Chapter 71 Family Bliss 1
During the days when Mrs. Qin was away, in addition to the people in Hexiang Courtyard being happy, the people in Chunhua Pavilion also had a comfortable life.

After Huo Ren came down from the court, he immediately ran to Chunhua Pavilion, where his third aunt Lin Shu took off his official uniform and then put on his civilian clothes again. Unlike the strong Qin Wanfang, Lin Shu had a docile temperament, even if he had already done something. She is a mother-in-law, but she still maintains the innocence and romance she had when she was a girl.

Occasionally when she looked at her, she would blush and lower her head. This shy and timid look would easily touch the softest place in a man's heart.

I wonder if a man doesn’t want a daughter-in-law who is as tender as water, puts you first in everything, and treats you as a hero in her heart!
As a commoner and with mediocre qualifications, Huo Ren had not made any great achievements in these years. He knew that his position as a third-grade governor and censor was arranged by the emperor for his brother's sake.Therefore, since he took office, he has adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, seeking no merit but no fault in everything. Relying on this moderate thought, he has supported his family.

Even if the people around him changed one after another, he would always stay in that position.

But even with such a temper, his wife Qin Shi regarded him as cowardly and ignorant. Even his beloved son Huo Changqing looked down upon him. Now he has also passed the Jinshi examination and will soon become an official in the court. .

Thinking of this, Huo Ren sighed, not knowing whether his competitive temperament was suitable for intrigues in the government.

Although he is a third-rank official and can be considered the most talkative person in the court, compared to his colleagues, his backyard is as simple as his temperament.

In addition to Mrs. Qin, he only has three aunts. The second aunt is Huo Qingwu's biological mother. She was once the maid responsible for serving Mr. Huo. Her temperament is stable and she will not fight for it. Even after giving birth to Huo Qingwu, This daughter, but her sense of existence is still very low, she is almost a decoration in this family.

He accidentally met Lin Shu, the third aunt, when he was working abroad. Her father was just a petty official, and she was the youngest daughter in the family. They fell in love with each other at first sight when they first met, and they married her back home despite huge pressure. , in order to prevent Mrs. Qin from making things difficult for her behind her back, he deliberately ignored her for a while in the past few years. It was only after he became the third-level censor that he gradually straightened his back.

As for the fourth aunt, it was the Qin family who forced her to him. He occasionally went to her yard to stay for a while. The fourth aunt had no children, and it was the Qin family who raised her status, so he and Qin She has a very good relationship with her. In the past, she served her wholeheartedly, and her existence in this mansion is more like that of a servant.

Therefore, in the entire second house, Qin Wanfang's identity and status are unshakable. Not only is she the head wife, but she also gave birth to two boys and a girl for the Huo family, and raised them all to be successful. In addition, her natal family has also She was promoted year by year, so Huo Ren was afraid of her power, and always kept his duties under her nose. Even if he liked Lin Shu, he didn't dare to stay in her yard any longer.

Now that she is fine, she has returned to her parents' home, and he can finally act according to his own temper.

After Lin Shu packed up Huo Ren's official uniform, she handed him a cup of hot tea and said, "I just came back from outside. Please use this to warm yourself up."

Huo Ren looked up at her and felt warmth on his hand. He smiled knowingly, and then stretched out his other hand to take Lin Shu's little hand.

"Master, what are you doing?" Lin Shu said shyly, "It would be bad if others saw it."

Lin Shu's eyebrows are very delicate, which is different from Qin's shrewdness. Lin Shu is like a famous lady who grew up in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Her every smile touches Huo Ren's heartstrings.

Huo Ren held her hand and slowly rubbed her palm with his fingers, as if he couldn't put it down as if he were a precious jade. His biological mother had a low status, and he had not been favored by his father since he was a child. In addition, he had this outstanding brother. , his childhood was always like a weather shrouded in dark clouds. Occasionally the sun would peek out from the thick clouds, but it could never dry up the moisture in his heart.

Although he is now a father, he still yearns for the warmth of his mother holding him when he was a child.

He said to Lin Shu: "No, there is no one else here, and there will never be anyone else."

Seeing her husband's hurt expression, Lin Shu reached out and hugged him, then gently patted his back and said, "Master, don't be sad, Shu'er is still here." The emotions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time finally came to light at this moment. After getting the burst, Huo Ren buried his head on her chest, and then said to her in a very small voice: "I am very tired."

What Lin Shu has more than Qin's is this ability to soothe people's hearts.

While the two couples were flirting, Huo Changqi ran out from outside and shouted: "Mom, are you ready to play Cuju? I want to play."

He is about the same age as Huo Changbai, and because of his lively age, when his grandmother, who met Huo Changbai a few days ago, came to see him, she specially brought him a Cuju. When the two of them were playing together, they accidentally There was some friction, and the other party pushed him to the ground, and then said loudly to him: "My grandmother gave this to me. If you want to play with it, ask your grandmother to give one to you!"

But his maternal grandmother passed away long before he was born, so how could she make Cuju for him?

So when he told his mother what he said, she fell into a long silence. After a while, she touched Huo Changqi's head and said, "That's their thing, let's not fight with them. If you like playing Cuju, I will make one for you."

"really?"

"Uh-huh."

Huo Changqi was young and couldn't understand the sadness in his mother's eyes. Several days had passed and he couldn't wait any longer.

Lin Shu looked at Huo Changqing who was running and sweating profusely. She took out her handkerchief and wiped his sweat while saying: "When your brother Changqing was your age, he had already read many books, and you are still here all day long." Thinking of having fun.”

Seeing his mother say this, Huo Changqi thought it was because his Cuju was gone. He immediately said coquettishly: "Mother, you promised me, you promised me."

Huo Ren looked at the way the mother and son got along, and felt relieved in his heart. He estimated that the most home-like place in the entire Duke Rongguo Mansion was Chunhua Pavilion.

He picked up Huo Changqi and said to him with a fatherly look: "What did your mother promise you? Tell me, if she can't do it, I will do it for you."

"Master, please don't spoil him. Changqi is already so old. If you don't set rules for him, he probably won't be able to sit still when he goes to school."

"If you can't sit still, you can't sit still. My Huo family can afford it." Lin Shu was shocked when these words came out of Huo Ren's mouth.

At this time, Huo Changqi told him that he wanted to play Cuju. Huo Ren said jokingly: "Is this why you came here so early in the morning to bother your mother?"

"But this is what my mother promised me."
