Chapter 88

Xu Xiaofu smiled, and put down the handwriting written by his daughter, "Lotus' handwriting has improved a lot."

He Hua shyly said: "It's all taught by my mother." The things that the nun who invited to teach He Hua were mostly things about three obediences and four virtues, only Xu Xiaofu would teach her other things and tell different stories to her. she listens to...

After talking with He Hua, Shan Cha brought over two bowls of thick boiled millet and red date porridge. After the two drank the porridge, Xu Xiaofu said: "He Hua, Mrs. Liu invited us to drink tea and enjoy the flowers tomorrow. The peonies in her place are in full bloom, so I want to take you out together."

Lotus thought about it and agreed. She is not young now, and she knows why her mother brought her by her side, and she also knows that her current status is a bit embarrassing. Mother took her out to let her learn something. In a few years, someone will definitely come to propose marriage... Thinking of this, He Hua felt a little worried, and the two fathers flashed in her eyes.She was three or four years old when she left Zheng Kai, so she remembered some things very clearly. She remembered how fierce the old woman was, and how her parents treated her mother and her.After remarrying and marrying into Xie's family, she was still ignorant, and gradually grew up, and she also knew that sometimes she would not say anything when there were maids talking about her around, she just listened quietly, and she also knew what was going on now. The general's father is a very good person, he is good to his mother, and he is also good to her.But she will marry in the future, what will the married person be like?To be honest, she was very scared, she was afraid of meeting someone like her own father...

Sighing, He Hua raised her head and said with a smile: "Okay, mother, I understand. I will dress up early tomorrow."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "That's good." The mother and daughter chatted a lot, and Xu Xiaofu left.

When Xu Xiaofu went out, his complexion was a bit down. He Hua was her biological daughter. Although He Hua was smiling just now, it could be seen that she was not happy. Xu Xiaofu knew that it was the people from the Zheng family who gave her too much shadow .Xu Xiaofu sighed, put his hands together, and prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that Hehua could find a good husband who would love her and love her.After thinking about it, He Hua is still young now, she won't get engaged until at least fourteen or fifteen years old, and there is no rush now, just pay more attention to her and check on her when the time comes.

In the early morning of the second day, after dressing up, Xu Xiaofu went to He Hua's residence. Xu Xiaofu felt both sweet and worried about his daughter's early growth.

Lotus also got up to meet her, and said with a smile, "Mother."

Xu Xiaofu held the lotus and said with a smile: "My daughter has grown up and is becoming more and more beautiful..."

Lotus Jiao said: "Mother..."

Xu Xiaofu patted her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's go out quickly."

When he went out, he only brought Shan Cha and two guards with him. The border town was quite big, and he arrived at Liu's Mansion after wandering around in the carriage for more than an hour.The mansion of Liu's mansion is bigger than that of Xie's mansion, Shan Cha handed the invitation to the butler of Liu's mansion, and the butler of Liu's mansion immediately invited him in respectfully.

Now in the early spring, the flowers are not very bright yet, but when I came to the garden of Liu's mansion and looked at the clusters of brocade, my eyes couldn't help but brighten up.The weather is fine today, the sun is shining and the breeze is breezy. Many people have already come to the garden. They are standing or sitting in twos and threes at the moment admiring the flowers.Most of them were women with their own young lady or daughter-in-law. One of the women in purple silk greeted Xu Xiaofu and He Hua immediately with a smile, "This is the general's wife, right? Although I know that the lady is here." Border town, but everyone has never seen you before, and I have invited many times without seeing anyone. It is really a joy that my wife can come this time..." Then he turned his head to the side, "This is Ling Qianjin, she is really long. It's so beautiful..."

Madam Liu said to a woman with a peach blossom face and a toothless smile standing not far away: "Qin'er, come quickly and meet the general's wife and miss, come here, Miss Hehua is only two or three years younger than you Years old, you have to take her with you."

Liu Qin stepped forward to salute Xu Xiaofu, then held He Hua and smiled and said, "Sister He Hua, don't be restrained, you must be not used to the life here when you lived in the capital before, right? Let's go, I'll take you around , in fact, our border town is also very good..."

He Hua smiled slightly and followed Liu Qin towards the crowd.Xu Xiaofu looked at Mrs. Liu now, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Liu, I'm really bothering you."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Oh, Madam, you are so polite. Madam will follow me to meet other ladies..."

Mrs. Liu dragged Xu Xiaofu to a group of women, and then introduced him to Xu Xiaofu, Xu Xiaofu remembered it carefully, but he almost recognized him.Turning his head to look at his daughter, the daughter was talking to those maids.

Looking at the lotus, Xu Xiaofu felt more at ease, and sat in the pavilion chatting with the ladies.

