Chapter 44 Leaving Huafu

After Bai Po went to Chang'an for half a month, Hua Xun gradually lost weight.Concerned about things in my heart, I am angry with Huadu, and I have trouble sleeping and eating.However, Hua Yan still came to provoke her from time to time.

Hua Du bid farewell to Hua Junhou, and Hua Du had already left the city when Hua Xun heard the news.Hua Xun slumped and sat in the room for a long time, only to find that the crabapple flowers had also disappeared.Her first thought was that Hua Yan had come to her room and asked Ling Lan and others, but no one knew why the Begonia disappeared.

Hua Xun, who was already full of anger, became even more furious.

"So many of you can't bear to look down on a pot of crabapple flowers!" A row of maids knelt down in the hall, and Hua Xun knelt behind the desk angrily, and slapped the desk heavily.

"Slaves should die!" Everyone was so frightened that they kowtowed, trembling all over, not daring to raise their heads.

"Damn it, damn it! Besides these useless words, do you have anything else you want to explain to me?" Hua Xun swept the bamboo slips on the desk and dropped them all over the floor. Is this how you betray my trust? Search for me, and if you dig three feet into the ground, you will find crabapple flowers for me!"

"Sister, what are you doing? You're so angry—" The thin young man in a fancy dress and waving a fan stepped into the house with a smile on his face, looked at the maid who was kneeling all over the floor, and said, "Sister is so ignorant of pity , Let the maids kneel on the ground, how cold it is."

"Azhi, who allows you to enter my garden of mirrors?"

Hua Yan closed the fan with a slam, and said arrogantly: "My father asked me to invite my sister to come over. I came here at the order of my father. If you lose something, sister, I can only blame you for not being able to protect it." Well, no wonder you are such a maid. If you vent your anger on the maid, it is not in line with your status as the head of Huai'an County, isn't it?"

"Did Mr. Zhang teach you to meddle in my sister's private affairs like this?" Hua Xun sneered, glanced at Ling Lan and the others, and said in a calm tone, "You all get up, find Begonia and make up for it."

Hua Yan suppressed the idea of ​​arguing with Hua Xun, and said displeasedly: "Sister, don't waste time."

Went to Hua Junhou's room with Hua Yan, Du Zhong was waiting at the door holding a bowl of pungent black potion, and was about to open the door to enter, but Hua Yan, who was walking behind Hua Xun, stopped him: "Housekeeper Du, I'll do it." Hua Yan took the medicine bowl, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, and the corner of his eyes looked at Hua Xun, and the smile became even wider, "Sister, aren't you filial to your father? Take this medicine and give it to your father. I won't go in."

"What kind of trick are you playing?" Hua Xun stared at Hua Yan suspiciously.

"How dare I play tricks!" Hua Yan said with a smile, "Father is sick, and as his most beloved daughter, isn't it just right for sister to show her filial piety? Come, take it!" Handed the medicine bowl to Hua Asked, Hua Yan opened the fan, fanned it, snorted, and walked away unsteadily.

"Open the door." Although she always felt that something was wrong, Hua Xun suppressed her dissatisfaction and prepared to go in with the medicine in hand.

"Miss..." Du Zhong stopped Hua Xun, hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Hua Xun looked at Du Zhong's worried expression suspiciously.

Du Zhong looked at the guards left and right from the corner of his eye, shook his head, opened the door for Hua Xun, and whispered: "Junhou is resting, miss, please be careful, don't wake him up."

Hua Xun nodded and entered Hua Junhou's bedroom.The candlelight illuminated the room brightly, but the place was filled with the pungent smell of medicine, and the ground was dotted with dark water stains. Hua Junhou was lying on the bed sickly, with his eyes closed, and he didn't know if he was asleep or in a doze.Hua Xun put the bowl on the table, quietly waiting for Hua Junhou to wake up.

The air exudes the smell of medicine and mixed with ambergris, and the cigarette smoke rises from the gilt censer, twists and spreads, the windows are tightly closed, and the door is closed, as if turning this place into a prison.Hua Xun sat for a while, feeling startled, the cold air rose behind her back, and the quiet atmosphere made one feel frightened.

Hua Junhou, who was sleeping peacefully, seemed not to be breathing, his sallow face and cheeks were sunken, and he hadn't seen him for half a month, but he felt that he was dying of illness.There are more and more gray temples, tangled eyebrows, and more and more wrinkles.Hua Xun was a little startled, how could he be so seriously ill?But she didn't know the news, so she really thought it was just a cold.

She walked lightly to Hua Junhou's bed uneasily, observing his appearance.For a while, without feeling Hua Junhou's breath, Hua Xun bent his index finger to test it with a pale face.

Fortunately, Hua Junhou just fell asleep.Hua Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father?" Seeing that Hua Junhou seemed to be waking up, Hua Xun hurriedly brought the decoction, knelt in front of the couch, and called Hua Junhou in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Hua Junhou slowly opened his eyes, squinted his eyes, and coughed.

"Father, please bring in the decoction." After Hua Junhou regained consciousness, Hua Xun entered to serve the decoction.

"Ask Tang—"

After drinking the medicine, Hua Junhou's complexion improved a lot, but he still seemed groggy: "How long has it been since you saw your grandfather?"

