Chapter 55: Speaking of Mei
Hua Luo saw that Xiahou Qian's mansion was indeed as Zhaoyue said, and white stripes were hanging everywhere fluttering in the wind, with a kind of bleak taste.
Hua Luo came to the door, and the people in the house immediately recognized Hua Luo, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"You adults can be in the house."
Flora stood in the doorway, looking at the white lantern that was swaying in the wind.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, please."
Xiahou Qian's subordinates respectfully invited the flower into the courtyard.
Xia Houqian heard that Hua Luo was coming in person, so he hurriedly came out to greet him, and he didn't pay much attention to his image until he saw Hua Luo himself, Xia Hou Qian didn't notice that he was untidy.
"It is the minister's sin to see His Royal Highness the Prince, and to come to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince without tidying up his appearance for a while."
"It doesn't matter." Hua Luo casually found a chair and sat down, glanced at Xia Houqian, and found that she had not seen the haggard and emaciated on Xia Houqian's face to a frightening degree in such a short time.
"Xiahou, life and death are fateful, don't be too sad, no matter how you say that you still have two children."
"Thank you for your concern." Xia Houqian's nose was red, and he was also wearing white clothes, with a sad attitude.
At this time, the cry of a child came from behind, and Xiahou Qian glanced at the back room, but he didn't dare to go because Hua Luo was there.
Hua Luo said: "Xiahou, Qiaonu is dead, what are your plans?" ”
Xiahou Qian didn't understand what Hua Luo meant, and just looked at Hua Luo.
Hua Luo said: "You are still young, and you have two children to take care of, I just walked all the way, the house is in a mess, there is no discipline, there must be someone to take care of the house, can you be busy alone." ”
Xiahou Qian was very surprised: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Ms. Qiao's bones are not cold, and the minister does not consider ......"
"You don't have to think about it." Hua Luo Zhengse said, "What about the two children, it's not your man's job to take care of the children." ”
"The rule of filial piety has long been abolished, even if Qiao Nu has a spirit in the sky, she will hope that you will find another hostess to take over her burden to take care of the family and take care of the two children."
"I know you're sad now, this matter can be settled first, and it's not too late to do it when you come out of your grief, I'll find you a gentle and virtuous woman to continue the room."
"Your Highness, by all means!" Xiahou Qian stopped.
But what Hua Luo decided was not so easy to change.
After Hua Luo walked out of Xiahou Qian's mansion, she glanced at the sky: "At this time, Zhaoyue Zhanxing should have done the matter." ”
Hua Luo passed by a flower stall and saw that all the flowers had been broken off and kept in bottles of water.
Flora asked, "Why are all these flowers planted?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince." The flower seller said, "This is a flower that was not sold out on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival, and the little one can't bear to wither it like this, so he puts a bottle on it and sees if anyone wants it." ”
"I see." Hua Luo picked up one of the bottles, "This bottle of yours is quite chic, do you only sell flowers or do you sell it with the bottle?" ”
The peddler laughed and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, looking at what you said, it is naturally sold with bottles." ”
Hua Luo saw that there were red and white plums on the side, and they were budding to be released, so she picked up one and looked at it carefully.
"Your Highness's vision is really good, these are not half opened, if you take it back and insert the bottle, you can live for a while."
"Give me some."
Hua Luo bought a few red and white plums and took them back to the East Palace.
Zhaoyue and Zhanxing looked at the plum blossoms that Hua Luo took back and were very strange: "Ah Luo, where did you get this plum blossom from, it doesn't seem to be a variety of the East Palace." ”
"It's true that it's not the ones I have in my collection in the East Palace, but how about you take a look?"
Zhao Yue glanced at it: "It's beautiful, it's fragrant, why do you still bring your own bottle, do you want me to find a suitable place to put it." ”
"You wait a minute." Hua Luo saw this plum blossom, and sighed vividly, "When I see this red plum, I think of it, every year Fang Xin negative red plum, and the riverside is drooping and wants to bloom." Cherish the affectionate Guan Yiling, and send spring to the roots. ”
"Seeing this white plum, I remembered a few plums in the corner, Ling Han opened it alone, and I knew that it was not snow, only the dark fragrance."
"Yo, Ah Luo, why did you come to the sour literati set today, obviously there are good-looking plum blossoms in the East Palace, but I don't know where to get so many, what are you trying to do."
"Nothing." Hua Luo took a plum blossom and said casually, "Naturally, it's to talk about plum (matchmaking)." ”
Suddenly, the atmosphere fell silent.
Zhaoyue and Zhanxing stopped talking.
Hua Luo took turns from the faces of Zhaoyue and Zhanxing, and finally locked on Zhaoyue: "Zhaoyue, you also know that Xiahou's wife has passed away, leaving behind two children to be fed. ”
"I went to his house just now to see it, there is no hostess in the house who is messy, Xiahou is not much easier than me as my minister, every day is in charge of everything, where is the time to take care of the children."
