Chapter 884: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (6)
Fang Yunniang also didn't expect that the person who had said in the carriage before that she had the delicate demeanor of a little girl would say this now.
If it were any other time, she would have stomped her feet and left, waiting for Huo Qingyang to chase her.
But now, seeing Huo Qingyang's expression, she didn't dare to leave for a moment. She looked around and didn't see Huo Xu, the long-time attendant she had arranged to keep watch, so she brought up the topic and said, "Huo Lang, I arranged for Huo Xu to keep watch before. Did he leave for something?"
It was really a case of bringing up something that was not related to the topic. Huo Qingyang had always felt that Fang Yunniang was being petty by taking her anger out on Huo Xu, and when he heard her bring this up, he became even angrier.
"You also know that Huo Xu is my personal attendant, not a guard at the Marquis' Mansion, right?" Huo Qingyang's tone was a little cold. "These past few days, I've been asking him to go to the military camp with me to do some work. When will you be able to consider the overall situation?"
After hearing this, Fang Yunniang felt aggrieved. It was Huo Qingyang himself who said before that it would be fine as long as he stayed like this. Why was he saying now that she was immature?
But Fang Yunniang knew Huo Qingyang very well, and she immediately admitted her mistake and said, "Huo Lang, I'm sorry! I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that I was unfamiliar with this place. Huo Xu is someone we can trust, so we made this arrangement. I won't do it again in the future."
After all, she was the person he had spoiled for several years. Huo Qingyang didn't say anything else, but waved his hand and asked Fang Yunniang to go back to her room to rest, as he had other things to do.
Fang Yunniang didn't say anything else, but just left the yard, looking back every few steps.
After everyone left, Huo Qingyang no longer had the heart to appreciate the moon. He turned and went into a study room that he had specially tidied up in the afternoon. There were not only tables and chairs, but also a bronze mirror and some more formal clothes.
At his age, less than thirty, he should have been able to wear some light-colored uniforms of a marquis to look younger, but all he took out of the box were dark-colored clothes.
He compared himself with the not-so-clear bronze mirror, thinking that he should be able to get away with it.
When it was daybreak, Huo Xu did not find Huo Qingyang in the bedroom, so he took the servant who brought water to the study.
"My Lord, it's time to wash and change your clothes!" Huo Xu said respectfully.
Without waiting for Huo Qingyang's reply, Huo Xu naturally went to get the light-colored clothing he had prepared earlier.
just
"Wear this!" Huo Qingyang handed the clothes he had found to Huo Xu. "Huo Xu, I remember you seemed to have prepared some false beards. Go get some and put them on me."
Men in Beijing don't like to grow beards. Only men over forty years old grow beards.
But his master is not even thirty yet, this...
Huo Xu said with some embarrassment, "My Lord, those false beards are only used occasionally when I'm in disguise. The material and quality are extremely poor and they can't be kept on for a long time. I'm afraid that if I stay in the barracks for too long, something bad will happen."
"Then let's try to make it quick!" Huo Qingyang gritted his teeth and said, "If it really doesn't work, we can go for half a day and do the rest tomorrow."
Seeing that the other party was determined to do so, Huo Xu had no choice but to take out the fake beard he had made earlier.
After washing up, a fake beard made of horsetail was glued to Huo Qingyang's face with pine glue.
With the dark clothes he had specially found, he looked at least a dozen years older.
"Once you're in the military camp, you must do whatever I tell you to do. You must not act on your own." Huo Qingyang repeated his instructions, fearing trouble. "Especially if someone asks me for my title, you must never say I'm the Marquis of Yongning."
As Huo Qingyang's confidant, he had traveled back and forth between the General's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion countless times. He had just discovered something was wrong. When he heard his master's concern for him, Huo Xu understood instantly - it was obvious that he was afraid that the Shangguan family would take revenge on him later.
The capital city and Youcheng are far apart. Before, the Shangguan family might not have been able to do anything to the Yongning Marquis Mansion, but now it is hard to say.
Seeing that Huo Xu didn't answer for a long time, Huo Qingyang couldn't help but remind him again.
"Yes!" Huo Xu immediately stopped imagining and responded.
Only after Huo Qingyang and Huo Xu left with the rewards for the soldiers did Fang Yunniang dare to leave the room.
Just after taking a few bites of breakfast, my sister-in-law Huo Qingyue came over. As soon as she entered the door, she said with disdain: "Sister-in-law, you can eat this thing? This bread is too rough. I didn't eat a single bite."
Food without oil and water tastes really bland.
But Fang Yunniang had just angered Huo Qingyang, and she really didn't want to continue this bad luck, for fear that he would accuse her of being pretentious. She didn't know that Huo Qingyang had already left, and she just thought that he was angry with her and didn't have breakfast with her.
Seeing Fang Yunniang remained silent, Huo Qingyue gently nudged her and suggested, "Sister-in-law, let's go out for breakfast! I heard from the people at the post station that although Youcheng doesn't look very prosperous, it's close to the foreign tribes and has many foreign specialties that are sold very cheaply here."
After hearing what Huo Qingyue said, Fang Yunniang was also moved, but: "Your brother won't agree to let us go out! After all, this is a border town, the public security and so on, won't it be too bad?"
"My brother has gone to the military camp, and we don't know when he'll be back!" Huo Qingyue had obviously already inquired about the situation. "Let's take a few guards and go out for a walk. We can just take a walk and come back early."
As if she was afraid Fang Yunniang would not go, Huo Qingyue immediately tempted her, "I heard the jade produced here is very cheap and of high quality. Let's buy a piece, bring it back to the capital, and have a craftsman make it into jewelry. That would be a huge profit."
"Haven't you always thought my cousin's bracelets were beautiful? When I came here, I specifically asked her about it. She said she bought the jade in Youcheng. She bought it as a whole piece. Not only did she get a pair of bracelets, but she also got a hairpin and a ring, all made from the same piece of jade."
Fang Yunniang was so moved by what she heard that she immediately put down her cutlery and said, "Okay! Then let's go out and come back early."
When going out in the capital, women usually wear hat veils, so this aunt and sister-in-law also follow this rule.
But when I really went out, I found that in this secluded city, the separation between men and women was not very strict. Many women did not take any protective measures. On the contrary, this pair of aunt and sister-in-law were more eye-catching - after all, such dressing was very rare in the secluded city.
Fang Yunniang and Huo Qingyue first went to a snack shop. Looking at the soups served, Huo Qingyue felt that wearing a veil was too troublesome, so she simply didn't wear it.
Although he also learned from other customers in the store and enjoyed the food openly.
After taking a sip of the hot soup, the salty and fresh taste, as well as the aroma of meat in the soup, made Huo Qingyue squint her eyes in happiness.
However, Fang Yunniang didn't want to take off her hat veil, so she just bought some buns and ate them under the cover of her hat veil.
"Boss, is your wife feeling better after the shock she suffered earlier?" At this time, a woman dressed in shorts walked in with a pen and paper in her hand.
