Fight the Giants

  Chapter 564 Threat

   Mrs. Wang left, Huo Xi watched her lead a group of servants away.

  Huo Nian came out from the dark and stood beside her.

  Huo Xi glanced at him disapprovingly, Huo Nian pursed his lips, "Sister, I am, just worried that she will scold my sister..."

  He eavesdropped on purpose. He wanted to know how this grandmother, who had never met, thought of their siblings.

   "Sister, does she not want us to go back home?"

   "Don't worry, my sister will handle these matters. It doesn't matter whether she agrees or not. Your surname is Zhang, and no one can change it."

  Huo Nian pursed his lips and stretched out his hands to hold Huo Xi tightly. Huo Xi smiled at him. The two siblings stood under the eaves for a long time.

   When Mrs. Wang returned to the mansion, not long after, Zhang Fu heard the news and hurried to her yard.

   "Mother, have you gone to see the two children?"

  Ms. Wang raised her eyes and looked at him: "See you. Are you running here in such a hurry that you are afraid that I will bully them?"

  Zhang Fu did not speak.

   Seeing him like that, Mrs. Wang was a little angry: "They also have my blood on them, what can I do to them? Swallow them alive or peel them alive?"

  “They have been living outside since they were young, and hope that their mother will show more care and understanding to them.”

  Mr. Wang snorted, "I'm afraid they didn't expect my love." Thinking of Huo Xi's contradicting her, Mrs. Wang was still a little angry.

   "When they are taken into the mansion, they will understand the mother's temperament, and they will have a good time with the mother."

  Ms. Wang disapproved, "Let's wait until we get it back."

  Sister Ning kept saying that she wanted Mrs. Wu to die. Can a wife of a state princess die casually?

  Bringing it in will not disturb the peace of the entire mansion, and make the people of the capital laugh for nothing.

Zhang Fu frowned and disapproved: "Mother, they have been homeless for a long time, and Sister Ning has reached the age of marriage, and it is time to take her back to the house to make a marriage for her. In the mansion, I happened to arrange for him to study in the Imperial College after the Chinese New Year."

   "Sent to the Imperial College? What about Xie Er? You let him drop out?"

  Zhang Fu was taken aback for a moment, forgetting to understand.

   "I want another quota with the emperor, and the emperor will definitely agree."

   "Which royal family has fewer children? Once you speak, others are stupid and won't speak?"

  Zhang Fu was silent.

   "Could it be that after the new year, the yamen opens the seal, and you still want to ask Huo Nian to seal it?"

  Zhang Fu did not speak.

   "I tell you, don't even think about it. Please seal your front feet, and I will kneel at the palace gate with my back feet."

"Mother!"

   "If you really don't like Xie Er, and your second brother and third brother's family, you can choose an adoptive one..."

   "Mother!" Zhang Fu interrupted her.

   His eyes were full of disbelief, "I have my own heir! And the title of Duke of England was not inherited from my father, it was awarded by my accumulated military exploits in the Southern and Northern Wars!"

   Mrs. Wang seemed to think of this too, and her face was a little embarrassed. He avoided Zhang Fu's eyes.

  Zhang Fu slowed down, and persuaded him softly: "Mother, the children are poor. They have been outside all these years and have not enjoyed the benefits of the family. Now I can no longer just sit and put them in other people's homes and let others support them."

   "They are pitiful? Have you ever thought about it, we are a family! They have been raised outside for a long time, and I am afraid that there is no family in their hearts. People who don't care about the family, why does the family want them?"

   "Mother, both children are well-raised, Nianer is pure and kind, he is not that kind of person."

   "You don't need to say more, I have my own concerns about this matter."

  Zhang Fu was deeply distressed: "Mother, are you for the family, or are you afraid of something?"

   "Joke, what can I be afraid of!"

   "Mother, the two children are sensible, and they will not do things that are not good for the family. They just want to go home."

  “It’s not that I don’t want them to go home, it’s that they themselves disagree with me.”

  Zhang Fu closed his eyes, it didn't make sense.

   For a few days, Zhang Fu didn't come to Huo's house again. Except that Huo Nian was a little disappointed, Huo Xi didn't care too much. Their family still lives how they want to live.

  The people who should be visited should go as usual, and the gifts to be given should be given as usual. After the new year, the shop will open, and the goods returned by Dongyang will be sold. Contacts in all parts of the capital must also be maintained.

  The shops and houses that Zhang Fu sent were all in the inner city, and the family didn't want to live there, so they just tidied up and planned to rent them out after the new year.

  Their family does not lack a place to live. Huo Xi also has a big house in the inner city, and only a few servants live in it all year round.

  They can't live there yet.

   Soon, the day slipped to the Lantern Festival.

  There is usually a curfew in Beijing, but from Yuan Day to Yuan Xiao, there is a curfew. Especially on the day of the Lantern Festival, the capital is filled with lanterns and festoons, and the inner and outer cities are lit like daytime. People who appreciate the lanterns stroll from the sunset to the early morning of the next day, which is extremely lively.

  Huo An was eager to try, clamoring to go to the inner city to take a cruise ship to watch the lights.

   Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai knew that someone was watching their house, so they remained unmoved. Huo An went to grind Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi didn't plan to go out either, he just planned to coax him, hang the lamp at home, and let his family appreciate it.

   Scared him: "There are a lot of people outside, what if someone steps on An An's beautiful shoes?"

  An An looked down at her little feet, and raised her toes. They were new shoes, embroidered with his favorite tiger head, which he liked very much.

   "An'an can stop wearing these shoes and replace them with old ones. She is not afraid of stepping on them, and she can also replace her clothes with old ones."

   "...But there are a lot of photos outside. If An An is robbed, I won't be able to see my parents, brother and sister."

   Shaking her little hand: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my brother has martial arts and can protect An'an. I can also let Mu Yu and the others hug me."

Well…

   "Isn't it good for us to hang many, many lanterns at home? Let's invite uncle, aunt, Mr. Qin, and people in the alley to watch the lanterns. It's also lively, okay?"

  Looking at Huo Xi calmly, blinking.

  Seeing how to grind, the grandmother just disagreed. He only said one thing, but my sister said so many words, but refused to let him go to the city to enjoy the lanterns.

  An'an's small face was aggrieved, deflated, and suddenly howled, not dryly, tears fell out.

   After coaxing for a long time, it didn't work out.

   Until noon, Zhang Fu sent someone to bring news that a private room was reserved in the restaurant, and the Huo family was asked to go to the city to watch the lanterns. If you are worried about the crowds, you can sit upstairs and watch the lanterns.

  It is not difficult for the British government to find a private room with a good view in the busiest place on Lantern Street.

   Huo Xi remained unmoved.

   After a while, Mu Yan also sent someone to spread the news, asking their family to go to the city to enjoy the lanterns. He also fixed the location, and asked someone to bring a message to Huo Xi.

  Hearing this, Huo Xi's eyes flickered, and he called Zhuifeng and others, and gave them some instructions.

   Then told Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai that the whole family would go to watch the lanterns. Yang Shi and Huo Erhuai heard that it was Huo Xi's arrangement, but they nodded in agreement and made some preparations.

  When An An heard that his sister was finally willing to take him into the inner city to watch the lights, he jumped up and down.

  Hold your head high. He said that his sister still loves him, and when he cries, his sister can't stand it anymore. snort. An An will cry next time. An An likes her sister the most.
