Chapter 77 Advance and Retreat(1/2)
The two letters Huo Shuai sent to the capital were as fast as those handed over.
The servant took the letter and ran into the three small houses behind Jinghua Palace and presented the letter to Huo Wencan.
Huo Wencan held his heart and couldn't help but tear open the envelope. He looked at it with all his eyes, stared at him and held his breath. After a moment, he shouted, raised the letter, read it again, jumped up and fell, and laughed loudly.
His father is so nice, wise and so sensible!
Li Qingning stared at Huo Wencan with his hands on his hips and looked up at the sky. When his laughter stopped, he curled his lips and asked, "Have your father promised you?"
"That's it! My father praised me for having a good vision and said, if I could marry your fourth sister home, I would be the hero of our Huo family, and said, this is the glory of our Huo family, how about it? I just said, my father is the same as me, no, I am the same as my father, and this vision is nothing to say!"
Huo Wencan was proud and proud.
"You, don't be happy early. I'll see, the difficulty of you and the fourth sister is not with you, but with the fourth sister." Li Qingning said bluntly, hitting Huo Wencan from the clouds of happiness into reality.
No, the difficulty of his marriage is not at all with him and their Huo family!
Cao Ming at the other end of the room looked at Huo Wencan who was very happy, with no expression on his face.
The grandmother asked him to pay attention to Huo Wencan's marriage...
Huo Wencan laughed so loudly that he alarmed the prince in Jinghua Palace.
When the prince heard the eunuch report the reason, he raised his eyebrows high. After a moment, he snorted, bowed and took a few notes from the long desk, handed them to the eunuch, and ordered: "Give these notes to Huo Wencan and Li Qingning, let them read them well, hurry over and check them clearly, and set off today."
The eunuch agreed and went to the three cottages behind with a note.
………………………………………
In the evening, when he got home, Cao Ming went to pay his respects to his grandmother, Mrs. Wu.
When Mrs. Wu heard that Huo Wencan received the letter, she burst into laughter and sat up straight.
"Grandma." Cao Ming didn't say anything further, just looked at Mrs. Wu who was stretched straight for a moment and shouted softly.
"Good boy, have you thought of it?" Old Mrs. Wu slowed down her body and mind, slowly leaned back to her pillow, and looked at Cao Ming with satisfaction.
"Well, you first told me to go out with Li Sanlang more, and then let the fourth sister talk to the fourth lady more, and then I thought of it." Cao Ming said softly.
"Good boy." Mrs. Wu patted Cao Ming with satisfaction, "Today, let's talk about this. You can sit here."
Mrs. Wu signaled Cao Ming to sit on the edge of the couch.
Cao Ming moved over.
"Speak from the big picture first."
Mrs. Wu spoke softly.
"I won't talk about our family, your grandfather's generation. We are in chaos and chaotic. We are a literati, and we are just a living person.
The opportunities are not bad when your father and your second uncle are, but your father and your second uncle are both limited in talent. Your father has exhausted his strength until now, and your second uncle is not as good as your father.
You three brothers, your second brother won’t talk about it anymore, your eldest brother is just like your father, alas.
That is you."
Mrs. Wu paused and sighed softly, "Third brother, today the grandmother is talking to you, and after all, you are better than your elder brother and second brother, but it is limited. I have never dared to think too much. I just hope you can keep your success and wait for the next generation."
"Yes." Cao Ming lowered his head and responded softly.
What the grandmother said was the truth. If the grandmother didn't say it, he would also see it.
"The first benefit of the fourth sister is that it is human beings. The fourth sister is not simple. When the grandmother was as old as her, she was not as good as her. At least she was not as brave as her. Her tenacity was not as strong as her.
If you can marry her back, in the future, if you listen to her, at least you will be able to keep this one, and the grandmother will not be worried at all. If you have good luck, you will not be able to think about taking a step forward.
The second thing is that she is lucky.
The great lady believes in the way of gods, ghosts and heaven.
Even if Renzong lost his country, he could be regarded as the emperor of the ages, but he was born at the wrong time.
Renzong, that was the grandfather of the fourth sister-in-law's legitimate relative. The fourth sister-in-law was Renzong's only blood relative in this world. Her blessings are not worth it."
"Yes." Cao Ming replied softly.
"The third thing is that the emperor and the prince let her join the Li family, which is a good thing."
"Huh?" Cao Ming looked at Mrs. Wu, and he didn't understand this sentence.
