Chapter 696: Persuasion
"Guibo?" Zhan frowned.
The person Huo Roufeng thought of was the nagging Gui Bo in the Jingcheng Mansion.
She was only eleven years old that year, and she ran to the Guogong Mansion with a sincere heart to stick a knife in the ribs for her good brother, but Zhanhuai let Gui Bo stumble her, and he went to Guo Xu himself to vent his anger for her.
Gui Bo took Huo Roufeng to a small building in the Guogong Mansion, everything in that building, Gui Bo can tell the history, for the great achievements of the ancestors of the Zhan family, Gui Bo is like a treasure, so that Huo Roufeng listened to him tell a story for a day, and he forgot to show his heart.
"Ask Guiber, and maybe he'll know." Although Huo Roufeng is not sure, she has experience, and the Huo family's Chen sesame rotten grains, Huo Da Niang and she don't know, but the old servant of the family can speak with her eyebrows.
Gui Bo is in the capital, and it is not a trouble to ask him, so it is better to give it a try.
Zhanhuai immediately asked people to write a letter to Gui Bo.
Huo Roufeng's big cloth monkey was finally sewn, and to her surprise, this cloth monkey had only similarities with hers, but there were also dissimilarities.
The similarity is that the two monkeys are sewn with cloth, and the dissimilarity is that they do not look different at all.
But Ah Shang was very happy, holding the ugly and cute cloth monkey and gnawing wet.
Huo Roufeng remembered what Zhanhuai said to her that night, her heart was sour, she pinched her daughter's little nose: "Ah Shang, my mother is a monkey, after my mother leaves, let this monkey accompany you, and you will treat it as a mother." ”
After saying that, I felt that something was wrong, forget it, whatever, the monkey was sewn by her own hands, and she left the monkey to her daughter, so that her daughter would not remember what she looked like.
Well, it seems that something is still wrong.
Of course Huo Roufeng didn't know, she went out with her front feet, and the nurses put away the big cloth monkey with their back feet, Ah Shang immediately cried, and the nurse had to return the big cloth monkey to her, Ah Shang burst into tears, and the nurses trembled and watched Ah Shang fall asleep on the big cloth monkey, and quickly put the monkey away, after Ah Shang woke up, she cried as usual, so the nurse returned the big cloth monkey to her......
Since then, this big cloth monkey has become a dueling product between Ah Shang and the nurse.
Mrs. Zhong asked her to sew a few small clothes for Ah Sheng to wear for the New Year, whether it was clothes or swaddling clothes, all of them were red silk, and then put on a collar and bracelet with red gold and rubies, Huo Roufeng muttered quietly, and she was not afraid of letting people tie up the child.
Xie Honglin's ears were pointed, and when she heard it, she glanced at Huo Roufeng: "When you were young, you were in chaos, and I also dressed you like this, and I didn't see you kidnapped." ”
But no, she was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, like a wild child on the street, but she was tied up by Zhanhuai.
Huo Roufeng remembered that when she and her sister inquired about her life experience, Chu Qing said that when Master Huo brought her back, she was wearing a red silk dress, and her sister guessed that she was from a good background.
The more Mrs. Zhong looked at Ah Xiang, the happier she became, and after reading Ah Xiang, she praised Huo Roufeng: "The most capable person in our family is Xiao Jiu, and she gave birth to a beautiful granddaughter when she entered the door." ”
The maids and mothers-in-law on one side all couldn't hold back and didn't dare to laugh, if the mother-in-law in the world thought so, it would be much easier to be someone's daughter-in-law, just like the fifth lady, if she gave birth to several granddaughters in a row, Mrs. Zhong would be able to hold her up to the sky.
Huo Roufeng also felt that she was lucky that she didn't meet the evil mother-in-law in the book.
Taking advantage of Mrs. Zhong's good mood, Huo Roufeng quietly asked about Zhanyu.
"Mother, Xiao Zhan and I have discussed, and after we leave, we will invite the second brother to come to Xi'an to preside over the overall situation, and then the second brother will not have to be alone."
Huo Roufeng deliberately accentuated the four words loneliness.
Mrs. Zhong was fiddling with Ah Xiang's small shoes, which were inlaid with two plum blossoms each with pearls the size of rice grains, but the core of the flowers was made of red agate.
Huo Roufeng is very sympathetic to herself, the ninth master has been rich and noble since he was a child, but he has never worn shoes inlaid with plum blossoms, and the ninth master only put on a skirt when he is old.
Her thoughts also drifted far away, and she heard Mrs. Zhong say faintly: "He, even if he came to Xi'an, he still stays alone, unlike Ah Huai, who likes a large group of people everywhere, this is all a habit." ”
Zhanyu has been in Beijing alone for many years, and he is doing things like chazi, which also means that he will not be too close to anyone, at first it was because of the needs of things, and over time it became a habit.
Zhanhuai is the opposite of him, Zhanhuai grew up in the barracks, led the troops at the age of fifteen or sixteen, his childhood and youth were in the barracks, and the soldiers were together, such as brothers and sisters, he loves to be lively, likes to sing and dance, and Huo Roufeng is also a lively person, no one has to cater to anyone, two people are together, talking and laughing, playing and making trouble, even with the whole family.
Mrs. Zhong put Ah Xiang's shoes aside, obviously worried about Zhan Yue.
Huo Roufeng deliberately asked: "Mother, you can't take Jin Dou'er and Xiao Liang with you when you go to war, or if you don't wait for the second brother to come, let Jin Dou'er and Xiao Liang accompany him, he doesn't even have a person around him who knows cold and hot, and he can't even have a dog." ”
Mrs. Zhong stared at her sideways, obviously stunned by her daughter-in-law's magical thinking, and after a while, she asked, "Say, what are you and Ah Huai thinking again?" ”
Huo Roufeng stuck out her tongue, ginger is old and spicy, and it's so cool to deal with smart people.
"No, we just think that the second brother is strange and lonely, didn't I be a matchmaker for the two girls of the Wu family? I thought about being a matchmaker for the second brother, but Xiao Zhan said that the Zhan family has rules, people can only take concubines when they reach forty, and they can't have children in the main room, so I'll ask you. ”
"Why, do you have doubts about this rule set by your ancestors? Want to change that? Mrs. Zhong asked.
"No, no, no, of course not!" Huo Roufeng waved her hand, my God, how did it get to her, if she really changed this rule, maybe she would die, but there can be no doubts, you can't change it.
As for the deaths...... Zhanhuai dares to take a concubine, isn't that a death, and there is more than one.
"We mean the second brother and the second sister-in-law, well, I heard that after the second brother left, the second sister-in-law moved out of the princess's mansion as a surviving person and lived in the Guogong Mansion, so it stands to reason that if you add someone to the second brother's side, no matter what the name is, it is equivalent to taking a concubine, we are the younger brother and daughter-in-law, there is no other meaning, just to give you a reminder."
After speaking, Huo Roufeng looked at Mrs. Zhong's face, and only felt that what was said in the book was too right, and the mother-in-law in the world was the same, uncertain.
She hurriedly said: "I just heard that Xue Sheng and they are coming, I will go to the front yard to have a look, maybe I have to discuss something." Mother, I'm leaving. ”
When she walked to the door, she turned around again and said again: "Mother, I will let Ah Sheng go to my mother's house so that she will not disturb you." ”
In other words, no one bothers you today, think about it yourself.
