Chapter 158: Acting
Chu Qing hadn't seen the Huo family siblings for many years, and when he was in Yunnan, he occasionally heard people who had returned to Hangzhou talk about Huo Da Niang and Huo Jiuye, and almost all of them said it.
Mrs. Huo is calm and capable, Huo Jiuye...... Stubborn nature.
Although Chu Qing came with Roger, Roger's appearance and temperament made Chu Qing retreat, and along the way, the two didn't even say a few words. When Chu Qing was still staying in Yongfeng's own inn, he listened to the shopkeeper and learned that the Huo family had caused trouble in the capital, Yongji Temple opened the Hall of Merit, and Huo Jiuye came forward and donated 100,000 taels to the imperial court, so he got an official position from the seventh grade, and the Huo family was no longer an ordinary merchant.
Chu Qing couldn't help sighing, and admired Mrs. Huo more and more, although it was Huo Jiuye who was in the limelight, but how much ability can a child in his early teens have, isn't it all Mrs. Huo who is strategizing in the back?
Not only Chu Qing thinks so, but all the restaurants and inns of the Huo family along the way, the shopkeepers have the same idea as Chu Qing.
Mrs. Huo is not inferior to her eyebrows, Huo Jiuye...... It's so blessed to have such a sister to protect you.
Huo Roufeng didn't know that in just two months, she had changed from the richest child in the world to the most blessed child.
Right now, the blessed and rich children are crying hoarsely, and the maids and women are coaxing and persuading, some say that they will cry badly, some say they will cry and hurt their eyes, some bring Jin Douer, and some even find a drum to shake at the ninth master from nowhere.
Mrs. Huo couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and hurriedly looked away, but Chu Qing was already stunned.
Not only did he make Mrs. Huo angry, but he also bullied Huo Jiuye, who was holding Master Huo in the palm of his hand, to tears in his eyes.
Huo Roufeng cried breathlessly: "...... You bully ...... Bullying our brother and sister ......"
Chu Qing knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed: "The eldest lady, the ninth master, the villain doesn't dare to bully the master even if he is killed, the villain ......"
The maids who were still coaxing Huo Roufeng just now suddenly stopped talking, and even the Ninth Master stopped crying, and the needles in the hall could be heard. Chu Qing raised his eyes in astonishment, and saw that everyone was looking at him coldly.
It's okay for the Huo family's sisters and brothers, those maids and daughters-in-law who used to call him "Uncle Qing" respectfully when they saw him, their eyes were vicious, and they couldn't wait to swallow this bad life of bullying the eldest lady and the ninth master.
Chu Qing's head was buzzing, bullying the master? How could he bully his master?
"Big lady, ninth master, this ...... This ......" Chu Qing trembled his lips and couldn't speak.
He is the son of the family, he has been with Master Huo since he was a child, from a small guy to a long follower, and from a long follower to a single side of the big steward, whether it is in Yunnan, or in Hangzhou in the capital, people up and down the Yongfeng have to be respectful when they see him, even the ninth master has to call him Uncle Qing.
He has a Zhuangzi, a house, a virtuous wife, and the children under Chenghuan's knees, all of which were given by the Huo family, and his life is also from the Huo family.
If a person like him dares to bully his master, he will be killed with a rod in the yamen.
Beads of sweat rolled down from Chu Qing's forehead, what had he not seen? The scene in front of him is clearly that the Huo family sisters and brothers dug a pit and asked him to jump in, there is no road in front and back, left and right, if he refuses to jump, then he can only tell them everything in detail and tell them what they want to know.
The two sisters and brothers worked together seamlessly, even if he knew that they were acting, he could only break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
Mrs. Huo looked at Chu Qing coldly, and finally, she waved her hand, and the maid in the house withdrew, and the house that was still noisy just now was only the Huo family sisters and Chu Qing in a blink of an eye.
Huo Roufeng took a sip of tea, this was just changed for her by Cai Qin, Hang Ju with rock sugar, every time the ninth master cried heartbreakingly, he had to drink a cup of Hang Bai Ju with rock sugar to moisten his throat.
Huo Roufeng took a sip of tea, the tea was lukewarm and just right, like a wisp of sweet spring flowing into her heart, she comfortably leaned on the big pillow on the kang, and put an olive from the south in her mouth in the box, and then said to Chu Qing inarticulately: "Uncle Qing, you just tell my sister everything you know, and it is not in vain that my father believes you, if there is a spirit under his old man's spring, I know that you are bullying us......"
As soon as the five words you bullied us came out of her mouth, Chu Qing slammed her head with a bang.
Hearing the sound of kowtowing, Huo Roufeng grinned, this person is also too substantial, doesn't he knock his head out of the bag?
Sure enough, when Chu Qing raised his head, blood was already oozing from his forehead.
He whimpered and said: "The eldest lady, the ninth master, how can the villain bully the master, how can the lord be as kind to the villain as a mountain, the eldest lady and the ninth master also trust the villain, and the life of the villain's family is the master's, it is the eldest lady and the ninth master." ”
Mrs. Huo glanced at her sister, but saw that her sister also happened to look at her, neither of the sisters spoke, but they already knew it.
In normal times, a person like Chu Qing would only say that "the life of the villain's family is the master's", but he would never say the latter sentence "It is the eldest lady and the ninth master".
But now Chu Qing not only said it, but also said it sincerely.
Mrs. Huo's tone softened, and she said to Huo Roufeng: "Jiu'er, you go and pick up Uncle Qing, and then change a cup of tea for Uncle Qing." ”
Huo Roufeng made a gesture to get off the kang, but Chu Qinglian said that he didn't dare, so he got up from the ground and sat down in a proper manner.
Mrs. Huo asked, "Now are you willing to tell us everything you know?" ”
Speaking of which, it's for that.
Chu Qing didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Huo is different from the legends outside, and the ninth master is also different from the legends outside.
Today's play is undoubtedly the little woman's perverse behavior, where is the behavior of the legendary steady and capable Huo Da Niang?
The Ninth Master is even more ...... Chu Qing sighed in his heart.
He really hasn't dealt with his daughter's family, there are several female shopkeepers in the Yongfeng, all of them are spicy and sophisticated, he has never regarded them as women, he thought that Mrs. Huo was also like this, but he never thought about it but it was completely unexpected.
Look at the Ninth Master again...... It's clearly a child.
Mrs. Huo and the Ninth Master, this is a big child and a small child.
But he didn't know how to deal with the two children.
Chu Qing's face was red, and he finally said: "Big lady, ninth master, the villain has indeed been to Wanhua Temple, and he has been there more than once, before the villain went to Yunnan, he went every year, and he went to the master a few times." ”
"The master doesn't want others to know, even the wife doesn't know, so the villain is silent."
