"Qing Yan!" Le Yao threw herself into Hua Qingyan's arms and smiled brightly, "It's great that you're okay!" You don't even know how worried I am! ”

Le Yao's stature is shorter than Hua Qingyan, and it is quite harmonious to be coquettish in her arms at this moment. Hua Qingyan patted her back and whispered a few words of comfort, and the two talked for a while, and then led the topic to other aspects.

Hua Yaozong rode over slowly and looked at Le Yao condescendingly: "Yao girl, you came alone?" ”

"Uncle Flower!" Le Yao shook her head and said cautiously, "No, the identity of the person who is with me is more special, Uncle Hua will know it when he goes to see it." ”

It's not that Le Yao doesn't want to say it, but she doesn't know how to say it. Regardless of Hu Baizhi, an outsider, even if Hu Baizhi is not there, Le Yao does not dare to speak out about the name of the Empress Dowager. She scratched her head and was really embarrassed.

Seeing Le Yao's expression in her eyes, Hua Qingying turned back to Hua Yaozong and said, "Dad, it seems that this person's background is not small, I'm afraid it's someone there." ”

Needless to say, both of them know where it is.

"Let's go back first." Hua Yaozong said, "Bai Zhi girl, we have something, you go back first, and I will go to your father tomorrow." ”

"Oh." Although Hu Baizhi was a little reluctant, and wanted to play with Hua Qingyan and them, she also understood that the Hua family had guests, and since the host came back, she naturally wanted to entertain them. She was very happy Yao and Hua Qingyan waved their hands and turned around and went back to the Zhou family, but before entering the door, they turned their heads and shouted: "Qingyan, the people of the old Hua family are unlucky, a lot of things have happened, I will tell you tomorrow." ”

Hua Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the gate of the old Hua family not far away, now this gate is no longer as glamorous as before, there are dirty and red marks on it, like palms and footprints, and there are gaps in many places, obviously being destroyed recently. The door was hidden, and the moment Hua Qingyan saw it, it was closed tightly, obviously someone had been watching them inside before.

With their relationship with the Lao Hua family now, if something happens to their family, Hua Qingyan and they are naturally happy. So I didn't pay much attention to this matter, pulled Yue Yao into the carriage, and returned to the north of the village.

As if he heard the movement, the door of the Hua family was open, and the little brother of the porter was looking around with the door, and saw Hua Yaozong on horseback and the carriages behind him from a distance, and immediately shouted towards the courtyard. After a while, several small servants came out of the house, leading the horses and carrying the luggage, and they were very busy.

Jin Nanshu walked at the forefront, and saw that Hua Yaozong had made a junior salute, and his posture was very sufficient, and he did not have his arrogance as a little marquis at all, "Marshal." ”

"It's Xiao Jin!" Hua Yaozong patted Jin Nanshu's head, "Don't call me like that anymore, if someone with a heart listens to it, I'm afraid that the charges on my body will increase again." ”

"No matter what, you are a marshal in my heart." Jin Nanshu said with a smile, "Besides, the regent and the new emperor are so concerned about your affairs, it is only a matter of time before the snow official is reinstated." ”

"It's enough to be able to settle the grievances, I don't want the official to be reinstated." Hua Yaozong waved his hand, obviously losing interest in power and officialdom, and he didn't want to wade into troubled waters again. After going through so many things, he really saw through it, "Now that there is this field, it is also good to send love to the landscape, what I hope most now is to get my wife and daughter-in-law back and reunite the family." ”

Power touches people's hearts, but at the same time, it is the most harmful. Jin Nanshu understood in his heart that he didn't say much, but just said that they would have a family reunion one day.

But for now, it's important to meet your guests.

"Where's the guest?" Hua Yaozong asked.

"In the study."

Jin Nanshu walked in front, and behind him was Hua Yaozong's family. As he walked, he couldn't help but look back at Hua Yaozong, his face was full of confusion, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it.

Hua Yaozong saw his expression clearly, but he didn't ask, Jin Nanshu's attitude had already stated that the distinguished guest in the room was noble, he must be a member of the royal family, and it could not be the regent. followed all the way into the inner courtyard, Hua Yaozong was stunned, in the inner courtyard of their house is where Hua Qingyan and the girls lived, and even Xi'er moved to the front yard after he came back. The one who was placed in this inner courtyard was a female guest.

Hua Yaozong went through all the women in the royal family in his mind, but he didn't find any useful hints. He is a military attaché, perennial at the border, after being named marshal, he is stationed there, he comes back little during the New Year's holidays, and only sees the concubines of Emperor Qiyuan at only a few state banquets, but he has only met those concubines once, and there is no intersection at all. Who will be looking for them now?

Hua Yaozong was puzzled.

But when he saw Ah Ping smiling at the door of the study, he immediately understood, but he was even more confused.

- What did the Queen Mother come all the way to?

"Aunt Ping." Hua Yaozong bowed and greeted Ah Ping.

