97. Huo family
Half an hour later, Zhao Yongan returned to his mansion in the center of the city.
It is said to be a mansion, but it is actually a self-built house.
This belongs to the old town and should have been demolished a long time ago.
But Zhao Yongan's fame is too great, and a large number of mansions are his ancestral homes, so how to compensate him if others can't handle it, he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
In fact, for Zhao Yongan, it doesn't matter what ancestral house is or not.
Because although he was full of peaches and plums, he was traveling with his family when he was 60 years old and encountered a landslide.
A family of five, old and young, all died except for himself.
Zhao Yongan, who suddenly became a loner, has no direct heirs, so he doesn't attach so much importance to the inheritance of the family business.
But there is gossip that Zhao Yongan plans to take another apprentice before he dies, and when the time comes, he will pass on all his family business and network to him.
This news has never been acknowledged by Zhao Yongan, but it has spread all over the country within two years.
Although he was a man of letters, he was rich beyond imagination.
This ancient mansion that has been handed down from a hundred years ago alone is worth a fortune. And his collection of antiques and ancient books is countless.
may not even know how much property Zhao Yongan himself has.
The money aspect is valuable, and Zhao Lao's network of connections is even more coveted by everyone.
Having taught so many students, not to mention that every one of them was loyal to him, even if it was only one in twenty or one in fifty, this is a huge number.
Once the identity of Zhao's heir is confirmed, these networks are enough to make anyone easily soar.
Therefore, most of the people who usually come to visit the elderly are rushing to this.
Zhao Lao also knew in his heart, so he was very perfunctory to those people. For him, these people who seem to respect him on the surface are not as interesting as the young man he met by chance in the bookstore.
This old house, which was built a hundred years ago, has not undergone much repair, at most it is slightly reinforced, so as not to become a dangerous house.
Zhao Yongan also doesn't like that kind of luxurious style, since it is an old house, it should be a little old.
The tattered and old appearance is what it really should be.
The car stopped at the door of the old house, the man in the suit honked the horn, and the door opened.
The car drove in, and Zhao Yongan saw that there was an extra luxury car in the yard.
In the wooden courtyard not far from the car, there were two people.
One is middle-aged, the other is younger.
The person in charge of opening the door was an old man, who used to be the school's doorman, and later after Zhao Yongan retired, he hired him to continue to watch the gate for him.
In his words, it's been customary to see each other for decades, every day. I can't see it one day, and I feel very panicked.
The old man, who was about the same age as Zhao Yongan, looked like his body was quite strong, he walked over, waited for Zhao Yongan to get out of the car, and said, "There was a young man from the Huo family, who said that he was giving you a gift, so he let him in." ”
"yes, got it." Zhao Yongan waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.
At this time, the two people in the wooden courtyard had already walked over.
The middle-aged man came to him and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Zhao, I am Mr. Huo Jiaming's assistant, and my name is Wang Hanyi. ”
Then, the young man stretched out his hand to Zhao Yongan with a smile and said, "Hello Zhao Lao, I'm Huo Jiaming." Last time your eldest birthday, my dad couldn't come because of some accidents, and I always feel very sorry. Therefore, let him bring a gift to make amends for your sins. ”
"Who is your dad?"
"Huo Yujiang."
"Oh, the people of the Huo family." Zhao Yongan looked suddenly enlightened, shook hands with him with a smile, and said: "Just make amends, after the age of sixty, I will never hold a birthday banquet, and there is nothing to be sorry for." Since you are here, stay for a light meal, and when you go back, bring your gifts. ”
Zhao Yongan's tone was not very enthusiastic, saying that he asked you to stay for dinner, but when he brought a gift, it seemed like he was driving people.
Huo Jiaming didn't seem to understand, and still said with a smile: "I'm afraid I can't bring the gift back, it's a very rare Suguan Heding, we don't know how to raise this flower, I'm afraid that it will be tossed to death in three or two days when I take it back." ”
Zhao Yongan sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Since it's a flower, let's stay." Xiao Tang, let people cook a few northern dishes. ”
"I won't eat when I eat, so as not to disturb your peace, so that I will bring good wine tomorrow and drink two glasses with you at that time." Huo Jiaming said.
Zhao Yongan didn't force it, and after chatting casually, Huo Jiaming left with Wang Hanyi.
Tang Shiming, the bodyguard driver on the side, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Old man......"
