Chapter 162: Asking for Trouble

After another two days, the pinch marks on Huizhu's neck gradually disappeared, and Su Xin saw that Huizhu had been reluctant to mention the origin of the scars, so she had to rot the question in her stomach, but she vaguely guessed a ten**, and she was secretly anxious. So I paid less attention to the things that Huizhu confessed, although I also kept a heart, but in the end, I didn't pay so much attention to what I had in mind. So after more than ten days, I didn't find out why, and the matter was over.

In this way, the days then came in May, the weather became hotter, and people's hearts became fluctuating.

On this day, the weather was still sultry, the scorching sun was hanging in the air, there was no trace of wind, Huizhu stood under the porch of the courtyard for a while, she was already sweating a lot, and even the placket was damp. Su Xin persuaded: "I think my wife is delayed on the road, it will probably be late, and it is so hot outside, so it is better for the master to go to the house and wait." Huizhu couldn't stand the heat, only squinted at the sun, and nodded in agreement to go back into the house.

Just walked three or four steps, only to hear Xiao Ranzi's voice shouting: "Master, my wife and second grandmother are here." Huizhu hurriedly exited the courtyard and greeted him personally.

Zhang Jiashi patted Huizhu's hand and said distressedly: "You are most afraid of the heat, this will be almost noon, it is the hottest time, but wait for a while." Huizhu smiled and asked, "I just came out for a while, I didn't wait much, but why did Eniang and my younger siblings come late?" A dignified-looking woman dressed in a lake-green flag uniform replied on her behalf: "When the concubine and Eniang came to the second courtyard, Fujin asked me to wait for a few greetings, and it was only half an hour late. "It was Junxian's wife, Suo Yuluo, who had just gone to the door before.

Hearing this, Huizhu glanced at the Suo Yuluo clan, and was surprised at the dignity given to her by the Wulanala clan, but said in her mouth: "Fujin is a thoughtful person, and he is so polite. The Suo Xuanluo clan hurriedly replied, and praised a few good words from the Ulanala clan.

When he spoke, he had returned to the inner room, at this time Mama He was playing in the house with Baolian, Zhang Jiashi saw it, and was busy hugging Baolian in her arms The baby was strange for a while, and took out the sachet prepared for the Dragon Boat Festival a few days ago to put on Baolian, Fang and his daughter and daughter-in-law laughed and laughed.

Subsequently, after lunch, after Xiaojuan served seasonal fruits and herbal tea, Huizhu saw that Zhang Jia's seemed to have something important to say, so she gave Su Xin a look and asked Su Xin to lead the rest of the people to retreat.

Zhang Jiashi watched the people waiting in the house leave, and pulled Hui to say something about what had happened in Niu Hulu Mansion in the past six months, but he didn't say anything about it.

Huizhu saw that Zhang Jiashi wanted to speak and stopped, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and said: "I see that there seems to be something in Eniang's heart, but I don't know what it is, which makes Eniang embarrassed." ”

Zhang Jia's family was indeed in a dilemma, but he didn't rush to explain, but pulled Huizhu to ask her about her current situation, and Fang sighed under the expectation of Suo Yuluo's ardent expectation: "I don't want to look for you for this fact, but your brother is twenty-four years old, and he is still a military attache from the seventh grade, which is really not good-looking." You have been married into the royal family for so many years, and the affairs of the house have never looked for you, but this opportunity is rare, and the family really has no way, so they will think of you. ”

When Huizhu heard the word "official position", she felt a diaphragm in her heart, but seeing Zhang Jia's sad look, this matter was related to Junxian, and she still asked: "I don't know what E-Niang said?" ”

A hint of relief flashed in Zhang Jia's eyes, and then he frowned and said: "This month, Long Live Lord will send troops to set up defense lines in six provinces including Henan, among which our Eight Banners will set up eight people each in Manchuria, Zuo Ling, Defense, and Xiao Cavalry School. What you Ama and I mean is that this Xiao Riding School is a martial arts officer from the sixth grade, and your brother is originally a military attaché, and when he is transferred out, it is reasonable to be promoted to two levels. Huizhu listened to Zhang Jia's words, thought about it in her heart, and praised it without speaking.

Zhang Jiashi looked at Huizhu's expression, and said abruptly: "In the thirty-fourth or thirty-eighth year, a batch of troops were sent to defend the army, and the children of the Eight Banners who were sent over at that time were all promoted when they came back. When the time comes, your brother will go, and he will come back after a few years of seniority, and he will not worry. As he spoke, he took Suo Yuluo's hand, and said with red eyes: "Your brother and sister have a body of more than four months, and your brother is so old that he can finally have an heir, and I am a lot more relieved." Alas, that's it, it's better not to embarrass you, the head of our family is soft-spoken, I haven't helped you anything, in the fourth master's mansion over the years, you have all relied on yourself to become a side blessing, and now you can't drag you back, you just didn't mention it to me. With that, he turned his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Huizhu glanced at the Suo Xuanluo clan, who was still inconspicuous, and carefully pondered Zhang Jia's words in her heart, and knew that if it was replaced by another person, her mother's family would have come over to help the family, and in the past twelve or thirteen years since she entered the mansion, Niu Hulu Mansion not only found her, but also often sent some money and things over, thinking that this time it was really at a loss, so she would find her. It's just that let her open her mouth to Yinzhen for this......

