Zhan Zhumen

Hearing Huo Xi's question, Zhang Fu glanced at his son on the other side.

I just feel comforted in my heart.

The pair of sons and daughters that Rou'er left for him are very dear to him.Nian'er has also grown up now, and now she is by his side, like a qualified and excellent prince.

Before Zhang Fu could speak, Huo Nian replied, "Well, I want to go with my father."

Seeing his son's determined face, Zhang Fu smiled, "Our Zhang family has been in the army for generations and started with military exploits. Although the family has hereditary titles, titles with real power and titles without real power are completely different. If we want to keep the family prosperous, we need Be diligent at all times, strengthen yourself, and don't be arrogant or impetuous to make things happen."

After speaking to the pair of children, he took another look at Mu Yan.

"My son-in-law, please remember." Mu Yan cupped his hands towards Master Taishan.

"En." Zhang Fu responded with satisfaction.

Then he said to Huo Xi: "Don't worry about your younger brother. He has grown up, and he has to fight for his own future. When my father was 12 years old, he went to the battlefield with your grandfather to kill the enemy. Your grandfather is cruel. The soldiers and guards are not allowed to take care of the father."

And he assigned Nian'er his own soldiers and escorts to protect his son comprehensively at all times.Besides, there are Tayue and others beside his son, so he is not very worried about his safety.

Moreover, Zhang's mansion was conferred with military merits and passed on to their sons, so they can't be useless.The son himself is diligent, and he only feels relieved.

Huo Xi still remembered her grandfather, remembering to have a straight face to outsiders, and to be very fond of her eldest granddaughter, so she missed her very much.

"I'll go to the ancestral hall to offer incense to my grandfather in a while."

Zhang Fu glanced at her and smiled gratifiedly: "It's not your grandfather who loves you. The grandchildren love you alone."

Huo Xi learned that the father and son would rebel against Annan soon, so when offering incense to his grandfather, he chatted with his grandfather for a long time, asking him to bless their father and son and return in triumph.

In the afternoon, the couple took Xiao Yuer to Huo's house again, had dinner with Yang's Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu's family, and then returned to the mansion.

Since the third day of the first lunar month, Huo Xi has never been idle.First went to Dingguo Mansion as a guest, and then entertained guests at home, so busy that he never had a moment to relax.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Dong Chuxue came to the door, bringing generous gifts.

Holding Huo Xi's hand, with tears in his eyes: "Thanks to my sister's help, my elderly grandparents were able to leave the exile village. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be buried in a foreign land in this life."

Back then, it was Huo Xi's younger sister who helped her contact her grandfather and let her escape from that family. Only then did she live a happy life with both sons and daughters and her husband cherishing her.

"What are you doing with these kind words? Now we are considered relatives. My cousin married your cousin. Our two families are really relatives."

"My sister is right. Originally, we couldn't even climb up to a noble relative like my sister, but my sister didn't dislike her and took care of her everywhere. In my heart, I really don't know how to repay her."

"What repayment, your grandfather's family has also planted high-yield crops these years, and the emperor has seen it. And your grandfather is the same as mine. It was just a fault of being implicated at the beginning, and there is no serious crime. It is the emperor. Sacred Heart is clear, I have no credit for it."

"Why isn't it your credit? If it wasn't for my sister who helped plan and brought my grandfather's family everywhere, how could they get away with it."

Huo Xi smiled, she couldn't get rid of the whole family, leaving her cousin Mingjin alone in the exile village.It is also impossible for her to reconcile, she is also a mother now.

"My grandfather liked your cousin, the grandson-in-law, very much. I heard that he was often caught by my grandfather. Because of his good handwriting, he was actually caught by my grandfather to copy a lot of things."

Dong Chuxue laughed while listening.

