Huo Zongyuan didn't expect that he would actually see King Duan in front of the Shen family!
He had heard that King Duan lived in the Lingering Garden near the Shen Mansion, so he was always extra careful when passing by the Lingering Garden, even if he came to the Shen family this time, he came secretly. But...... This honorable prince, how could he appear with Shen Yu?
Thinking of Xu Yan's sternness, Huo Zongyuan only felt a chill in his heart, but he still had the courage to climb up, and greeted him with a sneering greeting: "End...... Uncle Duanwang. ”
Xu Yan slowly paced forward, his face recovering his usual stern and cold attitude, and asked, "What are you making trouble here?" ”
"I ...... I want to see Mr. Shen...... I want to ask him about his knowledge. Huo Zongyuan is nonsense.
Xu Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and the long whip in his sleeve was thrown out, sweeping straight towards the little guy beside Huo Zongyuan, and said sharply: "Say!" ”
"The prince spares his life!" That little guy is Huo Zongyuan's long-term follower, so he naturally recognizes His Royal Highness Duanwang, who Huo Zongyuan called the "Living Yama King". When the whip was swept on his shoulder, his skin was open, he bared his teeth in pain, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "The prince spares his life!" The little grandfather is indeed here...... Ouch! ”
When the second whip fell heavily, there was only a hot pain in his shoulder, where could the little guy stand it, so he hurriedly stepped forward on his knees, changed his words and begged for mercy, "Yes...... I'm here to see Miss Shen. ”
"What are you doing with Miss Shen?" Xu Yan's gaze swept towards Huo Zongyuan.
"I ...... I ......" Huo Zongyuan was shocked by that gaze, and subconsciously took half a step back. looked at Shen Yu involuntarily - he has been coming to Luling for more than ten days, although he is under the banner of playing and relaxing, most of his heart is still to see the beauty. When I arrived at the Shen family, I couldn't see it a few times, and I was eager to see it, but now when I see the girl who is thinking about it, I can't help but want to see more.
Xu Yan became angry when he saw this, stepped forward a few steps, and said coldly: "I heard that you did evil here last year, bullying the weak, bullying people like the Shen family, not to mention, injuring people in his house, and burning down other people's bookstores?" ”
"Uncle Duanwang...... This...... Where did I hear about this. Miss Shen is so beautiful, where will I bully her family. Huo Zongyuan smiled dryly, knowing that the man in front of him was also an unreasonable and undisciplined master, adhering to the principle of "if you can't beat it, you will run", slipped to the side, and wanted to run.
Xu Yan seemed to have expected this, and before he could take two steps, the long whip reached out like a spiritual snake, firmly wrapped around Huo Zongyuan's waist, and pulled him back. His left hand poked out like lightning, and he had already grasped the clothes on his chest and lifted Huo Zongyuan up.
As soon as Huo Zongyuan looked at his cold face, he knew that Xu Yan's anger this time was unusual, and he was frightened, hanging in the air and dancing, "Hey...... Ay...... Uncle Duanwang, let me down first...... Ouch. ”
Xu Yan is known as the god of war, and he is also very skilled in catching people, and the iron-like fist against Huo Zongyuan's chest suddenly made him scream in pain.
Shen Yu looked at the situation and couldn't help but stick out her tongue in amazement.
The two of them are sixteen years old and the other is twenty years old, and their age and size are obviously not much different, but Huo Zongyuan fell into Xu Yan's hands, but he didn't have the slightest power to resist.
The evil breath in her heart seemed to come out a lot, and she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips.
Xu Yan's expression was not as good-looking as hers, and he put Huo Zongyuan on the ground heavily, and said solemnly: "If you dare to come here to make trouble, I will break your legs!" ”
Huo Zongyuan's face was pale, and he didn't understand why King Duan would protect the Shen family like this, but this master has always done what he said, where did Huo Zongyuan dare to say more, and nodded, "Remember!" Remember! ”
Xu Yan said coldly: "I took advantage of the morning to rest my thoughts about Miss Shen." Go ahead. ”
Although Huo Zongyuan was very reluctant to the previous order, when he heard that Xu Yan was willing to let him go, he didn't want to think about it, so he took the few little guys behind him, and hurriedly ran away with oil on the soles of his feet.
After running away, he looked back, Huo Zongyuan was still in shock.
When he was in the capital, there were still people who could help him, but Emperor Luling Tiangao was far away, and when he met this fierce and vicious uncle, he had no choice but to flee in the wilderness.
- Huo Zongyuan dared to be domineering in the capital and dared to bully wantonly in Luling, in addition to relying on his aunt to be the queen and his father to be the uncle of the country, the most important thing is that his mother is the sister of Emperor Huiping today, the eldest princess of Huazhen.
Huo Zongyuan's grandfather, Huo Qing, was a well-known Confucian in that year, although he failed to take on the position of the prince and the prince due to the intricate relationship in the court, he often entered the palace to explain articles to the princes. The first emperor appreciated his talent and learning, and saw that his son Huo Shining was upright and elegant, and could be an example for all scholars, so he promised his daughter Huazhen, the eldest princess, to him.
Later, Emperor Huiping grew older, and because he was often taught by Huo Shining, he married his young daughter Huo as a concubine. Later, when he succeeded in winning the throne and entered the palace, he immediately canonized Huo Shi as the queen and named Huo Shining as the Duke of the Kingdom.
