Chapter 38 Huo Wan
In the blink of an eye, it is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month!
These days, Liu was extremely busy. As soon as the East Palace invited guests, the West Palace sent another invitation, making Liu like a top, constantly busy with social engagements.
Yuan Ziyu was too lazy to entertain those ladies, so he told Liu about it and stayed in Wuyou Pavilion, making purses for Huo Xifei while thinking about snack recipes.
During this period, Yuan Zitong came twice, and her words implied that she wanted to be a good sister with Yuan Ziyou. Yuan Ziyou was naturally too lazy to pay attention and sent her away with a few words. Yuan Zitong did not seem to be annoyed either, and would come to Wuyou Pavilion to sit every two or three days.
"It's finally quiet!" Liu supported Bishuang's hand and walked into the house. She said with a look of fear, "The banquets in the capital are too frequent."
Gui Ma Ma smiled and said, "Madam, you have just returned to the capital, and the master was summoned back by the emperor himself. I wonder how many eyes are watching him. I am thinking that if the master gets promoted, I am afraid that he will need more banquets like this."
Just as Liu was about to speak, a little maid came in and reported, "Madam, a visiting card has been sent from the Marquis Xuanping's residence!"
Upon hearing this, Liu took a look at it and said happily, "Please come in!"
Then he said to Bishuang, "Go and call the second girl!"
"Yes!" Bishuang responded and hurried to Wuyou Pavilion.
When Yuan Ziyu rushed to Liufeng Garden, he saw Meng and Liu having a pleasant conversation. Next to Meng sat a little girl wearing a cherry pink jacket and skirt and two buns. She was Huo Xifei's biological sister - Huo Wan!
"Aunt Meng!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and bowed to Meng!
Without waiting for Meng to speak, Huo Wan jumped up happily and hugged Yuan Ziyu's arm: "Sister You, Sister You, I am glad to see you. I missed you so much!"
Meng smiled and said, "Are you thinking about your sister You's snacks?"
"Mom!" Huo Wan blinked. "How could that be? I'm obviously thinking about Sister You!"
"Okay!" Meng smiled dotingly: "I miss your sister You!"
Liu smiled and said, "You'er, let me talk to your Aunt Meng for a while. You can take Wan'er for a walk in the garden!"
"Yes, mother!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile!
Huo Wan smiled and shook Yuan Ziyu's arm. "Sister You, it's very cold in winter. Let's not go to the garden. How about we go to your yard?"
Meng laughed and said, "You little greedy cat, and you're still saying you're not greedy for your sister You's snacks?"
Huo Wan made a cute face at Meng.
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Aunt Meng, then I will take Wan'er to my yard!"
"Go, go. This naughty boy has been thinking about it ever since he ate the snacks you sent him a few days ago!" Meng said with a smile.
As soon as they entered Wuyou Pavilion, Huo Wan smiled at Qingying and said, "Sister Qingying, do you have any delicious snacks?"
"Yes, Miss Wan, I'll bring it to you right away!" Qingying bowed with a smile and went to the small kitchen!
"Did you have a good time at your grandmother's house this time?" Yuan Ziyu asked with a smile.
"I'm so happy!" Huo Wan nodded vigorously. "I was supposed to come back before the New Year, but my grandmother couldn't bear to let me go, so I had to spend the New Year there. I only came back a few days ago. Oh, and my eldest cousin's wife gave birth to a daughter. You don't know, she's so ugly, her face is all wrinkled and red. But my eldest cousin's wife insisted that my little cousin will be very beautiful in the future. Tell me, how can such an ugly little monkey become beautiful in the future?"
Huo Wan said this with an incredible look on her face.
Yuan Ziyu blinked. She didn't understand either. "Maybe. We'll know later."
"That's true!" Huo Wan nodded and stopped worrying about this issue.
At this time, Qingzhi brought fragrant tea: "Miss Wan, have some tea!"
"Okay!" Huo Wan took the teacup handed over by Qingzhi, took a sip, and immediately exclaimed: "Sister You, I've discovered that the tea here is all sweet. I'm going to stay here with you!"
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and said, "As long as Aunt Meng agrees, you can stay as long as you want!"
Speaking of this, Huo Wan immediately lost her temper. "Forget it, my mother will definitely not agree. Sister You, you don't know, the governess my mother hired for me is very strict. I can only have some free time during the few days before the New Year. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I have to follow the governess every day to learn the rules. It's so boring!"
"What are you talking about life and death? Be careful or your governess will hear it and punish you again!" Yuan Ziyu smiled and tapped Huo Wan's forehead. In her previous life, Huo Wan was punished a lot for this.
Huo Wan stuck out her tongue when she heard this. "Sister You, speaking of being punished, you don't know that Nanny Yan really lived up to her name. Not only was she strict, but do you know what she punished me with?"
Speaking of this, Huo Wan was very sad and angry!
"What punishment are you getting?" Yuan Ziyu asked.
"She actually punished me by making me copy poems in small calligraphy!" Huo Wan pouted with a look of grievance: "I hate those poems the most. Even copying the Art of War is fine!"
Yuan Ziyou tapped Huo Wan's forehead and said, "Why, do you still want to be a female general who marches and arranges battle formations?"
In her previous life, Huo Wan disliked needlework and poetry, but loved military tactics and formations. She hid it from the Marquis of Xuanping and his wife, disguised herself as a man and went to the battlefield, but was later killed on the battlefield!
Poor Aunt Meng was first heartbroken because of her mother's death, and later she lost her beloved daughter. She died of depression soon after, and Marquis Xuanping's hair turned white overnight.
So in this life, no matter what Yuan Ziyu said, he would stop Huo Wan from going to the battlefield.
"Why not! Are only men allowed to go to the battlefield?" Huo Wan said with a smile and raised her chin!
Yuan Ziyou's heart was slightly moved, and he said, "Wan'er, women in our Dali Dynasty are not allowed to go to the battlefield!"
"Then I'll dress up as a man!" Huo Wan said!
"Do you want to make Aunt Meng sad?" Yuan Ziyu asked!
"I can just go secretly and come back secretly. Anyway, I want to experience it once and make sure my mother won't know." Huo Wan has a special yearning for war.
"Wan'er, can you promise me one thing?" Yuan Ziyu asked after thinking for a while.
"Sister You, tell me!"
"Regarding your idea of going to the battlefield, if you really want to go one day, you must get Aunt Meng's consent!" Yuan Ziyu said solemnly!
Huo Wan was stunned by Yuan Ziyu's seriousness. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay!"
"You must know that a promise is worth a thousand gold and cannot be regretted. Since you want to learn from men to fight on the battlefield, you must first learn to be a real man and keep your words!" Yuan Ziyu was worried that Huo Wan was just agreeing casually, so he said again.
"Well, of course!" Huo Wan said seriously!
"Second Miss, Miss Wan, the snacks are here!" At this time, Qingying walked in with a mahogany carved tray with several plates of exquisite snacks on it.
"Oh, I came at the right time!" A voice sounded at the door.
