Chapter 18 Hua Ying

"Haha, I heard that my cousin is back, so I have to catch up with my cousin. ”

The servant had just made an announcement when a voice came from outside the door. Then two men walked in. I saw a person in front of me who was in his fifties and looked treacherous. The little eyes squinted from time to time, making people unconsciously feel that he was calculating something. Behind him was a young man in his twenties, who was somewhat similar to him, especially when his eyes were purring, it was like a copy of the man's youth.

"Hello old lady, this is my cousin, haha, I can't recognize it after so many years. After this person pretended to salute the Liu family, he said to Hua Mohan as if no one was around.

"Come on, Yun'er, greet your uncle. Hua Ying commanded the young man behind her.

Hua Yun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Hua Mohan: "Hello uncle, Hua Yun pays a visit to my uncle." ”

"Presumptuous. Liu slapped the armrest of the chair and shouted, "Hua Ying, have you forgotten the rules of the Hua family?"

"Old lady, where did I forget the rules? You see I let Yun'er greet my cousin in a proper manner!" Hua Yingpi said with a smile.

"Hmph, the Hua family's family rules, when you see the head of the family, you must bow down with the etiquette of the juniors. Then let me ask you, is the head of the Hua family Mo Han now?" Liu looked at Hua Ying without anger.

When Hua Ying heard this, although she was very unhappy in her heart, she couldn't help but pretend to be soft on her face and said: "Old lady, I didn't see that my cousin had just come back, didn't it seem too angry to do those big gifts, didn't I think it seemed closer to me like this." ”

"Family rules are family rules, in private, you have a good relationship with Mo Han, I have nothing to say about calling me a brother, now it's in front of everyone, the head of the family is the head of the family, you can't be fooled like this." Could it be that the Hua family's family rules can't control you anymore? Or do you already want to quit the Hua family?"

When Hua Ying heard this, she secretly said that ginger was still old and spicy. When the old woman said this, she dug two holes for herself at once. If he doesn't see Hua Mohan with a junior courtesy now, it means that he has admitted that he has not complied with the rules of the Hua family, which means that he wants to quit the Hua family. And if this news spreads, he will finally embezzle the industry under his name, and at least half of it will be out of his control.

The Hua family has been persevering in Enshi Prefecture for hundreds of years, and since the Enshi Prefecture was given to the Hua family, the Hua family has been operating. As the property of the Hua family, from those in charge to those who are in charge, down to those miscellaneous servants, they are all marked with the mark of the Hua family from the root. If it is rumored that he wants to quit the Hua family, then it is a good result that he can still control one-third of those industries.

And the second pit is that he doesn't want to be rumored to quit the Hua family, so he doesn't want to spread such news, which means that he still recognizes himself as a member of the Hua family, and in this case, he must abide by the rules of the Hua family. And the Hua family's family rules, the authority of the head of the family is indeed not allowed to be blasphemed. Unless the direct line elders and anyone from other branches sees the head of the family, they must bow down as a junior.

Of course, this rule also refers to the fact that on important occasions, under normal circumstances, as long as you respect the head of the family and bow down. Unless it's really an ancestor worship or other similar important occasion.

But now in front of everyone, Liu said this, and that's right. After all, Hua Mohan came back today, and the Hua family's branch lineage in the fiefdom who was a little in charge of things came here, and now if Hua Ying didn't listen to the Liu family, it would be a violation of the family rules. violates the family rules, and how to deal with it when the time comes, but Hua Mohan has the final say.

So Hua Ying now secretly hates in her heart, she still blames herself for being too hasty, thinking that she controls half of the industry, how can this old woman take care of herself. Who knew that he would be so faceless. But now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, after thinking about the pros and cons, Hua Ying had to take Hua Yun to bow to Hua Mohan.

