Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 172
Even though Huo Huaiyu heard that her mother had a plan to deal with those two people she hated, An Nai couldn't help but want to teach those two people a lesson.

So he asked the two of them to go out for a walk the next day.Fearing that the two people would disagree, she went to Mrs. Huo and told the old lady that she wanted to take her cousin to the rouge and jewelry shops to make her cousin happy.

Of course the old lady was willing, and gave back a lot of silver, so that Huo Huaiyu could buy whatever he liked, and the most important thing was to enlighten Yu Tong more.

Of course Huo Mingzhu was also in the range of invitations, and she didn't want to go, but why not watch a good show, she wanted to see what else this Huo Huaiyu could do.And I agreed.

So the three of them took a few maids and guards and went out.

A group of people went straight to the most famous rouge shop in Shangjing. Huo Huaiyu went in familiarly, greeted the shopkeeper, and asked for the latest rouge.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Ms. Huo really came at the right time. No, a batch just arrived. They came from the Western Regions. They are made of the most regular South Sea pearl powder and rubbed on the face. The skin is delicate and smooth, which is most suitable for you, miss."

After finishing speaking, he handed the rouge into Huo Huaiyu's hands, and then said: "Look, this box of rouge is also very delicate, from the outside, you can see the appearance of pink and tender rouge inside, but girl, be careful , although this box looks good, if it is not held firmly, it will break if it falls on the ground."

Huo Huaiyu took a look and thought it was very good, so he said to Yu Tong: "Cousin, you should come and see, this is really good."

Yu Tong came out with the mentality of just accompanying Huo Huaiyu, and she hadn't completely forgotten about Xu Junru, so when Huo Huaiyu called her, she couldn't hear it immediately, and Huo Huaiyu insisted on calling her many times before she realized it.

He reached out to grab the rouge, but unexpectedly, the rouge fell to the ground.

Huo Huaiyu suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the rouge on the ground and said: "Cousin, why are you so careless, this is very precious rouge, although my general's mansion does not lack this little money, but this money is very important to you , but it is an astronomical figure, yet you are so careless."

Huo Huaiyu put it bluntly and even more viciously, calling Yu Tong a pauper, yet he dared to break such a precious thing.Said Yu Tong until his face turned pale.

Huo Mingzhu felt that it was almost the same, so she began to persuade: "Sister, my cousin is also from my family, if the old lady hears this, she will talk about us, after all, she is still outside."

Huo Huaiyu originally wanted to teach these two people a lesson. Huo Mingzhu came out at this time to give Huo Huaiyu a chance, only to hear Huo Huaiyu say: "Sister, why do you always act like you know everything, like a great saint, to persuade this , Persuade that, I won't listen to you, I won't give you the money today, you can figure it out yourself. It's really unlucky, and the good fun will be swept away."

In fact, Huo Huaiyu was very happy in his heart, he had gotten Yu Tong.

This poor country bumpkin, seeing how to resolve such a matter, immediately took his maid and left.Huo Mingzhu and Yu Tong were left in place.

When they came, Huo Huaiyu told them that they don't need to bring a lot of money, she has enough money on her body, which was given by the old lady.I don't know if Yu Tong really didn't bring it, or if he wanted to but didn't have much to bring.

But Huo Mingzhu brought it, and Huo Huaiyu was so obvious that she wanted to hide it, Huo Mingzhu wondered if she couldn't do what she wanted to do, just this way, and he didn't know how he deceived her in the previous life.

Huo Mingzhu was thinking about it first, and felt that she was really stupid.

"Hey, shopkeeper, I'm really sorry, do you still have this rouge?" Huo Mingzhu said to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "It's true that there is only one copy of such a valuable box, because the price is so high, and the merchant from the Western Regions only brought one, so there is only one."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Huo Mingzhu and Yu Tong again, and then he couldn't hold it back, so he said: "What should I do, this thing is useless if it is like this, Miss, look, this can't let Xiao The store suffers losses, and the small store operators are small businesses, you see..."

Of course Huo Mingzhu knew what to do, but she would definitely not be able to send it up, as this would be a disadvantage.And she also wanted to let Yu Tong understand more who was worthy of her friendship.

For Huo Mingzhu, Huo Huaiyu's behavior was not embarrassing her at all, it just forced Yu Tong to fight their mother and daughter even more.What a good thing this is, why is Huo Mingzhu unwilling to accept such kindness.

If Huo Huaiyu were to know that her actions not only failed to embarrass the two of them, but also established a formal enemy for herself, she would probably cry so hard that she didn't even have to shed tears.

After Huo Mingzhu paid the money, Yu Tong said, "Thank you, miss."

Huo Mingzhu smiled indifferently: "Don't worry about Cousin, it's all Huaiyu's childish temper, so don't bother with her."

"Oh, I definitely don't care about it." Yu Tong said.

Looking at Yu Tong's appearance, Huo Mingzhu understood whether he didn't care about it or not.

It was night, Huo Huaiyu knew that today's actions did not embarrass those two people, at most they just spent some money, she was very angry.

She obviously told them not to bring too much silver taels, but Huo Mingzhu brought enough silver taels, how could this not make Huo Huaiyu angry.

"Huo Mingzhu, I knew that she never took me seriously. I clearly told her not to bring so much money, but she did the opposite. It made me mad."

Lin Ruyi said: "You told her yourself about your actions."

"Where did I tell you?" Huo Huaiyu said angrily.

