Hu Xiaotian took three steps at a time, came to Hu Tianxiong, grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Brother Hu, why are you here?" Hu Tianxiong had a transcendent status among the many servants of the Hu family, and was deeply favored by Hu Buwei, so
He was selected as a personal bodyguard, and all important matters would always be entrusted to him. Even so, his status was still that of a servant. Hu Xiaotian called him Brother Hu, which obviously gave him enough face. Hu Tianxiong heard this, and felt warm in his heart.
move.
Hu Tianxiong actually arrived in Xichuan earlier than Hu Xiaotian, because the news about Hu Xiaotian's robbery of Tang Qingxuan spread all over the city. Hu Buwei was worried that the rumors would affect the marriage relationship between the Hu family and the Li family, so he specially wrote a letter and asked Hu Tianxiong to rush to Xichuan day and night.
He met Li Tianheng, the founding father of Xichuan, and told the details of the matter in detail. This shows that Hu Buwei attaches great importance to this marriage. After Hu Tianxiong finished doing things in Xichuan, he wanted to return to the capital, but he received another message from Hu Buwei.
Not because of the news there, let him go to Qingyun County to see the situation after Hu Xiaotian took office.
When Hu Xiaotian heard what Hu Tianxiong said, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. It seemed that his father was still worried about him.
Liang Dazhuang also stood aside happily. Hu Xiaotian said: "Dazhuang, don't just stand there stupidly. Hurry up and book a seat at Hongyan Tower. Let's have a good drink at noon."
"Okay!" Liang Dazhuang hurried out.
Hu Xiaotian took Hu Tianxiong's arm and asked him to sit down in the yard. Although the yard was not big, it was neatly kept. Before Hu Xiaotian came back, Hu Tianxiong had already learned from Liang Dazhuang about the young master's tortuous journey from the capital to Qingyun. Liang Dazhuang
Naturally, he exaggerated a little more, but the matter was basically explained. Hu Tianxiong was also quite surprised at the young master's adaptability. After all, the previous sixteen years of stupid experience had left a deep impression on the people in the Hu family.
, Hu Tianxiong still can't fully accept how a fool suddenly turned into a very smart person.
Hu Tianxiong said: "Master, when I went to Xizhou this time, my father-in-law asked about you many times."
Hu Xiaotian had a headache when he heard about this. Li Tianheng's daughter is ugly and paralyzed. With a son-in-law like him, he has found a treasure. If he knew that he had arrived in Qingyun, wouldn't it be troublesome to see such a good son-in-law?
Maybe he would be kidnapped soon and have a bridal chamber with his daughter. He whispered: "Does he know that I'm here in Qingyun?"
Hu Tianxiong shook his head and said: "My master has specifically told me that this matter must be hidden from him. Don't worry, young master. My in-laws are in Xizhou, so why would they care about Qingyun's affairs?"
Hu Xiaotian also thinks what he said makes sense. Xichuan is a vast land with abundant resources and fertile soil.
It's a small town in the mountainous area, not to mention that my father had specially greeted the officials and concealed his identity information. It was expected that Li Tianheng would not know about this.
Hu Tianxiong said: "I have learned a lot from my trip to Xizhou this time. My father-in-law is really a hero of the generation. He has many powerful generals and many generals. The people of Xichuan live and work in peace and contentment. When I mention Mr. Li, everyone praises him."
Hu Xiaotian said in his heart that if he is so awesome and cool, he will do nothing to me? I want to marry his daughter, not him. Besides, he is a feudal official, and my father is not bad either. Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, Minister of Finance of Dakang
, the highest official in charge of Dakang’s money and food, how can I compare to his daughter in terms of my background? Hu Tianxiong said for a long time that there was nothing he cared about. He coughed, interrupted Hu Tianxiong, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing this time?"
Have you ever met Miss Li’s family when you went to Xizhou?”
Hu Tianxiong said with a smile: "Master, Miss Li family is raised in a boudoir, how can I, a servant, have the opportunity to meet her? But this time I was lucky enough to meet Li Honghan, the son of Li family in Xizhou. He is a heroic figure with great appearance and martial arts skills.
He is outstanding in intelligence and resourcefulness. He is one of the best generals among the young generation of Dakang."
Hu Xiaotian sneered. I have seen very few heroes and good men. On the contrary, I have seen heroes and bastards everywhere. If he hadn’t come to this world by mistake, Hu Buwei’s son would have become demented.
of a lifetime.
It was no accident that Hu Tianxiong was able to gain Hu Buwei's trust. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, but he was also good at observing people's emotions. He somewhat knew where the young master's heart was. He whispered: "Master, I don't think the rumors may be credible. Even Miss Li's family."
She is not a peerless beauty, but her appearance is not as bad as the legend says."
Hu Xiaotian said coldly: "You haven't seen it, how can you know?"
Hu Tianxiong said: "I think Mr. Li's appearance is handsome, and his sister shouldn't be much different."
Hu Xiaotian sighed and said: "Perhaps she should still have some beauty, but it's a pity that Li Wuyou got smallpox when he was young, and his face was full of pockmarks. When he was ten years old, he got a sudden illness and his legs were paralyzed. Such a woman
Do you want me to be your wife?"
