Chapter 156: I'm Your Brother-in-law
Huo Rong finished dealing with the matter at hand early, read a few more letters, and arrived at Xinghualou.
The male and female guests are divided into east and west compartments, a quadrangle, the stage is in the patio, and the view on three sides is good.
The first two were Li Can and another general, Huo Rong greeted him with a cup of tea and walked out of the door.
Changying settled Tan Shuyin and the two female dependents who had arrived first, and also came out to say hello to the east.
Huo Rong looked at her under the porch and walked over.
"Don't run around after dinner, I'll take you to see the doctor."
Changying really doesn't need him to be so thoughtful: "You tell me where the shop is, I'll go by myself." ”
"No, people will say I'm not considerate enough."
Changying looked at him for a long time and said, "You are so thick-skinned, and you are still afraid of gossip?" ”
Huo Rong smiled and said nothing.
Changying stopped talking.
Huo Rong was about to enter the door, his eyes glanced at the gate of the courtyard, and then turned to look again.
Xu Lan walked into the courtyard with his hands in his hands, he was as warm as jade in a white shirt, dignified and graceful, but he did not lose his heroic spirit at all.
Huo Rong turned his head to look at his side, and his face became not very good.
Changying couldn't help but soften her expression when she saw Xu Lan, and greeted her: "You're here." How is it alone? ”
"There is also Xing Mu and Lu Xin tethering horses outside." Xu Lan took out a set of exquisite sleeve arrows and gave it to her, and said, "I wish you a high step." ”
Changying turned it to Zi Yuan to hold, and was about to speak, Tan Shao's loud voice outside the door came again, it turned out that he and several deputy commanders accompanied Ling Yuan all the way, and there were also Shaoqing sent by Changying to pick up the commanders.
Changying's list only includes Tan Shao's four chief and deputy commanders, Xu Lan, and his colleague Xingmu Lu Xin, and the other two young generals who have a good relationship.
Then there is Li Can, another commander of the Supervision Division, and his own Shaoqing and Zhou Liang Huang Ji.
Shaoqing, as a "cousin", is more appropriate to entertain guests with Huo Rong as the same "male host".
If Zhou Liang Huang Ji is still just a small army leader, the level is almost the same, but everyone knows their relationship with Changying, and they usually invite dinner in the mansion to do the same, and Tan Shao and they don't care.
So Ling Yuan was not included in the first place, because she couldn't think of a reason why she invited him?
Seeing him now, she immediately turned her head sideways to look at Huo Rong.
Huo Rong curled the corners of his lips and greeted him steadily.
Of course, he asked him to send the post. No one is invited, but Ling Yuan is invited, who will let him still have a bell hanging under his window?
Ling Yuan stopped under the threshold, looked at Changying, and then looked at him.
He knew who the post was sent to him, and it was rare for him to be thick-skinned to this extent, did the bell admit him? Are they married? Tian shamelessly regarded himself as a husband.
He didn't think she would want to invite him to such a party, but this skinless and faceless guy was too arrogant, and if he didn't come, wouldn't he be in his arms?
He said to Changying: "I brought your horse to you, tied it to the stable, and remember to bring it back when you turn around." ”
In the conference hall that day, he personally confessed that she was a member of the Ling family, and was later beaten back to her original form by Huo Rong's marriage letter, in the eyes of the people in the guard, he was already the image of being pried into the corner of the wall if the proposal failed, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it so much.
But now that he is talking to her in such a tone, even if the people present will not be shocked anymore, they will more or less sweat - this is a rival in love, it is extremely fatal, Hou Ye is going to smash the field?
Changying is also a little nervous, is Huo Rong playing with fire? Who can't mess with Ling Yuan?
Huo Rong was calm and instructed Guan Su: "Take care of the young lady's horse." After speaking, he smiled and bowed his hand to Ling Yuan: "Master Hou, please!" ”
The whole process did not show a trace of embarrassment, like a gentleman with the best cultivation.
Ling Yuan glanced at him and led the team into the door.
Xu Lan also glanced at him, and stepped up the stone steps with his hands in his hands.
Changying gave Huo Rong a look that he didn't know what to say, and also went to the West Chamber.
There are two large round tables in the east hall, one is Huang Ji, Zhou Liang accompanied Xing Mu and several other low-level generals. At the other table, Huo Rong Shaoqing accompanied Ling Yuan, Tan Shao and the three deputy commanders, as well as Xu Lan.
Ling Yuan naturally lived at the head of the guest, Tan Shao on the left, and Huo Rong on the right, but after he sat down, Tan Shao was invited to the next table first.
He looked at Xu Lan, who was sitting in the next seat, and accosted, "Is General Xu's injury very good?" ”
Xu Lan has not officially met this Marquis Wu Ninghou so far, and he is also thinking that he should pay a visit, but because of Huo Rongcheng's appearance, he can't figure out whether the timing is right.
At this time, when he asked, he naturally took the opportunity to speak: "Thank you Master Hou for your concern, it's been six or seven years better." ”
Ling Yuan nodded and pointed to Tan Shao's seat: "Sit down and talk." ”
Xu Lan shifted his position.
"I heard that Ling Zun is going to be transferred to Liaodong?"
"I did receive an appointment, but I haven't set a date for my departure yet."
After chatting a few words, Ling Yuan pinched two peanuts from his plate, looked at the door and asked him, "Can General Xu drink today?" ”
Xu Lan paused slightly, and also looked at the door, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Huo Rong talking to Li Can under the door.
Dealing with Ling Yuancai, he instantly understood this sentence.
He smiled slightly and said, "The doctor has told you not to drink too much." But on a day like today, I have to pay a few glasses to General Huo. ”
Ling Yuan looked at him deeply and added him a cup of tea.
Huo Rong turned around and saw the two people sitting together, and after looking at it for a while, he turned his head to see Shaoqing and beckoned him over.
"I'm your brother-in-law, what's the matter when you turn around, you have to help me, don't you?"
"Why?!" Shaoqing went back. As for his brother-in-law, it's a fake, he has discussed it with Huang Ji and Zhou Liang, and he will have to be brought down in a while.
Huo Rong patted him on the shoulder: "I know that you followed Changying with all your heart, but it was actually because you were in trouble at first, and then she let you be beaten." ”
"So what?"
"I also know that you didn't want to get into trouble back then, but you were dragged over. Then the secret was leaked, and then it was put on the street, so that Changying was caught. ”
Shao Qing frowned.
"I know who leaked the secret, and you were beaten."
Shaoqing had a shock on his face.
"If you want to know who did it, just recognize me as a brother-in-law for the time being, and go back to Tong Qi, and he will tell you who that person is."
Shaoqing couldn't speak......
There are two reasons why he did not return to Beijing, one is that he found Changying and followed her for a while, and felt that this life was quite free and comfortable.
The second is that he was making trouble outside, Changying dragged him back to Feng's house, and when he was beaten by his father, he said that he was abducted, but they didn't believe it, and always felt that he was born a bane, so he ran away from home and refused to go back.
This surnamed Huo actually knows everything about his black history, and he actually found out the person who leaked the secret behind it?!
How could he be so powerful!
