Chapter 42 The water is shining and the sun is good
Wearing a dark blue hooded cloak, he lowered his head, as if he wanted to hide his entire body in the cloak, and from Huo Roufeng's angle, he couldn't even see the side face of this person. The tall, burly old man walked in front of the man, as if deliberately trying to keep the man behind.
Huo Roufeng looked at the back of this person, the cloak swayed with the pace, even if it was hidden in the wide cloak, he could see the upright figure like a bamboo, Xiao Er was right, this person was still very young.
Although she didn't see this person's face, Huo Roufeng was still very happy, and of course she had to be happy to hear such a beautiful flute.
She sang a tune she had learned from Cai Qin in a ridiculous manner, and happily went fishing.
As soon as I walked to the embankment of the Taihu Lake stone pile on the side of the floating jade building, I saw a flat boat not far away was heading towards the center of the lake, and the oars were the old man, the man in the Xuanqing cloak was sitting on the bow of the boat, fiddling with a jade flute in his hand, but he did not blow it.
The sky was clear, and the spring sun was bright and bright, shining on the man's dark blue cloak, and all the brilliance seemed to be absorbed into it, and became soft and warm.
The lake water is clear, and the oars pass through, bringing up sparkling waves, reflecting on the person's body, the dark blue clothes seem to be transparent, as if they are wrapped in white glass, so good-looking that people can't take their eyes off.
Huo Roufeng touched the small bun on her head again, the eight southern pearls were still there, and none of them were lost, she suddenly wanted to look in the mirror, she was set off by these pearls, she should also look good.
When she came back from the Floating Jade Building that day, Huo Roufeng told Cai Qin that she wanted a dark blue cloak.
Cai Qin frowned: "Xuanqing is not good-looking, lifeless, you are still young, either wear joyful or refreshing, the ninth master wants to wear plain, the slave maid asked the embroidery workshop to sew you a few pieces of emerald green and lake blue, you will look good when you wear it." ”
Huo Roufeng puffed out her cheeks: "I want Xuan Cyan, the blackened kind!" ”
Cai Qin has to persuade again, Cai He quietly stretched her sleeves, signaling her not to be reluctant anymore, the ninth master is a donkey, and a child's heart, the more you don't agree, the more he has to be, if he really agrees, he may be left behind tomorrow.
Cai Qin pursed her lips and said helplessly: "Okay, good, then Xuanqing, the slave maid will let people pass the word to the embroidery workshop." ”
Huo Roufeng was satisfied, turned around and ran to find her sister, Jin Dou happily followed her behind her, and ran to the front yard with one person, one dog and one smoke.
Huo Rouyun was talking to the shopkeeper of Fuyulou, and when she saw her sticking her head out at the door, she beckoned to her: "Come, you listen too." ”
Huo Roufeng pursed her mouth, it was really unfortunate that she came, the floating jade building was her private property, did her sister want her to take over?
She sat down next to Huo Rouyun listlessly with her head drooping, her two calves dangling in the air, boredom swinging around.
She heard the shopkeeper of Fuyulou He say: "Uncle Lu sent someone today to book our family's private room in Haoyue for a month, and the subscription has been paid, but it is not decided when it will start." The person who came is the eldest entourage of the Lu family, I asked him privately, according to what he said is the noble relatives in the capital of the Lu family, when he came to Hangzhou last year, he was to the floating jade building, full of praise, the Lu family uncle voted for his favor, and the best hazy moon of the floating jade building was packed, specifically for this noble relative to enjoy the landscape lake. ”
Hearing this, Huo Rouyun glanced at her sister and saw that the little guy had already cheered up at some point, a pair of apricot eyes flickered, and his dense eyelashes moved like butterfly wings.
Huo Rouyun, as long as you don't mention business matters, the little guy will always be interested.
She said to Huo Roufeng: "What do you think? ”
Huo Roufeng sighed, I didn't expect my sister to suddenly let her express her opinion, she had never had it before, she was a child.
She cleared her throat and asked the shopkeeper He: "The Lu family is also an upstart, since their relatives came to the Fuyulou last year, can the shopkeeper have an imprint?" ”
Huo Rouyun nodded silently, the little guy saw things thoroughly, and he could get to the point as soon as he asked.
He shopkeeper said: "Don't hide it from the ninth master, although the Lu family has Pengcheng Bofu's relatives, but before this year, their family is not rich in money, like Haoyue, such a private room, it stands to reason that they can't book, I came to check the notebook on the cabinet last year, the Lu family did the east six times in the floating jade building, one of which was indeed in the Haoyue, there was only one guest, but it was to invite the two head cards of Yutang Chun to accompany each other, that day in the floating jade building was only a banquet spent a hundred taels of silver, the guest invited a mouthful of authentic official words, like from the capital, The two top names called him Mr. Blue. ”
Huo Roufeng was stunned, even Huo Rouyun was slightly surprised, before that, they all thought that the guest invited by the Lu family was from Peng Chengbo's mansion, maybe it was the third master of the Wang family who walked around most frequently with Master Lu.
Today's queen is surnamed Wang, and of course Pengcheng Bofu is also surnamed Wang.
But this person's surname is Lan.
Huo Roufeng looked at Shopkeeper He differently, she didn't expect Shopkeeper He to be so meticulous, in addition to the account book, there is also another notebook, and even last year's events are remembered clearly.
Of course, this book will not be exhaustive, but the Lu family is the in-law of Peng Chengbo's Mansion, and the shopkeeper He will pay more attention to it.
After Shopkeeper He left, Huo Roufeng said to his sister: "Sister, will Mr. Lan also have something to do with Peng Chengbo's Mansion?" I'm going to let people inquire about who there are in Pengchengbo's Mansion. ”
Peng Chengbofu is far away in the capital, and it is an upstart that has only sprung up in the past two years, and not many people in Hangzhou know about the affairs of the Wang family.
But it's not hard to ask.
It's not a secret that money can make ghosts grind.
In less than half a day, An Hai asked people to inquire about the news from the Lu family.
Queen Wang has two brothers, one brother, she loves this brother very much, this is the third master of the Wang family. She also has three sisters-in-law and a sister born to her stepmother, who is only twelve years old this year.
Although these four sisters are not from the same mother as her, they are all very fond of her, and often call them into the palace to gossip.
Except for the youngest Wang Wuniang, the other three are all married, and there is no one surnamed Lan among the sons-in-law.
In other words, this Mr. Lan is neither a direct member of the Wang family nor an uncle.
The reason why Master Lu wants to do business with Huo Zixing is not because of Huo Zixing, but because of the second room of the Huo family, which is in the same vein as Huo Zixing; Huo Zixing wants to catch up with the third master of the Wang family, and he also intends to have the second room of the Huo family.
Now Huo Zixing is at the end of the crossbow, but the second room of the Huo family has long been in the eyes of the Wang family and the Lu family.
No matter how rich the second room is, they are also merchants; No matter how clever Mrs. Huo is, she is only a woman less than twenty years old; Although Huo Roufeng bears the name of the ninth master, she is only an adopted son.
In the eyes of others, the second room of the Huo family is still a big fortune.
If the Huo family sisters want to keep their family business, they must be vigilant and know themselves and their opponents.
