Chapter 74 Huo Qingqing
Meeting Huo Qingsong three years later really surprised Lv Xianger and Lv Hong. However, looking at Song Yuan's affection, the Lu brothers and sisters still proposed to invite Huo's brothers and sisters to dinner to express the friendship of the landlord. Moreover, Lv Xianger also saw that Huo Qingqing wanted to drink the wine she made herself.
Seeing Huo Qingqing's face, Huo Qingsong nodded. But when he was about to agree, he looked at the figure in the distance and suddenly stopped. When Lv Xianger's brother and sister saw Huo Qingsong's expression, they looked back. I saw a young man in a samurai uniform coming quickly on a horse.
When the man was more than ten steps away from several people, he jumped off the horse and ran over quickly. Although he and the Lu brothers and sisters didn't know each other, they still politely arched their hands and went to Huo Qingsong's ear and whispered a few words. Huo Qingsong's face changed, but his eyes became more and more fierce.
Seeing this, Lv Xianger and Lv Hong took a look and understood that they were afraid that this dinner could not be eaten. Huo Qingqing, who stood beside Lv Xianger, also bit his lips gently, as if he was a little unwilling. Sure enough, after listening to what the man said, Huo Qingsong whispered a few more words before he came to the Lv brothers and sisters with apologetic eyes.
However, without waiting for Huo Qingsong to say anything, Huo Qingqing took a step forward and said aggrievedly, "Brother, Qingqing came to Jiangling Mansion to play."
"Don't be wayward, Qingqing. When your brother finishes his work, I will take you everywhere." Huo Qingsong's face turned red, making Huo Qingqing's eyes red, but he didn't say anything. But she still went too far and looked like she was blocked by Huo Qingsong. When Huo Qingsong saw Huo Qingqing's appearance, he couldn't bear to appear when his eyes were neutral. After thinking about it, he pulled Huo Qingqing aside and comforted him in a low voice.
For the changes after Huo Qingsong's encounter, Lv Xianger and Lv Hong have been a little numb. But when they saw Huo Qingqing facing Huo Qingsong, the two brothers and sisters remembered the aggrieved appearance. Huo Qingsong and his sister had no parents when they were very young.
I remember Song Yuan once mentioned that due to the accidental death of Huo Changfeng and his wife, Huo Qingsong's grandmother also passed away after a year due to sadness. As for Huo Qingsong's grandfather Huo Jing, he died earlier. Therefore, there are really no elders in General Huo's mansion except Huo Qingsong's brother and sister.
You can imagine how difficult it is for Huo Qingsong to take care of his sister since he was a child. Huo Qingqing's feelings for Huo Qingsong are also regarded as a father-like existence. Looking at Huo Qingsong's expression, he should also spoil his sister to the extreme.
Lv Xianger seemed to see herself in those years on Huo Qingqing's body. Feeling something in her heart, she stepped forward and whispered, "General Huo, I have nothing to do around Jiangling Mansion. If you can trust me, I can take the little lady with me..."
"I will, I will. I don't want to live in the post station at all, brother..." Huo Qingqing didn't wait for Lv Xianger to finish speaking, and his eyes lit up and looked at Huo Qingsong pleadingly.
Huo Qingsong looked at Huo Qingqing's appearance and Lv Xianger. He couldn't help sighing, "Mrs. Lv, I'm leaving Jiangling Mansion, but I can't come back in a day or two."
"That's it." Lu Xianger paused slightly. She didn't expect Huo Qingsong to leave Jiangling Mansion, and she was a little hesitant. After all, Lu Xianger and Huo Qingqing didn't know each other for an hour, and they didn't know what her real nature was like.
Huo Qingqing really wants to get along with Lu Xianger. Although she has never met Lv Xianger, she has heard a lot about Lv Xianger. She has been "God friends" with Lv Xianger for a long time. At this time, Huo Qingqing saw that Lv Xianger did not nod and immediately said anxiously, "Xiang'er, I really want to make friends with you when I see you."
"All right. If General Huo really doesn't mind, our brother and sister welcome the young lady to come to my house for a few days. After seeing Lv Hong nodding, Lv Xianger smiled at Huo Qingqing.
Huo Qingqing immediately looked at Huo Qingsong with joy. Seeing that his brother also nodded, he ran to Lv Xianger with cheers. While holding up Lv Xianger's arm, Huo Qingqing waved his hand to Huo Qingsong: "Brother, let Huo Bao send my burden to Xianger's house, and I won't go back to the station with you."
Far away, Huo Qingqing pulled Lu Xianger in the other direction. At the same time, she also asked Lv Xianger various questions. When you are not separated from Huo Qingsong at all, you should say goodbye. This made Huo Qingqing sigh helplessly and walked to Lv Hong, who was waiting on the side.
"Brother Hong, Qingqing has been staying in the house for many years and has no scheming. If she says anything wrong, please take care of it..." Huo Qingsong met Huo Qingqing's incident, and he didn't look cold at all, and he said a lot.
