Chapter 342: Two Choices
Wen Chang still lives in the old academy street, living in the same yard with Mingda, Mingda is going to end in two or three months, now is the critical time to study, he buries his head in hard reading every day, Wen Chang is idle and bored, and now Huo Yu asked him to go to Qin County, he is very happy.
Sending Wen Chang away, when Huo Yu returned to the main courtyard, Minghui had already gone to the workshop.
He heard Minghui say that he wanted to make more high-quality fragrant cakes while the autumn was cool, and now the family has moved into a big house, and the family has more people and more expenses.
Now that Huo Yu has been transferred back to the capital, there is no more double income in Xiaoqi Camp, and he can't afford to support this big mansion or these people up and down the family with his monthly income alone.
Although he participated in Song Yan's business, no one knew how much income he could make at the end of the year, unlike Hua Qianchang, not to mention the shops in the other three places, just look at this one in the capital, every day customers are like clouds, and a fool can guess that the business must be good.
Speaking of this, Huo Yu also had to admire Minghui's vision, this shop in the capital was a joint venture between her and the county lord of Xinyang, and those people were red-eyed, and they didn't dare to hit Hua Qianbian with their ideas.
Huo Yu remembered Huo Houye's words to explain Hui, but at this moment, he caught a glimpse of Huo Jin coming over with Duoduo.
Huo Yu's good mood disappeared in an instant.
"Big brother." Huo Jin stepped forward to give a salute, this is last night, Minghui specially asked Steward Ge to teach, the etiquette of Pingsuli, Steward Ge can teach it, except for the palace.
Huo Yu saw that although his demeanor was still a little rusty, his attitude was respectful, and he didn't have the cowering and overwhelmed look he had yesterday, and his expression was a little dark: "Do you have something to do here?" ”
Huo Jin said respectfully: "Sister-in-law asked me to help with the work." ”
Huo Yu frowned, making incense is a delicate job, even Duoduo can't help, why did he call him over?
He looked at Duoduo, and Duoduo hurriedly said: "The young master went to chop wood early in the morning and did all the work of Duoduo, and after the eldest grandmother heard about it, she asked the young master to clean up the bark and wood." ”
Huo Yu remembered that Ming Huitun had a lot of bark and wood, which were said to be spices and materials used to make incense, Huo Yu said to Huo Jin: "You live here first, don't run around, tomorrow I will take a leave of absence, and I will take you to Tongzhou." ”
A flash of disappointment flashed in Huo Jin's eyes, he lowered his head and whispered.
Huo Yu waved his hand and asked Duoduo to take Huo Jin to see Minghui.
Look at the time when it is almost time for the next dynasty, Huo Yu changed his official uniform and was about to go to Fusi Yamen to see Ji Mian, and was about to call the cabbage to go out, when a small servant ran over and said: "Uncle, Liu Cheng from the Changping Marquis Mansion is here." ”
Liu Cheng is Huo Houye's long-term entourage, and he was the one who sent Huo Jin over yesterday.
"He's just in time, let him come to the study."
Even if Liu Cheng doesn't come, Huo Yu is ready to send someone to inform Huo Houye, and tomorrow he will send Huo Jin to the Tongzhou clan and let Huo Houye take care of it himself.
Now that Liu Cheng is here, it also saves people from having to run again.
Liu Cheng entered the house with a smile on his face, he came to give silver, but the silver was a little less, and Huo Houye only let the account pay one hundred taels.
Huo Houye said that in the future, people will send silver over every month.
One hundred taels a month, more than enough to feed one Huo Jin, but can Huo Hou Ye guarantee that he will send the silver on time every month?
Huo Yu didn't believe it, and Liu Cheng, who was the elder follower of Huo Houye, didn't believe it even more.
Huo Yu saw the ten silver tickets of ten taels given by Liu Cheng, he didn't touch them, and said coldly: "You go back and tell him, either I will send Huo Jin back to the clan, let the clan elders come forward, and find a family in the clan to raise him, if Huo Hou Ye is not ashamed, he will hand over the hundred taels to the clan, maybe someone will be willing to raise a son for him;
Either when he dies, the clan elders will preside over the division of the family, and give us my share, along with what Huo Jin deserves, since there is no father, then the eldest brother should be the father, and before Huo Jin becomes an adult, I will take care of him.
These two roads, Huo Houye can choose one of them, I will go to Tongzhou tomorrow, Huo Houye had better make a choice before this. ”
Hearing Huo Yu say that he wanted to split up, Liu Cheng's eyes were about to pop out, his parents were there, and he didn't separate the family, no wonder Huo Yu said that he thought that Huo Hou Ye was dead.
Huo Yu didn't give Liu Cheng a chance to beg bitterly, and after expressing his attitude, he asked Liu Cheng to be sent out.
Liu Cheng returned to the mansion, Huo Hou Ye was sitting on the Taishi chair with a horse and a golden horse, and the emperor punished him for grounding, he just had an excuse not to go to court earlier.
Liu Cheng stubbornly told Huo Yu's words, but he didn't dare to mention Huo Yu's sentence "Then treat him as dead".
That's it, it still made Huo Houye so angry that he smashed the teacup and kicked over the chair.
"Rebel, this rebel! Ben Hou is still alive and well, but he actually wants to split up? Is he when I'm dead? ”
Liu Cheng thought to himself, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, uncle is really when you die.
But he couldn't say this, let alone say it, Huo Houye didn't dare to beat Huo Yu, but he dared to beat him, and he could beat him to death.
The gods fight, and the imps suffer.
"The uncle didn't say that he had to split up, he also said that he could send the little master back to Tongzhou and let the clan elders go."
Before Liu Cheng's words were finished, he was rudely interrupted by Huo Houye: "Nonsense, what kind of bad idea is he, send Huo Jin back to Tongzhou?" Let the whole clan see Ben Hou's jokes? Besides, Benhou's son, why should he let others raise him? Why? Do they deserve it? ”
Liu Cheng muttered quietly: "Didn't you still let the uncle raise the little master?" ”
His voice was not loud, but he was still heard by Huo Houye: "Can that be the same?" Huo Yu is the son of Benhou, he is the eldest brother, and it is natural for the eldest brother to raise his younger brother, and it is the same reason to sue the Yamen. ”
Liu Cheng had no choice but to persuade: "But now the uncle also said, he said that there are only those two roads, there is nothing else, by the way, the uncle will take the little young master back to Tongzhou early tomorrow morning, you see, do you also go together, so as not to get the Shi clan to point to the family, let them take care of the little master, if it is a good family, if you encounter that kind of mercenary, maybe you will swallow the silver you gave to the little master, if you just detain the little young master behind your back, I am afraid that they will raise the little young master crookedly, the little young master is so old, he has not read a day of books." ”
"Ben Hou just doesn't want people to raise him crookedly, so he lets Huo Yu take care of him, this is Ben Hou looks up to him, change him to someone else, Ben Hou still doesn't let it, this rebel, he knows that he is against Ben Hou."
At this moment, there was a noise outside the door, the woman's sharp voice, accompanied by abuse, Huo Hou Ye was annoyed.
He could hear that this was Huo Shanshan, the only child favored by Huo Houye among the three children born to the master of Dingxiang County.
But since the last time, Huo Shanshan asked the second old lady to complain in front of the Queen Mother, Huo Houye has been disappointed in this daughter.
In particular, he heard that Huo Shanshan ran to Huo Yu's house to make a fuss, not only did he not gain the upper hand, but he was also slapped twice by Minghui, and Huo Houye's attitude towards Huo Shanshan changed from disappointment to disgust.
