The return of the son-in-law
93 Relief
After Huo Yu let off steam like this, he finally returned to his original lively appearance the next day.He was exhausted from the journey the day before, so he fell asleep when he returned to the Guo Mansion. After waking up, it was already evening, he was coaxed by Guo Zhanan to have dinner, and then he went to rest early.So, it wasn't until the next day that he noticed that everyone in Guo's mansion was dressed very plainly, and even the lanterns that were hung on weekdays were replaced with blue ones.
Jia Huan watched from the side, seeing Huo Yu subconsciously biting his lower lip, he said with a smile: "The young master said, although we can't wear linen and filial piety in our house, it is possible for everyone to dress plainly. These lanterns are also After receiving your letter, the young master asked me to send someone to buy it, I don't know if it suits the second young master's wishes."
Huo Yu took a deep breath, so as not to lose his composure in front of Jia Huan, he choked up and said, "Brother, brother actually doesn't have to do this for me. If there are guests visiting, it would be bad for them to see it."
Jia Huan said solemnly: "The young master said that the matter of the second young master is the most important thing. What's more, there are elders in the family who have passed away, so it is not appropriate to entertain guests. Second young master, don't worry."
Huo Yu nodded, accepting Guo Zhanan's offer.He raised his hand and pressed his chest, frowned slightly, and said, "Go and do your work, I'll go back to the house first. If there's anything else, you can find me in the study."
Seeing that Huo Yu's expression was normal, Jia Huan left in peace.
Huo Yu returned to the room, carefully untied the kit he had been carrying all the time, put the kit in his palm and looked at it.
During the two years he followed Guo Zhanan, he gained a lot of knowledge, and he could naturally see that the material and workmanship of this kit were not something a bandit could have.
Huo Yu carefully opened the kit—this was the first time he had developed curiosity about the contents of the kit—he put the jade pendant aside, opened the note, and stared at the word "Yu" on it.
So, his name is actually "Yu"?
But soon, Huo Yu came back to his senses, put the jade pendant and note back into the kit, opened a box in the drawer, threw the kit inside, and locked the drawer again.
No matter who his biological parents were, no matter what his original name was, these were no longer important to him.
He is Huo Yu, the son of Huo Dashan, and the foster brother of Guo Zhanan.
In the evening, Huo Yu was lying under the bed in obscene clothes, and Guo Zhanan suddenly saw him, who asked, "Yu'er, where is the bag you have been hanging around?"
Huo Yu replied honestly: "It's locked in the drawer. That thing, that thing was left to me by my biological parents. I don't think it's interesting to wear it."
Guo Zhan'an understands that Huo Yu is pretending and doesn't care, otherwise why bother to put the kit in a drawer for safekeeping?You can just throw it away.
Although Huo Yu was unwilling to find his biological parents and was afraid of facing the fact that his parents had abandoned him, he still had a little luck in his heart, hoping that his parents had no choice but to abandon him; Hid him well, and when he came back to look for it later, he had already been taken away by his adoptive father Huo Dashan.
Guo Zhanan didn't want to expose Huo Yu, so he just reached out and rubbed Huo Yu's hair, and said, "If you don't wear it, don't wear it, what did you do today?"
Only then did Huo Yu regain some energy, and with his fingers, he told Guo Zhan'an what he had done today, and at the end he carefully said what he had been pondering all day: "Brother, I want to stand by for grandpa for a year. My filial piety, otherwise I will move to another place first, so as not to cause trouble to you, brother."
Guo Zhan'an turned to look at Huo Yu: "Why do you say this so politely? Did someone in the house bump into you, or did someone say something?"
Huo Yu shook his head again and again: "I thought about it myself. After all, I'm still in my filial piety. It would be bad if I bumped into my brother."
Guo Zhan'an pinched Huo Yu's chin and asked him, "Then you are still sharing the bed with me, did you collide?"
Huo Yu's face was flushed red, and he broke free from Guo Zhan'an's arms in a panic, and said, "Then, then I'll go to the next room to spend the night first, and tomorrow I'll find a secluded house."
