Chapter 278: The Huo Family

Huo Roufeng suddenly became interested, Zhanhuai's ancestors, that is, the first generation of Min Guogong and Mrs. Gao, all the things in that small building are theirs, and there may be things from the mother.

She immediately stood up and said to Zhanhuai, "Can you take me to see it?" ”

Zhan Huai smiled and said: "You spare me, the first time I walked into that small building, every time Gui Bo saw an object, he had to tell me about the great achievements of the Guogong Mansion, and by the way, he would inspire me again, now as long as I see those objects, I will remember the way my father taught me, alas, I will let Gui Bo accompany you, okay?" ”

Huo Roufeng laughed, pointed at Zhanhuai and said, "Why are you like this, it's just some objects, and it's not your father standing there." ”

Having said that, she patted Zhanhuai's shoulder with great understanding, and then followed Gui Bo and walked happily.

Seeing her leave, the smile on Zhanhuai's face gradually subsided, he called Geng Yi and Geng Suo, and said in a deep voice: "Go, go to Huojiang Mansion." ”

Geng Yi and Geng Suo are a little strange, Huo Jiuye is still in the Guogong Mansion, doesn't his fifth master have to play with Huo Jiuye?

But they didn't dare to ask more, and the two accompanied Zhanhuai out of the Guogong Mansion through the back door and went to Huo Jiang's house.

The little donkey cart stopped half a street away from Huofu and took refuge in a deserted alley.

Geng Yi took out a coarse cloth robe that had been prepared from the donkey cart, trotted to the back door of Huofu, and before he knocked on the door, he saw a middle-aged man coming out of it, looking at his dress, like a small businessman, the man scolded as he walked: "It's still a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy, and no one even settles the small account of five taels of silver, and I'm not afraid of making people laugh off their big teeth!" ”

Geng Yi was stunned, and when he saw the door closing behind the man, he stopped the man and asked, "Brother, are you also here to settle the bill?" Did you give it? ”

The man glanced at him, and saw that he was five big and three thick, and he was dressed in coarse cloth, so he thought he was a guy in which shop, and said: "What a fart, my shop is in front, and the people who live near here are all officials, and the sporadic oil, salt, sauce and vinegar on weekdays are taken in my shop, and every family is bookkeeping first, and come to settle the account at the end of the month, my shop has been open for 30 years, unless it is an official who commits a crime and is exiled to the army, and there is no one who does not settle the bill, people want to face trees and bark, and who is an official still doesn't want face. But you see. ”

Speaking of this, the man took out a bill from his arms and continued: "It's almost the New Year, my shop is closed on the twentieth day of the lunar month, and I will come to settle the bill at that time. ”

The man was obviously angry, his eyes widened, and his voice became louder and louder: "Little brother, have you ever seen anything like this?" Don't talk about you, I haven't seen you until I live to be in my forties, this is too shameless, and what about the second-grade master's house, your housekeeper was sold, and it wasn't your master who was distributed, and he didn't settle the bill? There are so many families on this street, it is their family that buys the least things, such a Huo family's east mansion, it is only five taels of silver when it is full, and the west mansion is not as big as their family's officials, and there are at least twenty taels of silver a month. People settled the bill early, not only settled the bill, but also gave one or two more, saying that it was an auspicious New Year's picture and a double number. ”

Speaking of this, the man turned around again, pointed to the back door of the Huo family and scolded, all of which were market slang, and the more he scolded, the more ugly it became.

Geng Yi hurriedly pulled him aside and persuaded: "Brother, don't scold so loudly, people are officials, we can't afford to provoke them." ”

"What can't I provoke, their family dares to arrest me, I will let the entire capital know that Huo Dazhuangyuan's family owes five taels of silver and does not give it, when the time comes, it is me, the one who runs the grocery store, or the house of the second-class master of their family."

Geng Yi stuck out his tongue, this is really ...... I think that when Huo Jiang was an elder of the pavilion, he owed five taels of silver, who would run to the door to ask for the account for five taels of silver, just like the owner of the grocery store in front of him, maybe he would rush over and take out the silver to take out the Huo family's stewardship, but now, it was just a flat-headed person who dared to scold in front of the Huo family.

Geng Yi persuaded: "I also heard that Jia Liang's family, who was originally in charge of procurement, was sold by the owner, and the procurement at this time is all new, maybe it is not clear about the old account, the old brother is angry, go back and come again, such a big Huo family Dongfu, I don't think it will make people poke the backbone for five taels of silver." ”

The man sighed and said, "Little brother, you don't know, the people of the Huo family are really not easy to talk to, you push me, I push you, five taels of silver is more difficult than fifty taels, I don't know who to ask for now." ”

After saying that, he sighed and walked away.

Geng Yi shook his head, how could the Huo family be like this, he had seen Huo Jiang, a meticulous person, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he had made the back house of the family into a mess of porridge.

Grandpa Guo and his old man never asked about the affairs of the house, and once someone asked him if he could replace the trees in Luming Park, saying that the deer there gnawed all day long, and the trees were about to die. Grandpa Guo was so curious that he asked, "Are there still deer in the house?" How did I not know? ”

Those deer had been raised for many years, and he had never noticed them.

But even so, the Zhan family is also well organized, which is like the Huo family.

Geng Yi had no choice but to call the door, and this time an old man came out, who looked like he should be in his sixties.

Geng Yi smiled and asked: "My mother-in-law has stayed in your mansion for the past few days, and the children at home are making trouble, I want to take her back, and I should go back to see it after the New Year." ”

Those deer had been raised for many years, and he had never noticed them.

Geng Yi smiled and asked: "My mother-in-law has stayed in your house for the past few days, and the children at home are making a fuss, I want to take her back, and besides, I should go back to see it for the New Year." ”
