Chapter 29: Ask a Few Questions
Huo Yixiao walked out of the mansion and stood against the stone lion for a while, then saw Huo Yixuan trotting out.
"Why don't you leave without saying a word," Huo Yixuan hooked Huo Yixiao's shoulder, "Can't wait to visit Xizi Lake?" β
Huo Yixiao didn't move, only said: "Xuan Zai." β
Huo Yixuan was excited, and subconsciously withdrew his arm and stood up straight.
Seeing him react like this, the relatives waiting on the side sneered.
Huo Yixuan glared at his relatives, and pretended to touch the tip of his nose casually: "Can you not learn from my father?" Scared to death personally. When I heard it, I thought it was no good thing. β
It's his nickname.
That's what his mother called him since he was a child.
As I grew older, my mother stopped calling me that, but my father never changed his words, especially when he was training.
The brothers have listened a lot, and they joke from time to time.
"Something to talk about." Huo Yixuan said.
Huo Yixiao said: "If you want to visit West Lake, do you know the way?" Where is the ferry? β
"I don't recognize," Huo Yixuan replied, "Ask people, you don't want to speak, I'm still talking." β
Huo Yixiao said: "Ask someone to lead the black boat, a pot of wine and a hundred silver, a song of gold, do we two jump into the lake to report to the official?" β
Hearing this, Huo Yixuan laughed.
This is the funniest joke in the capital this summer.
There are a few gentlemen who boast of being romantic, but they have to report to the official for the matter, although the money is saved, they lose face.
The flower boat on the West Lake, you can't break your leg by jumping down, but it's definitely more humiliating.
Huo Yixuan smiled and said, "Then what do you say?" β
Huo Yixiao raised his chin towards the gate of the mansion: "Ask them for a guide." β
In the ya, Huo Huaiding was tasting Lin'an delicacies, and saw Huo Yixuan go and return.
Huo Yixuan said: "It is said that the scenery of West Lake is different day and night in four seasons, and if you don't visit West Lake, you will come to Lin'an in vain......"
Huo Huaiding stared at him: "Talk about the point." β
"We don't know the way," Huo Yixuan said busily, "There is a lack of a guide." β
Governor Li slapped his arm.
He was so confused that he was an official in Lin'an City, and he forgot about this.
When the patrol press arrived, the yamen should be clean and beautiful, and taking care of the sons is also the top priority.
The son of the Huo family, not to mention being able to call him a brother, is also very good to make friends and make a good fate.
Governor Li hurriedly said: "Young people swim in the lake, or it is better to be with peers, my family does not have sons and nephews of this age, there is one in the Wentong prefect's mansion, but the family is in distress, and it is inconvenient for recreation, so let Meng Tongzhi's eldest grandson show the way for the sons?" β
Huo Huai agreed, but said: "Just look at the scene, eat wine, and don't come nonsense." β
Meng Tongzhi's eldest grandson, Meng Yu, was called, he was not tall, spoke softly, and looked like a sincere person.
Since he is the guide, Meng Yu will honestly lead the way.
Huo Yixiao didn't talk much, so Meng Yu didn't talk, and only told the good-natured Huo Yixuan some interesting things in the city.
Lin'an City is lively.
As the ferry approached, there were more and more people.
Meng Yu was about to send the little guy to find a boat, when he suddenly heard someone on the side ask about Ji Ji.
"What about the man?"
Meng Yu looked at it fixedly, and the one who asked was Huo Yixiao, who had barely opened his mouth along the way.
"Ji Gongzi ......," Meng Yu pondered his words and said, "I only know him face-to-face." He is the youngest grandson of Mrs. Shun Pingbo, and he is very popular with his family, and usually likes to swim in the lake with his cousins. β
Huo Yixuan changed his straightforward rhetoric for him: "I am spoiled and lawless, and I have a bunch of dog legs." β
Meng Yu was obviously not one to speak ill of people behind his back, so he smiled dryly and walked away first by preparing the boat.
