Chapter 208 Favorite
On the bank of the Qinhuai River, Wangjiang Tower.
Huo Bao and Shui Jin sat in the window private room on the second floor, looking at the Qinhuai River outside the window.
On the river, several prostitute boats with red lanterns were hung, and the faint sound of the piano was heard.
Huo Bao looked at it and couldn't help but admire these people.
Not to mention the change of Jinling's power, even if Daning really died immediately, it would not have much impact on them.
was delayed by the Hu family's lawsuit, and the two changed from lunch to dinner.
Shui Jin watched Huo Bao look carefully at the river, as if staring at a prostitute boat, and looked at Huo Bao thoughtfully.
Huo Bao looks thinner, but his stature is almost the same as half of adult men.
"Xiaobao has grown up?" Shui Jin asked tentatively.
Huo Bao turned around and said inexplicably: "I'm not a child anymore!" ”
"No, it's that!"
"Which one?"
"It's just getting up early every day......
"Which one is early?"
“……”
No matter how straightforward Shui Jin's temperament is, there is also a bit of twist at the moment.
Huo Bao couldn't laugh in his heart, and glanced under Shui Jin.
Shui Jin was amused when he saw this, and slapped Huo Bao: "Okay! I understand it in my heart, and I still pretend I don't understand! ”
Huo Bao rolled his eyes and said, "If you are full, you will overflow, and it is written in the book!" I'm full of weight, I'm here for a long time, but it's Brother Shui, or a boy man, I'm suffocating hard, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable! ”
Shui Jin waved his hand and said, "What's this!" After a long time, you get used to it! ”
Huo Bao couldn't help but look at the water into his right hand.
Needless to say, this is a "party of five sisters".
This time, the speechless water entered, frowned and looked at Huo Bao and said, "What kind of books are you reading?" Wouldn't it be something you shouldn't have seen? I'm going to ask Mr. Lin when I go back! ”
Huo Bao hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Shui still spared me!" I just glanced at it from the previous idle book. ”
It's all the basic knowledge of the previous life, and even a man knows it.
Shui Jin Zhengse said: "You are still young now, it is normal to be curious about the colors of men and women, but you can't worry about the prostitutes on the Qinhuai River...... When you are two years older, let the fifth master help you arrange two people......"
It's obviously a misunderstanding.
It was really Huo Bao who was a little obsessed with Wangjianglou's meal, and he couldn't do it at noon, and he came again at night, which made Shui Jin suspicious.
Where is the food in the Taiwei's mansion?
Now the person in charge of the back kitchen is still Master Guo, who came out with the army in Chuzhou, but there are also a few local cooks, and finding out the relationship does not hinder the continued use.
Huo Bao couldn't, so he had to tell the truth and said, "Brother Shui, don't worry about me, or worry about yourself, you're twenty-one, shouldn't you say kiss?" The tiger is only seventeen, and he will marry the foal next month. ”
When Shui Jin heard this, he was gloomy.
"Is this the one you're still thinking about?"
Shui Jin smiled bitterly: "Yin and yang, she got married in June!" ”
Huo Bao hesitated: "That's a love injury that is difficult to heal, and you want to wait two years before you kiss?" ”
Shui Jin snorted lightly: "What kind of emotional intelligence is not emotional intelligence, it's just a thought, if you miss it, you miss it." It's a mess ahead, it's not just that Cai'an was born. ”
"Then Brother Shui wants to go on a blind date?"
"Well, but I have to ask the fifth master what he means first."
Huo Bao didn't pretend to ask why Shui Jin's relatives had to ask his father.
Shui Jin is a person who is a beautiful person.
Knowing his current identity, there are too many involved, and getting married is not a matter of one person.
He wanted to choose a wife among the people designated by Huo Wu.
It's good to have this idea.
Huo Bao was weighing his words, and Shui Jin had already reacted with hindsight, with a little surprise: "The fifth master wants to tell me kiss?" ”
Huo Bao nodded and shook his head: "I have this meaning, but it doesn't mean that I directly call the shots for Brother Shui, it depends on what you mean...... It's Brother Shui, you marry, it must be in line with your heart...... Didn't Brother Shui marry a beautiful wife before volunteering in his life? Aren't you afraid that my father's candidate is ugly or ordinary? ”
As far as the aesthetics of water entering, I like to be white and fat, so Huo Chun is really a little unqualified.
Shui Jin was stunned for a moment, and whispered: "Is that the girl from Mrs. Hong's family?" ”
Hey?
Huo Bao was very surprised, and looked at Shui Jin: "You met the day before yesterday?" ”
Huo Hong's family came to Taiwei's Mansion the day before yesterday.
Shui Jin shook his head, and his face was very indescribable: "I heard the leopard mention it...... said that there is a family of aunts, and Young Master Rui is a dragon and phoenix twins......" Speaking of this, he paused, with a tangle, and said: "Is there too much difference in this year?" ”
Huo Bao couldn't help laughing: "The leopard didn't say it, he still has an aunt and grandmother to be in the boudoir?" ”
"Didn't say it!"
Shui Jin shook his head honestly: "It's just mentioning a few young masters of the Huo family and talking about it." ”
Huo Bao nodded.
Finally, Huo Bao still knows how to measure.
The elder is still a lady, and it is not for him to speak.
Shui Jin's eyes widened: "Leopard's aunt? That's not your aunt,...... Is it the same generation as the fifth master? ”
Huo Bao nodded: "Thirteen years old, delicate in appearance, and generous in personality." ”
Shui Jin couldn't sit still, and got up with a little excitement: "Fifth Master really wants to tell me?" ”
Huo Bao took a sip of tea and said: "Just thinking about it, it may not be you!" ”
"But isn't that a grade difference?"
Shui Jin was a little uneasy.
