Food, Color, Medicine and Fragrance: Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 12

Huo Qihan, who was soaked all over his body, immediately returned to Huo's mansion under the cover of night. Butler Xie couldn't help but feel his heart ache when he saw how wet he was all over. He trotted all the way and ordered the maids to fetch some hot water for him to take a bath to drive him away. chill.

Huo Qihan took a shower comfortably, changed into clean clothes, and was about to go to Mr. Huo's place for a reward in a refreshed manner. Unexpectedly, he met the eldest lady in the corridor of the water pavilion.

The eldest lady was dressed in a splendid jade robe, and her head was covered with pearls and emeralds, which glistened under the light, giving her a very noble appearance.

Or they have been pampered and pampered, their skin is fair and rosy even though they are over forty years old, but their eyes are like sharp poisonous arrows, making people very uncomfortable to see.

Huo Qihan's eyes darkened when he saw her, and then he bent down to salute.

The eldest lady smiled and retreated from the maids on both sides, and said softly: "My family members don't need to be polite."

After speaking, he approached Huo Qihan and looked him up slowly, then said softly in an almost inaudible voice: "Don't try to make small moves, this Huo family will never be your turn, son of a bitch."

After speaking, it was like a puff of smoke, and he drifted away with the two maids.

Huo Qihan was left with a graceful and cold back.

The son of a bitch, hehe, just because mother is the concubine that father secretly paid behind her back, it is ironic that she should bear this title for the rest of her life.

It's a pity that the Huo family's property is not in his eyes yet.

Huo Qihan's mouth curled into a sneer, even though mother was sorry for the eldest lady, but mother has been dead for ten years after all, and the hatred that should have disappeared.

When he came to the study, Master Huo was still reading.

Huo Qihan knocked on the door and went in. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Father, is the beauty pageant tonight exciting? It doesn't cost much, 100 taels is enough."

Master Huo looked up at him, and then snorted: "You still have the nerve to ask me for money. I want you to destroy it perfectly, not to make you jump around. You said that the water with added sugar is the same as the water with added sugar. Can salty water taste the same! Besides, if this matter gets into a thorough investigation by the imperial court, there is no guarantee that we will not be involved, so you pay for it yourself."

Huo Qihan was taken aback, Master Huo's words were not unreasonable, he scratched his head and was a little tangled, but suddenly noticed the sly smile on the corner of Master Huo's mouth, and understood that this is a typical hooligan who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges.

Whether this water is added with sugar or salt, it is still water. If you like sweet drink sweet drink, drink salty drink salty drink.

"father."

"Don't call me daddy, or if I get angry, I will punish you and ground you again, so as not to go out and make people suspicious."

Well, Huo Qihan understood the old fox's intentions, he didn't want to pay at all, and even threatened him secretly, he had to choose between money or freedom.

Huo Qihan held back the desire to growl, his eyes were tearing up, and when he finally turned his eyes to see a portrait on Master Huo's desk, there was a sudden sourness in his eyes.

"Father, the day after tomorrow is mother's memorial day, will you go?"

Hearing this, Master Huo was taken aback, then quickly covered the portrait on the table with a book, and murmured: "Yes, it's been ten years."

In turn, his eyes darkened and he shook his head and said: "No, you should go, I am ashamed of her, I have no face to see her."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Huo Qihan's eyes, and finally he said with a smile: "Father is afraid of the eldest lady, or maybe mother just wants to see me alone."

Say it and go out regardless of etiquette.

Although it is spring, the air is a bit cold tonight.

Lying on the bed, Huo Qihan thought of Nangongling's threat to him, either marry Nangongjing, or prepare to accept his cruel baptism.

If he marries Nangong Jing, his status in the Huo family will obviously be higher in the future. Although the Nangong family's wealth is slightly inferior to that of the Huo family, the secret power of Nangong has never been known to outsiders.

Therefore, I am afraid that even Mr. Huo has no idea how powerful the Nangong family is.

The superficial contest between the two old men is probably just a cover-up, and the private contest is the most terrifying.

Now that the Nangong family is taking advantage of the victory, they have also participated in the industries involved in the Huo family and have begun to grow. If this momentum continues, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not lose their status as the four richest men in Jiangnan.

So the most important thing right now is to open up another territory and open up new industries.

To say that the only industry the Huo family has not set foot in right now is catering, but looking at the entire Jiangnan, restaurants and restaurants have already bloomed everywhere, and there is really nothing innovative.

Huo Qihan sighed, and finally said to himself: "What are you worrying about, as if the whole Huo family is already your own."

He didn't want Nangong Jing, why should his own destiny be in the hands of others.

Turning over like a pancake on the bed, Lin Xiaorou's ugly face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he sat up in shock.

Could it be that I hurt others' self-esteem too much just now, and now I feel guilty.

Huo Qihan tossed and turned, and finally just sat up, grinded and brushed and wrote a letter quickly to be handed over to Nangong Ling tomorrow. Anyway, the big brother is watching when the sky falls, so it is possible that Nangong Ling can still It turned the sky upside down.

If you want him to marry, he will not marry.