The eldest princess Huazhen has a noble status, and her relationship with Huo Shining at the beginning of her marriage can be regarded as harmonious, but the heirs have not been satisfactory, and she has given birth to two daughters in a row, and she has been looking forward to seven or eight years and finally gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and she is very fond of Huo Zongyuan.
The Huo family is a famous family of Confucianism, and the upbringing of the children is very important, and the first two girls are well-read people.
Later, Huo Shining resigned for some reason, left the entire family business, and stopped asking at all, and the Huo family was left with only Mrs. Huo and Princess Huazhen.
Although Mrs. Huo said that he had the heart to twist his grandson's temper, the eldest princess Huazhen was very protective, he had just given a big stick here, and the eldest princess comforted her with sweet dates. It's just that he has a sweet mouth and can coax people, and he is stubborn outside, but when he comes to the queen and the eldest princess, he is very good at being obedient, and his slippery temperament makes it difficult for people to rectify him.
Many people in the capital gritted their teeth against this gentleman, but they were helpless.
Except for Xu Yan.
Although Xu Yan is only four years older than Huo Zongyuan, because of his status as an uncle, he has the prestige of an elder. And because of his noble and special status, he doesn't have to be afraid of the forces of the two behind Huo Zongyuan at all, if he encounters Huo Zongyuan who has done something evil, he will be severely punished - he is too lazy to reason or go to the court to decide the lawsuit, and directly counter violence with violence, teach a lesson, and beat him hard.
Huo Zongyuan initially tried to sue the eldest princess and the queen in front of the black case, but in the end, Xu Yan revealed the truth behind him, and he couldn't get any bargains. Later, he didn't dare to fight against Xu Yan, so he avoided Xu Yan like hiding from the king of Hades, and looked forward to him going to Mobei to fight every day.
Who knew that today's bad luck actually ran into this evil star again.
It's really a good day to go out!
Seeing the wolf fleeing, Shen Yu laughed so hard that she stepped forward and said, "He seems to be very afraid of the prince?" ”
Xu Yan's tense face relaxed a little, and he lowered his head and said, "He was injured in the leg by me." ”
…… So the phrase "break your legs" just now is really not used to scare people!
After this commotion, Shen Mansion naturally would not be ignorant, and the porter had already been lying in the crack of the door to peep outside. I didn't know Xu Yan when I first saw him, and I was even more wary when I heard him called "Duanwang", and I felt very happy after seeing him drive away Huo Zongyuan.
Shen Yu walked in happily with a cane, and Uncle He in the porter was shocked, "Girl, you ......"
"It's okay, it's too fast to walk, just raise it for seven or eight days." Shen Yan waved her hand indifferently, and while inviting Xu Yan in, she asked again, "Is the family okay?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's that Huo ...... The little grandfather made trouble a few times, but we didn't open the door. ”
Shen Yan smiled when she heard this, "Today, His Royal Highness King Duan will help, that Huo Zongyuan is afraid that he will never dare to make trouble in the future, and you can also be cleaner." While speaking, he personally stretched out his hand to guide Xu Yan, and asked, "Where is my mother?" ”
"Madame is in the backyard, I just sent a message in, this will be ...... Lo and behold, Madame has come! Uncle He smiled and looked at the hanging flower arch on the side, and saw Mrs. Shen hurriedly walking over surrounded by a group of maids, originally with a smile on her face, when she saw the cane in Shen Fei's hand, she suddenly became worried, and stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I accidentally twisted my foot, so I was driven back by my father." Shen Yan smiled easily.
Mrs. Shen's hanging heart was slightly lowered, and then she looked at Xu Yan.
She lived in the inner house most of the time, and when King Duan came to the bookstore to watch the method of carving books, she was accompanied by Shen Ping, and she had never seen it, so she didn't recognize it. However, His Royal Highness Duanwang's bearing is different from others, Mrs. Shen's vision is not bad, she only feels that her temperament is noble and noble, and there is hidden coercion, thinking that she is a person with a very good future, so she saluted and said: "Son, please have tea in the living room." ”
Shen Yu said: "This is His Royal Highness King Duan, and I have been taken care of by him all the way back." ”
Mrs. Shen was shocked when she heard this, but she still had a decent smile on her face, and she bowed deeply, and said, "The little girl has caused trouble to His Highness, and there have been many disturbances along the way, and the women are grateful." ”
Xu Yan was usually impatient with these cumbersome etiquettes, and usually he would retire after sending people to the door, but when he arrived at the Shen family......
He didn't shirk either, followed the mother and daughter of the Shen family into the living room, and said a few words about Shen Ping's recent situation by the way, which was nothing more than Shen Ping's dedication to the matter of collecting books.
Of course, Mrs. Shen also had to be humble for a while, and her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. She was originally a lady from an official family, if she hadn't been in love with Shen Ping, she would have been a noble lady in the Houmen of the capital at this time, and it would be easy to receive a prince as a common person.
After drinking two cups of tea, Xu Yan played with the Shen family's unique scholarly and elegant arrangement, and suddenly asked: "I heard that the Zunfu intends to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business, but is there such a thing?" ”
Mrs. Shen never expected that this prince would mention Shen Yan's marriage, and she couldn't help but be very surprised.
Shen Yan next to her was originally lowering her head to play with the teacup, and she was surprised when she heard the words, so she couldn't help but prick up her ears and listen.