He is commensurate with the Huo Bao brothers, and if he really marries the aunt of the Huo Bao clan, he will become an uncle.
"Yes! So I guess I can't do it, I should still look at others......"
Huo Bao said casually.
"Where are the others?"
Shui Jin was anxious: "You can't say it to the eighth master and Feng Ye, right?" There is too much age difference, and the father and daughter have done it! ”
Huo Bao looked at Shui Jin curiously: "I haven't seen anyone yet, what are you excited about, Brother Shui?" ”
Shui Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you not be excited?" I'm alone, and if I marry the daughter of the Huo family, everyone will be relatives! ”
No matter how big his heart is, he has also thought about his identity in the Chuzhou army.
Huo Wu treats him like a nephew, but he is not surnamed Huo.
He and Huo Bao are like brothers, but the two did not worship, unlike Huo Wu and Ma Zhai, who are brothers.
Huo Hong's family, others don't know, Shui Jin is close to Niu Qing and Leopard, but he has heard a few words, he is a cultivator who reads his duty, and his family is an understanding person, and it is benevolent and kind to act as a family.
Huo Bao snorted lightly: "Isn't it to be happy to grow up?" ”
Shui Jin glanced at Huo Bao: "Which culprit is it?" It's good, I and Deng Ye are the same generation, so I let you pull down a generation...... It's so troublesome that I'm in front of a few heads, and I can only be regarded as a junior......"
This is also the drawback left by the Chuzhou army before, they are all acquaintances, for the elderly, in addition to the top and bottom, they also have to talk about seniority, and sometimes they have to take into account human feelings.
This is also the reason why Huo Wu invited the old monk to serve as the supervisor, instead of letting the leaders supervise.
Huo Bao was disgusted: "Brother Shui, don't rejoice too early, my father thought about it for a while, maybe Mrs. Hong doesn't look down on you!" You have a scruffy beard, you don't look much younger than Eighth Uncle and Feng Ye......"
Shui Jin touched his beard and said hesitantly: "Really old? ”
Huo Bao nodded: "It looks like it's almost the same as Uncle Cousin and Master Feng." ”
Shui Jin was reluctant: "Hey, it's half an inch!" ”
……
Taiwei Mansion.
Huo Wu left the leaders for dinner, and everyone discussed the marriage date of the foal and Huo Hu.
As for the fact that Yangzhou Shui Shi Dutong may have secretly invested in Qichun, everyone did not regard it as a big deal.
Even if you vote, what?
Qi Chun is thousands of miles away, and it is a fool's dream to want to take Yangzhou through the territory of the Chuzhou army.
Not to mention, now the imperial court has dispatched several defenders to encircle and suppress Qichun.
The small court of Qichun, whether it can hold on or not, is unknown.
Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
Yangzhou can only be the Chuzhou army.
"Please Mr. Lin choose a suitable day in October, it is not only a happy event for the foal, but also the first banquet for our Chuzhou army!" Huo Wudao.
Mr. Lin nodded and said: "Qichun, Bozhou, Taizhou, all send posts over, whether it is friend or foe, now is not the time to tear your face!" ”
Huo Bao looked at Monk Feng and said, "Brother Ling, do you need to send a post over?" ”
Monk Feng nodded: "If the fifth master sends someone to Yangzhou, just send one!" ”
This is also a test of Yangzhou's wealthy businessmen.
Ma Juzi was uncomfortable at first, but later understood that this was not only his marriage, but also the first appearance of the Chuzhou Army.
The notice stamped with the seal of the Taiwei Mansion before was the appearance of the Chuzhou Army in front of the people of Jinling.
The wedding celebration in October is an appearance of various forces outside Jinling.
When she was mentioned as a lifelong event, she was not shy, and hesitated: "Didn't the fifth uncle say rest and recuperate? Wouldn't it be too ostentatious? ”
Huo Wu shook his head and said: "I want to recuperate, but I also have to show my minions, and I can't let people be soft persimmons!" ”
The Bozhou army is in the north, the Qichun army is in the west, and the Taizhou army is in the southeast, and these three forces are only more than 100 miles close to the Chuzhou army, and the distance is also within 1000 miles.
Everyone always has to divide the territory, and the province doesn't wait for the court to be chaotic, and the whiteshirts from all walks of life will fight by themselves, which will be a joke.
Others are okay, but Deng Jian frowned and said: "In this way, it's not easy for us to attack them!" ”
Huo Wudao: "It's all temporary, just this piece of land in Jiangnan is enough for us to digest for a few days!" ”
The territory mentioned here is not only Jinling Mansion, but also the middle of Jinling Mansion to Taizhou, which is under the rule of the imperial court; To the west, too, between Jinling and Qichun, there are several state capitals under the rule of the imperial court.
Deng Jian's expression was relaxed, and he said: "Yangzhou is in front of you, it's better to win peace of mind as soon as possible!" ”
Huo Wu nodded and said: "It won't take long, it depends on whether Yangzhou eats soft or hard...... After the marriage, if the other side hasn't made up their minds, we'll take it for them! ”
In the final analysis, Huo Wu didn't want to have a hard time with Yangzhou.
Otherwise, both sides will lose, and it will not be beneficial to the Chuzhou army that has only just established itself in Jinling.
Master Lin looked at everyone present, except for Xue Biao, who was either a widower or a bachelor.
He smiled and said: "Lord Song, many people have inquired, what do the generals think, have they not thought about marriage?" ”
He is here, dozens of years older than everyone else, and it is not abrupt to talk about this.
At the beginning, there were so many people in Chuzhou who sent women to the Chuzhou army, not to mention the land of Jinling.
The marriage of the generals of the Chuzhou Army is closely related to the Chuzhou Army, and it is not a personal matter.
