Chapter 3: The Seal is Gone!
On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the new year had just passed, and Xiao Zhen came to visit Ning Anhou.
Wen Ningzhi, who had just recovered from a long illness, received him warmly, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a long time, and Wen Hongxuan and Shui Shiqiao made compensation on the side. In the end, Xiao Zhen took out a lot of expensive and rare gifts, showing his unusual respect for the "father-in-law". Wen Ningzhi was very happy, and his pale face was bloody. Before, he accepted Liuli as a righteous daughter just to follow the trend, but he didn't expect to get benefits now, and he looked forward to the future.
However, everyone knew that Xiao Zhen came to see his fiancée, Wen Ningzhi simply didn't even leave food, so he asked Xiao Zhen to take care of himself, and said that it was best to treat the Hou Mansion as his own palace. He was very considerate in his actions, but in fact it was only because he was slamming the door. When the prince arrives, the level of the banquet cannot be low, but at the end of the year, it is better not to waste it.
He has other worries, so he has been in bad health, but he is not pretending. Just because Han Qiao told him a few days ago that the family's silver has been in deficit, and if he wants to spend the New Year in a prosperous and prosperous way, he is afraid that he will be stretched. During the Chinese New Year, there are still personal contacts, as well as New Year's gifts for bosses and colleagues, and the family really can't afford it.
At that time, he waved his hand, "Just do it according to the same door, don't worry about the silver." ”
He dared to be so generous because he got the news before that Huo Qijian was dead!
The old dog cooperated with that one back then, a pack of sweat medicine, and a fire extinguished the Huo family. Cause...... Just because his only son was taken to the battlefield by Red Lotus's father, but he couldn't protect it and died in the arrows. He is extremely humble on the surface, but he has long hated the person surnamed Huo in his heart. In fact, the swords and guns have no eyes, and the bones are dry when they succeed, and the people who go to the battlefield originally pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, since they want to exchange their military merits for glory and wealth, who can complain about life and death? Even he didn't study hard since he was three years old, and he didn't take out his conscience and feed it to the dogs. Can you have today's glory?
Huo Laogou was just angry, forgetting all the care and preferential treatment that the Huo family had given him for many years. That old dog himself is a remnant soldier who came down from the battlefield, if there was no Huo family, he would have starved to death, and he could still sit in the position of the Huo family's big butler? Can you live a better life than the average rich man? I can't wait for him to give birth to a son! This kind of person, Shengmien, Doumien, should be good to him, but if you don't pay attention to it, he will hate you. Count all the misfortunes on your head.
Therefore, if it is said that the person who has blood on his hands and is ungrateful, he will never be in his turn. The Huo family has a pack of wolves! The Huo family guarded the real dragon who would fight back! Sometimes when he thinks about it, he is afraid that he will die and go to hell in the future, but when he thinks of so many people accompanying him on the Huangquan Road, he is also down-to-earth.
However, Huo Qijian is old and fine, plus the white-haired people send the black-haired people, and there are no other children and nephews around him. and he became especially greedy for money. There are conditions for him to be a traitor, that is, he goes to Beijing incognito, and all the dowry industries of Honglian are under his control, and only a part of the interest is given to the Hou Mansion of Ning'an every year. Say it's in charge. In fact, the old dog swallowed it by himself. It's just because the dowry is a property on the surface, and the amount is still huge, so there is no way to give it to others.
At that time, he couldn't help but give his head down. The first is that he did not dare to disobey the will of the other, and the second is that he could not have taken those inheritances for himself. Those who are in charge of running the dowry industry only recognize Honglian herself. Or her special seal. After Honglian's death, he "painfully" sorted out what Honglian left behind, in fact, he rummaged through the seal, but found nothing. Unexpectedly, the letter was not brought to Tokyo at all, but stayed in the old house of the Huo family in the northwest, but Huo Qijian found it.
This is the real reason why he can't touch the red lotus dowry, that is, it is not because of the loss of his beloved wife as rumored by the outside world. It's not what those aunts in the house think, it's to sink for a few years and maintain their reputation.
But...... He can see it, but he really can't touch it.
But despite this, he also arranged his own people around Huo Qijian to facilitate close surveillance. In fact, he took back the management of the Red Lotus's dowry and found the seal of the faith. It's just that I'm going to have eyebrows, and the dark line comes to report: Huo Qijian is dead.
This is a great thing for him, but he is suspicious by nature, afraid that there is an unknown secret, and deliberately found a friend to investigate carefully, and finally determined that the old dog had no contact with strangers before and after his death, and died of a sudden heart attack, and died of drinking at home, but died very happily.
He was glad he was, for the greatest obstacle to attaining that great fortune had fallen. As soon as he found the seal, a large sum of silver would flow into his purse like flowing water. That's why he made a bold statement to Han Qiao to spend money casually.
What he didn't expect was that news came from his dark line: the seal letter was gone.
The seal is missing? The seal is gone! How could it be gone! His people have already found out where the seal letter is, but Huo Qijian can't steal it because he can't steal it. When his people were finally able to generously pack up the "relics" and were about to find the seal. The seal is gone!
