Xiao Ye still moved out of the small courtyard on West Street and lived in a small grange of forty acres outside the city by Huo Roufeng.

Mrs. Zhong took a pair of emerald bracelets that were some years old and gave them to Huo Roufeng. Although Huo Roufeng rarely wears these on weekdays, it does not prevent her from collecting valuable things, and her mother-in-law gives things, Huo Roufeng happily accepts them, and privately asks people to transfer the title deed of the grange to Xiaoye.

Xiao Ye rejected Huo Roufeng, but she would not refuse Mrs. Zhong, not to mention that unless she wanted to use the title deed, she would not know that the name of the title deed was already hers.

Mrs. Zhong took her back to live here, and Xiao Ye couldn't refuse.

Mrs. Zhong went to the Grange to see Xiao Ye once, and when she came back, her face was gloomy. When she went out, she asked the nurse and Ah Shang to go to Xie Honglin's house, and when she came back, she didn't even take Ah Shang back.

Xie Honglin let out a rare sigh and said to Huo Roufeng: "Your mother-in-law is really sad. ”

Isn't it? Mrs. Zhong usually hates to let Ah Shang never leave her eyes for a moment, but now she doesn't even see Ah Shang, not because she doesn't want Ah Shang, but because she doesn't want to let her bad mood face Ah Shang.

A few days later, the person sent to Fengxiang Mansion came back and told Huo Roufeng an unexpected news.

Mrs. Li passed away last month and passed away.

Dr. Li, the son of Mrs. Li, had to keep filial piety for three years, and he couldn't come to Xi'an.

Like a basin of cold water splashed over, Huo Roufeng smiled bitterly for a long time, and waved his hand to let the messenger out.

In this world, there have always been things that money can't buy, and there have always been, but people themselves don't want to believe it.

After Zhanhuai heard about it, his mood was also very heavy, and he didn't know how to comfort Huo Roufeng, so he simply asked her to go outside the city to see Xue Sheng training.

After more than ten days, the Wu family came with good news, and Cai Ruoyu and Wu Binbin got married in the first month.

Huo Roufeng was a matchmaker for the first time, and she was very happy to get the news, she came back from outside the city, discussed with Zhan Huai, and wrote a letter to Mrs. Huo who was still in the capital, so that Mrs. Huo could get ready.

She didn't write it down, but Mrs. Huo understood it at a glance. She handed a post to the Lu family and asked Lu Yu to have tea in the Zhuangyuan Building.

Lu Yu took over the family business as early as the year before last, but the old lady of the Lu family has always been cautious, Lu Yu, as the eldest grandson of the long house, can only walk around in the silver number of the capital at the moment, and it is said that the amount of silver used by Lu Yu is only one thousand taels.

Mrs. Huo has heard about it a long time ago, she believes that this is true, the Lu family is a famous iron rooster, I heard that Lu Yu was kidnapped when he was a child, and the thief heard about his Lu family, and immediately shouted bad luck and took the initiative to let him go, it turned out that he tied up the wrong person, and mistook Lu Yu for the little son of another family. Although the Lu family's family has a mountain of silver, even the thieves don't bother to tie up his children, if they kidnap his children, not only will they have tea and rice in vain, but the Lu family will not give a ransom.

Since Huo Jiu's death, Lu Yu has not been to the Zhuangyuan Building for several years.

The champion building belongs to the Huo family, and the best private room in the champion building is Huo Jiu's, which used to be the old place for a few of them. Huo Jiu is generous, but whenever he is in the Zhuangyuan Building, he never needs them to pay, so even if there is a banquet that he doesn't have to pay for later, Lu Yu will not come to the Zhuangyuan Building, this is his sad place.

Not only did he not come, but Huang Xianjun and Li Ye also did not come.

In a few years, Huang Xianjun and Li Ye have been alone at home, even in the capital, the three of them are busy in their own way, and they rarely get together all year round, strictly speaking, since Huo Jiu is missing, the three of them can count dozens of fingers when they meet.

The three of them all understood that although Huo Jiu was the youngest of the four, he was their leader, and when everyone used to play together, they were actually around Huo Jiu, and Huo Jiu wanted to go to the play, so they also played the horns together; Huo Jiu wanted to go to the mountains to play, so they prepared a picnic, even eating mutton and drinking mutton soup, Huo Jiu took them.

But now, even the old Cangzhou sheep intestine restaurant is gone. Less than half a year after Huo Jiu's death, the boss of that family was killed overnight, and even a few young men who lived in the shop were not spared. There are many shops in Beizhili that have joined the Taiping Society, which one does the Taiping Society look at, and the boss of that house does not agree, eight or nine times out of ten is the end.

Of course, the Taiping Society will not mess around, and the ones they picked are all shops opened by outsiders like Lao Cangzhou, who have no relationship or reliance in the capital, like the shops of the Huo family, the Lu family, and the Huang family, and the Taiping Society will not provoke them.

It's just that those little people suffered, and they were worried that they would be targeted by the Taiping Society, so they took the initiative to pay money to join the club. The Taiping Society is very protective of its congregation, as long as they pay money, they will try their best to protect it, whether it is a ruffian gang or a business conflict, as long as the Taiping Society is covered, it is to rely on.

In this way, the Taiping Society, a place like the capital where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, did not arouse public anger, but more and more people did not go to the Yamen when they encountered things, but went to the Taiping Society.

As for the tragedy in Lao Cangzhou, it has long been forgotten.

Lu Yu even felt that except for the three of them, the people of the capital had long since remembered the old Cangzhou who had come like a guest.

After all, in the capital, new restaurants open every day, and restaurants close every day, Lu cuisine is popular this year, and Su cuisine is popular next year, and people's tongues are the same as women's clothes, changing back and forth.

Huo Jiu likes Lao Cangzhou the most, Huo Jiu even wanted to buy Lao Cangzhou, but he didn't bring a little guy with him when he went out that day, and no one helped him remember it, and then Huo Jiu forgot about it, if there was a little guy with him that day, Lao Cangzhou would have been Huo Jiu's a long time ago, and the boss and the guy wouldn't have died.

But people's life and death are also determined, just like Huo Jiu, who said that he was sick and then said that he was dead, the four brothers were so good, but Huo Jiu was not able to meet them when he was dying.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu wiped his eyes with his sleeves, he got out of the carriage and let the handlebar drive the carriage to the stable behind the Zhuangyuan Building, which is a large restaurant, and there is a special place for storing carriages for guests, of course, before leaving, they will also help the guests feed the horses to their full.

This year, Lu Yu had his own carriage, and if he hadn't come to the Zhuangyuan Building, he would have been reluctant to come out by car. Although the carriage was used by him, the fodder for feeding the horses also had to come from his monthly routine, and if he did not come out once, he could feed him less.

Mrs. Huo's people have been waiting for him at the door for a long time, and they haven't seen him for a few years, but the people of the Huo family are still so energetic, full of red faces, and bright clothes and shoes.
