Hearing this, Zhennan Hou turned black. When he saw that his daughter was learning more and more male behavior, he opened his mouth and wanted to persuade her to be more ladylike, but he remembered that he was teaching her to drink and practice martial arts. He felt so guilty that he dared not read.
His wife sat away with fierce eyes, hiding beside Jiang Hexuan, and silently savored a glass of wine.
The military advisor felt it was getting more and more funny. Although he also felt that Liang Ran was not gentle enough, what did it matter? The girls in their Zhennan Hou Mansion naturally did not need to learn the rigid rules of noble girls. Why should they be too restrictive in life?
, just live freely and freely.
Yu originally subconsciously missed her daughter, but when she thought that she would get married next spring, she felt sad and couldn't bear to annoy her.
Forget it, the girl's life is only a few months old. Why should she blame her for making Ran'er unhappy?
"What my cousin said is that when A Yun grows up, let him ask you for advice and exercise your alcohol tolerance." Jiang Hexi originally had a little alcohol tolerance, but it was a world of difference compared to Liang Ranlai, and she always came.
He is handsome and naturally agrees with Liang Ran's unrestrained attitude towards life.
"What, are you planning to drink today? Don't do anything else, and the whole night is over?" The military advisor took a sip of wine leisurely and looked at the two happy girls leisurely.
Liang Ran poked Jiang Hexi's arm beside him and urged: "Xi'er, didn't you say you would have fun tonight? Take it out and let us see."
The military advisor immediately became interested, "Oh, Xi'er has fun, what is it? I'm very curious. You girl has the most ideas. I saw some magic tricks in the opera troupe a few days ago, and the troupe said that it was still a high price.
The magic he bought from the second prince of Ninghou, the capital city, but I heard from Captain Huo that you have your work in it.”
"Don't worry, military advisor, I'll know later." Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Jiang Hexi smiled mysteriously and clapped his palms.
Rongyue and Xiyue took a few servants to fiddle with a table, lay the tablecloth, and put down an exquisite wooden box.
Zhennan Hou couldn't help but curiously said, "What is this?"
"This is mahjong!" Jiang Hexi smiled proudly. She used to like a family to play mahjong together during the Chinese New Year. If she was lucky and won a few wins, she would be happy all day long.
It was simply a grand ceremony and there was no entertainment at night. As soon as Jiang Hexi, who was bored these days, appeared in a flash of inspiration and immediately sent someone to make a pair of mahjong, waiting to have fun tonight when he stayed up tonight.
Jiang Hexi roughly explained the rules to everyone and smiled: "Let's play first, wait until everyone is proficient before counting the money? This is fairer."
"Okay!" Liang Ran naturally would not miss such a fun game. She has always been smart. She remembered the rules as soon as she heard it. She was the first to raise her hand to support her and said shamelessly: "You guys just wait, I will definitely want it.
Kill you so much that you won’t be left with a piece of armor!”
The military advisor, who has always been known for his ingenious thoughts, naturally understood the essence of the game at a glance, and said with a smile: "Xi'er is a clever idea. This mahjong is more interesting than the methods in the gambling house, and it is also a matter of
The way to make money."
She is worthy of being a wealthy slave. Cough cough, the thrifty military advisor, who is obsessed with the road to wealth brought by mahjong at a glance!
"What the military advisor said is that the military advisor is so smart, I have to give in later, otherwise I will lose badly."
"You girl is the most quirky, I don't believe you will lose." The military advisor smiled and pointed at Jiang Hexi, not knowing that she was teasing herself.
Yu couldn't wait to urge him: "Let's start soon. I'll have a game first. Marquis, please wait by the side first."
Upon hearing this, Zhennan Hou smiled bitterly, but had to follow his wife's orders.
The others looked at Zhennan Hou with sympathy, who had no hope at the beginning, but they were unwilling to become the poor and unnecessary player, looking at the nose and the heart, just pretending not to see Zhennan Hou's expectant eyes.
Seeing that Jiang Hexi and the other two avoided their eyes, Zhennanhou cursed in his heart that the three of them were ignorant of their eyes, but they had to bow their heads under the eaves.
Zhennan Hou, who had a low family status, had to sit next to his wife in a miserable manner and pour tea and water for her.
Seeing the tall and mighty Zhennan Hou becoming a poor little wife, Jiang Hexi and his friends felt uncomfortable in laughter, so they hurriedly sat in their seats and avoided their sight, for fear that they would not be able to laugh out loud, otherwise the time would be
It's embarrassing.
"Sister, come out!"
"No, this is wrong. Ayun, don't make any mistakes."
"A Yun didn't!"
"Madam, I think this should be made."
"Don't make a sound, or I'll lose again, yes, this one."
"Hahaha, touch! Thank you, my mother, hehe."
"It's all your fault, it disturbed my thoughts."
“…it’s all for the fault of husband.”
There was laughter and joy in Zhennan Hou Mansion, and he never stopped all night.
