Chapter 244 Outside the Gate
"Outside the gates? The ancestral home of the Gao family is outside the Guan? Huo Roufeng was taken aback, Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Gao had been under her mother's command for many years, so she naturally thought that the Gao family was also from Shaanxi.
Zhanhuai nodded: "Yes, my great-grandmother is the aunt of the Gao family, there will be nothing wrong with this, the Gao family is indeed from outside the Guan." ”
Huo Roufeng suddenly remembered that Fang Cai Zhanhuai also said that the Gao family was born recklessly, and she asked: "So what did the Gao family do before they joined the army, I mean are they a big family outside the Guanxi?" ”
Zhanhuai patted Huo Roufeng's head with a smile and said: "I see that you grew up in Jiangnan, Guanwai is different from Jiangnan, the people there are fierce, and there are often Tartars haunting, and there is no one who can read among the ten people outside Guan, even if there is a family, it is also a family that practices martial arts." ”
Huo Roufeng stretched out his hand and waved Zhanhuai's hand away, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't pat my head, even if you always like to pat my head, I won't grow tall." ”
Under the candlelight, her originally snow-white and crystalline skin was dyed with a halo, as delicate as rouge, Zhanhuai hurriedly retracted his hand, what's wrong with him, knowing that Xiao Jiu is a girl, but he still always treats her like a kid.
Mother once said that if she could have a daughter, she would be pampered like a flower, but unfortunately after the mother gave birth to five sons, she never had a happy heart, so every time the daughters of relatives are exceptionally good, those nieces and nieces across the room, every time they come to her to say goodbye, they can get a lot of good things.
If my mother sees the cute and cute Xiao Jiu, she will definitely like it.
Zhanhuai was distracted for a while, so he didn't pay attention to what Huo Roufeng was saying, and it wasn't until Huo Roufeng's white and tender little hand snapped his fingers on the tip of his nose that he came back to his senses.
Xiao Jiu's snapping fingers were as chic and loud as a man.
"Hey, did you hear what I said?" Huo Roufeng's big eyes widened.
Zhanhuai had to pretend to be stupid and touch his ears: "Huh? What are you talking about? I didn't hear you. ”
Huo Roufeng snorted, stood up, leaned into his ear and said loudly, "I'm asking you if the Gao family is also a family that practices martial arts?" Which sect? ”
Huo Jiuye is familiar with the various sects in the rivers and lakes, and even the incisions can be memorized.
Zhanhuai laughed: "What sect, you have heard too much about the book, the Gao family is a bandit." ”
"Bandits? Is the mountain king? It's too majestic, are there bandits in Fujian? Have you ever seen bandits? Huo Roufeng was interested, she really didn't expect that the Gao family was actually a bandit.
Zhan Huai said with a smile: "I just listened to what the third brother said, I don't know if it is the king of the mountain, but I heard that there are many bandits outside the border, there were before, and there are many now, and there were also in Fujian in the early years, but they were all suppressed by our family, and now there are only pirates, no bandits." ”
Huo Roufeng was a little regretful, the Zhan family even hid their own children and grandchildren from the early years, especially Zhan Huai was young and the youngest in the family, so these secrets could not reach his ears.
"Why can your third brother know that he is not the eldest son." Huo Roufeng did not give up.
Zhan Huai said: "The third brother also knew by chance from my father and my eldest brother, I asked my mother, she said that even she didn't know about the ancestor, but my eldest brother must know, because when I ran to ask him, he hung me upside down in the martial arts hall, and it took two hours to let me down, my eyes were red, and I didn't dare to ask him anymore." ”
It's really embarrassing to say, but fortunately, Xiao Jiu didn't laugh at him.
Instead of laughing, Huo Roufeng patted Zhanhuai's shoulder sympathetically: "Don't worry, just wait until you grow up." ”
At this moment, Zhanhuai understood, I'm afraid this is what Xiao Jiu often hears, and now it's up to him.
After the New Year, he will be sixteen years old, and he has grown up. Those things about the ancestors of the Zhan family are not something that they can know when they grow up, and the eldest brother already knows it when he is thirteen years old.
There are some things that only the eldest son can know.
Huo Roufeng was already yearning, she held her delicate chin with her hand, and said to herself: "I know that there are people who sell horses from outside the Guan, and also collect ginseng outside the Guan, and there are horse dealers and visitors outside the Guan, by the way, I heard Mr. Bi say that the snow outside the Guanxi is waist-deep, and the horseback riding does not stop, if you want to go fast, you have to take the snow plough when you go out." ”
Zhanhuai shook his head: "I don't know about this, there is no storyteller in Fujian." ”
"Mr. Bi is not a storyteller, he writes books." Huo Roufeng corrected.
"Isn't that all the same?" Zhanhuai said.
Huo Roufeng yawned and asked Zhanhuai, "Is it almost dawn?" I'm sleepy. ”
Zhanhuai said: "You are with me to keep the New Year, if you are sleepy, go to sleep, you don't really have to accompany me until dawn." ”
Huo Roufeng yawned again, her big eyes were half-squinted, she leaned on the pillow and dozed off, Mama Liu hurriedly came over, took the brocade quilt and covered her, and said to Zhanhuai in a low voice: "Young Master Yang, why don't you sit next door for a while?" ”
Zhanhuai's ears immediately turned red, and he quickly got up, and glanced at Huo Roufeng, who had completely closed his eyes, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and smile.
The next day, when Huo Roufeng woke up, she found her lying in her room, and Cai Qin told her that the floor dragon in the guest room was not warm enough, so she slept until midnight and Mama Liu wrapped her in a quilt and hugged her back.
Huo Roufeng flattened her mouth, she was carried from one yard to another, and she had to pass through a few gates in the middle, she didn't even know at all.
Cai Qin pursed her lips and smiled, what is so strange about the ninth master, she has been like this since she was a child.
"The incense case has been prepared, Ninth Master, you hurry up, and you have to bow in the direction of the Forbidden City." Cai Qin said as she pulled Huo Roufeng out of the quilt and was familiar with the road.
Huo Roufeng yawned, and then remembered Zhanhuai, she asked, "What about Young Master Yang?" ”
Cai Qin said: "As soon as the morning dawned, that Gui Bo from the Guogong Mansion came and took Yang Gongzi back, and Yang Gongzi left a message for you, asking you not to forget about going to the barbecue tomorrow." ”
Huo Roufeng grinned: "I can't forget, you go to the stove and say it in a while, and let them prepare." ”
Cai Qin agreed, and together with the two little girls, she washed Huo Roufeng with her hands and feet, and took out the official uniform that she hadn't worn since she was sent over, and changed it into her.
Although the official uniform has been modified according to Huo Roufeng's figure, it is still very funny when worn on her, like a child who has stolen the clothes of an adult, especially the official hat, Huo Roufeng raised her head, and the front of the official hat slid down, covering her eyes, she giggled and asked Cai Qin: "For a while, you remember to help the master hold the hat, and don't knock the hat off when kowtowing." ”
The girls all laughed when they heard this, and Cai Qin had no choice but to look up at the sky helplessly.