Hua Xun frowned, feeling strange why Hua Junhou suddenly cared about his grandfather.

"A few days ago, your grandfather was promoted to General Longxiang...as a father, he should have gone to congratulate him...cough cough..."

Hua Junhou closed his eyes, his gray beard trembled, and his voice became brighter: "My father is sick, so I can't go... How about you go to Hedong for my father?"

"Father is still ill, son-in-law is supposed to serve his knees..."

I can't figure out the joints here, Huajunhou is still sick, Hua Xun leaves Huafu at this time, I'm afraid it will give some interested people an opportunity.If it is to congratulate the grandfather's promotion, then he can send envoys there, it is not necessary for her to go.

"Well, my son has a heart." Hua Junhou opened his eyes and sighed, "However, after your mother passed away, your grandfather has been unwilling to see the person sent by your father. If you go, your grandpa Zu won't miss you." He patted the place next to him and said, "Qiantang, Hua Jieyu said something to Weifu this morning when he said goodbye to Weifu, and he wants to tell Weifu to you."

"Jieyu has something to tell my father to my son?" This was even more strange, Huadu refused to tell her that Huadu was leaving, but instead left a message to Huajunhou.

"Anhe County is mainly for marriage, and Hedong is close to Chang'an, you can go to Chang'an along the way... to present a congratulatory gift for my father."

The more Hua Xun listened, the more confused she became.She should go to congratulate Chu Yan on her marriage, but why did Hua Du explain Hua Junhou's matter.Thinking about it, the room fell silent for a while.

"Okay, you can go." Hua Junhou waved his hand to let Hua Xun leave.

After leaving the room, Hua Xun turned back to see the door guard guarding the tightly closed door, full of doubts.During the trip to Hedong, I had to go.Besides, her grandfather's promotion is indeed much more convenient for her to do certain things.If she leaves Huafu, she doesn't know that the ghosts and monsters hiding in the dark will come out and make Huafu a mess.

Hua Xun felt that these days, she must have overlooked too many things to find Hua Mansion strange.

Huadu left without saying goodbye, which made her deeply disturbed.Hua Xun also doesn't know what kind of attitude the grandfather who has not had much contact with Huafu has.

Three days later, Hua Xun's carriage slowly drove out from the gate of Hua Mansion.

On the high pavilion, Hua Yan, who was playing with a fan, stood next to a man in a green shirt, and said with emotion: "Such a simple plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, Hua Xun will win, it doesn't look very good."

"Don't take it lightly, it will spoil the prince's important event."

"Yes, sir." Hua Yan calmed down respectfully, "Which one in the Huafu would dare not listen to me? As long as the crown prince needs it, students will go through fire and water!"

"Hmph. Do you think that everyone in the Huafu listens to you, so you're a big deal?" He turned and walked towards the stairs, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know where the property in your father's hand is? There is also the Huafu. Have you also mastered the forces in the North Korean Army?"

Hua Yan followed behind, respectfully said: "Mr. taught you well."

"Although this plan of diverting the tiger away from the mountain was devised by the old man, your father did not drive Hua Xun out as I wanted, but let her go to Hedong instead."

"It's okay to go to Hedong. Although Gu Longxiang was promoted, he didn't dare to act rashly and do things that are not good for the prince." Hua Yan said disdainfully, "Hua Xun is just a granddaughter, and Gu Longxiang has so many descendants, how can I care about it?" The last Hua Xun. Hua Xun's mother was killed, so he didn't do anything?"

"Gu Chong, an old fox, has kept silent for so many years. Others' official careers are ups and downs, but he is the only one who is on the rise. Hua Xun is going this time, but I think Gu Chong will not let her suffer easily."

"You won't support Hua Xun's attempt to snatch the palace master's position?" Hua Yan was surprised when he heard this, if it was true what he said, I'm afraid that his hard-working calculations would all come to nothing.

"What are you afraid of, the position of Palace Master must belong to your young master Yan, and no one can take it away. Don't say I don't agree, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not let anyone other than you sit in this position!"

Hedong.

Ever since the death of Mrs. Junhou, the daughter of General Longxiang Gu Chong, the relationship between Gu's residence and Hua's residence has been cold.Although Gu Chong had many sons and daughters, his daughter died for no reason, so he couldn't swallow this breath, so all the envoys sent by Huafu were rejected.

Hua Xun's carriage entered the territory of Hedong, and the prefect immediately reported it to Gu Chong, but Gu Chong ignored Hua Xun as he didn't know about it.

"If General Gu gets angry, he should be angry with the lord. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can't take it at our master. How can there be any reason to let the granddaughter live in the inn?" Pei Lan helped Huaxun get out of the car, and sighed.

Hua Xun was exhausted from traveling and traveling, hadn't slept well in the past few days, and looked tired.Hearing what Pei Lan said, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "This is to test me. It's okay, stay at the inn first, so as not to have to face those relatives who want to eat me alive."

"But if General Gu doesn't see us all the time, what should we do?" Zelan was not as worried as Pei Lan.

"If you are really worried, then do one thing for me." Hua Xun cheered up, squinted her eyes, looked at the hot sun, and said with a smile, "I promise, within half a day, the Gu family will send someone Come, please respectfully invite me back." She felt more relaxed, turned her face, and smiled at Bai Qing, "Why don't we make a bet?"
