Chapter 233

It is the fifth day of December, and it has entered the cold winter season.

Jincheng is located in the south of the Yangtze River. Although the weather in December is not as snowy as in the north, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and cold, and the cold that penetrates into the bone marrow is really unbearable.

In this kind of weather, Huo Zhirou likes to nest in the house and warm the fire, holding the hand stove and not wanting to go out, watching the sun gradually show her face, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, there should be sunshine today, maybe it is a rare good weather .

"Miss!" A servant girl walked in quickly, "Breakfast is ready, would you like to have some breakfast first?"

Huo Zhirou today is the day when Yuan Bohan was hired, looked at the time, and then said: "Yuanmen hasn't come yet?"

"Miss, it's not time yet!" The servant girl had a playful smile on her face when she heard Huo Zhirou's words, as if teasing Huo Zhirou for being too anxious.

Huo Zhirou glared unhappily at the maid who was making fun of her. This expression immediately froze the smile on the maid's face. Then she lowered her head and stood respectfully in front of Huo Zhirou, not daring to tease her master anymore.

"Go down and prepare breakfast." Huo Zhirou looked at the maid in front of her and said lightly.

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, the servant girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then exited the room with a "yes".

Huo Zhirou looked at the appearance of this maid running away, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She suddenly missed Chunxiao and Yuan Yun in Hangzhou. Her master is already at Yuanmen, and I don't know if Yuanyun will regain his sanity.

Thinking of this, Huo Zhirou's smile gradually faded, and she became a little restless for no reason. She picked up the notebook at hand and read it absent-mindedly.

Suddenly, the pages of the book in his hand were blank. Huo Zhirou, who was lost in thought, came back to her senses. Seeing this scene, she was shocked.

"Doubt? Why is it blank, where are the words?" Huo Zhirou frowned, turning the pages of the book with his hands, and words appeared on the next page.

what happened?

Huo Zhirou touched the blank page carefully, and suddenly found that the page was a bit thick, and she frowned. Could it be that it was not printed properly when it was printed?This is impossible!

Just as Huo Zhirou was thinking, the servant girl came in, "Miss, breakfast is ready!"

The maid's voice brought Huo Zhirou back to her senses, she gave a faint "um", then closed the book, got up and had breakfast before talking.

In Feihe Tower, Yuan Bohan looked at the betrothal gifts in the hall, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Elder Yuanzhi and Elder Yuanxuan looked at the expression on the faces of their own masters, and then they looked at each other with a smile, and then Elder Yuanxuan said to Yuan Bohan: "Master, it's getting late, we should set off!"

Upon hearing his words, Yuan Bohan nodded and said, "Let's go!"

The people of Yuanmen heard Yuan Bohan's order, and immediately set off from Feihe Tower with all the betrothal gifts wrapped in conspicuous red paper on the ground...

The cloudy sky cleared and the sun shone on the earth. It is rare to have sunny weather in the cold winter. Seeing this, the people in the city came out to disperse the sun. However, they were stunned when they saw the posture of Yuanmen people carrying the betrothal gifts.

"Whose dowry is this? There are so many." A commoner exclaimed in amazement.

"Don't you have eyes? The person riding the horse in front is the master of Yuanmen!" A commoner beside him said angrily.

"Yuan... the head of Yuanmen, then... this is Xiapin, he is Xiapin?" The people who asked the question at first opened their mouths and shouted in disbelief.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course the head of the Yuan family gave the Huo family a betrothal gift, you pighead!"

The expression on the face of the man who was scolded as a pig's head turned green and white, and then he said inexplicably: "Huo Miss Huo, didn't you say that she was abandoned by Yuan Dangjia some time ago? Why is it that Yuan Dangjia personally hired her?" ? Is this... true?"

As soon as the man's words fell, everyone present showed strange expressions. They all thought of the rumors a while ago that Yuan Bohan, the head of the Yuan family, abandoned Miss Huo's family and left Jincheng, and now, he came to Jincheng personally to hire , and brought so many cars as dowry gifts.

Yeah, a lot of cars!

Many people looked at the carts of dowry gifts in front of them, and it was impossible not to say they were jealous. Although they didn't know how many cars the emperor gave the queen's dowry gifts, now they saw that it was not as good as the dowry gifts given by the head of the Yuan family. There is almost no tail, and some people even counted the number of cars with curiosity, but found that they could not be counted.

"It's over, it's over, my shopkeeper gave Huo's family a bad look some time ago, this is over! Which bastard spread the rumor that Miss Huo was abandoned by Yuan Dang's family! I will kill him!" The man After saying this, he didn't care about watching the excitement, and immediately turned and left to hold the letter.

Not only him, many people who had despised the Huo family before also turned ugly, turned around and left here.

Huo Zhirou didn't know about the excitement on the street, when she learned that Yuan Bohan was coming, she had already changed her clothes and went to the reception hall.

Seeing his younger sister coming, Huo Jiancheng said helplessly, "Which girl came to the front hall carelessly when the man was hired?"

Huo Zhirou heard Huo Jiancheng's joke, and immediately said with a smile: "Brother, that's a girl from another family, our Huo family is different from other families!"

Huo Jiancheng stared at Huo Zhirou's words, and was about to teach her a lesson when he heard the sound of firecrackers at the door.

"Young Master, Miss, Master Yuan has come to the door with a betrothal gift!" The servant walked into the hall excitedly.