"Hua Ying, a branch of the Hua family, has seen the head of the family. ”

Hua Mohan had been watching coldly just now, and when he saw Hua Ying coming in, he knew that this person wanted to give himself a dismount when he just came back. So just now his mother was ridiculing Hua Ying over there, and he didn't say a word. Now that he saw that Hua Ying had already bowed, he knew that he and his mother had succeeded in having a black face and a white face, and now it was his turn.

"Oh, cousin, that's not necessary. Hurry up, hurry up. Saying this, Hua Mohan pretended to support Hua Ying.

Hua Ying pouted in her heart, and she knelt down before she came to pretend to help. Your mother and son sing well with black faces and white faces, it's just a little trick, do you think I can't see it?

Hua Mohan looked at his obviously disdainful eyes, and couldn't help but feel a burst of contempt in his heart: Do you still think that we are singing for you? Look around, the people of the Hua family are here, and we are singing to them. Thus the authority of my lord is attained. And you have been disrespectful to me since you came in, but I still took the initiative to help you up, and this strength has also been gained. In the past few moments, I have become an authoritative and powerful head of the family in their hearts, and I really have to thank you for making trouble, otherwise I will have to spend effort to rectify it.

Hua Ying didn't know Hua Mohan's thoughts, and saw that her dismount had no effect, but was ridiculed, so she said that her industry was still urgent, so she left with Hua Yun.

After Hua Ying left, everyone greeted Hua Mohan in turn, and reported the situation of the industry by the way. After that, the banquet set up in Washington was drunk to the satisfaction of the guests and hosts, and then slowly dispersed.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and due to Liu's physical discomfort, Hua Mohan stayed in Washington to take care of his mother. I thought that the New Year would be celebrated soon, and the weather was so cold, even if the barbarians attacked, they would wait for the spring to melt and snow, and then plan to go to the border after the New Year. And just when the whole empire was in the mood for the New Year, the barbarians attacked.

This is the junction of Enshi Prefecture and Yunzhou, the city is called Shuangluo City, and the heavy snow has not stopped in the past few days since the heavy snow fell a few days ago. The civilians in the city were basically gone, because outside the city was the army of barbarians, and since the barbarians arrived outside the city, the civilians in the city left one after another and fled to other places in the south.

Seeing that the New Year is still a few days away, some of the remaining people in the city who are inseparable from their homeland are also preparing for the New Year. There are still soldiers on the city wall, standing on the city wall in the face of flying snowflakes, although it is said that the barbarians will not attack before the New Year, but there should still be a sentry post.

It's just that a few months have passed, and the barbarians are only stationed outside the city, and every time they send troops, some small-scale troops go to Yunzhou to plunder. Just by imagining, it can be imagined that those people in Yunzhou who have not been able to flee to Enshi Prefecture and further south may not be able to survive this winter. In addition to cold, there is also hunger, even if the barbarians are repelled at that time, this Yunzhou has not been more than ten or twenty years old, and I am afraid it will not be able to recover its original appearance.

Just when the soldiers on the city walls shivered with cold, lamenting the cold of the weather. In the snow in the distance, white dots moved forward one by one. The white spots were slight, and the snowflakes blocked the view, and the soldiers on the city walls didn't notice anything wrong.

"Little San, there's nothing unusual. ”

"No, Ergou, what about you?

"Where is it, it's been a few months, and the barbarians haven't attacked, I think before the New Year, the barbarians will definitely not attack, we have to stand here and guard, this cold day." ”

"Yes, I heard that there is a need for more food during the New Year, I haven't eaten meat for a few months, and I can finally satisfy my hunger during the New Year. ”

"Yes, who said it wasn't, we were driven to Enshi Prefecture by barbarians from Yunzhou, and the defenders of Enshi Prefecture looked down on us, and the supplies were not willing to give us, so it would be good to be full. ”

"Don't mention it, it's all these damn brutes. Adversity... ”

"Xiao San, what's wrong with you?" The second dog saw that Xiao San didn't finish speaking, so he screamed miserably, and then blood came out of his mouth, and then fell to the ground. Only then did the second dog see that Xiao San's back had been almost pierced by feather arrows.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
