The house is ancient, and was taken home by a rough man and spoiled

"Junior greets Master Huo."

The two brothers bowed respectfully.

Huo Shizhong looked at the two brothers and a gratified smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's still your Ye family who knows how to teach children."

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Huo Shizhong’s cloudy eyes became even more cloudy.

Seeing that he is now in his twilight years, Ye Mufei feels a little uncomfortable.

He grew up listening to the heroic deeds of Mr. Huo. He was once such a heroic figure, but now he is in his octogenarian years, which is even a bit sad.

"Didn't the Princess Protector of the Nation return to the capital?"

Huo Shizhong asked immediately when he didn't see the Princess Protector of the Country.

He knew that the Princess Protector of the Country had left Beijing two months before the New Year, but he didn't know what had happened to her after she hadn't returned for so long.

He had not been in charge of anything for a long time since he had given up his military power. Apart from asking a few questions about things that interested him, he usually didn't care about anything.

"She doesn't want to go back now. She is not afraid to tell Mr. Huo that the princess has found her biological daughter in Beichang Prefecture, and she can't bear to leave her daughter."

"But, in April, the child will come to Beijing to recognize her ancestral roots. I will bring her to visit you then."

The Ye family and the Huo family are old friends. Ye Mufei's father and Mr. Huo have a close relationship, so they are more casual when talking to each other.

"Biological daughter?"

Mr. Huo was shocked.

"Didn't they say they found the granddaughter? Did they find that girl Nishang?"

Old Master Huo knew something about the Princess Protector of the Nation. When the Princess left Beijing, she came to visit him and told him that she had found her granddaughter.

I couldn't help but feel moved and happy for her.

Unexpectedly, Ye Mufei shook his head:

"No, I found my youngest daughter, the one who died young. She is not dead and was rescued. It is really God's blessing."

Ye Mufei did not hide it. When he got to this point, he looked at the gifts in Ye Xingfeng's hands and immediately said:

"This is specially prepared by my little girl. Bring it here for old man to try. You must not know who our Ye family's little girl is."

Speaking of Su Wanwan, Ye Mufei feels proud.

Ye Xingfeng and Ye Xingzhou immediately stepped forward, put down the three large wooden boxes, and opened them directly.

"Grandpa Huo, this is vermicelli, which can be used to cook. This box is cornmeal, which can be mixed with white flour to make steamed bread. This box is sweet potato flour, which can also be used to make steamed bread. And this bag is bean curd sticks."

Ye Xingfeng introduced them one by one.

He knew that the old people liked these foods the most, which were good things that could fill the people's stomachs.

Just open it and let the old man see it, who knows, he might be happy.

After he finished his introduction, I thought I would hear the old man's excitement and exclamation, but I didn't hear any response for a long time.

Huo Shizhong was completely shocked.

He sat up straight and reached out his hand to touch the box.

As for what Ye Xingfeng said, he didn't hear a word. His cloudy eyes just stared at the box.

Ye Xingfeng:.......

This is not the right reaction.

Ye Mufei and the other two looked at each other but didn't say much. Seeing that the old man was about to close the box, Ye Mufei immediately helped and closed the box.

The patterns engraved on the box instantly caught Huo Shizhong's eyes.

Huo Shizhong's eyes widened and turned red. He was about to speak for a long time, but when he looked up and saw the guards at the door, he swallowed the words back.

"Ye Erlang, what did you just say? What are these?"

Huo Shizhong suppressed the throbbing in his heart and reached out to open the box.

Ye Xingfeng didn't understand what was going on, but he still introduced them one by one.

Only then did Huo Shizhong hear clearly what these things were. They turned out to be made from the sweet potatoes and corn that were so popular a while ago!

"Is this food made from sweet potatoes and corn? That's right, you went to Beichang Prefecture, but weren't these things purchased by the government for promotion? These..."

Huo Shizhong pretended to be calm and asked casually.

"All the villagers' possessions have been purchased. This is Su Wanwan, the one who discovered the corn and sweet potatoes. Oh, I haven't told you yet, Su Wanwan is the youngest daughter of my Ye family."

Ye Mufei did not hide it.

"Su Wanwan? I've heard of her. She was a peasant woman who not only discovered sweet potatoes and corn, but also invented many farm tools. Is she the one? Is she the daughter who died young that the princess found?"

Huo Shizhong's eyes turned slightly cold, and seemed less cloudy.

When this is mentioned, Ye Xingfeng couldn't help himself. He wanted to praise this little sister to the sky.

"Grandpa Huo, you are absolutely right. Our little sister is her. What a coincidence. My little sister is very smart and a good person. My second aunt found her daughter and wanted to let her return to Beijing, but now she has opened a workshop and is promoting new crops, so she can't leave for the time being..."

Ye Xingfeng said this with a look of pride and honor. Ye Xingzhou glanced at him and felt a little embarrassed to watch.

He is just a cousin, but he is my brother.

He is not proud yet, and I don’t know why his second brother is so excited.

"Grandpa Huo, that's it. My mother won't be returning to Beijing for the time being. She will come to visit you after she returns."

Ye Xingzhou pulled his second brother and bowed to Huo Shizhong with an apologetic look on his face.

Huo Shizhong's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't look at the two brothers much, but looked at Ye Mufei instead.

"The Ye family actually has such a daughter. It is a blessing for the Ye family and also for our Great Xia country. But I heard that she is a peasant woman. Does that mean she is already... married?"

Mr. Huo seemed very interested in these things and chatted for a while as if he was just having a casual conversation.

Ye Xingfeng looked at his father's expression and wanted to speak, but finally decided to let his father speak and he would not snatch it.

"Well, it's a coincidence. The man she married is Nichang's husband. Nichang's child had a miserable life. He died while protecting the soldiers' winter clothes. Her husband was a soldier at the border. After the Xiongnu retreated two years ago, he retired and returned home with his child."

"He married my little girl after he returned home. It was fate that two sisters married the same person. Fortunately, Shen Yuan is a good person and the couple has a good relationship. As elders, we can only wish them the best."

After Ye Mufei said this, Huo Shizhong's eyes became redder.

Retired soldier?

It must be his distant home.

He got married.

If his guess was correct, the girl Nishang was marrying Shen Yuan, and this Su Wanwan, the youngest daughter that the Ye family had just found, was probably marrying Yuaner from their Huo family.

My eyes were wet and I couldn't hold them back any longer.

Huo Shizhong lowered his eyes and looked at the pattern on the box on the ground.

If he could, he would probably be crying now.

It’s great that Huo Yuan is still alive.

And he's already married.

This must be a message he sent to me specifically.

Grandpa received it.
