Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 200
Yu Tong stood in Qingxin Courtyard, heard the commotion at the door, and then knew that Lin Ruyi had gone out!According to past habits, Huo Zhengde will also return home for lunch in the near future.

She sent the servant girl out and asked her to go to the street to help her buy gold thread for embroidery. If there was no cloth shop on the street, she would go to a few more shops, and the servant girl went out with the silver.

After a while, Huo Zhengde came back, and he saw Yu Tong standing beside the lotus pond, staring at the lotus leaf in a daze, thinking that Mingzhu's girl would always accompany her in the past, and he thought that he came today because Mingzhu went to the garden party!

Out of politeness, Huo Zhengde walked over, walked a certain distance, and then stopped: "Cousin Yu Tong, why are you standing here alone, but the servant girl doesn't follow you."

Yu Tong seemed to have been taken aback and almost fell into the pond. Huo Zhengde hurried forward and caught the man's body.

It was inevitable that the bodies of the two people would touch each other, Yu Tong's face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head, looking shy, and said softly: "Cousin, cousin, I, I never mind."

The blush on his face spread directly to the base of his ears. Huo Zhengde looked at Yu Tong at such a close distance. For a moment, he was attracted by Yu Tong's shy appearance, and a picture appeared in his mind. The white shoulder blades that I glanced at in Qingxin Garden that day...

"Cousin, cousin, can you let me go?" Yu Tong's timid voice came again, and Huo Zhengde hurriedly let go of him, with an unnatural expression on his face: "Cough, it's almost lunch time , why are you looking at the lotus here?" After asking, he turned his eyes elsewhere.

Yu Tong didn't even dare to look at Huo Zhengde's appearance. He lowered his head and said, "Miss and Second Miss went to the garden party. I walked around after I came out from my aunt's side. I saw this lotus growing very well. Thinking of me There is also a small lotus pond in Qingcheng's house, so I looked at it more seriously, and after looking at it, I wanted to embroider this lotus pond, so I asked the maid to go out and buy thread for me."

Huo Zhengde nodded, thinking to himself, it turned out that Yu Tong missed his hometown this time, and then said: "You have been here for a long time, but now it's time to eat, put the embroidered lotus and so on On the other hand, let’s talk after eating.”

That tone was undeniably tough, and Yu Tong blushed again as he listened.

Looking at the person who blushes easily, Huo Zhengde's heart seemed to be touched by something, but then he was thrown away again!

Yu Tong followed Huo Zhengde to Qingxinyuan, and the servants had already arranged the meals, because Huo Zhengde wanted to go to Qingxinyuan to have a meal with her, so the servants urgently delivered the meals to Qingxinyuan, as soon as the two arrived , you can use it.

During the meal, it was Huo Zhengde who was talking, while Yu Tong was eating with his head down, or Huo Zhengde asked, and she would answer, so Huo Zhengde didn't feel bored.

Halfway through eating, Huo Zhengde's gaze attracted a small jar on the table, and he pointed to the jar and asked, "What is this?"

"This is my sweet-scented osmanthus brew. I like to drink a little every day. Because the time is short and it's not alcoholic, I didn't pour it out for my cousin."

Huo Zhengde was very interested: "You brewed it yourself, so I want to taste it."

Yu Tong just got up and poured some wine into Huo Zhengde's bowl.

The aroma of the wine was very strong, and Huo Zhengde couldn't help smiling: "Not bad, it's good wine, I didn't expect you to have such a skill."

"It's not a big deal, it's brewed to drink by yourself, so it won't be on the table."

Huo Zhengde took a sip and said, "But it's not flavorful enough, not mellow enough, but you are very honest."

After Yu Tong was praised so much, the blush on his face became more intense, he quickly lowered his head, pretended to be eating food, and dared not answer any more, Huo Zhengde laughed again.As soon as he was in a good mood, he drank too much wine, and drank the whole jar of wine in two or three strokes.

"It's still not enjoyable enough, you can brew it another day, and I'll drink it again." Huo Zhengde said.

Yu Tong nodded obediently.

After lunch was over, Huo Zhengde seemed to be drunk, his head became heavy, he looked at Yu Tong, but he had a hazy beauty, he didn't feel it normally, but now he looked at Yu Tong, but he felt that Yu Tong was so beautiful that his mouth was dry Dry tongue.

"Cousin, why are you staring at me?" Yu Tong became more and more shy when Huo Zhengde looked at him like this.

"Do you have any water here? My mouth is dry." Huo Zhengde said, his voice had become hoarse.

Yu Tong responded with an answer, and immediately stood up and poured water on the table next to him: "This dish must be salty, so my cousin feels dry. I just ate it and felt a little salty. Fortunately, I prepared it here. Tea, come, cousin, drink up quickly."

Holding the tea, he hurriedly turned around, but unexpectedly, something tripped under his feet, and the whole person threw himself into Huo Zhengde's arms, and poured the full cup of tea onto Huo Zhengde's chest.

Yu Tong was taken aback, she patted the skirt of Huo Zhengde's chest lightly and said, "Oh, what should I do, I didn't mean it."

The little hand patted Huo Zhengde's body back and forth, but did not pat the water off Huo Zhengde's body, but instead patted his thoughts, and he grabbed Yu Tong's hand with one hand.

Yu Tong was so startled, and looked up at Huo Zhengde.

Huo Zhengde's sanity was eroded bit by bit, and when Huo Zhengde came to his senses, he had already carried Yu Tong into the house, and pressed his body against it.

