black belly

Chapter 55
Luo Huilan, who had been tortured all night, was now very thin. On the day she was sent back, she vomited whatever she ate. There was nothing in her stomach, and what she vomited was sour water. After finally recovering, she learned that Huo Zhirou had been killed The news of the betrothal to Zhang Bing made her heart ache with anger.

Jiang Guqiu, who was resting on the bed, looked calm. Seeing her daughter like this, she frowned, and said in an unhappy voice: "Lan'er!"

Luo Huilan looked at Jiang Guqiu, who was not angry at all, with dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "Mother, father is so eccentric that he actually let Huo Zhirou, a stinky girl, be betrothed to the son of Chen Zhifu!"

Looking at her brainless daughter, Jiang Guqiu rubbed the center of her brows with a headache. How could she give birth to such a stupid daughter?How could she fight Huo Zhirou like this?

"Mother, you're just talking!" Luo Huilan shouted dissatisfiedly when she saw Jiang Guqiu's appearance.

"Lan'er, think about it with your brain, okay? If Huo Zhirou gets married, the Huo family won't have her say! Also, I've heard of the son of the prefect of Chen, he is a son who can only spend money and drink. Huo Zhirou marrying him, what do you think will happen?"

When Luo Huilan heard Jiang Guqiu's words, she immediately understood, and said with a smug smile: "Mother, the marriage arranged by Dad is really good. Let's see if Huo Zhirou can have a good life after he gets married, hmph!"

Jiang Guqiu saw his daughter figured it out, and breathed a sigh of relief, she wasn't too stupid, "I tell you, stay in the yard peacefully and don't provoke that stinky girl again. do you know?"

When Luo Huilan heard Jiang Guqiu's words, she curled her lips. Although she was not reconciled, but thinking of Huo Zhirou's methods against her, she felt a little scared, so she nodded, agreeing to Jiang Guqiu.

Steward Cao heard that Luo Xingwei was going to marry Huo Zhirou to Chen Bing, and he couldn't hide the worried expression on his face all the way along.

"Uncle Cao, ask someone to investigate something, to find out where my father has been during the few days he has not returned to the house, and also, to find out who my father made a marriage contract with the Chen family. "

Huo Zhirou picked up the blooming flowers in her hands, lowered her head, and plucked the petals fiercely with her hands. Her expression was similar to the movements of her hands, with a ferocious look. After a while, this beautiful flower was destroyed badly up.

At this time, Huo Zhirou thought that if it wasn't for Luo Xingwei to reach the marriage contract with Chen Zhifu, it would be fine, if the marriage contract was broken, there wouldn't be too much trouble, if so, things would be a little tricky.However, Huo Zhirou still had strong doubts in his heart. How could the Zhang family want her, a merchant's daughter, to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family? Even if the prefect Zhang agreed, would the prefect Zhang's wife, Zhang Bing's mother, Shangguan, agree? ?

In fact, many people know that Zhang Zhifu was able to do so smoothly in the official position, and many of them were helped by his wife, Shangguan. Shangguan was the concubine of Shangguan from a family in the capital. Therefore, even bringing a son-in-law is very important to the old man.Although this Shangguan family is a concubine, she has a very high heart. She will never let her beloved son marry a business woman, so that when she returns to her natal family, she will lose face with her sisters.

Huo Zhirou also met this Shangguan family. It was before Huo's death. Mrs. Zhang invited noble ladies from Jincheng to enjoy the flowers, but her eyes were high above her head, and she looked proud It made people very unhappy, and she still liked others to please her. At that time, Huo, as a strong lady in the shopping mall, naturally knew countless people. Knowing that Shangguan actually looked down on them, women from Shanxi merchants, she naturally didn't follow others. Being so flattering, Huo Shi's indifference naturally displeased Shangguan Shi.

Huo Zhirou pouted secretly, she didn't believe that Shangguan would want her as his daughter-in-law!
"One more thing." Thinking of this, Huo Zhirou threw away the flowers in his hands, raised his head and said to Steward Cao, "Go and check on Madam Zhang's whereabouts, I want to get in touch with Madam Zhang."

When Housekeeper Cao heard Huo Zhirou's words, he kept it in his heart, and sent someone to investigate after a while, "Miss, what about this marriage?"

Huo Zhirou looked at Steward Cao's worried look, clenched his hands into fists, and said firmly, "Uncle Cao, don't worry, I won't marry Zhang Bing, this guy is not worthy to be my husband-in-law!"

Steward Cao looked at Huo Zhirou's disdainful expression, and when he heard what she said, he couldn't laugh or cry, and reminded: "Miss, don't say such things outside, or you will get into trouble!"

"Don't worry, Uncle Cao, you should send someone to inquire first. This troublesome matter should be resolved as soon as possible. I don't want to make the trouble known to everyone in Jincheng. That would be bad." Huo Zhirou didn't want to talk nonsense, impatiently He waved his hand calmly, signaling Cao Guanshi to go to work.

Steward Cao nodded when he heard Huo Zhirou's urging, and then left.

Huo Zhirou hadn't waited until Cao Guanshi sent someone to find out, but he got a letter sent by Yuan Bohan, looking at the domineering font on the letter, there was a sentence, "Miss Huo, are you Forgot something?"

