Chapter 67 How can Jin Er go to that kind of place?!
"Brother Huang, it's time for us to go......"
Zhao Yun looked at the imperial brother's stunned appearance, and couldn't help but remind him loudly.
"Sister Yun, all the royal brothers have drunk too much, just let me be with them, otherwise I really don't feel at ease......"
Zhao Zheng looked upstairs with a worried and envious face, the lights were bright, the beauty was like a crisp, and the laughter was endless......
At this moment, his legs seemed to be firmly welded in place, but he couldn't move at all!
"Brother Huang, the shopkeeper just now said that he would take care of the royal brothers, let's go back to the palace immediately!"
Zhao Yun said and pulled the imperial brother, but found that the lines did not move, and couldn't help but pull it up in a hurry!
"Brother Huang! Come with me! ”
Zhao Zheng still wanted to struggle, but he didn't expect that he was cheating and playing tricks on weekdays, and he was too lazy to temper his body, and his strength was not as good as that of Yun Mei and a woman!
At that moment, he was forcibly dragged away by Zhao Yun, he was powerless to look at the drunken incense building that was gradually moving away, and howled miserably like a gray wolf in his heart!
'I'm Zhao Zheng...... Will be back!! ’

Xijing City Huo Mansion
At the beginning of the day, it was the time for the Huo clan to get up early to eat.
In order to spur the younger generations and prevent them from slacking off and losing their minds because they were born in a wealthy family, the Huo family rule is that every day breakfast, all the clansmen must be present before they can eat.
In this way, no matter how young or young the children of the Huo family are, they must get up early every day to eat, and it is impossible for them to be lazy in bed.
After all, the plan of the day lies in the morning, laziness and absurdity, and the waste of family business, first of all, it starts with irregular work and rest, gluttony and sleepiness.
"Huh? It's the time of the hour...... Where's the gold? ”
Huo Zhe, who was sitting in the main seat, swept around, but at a glance, he was caught by the only vacant seat, and suddenly frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice.
"This ......"
Hawking's biological mother, Chunxiang, hesitated suddenly, but she also opened her mouth for a while, not knowing how to explain.
"Master~ I seem to have heard that Jin Er didn't return last night......"
Suddenly, a coquettish laughter sounded on the other side, as if unintentionally, but it made Huo Zhi frown.
Chunxiang suddenly glanced over, looking at the yin and yang weird lady Lu Cha, her heart was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
After all, Jin Er did not return last night, and he was even mysterious, and even he didn't know where he went!
"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”
Huo Zhi looked at his favorite concubine Chunxiang at the moment and asked if there was such a thing?
After all, Jin Er has always been sensible and well-behaved, and there has never been such a precedent, and it is even more unheard of to have such a move of not returning overnight!
"This ...... Jin Er did not return overnight, but according to the concubine's body, Jin Er left in a very hurry last night, and brought a lot of silver with him, so he must have something urgent to ......
Haruka reluctantly explained, not wanting to cause some bad effects on Jin'er.
"Oh? That's kind of weird......"
Huo Zhi's frowning brows were slightly soothed when he heard this, but he still couldn't understand that Jin Er was still young, and he went out in a hurry at night, and he didn't return all night, and he brought a lot of silver......
Although he was puzzled, Huo Zhi remembered that Jin Er was usually sensible and well-behaved, so he didn't worry too much, so he immediately nodded and spoke.
"In that case, let's eat first."
Seeing that this matter was gently put down, the rest of the people were fine, but the eldest lady Lu Cha chuckled, but she followed closely and reluctantly.
"Huh? But how did I hear that...... Jin Er seems to have gone to that drunk, drunken incense building last night? ”
"Mother!"
Huo Yin was suddenly in a hurry, but he didn't expect his casual words to be said by his mother in public!
Brother, it is precisely because he believes in himself that he mentioned the incident of going to Zuixianglou with the Nine Emperor Princes last night, but his mother did this, but how did he have the face to face his brother again? !
"What? Drunken Fragrance Building?? ”
Everyone was shocked, and then there was a lot of discussion, obviously for the most famous gold cave in the Xijing City.
"This ......"
Chunxiang's face changed immediately, but she never thought that her Jin Er would go to that kind of place!
No wonder, no wonder he left in such a hurry, and rarely brought so much silver......
'Jin'er'...... How can you go to that kind of place?! ’
Chunxiang was anxious in her heart, but she had no appetite at all, so she had to put down her chopsticks and couldn't help but feel sad.
