Chapter 205 This is promised?

Aunt Qing went for half a day. After coming back, he went into the upper room, and I didn't know what to say to Huo Yi. Chunying made an appointment with Shi'er to go to them as little as possible, so she didn't inquire, but just looked at their looks afterwards and guessed that things were probably going well. It seems that the old lady already knows about the marriage contract of the Huo Gu family, and she has no intention of objecting.

Dong'er left, and the people in the small courtyard were a little commotion, but it quickly subsided, but it was only occasionally idle that someone said a few words about her. Huo Yi and Aunt Qing didn't know what the reason was, so they didn't transfer another girl from the Huo family, but called Chunying and Shi'er to the upper room to wait. In terms of seniority and prestige, the two of them also deserve it, and the monthly income has not changed, so no one has any opinions.

Chunying was a little wary at first, but after getting along, she found that Huo Yi and Aunt Qing were not dissatisfied because of their unkind attitude that day, and they were more cordial than before, and the rewards were more generous, only Ju'er and Shi'er occasionally had some quarrels, but they were quite polite to themselves. Occasionally, I will help tie a flower, hand a bowl or something. Chunying secretly thought in her heart, thinking that this Huo family probably knew what was wrong, although she was not very respectful, but she really saved them once, plus she and Shi'er knew the details, they shouldn't have any bad intentions, but they just had a little bit of a sense of bribery, right? He simply let go of sixty percent of his defense, did what he should do, and did not shirk what he should receive. However, she still warned herself again and again, and at the same time reminded Shi'er not to get too close to the Huo family's master and servants, and their secret plan should be avoided a little, so as not to get into any trouble again.

Seeing that it was almost sixteen, Huo Yi got up early in the morning, carefully groomed, changed into a dress, and dressed up formally, so he sat in front of the hall with a little nervousness and waited for the palace to come, and he didn't even have the heart to eat breakfast.

Usually when it came to the day of entering the palace, Huo Yi had never been so nervous, Chunying was not sure what she was going to do with this posture, so she made some Jianlian red date soup in the small kitchen, accompanied by a small plate of Beijing cake and honey yam, and sent it into the upper room. Huo Yi absentmindedly ate two chopsticks, took a sip of soup, and was stunned.

It didn't take long. Aunt Qing came over, she wore a royal blue arabesque pattern brocade jacket and navy blue pleated skirt today, which was rare to dress up seriously, but she did not transgress her identity. She sat down next to Huo Yi, looked at the latter's face carefully, and then smiled: "Miss don't be afraid, there is still me today, eat more, and I will have strength later." Huo Yi smiled reluctantly and took a few more sips of soup.

Chunying silently wiped Duobaoge and walked out, and after a while, Shi'er also followed, and she asked Shi'er in a low voice: "What do you say is wrong today?" Miss Cousin has to enter the palace every two or three months, and she has long been used to it, but looking at her and Aunt Qing today, it seems that something big is going to happen? ”

Shi'er shook her head: "I also feel strange, I am impatient to ask Ju'er, why don't you inquire?" ”

Chun Ying thought about it and shook her head: "I said I didn't care about them a long time ago." Forget it. After a pause, he covered his mouth and snickered: "What big deal can be on the day when you enter the palace to ask for peace?" Could it be that she asked the queen to give her a marriage? She only thought it was a joke, and how did she know that she was a blind cat that had bumped into a dead mouse.

Just after the hour (seven o'clock to nine o'clock), the palace envoy entered the palace gate, but never came to the small courtyard, and after a while, the news came, saying that the palace envoy had returned. Huo Yi was stunned when she heard the news, and Aunt Qing stood up even more out of shape: "What's going on?!" ”

It was the begonias beside An's side who came to report, and she bowed and said: "It turned out that someone from the palace said that the queen mother was a little unwell this morning, thinking that it was inconvenient to see the young lady, so she sent someone to say it, and also rewarded the old lady, Mrs. and Miss Biao with fresh pastries." The wife specially ordered the slave maid to tell Miss Biao that Miss Cousin would not have to enter the palace today. ”

Aunt Qing was secretly anxious, but Huo Yi was calm and nodded slightly: "I know, the girl will go this way." Then he glanced at Chunying. Chunying hurriedly took the dim sum plate in Haitang's hand, and Ju'er handed over a purse. Begonia smiled and thanked the reward and retreated respectfully.

