Fight the Giants

  Chapter 227 Reply

  Xiping Houmu Mansion.

   Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Cheng, greeted her mother-in-law, Mrs. Geng, and a large family from the southwest at the gate of the mansion.

   "I'm bothering my sister-in-law." The fourth master Mu Xin supported Princess Changning to say goodbye to Cheng Shi. Princess Changning does not have a princess mansion, and the whole family has returned to the Mu family's old house.

   "Fourth brother, you're being polite. I think the mansion is too quiet. It will be lively when you come back." After Cheng finished speaking, he looked down at Mu Jie, who was leaning on his concubine's grandmother Yan's lap, with a loving expression on his face.

   Enter the mansion and sit down in the main hall.

  Mu Wang could no longer act coquettishly and pretend to be an idiot. Under Geng's stern eyes, he greeted Cheng and called out: "Mother."

  Cheng smiled lovingly: "This is Wang'er, he has grown up so much. He was born really well."

  Mu Wang didn't reply, Monkey was by Geng's side.

  Mu Yan glanced at him lightly.

   After the recognition of relatives was over, Geng returned to Song'an Hall, and Nanny Jiang brought her tea.

   "Did Mrs. Tai be too strict with Master Wang just now? It gave Master Wang a big surprise."

Geng took a sip of tea and remained expressionless: "This is the capital, not Yunnan. Yunnan has his father, and he can do whatever he wants. There are many noble relatives in Beijing, and no one will take care of him if he gets into trouble." Mrs. Cheng is his aunt, and if the reputation of disrespecting his aunt spreads, how will he gain a foothold in the capital?"

   "Madam Jun is willing to let Master Wang follow to the capital."

   After hearing this, Geng's eyebrows moved.

  What does the Jun family want, how could she not understand?

  Although Mu Zhan is a concubine, but Yan'er adopts to Dafang, then he is Sheng'er's eldest son. It's not just the Jun family who wants the position of marquis to fall on Mu Zhan's head, even she doesn't want Mu Yan to be the prince.

  Although Mu Yan is her own grandson, if she adopts her, she will be the heir of Dafang, the grandson of the Feng family.

  Feng's grandson succeeded to Jue, so wouldn't her descendants become a side branch of the Shu family?

  Princess Changning returned to Beijing and handed the sign to the palace. The next day, he was called into the palace by the queen.

   "I heard that you are not in good health, I will let the imperial doctor take a look at it. You are so young, how can you get sick all over your body, and Xing'er is still young, you have to take care of him for the sake of him."

   "Thank you for your mother's love. My son's body is not up to the mark, and the father and queen are worried. The son-in-law has searched for good medicine for the son. Now that he has returned to Beijing, he has eased up a lot."

   "That's good. Your father married you far away in Yunnan, not because he doesn't love you. Everything is for the sake of the court and society. You need to understand his painstaking efforts."

"My son is terrified. I understand the painstaking efforts of my father. The son-in-law treats my son very well. He asks for medical advice for my son, and never accepts other women. My son is also obedient and sensible. I am grateful for the love and love of my father and queen mother." .”

   "That's good." After Xu finished speaking, she leaned on the soft pillow and coughed a few times.

   "The queen mother should pay more attention to her body."

   "Well, never mind."

  After talking for a while, Empress Xu gave Princess Changning some gifts, and asked someone to send her out of the palace.

  In the evening, Emperor Yongkang entered Empress Xu's palace and served her with medicine.

   "Chang Ning said that what he met in Songjiang was a water thief."

  Emperor Yongkang nodded: "The son-in-law said the same thing."

"That…"

   "Since they say they are water thieves, I will regard them as water thieves."

   "Has Yunnan reached the point of life and death?" Empress Xu was a little worried.

   "Queen, this is a hereditary title, and Yunnan is far away in the southwestern border. Like the Tu Emperor, who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a big piece of fat?"

   "Then His Majesty just watch?"

