Chapter 142 Growth and Shelter

"...Don't worry, I didn't die under the iron cavalry of the Huns, nor did I die under the pursuit of Fuguang's 20 troops, nor did I die under the emperor's treacherous calculations..."

Huo Yanzhi's words rang in his ears again, Hua Pingle's eyes were slightly hot.

In fact, she knew that whether it was Huo Yanzhi or Ah Li, when they were young, she failed to give them the shelter they needed.

Now that they have grown up, they no longer need her protection, and even her worries sometimes become obstacles to their progress——

Su Li asked for help and looked at Su Xianyu. He didn't want his aunt to be worried or sad, but he had a rare opportunity to go to Fuguang this time, and he really didn't want to let it go.

Su Xianyu stared at Hua Pingle, who looked gloomy, angry and sad, and tentatively said, "Miss Hua, if you are really worried about Ah Li, you can follow Ah Li to Fuguang with two good martial arts."

Hua Pingle was taken aback for a moment, and then doubted, condemning two martial arts masters to follow, to put it simply, that sent two eyes and ears to Su Xianyu's side!
Can he rest assured?

Su Xianyu bowed his hands and said sincerely, "Miss, you don't have to doubt Su's sincerity, but you need to be careful when picking someone, you can't pick familiar faces in the prince's house.

This time the lord has made extraordinary achievements, the emperor is increasingly suspicious of the lord, and he will definitely not allow the lord to put people around Ah Li."

Hua Pingle still couldn't fully clear up his doubts, but since Su Xianyu let go and said that he could fill in the manpower, it's better than not filling in, and it's better to smear the situation around Ah Li!

"Okay, I'll pick someone when I go back, don't worry, I'll pick someone from our Hua family.

Moreover, manpower, if I give it to Ah Li, it will belong to Ah Li, and I will never let them steal any secrets from you, Su Dashangshu."

When Su Xianyu saw her talking about serious matters, his expression became more relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "It's okay to steal."

Hua Pingle, "..."

This fellow is definitely tempting her to tell the truth!

Hua Pingle didn't pick up his words, thought about it seriously, and said to Ah Li, "I'll pick it up and send it to you on the way.

When asked about it in the future, you just said that you met by chance, and you recruited yourself."

Su Li nodded seriously, and asked, "How is the prince's injury? I'll go and see him."

"His injury is fine, you don't have to go to see him specially, I invite you to the palace to drink, it's just for you."

Su Li smiled and said, "It's still early at noon, we have to leave immediately, it's too late.

When we come back, it’s the same if the girl invites us to drink to cleanse us up.”

Hua Pingle was obviously very reluctant, but he didn't say anything. He let out a sigh of relief, turned around and walked back, "Then I'll go back first, and you should be careful."

Su Li wanted to say something but stopped, turned to look at Su Xianyu, but saw that he was even more distraught than Hua Pingle, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It seems that uncle is hopeless.

Su Li caught up with two steps and shouted, "Miss Hua, we are in a hurry, and there are many things that are not prepared in time.

If you are free, can you help me prepare some daily necessities and send them together? "

Xiuyuan once said that Mrs. Cheng often had to sew clothes, shoes and socks for him by herself.

He pityed her for being old and forbade her to do it, but she always sighed and said, "Brother Yuan, you have grown up.

Grandma can't teach you to read and write, let alone bear the hardships of studying hard in the cold window, and there is nothing she can do for you except make some clothes, shoes and socks for you, just let me do it."

In order to reassure her, Xiuyuan can only let her do it, and happily put it on, so as to make her happy.

In this world, the hearts of the elders are probably the same, right?
Auntie is worried that he will be working hard and taking risks. If she can do something for him, will she be as relieved and happy as Mrs. Cheng?
Hua Pingle paused, then turned to look at Su Li in surprise, "You mean to ask me to prepare some luggage for you?"

Su Li saw her undisguised surprise, and was relieved.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

"If it's not too much trouble".

Hua Pingle waved his hands again and again, "No trouble, no trouble, if you are in a hurry, start first, and I will definitely prepare everything for you."

As she spoke, she smiled brightly at Su Li, waved her hand, and led the golden retriever away in a hurry.

Since it is necessary to prepare luggage, it is natural to hurry up so that Ah Li will not be inconvenient on the road.

Su Li bowed and saluted, and straightened up until her figure disappeared behind the screen wall. Looking at Su Xianyu, who was in a trance, he tentatively called, "Uncle?"

Su Xianyu regained his senses, and slowly withdrew his gaze, "Let's go."

Su Li nodded, since the aunt agreed to prepare luggage for them, they can simply pack up and leave.

The military situation is urgent, and it is good to be there a moment earlier.

Su Xianyu's eyes fell on Su Li's Qingjun's eager face. Fortunately, Ah Li is like Ah Jie in this respect at least. He is meticulous and considerate and knows how to please her. Often a few words can turn her anger into joy. ...

