Chapter 116: Big Family
Because Huo Yanshen and Yang Chunyan were eager to ask for wool, after Boss Shen's words were explained, Huo Yanshen urged Boss Shen to arrange time as soon as possible, so that he could meet the wool merchant surnamed Ouyang.
Boss Shen is also sincere, and agreed to Huo Yanshen's matter, so he also arranged it as much as possible, so in just two days, Boss Shen sent someone to inform Huo Yanshen that they could prepare and go to see the big wool family surnamed Ouyang.
Before leaving, Yang Chunyan attached great importance to this meeting, she brushed her hair in front of the mirror, and said to Huo Yanshen, who was changing clothes behind her: "In the past few days, I have also inquired a little about the situation of this family, saying that the Ouyang family is now in charge, and it is the eldest son of the old lady Ouyang, and later after the old lady Ouyang died, the main business of the family was given to the eldest son, that is, the current Ouyang master, in addition to the Ouyang master, he also has an old lady's fifth master, I heard that Master Ouyang and the fifth master have had a good relationship since childhood, and now the other brothers and sisters have been separated, only these two families still live together, and it is estimated that we will also see this fifth master later, when we salute, we can't forget him, so as not to be complained. ”
Huo Yanshen looked at Yang Chunyan's busy back and nodded: "Don't worry, lady, I won't make any mistakes in the number of etiquette when the time comes." It's a lady, I see that you have lost a lot of weight these days, and your chin is a little sharper. ”
Huo Yanshen was not very nervous originally, he had traveled south and north for so many years, and he had seen everyone, but now that Yang Chunyan seemed to be paying too much attention to it, he deliberately diverted the topic, hoping to make Yang Chunyan a little more relaxed.
Hearing Huo Yanshen talk about her fat and thin problem, Yang Chunyan's attention was really attracted to the side, she looked at the mirror for a long time, and the more she looked, the more puzzled she became: "I don't think I'm thin?" Not only is it not thin, how do you feel that this chin is still a little round? ”
The corners of Yang Chunyan's mouth twitched, remembering that she had followed Huo Yanshen behind her in the past few days, either eating with some of her peers, or Huo Yanshen taking her around and eating everywhere.
Yang Chunyan turned his head and glared at Huo Yanshen, Huo Yanshen didn't mention how aggrieved he was, he winked at Yang Chunyan and didn't speak for a long time.
After cleaning up, the people sent by Boss Shen to pick up Huo Yanshen and Yang Chunyan were already waiting downstairs, and the little servant politely let Huo Yanshen sit in the prepared carriage, and then slowly walked towards the destination.
When he arrived at the gate of Ouyang's mansion, the carriage stopped, and the servant first stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the servant who watched the door poked his head out of it, and after asking the person who came, the servant went back, and after a long time, the servant came out and informed the servant: "You go to the wrong door and go in." ”
After the little guy got the order, he nodded hurriedly, put the car back on, and walked in the direction of the side door.
Lest Huo Yanshen and Yang Chunyan have something they don't understand in their hearts, the little guy took the initiative to explain: "Don't mind, you two, it's just that this Ouyang Mansion is a big family with a head and a face in the local area, although the ancestor has accumulated this family business because of the business from the south to the north, at most he is a rich man and will not have too high a status, but the descendants of the ancestors of this family are competitive and insist on taking the road of the imperial examination, and they went to the palace examination in one breath. This honor has been passed down from generation to generation, and the descendants behind have their own abilities, so the glory of this Ouyang Mansion has always been there. ”
After Yang Chunyan heard it, she was also amazed in her heart, saying that the glory of a family would not pass a hundred years, but now, she can be regarded as seeing a ready-made counterexample.
At the same time, Yang Chunyan couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart, how could this kind of person talk about cooperation with ordinary people like them? This is stepping into the house, which can be regarded as a blessing from several generations of cultivation.
Thinking of this, Yang Chunyan couldn't help but hold Huo Yanshen's hand and said, "I don't know how Boss Shen knows such a big family, it is estimated that there will be some problems when we talk about business...... But if nothing else, we came into the compound to see the world, and it was not in vain. ”
Seeing that Yang Chunyan was obviously full of sadness but still holding on to his spirit to comfort himself, Huo Yanshen was very moved in his heart, he smiled and said: "Lady, I am the man in the family, if there is a difficulty in the family, it should be me who will carry it, it is not good for me to make you so tired of running around during this time." ”
Yang Chunyan shook her head, and just when she wanted to say something, the little guy outside opened the carriage door curtain a small piece and said in a low voice: "It's already in the living room, let's get down, Boss Shen has come here early, and is talking to the eldest and fifth masters of the Ouyang family in the living room." ”
Huo Yanshen got out of the carriage first, then turned around and helped Yang Chunyan and slowly got out of the carriage.
