[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Back at Xue's house, Luo Chun saw that Huo Biaotou and his son Huo Qing, whom they had met at a tea stand outside the city before entering the city, appeared at Xue's house, sitting in the living room of Xue's house, with Jia Lian and Xue Aunt accompanied.It's just that the atmosphere seemed very awkward. Whether it was the Huo family's father and son, Jia Lian and Aunt Xue, after seeing Liu Xianglian, they all breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him with shining eyes, full of gratitude, as if he was helping someone in need. The great savior in general.

When Luochun listened to the conversation between Liu Xianglian and Huo's father and son, she immediately understood why Jia Lian and Aunt Xue showed such affection.It's not that these two don't know how to accompany guests, it's just that Boss Huo and Huo Qing are people in the market, and Jia Lian and Aunt Xue have never dealt with such people.

Although the Jia family is not rich enough compared to those long-standing families, Jia Lian's generation has been rich for four generations. Not to mention Jia Lian's previous social circle, but now, although the Jia family is in decline, it is under the operation of Luochun. He still has a bit of background, and there is nothing wrong with being a country rich man.It is said that Jia Lian is not expected to study, but as the eldest son of the Houmen family, he has also been able to read and write. Luochun guessed that his education level and the influence of "a woman without talent is virtue", so she never made her take it seriously. Reading is just a matter of knowing a few words, which is similar to Li Wan who wants to be educated by spinning girls.His level of education is naturally nothing in the eyes of scholars, but it is much better than the Huo family's father and son who can't read a few characters, and their vision is eighteen blocks away from them.So even though Jia Lian has always been known as a good opportunity to change in the world and talk well, the Huo family and his life are too far away, and they are honest people, so the two sides can't talk at all.

Aunt Xue is a housewife. Even though the Xue family has fallen into this field, she still sticks to the deep-rooted education she has received since she was a child. At most, they communicate with the family servants or the shopkeepers of the family business through the screen.It's just that those people, even those who work for her, have status outside. She has never dealt with real "mud-legged people" like the Huo family, let alone getting acquainted. There will be no contact.If she saw this kind of person before, Aunt Xue would not even raise her eyelids, she would not catch her eyes at all, but now she is begging the other person, even if Aunt Xue can accept this reversal of identity, but you let her be A noble lady from a wealthy family is chatting with Shengdou Xiaomin outside, or two big men, what do you want her to chat with them?

Although Liu Xianglian was born in an aristocratic family, but because of the early failure of his family business, the death of his parents, and his love of running around the world, he made friends with many people from different religions, including Yangchun Baixue and Xialiba people. Therefore, after Liu Xianglian came back, Soon the atmosphere in the room became warmer.According to the rules, as a girl who has not left the cabinet, Luochun should avoid it for a while, but the Huo family and his son obviously don't pay attention to this, and she doesn't want to hide in the house, so she just sat aside and listened to their conversation. It caused Aunt Xue and Jia Lian to look at her frequently.

Although Aunt Xue entrusted Jia Lian with her family's affairs, Jia Lian's surname was Jia after all, not Xue, and she was an outsider after all. On some occasions, Xue's family had to come forward, such as now, so under similar circumstances, no man was at home. Even if Aunt Xue is a woman or a widow in the current Xue family, she can only ignore the rules and act as a representative.Of course, even if Aunt Xue wanted to talk about the rules with Huo's father and son, she wouldn't be able to talk about the rules.From Aunt Xue's point of view, there was nothing she could do about it, but Luochun was unseemly. She wanted to say something to Luochun, but she swallowed it when it reached her lips.It's not that she doesn't want to, but through the time when their family lived in Rongguo Mansion, she learned that Luochun is a very righteous person, and even Jia's mother can't help her, so even if she said it, Luochun might not be able to sell her. her account.If she was really pushed back by Luochun, she would be ashamed.Besides, there is also Jia Lian here, that is Luochun's elder brother, they are a family, since he didn't say anything, and he doesn't feel ashamed, why should she talk so much, so Aunt Xue simply shut up. Mouth.

In fact, Aunt Xue was wrong. It's not that Jia Lian didn't want to take care of it, but he was powerless and couldn't do it at all.It turned out that Jia Lian once heard that "Luochun can be half of Mrs. Xing's master" when he was in the mansion, but in Jia Lian's view, where is half of the master, Luochun can do what he says, but whatever Luochun says, Mrs. Xing obeyed.If he was in Jia's mansion, even though Mrs. Xing doted on Luochun, Jia Lian could still say a few words about Luochun as his elder brother.Now that there is no title, the family has become ordinary people and moved to the countryside, relying on Mrs. Xing for a living.She has a short mouth, and Mrs. Xing holds Luochun in her palm. Mrs. Xing is very obedient to her.According to the rules, Luochun shouldn't have followed Liu Xianglian to Xue's house, even if Mrs. Zheng was with her, but he just came here in such a pretentious manner.Of course Jia Lian knew that it was wrong for Madam Xing to indulge Luochun like this, but what could he say, the key was that someone would listen to what he said.

