Jiangshan is hired [rebirth]
Chapter 32
Huo Lan really caught a cold that night, and developed a fever in the middle of the night.However, she is in good health. She drank medicine and slept for a long time. When she woke up, her forehead was no longer hot.
Yun Miaoqing took her pulse again at night, and said that she was almost fine, and she would be alive and kicking tomorrow after resting for another night.
Huo Lan fell asleep obediently, but felt that she was not well the next day, not only the second day, but also the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day. Otherwise, why would she always giggle inexplicably these days? , Even walking is buoyant?
Yun Miaoqing kissed her!Although it is the forehead of a kiss, like an adult pampering a child, it is also a kiss!
And not only kissed her, found her sick, but put her to bed that night.That was Yun Miaoqing's bed every day!If it weren't for the fact that she was still watching by her side, Huo Lan would have hugged the quilt and rolled several times.
Later, Yun Miaoqing gave her medicine with her own hands, and helped her wipe her face and hands...
Huo Lan knew that Yun Miaoqing doted on her, but whenever she felt that Yun Miaoqing could not be better, Yun Miaoqing would always break through her expectations and treat her better, so good that she felt that it was not just this life, In the next life, the next life, if there is reincarnation, then she will want to dominate this person forever and never let go.
I don't know if Yun Miaoqing is willing to let her be with her forever... Huo Lan waved the sword in his hand with some worry, what if Yun Miaoqing doesn't know her in the next life?
That's okay, she can still give Yun Miaoqing fruit and food like she did in this life, and the stalker insists that Yun Miaoqing recognize her.Then just like now, no matter whether Yun Miaoqing regards her as her younger sister or what, she will rely on Yun Miaoqing anyway, and she will work hard to make herself better, so that Yun Miaoqing can appreciate her and make herself worthy of staying. By Yun Miaoqing's side.
If on this basis, Yun Miaoqing's admiration for her can be turned into a little liking for her, that would be great!
Huo Lan thought about it, and then smirked "hehehe". Fortunately, Wen Taicang has been busy recently and didn't stare at her practicing martial arts every day, otherwise she would have to be punished to clean the water in her mind until she was tired Until I can't get up.
But Huo Lan only enjoys it secretly for a little while every day, not anytime and anywhere, after all, there is such a big thing Du Shouming said on her heart, she can't think too much about other things.
Jingcheng, although she had heard Ginkgo talk about it in the past, it was still a very strange existence to her. She had never been there, not in this life, nor in her previous life.
She is about to go to a strange place and start a new life with a brand new identity, and this new life will undoubtedly be full of intrigues, Huo Lan always feels a little uneasy when thinking about it.
"You don't have to worry about these things. I'll arrange the return to Beijing. You just have to do what you were doing every day."
This is what Yun Miaoqing told her. Huo Lan could see that Yun Miaoqing was busy with some things during this time, so he tried not to disturb her outside of class time.
Two months passed quickly, and when the first snow fell this year, Huo Lan followed Yun Miaoqing and his party finally embarked on the road back to Beijing.
Huo Lan was sitting in the carriage, beside her, Yun Miaoqing wrapped herself into a ball with the hand stove in her arms.
She is really afraid of the cold.Huo Lan thought to herself that she didn't even know about it in her previous life, presumably it was because there were no conditions for escaping at that time, Yun Miaoqing was afraid that she was worried and held back and didn't show it.
Once this thought came into being, more and more details that had been ignored by me emerged one by one.Huo Lan felt sad, and felt more and more ashamed of Yun Miaoqing.
"Are your feet cold, shall I cover them for you?"
Yun Miaoqing was thinking about all kinds of things to do after returning to Beijing, and she almost jumped when she heard Huo Lan speak suddenly.
Of course it was cold, and she held the hand stove so that the area on her chest was not cold, and she couldn't take care of her feet.Suzhou is relatively humid in winter, and it snowed again today. Even though there are thin velvet pads in her shoes, she still feels that they are not warm enough, and the slight wetness makes her feel very uncomfortable.
But it's too much for someone to cover her feet... Yun Miaoqing tightened the cloak wrapped around her body, retracted her feet, shook her head and said to Huo Lan, "It's not cold."
No wonder it's not cold!Huo Lan secretly refuted in his heart.
"I don't care, I'm going to cover your feet. I'm going to take off your shoes now. If you're angry, hit me hard. If you don't hit me, you're acquiescing!"
