Chapter 148
Huo Mansion
Huo Jin was busy looking after official business in the study when Butler Huo walked in with a smile on his face.
"Master, there's a letter from the young mistress."
Huo Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that she would write to him such a letter not long after they separated. Thinking of a possibility, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Butler Huo saw that he looked indifferent, but he could feel that the young master was in a good mood, hehe! They are indeed a loving young couple. He felt very emotional. Think about it, the young master used to be busy with official duties all day and had a cold temper. Now, after getting along with the young lady, his temper has changed. Now the two young masters are also willing to get close to him.
Huo Jin opened the envelope and saw the amulet and a thin piece of letter paper inside.
He first spread out the letter and read it. There were only a few sentences on it. He felt helpless. She was as lazy as ever and wrote as few words as possible.
Butler Huo stretched his neck in annoyance. He couldn't see clearly what was written on the letter, but estimated that there were only two or three lines. He was stunned and thought, "Young Madam, this... this is too disappointing. At least write more, so that you can show your reluctance to part with the young master."
"Master, the Madam might be pestered by Young Master An, or she might be busy taking care of the old lady and is too busy to handle everything..." So she didn't have time to write a long letter.
Huo Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at him without saying anything.
Butler Huo smiled awkwardly. He also felt that the excuse he had given was a bit far-fetched. He asked tentatively, "Master, do you want to write a letter back to the young mistress?"
Huo Jin thought about it and felt that it was necessary to explain a few things to her. So I picked up my pen and wrote her a letter back.
…
After Luo Chaoyan and others stayed in the temple for a few days, the naughty kids all complained that the vegetarian food tasted tasteless and shouted that they wanted to go to the back mountain for a picnic.
Luo Chaoyan looked at the little brats with some disdain and said, "Aren't you here to pray for me? You can't stand eating vegetarian food for just a few days?"
Huo Yu was very shameless and said, "Madam, it's enough to be sincere in this matter. We all pray for you sincerely."
Huo Shun and Huo Ze quickly nodded in agreement.
Huo Rui thought for a moment and said, "Mother, let's go to the back hill and catch some game and roast it."
He paused and said, "Otherwise, you can grill some vegetarian dishes for us!"
When Luo Chaoyan heard that he had grilled the vegetables in advance, she couldn't help but recall the dark history when she was chased by two groups of men in black because of this guy.
Huo Rui obviously remembered it too. He touched his nose and said, "Mother, we have to look forward. Let the past be the past."
Luo Chaoyan rolled her eyes at him, but now that they had made peace, they naturally wouldn't bother with these things anymore.
Huo An and Fengli also looked at her expectantly.
Luo Chaoyan smacked her lips. She had to admit that she was actually craving for meat, but she was worried that the old lady would be furious if she knew that she was just looking for an excuse to go out and have fun instead of sincerely worshipping Buddha. But that shouldn't happen. Anyway, the old lady now has a deep understanding of her temperament.
"Okay!"
So Luo Chaoyan took a few naughty kids to the back mountain again. However, they brought enough guards this time, and fearing that there would be another man in black like last time, they did not run far.
Luo Chaoyan and Huo An sat down on the linen cloth, each of them chewing a peach in their hands, and then they looked at Huo Rui and the others as a matter of course.
Huo Rui and the others shook their heads helplessly, meaning that if they wanted something delicious, they had to do it themselves, so they discussed the division of labor.
Huo Rui and Huo Ze followed the two guards to hunt some game, while Huo Yu and Huo Shun went around to collect firewood.
Luo Chaoyan was very satisfied with their self-awareness.
Huo An couldn't help but sigh, fortunately he was still young and didn't have to get involved in these.
Seeing his gloating look, Luo Chaoyan said with a smile: "An An, the greatest happiness in life is to have enough food and clothing by yourself. Don't worry, when you grow up a little more, your mother will let you experience it."
Huo An's face suddenly fell.
By the time Huo Yu and the others found firewood, Pineapple had also prepared a charcoal stove made of stones.
The vegetarian dishes are ready, and we are just waiting for Huo Rui and his friends to hunt some game.
They waited for a long time before they saw two guards returning with Huo Rui and the other man.
When Huo An saw that they were holding two pheasants in their hands, he couldn't help but clap his hands happily, "Pheasant!" As he said this, he rolled his tongue, looking very greedy.
Huo Rui said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't catch any big game."
There were a lot of them, so two was indeed a little too few.
Huo An patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Brother, it's okay, just eat less."
Huo Rui glared at him unhappily and said, "Why don't you eat less?" As he spoke, he looked him up and down.
The obvious disdain was almost written on his face.
Huo An snorted lightly, thinking that his brother was really mean. What was wrong with him being a little fat? His great-grandmother said it was a blessing.
"Meah! Meah!"
Suddenly, there were a few sounds of sheep bleating.
Luo Chaoyan and others looked up and saw a father and son herding some sheep.
The father and son were a little scared when they saw that there were many guards around them.
When the boy saw them looking at their sheep with greedy eyes, he immediately ignored his fear, walked up to the sheep and reached out to stop them. He looks like he will fight you to the death if you dare to steal his sheep.
Huo Rui pursed his lips and said, "We are not robbers, why are they so scared?"
Huo Yu hit the nail on the head and said, "I guess he was frightened by the way you guys pounced on him like hungry wolves."
Huo An trotted over to the boy, smiled adorably, and said, "Brother, can you sell us your sheep?"
The boy was stunned and turned to look at his father.
The man didn't expect that they actually wanted to buy their sheep.
Luo Chaoyan stepped forward and said, "Big brother, your sheep seem to be growing well. Could you please buy one for us?"
Seeing that she really wanted to buy it and they wanted to leave quickly, the man agreed to sell them a sheep.
After taking the silver, the father and son hurried down the mountain driving their sheep.
Luo Chaoyan looked at the sheep with shining eyes and said, "We will eat roasted whole lamb today."
“Yeah!”
Huo Rui and others were also very happy.
After a while of busy work, the sheep was finally put on the grill.
While waiting for the lamb to be roasted, Luo Chaoyan asked the naughty kids what they wanted to do in the future.
Huo Rui made a sword-wielding gesture and said, "I want to be a general in the future."
Huo Ze said: "Then I will be the deputy general for the boss."
Huo Shun thought for a moment and said, "I...then I'll be a civil servant."
Huo Yu looked determined and said, "I want to study arithmetic."
Huo An said: "I want a lot of delicious food."
Luo Chaoyan and others couldn't help but look at him with indescribable expressions when they heard this.
She said, "An An, you must be a chef in the future. As a chef, you can cook whatever delicious food you want."
Huo An blinked and said, "Really?"
“Puff!”
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After waiting for a long time, they finally got to eat the meat as they wished.
Huo An touched his round belly with a look of satisfaction on his face.
The others also ate with their mouths full of oil.
On the way back, Luo Chaoyan specifically told the naughty kids not to reveal the secret. As for the guards, as long as the old lady didn't ask, they naturally wouldn't say much.
evening
When Luo Chaoyan was dining with Old Madam Huo, everyone looked at the vegetarian dishes on the table and only took a few symbolic bites.
Madam Huo looked at them and asked, "What happened?"
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Grandma, maybe we ate too much at noon, so we don't feel hot now!"
Huo Rui nodded and said, "Yes, great-grandmother!"
Old Madam Huo looked at them with half belief and half doubt. These naughty kids had bitter faces after eating vegetarian food recently. How could they be so full?
Huo An's eyes rolled around and he suddenly burped loudly.
"Great-grandmother, burp... An An is full!"
Seeing that they were really full, Mrs. Huo asked them to go back and rest.