Is this kid really bad at learning......
"That's it! When Jin Er returns home, let him come to my study. ”
Huo Zhi suddenly spoke, and even though Chunxiang's heart trembled, he could only respond softly.
"Yes, sir......"
……
"Big brother, what do you think this should be? The new county guard of Huangyang County was appointed, but our Huo family firm was directly kicked out of the salt and iron franchise! This, you say this, this ......."
In the study, the second master Huo Xu (the word Da Lang), who specializes in business houses, is spitting bitterness towards his eldest brother Huo Zhi, and is pacing back and forth in a hurry.
"Once a son of heaven and a courtier...... Hasn't it been like this since ancient times? ”
Huo Zhe's eyelids lifted slightly, and he took a sip of tea slowly, but he was not in a hurry, not slow.
"But this Huangyang County, that's Liangzhou County! I think how much effort I put into it at the beginning to win the right to monopolize salt and iron! It's only been a few years now...... I'm going to spit out the fat in my mouth again! You say this, this is really annoying to me! ”
Huo Xu sighed "harm~", chopped his foot violently, and finally sat down next to his eldest brother.
"Big brother, this Huangyang County is no better than other counties, it is a real big county! The benefits of salt and iron alone...... It's even better than the sum of two counties!! ”
Speaking of which, Huo Zhi is only a few points right.
Of course, he also knows that the benefits of this salt and iron franchise are not trivial!
Therefore, the matter of salt and iron has always been controlled by the county guard's cronies, and the idle people and others are not even allowed to enter the door!
This Huangyang County salt and iron franchise was also entrusted to the concubine Niangniang by himself at the beginning, after several twists and turns, painstaking efforts, and the convenience of his own position, he got on the line with the Huangyang County Guard, but he really made a few years of great profits by lying down.
Now that the county guard is replaced, this piece of fat that reaches the mouth is about to disappear again...... But even if he has always been as indifferent as him, he can't help but feel a little distressed.
"You don't know, Da Lang...... If it was before, even if the county guard was replaced, maybe he could still find a way to mediate one or two, but yesterday in the palace, a major event happened......"
When it came to this, even Huo Zhi, who was a household servant, could only sigh helplessly.
"Yesterday, the Eighth Prince Zhao Sheng was crowned the king, and His Majesty just gave Huangyang County to His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, and gave him the title of King of Jin, and renamed Jinyang County!"
Huo Xu was shocked when he heard this, but he sat on the soft couch like weakness.
It's just because he knows in his heart that if King Jin is sealed here, then this matter will be even more difficult, and it is almost doomed!
As the mother of the king of Han, how can the Huo family get in touch with the king of Jin, who has just been crowned king? ?
So far...... It's no longer possible!
"Alas......"
Huo Xu sighed, knowing that the general trend had gone!
"Knock, knock...... Father, the child is commanded to come. ”
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, but it made Huo Zhi immediately stunned, and then said in a deep voice.
"Come in."
'Crunch', Hawking, who had not slept all night, pushed open the door and saluted immediately with apprehension.
"The child has seen his father, he has seen his uncle......"
Huo Xu was upset, he just nodded casually, and didn't bother to pay attention to these little things, but picked up the teacup and took a sip, but in an instant, he stuck out his tongue and inhaled the cool air!
Huo Zhi took a sip of tea lightly, and asked slowly without raising his eyelids.
"Hmm...... Didn't return last night...... What can be explained? ”
But the more this happened, the more Hawking felt apprehensive.
He immediately relented and hurriedly explained.
"Last night, the child did not return overnight, but it was not for fun, but at the invitation of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, he went to the Zuixiang Mansion to participate in the celebration dinner of His Royal Highness King Jin......"
With a 'snap', the tea cup missed and touched the ground, and it immediately fell apart and shot up!
"What?? Is this true?! ”
Huo Xu was shocked and immediately got up!
……
"Lu Cha, Huo Yin's biological mother, and the eldest lady of the Huo family in Quyang County, Qiandai.
His appearance is vulgar, dignified and gorgeous, although he is a wife, he often sighs to himself, shows pity, although the years are quiet but often sentimental, nothing to do.
Outsiders are sarcastic and secretly call themselves.
Therefore, later generations mostly used 'Lu tea' to refer to the daughter who is pure and refined in appearance, pitiful in front of people, harmless to people and animals, but good at scheming and teasing right and wrong.
Over time, it is also known as 'green tea'. ”
