Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 86 Su Ji Satin
What Sulu said again, Huo Mingzhu didn't hear, only heard her ask like this, which happened to express Huo Mingzhu's heart.

"Let's wash and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. It's so late, it's inconvenient to do anything, and if people see it, it's even more difficult to explain."

"Oh fine."

Even if she agreed with Su Hui's words, Huo Mingzhu didn't say anything good, she just let Su Hui go to bed early, after all, based on her understanding of Su Hui, once something happened to this girl, she would be excited all night long.

Early the next morning, Huo Mingzhu went to "Xiao Ci Xuan" to greet Mrs. Huo as usual, and visited Yu Tong who was lying in bed. When she asked if she was feeling better, Yu Tong smiled and said, "It's much better. After drinking the medicine, the wind and cold infection will be much better. In fact, I am not so delicate and weak, but Mingzhu and you bother me, and my aunt is also worried..."

Speaking of this, Yu Tong paused for a moment, her expression changed a little, Huo Mingzhu was very observant, she noticed it, and didn't ask, but finally Yu Tong couldn't help it, and took the initiative to say: "Also, my cousin also takes great care of me. , Said that I have ordered the kitchen to cook tonic for me, but I always feel embarrassed."

She had expected that Lin Ruyi wanted to be a good person early on, so Huo Mingzhu only raised her eyebrows slightly, but her complexion didn't change much, but her smile became more and more natural. She held Yu Tong's hand and said, "Cousin It's a bit of a stretch to say that, mother probably feels guilty, she caused my cousin to suffer an injustice yesterday, but it's just some supplements, so don't take it to heart."

Even if Yu Tong had forgotten the cynical words that Lin Ruyi put down when she left yesterday, Huo Mingzhu still remembered them clearly.

Lin Ruyi, even though the man who robbed her sister was extremely despicable, but she was born as a young lady of the Hou Mansion, and there was always an indelible arrogance in her bones.No matter in front of Yu Tong or in front of the old lady, this kind of arrogance can't be wiped out.

Therefore, if Lin Ruyi, after sneering at Yu Tong, actually came to the door and said that she had boiled a tonic for her, so that Yu Tong must drink it, Huo Mingzhu would have to be surprised.

However, there is no definite evidence to prove that Lin Ruyi wants to do something wrong, and it is difficult for Huo Mingzhu to point it out.If Lin Ruyi really broke out of kindness and wanted to nourish Yu Tong, then she, Huo Mingzhu, would be a villain.

So Huo Mingzhu remained calm, and left after visiting Yu Tong, saying that she was going to visit her grandmother in Pingyang Hou Mansion, Yu Tong nodded with a smile on her face, and even asked her to convey her respect to Pingyang Hou Mansion and greet her grandmother , uncles, aunts, etc.

Huo Mingzhu didn't know if it was the name Pingyang Houfu, which reminded Yu Tong that Lin Ruyi's background was exactly the same as Huo Mingzhu's, so he consciously took a little precaution against Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu didn't care about it, she left "Xiaocixuan" and went to "Caiyixuan".According to the girl, Huo Zhengde was busy with military affairs last night and did not return. Lin Ruyi stayed at "Caiyixuan" with Huo Huaiyu last night.

"Eldest Miss, Second Miss and Madam are still resting at the moment, they were frightened yesterday, Madam is not well, can you come back later to say hello?" Eldest girl Cailian explained with a smile.

Huo Mingzhu felt a little strange, but her expression didn't change, she smiled and said: "If that's the case, it's fine. When my mother gets up, tell me that I went to Pingyanghou's mansion to visit my grandmother, and I should be back in the evening. "

"Yes, miss." Cailian nodded in response.

Huo Mingzhu immediately turned around with a smile on her face, saw Su Yu rolling her eyes and muttering something, Huo Mingzhu couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "You girl, what the hell are you doing?"

Already leaving "Caiyixuan", Su Ling looked around again to make sure that no one was around, and then dared to speak: "Madam and Second Miss are not taking Miss seriously anymore, Miss has just started When I first came back to Beijing, Madam cried to tears at the gate of the General’s Mansion, I still remember it, but now even the young lady refuses to see her when she goes to pay her respects! This has changed a bit too!”

