Chapter 445: Family Affairs
Her face was flushed, and she didn't even dare to look at Huo Tianyou.
Prince Huo glanced at her quietly with his hands behind his back, and said for a long time: "The emperor should issue an edict soon, and as for your marriage, I will also discuss it with your father as soon as possible." ”
Lu Shuyi pursed her lips and didn't say anything, just listened to Huo Tianyou: "Then you will be tired." ”
Huo Wang Ye snorted coldly and said lightly: "Have you worked? How can I be ......?" finished speaking, waved his sleeves, didn't even look at Huo Tianyou, and said bluntly: "I'm also tired, you go out." ”
Huo Tianyou also had an indifferent expression, saluted, turned his head and pulled Lu Shuyi's arm out of the room.
Lu Shuyi was still in a trance, but Huo Tianyou slapped her on the forehead, and said with a chuckle: "Are you happy and stupid?" ”
She blushed, and immediately raised her eyebrows: "Why should I be happy and stupid? I was just...... I'm just thinking about how to reject your father. ”
Huo Tianyou looked at her with a red face but a serious look, and burst out laughing, and said slowly: "Really? Did you think of that? How on earth can I refuse my father's offer? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I naturally have my own plans." She pretended to be calm, rolled up her sleeves and looked at him and couldn't help asking, "Is your and my matter so settled?" ”
Huo Tianyou nodded solemnly: "Yes, it's settled, if nothing else, my mother should already be talking about this matter with your mother and grandmother now." ”
Lu Shuyi was stunned, and immediately said, "Then the identities of you and Mr. Bai ......"
"You don't have to worry about that. I'll explain it to your father myself. He took a deep breath, looked around, and saw that only Dongmei Dongqing and the people around him were there, so he gently held her hand and said gently: "You just need to embroider the wedding dress obediently, and I will do everything else for you." ”
Lu Shuyi's face turned red, and she was about to let go, but she heard a cough suddenly in her ear, followed by a woman's charming smile, which was very harsh. "Yo. Isn't this the second brother? This is ...... Oh, it turned out to be Miss Lu Jiasan, I said why can't I see people, it turned out to be here......". He Ruyi willow branch walked over gracefully. There was a smile on his face that he couldn't see through.
Lu Shuyi's hand was still in Huo Tianyou's palm. Her face was hot, and she was about to break free, but Huo Tianyou gently patted the back of her hand. Then he let go of her hand, smiled and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Lu Shuyi nodded, and her heart, which was still very uneasy, suddenly settled down because of the tone of this sentence.
She withdrew her hand with peace of mind, and smiled slightly at He Ruyi, and Dongmei and Holly also hurriedly came over and stood behind her, for fear that she would be wronged.
She was not flustered by her opinion, but she was slightly surprised in her heart, but she concealed it very well, and others could not notice it.
Huo Tianyou nodded at her lightly, and said, "It turned out to be the sister-in-law, is the sister-in-law also here to find her father?" ”
The corners of He Ruyi's mouth curled, smiled gently, glanced at the shed built with a tent and said, "It turns out that my father is inside?" I don't know. He smiled and said to Lu Shuyi: "I just feel bored and panicked, I came out to breathe, I didn't want to meet you." Her eyes moved slightly, her gaze swept from Huo Tianyou's hand to Lu Shuyi's, and she said with a puzzled expression: "You ......."
"Didn't my sister-in-law see everything we did?" Huo Tianyou's tone was light, without a trace of twisting and concealment, everything was placed under the sun, and he said lightly: "As you can see." ”
After speaking, his eyes fell on Lu Shuyi's face, only to see her eyebrows slightly lowered, her snow-white cheeks were full of a girl's unique ruddy, peach blossom-like luster, and her long eyelashes flickered, like a butterfly flying, everything was so beautiful.
The corners of his lips were unconsciously raised, and such an expression made He Ruyi feel very unhappy.
Since she married into the Huo family, she has always put herself in the position of the princess of the Huo family, and everyone is like a star holding the moon to her, and everything is big about her.
However, what she didn't expect was that in the future, she would be on an equal footing with her to be a concubine under the same roof, and she was born in a businessman.
