"What is this?" Huo Roufeng asked.

"You take it carefully, I must take it back, this one can't represent our Fujian Mansion, but it is an important thing to me", Zhan Huai said this, looking at Huo Roufeng with a smile, "Are you satisfied now?" ”

Huo Roufeng didn't ask again, put the jade pendant into his purse, and said to Zhanhuai: "Tomorrow you get up early, I'll send someone over." ”

With that, she jumped down from the stone bench and walked away.

Zhanhuai looked at her back, and then looked at a table of wine and food, Huo Xiaojiu didn't seem to have eaten a bite, and when the wine and food were served, the maid who served the food deliberately put a few dishes in front of him.

Zhanhuai looked at it, and it was all northern cuisine, but what was in front of him was orthodox Hangzhou cuisine.

As far as he knows, Huo Peiran's father and son rarely come to Wuxi, so there should be no particularly outstanding cooks in Zhuangzi.

Therefore, today's banquet should be made by the chef brought by Huo Xiaojiu, and this chef should know Huo Xiaojiu's taste best. It's not surprising that there are northern dishes on the table, it's strange that Huo Xiaojiu grew up in Hangzhou since he was a child, and he likes to eat northern food.

Early the next morning, before dawn, a steward named Lin Wensheng came to see Zhanhuai, Zhanhuai had already gotten up and was practicing knives in the yard, hearing that the steward of the Huo family was coming, he smiled and said to Hua Sanniang who handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat: "Huo Xiaojiu deliberately let people come over before dawn, this little thing." ”

Hua Sanniang smiled: "Maybe in Huo Jiuye's eyes, getting up early is a very difficult thing." ”

Zhan Huai laughed, his laughter was hearty, Huo Jiu really had this thought, the second ancestor who grew up in the splendid pile, thought that everyone was the same as him.

The men of their exhibition family have not had the habit of sleeping lazily since they were children, which one is not practicing in summer and smelling chickens in winter?

He waved his hand and said to Hua Sanniang: "Tell the steward that I will leave after breakfast." ”

Zhanhuai ate very quickly, Lin Wensheng only waited for a quarter of an hour, and Zhanhuai walked out of the courtyard with five entourages and neatly dressed and footed.

Lin Wensheng took two small servants to lead the way in front, he took more than a dozen steps, couldn't hear the sound behind, and thought that these people didn't follow, so he paused, turned around to look, but was startled, six people were three steps behind them.

These people had been following him closely, but they had not made a sound at all.

Lin Wensheng's neck stalk overflowed with a layer of cold sweat, what kind of friend did Jiu Ye make, he is the steward of the Huo family, and he often moves around with various businesses in Wuxi, and he can be regarded as well-informed.

And these people behind him are definitely not businessmen, and certainly not scholars.

The ninth master is only eleven years old, and there is no strict father to control him, although Mrs. Huo is powerful, but she dotes on this younger brother a lot, oops, the ninth master should not have befriended the gangsters, right?

No, these few don't have the spirit of the rivers and lakes, so are they in the guard?

Thinking about it this way, Lin Wensheng breathed a sigh of relief, if the military master is reasonable, maybe it was the eldest lady's side, the eldest lady is a woman, and he only said that these people are friends of the ninth master.

Lin Wensheng was very satisfied with his guess, but his face was calm, he was responsible for the affairs of the owner, and he kept his duty and never said a word.

And Huo Roufeng was still sleeping at this time, and the thing she hated the most was to get up early, Cai Qin felt sorry for her, so she asked her to lift the birdcage under the porch outside, and asked the little maids to take a few dogs out for a walk in the bay.

The maids walked on tiptoe, and there was silence inside and outside the courtyard.

Therefore, when Huo Roufeng woke up, it was almost noon, and she was woken up by hunger.

Xiao Ye fed her a bowl of rice porridge, and she drank a bowl of crispy and tender cucumbers. Caihe happily took a piece of halva and stuffed it into her mouth: "Ninth Master used this meal well, it's really good." ”

Cai Qin glared at Xiao Ye fiercely and said, "What are you talking about?" Go out and bathe the mountain. ”

Dashan is a big black dog brought by Huo Roufeng, and it is the most majestic of all dogs.

The maids are also most afraid of it.

Xiao Ye went out with a sad face, she was quick for a while, and said that the ninth master is really good, the ninth master is the master, only the eldest lady can say that the ninth master is good, where can I get them.

Huo Roufeng never cared about these things, she asked Cai Qin: "Is Lin Wensheng gone?" ”

Cai Qin said: "Steward Lin accompanied Yang Gongzi and them away, and Zhang Shengping's two nephews pretended to be small servants and followed Lin Wensheng. ”

Huo Roufeng nodded, Zhang Shengping's two nephews are both fourteen or fifteen years old, although they have been practicing martial arts since childhood, but they look white and clean, Zhang Shengping hinted a few times, wanting these two nephews to come to her.

These two boys don't look like guards, they are not eye-catching when they follow Lin Wensheng, and they are commonly used by large families at first glance.

She paced leisurely out of the house, and a little servant had already run out to bring the birdcage in again and hang it on the verandah.

Huo Roufeng teased the birds for a while, and then took a few dogs to the lake again.

Huo Xi sent a few good water skills, propped up a half-sized boat, and accompanied her to play from noon to night, there are cooks on the boat who are good at cooking fresh fish, using freshly caught fish and shrimp, Huo Roufeng has always been picky eaters, and she is also satisfied with the cook's skills, she is full of food and drink, she wants to learn to swim, and the mother-in-law who accompanied her followed Huo Xi's instructions, coaxed her and said: "Ninth master, let's fish first today, and tomorrow the slaves and maids will accompany you to swim in the water. ”

The mother-in-law accentuated the words clean lake, this gold-inlaid jade-like ninth master, I think he is a clean person, you say that the lake is clean, he won't say anything.

Of course, the mother-in-law will not tell the ninth master that the reason why Huo Xi picked that piece of water is because it is the shallowest there, and let people dive under the lake to see that there is no danger, and this is only ten days ago, it was encircled.

Huo Roufeng really didn't dig deeper, and the mother-in-law let a few dogs swim in the lake, and she was overjoyed and happily got off the boat and returned to Zhuangzi.

At this time, it was already sunset, Huo Roufeng had just returned to his house to change his clothes, and before he had drunk a sip of hot tea, the little maid ran in: "Ninth Master, Steward Lin is back." ”

Huo Roufeng frowned, there is only one Lin steward in Zhuangzi, that is Lin Wensheng, at this time, shouldn't Lin Wensheng be in Wuxi City?

Lin Wensheng came in and said: "Ninth Master, the little one accompanied that Yang Gongzi into the city, Yang Gongzi just asked the little one to take him, and walked on the three streets of our house for a long time, and then let the little one come back, and said that he would let the little one go over tomorrow, saying that he would go to Jian'an Street for a walk." ”

Jian'an Street is not the most prosperous in Wuxi City, but it is also full of shops.
