Huo Shuai's two replies to the capital were as fast as they were delivered.

The little servant took the letter, rushed into the three huts behind the Jinghua Palace, and presented the letter to Huo Wencan.

Huo Wencan carried a heart, tore open the envelope impatiently, looked at it at a glance, stared and held his breath, for a moment, he sighed, raised the letter, read it again, jumped up and fell, and laughed.

His father is so good, so wise, and so discerning!

Li Qingning glared at Huo Wencan, who was with his hands on his hips and looking up to the sky, and when his laughter stopped, he pouted and asked, "Did your father promise you?" ”

"That's it! Daddy praised me for my good vision, and said, if I can marry your fourth sister home, then I will be a great hero of our Huo family, and said, This is the glory of our Huo family, how about it? I said, my dad is the same as me, no, I'm the same as my dad, this vision, that's nothing to say! ”

Huo Wencan was smug.

"You, don't be happy early, I see, you and the fourth sister, the difficulty is not with you, but with the fourth sister." Li Qingning's unceremonious words knocked Huo Wencan from the clouds of happiness to reality.

But no, he is a family business, and the difficulty is not in him and their Huo family at all!

Cao Ming, who was at the other end of the room, looked sideways at Huo Wencan, who was happy, and couldn't say anything on his face.

The wife asked him to pay attention to Huo Wencan's family affairs......

Huo Wencan's laughter was so loud that he shocked the princes in Jinghua Palace.

The prince listened to the little chamberlain report the reason, raised one eyebrow, snorted for a moment, leaned over and took a few folds from the long case, handed them to the little chamberlain, and ordered: "Take these folds to Huo Wencan and Li Qingning, let them take a good look, rush over to check it out on the spot, and set off today." ”

The little chamberlain agreed, and went to the back three huts with the fold.

……………………

In the evening, when she returned home, Cao Ming went to greet Mrs. Wu first.

Old Madam Wu laughed when she heard that Huo Wencan received the letter, and sat up straight all of a sudden.

"Lady." Cao Ming didn't say any more, just looked at Old Madam Wu, who straightened her upper body all of a sudden, and shouted in a low voice.

"Good boy, you got it?" Old Madam Wu slowed down her body and mind, slowly leaned back on the pillow, and looked at Cao Ming with satisfaction.

"Well, you first told me to go out with Li Sanlang more, and then asked the fourth sister to talk to the fourth lady more, I thought of it." Cao Ming said in a low voice.

"Good boy." Old Madam Wu patted Cao Ming with satisfaction, "Today, let's talk about this matter." You sit here. ”

Mrs. Wu motioned for Cao Ming to sit on the edge of the couch.

Cao Ming moved over.

"Let's start with the big picture."

Old Madam Wu spoke softly.

"Our family, your grandfather's generation, let's not talk about it, the war is in chaos, we are a literati, that is, a life.

When it comes to your father and your second uncle, the opportunity is not bad, but your father and your second uncle are both limited in talent, and your father is now a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he has exhausted his strength, and your second uncle is not as good as your father.

You three brothers, your second brother doesn't talk about it, and your eldest brother is just like your father, alas.

That is, you. ”

Old Madam Wu paused and sighed lowly, "Third brother, my wife is talking to you today, in the final analysis, you are stronger than your eldest brother and second brother, but you are also limited, I never dare to think too much, I just ask you to keep it and wait for the next generation." ”

"Yes." Cao Ming lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

What the wife said was the truth, and the woman didn't say it, but he also saw it.

"The benefits of the fourth sister, the first one, is people, the fourth sister is not simple, when the wife is as old as her, she is not as good as her, at least the courage is not as good as her, and the tenacity is not as good as her.

If you can marry her back, in the future, big things, you listen to her, at least keep this one, the wife is not worried at all, if the luck is good, one step forward, it is not impossible to think.

Second, she is a blessed one.

The gods and ghosts are heavenly, and the wife is convinced.

Even if Renzong loses the country, he can be regarded as an emperor through the ages, but he was born at the wrong time.

Renzong, that is the maternal grandfather of the fourth sister's son-in-law, the fourth sister, is Renzong's only blood relative in this world, and her blessing is indispensable. ”

"Yes." Cao Ming replied in a low voice.

