Princess of the auxiliary country

Chapter 436: Conversation

Huo Junyao then said a lot more, but the meaning of his words was that I would not offend others unless they offended me.

However, her words were very gentle, as if she was really talking about business.

Marquis Xuanwu also listened very carefully, but Xiaochan was indeed confused.

She always felt that her young lady was not normal today. Why did she say all these things for no reason?
This was totally unlike her usual personality. Although she was confused, she did not ask foolishly, but just stood behind Huo Junyao honestly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Huo Junyao smiled awkwardly and said, "I can't stop talking now. I'm sorry to make Marquis Xuanwu laugh."

"It's okay. I have always only paid attention to the affairs in the military camp and rarely come into contact with these things. After listening to what the princess said today, I find this business very interesting."

"No one has ever been optimistic about business, but I didn't expect there to be so much knowledge involved. No wonder the princess is interested in doing business. There are indeed many fascinating things in it."

Marquis Xuanwu was very considerate and did not seem impatient at all.

Interested, really quite interested.

After all, this is a money-making business. Perhaps he really didn't think much of business in the past, but with the emergence of Huo Junyao, he had to pay attention to the influence of this business.

There are many people who share the same idea as him.

Once upon a time, didn’t Emperor Zhaowu look down on business?
But now, he is also quite interested in business, and he will study it in his free time. As he studies in depth, he also finds that there is indeed a lot of knowledge in business, and it can even be used to govern the country.

"Marquis Xuanwu, I haven't seen you for many years."

Just then, Huo Jingzhi's voice came from outside the door.

Huo Junyao stood up with a smile. When Xuanwu Hou heard someone calling him, he also stood up and looked towards the door. When he saw Huo Jingzhi, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Old Huo, hahaha, we two brothers haven't seen each other for many years."

Huo Jingzhi also smiled and bowed, saying, "You have been in Xihuguan for many years and you don't even come back to the capital occasionally. We old brothers sometimes ask you to come over when we drink."

"Hahaha, to be honest, it's indeed my fault. In a couple of days, I'll organize a party for us old brothers to get together. We won't leave until we're drunk."

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Huo Jingzhi looked at Huo Junyao beside him and nodded slightly, then said to Xuanwu Hou, "You came here today because of your daughter's matter, right?"

Hearing this, Marquis Xuanwu showed a look of shame on his face and nodded, "Hey, that girl, I have spoiled her since she was a child, and she doesn't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is. I was just talking to the princess about it, and I wanted her to come to the capital to learn some rules, but I never thought that she would cause trouble for me as soon as she came to the capital. I am really ashamed."

Huo Jingzhi smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "When you first opened the capital, I told you to come back more often and that Xihuguan is not your lifelong home, but you didn't listen."

As he said that, he turned to look at Huo Junyao and said, "Yaoyao, your father and I went to the battlefield together with your uncle Gao, and we have a deep friendship. You are just too hot-tempered, but luckily nothing serious happened."

"Now that your uncle Gao has come to visit you personally, you must not continue to embarrass Xiao Ting."

Huo Junyao smiled helplessly and said, "Dad, am I a narrow-minded person in your eyes?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xuanwu Hou quickly replied, "Old Huo, you misunderstood the princess. The princess has already explained it to me, and this time it was indeed Xiaoting's fault. I should thank the princess for helping to teach her a lesson. This girl doesn't know her place, and she doesn't know how to respect others. If this happened to someone else, who knows what would happen."

"Besides, the matter has already passed. I came to your house today not to call you to task, but to apologize and clear up the misunderstanding. We have been friends for many years, so some things can be just talked out. There is no need to make it so formal." "Yes, yes, it's good enough to clear up the misunderstanding. I was in the capital just now, and when I heard that you were coming, I came here immediately, and I also brought two pots of good wine. We haven't seen each other for many years, so you must have lunch together today."

“Will this be too intrusive?”

Marquis Xuanwu was in a bit of a dilemma.

"What are you disturbing me about? It's not happening. You've lived in Xihuguan for so long that you don't know. The food at my daughter's hot spring villa is top-notch. Many famous restaurants in the capital can't even compare to it. Even the chefs in the palace often come here to learn and ask for advice."

At this point, Xuanwu Hou also showed an interested look and said with a smile, "Is it really so?"

"Marquis Xuanwu, since you are here today, please stay for lunch. I will have someone prepare it."

"Then I'll trouble you, my lord."

Huo Junyao smiled and said, "Then Xuanwu Hou, please talk to my father. I will leave first."

"Princess, please go and get busy."

After Huo Junyao left, Huo Jingzhi smiled and invited Marquis Xuanwu to take a seat, and asked the servants to serve tea.

“Old Huo, your daughter is amazing. She is definitely the best among the younger generations of us old brothers.”

As he said this, he gave a thumbs up.

Huo Jingzhi was rarely modest about this, and said with a smug smile, "She is indeed very outstanding, and I am very pleased about this."

Huo Junyao's achievements and abilities are there for all to see, so being modest would make people feel hypocritical.

"Ah, it's true that people are useless when compared with others, and things are useless when compared with others. Thinking about my daughter, I really have a headache. If she can have one tenth of the ability of the princess, I'm afraid I will wake up laughing in my sleep."

"Teach her slowly, she is still young."

"How long do you plan to stay in the capital this time?"

Huo Jingzhi asked casually.

"Old Huo, we are brothers. I am not satisfied with you either. The emperor wants me to stay in the capital this time. I am still considering it, but I am inclined to stay in the capital."

"Although I have lived in Xihuguan for many years, the capital is my home after all. I am getting older and older, so I naturally want to come back here. We still have many old brothers here."

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi nodded and said, "It's good to come back. Your children are all grown up. It's not a good idea to stay in Xihu Pass. Coming back to the capital will at least give them a better future."

"Don't worry, we old brothers are still here. If you really come back, you can help us a little."

"Hahaha, if someone else said this, I wouldn't believe it, but if you, Old Huo, said this, I believe it."

"Although I have an idea, you also know that Xihuguan is special. Even if I want to come back immediately, I have to go there to make arrangements."

"Indeed, because you have been in charge of Xihu Pass these years, Tubo and Tuyuhun have not dared to make any moves. We should make good arrangements to avoid chaos. This is no small matter."