Yun Miaoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Huo Lan just relied on herself to spoil her, and she knew how to play some rogue tricks. He was a ghost, and he had enough brains to deal with her.
But she was really reluctant to do anything to Huo Lan, so Yun Miaoqing bent her finger and tapped Huo Lan's head lightly, and let her go.
Huo Lan loosened her coat, lifted Yun Miaoqing's legs, covered her feet in her arms, wrapped her in clothes and hugged her.She was afraid that Yun Miaoqing would not sit comfortably, so she helped Yun Miaoqing get a cushion to raise the place where she was sitting.
Seeing Huo Lan doing this and that for her, Yun Miaoqing suddenly said: "Huo Xiaolan, do you know that according to the custom, if a woman's feet are seen by outsiders, she will marry him."
Huo Lan raised her head when she heard the words, her eyes sparkled: "Then I saw your feet, you can't marry anyone else, you can only marry me!"
Tsk, the little girl has become more cheeky and thicker, she won't be as shy as before, it's not fun at all.Yun Miaoqing turned her face away, and lightly tapped Huo Lan's stomach with her toes: "You are beautiful through the socks."
Huo Lan smirked, lowered her head and hugged Yun Miaoqing's feet tightly. Yun Miaoqing's move just now must not have hit her stomach, but directly hit her heart, otherwise why would she be so itchy right now? !
Back then when Yun Miaoqing came from the capital to Songluan County to attend his father's funeral, the team couldn't be said to be huge, but there were dozens of slaves and servants.Now when returning to Beijing from Songluan County, everything is kept simple, except for the three of them whom Du Shouming called to see last time, there is only one more driver, not even Xiao He.
A group of people walked on the road for more than half a month, and finally rushed to the capital on the tail of the end of the year.Although they passed through several relatively large cities along the way, they all entered the cities when Sutou was approaching the gate of the city at dusk, and left at dawn. Huo Lan hadn't seen these cities well yet. where the prosperity.
It was just after noon, and the east and west cities in the capital were open, which was the bustling time.
The prosperity here is not the same as that of other state capitals. Huo Lan raised a corner of the curtain and looked out quietly. He saw that the streets were bustling with people, and the aroma of roasted chestnuts wafted from the roadside. Fried rice cakes, candied haws... The cries of the hawkers came one after another, one after another.
Going forward, there are many shops behind a big archway. You can see those who sell cloth, fans, and candied fruit. There are restaurants, bookstores, and teahouses.
"The West Market is ahead, and the New Year is approaching. Every family will come out to buy New Year's goods, and there will be more people than usual." Yun Miaoqing glanced at the situation outside through the window that Huo Lan raised, and explained to Huo Lan. .
Their carriage would not go through the West Market, but just passed by outside. Yun Miaoqing told Huo Lan that if she was interested, she could come over another day.
The two were talking in the car when the carriage stopped suddenly, and there was a series of shouts in front of them.
"Stop! Don't run!"
"You guys go over there and catch them!"
Yun Miaoqing changed places with Huo Lan, sat by the window and looked out, only to see a group of officers and soldiers rushing out of an alley chasing three or four ragged people.
"It's a mission from Qingjing Mansion." Wen Taicang said in a low voice, there were too many passers-by near the West Market, it was not convenient for him to ride a horse, so he walked beside Yun Miaoqing's carriage holding the reins.
After Du Wenyao's skeleton was discovered two years ago, it didn't take long for the governor of Qingjing to change.It is said that the newly appointed Yin of Qing Jingfu was a pure minister who was loyal to His Majesty wholeheartedly, but Yun Miaoqing did not jump to a conclusion about what was going on.
The group being chased now obviously wanted to run to a crowded place, so as to create chaos and avoid being chased.Wen Taicang led the horse back to the side of the street, and the coachman also drove the car to the side to prevent them from being affected.
The group of fugitives passed by their car, scattered and entered the West Market, followed by the group of officers and soldiers in a hurry to catch up.
"Why is this?"
"Oh my stall, he ran over there and is not with me, this official, don't overthrow my stall!"
"Oh, who stepped on my foot!"
There were already many people on the street, but this made it even more chaotic, noisy, and some people even got into an argument because of unintentional pushing and shoving.
"There's another one!" Suddenly, Huo Lan pointed to another alley and whispered, where a young man dressed like a beggar poked his head and looked out. The panic and anxiety on his face proved that he was not an ordinary The beggars should be related to the few people who were hunted down just now.
