In the afternoon of the same day, Bai Sujin took Huo Siyuan to the Li Mansion.

After knocking on the door a few times, a middle-aged woman walked out, saw Bai Sujin, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Bai is here, this is Huo Gongzi, come in, the lord and the lady are waiting in the lobby." ”

When he entered the door, along the way, Huo Siyuan found that there didn't seem to be any servants in the Li Mansion, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, so he asked: "Mrs. Bai, this Li Mansion is so quiet and quiet, why don't you even have a servant all the way?" ”

Bai Sujin said with a smile: "Huo Gongzi doesn't know, although Master Li is in the jewelry business and has some money at home, but his heart is quiet, so he didn't hire too many people to serve, only hired a bookkeeper and Wu Ma who cooked, and the one who opened the door to us just now was Wu Ma." Miss Li also has only one maid by her side, so you can't see the maid. ”

Huo Siyuan nodded, looking clear, and didn't say more.

When he entered the lobby, Huo Siyuan really saw Master Li and Mrs. Li drinking tea in the hall. Take a closer look, Master Li is just that, his face is ordinary, just wearing ordinary satin clothes, although he is rich, but he has no extravagance at all. However, Mrs. Li is well-dressed, wearing fine tassel earrings, high hair, jasper beads on her head, and a fine pearl necklace around her neck.

Bai Sujin stepped forward and said, "Master Li, I brought someone here, this is Huo Gongzi." ”

Huo Siyuan hurriedly leaned over and saluted, and said softly: "Xiaosheng Huo Siyuan, meet Master Li and Mrs. Li." ”

Master Li and Mrs. Li looked at Huo Siyuan carefully, nodded to each other again, and Master Li smiled: "It's a talent, your name is Huo Siyuan, what are the words." ”

Huo Siyuan originally wanted to take the opportunity to show off his talent, but he thought that Master Li was a businessman after all, but he was afraid that he would not understand the poetry of Wen Crepe, so he said: "Huo is sick, Huo is missing, far and near." ”

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard a female voice as crisp as a silver bell coming from behind: "Daddy, is this Huo Gongzi?" ”

Huo Siyuan looked back, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl walking in with a smile, followed by an ordinary-looking girl, who was even more lined with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, like a water lotus that was not stained with dust.

Because Master Li is a businessman, he doesn't pay so much attention to it, but Mrs. Li is a knowledgeable person, and said angrily: "Nonsense, you are a girl's family, what are you doing here, go back quickly." ”

Master Li waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile: "Where are these rules in our family, although it is said that the marriage is a major event, there is the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, but after our daughter has seen it in person, isn't it more reassuring." It is also good for them to meet and talk to each other. ”

Hearing this, Bai Sujin also said: "Yes, Mrs. Li, Miss Guifu and Huo Gongzi have met each other, wouldn't it be better if they both had intentions." ”

Mrs. Li had no reason to object to Miss Li talking to Huo Gongzi, so she had to say, "Okay, it's all here, it's just right, how about you take a look?" ”

Miss Li looked at Huo Gongzi, smiled lightly, and said, "Childe, don't stand, let's sit down and talk." ”

Huo Siyuan and Bai Sujin both sat down, Bai Sujin laughed twice, and took the lead in saying: "Master Li, I also told you, what about Huo Gongzi, he is innocent, his parents passed away early, he is a scholar, and his writing is good, I saw him today, I don't know what Master Li thinks?" ”

Master Li nodded, snorted, and said with a smile: "It's good for me to look at it." He turned his head to face Huo Siyuan and continued, "Scholars naturally understand more truths, but I don't know, what are your opinions on the way of doing business?" ”

When Huo Siyuan heard this, he was a little excited, and Master Li actually asked him about the way of doing business, which showed that Master Li had a few installments for him, and he was busy saying: "Although Xiaosheng doesn't know much about business, he is willing to teach." ”

Miss Li glanced at Master Li, hinting that she was intentional, Master Li understood and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't, where anyone is born with anything, in the future, I will teach you slowly." ”

Speaking of which, Huo Siyuan knew that this matter was also the majority.

Miss Li Yingying said with a smile: "Huo Gongzi, according to my mind, it is good to know how to do business, but if Tsinghua is more elegant, it is better." Huo Gongzi is familiar with poetry, so it is better to answer me correctly, and let me see Huo Gongzi's literary brilliance. ”

Huo Siyuan hurriedly said: "Miss Li, please ask the question." ”

Miss Li thought for a while, and said with a slight smile: "There is a poem in the Book of Songs, which can only be used once in a lifetime, entitled 'Evil Spirit', I wonder if Huo Gongzi can say it in full?" “

Huo Siyuan smiled knowingly, made a slight gesture, and read softly: "I want to know you well, life is endless, mountains are edgeless, rivers are exhausted, thunder and earthquake in winter, rain and snow in summer, heaven and earth are together, but I dare to be with you." ”

Miss Li nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this poem, Gongzi should keep it in mind and never forget it." ”

As if touching his heart, Huo Siyuan's face was a little stagnant, and then he soothed again, and said with a faint smile: "This poem must be remembered in my heart, and I will never dare to forget it, and I must also read it, this poem is also my promise to Miss." ”

Miss Li nodded with a smile, and said, "The car is far away, and the horse is longing." Jun travels to the east and east of Shandong, and Ande flies to chase the west wind. ”

At this point, Miss Li said no more. Huo Siyuan knew that Miss Li wanted to let herself take the next sentence, so he said: "May I be like the stars and the moon, and I will be bright and clean every night." The moon is temporarily obscure, and the stars are always bright. Leave the light to wait for the month to return, and the three or five will be profitable. ”

Miss Li hummed and gave Huo Siyuan a warm smile in return.

Bai Sujin sat and watched the show for a long time, and thought to himself, the people hired by Zhao Nuan are really talented, these people have good acting skills, and they pretend to be quite like that. In this way, set a little difficulty for Huo Siyuan, and he will also feel that although Miss Li is from a merchant family, she is also a lady, and she can't see the flaws, which is more conducive to the next step.

After talking like this, Bai Sujin saw that the time was ripe, so he said: "It's not too early, Huo Gongzi, you have also met, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it in the future, and we will leave today." ”

Huo Siyuan also saluted and said goodbye. He naturally knew that even if Master Li agreed to this family affair in his heart, he couldn't say it in person, he had to ease up for two days, and ask the matchmaker to be a middle-aged person and make peace.

Thinking about it like this, Huo Siyuan was a little happy in his heart, as if he had really become Master Li's son-in-law, he seemed to see the scene of himself enjoying glory and wealth, marrying Miss Li, which can be regarded as a beauty and a career, and double happiness is coming.

Huo Siyuan never expected that he was falling into a well-planned trap, and what was waiting for him was not beauty and wealth and glory, but the fate of nothing.
