Fight the Giants

  Chapter 614 Her heart

  Zhang Fu was a little restless in the Yamen today.

  The two children were summoned in the palace, and I don't know whether they behaved properly in the palace, whether they made mistakes, and what attitude the imperial concubine empress had towards the two children.

  Until I returned to the mansion, I heard that the imperial concubine liked the two children very much, and she rewarded them generously. Not only that, but seeing the emperor, the emperor also rewarded him a lot, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

   I breathed a sigh of relief.

  Just as he was about to visit the two children in Lanxiangyuan, Zhang Xie ran over and hugged Zhang Fu's waist.

   buried his head in his waist, and did not speak.

  Zhang Fu laughed, "How old are you, and you still look like a child."

   "How old is my son, and I'm not old enough to say goodbye." How big can it be.

  Zhang Fu laughed loudly, "Is this because you are thinking about the little lady? Why don't Weifu tell you earlier? Let Weifu think about it, which little lady in the capital is worthy of my son..."

   "Father!" Zhang Xie stomped dissatisfied.

  Seeing his son's shy face, Zhang Fu laughed a few more times, "Could it be that you were scolded by your husband and came to intercede with your father?"

"certainly not!"

  Squeaking for a long time but not saying why.

Zhang Fu comforted in a gentle voice: "If there is anything you don't understand about your studies, you can ask your fifth younger brother. Although he has only entered the Imperial College, he has been taught by a good teacher since he was a child. They all praised..."

   Just as he was talking, he saw his son staring at him with puffy eyes, "Father, do you have a new son, don't let him go!"

   After stamping his feet a few times, his eyes became foggy.

The complaint said: "You have a new son, let him go to the Imperial College, don't say, let him live next to your yard, but teach him martial arts! Don't say anything, give him Zhuangzi and money! Even Son, this elder brother, has no private property! But he does! Today, the aunt in the palace has rewarded him generously, even the emperor has rewarded him, but the son has nothing!"

  The more I talked, the more wronged I became, and I cried with a whoosh, and sat down on the ground, crying.

  Zhang Fu opened his mouth to explain, but he couldn't get in, so he stood aside and listened to him bluntly, and then saw him sitting on the ground with his buttocks crying so much that he couldn't bear it.

   squatted down and explained: "Your yard is the largest and the best in the mansion, why don't you change it with your fifth brother?"

"I do not want it!"

  His yard is the best on the East Road. When he moved to live in the front yard, his mother specially picked it for him. Although Huo Nian's yard is close to his father's, where is the view as good as his yard!

  He is not willing to change.

Zhang Fu also persuaded: "Your fifth younger brother gets up to practice before the rooster crows, and also practices at dusk until dark. I get up early to practice for my father every day, and I will be with him. But I have never seen you come to practice with me. Why don't we father and son tomorrow The three practice together?"

   Zhang Jie cried for a while, he didn't want to get up early, and he didn't want to practice. He is the legitimate son of the Duke's Mansion, the young master, so he doesn't want to go to the battlefield.

   Crying louder.

  Zhang Fu sighed, he didn't think it was so difficult to raise a child.

Trying to reason with him: "Your fifth younger brother has been outside since he was a child, and he went fishing with his adoptive father and mother, and sold fish together in the fish market street. Only when he got copper coins can he have money to eat. You have everything in the house. What else do you want?" private property?"

   "Then he has returned to the mansion now, is there any shortage of food and drink for him in the mansion? Then why does he want private property?"

   "Father compensated your elder sister and fifth younger brother. How about you also live on a fishing boat for a while, fishing and selling fish, and father will also set up a Zhuangzi for you?"

   Is it true that every child has a private property? Zhang Fucai didn't want to spoil him.

   "I don't want it, I don't want it!"

  He went fishing and sold fish, and his classmates at the Imperial College didn't know how to laugh at him!

   "You just don't love me anymore, and you won't love me anymore when you have a new son."

   "What nonsense, what new son and old son, that is your younger brother and eldest sister. Let me know your attitude again, and see how father will deal with you!"

  Zhang Fu's attitude became serious, which made Zhang Xie a little scared and forgot to cry.

  Looked at him blankly.

  Zhang Fu softened his heart for a moment, "Tomorrow you will have a rest, how about father taking you to ride horses outside Xiaowai? Your fifth younger brother is very good at riding now. Father will give you a horse and teach you how to ride horses too?"

   Zhang Xie heard that the newcomer would go too, and he responded loudly: "Then I will go too! Father also gave me a horse, which is better than his!"

Well…

  Nianer didn't send that horse as a gift.

   I don’t know where the boy surnamed Mu got a good horse, even he was jealous, so he gave it to Nian’er so lightly.

   Thinking of Mu Yan, he snorted secretly.

  He can't afford a horse for his son? What kindness is required of him! Very dissatisfied.

   "Okay, then father will choose a horse for you."

