Chapter Thirty-Eight: Spring Grows Everywhere
The next day was a sunny day, Huo Roufeng set off back to Hangzhou at dawn, and Zhang Shengping picked two clever guards to stay in Ningbo.
As soon as Zhan Huai got up, Lang Qing came to tell him: "Huo Jiu has already left, and the guys in the inn muttered and were heard by his subordinates. ”
Zhanhuai asked curiously, "Muttering what?" ”
Lang Qing said: "They said that the little ancestor is finally gone, and if he stays for a few more days, the shopkeeper's hair will turn gray." ”
Zhan Huai laughed when he heard this, Huo Jiuzhen was lost in this inn, and the shopkeeper's death was not enough.
After laughing enough, he found that Lang Qing and Hua Siniang were staring at him with big eyes, he restrained his smile, sighed, and said, "Fifth Master is just a little fun." ”
The two of them didn't dare to answer, they have been with the fifth master for a few years, and the Guogong Mansion looks beautiful, but in fact, they know their suffering.
No wonder the fifth master likes to tease that Huo Jiu, maybe it's envy. If the fifth master was reincarnated in an ordinary big family, and now he is like Huo Jiu, it is the time to be naughty and naughty, raise a dog and tease the birds, just wait for his father and brother to find him an errand.
But the men of the Zhan family can't do it, the men of the Zhan family are all iron-clad, men are like this, and women are the same.
Two days later, Huo Zixing finally waited for Huo San and ten carts of dried seafood.
In the past few days, Huo Zixing trembled with anger as long as he remembered that Master Lu left him and ran to the capital.
Fortunately, there is still this batch of goods, this batch of goods arrives, you can make up the previous payment, and there can be a sum of silver into the account, he has already decided, he can't wait for Master Lu to return to Hangzhou, he wants to go to the capital alone, to Pengcheng Bofu to see the third master of the Wang family.
Huo San was in the first two miles of the city, and he saw that Huo Wu had brought someone to pick him up, he slapped Huo Wu on the shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Dad, are you in a hurry?" ”
Huo Wu sighed: "Can you not be in a hurry?" was put in such a position by the Lu family, big brother, be careful when you get home, my father has a bad temper for a while. ”
Huo San didn't think so, he brought this batch of goods back to Hangzhou smoothly, such a big deal was made by him, who will be able to compare to him in the long house in the future? Even Huo Rouyun's girls didn't dare to underestimate him.
As soon as he thought of Huo Rouyun, Huo San was full of fighting spirit.
God has eyes, so that the second room can't give birth to a son, no matter how capable Huo Rouyun is, she is also a woman, although Huo Jiu is a son, she is a wild species.
He was so satisfied that he marched into the city with his head held high.
Chang Sheng saw his triumphant appearance, and his heart was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, how should he tell the second master.
Huo San returned to the mansion, bathed and changed clothes, and took one hundred taels of the kickback silver obtained this time and handed it to his wife You Shi.
The You family has a tea mountain, there are more than a dozen tea shops in the south of the Yangtze River, when the You family got married, he married a 500 acres of Zhuangzi and five shops, although these five shops are not as good as the You family's own ones, but there are also one or two thousand taels of income every year. You Shi eats, wears and chews his own silver, and he doesn't need the Huo family to do anything, but Huo San has to ask You for silver every three or five days, and You Shi's dowry mother told the You family about it, so Huo San couldn't raise his head in front of his father-in-law. Now that he has made money, he wants to be embarrassed in front of his wife.
You Shi took the silver ticket, but her eyebrows were twisted, she pulled Huo San's sleeve and asked, "Where did this money come from?" ”
Huo San looked around at no one, lowered his voice and said, "You don't care about this, in short, the wool is out of the sheep." ”
You was born in a merchant, how could she not know the Tao of this, she understood as soon as she heard it, grabbed Huo San, and said anxiously: "Third master, this time there is Chang Sheng to follow, if my father knows......"