The group of officers and soldiers all chased to the West Market, and everyone on the street stretched their necks to watch the bustle of the West Market.That alley was in the opposite direction to the West Market, if it wasn't for Huo Lan's sharp eyes, no one would have noticed him.
Yun Miaoqing glanced at the man, said in a low voice, "Don't worry about your own business", then put down the curtains, and the carriage started up again.
Yunfu is located on Shengde Avenue. Generally speaking, the gates of every family are not allowed to open on the side of the street, and can only be opened in the square. However, the emperors of the past dynasties would license some important officials and princes to open the gate of the house outside the square. Show favor in the street.
There are not many families on this street, and it looks very deserted compared with the crowded section of the road just now. It is this desertion that adds a sense of solemnity and dignity to the families living here.
Huo Lan followed Yun Miaoqing and got out of the car. One of the gatekeepers came up to lead Wen Taicang's horse, and the other quickly ran into the courtyard to report the news. people.
The leader was a man who looked about thirty years old, with fair skin and a gentle appearance, and his eyebrows and eyes were three points similar to Yun Miaoqing's.Huo Lan secretly looked at him, guessing that this person was probably Yun Miaoqing's elder brother Yun Shujian.
There is also a young woman beside Yun Shujian, who is beautiful and friendly, not Yun Miaoqing's kind of kindness that only appears because of a smile, but a little flesh on her own cheek, paired with a pair of black and bright big eyes , it looks very friendly at first glance.
This person should be Yun Miaoqing's sister-in-law Shuang Ya.
"Have you eaten your lunch yet? How is the journey going?" Shuang Ya ordered her servants to carry the luggage on the carriage outside, while holding Yun Miaoqing's hand and asked.
"Just eat something on the way, everything is fine, sister-in-law Lao is worried." Yun Miaoqing turned her head, introduced Huo Lan to Shuangya, and introduced her brother and sister-in-law to Huo Lan.
Before she came back, she wrote to her family briefly about Huo Lan's situation, so Yun Shujian and Shuang Ya were not surprised to see Huo Lan, but there was a little curiosity in their eyes.
Yun Shujian was standing beside Wen Taicang, and was about to say something when suddenly a small light pink ball came running like a gust of wind from the other end of the corridor, bumping into Yun Miaoqing's leg.
"Auntie!" A little girl who looked like a jade carved in pink hugged Yun Miaoqing's leg and raised her head and shouted, behind her, the nanny who had chased her all the way hurriedly confessed to Yun Miaoqing.
"Little Muchen has grown up so much, I still remember my aunt." Yun Miaoqing bent down and patted the little girl's head.
"Of course I remember! Daddy said that if I make my aunt happy, she will buy me a lot of sweets!"
That little girl is Yun Muchen, the daughter of Yun Shujian and Shuangya. She has just turned seven years old this year, and she sold her father as soon as they met without saying a word. She turned her head to look at Huo Lan, blinked her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Are you my uncle?"
Huo Lan didn't know what Yun Miaoqing told her family in the letter, but when the little girl suddenly asked her, whether she should or shouldn't, she instantly blushed.
"Yun Shujian! What nonsense are you talking to your daughter every day!" Shuang Ya picked up her daughter and gave her husband a hard look.
Yun Shujian rubbed his nose, looked at the sky and the ground, rubbed the back of his head and said, "I'm so curious about their relationship, let Xiaochen ask what's wrong?"
"Why don't you ask yourself if you're so curious?" Yun Miaoqing looked at her elder brother.
Yun Shujian was taken aback by his younger sister. Since he was a child, his younger sister had a lot of weird ideas. As the first person to be teased back then, Yun Shujian always felt a pain in the head whenever he recalled the past. Until now, he dare not easily provoke this girl. younger sister.
"I'm not curious at all, really! Brother Wen and I haven't seen each other for a long time, we went drinking, you guys chat slowly!" Yun Shujian took Wen Taicang's arm and fled the scene without looking back. If you go faster at that speed, smoke will come out from under your feet.
"People who are almost thirty, and they are not serious all day long!" Shuangya looked at Yun Shujian's back and said angrily, then turned her head to Huo Lan Fuli: "My husband is not good at hospitality, and Mr. Huo laughed at me. I offended you. I'm here to make amends to Mr. Huo for him."
Huo Lan hurriedly cupped his hands to return the gift: "My sister is serious."