Furthermore, through the fact that Mrs. Xing asked Luo Chun to come out with Liu Xianglian, he could see that Mrs. Xing had chosen Liu Xianglian as her son-in-law.After all, the purpose of teaching girls to learn manners is to give them a good marriage.Liu Xianglian's sister-in-law would not be considered a good marriage if the Rongguo Mansion was still there, but judging from the current situation of the Jia family, it is still very good.After dealing with Liu Xianglian for so many days, Jia Lian also has a little understanding of Liu Xianglian's personality. He is an informal person.He didn't have any objection to Luochun's various unruly actions, but he agreed with her. Since his future husband has no objection, why should he be troublesome, so he took a few glances at Luochun and saw that she was unconscious, so Jia Lian simply opened her eyes. Turn one eye and close the other, let Luochun go like this, no matter what.

Just as the group of people was chatting lively led by Liu Xianglian, Baochai walked in from the outside.Huo Qing, who was drinking water with a teacup in his hand, straightened his eyes when he saw Baochai who couldn't hide his national beauty even though he was wearing a Jingchai sarong, and his mind was in a trance.The teacup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. The crisp sound not only brought Huo Qing back to his senses, but also attracted everyone's attention to him.Under everyone's gaze, Huo Qing's face turned red all of a sudden, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He wanted to say something but he groaned for a long time and finally couldn't say anything.

Baochai entered the house and greeted Aunt Xue, and under Jia Lian's introduction, met the Huo family and his son.When Huo Qing was introduced, Baochai saluted him graciously, while Huo Qing was so nervous that cold sweat broke out on his head, and he wanted to reach out to pull Baochai, but immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurried Stretching out his hand back, the whole person became one hand and one foot.If Huo Qing was so dumbfounded by looking at Baochai that he dropped his teacup just now, and everyone thought he was careless because he didn't pay attention beforehand, then his behavior now made everyone understand the reason.Immediately, Aunt Xue's eyes on Huo Qing became meaningful, while Jia Lian and Luo Chun had playful expressions on their faces, thinking it was very funny.The person involved, Baochai, had a calm face as if the matter had nothing to do with him. After seeing the Huo family and his son, he turned around and left with excuses.Huo Qing stretched his neck and stared at the door dazedly. He didn't even respond to Liu Xianglian talking to him. It was because his father couldn't see it and pulled him hard to call his soul back.It's just that although the person is here, his heart flies away with Baochai's departure, and he always looks out of his mind during the chat afterwards.

Luo Chun listened for a while, feeling bored, and walked out.When she got outside the house, she looked up at the sun, and saw that it was almost noon, because the Huo family and his son presumably wanted to save food.It would be a bit difficult for Baochai to prepare meals for a total of nine people, so Luochun went to the kitchen to help.After entering the kitchen, I found that Baochai had already bought the food. This time it was different from the simple food Liu Xianglian and the others had at Xue’s house. I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, smiled, then rolled up my sleeves to help pack up the things.

Although Luochun's expression changed slightly, Baochai still noticed it.She sighed and said: "Sixth sister, please forgive me, the family is difficult, you and the second brother Lian are not outsiders, so you didn't slap your face swollen to pretend to be fat, because it is simple. Mr. Huo and the others are guests, and If it is too shabby to keep such a meal, it means that we, the hosts, have not entertained well."

After hearing Baochai's explanation, the corner of Luochun's mouth twitched. What does this mean? She and Jia Lian are not outsiders, so she can understand why Liu Xianglian is not an outsider?Moreover, he still helps your Xue family to handle affairs, and even the Huo family father and son were invited by him. If this is the case, shouldn't it be more gracious to entertain you?Is it because of the difference between one meal and many meals? ... Although Luochun was dissatisfied, she couldn't say some things. After all, she had nothing to do with Liu Xianglian, so she couldn't complain about him, so she said lightly: "I understand." If she didn't speak again, Just keep your head down and work.

After the cold dishes were ready, Aunt Xue and Jia Lian invited the Huo family father and son to the table, together with Liu Xianglian, the five of them began to eat.Although it is "eating without talking", the people still have a habit, that is, they like to talk about things at the wine table, so when Luochun was serving the dishes, he heard Liu Xianglian introduce him, asking the Huo family and his son to escort them and protect them from exile. Xue Pan is safe and escorts Aunt Xue and Baochai along the way.

