The Prime Minister's Mansion is particularly lively today, and the entourage maids who are busy coming in and out, plus the private doctors in the house, are full of courtyards. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ban Yi was lying on the bed crying and shouting, his mother Huo Cuicui was full of sadness, and she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes several times in distress.

The maidservant on the side persuaded: "Madame, pay attention to your body, the doctor said that the young master is only a skin injury, and it will be fine if he recuperates for a while." ”

Huo Cuicui covered her face and said: "Why is this son of the Huo family so ruthless, I have known his father since childhood, and we are still of the same clan, he and Yi'er are also half brothers, even if there are thousands of things, they can't be so heavy." Poor my Yi'er, now that he is injured like this, what will he do if he falls ill in the future? ”

Ban Pinren sat at the table next to him, his mind was not on his son at all, he just closed his eyes and thought about what was in his heart.

At this time, a domestic servant walked closer, bowed down and said, "Master, there is Lord Huo, the chief director of Qianjitang, who is outside, asking to see you." ”

Not only Ban Pinren, but Huo Cuicui on the side and the housekeeper's entourage were also stunned. Even Ban Yi, who was screaming on the bed, stopped his voice.

"Let him come to my study." Ban Pinren left a sentence, got up and walked towards his study.

"Father-in-law." Huo Mengsheng walked into the study and saluted Ban Pinren.

Ban Pinren sat at the desk holding the scroll in his hand and asked, "Are you here for Ban Yi's business?" ”

"I can't hide anything from my father-in-law."

"My son, I know it in my heart, so it's good to teach him a lesson."

"The father-in-law is virtuous, but the fault is the younger brother, and the father will inevitably punish him severely when he learns about it. I'll take him to the door another day to apologize to Ban Yi. ”

Ban Pinren put down the scroll, and there was a hint of solemnity on his face, "Don't talk about this, we haven't seen each other for a while, you come with me." With that, he stood up and led Huo Mengsheng out of the side door of the study, and the two walked side by side along the courtyard corridor with the fragrance of birds and flowers.

"You've been the Grand Director of Qianjitang for a year, how do you feel?"

"Thanks to the care of all the seniors in the court, the subordinates inside the Thousand Machine Hall are also very cooperative with my work."

Ban Pinren walked to the small pool in the courtyard, where the crystal clear water was paved with pebbles of all sizes, and a few red carp swam in the water. The fish seemed to recognize him as their master, and swam towards him with their tails wagging.

"In fact, the affairs of the DPRK and China are like this pool, which seems to be clear and transparent, but in fact, the silt that sinks to the bottom will become muddy as long as it is turned slightly. We were just one of the fish, trying to swing our tail fin desperately to escape, thinking we were in a safe area, but we didn't know that we would never be able to swim out of the pool. ”

Huo Mengsheng's gaze originally stopped on the water, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Ban Pinren's side face, "Why is my father-in-law worried?" ”

A smile crossed the corner of Ban Pinren's mouth, "You still know my mind best." Then he asked, "Mengsheng, what kind of empire should the empire in your heart be?" ”

Huo Mengsheng blinked, as if he didn't expect Ban Pinren to ask such a question, he was silent for a while, and replied: "The lord is virtuous, the people are rich, all industries are prosperous, and the world is peaceful." This is my ideal empire. ”

"Do you think the empire is as good as you say it is?"

"On the surface, it's empty."

"Where's the void?"

"You don't have to worry about trouble, the people have no thoughts, there is no hard work, and there are no blessings and disasters in the sky."

Ban Pinren nodded frequently, "Nowadays, the atmosphere of forming parties and running private interests in the DPRK and China is too strong, and several emerging forces have risen in the border in recent years, these are all potential hidden dangers. General Feng Huwen is already old, if there is another war, only your Huo family can serve His Majesty. ”

Huo Mengsheng's eyes unconsciously widened, and from Ban Pinren's words, he could feel something sharp, like cold ice and like a snowy blade.

Huo Wuxian felt a piercing coldness coming from his knees, and he was kneeling on the hard stone brick floor, and not far in front of him sat his father Huo Yiben.

"For the sake of a singer, you beat the son of the prime minister. What's going on in your mind? Huo Yiben's gaze was like a sharp sword projected on his son.

Huo Wuxian argued: "He provoked me first, and I did it." ”

"You hurt someone, but you are still reasonable?"

"Then I can't let others bully, right?"

"I've told you since I was a child that you are in Zhonghe, it's good for you to swagger through the market every day, for fear that others won't know that you are the third young master of the Huo family."

"I also have my own life, just like the eldest brother and the second brother, don't they all do what they want to do?"

"You also have the face to compare with your eldest brother and second brother, they are on the right path, what about you? Evil sect crooked. ”

"Who said that the life of spending time and drinking is a crooked way? I found my own joy in it. ”

"You unfilial son!" Huo Yiben turned red with anger, and casually picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it.

Huo Wuxian saw that his father was really angry, so he stopped talking.

As a father, Huo Yiben did not fulfill his responsibility to educate. It was precisely because he was too strict with his eldest and second sons in the past that he wanted to change his attitude when he came to the younger son. Seeing Huo Mengsheng and Huo Yunqi leave the Huo family to stand on their own, he was happy and felt a little lonely at the same time. He wants his youngest son to be an ordinary ordinary person, and to stay by his side when he gets married and has children. Although such an intention is a bit selfish, it is not too much for a middle-aged man who has lost his spouse prematurely. But who would have thought that he loved his son to this day, and he would be spoiled like this, and even he couldn't control it.