After Lin Ruyi's mother and daughter had lunch, they talked to the eldest princess for a long time before getting into the sedan chair and heading back to the general's mansion. Lin Ruyi and Huo Huaiyu were both in a good mood, but Huo Mingzhu was not. Well, this garden party is full of situations, and nothing is going well, so how can she be in a good mood, but no one can see that she is in a bad mood.

After the sedan chair stopped, Huo Mingzhu got off the sedan chair, seeing Huo Huaiyu waiting for her, she thought to herself, if she hadn't encountered those things today, Huo Huaiyu would not have stopped to wait for her.

She wanted to think about it, but it was not the time to care about it, so Huo Mingzhu walked towards Huo Huaiyu: "Yu'er, at this hour, the old lady is probably up too, let's go and greet her."

As soon as the words finished, I saw Cai Yixuan's servant girl running towards them, ran in front of Lin Ruyi and said: "Madam, you are back, if you don't come back again, I will find someone to invite you to the Princess Mansion came back."

It looked like something important had happened.

Lin Ruyi asked calmly: "What happened? Look at you, you look panic-stricken, that's not what I usually teach you."

The servant girl waited for Lin Ruyi to finish speaking, and then said: "The general and Miss Yu Tong are waiting for you at the old lady's place. The old lady said that this matter must be resolved with your presence. The maidservant has been waiting here for a long time."

"What's the matter?" Lin Ruyi was very upset to hear that her husband's name was put together with that little bitch Yu Tong's.

"Yes... yes..." The servant girl is still Yunying's unmarried girl after all, so she hesitated for a long time when asked how she could tell what happened after lunch today, but couldn't say a word.

Huo Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat and she thought of something, so she said: "Mother, this maid is faltering, and the matter is confusing, so let's not ask her, just go to the old lady and find out."

Lin Ruyi nodded, and the three of them walked towards Xiaocixuan.

Walking this way, I saw the maids dodging and whispering to each other. When they came to Xiaocixuan, there were many people around the door. Seeing all these, Huo Mingzhu boldly guessed that Yu Tong had succeeded. .

Although Yu Tong didn't discuss this matter with her, but Yu Tong's various behaviors before, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before her father is attacked, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

As soon as he entered the room, seeing Yu Tong's appearance confirmed Huo Mingzhu's guess. Yu Tong and Huo Zhengde knelt down in front of the old lady together. Yu Tong's clothes were neat, but his hair was a little messy, while Huo Zhengde His hair is also a little messy, and if he thinks about it, it should be because things have been bumped into him, and he didn't come to take care of himself in a hurry.

She took a quick look at Lin Ruyi, and when she saw Lin Ruyi's trembling body, she knew that Lin Ruyi had seen something. At this moment, she was probably pretending to be calm and pretending not to know.

Huo Mingzhu pretended to exclaim: "Father, Cousin, why are you kneeling here?"

Mrs. Huo ignored Huo Mingzhu, but looked at Lin Ruyi and said, "Now, the raw rice is cooked, choose a day to bring Yu Tong close to home."

The old lady Huo opened her mouth, and directly gave Lin Ruyi a knife. Seeing Lin Ruyi's pale face instantly, Huo Mingzhu exclaimed happily.

"Old lady, you, what do you mean by that?" Lin Ruyi didn't look at Huo Zhengde, she was afraid that she would rush over to give Huo Zhengde a slap, and she didn't look at Yu Tong, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but kill him on the spot Bitch, gritted her teeth, and asked Mrs. Huo with a trembling voice.

Mrs. Huo said: "Why are you looking at me with such eyes?"

"Daughter-in-law doesn't dare." Lin Ruyi suppressed the jealousy in her chest and gritted her teeth.

Huo Mingzhu thought, Lin Ruyi can hold back this, it's really amazing, but I don't know if there is a feeling of qi and blood surging, I thought everything went wrong today, but unexpectedly, there is such a big surprise waiting for her at home .

Thinking of this, he cast a look at Yu Tong that only two people could understand.

When Yu Tong saw Huo Mingzhu looking at her, the corners of her mouth curled up imperceptibly, and then she began to cry: "Wuuu, aunt, Tong'er... What can Tong'er do? If you die, you will not hesitate."

When this happened, the happiest thing was Mrs. Huo, how could she let Yu Tong die, so she hurriedly stood up, ran to Yu Tong, helped her up herself, but let Huo Zhengde kneel there He said: "My son, you have been wronged. At this time, my aunt will definitely give you an explanation. Now that you are a righteous person, don't think so much about other things. Just wait and marry in peace of mind. Your parents Bian, definitely agrees."

Lin Ruyi looked at Mrs. Huo in disbelief. Why did she split half of her husband out in a few words? Has anyone asked her if she wanted to?

"Old lady, what are you talking about? What is a Zhengde person? Yu Tong, how did I treat you on weekdays, and you actually repay me like this? You...you are using this face to confuse people. I just tore off your face, and see what else you can use to seduce men!"

It can be said that Lin Ruyi was so angry that she stopped pretending to be gentle and generous, and was about to go up to beat someone, and Huo Mingzhu was so frightened that she yelled: "Mother, what are you going to do, mother, you must not do it!" what."

When Huo Mingzhu called out, everyone realized it, especially Huo Zhengde, who actually stepped forward to block Yu Tong, preventing Lin Ruyi from hitting her.