Zhao Yongan knew what he was going to say, he had never accepted gifts, how could he make an exception today?
"After all, it's from the Huo family, and it's coming for my appetite, so I'll take it." Zhao Yongan showed emotion on his face and said, "What's more, the Huo family has that young man here, and the future development is immeasurable." Although I am alone, I have inextricable relationships with many people, and I don't want to offend them. ”
Tang Shiming knew who the young man he was talking about was, and said, "But since the Huo family wants to give gifts, they should also let Huo Bufan come in person, and it would be too disrespectful to let such a person who doesn't know how many people come to give it." ”
Tang Shiming was born in a family of martial arts, played martial arts at a young age, and won several national championships at the age of sixteen. That is, the year he won the grand slam of the martial arts competition, he was beaten into the hospital by a sanda practitioner.
Since then, Tang Shiming gave up martial arts routines and transferred to various types of hand-to-hand combat.
With his foundation, it is naturally easy to learn.
Now in his early thirties, it is the period when a person's qi and blood are at their most vigorous, and his hands and feet are terrifying.
However, a person who can fight so much admires literature very much.
According to his own words, it was because of his father's teachings that it was too rigid and easy to break.
It is precisely because his kung fu is so powerful that he needs the breath of the literati, and he can combine rigidity and softness, so that he can go to the next level.
Therefore, Tang Shiming came here five years ago and worked as a driver and bodyguard for Zhao Yongan, and repeatedly stated that he was not here to make money.
said that, Zhao Yongan still gave him a salary of 5,000 yuan every month.
Fu does not conform to the market situation, whether it is enough for Tang Shiming, he doesn't care.
And in the past five years, Tang Shiming has also followed Zhao Yongan to see many people and many things.
The Huo family's star of hope is one of them.
Among all the people I have seen in the past five years, Huo Bufan is definitely the most impressive to Zhao Yongan.
Even now, Zhao Yongan still mentions this young man from time to time, full of appreciation, and at the same time a little regretful.
Because in his eyes, Huo Bufan is so smart, if he can follow the text, he must be a master of the postmodern literary world.
It's a pity that this young man was born in a family of eunuchs, and he was contaminated with the smell of copper, no matter how smart he was, he was not on the same path.
Tang Shiming expressed his dissatisfaction that Huo Bufan did not come to give gifts to Zhao Yongan in person, while Zhao Yongan shook his head with a smile and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I am a bad old man, and I may not be worth his attention." Forget it, don't talk about this, go pluck some chives, and make scallion oil noodles at night to eat. ”
Tang Shiming answered, rolled up his sleeves, and went to the vegetable field to work.
Zhao Yongan looked at the pot of rare orchids with an auction price of more than 10 million in the wooden courtyard, shook his head slightly, and did not take another look.
The next day, because he had already asked for leave with Ji Xiangning, Huo Bufan sent Tangtang to school for Ning Xueqing.
When I arrived at school, I happened to see Yue Wenwen walking over alone.
Huo Bufan was a little surprised and asked, "Wenwen, you came to school alone?" ”
"Uncle Li!" Seeing Huo Bufan, Yue Wenwen was very happy and ran over to hug his legs, and then raised her face and said, "I miss you, when will you come to make me something to eat?" ”
Seeing that the little girl seemed to be a little emaciated, Huo Bufan knew that the mother and daughter should not have been doing well recently.
Squatting down and touching Yue Wenwen's head, Huo Bufan smiled and said, "You have to agree to this." ”
"Really? That's great, I'll talk to my mom after school! Yue Wenwen said very happily.
Huo Bufan smiled, and watched the two little girls enter the school hand in hand, and then turned to leave.
didn't know that about thirty meters away from the school, Gu Feiyang was standing under the tree, turning sideways to look at all this.
Seeing the intimacy between her daughter and Huo Bufan, she had mixed feelings in her heart.
The reason why she didn't send her daughter to the school gate was because she saw Huo Bufan, so she asked Yue Wenwen to come over by herself.
Because she thinks that her current self is not qualified to talk face-to-face with this kind of pride of heaven and hero.
Looking at Huo Bufan's departing back, Gu Feiyang walked out from behind the tree.
Her eyes were firm, the belief in her heart had not diminished, she believed that one day, she could stand in front of this man with her chest up, smile and say to him: "Hello, Mr. Li, long time no see." ”