"Marshal, don't torture the maidservant." Ah Ping hurriedly half-squatted and returned the salute, "Niang Niang is waiting inside, the marshal and the young master should go in quickly." ”

Ah Ping had a smile on her face, obviously she didn't come to Xingshi to ask about the crime. Hua Yaozong's heart also let go of a little, he nodded towards Ah Ping, and led the family into the door after Jin Nanshu pushed open the door of the study.

The Empress Dowager stood with her back to the door, not luxurious in plain clothes, but also full of momentum. Sunlight filtered in through the window, giving the originally somewhat cold study a little warmth.

"See the Empress Dowager." The family knelt down and saluted, and even the two children were pulled to kneel aside.

"Get up, you don't have to be so polite when you're out and about."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

Lou Xueyan turned around, her eyes swept over the Hua family, and when she landed on Hua Qingyan, a trace of surprise and relief flashed in her originally unwavering eyes. The Hua family stood up straight, letting the Empress Dowager look at her, her eyes were not sharp, but they gave people a sense of affinity.

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment, after all, the Empress Dowager didn't speak, and none of them dared to speak first.

After a long while, the Empress Dowager finally retracted her gaze, but stretched out her hand and spread her palm: "Hua Yaozong, do you recognize who this is?" ”

Hua Yaozong, who was named, subconsciously looked over, and the Empress Dowager's palm was a jade pendant. The jade pendant is very familiar, it was brought to him by his mother after he was born. This Dai was more than ten years, and then he went to Yongjing, became a general, married his daughter-in-law, and then took it down and gave it to his daughter-in-law.

Hua Yaozong subconsciously reached out to take it, "Recognize, this is what my mother gave me." ”

Really! The Empress Dowager said in her heart, it seems that she has found someone.

However, the Empress Dowager was still not at ease, and asked, "What is your mother's name?" ”

Hua Yaozong was a little puzzled, what did this mother do when he asked him? And where did you get this jade pendant?

However, Hua Qingyan's eyes widened the moment she saw the jade pendant, isn't this jade pendant the one that Yun Shumo snatched from her arms as a token of love! It's her grandmother's relic! She originally thought that Yun Shumo would take care of it, but she didn't expect it to be in the hands of the Queen Mother!

Hua Qingyan intuitively thought that this jade pendant was related to Lou Xueyu's life experience, and looking at the Empress Dowager who came to the door with the jade pendant, a seemingly unreliable thought flashed in Hua Qingyan's mind.

But don't be what she thinks!

The Empress Dowager seemed to be unable to wait for Hua Yaozong's answer, and said directly: "Your mother's surname is Lou, and her name is Snow Kite!" ”

Hua Yaozong's eyes widened suddenly, "How do you know?" After asking, Hua Yaozong felt stupid again, who is the empress dowager, she must have found out her net worth clearly.

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly: "Of course I know, I also have a piece of such a jade pendant, but it is engraved with a goose character." She said as she pulled out a piece of jade pendant from her collar, and then took the scissors that had been prepared on the side to cut the red rope, "Look for yourself, what is the difference between these two jade pendants except for the words on them?" ”

Hua Yaozong's mind was blank now, he didn't know what to think, and he didn't dare to speculate, the Empress Dowager's words seemed to reveal a very important and absolutely outrageous message, but Hua Yaozong didn't dare to admit it. He never dared to think about such a thing as a royal climbing!

Hua Yaozong is a military general, and later rose all the way to become a marshal, what a glory, but his birth has been criticized by officials of the same dynasty, he was born in the countryside, but also because of some unbearable things and left his hometown, so many years and never honored his father, so every year there are ministers who use this as an attack point to impeach Emperor Qiyuan, saying that he is such an unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial person is not qualified to lead the three armies at all!

Unkind and unjust, disloyal and unfilial, this pot is too big, of course Emperor Qiyuan will not believe it, but this also makes Hua Yaozong unbearable.

He never thought about what he would be like if he had a prominent and intimidating family background, nor did he ever think about what he would climb high in the past, he only knew that he was the son of Lou Xueyuan, and that was enough.

But now a person of noble status came to him and told him that they were most likely relatives, which made Hua Yaozong a little unacceptable.

But the attitude of the Empress Dowager is impossible to refuse!

Hua Yaozong took the jade pendant that belonged to her from the Empress Dowager's hand, and compared it with one in his own hand.

The same texture, the same pattern, sure enough, only the lettering on it is different. Hua Yaozong took a deep breath, "Empress Dowager, what does this mean?" We ......" Hua Yaozong didn't dare to say any more, always feeling that he would offend this extremely noble person.

Lou Xueyan took the two jade pendants and said: "My girlfriend's name is Lou Xueyan, which is the 3,000 gold of the king of the Northeast, and I have two sisters, one is the eldest sister Lou Xueyu, and the other is the second sister Lou Xueyang." My sisters are a lot older than me, so naturally I love me the most, so I married the emperor in order to fulfill my eldest sister. ”

Lou Xueyan looked up at Hua Yaozong, her eyes burning: "Child, don't you still understand?" ”
