It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 244 244. Goodbye Chu Lan
Dongping County Government

As usual, Huo Keshi and Huo Duanshi dispersed after eating.

After the three girls finished their meal, they met in twos and chatted.

"Hey, why does that Young Master Jiang keep looking for you?"

Huo Yingxiu looked at Huo Huaxiu.

The three daughters of the Huo family are all in their boudoirs, and if there is any trouble, other people will know it soon.

Huo Huaxiu was at a loss at first, she didn't know any young master surnamed Jiang, then she seemed to think of something, and immediately looked disgusted, "He's too naive."

Mr. Jiang's father had been taught by Huo Chuxiong, and the two families had maintained some contacts before.

After the Huo family returned to Beijing, the daughters of the Jiang family often visited the Huo family.Of course, there are always young men with different styles following them.

The Mr. Jiang that Huo Yingxiu was talking about was the youngest young master of the Jiang family. Because of the doting of his elders, he grew into a character who was not afraid of anything. He was always self-centered in what he said and did.

No matter how much Mr. Jiang is a tyrant, when he meets Huo Huaxiu, a pink, tender, and pretty girl, he suddenly loses track of where to go, and looks for various reasons to come to Huo Huaxiu every day.

Huo Huaxiu could see what he meant, but she didn't like Mr. Jiang's style.

"The other party is the youngest, and you are also the youngest. It's a good match."

Huo Yingxiu smiled.

Mr. Jiang has a bad temper, but Huo Huaxiu is not a good one either. It was interesting that she met Mr. Jiang without sparks hitting the earth.

What to match?

Huo Huaxiu rolled her eyes, "I don't like a kid like Jiang who doesn't have his own opinions."

It may be that Mr. Jiang was past his forties when he was born, or it may be that he is the man whom his wife has been looking forward to for many years. For him, the two elders are very spoiled.

Mr. Jiang lived in such an environment, so it was inevitable that he had to listen to many things.

Huo Huaxiu wanted to be independent since she was a child, how could she value a young master who couldn't support her?

Hearing this, Huo Yingxiu chuckled, "The other party doesn't have his own opinion, it means he can't stand up. Why don't you teach him."

"No, let go of the complex of helping others and respect the wishes of blessing others."

Huo Huaxiu waved her hand.

What are you kidding?She and Mr. Jiang are not on good terms yet, and she has no time to deal with young children.

"..." Huo Yingxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while, "Young Master Jiang is quite good. Compared with his peers, he is a bit naughty, and he doesn't care about human life."

There are so many dandies in the capital, and the three handsome ladies of the Huo family have tasted many famous sons, and they all have unique views on men.

In their view, the vast majority of young masters in the capital are not good enough to pass the exam.

"Where is he good? Compared with the general, he pales in comparison."

Huo Huaxiu's face was full of shame.

How old is he, but he still only knows Fenghuaxueyue, a child who can't grow up, how can people like him?

The corners of Huo Yingxiu's mouth twitched, General Xiao Yue was already one of thousands of people, Young Master Jiang couldn't compare.

"Not only is it not as good as a general, but it is also not as good as a general. A manly man should make achievements in a foreign land and aim in all directions. Isn't it a waste of a good time to be idle all day?"

Huo Huaxiu reasoned plausibly.

The world requires men to stand upright and hold up the sky. Moreover, as a woman, Huo Huaxiu is destined to have no chance of being in the officialdom and battlefield. Can't she ask what kind of person her husband is?
Yes, Mr. Jiang is indeed too immature.

Huo Yingxiu smiled sweetly, "My sister has a plan, but my sister is not as good as you."

The three sisters grew up together, and they have a harmonious relationship. They are no more dirty than other high families. The friendship between them is pure and beautiful.

Huo Huaxiu laughed dumbfounded, "It's not a promise, it's just a request."

Mr. Jiang's sincerity is commendable, but it is impossible for her to like a child who lives under the protection of her elders every day.

She is a thoughtful and enlightened daughter of the Huo family, and the other half she is looking for must not be submissive, mediocre and incompetent.

"Hey, where's the eldest sister?"

Huo Huaxiu noticed something was wrong.

Huo Rongxiu, who was still nearby just now, disappeared without knowing it.

Huo Yingxiu was taken aback for a moment, and looked around, "Will it be in Bitong Garden?"

Bitongyuan is the courtyard where Huo Rongxiu lives.

Huo Yingxiu and Huo Huaxiu all looked at each other, and a sense of foreboding gradually rose in their hearts.

……

Huo Rongxiu came out from the small door of Huo's house, her daughter's makeup was also taken off her clothes, she put on an unremarkable servant's clothes, bowed her head slightly, and walked out.

Fukang Street is where high-ranking officials and dignitaries live, and Zhuque Street is where wealthy businessmen live. The two streets are clearly separated, and the expressions of the people passing by are different.

For Huo Rongxiu, her deepest memory is walking through Fukang Street and arriving at the gate of Xiaoxiang Building.

There, it is a place that Mr. Chu Lan often visits.

Xiaoxiang Tower...

Huo Rongxiu looked up, and the golden plaque seemed to indicate the unattainable Mr. Chu Lan.