"It's good, but it tells people that they don't need to bring so much money. What do you think Huo Mingzhu will think?" At this time, Lin Ruyi felt that her daughter was innocent and powerful. Huo Mingzhu's opponent.

Huo Huaiyu was so angry that he cried: "Damn it, I knew it, that person is just pretending, he pretends to be a good person all day long, but he is so insidious."

But she didn't think about it, if it wasn't for her own intention to harm others, how could others prevent it from happening.

"My son, don't cry, after a while, the mother will make those two people unable to cry." Lin Ruyi said fiercely.

"Mother, you are the best for me." Huo Huaiyu threw herself into Lin Ruyi's arms, acting like a baby.

In that room, the mother and daughter are like this, and in this room, there are also people from Huo Mingzhu's side.

Huo Mingzhu had expected that this person would come, and had already prepared food and waited.

"Why do you think that I will definitely come." The person who came was Yu Tong. She was wearing a dark long dress, and she couldn't see clearly in the night unless she looked carefully. She came here in the dark alone.

In this huge general's residence, daring to walk in the dark without fear of being discovered by the guards and being regarded as a thief, Huo Mingzhu still admires this courage.

Huo Mingzhu got up, led Yu Tong into the room, and said: "It's spring, and the dew at night is also very hurtful. Cousin, don't stay outside too much. As for why I knew you would come, it's certainly not a coincidence." .”

Yu Tong immediately understood what Huo Mingzhu meant.He was obediently dragged by Huo Mingzhu to the square table and sat down.

Huo Mingzhu pointed to the food on the table and said: "Cousin, come, eat something, if you have anything to say, let's talk slowly, this Sulu is really, it's so late, and she still likes to wander outside."

After a pause, Yu Tong immediately understood what Huo Mingzhu meant.Looking at the food on the table, she said, "Young lady is so caring. She has prepared food and a place for Yu Tong to feel at ease."

Huo Mingzhu smiled, picked up a piece of pastry and said: "This is chestnut cake. There are no such chestnuts at all, because they are not in season. If you want to eat them, you have to have them in late autumn, but they do exist in Shangjing now. How nice it is that people who love it don’t have to wait for the right season.”

Yu Tong could hear something about these words, and Yu Tong was looking for Huo Mingzhu's alliance in the first place.

Just now when Huo Mingzhu said that Sulu was still wandering outside at such a late hour, she told Yu Tong that she could speak freely and there were guards outside.

However, Huo Mingzhu was still unwilling to trust Yu Tong completely after all, so her words were very dark.

Just like the chestnut crisp, it is also said to be dark.

But Yu Tong heard the deep meaning, and murmured: "Miss Linglong's heart actually knows why Yu Tong came here. When Yu Tong came, she was also panicked. But thinking of all the past, I know that the girl has a heart. A calm heart, and Yu Tong also knows that the girl is not as beautiful as she looks."

Having said that, it is already very obvious.

Huo Mingzhu looked at Yu Tong with a smile, and encouraged her to continue. This is also Huo Mingzhu's test of Yu Tong, to see how much she believes in herself and how much determination she has.

Yu Tong had been prepared for a long time, so he opened his mouth and said, "Yu Tong has been troubled by one thing, I wonder if the girl can answer one or two things."

Huo Mingzhu said in her heart, here she comes.

So there was a calm smile on her face, and her tone of voice was still that of the usual gentle and gentle Miss Mingzhu: "Cousin, please tell me, if Mingzhu knows, she will definitely not hide anything."

Yu Tong got Huo Mingzhu's guarantee, so he looked at Hou Mingzhu very seriously and said, "Yu Tong dared to guess that the girl must not know about Xu Junru's matter, but she said at that time that there must be something about Yu Tong in it." I don’t know. As for those who don’t know, Yu Tong believes that if the girl thinks that Yu Tong should know, she will definitely know.”

Huo Mingzhu smiled lightly, motioning for Yu Tong to continue.

Yu Tong suddenly had the illusion that this Huo Mingzhu was hiding much deeper than she imagined.

At this moment, she couldn't tolerate her backing down. She had to trust Huo Mingzhu wholeheartedly, otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stay in Shangjing.This is still light, and if it is serious, maybe she will lose her life because of it.

Immediately, he continued: "Now, Yu Tong's marriage has been postponed, and my aunt will definitely not point me to others at will. When I find a suitable candidate, all I need to do is to work hard in the general's mansion. stay. For this reason, I am here now."

Huo Mingzhu smiled and said: "Biaogu doesn't need to be so serious, what you expect is what Mingzhu has been doing all the time, if you found me, you should have already seen it, Mingzhu didn't say anything clearly."

Yu Tong finally smiled and said: "Yu Tong knows it, and he will definitely not misunderstand the person. The girl is a trustworthy person."

"My cousin flattered me too much, and Mingzhu just wants to stay in the general's mansion well, that's all."

This means that the two people have already talked about it, and they are both like-minded people who will help each other. This is what is said under the facade, and it is good for the two people to know in their hearts.Huo Mingzhu was very happy in her heart, and thought to herself, it is comfortable to talk to smart people, and there is no need to waste any words.

And she will only present a part of herself to Yu Tong, so as to help Yu Tong and disturb the muddy water in the General's Mansion. As for the fact that she wants to get rid of these people, she won't say anything.It's absolutely impossible to say that this Yu Tong can't say that she will become her mother later.

Thinking of this, Huo Mingzhu was impatient to see that scene.

"Come on, Cousin, eat something, and taste it." What followed was an irrelevant conversation. The two relaxed people chatted and laughed, and the time passed quickly.