"Third, the emperor and the crown prince let her return to the Li family, which is a good thing."

"Huh?" Cao Ming looked at Mrs. Wu, he didn't understand this sentence.

"If you give her a county lord and county lord, it is to be erected and raised, look at the brightness, in fact, it is the statue of the god in the temple, you are not allowed to see it, and you are not allowed to move, and if you say no, it will be gone, that is really bitter, the fourth sister is bitter.

Now, she has returned to the Li family, she is a girl from the Li family, but the blood in her body, no matter where it goes, cannot be erased.

The emperor and the crown prince are very good to her, and she earns it herself.

In the future, according to the wife's view, the person who marries her will definitely be reused, which is very good for the people.

Look at it, is there a lot more scholars who go to the capital to take the exam this year? ”

Cao Ming twisted her eyebrows and thought about it carefully, and her brows slowly relaxed, "Wife, I understand." ”

"The fourth sister was born well, and she has a good temperament, your aunt likes her very much, and you think it's good, don't you?" Old Madam Wu looked at her little grandson carefully.

"Yes." Cao Ming lowered her eyes and nodded.

The fourth lady is indeed very good, very good.

"Whether this family business can be done or not depends on the fortune of our Cao family, the wife didn't dare to think about it, just did her best, I hope we have good luck."

Mrs. Wu really didn't dare to be too optimistic, after all, that sister has that ability, so she naturally has a temper, and besides, who that sister wants to marry, from the emperor to the prince, is all a nod to the head.

"Since the Huo family has picked this matter out of the light, we can't wait any longer, tomorrow the grandmother will go to the Wang family and find out this matter with Mrs. An, and we have to ask her to come forward for this matter."

Old Madam Wu and Cao Ming said.

"Yes." Cao Ming replied in a low voice.

……………………

Li Ran took more than ten steps away from the noodle shop at the mouth of the alley, stood and watched for a moment before continuing forward.

After the noodle shop, Xie Ze, dressed in black, stepped out of the darkness, frowned slightly, and looked at Li Ran, who was running towards him with excitement.

Seeing Li Ran pounce in front of him, Xie Ze didn't move, only frowned and looked at her, "It's going to rain, still come out?" ”

"Not down yet." Li Ran looked up at Xie Ze.

Xie Ze frowned, looking very annoyed, snorted, and turned to go into the alley.

Li Ran took a few steps and followed Xie Ze.

After passing through the alley, Xie Ze didn't turn around, and went straight forward.

Li Ran followed Xie Ze closely, and wherever he went, she went.

It was getting darker and darker, and the rain began to fall.

"Get in the car and go back!" Xie Ze took the umbrella handed by the servant and ordered Li Ran with a cold face.

Li Ran didn't say a word, walked to the car that came over, jumped into the car with both hands, picked up her skirt and shrank in.

Xie Ze stepped forward, looked at Li Ran and said, "Don't come over in the future." ”

Li Ran was stunned, and before she could speak, Xie Ze had already turned around and left.

Li Ran sat in the car, listening to the crackling rain and looking at the darkness outside the car.

He said, "Don't come here again."

……………………

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wu took the car and went to Wang's house to visit Mrs. An.

Although Mrs. Wu and Mrs. An usually do not interact much, when they meet together, they often have to talk for a long time, and they cannot be regarded as knowing, and they are also very speculative people.

When the mother-in-law came in to report, Mrs. An was talking to Mrs. Xie about the two replies from the king of Hejian County yesterday.

Hearing that Mrs. Wu was coming, Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. An.

Mrs. An laughed, "There's nothing else, her third brother is very good, you go to greet her." ”

Mrs. Xie smiled and stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Wu followed Mrs. Xie in, exchanged a few words of greeting, and got straight to the point.

“…… Please also forgive the old lady and the lady, I came this time, but I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I have something to ask for. ”

"You are polite, if there is anything, you just have to say." Mrs. An said with a smile.

"I took a fancy to the fourth sister of the Li family in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, and I wanted to see if my little grandson had this blessing."

Old Madam Wu was straightforward.

"The fourth sister had a seizure in our house, the two Nizi of Zhongyong Bofu and Zhongyi Bofu, and scared them sick, I took a fancy to them, but at that time, I didn't dare to mention it, and I didn't have a place to mention it.

