This time, war-related illnesses were widespread in coastal counties due to strong winds. Huo Erhuai was afraid that people from other places would come over and affect the Huojiaba family, so he brought them all to the capital.
Even Huo Wuniang's family lived in Huo Erhuai's house.
A large family does nothing every day. They just act like rich people at home and order the servants of the Huo family.
It gave Yang a headache.
It's not that I can't afford it, it's just that it's not comfortable for anyone to come into someone else's house and point fingers at their own house.
Huo Xi went to sea to find Mu Yan before, but she was not in the house. Huo Wuniang and others wanted to find her, but they couldn't come. What can they say to the Hou family? Can they catch up and chat?
They also have self-awareness. Without Huo Xi, who would know them.
As soon as Huo Xi came back, Huo Wuniang and others came to the door with their children.
Huo Wuniang took Wei Ling and Wei He, the first-fang Mao took her daughter Huo Zhu, the third-fang Niu took her two daughters Huo Fei and Huo Dan, and the fourth-fang Du took her two children, Huo Qing and Huo Dan.
Ni.
The three girls, Huo Zhu, Huo Fei and Huo Dan, are close in age and are already at the age of marriage.
These three girls have come to the capital and have seen enough of the prosperity of the capital. If they are asked to go back to their hometowns to find someone with poor legs to marry, not only themselves, but their parents will not be happy either.
Huo Ni is still young at six or seven years old. There is no need to worry about her marriage now.
But she couldn't help it that Mrs. Du had grand visions. If she let her daughter follow her second uncle in the capital and raised her lovingly from an early age, wouldn't she be able to marry into a wealthy family in the capital in the future?
No matter how much Huo Erhuai and Yang made explicit hints, they would act as if they couldn't hear them, and they would never want to return to their hometown again.
"Look at Xi'er, look at your magnanimity now. Who would have thought that our Xi'er would be the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion!" The Mao family looked at Huo Xi who flew up the branch and sighed.
When I saw Huo Erhuai and his wife returning home with Huo Xi, who had a different style, I was just secretly jealous.
I think Huo Erhuai had a little money and dressed his daughter up like a young lady from the city.
Quite disdainful.
But secretly, he also dressed up his daughter. As they are both descendants of the Huo family, they can't lag too far behind.
But who would have thought that this Huo Xi is not a girl from the Huo family! She flew up to the branch with one move, and even the horse couldn't catch up.
Huo Zhu and others looked at Huo Xi with envy. Wei He could not even imagine that her family had also moved into the city and had a house in the outer city, but they were still not as good as this cousin.
Their status is far inferior to that of others, but if they stay in the capital and marry into a high-ranking family in the future, they can also enjoy such a life of constant support and support.
They have their own thoughts in mind.
Mrs. Niu from the third bedroom didn't want to come. Of her two sons, the eldest one is working as a steward in Guangfeng River and can earn dozens of taels of silver a year. The younger one is studying in the workshop's school and will soon be
It's time to leave school.
She kept her gratitude in mind and did not want to cause trouble to her second brother, second sister-in-law and Huo Xi, for fear that Huo Xi would get tired of them and it would be detrimental to the future of her two sons.
But the two sisters-in-law dragged her and refused to let her go, so she had no choice but to follow. The two daughters also wanted to come, but she herself had never been to the Duke's Mansion, and she wanted to come and have a look.
Du, the fourth-brother, has regretted countless times. If she had not behaved well and married into a high family, even if she had become a concubine, she would have had such a life of being a slave. But now that she has children, it is useless to think about it anymore.
Now the opportunity is in front of her again. She can't miss it.
"Xi'er, look at your cousin," Du Shi pushed Huo Ni.
"You see, your cousin has grown up so much. You sisters haven't had much kissing. She happens to be quite smart. Xi'er, why don't you keep her by your side and be a servant? Let her follow you. If
If she can learn a little bit, she will be good enough."
Huo Ni was pushed by her mother and staggered. She was quite nervous when she saw her cousin, who had become a noble lady, looking at her.
