Chapter 17: Fox Fake Tiger Intrigue and Intrigue
Wang Mang and the others came to the hall and waved their hands to the people on both sides, "You all go down first, no one can come in and disturb without my orders." ”
"Yes, young master!"
The little guy who was standing on the side retreated in turn and went out of the courtyard.
After all these little guys left, he said lightly: "Okay, Huo Yan, what can you say now." ”
Huo Yan put the silver tael he brought on the table, opened the canvas, and revealed five ingots of silver. One hundred taels per ingot, exactly five hundred taels, "This is five hundred taels of ransom silver, please look at it." ”
Wang Mang took the silver taels, put them in his hand and turned them upside down, and said with a smile: "In the mountains, it pays attention to paying money with one hand and letting people go with the other." I'm also a Sven person, and I never do such a conscience thing as tearing up tickets. Since you ransom a lot of money, then I will also order someone to release your Huo family according to the preface....."
"No hurry, no hurry!"
Huo Yan was extremely disdainful of Wang Mang's sentence of Sven, almost didn't make him angry, quickly interrupted Wang Mang's words, and said with a smile: "This time, it is a matter to pay the ransom silver, I have another important matter to discuss with you, please wait for a while, I ask the person who is discussing it with you." ”
After that, he turned around and walked out of the hall, came to another palanquin in the courtyard, and whispered a few words.
Huo Jianghai, the patriarch of the Huo family who stayed in the sedan chair, heard the situation and walked out slowly, full of majesty.
The tiger swept his eyes, and saw that there were no other idlers in the courtyard, so he nodded secretly.
Strode to the hall and sat down directly opposite Wang Mang.
And that Huo Yan stood aside and didn't dare to sit down.
Wang Mang didn't know this person, he was a little puzzled, and looked at Shangguan Ning Xuan with an inquiring look.
Shangguan Ningxuan saw this person coming, her eyebrows condensed, and she said in a deep voice: "Patriarch Huo, I don't know why you are here this time?" If it's for the sake of ransom, you don't have to come in person, right? ”
"Hehe, you are Shangguan Ning Xuan of the Shangguan family, right?"
Huo Jianghai smiled faintly, as if looking at the outstanding descendants of his family, with a kind face, "Shangguan girl, you don't have to be nervous." I am here this time to meet your brother-in-law Wang Mang, and by the way, I will discuss some things with your mother, Mrs. Wang. ”
"Discuss something with your mother?"
Shangguan Ningxuan didn't know what medicine was sold in this person's gourd, and her face was still very solemn.
The head of the Huo family, this kind of character is not a small person, but a real big man. If you stomp your feet casually, the world will tremble three times, and the emperor will not dare to speak up.
"Little brother-in-law, you go to your mother's side and invite your mother." Shangguan Ningxuan said.
"Hmm!"
Wang Mang didn't dare to be careless, and secretly thought: The leaders of the other party's family are here, which means that the things he wants to discuss must be not small.
When the next step was three steps, he quickly ran to Xue Fengyi's house.
Huo Jianghai's eyes kept falling on Wang Mang, and when he saw that Wang Mang's face was ruddy and full of energy, his heart was even more energetic. confirmed his conjecture even more, and the people of Tianyang Valley came out of the mountain.
Wang Mang came to Xue Fengyi's room and explained the situation.
Xue Fengyi was stunned for a while when she heard this, she was very shocked, and she was silent in thought, unable to figure out what big thing Huo Jianghai wanted to see her.
After thinking about it for a while, he came to the hall with Wang Mang.
When Huo Jianghai saw Xue Fengyi come out, he immediately got up, put down the patriarch's shelf, hugged his fists and bowed down slightly to her, and said with an apologetic face: "Mrs. Wang, this time my Huo family is reckless and rude, and I hurt you, this is my Huo family's lack of discipline." Today, on behalf of the Huo family, I came to apologize to Mrs. for my sins, and I hope Mrs. will forgive me! ”
As soon as the words fell, he slapped his hands three times outside the door.
Not long after, a Huo family servant walked in with a package. Without saying a word, he placed the package in his hand on the table, and then stepped back again.
Huo Jianghai opened the package, revealing five ingots of silver, still five hundred taels, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wang, these silver patterns are my Huo family's apologies, and I hope Mrs. will accept them!" ”
"This..."
Xue Fengyi was stunned for a moment, puzzled, she didn't know how this famous Huo Jianghai became so modest and easy to speak, and she was very puzzled in her heart.
In her opinion, Huo Jianghai is really an old fox, not to mention his calculations, and he is also very good-looking, and he never goes out easily.
This time, he was able to come to the door in person to apologize, and suddenly felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed, and there must be other famous names among them.
Not only her, but Shangguan Ningxuan and Wang Mang were also stunned for a while, not knowing what calculations this old guy Huo Jianghai had.
Xue Fengyi is also a well-informed person, and immediately returned to normal after being stunned.
He didn't show his face at the moment, and replied lightly: "Patriarch Huo, since this is your kindness, then I will accept it." ”
Huo Jianghai saw that she readily accepted the silver tael, and his heart was overjoyed, and he sat down again.
"Mrs. Wang, I have heard the name of your son Wang Mang, but I have never seen it. When I saw it today, it was really a dragon and phoenix of people, and I was full of courage.
At a young age, he has the demeanor of a filial brother, which shows that he will definitely make great achievements in the future. Thinking about my Huo family, although the family is big, the industry is big, and there are many people, but I can't find a decent talent, which has to say that my Huo family has no way to educate people..."
