Chen Jinjun frowned, looked at Nian Zheng, and nodded reluctantly: "Then there is Young Master Lao Nian?"
She was thinking silently in her mind, thinking that she would ask Xu Sheng to go back soon and call all the shopkeepers to go to the lantern festival together, lest she could not cope with this awkward relationship between men and women.
When Huo Tingyu saw Chen Jinjun nodding, he clenched the water glass in his hand angrily.
Lin Ting hurriedly grabbed the cup in his hand: "Commander, please don't break this cup. Otherwise, Dong Chen's family will find out. Where will you put your face?"
As he spoke, he almost lost all the anger in his body before he took the small water cup out of Huo Tingyu's hand.
Huo Tingyu took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
Lin Ting hurriedly comforted Huo Tingyu: "At worst, we will follow him later and separate Chen Dong's family from him while there are many people waiting. This will not damage the relationship between Chen Dong's family and Nian's family."
It has to be said that Lin Ting is still very considerate in this regard.
Huo Tingyu nodded and looked at the table of dishes, but he had no appetite at all.
He quietly slipped out of the hotel with Lin Ting and returned to the government office. Huo Tingyu directly approached the official who was busy applying for the land deed for Chen Jinjun.
"How long will the title deed of Dong Chen's family last?" Huo Tingyu asked, looking at the officials who were busy going through the procedures.
"Back to the Marshal, the land deed for Mr. Chen's family this time is for the theater land that was agreed to support refugees. Now we have just completed the tax signing process. We still need to go through the household registration process. It is estimated that it will take at least two days.
hour."
"Two hours..." Huo Tingyu thought in his heart. Two hours would not be enough to reach dark. It seemed that he would have to extend the time for the two of them.
But the official thought that Marshal Huo thought it took him a long time to do the work, so he said tremblingly: "I should be able to finish the signing in one hour."
Huo Tingyu knew that he had misunderstood what he meant, and quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. Dong Chen's family did a great good deed this time. You should spend three hours."
This man was also smart enough. He slapped his forehead and said, "Yes! I just remembered that the seal from the Household Registration Department was sent for re-engraving some time ago. It is estimated that it will take three hours."
Huo Tingyu nodded with satisfaction at his success: "Chen Dong's family is a big merchant in Yongzhou. Take your time and don't make any mistakes, otherwise I will take you for granted."
After saying that, Huo Tingyu returned to his office, and Lin Ting followed closely behind him, looking at Huo Tingyu's back and raising his eyebrows with interest.
Who says Marshal Huo is unkind? Isn’t this consciously paving the way for a relationship between himself and his employer who takes advantage of him?
Huo Tingyu just sat down, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became: "No, it's only three hours."
He was a little nervous because he couldn't guarantee that the young master wouldn't say anything during these three hours alone with Chen Jinjun.
"Here comes someone," Huo Tingyu frowned and thought for a while, "Go and invite Dong Chen's family. Just tell her that I know she's coming and invite her over for a cup of tea."
Lin Ting looked at Huo Tingyu happily: "Didn't the commander say that he was not tempted? Why is he so busy, as if he was afraid that Chen Dong's family would be robbed?"
Huo Tingyu glared at Lin Ting angrily: "You're the only one who talks so much? Next time, will you practice with me for Lao Ji?"
Lin Ting hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I'm just a scholar, how can I compete with a handsome man? If I accidentally hurt my hand, how can I dismantle the gun in the future?"
Huo Tingyu touched the stubble on his chin: "Since you can all see it, I'm just deceiving myself and others by hiding it."
Lin Ting curled his lips and said, "I don't know what you have trouble with regarding emotional matters. Let me tell you, not to mention one member of Dong Chen's family, he has all the money in the world. You don't want whoever you want?
You have been alone all these years, so I don’t blame the Second Madam for sending people to your place every day."
Huo Tingyu glared at him, making Lin Ting shrink back in fear.
Huo Tingyu sighed: "But she is Pingyan's widow. How can I, the elder brother, do such a thing?"
Lin Ting despised his appearance of being troubled by secular ethics, and spread his hands: "That's up to you. Although the Chen Dong family is nominally the widow of Master Pingyan, no one in Yongzhou knows that she has not paid tribute to Master Pingyan.
Consummate the marriage? Marshal, if you don’t take action, Dong Chen’s family will be robbed. Today is Young Master Nian, who knows if there will be Young Master Li and Young Master Wang another day? "
Huo Tingyu fell into hesitation. He knew that he really couldn't get rid of his feelings for Chen Jinjun.
The scene of Chen Jinjun emerging from the sedan chair holding the other end of the imperial edict unconsciously began to reappear before his eyes, and the burning ambition in his eyes was still burned into his heart.
The ambitious look in his eyes gradually dissipated, and for some reason it slowly resurfaced when he and Chen Jinjun were chatting about Yongzhou army pay. Chen Jinjun's cunning eyes blinked and blinked, tickling his heart.
He recalled Chen Jinjun's quirky look when he was walking in and out of the front gate of Or's Mansion to make sure that the guards would not stop him, and he couldn't help but bring a smile to his face.
There was also the way she drunkenly leaned against the car window after coming back from the banquet, and the way she didn't dare to look at herself in the snow with her ears red. Huo Tingyu only felt that if he didn't catch her this time, then
, it is very likely to be lost forever.
As for that young master, he only met Chen Jinjun twice and he already showed that he must be Chen Jinjun.
In Huo Tingyu's view, Nian Zheng's behavior was just a matter of weighing the pros and cons and having another agenda.
Lin Ting frowned and watched the constant changes in Huo Tingyu's aura, and twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly.
"Commander, didn't you say that you don't have any bad thoughts about Dong Chen's family?"
He opened his mouth to remind Huo Tingyu.
Huo Tingyu's expression froze, and he pretended to clear his throat: "I'm just afraid that the Chen Dong family has entrusted someone to do something wrong."
He had a matter-of-fact look on his face, without any sense of being too lenient.
Lin Ting's face twitched: "If I remember correctly, Dong Chen's family is only in its twenties this year, and you, Marshal, are six years older than them."
Huo Tingyu didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, he looked at Lin Ting matter-of-factly: "What do you know? Only older people know how to love others. Those young people only know how to look at a skin."
"Pfft--" Lin Ting couldn't hold it any longer and laughed out loud as he stared at Huo Tingyu's face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Okay, just do whatever you need to do." Huo Tingyu waved his hand.
"Are we starting to issue eviction orders now? Marshal, I'm not telling you that when it comes to chasing women, the most important thing is to be shameless. You have to put down your own face, especially for people like Chen Dongjia, you have to work harder."
Lin Ting looked at Huo Tingyu with a teasing look.
