Chapter 8: Uncle Shi

In the evening of the same day, the Aoyama departed from the pier.

The Aoyama was large and magnificent, not like a merchant ship, but rather a private pleasure boat.

The bow of the ship is planted with the dart flag of the Weixing Dart Bureau, and there are big words on both sides of the hull "Aoyama".

Although it is fast to take the waterway, she did not dare to take the waterway in her previous life, and the waterway from Xiangping Mansion to the capital only occupies one road on the Anjiang River, which is too easy to catch up. Later, Huo Shan rescued her, and then changed to the waterway.

However, the boat used that time was not so big or so magnificent. There weren't so many sailors and dart masters on the ship.

There are several rooms on the Aoyama. Each of the three of them had their own room, which was large and comfortable, and the bedding was brand new.

Han Youning sat in front of the window and watched as Luping's Mansion was gradually left behind.

The river is wide and stable, the smoke and waves are vast, and the ships are shuttling like weaving, busy and orderly.

Gradually, she discovered a phenomenon, the Aoyama went all the way unimpeded and traveled extremely fast.

All the ships were making way for them, and there were even people on board who stood on deck to salute the Aoyama.

A voice came from afar: "Please say hello to Mr. Huo!" ”

Only then did Han Youning realize the high prestige of Huoshan, this Qingshan should be exclusive to Huoshan, and the merchant ships walking on the water should recognize it. No wonder Manager Zhang was so out of shape in the afternoon.

The more doubts she had in her heart.

Huo Shan has such a status, why did he have to take her this trip in his past life and this life?

Since he hasn't walked darts for more than ten years, why did he meet her on the dart road in his previous life?

This time, Manager Zhang rejected her, why did Huo Shan agree again?

Han Youning didn't think that he came for the 60,000 taels of silver, such a person has a good chest, and he can't be impressed by money.

In his previous life, after he sent her to the capital, they never met again, and they never crossed paths again.

After her father, Han Jun, heard her say that the Weixing Dart Bureau protected each other, he specially went to the branch of the Weixing Dart Bureau in the capital and prepared a thank you gift for them. After that, I didn't hear about any involvement between the Dingguo Mansion and the Weixing Dart Bureau.

So what is Huoshan for?

This thing seems to be done without a beginning or an end, and people can't see why.

Han Youning went out of the room and heard Ling'er in the next room vomiting upside down, and she was seasick. She went to ask the cook for a few pieces of ginger for Ling'er and pasted them on the acupuncture points.

Ling'er complained while spitting, "Miss, it's a shame for you to take care of that jade girl......"

Han Youning remembered the dignified and decent faces with smiles, but they were secretly filthy and ate people without spitting out bones. Compared to them, Yu Niang doesn't know how much better.

She patted Ling'er on the back, "Ling'er, people in this world, as long as they don't harm you, it's rare, and Yu Niang's willingness to take risks to help us is even more commendable." I am the only one who can be used by me now, how will I gain a foothold in the capital in the future? ”

Although Ling'er is also grateful for Yu Niang's help, in the end, she has been taught etiquette by rules and regulations in the house, and she is not used to the style of a woman in the dust.

She muttered, "I heard my mother say that the rules of the Dingguo Mansion are very big, and it would be good if Yu Niang didn't trouble you when she got there." ”

"Don't be afraid, I'm in trouble. I can't say, Yu Niang is the nemesis of those who are sweet-faced and bitter? ”

When Ling'er was in Chen's Mansion, everyone was kind to each other, even if there was intrigue, it was just a small fight, and I didn't know how troublesome a sweet-faced person could be.

Thinking of Yu Niang's open-mouthedness, she still couldn't help but worry.

The door was open, and there was a faint sound of Yu Niang's coquettish laughter outside.

Ling'er pushed Han Youning, "Miss, go and see ......"

Han Youning went out of the room and followed the sound to the aft deck.

