Chapter 114 The Drink of the Long Night (Part 2)(2/2)
So Marshal Huo was born as a scholar?
People don’t feel relaxed, but they are even more nervous.
The reckless man who is happy and angry is terrible, and the cunning scholar is even more unsure.
Huo Bao was just coming out to hold a scene, his expression was faint. When they saw each other's courtesy, they asked people to bring them in.
When Huo Bao saw the familiar face, his expression calmed down.
The Guo family has arrived.
Manager Guo held Mr. Guo in front, while Master Guo San took his nephew behind.
Huo Bao nodded to Manager Guo, then looked at Mr. Guo.
His temples are dyed white and there are two old spots on his forehead. This is Dr. Bao’s cousin. This is the correct way for the elderly in sixties to open it.
Mr. Guo said respectfully: "The little old man has seen the young marshal!"
"The elders don't have to be too polite!"
Huo Bao thought of this title in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, so he helped him with a weak hand.
At this moment, the Bao family's carriage also arrived.
Dr. Bao got off the car, his eyes were red and his eyelids were drooping and his spirits were exhausted.
He was surrounded by his eldest son Bao Baiying, eldest grandson Bao Yuan, and second grandson Bao Xiaoer.
Seeing that Huo Bao was personally welcomed, Bao Baiying quickly whispered: "Dad, Master Xiao Bao is here..."
Dr. Bao also saw it and did not dare to delay, so he quickly accelerated his pace.
"Old Bao, Doctor Bao..."
Huo Bao had seen them, and he greeted them with a smile on his face.
Um?
Everyone looked at the Bao family father and son.
This is not familiar with it!
Go, the two of the Bao family are hiding their own personalities!
Even Mr. Guo, who is a good-tempered man, was secretly lucky when he looked at his cousin.
Only Mr. Guo San, who saw that the Bao family had only the first lineage of Changfang, and no one of the second houses was seen, could not tell what it felt.
Although Mr. Bao is still his brother-in-law and the child of the second wife of the Bao family is still his nephew, Mr. Guo still can't stand his brother-in-law's selfish moral character of hiding when encountering problems.
Dr. Bao was flattered and became more respectful: "I have met you..."
After all, I don’t dare to say his name directly.
Huo Bao personally helped him up and said, "None of them are outsiders, so you have to be polite."
Dr. Bao was almost falling apart, and sweat came out on his forehead.
Why aren't you an outsider?
When did you become an "insider"?
Dr. Bao looked at his son.
Bao Baiying had no expression.
He was a job in the state yamen, and his father was a subordinate family, so he could barely be considered his own.
Everyone looked at the Bao family with resentment.
It turns out that the Bao family has already voted for the new marshal!
Eat alone and don’t be afraid of choking!
Eight merchants have arrived, and twenty gentry families have begun to arrive one after another.
The seven or eight families that came first had their families and children who worked as minor officials in the prefecture yamen.
Now that the new marshal does not need to win over them, they also have the mark of "reverseness" on them. Unless they are cruelly removed from the children and grandchildren involved, that is just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
These people accepted their fate and were very respectful to Huo Bao, the young master of Chuzhou.
After seeing this, the other gentry despised them in their hearts, but they were frightened by the storm of the past two days and did not dare to appear at this time. They had to pinch their noses and lean down and make small.
Huo Bao saw the reactions of each family and had a small notebook in his heart.
Those who are really used, those who have to be looked at again, those who have no obedience are classified.
...
Chinese people talk about their identities everywhere, and the more important the family, the more they play, the more they play.
Among the gentry in Chuzhou, two families were the leader.
One family's surname is Song, and the head of the family, Mr. Song, was Xiao Jiuqing, who just retired last year and returned to his hometown to retire; the other family's surname is Wu, and Mr. Wu is just a juren, but his eldest son was a Jinshi and is now in the prefect of Hunan.
Mr. Song and Mr. Wu became the last two guests.
The two are about the same age, both of them are sixty years old.
One is a senior official who retired from the third rank, and the other is a senior official named Zhongshun doctor.
If Chuzhou has not changed, these two people will come to the prefecture yard in person and the prefect will also welcome him.
But now half of the young man stood at the door, and he didn't look different when he saw the two of them.
The two old men looked ordinary, and the children and grandchildren following behind were different.
The Song family’s children and grandchildren are all fine, but the Wu family’s faces are drooping.
Too sir!
Huo Bao looked at the two families and was surprised.
Mr. Wu, an old juren who was awarded the title of the title, actually calmly joined Xiao Jiuqing in resignation. Isn’t it said that scholars are the most rules?
However, this old man Song looked calm and composed, with a bit of temperament.
When the two of them approached their house, Mr. Wu's eyes fell on Huo Bao's mace bag, and his brows frowned slightly, obviously not happy with his inappropriate outfit.
Mr. Song also saw Huo Bao's mace bag and said curiously: "I heard that the young master was using the soldiers of Wu Lie. I wonder if I will meet you at first?"
Wu Lie was the posthumous title of the fifth general by Emperor Gaozong of this dynasty.
Seeing the curiosity in the old man's eyes unblocked, Huo Bao pulled out the purple gold mace.
interesting!
Listen to it?
Those who know that Huo Bao uses the purple gold mace are either their child soldiers or are all in Quyang, and not many people know about it even in Binjiang.
Where can I hear it in the prefecture?
This is a person with a heart!
Seeing Huo Bao holding his two maces in his hand lightly, the old man sincerely praised: "Young Master's strength is indeed extraordinary! The remaining soldiers of Mr. Wu Lie will never be buried!"
Duke Wu Lie?
Purple gold mace?
Both families looked at their eyes.
The difference is that when the Song family saw the purple gold mace clearly, their faces became more solemn.
The fifth general is from Chuzhou. He has been living in the city for 70 years, but everyone has grown up by listening to his deeds, and still cannot hide his respect.
The Wu family was questioning, and they just said that they would just talk about the purple gold mace when they took the copper mace. Who should they fool?
Since the fifth general died in the city, his weapons have disappeared. There are rumors that he was taken into the inner treasury by Emperor Taizu of this dynasty. Regardless of whether it is true or false, it has not been released for seventy years.
How do you say it out?