"So I think there has to be a new hostess to help him take care of the housework, Xiahou was brought back from Yanzhou three years ago, and the two of us have known each other for almost eight years, I know him best."
"He is a very reliable person, you and Zhan Xing have dealt with him many times on weekdays because of me, so you should also have a preliminary understanding of him, Zhaoyue, if you don't mind......
"What, Aar." Zhao Yue interrupted Hua Luo's words, "You don't want to give me to Lord Xiahou as a steproom, do you?" ”
"What do you think?"
Hua Luo admitted very calmly: "After I ascend the throne, the two of you will regain the dignity of the princess, but you will find someone to marry, Xiahou is my confidant and minister, and I have been doing things for me for so many years, I can't treat him badly, and it is also a good destination for you." ”
"But I never thought about it that way." Zhao Yue hurriedly said.
"But you're eighteen years old, so you want to be an old girl with me." Blossom asked.
"If I don't marry, I just won't marry."
Zhaoyue's head shook like a rattle: "I want to accompany Ah Luo for the rest of my life." ”
"And I think, Ah Luo......" Zhaoyue changed her words and said jokingly, "If you really feel sorry for Lord Xiahou, if you have no one to take care of the house, then you can marry him yourself, didn't you say it, you know him again, the two of you have known each other for so many years, and he is still your confidant, isn't it appropriate to tie the knot." ”
"What?" Hua Luo Zhengse said, "No, it's too ripe, and the rabbit doesn't eat the grass by the nest." ”
Zhan Xing said unceremoniously: "You are too familiar with Lord Xiahou, so Zhaoyue and Lord Xiahou are not familiar with each other?" And you forgot, during the Hundred Flowers Festival, Zhaoyue made an appointment with someone else, she already has a sweetheart, and it's useless for you to stuff Lord Xiahou to her, it's better for Ah Luo to be the hostess yourself. ”
"By the way, I remember that a few days ago someone said that the husband wanted to find someone to save trouble, isn't this a current achievement? Lord Xiahou is gentle and elegant, and listen to you, Ah Luo, as soon as you get married, you will have both children and daughters, and everything will be saved. ”
Zhanxing crackled and said a bunch of things.
Hua Luo shook her head a little speechlessly: "You think too much, my marriage is not my decision, but I can make decisions for the two of you, Zhaoyue, or you can think about it again." ”
"No, don't think about it."
In order to dispel Hua Luo's thoughts, Zhaoyue frantically changed the topic: "Ah Luo, I really think that Lord Xiahou is more compatible with you, you said that if Your Majesty lets you make your own decisions about your marriage." Will you marry Lord Xiahou? After all, didn't you tell me and my sister before? ”
"Lord Xiahou's mother begged you to bring Lord Xiahou back to the capital just to let him be your husband, you agreed at the time, and asked me to say, if you don't mean anything to Lord Xiahou, it is impossible to agree."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhan Xing seemed to remember something, "At that time, Lord Xiahou rejected you, and you were still angry. ”
Hua Luo's memory is very good, and she looked at Zhan Xing very seriously: "I remember that I didn't tell you this, where did you hear it?" ”
"It's not a secret that it came from Yanzhou."
Zhan Xing sneered: "Is it true? Looking at you like this, it must be true. ”
"Yes."
Hua Luo admitted: "At that time, I brought him back to the capital to acquiesce that he was my future husband, but then he refused, and I was quite unhappy, but it was mostly because of my pride." ”
"You think, he would rather marry a lame and disfigured, and can't speak Qiao girl, and refuse to be with me, of course I can't erase my face, but then he also explained the reason to me, so I can still understand it."
"Other than that, I have a good feeling, but that feeling is different from talking about marriage, and I can't tell you clearly."
Hua Luo glanced at Zhao Yue: "Are you really unwilling?" ”
"No, I don't." Zhao Yue hurriedly shook her head.
Zhan Xing put his hand on this side and coughed lightly: "Ah Luo, something is wrong with you, why do you only ask Zhaoyue about this kind of thing, I am also eighteen, why don't you care about my life's affairs." ”
"You?" Hua Luo glanced at Zhan Xing lightly, "I'll tell you when I meet the right one in the future, Xiahou is not suitable for you." ”
"Why?" Zhanxing is very curious,
"Xiahou is docile and honest, if you really marry, I'm worried that you will bully him."
"Cut." For this reason, Zhanxing rolled his eyes widely.
"But I'm really worried about your future husband." Hua Luo continued, "You think, you can poison again, you have a bad temper, if one day your husband upsets you, you give me the whole case of poisoning my husband, I will have to be busy." ”
"Okay, Aluo, in your eyes, I am such a person."
Zhanxing raised his eyebrows.
Just as Zhan Xing was about to continue, Hua Luo suddenly felt a sign hanging from her waist whispered.
Hua Luo gestured to stop Zhaoyue and Zhanxing from continuing, and took down the sign.
