After two days, everything was arranged, and Zhang Fu came in person to take the siblings back to his home.
After getting off the carriage, Huo Xi stood at the gate of the British Palace, looking up at the plaque on the door.
In a few years, the Marquis's Mansion in Xincheng turned into the British Duke's Mansion. A few years ago, she was still here watching him hugging Zhang Jie and laughingly watching people throwing money around.
"Nanny?" Zhang Fu looked at her.
Thinking that she was afraid, "Don't be afraid, this is a new mansion given by the emperor. You have never lived in it. Father has chosen a spacious and beautiful courtyard for you. Nian'er's is also the same. I guarantee that you will like it."
Huo Xi looked at him, "That year, when Zhang Jie was one year old, you were here with a smile on your face, hugging him to welcome guests from all over the world, and watching the servants scatter basket after basket of wedding money. I was right there,
Among the beggars collecting lucky money."
After hearing this, Huo Nian looked at her sister sadly.
Zhang Fu was stunned.
Zhang Jin, who was standing next to him, felt a little sad after hearing this. He glanced at the Duke, then at the eldest lady and the young master, and lowered his head.
The servants standing nearby all heard it, and their heads hung down.
"Nanny..." Why don't you come to find your father?
Zhang Fu wanted to ask but couldn't.
Huo Xi reached out to Huo Nian: "Let's go, this is your future home."
Huo Nian stretched out his hand to his sister, held it tightly, pursed his lips, and followed his sister to raise her legs and cross the high threshold.
"Father, take you in." Zhang Fu took two hurried steps and walked beside his sister and brother. He calmed down his emotions and introduced the mansion to them, which was still unfamiliar to them.
Everyone followed in with a roar.
The two janitors at the door stared blankly at the backs of everyone in front of them, "Are those the eldest lady and young master who grew up outside?"
"How can there be any trace of muddy legs here? Who told you that the eldest lady and young master are ugly? I will tear their mouths apart!"
"Otherwise, we can say that we are legitimate children. This temperament is stronger than those raised in the house..."
The main hall of the Duke's Mansion was full of people.
When the prince returned, all the masters of the palace, big and small, were sitting in the main hall to greet them. The wife was sitting at the head of the table, who could be absent?
Most of the second and third bedrooms are curious. Both of them rely on the Duke's Mansion for their living. Since the wife is here and there is no separate mansion, of course she has to follow the footsteps of the eldest son. Whoever becomes the heir to the eldest son will not affect the second and third bedrooms.
Everyone in the big room had different expressions.
Unexpectedly, the original wife’s children are still there, and the step-wife’s son who was promised to inherit the throne has now been replaced!
When Huo Nian walked into the main hall, he saw a room full of people sitting in the hall. He just glanced at them, big and small, and didn't know who was who.
Huo Xi felt her hands tighten, knowing her brother was nervous, so she squeezed and silently comforted him.
I glanced at the door and saw that there were many people. In addition to the master, there were also useful grandmothers and maids. The wife was sitting in the front seat, and the seat on the right was empty. There were people sitting on both sides. There were so many people that the junior even reserved the second row of seats.
The seats are full.
With three houses and the wife, there are only seven eldest masters. But the wife has so many grandchildren.
There are three sons and five daughters in the eldest house, four sons and three daughters in the second house, and three sons and one daughter in the third house. The wife has ten sons and nine granddaughters. Including the servants, it is quite a mess.
Everyone in the room also looked at the two siblings.
I had heard a lot of news, and when I suddenly saw a real person, I couldn't help but look at him.
Huo Xi and Nian'er are good-looking themselves. In addition, their families have lived a good life in recent years, so they have never been short of material things. In terms of education, they are not bad either.
Nian'er has been taught by his teacher all these years. He is good at literature and martial arts, and he is also confident. He is not big, has a tall and straight figure, and is energetic. As the heir apparent of the Duke's palace, he is very capable.
And Huo Xi has been traveling around these years, running such a large business, and meeting many shopkeepers and business partners. Her temperament is not comparable to that of a woman who is locked up in a big house and rarely sees the light of day.
The appearance of the two siblings shocked the masters and servants of all sizes.
They all thought that it would be a bit unbearable for the two of them to live outside and be adopted by a fishing family. As the noble daughter and heir apparent of the Duke's palace, they would probably be in trouble.
Looking at it, what can’t be done? It’s so good!
Huo Xi and Huo Nian stepped into the hall, and Wu's eyes shrank.
It's these two bastards!
If I had known, after the conflict between them and Xie'er on Meihua Mountain, I should have sent someone to deal with them and drive them away from the capital. I didn't expect that I was so merciful that I gave these two bastards a chance to do harm.
It's her business.
Zhang Jie sat next to his mother with an annoyed look on his face. He originally wanted to give this man named Huo Nian a slap in the face, but unexpectedly he was stunned when he saw him.
Then he quickly realized: "It's you!"
He had two conflicts with this boy, how could he not remember it! This commoner has become his father's flesh and blood, and even robbed him of his position as heir apparent!
Huo Nian already knew him. He glanced at him lightly and looked away without moving.
When he came here, his sister, Aunt Ma and Aunt An all taught him the rules and he would not embarrass his mother.
Zhang Jie wanted to rush over, but Wu hurriedly stopped him. He sat back reluctantly, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"Sister Ning, I am the third uncle. Do you still remember the third uncle?"
Zhang Fu was a little excited. His little niece, who was riding on his neck and being lifted up and spun around in circles, had grown so big.
Huo Xi smiled at him and nodded: "Third uncle."
"Hey, hey, Sister Ning still remembers Uncle San!"
"I remember, my third uncle secretly bought me a lot of food from outside."
Zhang Fu laughed a few times, it was great. Sister Ning was still alive. When he heard that Sister Ning was gone, he was sad for a long time.
"Sister Ning only remembers your third uncle, but not your second uncle?" Zhang Xi also said with a smile.
Huo Xi also smiled and nodded at him: "Second uncle." Then she asked Huo Nian to salute them both.
"Second uncle and third uncle." Huo Nian looked at these two strange elders.
"Okay, just come back. If you have anything to do in the future, just tell your second and third uncles."
"Thank you, second uncle and third uncle."
Zhang Fu looked at it with a smile, "Let's salute your grandmother first, and then father will introduce you to the family members."
The servant placed the futon in front of the madam. Huo Xi only bent his knees and Nian'er kowtowed to her.
The madam looked at the two grandchildren with complicated eyes.
He quietly sighed: "Get up. Just come back. From now on, we are all a family. You must remember that only the family has you. Live in harmony with the family at home, and be careful in your words and deeds outside, and don't lose your sense of proportion."
Huo Nian said yes. Huo Xi didn't move.
Madam Tai looked at Huo Xi, as if waiting for her to answer.
"If anyone is friendly with me, I will wait for him." If someone offends me, I will retaliate.
How could the concubine not hear what Huo Xi said?
She had dealt with Huo Xi and knew that this granddaughter was different from other granddaughters in the family, so she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness now. She just said a few words casually, and that was all.
The servant picked up the futon and placed it in front of Mrs. Wu.