Mrs. Liu saw the lotus in the distance chatting with her daughter, she smiled and said to Xu Xiaofu: "Ma'am, look at the lotus and Qin'er chatting a lot, you can bring Miss Hehua over to play more. "

Xu Xiaofu nodded with a smile, it could be seen that He Hua was really happy, and it would be good to take Lian Hua out for more walks.

The lotus over there is indeed very happy, the ladies in front of her are all about the same as her, a little two or three years older than her, they are very chatty, and most of them talk about some interesting things, which makes her laugh heartily.Seeing Hehua, Liu Qin smiled happily and said, "Sister Hehua, my brother told me this. My brother is amazing, and he knows a lot. By the way, let me show you something interesting..." said After taking out an object from her body, Lotus discovered that it was a wood carving. The carving was of an eagle. The eagle was only half the size of a palm. The carving was lifelike. The wings of the eagle were distinct, the eyes were sharp, and the head was high.Lotus was indeed attracted by this gadget, took it from Liu Qin's hand and looked at it carefully, before sighing after a while: "Good craftsmanship."

Liu Qin raised her chin proudly, "Of course, my brother carved it himself and gave it to me, Sister Lotus, how about it? My brother is amazing."

He Hua smiled, the smile faded a bit, and handed back the wood carving in her hand to Liu Qin, "Qin'er's brother is very capable."

Liu Qin took it with a smile, and then carefully put it on again, the other girls quit, and said with a smile: "Qin'er, don't be so stingy, why only show it to Sister Hehua, not to us What do you see?"

But Liu Qin refused, "Just think of me as stingy. It's not like you haven't seen it before, but Sister Hehua has never seen it before. I just showed it to Sister Hehua. Why are you joining in the fun?"

The other girls laughed again.Liu Qin packed the things, pulled He Hua and started talking, all about her brother, and He Hua's smile became weaker and weaker.The other girls seemed to see something, and smiled at Liu Qin: "Ah, Qin'er, what you mean, it seems that you want to introduce your brother to Sister Hehua..."

Lotus lowered her eyes and said, "Sisters, stop joking." She could naturally see what Qin'er meant, she probably wanted to introduce her brother to herself.But how about it, first think about how old you are, and the rush to say goodbye now is probably because the general's father won the battle and wants to help the prince become a saint, and his achievements and status will be immeasurable in the future.So these people didn't dare to take daddy's idea, and put their idea on her head, thinking that she was still half of the daughter of the Xie family, so they put the chips of the family's prosperity on her head.

Liu Qin smiled and said directly, "Sister Lotus, don't listen to them. It's just that I adore my brother, so I started talking about him without knowing it."

Lotus smiled and stopped talking, just listening to these ladies chatting, she was no longer as happy as she was at the beginning. At first she thought she could find friends of the same age...

Just as they were talking, a maid came over with cakes and tea. Liu Qin smiled and said, "Try it quickly, everyone. This is the horseshoe cake newly developed by my cook. It tastes pretty good."

The servant girl put the cakes on the stone table, and put cups of tea in front of the ladies. When she brought the tea cups to the lotus, her hands shook for some reason, and the whole cup of tea was poured on it. The body of the lotus.

All the ladies stood up, Liu Qin scolded the maid, hurriedly came to He Hua, looked at He Hua's dress stained by tea, and said: "Sister He Hua, you are fine, this girl is really clumsy, hey, What should I do if the clothes are all dirty?" After thinking for a while, he said, "Sister Lotus, why don't you follow me to my room to change clothes? Sister Hehua is tall, so my sister should be able to wear my clothes. I just hope Sister Lotus, don't be disgusted."

He Hua raised her head, and glanced at Liu Qin with a half-smile. This person really thought she was a fool, and went to her boudoir to change clothes so carelessly. If she ran into the brother she kept talking about, wouldn't everyone be able to witness that she was with her? A foreigner ran into her in the room, and then she was only engaged to the Liu family?Although Hehua doesn't go out of the house often, Xu Xiaofu has taught her everything that Xu Xiaofu should have taught her, including the human heart and calculations.

Liu Qin was a little flustered when she saw He Hua's eyes, and she began to dodge her eyes. In fact, she was a good girl, but mother-in-law tortured her hard.It is said that their Liu family is also a big family, but after that, it gradually fell into disrepair. Now only by letting the elder brother marry a good daughter-in-law can the Liu family regain its prestige.Moreover, Hehua is the only person in this city who is suitable. Although she is not the general's own daughter, a maid in Xie's mansion said that the general treats Miss Hehua very well, so if Hehua can marry into their family, the general will definitely tell the elder brother. One official job, so the whole family can go to the capital... She also had no choice but to calculate the lotus flower according to what her mother said. She thought that this 11-year-old girl would follow her to the boudoir to change clothes. , but didn't want to look at her with this kind of eyes, did Lotus guess something?