The office of Duke Huo.
There has always been a custom in the Duke of Huo’s mansion that every New Year’s Eve, a family must gather in the old lady’s yard to stay up to the New Year to demonstrate the hope of health and success in the whole family.
This year is naturally no exception.
Huo Jingchen happened to receive a letter from Liuying today. He couldn't wait to open it and saw it. He suddenly stiffened his body, and his fists were clenched tightly. He told himself that he should be calm, but his palm holding the letter paper couldn't stop trembling until he saw the later ones.
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
When Huo Jingchen thought of Jiang Hexi being kidnapped innocently for several days, he felt both distressed and guilty. If he had returned to the capital later, would Xi'er not have encountered these things?
There is also Liuying. She is so brave that she dares to hide such an important thing from her. She is really hard and learns to disobey her. It’s great!
Huo Jingchen was so angry that he punched the table. He was so angry that he learned the bad habit of being white!
This sudden anger suddenly scared Yu Bai who had just walked in.
Yu Bai looked at Huo Jingchen, who was staring at him with some trepidation on his face. He felt nervous. Could it be that the master knew that he had stolen snacks in the kitchen? Or did the master see that he was lazy this morning?
Go on duty?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and hurriedly smiled at Huo Jingchen, "Master, what's wrong?"
"I heard that you and Liuying frequently send letters, so you have a good relationship." Huo Jingchen smiled slightly, folded the letter paper in his hand and put it away.
He was nervous and immediately remembered the matter of Uncle Huo talking about finding a reliable family for Liuying a few days ago. He hurriedly explained: "Master, there is no subordinate. The person who has frequent letters with Liuying is Jingyun.
My subordinates just communicated with Liuying according to the instructions of his master, but they didn’t have any thoughts. Master, you have to believe me!"
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise the master would think there was something wrong with him and Liuying!
Just kidding, if Liuying knew that she was saying the wrong thing and was randomly matched by her master and Uncle Huo, she would definitely beat him to death when she came back!
"So that's it, I misunderstood you." Huo Jingchen raised his eyebrows meaningfully. He didn't expect that Yu Bai would learn to be smart this time, but now he has important things and is too lazy to punish him, so he put it on disgust.
Wave your hand.
The heart of Bai Xuan finally let go and said silly: "Master, it's almost time to stay up to the new year. The old lady has sent someone to urge him. When will you go?"
"You go and report to the person who comes and say I'll go there later."
"Yes!" He Bai retreated carelessly, without realizing that he had been lucky enough to escape the disaster.
After a long time, looking at the handwriting of dragons and phoenixes dancing on the envelope, Huo Jingchen pressed his eyebrows, but was still a little worried. He strided outside the house and said, "Jingyun, you go to Qingzhou tomorrow and send me some things."
Upon hearing this, Jingyun was delighted, but he responded respectfully without moving, "Yes, Master."
"Thank you for your hard work, but Xi'er was kidnapped a few days ago. Although she has returned safely now, I am still a little worried. You went over and assist Liuying in investigating this matter."
Jingyun was a little surprised, but more thankful that he hadn't seen Liuying for a long time, and he didn't know that she was good now. Moreover, Uncle Huo has been busy finding her husband's house recently, and he was very upset for some reason.
Suddenly I really want to see her immediately.
It seems that this makes your heart more secure.
"This is what subordinates should do."
"I'm sorry for you, and you'll take five days off when you come back."
"Thank you, my master."
After a while, Huo Jingchen and his men finally arrived late.
"Young Master, you're here. The old lady and the others have arrived. They are waiting for you now." The maid waiting at the door was so anxious that she could not help but greet Huo Jingchen when she saw Huo Jingchen's figure.
Huo Jingchen nodded slightly at her and walked into the room.
The quaint room is warm and pleasant. There are a wide variety of ancient treasures placed on the ancient shelf. Huo Jingchen walked around the exquisite screen of the Four Gentlemen and walked into the inner room.
I saw that everyone in the Huo family had arrived, and there was a lot of laughter and joy.
Huo Jingyan was the first to discover Huo Jingchen's figure and said in surprise: "Brother, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Some things have been delayed for a while, so I have been waiting for my grandmother for a long time." Huo Jingchen saluted to the elders, walked to the dancing Huo Jingyan and sat down, "What are you talking about?"
Huo Yunyao smiled and said, "We are talking about the third brother. I laughed at the third brother for being shirkable now, which is not as hard as the second brother's hard work. The third brother was not convinced, and even said that he was going to take the exam for the top martial arts scholar."
"Oh, Brother Yan also knows that he has worked hard, but it's rare. I just don't know how long you can hold on to this matter." Huo Jingchen took a sip of hot tea and glanced at his lazy brother who had always been lazy.
Huo Jingyan was unhappy and said with his neck in his arms, "Brother, don't look down on others. I was just unhappy to do those hard-working things before. Now I have decided that I will take a good look at you tomorrow. I will definitely be better than my brother.
