Chapter 31: The Great Loss of Impression Points

As soon as the servant who delivered the message left, Huo Guang hurriedly got off the bed, as if he had agreed on it.

"Second master, let's serve you and dress!" One of the maids said softly, and the voice was indeed extremely pleasant.

"Well, that's a problem for you. Hurry up! Huo Guang was worried about Sima Qian and Su Wu, he didn't want the two big celebrities to wait too long and leave a bad impression in their hearts, so he urged the two maids.

"Yes" The two girls hurriedly stepped forward and began to comb and dress Huo Guang. Because both men and women in the Han Dynasty had long hair, the hair had to be combed every day, and combing the hair became an indispensable daily affair for everyone.

"By the way, I don't know what your names are?" Huo Guang found that he didn't know the names of these two maids now, and he would have to get along with them for a long time in the future, so he asked.

"Back to the second master, we are all slaves and maids, and we have no names since we were children. After coming to the Hou Mansion, the chief steward gave us a name, my name is Xian'er, and her name is Lan'er. The maid, with a very beautiful voice, replied.

"Oh, Xian'er Lan'er, it's pretty nice!" Huo Guang responded, such a name is not special, but it is quite meaningful to match these two maids.

That Xian'er is a maid with a pleasant voice, her voice is indeed special, and she is worthy of this Xianzi. As for Lan'er Huoguang, he feels that this woman is also a demure and gentle person, and her temperament is very close to that of an orchid. From these two names, it is not difficult to see that this chief of the Hou Mansion also has some ability.

"By the way, how long have those two adults been looking for me?" Huo Guang waited for Xian'er and Lan'er to freshen up for themselves, and asked how long Sima Qian and Su Wu had been here.

"It seems that they came early, as if they came at the end of the hour." This time it was not Xian'er who answered, but Lan'er, who rarely spoke. It is estimated that Xian'er didn't pay attention to when Sima Qian and Su Wu came, and only Lan'er was as careful as a hair, so she also wrote down these things that she couldn't help but want.

"What time is it?" Huo Guangxin said that these two people came quite early, in ancient times, it was two hours from seven o'clock to nine o'clock in the morning, so the end of the hour was naturally close to nine o'clock.

"It's past midday, and it's just noon." Xian'er reacted quickly and immediately rushed to answer.

"What...... It's noon. Huo Guang was startled, and quickly stood up, regardless of whether his hair was neat or not, and whether his clothes were straightened out.

Huo Guang was really anxious now, and he actually asked Sima Qian and Su Wu to wait outside the Hou Mansion for two hours. If this matter was written into the history books by Sima Qian, he would have to leave an arrogant and rude image in later generations. Of course, Huo Guang didn't care about whether Sima Qian would record these things, but he really didn't want to leave a bad impression in the hearts of the two celebrities.

Huo Guang trotted all the way, his shoes were crooked, his clothes were disheveled, and his hair was scattered to the side hall of the Hou Mansion. After all, Sima Qian and Su Wu now have low official positions, and the servants can only lead them to the side hall.

"Shh......h The two adults waited for a long time. Huo Guang panted and stepped into the side hall and saw two people sitting in the hall, needless to say that these two were Sima Qian and Su Wu.

"Uh......" Sima Qian and Su Wu both looked at Huo Guang with some astonishment when they heard this, but when they saw Huo Guang's appearance, they couldn't help frowning.

"This is Huo Guang? I heard that this person was born in the mountains, with the champion Hou, and now he is rich and noble, and he really looks like a villain...... "Huo Guang's image is so rude, Sima Qian and Su Wu can't help but be disgusted with Huo Guang in their hearts.

"Sima Qian, Su Wu, meet Huo Shizhong." Sima Qian and Su Wu stood up and only symbolically saluted Huo Guang. Both of them are from powerful families, and they are already disgusted with Huo Guang at the moment, so naturally they will not have a good face.

Huo Guang saw the expressions of the two, and looked down at himself again, Huo Guang also realized that he was rude. However, in this way, Huo Guang's expectations for Su Wu and Sima Qian have also decreased a lot.

Sima Qian and Su Wu are both in their twenties now, Su Wu is just twenty, and Sima Qian is older, now he is twenty-seven or eighteen. However, the two only took advantage of their father's status and were awarded the position of Langzhong by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. And although Huo Guang is much younger than the two of them, he now has the official position of Zhu Cao's servants, although he is only an additional official, but he is much higher than Lang Zhong. So this time the three of them met Sima Qian and Su Wu to visit Huo Guang.

was looked down upon, and Huo Guang was not very comfortable in his heart. However, out of politeness, he reached out to straighten his clothes and shaved the hair on his head with his hands. Then he asked, "I wonder why you two are looking for me?" ”

It's a pity that Huo Guang didn't know that his actions fell in the eyes of Sima Qian and Su Wu, but they became arrogant and rude again. This time, Huo Guang was a big loss in the hearts of Sima Qian and Su Wu!

"The lower officials heard that Huo Shizhong followed the champion Hou Yuan's expedition to Mobei throughout the whole process, although it should have been recorded by officials, but he wanted to compile some historical books that recorded the ancient and modern, so he came to Huo Shizhong to verify the process of the battle of Mobei." After all, Sima Qian is older, and although he is not happy with Huo Guang's performance, he has not forgotten the main purpose of his trip.

