As early as when the county lord of Dingxiang went to Huizhenguan, Minghui had heard of her appearance from the mouth of never too late, and they all said that the county lord of Dingxiang was a beauty, and she was also a beauty who looked very shrewd and powerful.

After a few years, Minghui saw this beauty for the first time.

The county lord of Dingxiang is still very beautiful, with exquisite makeup and clothing, but after all, he is not young, and there are traces of time in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Seeing Ming Hui, the county lord of Dingxiang was surprised and delighted: "Ah, this is the girl of the Ming family, I came by coincidence, I didn't expect the girl of the Ming family to be in the capital." ”

Minghui smiled: "It's really a coincidence, I didn't expect the county lord to come over." ”

The county lord of Dingxiang looked at Minghui up and down, and said with a smile: "The last time I went to Huizhen Temple, Mrs. Sun was full of praise for you, but unfortunately you happened not to be in the temple that time, and then I heard that you were sick, alas, I have been worried for a long time, and when I see you today, my heart can finally be put down, it is really a person like his name, a good appearance like a flower." ”

Saying that, the county lord of Dingxiang took off a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets from his hand: "Look, I didn't prepare, this pair of bracelets is still the makeup given by the elders in the family when I got married, so let's take it for you to wear and play." ”

Minghui thanked her with a smile, and let the county lord of Dingxiang affectionately take her hand and put the pair of bracelets on her.

Seeing that Minghui did not refuse, the county lord of Dingxiang seemed to have confidence, and looked at Huo Yu on the side with a smile: "If the Hou Ye knows that the girl of the Ming family has come to the capital, he must be very happy, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the sister-in-law of the flag is also here today, let's go back to the Hou Mansion to sit together, and the sister-in-law of the flag has not been there for several years." ”

Huo Yu patiently waited for the county lord of Dingxiang to finish speaking, and replied expressionlessly: "Don't go." ”

Minghui couldn't help laughing, obviously there were a hundred excuses for refusal, but Huo Yu didn't use them all, but chose the most direct and shortest way.

The smile of the county lord of Dingxiang froze on his face, the corners of Han's eyes twitched, and he hurriedly played a round: "Miss Ming is going back tomorrow, I don't know that the county lord will come, I'm afraid I won't be prepared, but it doesn't matter, Baoding and the capital are so close, the county lord wants to be close to Miss Ming, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”

The tone of the county lord of Dingxiang finally eased: "Yes, yes, it's all my thoughtlessness, so wait for next time, next time ......"

It may be that the county lord of Dingxiang felt that Minghui was better to get along with than Huo Yu, so he said a lot of polite words to Minghui, and looked at Huo Yu with a peek, and saw that Huo Yu had already written impatience on his face, and the county lord of Dingxiang said goodbye unsatisfied.

Sending off the county lord of Dingxiang, Minghui's first visit to the door officially began.

Han sent a jade pendant of blue grass to Minghui as a meeting gift, Minghui also sent a set of four treasures of the study to Huo Cheng, Minghui is a girl who has not yet married, and there is no mother's family to follow, the evening banquet is not suitable, the banquet is set at noon, but it was delayed by the county lord of Dingxiang, and it was already afternoon after eating.

Han Shi and Minghui talked for a while, and then went back to their room under the excuse that they were a little tired.

Huo Yu smiled and said to Minghui, "I'll accompany you around." ”

The two came out of the hall and walked to the backyard, Huo Yu told her: "This yard is about the same size as the one in Yuexiu Hutong, it was originally a second courtyard, when my grandfather bought this kind of yard, he bought a vacant land behind the yard, I was thinking about planting vegetables and flowers in the future, but unfortunately my mother returned to my hometown, and the vacant land was also idle. But I didn't change the plaque at the door, so the gatehouse and the gate didn't change, if you like to bring the gatehouse, then I changed the plaque, let the craftsman repair the gate. ”

According to the ritual system of this dynasty, only official residences can build gatehouses at the gate, and build steps above three steps, and the gate is also different from ordinary houses.

Huo Yu has an official body, and his house can be repaired according to the official house, but the plaque of this house is the Feng Mansion, but the Feng family is white, so if you want to build a gatehouse, you must first replace the plaque at the door, otherwise it will be seen by the imperial history one day, and it will be impeached again.

Minghui shook her head: "No need to change it, it's so troublesome, it's good to be like this now." ”

Anyway, they won't live in this house in the capital permanently, it doesn't matter if it's Feng Mansion or Huo Mansion.

Besides, if this house is really surnamed Huo, it can only be called the Huo family courtyard, after all, the Hou of Changping is still alive and well, the Huo family is not divided, and there can be no two Huo Mansions, now it is the Feng Mansion, outsiders will only laugh at the Hou Mansion of Changping, but if it is changed to Huo Mansion, the person who was excerpted in the imperial history will become Huo Yu.

In that case, why bother looking for trouble.

Huo Yu saw that Minghui didn't care, so he didn't talk more about this issue, he said as he walked: "The second courtyard is the outer study, and the usual guests are also there, the eldest aunt and Ah Cheng came over, and they also live in the second courtyard for the time being, and I now live in the third courtyard, originally this house was bare, these flowers and plants were added by the eldest uncle, and so was the maid and mother-in-law." ”

While speaking, the two walked into the courtyard of Sanjin, and Minghui saw the red swing on the side of the courtyard at a glance.

Seeing that Minghui was looking at the swing, Huo Yu suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "...... It was originally placed in the second courtyard, but it was moved over a few days ago, and if you think it's not good to put it here, I'll move it back. ”

Minghui chuckled, she didn't need to ask to know that this swing was for her.

“...... It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful swing, when I was a child in the mountains, Uncle Haiquan made a swing for me with rattan and wooden planks, and I always swing so high that I can see a lot of distance......"

"Would you like to give it a try?" Huo Yu said softly.

Minghui shook her head: "It's better not to, next time." ”

She only decided to come over today yesterday afternoon, she has not yet arrived, the county lord of Dingxiang arrived first, and I don't know who is the eyes and ears of the county lord of Dingxiang in this house, she swings today, and the county lord of Dingxiang will know tomorrow, although this is a bright thing, but Minghui just doesn't want her business to be talked about.

Huo Yu didn't know that Minghui had scruples, and thought she was shy and embarrassed.

He diverted the topic and said, "Next time you come to the capital, I will accompany you to have a good walk, I heard that there are many scenery near the capital." ”

"Heard? You haven't been? Minghui asked.

"I haven't been there, although I have been in the capital for a year, but at that time the situation was difficult, I didn't dare to take it lightly, almost all of my food and accommodation were in the camp, and even here I rarely came back, let alone went out to shop." Huo Yu explained.

Minghui knew that after Huo Yu was transferred from Weihui to the capital, he was in the Jingwei camp of Feiyuwei, and Minghui suddenly remembered the vendor she saw on the way here.

She subconsciously looked around, and Huo Yu said, "Are you tired?" Why don't you go and sit in the small study? ”
