133. Fight for your little cousin
When he returned to the Guogong Mansion, Huo Yunqian was still thinking about the terrifying plan that Feng Wuxian had just mentioned.
Although the benefits are obviousβFeng Wuxian promised to give her the technology of decarburization and forging steel produced in northern Xinjiang as a token of appreciation, combined with the iron ore from Ningsu County, she can forge tough household utensils, which can be sold in stores.
But with this benefit, is it worth the risk she has to take?
Huo Yunqian rubbed his eyebrows, but after stepping into the house, he heard Chai Nianyue's voice: "Brother, you pestered me to come, and you are so half-hearted, it is better for you to go home!" β
Huo Yunqian couldn't help but be surprised.
Chai Nianyue is the second daughter of the Marquis of Jianning, and the Marquis of Jianning has only one son, who is Zhuo Yao's cousin Chai Jiahong.
Chai Jiahong is here, shouldn't Zhuo Yao come with him? That's embarrassing.
She immediately followed the sound and really saw Huo Rouer and the Chai brothers and sisters in the small garden.
After trimming, Huo Rouer's legs have recovered a lot now, and in addition to running, she also needs to be careful, walking is no longer a problem.
Huo Rouer proudly introduced Huo Yunqian to the Chai family brothers and sisters that he had set up a water sprinkler device at home, etc., but Huo Yunqian, even if he just watched from a distance, saw Chai Jiahong's face full of decadence and absent-mindedness.
Chai Nianyue finally couldn't help it, stopped and patted Chai Jiahong on the shoulder, "Brother! Why don't I send someone to send a message and let Cousin Wangxi take you away, who do you want to show like this? β
"Okay, okay, I'm not messing around." Chai Jiahong begged for mercy again and again.
Huo Rouer looked at Chai Nianyue's fierceness and laughed, "Fortunately, you are in my house now, if others see you so fierce, sooner or later you will not be able to get married." β
Chai Nianyue's willow eyebrows were upside down, "Anyway, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry at all!" Beware that you are too proud and fall all over again, and then you will be lame for the rest of your life, and you will not be able to get married! β
"I'm also young, and I'm not in a hurry at all."
The two girls were completely bickering, hearing that Chai Jiahong had another headache, and the whole person was even more depressed, so he found a stone bench to sit down and waved his hand at them, "Look at the two of you, I'll sit here to cool off." β
Chai Nianyue snorted, "It's long overdue!" Rou'er, let's leave him alone, let's go. β
"Okay." Huo Rouer didn't give Chai Jiahong any more looks, and walked away arm in arm with Chai Nianyue.
The stone bench is under the tree, and the sun is not shining, and the water spray device next to it is really cool.
Chai Jiahong looked ahead with blank eyes, and a gentle voice suddenly sounded beside him: "What is worth worrying about?" β
Chai Jiahong was in a trance and muttered, "Why is it cousin Mingqiu who went to ...... with his relatives?"
The gentle voice let out an "oh", "Don't you want her to kiss?" β
Chai Jiahong nodded subconsciously, suddenly woke up, turned his head to look around, and was facing Huo Yun's smiling face.
The young man's face suddenly turned red, he jumped up and stammered, "I...... No, I don't know, I ...... I didn't say anything just now! β
Huo Yunqian crossed his arms and looked at him with a smile, and he didn't break it down.
Princess Ping Chai is the eldest sister of the Marquis of Jianning, so Xu Mingqiu, the lord of Zhenyang County, is naturally a cousin who is only a few months older than Chai Jiahong - she almost forgot about this relationship.
She sat down on the stone bench, beckoned to Chai Jiahong, and motioned for him to come and sit down beside her.
Chai Jiahong squirmed for a while, but moved over and sat down, but sat at the other end of the stone bench.
Seeing his depressed appearance, Huo Yunqian remembered the scene where he followed Zhuo Yao to coax behind her as a follower, and couldn't help but sigh twice.
It seems that it was just a whim of this kid at that time, and what he really cared about in his heart must be his little cousin.
The two sat on the long stone bench together and did not speak, and after a while, Huo Yunqian said: "Marrying to Northern Xinjiang or marrying to the Tan family, which do you think is more suitable for the county lord of Zhenyang?" β
Chai Jiahong clasped his hands tangled in front of him and said in a low voice, "I don't know." Although the kid surnamed Tan is better than the surname Yang, that is, he is a nerd, where is he worthy of her. β
"Oh-" Huo Yunqian stretched his voice and looked at him meaningfully, "It should be good enough to marry Wu Liangha and be the mistress of Northern Xinjiang." β
She thought for a while, "Your little aunt was the first beauty in the capital back then, although I haven't seen the county lord of Zhenyang, but she must also be one of the best beauties."
"In this way, it is really cheap for the people of Northern Xinjiang. And the sky is high and the road is far away, and I don't know how much hardship I have to endure to reach Senari, the royal city of Dongli, alas...... What a great woman who sacrificed herself for the sake of the big picture. β
Chai Jiahong's eyes turned red instantly, and his tightly clenched fist suddenly smashed into the stone bench beside him, squeezing out a sentence from between his teeth: "Auntie has been crying for a few days...... But my uncle couldn't stop it, cousin her...... She still has to marry to the northern frontier! β
Huo Yun said shallowly: "What about the county lord's own wishes? β
"Who would want to!" Chai Jiahong roared, tears in his eyes, "But cousin...... She has now been taken to the palace to be taught the etiquette of the Naraush son, and at that time she will marry directly from the palace, and even her uncle and aunt are not allowed to see her! What else can we do? β
Huo Yunqian bowed slightly, she couldn't be clearer about Emperor Qingning's methods, even if King Ping was his younger brother, when it came to "sacrifice" for Dajing, he wouldn't care about any brotherhood at all.
Paying attention to Chai Jiahong's expression, Huo Yunqian thought about it, and suddenly put away his smile and looked at him, "What about yourself?" Would you like to see her marry someone else? β
"I-" Chai Jiahong looked up sharply, caught off guard by the question.
He...... Don't want your cousin to marry an outsider?
From the boy surnamed Yang, to the kid surnamed Tan, to the leader of the northern Xinjiang...... Obviously, none of them are worthy of their cousin!
But is he worthy of it?
Chai Jiahong bit his lip, his eyes suddenly became resolute, and he shook his head vigorously, "I don't want her to marry someone else!" β
Huo Yunqian looked at him with some appreciation, raised his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
It seems that no matter what era it is, it is young people who dare to express their feelings more.
Chai Jiahong was inexplicably courageous by this beat, glanced at Huo Yunqian gratefully, stood up and straightened his back, turned around and walked in the direction of the gate.
"What are you going to do?" Huo Yun said strangely.
Chai Jiahong didn't look back, "I want to accompany my uncle and aunt to see the emperor and rescue my cousin!" β
ββ¦β¦ Hold it! β
It was easy to drag Chai Jiahong back, and Huo Yun whispered a few words in his ear.
Chai Jiahong's eyes lit up, and then he felt doubtful, "Can it really be done?" β
Huo Yunqian nodded against his will, and advised: "So tell Prince Ping, don't act rashly, and wait until you get my letter before acting." β
Chai Jiahong nodded again and again and left happily.
Looking at his jubilant back, Huo Yunqian rubbed the corners of his forehead, it seems that she is still the only one who softens first.
