Chapter 51: Pity the Little Ones
Huo Roufeng suddenly slapped her head, and she seemed to be led astray by Zhan Huai again.
Obviously, she was questioning why Zhanhuai came here, but she was biased to seek a future for Mr. Zhang.
This is too far and too far away.
"You said your father was very strict, you look like a ghost, he didn't care about you?" Huo Roufeng asked.
Zhan Huai smiled dryly: "You are a child, I can only talk to the child in detail." ”
Huo Rou exhaled angrily, she was also twenty-five years old in the two lives combined, how could she be a child?
Of course, can a fourteen-year-old and an eleven-year-old get together to deal with a twenty-five-year-old? Well, maybe it's okay to fight.
Zhan Huai saw her two cheeks bulging one by one, and then smiled again.
Huo Jiu is really interesting, how can there be such an interesting child? When he was as old as Huo Jiu, he was already in the barracks, yes, compared to Huo Jiu, he didn't seem to have been a child before.
"Okay, okay, I don't say you're a child, by the way, you injured your foot last time, are you okay now?" Zhanhuai asked.
Huo Roufeng thinks that if you talk about flickering, there is really no one who can compare to Zhanhuai, and I don't know how Min Guogong could give birth to such a son, just a few words, and flickered to her feet.
"It wasn't too serious, but it's already healed now." Huo Roufeng said.
"Not serious? You asked the doctor of the Four Seasons Hall to carry it back, and then ran out to walk the dog by yourself at night, and the wound must have collapsed. Zhanhuai said.
"Huh? You've been spying on me? Huo Roufeng's eyes widened again, that time on the dock after she and Zhanhuai separated, she was pulled to the mansion by the people of the Taiping Society as a small Huazi, and later Zhang Shengping took her to the Four Seasons Hall, she thought that Zhanhuai had already left on the dock, but he didn't expect him to even know that she was a person who carried her back.
"It's not surveillance, your foot is injured, I don't want you to become a little cripple, so I just took a few more looks."
It's not a few glances, it's two or three hours.
Huo Roufeng snorted from his nose and asked, "Okay, you also know that my feet are good, then it's time to tell the truth, if you talk about it again, get out of here now." ”
Zhan Huai saw that her little face was tense, not angry and arrogant, and couldn't help but solemnly get up: "Okay, okay, you're playing with you, don't be like this, I'll only stay at your house for one night, and I'll leave tomorrow, no, I'll leave tomorrow." ”
Speaking of this, Zhan Huai raised his hand: "I promise not to cause trouble to the Huo family, you guessed right, I really want to borrow the name of the Huo family, for the sake of me helping you raise a dog, tomorrow you will send a steward to send me to the city, okay?" ”
The Huo family is one of the best merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are three streets of industry in Wuxi alone, and Yongfeng has many businesses in Wuxi, otherwise he would not have built a Zhuangzi in Wuxi back then.
Although Zhuangzi is in the countryside, there are not many people in Wuxi who don't know the Huo family's affairs, so let the steward send Zhanhuai into the city, which is to acquiesce in the relationship between Zhanhuai and the Huo family.
Huo Roufeng's heart moved violently, just before leaving Hangzhou, her sister and she were still taking great pains to take Su Li for their own use.
The reason why a small official is cultivated is not because the Huo family has no one in the court?
Of course, a few more small officials like Su Li need to be cultivated, which is capable and practical, but if there is a ...... like the Minguo Mansion
"Wuxi is not your Zhan's territory, what are you doing here? Do you want to hide people's eyes? Of course, you won't tell the truth, but our Huo family is just a merchant, why should we help you? What's in it for us? "Huo Roufeng is aggressive.
Zhanhuai's brows moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled a smile: "Does Huo Jiuye want to negotiate terms with me?" ”
Huo Roufeng said: "It's not about conditions, it's about business, the Huo family is just a small business, how can it be worthy of negotiating terms with the Fujian Mansion?" In business, the Huo family only talks about business. ”
Zhan Huai smiled lightly, Huo Xiaojiu is a little kid, his face is not red and his heart is not beating when he talks about the conditions, people in Hangzhou say that Huo Jiu is stubborn and a spoiled child, he almost believed it, if it wasn't for Lang Qing saying that Huo San's thing might have been done by Huo Jiu, he really almost forgot, although Huo Jiu is just an adopted son, but he grew up with Master Huo and Mrs. Huo, Master Huo can cultivate such a shrewd daughter of Mrs. Huo, how can he be negligent and lax for Huo Jiu, the only male?
"Huo Jiu, what conditions do you want?" He asked.
Huo Roufeng thought for a moment and said, "I don't need you to do anything for me now, I just want Zhang Lingzun's name." ”
The name of the Duke of Min?
This is the kind of face that has face in the first assistant of the current dynasty.
Zhanhuai didn't expect that Huo Jiu's appetite would be so big.
Take the name of the Duke of Min, and you can almost go from Jiangnan to the capital and swagger around.
"It has to be my father's? Is my eldest brother okay? He asked tentatively.
"No way!" Huo Roufeng flatly refused.
Zhanhuai clenched his fists, he suddenly wanted to bring the child in front of him over and beat him, how did Mrs. Huo teach her younger brother, she was too bold and had too much appetite.
But the current situation is that he must have an identity in Hangzhou that is not suspicious, and there is no better way than Huo Jiu.
In other words, Huo Jiu's conditions, he must agree.
"Huo Xiaojiu, why don't I give out the silver, you also said that you are talking about business, and you ...... with silver."
"No, you just want the name of the Duke of Min, just one piece, no two prices!" Huo Roufeng was categorical.
Zhanhuai looked at Huo Roufeng's eyes with blazing eyes, as if he wanted to see the depths of her eyes, this little kid was so hateful, he had never seen such a bad child.
He had already said that he wanted to take the name of the eldest brother, but Huo Jiu still refused to agree. The name of the dignified prince of Min Guo, Zhanchen, that is not something that can be asked for by any relationship, he happened to have it on him, and he wanted to give it to Huo Xiaojiu in vain, but people still didn't appreciate it.
"I don't have my father's name on me." He told the truth, not prevarication.
Huo Roufeng also guessed that he might not carry his father's name card with him, so he didn't delve into it, but said: "After a hundred years of the Fujian Mansion, there will definitely be some tokens representing the family on the children and grandchildren, don't say you don't have it, then I will definitely think that you picked it up." ”
Zhanhuai wanted to beat her again, you were the one who picked it up, and the whole Jiangnan knew that you picked it up, and you still dare to say me?
But he really can't see it like a child, he groaned for a while, and slowly took out a jade pendant from his arms: "You take this first, and when I return to Fujian, let people exchange my father's name post." ”
Huo Roufeng picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, only to see that the jade pendant was carved with a tiger descending the mountain, the jade was a good jade, but the carving was mediocre, and even a little rough, if this was a token of the Fujian Mansion, she didn't believe it, but if it was a family heirloom, it was a little possible.