He Ruyi's heart was full of unhappiness, and she felt very angry.
Anyway, her grandfather was also an old man in the court, and who was Lu Shuyi's grandfather? To put it bluntly, he's just a stinky iron seller.
Being a concubine with such a person is simply making her surrender her identity.
Although she was unhappy in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face, she just looked at Huo Tianyou with a smile, and said unhurriedly: "Oh, it turns out that the second brother is interested in Miss Lu San, no wonder the mother concubine values Miss Lu San so much, this is the truth." He smiled slightly, and said slowly: "I heard your brother say that you lacked a concubine room that day, but this is just coming." ”
These words were very harsh, and the blood of Dongmei and Holly who listened to it gushed up.
"What is a concubine?"
"Could it be that my young lady is only worthy of being a concubine?"
Dongmei and Holly muttered secretly, but they didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear of being blamed by Lu Shuyi.
Lu Shuyi was also angry in her heart, but she was also a person who had experienced wind and waves, and this blow was nothing, so she smiled softer and sweeter than ever, the curvature of her mouth was raised high, and she looked like she didn't care, as if He Ruyi's words were blown by a gust of wind, and she didn't hear it in her ears at all.
He Ruyi's fingers were suddenly pierced into the flesh, and a fire surged up in his heart.
"Oh? My eldest brother is still worried about me? It's really hard for him. Huo Tianyou smiled faintly, and said in a low and calm voice: "But I think it's better to forget about the concubine, after all, I can't afford three wives and four concubines, and I have never thought about it, if my brother thinks about it, I don't mind serving him." He smiled faintly and said clearly: "I know a lot of beautiful women." It's okay to choose one or two to serve my brother, but I just don't know if your sister-in-law will mind when the time comes. He raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you are everyone's best girl, I think this kind of thing should be easier for you to accept than others, right?" ”
He Ruyi's face suddenly became ugly, and even the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. She originally just wanted to satirize Lu Shuyi, but she didn't expect it to become a stone to shoot herself in the foot, and suddenly it became someone else's joke.
Dongmei and Holly secretly held back a smile, and the two sisters silently praised Huo Tianyou's behavior.
Lu Shuyi's heart was also extraordinarily warm, but she didn't want to see Huo Tianyou and He Ruyi compete against each other, after all, it was not worth it. So she smiled faintly and said, "What kind of concubine is not a concubine." I don't think the princess wants to listen to such a boring topic, right? When the dragon boat is over, there will be fireworks, I wonder if the princess is interested in watching the fireworks? ”
He Ruyi laughed very stiffly, and said lightly: "You guys go and see it first, I have other things." As he spoke, he reluctantly shifted his steps. Make way for it. And the grandmother and maid behind her also made a way.
Huo Tianyou thanked him generously. took Lu Shuyi away.
He Ruyi's lungs were about to burst, her eyes were full of poison, and the cold in her dark eyes was getting thicker. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said: "Shameless slut, he pulls and pulls with men in the blue sky and daytime, but he really has the face to live." ”
The old grandmother beside her, Mama Dou, also immediately stretched her neck and spat on the ground, and whispered: "It's really not worth it to break your body for this shameless popularity, don't be angry." After a pause, he whispered, "What does she have to be proud of?" It's just a businesswoman, how could the prince agree to let her in? Even if she's a hook||The second son is introduced, it's useless, whether you can enter the door or not is up to our prince. ”
He Ruyi pinched his fingers and immediately said, "Let's go, go to the prince." ”
The group entered the shed, and Huo Wangye was drinking tea at the table, and the expression on his face could not see the ups and downs.
He Ruyi saluted quietly, she didn't dare to rashly tell her grievances, but only mentioned the matter of meeting Lu Shuyi and Huo Tianyou outside the shed, she frowned worriedly and said: "I shouldn't have said much about this kind of thing as a sister-in-law, but after all, I have married into the Huo family, so I should protect the face of the Huo family...... The daughter-in-law thought it was really inappropriate. She pursed her lips and said cautiously, "Otherwise...... It's better to let the second brother accept the third girl than to pull and pull like this...... It is really unseemly to be seen. ”
Her words reveal the virtuous and virtuous virtues of everyone's ladies, and she has only one purpose, that is, to compare Lu Shuyi to worthlessness.
