Chapter 571: Old Man
They walked on the street with momentum, attracting many people to note that although Songjiang is not a small city, there are few such grand honor guards appearing, just looking at the identity of the person in the sedan chair is extraordinary.
Guo Wenying sat in the sedan chair, looking at the kneeling people around her, and felt a little proud in her heart. Since she has been an official and an official, she has done this style, and she can have today's status and identity as a woman, which is definitely something to be proud of.
After traveling all the way, the sedan chair stopped at Xiangyue Tower. The old man of the Hu family invited a treat, and he was a second-class official, so he naturally wrapped up the entire Xiangyue Building. There were many people standing at the door, including the shopkeeper and his men in the restaurant, as well as the subordinates of the Hu family, all standing on both sides and waiting to greet Guo Wenying, which could be regarded as giving her enough face.
Guo Wenying got off the sedan chair, and a housekeeper greeted him and saluted: "My lord is fine, our old man is waiting for my lord in the elegant seat on the second floor." The old man said that he was accompanying a very important guest, and it was inconvenient to go downstairs to greet him, and he asked for forgiveness for the offense. ”
Guo Wenying bowed slightly, although she has a high status, but the other party is an old man in the end, she is young and orderly, and she can't afford to let people come out to greet her.
She stepped up to the second floor and was greeted directly into the innermost room, the largest private room. Walking slowly, I couldn't help but guess in my heart, who was the distinguished guest that Mr. Hu was accompanying? In a place like Songjiang, could anyone else be more valuable than her?
The housekeeper opened the curtain and invited her in, and the moment the curtain was lifted, Guo Wenying was a little dumbfounded. Although she has never seen Old Man Hu, she can imagine a little bit based on Hu Yiyuan and his appearance.
And what surprised her the most was the man who sat next to him, also seventy or eighty years old, with a mustache under his chin, and a pale blue gown and a floppy hat. Who is it if it's not Old Man Fang?
She was a little incredulous, and after looking at it several times, she confirmed that it was Fang Yuntang's father, the old man Fang who had helped her a lot in the southeast.
She is ashamed of this old man, and the fate of the Fang family is confiscated, which can be said to have nothing to do with her. She was already guilty in her heart, but when she saw it at this time, she felt even more faceless, and hurriedly lifted her robe and knelt down, "Wen Ying has seen Old Man Fang." ”
When Old Man Fang saw her, he was very enthusiastic, and hurriedly helped her up, and said with a smile: "How dare you, how dare you, now I, an old man, am unofficial and light, and his title has been eliminated, he is just an ordinary person, but he can't afford to kneel as an adult." ”
He forcibly dragged Guo Wenying up, but Guo Wenying had to follow.
The old man over there stroked his beard and smiled: "I have heard that our Governor is a very capable person, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary, and my lord was really magnificent. He said and glanced at Old Man Fang, "Yes, old friend." ”
Old Man Fang was noncommittal, and only said to Guo Wenying: "If there is something to sit down and say, it's not a matter to stand." ”
Guo Wenying lowered her head and sat down, her momentum when she came was gone, and she secretly said in her heart, this head of the Hu family is really amazing, he was able to invite Fang Yuntang and his father to be a lobbyist, and it seems that he knows everything about her.
After a while, the dishes were all served, and a table full of them were all the most famous specialties. I was going to have a big meal, but when I saw the table full of dishes, I lost my appetite at all.
Old Man Hu took the lead in raising his glass, "Today I am fortunate to have a reunion with my old friends for many years, and I have invited the Governor, it is really a blessing for the old and deceased three lives, come, come, I will do it first as a respect." He tilted his neck and drank three glasses in a row.
Old Man Fang also poured himself three glasses, and said with a smile: "You old guy hasn't asked me to drink for several years, and if you can drink the wine you invited today, even if it goes into the coffin, you will be content." ”
The two drank together, and Guo Wenying had to accompany her, and she was about to vomit blood. Originally, she had the upper hand in this matter, but now Hu Yiyuan is holding it in her hand, she said that others dare not say the west, but at this time, the old man Fang came forward to say yes, will she release people or not release people?
After drinking three glasses of wine tastelessly, Old Man Hu spoke, "I can't hide it, I have no choice but to invite my brother here today, it's really my grandson who has caused a big disaster and wants to bother my brother." ”
As he spoke, he told him how Hu Yiyuan offended Guo Wenying, and pointed out Dong Yue's intention to provoke discord.
Guo Wenying only then understood why Dong Yue looked like he was loveless when he saw her today, presumably this old man didn't trouble him a lot, and he was enough to fix him.
Old Man Fang listened to his words, but he was not in a hurry to intercede, he just looked at Guo Wenying and said, "Wenying, I saw Yuntang some time ago, and he said that he saw you on an island called something, but is it true?"
Guo Wenying nodded, "I've seen it once." ”
Old Man Fang sighed: "To be honest, I can't control this kid Yuntang, he has been careful and wild, and he has done a lot of things that shouldn't be done, and the Fang family can have this fate has something to do with him." Although you two children are not fated, I still like you in my heart, and I hope that your future life will be smooth. ”
Guo Wenying was a little ashamed, and wanted to say something, but felt that it seemed inappropriate to say anything. Although Fang Yuntang was at fault first, it was also because of her that Feng Jingting hated the upper family. Of course, it was also because of her face that she didn't kill the other party's family. This back and forth, I don't know if it's hatred or kindness.
Old Man Fang said again: "The past is over, if you are lucky enough to see him in the future, persuade him well, don't get along with yourself all day long, then when you see him, the whole person has lost a few laps." ”
In the end, he is a father, how can he not feel sorry for his son, Guo Wenying seemed to be fine when she saw Fang Yuntang last time, presumably she was sad when she saw her, and she felt bad.
She didn't nod her head, she didn't shake her head, she was still silent. Later, Old Man Fang didn't want to say anything, and the atmosphere seemed to condense all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Old Man Hu hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, why are you talking about it for a long time, what should I do if I ask you?"
Guo Wenying felt that even if he talked to them about Hu Yiyuan, it was better than talking about Fang Yuntang, and when she heard this, she hurriedly said: "There is no need for Old Man Fang to open his mouth about this, since Old Man Hu is a friend of the Fang family, it is not impossible for me to sell this face." ”
Old Man Hu pursed his lips, "What's the matter?"