Guo Zhan'an couldn't help laughing out loud, took Huo Yu into his arms again, and said, "Do you still have to distinguish between me so clearly? If one of you and I is a woman, then we can be honorable and honorable together. " Sensing the restlessness of the person in his arms, Guo Zhanan kissed Huo Yu's forehead, and said: "Don't worry, so what if we are all men? As long as we treat each other sincerely, we will be better than any loving couple in this world. What's missing?"
Huo Yu's muffled voice came from Guo Zhan'an's chest: "I, I am not a woman after all, and I cannot carry on the family line for you brother. When I return to the capital in the future, my brother's parents will inevitably look after my wife for my brother. If that is the case, it is better to break up now." That's all."
"Nonsense!" Guo Zhan'an couldn't help but slapped Huo Yu on the back, "It seems that I'm too used to you! I told you to go to Tonghua County, and you already have the idea of leaving me?"
Huo Yu didn't dare to raise his head to look at Guo Zhan'an, but just lowered his head and said, "Anyway, even biological parents don't have to have their own sons, so what kind of relationship is reliable in this world?"
Guo Zhanan squeezed Huo Yu's chin with one hand, forcing the latter to raise his head and look at him. When he saw Huo Yu's tears shed at some point, Guo Zhanan was angry and distressed - he said he didn't care, but any flesh and blood person would not care What about your biological parents abandoning you?
Guo Zhan'an couldn't help thinking of the scene when his mother passed away. He still remembered that although he was young at that time, he had grown up a lot that day, and his heart was cold.The warm home that was originally built by her mother has become extremely indifferent, especially after Liu Feifei entered the door, those servants who used to circle around and rack their brains to please her turned to please the new Mrs. Guo, just like the Guo family. This person is not the same without him.
Compared to himself at that time, Huo Yu must be feeling worse now.
Thinking about it this way, Guo Zhan'an's original anger turned into pity, and he coaxed softly: "Yu'er, I know you feel uncomfortable, and you don't believe anyone now. But our days are still very long, you just stay By my side, watch how I love and spoil you, okay?"
Huo Yu couldn't bear it anymore, hugged Guo Zhan'an tightly, and begged, "Brother, I'm really scared. My biological parents don't want me anymore, and now my grandfather is gone, so I only have you, brother. Brother, If you dislike me one day, don’t tell me, just assign me something and send me away. When I go there, I will write a letter to my brother. He doesn’t need to read it, or he doesn’t need to give it to me. Write back, but don't tell me you hate me."
Guo Zhan'an knew that Huo Yu couldn't hear any comforting words at this time, so he could only keep stroking Huo Yu's back and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. It's just that I haven't tired of you yet. If you continue to behave like this Go on, I'm still worried that you're tired of me."
"No, I won't hate my brother." Huo Yu hurriedly confessed, "Brother must trust me."
Why is this little thing so annoying!
Guo Zhanan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply moved his palm down and patted Huo Yu's butt twice: "I believe you, but if you continue to say these things today, then I will suspect that you don't like me."
Huo Yu was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at Guo Zhan'an, so he curled up in Guo Zhan'an's arms and nodded, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you like it?"
Guo Zhan'an pinched Huo Yu's earlobe, and said, "Okay, it's been a long night, can you feel at ease now?"
Huo Yu stopped talking and just hugged Guo Zhanan.
Guo Zhan'an kissed Huo Yu's hair again, and the two fell asleep together.
The next day, Guo Zhan'an got up early to go to the government office to go to Yingmao, but just as he got up, Huo Yu woke up next to him.
Guo Zhan'an put Huo Yu's exposed arm back under the quilt in a good-tempered manner, pinched Huo Yu's face again, and said, "It's still early, let's sleep for a while."
Huo Yu shook his head: "I can't sleep, I haven't helped my brother change clothes for a long time, let me do it."
The maids and servants who had been guarding outside were quite used to this kind of situation. With Huo Yu around, they could only help.