Hu Tianzhong said yes, but only a fool would not want it. If he became the son-in-law of the founding father of Xichuan, it would be like jumping over the dragon's gate. Not to mention that his daughter was extremely ugly. Even if she was old and stupid, it would not matter. He was thinking about it in his heart, but
He noticed that Hu Xiaotian was looking at him with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he could see through his mind.
Hu Tianxiong's old face heated up. The young master's vision is really bad. He actually has a bit of a master's demeanor. I'm afraid it's not easy to hide anything from him. It's true that a tiger father has no son. From what he saw before to what Liang Dazhuang described just now
If all those things are true, this young master's skill and scheming can be considered outstanding among the younger generation. Hu Tianxiong said: "Young master, you really killed me. What kind of status is Miss Li's family? Naturally, she is as good as the young master."
match."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You scold me, so I am suitable to find an ugly and paralyzed woman as my wife?"
Hu Tianxiong said: "Young master, in fact, you have to think on the bright side in everything. With your status, you are destined to have three wives and four concubines. From ancient times to the present, you have been paying attention to the orders of your parents and the words of matchmakers. You better not go against the wishes of the first wife.
From now on, it’s not up to you to take concubines?”
Hu Xiaotian shook his head. He didn't expect that Hu Tianxiong had so many tricks. He sighed and said: "I am an upright person. I would rather be broken into pieces than be ruined."
Hu Tianxiong advised: "Master, you'd better be more considerate of my difficulties."
Hu Xiaotian said: "He made the decision to marry the Li family not for political gain. I understand it well even if you don't tell me."
It was not convenient for Hu Tianxiong to say anything, so he changed the subject and said: "Master, I remembered something. This time, my father-in-law asked me to bring you a gift."
Hu Xiaotian was curious when he heard that he had received a gift. He followed Hu Tianxiong to the room. Hu Tianxiong opened his bag and took out a dagger, a black shark skin sheath, an ebony and silver pick, and an ivory handle. At first glance, the appearance was not unusual, but
Pulling out the dagger, a chilling air spread out. The sharp light shone on him, making Hu Xiaotian blink his eyes subconsciously. He held the dagger in his hand and lightly planted it towards the chicken wing wood table below. The sharp blade seemed like
It penetrated the table without any hindrance. Even if Hu Xiaotian had no knowledge of weapons, he knew that this dagger was definitely a rare weapon, and it was perfect for self-defense. He hung the dagger on his waist happily. It seemed that this man
In the future, my father-in-law has already begun to invest emotionally in himself. He is really generous with his actions, sugar-coated bullets. I will peel off the sugar-coating for you and hit you back with the sugar-coated bullets.
His eyes fell on the scroll beside him: "What is this?"
Hu Tianxiong said: "A piece of writing given to me by Mr. Li."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Open it and take a look."
Hu Tianxiong slowly unfolded the calligraphy, while Hu Xiaotian didn't look at it. He was stunned when he saw it, but saw that it said - The two crossings at the head of the South Bridge are like shuttles, weaving the beautiful scenery across the river. The tower at the end of the west bank is like a pen,
Write articles directly from heaven.
This couplet was the first couplet written by the old fisherman he met when he first came to Qingyun. He responded to the following couplet and used this couplet to impress the old fisherman so that he could cross the river for free. Hu Xiaotian stared at this couplet dumbfounded, his spine
There was already a lot of cold sweat on his face. He originally thought that few people would know that he had come to the southwest border, but when he saw this couplet, he immediately understood that Li Tianheng had already known his movements very well. There must be an extremely close relationship between the old fisherman and Li Tianheng.
Because of the relationship, he waited by the Tongji River in advance, and then he came up with this couplet. At that time, Hu Xiaotian wondered why a rural fisherman could come up with such an exquisite couplet. Only now did he know the answer. The old fisherman was Li Tianheng's person.
.
Hu Tianxiong also noticed Hu Xiaotian's shocked expression. He didn't know the reason and whispered: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Only then did Hu Xiaotian come back to his senses and sighed: "The calligraphy is good, but the couplet is even better!" This guy was just praising himself. Speaking of the calligraphy on the couplet, the dragons and phoenixes were dancing, the luan and the phoenix were floating, which would have been replaced by the past era.
It is definitely at the level of calligraphy masters. Hu Xiaotian is not good at soft-pen calligraphy, but his hard-pen calligraphy is so-so. By analogy, he can still tell the quality of calligraphy. This future father-in-law is really talented.
Hu Xiaotian didn't know whether his father had informed Li Tianheng in advance about his coming to Qingyun, or whether Li Tianheng had found out by himself. If it was the latter, this future father-in-law should really not be underestimated, but he didn't know that he was on the couplet
Did the talent shown impress the old father-in-law? On second thought, even if Li Tianheng knew, it wouldn't be a bad thing. As his future father-in-law, it was impossible for him not to support him, which meant that whether he was in Qingyun
No matter how big a mistake he makes, someone will clean it up for him. Can he act more unscrupulously in the future?
