Chapter 72: It's not easy
Huo Yixiao didn't speak for a long time.
It's not that you don't have something to say, but it's that you don't seem to have to say anything.
The little fox's sentence "The wronged have a head, and the debtor has the owner" blocked all his words.
Xia Taifu's granddaughter has been with Princess Cheng'an in the palace for many years, and it is impossible to be clumsy.
I don't know what the female officials have taught, and they have taught someone who understands right and wrong and "can distinguish clearly".
It's better to not be able to tell the difference!
Stirring up nonsense, whether it can be pulled or not, they are all gathered together, and the debt is also on his head, where is there so much nonsense now.
But in that case, it's not a warm feast.
Huo Yixiao drank the last cup of tea, stood up, and said, "I'll go back." ”
Wen Yan propped up his cheeks and looked up at him: "Then my favor, does Xiao Ye help or not?" ”
Huo Yixiao said: "What? If I help, you like it, if you don't help, you don't like it? ”
"Where is it," Wen Yan stood up with a smile, took Huo Yixiao's cloak from the shelf, unfolded it gently, thought about it, and didn't put it on him directly, but only handed it to him, "It's a two-way thing." ”
Huo Yixiao took it and was noncommittal.
Seeing that Wen Yan was going to send him, Huo Yixiao said: "Is there a lack of your courtesy?" As soon as I opened the door later, the cold wind poured in, one cold and one hot, Gai Ming'er, you are really sick, haven't you really become my victim? When the time comes, the ready-made reason will depend on me. ”
Wen Yan's eyes smiled and said, "Xiao Ye said this, I want to send it more and more." ”
He said this, but he didn't move any more steps.
Huo Yixiao saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart that the little fox had bells and whistles in his mouth, and he could tell the difference.
The old lady opened the door.
Huo Yixiao hurriedly went out, and along the road he came, he went out of the Ding'an Hou Mansion.
The night was cold, and the hot sweat he smoked at Wen Yan disappeared almost instantly.
When I entered the inn and returned to the house, I was covered with a chill.
The charcoal basin in the corner was still lit, and Huo Yixiao took it and dried his hands rarely.
Not hot enough.
It's nowhere near as good as the warm banquet.
In prison last year, she was really frozen enough.
Maybe it's not just frozen, but suddenly the world is turned upside down, from the gorgeous court to the cold dungeon, she has experienced not only a change in her life situation, but also an uneasiness and fear of the situation she faces.
Who will die and who will live?
What's going on out there?
Worry and fear are also enough to crush a person's body.
But she had nothing to do but wait day by day.
Until the day she saw the light of day again, in addition to the blue sky, she also waited for the death of her parents, and all the people in her grandfather's and in-laws' families who were involved in the case, beheaded, exiled......
It's not unusual to fall ill.
Now, a year later, it is not easy for Wen Yan to cheer up.
Think about it this way......
Huo Yixiao rubbed his eyebrows, just don't worry about the little fox, she likes to say what she wants, but the left ear goes in and out of the right ear, he can't stay in Lin'an for long, and when he leaves, the little fox can't say anything.
After all, it is impossible for Wen Yan to enter the capital again.
She is in the capital, she has no relatives, and the house is gone.
All the relatives died in the capital, and it was a sad place.
Anyway, just ten days and half a month, he should be kind and help, and there is no shortage of meat.
In the Xi Garden.
The old lady blew out the lamp.
Wen Yan turned over and heard the sound of the rain.
Winter in Jiangnan is like this, there are few snowflakes, more rain, and some snow from time to time, which makes people cold and uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the charcoal fire is enough, and the sleep is enough.
When Wen Yan woke up, the rain had already stopped, and the old lady said that it would only be two quarters of an hour before and after.
Mama Hu came over in good spirits and said with a smile: "Madame asked the slave maid to ask, whether it is charcoal fire or other things to keep out the cold, if the girl is missing, just speak." ”
Wen Yan thanked him.
Mama Hu said again: "Madame went to the Longevity Hall to ask for peace, the old lady just read the girl, saying that the girl is afraid of cold, it has been cold these days, the girl's body is important, there is no need to follow the morning and dusk of the time, the old lady knows that you are filial, the ancestors and grandchildren of the in-laws, there is no shortage of those rules." ”
Wen Yan was dressing up, and he was slightly stunned when he heard the words.
This drama of grandmother's love and granddaughter's admiration, she finally got tired of playing Mrs. Gui.
It's not easy.
Of course, it is more likely that she was asked to hold back the words of the day before yesterday, and the old lady wanted to slow down.
Turning his head, Wen Yan and Mama Hu said: "Grandmother really misses me, even so, I won't go today, in case I am really sick, it will make my grandmother sad." My mother greeted my grandmother and uncle on my behalf. ”
Wen Yan had a sweet mouth and said a series of good things.
Mama Hu replied one by one.
Cao Shi glanced at the old lady and said, "It's really a filial child." ”
Old Madam Gui rubbed her heart: "Not really. ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled, and when they moved their faces, Cao's secretly thought in his heart, Sister Yan is amazing, and she is lazy and steals at a high level; Mrs. Gui is angry, the little girl is very good at talking, and she is about to catch up with her!
Qingzhu led a mother-in-law in from outside, and both of them looked solemn.
Seeing this, Old Madam Gui asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The mother-in-law lowered her head and said: "The yamen sent news that something happened to the Ruan family, and the wife of the Ruan family threw herself into the pool in the middle of the night, and the people were gone." ”
Old Madam Gui was stunned, and Cao was even more shocked and almost smashed the teacup in her hand.
Wen Yuan also rushed to the Longevity Hall when he heard the news, and said in a trembling voice: "Ruan Chen's family? My mother-in-law? Will she throw into the pool? ”
The mother-in-law had a bitter face and said: "The official who went to the Yamen early in the morning to report to the prefect of Ruan said that the people in the house found that the pool was floating in the early morning, and it was out of gas when it was fished up, so the master did not submit the paper of Heli for the time being, and only asked people to come back and report to the house." The wife of the Ruan family is gone, and it may be a little unkind to go to court at this time. ”
Wen Yuan shook her head again and again, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Gui: "Grandmother, she can't be a ......person who can't think of it herself."
"Don't worry," said Mrs. Gui, "the person is gone, you said she wouldn't, isn't that someone throwing it down?" This is the murder. The case is decided by the yamen, you wait. ”
That's what it is.
Wen Kite bowed his head, and was just about to retire, but was pulled by the old lady again.
"It's reasonable that you can't sit still when something like this happens," Old Madam Gui held Wen Yuan's hand and said seriously, "Although you want to reconcile with the Ruan family, the Ruan Chen family is still your mother-in-law at this time."
His family was unjust, and he said some nonsense before, but our Hou Mansion couldn't lose its advance and retreat and rules.
It is reasonable for you to go back to Ruan's house.
In this way, you call Brother Ci and Sister Yan, and ask them to accompany you, first to the Yamen, and then to Ruan's house.
We have taken care of the etiquette and don't pay lip service. ”
Although Wen Yuan didn't want to deal with the Ruan family, what Old Madam Gui said was very reasonable, so she agreed.
The Cao family prepared carriages and horses for them, and Wen Yuan went to Xiyuan to invite Wen Yan.
Mrs. Gui leaned on the pillow and took a sip of tea without hesitation.
Isn't Wen Yan going to accompany Wen Kite more?
Her old man's house has all been arranged.
Let's see if Wen Yan goes out or not!
