Chapter 36
"Master Yuan, this joke is not funny!" Huo Zhirou gritted his teeth tightly, and managed to utter this sentence, never expecting Yuan Bohan to be so shameless.

"Hahahaha!" Yuan Bohan patted his thigh and laughed when he heard Huo Zhirou's words, and Yuan Yin, who was standing beside him, saw her master smiling happily, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Huo Zhirou looked at the laughing Yuan Bohan, his face turned from white to green, then from green to red, took a deep breath, and said to Yuan Bohan: "Since Master Yuan refuses to help with this, I will leave!"

After Huo Zhirou finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.

Yuan Bohan looked at the back of Huo Zhirou leaving angrily, his laughter gradually stopped.

"Master, Miss Huo was mad at you." Said the vowel in a faint voice.

"Well, this little girl really has a temper, she dares to throw her face away and leave, she's quite courageous!" Yuan Bohan stood up, shaking his head with a smile.

When Yuan Yin heard Yuan Bohan's words, he secretly rolled his eyes. Master, you don't want to help others anymore, and they have no reason to stay and beg you. It's strange if you don't turn your back and leave!

"Yuan Yin, tell the people below that the Jinjin Conference will be held in ten days!" Yuan Bohan walked towards his residence, and after walking a long way, he said.

"Yes!" Yuan Yin responded when she heard Yuan Bohan's words, the master seemed to treat this young lady of the Huo family unusually.

"Miss, what should we do now? Master Yuan refuses to postpone the selection meeting." Chun Xiao looked at Huo Zhirou with an ugly face in distress, feeling a little worried.

Huo Zhirou frowned tightly, and said helplessly: "I don't know, let's go to the embroidery workshop first, and see if we can make a horse of brocade as soon as possible."

"Miss, since that's the case, why don't we cooperate with Yuanmen? This servant of the Yuan family doesn't look like a good person." Chunxiao thought of how Yuan Bohan made things difficult for her lady in the hall, and she became indignant.

Huo Zhirou rubbed the sore brows, she didn't want to cooperate with Yuanmen either, but she and Luo Xing made a bet, there was no turning back once they started, and if they couldn't cooperate, they had to find a way to cooperate!

When Jiang Guqiu heard about the flood in the embroidery workshop across the courtyard in the west of the Huo family, a smile finally appeared on his face, "Okay! Very good!"

"Ma'am, Huo Zhirou hasn't returned to the residence yet, so I think we'll have to settle this matter!" A handsome maid said to Jiang Guqiu.

"Hmph! Let's see how she solves the problem after burning down the entire embroidery workshop!" Jiang Guqiu showed a vicious expression on his face, "Does the master know about this?"

Maid: "..."

"What's wrong? What can't you say?" Jiang Guqiu asked angrily looking at the servant girl's hesitant and silent appearance.

"Ma'am, the master left the house again last night and didn't return all night." After the servant girl finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiang Guqiu's distorted face.

"Get out!" Jiang Guqiu threw the teacup on the table to the ground, and the good mood just now was swept away.

The servant girl heard Jiang Guqiu's roar and left the room tremblingly.

"Master, there is a letter from the capital asking you to go back as soon as possible!" Yang Chang quickly told Si Haoran after receiving the letter from Fei Ge.

Si Haoran frowned tightly, "What happened in the capital?"

"According to my subordinates' knowledge, there is no major event in the capital, but the emperor sent Eunuch Yang to the palace. He heard that you were out again and asked you to return to the capital as soon as possible." Yang Chang replied respectfully.

Si Haoran sighed softly, originally wanted to stay in Jincheng for a while, find that thing and visit Yuan Bohan by the way, but he didn't expect an accident.

"Pack up your things and prepare to return to the capital, leaving two people in Jincheng. You must find a way to find that thing from the Huo family."

"This subordinate knows, then master, do you want to tell Huo Zhirou when you leave?" Yang Chang asked aloud.

"She...she can't take care of herself now. We don't know if she's back after we leave. We can't tell the housekeeper of the Huo family because of her delay in returning to Beijing. He will naturally tell Huo Zhirou. Huo Zhirou owes her, and sooner or later she will ask her to come back!" Si Haoran felt a little regretful, if he hadn't returned to the capital in a hurry, he might have made some demands on Huo Zhirou, what a pity!pity!
Hearing Si Haoran's words, Yang Chang took the order and left.

Huo Zhirou was in the embroidery workshop discussing how to produce a horse of Jinjin within five days, and finally came up with a plan. Suddenly, a guy from Jinzhuang rushed in excitedly, and said excitedly: "Miss, Yuan The door just sent someone over to say that the selection meeting has been changed to ten days later!"

"What!" Huo Zhirou didn't care about this guy's lack of rules, and said in an excited voice: "You said that the selection meeting of the Yuan goalkeeper has been changed to ten days later?"

"Yes!" The clerk nodded, took out a bronzing post, and handed it to Huo Zhijudao: "The people from Yuanmen sent it over in person just now, and they said it would be handed over to you, miss.",

Huo Zhirou took the invitation, opened it, and when he saw the time on it, he let out a heavy sigh of relief, and collapsed into a chair.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Chunxiao said worriedly seeing Huo Zhirou's weakness.

Huo Zhirou waved his hand, "I'm fine."

"Miss, what do you think is going on with Master Yuan? When you were in Feihe Tower, you begged him to refuse to postpone the selection meeting. It didn't take long before he sent someone to send an invitation to postpone the selection meeting. Let the slaves be a little confused!"

