Since those two scoundrels returned home, her precarious position in the heart of the Duke has disappeared, and even a basic face has not been left for her.
The Lord of Heaven has not even looked at her these days. Even if his son tried to pull her, he could not call her.
Sure enough, her mother was right. What others have is not as good as what she has. Men cannot be relied on. The only one she can rely on in the future is her son.
Only when her son becomes the Duke of the country can she become the Dowager Lady and have a royal title. And only when a daughter is next to her son can she have a place in the East Palace.
If Yao'er doesn't rely on her own brother, how can she rely on someone with a layer of separation?
Wu finally made up her mind.
On the other side, the Huo family heard that the Duke was coming and was making various preparations.
Huo Da, who had no time to catch up on his sleep, was so nervous that he stretched out his new clothes and looked back and forth, fearing that it would be inappropriate and the Duke of the country would blame him.
My God, their family has to bow their heads even when they see a servant in the county government office. Now they want to eat at the same table as the Duke of Guo?
"Nian'er, did your father really say he was coming?"
Huo Nian smiled and nodded at him: "Yes, grandpa, my father said he had never met you before, so he wanted to make up for his courtesy."
Oops, the Duke is coming to see him, and he wants to make up for the gift! There is really a lot of smoke coming from the ancestral grave.
Thinking about the few plates of things given by the Duke's Mansion, plus those sent by the Duke, Xi'er and Nian'er, the family suddenly became richer and could buy a lot of land in the countryside. Several grandchildren
The children's marriages all involve a generous sum of money and dowry.
Huo Da was very happy.
All this was brought about by the two children. He turned to look at Huo Nian, who was sitting next to him.
She felt very distressed: "Oh, why did you fall? How many more days do you need to recuperate this leg? It hurts your muscles and bones... I heard that you eat what you eat to make up for it. Grandpa will go back and look for you to see if there are any kinds of bones for you.
Buy some and eat more bone marrow to replenish your body."
"Grandpa, don't worry too much. We have hired a doctor to diagnose and treat you. You will be fine after a while."
"Okay. That's good."
Staring at Huo Nian, he used to think that this grandson was different. He thought that if Erhuai could raise such a child, there would be hope for the family to change the family in the future. Unexpectedly, he was not his own child.
However, the child is grateful. An An will have the support of these two brothers and sisters in the future, and the Erhuai family will also get better.
Huo Da's heart was filled with excitement, and he looked at Huo Nian and Huo Xi with excitement.
Huo Daqin and Huo Sanhe looked at these two nephews and nieces. Now they were no longer their nephews and nieces. In the past, they thought that these two children were not a creature of the pond, but this suddenly changed.
"Xi'er, look, you don't just have a brother An'an..."
When Huo Daqin opened his mouth, he was stopped by Huo Da: "If you didn't get enough sleep last night, go catch up on it. What nonsense are you talking about here!"
Why couldn't he understand the meaning behind his eldest son's words?
But can they get along? It is enough for the two children to remember Erhuai's kindness. They should not let these ignorant people in the family disturb the good things, which will affect Erhuai's family, and their love will be used less every time.
Huo Xi glanced at Huo Da.
This grandpa suppressed the rest of the family from coming to the capital, otherwise Huo Daqin and Huo Sanhe would not be the only ones he saw today.
I thought he was quite reasonable. He smiled and said: "If there is a junior in the family who needs it, you can come to my dad and I will make arrangements then."
Huo Erhuai's three brothers all have sons, and the third brother's two sons. Huo Xuan also works as a steward in Guangfeng River. He often goes around with the boats. He has gained good experience and can stand alone. Huo Cang is in the workshop.
In the school, we will soon be able to arrange work.
The fourth-fang's son is only two years older than An'an, while one of the eldest-fang's two sons is married and the other is still at home.
Huo Daqin was a little disappointed, but Huo Sanhe's two sons were taken care of by Huo Xi. He was grateful and didn't say much.
Huo Dayi heard this and said hurriedly: "Now the family is much better off. With your father's help, Dafang also has his own business, the third bedroom also has his own boat, and the fourth bedroom Qing'er is still young and not old enough to do anything.
"
Huo Sipan was dissatisfied, "Dad, you see An An is studying in an academy in the inner city. Why don't you send my Qing'er to the capital as well, live in the second brother's house, and go to the academy with An An. Dad,
Aren’t you looking forward to having a scholar in your family?”
When An'an heard her fourth uncle talking about him, she straightened up. When she heard that it was not about him, she softened again and leaned into Huo Xi's arms with her lips pouted.
Huo Xi pinched his face in a funny way.
When Huo Da heard what his fourth son said, his heart moved. He glanced at An An. Of course he knew that the academy in the capital could not be compared with the private school at home.
When Huo Erhuai saw it, he opened his mouth, but Yang secretly pinched him.
If the small four-bedroom apartment is taken over, will the fourth bedroom also have to be taken over? The third bedroom has a job in the company, and the children of the fourth bedroom live at home and go to school. What about the big apartment? Will it also need to be arranged? Will it be done by then?
The whole family is going to live here?
Huo Erhuai glanced at her and closed his mouth.
Fang saw it and was very dissatisfied with Yang.
