"Niang, is it delicious?"
Huo dieying puts plates of steaming meat and vegetables on the table, blinks and asks expectantly.
14 Niang clenched chopsticks, tasted a piece of meat, nodded: "delicious."
Huo dieying encouraged Niang with a smile: "Niang, there are still many dishes here. If it's delicious, you can eat more!"
Fourteen Niang looked at Huo dieying and asked carefully: "daughter, is the general good to you?"
Huo dieying pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "the general is very kind to his daughter. These dishes are specially made for you by the general. He also said that he will let you live in the general's residence and serve you with his daughter in the future."
Fourteen Niang heard the shock: "really, the general agreed to live in the general's house?"
"Right," Huo dieying took the arms of the fourteen niangs and advised, "Niang, don't worry, my daughter is very happy now."
The fourteenth mother took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears. "The general is good to you. I'd better live in Huo's house. If I go to the general's house, I'll give you and the general trouble."
Huo dieying put a piece of meat in the bowl of 14 Niang, "Niang, this is what the general ordered, daughter can't disobey."
For fear of affecting the feelings of Huo dieying and the general, she changed her words: "since it's the general's order, my mother agrees."
Huo dieying was satisfied with this, and advised 14 niangs: "Niang, the food is going to be cold. We can't live up to the general's kindness. Let's eat while it's hot."
"Good." Fourteen Niang said, obediently began to eat the food on the plate.
Late at night, Huo dieying couldn't sleep. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw a huge fire in Huo's main house. The house was in chaos. More and more people rushed to help put out the fire.
Huo dieying feels that it's time to run away. She immediately goes back to her room, takes a thick cloak and covers her body. She carries her sleeping mother on her back.
Taking advantage of no one's attention, she secretly ran to the stable and stole a horse. She carefully put the sleeping 14 Niang on the horse, then got on the horse and ran out of the back door of the Huo family.
The cold wind blowing in front of her wakes the sleeping shishiniang up. Looking at the fire of Huo's family, she is stunned. Then she notices that she is sitting on the back of a horse. The one who is riding on the same horse with her is Huo dieying. She calms down and asks in a trembling voice.
"Daughter, what's going on?"
Huo dieying tightened the reins and supported the fourteen niangs sitting in front of him. "There's a fire in Huo's house. People are rushing to put out the fire. We'll just take the opportunity to leave Huo's house. Niang, you've settled down. We'll leave now."
Huo dieying finished, clamped the horse's belly, flicked the whip, and the horse ran with pain.
Fourteen Niang still had a lot to ask. Unfortunately, as soon as the horse started running, she had no energy to worry about other things and put all her attention on the road.
After walking on the road for half an hour, Huo dieying and his mother arrived at the general's mansion. To her surprise, the guard at the gate of the general's mansion saw her and asked nothing. He opened the door and put her in with his mother.
As soon as they enter the residence, a guard comes and leads the horse away. Huo dieying takes the embarrassed 14 niangs to the courtyard where Yang Xuechen lives. Coincidentally, the housekeeper is guarding the gate of the courtyard and stops their mother and daughter.
"Madam, the general doesn't feel well tonight. He has already had an early rest. If you have something to do, you can come to the general tomorrow to discuss with him. It's getting late. You'd better go back and have a rest earlier."
Huo dieying asked thoughtfully, "housekeeper Yang, the guard at the gate of the general's house, why didn't you stop me? After all, I'm in the middle of the storm."
"If you go back to your wife, the general has already told you in front of the whole general's house. Don't embarrass your wife. Naturally, the guard won't stop you." The housekeeper explained with a smile.
Huo dieying blinked her eyes and laughed. She took the fourteenth mother to the housekeeper: "housekeeper Yang, this is my mother, the fourteenth mother of Huo house. Today, she specially took my mother from Huo house. In the future, my mother will live in the general's house. All her expenses can be counted on my body."
The housekeeper nodded with a smile: "just as the lady said."
Since she came to the general's residence, she was careful all the way. When she saw housekeeper Yang, she immediately went forward and saluted: "she has seen housekeeper Yang."
"Madam 14, you don't have to go out. You have to work hard at night. Please have a rest early." The housekeeper bowed back.
Huo dieying peeks at the courtyard. There is a lantern hanging in the courtyard. It's dark all around. The door of Yang Xuechen's bedroom is closed. He can't see him for a while. He says goodbye to Yang housekeeper and takes his fourteenth mother back to his courtyard.
Settle good fourteen Niang rest, Huo dieying in the yard around, found that Qing'er is not.
"Where has Qing'er gone? Is it related to the fire in Huo's house tonight? She was sent by Yang Xuechen to steal silver? Did Yang Xuechen also go in person? "
Huo dieying wants to confirm the conjecture in her heart, so she quietly comes to Yang Xuechen's courtyard in the dark.
The housekeeper was still dutiful in the courtyard, and a dozen other guards were patrolling around the courtyard.Huo dieying just doesn't care about these, silently jumped to a corner of the courtyard, dodged the guard and housekeeper, took the opportunity to get into Yang Xuechen's bedroom.
With a click, as soon as the familiar mechanism was activated, the cold arrow whizzed in her direction. Huo dieying's body flashed quickly. The cold arrow rubbed her cheek and stuck on the door.
She only felt a pain in her cheek and covered it with her hand. At the same time, the candle in the room lit up. Yang Xuechen's tall figure appeared beside the bed and looked at Huo dieying unhappily: "my concubine broke into the bedroom at night. What do you want to do?"
Huo dieying took out the medicine and wiped the wound on her face. She said with a smile: "I just want to see if the general is resting. The housekeeper and the guard are patrolling outside. I'm embarrassed to show up, so I have to sneak in to see the general."
"I'm sorry about my concubine?" Yang Xuechen laughingly stares at Huo dieying and pats the bed: "since I care so much about this general, I don't have to go back to your yard every night from tonight. I live with this general aboveboard, so I don't have to be furtive."
Huo dieying is scared!
She took a look at the closed door behind her, stepped back quietly, and joked with a smile: "the general is really joking. I'm humble. How can I sleep with the general? It's too late. I leave first, so I won't disturb the general's rest."
"If you dare to go out of this door, I'll send someone to throw the fourteenth mother out at once." Yang Xuechen sits beside the bed and says lazily.
Huo dieying stopped, turned around, and his smile disappeared on his face: "general, you promised to let my mother live in the general's house before you know it!"
Yang Xuechen still had a proud smile on her lips: "if I remember correctly, what I said should be that after my concubine's trouble is completely relieved, I will fulfill my promise. You will bring me here tonight. Whether my fourteenth mother can stay in the general's house or not depends on my concubine's specific performance."
Huo dieying is very regretful. She didn't know that she came to check this smelly man in the dark! You can't eat rice without stealing chicken.
