Huo Roufeng held his head high, his chin raised, his eyelids drooped slightly, although he was facing Zhao Xu, his eyes did not look at him when he spoke.

Huo Roufeng's face still had the innocence of the child, Zhao Xu felt a depressing aura coming towards him, and the one in front of him was obviously just a chubby child, but that expression was like a high-ranking master, which made him breathless.

Huo Roufeng raised her eyes, and when she saw Zhao Xu's stunned expression, she couldn't help laughing.

As an official of the household department, he thought that all the merchants were coming and leaving as soon as he was called, and without careful consideration, he recklessly called the Huo family over, and now he sees that she is a child, and even the official authority is like a robber.

She gave Zhao Xu a deep salute and smiled brightly: "The grass people don't dare to make decisions about the grain and grass and military salaries, so they want to go back and discuss with their sisters, and ask Zhao Ge to forgive their sins." ”

She suddenly changed from aggressive to humble and respectful, Zhao Xu couldn't adapt for a while, and was stunned for a moment before he said with a calm face: "This matter can't be delayed for too long, let's talk back within three days." ”

Huo Roufeng shook his head: "Three days is not good, if Zhao Ge Lao will take three days, then it is better to behead our Huo family." ”

The eleven-year-old child has not changed his voice, with a milky voice, soft and glutinous, but the words he says are categorical and non-negotiable.

Zhao Xu didn't understand where Huo Jiu got his confidence from, could it be the Queen Mother?

It is said that Huo Jiu has seen the Queen Mother, but he has not heard of any movement in Cining Palace in the past few days, could it be that the Queen Mother has looked for the Huo family in private?

I think this is the reason, otherwise Huo Jiu, a child of a merchant family, has neither a family nor a father and brother, how can he dare to contradict the elder of the pavilion?

Zhao Xu took a deep breath, unwilling to entangle with Huo Jiu in this matter, he said: "Then it will be five days, and after five days, the Huo family must prepare the silver." ”

Huo Roufeng laughed with a puff: "As an official of the household department, doesn't Zhao Ge know that private people can't make silver?" My Huo family just wants to smash the pot and sell iron, and no one can take out so much silver to collect the rags at once, not for five days. ”

It's too much, the Huo family is too much.

No, it's the Queen Mother, and this is all instructed by the Queen Mother.

But what can be done, if the queen mother can be overthrown, the emperor does not have to be fascinated all day long to become a monk.

If the Huo family's confidence comes from the Queen Mother, Zhao Xu is not afraid, they have often fought with the Queen Mother Party over the years, and each has its own winners and losers, not to mention that the Huo family is just a small businessman.

But the matter in front of him came too suddenly, before that, both he and Guo Yong thought that the children of the Huo family were just sick and went to the hospital to sue the queen mother, and Cining Palace had not moved since that day, so they thought that the queen mother did not intervene in this matter.

But now everything has changed, and he has to make a good calculation with Guo Yong.

"Not for five days? How long will it take you? He asked.

Huo Roufeng grinned: "Ten days, ten days later, the Huo family will give an explanation to the people of the world." ”

She is talking about the people of the world, not the emperor, and not the Zhao Xu in front of her.

But Zhao Xu has no intention of tasting her words carefully, whether it is ten days or five days, it is just a number, the Huo family is just a merchant, this is not something they can decide.

"You go back first, this matter can't be delayed for too long, otherwise don't blame the official for being impartial and severely punished."

Huo Roufeng smiled and hugged his fists, and left the Zhao Mansion with Ma Taixing.

When he arrived at the carriage, Ma Taixing wiped a cold sweat and said to Huo Roufeng: "Ninth Master, you scared me to death." ”

Huo Roufeng said with a smile: "Don't be scared to death, I heard that the banquet in Tianxianglou is not very expensive." ”

Ma Taixing remembered that he lost the bet, and immediately laughed: "The ninth master is lucky to gamble." ”

Coming back from Tianxianglou, Huo Roufeng went to see Mrs. Huo, who was reading the letter, and when she saw her coming, she didn't ask about today's affairs in the Zhao family, but pulled her over: "Who do you guess this letter came from?" ”

Huo Roufeng thought for a while: "Su Li? ”

Mrs. Huo smiled and nodded: "It's so smart, it's Su Li." ”

She handed the letter to Huo Roufeng, Huo Roufeng read it at a glance, Su Li thanked the Huo family for finding a good doctor in the letter, and now her daughter is in good condition, Mrs. Su took her daughter to leave Hangzhou and go to Wuxi to reunite with him.

Huo Roufeng was overjoyed: "Miss Su's illness is cured?" Oops, Roger is really capable. ”

Mrs. Huo said: "Su Li only said that her daughter's condition was very good, and she didn't say that she could go to the root, maybe this disease can't be rooted, but it is already a happy event if it can get better." ”

Huo Roufeng nodded, a little regretful: "It's a pity that my sister hasn't seen Roger, he is different from other doctors, and now Mrs. Su is going to Wuxi with her daughter, and Roger is afraid that he will also leave." ”

Mrs. Huo said: "It's okay, I have already ordered it before, no matter whether Miss Su's illness can be cured or not, I will give Roger three thousand taels of silver, and if it is cured, add another one thousand taels." ”

This is the merchant, and the silver is clear.

Huo Roufeng said with a smile: "I hope I can see him in the future, alas, sister, when you see him, you will know that there is nothing strange in this world." ”

The sisters cooed and laughed for a while, and Huo Roufeng told the process of meeting Zhao Xu again.

Mrs. Huo: "It looks like it's really as you planned, he thinks we have the queen mother behind us." ”

"Of course, the more we haven't moved these days, the more they feel that we are brewing big things, including the Queen Mother, who is about to get sick at home these days."

She said exaggeratedly, like twisting a twist on Mrs. Huo's body.

Mrs. Huo pushed her away: "Who has a child as old as you, and still pesters his sister all day long?" ”

"That's because they don't have a good sister, hehe, sister is the best." As he spoke, he fell towards Mrs. Huo, so frightened that Mrs. Huo hurriedly used a pillow to block in front of her.

Huo Roufeng leaned on the pillow and asked, "Sister, in addition to 100,000 taels of silver, they also need 200,000 loads of grain and grass." ”

The budget of the Huo family is only 100,000 taels of silver, and the 200,000 loads of grain and grass cannot be given by the Huo family.

Mrs. Huo said, "What do you say? ”

Huo Roufeng thought for a while: "Sister, if you believe me, leave this matter to me, and I'll handle it." ”

Mrs. Huo looked at her with heavy eyes, and only said for a while: "This time it is a big event, different from those things in the day and the long house, a little careless......"

She paused at this point: "Even if we don't have these 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 loads of grain and grass, our Huo family will not be able to escape the luck of being a scapegoat for the queen. ”

"You go and do it, I'll call a few more people to help you, I'm in the backyard, you can come and ask me at any time."

Huo Roufeng's heart trembled, she sat down next to her sister, and asked softly, "Sister, are you really not afraid that I will mess things up?" ”
