Chapter 55: The Art of Complaining
With Ganfu's approval, Huo Guang returned home with great joy.
Gan Fu is a person who cherishes talents, since he found Huo Guang's huge Qi, he has the intention to accept apprentices, but he has to test Huo Guang's character, after all, from the outside, Huo Guang is not like a good young man in the traditional sense, but after contact, he found that although Huo Guang is as slippery as a loach, his character is not bad, and he can even be said to be very good.
Today, I found that he has a tough heart and can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and his last heartfelt words are honest and pure, and he has to accept this apprentice.
jumped into the house, but saw that someone seemed to be visiting the house, Huo Guang walked in with Zhang Jiaqi.
As soon as he entered the middle hall, he saw that Huo Zhongru had prepared a table of wine and food to entertain the two distinguished guests, and the two distinguished guests and Huo Guang and Zhang Jiaqi glanced at each other, and they were embarrassed for a while.
It's not someone else, it's the one who met Zhang Jiabo and Li Yi in Nulu before.
Of course, it was the other party who was more embarrassed, Huo Guangman sat on the edge of the table without caring and beckoned Zhang Jiaqi to sit down as well.
Huo Zhongru introduced Huo Guang with great interest: "Ah Guang, let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Jiabo is Jiaqi's own brother, a well-known talent, known as the head of our four talents in Hedong County." ”
Huo Zhongru had a smile on his face, but the head of the four talents of Hedong County seemed to have slapped Zhang Jiabo in the face, and he had just lost to Huo Guang today.
"This is also a great talent, and he is also a member of the Li family in Zhao County, their family is amazing, the ancestor of the Li family is Wu Anjun Li Mu, a famous figure, and now it is also a first-class family in Zhao County, this son is named Li Yi, he is a descendant of the Zong family, and their family's salt business in Zhao County is very large, this time I came to discuss the pearl salt with you."
Li Yi looked at Zhang Jiaqi and his backing Huo Guang, who slapped him before, with an embarrassed face, he never thought that this was the Huo Guang he was looking for, that is to say, he was Huo Quai's younger brother, wouldn't this provoke the wrong person.
For a while, it was like sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in the back, like a fish in the throat, and I couldn't tell how uncomfortable it was.
His face twitched, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Today, I am really fortunate to meet Brother Huo for the second time, and I am very lucky." ”
"Oh? Have you seen it? ”
Huo Guang chatted with Luan Er for nearly two hours before, this female Wenqing was too abrasive, and her stomach was hungry now, so she said while holding the vegetables to her mouth: "This person's words before deliberately provoked Zhang Jiaqi and led Zhang Jiaqi to do it, and then the other one overturned Zhang Jiaqi. ”
A straightforward narration told Zhang Jiabo and Li Yi that their faces were blue and black, which was extremely ugly.
Huo Zhongru was stunned, and just now he was chatting happily with the two, and his face was pale all of a sudden, without kindness.
The most surprising thing is Zhang Jiaqi, how can this kind of thing be said so directly in front of his father and the other party, you must know that he usually has conflicts with Zhang Jiabo and goes to his grandfather to complain, but every time he gets in exchange for his grandfather's scolding, favoring the other party, Zhang Jiaqi is too lazy to sue over time.
After finishing speaking, seeing that everyone stopped moving their chopsticks, Huo Guang warmly greeted Li Yi and Zhang Jiabo: "Eat, why don't you eat, don't you have an appetite?" I told the cook to burn a little more. ”
Li Yi forcibly endured his anger and unwillingness, this time he was ordered by his family to talk about the matter of pearl salt, if he messed up, he would inevitably be scolded, there are many people in every generation of a big family like them, even if it is a lot of descendants of the sect, pearl salt is very critical now, he can't rashly lose the opportunity, so he has to endure it.
"Brother Huo Guang, today's incident can be regarded as the fate between you and me, it is better to have a relationship than a grudge, I apologize to Brother Huo Guang, and please Brother Huo Guang Don't care." The posture is very low, but this also makes Zhang Jiabo even more embarrassed, what is he doing now.
"Oh, you're welcome, I'm a very simple person, if people treat me as a friend, I will take someone as a friend, if someone gives me a punch, I will return him seventy, eighty or ninety punches, since Brother Li said that this is a relationship, then let's eat and drink well."
Li Yi smiled reluctantly and tried to put some vegetables in his mouth.
Zhang Jiabo's face was full of embarrassment, sitting aside, he couldn't interject his words, and he didn't eat food, Zhang Jiaqi rarely saw Zhang Jiabo so deflated, and he ate two more bowls of rice in a very good mood.
After eating and drinking, the Huo family did not leave any guests, and Li Yi got up with interest: "It's getting late today, and I'll visit Brother Huo the next day." ”
"Brother Li is so polite."
Huo Guang also took Zhang Jiaqi to the door for the two, and Zhang Jiaqi looked at the back of the deflated Zhang Jiabo with excitement on his face: "It's so cool, I can finally cure this kid." ”
"But Brother Guang, I beat Li Yi, can he really not care?"
"Can you not care if you are slapped?"
"That's definitely not going to work."
"That's it, he definitely can't, just endure it, I don't plan to cooperate with him, since I have already made a feud, unless there are special circumstances, I will not cooperate with him."
Then Zhang Jiaqi pestered Huo Guang and asked: "Brother Guang, how did you do it, you said things so bluntly, your father won't blame you." ”
"I'm reasonable, as long as I take advantage, my father will definitely not blame, and will help me."
Zhang Jiaqi's face froze, and he said with some grievances: "It's better for your father, my grandfather knows to favor others." ”
"How can there be a person whose own generation does not favor his own children and grandchildren." Huo Guang said and looked at Zhang Jiaqi, it was obvious that Zhang Jiaqi was far inferior to Zhang Jiabo in these superficial skills, which was also the reason why he suffered this loss, even if the county magistrate Zhang was an elder of the Zhang family, even if he deliberately favored him, he himself was not angry, he couldn't fight, what could he do if he didn't take advantage of it?
Huo Guang thought that this was his younger brother after all, so he taught two sentences: "In the future, don't be impulsive when you encounter outside, try to make yourself the party that takes advantage of reason, if you really don't take advantage of it, you are a big family with at least 100 people, you have to find a way to tie your behavior and family interests together, just like today, if Zhang Jiabo dares to sue, and the people in your clan are in trouble, you will say that I am Huo Quzhi's younger brother, and you have a good relationship with Huo Qubing for the sake of the family, In the future, I will say something about the development of Balabala, and then say that Zhang Jiabo has offended me, what will happen to me in the future, and then say a bunch of things, as long as it makes sense, your grandfather will definitely help you. ”
Zhang Jiaqi nodded as if he didn't understand, he never thought that there were so many ways to sue these things, no wonder he suffered a loss every time, and he had to reflect deeply.
After teaching Zhang Jiaqi, Huo Guang said with a smile: "Do you have gold?" Lend me a little? ”
"How?"
Huo Guang scratched his head: "That, Jiaqi, I have a lot of places to spend money now, the salt company has to be established, I just bought a house before, and now I don't have any change in my hand, you look at it and lend me some first." ”
Zhang Jiaqi took out all his money very generously, all of which were broken silver and broken gold, but the added weight was not small.