Sulu's angry appearance seemed as if Lin Ruyi had stabbed her in the heart with a knife.

Huo Mingzhu was so calm and composed, upon seeing this, she smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry about it, didn't I tell you last night? In the future, you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the mansion, and you must not show your temper on your face. Let other people see it and think that someone has offended you, so they will inevitably gossip again."

Su Hui really doesn't understand why her young lady is so indifferent. When she first returned to Beijing, she was not like this. For no reason, she felt that the young lady at that time was a bit hostile and disliked everyone.

There was no way to argue, and no way to argue with Lin Ruyi, so Su Yu had no choice but to accept Huo Mingzhu's words, she was dumbfounded, and said, "Oh, I see, miss."

Huo Mingzhu was still smiling, and after getting into the carriage, not long after that, Su Hui couldn't stay idle, looked outside, suddenly let out a soft snort, stretched out her hand to pull Huo Mingzhu's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Miss... ...do you see who that is?"

Through the gap in the curtain, Huo Mingzhu looked in the direction of Su Hui's finger, and saw that it was a girl, but she didn't quite know who Su Hui was pointing at.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Su Hui became anxious and explained: "Miss, that girl is Qing'er in front of Madam! Didn't we talk about that last night? I didn't expect to meet her here!"

Only then did Huo Mingzhu focus on the girl in ordinary attire. She was not tall and looked very honest, but her eyes were rolling around, as if she was looking around cautiously, not knowing what she was going to do. .

"Miss, do you want to follow and have a look?" Su Yu asked tentatively.

Huo Mingzhu had this intention, but it was inconvenient in the downtown area at the moment, so Huo Mingzhu asked the coachman to park the carriage in front of a silk and satin shop, she went into the shop to choose the silk and satin, and went to find out.

"Don't be recognized by others, just find out what she is going to do, you know?" Huo Mingzhu urged.

"Understood, miss, I'm not a fool!" Su Yu snorted angrily, she and Huo Mingzhu have been together since childhood, there has never been any distinction between superiority and inferiority, and they have always spoken casually.

Seeing that she agreed, Huo Mingzhu walked into this shop named "Suji Silk and Satin Village".

The shop owner behind the counter saw that she was dressed with the same good looks, and thought she was a distinguished guest, so he hurriedly came out from behind the counter and greeted her earnestly: "Miss, what material do you want? What color? These few pieces of brocade from the south of the Yangtze River The colors are novel and suitable for making new clothes.”

As he spoke, he led Huo Mingzhu to look at the silks and satins on the shelf, and introduced them one by one.

Huo Mingzhu's hand caressed the smooth satin, neither saying it was good nor bad, and asked casually: "Boss, I heard that your business in Suji Silk and Satin Shop is very good, and the people who come and go are all dignitaries?"

"Miss, you are welcome. My surname is Su. This silk and satin shop has been in operation for some years. It has been in operation since the time of Emperor Gaozu, and it is considered a little famous now." Opened a gap, and continued: "Thanks to the care of the distinguished guests in Shangjing, the shop is indeed a noble person like Miss, what a blessing!"

"Boss is really good at talking." Huo Mingzhu smiled, caressed a piece of brocade material, and said unambiguously, "This one is the same as this one, I want it."

The brocade is exquisite in workmanship and extremely precious. Ordinary people would never afford to use it, but Huo Mingzhu bought two at once. It can be seen that she is indeed not a young lady from a small family, and she talks and behaves very casually, so she obviously doesn't care. silver.

When meeting a noble person, the boss will naturally become more courteous: "Okay! Wait a minute, miss!"

After speaking, he asked the buddy to come out and wrap the cloth for Huo Mingzhu.

When they were busy, Huo Mingzhu asked casually: "Boss, this brocade, I plan to make new clothes for my grandmother. Her birthday is coming soon. But I always feel that making new clothes is not enough." , I must get some jewelry to match, boss, you are well-informed, do you know where to get some rare treasures? I can also buy them to make the elderly happy."

Now that the boss has started Huo Mingzhu's business, everything is easy to talk about. He pondered for a while and said: "Miss, if you want to find a rare treasure... I have a good place to introduce you to the lady. It's just that the lady needs to know that there are some things The more precious it is, the less innocent it is..."