As soon as she thought of this, Huizhu beat a side drum in her heart, but when she saw Zhang Jia's appearance, she couldn't bear it, so she had to agree: "Eniang, I don't guarantee that this thing will be done, but I will tell the fourth master." When Zhang Jiashi heard this, he looked at Huizhu with a happy face, and then said with a gloomy expression: "The fourth master has always had a clear distinction between public and private, if you go...... It's better to forget it, lest you be disadvantageous in front of the fourth master, I will think of a way with you Ama to do this again. ”

Since she also opened her mouth, Huizhu fully responded: "E-niang, don't worry about me, these days, I'll talk about it when I see the time." Zhang Jiashi couldn't help but feel guilty when she heard this, but her daughter couldn't match her son after all, and Huizhu had both sons and daughters, and no one could surpass her. Thinking about it like this, Zhang Jiashi didn't postpone it any longer, and then carefully told Huizhu about sending troops to defend it, and Fang and his daughter-in-law said goodbye and left together.

After sending Zhang Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law away, Huizhu returned to the house and leaned on the kang alone, thinking about it.

For a while, Su Xin changed the herbal tea and entered the house, and saw that Huizhu seemed to be troubled by something, so she asked, "What's the matter, but something happened in Niu Hulu's mansion?" Huizhu frowned and said the matter again, Su Xin Huo Ran said loudly, "What", and then hurriedly said: "Why is it at this fork, don't say that the master is not good to talk to, but now the relationship between the master and the master is stiff, when Xiao Gege was injured last year, you were punished by the master, and the master came once in the past six months, or because the little brother was taken into the palace, the master had some quarrels with the master last month, and at this time, how to go to the master to ask for an official position." ”

Huizhu glanced at Su Xin and did not speak. In fact, I also thought about these in my heart, even more worried than Suxin, thinking of Yinzhen's fierceness that day, I had palpitations, and it was hard to say.

After a few days, Huizhu hesitated and didn't speak until the last two days of the matter, seeing that this matter could no longer be delayed, she took a look at Yinzhen's days in the house, found an excuse to send food, and sent Xiao Ranzi over to spread the word.

Huizhu waited anxiously in the room for a reply, stood up from time to time, walked around, sat down again, supported her neck, and looked out of the curtain for a while. Huizhu was about to get up and spin again, only to see the curtain lifted, Xiao Ranzi said with a smile: "Master, the master asked you to send food over." ”

Huizhu was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Yinzhen to agree with her, but she didn't think much about it, so she hurriedly instructed Xiao Ranzi to carry the food box and walk with her to the study room in the east of the mansion.

Along the way, Huizhu felt that she had not walked a few steps to the courtyard of the study. This courtyard is semi-enclosed, and in front of the courtyard is a moon gate, and inside the door there is a pavilion with red lacquer and blue tiles, and the two sides borrow a corridor, and only one corner stretches out. Standing in front of the moon gate, it can be seen that there is a curved corridor around the small courtyard, the territory is a rockery stalagmite standing upright, the green vines are around, the ancient wood and green bamboo are lined with famous flowers, it is very elegant.

Just looking curiously, I suddenly saw Xiao Luzi with a smiling face, coming from the verandah, and first gave a few words to the guards guarding the Moon Gate, and then said to Qian'er: "The slave asked Niu Hulu Fujin to say goodbye." After speaking, he turned sideways, made a gesture to lead the way, and said, "Please come here from the minion." Huizhu responded with a smile, took the food box from Xiao Ranzi's hand, and followed him into the courtyard.

The courtyard is not big, and after walking for a while, he stopped in front of a door, and then Xiao Luzi entered the house to pass the word, and got a reply, so he bowed down and pushed the door open in person, and whispered: "Lord let you in." Huizhu nodded, took a deep breath, tightened the food box in her hand, and then stepped into the study.

"Squeak", the door was closed, Huizhu was looking at the red door when she heard the sound, and heard Yinzhen say in a faint voice: "Put the food on the high table on the other side of the seat, I will deal with the matter at hand, and I will come over in a while." Huizhu hurriedly turned her head, and the blessing body responded, but when she raised her eyes, she saw that Yinzhen was still looking down at the folds on the table, pouting secretly, and walked to the chair to wait.

The room was quiet again, except for the occasional rustling of paper.

Huizhu sat on the chair for a while, but still took a closer look at Yinzhen's study. The furnishings of the study are somewhat simple, with a marble hanging screen in the middle of the main entrance, a small square table below, a left and right Taishi chairs, and a chessboard on the table; In the east room, there is a desk where Yinzhen deals with official business, and the desk is also very simple, with only inkstones, pen holders, pen holders, paperweights, printing boxes, etc., as well as a thick stack of folds. There are bookshelves against the wall on the west side of the table, and the bookshelves are full of books, but they are very neatly arranged, which shows that the owner of the books cherishes books very much.

I was about to continue to look at the study, but I heard the sound of the chair moving, and then I saw Yinzhen coming out of the table. Huizhu hurriedly pulled back her gaze from the stained window on the west wall and stood up respectfully.