Afterwards, the smile faded away, "I only have this one cousin, who was cultivated by my grandparents since he was a child. He is a well-known talent in the capital. Now his future is ruined... Fortunately, he can come out of the exile village now. And my cousin's son will be able to pass the imperial examination to become an official in the future. When I got the news, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep. I wanted to thank you right away."

"You didn't come, how many gifts are there? Including today's gift, how many times have you moved here?" Huo Xi teased her.

"What kind of gift is that! Compared with what you have done, it is nothing compared to what you have done."

"Aren't you afraid that your man and uncle will have opinions?"

"My man listens to me, and my uncle and sister-in-law are also very sensible, and they regard my elder sister-in-law as my mother. I only know what life is like now. When I think of the crimes my mother suffered in the Dong family, I can't recall..."

Just thinking about it hurts, hurts my heart and lungs.She never went back to Dong's house in leisure.The mother is gone, and there is no one she cares about in that family.Later, when her grandfather returned to Jiangnan, her grandfather's home became her natal home.

"Yes, your husband's house is quiet, you can just live your life with peace of mind, and ignore other troubles."

"I listen to my sister. Thanks to my sister and the eldest son, I have a good life in my life. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will follow in the footsteps of my mother."

I can't even think about it, but when I think about it, I feel wronged for my mother.

"How did my sister plan to help your grandfather? Does the Li family want to go back to their original place?"

Huo Xi shook his head, "No. The Li clan has expelled my grandfather's family and divided them into separate clans. What are they going to do when they return to their original place? After they receive the pardon document, I will pick them up to live near the capital."

Dong Chuxue sighed, "Then he's a bully and fears the hard, and he's used to doing things that make people worse. When he sees people proud, he attaches them like leeches, and when he sees them in trouble, he wishes he never knew them. Although the Shao family didn't exterminate my grandfather's family, But I also feel ashamed of my grandparents' family. I don't think my grandparents will go back to their hometown."

Huo Xi nodded, and went back to his hometown. The sarcastic remarks from his tribe was another blow.It is better not to return.

"Your cousin is the only one left in your grandparent's family, and my cousin is my cousin from the Li family. Mingjin probably wants to be a family together."

"That's great. Back in the south of the Yangtze River, no matter where you are, you will be close to the capital. Then I can visit you once or twice to do my mother's filial piety."

The two chatted about homework and raising children, and the days went by.

Dong Chuxue also returned with a pair of children after having dinner at the Duke of Qian's mansion.

When he left, he still held Huo Xi's hand and said, "It's my younger sister who will teach the children. Look at Yu'er, who is less than three years old, so she doesn't need a nanny to chase after him to feed him. He can eat by himself, just like a little adult." , don’t worry about it at all.”

Xiao Yu'er went to the table to eat with the adults, and Dong Chuxue's two children insisted on the table after seeing her.

But they have always been chased by the nanny to feed them, and they do it themselves and sprinkle it everywhere.He also refuses to be fed, and the older children have already developed self-esteem and a sense of competition, so they insist on eating with Yu'er.

Xiao Yu'er always eats deliciously and is not picky about food, which inspired Dong Chuxue's two children to eat a lot too.Dong Chuxue was overjoyed to see her.

"When I get back home, I will ask their father to imitate Yuer's small high chair, pocket hanging, bowls and chopsticks to make them a set, and then I will have dinner with us adults. Today they eat well, if their father knows How happy are you?"

Huo Xi agreed very much, and kindly put forward some opinions, and said: "Xiao Yuer likes his friends to play with him the most. If he has time, he can bring the two children over to the house to play. If he has time, let the servants bring them. Yes. My uncle often asks his servants to bring two children to play with Yu'er. Children at this age like to be company."

"Okay. Just as long as you don't get bored."

"It's not too annoying, Yu'er is probably reluctant to part with his older brothers and sisters." The two looked at the children, and they really held hands, as if they were reluctant to leave.

Get busy, time flies by.In a blink of an eye, it is the twentieth day of the first lunar month, the day when the yamen opens the seal.
