Mrs. Hu returned safely from Jinling. The person who escorted her all the way to Jinling was Ji Feihua's horseman Wu Renxing. When she came back, Wu Renxing had disappeared. On the way, Xu Fengyi had received the news that her son had returned to Kangdu safely, and she was even more heartbroken.
Like an arrow, he wished he could see his son right away. On the way, he heard all kinds of majestic deeds about his son, and also heard that his son only pretended to be an eunuch to enter the palace. Now the imperial court has restored his identity and named him deputy imperial guard.
Commander, Xu Fengyi is even more pleased.⊙
When the carriage and horses arrived at Shififiling Pavilion, they saw a group of people waiting by the roadside in front. Xu Fengyi listened to the driver's announcement and was shocked at first. Recently, there has been chaos everywhere in Dakang. Could it be that she encountered a strong man? But then she thought,
This place is close to the imperial capital, at the feet of the emperor, and it is said that such a thing would not happen.
The attendant who was sent to investigate the situation ran back happily and said from a distance: "Madam, the young master is here to pick you up!"
Xu Fengyi felt comforted in her heart. She opened the car curtain and looked out, only to see that the group of people in the distance were already approaching her. The one running at the front was her precious son Hu Xiaotian, whom she missed day and night. Xu Fengyi
Trembling: "Stop the car! Stop the car quickly!"
The coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage, and Xu Fengyi opened the door and jumped out. At this time, Hu Xiaotian had already come to her and turned over Xiao Hui. Although the wound on his thigh had not healed yet, there was still some pain from the pulling. This could not be reconciled with the mother and son.
Compared with the joy of reunion, he walked quickly to his mother in three steps, knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said with tears: "Mom! My unfilial son, Xiaotian, kowtows to you!"
Xu Fengyi's eyes were red, and she hugged her son. The worries and grievances of these days all turned into tears and rolled down. In a short time, the clothes on Hu Xiaotian's shoulders were wet.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mom! You should be happy to see your son come back fine, but why are you crying instead?"
Xu Fengyi wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Mom is so happy. That's why she sheds tears."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mom, don't cry just yet. I'll introduce you to some of my friends."
At this time, the people who accompanied him to greet him had just arrived. A group of people all knelt down in front of Mrs. Hu: "I'm waiting to see Mrs. Hu! I wish Mrs. Hu good luck!"
Xu Fengyi saw the formation in front of her and hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, how can we do this?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and asked everyone to get up. Zhan Peng came to Xu Fengyi and saluted: "Nephew Zhan Peng comes to see Aunt Hu."
Xu Fengyi smiled and said: "That's funny." She had met Zhan Peng before in Shuijing'er Hutong and knew that he and his son had a fateful relationship.
Hu Xiaotian introduced Zhao Chongwu, Yan Fei, Yang Lingqi, etc. to his mother one by one. When the last one was introduced to Huo Shengnan, Huo Shengnan had a hint of shyness in his eyes. After that incident with Hu Xiaotian, she had become Hu Xiaotian.
As a woman, this meeting was like a new daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law. Of course she felt shy from the bottom of her heart, but fortunately she was in disguise now, so Mrs. Hu did not become suspicious.
Hu Xiaotian said: "He is my good friend Huang Feihong."
Xu Fengyi smiled and said: "Feihong. It looks like a girl's name." She reached out and held Huo Shengnan's hand. It was soft and delicate, like gelatin. Although Huo Shengnan changed the description, it could not change the texture of the skin. Xu Fengyi was startled in her heart.
Huo Shengnan's eyes showed a bit of shyness. After all, she had been here before. She felt something was wrong in her heart.
Huo Shengnan didn't dare to pull his hand back and said softly: "It's Hong Yan's Hong!"
Xu Fengyi then smiled and let go of her hand: "It seems I misunderstood." Fortunately, her attention was completely on her son: "Xiaotian, where is your father?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "He is still in Shuijing'er Hutong. The emperor has returned the Hu Mansion to us. I have invited him several times, but he is unwilling to go back. He is very stubborn."
Xu Fengyi nodded and said: "Let's go see your father first!"
Hu Xiaotian handed over his mount to his subordinates and got into the carriage to sit with his mother.
Xu Fengyi held her son's hand. As if she was afraid that she would never see him again if she let go, her eyes kept looking at him, and she couldn't help but shed tears again.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Mom, if you are crying, your eyes will turn into peaches. My dad won't have any feelings for you when he sees you look like that?"
Xu Fengyi laughed through her tears and slapped the back of his hand: "If you ask for a beating, he wouldn't even dare to lend him the courage."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Did Mom go to Jinling to meet my grandma this time?"
Xu Fengyi nodded. When she heard this, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. She sighed softly and said, "Mom will never go back again."
Hu Xiaotian saw his mother's expression and knew that her trip to visit relatives would not go well. He gently patted the back of his mother's hand to comfort him and said with a smile: "If you marry into the Hu family, you will become our Hu family. You can't go back to that family."
It doesn’t matter, you don’t have your husband and son anyway.”