   "Their internal affairs, of course, should be resolved internally. If they can't solve the chaos, it just so happens that I will take them out of the pot."

After Emperor Yongkang finished speaking, seeing Empress Xu's sick face, he felt pain in his heart: "In a few days, I will let the fleet set off and go overseas to find medicine for you. I heard that there are many western medicines abroad with miraculous effects. Find the medicine and come back, and your illness will be cured."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love. My body is not up to par. Please worry about it, Your Majesty."

  When Mu Yan returned to Beijing, he sent Kan Er to choose some gifts and send them to the Huo family.

  Huo Xi declined for a while, but then accepted. Hearing him talk about the bustle of the capital again, his subordinates paused.

  Kan Er talked about several exciting things, including Hou Huijing of Xincheng. Huo Xi glanced at him.

   I don't know if it was just a coincidence, or if the other party guessed something. Huo Xi remained calm, and only talked to him about the foreign goods he had sold in Songjiang and how they were sold in the capital.

"That's because you are selling less. The capital has a population of one million, and the royal family is as expensive as a cow's hair. The money in the pockets of the rich is too much to spend. Those rare goods from abroad are very fond of them. My young master bought the savings of foreigners. Box decorations, spices, our wife was very happy to see it, and praised our young master for his vision."

  Huo Xi smiled: "Our store has a small presence and limited money. We just tried to buy less to test the market's reaction. We were afraid of losing our money, but we didn't expect it to sell very well."

"There are quite a lot of people in your shop in Sanyuan Lane. Every time I pass by, the shop is full of people. My house manager said you are cheap and good. Many shops begged me to come to my house, but my house manager I like to buy from your house."

   "Thank you so much, I can't repay you. Didn't my family buy some foreign fruits last time? Come to the store tomorrow, and I'll make you something to eat."

  Kan Er was very happy: "That's great. My young master is thinking about it. I don't know what kind of fruit those are, they look so weird."

   After talking about the time to pick it up tomorrow, Kan Er will leave.

Before leaving, I remembered something again, and took out a thick letter from my arms and handed it to Huo Xi: "It's from Shangyong. The young master said that if you have a reply, you should give it to me and forward it to Jixiang Pharmacy for you." Someone will bring it to you."

  Huo Xi stared blankly at the letter handed to him, a little afraid to reach out.

  Sent from Shangyong.

  Kan Er saw her stupefied, sighed inwardly, and handed the letter forward an inch: "Such a thick letter, maybe it's all good news."

  Huo Xi took it in a daze, and looked up at him.

   "Hurry up and show it to your aunt. Your aunt is probably looking forward to their news. She should be very happy."

  Huo Xi lowered her eyes and nodded: "Yes, my aunt should be very happy."

  After Kan Er left, Huo Xi locked himself in a wing room in the backyard, fingers trembling, and rubbed on the letter for a long time before opening it.

   After reading it, I burst into tears.

   Alive, all alive. Despite all the difficulties, they are all alive. Grandfather, grandmother, uncle's family, second uncle's family, each of them is alive.

  Huo Xi covered her mouth and sobbed loudly.

  The grandfather said that the whole family was there, but his beloved daughter was missing. The grandfather said that he missed his daughter and his granddaughter Ning. The child likes to listen to stories, and he hasn't finished telling her the allusions of Mengqiu's characters, which is sighing.

  The grandmother said that she was shocked by the news of her beloved daughter and woke up several times at night crying. Said that Shangyong has a long way to go, and I couldn't make her favorite pastries for my granddaughter, which hurt my heart.

  Huo Xi read the letter several times, and saw the temptation of his grandparents in the letter.

  They must have seen what they said at the end of the letter. Grandpa must have seen his handwriting.

   But why didn't they ask about the younger brother?

  When the grandfather's family was exiled, the younger brother was clearly born ten days ago.

   Sorry, it's late today. I will post two more chapters later, a little later
