Chapter 35 Visit Yuan Dangjia

After Huo Zhirou woke up, only Chun Xiao was by her side to wait on her.

"Miss, are you awake? Is there anything uncomfortable?" Chun Xiao also immediately found Huo Zhirou who had opened his eyes, and asked nervously.

"Chunxiao, where are Uncle Cao and the others?" Huo Zhirou's voice was a little hoarse. Thinking of Jin Jin being burned, her heart felt as if blocked by a big rock. Could it be that the Huo family really can't turn over this time?

Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's question, and immediately said: "Butler Cao and the others are discussing the handling of this matter outside!"

"Help me up, I'm going to listen!" Huo Zhirou propped up her limp body and ordered to Chunxiao.

When Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's order, she hesitated for a moment, and then helped Huo Zhirou up.

When Huo Zhirou appeared in the study, the three Steward Cao were very surprised, "Miss, you are not feeling well, just leave this matter to us!"

Hearing Uncle Cao's words, Huo Zhirou shook his head and said, "How can I stay out of it when something like this happened?"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, the people present fell silent for a moment.

"Does my father know about this?" Huo Zhirou sat down and asked aloud.

"Master doesn't know yet, but I think it won't be long before Master will know. This matter cannot be concealed." Li Guanshi sighed softly. Originally, Luo Xingwei didn't expect to be able to get along with Yuanmen this time. Once the business is concluded, once he knows what happened in the embroidery workshop, he might use it to send people away.

Huo Zhirou frowned, and said: "It doesn't matter if my father knows, I'll take care of him. The key thing now is the business of Yuanmen. Master Situ, within five days, we can re-make the Jin Jin for trial use." ?"

Situ Fan on the side heard Huo Zhirou's question, rubbed his brows, and said with some distress: "I'm afraid I can't make the Jin Jin that was so beautiful before, unless I have another three days! "

Hearing Situ Fan's answer, Huo Zhirou frowned into the word "Chuan". She had seen the semi-finished products made by Situ Fan before, which were very delicate. With that, she was sure of winning, but who would have thought that it would go wrong, Hard work these days goes to waste.

"Why is there water in the embroidery workshop tonight?" Huo Zhirou's face was full of hostility.

"Old Wang who was watching the night said that he was knocked out, and when he woke up, he saw the fire. It should be someone who set the fire on purpose, and the younger one has already reported to the police!" Li Guanshi replied.

Someone set fire on purpose?Who on earth has such a deep hatred for the Huo family?

The more Huo Zhirou thought about it, the more anger grew in her heart. She clenched her hands tightly into fists. The most important thing now is not to find the culprit who set the fire, but how to get rid of Jin Jin.

"It's dawn, I'm going to visit the master of Yuanmen!" Huo Zhirou made a decision in his heart, and said aloud to the people present.

As soon as Huo Zhirou's words fell, the people present stared at Huo Zhirou with wide eyes, Cao Steward stood up, and said: "Miss, let the little one go to see the head of Yuanmen, if you go like this, if you are caught by outsiders I know, what will come out."

Butler Cao thought about why Huo Zhirou was also a woman who hadn't left the cabinet, and now she went to see a foreigner, what happened, how could he explain to the dead old man and wife?

Huo Zhirou shook his head when he heard Steward Cao's words, and said, "No! I must go! Uncle Cao, you don't have to persuade me!"

"But..." Butler Cao still wanted to stop Huo Zhirou, but Situ Fan who was beside him interrupted him.

"Steward Cao, only the young lady can go to this matter. Your identity does not represent the entire Huo family. A housekeeper is going to find the head of the Yuan family. Do you think the head of the Yuan family will meet?"

Situ Fan's words immediately made Butler Cao look embarrassed, but his identity was not enough.

"Uncle Cao, don't worry, I will take care of myself!" Huo Zhirou said with a soft sigh.

Huo's guest house, Si Haoran stood in front of the window with his brows tightly frowned. At this time, he was in an extremely bad mood. He tested Luo Xingwei yesterday, but found that he knew nothing about that thing. Now the only clue is It's Miss Huo's family!
"Master!" Yang Chang walked quickly behind Si Haoran, and said respectfully: "According to the report from the dark guard, a fire broke out in the Huo family's embroidery workshop last night, and the Huo family's Jin brocade was destroyed. Go to the embroidery workshop."

"Oh?" Si Haoran heard Yang Chang's words and turned around, "Is this embroidery workshop so important?"

"I heard that Yuanmen intends to select Jinjin merchants in Jincheng, and the Huo family also intends to participate, but this fire probably ruined their preparations." Yang Chang informed Si Haoran of the inquired news.

"Yuanmen..." Si Haoran's eyes flashed sternly, and when he thought of who the head of Yuanmen is now, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yuan Bohan is also in Jincheng?"

"Yes!" Yang Chang replied respectfully.

"It's been so many years. I haven't seen this cousin for a long time. I sent someone to send an invitation, saying that I want to visit him!"

Yuan Bohan's biological mother is the eldest sister of the current emperor. In order to marry the old head of the Yuan family, she broke away from the royal family. Yuan Bohan and Si Haoran are cousins ​​by blood.

"The subordinates know, then master, what are you going to do with this Miss Huo? Stay in the Huo family? The subordinates have noticed that this Miss Huo doesn't seem to be interested in you, but her concubine sister likes the master You, why don't we use her concubine daughter?" Yang Chang suddenly became unhappy when he thought of Huo Zhirou's attitude towards Si Haoran, his master is the prince, and even a small merchant's daughter dared to despise the prince.