Although he couldn't get Zhuangzi, but he could get a horse, Zhang Xie didn't dare to make trouble anymore. After being coaxed by Zhang Fu a few words, he stopped crying and ran back to Wu's courtyard to share the good news with Wu. information.

  Wu was very dissatisfied with this result.

  She originally thought that if Xie'er went to cry in front of the Duke, the Duke's heart would soften and he would give Xie'er a Zhuangzi.

   At that time, she will hand over the management of the Zhuangzi to her natal family, and arrange the whole family of the Wu family to the Zhuangzi, so that she can be quiet, and Xie'er will also benefit.

  But the Duke of the country turned a blind eye to Xie'er who was crying sadly, and set a Zhuangzi for Xie'er without agreeing.

  Mr. Wu gritted her teeth in hatred.

  Grandpa Guo's heart is really wrong. Their mother and son are afraid that they will be abandoned.

   "Mother, without Zhuangzi, there would be no Zhuangzi, and I don't know how to take care of it. My father promised to give me a horse, and Zhang Mao didn't even have one. That Zhang Yuzhong, his horse was not given by my father."

  Zhang Jie doesn’t care much about Zhuangzi or Zhuangzi. He can’t see or touch it. It’s better for his father to give him a horse. Wouldn’t it be more affordable to see it in front of his eyes?

  And his father only sent him one. Zhang Jie looked smug.

Unexpectedly, she was reprimanded by Mrs. Wu, "Shut up. In the past, I told you to study hard and practice martial arts. You were either complaining of suffering or tiredness, but now you are being stepped on by a foreigner. You were born in this country's government. You grew up under your father's nose, but he was blind to see you, and a horse sent you away!"

  Wu felt that this son was raised stupidly. How can he compete with that evil species like this?

   Wu's heart is full of crises.

   Zhang Xie was scolded by his mother, but he didn't dare to reply, and stood aside with his head down. Wu asked him, and when he learned that they were going to ride horses tomorrow, he had an idea in his mind.

  Wu's side was dissatisfied, Huo Xi frowned when she heard the news.

  Although Nian'er is said to be crowned prince, it is not enough.

  Mrs. Wu is lucky to stay in her courtyard, and she is still aloof in front of her wife. And Mrs. Wang is also giving orders in front of her Mrs. Wang in the Duke's mansion.

  Because of her filial piety, she couldn't do anything to Mrs. Tai, and Wu Shi, she couldn't do it clearly. And secretly...

  Will she risk losing everything because of a Wu family?

   Both Mu Yan and Ma Momo asked her to wait for the opportunity to kill someone with a knife, but it was too slow. Murder must be paid with life, and Wu must apologise to her mother with death.

  But she can't touch any of these **** three cardinal principles and five constant principles.

   "Nurse, you said we lured Mrs. Wu outside and quietly..."

   "No." Mama Ma stopped her.

   "But seeing her jumping up and down, I can't help it."

  She wanted to erect a monument to her mother again with her thoughts in mind, to comfort her mother. But now she didn't do anything for her mother, and her enemy was still living wantonly.

   "Girl, as the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but the girl has been waiting for ten years, why bother to rush for this moment."

Seeing that Huo Xi listened to the persuasion, she continued to persuade: "Nowadays there are a lot of rumors outside. If something happens to the Wu family, everyone's eyes will be on the girl and the young master. When the time comes, Concubine Zhang will cry, and the crown prince will ask someone to investigate. , If there is nothing, say it is. It will definitely endanger the status of the young master."

"Not only can we not do it ourselves now, but we have to keep Mrs. Wu's peace in a short time. The young master has to be crowned heir, and if something happens to Wu, there will be a lot of verbal criticism and spitting. If the young master can't bear it at that time, I'm afraid it will be given to others. Made a wedding dress."

   "That's right, girl, let's listen to Mammy. Wu's own money, girl doesn't need to dirty her hands." Vanilla Xia He and others persuaded.

  Huo Xi gradually calmed down.

  Nurse Ma breathed a sigh of relief, "Girl, let's think about how vanilla Xia He and Shi Hua will get married in a few days, and how to arrange it. Where should they get married?"

  As soon as the two girls heard the words on their heads, they were so ashamed that they ran away, but they were caught by Hu Po and others.

   "Why are you ashamed, this is a major event in your life, don't worry about it yourself, leave it all to the girl? Aren't you afraid to tire the girl?"

  The two girls just waved their hands, how could they be willing to tire the girl.

   Called Shihua again to discuss together.

   Finally decided to let them go to Huo's house the day before the wedding, and get married from Huo's house.

  After getting married, she still served Huo Xi and Huo Nian, but no longer served her personally. The general affairs of the two yards will be handed over to them, and they will be asked to run in the backyard, front yard and outside.

"Let Qiushuang change Xia He's position, and then call Dong Xue, the daughter of Zhao Zhuangtou in the hot spring village, to serve her. The girl is enough to do her best. The young master is still in his courtyard, and there is a Liuli and There is no need to add more people to the first class of Ji Xiangchu."