After Huo Qing heard this, he couldn't wait to agree. As soon as he uttered the word "Okay...", he was interrupted by the head of the escort. This business is not easy to do." He sighed and said, "It's not like you don't know about the tricky Liu Erye about exile, we are darts, and we pay attention to making money through harmony, whether it's on the road or on the official side. , I don’t want to offend. If we take this escort, it’s tantamount to snatching food from someone’s mouth. Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue are both women, and they are escorted to the place of exile. There are no men in the house, so they can only be escorted by female bodyguards. You know, Liu Erye, that this bowl of rice is different from others, so there are very few female bodyguards who eat this bowl. A female bodyguard, I really can't move around."

Liu Xianglian smiled wryly after hearing what Chief Huo said, and he also knew that this matter was difficult to handle.This kind of business is the last thing the Escort wants to accept, because not only may it offend the officials, but it is also difficult to ask for a price.Because no one can tell how much it will cost to bribe the official people.Escorts collect money in advance, and here, apart from the place of departure, there are also officials who got involved along the way and those officials in the exile. No one can guess how big these people's appetites are. Not to mention the hard work, it is also possible to lose money.Therefore, unless it is a big bodyguard agency that is very popular in the official face, it is not easy to accept such a transaction, because it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also uncertain about whether it will make money, it is really not worth it.As for the female bodyguard, what Huo Boss said was true, because of the restrictions imposed on women by the world, so even if women from poor families show their faces in order to make a living, there are still only a handful of women who run as bodyguards in all over the world.But the more scarce it is, the more prosperous the business is, so there are often shortages of manpower.In this case, the Escorts naturally focus on the easy and lucrative darts, such as escorting people on long journeys, which are time-consuming and low-earning darts for the Escort, and they are rarely picked up.

Although Liu Xianglian doesn't work as an escort, she still knows a thing or two about this business, so she said: "I also know that it's embarrassing for Huo Escort, but regarding Mr. Xue's official matters, here we are Everything has been arranged, and we have also prepared some money for the next trip, but we don't know if it will be enough. Therefore, your bodyguard agency only needs to ensure Mr. Xue's personal safety, and there is no other expenses. As for Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue, I I thought you guys were going to send a batch of medicinal materials to the northwest, so let Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue take a ride, don't worry, even so, the money will definitely not be missing from you..."

"Second Master Liu, it's not about money. It's not that I'm trying to shirk, this ride is not so easy to ride. We are all big men in this line of work, and Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue are women. They can't always hide behind Can’t you get in the car? The old man is telling the truth, don’t be surprised, Miss Xue has a good appearance, if she follows a group of us big men on the road, she will definitely cause trouble.” If the escort only needs to guarantee Xue Pan’s personal safety It's all right, Huo Escort thinks it can be considered.But Liu Xianglian's idea of ​​letting Xue's mother and daughter have a free ride is not sensitive.Just kidding, a group of big men haven't smelled "meat" for several months, Aunt Xue is a half-aged lady with a charm, which is enough to seduce people, plus Baochai, who is as beautiful as a flower and jade, makes the two of them Putting it on their lips, isn't this tempting to commit a crime?Chief Huo didn't dare to take the risk, but he knew that the moral integrity of his group was not very high. What should I do if something happens?

After Luochun sent the dishes to the table and set them up, he withdrew. He didn't hear what Liu Xianglian, Aunt Xue and Jia Lian said to Huo Biaotou.All she knew was that when Baochai finished cooking a piece of braised pork and put it out, she heard Aunt Xue ask Huo Qing if she was married yet, and then she asked Huo Escort that she would betroth Baochai to Huo Qing. green.Hearing this suggestion, Luo Chun's feet became unsteady, and he almost threw the plate in his hand. What happened in such a short time, why such a magical turning point?

To be honest, when Huo Qing looked stupid after Baochai showed up, Luochun also saw it at that time, and thought it was very funny, although she didn't have any thoughts of "crazy want to eat swan meat", But she didn't connect the two together.The Xue family is already like this now, and they can't afford to pay attention to status and family status, so there is not a big difference between these two people, it's just like a bird flying in the sky and a fish swimming in the water, they are not in the same way at all.But now...

Seeing Aunt Xue say that she would betroth Baochai to Huo Qing, Huo Qing was ecstatic, and immediately looked at his father eagerly. Although Huo Biaotou ignored the white eyebrows and red eyes of his son next to him, he didn't agree, but twisted his jaw. Xia's short beard said nothing, but Luo Chun could see the movement in his eyes.Seeing that Aunt Xue asked Jia Lian to invite a matchmaker, find a pen and paper, and write a marriage letter, as if she wanted to settle the marriage immediately, Luochun hurriedly put the plate in her hand on the mat, and rushed to the kitchen to report to Baochai went.
