The housekeeper in the Zhuangzi is named Huo Xi, who is the son of the second room, when he was young, he used to be a servant for Master Huo, and later had a family, and Master Huo handed over this Zhuangzi on the edge of Taihu Lake to their family to take care of.

Huo Xijia is in his early thirties, his hair is combed neatly, and he wears a finger-wide gold bracelet on his wrist.

Huo Roufeng remembered this pair of gold bracelets, which were rewarded by my sister when I came last time. Huo Xi's family is in Zhuangzi, although there is a bit of oil and water, but the master only comes once in a few years, and there are not many rewards that can be taken.

She lives in the courtyard where she lived when she was a child, a small two-story building, with a view of the endless Taihu Lake.

Knowing that she was coming, the ceiling was pulled up in the yard early, and Huo Xijia explained: "We are near the water here, not only mosquitoes, but also many other small flying insects. ”

Huo Roufeng was a little regretful, in this way, the mosquitoes were gone, but the birds couldn't fly in.

Fortunately, she brought more than a dozen birds, and the bird cages were hung under the corridor, chirping, and it was very lively.

When Jin Douer arrived at the new place, she was not afraid at all, and ran around happily, busily leaving a scent wherever she went.

They arrived in the afternoon, and they used snacks on the way, Huo Xi's family still remembered that when this ninth master came last time, he was clamoring to eat dumplings, but fortunately, there was a daughter-in-law who married from the north in Zhuangzi and made dumplings for the ninth master, and the ninth master's six or seven-year-old little man ate twenty of them in one meal.

This time, Huo Jiulian also brought the cook, but Huo Xi's family still asked people to mix the stuffing with the noodles early, and Huo Roufeng and his party had just settled, and the hot dumplings were served.

Huo Roufeng ate and drank to his heart's content, fell asleep, slept for an hour, and woke up in the evening. She couldn't wait to go to the edge of Taihu Lake to play, but Cai Qin couldn't help it, so she had to let Huo Xi's family find a few mothers-in-law with good water characteristics to follow, Huo Roufeng took two eight or nine-year-old girls and ran away a long time ago, and Jin Douer ran happily in the front.

The sunset is full of sky, the clear lake water is dyed into a piece of golden red, the confluence of water and sky, the blazing glow, looking at it, like a beautiful picture scroll with thick ink and heavy colors.

Huo Roufeng looked at the light with both eyes, she grew up on the shore of West Lake, Taihu Lake and West Lake are two completely different scenery.

She said to the mother-in-law who followed behind: "Go and row the boat over, you have to get on the boat." ”

The mother-in-law was startled, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Ninth master, it's too late today, tomorrow during the day, the slaves and maids will accompany you to the lake to have a good time, today you will take a look at the scenery on the shore, can you see it?" ”

Huo Roufeng seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water, and immediately lost his spirit, but he didn't hold back, it was getting late, what if the boat rowed far away and turned over in the lake, the life of the ninth master was valuable.

Seeing that she was so easy to speak, the mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, the last time the ninth master came, alas, he was used to it by Master Huo, like a monkey, and now he is a few years older, not only stable, but also sensible.

But they were thinking too simply.

Huo Roufeng found a neatly polished Taihu Lake stone, sat on it, and then slowly took out her flute and played it.

The evening breeze is blowing, mixed with the slightest tide, a few birds are hovering on the lake, the golden wheel is sinking in the west, and the small boat moored not far away, the smoke of cooking rises, which is the family that makes a living from fishing is cooking.

Everything is so peaceful and beautiful, of course, if it weren't for Huo Jiuye's flute, it might be even better.

Fortunately, Huo Jiuye is still a beginner, he doesn't know how to use qi, he blows powerlessly, and he will feel harsh in the narrow carriage, and at this moment the sound of the flute floats on the vast lake, and it is blown by the wind, and it disperses.

At this moment, the little maid in Zhuangzi rushed over, not daring to disturb Huo Roufeng, and only said to a mother-in-law: "Aunt He, Aunt Xi asked me to invite Jiu Ye back, saying that a friend of Jiu Ye came from afar and wanted to stay in Zhuangzi." ”

The kid who grew up in Zhuangzi has far less rules than in the house, and he spoke loudly, and Huo Roufeng heard the flute blowing.

"What friend? Nine masters, my friend? Her eyes widened.

Because she is a girl, she has no contact with the children of merchants in Hangzhou, and occasionally meets, and she is also a nodding friend.

Therefore, Huo Jiuye has no friends.

The little girl hurriedly said: "Yes, Aunt Xi asked Miss Caiqin, and Miss Caiqin didn't know, Aunt Xi asked the little one to ask the Ninth Master, by the way, your friend's surname is Yang, and he is a young man." ”

Surname Yang? Huo Roufeng thought about the family surnamed Yang she knew in Hangzhou City, and she couldn't think of any Yang Gongzi who was her friend.

She became even more curious.

This is her family's Zhuangzi, and the people in the Zhuangzi are all members of the Huo family, besides, she has a guard, so she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.

She waved the flute in her hand and said to everyone: "Go back, I want to meet friends." ”

Jin Dou'er ran out of nowhere, her feet were covered with mud, and her mouth was also wet, dirty like a stray dog.

Huo Roufeng pointed to its nose, sighed, and strode away.

As soon as I walked into the front yard used to meet guests in Zhuangzi, I saw a figure dressed in red.

The red red clothes are made of Chixia Luo, which is woven in Hangzhou and used as a tribute.

Huo Roufeng still wore this material in her previous life, although she was in Hangzhou in this life, she didn't wear it, and last year my sister got a few feet, and she only made a few handkerchiefs, but she didn't dare to make clothes to wear on her body.

But this person wore it out like this.

There is no need to look back at all, Huo Roufeng also knows who this person is.

The material of the tribute cannot be seen by ordinary people, but it is possible that the palace may reward it to the noble family.

What's more, the Mansion of Fujian is a first-class noble, and during the New Year's holidays, the rewards given in the palace are more and better than others.

"Mourning Star, how did you know I was here? What are you doing at our house? Huo Roufeng crossed her waist.

Zhan Huai turned around, the sky had already darkened, and his eyes were bright and dazzling.

"When I first arrived in your land, there was only one friend, you, and there was no inn in a hundred miles around here, so I couldn't sleep by the lake, so I would spend a day with you."

Huo Roufeng's eyes widened: "How do you know I'm here?" ”

"You brought ten big cars, and you also invited a dart bureau, which is mighty and eye-catching, besides, I have seen your guards in Ningbo, and I recognize them at a glance." Zhanhuai patiently explained, "By the way, when I went to Wuxi and inquired a little, I knew that your family has a big Zhuangzi here, it's not a secret." ”

Huo Roufeng slapped his head, and the ghost lingered.

"The countryside is too simple, there is no one who can entertain the son, if you can't find the inn, I will let someone take you there." As he spoke, Huo Roufeng was about to call someone.
