Section 178 Chapter 178 Xiaoyou General's Mansion

Chaoxia finished talking about her thoughts, and slowly fell asleep with a smile on the corner of her mouth. On the other hand, Lu Xiang'er was in the dark, her eyes wide open, without a trace of sleepiness. Now, her mind is full of one sentence, how can this be good.

Before, Lu Xiang'er had a trace of luck in her heart. Chaoxia has not yet been tempted by Zhao Chengmin, and things have not reached the worst step. Unexpectedly, Li Wenhao should have heard that His Majesty the Emperor knew about Chaoxia, so he would stop Chaoxia on the road and ask her for marriage. As a result, Li Wenhao was not only rejected by Chaoxia, but also made Chaoxia understand his heart.

A temperament like Chaoxia, as long as he is moved, I'm afraid there will be no change. However, she won't take the initiative to fight for anything, because Chaoxia is a proud person. In case Zhao Chengmin can't compete with Zhao Changyuan and marries another little lady, Chaoxia may not marry again in this life.

Thinking of the fate that may happen to Chaoxia in the future, how can Lu Xiang'er sleep. But until dawn, Lu Xianger didn't think of any way to solve the identity problem between Zhao Chengmin and Chaoxia. In the end, hearing the rooster crowing nearby, Lu Xianger thought that she might be concerned and should discuss it with someone.

After breakfast, Lu Hong stayed at home, and Chaoxia went to the winery. Lu Xiang'er asked Xiao Wu to set up a carriage and sent her to the general's mansion. Originally, Lu Xiang'er wanted to discuss with Huo Qingsong. The only person she could think of was Huo Qingsong. Because Lu Xiang'er didn't want to make Lu Erniang anxious because of this incident.

But when he arrived at the General's Mansion, Lu Xiang'er remembered that Huo Qingsong was not a person who did nothing all day, and he went to Yulinwei again. And Huo Qingqing was not there, she and Wen Yao were invited into the palace by Concubine Song, and I don't know if something will happen again. Lu Xiang'er, who wanted to leave, was dragged by the nurse to stay.

"The little lady finally came here, but she can't go back so soon." The nurse Zheng is now completely regarded as Lu Xiang'er is the mistress of the General's Mansion, and she insists on pulling her around the mansion. Moreover, he also told everyone in the house to Lu Xiang'er. At the same time, the nurse also sent someone to tell Huo Qingsong that he would come back soon if he had nothing to do.

Lu Xiang'er saw that the nurse seemed to be going to tell her everything in the house at this time, which was funny and a little sighing at the same time. Thinking of her as a common person, she used to just think about making a lot of money and living a prosperous and leisurely life. But when she met Huo Qingsong, but she had to take care of one of his mansions, Lu Xiang'er immediately remembered the sentence 'The plan does not change quickly'.

Speaking of the General's Mansion, although it is said that the population is small, it also refers to the small number of masters. As for the housekeepers and maids, there are not a lot of them. Lu Xianger and the nurse briefly walked around the house, and generally saw the affairs of the house. I have to say that the General's Mansion is still very good managed by the nurse. It can be said that it is just right to employ people, and the number of people is not too much, not too much.

The nurse Zheng temporarily presides over all the affairs of the inner house in the general's mansion, and the affairs of the outer courtyard are managed by the chief steward Huo Gui. Huo Gui's father volunteered to stay in the mansion as the old general's subordinate because of General Huo Jing's great kindness to his family. And although Huo Jing couldn't refuse, he also left words. As long as there are a few Huo Gui brothers, if any one is unwilling to stay, they can leave the General's Mansion at any time. In the end, only Huo Gui stayed, and he also let his son Huo Bao be Huo Qingsong's 'follower'.

When Lu Xiang'er came to the mansion, it was a coincidence that the chief steward Huo Gui hadn't gone out yet, so he happened to meet him and said a few words. Although Huo Gui was not in front of Lu Xiang'er, he didn't say much. From his demeanor and demeanor, Lu Xiang'er could see Huo Gui's admiration and respect for General Huo, as well as his loyalty to the General's Mansion.

In addition to Huo Gui, the chief steward of the general's mansion, there is also a second steward who is in charge of the outside fields and Zhuangzi, that is, the second steward of Ding Shunding, the only son of the nurse Zheng. The nurse and Ding Shun's mother and son, who had no other relatives, also volunteered to stay after being rescued by Mrs. Huo. As for the nurse who took care of Huo Qingsong and Huo Qingqing with her heart, General Huo didn't let Ding Shun enter the general's mansion to become a subordinate, but just let him manage the fields and Zhuangzi outside.

As for the other stewards, they are not too important people, and the nurse does not introduce too much. However, after finishing talking about the outer courtyard, the nurse called out the two powerful girls in the back house to meet Lu Xiang'er. These two people were once the maid rings around Huo Qingqing, and they were also the only two first-class maid rings in the house, Hongxia and Green Willow.

Before the two came, the nurse told Lu Xiang'er that Hongxia and Luliu were not young and were about to reach the age of Xu Ren. However, both of them said that they wanted to marry someone in the house and did not want to marry into another family. Therefore, after the two get married, they will still stay in the house as housekeepers. With these two people, it is much easier for Lu Xianger to take care of the affairs of the house.

Lu Xiang'er listened to what the nurse said in such detail, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Nurse, depending on what you mean, it seems that after I become 'Mrs. Huo', you will have to care about anything?" ”

"The little lady guessed right." The nurse smiled slightly, nodded and said, "I'm also old, and I always think about my life in the farm when I was young. It just so happened that the general also rewarded Ding Shun with a Zhuangzi, and I wanted to go to that Zhuangzi to retire. ”

"Nurse, you're roasting me on the fire." As soon as Lu Xiang'er heard that the nurse was leaving the general's mansion, she immediately smiled bitterly: "The matter between me and the general is that I have climbed high, and no one outside knows what to say about me." I really don't know how to get out of your way......"

