Chapter 195 Going to the Garden Party
Huo Mingzhu expected that Huo Huaiyu would regain her freedom soon, so she came to Lin Ruyi's place early to pay her respects.As for that Situ Tiannan, Huo Mingzhu had already left him behind, because that person had lost the value of attention.

Lin Ruyi was only indifferent to her arrival, as usual.

"Mother, the eldest princess's garden party will be held soon. Huaiyu and I are both invited. I don't know how she is learning the rules at the moment."

This was a good excuse for Huo Huaiyu to regain his freedom. She knew that Lin Ruyi was probably going to go to the old lady to explain the matter.

"Hey, Mingzhu, mother is worrying about this matter, so you came here. You also saw the scene that day, that child Huaiyu was so rebellious, if she was allowed to go to the princess's garden party, something would happen Come on. If you don't go, it will be disrespectful to the Eldest Princess. If you go, if you don't tell the old lady, the old lady will definitely react in her heart. Hey."

Huo Mingzhu secretly smiled inwardly, as expected.

So, Huo Mingzhu said what she thought of: "If the eldest princess's garden party is absent, it is disrespectful to the eldest princess. I don't think the old lady will blame her mother for this matter, let alone the old lady does not want to go to the garden party. She never said that Huaiyu would be grounded, but the mother was worried that Huaiyu would anger the old lady again, so she was so strict."

"Mingzhu, you still see clearly, but you don't know, Huaiyu hates me so much, blame me for grounding her, blame me for finding a wife to teach her the rules." Lin Ruyi looked sad. .

Huo Mingzhu also pretended to be worried about Lin Ruyi: "Mother, don't be so worried, my sister is so smart and kind, she can definitely understand my mother's painstaking efforts."

"If Huaiyu is half as sensible as you, I really don't worry about it. Hey, I'm going to see Huaiyu. If Mingzhu is free, how about going together?" Looking at Huo Mingzhu with loving eyes.

Huo Mingzhu smiled and said, "I'm going. I didn't see my sister a few days ago, so I wanted to come over and take a look, but I know that my sister is learning the rules and can't be disturbed. Of course it's good to have a look at her now."

As Huo Mingzhu said, she stood up and went to help Lin Ruyi get up.

"Huaiyu has you as a sister, it's a blessing from her previous life." Lin Ruyi patted Huo Mingzhu's hand that was supporting her, and the love on her face seemed to grow stronger.

"Where is it, Huaiyu is blessed to have a mother who loves her so much."

The two women, who were at odds with each other, said these words that disgusted them, and slowly walked towards Huo Huaiyu's Zhuyu Pavilion, followed by their maids.

The scenery in this garden is also extremely beautiful, the red flowers and green leaves all over the garden are competing to bloom, attracting countless butterflies, the air is mixed with the fragrance of flowers, crowding away people's depression.

Huo Mingzhu felt that if the person next to her was not Lin Ruyi, such a scene would be impeccable.Why didn't she appreciate and enjoy this beauty on weekdays?

Huo Mingzhu was admiring the beautiful scenery when she saw Mrs. Huo and Yu Tong walking towards each other.Huo Mingzhu guessed that they should have passed through another garden, and because of the cover of flowers, she didn't see them until she came to the front.

Obviously, they also saw themselves and Lin Ruyi here.

"Mother, it's the old lady and my cousin." Huo Mingzhu reminded her, after speaking, she took a step forward with a smile and said, "I met the old lady, my cousin."

"I met my cousin, girl." Yu Tong smiled, and there was no fault in the etiquette.

Lin Ruyi twitched at her, and greeted Mrs. Huo: "Old lady."

"You are also here, and you must also go to see that girl Huaiyu. In that case, let's go together. This girl has been learning the rules for a few days. Let's go and see how the girl is learning. Don't wait until that time." Huo the face of our Huo family at the princess's garden party."

When Huo Mingzhu heard Mrs. Huo mentioned the garden party, she glanced at Yu Tong. Seeing her smiling, Huo Mingzhu understood that this matter was probably written by Yu Tong.

In her heart, she was becoming more and more satisfied with Yu Tong. She still thought that Huo Huaiyu would be released, but it couldn't be Lin Ruyi's intention. She didn't expect Yu Tong to react so quickly, and pulled Mrs. Huo over.

"Yes mother, Mingzhu and I are going to see Huaiyu. The garden party my mother mentioned is also my original intention to go to see Huaiyu. Otherwise, in order not to disturb Huaiyu's learning of the rules, even if Mingzhu proposes to visit Huaiyu, I also don't allow it." Lin Ruyi said with a respectful look.

Lin Ruyi really has the means, Mrs. Huo was disappointed with Huo Huaiyu, so she made strict demands on Huo Huaiyu. In this way, Mrs. Huo's dissatisfaction would be eliminated.Yu Tong was able to invite Mrs. Huo to see Huo Huaiyu so easily. Presumably, Mrs. Huo herself also wanted to come and see Huo Huaiyu.

Huo Mingzhu said: "Yu'er didn't see the dragon boat race yesterday, so I must have some regrets in my heart, but I bought this gadget from a vendor on the Duanyang Festival and brought it to Yu'er. , can make up for her regret."

As Huo Mingzhu said, she took out a small dragon boat from her bosom, which was the little dragon boat from the character guessing stall.

Compared with the real dragon boat, except for the size, it has not changed at all. It looks quite exquisite, especially the dragon boat is still made of bamboo.

"If Huaiyu sees this thing and let go of it after so much effort, I will blame you." When Mrs. Huo talked to Huo Mingzhu, there was no smile on her face, but Huo Mingzhu didn't care. De: "Yes, Mingzhu didn't think thoroughly."

