Chapter 55: Youthful Spirits and Spring Struggle
Zhan Huaizhong walked in front of Fu Mingyang again, looked at it silently for a long time, turned around and walked out, and said to Geng Suo and Geng Yi as he walked: "The old way." ”
Early the next morning, Zhanhuai changed into a goose yellow embroidered with water ripples and went shopping, there are really not many people who don't know him on the streets of Wuxi these days, the steward of the Huo family of Yongfeng has already said, this is their ninth master's friend Yang Gongzi.
Although everyone knows that Huo Jiuye is just an adopted son, everyone also knows that he is the only male in the second room of the Huo family.
The few businesses in Wuxi all have dealings with Yongfeng, and they all know how precious Huo Jiu is in Miss Huo.
Therefore, the identity of this Yang Gongzi has also become the talk of Wuxi businessmen after tea and dinner in the past few days.
Song Erye of Song Ji Mixing stroked his beard and said to Song Sanye on the side: "That person is speaking official language, but he is not a Beijing film, it shouldn't be a member of the Wuhu Yang family, I remember that one of the Wuhu Yang family moved back from Beizhili only a few years ago." ”
Song Sanye thought for a while and said: "What about the Yang family in Luoyang, there are a few brothers in their family who are the same age as this Yang Gongzi, and Huo Jiu is pampered, I heard that there are not many people in Hangzhou who have seen him, how did the people of the Yang family in Wuhu get in touch with Huo Jiu?" However, in the early years, the Yang family in Luoyang had the intention of marrying the Huo family, second brother, have you forgotten? ”
As soon as Song Sanye said this, Song Erye also remembered, in the early years, the Luoyang Yang family also wanted to insert a foot in the four rice markets, and also entrusted the matchmaker to Hangzhou, wanting to marry Mrs. Huo, but the matchmaker just walked halfway, and the news of the death of Master Huo came, and the matter of proposing relatives was over, this matter is not known to others, the Song family, who also does the rice shop business, is clear, and of course he has breathed a sigh of relief, if it is the marriage of the Yang family in Luoyang and Yongfeng, it is to introduce wolves into the city of Wuxi rice market.
"Master Huo's filial piety period has expired, and Mrs. Huo is not young, should the Yang family want to repeat the old tricks? But now it's not as good as before, in the past, Mrs. Huo was just the daughter of the Huo family, but now she is at the helm of the Yongfeng, Huo Jiu is only eleven years old, Mrs. Huo will never give way at this time, unless she doesn't marry, she can only recruit money, can the Yang family in Luoyang really give up a son? How old is that Yang Gongzi and what does he look like? Second Master Song asked.
Song Sanye said: "I happened to be on Jian'an Street that day, and people saw it. At most, he is fourteen or fifteen years old, he looks very good, and he also has a style, not to mention the Yang family in Luoyang, even the official eunuchs. ”
Second Master Song frowned: "Fourteen or fifteen years old? How old is Mrs. Huo? Nineteen? Twenty? This...... This Yang family is really willing. ”
Song Sanye sighed, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and asked, "Second brother, if you let our brother Song give the Huo family a burden, are you willing to do it?" ”
Second Master Song was stunned, but he immediately understood what his younger brother meant, he pondered for a while, and said to Third Master Song: "Brother Song'er is too soft, and it is inevitable that he will be suppressed by Huo Jiu when he arrives at the Huo family, but Brother Shen is more suitable, although he is only fifteen years old, he has been assertive since he was a child." ”
Song Sanye thought for a while and shook his head: "Brother Shen is good, but after all, he is not a descendant, I'm afraid the Huo family can't look down on it, right?" ”
Second Master Song snorted and said to his younger brother, "Huo Jiu still brought it?" But what can Huo's family do to him, isn't he watching from the sidelines? People are on the family tree! Although Brother Shen is a concubine, he is also your biological son, if this matter is really discussed, I will go and tell the clan and record him in the name of the Guo family. ”
Guo is the wife of Song Sanye, and she has a strong temperament, so over the years, none of the three concubines under Song Sanye's knees has been eye-catching.
Now that I heard that the second brother was willing to come forward, Song Sanye's eyes lit up. What's the point of getting rich? The children of merchants do not expect to be able to gain fame, besides, according to the law of this dynasty, after three generations, they can choose a son to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and the Song family has no shortage of this son.
Sending out a concubine in exchange for a daughter-in-law like Huo Da Niang, even if Huo Jiu grows up and supports the door, it is also the in-law of the Song family.
When Song Sanye came out of Song Erye's yard, his feet were like wind, and he first asked people to prepare twenty-four colored gifts, and when the gifts were ready, he felt that it was inappropriate.
Huo Jiu is only ten or eleven years old, he is still a child, besides, Huo Jiu grew up in the golden nest and silver nest, what good things are not there, what good things have not been seen? Although these twenty-four colored gifts are heavy, in Huo Jiu's eyes, they may not be as good as a cricket.
"Go and go, go to the shop of the Yongfeng and inquire carefully, what are Huo Jiu's preferences, go quickly!" Song Sanye commanded.
Although the Huo family is far away in Hangzhou, these shops in Wuxi have been for many years, and the Song family and the Huo family can be regarded as a friendship between two generations, and the shopkeepers and guys also have a lot of contacts, so it was only one afternoon to inquire about Huo Jiu's affairs.
The next day, Song Sanye personally took Song Song and Song Shen to the Huo family's Zhuangzi on the edge of Taihu Lake.
Song Song is in the second room, Song Erye's third son, sixteen years old this year, and Song Shen is Song Sanye's concubine, fifteen years old this year.
Huo Roufeng wore a soft muslin dress, the cuffs were rolled up high, revealing a tender lotus-like arm, she had just come back from swimming by the lake, her hair was still stained with water beads, a small face was white and red, like a begonia blooming, a pair of big eyes were black and white, bright as the West Lake water in spring.
Song Song and Song Shen were stunned, they had already heard of the Huo family's old nine, in their imagination, Huo Jiu should be a naughty child with a bit of a look, either stupid and fat, or just a leather monkey.
But they never expected that Huo Jiu in front of them would be a radiant and crystal clear jade figure.
Song Sanye didn't expect Huo Jiu to be like this, he had seen Huo Jiu once, that time Master Huo came to Wuxi, he and his second brother came to visit, and just saw a daughter-in-law holding a six or seven-year-old child, a group of maids and women coaxed with toys, the child cried so much that the sky was falling apart, no matter how to coax it.
At that time, Song Sanye was still thinking, for a lifetime, there is nothing and no son, just like this Huo master, known as the God of Wealth in Jiangnan, but not only is there a son, but he comes back with an adopted son, he is still a stubborn character, and they have more than a dozen sons and daughters of the Song family, and none of them are so naughty.
But now the Huo Jiu in front of him is completely different from what he remembers, but it is not surprising that Huo Jiu was only a six or seven-year-old child at that time, and he was a little arrogant with Master Huo pampering him. Now that they have experienced the change of losing their father, the two sisters and brothers depend on each other, and it is normal to grow up and be sensible.
