At this moment, Zhanhuai wanted to see Huo Roufeng, so he came back from East Road, carried two New Year's money, and went out in his little donkey cart.

Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the shops on the side of the road have not yet opened, so Zhanhuai walked around the street and returned to the Guogong Mansion empty-handed.

It's lunchtime, seeing him come back, Aunt Sikong came in with a food box, there are only about a dozen people serving on the West Road, since Zhanhuai came to the capital, Aunt Sikong has set up a small kitchen, not to let people in the big kitchen come in, and Zhanhuai's porridge and rice are taken care of by Aunt Sikong herself.

Aunt Sikong put the food in the food box on the round table, Zhanhuai saw a bowl of flat meat swallows, her eyes lit up, and asked, "You cook another bowl, I'll take it away." ”

Aunt Sikong smiled: "The meat swallow must be freshly cooked to be delicious, and it won't taste good if you take it out for a long time." ”

Zhanhuai thought about it, and muttered in his heart, this is only available in Fujian, Xiao Jiu must not have eaten it.

He thought for a while and asked Aunt Sikong: "There is a cook in the Guogong Mansion in Fujian, who is from Zhangzhou, and his wife likes to eat the noodles he makes the most, will you do it?" ”

Aunt Sikong said: "How could it not? A while ago, the second master wanted to eat, and the old woman made it for him once, but the old woman just painted the scoop according to the picture, and I don't know how much worse it was than the cook in the Fujian Mansion. ”

Hearing this, Zhanhuai hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, you just do it, and then make some fried dumplings with the stuffing of meat swallows, and I'll take them with you." ”

So an hour later, Zhanhuai got on the little donkey cart again and went to Shuangjing Hutong happily.

Shuangjing Hutong is very lively, there are cars and sedan chairs coming and going, Zhanhuai asked Geng Suo to park the little donkey cart not far away, Geng Yi trotted in, Zhanhuai poked his head out of the donkey cart, and watched the people coming in and out of Huo's house with great interest.

Looking at the clothes, some of them look like the shopkeepers in the shop, and some of them look like they are in the Zhuangzi, and there are two women, both of whom are in their thirties and forties, without wearing hats, holding their heads high, and walking calmly, unlike the caution of ordinary women.

Zhanhuai had heard Huo Roufeng say that there was a woman in Yongfeng as the big shopkeeper, looking at these two women, maybe they were the female shopkeeper that Huo Roufeng said.

They are not ordinary shopkeepers, but big shopkeepers, Zhanhuai has heard people say, from apprentices to big shopkeepers, less than ten years, more than twenty or thirty years, looking at the age of these female shopkeepers, they should have been in Yongfeng for many years, and when Master Huo was still there, they were there.

Zhanhuai couldn't help but have reverence for the old man Huo who had never met, although the old man Huo was a businessman, but he had a mind and vision, and was not bound by the world, I am afraid that the north and south of the river will never find a family that can make a woman feel good in his shop, and promote without sticking to one pattern.

Zhan Huai felt more and more regretful, but it was a pity that he met Xiao Jiu too late, and Master Huo had already passed away, otherwise he really wanted to get acquainted with this senior.

Only such a broad-minded person can raise daughters like Mrs. Huo and Xiao Jiu.

Zhanhuai was thinking about it, and saw Geng Yi running back: "Fifth Master, Huo Jiuye is not in the mansion." ”

"Not there? Did you get it clear? Did the men find an excuse to send you out? Zhan Huai asked, he remembered that Huo Roufeng said that the doors of Shuangjing Hutong were all purchased after coming to the capital, unless they were acquaintances or Yongfeng, it was difficult to enter the door.

Geng Yi said: "The little brother lived in Shuangjing Hutong for a few days, followed An Hai in and out, and told the people in the house that we were from Huo Jiuye's house, and the disciples all knew us, thinking that we were Huo Jiuye's people, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Zhanhuai remembered that when Jinyiwei went to Gaosheng Hutong to arrest him, the Geng brothers were arrested together with An Hai, claiming to be from the Huo family, and after coming out, in order to hide people's eyes, they lived in Shuangjing Hutong for a few days.

He asked, "Did the disciples say where Huo Jiuye went?" ”

"Yes, they said that early in the morning, Huo Jiuye took Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan to Yongji Temple, Jiuye was very happy, and said that when he came back, he brought them pea yellow to eat, so everyone in the gatehouse knew that Huo Jiuye was going to Yongji Temple."

In the whole capital, the pea yellow outside the Yongji Temple is the most delicious.

"Went to Yongji Temple?" Zhan Huai suddenly felt sweet in his heart, yesterday he wanted Xiao Jiu to give him a token, he knew that Xiao Jiu knew the abbot of Yongji Temple, so he coaxed her to say that she wanted a peace card of the great monk of Yongji Temple, he didn't expect to say yesterday, Xiao Jiu will go to Yongji Temple today.

In Xiao Jiu's heart, he is also a different existence from others.

"Fifth master, do you think you should continue to wait, or come back tomorrow, from Shuangjing Hutong to Yongji Temple, even if you go fast, you will not be able to come back in the evening." Geng Yi asked.

Zhanhuai's heart was like smearing honey, and he handed over the food box containing fried noodles and fried dumplings to Geng Yi: "Leave this and give it to Cai Qin, just say that Yang Gongzi asked you to bring it." ”

Although Cai Qin didn't want to see him, the girl wouldn't throw out the things he sent, at most she rolled her eyes.

Since Zhan Huai knew that Huo Roufeng was a woman, he no longer took it seriously with Cai Qin's eyes, Cai Qin did it right, it should be like this.

The little donkey cart turned around, and when he was about to leave, Geng Suo, who was driving the car, said through the curtain: "Ninth Master, that is Jia Liang who used to be in Lord Huo's mansion." ”

Zhanhuai was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered who Master Huo was in Geng Suo's mouth. He lifted the corner of the curtain and looked over, and followed the direction pointed by Geng Suo, and saw a middle-aged man, standing on tiptoe, looking towards the gate of the Huo family.

"Huojiang Mansion? How do you meet? Zhanhuai asked.

Geng Yi on the side took over the conversation: "Huo Jiuye seems to have asked him to run errands, one day half of the street saw Jia Liang chasing Zhang Ting's car, didn't you let us pay attention to the affairs of Huo Jiang's mansion?" This matter spread one after another, and Jia Liang's son caused trouble again, the old lady Feng of the Huo family was angry, and sold Jia Liang's family at the end of the year, as for where it was sold, we don't know, it seems that it was not sold far away, Jia Liang is still in the capital. ”

Zhan Huai frowned slightly, and couldn't help but look at Jia Liang again, only to see Jia Liang shrinking his shoulders and taking small steps towards the back door of the Huo family.

Zhan Huai made a look, Geng Yi quietly followed behind, and after a while, Geng Yi came back and said to Zhan Huai: "Jia Liang asked to see Huo Jiuye, and said that if Huo Jiuye didn't want to see him, Brother Zhang Ting would be fine." The doorman at the back door obviously didn't know that Huo Jiuye was not there, so he went in and asked, and after a while, he came out with Zhang Shengping, Zhang Shengping is Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan's uncle, his martial arts are excellent, and his eyesight is also strong, so he was worried that he would find out, so he came back first. ”

Zhanhuai knows Zhang Shengping, Zhang Shengping is very important in front of Huo Roufeng, it stands to reason that a lost dog like Jia Liang, let alone Zhang Shengping, even Zhang Ting can't see it, but now that Zhang Shengping actually came out in person, there must be something wrong here.
