Chapter 124: Get on the bus first and buy a ticket later? The marriage of the champion Hou
"Sister-in-law?" As he spoke, Huo Guang was stunned for a moment.
In fact, he could guess it, but for some reason, he still froze for a moment.
Hussar General Huo Qubing is twenty years old this year, and it is normal to have women. In ancient times, marriages were early, how could they start a family as late as in modern times.
But most people generally have the impression that the twenty-year-old Huo Huqi is still single. The main reason is that Sima Qian's "Historical Records" mentions the sentence "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home"!
That sounds like
Some ambiguity!
Most people took the word "home" and started a family on the spot.
In fact.
He is the champion Hou Huo Quai's excuse in order to refuse His Majesty's reward for his luxurious mansion, which means that the disaster of the Huns has not been resolved, and the house residence will not be considered for the time being.
And not to say.
Before the Huns were killed, Huo Quai's illness would not be a family.
What if Huo Qu is sick and doesn't get married?
In another four years, he will go to the west, so where did he get his four-year-old son Huo Heng?
Huo Guang slowly woke up from his surprise at this time, and said with a smile to the woman with a slightly bulging abdomen, "It turns out to be a sister-in-law, hurry up, sit inside."
"No-three."
"Hurry up, prepare some dumplings for me, and eat dumplings today."
The woman brought back by Huo Quai's illness immediately giggled, and when she heard Huo Guang's words, she immediately asked, "What are dumplings?"
"One of the pasta dishes I make is a bit like the ravioli in the north." Huo Guang said without shame.
There is no such thing as dumplings in the Western Han Dynasty.
Earliest!
It also dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty when Zhang Zhongjing used medicinal things to treat patients, saying that it was to avoid frostbite on the ears.
Three Kingdoms period.
Dumplings just started to become popular and are known as crescent wontons.
As for ravioli?
This was found in the northern lands of the Western Han Dynasty, and it is said that it was because the northerners hated the two tribes of the Xiongnu and fed on their names.
After answering my sister-in-law's words.
Huo Guang turned his gaze to Brother Champion and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, why have I never heard you tell me?"
Hear this.
With a smile on his face, Huo Quzhi teased, "Does my brother need to tell you this? It's like you're in Chang'an City, and you have a good relationship with the little lady of which family, can you tell your brother?"
Hear this.
Huo Guang's face turned red, and he immediately said, "No, brother, I have always focused on my studies. For me, women are mostly a burden, and only without women in my heart can I achieve great things!"
"Oh?" Huo Quzhi's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and said, "Your Majesty told me, the daughter of the former Great Nong Ling, what's the matter with you?"
"Ahh
It's a possibility!
How could my brother say that it was her, although it was quite big, but it was not Yan Yu's turn.
And also.
Your Majesty is spreading rumors!
Obviously, he just took her out of the city according to Yan Yu's wishes, and happened to be in charge of building houses in the north.
Why does it have anything to do with yourself!
Forthwith.
Huo Guang shook his head and explained, "Brother misunderstood, I was entrusted by the former Great Farmer Ling Yanyi to take care of his family. After Yan Yi died, I also did it for him after his death, and I didn't have any other ideas."
After listening to the illness, the champion Hou Huo nodded and said with a smile: "That's good, I was originally going to say a few words to you for my brother, don't waste it on a woman at such a young age, but now look at me, it's because I think too much for my brother."
In fact.
Huo Guang really wants to reply to his brother!
I'm still so young, how can I be wasted on a woman!
Then.
Champion Hou Huo went sick and helped his inner man into the house.
Unusually cautious in his behavior.
Coupled with his sister-in-law's bulging belly, Huo Guang naturally thought of one thing, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, is she pregnant?"
"Yes, it should be seven months." Huo Quzhi said lightly.
Seven months?
So how does it look like it is not as big as the belly of a pregnant woman as expected?
Could it be that I didn't eat well!
Thinking of this, Huo Guang asked, "Brother, we are a family of brothers, not two words. Bring my sister-in-law this time, but what's the matter?"
Hear the words.
Champion Hou Huo nodded and said, "No wonder Your Majesty always praises you for being smart to me, it seems that my brother is indeed smart."
"Your sister-in-law, Sun Ying, used to be responsible for taking care of her brother's daily life."
"Now that she is pregnant, I have to train new soldiers according to His Majesty's orders, and I have no time to take care of her."
"So."
"I want to bring Sun Ying to you and help take care of one or two."
"I heard that in your restaurant, there are a lot of singers from Pingyang Mansion, all of them are women, so I can talk to your sister-in-law. Plus you have some opera here, which can relieve boredom."
After listening to Brother Champion's words, Huo Guang was a little confused.
What does this mean?
Let me take care of my sister-in-law?
