The return of the son-in-law

Huo Yu was trained by Guo Zhan'an after all. Although he was heartbroken, he wiped away his tears and forced himself to take care of Sun Lao's funeral.Wu Jia, Fuquan and the others knew that they couldn't persuade him, so they could only do as much as possible for Huo Yu and pay attention to Huo Yu's mental state, so that the old one would not collapse soon after his death, and let the young one collapse. Guo Zhan'an knew that they were the ones who were unlucky.

After the first seven days, Huo Yu fell seriously ill, and Wu Jia and others were extremely anxious, and they invited the best doctor from Yong'an Mansion to treat Huo Yu.

After the Langzhong made a careful diagnosis, he went outside and whispered to Wu Jia and the others: "Young master has been depressed for the past few days and overworked, so he fell down. I will prescribe some calming medicine here, and I will let you drink it at night. Next, get a good night's sleep. However, this young man must have suffered from wind and cold in his bones when he was a child. Although he has recuperated in recent years, his body is still weaker than his peers. He is usually no different from other people. But once you get sick, you will suffer more than others. You should persuade your young master more, as the saying goes, people cannot be resurrected after death, so it is best to get out as soon as possible."

Fuquan and the others agreed and paid a lot of money for the consultation. Wu Jia took the doctor's prescription and went to the pharmacy in Tonghua County to get the medicine in person, leaving Fuquan to take care of Huo Yu.

After Huo Yu woke up, he listened to the doctor's words conveyed by Fu Quan. He was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "I understand. I've worked hard for you these few days. Don't worry, I, I won't do this again."

In the next 40 days or so, Huo Yu did not stay up all night for mourning and sleepless nights - he was busy dealing with many trivial matters.

After Mr. Sun passed away, Wu Jia and others who stayed to take care of Mr. Sun naturally didn't have to stay in Tonghua County anymore. Whether they should all be taken to the northwest, or sent to Zhuangzi under the name of Guo Zhan'an, or returned to the Guo family in the capital, is a matter of course. It was the question before Huo Yu.

Some, like Wu Jia, really treated Huo Yu as the Second Young Master, and some still regarded Huo Yu as the bandit leader.The latter refused to accept Huo Yu, and clamored to immediately go to the northwest to join Guo Zhan'an. Among them, the one who shouted the loudest was Grandma Shen's grandson, Shen Fang.

Back then, Guo Zhan'an asked Shen Fang to be Huo Yu's personal servant, but Shen Fang didn't take Huo Yu seriously. Later, Guo Zhan'an temporarily stopped thinking about it and asked Granny Shen to teach Shen Fang the rules again, and wait until he learned the rules.

Opportunities in this world are always fleeting, although at that time Guo Zhanan wanted to wait for Shen Fang to learn the rules before putting him next to Huo Yu. The master and servant are about the same age, which can make Huo Yu more or less at ease.But later, Guo Zhanan went to the northwest within less than a year of being the county magistrate. Shen Fang hadn't learned the rules at that time, so Guo Zhanan stayed behind.When they arrived in the northwest, Jia Huan became the housekeeper of Guo's house, Fuquan followed Huo Yu, and gradually became Huo Yu's servant. Guo Zhan'an completely forgot about Shen Fang.

Shen Fang hated Huo Yu ever since he learned the rules from his grandmother again and felt that his face was dull.He has always been dissatisfied with Huo Yu. In his eyes, Huo Yu is nothing more than a bandit leader, but luckily, he was appreciated by Guo Zhan'an and became his young master's righteous brother.

Shen Fang firmly believes that dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the son of a mouse burrows in the ground.Don't talk about Guo Zhan'an's righteous brother, even if Huo Yu becomes the prince, he is still a bandit!

Granny Shen is getting old, she sees her grandson making such trouble, but she can't stop her, so she can only apologize to Huo Yu on Shen Fang's behalf.

Naturally, Huo Yu would not blame his grandma for his grandson's actions, so after a few words of persuasion, he let Granny Shen go down to rest.

Granny Shen is old and can't bear to travel long distances, and the weather in the northwest is bad.Huo Yu was considerate of her, so he put Granny Shen on the list to be sent back to Zhuangzi under Guo Zhanan's name for the elderly.As for Shen Fang, with such a temper, Huo Yu would certainly not let him go to the northwest to cause trouble for Guo Zhan'an. Just as Grandma Shen was worried about her grandson, Huo Yu conveniently included Shen Fang on the list.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fang was determined to go to Xuzhou, and when he knew that Huo Yu was going to send him to Zhuangzi, he quit immediately.Knowing the news in the middle of the night, wearing a coat, he wanted to rush into Huo Yu's room to find Huo Yu's theory.

Today happened to be the turn of Fuquan and another person to watch the night. Seeing Shen Fang approaching aggressively, he immediately blocked the door and scolded: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night if you don't sleep?"