Huo Yi glanced at the dim sum with Chunying's hand, then got up and went back to the room, leaving Aunt Qing in a hurry.

I don't know if it matters if the queen wants it? Hopefully she'll get better soon. If they delay today, they may not be able to make a request until next month, I wonder if they will have long nights and dreams?

Compared with Aunt Qing's worry that Huo Yi's marriage plan would be postponed, Huo Yi herself had to think more. The queen has always been in good health, why did she suddenly get sick? Or is it at this juncture? Fan Xiru and other eunuchs and daughters originally gathered in Beijing for the draft, but when they arrived in Beijing, the imperial court did not issue a conscription order for a long time. When chatting with the old lady yesterday, I heard Fan Xiru mention that he had received a summons from the imperial court and was going to enter the palace in ten days. Now half of the Huo family's dignity is supported by the emperor and queen, and I just hope that the two of them will not quarrel.

But if ...... Is the queen really sick? Huo Yi suddenly felt uneasy, in case the queen had a good ...... Among the ladies who should be selected, there are many dignified and elegant people from everyone's background...... Jingzhong is afraid that there will be another turmoil, and the Huo family, the Li family, and the Gu family are all in the officialdom, and they will inevitably be affected......

Huo Yi racked her brains to guess all possible situations and how to deal with them, until Chun Ying came in and urged her to have lunch, and she woke up. Chunying saw that her face was as pale as paper, and her forehead was sweating slightly, so she frowned, and couldn't help but Ji Po: "Miss Cousin, if you are not feeling well, you have to be honest, don't get sick." He looked at her clothes disapprovingly: "Didn't Ju'er wait for you to change your clothes?" On a hot day, doesn't Miss Cousin feel hot? Huo Yi smiled reluctantly, casually called Ju'er, waited for him to change into a home-style shirt and skirt, and washed his face again, before taking Chunying and Shi'er to the old lady's courtyard to eat.

Eaten. The old lady took a group of juniors back to the flower hall, crooked on the bamboo couch, the lower body covered with a thin gauze quilt, and there were two small tables in front of her, one with a stove and bottle, and the other with tea and dried fresh fruit plates, and a girl ring behind her who was playing a fan unhappily. The old lady leaned back on the rattan pillow, holding a jade ruyi, and listened comfortably to the jokes of the younger generations, which was very useful in her heart.

But after watching it for a long time, she found that her granddaughter seemed to be a little absent-minded. His face was not very good, and he wondered in his heart. At this time, her daughter-in-law An came to ask for peace, and she felt a little disappointed: "Didn't you say that there are housework to deal with?" Have you eaten? ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law has eaten it." An Shi saluted, sat next to him, chatted with him, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Huo Yi, as if inadvertently: "I heard that someone outside sent a letter to my nephew's daughter, and the person on the second door was lazy, so he sent it in without asking and understanding, I was really shocked!" I've never heard of someone who doesn't know the details of the outside sending a private message to the inner house, Yi'er, don't be a bad guy, right? Your girl's face is tender, it's hard to refuse, just tell your aunt, and your aunt will be angry for you? ”

Huo Yi's face suddenly turned red, bit her lip, and then said lightly: "What my aunt said, Yi'er doesn't understand, when will someone who doesn't know the details send a letter to Yi'er?" ”

"I'm listening to your girl, what's wrong?" An Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, "Yes, I heard that girl has been kicked out by you, but what happened?" I think she's a faithful and courteous child. ”

Chunying's eyes widened, this can be regarded as a direct loss of Huo Yi's face, right? Why did my wife suddenly become angry? Two doors on the ...... Could it be that there is an omission? She stole a glance at Ju'er out of the corner of her eye.

