"Sister-in-law?" Huo Guang was stunned for a moment as he spoke.
In fact, he could guess it, but for some reason, he was still stunned.
General Huo Qubing is twenty years old this year and has a woman. This is normal. In ancient times, people got married early, but they didn't get married and start a business as late as in modern times.
But most people generally believe that the twenty-year-old Huo Qiaoqi is still single. The main reason is that Sima Qian's "Historical Records" mentioned the words of Champion Hou: "The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family?"
This sounds like,
There is some ambiguity!
Most people use the word "family" to start a family and start a business on the spot.
In fact.
He is the champion Hou Huo Qubing's refusal to refuse His Majesty's reward of a luxurious mansion. It means that the disaster of the Huns has not been solved yet, so houses and residences are not considered for the time being.
Rather than say.
Before all the Huns were killed, Huo Qubing would not have a family.
What if Huo Qubing didn't get married?
In four years, he will be traveling to Hexi, so where did he get his four-year-old son Huo Shan?
Huo Guang slowly woke up from his surprise. He smiled and said to the woman with a slightly bulging belly, "It turns out to be my sister-in-law. Come on, sit inside."
"Fusan."
"Quickly, prepare some dumplings for me. Let's eat dumplings today."
The woman Huo Qubing brought back suddenly giggled. When she heard Huo Guang's words, she immediately asked: "What are dumplings?"
"The pasta I made is a bit similar to wontons in the north." Huo Guang said without shame.
There is no such thing as dumplings in the Western Han Dynasty.
The earliest!
It can also be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty when Zhang Zhongjing used medicinal things to treat patients, saying that it was to avoid frostbite on the ears.
Three Kingdoms period.
Dumplings just became popular and were called Crescent Wontons.
As for the wontons?
This existed in the northern regions during the Western Han Dynasty. It is said that because the northerners hated the two tribes of the Huns, they took their names as food.
After answering what my sister-in-law said.
Huo Guang turned his attention to Brother Champion and said, "Brother, why have I never heard you tell me about my sister-in-law?"
Hear this.
With a smile on his face, Huo Qubing teased: "Brother, do you need to tell you about this? Just like in Chang'an City, which girl did you have a good relationship with? Have you told my brother?"
Hear this.
Huo Guang blushed and said immediately: "No, brother, my studies have always been my top priority. Women are mostly a burden to me. Only if I don't have women in my heart can I achieve great things!"
"Oh?" Huo Qubing said with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Your Majesty, tell me, what's going on with the daughter of the former great peasant order?"
"ah..."
It's possible!
How could the elder brother be talking about her? Although she is quite big, it is not Yan Yu's turn.
besides.
Your Majesty, why are you spreading rumors?
He obviously just followed Yan Yu's wishes and took her out of the city, and he happened to be responsible for building houses in the north.
Why does it have anything to do with myself?
immediately.
Huo Guang shook his head and explained: "Brother, I misunderstood. I was entrusted by Yan Yi, the former great farmer, to take care of his family. After Yan Yi died, I took care of his posthumous affairs and had no other ideas. "
After the champion Hou Huo went to the hospital to listen, he nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. I originally planned to say a few words to you for my brother's sake, don't waste your time on women at such a young age. But now I see that I think too much for my brother's sake."
actually.
Huo Guang really wanted to reply to his brother!
I'm still so young, how could I just waste it on a woman?
At this time.
The champion Hou Huo Qubing helped his wife into the house.
Extremely cautious in behavior.
Coupled with his sister-in-law's bulging belly, Huo Guang naturally thought of something and asked, "Is sister-in-law pregnant?"
"Yes, it should be seven months." Huo Qubing said calmly.
Seven months?
So why does it look like the belly of a pregnant woman is not as big as expected?
Could it be that I didn’t eat well?
Thinking of this, Huo Guang asked: "Brother, we are brothers, we don't speak the same language. What's the matter with bringing my sister-in-law here this time?"