Huo Wangye just silently took a sip of hot tea, without too much expression on his face, and said lightly: "In the future, she will be your younger brother and sister, what you see today, you may see more in the future......"
Yun Danfeng said lightly, but He Ruyi was shocked.
Siblings? Why not a concubine? Is the Huo family going to be reduced to marrying the daughter of a businessman?
Even if Huo Tianyou is not the son of the world, but marrying a wife is such a big thing, how can the Huo family be sloppy?
She was puzzled, very puzzled, so she could only look at Huo Wangye with wide eyes and said, "Father, you ...... Do you mean that the second brother is ...... Does he want to marry the third girl of the Lu family? ”
She looked incredulous.
However, Prince Huo gave her a very positive answer, and said: "The marriage will be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you and your mother may have to work hard for a while, your mother is not in good health, and you have to bear more for everything." ”
Huo Wangye's tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion, so He Ruyi didn't know what to say, so he only nodded.
However, she was still unwilling, and after thinking about it, she frowned and asked, "Forgive my daughter-in-law for talking too much, but Miss Lu San is from a ...... is just an ordinary businessman's family, how can he be the wife of the second brother? If it's a concubine, there's nothing to say......"
In fact, for He Ruyi, the more ordinary the woman Huo Tianyou marries, the less it can pose a threat to her and Huo Tiankang's status, so she should have been happy about marrying Lu Shuyi, but the innate sense of imbalance of women has always been in her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
She looked at Prince Huo eagerly, wanting to ask for an answer, but Prince Huo said lightly: "In a few days, you will know why I chose her as my daughter-in-law, now, you just need to know that she will be our Huo family in the future." ”
He Ruyi was depressed, but he couldn't, so he had to nod, and he should be well-behaved.
However, after she came out, she immediately sent someone to inquire about everything about Lu Shuyi, and specially sent someone to her mother's house to send a letter to help inquire if there was anything important in the court.
In her opinion, it is impossible for Prince Huo to casually let the daughter of a businessman marry into the Huo family, so there should be something unusual happening to Lu Shuyi......
And on Princess Huo's side, she was already happy to tell the Wu family, Mrs. Lu and the Yang family that the Huo family was going to marry the Lu family.
Princess Huo smiled very happily and said to Wu: "I understand that my son, if Yi'er marries him, she must be held in the palm of her hand, and I don't have a daughter, so I will naturally treat her as a daughter......
Old Mrs. Lu and Yang were shocked when they heard this.
The Huo family actually took the initiative to marry their Lu family?
Mrs. Lu was in a trance and still had a feeling of dreaming, but she heard Wu say: "As long as the children are happy, we don't have any opinions as adults." ”
She woke up like a dream, and said excitedly to Princess Huo: "Our Yi'er is really a blessing from the third generation, and it is ...... It was able to enter the eyes of the second son. ”
However, what Yang was thinking about was Mr. Bai in her mind, and she said with a depressed face: "It's just that Yi'er and Mr. Bai in your mansion ...... before."
Princess Huo laughed when she heard Mr. Bai purse her lips, she shook her head and said, "What should I say about this matter?" Hey, blame my son for being naughty. She pursed her lips and explained with a smile: "Actually, there is no Mr. Bai in this world at all, that is my son in disguise......"
Except for the Wu family, everyone's faces were surprised.
Mr. Bai turned out to be Huo Tianyou......
In addition to being shocked or shocked, but it was a great joy for Mrs. Lu, in this way, she didn't have to worry about any regrets about marriage, just marry Lu Shuyi to Huo Tianyou.
So she reacted immediately, with an ecstatic look, and said to Princess Huo: "That's the case, the second son's disguise is too powerful, and after seeing it a few times, we didn't find it at all." He smiled again and said: "Whether it is Mr. Bai or the second son, they all fall in love with our Lu family." ”
Yang pouted when he listened, this sycophant was patted ......
However, she didn't say anything, but said to Princess Huo: "It's just that Yi'er is still young and a little ignorant, if she marries into the palace, I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to it." (To be continued......)