When Huo Zhirou heard Chun Xiao's puzzled words, not only Chun Xiao was puzzled, but she was also puzzled, suddenly, she thought of something, a thought crossed her mind, and then she said through gritted teeth: "Damn, this guy tricked me! "

"Ah! Miss, you said Master Yuan tricked you?" Chun Xiao cried out in astonishment when she heard Huo Zhirou's words.

When the people in the room heard Chun Xiao's words, Qi Qi looked at Huo Zhirou with surprised eyes, but Situ Fan took a breath. His master would play tricks on the young lady of the Huo family in front of him. Could it be that the master really liked her? Eyes?

Huo Zhirou clenched her teeth tightly and clenched her hands into fists. She remembered this account!Yuan Bohan, just wait, you have played a trick on Miss Ben, and she will have to get her money back with interest afterwards!
Huo Zhirou returned to the mansion, and learned from Steward Cao that Si Haoran had left the mansion to return to Beijing, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the plague god had finally left.

Compared to Huo Zhirou's happiness, when Luo Huilan heard the news of Si Haoran's departure, she lost her temper in the room and wanted to chase Si Haoran away, but Huo Zhirou sent someone to guard the Xikuanyuan, and Luo Huilan Lan wanted to be courteous but could do nothing.

Ten days passed quickly, and tomorrow is the day for the Yuanmen General Assembly to choose.

On this day, Huo Zhirou was dressed up, wearing a color-changing gown with embroidered trim, intertwined branches and flowers intertwined with damask, a straight collar and a slanted front, a camel embroidered skirt with flowered gauze, a black ponytail, and a romantic and chic high bun. There are silk cat's-eye hair flowers inserted in the cloud temples, and a flat silver bracelet with nine curved plain patterns is worn on her creamy hands, and a pink and blue embroidered gold flower pattern is tied around her waist. A sachet of broken branches is hung on it. They wear gold thread embroidered double-petal lotus brocade two-color hibiscus satin shoes.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Huo Zhirou nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, let's go!"

At the gate, when Huo Zhirou saw Luo Xingwei, her face suddenly darkened.Her father didn't show up for ten days, but now on this day, she finally saw someone else!
Seeing Huo Zhirou looking at him with a gloomy face, Luo Xing suddenly said unhappily: "What? Are you unhappy seeing me?"

"Do you know what happened to Daddy's embroidery workshop ten days ago?" Huo Zhirou asked in a faint voice.

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Luo Xing showed a guilty expression on his face. He found out about this later, and he was very happy. He thought that after the accident in the embroidery workshop, Yuanmen's business would fail. It will be firmly in his hands, and this daughter will stay in the backyard obediently for him.

He coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, and then straightened his face and said: "I already knew about this, but since I entrusted you with the matter of Yuanmen, Dad naturally wanted to see yours." ability."

"Oh? What does dad think of his daughter's behavior?" Huo Zhirou had a sarcasm in his eyes when he heard Luo Xingwei's words.

"It depends on whether you can win the Yuanmen business!" Luo Xingwei said with a serious face.

"Okay, since daddy wants to test his daughter, she won't ask any more questions, but daddy, are you going to the Yuanmen selection meeting too?" Huo Zhirou looked at Luo Xingwei with a half-smile.

"As the master of the Huo family, why don't I go!" Luo Xingwei said angrily, and then he didn't say a word to Huo Zhirou, turned around and entered one of the carriages at the door.

Huo Zhirou looked at Luo Xingwei's fleeing appearance, curled his lips, snorted coldly, and got into another carriage.

The Jin brocade selection meeting of Yuanmen was held at the Feihe Tower near the lake in Jincheng. When Huo Zhirou and the others arrived, many merchants from Jincheng had already arrived.

When they saw Huo Zhirou and Luo Xingwei, they looked at their father and daughter with strange eyes. Recently, there were rumors in Jincheng that Huo Zhirou was unfilial and Luo Xingwei had a falling out. Zhirou didn't communicate with Luo Xingwei at all, and they confirmed what they had guessed in their hearts. What's more, they can still vividly remember the riots that this young lady of the Huo family made when Luo Xingwei married her second wife.

"Master Luo, Miss Huo, why are you father and daughter here today?" Boss Chen from the brocade shop came forward to say hello with a smile.

"Of course I will be there for such an occasion. As for Rou'er, she will inherit the family business in the future, so it's good to let her come out to practice!" Luo Xing smiled to change his stern face when he came in. Looking at Boss Chen in front of him, he said.

Huo Zhirou also bowed to Boss Chen in front of him, and said with a light smile, "Uncle Chen!"

Boss Chen nodded with a smile, and said to Huo Zhiju: "Miss Huo is so outstanding, it really discourages young people. It will be difficult for Miss Huo to marry in the future!"

Before Luo Xing could reply, Huo Zhirou said to Boss Chen with a smile: "Uncle Chen, you have said something wrong. In the future, I will not marry, but a husband and son-in-law, just like my mother." !"

Huo Zhirou's words immediately made Luo Xingwei pull down the smile on his face, while Boss Chen laughed a few times, looking at Luo Xingwei intentionally or unintentionally.This young lady of the Huo family is really different. She even told the matter of recruiting her husband in public, and she is not afraid of offending her father.

For men, marrying into a family is the most shameful thing, but there is a man who has married into the Huo family right in front of him, and Luo Xingwei feels the most shameful thing is being married into the Huo family, so he did not take away the Huo family's family business Go, this is something he is not willing to do.

"Guan Li brought Jin Jin here, Daddy, let's find a place to sit down first!" Huo Zhirou saw Situ Fan and Guan Shi entering the door from the corner of his eyes, nodded slightly at them and said to Luo Xingwei .

Luo Xingwei gave a light "um", found a seat and sat down.

After sitting down, Luo Xingwei asked Huo Zhirou: "Rou'er, how sure are you in this competition?"
