Chapter 290: Questioning (Page 1/1)

The Star Picking Tower is the largest and most prestigious restaurant in Chang'an City, and everyone who enters and exits here is either rich or expensive. As the current head of Haoyuefang, Huo Ming is naturally no stranger to this place. But when he stepped into the restaurant today, he felt both nervous and excited.

"Huo Dongjia, please. The young man who led the way in front led Huo Ming to a private room on the third floor and motioned for him to go in by himself.

Huo Ming stabilized his mind, straightened his clothes again, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he cautiously pushed the door in.

In the private room of "Huo Dongjia", there is a handsome woman in Tsing Yi sitting at the round table of yellow rosewood, holding a hanging hair and a silver hairpin, dressed very plainly, but there is a bit of heroism between her eyebrows.

Just when Huo Ming thought that this was the person he wanted to see and was about to salute, the woman in green clothes squatted down first and saluted: "The slave and maid are waiting here on the order of the master of the family, please move to follow the slave and maid." ”

Huo Ming secretly said "ashamed" and almost mistook the maid for the master, and changed the worship ceremony to a handshake in an improvisation, and said politely: "There is a labor girl." ”

The woman in Tsing Yi led Huo Ming to the back of the screen in the wing room, where there was a yaoqin in the window.

"Huo Dongjia, please wait. The woman in Tsing Yi suddenly sat cross-legged behind the piano case, plucked the strings and began to stroke the piano.

Huo Ming was looking at her inexplicably, and there was a noise above his head, and he looked up in surprise, only to see a dark ladder slowly falling. Huo Ming glanced at the maid, and when he saw her nodding at him, he understood that the main lord was above. I became more and more apprehensive in my heart, and there were so many tricks when I met him, and the things that he wanted to do by himself must be not small! After being apprehensive, there was a burst of excitement, and this was not a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions?

With such a contradictory mood, Huo Ming stepped on the dark ladder that fell above his head and climbed up step by step.

Unlike what he imagined, Huo Ming thought that there was a dark pavilion above, but what greeted him was a bright sky. Huo Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that this star-picking tower was indeed only three floors, but the owner was ingenious and built a platform on the top of the building, surrounded by towering eaves, unless he stood on a higher place and looked down, he would not know that such a platform existed. And the Star Picking Building is surrounded by two-story merchants, and no one will know that the Star Picking Building has such an institution!

Huo Ming sighed at the ingenious thoughts of the owner of the Star Picking Building, and looked around the platform without a trace. This place is about the size of two wings, but the layout is rare and simple and elegant, with the soft and beautiful gardens of the south of the Yangtze River and the solemn atmosphere of the imperial capital of Chang'an. But what attracted him the most was not the layout here, but the delicate silhouette of a girl swinging under the wisteria trellis in that corner.

When Huo Ming looked at the girl in a trance, the maid Jian Ying, who had been ignored, reminded a little unhappily: "My master has been waiting for a long time, please go with the slave and maid to visit." "Hmph! Shang Jia was born without knowing etiquette, so he dared to stare at the young lady so directly!

Huo Ming suddenly came back to his senses, his heart jumped suddenly, and he secretly scolded himself for being damned! Such a gaffe in front of the nobles! Hurry up and be careful, and say to Jian Ying neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The tired girl leads the way." ”

The two walked in front of Li Shuning, who was swinging happily, one after the other, and Jian Ying reported respectfully: "Miss, Huo Dongjia is here." ”

Li Shuning's swing was halfway through, and when she heard the words, she didn't wait for the swing to land, she directly turned over and jumped off the swing, landed on the ground steadily, and looked at Huo Ming, who was standing with her head up, and said, "You are the current person in charge of Haoyuefang, Huo Ming?"

Huo Ming didn't dare to look up at her, but only replied, "Yes, it's the grass people." I don't know what the general commanded. ”

A title made Li Shuning smile, compared to Miss Li San, she still likes others to call her a general, after all, the former is because of her background, while the latter is earned by herself, so it feels naturally different.

She was in a good mood, and she saw that Huo Ming was naturally pleasing to the eye, so she walked to the stone platform next to the swing frame and sat down, looked up at Huo Ming, who was also coming over, and said, "I came to you today to ask the teacher to ask for guilt." Although it was a question, Li Shuning's tone was unhurried, and she couldn't hear half of her anger.

But the more this is the case, the more uneasy Huo Ming becomes, and he doesn't have time to think about where he offended Li Shuning, so he asks for the guilt first, and then says, "The grass people are ignorant, I don't know when I offended Miss, Miss Wanwang forgives me!"

Seeing his frightened appearance, Li Shuning was secretly proud in her heart, seeing that what she said was really right, speaking in such a tone is much more effective than speaking harshly!

Huo Ming's cold sweat came out, and he almost knelt down for Li Shuning, and said more and more respectfully and innocently: "The grass people really don't know, ask Miss to make it clear!"

Li Shuning felt that the heat was almost over, so she deliberately snorted coldly, slapped the table and said: "What is your intention to order your subordinate shopkeeper to spread the rumors that my Anguo Mansion is bullying people and forcing the Duchess of Yueguo to death?!" Without waiting for Huo Ming to defend herself, she convicted him, "If there is chaos today, there are thieves everywhere, you upload such rumors at this juncture, you either want to take advantage of the chaos to rebel, or you are a thief!"

"General!" Huo Ming really knelt down for Li Shuning this time, "The grass people are just businessmen, and they don't dare to have the heart to rebel even if they borrow courage from the sky! As for the meticulous work of the anti-thieves, where do they start? Although the grass people have a humble status and are not worthy of being a minister under the account of the prince, in addition to doing business, the grass people have always only done things for the prince, and they have put their wealth and life in the hands of the prince, and it is too late to do their best to be loyal, how can they spread any rumors that are unfavorable to the Anguo Mansion? Please be clear!"

"I've seen it!" Li Shuning said coldly: "The rumor that my second brother forced my aunt to death is the shopkeeper in your shop......" Li Shuning raised his eyes and glanced at the sword shadow standing on the side, "What's that person's name?"

Jian Ying pursed his lips and said secretly: "Miss pretends to be really like!" but replied cooperatively: "Fan Lichun, he spread this rumor through the mouths of a few young men who delivered goods in Haoyuefang, at first it was just a neighborhood, and then everyone who bought lanterns in Haoyuefang knew about this rumor, and even many high-ranking families in Chang'an City had heard of it. ”

"I'm surprised!" Li Shuning sneered after Jian Ying finished speaking: "How dare a mere shopkeeper slander the Anguo Mansion indiscriminately? If no one is behind him, does he have the guts?" suddenly raised his voice and shouted to Huo Ming, who was already covered with cold sweat, "What else do you have ?!!!to say?"