After waiting for the two to be polite, Yun Miaoqing looked around and asked, "Where's mother?"
"We didn't know that you would arrive today, and we thought it would be two days. Mother went to Qingfu Temple to accompany the Queen Mother to pay respects to the Buddha. I sent someone to invite you just now, and you should be back later."
While talking, Shuangya brought Huo Lan and Yun Miaoqing to a small courtyard.
"I asked my servants to tidy up this yard and come out. During this period of time, I have wronged Mr. Huo to live here. If there is anything you need, let the servants come and talk to me." Shuangya arranged Huo Lan and turned to Yun Miao Qing said, "Miao Qing, if you want to stay in your original place."
"Please, sister-in-law. Go and rest, sister-in-law. I'll go back by myself later."
After Shuangya left, Yun Miaoqing took Huo Lan into the courtyard.Although this is a small courtyard, the plum blossoms in the courtyard are well trimmed, and the stone tables, stone benches, and winding stone paths are hidden among them, which looks quite interesting.
"Do you like it?" Yun Miaoqing led Huo Lan across the gravel road, and pushed open the door of the house. The inside was just cleaned today, the table was polished and the floor was spotless.
Huo Lan nodded, as long as she was with Yun Miaoqing, she liked it anywhere.
"Then where do you live?" Huo Lan asked.
Yun Miaoqing stood at the door of the house and pointed her in a direction. Through the carved window on the wall, Huo Lan could only see trees, rockery, and some landscaping in the direction Yun Miaoqing pointed. blocked.
It turns out that we are not in the same place...so far away...
Huo Lan's little joy from the novelty was immediately diluted, she lowered her head and pulled Yun Miaoqing's sleeve without saying a word.It seems that living in a big house is not good at all, it is better for them to live in the country where the doors are next to each other!
Huo Lan now looks like a puppy with drooping ears, seeing this, Yun Miaoqing suddenly thinks of pine nuts.
She quietly walked outside the courtyard and whispered a few words to the maidservant outside. After a while, the maidservant came back with a gray-haired puppy in her arms.
Yun Miaoqing took the pine nuts from the handmaiden, Huo Lan looked at it strangely, all she had seen in the village before were short-haired native dogs, and this was the first time she had seen such long-haired puppies.
"Come here, I'll do a trick for you." Yun Miaoqing called Huo Lan into the room, asked her to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, then put the puppy on the ground, and patted her leg.
"Pine nuts, come!"
When Songzi heard someone call it, he twisted his buttocks and circled Yun Miaoqing twice, then suddenly stood up, stuck out his tongue and raised his head to look at his master, with bright eyes, begging someone to touch it as if he could talk.
Yun Miaoqing patted its head as a reward, then knelt down and stretched out a hand and said to it: "Songzi, how do you act like a baby?"
Song Zi took two steps back, rubbing his head in Yun Miaoqing's hands.
"Pine nuts, please give me one!"
Pine nut tilted its head, as if understanding what its master said, after a while it shrunk itself into a ball, rested its head on the ground, raised its ears high, glanced at Yun Miaoqing, then moved away, and then glanced again. glance.
"Silly dog, you call it cowardly!" Yun Miaoqing patted it on the head, and suddenly laughed when she thought of something, "But this one is quite similar.
As she spoke, she half-lifted the pine nut, teased it and asked, "What about the grievance? How can I be wronged?"
Pine nuts put down their ears, and let out a "woo-woo" sound from their throats.
Yun Miaoqing put it down in satisfaction, and pressed Huo Lan's shoulder to make her face the bronze mirror: "Huo Lan, what should I do if I feel wronged?"
Huo Lan: "..."
"So you've been treating me like a puppy!!!" Huo Lan turned around and began to fight with Yun Miaoqing. Yun Miaoqing couldn't quarrel with her, so she had to use her trump card - hug Huo Lan, so that Huo Lan wouldn't dare to mess around Moved.
"Okay." Yun Miaoqing stood and sat Huo Lan, she hugged Huo Lan, and Huo Lan's head was pressed against her abdomen below her chest, fortunately the stool was short, it would be embarrassing if it was a little higher.
"Although I live far away, I will come to see you often. You should rest in your room in the afternoon, and you should have a meal with my family in the evening. It is difficult to describe your situation in detail in the letter. I will discuss it with you in detail after the meal." They speak."
"Tonight...is your mother coming back soon?" The thought of meeting Yun Miaoqing's mother made Huo Lan a little nervous.
