When Mrs. Yang heard that Huo Xi had enrolled several girls in her family into the clan school, she ran to find her anxiously.
"Xi'er, you don't have to take your parents into the clan school just for their sake."
She was worried that Huo Xi agreed to it because he didn't want to go through with it as a couple.
Her daughter is just soft-hearted. She and Erhuai were just soft-hearted and helped save the two children. But the happiness that the two children have brought to the couple over the years is far more than gold and silver can exchange for.
And they have received enough benefits as a couple.
How can you still trouble your children?
Huo Xi smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, mother, I'm not in trouble."
"Why are you not in trouble? You have accepted five female students at once, and they are all named Huo or related to Huo. You are not afraid that the Zhang clan will say that you are using your power for personal gain."
Mrs. Yang was very worried that people would gossip about her daughter. After hearing the news, Erhuai couldn't sit still and urged her to come over.
"It's really okay, mother. Besides, Huo Fei, Huo Zhu, Huo Dan and the others won't be able to study for a year or two, and they will go home to get married. Only Wei He and Wei Ni can study for a few more years. And they will pay half of the tuition. I
They are not exempted from all fees. They are only given a chance. If they cannot keep up, or are excluded and cannot stay, that is their own business, and I will not care about it."
"You kid is still too kind-hearted."
Yang sighed and patted Huo Xi's hand: "I heard that you asked them all to go home, and only kept a few girls at home, and asked them all to go home?"
Huo Xi nodded: "I told them that if you want your daughter to stay and learn skills, don't disturb them by being around them. Just leave them in the Huo family and be taken care of by you and dad. If they all stay, it won't affect Huo Zhu.
If their parents' behavior affects them, they will be criticized. If it prevents them from going to school, then I don't care."
Yang laughed: "They sent their daughters to the Zhang clan to study. Do you think others don't know about Sima Zhao's intentions? For the sake of their daughters, they don't dare to stay in the capital."
"Will it cause trouble to my parents? All five of them have to stay at home."
Yang patted her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, my mother can afford to support them. And your grandfather said that each of them should pay for the accommodation, food and clothing expenses of the children."
If they can't afford it and can't afford to live in the city, take them back as soon as possible. They grit their teeth and keep all their money."
"It's not that Mom is short of money, but she just doesn't want to be taken advantage of. Wear a hat as big as your head is. If you can't wear it, take her home as soon as possible."
"Mom, you're right to think so. They can stay, but they can't all come to trouble you and dad."
Huo Xi feels that Grandpa Huo Da is really a sensible old man.
"I just thought that a girl would have a hard time in this world. In the future, she would have to marry into someone else's family, serve her parents-in-law, take care of the boys and children, and would be trapped in the back house. There would be few relaxing days in her life. I thought
Sending them to a girls' school will save them a year or two."
"Mom understands, and I will take good care of them. Mom also hopes that your life will be relaxed and happy, now and in the future. Just like when you were a child, you can do whatever you want and whatever makes you happy."
"Well, when I was a child, living on the boat with my parents was the most relaxing time."
"My son."
Yang held her in her arms and felt very emotional. The days when she adopted Xi'er and Nian'er and kept them by her side were also the happiest days for her and Erhuai.
When Mrs. Yang returned home, she saw that people in several rooms were packing their luggage. She even asked them a few words and invited them to stay longer.
Several people in the house knew that she had just returned from the British government. They were afraid that she would offend her and make Huo Xi refuse to accept their daughter, so they all said they were going back to their hometown.
Without much persuasion, Yang talked to Huo Erhuai about Huo Xi's marriage, "I'm afraid that Xi'er and Master Mu are about to get married. Will we also have a child and prepare a dowry?"
Huo Erhuai was stunned at first. The daughter he raised by his side was going to get married?
I still vaguely remember that when she was so young, she threw herself in front of him and begged him for help in a panic, with a look of trust on her face.
"Okay, let's get ready then."
Huo Da returned home with several of his family members, and a few girls stayed behind. Huo Xi sent Huo Fei and the others to the clan school. After explaining to the clan school, seeing that they adapted well, he left them alone.
.
As for the Mu family, Yu Wenying was bald for several days and locked herself in her room without eating or drinking for several days before she figured it out.
No matter how things happened that night, it has become an established fact.
She plotted against others, and others plotted against her.
She was still scheming against others in other people's houses, and was eventually found out by the other party, who then turned against her. She deserved it.
She doesn't even have a reason to reason. She doesn't blame anyone.
Yu Wenying accepted her fate.
Being unfamiliar with people and places in the capital, she didn’t know who else to rely on. Her partner, Mrs. Geng, didn’t even utter a sound when she learned that the person who entered the waterside pavilion that night was the fourth master.
I didn't even say a word for her.
She knew that it was time for her to accept her fate. She was helpless. Yu Wenying cried until her voice became hoarse, and finally accepted her fate.
The fourth master is still young, and he seems to be in his prime. Although he has been married and has a legitimate son, the fourth master is a good man. In these years, the princess was the only one in the house. After the princess left, she did not even have a concubine by her side.
Never used.
In the Yu family, her father had several concubines and many concubines. Her eldest brother, who was the most prosperous and outstanding heir to the next generation of the family, also had several women in his house.
She should be content.
"Tell the fourth master that I agree. Let him hire someone to get married. Also, send a reply to the Yunnan side, saying that my marriage is settled, and the marriage will be simple, and there is no need to send someone from the family."
Yu Wenying's maid felt very distressed when she saw her giving up and accepting the reality.
How could her young lady end up marrying someone else to fill a house and become a stepmother? "Miss..." she started crying.
Yu Wenying also smiled at her and comforted her: "Why are you crying? The Fourth Master is fine, the room is quiet, and Mrs. Yan has a good temper, and she won't try to tease me in the future. Isn't it great that I can marry in the capital?"
What? Why are you crying?"
"But the fourth master has a son." Even if her young lady gave birth to a son, she would still be outnumbered.
"Silly girl, there is no title for the fourth brother to inherit, so what's the difference between the eldest son and the second son? And there is an older brother who is the grandson of the emperor. As long as the younger siblings have a good relationship with the older brother, are they afraid that they will have no future in the future?"
"Miss..." Poor young lady, this is accepting her fate.
The invitation from the Fourth Master of the Duke of Guizhou was quickly delivered to Huo Xi.
Huo Xi looked at the big red wedding invitation and let out a long sigh.
This is fine. Although the fourth master, Mu Xin, is older than Yu Wenying, he is a man under thirty years old and is of the right age. The most rare thing is that Mu Xin is a clean and self-sufficient man. If Yu Wenying marries him, he will have a peaceful life in the future.
