Huo Yubai wrote a reply letter to Huo Lingxuan, and then packed his things and prepared to return to Shengjing.

Before leaving, he specially left a letter for Ke Xingyi, explaining his whereabouts.

……

More than a month later, Huo Yubai arrived on the outskirts of Shengjing.

In the event of a heavy rainstorm, you can only go to the broken temple to take shelter from the rain.

Outside the temple, there is also a gorgeous carriage, and the owner of the carriage is either rich or noble.

Huo Yubai just glanced at it, didn't pay much attention, and entered the ruined temple with the coachman who was traveling with him.

It was also a coincidence that I met an acquaintance, Si Chu Heng, the prince of the royal prince, and a noble son, Shen Hao.

Si Chuheng had never seen Huo Yubai, so naturally he didn't know her.

Huo Yubai silently walked to the corner, found a few straws and dead branches, took out the fire fold, and lit the fire.

The coachman also picked up a few dead branches, "Fortunately, there is a ruined temple here." ”

Huo Yubai smiled, "It's lucky." ”

"The girl is optimistic, anyone who encounters such a heavy rainstorm will feel unlucky. In the last two months, the weather has changed, either drought or torrential rain, alas, there is no harvest this year......"

"Uncle's family farms?"

"Well, I rented a few acres of land and planted some grain, but God doesn't appreciate food, I want to support my mother-in-law and children, I have no choice but to go out and run a few carriages and earn some money."

Huo Yubai nodded, "It's not easy to farm. ”

"But it's not, after a hard year, most of the grain is sent to the landlord's family, and the imperial court has to collect taxes......" The coachman was full of sadness, "I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay the taxes this year, alas, ......"

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the uncle doesn't have to worry, in general, where the disaster is serious, the court will be exempt from taxes, and the emperor is a benevolent monarch today." Huo Yubai said softly.

"Hopefully."

“……”

Si Chuheng listened to Huo Yubai's words quietly, and said, "The emperor is a benevolent monarch today", which made him look at her twice.

The woman was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had a headscarf tied on her head, and she looked like she was from a poor family, and she even knew that the emperor was a benevolent monarch.

"Lord Shizi, this is thunder and lightning again, and the rain can't stop for a while, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with King Jing." Shen Hao was a little anxious.

Si Chu Heng looked indifferent, "Even if you catch up, do you have the ability to let King Jing return to Beijing?" ”

"This ......"

Si Chu Heng sneered, "This son hates forced marriage the most, and women like to come to this set the most, King Jing escaped well from this marriage, and this son didn't want to chase it." ”

"Lord Shizi, King Jing escaped from your sister-in-law's marriage."

"So what?"

“……”

Huo Yu hooked his lips and smiled, this prince is a man of temperament, but he is ruthless.

If you don't like it, you can leave your family early, but on the day of marriage, she was so embarrassed and left no room for it.

In particular, it was my grandmother's memorial day.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the temple, and a rustic carriage came into view.

Huo Yubai thought that he was coming to take shelter from the rain, but when he saw someone coming, he subconsciously stood up.

Huo Lingxuan hurriedly entered the broken temple, his eyes swept away, his face was slightly stiff, he glanced at Huo Yubai, and then bowed his hand to Si Chuheng and Shen Hao, his tone was indifferent, "Lord Shizi!" Shen Gongzi! ”

"Where are Huo Gongzi going?" Shen Hao asked.

"Pick up someone."

Huo Lingxuan walked towards Huo Yubai, with a smile on his face, "I came here to pick you up, I saw that there was a carriage in front of this temple, so I thought about coming in and taking a look." ”

Huo Yubai was a little helpless, "It's not that I don't know the way, why bother to run?" ”

"It's not far, it's been a bumpy road, and your body is okay?"

Huo Lingxuan was a little worried, his cousin could get dizzy when she rode in a carriage.

Huo Yubai smiled, "Over the years, my health has improved a lot, not to mention riding a carriage, riding a horse is no problem." ”

"That's good." Huo Lingxuan nodded with a smile, turned his head and ordered his entourage, "Get a cloak for Miss." ”

The attendant came with a white-fur cloak and offered it with both hands.

Huo Lingxuan took it, put it on Huo Yubai, helped her tie the strap, and sighed, "My health is not good, and I don't know how to wear more." ”

Huo Yubai's heart warmed, "Thank you, big brother." ”

"Should you take shelter from the rain, or do you want to come home with me now?"

"Take shelter from the rain, it will be very dangerous to encounter a landslide with such heavy rain."

"Well, that's good."

He was also worried that there was a prince of the royal prince, she was uncomfortable, and the second sister could see it, but he was too worried.

"It turns out that the girl is a young lady, and her little eyes are clumsy, but she didn't see it." The coachman sighed.

Huo Yu smiled in vain, "It's a down-and-out young lady, and the uncle laughed." ”

"The girl is joking, your big brother doesn't look easy."

"The eldest brother is a military general, so he may seem fierce."

"Haha! The girl is such a wonderful person, your eldest brother is so gentle to his sister, where is the fierce? ”

Huo Yubai smiled, "Just kidding, uncle don't be surprised." ”

"No wonder, the girl is interesting."

“……”

Si Chuheng looked at Huo Yubai, and the woman smiled and smiled, gentle and generous.

It's not the same as what he thinks is a sick seedling.

"It turns out that this is Miss Huo Er, it's really better to see than to hear."

Shen Hao's eyes were full of contempt, what he looked down on the most was this kind of woman who was generous and pure on the surface, but dirty on the inside.

Huo Yu smiled in vain, "Big brother, are the eldest uncle and aunt okay?" ”

"Father and mother are very good, don't remember, it's you, and ......" Huo Lingxuan wanted to ask Huo Yuqi, but there were outsiders there, and it was inconvenient to speak.

Huo Yubai knew what he meant, and when she thought of her son, she was full of helplessness, she hadn't seen him for almost two months, so she missed him so much.

"It's all good, it's just that my temper is getting worse and worse, and I'm disgusted by that kid."

Huo Lingxuan was surprised, "What's wrong with your temper?" ”

Huo Yubai shook his head and smiled, "When I was provoked by that kid, I was really irritable." ”

"Then I'm still quite curious, the second sister has always been a person who doesn't lose her temper, and it is also a kind of ability to provoke you."

“……”

The two brothers and sisters chatted without a word.

Shen Hao was ignored and looked a little embarrassed.

……

The other side.

Huo Yuqi and Ke Xingyi had been out for nearly two months, and after having had enough, they remembered to find a man for Huo Yubai.

Along the way, one old and one young always stared at the young man, and they were about to be treated as insane.

It is said that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many talents.

The two also went all the way north to Shengjing.

In the event of a rainstorm, he was drenched in soup, and he could not go to the village or the store in the back, so he could only hold an umbrella and walk in the rainstorm and cold wind, shivering.

"Master...... Let the rain stop. ”

Ke Xingyi resented, "I am your master, not Lei Gong." ”

"Drive! Drive! ”

A rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and Huo Yuqi instantly came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Help!" Help me! ”

Si Jingmo heard the child's cry for help from afar, and he was suspicious in his heart, and looked at it-

In the heavy rain, the old man held an umbrella and held a child in his hand, and the child kept waving and shouting for help.

Instinctively, I thought that the child had been kidnapped.
