Chapter 111: Huo Xiao came to the door
In fact, what Huo Xiao said was not wrong, he and Pei Jinxin were not officially married.
According to the identities of the two of them, the real marriage must be officially given by the emperor, even according to the folk practice, the two of them have not even exchanged Geng stickers, not to mention those cumbersome marriage procedures, so the verbal agreement is actually not binding at all.
In an ordinary family, it is not uncommon for two women to chat and joke together, your daughter will marry my son in the future, we will be in-laws in the future, etc., and no one will really take such words seriously.
The crux of the problem is that Princess Yongfu and Gu Xi are not ordinary women, and the matter of their agreement on the relationship between their children and daughters has also been spread, although not so much that everyone in the world knows about it, at least almost everyone in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty knows about it, and even the royal family has acquiesced, and it is almost the same as the official marriage.
King Fu actually didn't agree with Princess Yongfu marrying Huo Xiao early, but he has always been obedient to his only daughter, and he can fight for it in small matters, but he has no say in major matters, so he can't help Huo Xiao's marriage.
He pressed his eyebrows vigorously, sighed and said: "You guys are too lazy to take care of these things, but I want to remind you that it is impossible for people to live a lifetime to have everything go well......"
Huo Xiao was very annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but interrupt King Fu's words: "Second old man, I really haven't thought about everything going well in this life, but I have to have the final say in some major matters." He paused and smiled flatteringly at King Fu: "I am absolutely like you in this regard, and I will not hesitate to use all means for this." ”
After all, King Fu is old, and he has to rest after lunch every day, but I saw him drooping his eyelids and waving his hand at Huo Xiao: "Get out, what kind of ability is it to just be a fool, and when you really do it, you will come to show it in front of Lao Tzu again on that day!" ”
Huo Xiao was still worried about what was going on with Zhou Guard, and when he saw that his grandfather was finally willing to let him go, he ran out of King Fu's study with a smoke.
Guard Zhou had been waiting in the side hall of Huo Xiao's courtyard for nearly two hours, and he didn't know how many cups of tea he had drunk, and when he heard the familiar footsteps, he couldn't wait to greet him.
Although he came to see Huo Xiao after carefully grooming himself. But his face could not hide the tiredness after the long journey.
"Brother Zhou is hard, so you don't have to be polite." Huo Xiao stretched out his hand to stop his salute, and the two returned to the side hall together.
"Master, the Dou family and his party have arrived safely in Dongningwei early this morning. The subordinates have been secretly taking care of them along the way, and Du Si has already greeted them, and you can visit Mrs. Dou at any time after they settle down. Zhou Guard didn't wait for the master to ask, and took the initiative to explain the situation.
Huo Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Zhou hasn't had a good rest for a few months, so go back and rest for a few days first." I'll call you for something. ”
Guard Zhou knelt down on one knee and said, "Yes, master, my subordinates retire." ”
※※※※
Dou Dayong and his wife arrived in Dongningwei smoothly, thinking that they would need to live at the post station for at least half a month, after all, going to the capital to report, finding a house, and so on are not things that can be done in a while.
To their surprise, as soon as they arrived at Dongningwei, Dusi sent a lot of people to help them, and even found a suitable house for them.
The couple was confused and sighed at the same time, saying that the people in the northwest were bold, and it seemed that the people in Liaodong were more enthusiastic. It's a little unbearable!
But in this way, their family is trouble-free, especially the mother of the house, Yuan Hui, looking at the spacious house in front of her, and listening to the quotation of the owner, she is simply unspeakably satisfied.
The accompanying people are used to it, and the housewife will perform their duties as soon as they give an order, and by dusk a qiē has been basically arranged, and the Dou family, who has been tired for more than two months, finally slept peacefully in the new home after a full meal.
In the next few days, Dou Dayong was busy building relationships with his new boss and colleagues. Yuan Hui further arranged the affairs of the family carefully, and their family's life soon got on the right track.
It was fast to the end of October, and the weather was getting colder.
Although the winter in the northwest is also very cold, it is still slightly inferior to that of Liaodong. Yuan Hui ordered someone to prepare a mutton pot, just waiting for Dou Dayong to come back and have dinner together.
Although Yuan Hui was born in Houmen, he has been a person who does not like restraint since he was a child, and he has lived with Dou Dayong in the northwest for ten years, and his personality has become more and more cheerful and bright.
At the end of Shen Shi, Dou Dayong came back on time. Today, he is not alone, and he returned home with the pseudonym Yuan Xiao.
Everyone in the capital of Liaodong knows that the grandson of His Royal Highness King Fu is Huo Xiaowangye, but since he came to Liaodong, Huo Xiao has never disclosed his identity in front of people, so for the people in the capital, except for the commanders, Huo Xiaowang still only hears his name and has not seen him. And the commander of the capital naturally did not dare to reveal his identity.
Huo Xiao deliberately dressed up very plainly today, but because of his outstanding appearance, he still looks very handsome. At noon today, he specially arranged a drama of "recognizing relatives", and then he took two small servants with calligraphy, ink, and inkstone to Dou Dayong's mansion.
Jingnan Hou Mansion is a very big family, Yuan Hui was an inconspicuous two-room girl in the Hou Mansion back then, and she couldn't recognize all the relatives in the clan back then.
In addition, she has been away from the capital for more than ten years, except for the high-ranking elders of the Hou Mansion back then, she has almost forgotten about everyone else, especially a child of Huo Xiao's age, she has never even heard of it.
No one can deny that when an extremely good-looking person wants to please people, he always does more with less.
Just like Huo Xiao at this time, with only a bright smile, an aunt, and a face-to-face appearance, he won Yuan Hui's favor.
"Dayong, whose child is this, why do you call me aunt?" After all, Yuan Hui is still a shrewd and capable housewife, although she has a good impression of this nephew who suddenly appeared, she is still not completely fooled.
Dou Dayong is an honest man, his mouth is far inferior to Huo Xiaolisuo, and before he could speak, Huo Xiao took the initiative to laugh and said: "Aunt Hui, I am the grandson of the old lady in the third room, and the fourth old man Yuan Zhi is the father of the family, and the boy has a single name." ”
At this time, Yuan Hui suddenly realized, it turned out that this boy was the son of the fourth cousin, and the name was completely correct, and the names of the children of their generation were all from the waterside, she immediately smiled and said: "It turned out to be the child of the cousin's family, Yuan Xiao?" Then my aunt will call you Brother Xiao. ”
Huo Xiao officially gave Yuan Hui a big salute: "My nephew has seen my aunt." (To be continued.) )