Although Nangong Situ kept his mouth shut about the screw-up of the beauty pageant, word of mouth still spread.

It was rare for Huo Qihan, who got up early, to sit tiredly with two dark circles under his eyes. He ordered a pot of Longjing tea and watched the people coming and going on the street leisurely, and then stretched out comfortably. lazy.

Sitting on the next table was a person who seemed not to have slept well like him, with his head lying on the table and a white teacup in one hand.

Huo Qihan happened to be bored, so he felt playful, took his teacup and quietly sat across from that person, then coughed and said: "I said buddy, the teahouse is a place for people to drink tea and amuse themselves, isn't it? A place of deep sleep."

The man opened his eyes, looked at Huo Qihan sleepily, and said lazily, "Who are you?"

"Me? I'm naturally a poor person with the same illness as you. I don't know which cat's hair-spring last night. It screamed all night so that I couldn't close my eyes."

"Pfft!" The man was drinking tea, and when he heard this, he spit out all the tea.

Huo Qihan wiped the tea off his face with his hand, and sighed, "Dude, haven't you heard of a cat meowing-chun? Dare to ask your name."

The man smiled apologetically, and then said embarrassingly, "My name is Nan, oh, Lan Gongjian!"

"Another little sword."

Pfft, the poor Lan Gongjian also spewed out the second sip of tea just now, this time Huo Qihan quickly dodged it, and sighed: "Brother Lan, you are not feeling well today, frequent spraying of water is really inappropriate Mind and body."

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night. To tell you the truth, I ran away from home."

"runaway?"

"That's right, buddy, do you have a lot of silver on you? Lend me some. I escaped last night and forgot to bring any money."

How much it hurts to raise money as soon as we meet.

Looking at Lan Gongjian's pitiful eyes, Huo Qihan narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "Okay, but you have to do something for me, how about I give you a tael of silver?"

Just now he was worried about who to send the letter to Nan Gongling. After all, there was no guarantee that the people in his house would not tell the old man secretly, and he never wanted him to know about this matter.

Right now, Lan Gongjian is a good candidate, and he paid money for a relationship and made a friend, and he did something for him.And he doesn't look like a villain either.

So he took out the letter and gave it to Lan Gongjian: "You give the letter to the young master of the Nangong family for me, and the one or two silver will belong to you and you don't have to pay it back. How about it!"

"Is this for the Nangong family?" A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Lan Gong's sword eyes, then he stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at Huo Qihan suspiciously, saying: "Dare to ask, brother?"

"Meeting by chance, my name is just a false name, so call me Xiao Huo. I will come to this Zuiyuelou to drink tea every other day. If you want to find me, you can come anytime."

After speaking, he raised his hand to wipe off some tea stains on his face, and yawned comfortably.

"Xiao Xiaojian, I'm sleepy and I'm leaving first, see you tomorrow."

"You should still call me Brother Lan." The corners of Lan Gongjian's mouth twitched slightly, no matter how this little sword sounds, it has a cheap air.

"Okay, Xiao Lanlan, I'm leaving." Huo Qihan chuckled, yawned again, got up and left with big strides.

Lan Gongjian couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.

As soon as Huo Qihan returned to the Huo Mansion, he lay on his bed and slept soundly. When he woke up, he suddenly remembered the matter of letting Lan Gongjian bring the letter this morning. He secretly thought that something was wrong!

At that time, he was not clear-headed, but now he is very clear-headed, that Lan Gongjian and him only met once, why should he believe that he will do things for him.

And over there, under the eaves and walls of Nangong's house, a figure rustled open the letter, and read all the contents above verbatim.

Then one hand held the envelope so tightly that it was about to rot, and said through gritted teeth: "Master Huo is you, you dare to refuse to marry me with your elder brother, and you dare to slander me in the letter!"

Just as she was angry, a servant seemed to have noticed her. After yelling at someone, she hurriedly stuffed the letter into the envelope and threw it at the gate without answering, "A letter to Nan Gongling."

By the time the servant picked up the envelope, she had already disappeared.

When Nan Gongling read this letter, he was having a headache because of his sister Nan Gongjing running away from home. Although he had ordered someone to search secretly, there was still no news at all.

Huo Qihan's rejection letter made his mood even worse.

"Come on."

He called out, and a tall and thin man in black immediately pushed the door in and stood ten steps away from him respectfully.

"Feng Hai, do you still remember the Shanxi cloth merchant who came last month?"

"Master Hui still remembers."

"Well, that's good. You write a contact letter to inform the other party that I am willing to negotiate the price they mentioned last time, but there is a requirement that the supply cannot be delivered to his family within one year, otherwise there is no room for negotiation."

Feng Hai was taken aback. Last time, the fabrics brought by the cloth merchants in Shanxi were really first-rate. Not only were the colors gorgeous, but the silk materials used were all made of silk spun by carefully raised white silkworms. Moreover, it is soft and close to the body, and there will be no wrinkles after wearing it for a long time. However, the reserve price offered by the other party is really high.

No one in the entire Jiangcheng textile industry was willing to start. After inquiring, including the Huo family, they gave up after considering it.