Shen Fang said angrily: "Let that Huo get up! Why send me to Zhuangzi! I'm going to Xuzhou in the northwest to find the young master!"

Fuquan sneered: "You still want to go to Xuzhou because of your rules? Go back quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Not only did Shen Fang not go back, his mouth became more and more irresponsible: "Isn't it just a rabbit who was born as a bandit, lucky enough to be spotted by the young master. Hehe, seeing that he is young, he has a lot of thoughts, so he must stop me." Did you let me go to Xuzhou because you were afraid of falling out of favor? It's a pity, I'm not him, I'm not shameless enough to get together with a man!"

Fuquan was furious: "You talk about master behind your back, you don't want to live, do you? Tie him up!"

The people around Fuquan heard this and rushed up to grab Shen Fang.Shen Fang was not willing to catch him without a fight, relying on his agility to fight this man.

Fu Quan was about to copy someone, when the door opened suddenly, Huo Yu came out from inside and asked, "What's wrong?"

Fuquan quickly said: "Shen Fang has lost his mind and gone crazy. Don't worry, young master, he will be sent to a remote village tomorrow."

At this time, Shen Fang bit the hand of his captor, and when the man let go of the pain, he broke free and yelled at Huo Yu: "I'm not crazy! I just want to expose you, the rabbit Relying on the fact that the young master is not in Tonghua County, he acts as a domineering power, and even dismisses his servant without telling the young master!"

Fuquan heard this, and quickly said to Huo Yu: "Second Young Master, don't pay attention to him, this man is crazy! It's windy at night, Young Master, hurry up and go back to the house, I'll take care of it here, and I promise not to let Shen Fang disturb Second Young Master again. .”

Huo Yu shook his head and said, "Put him in the woodshed and don't touch him. I'll take care of it tomorrow."

Fuquan took the order, first sent Huo Yu back to the house to rest, and then called someone to arrest Shen Fang and lock him in the woodshed.

Early the next morning, everyone was called together.

I saw Huo Yuduan sitting on a teacher's chair, with Fuquan and Wu Jia standing on the left and right, with a rare face on the floor, looking at everyone expressionlessly.

"I know that some of you disapprove of me, but I am the brother-in-law recognized by Guo Zhan'an, the eldest son of the Guo family. If you don't respect me, you just don't respect my brother."

The people below all lowered their heads, looking at their own toes, for fear of raising their heads and meeting Huo Yu's gaze.A voice came out, full of disdain: "A fox pretends to be a tiger."

No one else in the yard spoke, so although the voice was soft, everyone present could hear it clearly.

Huo Yu was not annoyed, and continued: "Whether it's a fox pretending to be a tiger, or showing off his might, since I am the brother-in-law recognized by my brother, and I am the second young master in your mouth, you have to listen to what I say. I have where you are going. Arrangement, if you are still dissatisfied, shut up and don't let me hear it. Otherwise, redeem your own prostitution contract, so as not to upset me."

Everyone exchanged glances quickly, and finally no one spoke.

When the crowd dispersed, Wu Jia said with a smile, "I've never seen Second Young Master like this before."

Huo Yu returned to his usual appearance, pursed his lips, and said embarrassingly: "I was recognized by my brother. It doesn't matter if they don't accept me, but you can't speak ill of my brother."

Fuquan thought of Shen Fang's title of "Master Rabbit" last night, and felt something, and couldn't help but glanced at Wu Jia—many people in the Guo Mansion in Xuzhou knew the relationship between Guo Zhan'an and Huo Yu. When I went to the Northwest, I had to know sooner or later, but I didn't know what attitude Wu Jia would have at that time.

But after thinking about it, Fuquan secretly laughed at himself for worrying too much - they are all servants, how can they talk about their master's affairs?Could it be that the two young masters will change because of their thoughts?

No matter what Fuquan thought, Huo Yu wrote a letter afterwards, telling Guo Zhanan the whole matter.

In less than a month, Huo Yu received a reply letter from Guo Zhanan.In his letter, Guo Zhan'an clearly and concisely stated that Huo Yu had full control over where the servants of the Guo family in Tonghua County would go.

Huo Yu read this letter back and forth no less than ten times, and his heart that had been icy because of the death of Elder Sun warmed up again.

In case something happened to Shen Fang again, Huo Yu asked Wu Jia to take Granny Shen, Shen Fang and others back to a village on the outskirts of the capital, and asked Wu Jia to tell the strong men on the village to keep an eye on Shen Fang so that they would not Get into trouble again.

As for the rest, none of them wanted to go back to the Guo Mansion in the capital, so they all begged Huo Yu to let him take them to Xuzhou.

Huo Yu saw that these people were capable and their mouths were firm, so after discussing with Fuquan for a while, they all agreed.

After July [-]th, Huo Yu entrusted Li Hu, a hunter in Tonghua County, to pay homage to Huo Dashan and Elder Sun's graves every year for him, and the house was also handed over to Li Hu to take care of.As for the tablet, Huo Dashan has been a bandit all his life, and no one knows where his hometown is and whether there is an ancestral hall; and Mr. Sun was snatched back to the village by the people in Tiger Village. experience no one knows.