Yang Chunyan, who had just stepped out of the carriage, paused very unproductively, when she hadn't seen the situation outside clearly in the car, Yang Chunyan didn't hear a little noise, she thought that she should have walked into a remote place, but she never thought that there were slaves in all kinds of clothes standing around, they came and went to perform their duties, although there were many people, but they couldn't hear the slightest noise.
Yang Chunyan's throat suddenly rose to her throat, thinking that she had lived in a modern city before, where had she encountered this kind of scene of a group of slaves, lest something go wrong and affect the business, so she hurriedly lowered her head and stepped down from the carriage.
"Housekeeper, these two are the husband and wife of the Huo family from Yunxian County, and I ask the housekeeper to bother to bring the two of them to Master Ouyang." As he spoke, he took out a delicate purse from his sleeve and smiled and prepared to stuff it for the butler.
Who knew that the housekeeper just glanced at Huo Yanshen and Yang Chunyan coldly, glanced down at the purse in his hand, weighed it casually, chuckled, and returned the purse to the little servant: "It's not like this, although I am just a steward, but the lord is merciful and let me stay in Ouyang's house for decades. ”
The little guy didn't expect this housekeeper to be so shameless, he knew that the housekeeper's reaction must be that he felt that the money in the purse was too little, and he didn't want to put it in his eyes.
This scene made Yang Chunyan see it all, she had a decent smile on her face, but she had a strange feeling in her heart. This scene is really the same as the costume films I watched before.
Even the servants in the family are so arrogantly dressed, it is estimated that the two of them will really stand in front of the old man, and it is estimated that the old man Ouyang will not see the two of them at all.
"Don't worry, since the eldest master is waiting over there, then I will definitely bring someone here, two, the master's time is precious, please take it." The housekeeper walked in front of Yang Chunyan and Huo Yanshen without squinting, and spoke.
Yang Chunyan nodded hurriedly, she followed closely behind Huo Yanshen, a large number of people followed the two of them, Yang Chunyan complained bitterly in her heart, she knew that she was so restrained when she came to this place, even if she shrank her head once and became a turtle with a shrunken head, it was nothing.
A group of people walked silently in the Ouyang family's mansion, and just when Yang Chunyan was about to be dizzy by the building here, the living room finally arrived.
Huo Yanshen's expression was indifferent, Yang Chunyan felt that she was not too loose, so as not to let others see it, and felt that it was disrespectful to the high-ranking family, she frowned, trying to make herself look nervous and serious.
After a while, a servant came out of the room, letting Huo Yanshen and Yang Chunyan in, Huo Yanshen turned his head and glanced at Yang Chunyan with a serious expression, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said: "With me, don't be afraid, you can just do it like you do at home on weekdays, don't think about anything else." ”
"I'm not afraid, you're busy." Yang Chunyan smiled slightly, she really didn't mean to be scared at all from stepping into Ouyang Mansion just now, but she followed the customs of the locals, and in this place with strict rules, she still had to abide by the rules. Otherwise, if you make such a little head, I am afraid that you will be forked out and thrown away by someone in the next second.
The two of them came to the living room, Yang Chunyan kept her head down, and when she saw Huo Yanshen raise her hands and start saluting, Yang Chunyan also hurriedly bent her knees, and greeted Master Ouyang with Huo Yanshen.
"I didn't expect the Huo Dong family to be so young, I heard that the Huo family's grocery store is very famous in Yun County, and when I see it today, it is really terrifying!"
It was the eldest lord of the Ouyang family who spoke, and to Yang Chunyan's surprise, this eldest lord Ouyang did not have a little messy shelf, originally looking at the appearance of the housekeeper just now, Yang Chunyan also speculated that this eldest lord would be a difficult one.
"Hmph, it's just a few facades, how big of a climate can it be? Big brother, if you praise others like this, I'm afraid they won't be blessed! ”
Just when Yang Chunyan was cheering in her heart, a voice suddenly sounded on the side, and she poured a basin of cold water on Yang Chunyan's head.
I only heard Huo Yanshen beside him speak without humility or arrogance: "What the fifth master said is right, it is indeed Lord Ouyang who praised it falsely, and the younger generation is really ashamed." ”
"I said fifth brother, it's not that you haven't heard of the Huo family's grocery store in Yunxian County, the original pair of woolen socks, but it caused a lot of turmoil, I remember we were talking about it at the time, why did you forget it now?"
Lord Ouyang looked at Huo Yanshen with a smile, raised his hand and grabbed the beard on his chin, he looked at the fifth master who was sitting sullenly on the side, and said.
Yang Chunyan secretly glanced at the fifth old man who sighed, compared to the eldest master's energetic spirit, writing this fifth old man is indeed a little sluggish, although he is over half a hundred years old, but in front of his brother, the fifth old man still has no bright spots.
