148 The little fox played tricks with the old fox
At this time, Ying Jinqiao, who accompanied his father and several uncles and uncles to stand at the gate to greet the guests, also noticed Huo Wenan and his party.
"Father, uncles, Huo is at the helm and all the distinguished guests have arrived."
Hearing this, several of Mrs. Ying's children all stepped forward with smiles on their faces and greeted Huo Wen'an warmly. "The distinguished guests are here, and if you miss the distance, please take the helm of Huo, Lord Yaonongxing and Doctor Ye Haihan!"
Huo Wen'an looked sick and sick, and greeted them slowly.
Ying Jinqiao and his father personally accompanied Huo Wenan and his party into the house, while the other uncles stayed outside to continue to greet them. Walking into the courtyard of the house and through the second courtyard, they finally saw the main living room full of red lanterns.
An old lady with gray hair and an ochre-red Tang costume sat on a Taishi chair, and below her, sat a number of powerful people with extraordinary status.
Xu Xingguang also saw Jin Yunhai in it.
Jin Yunhai is qualified to sit here, representing the Xia Kingdom Alliance government.
Jin Yunhai glanced at them and then withdrew his gaze.
Huo Wen'an walked in front with Xu Xingguang, he bowed slightly to the old lady who looked kind but did not lose the demeanor of the housewife, and said: "Huo Wen'an is at the helm of the Huo Consortium, on behalf of the Huo family, congratulations to the old lady on her high birthday!" β
After Huo Wen'an finished speaking, Zheng Lie walked out from the back with a square box, he bent down and sent the box to the old lady, and the housekeeper standing beside the old lady opened the lid of the box.
Inside, there is a precious deep-sea natural red coral, and the best thing is that the top of the coral looks like a peach.
"This is a deep-sea natural red coral, which was discovered by the townspeople of Siwei Town, Shenyin Island, in a trench of 2,300 meters in the deep sea 60 years ago. Because its shape resembles a peach, it is named the deep-sea peach. β
"Twelve years ago, the mayor of Siwei Town gave my father a deep-sea peach to celebrate his 80th birthday. Now, twelve years later, my father is still in good health, and this thing may really be Geely's. β
"Because my father is old and inconvenient to travel long distances, I came to congratulate the old lady on her birthday on his behalf, and I wish the old lady a long and healthy life like this deep-sea peach!"
Xu Xingguang quietly listened to Huo Wen'an finish saying this birthday speech.
Huo Wen'an is a Buddhist man who hates trouble, and before he came, he didn't prepare a congratulatory message. It was Xu Xingguang who disliked him for being lazy and took the initiative to write such a congratulatory message and forced him to memorize it.
After listening to him memorize, there was no mistake, Xu Xingguang lowered his head and smiled.
Huo Wen'an's congratulatory speech was beautiful, and the gifts he gave were also sincere, and the old lady Ying smiled so much that her face was full of folds.
She laughed heartily and praised Huo Wen'an: "A few days ago, I heard that Huo Canghai's old friend was lucky to find his son, and Wen Anxian's nephew's serious illness was also treated, which can be regarded as double happiness!" β
"Wen Anxian's nephew, you, compared to your father, you are better than blue! With you at the helm, the Huo Consortium will inevitably sail to a wider and boundless sea! β
Touching the red coral, Mrs. Ying said meaningfully: "This deep-sea peach, it is really an auspicious thing!" β
In just a few words, Mrs. Ying shook the recent events on Shenyin Island.
She seemed to be appreciating Huo Wen'an's talent, and she was also happy that Huo Canghai found her beloved son.
In fact, it was sending him a signal one-
Although your Shenyin Island is heavily defended and strictly secrecy, every move that happens on Shenyin Island cannot escape the eyes of the Ying family!
Huo Wen'an Cheng maintained an indifferent smile, he pretended not to hear the deep meaning of Old Madam Ying, and pulled out Xu Xingguang, who was standing behind him. "Old lady, this is my fiancΓ©e Xu Xingguang, and she is also a medicine farmer who helped me cure a serious illness."
Old Madam Ying looked at Xu Xingguang and smiled like a hidden old fox.
Old Madam Ying said: "Some time ago, I heard that there was a powerful physician in Xia Kingdom, who was called Yaonongxing. At that time, I was thinking, I must see it for myself if I have a chance. β
Old Madam Ying looked at Xu Xingguang with a smile on her face, and suddenly asked, "Miss Xu looks, she is still very young, I don't know how old she is this year?" β
"Back to the old lady, Starlight is about to turn 22 years old."
"22 years old."
Hearing this answer, not only Mrs. Ying was taken aback, but these distinguished guests sitting in the main hall also showed incredible expressions.
"What a hero out of a boy!"
Noticing that Xu Xingguang was carrying a food box in his hand, Mrs. Ying asked curiously, "Miss Xu, what are you carrying in your hand?" Is it a birthday present for me that old fellow? β
Xu Xingguang smiled lightly, she said: "I heard the weak sister say that the old lady has no other hobbies, she likes to taste food. Starlight didn't have any gifts to come up with, so she made a snack for the old lady herself. β
Mrs. Ying didn't ask who the 'weak sister' was.
