It's a pity that Jia Liang still couldn't see Huo Roufeng.

This was also expected by Jia Liang.

If he could meet Huo Jiu so easily, there would be no need for Zhang Ting to trick him.

But in any case, being able to step into Shuangjing Hutong has given him hope.

As long as he can keep his son, even if he is played to death by Huo Jiu, he is willing.

He followed Zhang Ting into a small courtyard, there is an old locust tree outside the yard, hugging the thickness of the branches, the branches stretch into the yard, and the yard must be full of the fragrance of locust flowers in the spring.

The two servants stood under the porch, both wearing new cotton clothes, and like every child looking forward to the New Year, their red faces were full of joy.

Jia Liang's heart was sour again, Jia Xiaoan was still locked up in a firewood room with ventilation everywhere.

Walking into the eastern room, he saw a man who was not good-looking, sitting on an Arhat chair with a cane next to him. Apparently a person with inconvenient legs.

Zhang Ting called that person, Mr. Bi.

Jia Liang didn't know what the origin of this person was, but looking at Zhang Ting's respectful attitude towards that person, he thought that this Mr. Bi must be someone with status next to Huo Jiu.

Bi Daoyuan glanced at Jia Liang and said lightly: "I heard that you have something to tell the Ninth Master?"

Jia nodded and said, "I can't guarantee that the Ninth Master will be interested in this matter, but the last person who listened to me about this matter happened to be doing business with the Ninth Master." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Bi Daoyuan asked, "Which one?"

Jia Liang said: "That noble person, I am a lowly person, of course I can't see the main master, even the people around him, fortunately, I have been in the capital for more than ten or twenty years, and I can still recognize which family it is, but who is the master of this person?" I can't say it explicitly, Mr. Bi must be able to guess. ”

Bi Daoyuan didn't raise his eyelids, and said: "The ninth master said that he can save your son, but as for you, he is too lazy to care." ”

Jia Liang's heart was pounding: "How can I save it?"

Bi Daoyuan said: "The ninth master said, you are not qualified to ask, as long as the news you give is useful, just wait to see your son." ”

Jia Liang clenched his fists nervously, Huo Jiu was ruthless, today let the people on the two streets know that he had a relationship with the Huo family in Hangzhou, and then kicked him away, but he could only bear it for Jia Xiao'an.

yes, what else could he do?

He had no way out.

Huo Jiu calculated that this would be the case, so he would cut off his back road.

Only by cutting off his back path will he tell everything he knows.

This is a sale, a trade that is unfair but must be made.

Jia Liang laughed self-deprecatingly, it is unfair for someone to exist.

He turned and looked at the door, which was covered with a curtain of Hanmei Aoxue, covering everything outside.

He couldn't see the old locust tree peeking into the branches, he couldn't see this quiet little courtyard, he couldn't see the way he came.

......

Huo Roufeng opened her mouth, waiting for Xiao Ye to peel a small walnut for her. There is no such small walnut in Beizhili, this is the New Year's goods sent by Hangzhou, the small walnut is fried with pepper and salt, and a few herbs are added to defeat the fire, which is the taste that Huo Roufeng likes to eat since he was a child.

Xiao Ye peeled fast, Huo Roufeng ate faster, Xiao Ye's fingers finally couldn't keep up with Huo Roufeng's teeth, so he had to beg for mercy: "Ninth Master, you chew slowly, and the slave can also peel a few more whole ones for you." ”

Huo Roufeng simply stopped chewing, opened her mouth wide, and waited until Xiao Ye filled her mouth before she chewed together.

Zhang Ting came in quietly and said a few words in Huo Roufeng's ear, Huo Roufeng forgot for a moment that she still had her mouth open and walnut kernels in her mouth, so she laughed, so she ......

Huo Jiuye stuck in her throat, coughed so much that her little face was red, tears and snot flowed together, and the maids and daughters-in-law were busy for a quarter of an hour, and she shrank to the kang with her face like crying, what is the matter, she can't laugh yet.

But when she went to see Bi Daoyuan, she really didn't want to laugh.

Jia Liang has been doing procurement in Huojiadong Mansion for many years, and he can be regarded as a familiar face in the capital.

He knows a lot of people, and there are many people who know him, most of these are people who are about the same family as the Huo family or lower, and there are some people who he knows, but people don't know him.

Among them are the people of Qingwangfu.

Strictly speaking, this person can't be regarded as a person from King Qing's Mansion, because he is not serving King Qing, but Su Qian's person.

This person is also surnamed Su, and he is the son of Su Qian's hometown in Jiaxing, after Su Qian recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, the Su family asked him to bring a few people back to the capital.

These people are all surnamed Su, such a family as the Su family in Jiaxing, but anyone who can follow the master's surname is an orphan who was sold to the Su family several generations ago, these people don't know who their surname is, and the master makes them surnamed Su, which is the supreme glory for them, so as long as they follow the master's surname, they are superior in each family, and the stewards in the house dare not offend.

The people who gave Su Qian by the Su family were all surnamed Su.

Su Qian is the companion of Prince Qing, but he is unofficial and unemployed in the palace, and his people follow him in and out, and like him, there is no real difference in the palace.

As a result, these people are more casual in their daily lives and often walk outside.

The person Jia Liang knew was called Su Baofu, and he met twice in the tea house he often went to procure, and he heard the shopkeeper of the tea house say that this Su Baofu was the person who accompanied King Qing to read Su Gongzi, and he came here every other day to buy tea for Su Gongzi.

Su Gongzi likes Duyun tea, and Duyun tea is not a tribute, and only they have it in the capital.

Hearing that Su Baofu was from Qingwangfu, Jia Liang didn't want to talk to him.

Qingwangfu, that's not something that the Huo family can climb, people don't know it if they ignore it, besides, Qingwangfu is too high and too far, even if you know the people of Qingwangfu, there is no oil and water to fish, but it is not as good as those who have just arrived in the capital for a short time The family of the four or five officials is not familiar with the place, and they can get a few taels of silver from introducing a few good shops to their stewards, which is real.

But Jia Liang didn't expect that one day, this Su Baofu took the initiative to talk to him.

Before that, there was another thing, that is, once Jia Liang frequented a shop, and the shopkeeper of that house showed him a way.

The shopkeeper first asked him if the young lady of the Huo family had taken the hair from Wuxi Wanhua Temple to practice.

This is not a secret in the capital, and the Huo family did not want to introduce this matter, on the contrary, because Huo Sijin was summoned by the Queen Mother, she once prayed for her mother in the nunnery of Wanhua Temple and brought the practice to spread all over the beauties in the capital, which is also something that Huo Sijin and the Huo family are proud of.

Therefore, Jia Liang did not hide it, and proudly said yes.

The shopkeeper said: "There is a guest from Jiangnan who wants to inquire about this matter, and when he heard that I am doing business with your family, he asked me, but I know people from your Huo family other than you." ”
