He was led by the servants of the Duke of Guizhou to the flower hall where guests were entertained.
Mrs. Geng was sitting at the head of the flower hall, and a young woman was sitting next to her. When she saw Huo Xi coming in, she stood up and saluted: "Wenying has met Miss Zhang."
Huo Xi had already guessed her identity, glanced at her, and returned the gift. He also greeted Mrs. Geng, who was sitting in the front seat.
"sit down."
Mrs. Geng saw Huo Xi sitting down and began to look at her.
In terms of appearance, this girl is better than Miss Yu. Not to mention her elegant temperament, coupled with her inherent nobility, how can she be compared to a business woman from far away in the southwest border?
Pity.
"I heard that the eldest lady's ship has returned from Nanyang?"
Huo Xi was stunned. Is Mr. Geng asking about her? Why bring this up at this time?
"It's all the manager's fault." He didn't say much.
"I heard that the eldest lady has been engaged in business these years? I originally thought that you and Wenying should be able to talk, so I asked you to come and keep her company. She has just arrived in Beijing. She has never been to many places, and she doesn't know many people.
One. Then I invited Miss Zhang to come to my house. I didn’t expect that when I asked her just now, she didn’t know anything about what was going on at home. She said she was just locked in her room by her parents to make some female celebrities and learn some music, chess, calligraphy and painting.”
The corners of Huo Xi's mouth curled up, with a smile on her face.
Yu Wenying was very modest, "It made Mrs. Tai and Miss Zhang laugh. We are a small place. No matter how well we learn, how can we learn as well as a noble girl from the capital? I don't know what musical instruments the eldest girl knows. I just happen to bring a few."
The musical instruments are all made by famous artists, and the family spent a lot of money to buy them, just in time to learn from the older girls."
It seems that the person who invited her here today is Yu Wenying.
Want to learn piano skills from her? Then should you ask her to fish and sell goods?
"It seems that Miss Yu has really just arrived in the capital and has not inquired about me outside. When I was a child, I didn't even have enough to eat, so I was busy fishing and selling fish with my adoptive father. I didn't know any musical instruments. My grandfather even wrote a letter to reprimand me, saying
I haven't learned anything from my mother."
Her maternal grandfather was a priest of the Imperial Academy. Who was your maternal grandfather?
Yu Wenying understood what she said and gritted his teeth.
"You still exchange letters with your grandfather? You are such a good boy. You see in this capital, if there is an exiled relative in the family, they would just want to cut off the relationship early. You kid, you can still think about your grandfather, really
It’s rare.”
Mrs. Geng said with a smile.
Huo Xi looked at her and said with a smile: "That's really worse than a beast. If a person forgets where he comes from, living is really a waste of food."
There was suddenly an eerie silence in the flower hall.
Mrs. Geng looked at Huo Xi and felt more and more that this woman could not be married into the family.
Whether she is in the capital or in Yunnan, it is impossible to live a peaceful life with such a woman at home.
He refuses to take any loss and is not forgiving of others. He is afraid that the family will be uneasy.
Yu Wenying couldn't help but wonder what Huo Xi meant by these words.
Is it to remind myself to remember where I came from, just as a businessman? Isn't it worthy of fighting with her?
She was in Yunnan, and there were many families seeking to marry her. The family had been picking and choosing, but they had not decided on her marriage. After getting the advice of the Mu family, they chose her to go to Beijing.
When she came to the capital and was surrounded by famous ladies, she was very unsure of herself.
The eldest young master’s biological mother also thought that her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes. Only the madam always supported her.
Yu Wenying gritted his teeth, but instead aroused his fighting spirit.
The family chose her and sent her all the way to Beijing. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to go back. The family had sent her the dowry with her, so if she went back, wouldn't it make people laugh?
"Young lady, what you said is not right. If you go back a few generations, who knows where someone is from? The status you have today does not mean that you will have the same status in the future. Otherwise, if you have the same status all the time, then why are there so many scholars?"
"Is Miss Yu thinking too much? I'm not talking about identity issues."
Huo Xi looked at her.
"I think those people who want to cut off ties with relatives because of trouble are worse than animals. I have never looked down on anyone's background. I was happy at home when I was a child, and I was also happy on a fishing boat when I grew up.
, now living in the Duke’s Mansion, I still feel happy. No matter where I come from or what environment I am in, I try to make myself happy. I have never forgotten where I came from, and I have never been concerned about the current situation at every stage.
complain."
Yu Wenying's face burned.
She clearly heard the other party keep showing her superior status.
The madam looked at the two of them separately and said, "Miss Zhang, you haven't been to our house, have you? Let Wenying take you to the garden. You young people, we just happen to have a chat together."
Okay, if you are familiar with it, you can lead the way.
Huo Xi didn't want to have a verbal argument with her and stood up.
He walked outside and took a look at the gift boxes held in the hands of Amber and others.
"Send one box to Mrs. Yan Tai, and send the remaining two boxes to Mrs. Guogong. Amber, don't follow me, go and talk about old times with your old master and friends."
"Yes. Thank you, girl." Amber took Qiu Shuang and held the box. Dong Xue looked at it and followed a few steps behind his girl.
When Yu Wenying heard this, she glanced at Huo Xi again. Why was the girl next to her a member of the Duke's wife?
Does she have a good relationship with the Duke's wife? Then how can she please the Duke's wife?
Although the Dowager Queen supports her, the Duke's wife is the eldest young master's biological mother.
"Miss Zhang," Yu Wenying said.
"I heard your story and really wanted to get to know you. You are a girl from a well-known family. You have lived outside for ten years and now you have returned to your family with your younger brother. I have been thinking about how you got here during those ten years.
If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."
"If you have something in mind that you want to do, you can get through it."
Yu Wenying shook her head: "I'm afraid I can't do it. I have listened to my parents since I was a child. My parents asked me to read and write, so I read and write. They asked me to learn female red, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I followed my husband.
Even if I don’t like it, I never complain. Now my family has asked me to come to the capital again..."
Yu Wenying spoke softly.
After a pause, he added: "Miss Zhang, I have heard rumors about you and the eldest young master..."
Huo Xi looked at her, wondering what she was going to say.
"Miss Zhang, you are from a good background and you are capable, much better than me. I am different from you. I will only obey my parents and the arrangements of my family. I can't help myself. If I can't marry the eldest young master, I will
I’m afraid I won’t be able to go back to Yunnan.”
Yu Wenying was a little sad.
The family married my aunt to the Mu family because they wanted her to give the Marquis a son and support the family in the future.
Unexpectedly, her uncle died young and her aunt did not give birth to a son and a half daughters. Now the family sent her to the Mu Mansion and asked her to marry the eldest young master.
Young Master Mu doesn't know if he has a chance to seize the throne.
But Dad said that Master Mu is capable and will have a bright future.
Even if he can't seize the title, the Duke of Guo will always be his biological father. If the Yu family can marry again with the Mu family, it will be of great benefit to the family. The influence of the eldest young master is much stronger than that of the aunt.
"So, are your family trying to force Mu Yan to submit?"