Huo Zhirou looked at this piece of paper and there was a sentence, her brows were deeply frowned, she turned over the paper in her hand, and when she was sure that there was this sentence, she looked at the servant who sent the letter, and said : "Just this letter? The person who sent the letter didn't bring anything?"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's question, the servant replied respectfully: "Miss, regarding this letter, the person who delivered it said that it should be in your hands, Miss, and you will know, but nothing else was said. "

Huo Zhirou heard the servant's words, nodded, and after telling him to back off, stared at the paper in his hand in a daze.

Chun Xiao who was at the side saw Huo Zhirou's puzzled look, and asked aloud, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"Chun Xiao, what do you mean by this head of the Yuan University?" Huo Zhirou raised his head in confusion.

Chun Xiao didn't understand what Huo Zhirou meant by these words, she shook her head and said, "I don't understand."

Huo Zhirou picked up the letter Yuan Bohan wrote to her between his fingers, shook it a few times in the air, and said: "The head of Yuan University asked me if I forgot something. I thought about it, but I just couldn't remember it. Woke up, what did I forget?"

"Ah!" Chunxiao was dumbfounded when she heard Huo Zhirou's words, this is why the head of Yuanda sent the letter to his lady for this matter?
"Chun Xiao, you have met this Master Yuan three times with me, help me think about what this Master Yuan said, or what I promised him to forget." Huo Zhirou rubbed the center of her brows in distress, why did she want to Can't get up?Could it be that too many recent events caused her to suffer from amnesia?

When Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's words, she wrinkled her face and thought about it. Suddenly, she thought of something, and said to Huo Zhirou: "Miss, when you went to Mr. Yuan's family for help that day, did you say that you wanted to invite Mrs. Yuan to dinner?" The head of the family will also send a thank you gift."

When Huo Zhirou heard Chun Xiao's words, she slapped her forehead with her hand, and suddenly realized that she had indeed inquired about Yuan Bohan, but...

Huo Zhirou looked down at the letter in his hand, feeling like he couldn't laugh or cry, the head of Yuan sent someone to deliver the letter just for this matter, what should I say about this guy?The head of Yuan's family has never eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, yet he wants a little girl from her to entertain him!

Huo Zhirou really couldn't figure out the thoughts of this head of the Yuan family. The Jinjin merchant had already been selected. It stands to reason that this guy should leave Jincheng, but he didn't expect to leave yet.

Huo Zhirou took a deep breath, fortunately he didn't leave, otherwise this audit wouldn't be resolved so quickly, since everyone reminded him, there must be a banquet.

"Prepare the pen and ink, I'll write back to Master Yuanda." Huo Zhirou instructed Chun Xiao.

After hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Chunxiao prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After writing a reply letter, Huo Zhirou dried up the ink on the paper, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Chun Xiao, "You personally send the letter to Master Yuanda."

Chunxiao put it away and took orders to leave.

After Huo Zhirou was the only one in the room, she propped her chin and thought deeply, what kind of gift would she like to send to this head of the Yuan Sect?This Yuanmen boss has never seen anything of great value. Will the big gift she gave make this guy interested?
Huo Zhirou was very distressed, it was the first time that giving gifts was difficult, what should I give?Time is tight, her appointment is tomorrow, if she knew it earlier, she should have given herself more time to choose the gift.

Huo Zhirou thought for a while, but still didn't have a clue, got up, took out the key of the warehouse from the box, and planned to go to the warehouse to see if there were any good things.

Opening the warehouse, looking at the many things inside, this small warehouse was left to her by her mother, Luo Xingwei didn't know, if Luo Xingwei knew, he would have taken this small warehouse as his own .

Walking around in the warehouse, Huo Zhirou's gaze finally settled on a warm jade.

This piece of warm jade is smooth and delicate, oily and shiny, and feels warm to the hand. When it is placed in the hand, it feels cool first and then warm, as if holding it in a girl's soft palm, making people seldom comfortable.Nuanyu was also carved extremely delicately, with mysterious patterns engraved on it, and Huo Zhirou didn't know what this pattern looked like, like a dragon or a phoenix, a movement she had never seen before.

Huo Zhirou's grandfather got this piece of warm jade by accident when he went to the Western Regions when he was young. When Huo Zhirou was young, he saw his granddaughter like playing with jade, so he took this piece out for Huo Zhirou to play with, and then this warm jade was also picked up by Huo Zhirou Shi put it away.

Huo Zhirou looked down at this piece of warm jade, thought for a while, then the corners of his mouth curled up, since he didn't have anything good to give away, he gave this piece of jade as a gift. Few people carved jade in this shape in the North Wing, and it looked unique, which might interest the head of Yuan University.

Huo Zhirou put Nuanyu in the box, thinking about finding an exquisite box to store it in a while, and the matter was resolved.

At this time, Yuan Bohan received Huo Zhirou's reply, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, this girl is quite smart, not bad, not bad!
The vowel on the side looked at the happy look of the master. It has been a long time since the master looked like this. The master is rarely interested in people or things, but once the master is interested, the master will get it at any cost. Now the master sees Miss Huo The look in his eyes, like a fox seeing its prey, tried its best to get it. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for Miss Huo!
