Chapter 406 Surprise
Except for Yu and Huo Jiao's mother and daughter who were dissatisfied with Yuan Ziyu, everyone else was very friendly to Yuan Ziyu, and the whole room was filled with laughter.
Soon, Lord Huo arrived with the Yuan family father and son. Huo Xifei and the men from the second and third branches of the Huo family also came to Old Madam Huo.
As soon as Huo Xifei entered the room, he looked at Yuan Ziyu with a smile in his eyes.
In front of a room full of elders, Yuan Ziyu was too embarrassed to respond, so she lowered her head slightly with a red face. Everyone saw this and smiled knowingly, but Yu's mother and daughter were the only ones who gritted their teeth inwardly.
Because the Huo family valued Yuan Ziyu so much, they prepared a splendid thank-you banquet, and both the guests and hosts had a great time.
After the banquet, everyone gathered around Old Lady Huo to join in the fun.
Old Madam Huo was a shrewd woman. After looking at her eldest grandson who kept stealing glances at Yuan Ziyu from time to time, she only kept a few people from the Meng and Liu families and let the others go on their own.
The second and third wives each returned to their own courtyards.
This was the first time Huo Xifei met Yuan Ziyou after returning from the border. When he first came back, Emperor Wen of Qi arranged a lot of things for him and he had no time to see Yuan Ziyou at all. It turned out that the two had not seen each other for more than ten days.
So Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyou, "You'er, the emperor has given you a lot of gifts this time. Come to my yard and see if there's anything you like."
"Okay." Yuan Ziyu nodded with a smile and planned to follow Huo Xi back to Yingfeixuan.
Unexpectedly, Huo Wan and his elder and second brothers followed behind.
Huo Xifei: ...
Without waiting for Huo Xifei to speak, Huo Wan cleverly hugged Yuan Ziyu's arm and said to Huo Xifei, "Brother, you have been monopolizing Sister You for so long. I miss Sister You. You must accompany her well."
Huo Xifei: ...
"Yes, Brother Huo, we haven't had a good gathering for a long time. It's just right that we can have a good chat this time." Yuan Zian said to Huo Xifei with a smile.
"That's right, Brother Huo." Yuan Zining nodded and said, "Send someone to Xunxiangzhai to get some snacks later. We can eat and talk at the same time."
Huo Xifei gritted his teeth. Yuan Zining was a simple-minded guy, but he knew very well that Yuan Zian did it on purpose to get revenge on him for putting You'er in danger.
After looking helplessly at Huo Wan who was pestering You'er, Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay, then let's have a good get-together."
"good!"
Yuan Zian smiled harmlessly, while Yuan Zining and Huo Wan jumped for joy.
Looking at Huo Xifei's helpless expression, Yuan Ziyu laughed secretly.
Let's not talk about Huo Xifei and the others going to Yingfeixuan. After Yu and Huo Jiao returned to their own courtyard, Huo Jiao said to Yu, "Mom, what should we do now? What should I do about my cousin? I see that my grandmother and my uncle and aunt are not going to give up Yuan Ziyu no matter what."
After she finished speaking, she slapped the table in annoyance. She had a good relationship with Yu Fangyin. Seeing that Yu Fangyin had been refusing to marry for Huo Xifei, she felt distressed and helpless.
Yu frowned and said, "I'll go back tomorrow and discuss this with your uncle and aunt. This won't work."
After saying that, he sighed again, "Fang Yin is too stubborn. How could she only be determined to be with your eldest cousin?"
It would be great if Huo Xifei was not engaged. She only needed to talk to her sister-in-law. This would be a good thing to strengthen the relationship between the relatives. Yin'er was a well-behaved girl. If she married Huo Xifei, everyone would be happy.
But unfortunately, there is Yuan Ziyu in between.
"Mom, I'll go to my uncle's house with you. It's a good opportunity for me to visit my uncle and aunt as well." Huo Jiao said quickly.
Yu glared at Huo Jiao. "You've been back for several days already. If you don't go back tonight, will your mother-in-law agree? Don't forget, you've only been married for a year. The most important thing right now is to give them a grandson. How can you not have any sense of reason?"
"Mother..." Huo Jiao pouted: "Why are you speaking the same tone as my mother-in-law?"
After saying that, she snorted, "Mom, you don't know, my mother-in-law always urges me to give her a grandson whenever she has nothing to do. I'm so fed up with it."
"You!" Yu tapped Huo Jiao's forehead helplessly. "What's the foundation for a woman to settle down in her husband's family? That's a son. Why don't you hurry up and give birth to a son for the Hu family, and wait for Hu Zixuan to bring a concubine into the house in the future?"
"He dares?"
Huo Jiao exploded when she heard this and stood up suddenly: "If he dares to bring a concubine into the house, I will..."
"What do you want?" Yu asked.
"I just..." Huo Jiao didn't know what to do for a long time. In fact, Huo Jiao was tired of concubines. Over the years, when she saw her father favoring concubines and neglecting her mother, she felt that concubines were not good things.
Now, when she thought about the possibility that Hu Zixuan might bring a concubine into the house in the future, she felt a surge of anxiety in her heart.
But……
My uncle doesn’t have any concubines!
"Mom, does a man have to have a concubine?" Huo Jiao asked gloomily.
"That's natural," Yu said. "That's why I asked you to give birth to a son quickly. This is the foundation of your life in the Hu family. When Hu Zixuan brings back his concubines, I'll teach you how to prevent them from giving birth to sons."
Later on, Yu's voice lowered a lot, almost speaking into Huo Jiao's ear.
Huo Jiao blinked in surprise. She had always thought that her father's three concubines were destined to have no sons. It turned out that...
But even so, Huo Jiao still felt uncomfortable when she thought about Hu Zixuan having another woman: "Mom, but uncle doesn't have a concubine. You see, uncle and aunt have been very good over the years, and... and I heard that General Yuan also doesn't have a concubine."
There are probably many men in this world who don’t have concubines, but for my mother, it is considered natural for a man to take a concubine.
"Ah!" Yu sighed. If she said she didn't envy Meng and Liu, she would be lying. But men like them were few and far between. "Jiao'er, there are few men who don't cheat. How many are there like your uncle and General Yuan?"
"But..." Huo Jiao pursed her lips and asked, "Very little?"
"Of course it's less."
Huo Jiao hummed in a sullen voice. Since her mother had said so, she could not refute anything. After thinking for a while, she looked up and asked Yu: "Mother, do you think my cousin will take a concubine?"
Yu paused, squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the main room: "Your cousin Fangyin has always missed him. As a concubine, your eldest cousin must take her in even if he doesn't want to."
Hearing this, Huo Jiao covered her mouth in surprise: "Mom, you mean...you don't mean that you want cousin Fangyin to be my eldest cousin's concubine, right?"