It wasn't until later that I heard that the prince had spoken, and the fourth sister's family affairs were decided by the fourth sister.

From the moment I heard this, I thought, where should I mention this matter, so that I can not lose my courtesy and not wronged the fourth sister.

Thinking about it, that is, you here, can afford the big matter of the fourth sister, so I came to the door. ”

"The fourth sister's temper is not good, and she can still talk to Liunizi." Mrs. An did not agree or refuse.

"My third brother has a very good temper." Old Madam Wu smiled and said: "The third brother can be regarded as you and Mrs. grew up, I dare not say anything else, I have a good temper and are careful and considerate, I dare to boast."

The third brother and his mother, Mrs. knows best, she is kind and good-tempered, and she is a self-aware and self-conscious person, in the future, I dare not say anything else, this evil aunt will never have one.

Our Cao family, the old lady knows best, the third brother's father, his uncle, are all mediocre people, the next head of the Cao family, since the third brother was seven or eight years old, I told the third brother and his father that it was from my hands to the hands of the third brother and his wife.

If the third brother is blessed to marry the fourth sister of the Li family, this family will be handed over from me to the fourth sister, and when I close my eyes, I will be able to leave with peace of mind. ”

Mrs. Wu said that she was at ease and steadfast, and her eyes turned red.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly stood up and re-brewed tea and served it to Mrs. Wu.

"You and Madame are both talkers, so I'll say a few more words.

The family of Hejian County is higher than our Cao family, and Prince Huo is a rare talent, but first, the first two brothers of the Huo family are not worse than him, and there is no need for the third brother of the Huo family to support the family in the future, and secondly, Princess Du did not fancy the fourth sister.

The fourth sister is a capable and temperamental, and if she really marries into the Hejian County Palace, I always feel aggrieved.

People like me, whether this day is good or not, the first one, I will see if I can make me speak, whether I can be satisfied, the fourth sister is more capable than me, this day, I have to live a good life, and it is good to be satisfied.

Do you say? ”

"It's useless to say it's useless, it's useless to say no." Mrs. Ann laughed. "Look at the fourth sister, I've been watching it for half a year, I must know better than me, it's useless for any of us to say this, the fourth sister has to take care of it herself."

"That's it, naturally I want the fourth sister to be the master. But in this matter, I have to ask the old lady to take this red line first. ”

"Okay." Mrs. An agreed extremely happily. "I told the fourth sister what you said, whether it will work out or not, let's just look at what the fourth sister means, okay?"

"Okay! Thank you to the old lady and the lady, whether it will work out or not depends on whether the Cao family and my little grandson have this luck. ”

Old Madam Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

She had already persuaded Mrs. An that this first step was good.

Seeing off Mrs. Wu, the smile on Mrs. An's face came out, and she looked at Mrs. Xie and laughed first, "Okay, now there are two families, these two are good." ”

"Yes, the Cao family is indeed better, and the fourth sister is a person who can be in charge." Mrs. Xie also laughed.

"It depends on what the fourth sister means." After a pause, Mrs. An laughed again, "How good the Huo family's brother is, I can't say this." ”

"Well, it's not bad anyway." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.

……………………

Li Ran didn't sleep well at night, and was in chaos all night, as if she had been dreaming, and she couldn't remember what she had dreamed, just in a daze.

After breakfast, Li Ran shrunk on the couch in the easternmost ear room, his eyes closed as if he was sleeping.

She knew that she was a little messy and needed to calm down and sort it out, but she didn't want to move, she didn't want to care.

Mama Fu stood in the corner of the room, glancing at Li Ran, who was curled up on the couch and motionless from time to time.

She could tell she was gloomy and depressed, but she didn't know what was wrong with her or what had happened.

She didn't ask Zhou E, she and Zhou E had their own errands.

At noon, Li Ran ate very little.

After eating, she sat on the couch in the main room, lowered her eyes and drank tea, a cup of tea drank for half an hour, and after drinking two cups of tea, Li Ran got off the bed, she was going out.

The car walked unhurriedly, and when it entered Beiwazi, the car slowed down, Li Ran looked up at the elephant shed, and for a moment, he commanded in a low voice: "Go to the Eight Immortal Tower." ”

The coachman drove the car forward and stopped at the foot of the Eight Immortals Tower.

