Because he had been to Sang Mansion twice before, the servant also knew that this was Huo Yilang, the younger brother of the champion.
then.
He didn't dare to offend, he just nodded and said, "Okay, I'll report it to Huo Yilang right now."
immediately.
The servant guarding the gate went to tell Sang Qian about this.
"Alang, Huo Guang, the champion brother-in-law, wants to see you!"
Hearing the slave's words, Sang Qian frowned slightly and said, "Didn't Huo Guang offend my father some time ago? Come here to ask to see my father, will my father meet him?"
"No, no, no, Huo Yilang said it's you who wants to see you." The servant shook his head and continued, "He said that he has enclosed a piece of land outside the city where he can raise any fish, insect, bird or beast for you."
Did he really enclose a piece of land for him?
You can also raise any fish, insect, bird or animal!
As the useless son of Sang Shizhong, he was very happy when he heard that Huo Guang said that he had enclosed a piece of land outside the city and said that he could raise anything for him.
He stopped playing chess with Sang Xiaomei and stood up directly and said, "Where is Huo Guang and others?"
The servant replied: "Huo Yilang is still waiting outside the door, saying he is waiting for you!"
When Sang Qian heard what the servant said about letting people stand at the door, he immediately cursed: "What did you do? How can you leave people hanging at the door? Do you know how to treat guests? Go quickly... forget it. , I’d better welcome people in!”
However.
At this time, the servant asked: "How should I respond when the gentleman asks?"
Sang Qian said angrily: "When my father gets angry, I will just deal with it. You don't need to worry about it."
Talking.
He happily prepared to meet Huo Guang. At this time, Sang Meiren was behind him and said unhappily: "Sang Qian, the game is not over yet!"
"Hey, you already lost most of your moves on the 17th move, why do you want to play?"
Sang Qian said without looking back.
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son, this Sang Hongyang looks useless, but he is still very smart.
It's just that I'm usually too lazy to use my brain.
For example, play chess.
His younger sister, Sang Meiren, could not compete with his older brother, Sang Qian.
soon.
Sang Qian went out and saw Huo Guang. He immediately welcomed him in and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Huo Yilang, my servant of Sang Mansion doesn't understand the rules and made you wait outside the door for so long!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Huo Guang smiled and shook his head.
After all, he earned half a million yuan in cash from the Sang Mansion, so it was normal for his hospitality to be a bit poor.
He can accept it!
I just don’t know if Sang Shizhong can accept what I want to do next.
While Huo Guang was thinking about these things.
Sang Qian asked expectantly: "The servant who was guarding the door just now said that Huo Yilang has enclosed a piece of land outside the city, which can support me to raise many, many small animals?"
Huo Guang shook his head and denied this statement.
This made Sang Qian a little embarrassed and said, "That means he was deceived by my slave. Hey, how could these guys be so brave, even I dared to deceive them."
However.
Huo Guang smiled and said: "No, no, no, I don't mean that the slave lied to you, but his statement is inaccurate. I didn't enclose a piece of land, but a large piece of land."
"Brother Sang Qian, you can grow anything you want there from now on."
"Don't worry, no one will talk about you."
When Sang Qian heard this, the smile that disappeared on his face instantly appeared.
Immediately!
He said: "That's great, Huo Guang, believe me, raising pigs is also very profitable."
The term "pig".
In fact, it existed after the Warring States Period, and since the Qin State unified writing, pig was written as "pig". Different from Liu She's "彘", "彘" more represents wild boar.
Like some people say that pig means sow.
This is seriously wrong.
after all.
No matter how miserable Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was when he was a child, he was still a prince. There was no way he would be named Liu Sow!
And this era.
The former name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was taboo, so no one dared to call domestic pigs pigs.
this point.
It is similar to the taboo of using the emperor's surname during the Ming Dynasty.
In the Ming Dynasty, they were not called pigs, but more often called pigs!
When Huo Guang heard what Sang Qian said, he just smiled lightly and didn't care whether he made money or not.
The land he raised was just for the purpose of accumulating saltpeter.
Nothing else.
"Brother Sang Qian, why do you need to talk about money? Talking about money hurts feelings. If you don't raise anything, you can be happy." Huo Guang smiled faintly.
When Sang Qian heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Haha, Huo Yilang is such a generous man. I am determined to make you my friend."
The two spoke loudly.
It immediately disturbed Sang Hongyang who was in the house.
No.
Sang Hongyang felt unhappy when he heard Huo Guang's voice, so he ran out and asked with a frown: "Huo Yilang, I, the head of the family, haven't invited you in yet, how dare you come to my house privately?"
Huo Guang has not responded yet.
Sang Qian had already said for him: "Dad, I let him in."
"Huo Yilang was very generous and enclosed a piece of land outside the city."
"You said you would raise things for me that you don't like."
After hearing what Sang Qian said, Sang Hongyang wanted to beat his son angrily, but that happened later.
now.