Since the old dog died a normal death, it is unlikely that the seal letter was stolen. So, did the old dog hide the seal somewhere else?
He could have taken his time, but he had spoken before, and Han Qiao had hollowed out his home in order to spend the New Year. So, he couldn't get any more money! With such a shabby New Year, the Ning'an Hou Mansion will become the laughing stock of the whole of Tokyo. In his life, what he loves most is not others, nor himself, but face, fame and wealth. If these three things are lost together, he will definitely not be able to stand it!
What's worse is that Yingxuan needs a lot of silver to see a doctor, and Hanqiao cries with him every day. He was very annoyed, and sometimes even thought that it would be better if Yingxuan died directly at that time, so that he would not be like a debt collector at this time.
So he became more and more sick, but fortunately, there was no endless road in heaven. Now the future godson-in-law has sent a lot of things, even if he still can't fill his hole, even if he dumps things out in private, there is a danger of being discovered, at least he has solved the urgent need, so he can take the lead for a while.
As long as you find the seal as soon as possible......
At this time, Xiao Zhen went to find Liuli, and Shui Shiqiao followed. In the room, only Wen's father and son remained.
Wen Ningzhi stood up, slowly paced to the side of those boxes, and slowly looked through them one by one, all of them were colored silk, silk, gold, gold paint and other things. He changed his mind in his heart and waited for his son to speak, but Wen Hongxuan was holding a pair of palm-sized gold lacquer objects. As a last resort, he coughed.
"Father, is your throat uncomfortable?" Wen Hongxuan asked with "concern".
Wen Ning's heart was annoyed, but his face was not revealed. His son was too clever to be like a father and son, but like an adversary. There are many things in the family that others don't know, but Hongxuan must understand it very well. But in the end, they are biological father and son, both surnamed Wen, to some extent, whether Hongxuan wants to or not, the two are accomplices.
"Hongxuan, do you know the situation at home......" Wen Ningzhi pondered the words.
"Actually, why should my father?" Wen Hongxuan's lips had a smile on his lips, but there was a strong irony on the face of the doll that looked harmless to humans and animals, "Father's words and son's paintings are hard to change, as long as the son opens a calligraphy and painting shop, ......"
"Don't insult Sven!" Wen Ningzhi interrupted his son.
Wen Hongxuan's sneer was still on his face, but he didn't say a word, packed up a few rare things with gold paint, and walked away. Insulting Sven? The things my father did can be regarded as scum, what else is Sven talking about here? It's just hypocrisy. Hypocrisy disgusted him. Even the things in the sale have to be used in the name of his madness! But what can be done, who gave him the surname Wen, and who let people be raised by their parents, so they can't choose? So sometimes, he really wants to be a pure bad guy, at least really enough.
Walking out with things, when passing by the garden, I saw Liuli, Xiao Zhen and Shui Shi Qiao walking over slowly, and immediately dodged behind the rockery and hid. Although it was a lunar day, there was no wind, and the sun was good, so the three of them actually came for a walk.
Wen Hongxuan couldn't help but squint his eyes, because he had never seen a young lady who liked the outdoors like Liuli. If others have white and tender skin like hers, they are absolutely reluctant to get sunburned. Therefore, Liuli has a kind of energy that doesn't care about her appearance and doesn't care about men, and at the same time she is strong and independent. These temperaments are rare and very eye-catching, and I heard that even Xiao Shiyi was confused.
Moreover, he always felt that the atmosphere between the three people in front of him was strange. Shuishi Qiao is not a dull person, with a rough appearance, but he is very eye-catching, the two fiancés reunite after a long absence, walk and chat together, which is a common thing in Tokyo, what is his eldest brother in the middle? In addition, in his opinion, the brother-sister relationship between Shuishi Qiao and Liuli seems to be ...... A little too deep. He had quickly become interested in Ruri in the past, but quickly discarded it. Now that I think about it, isn't it too sloppy?
Liuli and the other three didn't notice Wen Hongxuan, they just walked slowly, talking without a match. Because her brother and fiancé were by her side, Liuli only brought Yiqiu a girl. Yiqiu silently followed behind, looking at the situation of the three people in front of him, thinking about what a few of them said in private, and frowned slightly: Miss smiled too much at the helper, but too little at His Royal Highness King Jin.
"It's a nice day." After shopping for a long time, there was really no topic, and Shui Shi Qiao reluctantly talked about the weather.
"I don't know if there's a polo match, but I haven't seen it in a long time." Ruri answered.
"There will be a few after the year, and when the time comes, Liuli will definitely come to cheer me on." Xiao Zhen stopped, turned his face sideways and smiled at Liuli, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, the gift I gave you was sent to your yard alone." Anyway, I picked it carefully, you won't even care about the tea. After walking for a long time, I was very thirsty. ”
He said so, and Liuli immediately asked him to return to Mo Yuxuan. Shui Shi Qiao followed cheekily for a long time, and at this time there was really no excuse to go back together, so he could only reluctantly let the two of them leave.
