Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 199
Cao Tianchao didn't quite agree with this point of view, and reminded: "Master, maybe she just dealt with it harshly, and Kanehu didn't object, so no one in the back house of Hu's mansion dared to do anything, she even dared to do it to the third concubine of Hu's mansion who has been in power for many years." Killed, and after the killing, Kanehu hasn't said much, and the others are not fools, so naturally they won't touch this bad luck."

A mocking smile suddenly appeared on Huo Huan's face, and he said, "Have you seen Kanehu?"

Cao Tianchao didn't know why his master asked such a question, and said truthfully: "If you go back to master, your subordinates have seen it."

"What impression does he give you?" Huo Huan asked again.

Cao Tianchao thought for a moment, then seriously replied: "You are old and cunning, you greet people with a smile, and you don't want to say anything."

"In that case, do you think he is an idiot?" Huo Huan finally recovered his original expression, sat back on the chair, and picked up the chopsticks again.

"Returning to the master, he is a profiteer with a humble background and careful thinking, otherwise he would not be able to climb to his current position." Speaking of this, Cao Tianchao also understood Huo Huan's intentions, that is to say, Kane Hu let an eighth The little girl who is [-] years old is the housekeeper and the director, and intervening in the business is not aimless, but intentional. He will not let people destroy the wealth he has worked so hard to build. There is only one possibility. The entrusted little girl really did Is it human?

Huo Huan picked up his chopsticks, poked at the leftovers on the table, and said boredly: "You also think he is not stupid, so his actions should not be abnormal, but should be taken for granted, right?"

"Master, do you think... that Nan Surou..." Cao Tianchao frowned.

There was a sneer on Huo Huan's face, and he hummed: "Hmph, Nan Surou, right? This young girl is not an ordinary country girl..."

At first glance, Nan Surou has nothing to do with the prince, but she and Kanehu are sworn brothers. Because of Kanehu, the empress looks favorably on her, and Concubine Ming, the third prince, and the sixteenth prince... are all The empress's thorn in the flesh, if Nan Surou is the empress's person, and if she has more outstanding abilities than ordinary people, then, will there be such a possibility, what happened to the concubine Ming, the third prince, and the sixteenth prince It has nothing to do with her....

"Master, you plan to..." Cao Tianchao suddenly paused halfway through his words.

Cao Tianchao knew Huo Huan somewhat after following Huo Huan for many years, and he also knew a little about Huo Huan's shameless preferences. Thinking of that question, he didn't dare to make mistakes, but just lowered his head.

Huo Huan didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently: "Don't touch her for now, you send someone to keep an eye on her, now, go and call the owner of Zuixianglou."

"Yes." Cao Tianchao gave his master a strange look, and retreated in response.

Not long after, the shopkeeper of Zuixiang Building was invited into the private room where Huo Huan was.

After Cao Tianchao sent him there, he quietly retreated, and even covered the door from the outside.

The proprietor of Zuixiang Building is named Fu Yu. He is not very old, but he has gray hair, slightly dull eyes, and a resolute and haggard face.

When Fu Yu was called here, he naturally knew what Huo Huan meant. Seeing Huo Huan staring at him with a half-smile, he trembled, and after a while, he hesitated and said, "Young... Major General, please go around the little boy." Right, the business of our Zuixiang Building is very bad recently, many diners have been snatched away by the Wanbaozhai opposite, there is really no extra money to give to you, but the food and drink materials are all self-sufficient, and you can provide them for free. "

Huo Huan threw away his chopsticks, took a neatly folded napkin from the table, wiped it on his mouth, and said casually: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, or, are you not afraid that I will reveal your previous criminal record to Beijing?" Zhao Yin?"

Hearing this sentence, Fu Yu trembled again. He remained silent, not knowing how to respond.

Looking at his expression, Huo Huan was very satisfied, and said with concern with a smile on his face: "Speaking of which, you are in your forties this year, and you have many wives and concubines. All you have are daughters. You have no son yet, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Yu broke out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "If you go back to the young general, the young ones don't have that kind of luck."

Fu Yu married many aunts and concubines in order to have sons, but all of them were daughters. The daughters in the family could make up a few mahjong tables if they wanted to.

For this reason, Fu Yu is so worried that he is young, his hair is gray, and those daughters are all his blood, so it is not good to just drive him out of the house. In this way, dozens of people in the family need him to raise alone, and the pressure of life will be great. It's too big, that's not counting, he also made friends with powerful people in the first place, in order to have officials who escorted him in the capital, but he was unlucky, he climbed to Huo's mansion, met Huo Huan, this No, the backing didn't make it a few times, and the mountain scraped his fat every three days, and the pressure made him almost die.

Huo Huan has never looked down on businessmen, and has always been hard-hearted towards businessmen, so he naturally would not feel pity for such a lowlife like Fu Yu, he said jokingly: "Ha, yes, you are the pillar of the family. If Jingzhao Mansion is seized and your property is confiscated, your wives, concubines and daughters will also be sold as official slaves by the government, right?"

"Hmm..." Fu Yu couldn't help uttering a word, and then swallowed all the words that came out of his mouth. Huo Huan's words were simply quatrains for him.

Huo Huan kept staring at the change in his face, took another dose of strong medicine, and said coldly: "If you are sold into the land of fireworks, you will be doomed. Do you want to cherish that little money, or cherish the time you came here?" Everything that is not easy? Think about it carefully?"

Fu Yu was really frightened. Instead of begging, he took out a bank note from his pocket tremblingly. It was the silver note that he took to the bank to exchange the remaining scraps of silver after paying the staff's wages today. His family He tremblingly handed over the food expenses for the next month.

Fu Yu looked haggard, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden, and he said in a trembling voice: "...here, these bank notes are all the little one's belongings, please... please accept it with a smile, the major general."

Huo Huan suddenly took the bank note that carried a thousand gold weight for Fu Yu, and took a look in front of him, his expression of success was replaced by disappointment in an instant, he curled his lips and said, "It's only 50 taels, you are really poor , prepare 100 taels for me next month!"

Huo Huan thought that he would always make Fu Yu, a merchant, spit out a little gold by beating him like that. After all, merchants, their status is a bit humble, and they must still have money. It's really unlucky. It's the first time to go out today. One order, but it didn't come to a full house.

This Zuixiang Building is adjacent to Wanbaozhai, so it is a prosperous place. Huo Huan thought that there was a constant stream of people coming and going here, so the business should be very good and there should be a lot of money.

"...Yes...yes..." Fu Yu didn't dare to make mistakes, so she had to obediently agree. She clearly hated her, but she still sent Huo Huan out of the gate of Zuixiang Building with a smiling face, nodding and bowing.