But I'm here, it's a restaurant, why did the champion brother want to come here?
Immediately.
Huo Guang asked suspiciously, "Brother, you have a request, as a younger brother, Huo Guang should do it."
"Just."
"I don't understand, isn't my uncle's General's Mansion bad? Why don't you go there to live and raise the baby?"
Hearing Huo Guang's words, Huo Quzhi shook his head, sighed, and replied, "Uncle's General's Mansion is good, but unfortunately Uncle has a lot of things, and my aunt is seriously ill, so it's not good to trouble Uncle."
"Besides."
"Those three cousins in my uncle's house are frizzy, and it won't be good if they accidentally bump into your sister-in-law while playing."
All right.
It turned out that the champion brother was out of this concern.
My aunt's condition is indeed serious, and it is not troublesome.
The three brothers of the Wei family are also similar, frizzy, and they really have to worry about sending their sister-in-law there to live and raise their babies.
And he is Huo Quai's younger brother.
A person who has worked hard to build such a big family business in Chang'an, and his brother can indeed feel a lot more at ease by putting his sister-in-law in his younger brother's restaurant.
At least.
If His Majesty suddenly ordered Huo Qubing to lead the troops to the battle, and his sister-in-law had his younger brother to take care of, then he would not care about the affairs of his family when he went out to lead the troops to fight.
The ancients were not as dirty as modern people, and they thought about those messy things.
The eldest brother is the father.
The eldest sister-in-law is the mother.
Dignity and ethics are very important.
Thereupon.
Huo Guang agreed to his brother's request, and there were many people in the restaurant, but there was just one more pair of chopsticks. What's more, this person is still his future sister-in-law!
"Brother rest assured, brother will take care of my sister-in-law." Huo Guang said.
Then.
Huo Quzhi said again: "There is one more thing for my brother, that is, the marriage with your sister-in-law, and you need to invite the second elder to come."
"Actually, last year, I thought about getting married."
"But there are many affairs in the army, and they have been delayed again and again, and now that Sun Ying is pregnant, she can't delay it."
According to tradition, in ancient times, marriage should be done first and rebirth children.
But this is just wishful thinking on the part of modern people, and in ancient times, there were many cases of getting on the bus first and then buying tickets.
That's pretty good.
There are even some people who run away when they get on the bus and don't buy tickets!
Due to the openness of the Han Dynasty to sexuality, such things often happened.
Huo Quzhi still wanted to get married, and from this point of view alone, he was much stronger than his biological father Huo Zhongru.
When Huo Guang heard this, he immediately clicked
Tou echoed: "That's how it should be, in this way, my brother will go back to his hometown in Pingyang, bring our father over, and I will handle the marriage planning."
"That's right."
"Where is my sister-in-law's house?"
The words fell.
Huo Guang's eyes looked at Sun Ying and asked her where her mother's house was.
Women in the Han Dynasty often used the word "Ying" in their names.
For example, Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, and Sima Qian's daughter Sima Ying, etc.
After Sun Ying heard Huo Guang's words, she was a little lonely and said, "I have been lonely since I was a child, and I begged for some food in the Hexi region with my brother. In the early years, the army was in chaos, and my brother died under the sword of the Huns, so he has been following the general."
Oh...
No wonder this Sun Ying's appearance is not very beautiful, but he can capture the heart of the elder brother.
It turned out to be a long-term love.
Well.
It means both!
Seeing that his sister-in-law was lonely, Huo Guang hurriedly apologized and said, "Sister-in-law, I asked abruptly, don't be sad. After you marry my brother, we will be a family and we will have a new life in the future."
"Here's what I think."
"Marriage is for marriage, my brother is married, and my sister-in-law is for marriage. This restaurant is considered to be my mother's family, so I will marry here."
"My brother is temporarily living in the General's Mansion, and when the time comes, he will get married in the General's Mansion, how about it?"
After speaking.
Huo Guang's eyes were looking at his brother, after all, he was the protagonist in this matter.
I saw Huo Quzhi nodding and said, "It's okay, Sun Ying, what do you think?"
"Well, the general thinks it's okay, that's fine!" Sun Ying nodded.
These two.
When he spoke, he was very crisp, and he didn't look fleshy and greasy at all.
The three of them were talking.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "Childe, Huo Hussar, Lady Hussar, the dumplings are ready and ready to eat!"
Hear this.
Huo Quzhi on the side frowned and said, "What kind of food, it's ready so quickly?"
The shopkeeper immediately bowed down and said: "It's soup, wrap some meat stuffing with the dumpling skin prepared in advance, you can directly put it into the pot, it is very convenient, and the taste is also delicious, and the guests of this Le Restaurant love to eat it!"
It is recorded in the "Historical Records".
Champion Hou Huo is a complete foodie.
Even when marching and fighting, you have to bring a good cook.