"Give this to me. If we see Huaiyu learn well later, I'll give her the little dragon boat. If it's not good, I'll give it back to Mingzhu." Lin Ruyi came out to smooth things over.

Mrs. Huo didn't like Lin Ruyi either. She had heard Lin Ruyi's words, and she just gave her a compliment, and walked to the front with Yu Tong first. Huo Mingzhu heard Mrs. Huo say, "Yu Tong, listen to Mammy, You didn't go out to watch the dragon boat race yesterday, why?"

"Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, Qingcheng also holds dragon boat races. Every year during the dragon boat races, I will go out and stand at the head of the small stone bridge. From that position, I can see the dragon boats on the entire river. This year, I am a guest at the General's Mansion. There is a way to watch the dragon boat race, but I don’t know which bridge to stand on to watch the dragon boat race in Shangjing, so I didn’t go.”

When Yu Tong spoke, although she was smiling, she could see her longing for her hometown from those eyes. Mrs. Huo felt very distressed when she saw her like this.

"My mother is worried when my son travels thousands of miles. On the contrary, as a child, it is natural for a child to miss his family when he travels far away. This dragon boat race is because Tong'er misses his mother. Hey, after all, I blame my aunt. If my aunt can keep her promise to your parents and find a good husband's family for you, she won't let you be a master or a servant in this general's mansion at this moment. Even if I say more, you will only be yourself You are the master of the General's Mansion, and you are not used to it."

Mrs. Huo said something and sighed again and again. Huo Mingzhu glanced at Lin Ruyi next to her and saw her face change, but she didn't say anything.

Yu Tong took old lady Huo's words and said: "Auntie, don't be angry, Yu Tong just thought about his mother for a while when the dragon boat race started. I haven't seen her for so many days, I just think about it."

The appearance of Yu Tong was afraid of being told that he didn't know what to do, so Huo Mingzhu said: "Yesterday I forgot to invite my cousin to watch the dragon boat together. If not, my cousin would not be in a bad mood because of homesickness." .”

"You can't blame the girl. In the past, the girl always came to accompany me. Yu Tong was very embarrassed." Yu Tong turned around and smiled at Huo Mingzhu, which was a polite answer to Huo Mingzhu.

Having said that, the group's conversation is over, because Zhuyu Pavilion has arrived.Lin Ruyi, who had been silent all this time, walked up to Mrs. Huo and said, "Old lady, let's go in."

"kindness."

The door of Zhuyu Pavilion was open, and a group of people walked in one after another, and saw Huo Huaiyu in the inner room writing something, and the master at the side was also reading with a book, and when he saw a few people coming in, he got up, He bowed his hands to the person who came and saluted. After the salute, he stood aside and waited for questions.

The layout of Zhuyu Pavilion is very large, the front room, the inner room, and then the boudoir.Therefore, Huo Huaiyu learned the rules and didn't need to find another wing room, just stay in her room.

Huo Huaiyu heard the sound, looked up, first saw Lin Ruyi, who was about to stand up with a smile, and then saw Yu Tong, his face sank immediately.

As soon as Lin Ruyi saw Huo Huaiyu's face, she hurriedly said, "Huaiyu, the old lady came to see you, why are you just sitting there?"

Maybe it's because of the confinement of the past few days that tempered Huo Huaiyu's temperament a bit. Upon hearing Lin Ruyi's words and seeing Lin Ruyi's wink, she hurriedly stood up from the stool and walked quickly to the old lady Huo, Respectfully saluted: "Old lady."

"En. Girl Huaiyu, how are you doing?" Mrs. Huo asked.

"Very good, Master taught you very well." Huo Huaiyu said.

A faint smile appeared on Mrs. Huo's old face. She was very satisfied with Huo Huaiyu's performance, so she said, "It's very good. There has been such a change in just a few days. I think you can do it at the Princess's garden party." Fighting for the Huo family's face."

Huo Mingzhu just sneered in her heart, Huo Huaiyu just made such a salute and said a few words, that means she has learned well, I am afraid this nature is still hard to change, it can be seen that the old lady deliberately let her go.

So Huo Mingzhu smiled and said to Huo Huaiyu: "Yu'er, you have suffered a lot these past few days, but you have become more obedient and smart. The old lady and mother must be very happy."

Everyone loves to hear good words, especially the compliments from those who have been compared all the time. After hearing Huo Mingzhu's words, Huo Huaiyu was very happy: "Sister, are you laughing at me? No matter how much I have everyone's demeanor, I can't compare with you." on yours."

"Yu'er, look at what you said. I grew up in a border town. You don't know what kind of place it is. It's in a remote village. But once I return to Shangjing, people who see me will probably secretly laugh at me as a country girl." , Huaiyu has been loved by the old lady and mother for many years, how can it make people laugh?" Huo Mingzhu laughed at herself, but she gave Huo Huaiyu a lot of face on the bright side.

Huo Huaiyu was really useful, with a proud face, he also squinted at Yu Tong, as if she had already compared Yu Tong.

Immediately, she acted like a baby and said to Mrs. Huo: "Old lady, are you talking about the princess's garden party? You came to see me this time because of the garden party?" Ru Yi's body.

Lin Ruyi nodded at her.

Huo Huaiyu then said: "Then I can get a day off to attend the princess's garden party."

"You girl, you must have wanted this fake for a long time, right?" The smile on Mrs. Huo's face did not disappear. Huo Mingzhu saw it in her eyes, and she knew in her heart that Mrs. Huo really loved Huo Huaiyu.Even if the quarrel is so unpleasant, but after all the feelings under Cheng Huan's knees all these years...

Huo Mingzhu thought this way, but she didn't like it, and she didn't feel envious. Instead, she wanted to thank her grandmother and aunt for raising Huo Huaiyu so pampered!