The corners of Huo Zhirou's mouth curled up slightly, looked at Huo Jiancheng and said, "Brother, when today's business is over, who do you want to say about me, anyway, I want to see what kind of betrothal gift Bohan gave me today!"

"You're not ashamed!" Huo Jiancheng was annoyed and funny when he heard Huo Zhirou's words, but he didn't drive Huo Zhirou away again.

Yuan Bohan brought Elder Yuan Zhi and Elder Yuan Xuan into the door, saw Huo Zhirou and Huo Jiancheng in the hall, he smiled gently at Huo Zhirou, then cupped his hands and said to Huo Jiancheng: "Mr. Huo, the head of the family is here today. I proposed marriage to Miss Huo."

Seeing Yuan Bohan's actions, Huo Jiancheng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, this guy really knows how to act, thinking that Yuan Bohan has lived in Huo's house during this time, and now he is still so polite to him!

Although Huo Jiancheng was muttering in his heart, he still said with a smile on his face: "Master Yuan, it is an honor for the Huo family to be married to the Yuan family."

Hearing Huo Jiancheng's words, Yuan Bohan smiled and nodded towards Elder Yuanzhi and Elder Yuanxuan beside him. Seeing Yuan Bohan's actions, Elder Yuanzhi sent the dowry gift slip and motioned for the dowry gift to be moved into the hall .

When Huo Jiancheng took the long gift list, his eyes widened.Although he had long been prepared for Yuanmen to give a lot of dowry gifts, when he saw it with his own eyes, he was still amazed at Yuanmen's extraordinary financial resources, which also showed Yuan Bohan's importance to Huo Zhirou, didn't it?

A dazzling array of betrothal gifts were brought into the hall by the Yuanmen guards. There were countless jades, jewelry, and clothes of various seasons. The treasures were dazzling, and the golden betrothal money blinded people's eyes. For a while, the hall was piled up without a place to stay. , many betrothal gifts can only be placed outside, and for a while, the inside and outside are resplendent and resplendent.But this is just to show what he saw, only the employment form in Huo Jiancheng's hand can tell how valuable Yuan Bohan's dowry gift is this time, it is simply priceless.

Seeing this scene, the servants of the Huo family gasped one by one, amazed again and again, thinking that Yuanmen is the best in the world, and its financial resources are even better than that of the royal family.

Apart from being amazed, the members of the Huo family also laughed from ear to ear. This also shows that the head of the Yuan family attaches great importance to their young lady, doesn't it?This is a good thing!
Seeing Huo Jiancheng's surprised and satisfied appearance, Yuan Bohan smiled, came to Huo Zhirou's side, and said softly to her, "Are you satisfied?"

Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Huo Zhirou whitened him coquettishly, and said, "What if I'm not satisfied?"

"Not satisfied, I'll ask them to prepare and send it over next time!" Yuan Bohan said without thinking.

Huo Zhirou burst into laughter when he heard Yuan Bohan's words, and then said helplessly to Yuan Bohan: "You want to evacuate Yuanmen, are you the head of Yuanmen like this? Be careful that the elders deal with you!"

Yuan Bohan heard Huo Zhirou's joking words, and said with a smirk: "It's okay, I'll move it to my daughter-in-law, these elders won't say anything!"

Huo Zhirou: "..."

Although Elder Yuanzhi and Elder Yuanxuan on the side are already old, it does not mean that they are old and dim-sighted. Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, they suddenly couldn't laugh or cry. Master, master, you really want to please your wife. I don't care about this Yuanmen's property anymore. If I were to be the emperor, I would really be a vassal of Fenghuo opera, and the Bomei would be a foolish king with a smile!
Seeing the twitching of the muscles on the faces of the two elders, Huo Zhirou naturally knew that they heard Yuan Bohan's words at this time, secretly pinched the soft flesh on Yuan Bohan's waist, and stared at him in warning.

Yuan Bohan was stiffened by Huo Zhirou's actions, and then looked at Huo Zhirou flatteringly, "By the way, there is a person I brought back for you."

When Huo Zhirou heard Yuan Bohan's words, the movements of his hands relaxed a lot, and he asked suspiciously, "Who?"

Yuan Bohan signaled to the guard beside him, and the guard walked out quickly, and after a while, he was seen walking over with a maid.

"Miss!" Chun Xiao looked at Huo Zhirou excitedly.

Seeing Chunxiao, Huo Zhirou's eyes turned red. Before Chunxiao could salute, she grabbed Chunxiao's hand and said, "Chunxiao, why are you back?"

"My maidservant is your maidservant, why don't you come back? Miss, don't you want me?" Chunxiao said aggrievedly when she heard Huo Zhirou's question.

Huo Zhirou smiled and shook his head, and flicked Chunxiao lightly with his fingers, "You, you! You came here today, do you think you were taken as my betrothal gift by Bohan?"

"Pfft!" The people present couldn't help laughing when they heard Huo Zhirou's words.

Chun Xiao, who was being teased, stomped her feet, and said coquettishly, "Miss, this slave is yours, what has become a betrothal gift?"

Chun Xiao's words even drew laughter from many people, and for a while, the hall became even more jubilant.

It took a full hour for Yuan Bohan's betrothal gift to land, and the people watching the excitement outside were all envious, Yuanmen is really not an ordinary wealthy family!This dowry gift is the most they have ever seen.

Among the people watching the excitement, the face of a man wearing a patch distorted. He stared at the gate of the Huo family with monstrous hatred in his eyes, and clenched his hands tightly into fists. Luo Xingwei who was kicked out of the Huo family!