   After Mama finished speaking, Huo Xi nodded, "Mama, let's make arrangements."

Glancing at Xiangcao and the others, she said to Mammy Ma: "After a while, Mammy will bring me my jewelry box and let the three of them choose a set of jewelry each, and then give each of them a hundred taels of silver to press the box as if I gave it to them. The dowry. You go to the shop to get the rest of the clothes and other things, and put them on my head."

   "Thank you, girl!" The three of them were not polite and agreed happily.

Shi Hua didn't expect that she took a fancy to Ta Xue and changed her master to serve her. She thought she was changing from an official's house to an ordinary folk's house, but she didn't expect to enter the first-class Duke's mansion all of a sudden, which scared her and the young lady. one jump.

  Where did you expect Miss Huo to have such an identity!

  The girl not only allowed her to marry Tayue, but also gave her such a generous dowry. In the future, she and Tayue will follow the girl and the young master well, and will definitely help the girl protect the young master!

  The next day, Gong Ziyi hosted a banquet, and Huo Xi arrived as scheduled.

  Arrived at the gate of Huixian Tower, just after opening the curtain, a hand came in obliquely, which startled Huo Xi, and looked closely...

"How did you come?"

   "I'm not coming, you plan to go to the banquet alone?" Mu Yan looked dissatisfied.

   "Two of them entertained me, why can't I go to the banquet?" Are you overthinking it?

   "There are two people in the family, and you are alone, so you don't feel lonely." He also looked reasonable.

   "Then there is no loneliness." The girls are all waiting outside, the sky is clear and the capital is crowded, so there is no loneliness.

   Not wanting to argue with him, he took his hand and got off the carriage.

  The two of them entered Huixian Building, and were led upstairs to the private room by the staff.

  Gong Ziyi was not surprised that Mu Yan would follow.

  Perhaps seeing that he arrived at the Duke’s mansion without a pass on that day, and the British Duke was still accustomed to his arrival, Gong Ziyi knew it in his heart.

   I'm afraid that the British Duke also knows what Young Master Mu wants.

   Feeling lost in my heart.

   After taking a look at Huo Xi, he quickly looked away and turned to entertain Mu Yan.

   And Mrs. Chen enthusiastically came up to hold her hand, beckoned her to sit down, and poured tea for her herself.

   "I heard that my sister went to the palace yesterday? Did you see the emperor?"

  Huo Xi nodded yes.

  Ms. Chen felt a little regretful, "I often heard my father say how wise and powerful the emperor is, but he never had the chance to see Tianyan. When I was living in the capital, my family was often invited to the palace for banquets..." But she never had a chance to enter the palace.

  Now that the other party's status is more than one or two steps higher than her own, there are still many opportunities like this, but as a merchant's wife, she has no chance to enter the palace again.

   You can't make friends with each other, you can only make good friends.

   "I'm very curious about what the emperor looks like." Mrs. Chen pulled Huo Xi to talk about family matters.

  Ordinary people may never have the chance to see Tianyan in their entire lives, so they will naturally be curious about the emperor who rules the world on the throne. Huo Xi then described a few words to her.

  Gong Ziyi listened on the sidelines, glanced at Mu Yan on the opposite side, and knew that his status was very different from him now, and he was afraid that he would never be able to walk by that person's side again. Hearing her whisper softly, it seemed as if something was gradually peeling off in my heart.

   As the person next to him, Mrs. Chen quickly sensed his emotions.

   said to Huo Xi: "Sister, I heard that the storyteller in Huixian Tower has attracted people all over the capital. We have heard about it in Huai'an. I wonder if my sister can accompany me to listen to books outside?"

  Huo Xi was naturally willing, so the two of them went outside to listen to books on the corridor.

  In the private room, only Mu Yan and Gong Ziyi were left sitting opposite each other. The two of them were silent, and neither of them spoke first.

  Mu Yan was originally a man of few words, and he had nothing to do with Gong Ziyi, so he stared at Huo Xi's figure through the open window.

   Gong Ziyi's eyes dimmed again. Looking at him: "Are you sincere to her?"

  Mu Yan looked at him with sincere and serious eyes: "I knew her earlier than you." It's really not sincere, and there is no need to tell others.

   "I've known her since she was young." Gong Ziyi was not to be outdone.

  Mu Yan smiled: "It's still not as early as me." He knew clearly about her.

  Even if they know that they have no chance now, but in a duel between men and men, no one wants to be weaker than the other.

  Gong Ziyi said: "But she is interested in me first."

   "It's because she didn't sort out her mind."

  Mu Yan remained motionless, but squeezed her fingers. He was sure of what he said, and he also knew that he spent more days with her, but he was also worried about her thoughts.

  Now her surname is Huo and Zhang, but she is not yet surnamed Mu. What kind of feelings does she have for herself?

   It was windy and rainy, and it entered winter overnight. Needing an extra quilt tonight. Dear friends, keep warm~