……

……

Hua Pingle went back to Fuguang Palace, and told Huo Yanzhi about the matter, and said, "You go to Luohua Peak to pick two younger and more stable ones.

It’s best to pick a man and a woman, it will be more convenient for A Li to send someone to me to run errands in the future.”

With Huo Yan's response, Hua Pingle wanted to leave.

She wanted to prepare things for Su Li to go to Fuguang, so of course she had to go home, if she didn't have anything at home, she might go to Hat Alley to buy some.

Huo Yanzhi frowned, "You make a list and let the housekeeper prepare it. You stay with me."

Hua Pingle, "...This is the first time Ah Li entrusts me with work."

Huo Yanzhi immediately said, "I'm going to Fuhu Mountain early tomorrow morning."

Hua Ping smiled happily and waved his hands, "I'm afraid of you, let's go to your warehouse to have a look.

Send the housekeeper to buy what is missing, and replace it if it is not suitable."

Only then did Huo Yanzhi stretch his brows, and accompanied her to the warehouse to pick up things, and made a list for the housekeeper to buy the missing things.

After finally finishing his work, Hua Pingle looked him up and down, and said, "I haven't made clothes for you for a long time.

I should have enough time to make two small clothes today, and just pick another piece of cloth."

Hua Pingle picked out a piece of plain white satin, and counting the time, he should be able to make a suit of middle clothes before dark.

She was pretty good at drawing, so she measured Huo Yanzhi's size, and started cutting it with sewing scissors and other things.

Huo Yanzhi sat beside him holding a book, but he didn't turn a page for a long time.

Hua Pingle's estimate was quite accurate, and he could make it before dinner, but when Huo Yanzhi tried it on, he found that the shoulders were a bit narrow.

Hua Pingle looked at it and knew the reason, shook his head and laughed, "I will cut clothes for you according to the style I cut for my brother and father.

But they forget that they are holding pens, but you are holding plum blossom guns, so the shoulders should be more relaxed.

Forget it, the more I rush, the more I can’t make it in time, and I’m not in a hurry to wear it, I’m going home first, and I’ll change it for you next time.”

Huo Yanzhi pursed his lips, and suddenly said, "I'll go to Hua's family to hire after I come back from Fuhu Mountain."

Hua Ping was surprised, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

They had already crossed their horoscopes, and they were supposed to go to accept the ceremony a long time ago, but they were delayed because of Aunt Hua's return and Xiao Mingzhao's death.

Huo Yanzhi leaned over and hugged her into his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "After you marry me, you don't have to rush home like this."

"...As for the fact that Prince Fuguang said like a child's play that the wedding date is set in September, it is absolutely impossible.

King Fuguang is alone, but the girl is not, so you must not gamble with the health of yourself and your family..."

Su Xianyu's warning is still in my ears, although the possibility of him lying is not ruled out, but Hua Pingle has a very strong intuition that Su Xianyu's warning is by no means aimless.

As long as Brother Fu's going to Fuhu Mountain tomorrow may be another crisis, she doesn't have to say such things to upset him.

Hua Pingle patted him on the back to comfort him, "I'll take you out of town tomorrow."

Huo Yanzhi didn't answer her words, and said again, "When I come back from Fuhu Mountain, I will go to Hua's family to make an appointment."

Hua Ping was happy to see him staring at him, so he could only coax him, "Okay, okay, I understand, I don't want to interfere in such a matter, you can discuss it with your grandmother and the Minister of Rites."

Huo Yanzhi was silent, he knew very well that she was far less enthusiastic about their marriage than he was, and she never even thought of marrying him.

It's just that he wanted to marry him, so she said yes, that's all.

Hua Pingle didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what she said. Marriage matters were originally ordered by her parents and the matchmaker's words. She shouldn't have intervened, and she shouldn't even have talked too much.

"Then I'll go back first."

Huo Yanzhi let go of her slowly, "I'll take you home."

Hua Pingle, "...Uh, everyone is eating dinner at this time, why don't you give it away?"

In case the stink makes the whole Zhengyangfang unable to eat.

Huo Yanzhi, "..."

No, he is going to find the damn antidote now!

……

……

The news that Huo Yanzhi shot and killed Qi Gufeng and his eldest son and brought back Qi Gufeng's head quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.

The whole capital is a sensation!

Countless people flocked to the gate of Fuguang Prince's Mansion just to see Huo Yanzhi's demeanor.

Meng Jiang and other dandies rushed to the forefront. Unfortunately, because of Huo Yanzhi's injury, Fuguang Palace closed its doors to thank guests, and they couldn't get in at all.

They had no choice but to go to Washington again, and it turned out that Hua Pingle was in Fuguang Palace!

lie!

Isn't Fuguang Palace thanking guests behind closed doors?
How did Hua Pingle get in?
They had no choice but to return in disappointment, and blocked the gate of Washington early the next morning!
It is definitely impossible for Miss Hua Er to stay overnight in Fuguang Palace, they don't believe they can't stop her!
Sure enough, they blocked Hua Pingle this time and ordered her to invite them to Xinghua Village for a drink.

