Chapter 263: Bullying

A face suddenly appeared in front of Zhan Yu's eyes, a white and red face, a pair of big eyes that were pure and transparent, Huo Jiu!

Zhanhuai grew up in Fujian since he was a child, and in addition to the people from Fujian, his only friend was Huo Jiu.

When Huo Jiu arrived at the princess's mansion that day, Zhan Yu was still a little strange, how did Zhan Huai and Huo Jiu play together.

Huo Jiu is not a good stubble, he speaks very sharply at a young age, and every word refers to him not taking into account brotherhood.

He had heard that Huo Jiu said at the Hall of Merit that the people present would donate enthusiastically, in the name of contributing to the imperial court, but in fact helping the Huo family tide over the difficulties.

Even the eldest princess Fangyi and Prince Qing stood up to help him speak.

Therefore, when he first saw Huo Jiu, Zhanyu did not despise him because of his age, on the contrary, he had a deep impression of Huo Jiu.

The "she" in Zhanhuai's mouth, is it Huo Jiu?

Huo Jiu is a girl?

People are like this, if you don't think about some things, you don't feel anything, but once you think about it, you can immediately find a lot of doubts.

For example, Zhan Yu remembered that although Huo Jiu's every move was a teenager, his every move and smile was a little squeamish, giving people the feeling that this was a child who was raised by his female dependents, so he lacked masculinity.

Besides, if Huo Jiu is really a man, it is too tricky, but if he is a daughter's family, it is just right.

The most important thing is that Huo Jiu is eleven or twelve years old this year, and there is only one sister in the family, as we all know, Huo Jiu is the only male in the Huo family, and he is loved by thousands of people, which is also very consistent with what Zhanhuai said.

Zhanhuai has not yet reached the age of sixteen after the New Year, he is still at the age of fifteen, and Huo Jiu is only three or four years old, the two are the same age, but Huo Jiu has not yet reached the age of Xuan, but the daughters of ordinary people are also twelve or thirteen years old to start discussing marriage, and it will take a year or two to finish the big and small decisions.

"Old Five, is that girl Huo Jiu?" Zhan Yu asked, his own brother, there is nothing that can't be asked, if Zhan Huai doesn't want to say it, he won't say so much to his brother today, obviously he has been depressed in his heart for a long time, and no one confides in him, although he and Huo Jiu are good friends, but as he himself said, Huo Jiu is still at an ignorant age, and the Huo family will raise Huo Jiu as a man for some reason, this Huo Jiu is afraid that he will really treat himself as a man from his heart as Zhan Huai said.

Unexpectedly, Zhanhuai nodded: "When I first saw Xiao Jiu, I used to laugh at her sissy, she had to let her mother-in-law hold her when she swam in the water, her maid stared at me when she saw me, at that time I thought she was pampered too much, and later when I was in Wanhua Temple, I accidentally learned that Master Huo only had two daughters, and the name of the young girl and Xiao Jiu just matched, perhaps because the Huo family had no children in the second room, Master Huo was worried that the family property would be taken away from the clan in the future, so he raised Xiao Jiu as a man since he was a child, alas, second brother, I am worried now, Miss Huo will always let Xiao Jiu be a man, marry her in the future, and then inherit the incense with a stepson, how can that be good? ”

At the beginning, Zhan Yu was still laughing, these two little guys were too interesting, especially the fifth child, who actually disliked letting his mother-in-law hold him when he was swimming in the water, but listening to it, the smile on Zhan Yu's lips gradually faded, yes, why did the Huo family raise Huo Jiu as a man?

As far as he knows, Huo Jiu is an adopted son, it is said that he is the child that Master Huo picked up from the outside, since he wants to find a son to inherit the incense, why not adopt a son again, there is no need to let Huo Jiu, who is a daughter, disguise herself as a man for so many years.

Huo Peiran was known as the God of Wealth in Jiangnan when he was alive, but anyone who does well in business must not have a simple mind and skills, why would such a person do such a thing of covering his ears and stealing the bell?

Besides, Huo Jiu will always grow up day by day, and now he is eleven or twelve years old, and he can barely be said to be a man, but in another two or three years, his figure will gradually be revealed, how can he pretend to be? At that time, wouldn't the Huo family become a laughing stock?

And although the Huo family in Hangzhou is only a merchant, it is a local family, once Huo Jiu's concealment of gender comes out, the Huo family will be the first to disagree, and the Huo family wants to suppress this matter, but it is not enough to deal with tens of thousands of taels of silver, maybe she will have to take half of the Huo family's property.

What's more troublesome is that Huo Jiu is no longer in vain now, she is a royal gift from the seventh grade, although she is a sesame mung bean official, the Huo family doesn't care about Yu Lu, but they don't care about this identity. But if Huo Jiu's identity is made public, the Huo family will not only face ridicule, but also the crime of bullying the king!

This crime is too big, but it is not something that the small Huo family can bear, no matter how rich the Huo family is, they can only look at it powerlessly in the face of such a big crime.

Thinking of this, Zhan Yu took a deep breath, what Zhan Huai liked was a big trouble.

If it was before, there might have been a place to maneuver, but from the day Huo Jiu was given the official body, the Huo family could no longer turn back.

Unless, as Zhanhuai said, Mrs. Huo married Huo Jiu and gave birth to a child, and then found a name, pretending that Huo Jiu was sick, and never let Huo Jiu come out to see people again, this secret can be buried forever.

Even so, there are a lot of unforeseeables, no one knows if there will be other things in the long years to come, in short, unless Huo Jiu dies, this is a cannon battle, and it can be ignited at any time.

"Fifth child, do my father and mother know about this?" Zhan Yu asked in a deep voice.

Zhan Huai said: "I don't know if my father knows, my mother told her personally, but I didn't tell her Xiao Jiu's identity, if I don't say it, the family will give me a marriage, except for Xiao Jiu, I don't want to marry anyone." ”

"But have you ever thought that Huo Jiu is already an official of the imperial gift, she was summoned by the Queen Mother, Princess Fangyi and Prince Qing have seen her, and you won't have heard of the Huo family doing business with Prince Qing. Now it's not as simple as Huo Jiaken's refusal to let Huo Jiu restore his identity, there is also the imperial court, and the emperor, have you thought about it? Once Huo Jiu is detained for the crime of bullying the king, do you have a future? ”

Zhan Yu's voice became more and more severe, the gentle second brother no longer existed, at this moment, he was the second son of Zhan who was trained by the court.

Zhanhuai's back is straight, and he is still a little thin as a teenager, but he is full of vigor from head to toe.

He said aloud: "Second brother, when I learned that Xiao Jiu was a woman in Wanhua Temple, I was not surprised, but I was happy, very happy, I didn't understand why I was so happy at first, until I went to Hangzhou and saw Xiao Jiu, I didn't understand my thoughts......"