Ju'er blushed, stepped forward and said, "Uncle Rongyu, Dong'er originally dropped a valuable piece of jewelry......

Before she could finish speaking, An Shi interrupted her: "I'm talking to your young lady, what are you talking about?!" Ju'er froze there suddenly.

Huo Yi's face was so red that he was about to drip blood, and Jing, Yijun, Xijun and Fan Xiru didn't dare to speak out when they saw the embarrassing scene. The old lady coughed unhappily, and was helped up by Yahuan, and said impatiently: "What's the big deal?!" It's just a letter from the Huo family! Although Yi'er and her aunt live in our house, they also have their own housework to ask, where are there any private messages of unknown origin?! ”

Although An Shi was not convinced, he could only reply respectfully: "Old lady." The daughter-in-law originally thought it was a letter from the Huo family, but she never suspected it, but she was just Yi'er's girl......"

"What thing that doesn't know whether it's alive or dead chews its tongue, and you believe it?! Yi'er calls you aunt, respecting you as an elder, but in the end you are still a relative! If you have time to take care of the housekeeping of your relatives' house, you might as well spend more time on taking care of your son's marriage! Now that the new house has been built, can the furniture and furnishings be purchased? Brother Chang lives alone in a small room in the outer study, and he can't sleep well on a hot day, it's really pitiful! You might as well clean up a wing room in the new yard earlier, and let him move back to live in it! ”

As if swallowing a fly, An Shi responded hard, but secretly glanced at Huo Yi with an unkind eye, and was looked at by Chunying, and couldn't help but shiver, and had some bad premonitions in his heart.

The old lady comforted Huo Yi a few more words, and then said, "Since there is one less person by your side, why don't you tell your grandmother?" I'm going to find someone to make it up. Then he pointed out a second-class girl named Nuan Yu to her.

Huo Yi thanked her grandmother and sat down again, although Fan Xiru and Yijun had fun and tried their best to restore the atmosphere to its original cheerfulness, but An Shi sat there with a straight face, and everyone couldn't relax. The old lady was very disappointed, and felt sleepy, so she simply let everyone disperse and go back to the house to take a nap.

Nuan Yu followed Huo Yi back to the small courtyard, Chun Ying looked at her coldly, and felt that she was a quiet and measured person, and her eyes were very positive, not the kind of person who would be careful, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, Nuan Yu is not too close to them, some of them are upright, when Mrs. An's girl comes to summon people, or ask questions, she is present to suppress her, and no one dares to go too far, which makes Chunying Shi'er and others feel relieved. Therefore, although Nuan Yu still has that cold appearance, everyone also likes to talk to her, and some people even laugh at her name, saying that she should not be called Nuan Yu, but should be called Leng Yu, she listened, and it was only faint, not annoyed.

Mrs.'s troubles seem to have come to an end, but Huo Yi still has a thorn in her heart, and Aunt Qing keeps thinking about whether there are any omissions, whether there is any physical evidence or traces left, Ju'er even went to the second gate to ask the Huo family's family about what Dong'er did after she went back. Chunying and Shi'er talked about it privately, and they were also a little worried, in case they called their wives to know the truth, the two of them could be regarded as accomplices, so it was better not to cause trouble.

A few days later, the second wife of the Huo family, Zhang, came to the door with her little heir, first talked for a while in front of the old lady, and when Huo Yi rushed over with Ju'er and Chunying, Zhang just stared at her with a smile, and saw that she was a little uneasy: "What do you think I do?" Zhang smiled again, but did not speak.

The old lady sighed secretly, put a smile on her face again, and said, "Someone came to your uncle to propose marriage, it is the Gu family that your mother used to propose, and that Master Gu still has a letter from your father before his death, asking your uncle to promise you to his son." Your uncle...... It's done. ”

Huo Yi was stunned and his eyes widened. Chunying was also stunned. The second old man...... That's it?!。.。
