Yang also knew that she would not agree to go alone. Hearing this, she nodded: "You are the first to go back to the house, and it's reasonable to let your husband accompany you."

Yang sat for an hour and then left. Xie Wan sent him to the door and turned back to his room to continue to sleep.

When Yin Yu came back in the evening, Xie Wan was sitting outside the lawn for a nap. In the distance was a vegetable garden, and Xiu Gu was watering vegetables. Now their vegetable field has made small achievements. A lentil seedling climbs up the fence, a leek field is green, and more than a dozen plots of land have been reclaimed, and they will be sown as soon as the season comes.

The rhubarb cat raised by the cook Aunt Mai lay under Xie Wan's feet, squinting her eyes and snoring lazily.

Xie Wan dragged a boy out and sat him under the fence, then touched the hair on the cat's back and told him about Yang's arrival.

He picked up the tip of the grass in his hand and thought for a moment and said, "Since it's an invitation, I have to go there. I'll go with you."

Xie Wan also thought so, but she didn't think that Mrs. Huo suddenly changed her attitude and asked her to go to the house, just to make up for her fault. The relationship between the Huo family and Yin Yu is unclear, and she has to handle the proportion of her. She turned her head and said, "So, I don't know whether I should respect the old lady as a grandmother or the wife of the protector tomorrow?"

Yin Yu scratched her ears with the tip of the grass in her hand. "She treats you as your granddaughter-in-law, and you respect her as your grandmother. If she treats you as another daughter-in-law, you will treat her as the wife of the protector.

This is very clear.

But Xie Wan was also tickled by him. She was annoyed and pulled a dog's tail grass and threw it into his neck and ran away.

That night, Yin Yu asked someone to go to the Protectorate to reply. The next morning, after breakfast, the two of them packed up and went to the Protectorate.

Yang and Luo Qin welcomed the two into the Yuqing Hall of the main courtyard under the second door. Mrs. Huo waited in the hall with a smile. The three girls in the house were originally standing beside Mrs. Huo. Seeing Yang and others surrounded by Xie Wan, they also greeted them, looked at Xie Wan with a smile, and bent down to bless her.

Xie Wan nodded to them. First, he saluted Mrs. Huo from Shangfang with Yin Yu, and then asked Yang, "Dare, this is the second girl, three girls and four girls in the house, and I don't know how to call them."

Before Yin Yu came, he told her that there were four girls in the house, but now the eldest girl has married, and there are still three young sisters left.

Yang smiled and pulled over a girl with a long figure and introduced, "This is the second girl Huo Sha, the daughter of the second wife, who is thirteen years old." The girl with a round face smiling at Yue Yaer said, "This is Huo Miao, the daughter of the third wife. She is only eleven years old this year." Finally, he pulled over the little girl who had been smiling and said, "This is me and Huo Wei, the prince's girl, who is ten years old this year."

Xie Wan smiled at them and nodded to them one by one, and then one of them gave a gift to the gold thread purse and a few colors of satin. There are also gifts for Mrs. Huo and the three wives.

As soon as Yin Yu sat down here, Huo Shicong sent someone to invite him to the front yard to talk.

Yin Yu looked back at Xie Wan and got her slight head to salute before leaving at ease.

Xie Wan is very respectful to Mrs. Huo and the three ladies here.

Although Yin Yu has something to let her do, the Huo family has a different meaning for him in the end. If he is careful for some trivial things, thus destroying today's stability and harmony, it is really unwise. Therefore, Xie Wan definitely came to this appointment with twelve sincerity in her heart. It is also her obligation to unite all the forces around Yin Yu as a wife.

Here, Mr. Yang let her go to Mrs. Huo's left head to sit down. Mrs. Huo said, "Let's arrange lunch. Let's put it in the Peony Hall at noon."

When Yang heard the words, she called the wife in charge to explain softly. Here, Mrs. Huo and Xie Wan said, "Can you still get used to it after leaving your mother's house these days?"

Xie Wan said, "The old lady is thinking about it. There is no discomfort."

Mrs. Huo nodded: "Although Yuer was born in the clan, her mother is a very careful person, so he has no bad temper. However, men are men after all. If there is anything you can't take care of, you can also bear it. It's always your husband's wife's honor. When he makes this road through, it will be of great benefit to you.

With that, she patted the back of her hand gently.

Xie Wan smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Huo said, "It's your first time to enter the house, and I'll show you around."

Xie Wan knew that he wanted to have something to say to her, so he helped her get up. Yang and others quickly ordered the maid to go down to make some tea and fruit and then follow, and they also followed Luo's Qin.

The Duke of the Protectorate is much larger than the Yin Mansion. Although it was built according to formal regulations, because the Taizu of the Huo family was once posthumously awarded the title of King of Zhongshan and was pardoned to expand the Mansion in those years, it was actually a little bigger than other Dukes.