Xu Fengyi couldn't help but smile and whispered: "The emperor asked the Xu family to borrow food, but your grandmother refused. I'm worried that this matter will implicate us."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Mom, don't worry, the child will handle these things on his own."
During the conversation, they had already arrived at the south gate of the capital. After entering the city gate, Hu Xiaotian said to everyone: "Brothers, please go back first. I will accompany my mother to see my father!"
After bidding farewell to everyone, Hu Xiaotian accompanied his mother to Shuijing'er Hutong. These days, Hu Buwei still insists on living here and goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs every day to work. Although Hu Buwei has not been reinstated, in fact he has begun to take over
Xu Zhengying and others were also in awe of him for most of the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and served him as if he were the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Dakang's current situation is not something he can solve, and it would be difficult for anyone else to lead Dakang out of the predicament. Ever since he learned that Mrs. Xu rejected the emperor's request to borrow food, Hu Buwei vaguely felt that a catastrophe might happen again.
The end was coming. Unlike his son's optimism, Hu Buwei had a deep sense of crisis. He did not believe that a fourteen-year-old girl could control the power of Da Kang.
The return of his wife put a rare smile on Hu Buwei's face. After going through some twists and turns, the family of three finally had the opportunity to reunite. Hu Buwei's biggest wish now is to be able to solve all troubles, even if they are
Losing glory and wealth, as long as there is such a small yard, as long as the family can be together neatly, it is enough.
The two couples have been married for thirty years, and they already know what the other is thinking even with just one look. Hu Buwei looked at his wife with a smile and said, "It'll be good when we come back."
Xu Fengyi said: "You seem to have lost weight again."
Hu Buwei said: "If you lose weight, you will look younger."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh: "Father, mother, how about I stay away for a while so as not to hinder your intimacy."
Hu Buwei's old face heated up and he spat: "You bastard, the older you get, the more outrageous you become. Do you think you can talk like that?"
Xu Fengyi's face was also flushed, and she grabbed Hu Xiaotian's ears: "You bastard, believe it or not, I will pull your ears off."
Hu Xiaotian quickly begged for mercy. Hot water had been prepared for her in the wing room. Xu Fengyi got up and went to take a shower and change clothes. Before leaving, she remembered one more thing and took out a letter and gave it to Hu Buwei: "The old lady asked me to give it to you.
Yes, it says you can only open it yourself."
Hu Buwei took the letter.
After Xu Fengyi left, Hu Xiaotian took the opportunity to say: "Dad, you see mom is back, why don't you go home with me to live? This place is too small, the sunshine is not good, summer is coming soon, it's hot and humid
.”
Hu Buwei said: "That mansion was given to you by the emperor. I have no intention of going back at all."
"You are my father, why do you need to tell me so clearly?"
Hu Buwei shook his head and said: "I don't want to tell you clearly. People who don't have long-term worries must have immediate worries. Dad doesn't want to be kicked out from there again."
Hu Xiaotian laughed: "Who dares?"
Hu Buwei looked at his high-spirited son. Although he was pleased with his current achievements, he still wanted to remind him: "Xiaotian, do you know that your grandmother has rejected the emperor?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Grandma no longer has our Hu family in her eyes. In this case, why should we strive so high?"
Hu Buwei sighed and said: "This is not as simple as you see. I am in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I know the current situation of Dakang best. Dakang has suffered from constant disasters in the past two years, and has had poor harvests year after year. Don't worry.
Speaking of the people, even the grain stores in Dakang's major granaries are almost exhausted. Although the emperor has provided some money, no one from the surrounding countries is willing to sell grain to Dakang at this time. Judging from the current situation in various places,
This autumn’s harvest is not ideal either. If the harvest continues to be poor this autumn, I’m afraid the people will be in chaos first.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "That's why the emperor wants to purchase grain from overseas through the Xu family."
Hu Buwei said: "The emperor has placed great hopes on this matter. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Your grandmother clearly rejected the emperor's request. The emperor was so angry that he was afraid..." He did not say these words.
Finished, I believe my son should understand what I mean.
Hu Xiaotian said: "You mean the emperor wants to take revenge on us?"
Hu Buwei nodded.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, I made it very clear to Princess Yongyang that we have nothing to do with the Jinling Xu family."
Hu Buwei smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think the emperor will believe it?"
Hu Xiaotian was quite curious about the letter in his hand. He pointed at the letter and said, "Dad, don't you want to see what's written in it?"
After being reminded by him, Hu Buwei opened the letter and fell silent after reading it.
Hu Xiaotian was quite curious about the content of the letter. He didn't know what the old lady wrote in the letter. He whispered: "Dad, what was written in the letter?"
Hu Buwei said: "Your grandmother really has something unspeakable. If she lends food to Dakang, she will be regarded as an enemy by the surrounding countries. The Xu family in Jinling will become the target of the masters from all countries to eradicate it. It is helpless to openly reject the emperor.
However, she promised to point out a trade route to Dakang, but this trade route required Dakang to send someone to contact him."