And she and Mr. Chu Lan are destined to be flowers in the mirror of the moon in the water. They cannot be caught or loved. Birds fall in love with fish. There is an insurmountable gap between the two.

"Hey, where is the little beggar? Don't come to Xiaoxiang Tower to beg for food, just roll around."

When the gatekeeper of Xiaoxiang Tower saw Huo Rongxiu standing at the door for a long time, he took a step forward in displeasure, trying to drive her away.One or two were vicious, as if Huo Rongxiu was a heinous sinner.

Huo Rongxiu glared, "I came to Xiaoxiang Tower for dinner."

A servant who looks down on people with dog eyes, if she came to Xiaoxiang Building as Miss Huo, wouldn't it be flattering?

"Dinner? Just you? Hahahaha..." The doormen laughed happily, "I have never seen anyone come to eat in tatters. Can you make it better for the little beggar? At least, you have to Dress nicely. If you can come to dinner, then I can be the emperor tomorrow."

It is almost a status symbol for a noble person to come to Xiaoxiang Tower for dinner.

The food in Xiaoxiang Tower is top-notch, and there are also beauties with different characteristics who come out to sing and dance. It can be said that quite a few nobles like to visit Xiaoxiang Tower, just because there are beautiful women to see.

The consumption of Xiaoxiang Building is expensive, and Mingfeng Building is still doing casino business behind the scenes, and the brothel business in the open is also making money every day.

Xiaoxiang Tower is no exception. According to incomplete statistics, more than half of the people who have visited Xiaoxiang Tower spent about 5 taels, and the lowest was a few hundred taels.

This amount shows that Xiaoxiang Tower has a deep foundation, and it is also a place that many people can't reach.

Huo Rongxiu was so angry that when he was about to take out the money to go in, a familiar voice sounded again, "I'll treat him to dinner, so it's okay."

The young man in white, Chu Lan, came lightly and caused quite a commotion.

I saw him jumping down from the beam, his body was like a fairy, his face was like a jade crown, and the occasional smile was intoxicating.

He was standing next to Huo Rongxiu, and put his hands on her shoulders, Huo Rongxiu bowed her head in embarrassment.

The door boys immediately changed their expressions, "Young Master Chu, come whenever you want, and invite guests as you like. Xiaoxiang Tower welcomes Young Master Chu."

"Oh? Just now I saw you talking badly about this little brother. It seems that you don't like my friend."

Beneath the smiling face is a familiar coolness.

Seeing Mr. Chu Lan claiming to be the little beggar's brother, the door boys regretted their guts and wished they could go back and slap themselves a few times to refresh their minds.

Offended nobles, can they still work here?
Huo Rongxiu raised her head sharply, looking at Chu Lan's impeccable face, her ears turned red for some reason, and she turned her head away.

"Your slave has eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, and cannot recognize Mr. Chu's brother. Mr. Chu, please forgive me."

The doormen began to beg forgiveness for themselves.

Mr. Chu Lan's eyes flashed, "You offended my brother, what do you say, what should I do?"

Mr. Chu Lan has always been kind and charitable, his righteousness is thin, and people in the world call him Chu Qingtian.

At the same time, Chu Qingtian is not easy to mess with. There was once an ignorant schemer who cheated his subordinates out of his money. Mr. Chu Lan didn't say anything, and brought someone to kill him, and directly frightened the other party.

Now that Mr. Chu Lan is angry, there is no doubt that someone must pay the price.

The door boys could only beg the master in a spirited manner at the moment, they trembled, "Mr. Chu Lan...the slave has offended the nobleman, let him do whatever he wants, and only begs to spare his life."

After finishing speaking, he quickly kowtowed to admit his mistake, causing all the passers-by to look at him with color.

Huo Rongxiu hadn't spoken yet, but Mr. Chu Lan asked her, "Little brother, what do you think should be better? These people really don't know what to do."

The consumption of Xiaoxiang Building is high, and the servants who work here are full of pockets, which vividly reflects what is called a third-rank official in front of the prime minister.

The servants of Xiaoxiang Building are divided into three or six grades, and Huo Rongxiu is not the first, nor will he be the last.

It's just that this time they kicked the iron board, and they are destined to be unable to pass the level.

Mr. Chu Lan is not easy to offend, but that little brother seems to be kind-hearted and soft-hearted, maybe it would be better to beg him.

As a result, the doormen began to cry and sell their pity, "Little master, there are old and young in our family, and there is an 80-year-old mother who needs to be raised, and I have several children who need to be fed. My wife is terminally ill and urgently needs medical treatment, this slave cannot live without this job..."

"..." Huo Rongxiu was speechless.

It's not like she can't tell if it's really pitiful or not. She has taken care of the servants of the Huo family. These servants in Xiaoxianglou can tell at a glance that they are full of fat. Poor people with old and young to support?

Huo Rongxiu's tone was cold, "This rain silk is not a material that ordinary people can wear. The business of Xiaoxiang Building is indeed very good. Even poor people with families can afford rain silk."

Rain silk is a relatively new material, Ji Shaoyuan got a few, and specially sent them to Huo Rongxiu to have a look.

The servants of Xiaoxiang Tower use rain silk, which is quite moisturizing.

Mr. Chu Lan smiled all over his face, "As expected of my brother. Come here, take these liars down, and don't let them come out again."
