Chapters 31-32
CHAPTER XXXI
The land south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice, is naturally a place of wealth and nobility. Being able to be an official in such a place is naturally a fat difference. Huo Zhifu is over fifty years old, and he still wants to climb up again, but this is not something that can be done with money. You've got to have someone. Don't look at the flattery of the people below all day long, Governor Huo is also very distressed! He has not moved the position of prefect for more than ten years. Of course, he was not only worried about his future, but also his unconscious son Huo Erdu.
Huo Ersil is the son of Huo Zhifu who has only been in his forties, and he is an only son, so the whole family spoils him to the limit. Especially Mrs. Huo, when the prefect Huo planned to educate her son, Mrs. Huo stood in front and then took Huo Erdu. Governor Huo knew that this would not work, but Mrs. Huo was his mother, and he said that he could not be scolded.
Huo Erdui is not really stupid, but sometimes he will do things that ordinary people can't do, and he is particularly easy to be encouraged by others. Over time, everyone forgot Huo Ersil's real name and called him Huo Ersil. After Huo Ersil found out, his nose was crooked, but he couldn't find out who started to scream, so he could only find someone to vent his anger, but his father knew about it and gave him a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.
Huo Ersil was popularized by his father, his mother, and even his grandmother, who could not be offended within his father's jurisdiction, and which people should be befriended. Huo Er stupidly listened to a few things, and barely knew something. However, for businessmen like the Lin family, they should also be friends with the prefect, Huo Ersil is very disdainful. When his father saw his bear-like appearance, he was furious.
"You know what! Yes?! The Lin family has a very good relationship with the local government in Jiangnan, and their reputation is well-known in Beijing. He is a well-known righteous businessman. There is more imperial grace, his family can enter the office, the Lin family is now Lord Lin, although it is not as powerful as your father and me, but it is a Beijing official. It is not the same as the magistrate. And Lin Dalang is good friends with the Guogong Mansion, the General's Mansion and other high-ranking families. No one in Jiangnan dares to touch the Lin family now. You look down on people, you don't have a brain. ”
Huo Ersil is most afraid of his father on weekdays, Huo Zhifu is better to reason with him, and when he doesn't reason, he goes directly to the board, and when he is angry, he will get what to smash, and he is not allowed to hide. Although, his grandmother will defend him, but there will always be times when it is not timely. Moreover, his grandmother didn't dare to be too harsh in order to protect his father's face. It can be said that Huo Er is stupid when he sees Huo Zhifu, that is, a mouse sees a cat.
"Daddy, if someone bullies your son, won't your son fight back?"
Speaking of this, Governor Huo was angry. "People are bullying you?! It's good that you don't take the initiative to cause trouble. How did the little boy of the Lin family beat you last time. I'm embarrassed to say it, I don't even have the face to mention it. Don't hang out with those pig friends and dog friends, and don't come back with some messy troubles. Remember? “
"Remember, Daddy!"
"Remember, don't get out of here! Looking for a fight! ”
Huo Ersil hurriedly rolled out.
Actually, you really can't blame Governor Huo for being so popular every day, it's really his son who is too unreliable, so he will have nothing to do. Then Governor Huo was busy wiping his son's buttocks. The dignified prefect is also a high-ranking official in the local area. But he can't stand the fact that he has a bad son who gets into trouble all day long. Sometimes, Huo Zhifu really wanted to give his son the result, but his Huo family was desperate. Huo Zhifu thought, as long as he had one more son, he would be able to do it. Sometimes, Huo Zhifu thinks that he is not mediocre, and he is also intelligent, how to give birth to a son and grow like this, Huo Zhifu is so worried that his hair has fallen out a lot.
Huo Ersil was bored by his father's boss, seeing that his father went to the yamen on business, he also went out, took three or five small guys, and not long after leaving, pig friends and dog friends gathered again.
As soon as Huo Ersil walked to the market, he heard someone shouting: "Huo Ersil is here-"
Brushing the floor –
At least half of the stalls in the market are missing, and more than half are too late to move.
is really Huo Ersil's great achievements too much, the most famous is the time when he robbed a woman from a good family. The whole city knows about this! The cause is this kind of drop.