"Are you afraid?" Yun Miaoqing teased her with a smile, "Ugly daughters-in-law are afraid of seeing their parents-in-law. What are you afraid of?"
Then how can you not be afraid!Huo Lan thought to herself, when she lived in Liuhe Village before, there was so-and-so and so-and-so and so-and-so's house, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a terrible fight!And I heard that the richer the family, the more rules there are, and the mother-in-law has high vision and high requirements. If the daughter-in-law who married in the past is not careful, she will not know where to offend her mother-in-law.
Moreover, Yun Miaoqing's mother is the prime minister's wife. Although Huo Lan doesn't know her background, she must be a lady from a famous family.He is a lofty phoenix, but I am a country chicken. Even though I have been taught by Yun Miaoqing for nearly three years, it is at most a chicken with dyed feathers, which is far worse than others. Seeing my daughter hang out with someone like her, how disgusting I might be!
The more Huo Lan thought about it, the more she felt that her daughter-in-law would definitely not be treated by her mother-in-law, and felt bitter...
Bah bah bah!What kind of daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are all called Yun Miaoqing's nonsense!It took Huo Lan a long circle to react, and he glared at Yun Miaoqing angrily.
Yun Miaoqing smiled and snorted Huo Lan's head, and said, "Don't be nervous, my wife is very good, you will know when we meet at night."
After Yun Miaoqing left, Huo Lan spent the afternoon reviewing the etiquette she asked from Yun Miaoqing several times.Even though Yun Miaoqing told her that it was unnecessary and that she could be more casual in her house without being restrained, Huo Lan still rehearsed the rehearsal in her heart, fearing that she would embarrass Yun Miaoqing if she didn't do well.
After dark, a maid came to invite Huo Lan to eat in the front hall.Huo Lan followed the maidservant, getting more nervous as she got closer to the front hall, and almost stepped on her heels several times.
This nervousness reached its peak when she saw the beautiful woman in the front hall whom she had not met earlier. She bowed and saluted, and said "Huo Lan has seen Mrs. Huo Lan" into "Huo Lan has seen mother-in-law "!"
The author has something to say: Huo Xiaolan: T_T Do I have another chance to be born again?
Yun Miaoqing took her pulse again at night, and said that she was almost fine, and she would be alive and kicking tomorrow after resting for another night.
Huo Lan fell asleep obediently, but felt that she was not well the next day, not only the second day, but also the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day. Otherwise, why would she always giggle inexplicably these days? , Even walking is buoyant?
Yun Miaoqing kissed her!Although it is the forehead of a kiss, like an adult pampering a child, it is also a kiss!
And not only kissed her, found her sick, but put her to bed that night.That was Yun Miaoqing's bed every day!If it weren't for the fact that she was still watching by her side, Huo Lan would have hugged the quilt and rolled several times.
Later, Yun Miaoqing gave her medicine with her own hands, and helped her wipe her face and hands...
Huo Lan knew that Yun Miaoqing doted on her, but whenever she felt that Yun Miaoqing could not be better, Yun Miaoqing would always break through her expectations and treat her better, so good that she felt that it was not just this life, In the next life, the next life, if there is reincarnation, then she will want to dominate this person forever and never let go.
I don't know if Yun Miaoqing is willing to let her be with her forever... Huo Lan waved the sword in his hand with some worry, what if Yun Miaoqing doesn't know her in the next life?
That's okay, she can still give Yun Miaoqing fruit and food like she did in this life, and the stalker insists that Yun Miaoqing recognize her.Then just like now, no matter whether Yun Miaoqing regards her as her younger sister or what, she will rely on Yun Miaoqing anyway, and she will work hard to make herself better, so that Yun Miaoqing can appreciate her and make herself worthy of staying.

This person should be Yun Miaoqing's sister-in-law Shuang Ya.
"Have you eaten your lunch yet? How is the journey going?" Shuang Ya ordered her servants to carry the luggage on the carriage outside, while holding Yun Miaoqing's hand and asked.
"Just eat something on the way, everything is fine, sister-in-law Lao is worried." Yun Miaoqing turned her head, introduced Huo Lan to Shuangya, and introduced her brother and sister-in-law to Huo Lan.
Before she came back, she wrote to her family briefly about Huo Lan's situation, so Yun Shujian and Shuang Ya were not surprised to see Huo Lan, but there was a little curiosity in their eyes.