"Tang, cousin..." I greeted him timidly, not sure if I could call her cousin again. I was afraid that Huo Xi would be angry after calling her.
Huo Xi was not angry with a child, so she smiled at her and asked the girl to bring her some fruit and snacks.
Looking at Mrs. Du, she said: "Fourth Aunt, the girls around me are quite capable, and they have all signed contracts. It's not appropriate to let Sister Ni stay with me as long as I beat and scold her."
Du Shi also heard that Huo Xi refused.
I feel so sorry.
If the daughter can live in the Duke's Mansion, not to mention that when her daughter goes out in the future, she will be looked upon favorably by others, and she will not have to worry about her future marriage. And she can also visit her daughter and often go in and out of the Duke's Mansion...
Unwilling to be reconciled, he added: "I heard that the Duke's office has set up a clan school, and even An An from the second brother's family has been sent there. Do you think your brother Qing and sister Ni can help send them in too?"
Just look at the second brother's An An, who has only been in school for less than a year, and has already transformed. Although they have the same grandma, An An looks very different from their brothers.
And since he has two older brothers and sisters to help him, his future prospects will be good. The distance will only widen.
She also wanted to put her two children into the Zhang clan school.
When it comes to the future of the children, Mao couldn't sit still, "Yes, yes, I heard that the Zhang clan school has a female school and accepts female students. Do you think you can send your sister Zhu to it too?"
"
After Mao finished speaking, Niu thought of her two daughters and couldn't help but look at Huo Xi with burning eyes.
Huo Xi looked at the three sisters Huo Zhu, Huo Fei and Huo Dan. The eldest Huo Fei was fifteen years old, Huo Zhu was fourteen years old, and Huo Dan was thirteen. He felt a little embarrassed when he saw that they were all staring at him.
"It is stipulated in the ethnic culture that when a girl reaches the age of fifteen, she will go home to be married..."
These three people are quite young.
Huo Fei was a little disappointed. This was her last chance. She wanted to learn something and get ahead like the noble ladies in the capital.
It would be better if there was no one to compare with. There was a cousin in front of her to compare with. Not only was she the same as the cousin from the Duke's Mansion, but she could even be half the same as her. She didn't want to marry back to the countryside.
Before Mrs. Mao and Mrs. Niu spoke, Mrs. Du pushed her daughter Huo Ni with a happy face, "Your sister Ni is not yet seven years old, she is just right!" She strongly recommended her daughter.
Huo Ni was embarrassed by her mother's remarks. Why didn't she know that her mother was so eloquent?
Mao and Niu also felt sorry for their daughters. Now that they had come to the capital, they no longer wanted to marry their daughters to the countryside.
I wish I could fill my daughter in with some skills that wealthy people should learn.
Huo Wuniang was not willing to let Huo Xi forget her family's Wei He and Wei Ling, so she pushed the two children in front of Huo Xi.
Huo Xi had a severe headache.
Not seeing Huo Fei and Huo Zhu shed tears in front of her, she felt soft-hearted and said, "We can't all go. Let the younger sisters go, and the younger brothers should find other academies." We can't send the whole family away.
As for ethnic studies, there are few female students, so sending a few over can liven up the atmosphere.
Huo Xi still wanted to develop a female school and make some achievements.
This era is too harsh on women. If they can have a place where they can relax when they are young, when things go wrong in the future, they can still feel a touch of warmth and joy when they recall the relaxed days when they were young.
Huo Wuniang looked at her son and daughter, "Can't you send them both?"
Huo Xi had a straight face, "Either send Wei Ling or Wei He, you choose one!"
The cold voice frightened Mrs. Du, who originally wanted to ask if she could send her son and daughter along, but stopped talking, "Then let me send Ni'er."
Mrs. Du thought very clearly that her daughter was somewhat spiritual. If she had been surrounded by wealth since she was a child, she might be able to marry into a high-ranking family in the future. But her son was probably not gifted in reading, and it would be the same if he was studying in an academy.
If you have the ability, come back and ask for your support.
