"Girl?" Aunt Lan saw her staring at the portrait and was fascinated, and asked softly.

"Huh." Huo Shui'er handed her the portrait, "Auntie, how about looking at this child?" ”

"This is ......" Aunt Lan stared at the dense words, "the son of the third old lady's room." ”

"Yes." Huo Shui'er took a sip of herbal tea and moistened her throat.

"It's just that this kid's life is miserable." Aunt Lan confirmed that she had to read the following lines, and she was quite regretful, "My parents went early and have been sending people under the fence, so I guess life is sad." ”

"Huo Yan......" Huo Shui'er scratched the name with her finger, "I think there is fate, my name has water in it, and this child actually has fire." ”

"What does the girl think?"

"What does Auntie think?" Huo Shui'er looked at her with a smile.

"As long as it's a good-tempered, well-behaved child, it's fine." Aunt Lan thought about it, she didn't have any special requirements, she didn't want this child to soar, she just hoped that he could be more peaceful, not perverse or violent.

Huo Shui'er thought of the eyes that were so persistent on the portrait, that child was probably not a well-behaved and obedient character.

But she always felt that the child in the dark had a fate with her, and when she thought of having such a brother, she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.

"It's nice to look at this kid." Huo Shui'er rolled up the portrait and handed it to the bell, who obediently took it.

"I don't know what my father's opinion is?"

Huo Shui'er probed Aunt Lan's tone.

After all, that kid is going to be Huo Gang's son, and Huo Shui'er thinks that he doesn't have a lot of rights. I still have to nod my head to school

"Come to Xu is the father and daughter of the master and the girl." Aunt Lan covered her lips and smiled, "The master specially talked to me that day, although this child has a bad family background, he is very hardworking, he has never gone to a serious school, but his knowledge is very good." ”

"In this way, my father is also satisfied with this Huo Yan?"

"Although the master doesn't know, I think I am very satisfied with this child's knowledge."

Aunt Lan was also quite meaningful, "After all, he is an orphan, the third old lady will definitely not ask a famous teacher to teach him personally, this child is rain or shine every day, and secretly goes to the clan school to listen to the class, but he learns better than those brothers who take classes seriously." ”

She blinked smartly, "Otherwise, when have you ever seen your father praise a generation for hard work and perseverance?" ”

Aunt Lan is so exquisite, at that time, Huo Gang mentioned it casually, she immediately understood the meaning of the other party's seven or eight points, and now she took something to probe Huo Shui'er's tone, and their father and daughter really wanted to go together.

If it weren't for Aunt Lan knowing that Huo Shui'er hadn't seen this, she would have thought they had discussed.

"It seems that this Huo Yan really has some real skills, but he is a little older, I'm afraid he is not close enough to his aunt." Huo Shui'er had a little regret in her tone, and she also had two or three points of sincerity to consider for Aunt Lan.

Huo Yan is already twelve years old, and he has long remembered things, and his personality is basically fixed.

Aunt Lan has no children, if she wants to pass on, choose the best age, don't remember, and be able to raise her closer, so that she can have a practical support in the future.

Aunt Lan waved her hand very freely, "This heart is also made of flesh and blood, as long as I am good to him, am I afraid that he will not feel it?" ”

Rao Xin, even if it's ice, most of it is not solid, as long as you cover it with your heart, it can still be hot.

In Aunt Lan's opinion, that layer of ice is like a protective shell.

"Auntie is open-minded and generous." Huo Shui'er rarely has Aunt Lan as transparent, and the future generations are far more open than now, and there are many people who can't pass the children's pass.

What's more, in this era, in addition to the law of "there are three unfilial ones, and no queen is great", there are many rules and regulations bound by etiquette and law, and many people take great pains to seek children, even if they are adopted, there are always pimples in their hearts.

Aunt Lan is not an ordinary person. Huo Shui'er had never heard Aunt Lan ask for medicine in order to ask for a child. This will make the son not mind Huo Yan, who is a little older.

The girl smiled. Aunt Lan seemed to be very touched, "These days, if you can't see it, it's one, and you can see it." ”

Optimistic people, the law is mostly the same.

When Aunt Lan came here, she recalled her old days.

"The concubine body never seems to have had a concubine family affair with the girl?"

"I only know that Aunt Lan's mother's family was also a cultivator and heirloom, and I don't know how many of them." Huo Shui'er thought about it for a while, and there was indeed no extra information in her memory.

The two had little intersection in the past, and the original owner would not deliberately inquire about the life experience of an ordinary aunt.

"The concubine's father used to be an ordinary talent, he was high-spirited, and he didn't want to sell calligraphy and paintings for money easily. Thanks to a few points of thin fields and his mother's needlework, the family was supported. ”

Aunt Lan still can't forget that her mother's body is broken, and she still has to insist on making embroidery.

The family had a very hard time, and in the end it was really unsustainable, my father gritted his teeth, sold a lot of calligraphy and paintings to the merchants he looked down on in the past, and came back to save the family from saving his life.

"Later, I couldn't even afford to sell paintings for my sister. His mother was seriously ill, and his father, who was a concubine, died of depression soon after. Huo Shui'er handed Fang a soft handkerchief, and Aunt Lan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Originally, I didn't have much money, and after handling my parents' funeral, my brother and I had to beg on the street."

"After tossing and turning, fortunately, I met the master at that time, and it also gave us a way to live."

"My aunt is also a hard worker." Huo Shui'er's nose was sour, and she hurriedly drank tea to cover it up.

"It's not bitter." Aunt Lan burst into tears and smiled, "I'm comfortable now, and my concubine's younger brother has also been settled." If your parents know something, you should be at ease. ”

Aunt Lan once studied with her father, and she slowly felt that there was some truth in the book, which may not be real, but she also realized it in life.

The fruit of life tastes like bitter and slightly sour at first, and it is difficult to swallow. You can endure it a little sour, and then it will be sweet honey.

"No matter which child it is, it is always the concubine's body in this life and his fate."

Huo Shui'er agreed, "It's fate, otherwise there are so many children of the Huo family, how could he be born as an aunt's child?" ”

Aunt Lan thought about giving birth to some expectations, "Master, if it is decided, I will take the child to Beijing in the next few days." ”

"It's fast to walk by water, I still have to clean up a separate yard and come out, in the future, this is my Huo family's serious young master." Huo Shui'er tilted her head and thought about it, wondering which yard to row for Huo Yan.

Aunt Lan suggested that Huo Gang should put the child in the name of her late husband, she is just a lowly aunt, I am afraid that she will go out in the future and make others look down on this child.

The dignified future head of the family turned out to be the identity of a concubine.

Huo Gang had to refuse.

No one knew that on the night when he decided to succeed Huo Yan, Huo Gang sat in the study all night holding the spiritual seat of his deceased wife.

Oh, maybe the wind that blows open the window, a little bit or two.