Of course.
It is not known whether this is deliberately darkened by historians, or whether it is true.
Anyway.
In the later book "Historical Records" made by Ma Qian of Taishi Company, there is a lot of irony in the description of Wei Huo and the others. And for the flying general Li Guang, he is quite appreciative.
Wait for three bowls of steaming dumplings to be served.
Huo Quai's bowl, Huo Guang's bowl, and Sun Ying's bowl were quickly finished.
After eating.
Champion Hou still looked a little unsatisfied, and said, "This dumpling is very delicious, Huo Guang, how do you make it, is it pork filling, how to eat it, and it tastes like chicken!"
Huo Guang then smiled and said, "There is some chicken soup in the meat filling, which is why it is so delicious."
After listening.
Champion Hou Huo nodded again and again, "I see, it's delicious, it's delicious!"
Side.
Sun Ying heard Huo Huqi say that it was delicious, although she was a little happy, but she still said, "General, if you think it is delicious, I will learn it in the future and often cook it for you."
Presumably.
Sun Ying's cooking skills are also excellent, otherwise she would not have said such things.
What is the saying?
If you want to tie a man's heart, you must first tie a man's stomach.
This.
Not without reason.
Huo Huqi immediately raised his hand and said, "Sun Ying, you take care of the fetus, these things
Don't even think about it."
Sun Ying nodded and said, "No."
Seeing the two of them talking like this, Huo Guang couldn't bear it anymore!
Boy.
Abuse a dog to your face, right?
"Ahem, brother, I'll prepare my sister-in-law's room first, do you have any luggage?" Huo Guang interrupted the conversation between the two in time.
Stay one more second.
Huo Guang was afraid that he would be fed.
After a day of rest, his brother Huo Qu was sick and asked him to be allowed to go back to his hometown in Pingyang to pick up the second elder.
The Han Dynasty valued filial piety.
Huo Quai's request, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not allow it, and even allowed him to return to his hometown in Hedong.
And Huo Guang is naturally planning for his brother's marriage.
Of course.
In addition to Zhang Luo's marriage, he also has to deal with his own affairs, such as the matter of Chang'an Le Restaurant.
Although Chang'an Le at this time has been turned into ruins under a fire, its reputation is still there. Huo Guang wanted to take over this plate at this time, in addition to the Li family, he had to go through the other two companies.
These two are the Sang family Shang family represented by Sang Hongyang, and the Yang family represented by Chiquan Hou Yang Yin!
Sang Hongyang doesn't need to be introduced, he can now sit in the position of the big farmer, thanks to Huo Guang's help.
As for Chiquan Hou Yang Yin?
Huo Guang has never seen this person.
But.
The Yang family behind him, Huo Guang knows it very well.
Grandfather Yang Xi!
The corpse of Xiang Yu was sealed and given to the Marquis of Chiquan, and the Yang family was established since then, and gradually branched out in the Han Dynasty, forming a huge family.
The Chang'an Le Restaurant, which was copied from the business model of this room, was built by these three companies.
Because of Li Ling's matter.
Huo Guang was already coming to the Li family's part about the ownership of Chang'an Le, so now he invited Yang Yin and Sang Hongyang over.
Of course.
This time, we are talking about cooperation, not embezzling the part of the two of them that they have invested in Chang'anle.
Sang Hongyang saw the joy of the organization here, so he asked curiously, "Huo Yilang, why did you suddenly suspend business today, is there anything good about it?"
"Of course there are good things, but it's just a family matter, and it's inconvenient to explain it to you now." After Huo Guang paused, he continued to ask, "Where is Chiquan Hou Yang Yin?"
The Yang family is a big family with many heirs.
And Yang Yin inherited the title of his grandfather Yang Xi, and was named Marquis of Chiquan by His Majesty, and naturally he was also the head of the Yang family this time.
Plus older.
For the request of a junior like Huo Guang, even if he doesn't come, it is normal.
However, Sang Hongyang said, "The head of the Yang Yin family is very busy, and it is estimated that he will have to wait a lot of time? Regarding the matter of Chang'an Le, Huo Yilang might as well hand over the matter with me first."
"Chang'an Le Restaurant has been burned to a piece of char because of the fire."
"Why do you insist on taking this Chang'an Le Restaurant?"
"Is it because of the fame of those three words "brand"?"
Of course, Sang Hongyang didn't understand Huo Guang's operation, in terms of his businessman's thinking, this was a big loss than trading.
There's no need to collect a ruin!
Let alone.
Huo Guang also has his own restaurant, even if he wants to open a second one, it is better to open it in another place!
For this issue.
Huo Guang just smiled faintly and explained, "Do you think I bought a restaurant, and it is the three words "Chang'an Le"?"
"Huh."
"No, what I really want is the two of you!"