Li Ran got out of the car, and Zhou E followed, one after the other, and entered the Eight Immortals Building.

At this time, the lunch was already early, and there was still a period of time before dinner, and there were almost no people in the Eight Immortals Building, most of them were taking a nap, and some were busy cleaning and scrubbing everywhere.

Li Ran and Zhou E entered the private room they frequented and asked for a few snacks and a pot of tea.

Zhou E sat next to the door, her back against the wall, her feet on the high table next to her, her face cold, and she stared at the white clouds outside the window in a daze.

Li Ran sat at the table, holding her cheeks, looking out the window in a daze.

Outside the window, the sun is setting in the west, the sun is setting, the night is falling, and the lights are lit.

Li Ran stood up and walked out, Zhou E frowned, watched Li Ran pass by her, went out, stood up, stomped her feet in annoyance, and followed Li Ran.

Next to the Eight Immortal Towers is the Wanshou Temple, and after the Wanshou Temple, it is the dark alley.

The noodle restaurant at the mouth of the alley is full of diners.

Li Ran passed the noodle shop, and both sides of the alley were quiet.

Li Ran stepped forward and walked out of the red lantern light of the noodle shop.

The moon is obscured by clouds, appearing and disappearing, and the alleys alternate between light and darkness.

Li Ran hung his head, walked slowly, walked to the horizontal alley, turned a corner, and walked along the horizontal alley until he reached the lake.

The lotus leaf fields by the lake, the water waves in the middle of the lake are slight.

Li Ran stood and watched for a while, then slowly squatted down, covering her face against her knees.

She didn't want to tidy herself up, she didn't want to sort out the mess from last night, she escaped for a day, in the end, she couldn't escape the past.

He said, "Don't come here again."

Why did she come here? Trip after trip, like taking poison.

She is taking drugs, she is too greedy for the little warmth on him, the steadfastness, and the dependence. She's too vulnerable.

She was taken captive, no one planned to let her come back alive, that Cui Wei Residence, even the people were evacuated, and Qiu Yue went back to be her second-class girl.

It's like when I went to Shanxian to pick her up, I had no intention of picking up the living.

She survived and came back because of him, who reached out to her, rescued her, and protected her.

Here she was, as before, when she was sick and curled up in a corner, dizzy and awake, one after another looking at her from afar and near, full of sympathy, but no one reached out to help, not even a glass of water.

Sympathy is ethereal, and help is practical and warm.

She didn't want to tidy herself up, tidy up all this, because, like now, little by little, cut it with a knife, when she saw it clearly, she should understand that he had reached out to help, and she shouldn't have clinged to him because of this steady warmth.

She couldn't just let him go to his fire and bake it, and then lie by the fire.

He had already said: Don't come here in the future.

It's time for her to go back.

Li Ran slowly exhaled, his face was lifted out of his palm, and he looked at the black in front of him in a daze, and went up along the black, Li Ran's head was raised to the highest, and he saw Xie Ze, who was wrinkling his eyebrows and looking at her with a worried face.

"Are you here......" Before Xie Ze's words were finished, Li Ran's tears burst out of his eyes, raised his hand to cover his face, and cried bitterly.

Xie Ze squatted down and looked helplessly at Li Ran, who was crying hoarsely and crying.

Alas, how could she cry so much.

"Wipe it." Xie Ze stuffed the handkerchief into Li Ran's hand.

Li Ran grabbed the handkerchief and pressed it to her face, wiping her nose and tears.

"Crying?" Seeing Li Ran's crying gradually lowering, Xie Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmm." Li Ran wiped her snot again.

"Are you hungry?" Xie Ze stood up and looked at Li Ran, who stood up with him.

"Hmm." Li Ran hung her head and didn't dare to raise it, she didn't know what her face looked like now.

"Rub again." Xie Ze took out a ball of snot and tears from Li Ran's hand, and stuffed a handkerchief for her.

Li Ran hung her head and wiped it.

"Look up, I'll see."

Li Ran raised his head, Xie Ze frowned, looked carefully, and sighed, "Let's go." ”

Li Ran turned around, followed behind Xie Ze, and entered the small restaurant near the lake last time.
