Chapter 5: The People Who Want to See It
The end of the unitary time.
Jingfeng Temple has become more lively.
Huo Yao's thirty warships landed in Jiangzhou, like dark clouds pressing down on the territory, the momentum was huge, and Xiang Rushan naturally got the news as soon as possible.
Knowing that Huo Yao was coming to the Zheng family, he also hurried over.
Huo Yao sat in the Taishi chair in the courtyard, his eyes drooping slightly, and he drew his sword.
Xiang Rushan saluted respectfully: "The lower official Xiang Rushan, the Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Division, has seen Governor Huo." ”
Huo Yao wiped the blade of his sword with a brocade hand, tilted his head and glanced at Rushan with his afterglow, but ignored him, and lowered his head to wipe his sword.
Zheng Shengrong relieved the embarrassment and said flatteringly: "Governor Huo, dinner is ready, and Lord Xiang is also here, why don't we move to the dining hall together?" ”
Huo Yao originally didn't plan to dine with the people of the Zheng family, polish the sword, he threw the sword to Huo Yi, and was just about to say 'no need', when he suddenly thought of Zheng Huanjie, his eyes turned slightly, and he said lightly: "Then I will bother Lord Zheng." ”
"Don't work hard, don't work hard, and being able to serve Governor Huo is a blessing for the lower officials."
This is telling the truth, Zheng Shengrong will never be able to climb such a pride in the sky in his life, and he doesn't know where the rich wind blew from made him such a good thing.
Zheng Shengrong said earnestly with a stammering mind.
Huo Yao stood up, dusted off the hem of his clothes, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Xiang Rushan dared to straighten up at this time, and his back was already drenched in cold sweat.
Although he is the head of the Jiangzhou shipbuilding department, and all the ships he built are for the use of this Governor Huo, but to be honest, he has never seen this person.
This person is in a high position and has never come to a place like Jiangzhou.
How did you come here today?
Zheng Shengrong said that Governor Huo is here for office affairs, which is even more strange, Jiangzhou has official business that Governor Huo wants to do?
Glancing at the tall back of the man in front of him, Xiang Rushan's heart was always uneasy.
——
Although Jingfeng-in and Xinghua-in are next door, the way to the dining hall does not pass through Xinghua-in at all.
The dining hall is on the east side.
Huo Yao was really disappointed for a while.
After going to the dining hall, I also saw the female dependents of the Zheng family at the door of the dining hall, but there was no Zheng Huanjie among the female dependents of the Zheng family.
Huo Yao's mood became more and more uncomfortable.
He wants to see the people he can't see.
The people he didn't want to see came and went.
Huo Yao's face was not depressed.
Xiang Peony immediately took Zheng Zhuxuan and Zheng Yuying forward to salute.
Xiang Wei Lin also came, his mind was deep, his face was as pale as a scorn, but with a smile on his face, he also followed the salute very respectfully: "Governor Huo." ”
Huo Yao ignored Xiang Peony and the others, and only glanced at Wei Lin, this uncle of the country in Jiangzhou is such a lackey, and he has also become a hero who washed his Huo family with blood.
The dignified Huo family, in the end, anyone can come and take a bite.
Huo Yao's eyebrows became heavier.
The change in his mood made the whole surroundings feel like a cold winter, Zheng Shengrong thought that he saw the displeasure of the Zheng family's daughters, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Governor Huo, the wife and daughter of the lower officials are not sitting with us, their seats are on the other side of the screen, if Governor Huo still minds, then the lower officials let them go to eat elsewhere." ”
"No need."
Huo Yao forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and said lightly: "Since the daughters of the Zheng family are here, why didn't they look at another girl?" ”
Zheng Shengrong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought, what Governor Huo said should be Zheng Huanjie's evil seed, right?
Sure enough, during the day, Zheng Huanjie made a big fuss in the house regardless of her face, but she was still written down by Governor Huo, this evil obstacle is just not good to see him, and Governor Huo is too, what to do with a good kind of evil.
Zheng Shengrong was so stupid that he didn't know how to reply for a while.
Xiang Peony replied to her husband: "Governor Huo doesn't know, although Zheng Huanjie's surname is Zheng, she is not a family with us, her mother doesn't know the inspection points, and she has been expelled from the house a long time ago, she is not a person from Zheng Mansion, Zheng Huanjie is even more not, our Zheng Mansion banquets distinguished guests, and there is no reason to invite an outsider." ”
Alien.
Huo Yao chewed on these two words, and the heaviness brought by these two words.
He didn't say anything, just looked at Peony with dark eyes, and nodded, as if to say, I see.
He stepped into the dining room.
When I passed by Zheng Yuying, I saw Zheng Yuying's eyes on herself.
He paused slightly, examined the wound on her face, glanced at her, and entered the room.
——
Aungka-in.
Zheng Huanjie, Aunt Jin, and Qing Zhu sat down to eat together.
Zheng Huanjie said: "Now that there is a big man living in Zheng Mansion, it is better for us to have less contact, close the front yard, move the backyard, and open a road in the bamboo forest to go out, leading to the outside, and then we will use the backyard as the door, and it is convenient to enter and exit, and we do not have to be restricted by the access control of Zheng Mansion." ”
In the past, the backyard was not opened for safety reasons.
After all, it is difficult to guard one courtyard gate, let alone two.
It is somewhat safer to enter and exit from the gate of the Zheng Mansion.
But now in this situation, Zheng Huanjie doesn't want to have any contact with Huo Yao anymore, so it's better to avoid it.
Mother Kim agreed: "I'll find someone to open the way tomorrow." ”
"Well, bring more money and find someone safe and reliable."
"Don't worry, girl, the old slave should be cautious."
Qing Zhu sighed: "We don't have much silver in our hands, and it's only enough to last for two months, and when July comes, we will pick the apricots in this courtyard and sell them, and the silver we earn will last until the end of the year, but in the spring of the next year, we will have no money in our hands." ”
She looked at Zheng Huanjie: "Girl, we have to think of other ways to make money." ”
yes, it's hard to move without money.
In the previous life, Zheng Huanjie pinned her hopes on her biological father, who had never met, thinking that since she was her biological father, she would naturally treat her very well, and her biological father was also the prime minister, and she was extremely rich, even if she had no silver and two sides, she would still live as she wished.
Before she went to Yunzhou City, all her expenses were left to her by her mother.
Before she was reborn, she spent what her mother had left behind.
But there weren't many of those left, and, of the few that were left, she didn't want to use them anymore.
Relying on this courtyard full of apricots, it can be sold for a lot of money, but as Qing Zhu said, although the money from the sale is a lot, it is only enough to last until the end of the year.
Zheng Huanjie didn't understand anything in the previous life, she didn't have a mother when she was young, she lived a poor life, she recognized her father, her life seemed glamorous, but in fact, she was ostracized and cold-eyed, married her husband, she thought she could live better, but her husband hated her deeply, and she was never happy in her life.
In order to be liked by her husband, she worked hard to make herself excellent, learning to be in charge, learning to ride a horse, learning to learn martial arts, learning to study medicine, and learning to stand side by side with her husband, but no matter how much she did, her husband didn't look at her more.
That year, the wind and snow were extremely extreme, Huo Yao's battleship was trapped at sea, seriously injured, and no one rescued her, it was she who endured the cold winter, crawled over the frozen sea step by step, and woke up Huo Yao, but she almost died, but Huo Yao didn't care about her, abandoned her at will, and left her to fend for herself.
