Zhang Ting jumped down from the carriage, and after a while, he came out of nowhere, jumped into the carriage out of breath, and said to Huo Roufeng: "Ninth Master, there is a bamboo shop on the street of the lamp market, selling all bamboo gadgets, this shop was bought by the eldest lady last month, and there is only this bamboo shop on the whole street, the sixth in the east of the road." ”

Huo Roufeng snorted and stopped talking.

Just as Huo Roufeng guessed, the lanterns that were originally going to be sold at the Lantern Festival were all placed on the street of the Lantern Market at this time, in addition to the original shops on the street, there were also many more stalls, all of which were sold lanterns.

This kind of lantern seller does not have the fun of guessing lantern riddles and picking lanterns at the lantern fair. But there are still a lot of people shopping, most of them are parents with children, or families accompanying the little master.

Huo Roufeng originally just wanted to take a walk on this street, but when she saw the dazzling array of lanterns, she suddenly became interested, asked the carriage to stop at the door of the bamboo shop, and took someone to buy the lanterns herself.

After a few steps, she heard someone behind her shouting at her: "Huo Jiu, Huo Jiu!" ”

Huo Roufeng turned around and saw Huang Xianjun and Lu Yu holding a large sugar gourd with a ruler length in their hands, running towards her, and more than a dozen or twenty small guards were chasing after her.

"Why didn't you two call me when you two came out to play?" Huo Roufeng asked.

Huang Xianjun handed her the big sugar gourd in his hand: "I just bought it, I haven't eaten it yet, give it to you." ”

Huo Roufeng took it with a smile and took a bite.

Huang Xianjun said: "The general's wife came out of the palace today, saying that the queen mother was in a good mood, so she wanted to buy a few good lanterns, and send them to the palace tomorrow, I took this errand over, this dead beggar who eats and drinks will follow, and we will come." ”

The general's wife in Huang Xianjun's mouth is his cousin's aunt, the wife of Shen Jiguang, the general of Zhenguo, the emperor agreed to cancel the lantern festival this year, and the palace is less lively in previous years, and the clans are all cautious, if it is not for the good mood of the queen mother, the wife of the general of Zhenguo will not dare to send lanterns to the palace rashly.

"So that's the case......" Huo Roufeng gnawed on the rock sugar gourd, and said vaguely, but muttered in her heart, in the first month, the female family of the clan went to the palace diligently, and it was normal for the wife of the general of Zhenguo to enter the palace, and the queen mother also saw Huo Sijin today, could it be that she was in a better mood after seeing Huo Sijin?

"Is there a Ding in the harem?" Huo Roufeng asked.

Huang Xianjun touched his head and said, "Tian Ding? I haven't heard of that. ”

Something that the Huang family has not heard of, that is, it has not happened yet.

"It's not Tian Ding hugging his grandson, what else can make the Queen Mother happy, could it be that the Son of Heaven is going to be a beauty pageant again?" Huo Roufeng asked with wide eyes.

"Beauty pageant? The Son of Heaven wants to ......" Huang Xianjun suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "The Son of Heaven said that he wanted to become a monk all day long, even if he wanted a beauty pageant, he couldn't make a big splash, and if the Bodhisattva knew about it, he would say that he was not sincere." ”

"Hahaha", Huo Roufeng laughed, the street was noisy, and her laughter didn't attract attention, "Then how good it would be for him to take a leave of absence from the queen and the concubines, so that he would have sincerity." ”

Lu Yu on the side frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly said to the two: "You two don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears." ”

Huang Xianjun immediately pointed at his nose and scolded: "My wall is you, then it must be you who inform." ”

When Lu Yu heard this, he clenched his fists, and Huo Roufeng hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business, Huang Datou, it's a good Shangyuan Festival, the palace is lifeless outside the palace, can the Queen Mother still be happy?" ”

Huang Xianjun lowered his voice again and said: "My eldest cousin also asked like this, the general's wife said that the queen mother met Miss Huo today, which is Huo Jiang's daughter-in-law, Huo Qingzhou's sister-in-law, maybe it was Miss Huo who was right about the queen mother's thoughts, and the general's wife heard that the queen mother wanted to marry Miss Huo." ”

"Marriage?" Huo Roufeng was taken aback, this is good, she originally wanted to inquire near Huaishu Hutong, but she didn't expect to know when she walked to Dengshi Street, such news, let alone Huaishu Hutong, even if she arrived at Huo's house, she might not be able to inquire, Huang Datou is really a baby.

"Yes, it's a marriage, I heard the general's wife say that the Queen Mother hasn't given a marriage to anyone for many years, and this time it's because last year was not peaceful, so I want to be an iceman." Huang Xianjun said.

Huo Sijin is the daughter of a second-class member, and the queen mother can't say that she will give marriage, this family affair is to first obtain the approval of the elders of both sides, saying that it is a marriage, but in fact it is a matchmaker. When the two families all agreed, and then the queen mother gave the marriage, and when they got married, they gave the blessing of Lushou Sankuixing to the first dowry, and the two families were all decent.

Although Huo Jiang is a second-class member and has the title of champion, the Huo family has fallen more than 100 years ago, and it has only prospered again in the last 20 years, but the family is thin, and the descendants are only now in the east and west of Huaishu Hutong.

Moreover, Huo Sijin is still the daughter of a lost mother, and she has been in the nunnery for many years, and the capital is full of people, so you can know at a glance that Huo Sijin is not favored in her mother's family, and Huo Jiang now has no real power, Huo Sijin can marry the same official family at most with the reputation she has accumulated in the capital, and it is unlikely that she wants to marry into a real famous family as the eldest daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law is going to be the head of the house in the future, like Huo Sijin, who has no biological mother to teach, grew up in the nunnery since childhood, and does not know how to be in charge of housekeeping, does not meet the standards of the big family for the eldest son, and is not considered.

In other words, Huo Sijin's family affairs are not high or low.

However, if the Queen Mother came forward to act as a matchmaker for her, the situation would be different.

Huo Roufeng asked, "Which family is the man, the clan?" ”

If Huo Sijin marries the clan, it is also suitable, Huo Jiang has a high position but no power, and he is a family member, only decent but not dependent, which is also the most common way for those clans who are far away from the throne to marry.

Huang Xianjun shook his head: "I didn't hear the general's wife talk about this, and she didn't know it, otherwise she would definitely say it to her eldest cousin, but according to my guess, maybe it is Lord Qing." ”

"King Qing?" Huo Roufeng's eyes widened, "There are five or six concubines in King Qing's mansion, if Huo Sijin marries him, won't he have to face a bunch of troubles as soon as he enters the door?" ”

Speaking of this, a shadow flashed in Huo Roufeng's mind, Xie Sicheng.

She will never forget that spring day, on the winding stone steps, a young man walked out of the bamboo forest, looked at the sedan chair that was gradually moving away, and sadly blew a song of "poppy beauty".
