Chapter 148: But it's low
Sitting in the carriage back home, the mood of the Huo family's mother and daughter was also a little stunned, and they couldn't tell whether they were sad or worried, or whether it was more of a kind of self-mourning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Huo Tingshu's face was gloomy, and she sat alone by the window, looking at the street scene rushing by outside, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
This gloomy expression made her face lose a lot of color, and the slightly distorted tips of her eyebrows were pressed low, completely missing the bright ** people of the past.
What happened in the garden of Wanfang, Huo Tingshu didn't say a word.
It's not because she's self-conscious, it's because it's not the first time that their sisters have been treated as a joke.
Since Huo Zhijian took office, such things have happened one after another.
A few days ago, she went to Xiao Mansion to participate in the flower viewing banquet, and they had mistaken the water from their hands for mouthwash, which caused a bigger joke than today; A few days ago, she took a few younger sisters to He Mansion as guests, because the style of clothing on her body was the style of most of them five years ago, so she was secretly laughed at by those He family girls, and it happened that their secret laughter was listened to by Huo Tingshu.
Those two times were as good as today, and because of the large number of characters on the scene, they couldn't hide it at all, and now they have spread all over the upper class of the county, that is, the Qin family is now a little closed to the news, so they don't know anything about it, otherwise, the situation in Yunfang Garden today will definitely be even more embarrassing.
Huo Tingshu thought gloomily, a trace of silence rippled between her soft eyebrows, even the new gorgeous clothes and green sleeves were like water, and the blue wisps were like clouds, and they couldn't hide the gloom in her expression.
“…… My son is the head of the Huo family's girls, so I need to be more careful in my behavior, so as not to disgrace the Huo family's reputation again......"
At that moment, Mrs. Huo's reddish eyes appeared in her mind again, and the reproaches were still in her ears, and every time she thought about it, it made people feel like a thorn in her back, restless.
Everything that happened in the Fang Garden, Huo Tingshu didn't plan to say it.
She believes that Huo Tingxian will never mention it.
was exposed in public by the Huo family, if this kind of thing was known by the mother, or even spread to the ears of the father, their sisters would be punished again.
The taste of reciting the ancestral teachings on the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, she really didn't want to taste it again.
“…… Ajiu, Ajiu. Mrs. Huo's voice suddenly came from her ears, and she was calling Huo Tingshu's name.
Huo Tingshu suddenly woke up, and hurriedly showed a light smile to Mrs. Huo: "Mother, don't blame, I was distracted for a while and didn't hear you speak." What did Mother just say?"
Mrs. Huo seemed to be a little worried, and did not notice her abnormality, so she frowned and asked, "I am asking you, in your opinion, what is the situation in the Qin Mansion?"
They came today on Huo Zhijian's orders, the purpose was to find out the bottom of the Qin family, and by the way, to ask about the relationship between the Qin family and the Xue family.
Hearing Mrs. Huo's question, Huo Tingshu pondered for a moment and said softly: "The word rich and noble, the Qin family...... Only half of it. ”
The half she said was naturally the first half of the "rich", and as for the word "expensive", there is nothing left in the Qin family today. Perhaps because of the extravagance, the charm of the Nashi clan was dispelled, but it was somewhat similar to those nouveau riche.
"That's what I thought, too. Mrs. Huo nodded approvingly, paused for a while, and frowned again, "I see that those little ladies of the Qin family still look a little good." My son went out for a walk with them, and the hour was not too short, so I don't know what I could see?"
Huo Tingshu raised her hand and gathered her sleeves, swept the hair on her sideburns behind her ears, and said in a flat voice: "It's not surprising." The eldest lady of the Qin family is not elegant enough, more than rigid, and does not know how to be flexible; although Qin Erniang is talented and good-looking, she loses her high self-promise, and is too late; Qin Siniang's temperament is acceptable, but it is too harsh, saying that it is a century-old scholar, in my opinion, it is not as gentle as the little lady of the merchant family; as for the two concubines......
She paused here for a moment, and a faint disdain crossed her eyes: "It's just a thing, and I won't even have a chance to do it in the future, so I won't care about them." ”
She casually commented on the several ladies of the Qin family, but the hands in her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists.
The humiliation she suffered in the Qin family today will be repaid one day, but in front of her mother, she doesn't want to grow the morale of others, so she gave an answer that can satisfy everyone.
The Qin family has become a merchant, such a family, their Huo family should not be taken into account at all.
Naturally, when she said this, Huo Tingshu didn't pay attention to Huo Tingxian on the side, but the cold aura emanating from her body seemed to be inadvertently expressing something.
Huo Tingxian shrank visibly and lowered his head.
Compared with her parents, she was more afraid of this eldest sister, and she didn't dare to have any objections at this time.
Mrs. Huo didn't know what the two daughters thought, and seeing that Huo Tingshu's evaluation of the daughters of the Qin family was quite low, and Huo Tingxian had nothing else to say, she also relaxed a little.
Although I don't know what Huo Zhijian means, as his pillow person, Mrs. Huo can also guess a rough idea.
In her opinion, Huo Zhijian seems to be deliberately taking advantage of the Qin family, but now that the Qin family is so weak, there is no one to support the door, and there is no other scholar clan to help, he can act with peace of mind and don't have to worry too much.
Mrs. Huo breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling that today was worth the trip, and her mood improved. And the Huo family sisters also felt that today's incident was concealed in the end, and they were also happy in their hearts. So, on the rest of the journey, the mother and daughter talked and laughed, and an hour later, the carriage drove into their mansion in Pingcheng.
It is a three-entry courtyard, with a small garden, the pavilions in the garden are elegant, the grass and trees are fragrant, and it has a bit of southern graceful charm, but it is much more exquisite and beautiful than their old house in Jianning County.
When she first moved into the courtyard, Huo Tingshu was also overjoyed. It's just that she has repeatedly gone out in the past few days, and has seen the style of the major clans in Jiangyang County, which is a Cheng family that has gradually declined, and the landscape courtyard is already amazing, and today I went to a large mansion like the Qin Mansion, which is not much worse than the Han'an Township Mansion.
Just talking about the plaque on the lintel, the Huo family is more than two circles smaller than the Qin family. And thinking about the knowledge, conversation, demeanor and knowledge of the girls of the Qin family, Huo Tingshu and Huo Tingxian's mood fell again.
Even if they are in decline, the aura that emanates from their bones still makes them feel ashamed of themselves.
Fortunately, Mrs. Huo was in a hurry to go to the study to reply to her husband, but she did not notice the abnormality of her two daughters. (To be continued.) )
