Chapter 186
Outside the gate of Huo Mansion
Luo Chaoyan looked around before getting on the carriage.
Huo An pursed his lips and smiled: "Mother, are you trying to see if father will come to see you off?"
Huo Rui said: "Father seems to be very busy today, I guess he doesn't have time to come."
Luo Chaoyan raised her hand and tapped each of them on the forehead, saying, "Do you think I'm you, clingy people? I followed you last year."
She raised her eyes to look at Huo Rui and said, "Do you want to call Huo Yu and the others?"
Huo Rui opened his mouth, then shook his head decisively and said, "Huo Yu is very busy recently and must be busy." Are you kidding? If he takes Huo Yu and the others with him, wouldn't they know that he can't go to Xuanzhou? Although you will know it sooner or later, the longer you delay, the better.
Luo Chaoyan nodded and said, "Then let's set off now." She was thinking of going out for some fun in the near future and taking Huo Yu and the others with her. It would be difficult for her to go out later.
Huo An shouted excitedly: "Let's go!"
The mother and her two children got into the carriage, while Pineapple and the coachman sat outside.
For safety reasons, have a team of guards follow.
After leaving the city gate, Luo Chaoyan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the occasional carriages and pedestrians passing by. It's spring now, and I guess those men and women who are feeling romantic can't help but go out to enjoy the spring.
Huo An handed her a walnut and said, "Mother, I can't crack it open."
Luo Chaoyan took the walnut and squeezed it hard with both hands, but it didn't show any sign of cracking, so she looked helpless.
Huo Rui said: "I'll do it."
He took out a dagger and hit the walnut hard, causing it to break into pieces.
Huo An said disdainfully: "Brother, tap it a little more gently, the walnut meat will break into pieces."
Huo Rui touched his nose and said, "I didn't control the strength well."
He took another walnut and tapped it gently. When it cracked, he broke it open with his hands. He took out a large piece of walnut meat and handed it to Luo Chaoyan, saying, "Mother, you eat it."
Luo Chaoyan took it with a smile and said, "Thank you!" Then she put it in her mouth and started chewing without any hesitation.
Huo An came close to his brother and said, "Brother, I want to eat too."
Huo Rui rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you want to eat, knock for yourself."
Huo An looked at him accusingly and said, "Brother, I am the younger brother."
"Work hard to have enough food and clothing." Huo Rui said confidently.
"How about this, let's play a game. Whoever loses has to peel the walnuts." Luo Chaoyan said with a smile.
"good."
Huo Rui and the other person nodded.
Luo Chaoyan took a walnut and put it in her hand in front of the two of them, then raised her hand and went around behind her back to exchange it several times, then stretched it in front of them and said, "Come on, guess where the walnut is?"
Huo Rui looked at her hand, pointed at her right hand, and said, "Right."
Luo Chaoyan looked at Huo An.
Huo An looked at her hands, thought for a moment, and said, "I guess there's nothing on either side."
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Are you sure?"
They both nodded.
Luo Chaoyan raised her hands, but there were no walnuts in either hand.
Huo An said proudly: "I guessed right."
Huo Rui said disappointedly: "You can still play like this."
Huo An said with a smile: "Brother, this is called deception in war. You guessed wrong, hurry up and peel it."
Huo Rui said: "Try it again, I don't believe I can't guess it right."
In order to satisfy his desire to win, Luo Chaoyan took two walnuts and put them in her hand, then put them behind her and exchanged them, and then held them in front of him.
Huo Rui looked at her two hands carefully this time, frowned and said, "It's still the right hand."
Huo An said: "Brother is wrong, this time it's on the left."
"Impossible!" Huo Rui retorted.
Luo Chaoyan announced the answer with a smile. She loosened her hands and sure enough, there was a walnut on her left hand side.
Huo Rui frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Huo An crossed his arms and said, "Brother, peel it first, and then I'll tell you."
Huo Rui had no choice but to peel two walnuts for him.
Huo An ate the walnut with a smile and said, "Actually, this is very simple. You just need to look at your mother's expression and her movements to guess."
Huo Rui asked suspiciously: "That's it?"
Luo Chaoyan was stunned. She didn't expect that the fat boy relied on this. She thought he had calculated it. But his insight is indeed sharp.
"Young Madam, we are at the foot of the mountain." Pineapple shouted.
Luo Chaoyan said: "Let's go, let's get off."
After a few people got off the carriage, they saw many people around them, especially young men and women.
Huo Rui said: "Why are there so many people?"
Fengli said: "I heard that the Yue Lao in this Taoist temple is very effective, and many men and women like to come here to pray for marriage."
Huo An looked at Luo Chaoyan, who was dressed as a man, and said, "It's a good thing that mother was wearing men's clothes, otherwise she would have been molested by the pervert along the way."
Luo Chaoyan spread out a paper fan, posing as a gentleman who thought he was elegant and graceful, and said, "Even if I'm a man, my charm cannot be concealed."
Huo Rui and Huo An looked at her with an indescribable look on their faces. They suddenly felt that the ones who should be sympathized with were the girls. They hoped that the girls would not be so blind as to fall in love with their mother at first sight.
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "Let's go up the mountain."
She asked two guards to go up the mountain with her, and the others waited there.
The Taoist temple is on the top of a mountain. If you want to go up, you have to climb up step by step.
When they reached the middle of the mountain, Huo An was too tired to climb any further. He sat on a step and said, "Mom, I'm so tired! I can't walk any more."
Huo Rui sneered and said, "I asked you to exercise more often, but you refused. Now you know you are tired."
Huo An took a deep breath and said, "Brother, we are brothers. Brothers need to share weal and woe. You have to pull me up." He wanted to ask his brother to carry him on his back, but he knew that was unlikely.
Huo Rui walked up to him, stretched out his hand and pulled him up, saying: "An An, you really should lose weight."
Huo An said confidently, "Brother, it's not my fault that I can eat."
Luo Chaoyan smiled and said, "An'an, I heard that there are delicious snacks in the Taoist temple. If you don't want to miss it, you have to hurry up."
When Huo An heard about the delicious food, he immediately perked up. He straightened his body and said, "Let's go."
