Chapter 242: Greeting the New Year

At this time, Roger came in, clasped his fists at everyone, and said, "I'm sorry, there is something going on at home, I have to say goodbye first." ”

Huo Roufeng was stunned, Roger has no relatives and no reason in the capital, and he still lives in her house, if it is said that someone is in attendance, or the patient has something, it is fine, but what he said is that there is something at home, where did he come from? The subordinates in his family are also from the Huo family.

She was about to open her mouth to ask, but Mrs. Huo had already asked, "Is it Xiao Yuan?" ”

Roger nodded: "Just now, Xiao Yuan's family went to look for me, saying that Xiao Yuan was missing, and asked if he came to me, I was worried that something would happen to him, and he wanted to go out to find it." ”

Lady Huo's face sank, and she said to Green Cloud: "You let Zhou Ziying take ten people and go with Dr. Luo, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is no curfew in the capital." ”

Zhou Ziying is the bodyguard of Mrs. Huo, and her status in the mansion is and

Roger was also polite, thanked Mrs. Huo, said goodbye to everyone, and left with Zhou Ziying.

Huo Roufeng then remembered who Xiao Yuan was, she still remembered that once Roger came with a child, and then she put this matter behind, she found out that her sister and Roger were very familiar, so familiar that her sister knew the child's name, but she didn't know.

She tilted her head to look at the people present, her sister and her, as well as Zhanhuai and Bi Daoyuan.

There are no outsiders.

She asked Mrs. Huo: "Who is Xiao Yuan?" I met once the last time Roger brought him, what is his relationship with Roger? ”

Mrs. Huo said: "He is a patient of Dr. Luo, Dr. Luo came to Beijing this time to treat him, I think it is almost the New Year, Xiao Yuan was picked up by his family, but he didn't expect to run out of the house again, so Dr. Luo will be in a hurry." ”

I see.

Huo Roufeng thought of Miss Su, most of Roger's patients were not ordinary diseases, Miss Su was stupid, Xiao Yuan didn't look like an idiot, and he didn't know what the disease was.

Fortunately, everyone's mood was not affected by this, although there was less well-informed Roger, but there were two small ones, Zhanhuai and Huo Roufeng, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was full of laughter.

Bi Daoyuan is also a lonely person, he, like the Huo sisters, has not been so lively for many years, and on a whim, he asked people to take the huqin and play a song.

Huqin is not an elegant thing, Huo Roufeng did not expect that a reader like Bi Daoyuan would actually play the huqin, so he remembered that she had learned the flute, so she clamored to play the flute, so this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended in Huo Jiuye's casual flute sound.

Mama Su has arranged a place for Zhanhuai, just behind Bi Daoyuan's courtyard, which was originally lived by Mr. Zhang, and later Mr. Zhang moved out of the house with the same department in order to facilitate the study of knowledge, and this small courtyard was vacant.

Zhan Huai saw that everyone was going to sleep, a little strange, and asked Huo Roufeng: "Isn't the custom in the capital to keep the year?" ”

Huo Roufeng glanced at Mrs. Huo and said in a low voice: "Keeping the New Year is to pray for my parents, my sister and I...... Mr. Bi doesn't need to. ”

Speaking of this, she remembered that Zhanhuai was different from them, Zhanhuai had both parents and brothers, she blinked her eyes and said to Zhanhuai: "Why don't I accompany you to celebrate the New Year, let's go to the small courtyard where you live to set off fireworks." ”

Zhanhuai didn't expect Huo Roufeng to take the initiative to accompany him to keep the New Year, smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said to Huo Roufeng: "I'll sing Fujian songs to you, in addition to mountain songs, there are also fishing songs, you must not have heard it." ”

Huo Roufeng asked the maids to prepare dried fruit preserves, but felt that it was not enough, and asked the kitchen to prepare a sheep scorpion hot pot, and did not forget to take her flute, and she wanted to play the flute when she sang with her arms.

Mrs. Huo looked at them with a smile, although Cai Qin couldn't stop looking at her, she didn't stop her.

It's rare for my sister to be so happy, she is getting older and older, and there will be fewer and fewer opportunities like this in the future.

It's just that she still called more than a dozen maids to follow, and she was afraid that a group of children would not be able to play in an orderly manner, so she asked Mama Liu to serve with her, and she went back to her room to sleep.

Although this yard is not large, there are no trees in the yard, and it looks bare during the day, so it is perfect for setting off fireworks.

Huo Roufeng was happy and threw the sheep scorpion out, Jin Dou'er and Black Dou'er jumped up to catch it, Zhan Huai thought it was interesting, picked a piece of meat and threw it towards Jin Dou'er, the sheep scorpion drew an arc in the air, and just when it was about to fall, Jin Dou'er jumped up and bit it, and wagged his tail at Zhan Huai for the first time.

Zhanhuai suddenly realized, and said to Huo Roufeng: "It turns out that I want to feed it like this, don't you know, when this dog followed me, he ignored me, I gave it meat and bones, and it didn't bother to move." ”

Huo Roufeng gestured at Zhanhuai with her greasy little hands: "Dog thief, I haven't settled accounts with you yet." ”

Zhanhuai hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ninth Master spare your life, I'll sing a fishing song to you." ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Huo Roufeng agreed or not, he immediately sang.

The singing was not pleasant, and Huo Roufeng couldn't understand a word, so she asked Zhanhuai: "Is this Hokkien?" ”

Zhanhuai said: "This is a kind of Fujian dialect, it is the Tanjia dialect, the Fujian dialect is divided into several kinds, the southern Fujian and the eastern Fujian are different, the Tanjia dialect is very similar to the eastern Fujian. ”

Huo Roufeng became interested and asked a lot about the Tan people, and when he heard that they had lived on the water for many years, he asked: "Your family has suppressed pirates, are there Tan people among the pirates?" ”

Zhan Huai said: "Yes, there must be some, the Tan people live by the sea, in the early years of the imperial court sea ban, the Tan people lived a difficult life, and some people went to be pirates." ”

Huo Roufeng knew about this, the people in the coastal area were not happy, and the pirates rose up, so the Zhan family wrote a letter to ask to hand over the yamen at all levels along the coast, and the imperial court sent officials to the court, as a condition, that is, to let the imperial court lift the sea ban, so that the fishermen could go out to sea to fish.

Since then, not only have the coastal fishermen been getting better and better, but the number of pirates has also decreased considerably.

But the Zhan family was also subject to the imperial court everywhere from then on, in the three provinces of Fujian, Zhejiang and Shandong, the queen mother and the emperor's people fought against each other, and even the guards also had their people.

Therefore, there is a matter of borrowing military rations in Ningbo in the spring of this year to eliminate dissent.

It was only at this time that Huo Roufeng asked Zhanhuai: "You did Guo Yong's business?" ”

Zhanhuai didn't answer, but just looked at Huo Roufeng very seriously: "Xiao Jiu, I have killed people, I have killed before, I have killed now, and I will continue to do so in the future, do you dislike me?" ”

Although the sons of Xun Gui value martial arts and ignore literature, there are not many people who have really seen blood, even if they go to the battlefield, they don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, and there are not many men like Zhanjia.

Under the candlelight, Huo Roufeng's apricot eyes were shining, like obsidian raised in the feng shui pool, she shook her head, and said seriously: "Zhanhuai, I have seen murder, I have seen it in my last life, and I have ...... in this life." I haven't seen it yet, but I'm not afraid. ”
