Huo Roufeng followed the chamberlain, walked through the red maple trees, and walked up a stone staircase, at the end of the stone staircase was a clearing, surrounded by a curtain tent, and dozens of brightly armored guards stood outside.

Huo Roufeng's heart moved, with such a big pomp, the people in the curtain tent may not only be the eldest princess Fangyi and the concubine Zhanyu.

The waiter whispered a few words to the people outside the curtain, and then flashed in, leaving Huo Roufeng alone, standing outside the curtain with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, waiting for about a cup of tea, a young man dressed as an entourage walked out of it, and said to Huo Roufeng: "This is Lord Huo, please inside." ”

The young man called her "Lord Huo", Huo Roufeng was a little uncomfortable with this new title, she, the sesame mung bean official from the seventh grade, was just a fictitious position, and she was only eleven years old, and even the people who came to congratulate her had never called her Lord Huo.

She hugged her fists and followed the young man into the curtain, and she was even more sure that the person who was going to see her today would not be the eldest princess Fangyi.

There is a long table with yellow pear carved cloud dragon pattern in the curtain, and there is a person sitting behind the long table, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a royal blue silk straight jacket, hair is not messy, curled up with white hostas, long eyebrows such as sideburns, a pair of eyes are foggy, the eyes are rippling, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, even if they are not smiling, they seem to have a peach blossom in their mouths.

Huo Roufeng recognized it as soon as she stepped into the tent, this was King Qing, she had seen it in Yongji Temple.

She was about to kneel, and King Qing smiled: "Okay, how can there be so many courtesies in the wilderness here, sit down and talk." ”

Huo Roufeng thanked him, and a waiter moved the stool, Huo Roufeng sat down, and swept around King Qing with a pair of big eyes.

King Qing asked, "You are strange, why don't you see the eldest princess?" ”

Huo Roufeng said: "Then it must be that the lower officials came too slowly, and the eldest princess left first." ”

King Qing didn't expect her to answer like this, laughed, and the other party said to the young man: "Listen, this is called a talker, no wonder the Queen Mother has a deep impression of him." ”

The young man bowed his head: "The Queen Mother's eyes." ”

King Qing smiled and said to Huo Roufeng: "You are right, the eldest princess still wants to enjoy the scenery, so she and the horse will go first, this king has always been an idler with nothing to do, and he has a lot of time to wait for you." ”

Huo Roufeng arched his hand: "The lower officials are not talented, let the prince wait for a long time." ”

King Qing was obviously very satisfied with her response, and pointed to the young man and said to Huo Roufeng: "His name is Su Qian, and he is the companion of this king." ”

Huo Roufeng hugged his fists at Su Qian, comprehending King Qing's words.

At this time, there were only three of them in the tent, and the reason why King Qing told her that Su Qian was his companion was to imply that Su Qian was someone who could be trusted.

King Qing looked Huo Roufeng up and down, with a smile on his lips, it didn't make people feel picky, on the contrary, there was a little appreciation in his eyes.

"Huo Jiu, that day in Yongji Temple, this king didn't look at you carefully, and now he finds out that you are really different from ordinary merchants."

Since Huo Roufeng had the official body from the seventh grade, no matter what others say, the Huo family is no longer a businessman, if these words are said from others, it will inevitably be a little disrespectful, but when this comes out of King Qing's mouth, the meaning is different.

Huo Roufeng said: "Xiaguan ancestor is a merchant, and Xiaguan is also a merchant before he has the gift of the saint. ”

King Qing said: "Your child can not only speak, but also know how to measure, this king likes it very much." ”

Huo Roufeng got up and thanked him, and a pair of wonderful eyes rolled on King Qing's face, and asked, "The prince has asked the lower officials to come over, but what do you have to order?" ”

King Qing took a sip of the teacup and asked, "Huo Jiu, what do you think this king will command?" ”

Huo Roufeng said: "Xia Guan doesn't know, but Xia Guan is waiting for the prince to give instructions, so that Xia Guan's family can gain a firm foothold in the capital, and they don't have to worry about being caught in prison." ”

She said that it was the case of the Wang family.

The smile on King Qing's face was even bigger, the Huo family was a smart person, and Huo Jiu was also a smart person, he liked to deal with smart people.

"Well, this king has not thought of what to tell you to do, and he will tell you when he remembers it."

When King Qing said this, Peach Blossom Blinked: "Huo Jiu, you are so confident, this king will use you?" ”

Huo Roufeng shook his head: "The lower officials have no confidence, and the lower officials don't want to be used, but ...... Xiaguan's family is a businessman, and businessmen are profitable and profitable, and Xiaguan will not miss it. ”

King Qing raised his delicate chin, squinted his eyes at Huo Roufeng, and after a while, he smiled and said, "The Huo family wants to be profitable?" Is this an official or a piece of silver? ”

Huo Roufeng said: "Does the prince know why our family came to the capital?" ”

King Qing looked at her with interest and said, "I have heard for a long time that Mrs. Huo is a female Tao Zhu, so she must want to make her business bigger and bigger." ”

Huo Roufeng shook his head: "Lord Wang, there are only two of us in our family, and no matter how big the business is, it is just enough to eat and drink." Since the prince called Huo Jiu over, he must have known that Peng Chengbo's Mansion had dealings with the Huo family's house. ”

King Qing raised his eyebrows, of course he knew that Huo Zixing and Huo San from the Huo family's house were now in the capital, and they had been to Pengchengbo's Mansion several times, but they were all bombarded out by Menzi.

Peng Chengbo's Mansion is the queen's maiden home, and the emperor stands behind the queen.

Huo Roufeng said again: "Our sister and brother are lonely, and we just want to keep the family business left by our father, so we will leave our hometown in Hangzhou and move to the capital. ”

The suspicion in King Qing's heart suddenly disappeared, so it was so, I heard that Huo Jiu was just the adopted son of the Huo family, presumably the Huo family room took advantage of the momentum of Peng Chengbo's mansion and wanted to swallow the big fortune of the second room as his own.

Peng Chengbo Mansion has an in-law in Hangzhou.

Since they can't afford to provoke Peng Chengbofu, they simply moved to the capital, as long as they can do business with the palace, they can have the opportunity to climb the princes and dignitaries, and only by making themselves strong can they keep their family business.

Huo Jiu is still a child after all, and in just a few words, he completely exposed his own purpose and weakness.

King Qing said to Su Qian: "This king is tired, you can send Huo Jiu out." ”

Huo Roufeng got up to say goodbye and followed Su Qian out of the curtain.

The two of them kept walking down the stone steps, Su Qian stopped, and looked at Huo Roufeng with heavy eyes: "Huo Jiu, don't mention today's matter to anyone, including the few people who came with you today." ”

Huo Roufeng learned from King Qing's appearance, and looked Su Qian up and down: "Are you a fool for me?" ”

Su Qian was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Huo Jiu......"

Huo Roufeng didn't wait for him to continue, and waved his hand at him: "Okay, I know, there is a sheep soup restaurant called Lao Cangzhou in the west of the city, when Brother Su wants to find me, just bring me a letter and wait for me there." ”

With that, she ran away.
