Mama Yan glanced at Huo Sijin, saw that her face was pale, her eyes were frightened, she didn't like it, put down the dough in her hand, and said, "Miss, it's just such a little thing, are you scared?" ”

Huo Sijin lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly: "But that's a human life, Grandma Wang San is the queen's younger sister-in-law, and they are relatives." ”

"Loved ones? Miss, the old woman told you that the most untrustworthy thing in this world is the people around you. The scourge of witchcraft is relatives, and the change of Xuanwumen is also relatives, the father kills the son, the brother kills the brother, compared to this, Grandma Wang San is just a life like a small mustard, what is it? Mama Yan was full of anger, and her tone became more and more stern.

Huo Sijin tightly twisted the handkerchief in his hand, and his palms were covered with cold sweat.

Mama Yan looked at her hand holding the handkerchief, her fingers were white because she was too hard, and Mama Yan said coldly: "Miss, these little problems of yours are getting worse and worse, you don't have this problem when you are in the nunnery, this is what you learned from these small women of the Huo family in the capital, you have to get rid of it." ”

Huo Sijin shuddered with fright, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.

Cui Wei hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, and said unhappily: "Mama, you scared Miss." ”

Mama Yan snorted: "As a young lady, how can you be frightened by my old wife, but young lady has seen the Queen Mother and can accompany the Queen Mother." ”

Hearing Mama Yan's words, Huo Sijin's ears felt uncomfortable like a pinprick.

Mama Yan should have been unintentional, not deliberately ridiculing her, what happened in front of the Queen Mother that day, others don't know, and Mama Yan doesn't know.

That day, she was so frightened by the Queen Mother that she almost lost her manners......

At that time, she still didn't dare to think about it until now, and she felt terrified when she thought about it.

But why isn't that child afraid, that child looks younger than her, but in front of the Queen Mother, she laughs when she wants, cries when she wants to cry, and says whatever she wants.

Isn't he afraid?

It's just the son of a merchant, how can you not be afraid, I think I haven't seen the world, and I don't even know the saying that a companion is like a tiger.

Ignorance is fearless.

Huo Sijin had the appearance of the child in his mind again, with a white and red face, eyebrows that flew into the sideburns, dark and bright almond eyes, a small and delicate nose, petal-like lips, and a round double chin when he smiled.

She has been in the nunnery for many years, and it is the first time she has seen such a good-looking child. The child should be about the same age as her, but he looks younger than her, and at first glance he is a child who has been pampered since childhood, unlike her...... She almost forgot that she had just turned twelve.

Since Mama Yan came to her five years ago, she has gradually forgotten her age, she is not a child, she is not blessed to be a child.

On the first day of the eighth month, early in the morning, Mrs. Feng took Huo Yuan and Huo Sijin to Yongji Temple.

got out of the carriage outside the temple gate, and happened to meet the old lady of the district with her daughter-in-law, daughter and two granddaughters across the room, seven or eight people, and it seemed that the old lady Feng was sparsely populated.

When the Huo family arrived in this generation, there were only two people in the house. Huo Yan, the husband of the old lady of the district, is cousin with the old lady Huo, and he was once an official to the government decree and ranked in the ninth secretary. It's a pity that Huo died of illness in his forties.

In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the plague in Longxi, only a few people in the Huo family escaped the catastrophe, and then moved the family to Baoding Mansion in Beizhili, after Huo Gui and his cousin Huo Yan came out, the Huo family moved to the capital again, bought the house of Huaishu Hutong, and the two rooms lived in the opposite door, outsiders talked about the Huo family in Huaishu Hutong, and called Huo Gui's house Dongfu, and Huo Yan's house called Xifu.

Old lady Huo's Yuan and Jiao's wife of the second old lady, Ou, are close to each other, and they knew each other before they got married, and later they both married into the Huo family, and the relationship was even better, and the two families got along well.

After Jiao's death, Huo Jiang's wife was frail and sick, unable to preside over the feed, Huo Hai had not yet married, the eldest lady Huo Xiang was only eight years old, and the old lady of the district in Xifu came over from time to time to help with housework, and the housekeeper of Dongfu respected her very much.

The old lady of the district manages the East Mansion for three years.

Three years later, when the filial piety period expired, Huo Gui didn't want to trouble the old lady of the district anymore, so he married Feng.

After Mrs. Feng married in, those housekeepers looked at her young and didn't take her seriously, so Mrs. Feng hated Mrs. District.

Mrs. District also looked at Mrs. Feng unpleasantly, the two of them talked a few times, Mrs. Feng is a stepfamily, and she has no children, so she can only eat coptis dumbly, and the two families still come and go, but the relationship is different from before.

Just like today, when the two families arrived at the gate of Yongji Temple, they learned that the other party had also come to participate in the puja.

Old Madam Ou didn't seem to see Old Madam Feng, she looked at Huo Yuan and Huo Sijin through Old Madam Feng.

The aunt and nephew hurriedly saluted, and the old lady of the district beckoned to Huo Sijin: "Sister Jin, how did he use the rheumatism cream that he sent to your father before?" ”

Huo Sijin was stunned, she didn't know about this at all, she hadn't seen her father Huo Jiang for a few days.

Huo Jiang avoided her morning awakening and rarely ate at home, so she met her father once in Ermen five days ago.

She could only bite the bullet and say: "Father uses it very well, but this rheumatism needs to be slowly recuperated, and it will take a few more days to get better." ”

Old Mrs. Ou nodded with satisfaction, and said to Huo Sijin: "You are the same age as Sister Zhi and Sister Rong, you little sisters play together, you don't need to be with us old ladies." ”

Huo Yuan and the daughters-in-law and daughters of the old lady of the district all laughed, and the two families entered the mountain gate together.

The two granddaughters of the old lady of the district, Huo Zhi and Huo Rong, one is one year older than Huo Sijin, and the other is one year younger than Huo Sijin, the sisters look very similar, their expressions are exactly the same, and their dressing is the same, when they first saw them, Huo Sijin thought they were twins, but fortunately, Huo Zhi was slightly taller than Huo Rong, otherwise Huo Sijin would not be able to tell the difference until now.

She doesn't like these two sisters, both of them love to talk and laugh, they can laugh non-stop at the slightest trivial, Huo Sijin doesn't understand, what's so ridiculous about that.

She followed the two sisters together, and from time to time looked at Mama Yan who was following behind her. Mama Yan didn't like the sisters either.

Mama Yan's face was expressionless, as if she hadn't seen anything.

"Second sister, look, that's Guo Yuling from the eldest princess's mansion, tsk, I didn't expect her to come too, I don't know if the eldest princess is also here." Huo Zhi stopped as she spoke, standing on tiptoe to look.

Huo Sijin followed her gaze and saw three or four maids hugging a woman, who was in her early twenties, not very beautiful, but with an orchid temperament, and a bookish air between her eyebrows.

It was the first time she had heard of this name, and she asked Huo Zhi softly: "She is from the Eldest Princess's Mansion?" Which eldest princess? ”

After the emperor ascended the throne, he named his seven sisters as the eldest princess.

Huo Zhi said: "Don't you know? Guo Yuling grew up beside the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother liked her the most and gave her to Princess Fangyi. ”

"Eldest Princess Fangyi? The colt is the one who is the second son of the Zhan family? Huo Sijin asked.

"Yes, it's her, she's the emperor's only sibling." Huo Zhi said enviously.