Yun Shujian was standing beside Wen Taicang, and was about to say something when suddenly a small light pink ball came running like a gust of wind from the other end of the corridor, bumping into Yun Miaoqing's leg.
"Auntie!" A little girl who looked like a jade carved in pink hugged Yun Miaoqing's leg and raised her head and shouted, behind her, the nanny who had chased her all the way hurriedly confessed to Yun Miaoqing.
"Little Muchen has grown up so much, I still remember my aunt." Yun Miaoqing bent down and patted the little girl's head.
"Of course I remember! Daddy said that if I make my aunt happy, she will buy me a lot of sweets!"
That little girl is Yun Muchen, the daughter of Yun Shujian and Shuangya. She has just turned seven years old this year, and she sold her father as soon as they met without saying a word. She turned her head to look at Huo Lan, blinked her eyes, and suddenly asked: "Are you my uncle?"
Huo Lan didn't know what Yun Miaoqing told her family in the letter, but when the little girl suddenly asked her, whether she should or shouldn't, she instantly blushed.
"Yun Shujian! What nonsense are you talking to your daughter every day!" Shuang Ya picked up her daughter and gave her husband a hard look.
Yun Shujian rubbed his nose, looked at the sky and the ground, rubbed the back of his head and said, "I'm so curious about their relationship, let Xiaochen ask what's wrong?"
"Why don't you ask yourself if you're so curious?" Yun Miaoqing looked at her elder brother.
Yun Shujian was taken aback by his younger sister. Since he was a child, his younger sister had a lot of weird ideas. As the first person to be teased back then, Yun Shujian always felt a pain in the head whenever he recalled the past. Until now, he dare not easily provoke this girl. younger sister.
"I'm not curious at all, really! Brother Wen and I haven't seen each other for a long time, we went drinking, you guys chat slowly!" Yun Shujian took Wen Taicang's arm and fled the scene without looking back. If you go faster at that speed, smoke will come out from under your feet.
"People who are almost thirty, and they are not serious all day long!" Shuangya looked at Yun Shujian's back and said angrily, then turned her head to Huo Lan Fuli: "My husband is not good at hospitality, and Mr. Huo laughed at me. I offended you. I'm here to make amends to Mr. Huo for him."
Huo Lan hurriedly cupped his hands to return the gift: "My sister is serious."
After waiting for the two to be polite, Yun Miaoqing looked around and asked, "Where's mother?"
"We didn't know that you would arrive today, and we thought it would be two days. Mother went to Qingfu Temple to accompany the Queen Mother to pay respects to the Buddha. I sent someone to invite you just now, and you should be back later."
While talking, Shuangya brought Huo Lan and Yun Miaoqing to a small courtyard.
"I asked my servants to tidy up this yard and come out. During this period of time, I have wronged Mr. Huo to live here. If there is anything you need, let the servants come and talk to me." Shuangya arranged Huo Lan and turned to Yun Miao Qing said, "Miao Qing, if you want to stay in your original place."
"Please, sister-in-law. Go and rest, sister-in-law. I'll go back by myself later."
After Shuangya left, Yun Miaoqing took Huo Lan into the courtyard.Although this is a small courtyard, the plum blossoms in the courtyard are well trimmed, and the stone tables, stone benches, and winding stone paths are hidden among them, which looks quite interesting.
"Do you like it?" Yun Miaoqing led Huo Lan across the gravel road, and pushed open the door of the house. The inside was just cleaned today, the table was polished and the floor was spotless.
Huo Lan nodded, as long as she was with Yun Miaoqing, she liked it anywhere.
"Then where do you live?" Huo Lan asked.
Yun Miaoqing stood at the door of the house and pointed her in a direction. Through the carved window on the wall, Huo Lan could only see trees, rockery, and some landscaping in the direction Yun Miaoqing pointed. blocked.
It turns out that we are not in the same place...so far away...
Huo Lan's little joy from the novelty was immediately diluted, she lowered her head and pulled Yun Miaoqing's sleeve without saying a word.It seems that living in a big house is not good at all, it is better for them to live in the country where the doors are next to each other!
Huo Lan now looks like a puppy with drooping ears, seeing this, Yun Miaoqing suddenly thinks of pine nuts.
She quietly walked outside the courtyard and whispered a few words to the maidservant outside. After a while, the maidservant came back with a gray-haired puppy in her arms.
Yun Miaoqing took the pine nuts from the handmaiden, Huo Lan looked at it strangely, all she had seen in the village before were short-haired native dogs, and this was the first time she had seen such long-haired puppies.
