Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 111 Pretending to be crazy and acting stupid ([-])
Yu Tong is just a sojourner in the General's Mansion, and he is very cautious in front of Lin Ruyi and Mrs. Huo, so he may not be able to show his heart and soul to Huo Mingzhu.

However, compared to Lin Ruyi, Huo Mingzhu is less threatening after all. After several psychological twists and turns, Yu Tong was willing to answer: "He is a young talent, and he can get along well with me. I am worried about whether he is worthy or not." Go to him. People say that he is also a son of everyone. "

Huo Mingzhu nodded, glanced at Sulu casually, and said with a smile on her face: "It seems that my cousin thinks that Mr. Xu is a good person. Although Shangjing pays attention to the right family, my cousin's family background may not be better than that of Mr. Xu. The young master is poor. After all, there is an old lady here, and the general's mansion is also your backing, so it won't make people look down upon you. Since Mr. Xu came to the general's mansion in person, there must be no family background, cousin Don’t belittle yourself and increase your troubles.”

The two walked through the garden, and Yu Tong unconsciously looked at the pavilion by the lotus pond, remembering that she played chess with Xu Junru in that pavilion, and he deliberately let her go, and finally drew...

A young girl's heart always sprouts quickly, Yu Tong sighed: "If only it were as easy as Mingzhu said."

After saying that, he felt that he was a little too emotionally exposed. Yu Tong quickly restrained himself, changed his smiling face, and said to Huo Mingzhu: "Okay, let's not talk about it, it's nothing to cause trouble. Actually, I'm not afraid of Mingzhu making fun of you. If it weren't for the good intentions of my cousin and the old lady, I really never thought that I would think about marriage so soon. Seeing that there are people who can be considered, I feel a lot of trouble."

Huo Mingzhu nodded: "It's true, if my parents are so pretentious for me, I will definitely be unhappy. But think about it, they are also impatient. Once a girl is over the age of filial piety, it really becomes more and more difficult. suffered."

"But we, Mingzhu, don't have to worry. The Ninth Prince treats you so well. Presumably no one next to you would dare to come to propose marriage? Who dares to compete with the Ninth Prince for you?" Yu Tong said, attracting Huo Mingzhu body.

Su Hui has been listening to them talking, and she laughed when she heard the words, and she recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart. Her young lady was thinking about how to calculate all day long, but she didn't want to get stuck in it and couldn't pull it out.It can be seen that when girls grow up, no matter they are poor, high or low, they gradually cannot control themselves. What they talk about outside is all about who they are attracted to, and who they see come to propose marriage.

When it comes to the Nine Princes Bailizong Law, Huo Mingzhu always has a lingering shadow, but after all, she is more thoughtful than Yu Tong and will not be provoked by her.She sighed: "Tell my cousin the truth. I never dare to think about the Ninth Prince. Compared with my cousin and Mr. Xu, the gap between me and the Ninth Prince is too great. He is a high-ranking prince. The younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor's mother, and me, my mother passed away early, the only thing I got was the love of the elders, and I am not sure about the marriage."

She spoke melancholy, entirely to match Yu Tong's state of mind, if the girls could continue chatting, Huo Mingzhu would naturally not be able to say that your marriage has no hope, but I have.They can only talk about each other's future in a more uncertain way, so that they can be heartbroken.

"Hey, you and I always feel sorry for each other, and we each have our own difficulties." Yu Tong took Huo Mingzhu's hand and got closer to her.

The two were walking along the lotus pond, Huo Mingzhu had sharp eyes, and just happened to see someone walking up ahead, Yu Tong was looking at the flowers with fascination, talking to her.Sulu saw it too, Huo Mingzhu winked and told her to keep quiet.

"Cousin, look at the lotus leaves in the lotus pond are about to..." Huo Mingzhu said halfway, then suddenly called out: "Father, are you back?"

Yu Tong was caught off guard, and hurriedly turned around, seeing Huo Zhengde walking with his hands behind his back, he stopped when he heard Huo Mingzhu's words, and said "um" expressionlessly.

"Cousin." Yu Tong quickly bowed his head and saluted.

Although Huo Zhengde is serious, he treats outsiders well. For example, he usually has nothing to say to Huo Mingzhu and rarely asks questions, but this time he said to Yu Tong: "I heard that the nephew of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has come to the mansion, how is he?"

This must be Lin Ruyi leaking the secret to Huo Zhengde, Huo Mingzhu thought, but when she turned her eyes slightly, she thought that this might be a good opportunity.