Hear the words.
Champion Hou Huo Qubing nodded and said, "No wonder your majesty always praises you for being smart. It seems that my brother is indeed smart."
"Your sister-in-law Sun Ying used to be responsible for taking care of your brother's daily life."
"She is pregnant now, and I have to train new recruits according to His Majesty's orders, so I have no time to take care of her."
"so."
"I want to bring Sun Ying to your place to help take care of him."
"I heard that there are many singers from Pingyang Mansion in your restaurant. They are all women, so they can chat with your sister-in-law. Plus you have some operas here, which can relieve boredom."
After hearing what Brother Champion said, Huo Guang was a little confused.
What does this mean?
Want me to take care of my sister-in-law?
But here is a restaurant. Why would Brother Champion want to come here?
Immediately.
Huo Guang asked doubtfully: "Brother, if you have a request, as my younger brother, Huo Guang should fulfill it."
"only."
"I don't understand, isn't my uncle's general's mansion good? Why doesn't my sister-in-law go there to live and raise her baby?"
Hearing Huo Guang's words, Huo Qubing shook his head, sighed, and replied: "My uncle's General's Mansion is certainly good, but unfortunately my uncle also has many things to do, and my aunt is seriously ill, so it's hard to trouble my uncle."
"Besides."
"Those three cousins in my uncle's house are very frivolous. It would be bad if they accidentally bump into your sister-in-law when they are playing around."
All right.
It turns out that Brother Champion was motivated by these concerns.
My aunt's condition is indeed serious and she shouldn't be troubled.
The three brothers of the Wei family are all similar, very irritable, and they are really worried about sending their sister-in-law there to live and raise their children.
And as Huo Qubing's younger brother.
For someone who has worked hard to build such a big family business in Chang'an, it is indeed a lot of peace of mind for the elder brother to place his sister-in-law in his younger brother's restaurant.
At least.
If His Majesty suddenly ordered Huo Qubing to lead the troops to go to war, and his sister-in-law had his younger brother to take care of her, then he would not worry about family matters when he went out to lead the troops to fight.
The ancients were not as dirty as modern people, thinking about all sorts of messy things.
The eldest brother is the father.
The eldest sister-in-law is the mother.
Status, dignity and ethics are very important.
then.
Huo Guang agreed to his brother's request. For more people in the restaurant, it was just an extra set of dishes and chopsticks. What's more, this person is still my future sister-in-law!
"Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of my sister-in-law." Huo Guang said.
At this time.
Huo Qubing added, "I have one more thing to do as a brother, which is the wedding with your sister-in-law. I need to invite my two elders to come."
"Actually, last year, I was thinking about getting married."
"But there are many things in the army, and they have been put off again and again. Now that Sun Ying is pregnant, she can't put it off anymore."
According to tradition, in ancient times, people should get married first and then have children.
But this is just wishful thinking of modern people. In ancient times, there were many cases of getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later.
This isn't too bad.
Some people even got on the bus and ran away without buying a ticket!
Due to the openness of sex in the Han Dynasty, such things often happened.
Huo Qubing also thought about getting married. From this point of view alone, he was much better than his biological father Huo Zhongru.
When Huo Guang heard this, he immediately nodded.
Tou agreed: "That's how it should be. Now, brother will go back to his hometown in Pingyang and bring our father over. I will take care of the wedding arrangements."
"correct."
"Where is my sister-in-law's home?"
The words fell.
Huo Guang looked at Sun Ying and asked her where her mother's home was.
Women in the Han Dynasty often used the word "英" in their names.
For example, Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, and Sima Qian's daughter Sima Ying, etc.
After hearing Huo Guang's words, Sun Ying felt a little lonely and said: "I have been lonely since I was a child, and my brother and I depended on each other to beg for food in the Hexi area. In the early years of war, my brother died under the sword of the Huns, and I have been following the general ever since."
oh...
No wonder Sun Ying is not very beautiful in appearance, but she can capture my brother's heart.