"Her? That concubine? Hmph! It's just something that can't be put on the table. Huo Zhirou didn't regard her as his younger sister at all. Can he get that thing by using her? It's better to start with Huo Zhirou!" Si Haoran There was contempt in his eyes, a woman like Luo Huilan was not worthy of carrying shoes for him, and if she wanted to be pretty, she wouldn't be qualified to be a concubine for him!

"Then how to get this thing?" Yang Chang thought that they would not stay in Jincheng for too long, and suddenly became worried.

"You send invitations to Yuan Bohan first. Since Huo Zhirou didn't show mercy last time, let her owe you a big favor!" Si Haoran had a confident expression on his face, and he already had a plan in his heart. .

When Yang Chang heard Si Haoran's words, he immediately understood, "This subordinate knows!"

Huo Zhirou returned to the mansion to freshen up and change her clothes, then hurried to Feihe Tower.

"Master, please see Miss Huo!" Yuan Yin said respectfully to Yuan Bohan, who was teasing the birds. Thinking of today's master knowing about the leak in Huo's Embroidery Workshop, it is expected that Miss Huo should visit him , Sure enough, the master is predicting things like a god!

When Yuan Bohan heard the words of the vowel, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, adding color to the whole handsome face, and said with a smile: "Please go to the hall!"

"Yes!" Yuan Yin retreated respectfully upon hearing Yuan Bohan's order.

Huo Zhirou sat in the hall, looking at the tea in her hand restlessly, thinking of the major events facing the Huo family, she kept frowning tightly.

When Yuan Bohan stepped into the hall, he saw Huo Zhirou holding a teacup with a sad face, but his coming in didn't seem to make Huo Zhirou feel it.

"Could it be that the tea in Hexian Tower is not good? Ms. Huo doesn't like it?" Yuan Bohan looked at Huo Zhirou with a half-smile and asked.

Yuan Bohan's words immediately brought Huo Zhirou, who was in distress, to her senses. She quickly put the teacup in her hand on the coffee table, then stood up, and saluted Yuan Bohan, "Yuan Dangjia !"

Yuan Bohan sat on the main seat, raised his eyebrows at Huo Zhirou, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, many merchants in Jincheng have come to visit Ben Bohan, and I didn't expect it to be Miss Huo's turn to come to the door in person today. It's really an honor for Yuan to visit!"

Huo Zhirou smiled wryly at Yuan Bohan's words with deep meaning. She naturally knew that many people from Jincheng came to visit Yuan Bohan these days in order to make Yuan Bohan a good impression, but she didn't bother with it. , She wanted to win the business with her strength, but she didn't expect that someone would deliberately set fire to the embroidery workshop, which destroyed Jin Jin who was about to participate in the competition.

Therefore, she had no choice but to come to Yuan Bohan for help, but now she made Yuan Bohan laugh.

Huo Zhirou took a deep breath, and said to Yuan Bohan: "Master Yuan, it is said that you can go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, the little girl is visiting today, and she really has something to ask Master Yuan!"

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me!" Yuan Bohan asked in a faint voice as he leaned lazily on the chair.

"Last night, a fire broke out in the Huo family's embroidery workshop, and all the brocade was burned down. Five days later, it will be the Yuanmen's competition to select Jin brocade. The five days are extremely tight. It is difficult for the Huo family to produce Jin brocade within five days, so I implore Master Yuan to postpone the selection meeting for a few days to give the Huo family a chance." Huo Zhirou said to Yuan Bohan sincerely.

Yuan Bohan raised his eyebrows when he heard Huo Zhirou's words, "What happened to the Huo family?"

"Yes!" Huo Zhirou thought of the fire at night, bloodthirsty eyes flashed across her eyes, if she knew who did it, she must cut this guy to pieces!

"Miss Huo, it's not an easy matter to postpone the Yuanmen's Jinjin Selection Conference for a few days." Yuan Bohan said with a distressed look.

Hearing Yuan Bohan's words, Huo Zhirou frowned tightly, "My little girl knows, but it's just a last resort, and my little girl dare not come to ask Yuan to be in charge of the house."

"Hehehe, Ms. Huo, the Huo family has nothing to do with Yuanmen, why would someone in Yuan want to help Ms. Huo postpone the Jinjin Conference?" Yuan Bohan said with a sly smile in his eyes It is indeed extremely cold.

Huo Zhirou's face turned pale when he heard Yuan Bohan's words, Yuan Bohan refused to do her this favor!

The hands in the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and the body was tense, "Yuan Dangjia, the Huo family's Jinjin promises not to disappoint you, not to mention Situ Fan is a talent, he made this Jinjin, Yuan Dangjia Will not be disappointed.”

Huo Zhirou didn't forget that when Yuan Bohan invited her, he said that Situ Fan was the talent he wanted to recruit, but now she didn't have much chips in her hand, so she could only take this out.

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Yuan Bohan stroked his chin with his fingers, looking like he was thinking, and the hall became eerily quiet for an instant.

Huo Zhirou looked straight at Yuan Bohan, waiting for his reply.

"Miss Huo, if the Huo family is destroyed and Situ Fan has nowhere to go, is it easy for someone Yuan to recruit him?"

Yuan Bohan's words immediately caused cold sweat to break out from Huo Zhirou's back, and his face was as pale as white paper...