He glared at Huo Guang and said, "That's so generous. He took half a million of my Sang family's money and lent it to you for fun. How could he not be generous?"
Sang Qian suddenly became angry and said: "Dad, why do you say that? That painting deserves the first place in the competition. There is no problem that the competition prize goes to Huo Yilang! Even without Huo Guang, there is still the elder brother who takes the first place. My name, you also want to say that the Sima family took 500,000 from my Sang family?"
The words fell.
Sang Qian also said to Huo Guang: "Huo Yilang, my father is like this, don't worry about it!"
As soon as the words left his mouth.
Sang Hongyang took out a stick from nowhere and wanted to beat Sang Qian.
"You rebellious son, what are you talking about? If you dare to speak out against your father, believe it or not, I will beat you to death today and no one will care about it."
Seeing that a farce is about to happen again.
Huo Guang immediately interrupted Sang Hongyang's prelude to casting the spell and said, "Sang Shizhong, you can take your time in teaching your son. I'm here today purely out of good intentions and to give you a heads up!"
Sang Hongyang stopped chasing Sang Qian, who had run away, and propped the stick upright on the ground, like an old man holding a cane.
He looked at Huo Guang doubtfully and asked, "Reminder? What a joke. I, Sang Hongyang, have been very cautious in my life. What do I need you to remind me about?"
Huo Guang shook his head and said with a sigh: "It seems that Shizhong Sang really doesn't know that he is about to be in disaster!"
"I'm in for a big disaster? Huo Yilang, please don't be ridiculous." Sang Hongyang snorted and said, "Firstly, I, Sang Hongyang, am not a male thief and a female prostitute, secondly, I am not an official official, and thirdly, I am not following people's influence. How can I be in such a big disaster?"
See Sang Hongyang's attitude.
Huo Guang didn't pay attention, but asked him a seemingly irrelevant question, saying: "Sang Hongyang, when His Majesty first ordered me, he used others to pretend to be himself to test me, and you were also present. Moreover, His Majesty changed his name. Pu Tian, you said he was your friend, right?"
Sang Hongyang nodded immediately and said: "So what, this is what His Majesty asked me to do. Is it possible that because of this, you want to accuse me of deceiving the emperor?"
Huo Guang immediately smiled and said, "Why are you suing you? Your Sang family brought me half a million yuan. I'm grateful to you before it's too late!"
"snort!"
When Sang Hongyang heard this, he snorted heavily.
It seems.
This old fox is right
I'm still very upset about the fact that I was cheated out of 500,000 yuan.
Thinking of this, Huo Guang smiled, shook his head and said: "At that time, I didn't know that Your Majesty was Pu Tian. His Majesty once said that Sang Hongyang could neither farm the land nor go into battle to kill. The enemy only knows a few superficial calculations. Just wait until one day when you feel bad, just kill him!"
When Sang Hongyang heard this, he burst out laughing and said, "Hahaha, Huo Yilang, even a three-year-old kid wouldn't believe your lies, right?"
"Sang Shizhong, don't you believe it?" Huo Guang frowned slightly.
"Do not believe!"
Sang Hongyang shook his head directly, indicating that he did not believe his lies.
immediately.
Huo Guang nodded and continued to talk to himself: "Your Majesty hates the merchant industry the most, but Sang Shizhong is from a Luoyang merchant family. Originally, Your Majesty wanted to use your knowledge of merchants to deal with merchants."
"But this time, just because of a small paper competition, the family was able to persuade the family to allocate a huge sum of five hundred thousand."
"Your Majesty understood right away that you, Sang Hongyang, seemed to be setting boundaries with businessmen, but in fact you were just clearing obstacles for your family."
When Sang Hongyang heard this, his expression immediately became less calm.
But this time.
He was still saying harshly: "Huh, Huo Yilang, you must be lying to me, right? His Majesty used me to deal with businessmen, and he never said that he was using me to deal with businessmen of the Sang family. How could he blame me for this!" "
I still don't believe it when I see him.
Huo Guang calmly stretched out his index finger, shook it at him, and said, "These alone are not enough to be scary, the most important thing is!"
"The appearance of Chang'anle Restaurant."
"You are a Luoyang businessman behind the restaurant, and you have Prime Minister Li's support. It's hard to tell whether you are suspected of being a clique. Oh, it would be more accurate to say that there is collusion between government and businessmen."
"Collusion between officials and businessmen is what your Majesty hates the most."
"Although His Majesty doesn't know yet whether you are involved or not, I want to tell Mr. Sang something."
"When His Majesty began to doubt you, the crime was actually already established."
After a long talk, Sang Hongyang could no longer maintain his original mentality.
Since entering the palace, I have spent more than 20 years accompanying His Majesty in studying. I don't ask for promotion or promotion, just to gain His Majesty's trust.
What if that trust is really gone now?
Even if His Majesty spares his life, he is almost dead.
See this.