Huo Yu simply held the tablets of the two, Fuquan and Wu Jia drove, and led the crowd all the way to Xuzhou.

When Guo Zhan came back from Sanya, Jia Welcomed him up and said, "Young master, the second young master is back and just fell asleep."

Guo Zhan'an was overjoyed, he didn't care about other things, and strode towards the backyard.

Jia Huan followed closely, and said, "Second Young Master brought over the tablets of Old Sun and his father, and temporarily put them in the empty room. Do you have any arrangements, Young Master?"

Guo Zhan'an was taken aback, stopped his feet, and said, "He just fell asleep, so I'll go to pay homage to Elder Sun first."

Jia Huan then led Guo Zhanan to the room where the tablet was placed, and said on the way: "Master, Fuquan said that he has something important to tell the young master, when does the young master plan to see him?"

Guo Zhan'an glanced at Jia Huan and said, "Next time, make it clear once you speak. You ask Fuquan to wait for me. I will look for him after I worship."

Jia Huan took the order and went.

Guo Zhanan entered the room, and saw two tablets on the table, and tributes were placed in front of the tablets.

Guo Zhan'an took the incense, lit a candle, bowed three times to the memorial tablet, and said, "Don't worry, both of you, as long as I, Guo Zhan'an, will never let Yu'er be bullied."

He is usually eloquent, but now he has searched his stomach and doesn't know what to say. He just keeps repeating these few words, and he keeps making sure that he will protect Huo Yu.

When Guo Zhanan inserted the three sticks of incense, he was relieved to see that the incense was neither extinguished nor poured down, and he bowed to the memorial tablet again: "Thank you both for your success."

When Guo Zhanan came out, Fuquan was already waiting.Guo Zhanan took him to the study, sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Fuquan didn't dare to hide it, and quickly said: "When Mr. Sun was alive, he told the second young master that the second young master was picked up by Huo Dashan, and that Huo Dashan was not the second young master's biological father."

Guo Zhanan's heart tightened: "Did you hear me right?"

Fuquan shook his head and said, "I was staying outside all the time, but suddenly I heard the sound of something breaking inside, so I hurried in to check, and found that it was the second young master who broke the bowl. I saw that the second young master was out of his mind, and I was afraid that the second young master would get hurt, so I went in Hurry up and clean up the broken bowls, only then did I hear Elder Sun say that the second young master was picked up by Huo Dashan."

Guo Zhanan was in a daze, and asked again: "Who else heard it except you?"

Fuquan thought for a while and said, "At that time, there were only Elder Sun, the second young master and me in the room, and there was no one else, and I didn't dare to tell anyone else."

Guo Zhan'an nodded and said, "I see, you can step back."

He never expected that Huo Yu would know the secret he had been keeping all along.

Want to tell Huo Yu the truth?

Just when Guo Zhanan was hesitating, a young man came over to ask him to see him: "Young master, the second young master has woken up."

Guo Zhanan made up his mind and got up to find Huo Yu.

Huo Yu just woke up, and his messy hair was poking Guo Zhanan's heart.The latter waved his hand, signaling for the others to back down, while he walked behind Huo Yu and tied Huo Yu's hair himself.

"Yu'er, I heard," Guo Zhanan said while tidying up Huo Yu's hair, "You, do you want to find your biological parents?"

After thinking twice, he still decided to give Huo Yu the right to choose.

Huo Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a self-deprecating smile: "Brother heard about it, yes, Fuquan heard it, how could my brother not know?"

Guo Zhan'an noticed that Huo Yu's tone was wrong, reached out and hugged Huo Yu into his arms from behind, bent down, put his head on Huo Yu's cheek, and said, "Are you angry?"

"How could you be angry with my brother?" Huo Yu said, "I, I don't know. I have been thinking every day for more than 40 days, wondering why they abandoned me? Was it because they were hunted down, or It’s because my family suffered a disaster and I can’t go on. Why don’t I want to find my biological parents? But I’m afraid, if I find them, if they are still alive, why don’t they come to me? They don’t want me So I thought, let’s just pretend that they are all dead. In this way, I can convince myself that they didn’t want me on purpose. Brother, do you think I’m bad?”

At the end of Huo Yu's speech, he was already sobbing.Guo Zhan'an felt that there were cold tears running down his cheeks, it was painful and hot, and he was very aggrieved.

He could only hug Huo Yu tightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm still here, and I'm still here. Let's not look for them, okay? From now on, the two of us will live a good life."

Huo Yu turned around, buried his head in Guo Zhan'an's neck, and burrowed into Guo Zhan'an's arms desperately, like a wounded little animal, no matter what Guo Zhan'an said, he didn't answer, just kept crying.

The sadness, grievance, hesitation, and fear of the past few days all vented at this moment.