One day, Huo Ersil walked on the road and saw a beautiful girl, the girl was as beautiful as spring flowers and autumn moon, but the clothes on her body were very simple, and she looked like a woman from an ordinary family. Huo Ersil was beaten by his father and also beat out some eyesight, so he knew that he could look at people and clothes. Huo Er was stupid when he saw that it was an ordinary woman, so he was unscrupulous. didn't say anything about it, but also did it. Naturally, the woman did not obey. Originally, it would have been okay to release people. But Huo Erdui was encouraged, he was a second fool, and he actually hijacked people and went home. However, when he returned home, he regretted it, and if his father knew about it, it would be miserable. So, he let people go again. He thought that was the end of it. Unexpectedly, within a few days, he was sued.
When a woman is robbed, no matter whether she is innocent or not, no one will believe that she is innocent. Fearful words are not empty words. That day, this girl was seen by Huo Erdu, who was robbed into the house by Huo Er. Come back and say that she is innocent, who will believe it! What kind of person is Huo Ersil, he is a drunkard and a stingy disciple who does not learn and has no skills. The girl also listened to the rumors for a few days, and she couldn't stand it, and she couldn't think about it, so she hanged herself. Although he was rescued, he still didn't eat or drink and wanted to see him short. She is an embroidery girl, her father broke her leg due to an accident, her mother couldn't do it because she worked too hard, and there is a little brother at home, so it can be said that the livelihood of the family is on her shoulders. That day, she didn't go outside to find some colored threads to sew clothes for her parents and younger brother.
This girl's parents are honest, but they are also very childlike. Seeing that his daughter suffered such an insult, he simply turned his heart sideways, carried his dying daughter to the official mansion, and beat the drum to sound his grievances.
The magistrate is really worried about this matter, and he accepted it, so the matter is naturally postponed. The defendant Huo Ersil has not yet arrived in the case! The magistrate went to the prefect's mansion in casual clothes, and Huo Zhifu knew about it, so he slipped Huo Er out and asked, naturally he understood everything. If this kind of thing is taken advantage of by someone with a heart, let alone being promoted and making a fortune, it is a question whether the current official position can be kept. Of course, it's easy to press down. Huo Zhifu likes to do things without leakage. He met the family privately and talked for a long time, and the girl tearfully agreed. Huo Zhifu's method is very simple, his son has a main room, so the girl can only be a concubine, but the monthly case is doubled. And the girl's parents and her younger brother will be taken care of by Huo Fu. The girl didn't want to die, but it was difficult for her to marry a good family again, and Huo Zhifu agreed to pay for her younger brother's education. Even for the sake of her parents and younger brother, she has to agree. So, that's it, Huo Er has an extra concubine in his backyard.
Needless to say, Huo Er was taught a hard lesson by his father, and this time, his grandmother was not on his side. He was also honest for a while. The girl was also carried into the house in a sedan chair. He thought, isn't it just a concubine, just raise it, and the master doesn't lack this little money.
When Huo Er was the boss was bored, he was poked by an elbow next to him, and he was about to scold, but when he looked up, he lost his soul.
Good boy! Someone can be so good-looking!
CHAPTER XXXII
There are no people in this city who don't know Huo Ersilly, and Huo Ersil loves to drill into a woman's bed when he gets money. In the past few days, I heard that there are new colors in the fragrance courtyard, but it will take a few days. You know, brothels in this era are also very publicity-oriented. It is necessary to whet people's appetites, so that the one with the highest price will be able to get it, and the brothel is also a business, and it is also necessary to tax the local government, so it is natural to attract more rich people to spend money. It's better to spend a lot of money or something.
Huo Ersil is a man and woman who eats everything, he can't see the young lady in the inner courtyard of the high wall, and he has been tired of the small restaurant recently, some time ago he fell in love with a talented scholar, who looks very good, and has a very good appetite, but unfortunately he hasn't done it yet, somehow his father knew about it, and directly gave him a meal with a stick, causing him to lie in bed for half a month, which is not counted, his father directly cut off his silver money for three months. If it weren't for his grandmother and his wife to secretly stuff it, he wouldn't have been able to put on a show on the street.