Huo Guang already understood that Sang Hongyang had been deceived by him. However, this is only temporary. With Sang Hongyang's intelligence, it is estimated that it will not take long for him to realize his deception.
Simply, Huo Guang quickly expressed his thoughts and said: "Doesn't Sang Shi have the power to enter and leave the palace at will? If you don't believe it, you can go to the palace first to apologize. I will wait at your house. If you deceive your majesty, You, of course I am the unlucky one."
Those words directly deflected Sang Hongyang's train of thought.
This time.
It would be even harder for him to see through Huo Guang's intentions.
He even hurriedly agreed and said, "Yes, yes, I will go to the palace to see His Majesty. If Your Majesty really suspects that I am at fault, I'd better apologize earlier."
The words fell.
He called his wife to change clothes and prepare the carriage, and hurried to the palace.
Huo Guang stayed in Sang Mansion and waited.
At this moment.
Seeing that his father was gone, Sang Qian appeared out of nowhere and said, "Huo Yilang, don't be offended, my father is too ignorant."
Too ignorant?
Forehead...
Is this something you, a son, can say?
Even Huo Guang, a time traveler, would not dare to say such treacherous words to Huo Zhongru.
"Ahem, brother Sang Qian, it's better to be careful with what you say." Huo Guang said.
However.
Sang Qian said disapprovingly: "Hey, Huo Yilang, you are too timid.
Nothing to be cautious about. Come on, we two are so in love with each other, why not play a game of chess. "
Chess game.
Huo Guang frowned slightly, he didn't know how to do this.
Zhang Tang persuaded him to learn Go at the beginning, but Go was too boring for him.
Can't learn.
Huo Guang shook his head randomly and said: "Brother Sang Qian, don't invite me. My chess skills are terrible. If I lose by 2/16, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud? It's better not to lose."
"Ah?" Sang Qian looked confused and asked, "Is Huo Yilang's chess skills not as good as my sister's?"
Hear this.
Sang Meiren, who didn't like Huo Guang, also quietly pricked up his ears to listen.
Huo Guang said immediately: "Let me tell the truth, Sang Qian, actually, I won't do this."
"Huo Yilang actually doesn't know how to play chess? The nobles of Chang'an all use this as a pastime. Even His Majesty will often find someone to play chess with. Huo Yilang, you are far worse than my sister." Sang Qian said with emotion.
At this moment.
Sang Meiren immediately became unhappy and said, "Sang Qian, what do you mean, you make it sound like I'm bad."
"Aren't you bad? Then you beat me, my brother?" Sang Qian said calmly.
Sang Meiren also learned it recently, so of course she is not as good as Sang Qian.
immediately.
He snorted lightly and said nothing.
However, at this moment, Sang Qian seemed to have developed a sense of superiority over Sang Mei and Huo Guang. He suddenly became interested and said, "Huo Yilang, don't be afraid. Since you don't know how to play chess, if you don't mind, how about I teach you?"
Let Sang Qian teach him?
Huo Guang thought about spreading the word in the future and that he would be taught how to play Go by Sang Qian.
With his reputation.
Don't make a fool of yourself!
Immediately.
Huo Guang said: "No, no, it's not because I can't learn, I just feel bored. If you want to amuse yourself, I can teach you two brothers and sisters to play a more fun card game."
"Card game? What?" Sang Qian asked with some confusion.
"Get some paper, pen and ink, and I'll tell you again." Huo Guang said with a faint smile.
then.
Out of strong curiosity, Sang Qian shouted to a maid in the house: "Xianger, bring over some paper, ink, pen and inkstone."
"Okay, Alang." After the maid Xiang'er responded, she took out the paper and ink and handed it to Huo Guang.
After Huo Guang took it, he folded and cut the paper into pieces of the same size. After that, on the small piece of paper, he wrote the characters from one to the cross in small seal script in sequence, and finally wrote the three characters A, B, and C.
Write four copies of each word.
Label the hearts, spades, diamonds, and clubs respectively.
at last.
Two more big and small kings were written.
Sang Qian couldn't understand what Huo Guang was doing, so he asked, "Huo Yilang, is this what you said was fun?"
Huo Guang shook his head and explained: "This is just making game tools, just like playing chess. You have to have black and white pieces and a chessboard before you can play, right?"
Hear the words.
Sang Qian nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, that's the truth."
At this moment.
Huo Guang has already made the cards, but he thinks that only three people can play the game.
So, he said to Sang Qian: "The game I want to talk about requires three people to play. How about calling your sister?"
When Sang Qian heard this, he shouted: "Little sister, do you want to play this? Huo Yilang said that this game he invented is very fun."
Forehead...
That he invented it?
Huo Guang thought to himself that he didn't want to keep the poker cards for himself.
But I’m too lazy to explain.
Say whatever you like!
However, when Sang Meiren heard Huo Guang's words, she immediately tilted her head and said arrogantly: "Humph, I don't play with annoying people, let alone playing with something he invented!"