"The Chronicles? Are you going to use some historical records? Huo Guang came to his senses and hurriedly asked. He knew before that Sima Qian had been preparing since he was an adult in order to write historical records, not only looking for historical sites everywhere, but also asking many old people one by one. It turned out that he came to him today to confirm the Battle of Mobei again through himself.

"Rigorous...... That's what learning is all about! Huo Guang couldn't help but appreciate it in his heart. You must know that as Sima Qian said, there are official records about the Battle of Mobei, but Sima Qian still has to verify it himself, which shows the rigor of his attitude in writing history!

"The Chronicles? What is this work? Could it be that there really is such a history book in this world? Sima Qian was slightly stunned, he had never heard of such a book as "Historical Records" after thinking about it in his mind. ( Pingnan Romance)

"Then why did Lord Su Wu come?" Huo Guang knew that he had missed his mouth, so he hurriedly asked Su Wu about his intentions, so as to divert Sima Qian's attention.

"I am free to be interested in the customs and culture of the countries of the Western Regions and the barbarians of the Quartet, and I am here to accompany Brother Sima, and I also want to know some about the situation of the Xiongnu here in Huo Shizhong." Su Wu's intention is purely a personal hobby, but his hobby is really suitable for his future diplomatic work.

"Heh, this person said that he has seen the old since he was a child, and these two people are really this piece of material, no wonder they will achieve so much in the future." Huo Guang thought in his heart. However, he was also a little curious, originally Sima Qian did not record himself in the "Historical Records", so will his own crossing change Sima Qian, and finally let himself appear in the "Historical Records"?

There is not much gossip, Huo Guang told Sima Qian and Su Wu about the battle of Mobei in the side hall, of course, the entire battlefield was told from his point of view, and naturally he also said that the anti-guest strategy when the soldiers were trapped in the wolf house was Huo Quai's idea, anyway, in Huo Guang's narration, he was completely a spectator.

As soon as Huo Guang began to tell, Sima Qian took out a pair of bamboo slips, held a carving knife in his hand and began to record some key points, while Su Wu listened quietly, and Su Wu did not make a sound from beginning to end, but Sima Qian asked Huo Guang some things from time to time.

This conversation was another hour, and Huo Guang screamed several times in the end, but he also endured to tell Sima Qian seriously.

"Please forgive me for disturbing Huo Shizhong today, the two of us will leave!" Sima Qian and Su Wu stood up and said goodbye, although Huo Guang worked very hard to tell the two of them in this hour, but his image in the hearts of the two was still negative. The two said goodbye, so there was no intention of deep friendship.

"Uh...... Do you want to stay for a light meal? Huo Guang asked tentatively, but seeing that the two of them were not moved in the slightest, Huo Guang also understood that these two people were suspicious of him, so he no longer forcibly kept them.

"Okay, come on, send the two adults for me!" Huo Guang knew that it would be difficult to change this first impression once it was made, and he didn't know if he could slowly change the image in the hearts of the two of them in the future.

Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Huo Guang could only sigh in his heart, he didn't expect Huo Qu's illness to defile himself after returning to Chang'an that day, but he had already offended two people before he went to Chang'an City, and the key was that these two people were not small. It's okay now, I guess I don't have to defile myself, and my reputation won't be very good slowly!

Huo Guangyi walked out of the side hall happily, and asked his subordinates to prepare their own meals. When Huo Qu was sick and went to the palace, he generally did not return to eat, because according to the past practice, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty usually had to leave Huo Qu to eat with him. Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not leave Huo to be sick, the crown prince Liu Ju would invite Huo to be sick, and even sometimes Empress Wei Zifu would invite Huo to go to dinner. In short, Huo Quai's attack is not worrying about having nothing to eat, of course, this is also his honor!

As for Huo Huan, the little ancestor, Huo Guang knew that he would not eat with him. This little ancestor has a whole row of maids and old mothers to serve, and now he doesn't know where to go crazy in the Hou Mansion. In this way, Huo Guang became an idler in the Hou Mansion.

"Old seven, eight, you should be familiar with Chang'an City, right? Or you'll take me out for a walk. Huo Guang thought to himself that there must be many strange things in this huge Chang'an City, anyway, he was familiar with Chang'an City if he had nothing to do in the past few days.

"No problem, I don't know where the second master wants to go? I'll go ahead and arrange it. The eighth asked.

"Arrangement? What is arranged? Let's just take a walk. Huo Guang said with some surprise, he didn't understand what the eighth man meant.

"The second master doesn't bring a few entourages?" The eighth child was also a little surprised in his heart, the princes and sons of Chang'an City liked to hug each other, and he thought that Huo Guang should also bring more than a dozen domestic servants when he went out.

"Whatever retinue you bring, just the two of you and me!" Huo Guang said while eating, and as soon as he heard that he had an entourage, Huo Guang thought of bringing a group of dog minions to swagger through the city and flirt with the women of good families.

To be honest, Huo Guang is really not good at this mouthful.