When Yu Tong saw Huo Zhengde asking about this matter, she didn't expect it at all, and hurriedly replied in a panic and embarrassment: "Oh, we met, we had a casual meal, we chatted a little bit, and my aunt and cousin also met. , I’m young, but I don’t know what to do.”

She spoke her heart in front of Huo Mingzhu, but hid a little in front of Huo Zhengde, only telling her her uneasiness, Huo Mingzhu secretly sighed in her heart, she is a cousin, she has potential, and she will become a success in time.

Let's see how her father reacts...

After hearing this, Huo Zhengde's face remained unchanged, he just nodded slightly, and said: "Marriage is a major matter, don't be careless, the old lady and your cousin are both experienced, you can ask them for advice, but don't be too nervous, there are many men in the world, you Still young, just take your time."

Huo Mingzhu really felt that what Huo Zhengde said to Yu Tong today was several times what he said to her on weekdays. If she was a petite person, she would have been upset a long time ago.It's a pity that the current Huo Mingzhu doesn't have any expectations for Huo Zhengde, looking at him, he is just looking at an enemy and an ugly boy on the stage.

At any time, men are better at talking than women. Yu Tong has prejudice against Lin Ruyi, but in front of Huo Zhengde, although he is reserved, there is no need to feel wronged. Looking at Huo Zhengde with those bright eyes, he finally smiled a little: "Thank you Cousin taught, Tong'er wrote it down."

"Hmm." Huo Zhengde's inhumanity was that he walked away after speaking without lingering, as if he had nothing to explain to Huo Mingzhu.This daughter can only be remembered by him when she is needed. The rest of the time, she is just a beautiful decoration in the house, not showing off, never causing trouble for him, and he doesn't even have to fuck.

Whether it's a wife or a daughter, once they enter a man's heart, the more they torture them, the more they will remember them deeply. Those wives and daughters who are so silent that they are almost dumb, for men, because they pay too little affection, the price they pay is too little , and they drop with ease.

This is the truth that Huo Mingzhu realized after reliving her life.

Therefore, Huo Mingzhu didn't argue about anything, and respected her father without hesitation as in her previous life, no matter how much he neglected herself.But there are some things she has to say to someone...

After Huo Zhengde left, Huo Mingzhu turned his eyes to look at Yu Tong, enviously said: "Cousin, father really cares about you, look at him, he didn't even say a word to me just now."

This jealousy is true, and when Yu Tong thought about it carefully, she also felt that it was true. She was a little embarrassed, and smoothed things over for Huo Zhengde: "How could it be? My cousin probably heard that Mr. Xu came to the general's mansion when his sister-in-law mentioned it. That's why I asked? After all, I'm an outsider."

Huo Mingzhu sighed: "Cousin, you don't know my father's temper. Most of the time, when there are guests at home, my father doesn't care much, and only my mother entertains them with her heart. So, this time you have my father's concern, and you can't help it." Don't say it's because of outsiders. How can this make me, a daughter, feel so embarrassed?"

While the iron was hot, seeing a suspicious blush on Yu Tong's face, Huo Mingzhu joked again: "Ah, the old lady said she wanted you to be our Huo family's daughter-in-law. I don't know whether it was a joke or a serious one. I think it's very suitable. Sigh, I don't know if my father is interested..."

Huo Mingzhu was talking about what happened after Yu Tong fell into a river and fell into a coma, so Yu Tong naturally didn't remember much.

Seeing what Huo Mingzhu said, Yu Tong hurriedly asked: "Mingzhu, you mean your cousin was there at that time? Did you hear the old lady say that too?"

Huo Mingzhu nodded blankly: "Yes."

Yu Tong's face turned red all the way to her ears. She turned her head away and felt that the lotus leaves growing in the lotus pond had changed color. She was both embarrassed and ashamed. She stomped her feet and said, "Old lady, what a shame! How can I live?!"

Huo Mingzhu kept all her emotions in her eyes. When it was mentioned that after she threw herself into the river, it was Huo Zhengde who carried her back to the room. Yu Tong's expression at that time was exactly the same as now.

But Huo Mingzhu didn't point it out, and didn't continue to persuade, but only solved Yu Tong's embarrassment on the surface: "Cousin, don't worry, since the old lady said that she will choose a husband's family for you, and I met Mr. Xu today, what happened before?" Of course, what you say can't be taken seriously. The old lady likes to say things that are not very appropriate when she gets older. Don't take it too seriously."

After hearing this, Yu Tong felt lost for a moment. She couldn't show it, so she nodded, her eyes still drooping: "Yes, yes. I was worrying too much."
