Huo Guang's mansion is not so much the Great General's Mansion as the Great Sima Mansion.

Because the Great Sima is an official position in the outer court, and the general is an official position in the inner court.

Huo Guangkaifu's power comes more from the position of Da Sima, so it is naturally more accurate to call it Da Sima Mansion.

It's just that the General's Mansion sounds more powerful, so this title is used.

Like most of the Han Dynasty's mansions, the General's Mansion is also a pattern of the front and back yards.

The scale is more than twice as large as that of Changyi Prime Minister's Mansion.

The core members of the Huo family all live here, plus the Cao and subordinate officials in the mansion, there are hundreds of people.

And this is just the heart of the huge Huo family, Shang Guanli and other places in Qili, there are also scattered mansions of other Huo relatives.

Not to mention the rest of the Huo Party, just the relatives and servants of the Huo family, it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 people in Chang'an.

For the sake of the future and net worth of so many people, Huo Guang can only advance and not retreat.

On weekdays, it is not common to have court discussions like today, so Huo Guang usually stays in the palace in the morning to deal with military affairs, and after lunch, he goes to the Shangshu Office of Weiyang Palace to deal with court affairs, and will not return to the general's mansion to rest until the palace gate is closed.

For more than ten years, except for some special solar terms, Huo Guang has been like this every day, and there has never been an extra stop.

……

The carriage went around to the side gate of the General's Mansion and drove directly into the mansion located behind the middle hall - this mansion was actually the scale of three entrances and three exits.

Huo Guang got down from the carriage, and the slaves and maids in the courtyard immediately saluted. He just nodded slightly, and walked towards the middle courtyard.

In just a few dozen steps, Huo Guang walked a little flutteringly.

With this pride, Huo Guang had just walked into the main hall of the middle courtyard with his front feet, and Huo Xian, the general's wife in a fancy costume, immediately greeted him.

Huo Xian is over forty years old, but her privileged life makes her look no more than thirty years old, graceful and beautiful.

Between the gestures, but it exudes the atmosphere of a graceful and luxurious housewife.

The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that Huo Xian's facial features are too fine, so that there is a hint of meanness and foxiness that can't be concealed between the eyebrows.

"Husband, how is today's court discussion, is the Son of Heaven still close to you?" Huo Xian asked impatiently while giving Huo Guang a towel to wipe his face.

Huo Xian was impatient, making the hint of meanness between his eyebrows and eyes heavier.

"Madame, no matter how anxious you are, you have to let me wipe this face clean, right?" Huo Guang, who has always been majestic, was not angry, and his expression hidden under his beautiful hair all the year round was much more lively, as if he was more than ten years younger all of a sudden.

"Hmph, that concubine will be waiting for you for a moment!" Huo Xianxing's eyes were disgusted and said, he was not afraid of Huo Guang, the head of the family.

In this Chang'an City, this Han Empire, I am afraid that only Huo Xian can be so presumptuous in front of Huo Guang.

……

Huo Xian is not surnamed Huo, and even she herself may not be able to tell what her surname is.

The reason is also very simple, that is, Huo Xian's background is too low.

Huo Xian's ancestral home is Qidi, and he was originally a landlord with a small fortune, because the Yellow River was diverted and flooded in a certain year, and overnight, all the land became a Ze country.

At this point, Huo Xian's family became landless refugees.

In Dahan, exiles are equated with criminals.

The elders of Huo Xian's family used the last bit of family wealth to exchange for a customs clearance document and came to Chang'an to seek refuge with distant relatives, but the distant relatives were not found, and the family was infected with the epidemic and died cleanly, leaving only the fifteen-year-old Huo Xian to live alone on the streets of Chang'an.

In Chang'an, it is almost impossible for a helpless girl to live, at least not cleanly.

However, Huo Xian was unlucky, but he was lucky.

When she was about to starve to death on the street, she met one of Huo Guang's doormen.

This little-known doorman was kind-hearted for a while, and brought Huo Xian, who was skinny, had lice on his head, and had sores on his body, back to Huo's mansion, and made her the maid of Huo Guang's wife.

Huo Xian went into exile all the way, and he had long been accustomed to the filth and intrigue of too many people eating people.

So when she walked into the Huo Mansion and saw the Huo family's brocade clothes and food, she made up her mind that she must get a job of her own in the Huo family.

And the first thing she did was to give herself a new name - Xian, which naturally has the meaning of prominent.

After recuperating in Huo Mansion for a while, under the nourishment of rich food, Huo Xian, who was not amazing, was like a peony in spring, quickly showing his figure and charm.

Many young doormen and servants in Huo Mansion began to secretly send Qiu Bo.

However, Huo Xian was unmoved, because her prey was Huo Guang, the backbone of the Huo family.

Of course, the best hunters will always disguise themselves as their prey.

Since then, Huo Xian has always looked for opportunities to appear in front of Huo Guang, and his eyes, like a pool of autumn water, always convey love to Huo Guang intentionally or unintentionally.

Finally, on a rainy night, Huo Guang's wife occasionally felt cold, so she asked Huo Xian to take care of Huo Guang, who was still handling government affairs in the house.

The wind and rain are all nights, and it is a good time to embrace the fragrance and cherish the jade.

That night the rain did not stop all night, and the wind and rain were combined, muffling many indecent sounds.

Soon after, Huo Xian became Huo Guang's concubine, and Huo Guang's wife's wind and cold never got better.

Just half a year later, Huo Guang's wife drove west, and Huo Xian, who was already pregnant, naturally became Huo Guang's wife.

Huo Guang's first wife only left him a daughter, and Huo Xian was very fertile, and then brought six children to the Huo family in a row.

And among them is Huo Guang's only son Huo Yu.

With so many heirs, and the skill to govern the family, and being able to subdue Huo Guang in the boudoir, Huo Xian naturally became another pillar of the Huo family.

Even though he has lived a graceful and carefree life, Huo Xian's scheming in his bones cannot be concealed.

In front of Huo Guang, Huo Xian is a spicy, capable, and amorous lady; In front of outsiders, Huo Xian is a vicious, cold and decisive housewife.

For Huo Xian, the most important thing is to maintain the glory of the Huo family.

When it is implemented, it is "to love his son, it is far-reaching".

Needless to say, his son Huo Yu will be able to inherit Huo Guang's mantle in the future, and several daughters have also been married to the powerful people in the court - they not only live a life of fine clothes and food, but also bind more people to the chariot of the Huo family.

And now, the only thing left is the fifteen-year-old girl Huo Chengjun.

Huo Xian naturally wanted to plan a good future for her.

……

After a while, Huo Guang finally wiped his face, sighed with satisfaction, and sat down on the couch.

Huo Xian brought a tea set, sat opposite his husband, and made tea for him.

This method of drinking tea has only recently spread in Chang'an, and it is said to have come from the country of Nachangyi.

When the incense is half burned, the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

Huo Xian used his hands as white as the root of an onion to deliver a cup of hot tea to Huo Guang.

"My husband has worked hard in the morning, and the concubine has poured tea for my husband." Huo Xian said with flowing eyebrows.

Huo Guang's only little fatigue was swept away, and he took it with a smile and drank it all.

The hot tea rushed into his belly, making Huo Guang a little hot.

"Your Majesty respects me very much, and respects me as my middle father in the court."

"Is that really the case?" Huo Xian was startled, and the teacup in his hand almost fell.

"When did your husband lie to you?"

Then, Huo Guang told what happened in the court as it was.

The more Huo Xian listened, the faster his heartbeat became, it seemed that the blessing of the little girl Huo Chengjun came.