"Come here, I'll do a trick for you." Yun Miaoqing called Huo Lan into the room, asked her to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, then put the puppy on the ground, and patted her leg.
"Pine nuts, come!"
When Songzi heard someone call it, he twisted his buttocks and circled Yun Miaoqing twice, then suddenly stood up, stuck out his tongue and raised his head to look at his master, with bright eyes, begging someone to touch it as if he could talk.
Yun Miaoqing patted its head as a reward, then knelt down and stretched out a hand and said to it: "Songzi, how do you act like a baby?"
Song Zi took two steps back, rubbing his head in Yun Miaoqing's hands.
"Pine nuts, please give me one!"
Pine nut tilted its head, as if understanding what its master said, after a while it shrunk itself into a ball, rested its head on the ground, raised its ears high, glanced at Yun Miaoqing, then moved away, and then glanced again. glance.
"Silly dog, you call it cowardly!" Yun Miaoqing patted it on the head, and suddenly laughed when she thought of something, "But this one is quite similar.
As she spoke, she half-lifted the pine nut, teased it and asked, "What about the grievance? How can I be wronged?"
Pine nuts put down their ears, and let out a "woo-woo" sound from their throats.
Yun Miaoqing put it down in satisfaction, and pressed Huo Lan's shoulder to make her face the bronze mirror: "Huo Lan, what should I do if I feel wronged?"
Huo Lan: "..."
"So you've been treating me like a puppy!!!" Huo Lan turned around and began to fight with Yun Miaoqing. Yun Miaoqing couldn't quarrel with her, so she had to use her trump card - hug Huo Lan, so that Huo Lan wouldn't dare to mess around Moved.
"Okay." Yun Miaoqing stood and sat Huo Lan, she hugged Huo Lan, and Huo Lan's head was pressed against her abdomen below her chest, fortunately the stool was short, it would be embarrassing if it was a little higher.
"Although I live far away, I will come to see you often. You should rest in your room in the afternoon, and you should have a meal with my family in the evening. It is difficult to describe your situation in detail in the letter. I will discuss it with you in detail after the meal." They speak."
"Tonight...is your mother coming back soon?" The thought of meeting Yun Miaoqing's mother made Huo Lan a little nervous.
"Are you afraid?" Yun Miaoqing teased her with a smile, "Ugly daughters-in-law are afraid of seeing their parents-in-law. What are you afraid of?"
Then how can you not be afraid!Huo Lan thought to herself, when she lived in Liuhe Village before, there was so-and-so and so-and-so and so-and-so's house, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a terrible fight!And I heard that the richer the family, the more rules there are, and the mother-in-law has high vision and high requirements. If the daughter-in-law who married in the past is not careful, she will not know where to offend her mother-in-law.
Moreover, Yun Miaoqing's mother is the prime minister's wife. Although Huo Lan doesn't know her background, she must be a lady from a famous family.He is a lofty phoenix, but I am a country chicken. Even though I have been taught by Yun Miaoqing for nearly three years, it is at most a chicken with dyed feathers, which is far worse than others. Seeing my daughter hang out with someone like her, how disgusting I might be!
The more Huo Lan thought about it, the more she felt that her daughter-in-law would definitely not be treated by her mother-in-law, and felt bitter...
Bah bah bah!What kind of daughter-in-law and mother-in-law are all called Yun Miaoqing's nonsense!It took Huo Lan a long circle to react, and he glared at Yun Miaoqing angrily.
Yun Miaoqing smiled and snorted Huo Lan's head, and said, "Don't be nervous, my wife is very good, you will know when we meet at night."
After Yun Miaoqing left, Huo Lan spent the afternoon reviewing the etiquette she asked from Yun Miaoqing several times.Even though Yun Miaoqing told her that it was unnecessary and that she could be more casual in her house without being restrained, Huo Lan still rehearsed the rehearsal in her heart, fearing that she would embarrass Yun Miaoqing if she didn't do well.
After dark, a maid came to invite Huo Lan to eat in the front hall.Huo Lan followed the maidservant, getting more nervous as she got closer to the front hall, and almost stepped on her heels several times.
This nervousness reached its peak when she saw the beautiful woman in the front hall whom she had not met earlier. She bowed and saluted, and said "Huo Lan has seen Mrs. Huo Lan" into "Huo Lan has seen mother-in-law "!"