"If you give her a princess and county lords, you will have to stand up and raise it up. It looks glamorous. In fact, it is the statue of the god in the temple, you can't see it or move it. Moreover, if you say it's gone, it's really a pain, the fourth sister is suffering.
Now, after returning to the Li family, she is a girl from the Li family, but her bloodline cannot be erased wherever she returns.
The emperor and the prince were both very kind to her, and she earned it herself.
In the future, when the grandmother watched, the person who married her would definitely be valued, which would be of great benefit to the people's hearts.
Look, are there a lot more scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam this year?"
Cao Ming frowned and thought about it carefully, and his eyebrows slowly relaxed, "Grandma, I understand."
"The fourth sister gave birth to a good child and has a good temper. Your mother likes her very much, and you think it's good, right?" Mrs. Wu looked at her grandson carefully.
"Yes." Cao Ming nodded with his eyes down.
The fourth lady is really good, very good.
"Whether this marriage can be accomplished depends on the luck of our Cao family. The grandmother didn't dare to think too much, but just tried her best to do her best. I hope we have good luck."
Mrs. Wu really didn't dare to be too optimistic. After all, if that sister has the ability, she naturally has a temper. Moreover, if that sister wants to marry, from the emperor to the crown prince, she has to nod.
"Since the Huo family has taken this matter to the clear place, we can't wait any longer. The grandmother will go to the Wang family tomorrow and make it clear with Mrs. An. For this matter, she must ask her to come forward."
Mrs. Wu and Cao Ming said.
"Yes." Cao Ming responded softly.

Li Ran walked about ten steps away from the noodle shop at the entrance of the alley, stood up and watched for a while before continuing to move forward.
After passing the noodle shop, Xie Ze stepped out of the darkness in black, frowned slightly, and looked at Li Ran who was running towards him.
Seeing Li Ran pounce on her, Xie Ze did not move, but frowned and looked at her, "It's raining, are you still coming out?"
"It's not done yet." Li Ran looked up at Xie Ze.
Xie Ze frowned, looking very upset, snorted, turned around and walked into the alley.
Li Ran took a few steps and followed Xie Ze.
After passing the alley, Xie Ze did not turn around and went straight forward.
Li Ran followed Xie Ze immediately, and she would go wherever he went.
The sky became darker and the raindrops began to fall.
"Get in the car and go back!" Xie Ze took the umbrella handed by the servant, and ordered Li Ran with a cold face.
Li Ran said nothing, walked to the big cart that was approaching, jumped onto the big cart with both hands, put up her skirt and shrank in.
Xie Ze took a step forward and looked at Li Ran and said, "Don't come here in the future."
Li Ran was stunned. Before she could speak, Xie Ze had already turned around and left.
Li Ran sat in the car, listening to the crackling sound of rain, and looking at the darkness outside the car.
He said: Don't come here in the future.
………………………………………
Early the next morning, Mrs. Wu took a car to the Wang family to pay a visit to Mrs. An.
Although Mrs. Wu and Mrs. An don’t have much contact with each other, when they meet, they often say things for a long time. They are not considered close friends and are also very speculative people.
When the old lady came in to report, Mrs. An was talking to Mrs. Xie about the two letters from Prince Hejian yesterday.
When she heard that Mrs. Wu was coming, Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows and looked at Mrs. An.
Mrs. An smiled, "There is nothing else. Her third brother is very good. You go and welcome him."
Mrs. Xie smiled and stood up to greet her.
Mrs. Wu followed Mrs. Xie in, exchanged a few greetings, and got to the point.
"...I would like to forgive my old lady and my wife. I will come here this time, but I will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing and ask for something."
"You are so kind. If you have anything to do, just say it." Mrs. An smiled.
"I have a crush on the fourth sister of the Li family in Chang'an Marquis' Mansion and want to see if my little grandson has such a blessing."
Mrs. Wu was straightforward.
"The fourth sister had two girls in our house, including Zhongyong Bo Mansion and Zhongyong Bo Mansion. I took them into consideration when they scared them to illness, but at that time, I didn't dare to mention them, and there was no place to mention them.
Until later, I heard that the prince had spoken and that the fourth sister-in-law would take charge of the marriage.
From the moment I heard this, I thought, where should I start this matter so that I can not lose my courtesy or feel wronged by the fourth sister.
After thinking about it, it was your place that I could afford the big deal of the Fourth Sister, so I came to my house.”
"Sister Si'er has a bad temper, and she can only talk to Liu Nizi." Old Mrs. An did not agree or refused.