The deck is wide, with a set of tables and chairs, Huo Shan sits leisurely, watching the sunset melt gold, and the colorful glow is gorgeous.

Yu Niang wore a big red silk skirt with flowers all over it, which was very lively. She went out with the people in the dart game this afternoon, presumably she bought it at that time.

Yu Niang sat opposite Huo Shan and looked at him stupidly, "I can play the pipa, what tune does Mr. Huo want to listen to?" ”

Huo Shan pointed to the river outside the ship and asked, "Do you know what it's like to fall from the deck into the river?" ”

Yu Niang covered her mouth and giggled, "I haven't fallen yet, but it must be very uncomfortable." What is this, you ask? ”

Huo Shan said lightly, "If you make noise in front of me again, you will soon be able to taste that taste." ”

Yu Niang's laughter stopped, her face turned red, she snorted coldly and got up and left with a handkerchief.

When he passed by Han Youning's side, he scolded, "Stinky boy can't rest and come out to do something!" ”

Han Youning replied to her back, "Mother, I'm a little hot, come out and blow the wind." ”

"Where is it so hot...... Hurry down when the wind blows, I've made you ice powder! ”

Han Youning's heart was warm, she just mentioned yesterday that she wanted to eat ice powder, and the ice powder made by Yu Niang was delicious.

"I see, mother!"

Huo Shan shook his head with a light smile, took out a set of cups, and poured tea.

"Little Master Wei, drink tea."

Han Youning thanked him and sat down opposite him, "I don't know something, please ask Mr. Huo." ”

Huo Shan said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Han Youning looked at him, "You haven't taken a dart for more than ten years, why are you willing to take my dart?" ”

Huo Shan asked rhetorically, "Don't you think sixty thousand taels of silver is a lot?" ”

Han Youning's round little face was full of seriousness, "I don't think 60,000 taels of silver can impress Mr. Huo's dart." ”

Huo Shan laughed.

"I don't ask you where you come from, but you interrogate me. Little boy, then I have to ask you, are you surnamed Wei? ”

Han Youning furrowed his eyebrows.

Huo Shan is so calm and calm, he must have known her origins, and he also knew that the Chen family had been wiped out.

She took a sip of tea and looked at Huo Shan calmly, "You know where I come from. I'm afraid that as soon as I enter the door of your dart game, you already know my identity. ”

Huo Shan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? How so? ”

Han Youning said, "The prestige dart bureau has been in the world for more than 20 years, relying not only on martial arts and morality, but also without extreme caution, I am afraid that it will not be able to go today." And Mr. Huo doesn't seem to be the kind of person who acts rashly. ”

Huo Shan squinted, as if he was looking at her, and as if he was looking at Luoxia behind her.

"You're fifteen?"

"Yes."

Huo Shan admired, "With this kind of knowledge, it's not like a fifteen-year-old girl." Second Master Chen is well educated. ”

He really knew.

Han Youning leaned forward, his eyes shining with brilliance, "Do you recognize my father?" ”

Huo Shan smiled, "The most dealings with the dart bureau are the major firms, and Second Master Chen is also a well-known figure in the southwest, and the firms are all over the north and south of the Great Zhou, so it's not normal to not recognize them." ”

Han Youning also reacted that the second uncle was bound to deal with the dart game.

"So, you're taking the dart for an old relationship?"

"Yes."

This is by far the most plausible explanation, although it may not be that simple.

She got up and bowed, "Little girl, thank Uncle Shi for his help." ”

Huo Shan frowned slightly, he didn't expect that he suddenly had a niece in the world, and this girl climbed down the pole neatly.

"You're welcome, sit down and talk."

Han Youning's eyes dimmed, "Father, he...... Do you know what happened in the Chen Mansion? ”

Huo Shan's face was a little more serious, "The mountain bandits are rampant, Miss Chen mourns." ”

"So, the government is determined to be looted by mountain bandits?"

Huo Shan nodded.