"Where, Patriarch Huo, you are serious about what you say." Xue Fengyi hated iron and steel, and seemed to have a headache, "Don't say that your Huo family is full of talents, just say that I am reckless and ignorant, and he doesn't listen to my lessons, and he is very rebellious."
This time, he didn't know the height of the sky, and he actually did such a stupid thing, but I couldn't discipline him. If his father had been alive, he would have been beaten to death long ago. lest they insult their ancestors and their descendants. ”
Just now, I was trying to teach him a good lesson, so as not to lose my life in the future because of empty eyes, but Patriarch Huo, you came here in person. ”
"Hehe, Mrs. Wang is modest, modest." Huo Jianghai said: "Although he was a little reckless in that matter, Madame just think about it. Nowadays, there are many descendants of the family, and a few of them have the courage of him..."
At the moment, the two of them didn't say a word, and they were polite to each other for more than ten or twenty minutes, talking about some unnutritious topics. And the head of the talk is the Tao, laughter. Hearing this, Wang Mang and Shangguan Ningxuan rolled their eyes vigorously, wondering if this Huo family patriarch was stupid? Something might be wrong with the head.
In fact, while Xue Fengyi was greeting, she was also puzzled, but it was not easy to ask directly. I had to continue to greet each other, testing what the other party was calculating.
I talked for more than ten minutes, and I said big and small things over and over again.
At the end, Huo Jianghai said: "Mrs. Wang, I have heard that your son Wang Mang suffered from a minor illness when he was young, and he relapsed from time to time. But when I saw him now, I saw that he was full of energy, and he didn't see the slightest problem.
I wonder if this rumor is false? Or do you have a solution, ma'am? I also have a grandson who has been in poor health, if my wife has a good solution, can you tell me? I'll take it back so I can give it to my grandson. lest he die early due to illness, and the white-haired man will send the black-haired man. ”
"Huh?"
When Xue Fengyi heard this, her heart was suddenly shocked, and her thoughts suddenly brightened.
After thinking about it for a while, it was expected that the other party was in a high position and well-informed, and he must have known that he was seriously ill.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Huo Jianghai a few more times and guessed a few eyebrows.
Slightly straightened his mind, and said with a smile with a hint of unfathomable expression: "Master Huo, I won't tell you anything, my Mang'er was indeed seriously ill before, and he didn't heal for a long time, and he was often in danger. About two months ago, an old man came to visit, saying that it was my deceased husband's friend who had forgotten his old age. He took a look at my mang'er and prescribed a few prescriptions.
Strange to say, it didn't have any effect at first, but when I took the last dose of medicine yesterday, my old illness was completely eliminated and I recovered as before. I don't know what the cure is. I have asked many people about the things that the old man opened, but I don't know what to say. ”
"Oh? Is there such a miracle doctor in the world? ”
Huo Jianghai's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Wang, I don't know what the old man's name is?" Which immortal mountain to live in to refine medicine? ”
"I don't know his name, or which mountain he lives in. When the old man left, he said that if he was free, he would come to visit again. Master Huo, if the old man comes next time, I will definitely inform you. Xue Fengyi replied.
"I see, that's right, the master has always seen the head of the dragon but not the tail, and the fairy face is rare to see."
Huo Jianghai sighed and said, "Mrs. Wang, I have been thinking deeply for a long time after listening to the report on yesterday's incident. My Huo family didn't know the situation at the time, and I had a conflict with you, which can be said to be a misunderstanding.
However, the Sun family, the Yang family, the Zhang family and others, knowing your identity, still ordered the guards to be ruthless, and acted in disregard of the rules, which shows their sinister intentions.
We must guard against such dangerous families, and we may not be able to prevent them from messing around in the future. Therefore, I think the two of us can join forces for the time being, teach them a lesson, and cut off the root cause. lest our two descendants suffer in vain in the future, I don't know what Mrs. wants? ”
When Xue Fengyi heard this, her heart moved, and she opened her eyes and said: "I can't do this thing, Huo family master, if you have this idea, you can discuss it with my Wang family master."
Of course, the descendants of those families are lawless and disrespectful, although I can't help it, but I think that the old man will definitely not turn a blind eye. If what I expected was true, if the old man heard that my reckless son was in such danger, he would definitely stand up for my mother and son and keep my family safe. After all, when he left, he also regarded my mang'er as a righteous grandson. ”
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll discuss it with your Wang family master." Huo Jianghai got up and said.
Xue Fengyi also stood up and said with a smile: "Huo family master, when you see my Wang family master, don't say anything about the old man." He doesn't like to be busy, and he doesn't like people looking for trouble. ”
"Definitely, definitely. Madame Wang, sit down in peace, and I will take my leave. "Huojiang Haidao.
"Please go by yourself, and you will not be sent far. Also, thank you to the head of the Huo family for visiting. Xue Fengyi said with a smile.
Huo Jianghai chuckled, took a deep look at Wang Mang and Xue Fengyi, and led Huo Yan towards the direction of the head of the Wang family.
"Hehe, it's really a suspicious old fox, and I wonder how he can come to the door so casually and disregardingly. It turned out that he was a person who was afraid of Tianyang Valley and came to explore the wind in person. ”
Seeing Huo Jianghai and the others walking away, Xue Fengyi suddenly sneered.
At the beginning, she also calculated that there would be great changes in the near future, and the four major families would definitely not give up. Now I didn't expect the other party to think of a fork in the road, and I couldn't help but laugh.
