Chapter 166: Roger
Huo Roufeng felt like a stone had fallen to the ground in her heart, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed the sleeve of Mrs. Huo's coat, and whispered, "Sister, I am not from the same family as her." ”
She and Huo Sijin are not a family, not sisters, her sister is only Huo Rouyun, the eldest lady of Huo.
Mrs. Huo looked at her sister's slender white fingers, and her heart became soft, and she gently covered her sister's hand with her other hand, no matter what her sister's background was, they were all sisters in this life.
After a long time, Mrs. Huo said to Chu Qing: "You rest in the capital for a few days before leaving for Wuxi, if you think of something again, come and tell us." ”
Chu Qing felt ashamed, didn't say anything, and said goodbye.
At this time, Mama Fan walked in and said to Mrs. Huo: "That Doctor Luo is really ...... He fell asleep in the side hall at this time, and he slept for as long as Steward Chu came in, as if he hadn't slept last night, and now Steward Chu left, and the girls went to call, but they hadn't woken him up yet. ”
Mrs. Huo, such a person who has no manners, is rare, fortunately, I heard my sister say before that this person behaves differently from ordinary people, otherwise she would be as angry as Mama Fan.
She said to Mama Fan: "Since he is asleep, then don't wake him up, when he wakes up, let him come to see us." ”
Mama Fan sighed, turned around and went out.
Roger slept until noon, and he was woken up by his own rumbling stomach.
Mama Fan got the instructions of Mrs. Huo, and knew what to do, and when she saw that he was awake, she asked the maid to bring lunch.
Large families pay attention to breakfast and dinner, and at noon, they simply use some snacks, but the Huo family is different, Huo Jiuye is the time to grow his body, five meals a day, and one less meal is not good, so the small kitchen she uses does not turn off the fire all day.
Roger's lunch was brought from Huo Jiuye's kitchen.
A large bowl of red pepper missing the three Ding Zhenzi noodles, two fragrant meat buns, salted duck slices, boiled bean sprouts, boiled green vegetables, and a plate of shredded tofu are all packed in a small dish of sweet white porcelain.
Fortunately, he was really hungry, and devoured it, and after a while, only half a bowl of clean noodle soup was left on the table.
Mama Fan thought about it, this Dr. Luo looks strange, but eating is quite comfortable.
Roger was full of food and drink, so he asked the little girl who went in to clean up the dishes and chopsticks: "Is Huo Jiuye still in the house?" ”
The little girl said, "The ninth master is out, let you wait." ”
This person slept all morning, very rude, the little girl wanted to answer him in a cold and polite tone, but when she saw Roger's face, her tone couldn't help but be gentle.
Roger frowned and said, "The ninth master is not here, is the eldest lady Huo here?" ”
The little girl was even more unhappy in her heart, but her words were even more gentle: "You are a foreign man, not from our Huo family, if the ninth master is not there, the eldest lady will not see you." ”
Roger sighed and said, "I'm just asking, I'm here to see your ninth master." ”
The little girl saw that he seemed a little disappointed, so she said, "The ninth master asked you to wait for him here, and the ninth master will come back early in the evening." ”
Roger looked up at the roof, did Huo Jiu ask him to wait here for an afternoon?
Huo Jiu did go out, Huang Xianjun came to find her, Li Ye was the east, and invited them to the Sihai Teahouse to listen to the story, and the woman told the story.
There are occasional female storytellers in the capital, and they will not show up in the teahouse, they are all invited by the female relatives to tell stories in the house, like this in the teahouse, even Huang Xianjun, who grew up in the capital since childhood, is the first time to hear of it.
When the two arrived at the Sihai Teahouse, Li Ye had been waiting there for a long time, and as soon as they sat down, Lu Yu came.
Huo Roufeng saw that Lu Yu and Huang Xianjun were all wearing royal blue muslin shirts, and guessed that they had all slipped out of the academy quietly.
"You guys skipping school?" She asked.
Lu Yu yawned: "It can't be regarded as skipping school, the master asked me to go home and endorse the book, we just didn't go home." ”
What do you do back home? It's fun outside, not to mention that these people who can play with Lu Yu are all rich people in the world, and with them, Lu Yu doesn't have to spend money.
But as soon as his thoughts flashed, Huang Xianjun teased him: "I can be with Jin Taixiang's Shaodong, what else can I do when I go home?" Compared with the Lu family, our family is poor. ”
Lu Yu was startled, hurriedly covered his mouth, and said to Li Ye: "Don't listen to his nonsense, should you be an east or an east, don't pay attention to him." ”
As if he was afraid that Li Ye would not pay for it, the matter of the treat would fall on him.
The Li family has not yet gained a firm foothold in the capital, and the elders of the family have repeatedly told Li Ye to walk around more with the children of big families in the capital.
He said to Lu Yu very seriously: "Lu Da, don't worry, I must be the east, you are younger than me, no one should fight with me about the silver." ”
Huo Roufeng smiled with crooked eyebrows, she likes this kind of friend the most, no matter who it is, she will like a friend who rushes to pay the bill.
But it's just to listen to the story, this pomp is a bit small, and if Li Ye wants to pay more money, it's impossible.
She smiled and said, "Ah Ye, how much silver did you bring out?" ”
When the Li family first arrived, the big and small shops in the capital did not buy their accounts, and the children of the Li family could only pay money, and none of the shops were willing to keep accounts for them.
Li Ye replied honestly: "I brought a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, if it is not enough, I will let people go home to get it." ”
Before Huo Roufeng could speak, Lu Yu had already squirted out a sip of tea: "Ah Ye, don't you have a storyteller in Yangzhou?" Don't you know what storytelling is all about? One thousand taels? You can buy that storyteller, take it home, and let her tell it to you every day. ”
Li Ye opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a while, Huang Xianjun had already pointed at Lu Yu's nose and scolded: "Lu Da, don't you want to learn from the scholarly family?" That's what you're learning? Why don't I buy that storyteller and give it to you, so that she can go home with you and tell you every day? ”
Saying that, he stood up and was about to call a man, but Lu Yu saw it and grabbed him: "I'm just teasing Ah Ye, what's the matter with you?" Besides, if you really buy people, I don't want them. ”
A young boy of his age likes to listen to stories, especially the Legend of the Heroes, the Legend of the Loyal Martyrs, and the Sun Monkey making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Zhao Zilong vs. Changbanpo, which are all never tired of listening.
But he just listened, as Huang Xianjun said, buy the female storyteller, let him take it home, and he didn't dare to kill him, his grandfather would deduct all his pitiful monthly rules.