Guo Zhan'an knew that Huo Yu's heart was empty and he had to find something to do.After hesitating for a while, he told Huo Yu the news he had received earlier: "This year we will go back to the capital for the New Year, and we will leave one month earlier. I will ask Jia Huan to give you the list of people who come and go on weekdays, and you prepare for me. Good congratulations."
Huo Yu was really taken aback: "A high official from the state can't come out without an edict, so what's the matter with Brother Xuan's return to Beijing?"
Guo Zhan'an explained: "The general sentence is that the emperor personally accepted his fate and supervised the official position of a state magistrate. The emperor announced me to Beijing because he wanted to know the trend of Xuzhou. It happened that my father was in the capital, so His Majesty allowed me to return to Beijing before New Year's Eve this year. Spend New Year's Eve with my father and the others."
Huo Yu thought for a while and said, "I understand, brother, don't worry, if you leave this job to me, I won't mess it up."
If it weren't for the presence of other people, Guo Zhan'an would have already reached out to kiss this painful little guy.He pinched Huo Yu's face and said, "Then there will be Second Young Master Lao."
Huo Yu pursed his lips and smiled, took the hot towel from the maid and handed it to Guo Zhanan.
Jia Huan handled the affairs neatly, and after Huo Yu finished his lunch, the gift list was prepared and sent to Huo Yu.
"Second young master, I arranged this according to relatives," Jia Huan explained from the side, "Look at the top, there are the master and his step-wife. To be disrespectful, the relationship between these two and the young master is really not good." Good luck, if you let the young master prepare it himself, I'm afraid you will make the master angry again, so you should take care of it and prepare some better ones, so as not to let people gossip."
Huo Yu nodded and said: "I understand, the current emperor pays attention to filial piety, and I will not let my elder brother settle this matter. Apart from these two, I remember that the Guo family's step-wife has one son and two daughters. Do you understand personal preferences?"
Jia Huan replied: "I don't know about the two young ladies. As the young master's servant, it's hard for me to ask. But I think most of the female relatives are confined at home. The second young master might as well prepare some gadgets with a Northwest style. As for the young master, he is a well-known playboy in the capital, so the second young master doesn't need to worry too much, as long as the preparation can be taken out by the young master to show off."
The deep disgust in Jia Huan's words made Huo Yu couldn't help laughing out: "I understand. For the third prince, I'm afraid that if I give something that is too expensive, I will be exploited and cause trouble for my brother and the third prince. Why don't I give it away?" Some Northwest-style food is unique and will not be criticized by others.”
Jia Huan was a little hesitant: "But, after all, he is the third prince, if he only sends some worthless food over there, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the third prince?"
Huo Yu had his own thoughts: "The third prince and his elder brother have known each other since they were young, and the friendship between the two will not be cut because of gifts. I have met the third prince, and this person has deep gaps in his chest. You can't impress him by giving gifts. Moreover, if you give something too expensive to the third prince, what will His Majesty give you? What's more, there is still a fourth prince in the capital. Follow the trend."
Jia Huan came to his senses: "Although the young master and the fourth prince are not at odds, it can't be made public."
Huo Yu nodded and said, "That's right, everyone knows it well, there's no need to make the emperor suspicious just to send New Year's gifts. Sending some Northwestern specialties over there will also avoid people saying something to pass on the news."
Jia Huan sighed, "Fortunately, the second young master is here. If the young master entrusts me to do it, it will definitely cause a big mess."
Huo Yu shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, there is specialization in art. I have been taught by my brother for so long. If I can't do these things well, then I will fail my brother's expectations."
Jia Huan said with a smile: "The second young master is modest."
Huo Yu smiled, said nothing more, and looked down at the list again.
Jia Huan watched from the side, seeing Huo Yu subconsciously biting his lower lip, he said with a smile: "The young master said, although we can't wear linen and filial piety in our house, it is possible for everyone to dress plainly. These lanterns are also After receiving your letter, the young master asked me to send someone to buy it, I don't know if it suits the second young master's wishes."