The chief steward Zhou Wen brought in two servants to clean up the broken teacups, and said to Huo Yiben: "Master, although the third young master made a mistake this time, that Ban Yi is also a well-known gentleman in the city. You have always known the third young master's temperament, he is a little indulgent on weekdays, but he has never done anything foolish to hurt his body. Ban Xiang has been friends with you for decades, and he will definitely not be embarrassed by the third young master. ”

Huo Yiben had nowhere to vent his anger, so he sat there silently. Zhou Wen took the opportunity to wave his hand at Huo Wuxian, and he re-served a cup of hot tea to Huo Yiben and said: "Master don't be bored, the third young master is still young now, and you have been petted from childhood to adulthood, so naturally you are not as young as the eldest young master and the second young master." As long as the next time the master goes out to lead the troops, he will also bring the third young master and let him see the world, there will always be a change. ”

Huo Yiben drank half a cup of tea in one go, put down the teacup and said, "I also thought about it, but with this child's physique, I'm afraid there will be no big deal in the future." ”

"Don't be disappointed, master, there are thousands of ways to become a talent, the third young master may not have the potential to develop in politics and the military camp, but it is not good to say that he can have extraordinary achievements in other fields."

"It's extraordinary that he doesn't get me into trouble all day." Huo Yiben sighed and said to Zhou Wen again: "Don't talk about this. Tomorrow the lord will receive me at the palace, and I think it may be that there is another war on the frontier. You go and arrange a transfer to the imperial car, and come to see me into the palace at five o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

Besides, Huo Wuxian left safely under the cover of Zhou Wen, and after walking on the corridor for a while, he felt hungry in his stomach, so he simply changed his direction and walked towards his kitchen. When he was about to arrive, he happened to meet a maid in the aisle.

"Hello, Third Young Master." said she was a maid, but in fact she was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Her name is Xiaoya, of course, this is the title of a slave after entering the Huo family.

Huo Wuxian stared at the ink-colored bamboo food box that Xiao Ya was carrying, and asked, "What are you holding?" ”

Xiao Ya hurriedly replied: "It's some dried fruit preserves, and Manager Zhou asked me to take them for the ancestral mourning hall to be used for." ”

Huo Wuxian grabbed it and lifted the lid to take a look. I saw peeled walnuts, almonds, peanuts, melon seeds, cashew nuts, pistachios, and the bottom layer was raisins, dried mangoes, bayberry, sweet dates, and so on. Everything is served in small dishs and a mixed fruity aroma erupts as soon as the lid is opened.

Xiao Yali was at a loss on the side, and he didn't dare to step forward to stop him. Seeing her delicate and lovely appearance, Huo Wuxian couldn't resist the impulse in his heart for a while, so he grabbed her white little hand in his palm, pulled it to the idle bedroom more than ten meters away from the corridor in three or two steps, pushed the door and entered.

Xiao Ya was about to struggle, but her soft and delicate body was the opponent of Huo Wuxian, a young man. She didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of upsetting the third young master, and she would be punished again when she turned around. was in a two-sided dilemma, and her person had been pulled into the bedroom by Huo Wuxian.

Huo Wuxian put the food box on the round tabletop, sat on the round stool first, and then hugged Xiaoya into his arms. Looking at the white face that was close at hand, I couldn't help but feel a burst of blood boiling in my heart.

"Third Young Master, don't be like this, let me go." Xiao Ya didn't dare to look at Huo Wuji's face, and two red clouds of shyness instantly floated on her cheeks.

Huo Wuxian loved it more and more, and the palm that hugged Xiaoya's waist began to slowly rub it on her lower abdomen. said in his mouth: "What are you shy, Xiaoya, I haven't seen where the young master is on you." ”

Xiao Ya didn't dare to resist too fiercely, so she had to gently twist her delicate body to resist, "Third Young Master, don't fool me, I still have to go to the ancestral spirit hall." ”

Huo Wuxian put his face to Xiao Ya's cheek and laughed softly: "Then I want Xiao Ya to feed me, and I'll let you go when I'm done." ”

Xiao Ya was familiar with the temperament of this naughty young master, so she had to nod her head and agree. She stretched out her white little hand to the food box, turned her face to stare at Huo Wuxian and asked, "Third Young Master, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Anything is fine, as long as it is fed by Xiaoya, I like it, young master." Huo Wuxian didn't look at the food box at all, but just poked out the tip of his nose and burrowed into Xiao Ya's black waterfall-like hair, savoring the faint body fragrance emanating from the girl.

Xiao Ya casually took out an almond from the food box and handed it to Huo Wuxian's lips. Huo Wuxian actually opened his mouth and took Xiao Ya's fingertips into his mouth, slippery saliva smeared his fingers, and there seemed to be an electric current under his skin reaching deep into his brain. Xiao Ya endured this feeling, but her cheeks were red like ripe tomatoes in the field, and she didn't dare to put her arms down until Huo Wuxian was satisfied and relieved.

At this time, the brains of the two people seemed to have been soaked in wine, and their bodies seemed to sway left and right in a pile of soft cotton. Young people are easily paralyzed by emotion, and they are also easily carried away by hot blood, but this is also the original appearance of human beings, no one can escape, and no one will not fall into it.
