Chapter 109: The Elder and the Matchmaker

Song Yan said embarrassedly: "I thought you died outside, so I calculated 20% of the shares for you, who made you my brother."

I originally wanted to have one more son and be a righteous son for you, so that you don't even have a paper-burning person below, and lest there be no one to inherit the money, but I didn't expect you to be alive, it seems that the money can't reach my son, so I'll give it to you. ”

Song Yan is engaged in the shipping business, and the income is extremely rich, and the dividend of 20% of the shares is already a large amount.

Huo Yu only withdrew part of it, and the rest was still placed in Song Yan's place, he didn't have a family, and he didn't have much expenses.

Hearing that he was going to pay the money, Song Yan asked curiously, "Keep it, your family matter has been negotiated?" ”

Huo Yu snorted and said: "I came back to invite the elders to Baoding to discuss relatives, last time I took the silver, bought a house, and bought something for Miss Ming, and it was spent." ”

Song Yan laughed: "You now know why I am so focused on making money, you used to be alone and the family was not hungry, but now you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you know that the money is not enough to spend, and when you have children in the future, there will be more places to spend money."

Forget it, you are also a person with a family and a business, so much silver is not suitable for me, I will count all the money in the past few years to you, and the annual dividends in the future will be calculated separately, what do you think? ”

Huo Yu responded, and the next day, Song Yan asked people to carry the box containing cash silver to Huo Yu's house in the west of the city.

Huo Yu prepared a generous gift, and the next day he left the city and went to the Huo family.

The ancestral home of the Huo family is Jiangnan, after the establishment of the dynasty, the Taizu gave the capital, and the ancestral hall and sacrificial field of the Huo family are in Tongzhou, which is not far from the capital.

Since it was rumored that Huo Zhanpeng was involved with the lord of Dingxiang County in filial piety, the Huo clan has a lot of opinions about Huo Zhanpeng, and in the past ten years, he has only moved around during the New Year's holidays.

Huo Yu's name was taken by the elder Pinghou, although the elder Pinghou failed to get back his grandson from the Feng family, but after he came back, he added Huo Yu's name to the family tree under the witness of several clan elders.

Therefore, outsiders only recognize Huo Yu after returning to Beijing, but they don't know that he has been on the genealogy since he was born, and the elders of the Huo family have long known about his existence.

Knowing that Huo Yu was coming, the clan elders were very surprised, several clan elders of the same generation as the elder Pinghou all came to the living room, even the uncles and uncles also came, and the living room was full of people sitting and standing.

Looking at the appearance first, Huo Yu's eyebrows and eyes follow Huo Zhanpeng, but his nose and mouth are not like them, maybe he follows his mother;

Looking at the temperament again, maybe it was because he had been flying fish, Huo Yu was as cold as ice when he didn't smile, and when he stood there, the people in the room felt that his breath was suffocating.

If the elder Pinghou is the style of a person who has been in a high position for a long time, then Huo Zhanpeng is the style of a noble son, and Huo Yu is different from them, he has the ability and calmness that should not be at this age, several patriarchs looked at each other, I really didn't expect that Huo Zhanpeng would give birth to such a son.

When they learned that Huo Yu was no longer in Feiyuwei and had gone to the Xiaoqi Camp instead, a group of people in the Huo family were all secretly relieved in their hearts, and then they were also surprised, what were they worried about, worried that Huo Yu would arrest them and take them to prison? Obviously not!

The Huo clan was lively for two or three days, and Huo Yu told a clan elder that he was going to discuss his relatives, and the second clan elder didn't say a word, so he let his eldest son, who was also Huo Yu, call Huo Zhanqi from his uncle to go to Baoding.

Huo Zhanqi is one of the few scholars in the Huo family, born in the same jinshi, and has also served as a county magistrate and magistrate.

With his background as a Jinshi, there is not much room for growth, so Huo Zhanqi returned to his hometown at the age of forty, and is now the head of the Huo clan.

Don't underestimate this fellow jinshi, but he is the most famous person in the Huo family so far.

