The county magistrate did not come unexpectedly, but had been in Huo Mansion before. He went to use the restroom. When he came back, he heard Huo Guang say these words and couldn't help but praise him.
"Young men should have great ambitions, yes, yes."
"County Magistrate Zhang."
"There is no need to be polite. I came to your house just to discuss the matter of the Salt Company with you. After hearing what you just said, there is no need to worry. If you have such a heart, I believe your brother will also be extremely pleased.
.”
Huo Guang said to Zhang Yu seriously: "County Magistrate Zhang, the increase in tax revenue will also make the county's various expenditures more comfortable."
"Yes, I was originally worried that this was a new matter and I couldn't figure it out, which would lead to problems. But since Aguang's heart is right, I'm more than relieved about this matter. Aguang, if you need my help, please send someone."
Come to my house and say something."
"Thank you, County Magistrate Zhang."
Zhang Yu looked at Huo Zhongru again: "Huo Shaofu is really good at educating children. General Huo Qubing is a young hero. If Aguang has a righteous heart, his achievements in the future will definitely be extraordinary."
"If you say that, County Magistrate, I'm almost proud of you." Huo Zhongru laughed.
Huo Guang felt a little confused. When County Magistrate Zhang came, he tried to please him in every possible way. This was obviously not in line with common sense.
Sure enough, after getting close for a while, County Magistrate Zhang and Huo Zhongru sat side by side and chatted animatedly. Then they frowned and lamented: "Young Master Huo, it's really enviable to be able to raise two such outstanding sons.
ah."
"County Magistrate Zhang, it seems that there is something sad about you."
Zhang Yu patted Huo Zhongru on the shoulder, and the relationship between the two became closer: "Young Master Huo doesn't know something. I only have one son. He did a lot of ridiculous things when he was young. He left twelve years ago.
The white-haired man gave away the black-haired man. In our branch of the Zhang family, we only have one son who he had with a maid outside. But this boy and his father are of the same virtue. He is about the same age as A Guang, but he is not as good as A Guang.
10 out of 10, I am idle, doing nothing, just sitting at home and doing nothing, gambling on beautiful women, it really gives me a headache."
Huo Zhongru said generously: "Let's do it this way. County Magistrate Zhang asks him to serve in our Shaofuyuan, and I will take care of him."
Huo Guang was speechless. When someone compliments you, you take it seriously. You raised Huo Qubing? Does his ability to become a general have something to do with your upbringing? I can only say that you are really good at giving birth and you are lucky. You will draw an SSR.
.
County Magistrate Zhang looked at Huo Guang and said: "Huo Shaofu, A Guang, do you think this will work? I want my grandson to go to A Guang's Salt Industry Company for some training. It doesn't require any position, just work with A Guang."
Studying together will save him from having nothing to do every day."
It is impossible to refuse the request of the county magistrate. There are still many things that need the county magistrate's help. Arranging for individuals to come in is also a routine operation. It's just that the county magistrate, as a grandfather, demoted his grandson to be so useless, which means that this person is indeed
It's not very good, otherwise no grandpa would say that to his grandson, and he would usually say it to the chosen one.
Unless you really can't choose.
"Okay, County Magistrate Zhang, please arrange for him to come to our house directly, and I will have a good chat with him."
Seeing Huo Guang's cheerfulness, County Magistrate Zhang smiled heartily: "Okay, A Guang has the style of a general in his work. He is worthy of being Huo Shaofu's son."
After County Magistrate Zhang left, Huo Guang said, "Father, do you know this County Magistrate Zhang's son?"
"Do you know me? When I was gambling before, I...er, I beat him by some money."
"Gambling is not allowed in the county."
"It's not about gambling, it's just a matter of fun among a few of our colleagues in the county captain's office. It's not a big deal."
Huo Guang said worriedly: "You have won other people's money, but he will still make it easier for you?"
"It's okay, Zhang Jiaqi is a well-known fool in the county... He is fat and strong, he is honest and kind, I won his money, and he became my brother-in-law." Huo Guang was full of praise for Zhang Jiaqi, the grandson of County Magistrate Zhang.
"Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"You can't say that. There should be nothing wrong with your brain, but you're just not very smart."
In the afternoon, a short and fat man came to the door of Huo's house. It's not that short to say that he is short. He is 1.65 meters, which is not too short in this era, but there is a big gap compared to the Huo family and his son.
Because of the horizontal growth, it looks much shorter than its original height.
He is the same age as Huo Guang, but he looks much more immature, and because of his obesity, he has an appearance that is easy to deceive.
"Brother Huo!" Zhang Jiaqi walked in enthusiastically as soon as he saw Huo Zhongru, with a smile on his face.
Birds of a feather flock together, and although there is a big age difference between the two, they are brothers and are extremely enthusiastic when they meet.
Zhang Jiaqi looked at Huo Guang again: "This is my eldest nephew."
Hey, hey, why are you taking such an advantage?
"Don't worry, eldest nephew. From now on, you will follow me to ensure that you have a good life. Today is the first time we meet. I will take you to visit the daughter's house first." Zhang Jiaqi greeted Huo Guang as if he was familiar with him.
Huo Guang was speechless: "Mr. Zhang, County Magistrate Zhang said that you have to work here from now on. You and I are about the same age, so we should be of the same generation."
"Aguang, what are you talking about? Call me uncle." Huo Zhongru was now colluding with Zhang Jiaqi again.
"Hey, Brother Huo, my grandfather told me that Aguang will be my boss from now on. He is about the same age. It's really not appropriate to call me uncle. Let's do it this way. Let's talk about our own affairs. I'll call you brother. He
I call you dad, and I call him leader."
"Jia Qi, you still have an idea."
Huo Guang's head was full of black lines, and he knew just by looking at it that nothing good would happen between these two people.
Facing the two people who admired each other, Huo Guang was helpless and sighed and shook his head.
Zhang Jiaqi picked up Huo Guang and said, "Today is the first time we meet. You are the leader in the future. I must entertain you well. I will take you to visit the daughter's house."
"No, no." My father is right next to me. How can you take me to a place like that?
"Then let's go to Sang's Restaurant." Zhang Jiaqi immediately changed his tone.
Huo Zhongru smiled and said: "Go, go, you two will communicate well in the future, and Aguang will take good care of Young Master Zhang."
Just like that, Huo Guang followed his first subordinate out the door. There was a brand new carriage waiting at the door, which looked even more luxurious than the one Sang Jin was riding in.
Only then is he worthy of being the grandson of the county magistrate, a well-known dandy in this county.
After getting into the carriage, Zhang Jiaqi didn't stop talking all the way. He didn't listen to what he said, but it was all useless things, and he also boasted about how capable he was.
When the carriage stopped, Huo Guang got out of the carriage and realized something was wrong.
This was not the Sang family's restaurant at all, but the carriage drove directly to a building with three floors. Standing in the middle, looking to both sides, the corridor was full of girls waving to him.
At that time, I was young, wearing thin clothes, riding a horse and leaning on a leaning bridge, with red sleeves and red sleeves all over the building. This was probably the scene.
For a time, I gradually lost myself in the "uncle" coming from the second and third floors.
Is this the legendary female concubine? Zhang Jiaqi went to the tavern, but she led Huo Guang astray.