"What are you afraid of, you are the master of the General's Mansion, and you don't care what others do." Before Lu Xiang'er finished speaking, Huo Qingsong strode into the hall.

Lu Xiang'er didn't expect Huo Qingsong to come back so soon, and she also heard her chatting with the nurse. Feeling that her heart was discovered by Huo Qingsong, Lu Xiang'er immediately said with some shame: "I didn't expect General Huo to have a penchant for eavesdropping on other people's conversations. ”

"How do you call eavesdropping, do I have to knock on the door when I go back to my house." Huo Qingsong raised the corners of his eyes, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't mean to take care of his own losses at all.

Although Lu Xianger has made a marriage with the person in front of her, it does not mean that her temper will change. Glancing at Huo Qingsong fiercely, Lu Xiang'er blessed the nurse and said softly: "Nurse, Xiang'er has to go back to accompany her brother to dinner, so she will be dismissed first." ”

After speaking, Lu Xiang'er turned around and walked out. But before Lu Xiang'er could take a few steps, it was dark in front of her, and Huo Qingsong blocked her way. Raising her head and looking at Huo Qingsong's statue face, a nameless fire immediately rose in Lu Xiang'er's heart, and she said angrily: "Do you want General Huo's consent when I go home?" ”

"I'm just talking casually, sit down." Huo Qingsong coughed, his tone a little soft. Seeing the nurse behind Lu Xiang'er and leaving with a strange smile, Huo Qingsong immediately felt a little hot on his face. But looking at Lu Xiang'er who was close at hand, Huo Qingsong suddenly smelled the fragrance that seemed to be absent on Lu Xiang'er's body, and his heart was a little hot.

Forcibly resisting the urge to hold Lu Xiang'er in his arms, Huo Qingsong reached out and grabbed Lu Xiang'er's hand. But without waiting for him to speak, Lu Xiang'er first turned red, stepped back, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing, let it go quickly." ”

"Xiang'er, the nurse has left, and no one will laugh at you." Huo Qingsong held the weak little hand that he had been thinking about for a long time, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

Lu Xiang'er was really angry and annoyed when she heard Huo Qingsong's very ambiguous words. In order to confirm whether what Huo Qingsong said was true, Lu Xiang'er, who did not break free of her hand, immediately glanced back. Seeing that the nurse had really left, Lu Xiang'er was relieved. And when she turned her head, seeing the smile in Huo Qingsong's eyes, Lu Xiang'er couldn't hold back any longer, raised her foot and kicked Huo Qingsong's calf.

As a result, Lu Xiang'er let out a low cry, and almost shed tears in pain. Huo Qingsong didn't expect Lu Xiang'er to work so hard, and when he saw her look, his heart hurt slightly. Thinking of this, the resolute General Huo picked up Lu Xiang'er and put her on the chair next to him.

"Huo Qingsong, you ......" Lu Xiang'er didn't expect Huo Qingsong, who had a cold appearance and a serious personality, to do such a rude thing. Although Lu Xiang'er was still a little happy in her heart, she still wanted to talk about Huo Qingsong, so as to save him from doing more and more excessive things before getting married.

However, when Lu Xiang'er spoke, Huo Qingsong had already strode out of the hall. When Huo Qingsong came back again, he was holding a small porcelain vase in his hand. Lu Xiang'er didn't need to look at it, she only knew that it was a medicine for external injuries when she smelled it. Thinking of Huo Qingsong's carefulness, Lu Xiang'er did not continue.

It can be seen that Huo Qingsong squatted down, as if he wanted to give medicine to Lu Xiang'er, Lu Xiang'er hurriedly retracted his feet and said hurriedly: "Huo Qingsong, do you know the difference between men and women." ”

"Oh, too, then I'll call Hongxia and Luliu." Huo Qingsong was reminded by Lu Xiang'er before he stood up reluctantly, and Lu Xiang'er almost wanted to kick him again.

Hearing that Lu Xiang'er was slightly injured, the nurse also followed behind Hongxia and Luliu. However, when the three of them saw Lu Xiang'er frowning and walking forward with difficulty, they immediately rushed forward to help Lu Xiang'er go to the inner hall. When the three of them saw the redness and swelling on Lu Xiang'er's feet, a strange look appeared on their faces.

The nurse, Hongxia and Luliu were all a little puzzled, Huo Qingsong came back for half an hour, how could Lu Xiang'er be injured. If you want to say that Huo Qingsong will make a move on Lu Xiang'er, the nurse will not believe it if she is the first. But Lu Xiang'er did suffer a foot injury, and I don't know if something happened between the two.

Seeing the two maids rubbing Lu Xiang'er's feet, the nurse quietly exited the room and asked Huo Qingsong. Huo Qingsong didn't want to say that Lu Xiang'er wanted to kick him before he injured his foot, this matter is not what a 'good wife' should do for a nurse. Therefore, Huo Qingsong simply told the nurse that Lu Xiang'er accidentally bumped into the corner of the table while walking. Although the nurse was a little skeptical, she couldn't find any other reason, so she had to stop there and go to the kitchen to arrange lunch.

This outstanding incident made Lu Xiang'er have to stay in the general's mansion to eat. Huo Qingsong didn't say anything, but everyone in his house could see the smile in Huo Qingsong's eyes. Lu Xiang'er thought that Huo Qingsong was very cunning, and thought that when she came to the General's Mansion alone, she was 'sending herself to the door' for him to bully.
