Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 150 Peony column

The snowy skin is like jade, the temples are like crows, the slightly parted red lips exhale a sweet breath, mellow like wine, and the soft waist seems to be boneless, lingering in his palm, rising and falling like a snow mountain Swaying lightly, under him...

Huo Zhijian opened his eyes suddenly, with cold sweat on his forehead.

He is really a demon!

The muscles on his cheeks trembled, and the expression on his face seemed to be of extreme fear, but also of infinite joy.
"The Husband Lord is here, so it's easy for me to find." Mrs. Huo's voice came over suddenly.

Huo Zhijian's back straightened instantly.

Almost at the same time, all the charming thoughts dissipated, and even the cold sweat that broke out was blown dry by the wind in an instant.

At this moment, what appeared in his mind was a lackluster face, loose and rough skin, and the pungent smell of osmanthus hair oil.

The flamboyant and soft fragrance just now also condensed at this moment, turning into a heart full of boredom.

He closed his eyes, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and when he turned his face away, his expression was serious and cold.

Mrs. Huo was standing outside the pavilion, her reverent eyes flicked across his face, she lowered her head again, and said in a respectful voice: "Master Husband, my concubine is back."

Huo Zhijian let out a "huh", hung his hands down by his sides, and walked down the vermilion lacquer pavilion slowly.

At this moment, he seemed to be the majestic head of the family, and those struggles and difficulties just now were as if they had never happened before.

"How is the situation in the Qin residence?" He asked in a deep voice, while asking, he walked slowly along the stone path under the rockery, with a very steady gait.

Mrs. Huo followed behind him step by step, keeping a distance of half a step behind him, her voice was soft: "According to my concubine's observation, the Qin family is now a merchant, so there is nothing to worry about."

Huo Zhijian paused, twisting his beard and remaining silent.

Mrs. Huo also stopped.

From where she was, she could just see his furrowed eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" She became a little flustered, and quickly asked, "Did the concubine say something wrong?"

According to her guess, Huo Zhijian should have been happy when he heard the news, but at this moment, he seemed a little worried.

"It's nothing." Huo Zhijian quickly adjusted his facial expression, said softly, and looked back at Mrs. Huo, with a hint of gentleness in his eyes: "Miss, you have worked hard."

Madam Huo lowered her head in flattery, her voice became more gentle: "Whatever the Husband Master said, these are what I should do."

Huo Zhijian smiled at her, turned around and continued walking, until he turned around the path and came to the edge of the lotus pond, he stopped again, looked ahead, and said softly: "Okay, you are tired too , go back and rest, I'll stay for a while, there are some things I need to think about."

He didn't even turn his head when he spoke, and his tone was as calm and solemn as usual.

Mrs. Huo seemed to be happy, she bowed her knees and saluted, and whispered softly: "Yes, my concubine is going back first." After a pause, she softly warned: "Master, don't work too hard."

She seemed to be afraid that what she said was inappropriate, so she lowered her head a little uneasily after she finished speaking.

Huo Zhijian glanced back at her, and a slight smile crossed Junwei's face: "I know it myself. Don't work too hard, lady, just go back."

The concern in his voice was very light, but Mrs. Huo seemed very happy, two red clouds flew up on her cheeks, and she bowed her knees to him again, with a blushing face, she turned and left happily.

The mighty east wind blew again, blowing Mrs. Huo's clothes. She was originally a plump figure, but at this moment, from a distance, that figure looked more and more bloated.

Huo Zhijian's cold and serious gaze quickly slid away from the back, and a trace of impatience floated on his face.

However, the look quickly disappeared from his face.

Compared with the discomfort in bed every night, he has more important things to do at this moment.

"Changning." Huo Zhijian called out not far away.

Chang Ning is a servant carefully cultivated by the Huo Mansion. He is calm and prudent in his work. He originally followed Huo Lao Chengwei. Because Huo Zhijian came to Han'an County to take up the post of Zhongzheng, the position is very important, so the old Patriarch sent Chang Ning to him. around.In addition, Mrs. Huo also went to the post with her own son, and she didn't want to stay in Jianning County anymore. Huo Lao Chengwei naturally had to send more people to follow.

Chang Ning had been guarding the corner of the corridor pillar all this time, when he heard the call, he immediately turned the corner, took a few steps forward and bowed in salute: "I have met Zhongzheng."

Huo Zhijian waved his hands and said, "Get up."

Chang Ning straightened up according to the words, but his head was still slightly drooping, his hands were tied by his sides, and his behavior was very regular.

Huo Zhijian took a look at him.

Chang Ning is about 27 or [-] years old, handsome in appearance, with a pair of clear eyes showing a bit of shrewdness, but unfortunately he has a short figure, which makes him look younger than his actual age.

At this time, Huo Zhijian had already walked into the Jiuqu Corridor, he randomly chose a railing and sat down, and said to Changning in a gentle voice: "After taking office, everything is busy, and I only told you a few things. I don't have time to ask any more questions, and I don't know if you can find out anything. While there is nothing to do today, you can choose the most important information from the news you inquired about." As he spoke, he pulled the sleeve of his robe With a flick, the mood is very leisurely.

After arriving in Pingcheng, he asked Chang Ning to inquire about the affairs of the Qin family carefully. Now that he asked about it, Chang Ning immediately cheered up and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Zhongzheng. Since I received the order from Zhongzheng Afterwards, I sent a few people to go around the various prefectures, especially to inquire about the Qin family. When I got the news, the Qin family had a lot of troubles recently, and most of the troubles were related to several kilns. .”

"Well——" Huo Zhijian nodded, and said in a low voice: "Their family's business is not small, they have businesses in both the north and the south, and there are several large kiln factories, so there will be a lot of troubles." The tone is very Calm, without emotion.

Chang Ning responded, "What Zhongzheng said is extremely true. The first trouble for the Qin family is the brick kiln..." He gave very easily, and in a few words he talked about the Huguan Kiln and the Du family in Xiangyuan, and continued. "...As for the second trouble, it is in Huangbaipi. There is a good clay land there. The Qin family first took a fancy to it. But for some unknown reason, the Cheng family stepped in and set up the first move ahead of time. Now the two are at loggerheads."

While listening, Huo Zhijian gently tapped his index finger on the railing. After Chang Ning finished speaking, he also stopped what he was doing, and looked at a clump of peonies outside the railing, with pensive eyes and an expression on his face. His expression was somewhat hesitant.

After a long time, he asked, "That's all?"

Chang Ning bowed and said, "These are the important things, the rest are just chores."