Lv Hong felt that Huo Qingsong was like Huo Qingsong when he just saw it, which was full of popularity and vitality. Lv Hong thought that he had only met Huo Qingsong a few times at that time, but it seemed that they had been friends for a long time. When we met again in Qingshi County, Huo Qingsong gave Lv Hong a very strange feeling, as if it was difficult to approach.
"General Huo, don't worry, I will be careful not to let the young lady know about Mr. Song." Lv Hong knew what Huo Qingsong really wanted to say, so he took the initiative to assure him.
Huo Qingsong nodded and finally told him, "If Qingqing really knows that her uncle is injured, then you must persuade her to wait for me to come back and take her back to Beijing."
After watching Huo Qingsong take Huo Bao and the young man far away, Lv Hong turned around and quickly chased after Lv Xianger and Huo Qingqing. At this time, Huo Qingqing had no expression at all. He just smiled and looked at the scenery on both sides while talking and laughing with Lv Xianger. Soon, the three of them went down to Pingshan and entered the lively market in Jianglingfu.
At this time, Jiangling Mansion has been shrouded in night, with different views in the daytime. Huo Qingqing is really like Huo Qingsong said. He rarely goes out of the house and has never seen too many scenery. Seeing such a lively street market at night, her eyes were full of novelty, as if she couldn't see enough of anything. Lv Xianger and Lv Hong had been hungry for a long time, but because they couldn't bear it, they never proposed to go home.
Finally, the three of them passed by a not very noisy alley. Lv Hong's hungry stomach suddenly shouted, which made Huo Qingqing listen. Lv Hong was a little embarrassed at the moment, but Huo Qingqing understood what was coming, and his little face was red and almost dripping blood. When Lv Xianger saw Huo Qingqing's appearance, she immediately felt funny and understood that although Huo Qingqing was one year older than her, she was really a 'child'.
"Qingqing, it's not early now. Let's go back. Tomorrow, I would also like to invite you to Qingxin Tea House for tea and pastries. The teahouse is also a famous place in Jianglingfu. Lu Xianger broke the strange atmosphere and gave Huo Qingqing a step.
Not to mention, although Huo Qingqing is a little naive and simple, his brain is still very sensitive. Soon, she understood what Lv Xianger meant and said, "What Xianger said is reasonable. I'm really tired after shopping all day. Let's go back."
Hearing that Huo Qingqing was finally willing to go back, Lv Hong secretly wiped the sweat on his head. From then on, Lv Hong finally understood a truth. From now on, he would rather stay at home to study and practice martial arts than go shopping with little women like Huo Qingqing.
Back home, Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng, the old couple guarding the yard, found that there was another lady, and there was no accident at all. Because Huo Bao had sent Huo Qingqing's burden before, Aunt Zheng had already packed up a guest room for her.
As soon as Lv Xianger and the three of them entered the yard, Uncle Zheng had already prepared the bath water and brought the water to the room of the three. When the three of them took a shower, Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng were in the kitchen, took out the prepared ingredients and began to cook.
I was tired for a day and hungry for a long time, but Lv Hong was starving. He couldn't wait for Lv Xianger and Huo Qingqing to come out of the room and began to eat. Unexpectedly, when he finished eating, the two little women had not moved. Lv Hong couldn't help shaking his head and went back to his room to rest. Therefore, when Lu Xianger and Huo Qingqing had dinner, there were only two of them.
Huo Qingqing also said with some embarrassment because of this that he wanted to drink the wine made by Lv Xianger. Of course, Lv Xianger did not refuse. She turned into the room and took out a small jar. When the small jar was opened and a smell of wine floated out, Huo Qingqing couldn't sit still and said 'good fragrance'.
Lv Xianger's performance towards Huo Qingqing is very strange. The woman who drank in the Zhou Dynasty was not without, but she did not behave like Huo Qingqing, like a drunken person. Thinking in her heart, Lv Xianger poured a small bowl for Huo Qingqing and said obediently, "Qingqing, you like wine very much. Have you also drunk before?"
"No, I never drank before, and my brother didn't let me drink." Huo Qingqing took a small sip and said unpreparedly, "I like to drink it after drinking wine."
"Oh, why do you like wine so much?" Maybe it was Lv Xianger's question that reminded Huo Qingqing of something. When she put down the small bowl, there was something lonely on her face. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Huo Qingqing said softly, "In the past, my brother was always in the barracks and went home very few times. There is only a wet nurse with me in the house. I can't sleep well every night. I always think of my father, mother and grandmother. Sometimes, I dream that my brother... can never come back..."
Hearing this, Lv Xianger has understood why Huo Qingqing likes to drink wine. Because wine helps sleep, Huo Qingqing must have fallen asleep quickly after drinking it and did not have a nightmare. Moreover, when you wake up the next day, you won't have a headache.
However, Huo Qingqing is only 15 years old, so he has to rely on wine to sleep well. Lv Xianger was really sad, but she didn't know how to untie her knot. Thinking of getting along with Huo Qingqing in the past few days, Lv Xianger allowed her to drink a small bowl of wine.