Mrs. Huo led Xie Wan along the corridor to the back garden and walked slowly all the way. When she saw something special, she introduced a few words. There were actually a lot of gifts, such as the Taihu stone in the middle of the lake, the Xiangfei bamboo in the corner, and the white jade carving under the moon door, and the plaque under the pavilion There are all the inscriptions of the emperor when he was the crown prince. Xie Wan opened up a lot of eyes.

Follow the artificially chiseled stream to the bridge, and then to a pebble path under the bridge. Mrs. Huo pointed to the stone table and stone bench in front of her and said, "Let's take a break."

After sitting down, Yang and others asked someone to take the food box in the woman's hand and open it. There were several sweet and salty snacks inside. After the snacks were arranged, the Qin family held a pot and brewed herbal tea for the two of them.

Mrs. Huo said, "After following you for a long time, you all go down and have a rest." When Yang and others greeted Xie Wan, she turned around and smiled and said to Xie Wan, "The ladies are very filial. Every day, they always take turns to come to Yu Qingtang to accompany her for a while. Everyone says that I am blessed. I think it's not thanks to my children and grandchildren!"

With that, he wrapped a piece of eight-treasure cake with a handkerchief and gave it to Xie Wan. Xie Wan took it in his hand and said, "The old lady loves the ladies very much. Even if I don't have much contact with the ladies, I can see it. Speaking of which, it is also the old lady who should have this child and grandson.

Mrs. Huo smiled and ate the snacks in her hand. She was not in a hurry to return to her, but after a sip of tea slowly, she said, "Yuer is my grandson. Although she is a royal son, she has often walked around the house since she was a child, so our relationship with him is different from other clans. Now he has suffered a lot of grievances. It's my Huo family who can't live with their mother and son. If the Huo family had noticed the ambition of the Zheng family earlier, he would not have been like this.

She said, her eyebrows condensed slightly, and her eyes looking at the center of the lake were a little bitter.

Xie Wan also looked silently at the center of the lake. There was a holy grace pavilion in the middle, which was the word of today's inscription.

The Huo family has been honored for so many years, and she said that she was not grateful for the grace at all. She didn't believe it. It has been four generations since the inheritance of the throne of Dayin, and the title of the Duke of Protectorate has also been inherited five times. Since ancient times, several nobles have such a scenery. No matter how powerful the Huo family is, it is also given by the Yin family. If the Yin family suspects you, it is not impossible to create something to bring you

Therefore, the loyalty of the Huo family to the Yin family is also understandable. But this loyalty is also based on mutual preparedness. If the Yin family does not do too much, the Huo family will remain loyal. If the Huo family had not threatened the court, the Yin family would not have touched him. For the court, it is necessary to have a powerful minister like the Huo family as an iconic figure, and for the Huo family, it also needs the grace of the Yin family as the background.

Within a certain range, the two are also restraining and protecting each other.

As a key figure in this, Yin Yu's direction also determines the future of the Huo family. Therefore, Xie Wan believed Mrs. Huo's feeling. If it hadn't been for the relationship between the Huo family and Yin Yu, her confession would have made her suspicious.

"I'm very worried that Yu'er lives outside alone these days." Mrs. Huo was silent for a moment and then spoke again. She turned her head to look at Xie Wan and smiled, "You are very understanding. I like you very much. We have a lot of family members. Why don't you persuade Yuer to move in?

Xie Wan's heart sank and he moved in? That's the real reason why she suddenly put down and invited her.

After a meal, she smiled and said, "The old lady cherishes Xie Wan, which makes Xie Wan flattered. I can't wait to go to the house to accompany you every day. However, our master is in charge of the affairs of the family. I have to ask him for his opinion on this matter.

If Yin Yu wants to move into the government, do he have to wait until now? The Huo family wants to keep them in the house just to control him. Thinking that as long as he lives in the house, his contact with anyone must be in the hands of the Duke of the Protectorate. It doesn't mean that they have bad intentions, but Yin Yu always has his own ideas, but any ambitious person will not be willing to live under the control of others every day, right?

Anyway, even if they go to Yin Yu, he will answer like this. She pushed the matter on him and was very at ease.

Mrs. Huo didn't understand what she wanted, so she smiled and said, "Yu'er didn't go to the house before getting married, and she was also afraid of outside suspicion. However, no matter how depressed he is, he is also the cousin of our family. How can our Huo family be the kind of person who is attracted to power? Now that you are married, the emperor in the palace has crossed the road again, and you can naturally live in the mansion openly.

Xie Wan pondered, "I don't know if the old lady has ever asked our master's opinion?"

Mrs. Huo said, "I didn't ask, but he has no reason to object, does he?" She smiled faintly and looked at Xie Wan: "As a wife, it is your duty to teach your husband and son. In this matter, even if he has discretion, you should persuade him. After all, our Huo family is good to you with all their heart.

Xie Wan was silent and smiled slowly.

I knew that I couldn't persuade her, but in turn put pressure on her. If she is timid, I'm afraid she will really be scared by the words of husband and son. RS