Huo Ersil naturally didn't dare to trouble the scholar, and the dog leg had also been analyzed for him, that Xiucai also had an identity, and it seemed that there was a Confucian teacher, Huo Ersilly thought, it's so difficult, then forget it.
Actually, Huo Ersil held his breath today, and he went to the street to find someone to vent his anger. Two days ago, he went to the restaurant for dinner, but he happened to meet Lin Jinyan. Lin Jinyan's appearance, that is a recognized beautiful man in this place, but no one dares to mess with him. First, it is because the reputation of the Lin family is too good. Second, because Lin Jinyan himself is too powerful, and he is completely ruthless when he provokes him. There was once an eyeless flower thief who ran to Lin Jinyan, but he was captured alive by Lin Jinyan, and he was cut into a eunuch, this is not the end, Lin Jinyan beat him into a pig's head, stripped his clothes, tied him up and threw it at the door of the county government. It was a bargain for the county officials to add to their political achievements. is so ferocious, whoever wants to provoke him has to weigh the force value and consequences. Huo Ersil actually hasn't done anything yet, he just unconsciously looked at Lin Jinyan twice, it would be fine if he left ordinary people aside, but Huo Ersil is a person with a criminal record. When I didn't know Lin Jinyan before, I made a mockery of Lin Jinyan and was beaten by Lin Jinyan. Now, even if he really has nothing, he can't stand what people think he has, as a result, Huo Ersil was beaten again, this time he was beaten by a sack, and he was injured in an invisible place, he went home and complained to his father, but his father instead reprimanded him, Huo Ersil felt that he was very wronged. The more I think about it, the more angry I get.
Huo Ersil, who was extremely annoyed, was in no bad mood when he looked up and saw the beauty, and then, his whole face was smiling brightly, which made people unbearable to look at it directly.
On Li Shaoqing's left is the senior brother Zheng Lanling, and on the right is the guard Ye Lingfeng. The agreed time between Ye Lingfeng and the Guogong Mansion had arrived, but Ye Lingfeng didn't feel that he had a better place to go, so he didn't mention going to stay, and Li Shaoqing, who had Ye Lingfeng's body deed, naturally didn't mention it. He has always believed that those who are faithful will recognize you as the Lord, and those who have no heart will not stay. Just go with the flow.
The three of them rarely go shopping, and it's rare to go shopping, and they think it's quite interesting. Li Shaoqing felt that it was difficult for him to come out, and he had to bring some souvenirs to all the brothers and sisters who had a good relationship, as well as the elders of Guanzhong, the master, the master, and the uncle. Etiquette is light! Li Shaoqing has never taken face too seriously. Therefore, along the way, he had to taste any snacks, even gadgets, such as rock sugar gourds, he nibbled on a bunch. Ye Lingfeng was also instigated to follow and gnaw on a bunch, it was so sour, it was really a bite of sour teeth. Li Shaoqing said: This is the taste! Zheng Lanling shook his head with a smile on the side. He likes the little junior brother very much, he is good-looking, has a sweet mouth, is also smart, and more importantly, he is straightforward enough.
Li Shaoqing was about to go boating, but a group of people appeared in front of him, and Li Shaoqing was unhappy when he saw those people staring at him. Usually if he is unhappy, someone will be unlucky.
"Boss, this little master is really good-looking. Better looking than that Oiran lady. ”
"I've never seen anything so stunning!"
"Boss, what are we going to do?"
"Naturally, let Huo Gongzi go first!"
"Yes!"
Several people spoke in a very low voice, but the three people on the other side heard it. Zheng Lanling put away his smile, it seemed that someone was going to trouble his junior brother. As a senior brother, it is my duty to protect my junior brother. Ye Lingfeng was waiting for Li Shaoqing's orders. Over the years, he has become accustomed to following Li Shaoqing's instructions to do things. Speaking of which, this is still cultivated in the Famous Sword Villa.