Of course, the most important thing is to let Huo Yanzhi go together.

Hua Pingle was sad and unhappy, "He has left Beijing and is looking for an antidote."

He went to Guangzhou Mansion in secret, and only faced enemies.

This time to find the antidote is known to the world, and it is facing "our own people" who are more dangerous than the enemy.

She was worried, but she also knew that what Huo Yanzhi said was right, her brother Fu had grown up, and she had no way to completely protect him under her wings, she could only let him face the danger by himself.

He is like this, so is Ah Li...

In just one day, the rumors in the streets and alleys were raging, and Huo Yanzhi's poisoning had been beautified as that when he fought Qi Gufeng for [-] rounds, Qi Gufeng used a dirty trick and smeared poison on the knife edge, which caused Huo Yanzhi to be injured and poisoned.

When Meng Jiang and others heard Hua Pingle say that after Huo Yanzhi returned with honor, he had to search for an antidote without stopping, they were filled with righteous indignation, and they all scolded Qi Gufeng for being insidious and cunning.

Hua Pingle listened for a while, only to hear that the outside rumors had spread like that, he couldn't laugh or cry.

She didn't bother to correct her, and took a group of teenagers and girls straight to Xinghua Village.

It was still early at this time, and there should be no people in Xinghua Village, but business was unexpectedly booming.

Hua Pingle's group couldn't squeeze in at all, so they had to go directly into the private room on the second floor through the back door.

There is a private room in Xinghua Village that she reserved for herself, and it is not open to the public.

The first floor was packed, and almost none of the guests in the private room on the second floor sat in the private room. They all gathered around the corridor and listened to the storyteller on the stand spit and talk about Huo Yanzhi's entering the Guangzhou mansion alone and taking Qi Gufeng The heroic deeds of the head.

Everyone in Beijing firmly believes that Xinghua Village is the restaurant of Wang Yue's family in Fuguang, and what the storyteller said in it must be the most detailed and true!
Hua Ping was delighted to see this situation, and couldn't help laughing.

Meng Jiangha slapped his head, "Why didn't I think of that! The storytellers in other places may be talking nonsense, but what is said in Xinghua Village must be true! Come here, don't drink any wine! Listen! Finish and drink!"

Hua Pingle, "..."

She seemed to have said it just now.

As Meng Jiang spoke, he waved vigorously downstairs, "Yan Shangshu! Yan Shangshu! Here, here!"

But it was Yan Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites standing at the gate of Xinghua Village, looking like he really wanted to come in, but he couldn't.

"Yan Shangshu! Just stay there, I'll let Anu go down to pick you up!"

Meng Jiang was the youngest in the family, and was very fond of Mr. Meng when he was a child.

Old Chief Assistant Meng often held him in his arms when meeting guests. He was lively and lovable, and he was very familiar with almost all officials above the third rank in Beijing.

Of course, that was all about him when he was a child. Now, as soon as Mr. Meng's chief assistant saw him, he wanted to ask for family law.

Hua Pingle didn't do what he said, he just sent Anu down to pick up Yan Shangshu, but picked him up to the second floor himself.

This Lord Shangshu is not as serious as Meng Laoshoufu and Cheng Shangshu, and he does not enter the private room, and stands with all the young people in the corridor listening to books with a smile.

Facts have proved that the storytellers in Xinghua Village are no different from those in other places.

If he had to say something different, it would be that he didn't blush even more when he spoke big lies, and directly boasted that Huo Yanzhi was a martial arts star descending from the sky.

But Meng Jiang and the others couldn't stop listening to it. After listening to it once, they threw their silver purses on the stage as hard as money, and asked the storyteller to repeat it ten times!

Hua Pingle, "..."

Can you be so happy to hear lies?

Meng Jiang and the others finally entered the private room after hearing all the excitement, but they were still dancing with excitement.

Meng Jiang was even more dissatisfied and reprimanded Hua Ping, "Jiujiu, what do you have to be humble with us?
It made me really think that the prince really just put two arrows on the city wall!
The prince has created such a myth that no one has ever been seen before, and you, the fiancee, should do your best to help him spread the word, so that everyone in Da Xiao will know the heroic deeds of our prince!
You even concealed it from me, a sworn brother, that's really meaningless! "

Hua Pingle, "..."

"You" the prince really just shot two arrows at the city wall, and then ran for his life.

Really didn't fight Qi Gufeng for 20 rounds, and then single-handedly challenge Fuguang's [-] troops!
Meng Jiang said that he felt dissatisfied, and turned his head to ask Yan Shangshu for confirmation, "Yan Shangshu, you were also present when the military master of the nine directions entered the palace on behalf of King Fuguang to present Qi Gufeng's head. Can you tell me whether what the storyteller said is true? ?”