"Afraid of what? Chang Sheng's guy has been taught me a few times, and now he is honest, and he doesn't know about it, you just have to put away the money. ”
You Shi didn't know how much benefit Huo San took from it, but Chang Sheng also intervened in this business, and it was snatched from You's family, if he really let his father-in-law know that Huo San took kickbacks from it, he would definitely think that she instigated it.
But Huo San didn't listen at all, she said a few more words, and Huo San said impatiently: "I still don't want you to be more decent in your mother's family?" Why are you so ignorant? ”
It's her business.
You Shi was so angry that he was about to say more, Huo San turned around and entered Tongfang Yuemei's house, leaving You Shi there alone.
Huo Roufeng only returned to Hangzhou half a day later than Huo San, she pretended to be a small girl, mixed with Zhang Shengping and his colleagues, and quietly entered the Huang Courtyard, Cai Qin saw her, grabbed her clothes, looked at her from head to toe, turned her over and looked again, and finally her eyes fell on a sock exposed on her foot.
"What's in this sock?" Cai Qin asked.
Huo Roufeng smiled and gave Caiqin a thumbs up: "Good eyesight, you can see it through your socks." ”
Cai Qin ignored her, carried her to the couch, took off her shoes and socks three or two times, and saw the medicinal cloth wrapped on the soles of her feet.
"What's going on?" Cai Qin asked in a trembling voice.
"It's okay, it's just that the stone is broken, and it won't hurt for a long time." Huo Roufeng said with a smile.
Cai Qin didn't listen to her, and immediately asked people to ask Yanshoutang to ask for a doctor.
The result can be imagined, the entire Liuxi Lane was alarmed, and the ninth master was injured!
Huo Rouyun came back from outside, and as soon as she entered the door, she heard about it, and she came to Huo Roufeng without even changing her clothes.
Huo Roufeng had already returned to the courtyard where she lived, sitting on the bed with a brocade quilt and a pillow, and there were more than 20 maids and maids standing inside and outside the house.
Huo Rouyun looked at the courtyard full of people, snorted coldly, and Cai Qin hurriedly lowered her head.
The eldest lady's cold snort contains too much, eight or nine times out of ten. The eldest lady already knows about the ninth master's departure from the house.
Huo Roufeng's voice sounded in the room: "Sister, come quickly, I want to kill you, I have a lot to tell you." ”
The coldness on Huo Rouyun's face disappeared, and the eyebrows under her eyes were full of smiles, as if nothing had happened before, she sat down in front of the bed, picked out a plum candy from the box on the small table and put it in her mouth, and asked, "You little monkey, what fun things have you encountered again?" ”
"Sister, Ningbo Mansion has an eight-grade experience, and she is the concubine of the Su family in Jiaxing, named Su Li, and she was born in the same Jinshi......"
She told Huo Rouyun about Su Li's daughter.
Huo Rouyun frowned slightly, patiently listened to her sister talk about this person, and said without thinking: "I know what you mean, although our family is rich, but there is no one in the officialdom, and the people are thin, sooner or later it will be difficult, and the big officials in the capital are difficult to talk about for a while, and now the top priority is to support someone who can do things, but unfortunately this Su Li is only from the same Jinshi, and it is difficult to be promoted to the next level." ”
Of course, Huo Roufeng also knows the difference between Jinshi and Tongjinshi, Jinshi is like a wife, and Tongjinshi is like a concubine.
She said: "Tong Jinshi is the official of Beijing, there are in the previous dynasty, there are also in this dynasty, sister, we don't have to worry about this matter, as long as he is promoted to the seventh rank, the people of the Su family in the capital will naturally help." ”
Huo Rouyun looked at her sister deeply, and said after a long time: "Okay, I'll send someone to Jiaxing." ”
Huo Roufeng breathed a sigh of relief, my sister said that she was going to Jiaxing, not Ningbo.
