013. The mystery of gifts
It's been so long, but I didn't expect this "gift" to really reappear!
Huo Yunqian's changed face fell in the eyes of the people around him, Huo Yungui hurriedly got up and rushed to the front, snatching the gift box from Huo Yunqian's hand like a great enemy, "What is this-"
When I looked closely, the gift box turned out to be a white jade statue of Guanyin.
Huo Yungui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but why would Ah Qian lose his temper with such a jade statue?
"Isn't this a send-off Guanyin?" The voice of the third wife, Lu Mengchun, came from the side, "Second sister-in-law, doesn't she want to wish her sister-in-law a good thing is coming?" ”
Mrs. Feng's brows tightened, and she also felt that something was wrong, and glanced at Duan Wenxin, whose face had changed, sternly, "Second daughter-in-law, where did you bring this 'gift'?" ”
Duan Wenxin was a little dumbfounded when she looked at this thing, she didn't expect Huo Yunqian to be so eager to open it on the spot.
And, this thing...... How could this be?
Hearing Mrs. Feng's question, Duan Wenxin was taken aback, so she had to bite the bullet and say, "Back to my mother's words, daughter-in-law...... I just asked my brother to pick a piece of jade and send it, and I didn't think about him...... It's all to blame for his own opinions, and his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law will talk about his ......"
Mrs. Feng thought about it, but still felt incredible, and her brows tightened.
She glanced at Huo Yunzhui before she said lightly: "Even if Ah Qian really wants to discuss marriage, now that San Lang is not at home, it is the old body and Ah Gui who should worry about it, and there is no need for the younger brother of the in-law to handle it." ”
Duan Wenxin responded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, it's all his ......"
Suddenly, Huo Yunqian's voice sounded: "This, is it really sent by the eldest brother of the Duan family?" ”
Madam Feng and Huo Yungui looked at each other and looked at Duan Wenxin without hesitation.
Duan Wenxin's heartbeat accelerated sharply, and at this time, Huo Yunqian turned his face and stared at her tightly, as if there was a flame bursting out of his eyes, burning Duan Wenxin's face as if it was about to burn.
She smiled reluctantly, "Look at what my sister-in-law said...... ...... of course."
Huo Yun stared at her for a moment and did not speak.
Huo Tang'er next to her also felt that something was wrong, gritted her teeth, moved over and gently pulled Duan Wenxin's sleeve, "Mother, this is really ......"
"Shut up!" Duan Wenxin scolded in a low voice.
Hearing this scolding, disappointment flashed in Huo Yun's shallow eyes.
She turned her head to take the statue of Guanyin in Huo Yunzhui's hand, pressed the head of the child she was holding in Guanyin's arms, and rotated the lotus platform under Guanyin with her other hand.
The white jade statue that was originally integrated was easily unscrewed, and a faint amber paste was lying inside.
"Little aunt, what is this?" Huo Rouer was the most curious, and had already come to Mrs. Feng's side.
Huo Yunqian held the half of the lotus platform, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Duan Wenxin, who was pale, "This is 'Baiyun incense', which is ordinary and unremarkable, but once this jade statue is enshrined, the sandalwood that is ordered on weekdays is mixed with it, and it produces ......."
She gritted her teeth, a layer of red appeared on her face, and hatefully closed the lotus platform and handed it back to Huo Yungui, "Second sister, I saw that Doctor Lu is also here today, why don't you ask her to come and check it!" ”
Although it was not specified, her expression spoke for itself.
Huo Yungui was also furious, turned his head and whispered to Pei Jin'er to take her cousins out first, and wait for them to go far before letting Doctor Lu come in.
After a while, a woman of the same age as Huo Yungui came in and saluted everyone.
Mrs. Feng said: "Manhua, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to be restrained, and look at what this thing is in Ah Gui's hand." ”
Lu Manhua looked at Huo Yungui suspiciously, didn't she come today to help catch the wicked person who poisoned Lie Yun?
Huo Yungui shook his head slightly, and handed over the half lotus platform in his hand, "You take a look at this first." ”
Lu Manhua spread his hand, took it and sniffed it gently, then reached out a little bit and put it in front of him to look at it carefully, his face gradually solemn.
"This is 'Baiyun Xiang', where did you get it?"
Mrs. Feng's face turned pale, and she glared at Duan Wenxin hatefully.
Huo Yungui couldn't believe it, and held his friend's wrist, "What's the use of it?" ”
Lu Manhua solemnly handed the lotus platform back, "As far as the incense itself is concerned, there is nothing special about it; But if it is enshrined with sandalwood, the combination of the two aromas will be a very strong aphrodisiac thing. ”
She coughed, "Legend has it that Feiyan of the Han Palace once used this incense to ask the gods for a child, in fact, it was this method to keep the emperor in the palace day and night, so that he could naturally get ......a child."
Speaking of this, Lu Manhua saw that everyone's faces were a little wrong, so he asked Huo Yungui with his eyes.
But now Huo Yungui couldn't take care of her, her fingers were tightly pinching the lotus platform, and her knuckles were even a little white.
After the strange silence, Mrs. Feng suddenly slapped the armrest of the seat hard, "What else do you have to say?" This is the good 'baby' sent by your Duan family? ”
Duan Wenxin "plopped" and knelt down, kowtowed a few times with tears streaming down her face, and said in a trembling voice: "Mother forgives her sins, this ...... It's true that this wasn't my brother's ......."
Mrs. Feng was so angry that she stomped her feet, "As a woman, you also know the importance of fame, why do you want to do this pickled thing to harm Ah Qian?" Who instructed you? ”
Duan Wenxin couldn't stop crying, but she still didn't dare to speak.
Huo Yungui was so angry that she trembled all over, and she couldn't wait to go up and slap this second sister-in-law.
"Does the second sister-in-law think that as long as you can do the prince a great favor, Tang'er will be able to marry into the Lei family smoothly?" Suddenly, Huo Yunqian, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
Duan Wenxin shuddered and raised her head in horror to look at Huo Yunqian.
She...... How will you know?
"The Lei family? What Lei family? Mrs. Feng said sharply.
But the other two words, she couldn't say.
It's the crown prince...... The prince went to such great lengths for Ah Qian?
Huo Yunqian turned his head, bowed to Mrs. Feng, and opened his lips lightly: "Cheng Lei Han in the imperial history is the dog who barks hardest in front of the East Palace. Let me guess ......"
Her voice became colder and colder, making Duan Wenxin, who was kneeling on the ground, shudder: "It must be that the eldest brother of the Duan family suddenly took over a business from the Lei family, and the son of the Lei family revealed to the eldest brother of the Duan family that he wanted to marry Tang'er, but if you want the second sister-in-law to agree to give away this jade statue first-but so?" ”
She will not forget that although this identical drama in her previous life started later, it completely changed her fate!
On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in his previous life, the second sister-in-law also sent the Guanyin jade statue under the pretext that his younger brother entered Beijing, and Huo Yunqian still happily accepted it despite being shy.
She devoutly enshrined this statue of Guanyin, and deliberately burned more incense, but at that time, her heart was full of thoughts about the unattainable person......
So, that night she took the incense.
Counting the time, the master of the East Palace took her unconscious out of the Guogong Mansion and sent her directly to the couch of the crown prince Xu Zhen.
When I woke up the next day, everything was done!
