heart, and you are destined to live a long life. How can you say these things are unlucky? How hard it is for the two aunts and uncles to hear!"

Even Huo Xianglan and Huo Xiangzhi didn't have time to speak, but a crisp female voice came in, and saw Huo Huaiyu lying in front of Mrs. Huo's lap, smiling very cutely.

The entire Xiaocixuan was full of people, except Huo Zhengde who was going to court and Lin Ruyi who was busy with the household chores, Huo Mingzhu and Huo Huaiyu were both accompanying them.

Huo Mingzhu didn't say a word, but just sat quietly. At this moment, Huo Huaiyu stepped forward and coaxed Mrs. Huo to be happy, with both hands Caressing Huo Huaiyu's head, said with a smile: "I, Yu'er, is still sensible and knows how to comfort my old man. Is it my own granddaughter..."

When she was speaking, she looked at Huo Mingzhu. Everyone present could see this seemingly indistinct aim, even Yu Tong couldn't help casting her gaze at Huo Mingzhu.

Although Huo Mingzhu had previously proposed to bring his eldest aunt and second aunt to Beijing to watch the ceremony and visit relatives, which won Mrs. Huo's heart, but once it was done, Mrs. Huo still thought that Huo Mingzhu was an ominous person. It hurts to see her.

"Mother, look at what you said, Miss Yu has a kind heart and a sweet mouth. Compared with Miss Yu, the other granddaughters and granddaughters all have clumsy mouths, but their hearts are the same. They all hope that you will be healthy." What!" Huo Xiangzhi laughed.

The first aunt and the second aunt are both from the Huo family. Since Huo Mingzhu was born, she knew that her horoscope was wrong, so she also knew the same as their mother, Mrs. Huo, and they would never put Huo Mingzhu in their eyes again. The blatant attack was due to the status of Huo Mingzhu's mother clan.

Huo Mingzhu knew it well, but pretended not to understand it, and echoed: "Second Aunt is absolutely right."

Huo Xiangzhi was still thinking about her son Qiong, and knowing that this big girl Huo Mingzhu was more favored by the Pingyang Houfu, she became extra courteous, stepped up, took Huo Mingzhu's hand lightly, and said: "Miss Mingzhu left It's so pitiful that I've been home for many years, the old lady should be in pain when I go home this time, her body is very thin..."

She patted the back of Huo Mingzhu's hand and spoke very sweetly.

No matter how much Mrs. Huo hated Huo Mingzhu, she would not turn against her in public, and her daughter said to speak for her, so she turned her eyes away, and just breathed out from her nostrils: "There are so many relatives here today, my old man I also want to say a few words, it’s not that my old man is partial, it’s just that I’ve been away for many years, my old man doesn’t understand this child’s thoughts, look at it...sitting there for a long time without saying a word, others thought it was my old man The wife has wronged her."

No one expected that Mrs. Huo would speak out blatantly, and aimed at Huo Mingzhu.

"Old lady, sister just came back, she..." Huo Huaiyu hurriedly explained for Huo Mingzhu.

"It's Mingzhu's fault for making the old lady worry." Huo Mingzhu stood up suddenly, interrupted Huo Huaiyu, smiled, and walked towards Mrs. Huo. Picturesque, Yingying smile is also dazzling, everyone quiet down to listen to her.

"To tell the truth from the old lady, these years in the border town, I was ill and not in good health. I inevitably felt desolate. I felt that the old lady, parents and mothers had forgotten Pearl. Although I wanted to get close to the old lady, I was afraid of the old lady. My wife doesn't like Mingzhu's boredom, so I'm really at a loss." Huo Mingzhu's eyes were gloomy, and she said something almost like complaining.

Since the old lady and aunt are so understanding, she fulfilled their sincerity, and she didn't mind letting them know her "heart".

After complaining, the topic changed, as if she didn't understand everyone's thoughts at all, she smiled frankly and said: "I heard the old lady and aunt care so much today, and Mingzhu finally untied her knot. From now on, Mingzhu will definitely I will be at your grandmother's knees and be filial to you like Huaiyu, please don't dislike me, old lady."

She lowered her posture, and Mrs. Huo couldn't find any mistakes or inappropriateness. She threw the rope herself, but was caught by Huo Mingzhu, and she had to be led away silently.

"As long as you are obedient, my old man will definitely treat you the same as Yu'er." Mrs. Huo said, but her eyes flicked past Huo Mingzhu, and her face was a little unnatural.

Huo Mingzhu completely ignored her face, and was blessed with a short and obedient figure, and said happily as if she had received a great favor: "Thank you, old lady, for your love!"

When the play of grandparents and grandchildren is over, Huo Mingzhu no longer treats anyone present as an outsider. She goes straight to Yu Tong, holds her hand, brings her to Mrs. Huo and says, "Old lady, you love us so much. Juniors are also a blessing to our juniors. It's a pity that the two aunts and uncles will leave tomorrow, and the huge general's mansion will inevitably be empty. It's better to let my cousin stay for a longer time. As your niece, she is worse than others Be considerate."

She spoke bluntly. Although Yu Tong was surprised, but at least she had previous experience, Yu Tong's mother, Qian Shi, was stunned.The family of Yu's family has been in decline, and Qian's family came to the General's Mansion in Beijing with her husband and daughters this time, and she did intend to cling to her, but because of Yu Tong's stubbornness, she was reluctant to speak up for a long time, and completely ignored her tricks. Wink, that's all.

Seeing that Miss Huo's family took the initiative to keep her daughter now, how could Qian not be surprised?
Mrs. Huo really felt that "Xiao Ci Xuan" was lonely, and it was more lively these days when relatives had more visits, but when this proposal came from Huo Mingzhu, Mrs. Huo felt that it was very unpleasant.If she agrees, she will feel uncomfortable. If she refuses, she promises to treat Huo Mingzhu equally, but she has to blame her again...

Mrs. Huo pondered for a while, glanced at Yu Tong, then turned to Qian Shi, and sighed: "Oh, Mingzhu, you child, you don't understand the heart of being a parent. Just this precious daughter, how can she stay in the General's Mansion to accompany me, an old man?"

Before the words fell, Qian did not wait for Huo Mingzhu to give any explanation, and took the lead in saying: "Old lady, look at what you said. Tong'er grew up in Qingcheng and stayed at Yu's house since he was born. I have never seen anything in the world, and her father and I can't help it. If she can be favored by the old lady and stay with the old lady for a few years, I'm afraid she can learn a lot. In the future, no matter if she gets married and has children, she will never There was a mistake. It depends on whether the old lady thinks the child is stupid and can't catch your eyes?"

It was originally a sister-in-law relationship, but due to the different family backgrounds, Mrs. Qian became very respectful, as if Mrs. Huo would not agree.
