Lee heard that his heir and his biological mother were coming. reluctantly got up and changed his clothes, and went outside with the support of Aunt Qing to accept the heir's gift.

The child was only seven or eight years old, thin and small, with a pair of eyes that were very large, wearing a plain cloth robe, standing under the hall, seeing that there were many people in the house, he glanced at the biological mother next to him timidly, and only then under the signal of her eyes, he carefully took two steps forward, and bowed respectfully to the Li family: "Meet my mother." ”

Mrs. Huo's Zhang, who was originally from a scholarly family, had a dignified appearance, and bowed slightly when she heard this, so she sat down on the chair placed by the maids and said, "My sister-in-law and niece came to Beijing, and they should have brought Rong'er to greet them as soon as possible. ”

Li hurriedly asked Zhang: "Uncle is sick?" It doesn't matter, right? ”

Huo Yi said: "Auntie should have brought us a letter a long time ago, my mother and I went to visit early, and now it has been many days before we can meet, people who don't know still think that there is something wrong between us, but let others gossip about uncles and aunts." In fact, we are a family, and we shouldn't have seen each other. ”

"Oh?" Li smiled and looked down at the child, and when he saw that he was a little cowering, he comforted, "Don't be afraid, tell me, what books have you read?" Who taught you? ”

Zhang's eyes were a little red, and he said to Li: "It's a joke for my sister-in-law, this kid ...... Rong'er's qualifications are worse than his brother's, and his initiation is also late, and it often takes two or three days to learn a word to memorize......"

When Zhang heard this, his expression relaxed, while Li looked at his heir a few more times, and slowly felt that this child was not bad.

Zhang smiled slightly, and returned the salute as a compliment.

Li Shi was a little surprised, and quickly glanced at Zhang's family: "This ...... Brother Rong is still young...... Leaving her biological parents, I'm afraid of ......" Huo Yi categorically interrupted her: "Mother! Brother Rong is already your son, you can't let him live in your uncle and aunt's house all the time! After a pause, she slowed her tone. Turning his head to Zhang, he smiled and said, "It's just that my mother is not good, I want to serve my mother again, my younger brother is young and has no one to take care of me, so I have to ask my aunt for more help." ”

Next, Li asked Brother Rong a few more questions, and saw that although he was cowardly and his reaction was not very clever, he was quite kind and well-behaved, and he also knew the etiquette, and he was quite satisfied, as if he was relieved, and fatigue instantly came up. Huo Yi and the Zhang family both noticed the change in her, so the latter took the child to say goodbye first, and made an appointment to send Brother Rong to the Huo family's old house in three days.

An Shi had been sitting on the side, silently watching the actions of the Huo family's mother and daughter. I didn't know what was going on in my mind, so I quickly found an excuse to leave. As soon as she left with her front foot, Aunt Qing immediately ordered someone to close the courtyard door and helped Li to go back to the room to rest.

Huo Yi flattened his mouth aggrievedly and said, "Mother, you don't know, my aunt is too much!" When I went to my uncle's house today, I learned that my aunt had delivered a post the day after we came to Beijing, and it was someone here who said that my mother was sick. I couldn't see the guests, so I stopped them back. I asked my eldest cousin privately, and he said that he didn't know about it, but the female guest outside handed the post into the house, and it was always my aunt who passed the purpose. This matter must have nothing to do with my aunt! ”

Huo Yi's eyes turned red, and he bowed down: "My daughter knows." ”

Huo Yi sneered slightly: "Mother is confused, she often says how virtuous her aunt was in the past, and she thinks that this one is also virtuous now, where do you know the dangers?" The younger brother was ordered by the emperor to become the heir, and he didn't come to see him for a long time, and the imperial history of the court may be included in the previous book, saying that the younger brother was not filial and that the uncle disobeyed the emperor's order. In addition, we have not been able to see our uncle and brother, and some people say that we are dissatisfied with the emperor's order, and we are unwilling to let the family property go by, and want to keep it alone. Either way, it can make us suffer a big loss. In the event that our mother and daughter have a bad relationship with our uncle's family and become estranged from our younger brother, who will benefit? ”

Huo Yi didn't want to continue the topic: "Let's see what she will do in the future." That's right. Didn't my uncle's medicine use high-grade cordyceps as a medicine guide? I had to eat it for three months in a row. I saw that his family was a little poor, but I was afraid that he might not be able to afford it. I remember that last time, the housekeeper bought several boxes of good Cordyceps produced in Yunnan, and my mother couldn't use them up, so why don't you give them a portion? Thinking of the second uncle's stubborn temper, he added: "If the second uncle refuses, he will say that it is for his younger brother to make up for his body." Auntie is not a dead-eyed person, she will know what to do. ”

Chunying cautiously walked into the main house, found Jinxiu, and said, "Sister, the tortoiseshell sister in the old lady's house is here, saying that she has something to find Miss Watch." ”

Chunying had to come in the direction she pointed, but from a distance she saw Huo Yi leaning against the window, facing a large cluster of rose leaves, turning her back to herself, and getting closer, only to find that the other party's body trembled slightly. Chun Ying stopped hesitantly and called carefully: "Miss Cousin? ”

Chunying couldn't help but wonder in her heart: Why is Miss Cousin crying? Did anyone bully her? Today, the heir came to say goodbye, I heard that he had to go back to the Huo family to live, and the heir's mother seems to be a good person, what else is not going well? Could it be because of Qingming today, she remembered her father?

"Invite her in, you go pour tea." Huo Yi straightened her waist and walked out, and when she passed Chunying, she saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, so she asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Miss Cousin......" Chunying hesitated a little, "The deceased is gone, don't think too much...... People always have to look forward, and the living are more important, aren't they? ”

Huo Yi blinked and smiled dumbly: "You girl, what are you talking about?" ”

How can this be called stupidity? She had often heard others comfort the families of the deceased in this way. Chunying was a little unconvinced, and muttered, "I also said it when I saw you so sad......"

Huo Yi's eyes softened: "It's really a stupid girl." She turned and beckoned to the tortoiseshell. Chunying pursed her lips and ran to the tea room to make tea.

When she was busy working in the tea room, Jinxiu and Linglong passed by the door, discussing which family to choose as a companion for Brother Rong. Chun Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and put down the teapot with a bang.

When I saw Zhou Nian today, the clothes he was wearing were not the clothes of the Hou Mansion's companion Xiaoyu?! Has he become a servant of the Hou Mansion?!