Before Li Shaoqing could speak, Huo Er stupidly reported to his home, and Li Shaoqing almost burst into laughter. There is actually this kind of two stupid, he said this inexplicably overlapped with the stupid figure who said that my father was Li Gang.
Huo Er was stupid when he saw the beautiful young man opposite actually laughing when he heard what he was talking about, and he smiled so good-looking, he was inexplicably drunk.
The little beautiful man is so good-looking! If only you could touch it!
Of course, Huo Er was stupid and wanted to think about it, and he didn't say it stupidly. However, Li Shaoqing looked at him like that and knew what he was thinking. Li Shaoqing is not a pure little white rabbit who does not understand the world.
"I don't know what the little boy is called?"
"Under the surname Li." This person is so stupid, he doesn't lie about it, how embarrassed to leave. Although Li Shaoqing is determined to be a gentleman, he doesn't want to be a gentleman without taste, and he can't bear it if he doesn't refuse to come. And his vision is extremely high, and he can't get into the eyes at all. His master Xuan Zhenzi felt that it would be very difficult for him to find a partner in the future, even if he was in a hurry to marry, ordinary people would not dare to marry. This good and evil labor and temper are big enough, marry back and do nothing, when the ancestors offer up! Therefore, occasionally his master Xuan Zhenzi is quite worried about him. However, that's also three minutes of heat.
"Gongzi Li, I think we are very fateful, why don't I invite you to dinner?" Push to the first step, feed first.
"It's a little late now, why don't you drink tea and go boating?"
"That's good!" Lonely men and widows, boating on the water, call the sky should not be, call the earth and the earth not spiritual, the timing is not too good!
"Where is the best tea and pastry in this realm?"
When Huo Er heard this, he hurriedly turned his head and asked, those pig friends and dog friends have no other skills, these are all experts, and they immediately reported their names. Li Shaoqing said a good word.
Everyone was about to go to the destination noisily, and Li Shaoqing said again: "Could it be that Huo Gongzi is used to boating with a group of people?" That's good! ”
Huo Ersil hurriedly said, "Naturally not." Then, he hurriedly motioned for everyone to disperse with his eyes.
Pig friends naturally knew what he meant, so they naturally didn't bother, and they all walked away, leaving two little guys waiting on the side.
"Li Gongzi, please!"
Zheng Lanling and Ye Lingfeng were still protecting Li Shaoqing left and right, and Huo Ersil felt that these two people were too eyeless.
went to the teahouse, Li Shaoqing disliked too many people, and asked Zheng Lanling and Ye Lingfeng to order tea and pack it, and the boss saw that Huo Er was stupid and rushed to please others, and immediately took out all the treasures of the town store, and Li Shaoqing reluctantly accepted it. Zheng Lanling and Ye Lingfeng looked at each other, not knowing what medicine Li Shaoqing was selling in the gourd, but they didn't squeak.
Out of the teahouse, Li Shaoqing asked, "I don't know where the female relatives of Huo Gongzi's family like pastries." ”
Huo Er said stupidly, and Li Shaoqing said to go there. When he arrived at the pastry shop, Li Shaoqing asked Huo Ersil and answered, and then, out of the pastry shop, Huo Ersil's two little guys each carried a food box in their hands.
Then, everyone went to the jewelry shop again, and compared with the appearance and habits of the Huo family's daughters described by Huo Ersil, Li Shaoqing chose a few pieces of jewelry, of course, the money was still paid by Huo Ersilly. The little guy on the side had an extremely ugly face, and if this Li Gongzi went any further, they wouldn't be able to take out the money. This casually wandered around, and a few hundred taels of silver were gone.
"Okay, after a long time of shopping, it's time to get down to business."
When the little guy heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Huo Er was stupid when he heard it, and he was happy.
"I don't know how to get to Huo Mansion?"
"Huh?!"
"Since Huo Gongzi is warmly invited, I don't want to pay a visit."
Yes?!
What kind of god development is this?! What about the lonely man and the widow who said it was boating on the lake?!。
