Fight the Giants

  Chapter 470 Missed

  Hearing that the Gong family sent someone to the door, Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi paid great attention to it. When the couple received the invitation, Tete waited at home and cleaned up the house several times, feeling excited.

   When the time came, Tete went to the door to greet her.

   Just looking at the two nurses and the two stewards of the Gong family, with a high-spirited look, they only squinted at them when they entered the door, without even a smile on their faces.

  Huo Xi was waiting in front of the flower hall. When she saw them, she frowned. Mama Mama glanced at them lightly. She had seen too many people like this, and she didn't even need to speak. Everything was written on her face.

   "Sit, sit." Although he is only a servant of the palace family, he came all the way on behalf of the head of the family, so he can't be neglected. Mrs. Yang hurriedly greeted him warmly, and ordered his servants to serve tea and fruit snacks.

   Several members of the Gong family looked at the flower hall and sat down with disgust.

  After sitting down, he looked at Huo Xi with his eyes presumptuously. Huo Xi's eyes were indifferent, and he looked at them one by one, allowing them to look at him without saying a word.

Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Gu, He's two confidantes, saw that Huo Xi's expression and behavior did not look like they came from a small family, so they gave her a high-level look in their hearts, but they couldn't help it when they saw her in a simple dress with narrow sleeves. Live in contempt.

He raised his chin to the gifts they brought on the table: "These are all given to Miss Huo by our wife, thank you Miss Huo for helping my young master, my family is a big family in Huai'an, and the rules and etiquette never go wrong. There is no comparison between a small family and a small family.”

  Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai didn't understand the connotation, but Huo Xi did, but she didn't intend to speak.

Mother Ma smiled and said, "Thank you so much. Our lords and ladies do a lot of good deeds on weekdays, and we often do favors to others and never ask for anything in return. I didn't expect that after so long, there are still people who remember and even ran here It’s really hard work for you.”

Well…

   Several servants of the Gong family looked up at Mama Mama. Unexpectedly, there is such a powerful woman in this small family.

  Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi only felt that the other party's words were yin and yang, which made people uncomfortable, but they couldn't hear the twists and turns inside, so they glanced at Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi smiled at them and comforted them. Raising his eyes to look at Mama Mama, the husband and wife followed her gaze, and then understood, it's okay if they don't understand, just let Mamama take action.

   So just sit quietly.

   Xi'er said that Nanny Ma came from the palace, so could the servants of the palace family be as powerful as Nanny Ma?

  The couple are relieved. There was also less enthusiasm, and he only smiled and greeted them for tea.

   Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Gu wanted to humiliate this family secretly by speaking out, so that they would know their identities, and stop daydreaming about things they couldn't climb.

   Unexpectedly, before he made any moves, he was pushed back by the nanny in front of him several times.

   also became angry, and didn't intend to be too cryptic.

"Our palace family has a big business, so it is different from the other houses. Our young lady has invited female gentlemen to teach various skills, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework. I would never dare to invite a man over for dinner if there is nothing to do. If you want to invite a guest over, you have to post a greeting card, and men and women are treated separately..."

  Yang and Huo Erhuai understood this time, it means that their small family has no rules, and they think his daughter is incompetent.

  Ms. Yang was so angry that she thought that the Gong family came to see her, but she came to humiliate her? This anger. He straightened up and wanted to speak, but Huo Xi stopped him with a look.

  Mr. Yang held her breath in her chest, and stared at those people angrily.

Mother Ma smiled and said, "Yes, there are many rules in a big family. Ladies are raised at home without going out of the door. They don't know about the changes in the world. People starve to death and freeze to death at the door, and they will only stay in the backyard." Playing and singing, reciting poems in pairs."

"you!"

Mother Ma has an expression on her face: "My lord and wife are kind-hearted. When others come to beg for food, they can't be kicked out. We are a small family, and when we see a poor person on weekdays, we want to lend a hand to help, but Not just turning a blind eye, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages every month, dressed luxuriously, ran to the temple to donate the few taels of sesame oil."

   Does this mean that their palace family is hypocritical? They said that Miss Huo's family didn't know the rules, didn't know how to avoid suspicion, and attracted men to come to eat at home, so they said that the young master is a poor man, come to beg for food?

   It's just unbearable.

   Mrs. Zheng raised her neck and said, "In our Huai'an, we have never seen a lady from a family who is so unruly and even eats at the table with a foreign man. It is almost unheard of."

Mother Ma just smiled and said, "We don't have so many rules in our small family. Parents, brothers and sisters will not put up a screen between them when they have dinner. My family, even the emperor's grandson, eats at the same table with us. "

Well? The emperor's grandson? Eating at Huo's house?

   Several members of the Gong family looked at each other, thinking they heard it wrong.

  Huo Xi glanced at Nanny Ma, and Nanny Ma nodded to her, and didn't plan to say any more.

  The Gong family came to humiliate them, Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi also heard it, so naturally they would not treat them well.

  As for the members of the Gong family, after hearing that the emperor's grandson often ate at this house, they subconsciously did not dare to say more, for fear that they would miss some serious news and spoil the mistress's event.

   Ready to learn more, so I hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

  Huo Erhuai and Yang did not keep anyone. Losing their enthusiasm, they didn't even lift their buttocks, and only asked the servants to send them out.

Sitting in the flower hall, the husband and wife sulked: "Your father and I thought that the Gong family came to see each other. Unexpectedly, they actually looked down on our family! If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Let's see if we look at each other." There are many people who are eye-catching, but this is the first time someone has come all the way to speak crooked words. Tsk tsk, it's really strange, and it is said that a rich family knows the rules."

  Nurse Ma was silent.

She had looked at that Gong Ziyi coldly, and thought he was a very nice man, and he cared about her own girls. She had stayed in the homes of officials and eunuchs, and knew that officials and eunuchs had good rules. If a girl like her married into a merchant, she would not It restrained her temper and made her more free.

   just let nature take its course.

  How did you know that this big business is watching people through the door. Hmph, she hasn't despised the other party's low status and is not worthy of her own girl, but she still despises her own girl, she really doesn't know what to say.

  Give Huo Xi a distressed look.

   I don't know what the girl has in mind. She and Master Nian are grown up, don't they plan to return to their father's family? If he had an identity, why would he be picked and picked by a businessman?

   secretly sighed.

  Huo Xi didn't expect things to turn out like this. It seems that Gong Ziyi didn't do the work at home well. Their family is looking down on themselves.

  If she can marry Gong Ziyi, she won't have to abide by so many rules. Even if she goes out to do business, no one will think she's showing her face. My own business name is held by a thigh, and it will only prosper in the future.

  The most important thing is Gong Ziyi, who he also took a fancy to.

   I just didn't expect that his family didn't like him.

  If they had a different identity, wouldn't they have taken a fancy to themselves?
