Huo Guang's carriage had not yet arrived at the General's Mansion, and the news of retreating to the second line had already spread.
Su Zhi left the palace and did not go to the palace, but went straight to his mansion, opened the treasury and carefully selected a generous gift, and then took the car to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. Like him, there were many courtiers.
They all know that Cheng Mo is facing the saint in the palace, presumably the emperor will trust him with state affairs, as Huo Guang's person, he naturally wants to surrender to Cheng Mo, at least express his attachment.
However, in half an hour, the stickers handed over were already piled up with a full plate of lacquer, all of whom were important ministers of the court. The dog who received the salutation was confused and muttered, "What's wrong?" ā
In the past, even if courtiers visited, there were not so many heavyweights at once.
The dog stood on the steps, glanced at the long carriage in front of the door, and the sound of talking from time to time in the carriage, and hurriedly entered the interior to report to Huo Shuhan.
Yesterday, Huo Guang called his daughter and son-in-law back to the house for dinner, and called Huo Shuhan to the study before the meal, told her that he was about to retire, and told her that she must be reconciled with Cheng Mo and his wife.
Huo Shuhan was taken aback when he heard that his father was going to retire, but he quickly understood the meaning of his words from his father's cunning eyes, so he nodded and said, "How can a daughter forget the grace of father and mother?" will definitely defend his mother's brothers and expand the Huo family. ā
Huo Guang sighed: "If you are a man, why should I worry? ā
The four sons are not successful, but the youngest daughter is sensitive and calm, and Huo Guang can only cry out in vain.
After Huo Shuhan and Cheng Mo had dinner in the General's Mansion, they returned home together, and in the carriage, Huo Shuhan mentioned that his father was about to retire to test Cheng Mo.
Cheng Mo took her in his arms, although his voice was soft, his tone was unquestionable, and said: "I have promised my father-in-law that I will take up the heavy responsibility of the glorious Huo clan, as long as he is good at life." After a pause, he said: "I have sent someone to find a ranger with strong martial arts, hoping to recruit the mansion and teach my father-in-law to practice swordsmanship or boxing to strengthen his body." ā
It is best to use Tai Chi Sword or Tai Chi Boxing, but Tai Chi has not yet been created in this era, and Cheng Mo has not learned it in his previous life, so he has to find another way to see if he can find a kung fu suitable for Huo Guang to practice, so that he will be physically strong after practice.
Huo Shuhan was very moved when he heard him say this, his big eyes looked at him, and he blew in his ear like a blue and said, "Xie Fujun." ā
She thought that Cheng Mo might promise to take care of her mother's family, but she didn't expect Cheng Mo not only to promise to shine on the lintel of the Huo family, but also to find a way to make her father physically strong, although even if she found a ranger who was willing to work, she might not be able to find a kung fu suitable for Huo Guang to practice, but Cheng Mo's mind still moved her.
After speaking, her tender cherry lips kissed Cheng Mo on the cheek.
Cheng Mo's heart swayed, his hand was slightly forced, almost rubbing her into his body, kissed her on the cherry lips, and said something in her ear, making her cheeks red. The two of them were entangled last night, and they couldn't talk to outsiders.
Therefore, after getting the dog's report, Huo Shuhan knew that these people were here to show goodwill. She picked up the stickers and looked at them one by one, and said, "The civil officials are invited to the flower hall for tea, and the military generals are invited to the hall for tea." ā
The civil officials and military generals led by Su Zhi rushed in, and were led to the flower hall and hall respectively by the small servants.
Huo Shuhan took the edict and went to the flower hall to meet the civil officials first. Su Zhi said: "Madame's demeanor is better than in the past. ā
"Prime Minister Su Cheng has a ruddy complexion, presumably there must be a happy event in the family?" Huo Shuhan said with a smile. When she smiled, the civil officials suddenly felt that the flower hall was a lot brighter, and many people thought with envy and hatred: "How can the Marquis of Yongchang marry such a beautiful woman with a prominent family background?" ā
After the hustle and bustle, Su Zhi presented the gift and said: "Cheng Weiwei shoulders the responsibility of protecting His Majesty, and he has to worry about the heating system, which is really hard, and the small gift is a little heartfelt." ā
It is not stated what is in the beautiful box.
From Su Zhi downwards, civil officials sent carefully selected gifts in order of official rank, and Huo Shuhan all thanked Puxiang and accepted them. Seeing her accept it, the civil officials all smiled, and some people felt that there were many rumors in the capital that could not be believed, and the Huo family had a gentle temperament, not as rumored to be, an ice beauty.
Pu Xiang took the gifts one by one and registered them.
After giving the gift, Su Zhi took the lead in saying goodbye. The gifts he brought were registered, and the civil officials all said goodbye one after another. The little guy who has his own Yongchang Marquis Mansion leads out of the house.
Huo Shuhan went to the hall where the military generals were. The highest rank of a military general is a general, commanding the whole army, and now served by Huo Guang, and the military generals in the hall can be said to be Huo Guang's subordinates.
When they saw Huo Shuhan, they were even more cordial. Since the reign of Emperor Zhao there has been no war, the hussar general, the general of the chariot cavalry, the general of the garrison three top generals title is vacant, the second level of the general Fuyuan for the grandson of Gongsun Hong, Gongsun Xi, attack Wuwei Hou, signed up to install heating equipment years ago, at the moment the craftsman has not been installed in the house.
Gongsun Xi smiled and said, "Disturb Madame, Xi is really damned." ā
The rest of the generals followed suit, and said something that should not be a working lady. There has been no war for more than 20 years, and while the generals are thinking about war, their status has also declined, if it weren't for General Huo Guangfeng, who is the head of the generals, I am afraid that the civilian officials will look down on the generals.
Now that Huo Guang has taken a back seat, he doesn't know what changes there are in personnel, and he doesn't know what the emperor will do next, and the generals are somewhat uneasy. They met today, and originally asked Cheng Mo to persuade the emperor to send troops to the Xiongnu and erase the Xiongnu from the map.
Now facing Huo Shuhan, it is inconvenient to say this.
Huo Shuhan still smiled and said: "Thank you for not giving up, visiting the mansion, my husband is not in the mansion, I should naturally come forward to entertain, why bother?" ā
Yu Linwei is the emperor's pro-army, and he once had a commander like Huo Quai, but since Cheng Mo's official worship of Wei Wei, for some reason, Gongsun Xi and Cheng Mo are not close.
This is also the reason why he feels embarrassed, he thought that he was the highest-ranking general in this dynasty except for Huo Guang, and he didn't care about Cheng Mo, the captain, but he didn't expect Huo Guang to retreat suddenly, which made him at a loss At the same time, he felt that the road ahead was boundless.
After the cold noise, under the leadership of Gongsun Xi, the generals gave a big gift.
Puxiang muttered while registering: "Ah Lang is going to make a windfall today." ā
The gifts these people give are worth a lot of money.
After sending off the generals, Huo Shuhan hurriedly sent someone to Weiyang Palace to report to Cheng Mo.
As soon as Cheng Mo came out of the Xuanshu Palace, he received a note from Huo Shuhan, and couldn't help laughing, saying, "They move fast." ā
I can't wait for him to leave the palace and return to his house, so he swarms to his house to give gifts, is it really good?
"Tell Madame, I know." He said to the little servant waiting at the gate of the palace.
It's just a gift, and if you accept it, you will receive it.