Xu Xingguang opened the box and said to the housekeeper, "Please help me get two bowls." β
The housekeeper immediately motioned for someone to bring the bowl over.
Xu Xingguang took a bowl and put a small spoonful from the food box and put it in his bowl. She held the bowl in her left hand and the spoon in her right hand, and said to the old lady: "Starlight will taste it for the old lady first to see if this snack is still hot, the old lady is old, she can't eat raw and cold food." β
Hearing this, Mrs. Ying praised her: "What a caring and sensible child." β
Everyone knows that Xu Xingguang said that the real purpose of tasting the porridge is to test the poison himself.
She elegantly drank the small half bowl of porridge, closed the food box again, and said to the old lady, "It's quite hot, if the old lady is not hungry at this time, then taste it later." β
The so-called waiting to taste it again is to give Xu Xingguang a certain amount of time to test whether the porridge is really non-toxic.
If it is poisonous, Xu Xingguang will have a toxic attack.
Xu Xingguang's self-directed and self-acted scene can be said to be without error.
Mrs. Ying saw Xu Xingguang's series of performances in her eyes and praised them in her heart.
She said to Huo Wen'an: "Nephew Wen'an, where did you find a baby, smart and caring." "She has a lot of eyes and does things thoughtfully without leaving loopholes, but she is really a good candidate to be the head of the house.
Huo Wenan smiled proudly, he took Xu Xingguang's hand, and said with emotion: "I have been in pain for half my life, just to prepare for meeting her." β
Hearing this, the old lady laughed, looked at all the distinguished guests and said, "Everyone look, our Huo is at the helm, just like his father, they are all affectionate people!" β
Everyone laughed.
"Wen Anxian's nephew, the VIPs haven't arrived yet, you and Miss Xu will sit next to you for a while."
"Okay."
Huo Wenan pulled Xu Xingguang and sat down next to Jin Yunhai, while Ye Mingluo, Cheng Yue, and Zheng Lie went to the banquet hall in front of them in advance.
They sat for more than half an hour.
The VIPs had almost arrived, and Ying Jinqiao's father and son asked the housekeeper to inform the kitchen that the table was open. At this time, Mrs. Ying suddenly said, "Bring me a bowl of dim sum made by Miss Xu to taste." β
Today, there are countless people who send snacks and delicacies to Mrs. Ying, and many of them have specially invited the chief chef of the state banquet from various countries to take charge of the spoon himself.
Although the old lady accepted those things with a smile, she didn't touch them at all.
Only Xu Xingguang's dim sum was appreciated by her.
In the final analysis, it was Xu Xingguang's practice of testing drugs that made Mrs. Ying feel sincere.
Mrs. Ying took the initiative to try Xu Xingguang's porridge, just to sell her face. But after really tasting the taste of that bowl of porridge, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said in surprise: "This porridge is more fragrant and soft than ordinary pot porridge, and the small red fruit in it is"
Old Madam Ying's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Is it the fruit of longevity?" β
Longevity fruit is a precious medicinal material in the Ying family, and the old lady Ying will only let people add a few longevity fruits to her food if she is not feeling well.
But in the bowl of porridge Xu Xingguang gave her, there were more than ten longevity fruits.
This little girl is really generous.
Xu Xingguang smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's a longevity fruit, today is the ninetieth birthday of the old lady, and eating the longevity fruit is more appropriate." β
Mrs. Ying ate the whole bowl of porridge without stopping, not only did she not feel supported, but she felt that her stomach was warm. Putting down the porridge, she took the initiative to say: "You just mentioned Ying is weak, the Ying you said is weak, but the Ying family in Kyoto is in business?" β
Hearing this, Xu Xingguang knew that Old Madam Ying was a top teacher.
What an old fox.
"It's the Ying family." Xu Xingguang seemed to mention casually: "Although their family is in business, her son is a smart child, who has been interested in Chinese medicine since he was a child, and he can easily distinguish a hundred herbs when he is only a few years old." β
"Such a smart child, if he can be raised by the old lady's side, he will definitely have a great future."
Everyone could hear that Xu Xingguang was recommending the child to the old lady. But the old lady has always been a master who does not enter oil and salt, and she may not necessarily give Xu Xingguang this face.
But this time, Mrs. Ying nodded and said, "Then you really have to see that kid to see if he is really as talented as you say." β
Xu Xingguang patted her ass without a trace, "The old lady's love for talent is admirable." β
Old Madam Ying's smile deepened.
Huo Wen'an's fiancΓ©e is really a little fox.
As an old fox, Mrs. Ying admired her as a brave, resourceful and talented little fox.
Jin Yunhai and the others felt a little incredible when they saw that Xu Xingguang had finished the old lady Ying with only one bowl of porridge. But Huo Wen'an felt very proud, he pinched Xu Xingguang's fingertips and whispered to her: "Well done, Xu Xingguang." β
