Chapter 430: The Fragrance of Flowers
At the beginning of October, the eldest princess Fangyi held a stone appreciation party, and Huo Sijin also received an invitation, and she couldn't tell why, and there was a trace of joy in her heart. As early as three years ago, Zhanhuai was married, and she was very happy at that time, but as time went by, she regretted it more and more.
This time, in addition to inviting the nobles and nobles of the clan, the school-age female dependents of the officials above the third rank in the capital also received invitations.
Huo Sijin quietly asked people to inquire, but all the ladies who received the invitation have not yet decided on a marriage.
Her heart was sweet and sour, the eldest princess held this stone appreciation party for Zhanhuai, but hasn't Zhanhuai already married?
It was still Cui Wei who woke her up: "The slave maid heard that the woman who was married to General Zhan Wu was born in a family of military generals, if it weren't for the fact that her grandfather was an old subordinate of Grandpa Guo, she was afraid that she would not have anything to do with the Zhan family in this life." ”
Huo Sijin knew in his heart, now Zhanhuai is no longer the hairy boy who caused trouble in the capital back then, he is an eighteen-year-old general of Zhengxi, no matter what the Zhan family thinks, the eldest princess, the elder sister, is afraid that she has an idea.
It's not the first time Huo Sijin has received an invitation from the eldest princess. In the past few years, she has participated in the plum appreciation party of the eldest princess's mansion every year, and at this year's plum appreciation party, the eldest princess also praised her for a plum poem.
Today she also went to the street, on the second floor of a fat powder shop facing the street, she saw Zhan Huai in a military uniform, at that moment, her heart was not beating, Zhan Huai was more handsome than she imagined, more majestic, like the sun shining through the ice peak, bright and brilliant, dazzling.
Huo Sijin burst into tears, she knew what she had missed back then.
Cui Wei came in and told her that when Zhanhuai came to the house, she was lying on the Luohan bed with her back to the sky, and when she came back from the street, she had been lying like this, and Yan Mama came in the middle, and told her sarcastically: "The saint has sealed the general soldier of Zhanhuai Yulin, and the general soldier of Shaanxi, and also awarded the hussar general of the second grade, tsk, Zhanhuai is probably the youngest second-grade member in the history of this dynasty, eighteen years old, alas, that Miss Feng family is a blessing to the sky, and she has set such a good family affair." ”
Huo Sijin cried silently, she knew that Mama Yan was laughing at her, in order to retire from the relationship with the Zhan family, she put down her frame and knelt down for Mama Yan......
There is no family affair, but what she got in exchange was deep remorse and ridicule from the world.
"Miss, Miss, get up quickly, General Zhan Wu is here, and he is in the flower hall in the front yard at this time."
It wasn't until Cui Wei shouted again that Huo Sijin reacted.
She sat up, wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, and asked, "What did you say?" Say it again! ”
Cui Wei said with a smile: "It's General Zhan Wu who is here, no, it should be called General Zhan." ”
Huo Sijin was stunned and asked, "Is he here to find his father?" ”
"That's not it, Mr. Zhan is here to find the eldest son, but the eldest prince is busy, so I had to invite Mr. Zhan to sit in the flower hall first."
"What is he looking for the eldest prince to do? Do they still have a friendship? "Huo Sijin is a little strange, Zhanhuai kidnapped Huo Yan in his early years, although he should have some affection for each other as officials in the same dynasty, but there should be no friendship in private.
Huo Sijin recalled carefully, she really didn't remember what the intersection between Zhanhuai and Huo Yan had besides that time.
The two of them had a different path of civil and martial arts, and long before Huo Yan entered the office, Zhanhuai left the capital.
Huo Sijin said to Cui Wei: "Aren't you friends with Xiao Ying in the courtyard of the eldest prince?" ”
Cui Wei immediately understood and went out.
Huo Sijin walked around the room, and she wanted to meet Zhanhuai, even if it was just a sneak peek.
But there was no reason for her to go to the front yard, she thought about it, but she still couldn't think of it.
Zhanhuai waited for a full stick of incense before Huo Qingzhou yawned.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhanhuai smelled a scent of flowers that could not be named, and when Huo Qingzhou walked in front of him, he took a few steps back, and then rushed directly to the door.
Huo Qingzhou was taken aback, he hadn't seen Zhanhuai like this before.
"Zhan Wu, what's wrong with you?" Huo Qingzhou asked.
Zhanhuai wrinkled his brows and asked, "You are a big man, why do you still bathe with flower dew?" ”
Huo Qingzhou said: "Why can't I take a bath with flower dew?" ”
As soon as his words fell, he saw Zhanhuai covering his nose with his hand and said vaguely: "I'll go first, I'll talk about it another day." ”
After speaking, Zhanhuai ran out as soon as he smoked.
Huo Qingzhou was dumbfounded, he saw that Zhanhuai was really running.
Zhan Huai can't smell the dew?
Although Huo Qingzhou is smelly and beautiful, he has not yet reached the point where he wants to take a bath with flower dew.
Before he left, he sent Xiaofeng a box of books she wanted, as well as two bottles of good flower dew. The things were sent to Shuangjing Hutong, and the box of books was kept, but Cai Qin returned the flower dew, and he knew that his baby sister couldn't smell the flower dew.
He lived in the barracks for a few days, and when he got home today, he wanted to take a good bath, so he wanted to take away the flower dew that his sister didn't want, but he didn't expect that it was just a few drops, so he scared Zhanhuai and ran away like a rabbit.
Huo Qingzhou suddenly understood that it was not Xiaofeng who couldn't smell the dew, but Zhanhuai.
Looking at the way Fang just showed his arms, it wasn't as simple as not liking the fragrance, but like he was afraid.
The ridicule on Huo Qingzhou's face was gone, Zhanhuai was not an ordinary person, he was a general who led thousands of troops, he couldn't let people see his weaknesses.
Back in his house, Huo Qingzhou asked people to send two bottles of flower dew to Huo Sijin, and he decided to go to Xiaofeng tomorrow and ask about this matter clearly.
Huo Sijin suddenly received two bottles of flower dew from Huo Yan, she was a little strange, when did Huo Yan remember her? She opened the glass bottle and smelled it, these two bottles of flower dew were rare and high-quality goods, and she didn't know where Huo Yan found them.
She called Cui Wei again and said, "Tomorrow you see Xiao Ying, and ask her about the two bottles of flower dew." ”
The next day, Huo Qingzhou went to Shuangjing Hutong, he hadn't seen Huo Roufeng for a while, as soon as he met, Huo Qingzhou reached out and touched the top of his sister's head, and said: "Don't grow any longer, be careful not to marry if you grow too tall." ”
Huo Roufeng shook his hand away and said, "I don't have to worry about whether I marry or not, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Huo Qingzhou smiled and took out a yellow pear box from his arms and said, "Look, I found something." ”
Seeing the Huanghuali box in his hand, Huo Roufeng's eyes widened, the carvings on this box were exactly the same as those seen in Gu Zhenxuan, but the one in Gu Zhenxuan was a big box, and this one was small and exquisite, and it was used for jewelry at first glance.
Huo Roufeng followed Cai Lao to learn to appreciate antiques, and already had the skills, she carefully touched the box, raised it to the sun and looked at it, and said to Huo Qingzhou: "This is the gift box of the Huo family in Shaanxi, where did you find such a small one?" ”