"What do you ask Ji Ji to do?" Seeing this, Huo Yixuan turned his head and asked Huo Yixiao, seeing that the latter did not answer, he said to himself, "That person has nothing to do with you, and he insists on saying that it has a relationship, because of the little girl in Mrs. Xia's family?" β
Huo Yixiao's gaze fell on the lantern at the ferry, and said lightly: "For Cheng An's sake, if Cheng An knew that there was such an unknown person staring at Wen Yan, she would be angry." β
"When did you care if the princess was angry or not?" Huo Yixuan said.
Huo Yixiao stopped talking.
Meng Yu found a small boat, and the boatman sent the group to a wine shop on the boat.
The boat is not big, the wine and food taste excellent, and it is interesting to enjoy the wine while swimming in the lake.
In the distance, all kinds of large and small flower boats, the sound of silk and bamboo.
Huo Yixuan leaned against the railing to blow the night breeze and asked Meng Yu: "You said that Ji Ji loves to swim in the lake, which flower boat belongs to his family?" β
Meng Yu shook his head: "There are many big boats in the lake, so it's hard to recognize." β
When the ship docked, Meng Yu wanted to send people back to the post house, but he didn't want to, there was no Huo family brother to be found on the shore.
On the fourth watch, the stars are called the clouds hidden.
A small boat rocked and approached the Ji family's flower boat.
Most of them are already drunk, and there is no movement of singing and eating and drinking on the flower boat.
On the boat, Huo Yixuan sighed and asked Huo Yixiao: "Do you want to see what this flower captain looks like after looking around?" You've got to do it, right? My dad asked......"
"Xuan Zai." Huo Yixiao called.
Huo Yixuan covered his face: "Okay, you are the master, you have the final say." I just want to ask, what do you want to do when you tie people up? β
"Don't do anything, ask a few things." After Huo Yixiao finished speaking, he turned over and jumped onto the flower boat.
There is a lot of alcohol on board.
Huo Yixiao didn't recognize Ji Ji, but Ji Ji's clothes were the most exquisite in the boat, he picked one by one, and jumped back to the boat with the other party's back collar.
Ji Ji didn't know what was going on, and scolded half-drunk and half-awake: "Old crazy woman, vomiting medicine is said to vomit blood, but she vomits two mouthfuls of blood to see!" β
Huo Yixiao pressed Ji Yan's head into the lake without changing his face, and lifted it again.
Ji Ji choked on the water, and the wine woke up in an instant, and before he could see the situation clearly, he called a black cloth to cover his face.
He cried out, "Who? Dare to rob me? Don't know who I am? β
"Who," Huo Yixiao said lazily, "Ji Ji." β
"I know you still dare to ...... Oops! Ji Ji was kicked and gasped in pain.
"Want to marry Wen Yan?" Huo Yixiao asked, "What kind of family background?" β
Ji Ji said: "Shunping Bofu! Heyβ"
"Ask yourself," Huo Yixiao said, "Are you famous?" How about Kung Fu? β
Huo Yixuan sat on the side, listening to this, the wine jug in his hand was almost crooked.
What's the problem?
The father-in-law examines the son-in-law?
Huo Yixiao regarded himself as Wen Yan's father?
Ji Ji couldn't get back to his senses, and subconsciously replied "no merit" and "no martial arts", only then did he find out that something was wrong, and shouted: "Who are you?" Who is your father? β
"My mother died a long time ago," Huo Yixiao said, "There is another one, he didn't recognize my son, and I didn't want to recognize his father." Someone in the family is an official, that's all. β
Ji Ji struggled: "It turned out to be a little bastard!" My family has a knighthood, you-"
Halfway through his words, Huo Yixiao raised his hand and threw Ji Yan into the water.
Poof, clean.
Following.
Ding'an Hou Fuzhong.
When Wen Yan came out of the house, he saw Mama Huang and a mother-in-law talking in the courtyard.
The woman's eyebrows fluttered, and when she saw Wen Yan, she hurriedly straightened up, said hello, and left in a hurry.
Wen Yan was curious: "What did my mother say to her?" β
Mama Huang stepped forward, straightened the hem of Wen Yan's clothes, and said: "It is said that the wicked have evil retribution, and that Ji Ji fell into the West Lake in the middle of the night, and was soaked and picked up." β
Wen Yan laughed.