Although this dynasty allows the children of the nobles to be selected for the imperial examination, perhaps due to genetic reasons, among the descendants of these generals, one out of a hundred cannot pick out a reading seed, and there are many people like Song Yan who can make money by drilling camps.

Not only the Huo family, but also other nobles.

Although there are only three generations of the Ming family in Xicheng, there are two jinshi, two lifters, and one showman, which is a proper scholarly family and a noble family.

Therefore, this errand to Baoding to discuss relatives fell on the head of Huo Zhanqi, the most learned Huo Zhanqi of the Huo family.

Huo Yu and Huo Zhanpeng agreed on a day to go to Baoding, and then returned to the capital.

Last time, he invited Song Yan's wife, that is, the third wife of Anguo Mansion to Baoding, the third wife was young and thin-skinned, and the county lord of Dingxiang proposed to let the grandmother around him go with him, and the third wife was not embarrassed to refuse, and in the end, of course, nothing was negotiated.

Huo Yu learned from the pain and decided to hire a reliable matchmaker this time, and a young daughter-in-law like the third wife would definitely not be able to.

Living in Zaoshu Hutong for a while, Huo Yu also knows some things about the Ming family, Minghui and the eldest wife have a bad relationship, so Minghui's family affairs are all done by the Ming master.

Last time, it was because he didn't understand the situation that Huo Yu asked his female dependent to be a matchmaker, but now that he knows, he won't make the same mistake again.

It's just that the status is too high, and it's not okay if you're too young, and it's best to be a civil official, Huo Yu didn't expect that this matter was stuck with the matchmaker.

Although he has his own connections in the capital, but it is only limited to honorables, honorables and civil officials have always been two circles, plus he used to be the most hated by civil officials Feiyuwei, he wanted to be friends with others, and people didn't care about him.

The last one invited was Jin Wuwei's commander-in-law Yao Jiang, Yu Miao, Hubu Langzhong.

Yu Langzhong has just been transferred to the capital, his family and Yue's family are in Jiangnan, his biggest backer in the capital is his brother-in-law Yao Jiang, Yao Jiang asked him to make an iceman for a little brother, he agreed to come down, his brother-in-law's little brother, that is also his brother.

In fact, he is ten years older than Huo Yu, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is two generations.

The day before coming to Baoding, Huo Yu set up a banquet for Yao Jiang, and there were Yu Langzhong and Song Yan and others present.

Unexpectedly, Yao Jiang, who has always been punctual, came late, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked the guy to serve a pot of herbal tea, drank half a pot in one go, and then said: "Xiao Huo, I remember that you and Sun Fifteen knew each other before." ”

Huo Yu nodded: "When I was in Weihui a few years ago, he was my deputy for a few months, and after the meritorious service, he was transferred back to the capital and went to Jinwuwei. ”

"How is your relationship with him?" Yao Jiang asked.

Huo Yu didn't know why Yao Jiang asked about this, he said: "When I was in Jingwei, he was on an errand in the palace, and they didn't intersect with each other, in recent years, I can't stay in the capital for a few days, don't you say that I haven't paid attention, I don't seem to have seen Sun Xun for two or three years." ”

"Mmmmmm, it's best that you don't have a relationship with him, aren't you going to Baoding?

Sun Xun got into trouble in Baoding, and when he was about to get off duty today, His Majesty suddenly called me to the imperial study, and I knew that something might have happened as soon as I went in, because the old Meng Ge of the Criminal Department and the old Jiang of Dali Temple were all there, in addition to the two of them, there was also the loyal uncle who had not been in the court for a long time.

Ouch, Uncle Zhongyi seems to be ten years old, he can't stand, and it is said that he was carried in. ”

At this moment, even Song Yan was taken aback.

Uncle Zhongyi is not the founding noble, but the only uncle who was knighted by the first emperor.

Zhongyibo's name is You Guangsheng, he was originally a general of the Xiaoqi Battalion, there was an assassin in Beijing one year, You Guangsheng blocked an arrow for the first emperor with flesh and blood, although he was lucky to save his life, but he fell into a stubborn disease, and he hardly went to court at ordinary times, but he won the trust of two generations of kings.