"What do you mean? The family has become rich and looks down on us. It's a good thing for children to study. It's because the conditions in the capital are good, so we can only open our mouths. Why, you are an aunt and uncle, and you don't want to help with this? You
Hiring a cook only costs three taels a month, but you can't afford your nephew's schooling?"
Yang was angry, but it was hard to refute Fang.
Huo Xi glanced at her mother and said, "An'an went to school in the inner city because of the convenience. Huo Qing was still young and it was difficult to leave his parents. Grandpa still helped find a book school in his hometown and waited for him to open it.
"Lie Meng, if he studies well in the future, let his parents bring him to Beijing."
When Yang heard this, he immediately straightened up and said, "Exactly, the children in this city are enlightened at the age of two or three. When they get to school, they can keep up. If they can't keep up, they will be tired of learning, which will be bad."
.If Qing'er is able to read in the future, we will take him to Beijing to study. As long as he is willing to study, we, as elders, will do our best to provide for him."
It was her daughter who felt sorry for her and looked towards her. She was raised differently from others. She felt warm in her heart.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fang is dissatisfied, can the countryside be the same as the capital?
Still about to speak, Huo Dabu said: "Then let's do it. Now that the family is not short of money, let Qing'er go to school when we get back. If she studies well, she can also come to Beijing to benefit from his brother and sister."
Huo Sipan's plan fell through and he was dissatisfied. But facing Huo Xi, who had a different identity, he did not dare to talk about it anymore.
Huo Daqin is used to being the boss at home, and his father and mother rely on him a lot. At this time, he wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say anything unpleasant to the eldest lady and the prince of the Duke's residence.
.
No one else could ask for such a relationship, and he didn't dare to offend these two children and break such a good branch.
So, the family looked quite happy and chatted about homely things until Zhang Fu came to the door.
This was the first time for Zhang Fu to meet relatives from the hometown of the adoptive father of his two children. He was very grateful to the family. He dined with them at Huo's house and talked to them in a friendly manner.
Huo Da and others were flattered.
"Don't be restrained. Brother Erhuai raised my two children. Wen Bi is grateful and has nothing to repay. If you need him in the future, just ask. The two families will treat each other as real relatives."
"Okay, okay..."
Huo Da didn't know what to say.
I didn't expect that the high-ranking Duke of the country could be so approachable. I heard that he was a great general who was highly regarded by the emperor and commanded thousands of troops. He actually said that he made the two families move around like relatives.
Huo Da became excited and drank too much.
Huo Da, Qin and Huo Sipan also didn't want to miss such an opportunity to make good friends, so they frequently persuaded him to drink. When changing glasses, Zhang Fu was also slightly drunk.
After the wine was over and everyone dispersed, Zhang Fu only had time to say a few words to his children before returning to the mansion and went back to the courtyard to sleep.
Huo Xi and Huo Nian also went back to their own yards to settle down.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and everything in the Duke's Mansion is quiet. He is walking on the moon and walking on the stars to talk back.
After hearing this, Huo Xi waved him away, leaving him still staring at Wenxinyuan. Mother Ma came over and said, "Girl, what are your plans?"
Huo Xi was silent: "Just pretend that you don't know."
"Then, where is the young master?"
"No need to tell him."
"That's fine."
After Mother Ma went out, Huo Xi sat alone in the study until the sky turned white.
While she was still catching up on her sleep, Amber shook her awake: "Girl, something big has happened!"
Huo Xi sat up and asked, "What happened?"
"Girl, I can't wake you up!"
"What? Please tell me in detail."
At the beginning of Yinchu, the servants went to the British government room to wake him up. It was time for him to get up and prepare to go to court.
But no matter how the servants called him, the room was quiet. The servants thought that the Duke was too tired and wanted to let him sleep a little longer. However, when he called again after a while, the room was still quiet.
There is no sound.
The servants felt that something was wrong, so they pushed open the door and went to call him, but they could not wake him up.
Wenxinyuan was in a panic. Zhang Jin came over and pinched, patted and called the person, but there was no response. Then he hurriedly called the imperial doctor.
"Several doctors came here, but they couldn't explain what the disease was. The doctor said that the Duke's complexion was as usual, and he didn't look lifeless at all, but he just couldn't wake him up. Girl, what should I do?"
The girl and the young master have just returned to the house, and the position of the heir apparent has not yet been firmly established. If the Duke of Guo has an emergency, will the girl and the young master be fine?
Amber was so anxious that layers of sweat broke out on her forehead, and Vanilla and others also gathered around anxiously.
"Girl, do you want me to go to the Duke of Guizhou's mansion?"
The madam hurriedly called the young lady and the young master over. She heard that the Duke of Guo had dinner at Huo's house yesterday and drank a lot of wine. She wanted to call the young lady and the young master over to ask questions.
"That's right, you go to the Duke of Guizhou's mansion quickly. If they have bad intentions, someone can help us!" Vanilla and others urged Amber.
Huo Xi got out of bed and let the girls wait for her to dress and wash, and said, "Don't panic, wait until I go to see you."
Just as he was saying this, before Huo Xi could finish cleaning up, the two nuns beside Mrs. Tai had already come over, with unkind expressions and cold tones: "Miss, Mrs. Tai asked you to come over here!"