It turns out that love grows over time.
Um.
It means both things!
Seeing that his sister-in-law was feeling lonely, Huo Guang quickly apologized and said, "Sister-in-law, I asked you abruptly, don't be sad. After you marry my brother, we will be a family and we will have a new life in the future."
"Here's what I think."
"The wedding is for marriage. My brother is marrying me, and my sister-in-law is marrying me. This restaurant is my mother's family, so I will marry here."
"Brother is temporarily staying at the General's Mansion. When the time comes, we will get married at the General's Mansion. How about that?"
Finished speaking.
Huo Guang looked at his brother. After all, he was the protagonist in this matter.
Huo Qubing nodded and said, "Sure, Sun Ying, what do you think?"
"Well, if the general thinks it's okay, then that's okay!" Sun Ying nodded.
These two people.
When he spoke, he was very straightforward and didn't sound sarcastic at all.
The three of them were chatting.
The shopkeeper Bu San stepped forward and said: "Master, Huo Qiaoqi, Mrs. Qiaoqi, the dumplings are ready and ready to eat!"
Hear this.
Huo Qubing on the side frowned and said, "What kind of food is ready so quickly?"
The shopkeeper Fu San immediately bowed and said, "It's a soup dish. Wrap some meat fillings in the prepared dumpling skins and then put it into the pot directly. It's very convenient and delicious. All the guests at Le Restaurant here love it!"
It is recorded in "Historical Records".
The champion Hou Huo Qubing is a complete foodie.
Even when marching and fighting, you have to bring a skilled cook with you.
certainly.
It is unclear whether historians are deliberately trying to hide this, or whether it is true.
Anyway.
In the later book "Historical Records" written by Ma Qian of the Taishi Company, there was a lot of irony in the description of Wei and Huo. And I admire the flying general Li Guang quite a lot.
After three bowls of steaming dumplings were served.
Huo Qubing had a bowl, Huo Guang had a bowl, and Sun Ying had a bowl, and they were all finished quickly.
After eating.
The champion still looked a little unsatisfied, and said: "This dumpling is really delicious. Huo Guang, how did you make it? Is it filled with pork? Why does it taste like chicken?"
Huo Guang then smiled and said, "There is some chicken stock in the meat filling, that's why it's so delicious."
After listening.
The champion Hou Huo Qubing nodded repeatedly and said: "That's it, it's delicious, it's delicious!"
aside.
Sun Ying heard Huo Qiaoqi say it was delicious. Although she was a little unhappy, she still said: "General, if you think it tastes delicious, I will learn how to cook it for you in the future."
presumably.
Sun Ying's cooking skills are also excellent, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing.
How do you say something?
If you want to tether a man's heart, you must first tether a man's stomach.
this point.
It's not unreasonable.
Huo Qiaoqi immediately raised his hand and said, "Sun Ying, take good care of your baby. These things
Just don't think about it. "
Sun Ying nodded and said: "No."
Seeing the two of them talking like this, Huo Guang couldn't bear it anymore!
Good guy.
Do you torture a dog in front of your face?
"Ahem, brother, I'll prepare my sister-in-law's room first. Do you have any luggage to bring?" Huo Guang interrupted the conversation between the two in time.
Wait one more second.
Huo Guang was afraid that he would be overstretched.
After a day's rest, his elder brother Huo Qubing went to the palace to meet the emperor and asked for permission to return to his hometown in Pingyang to pick up his two elders.
The Han Dynasty valued filial piety.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no reason not to allow Huo Qubing's request, and even allowed him to return to his hometown in Hedong.
Naturally, Huo Guang was also making arrangements for his brother's marriage.
certainly.
In addition to arranging the marriage, he also had to deal with his own affairs, such as the affairs of Chang'an Le Restaurant.
Although Chang'an was reduced to ruins by a fire at this time, its reputation is still there. If Huo Guang wanted to take over this dish at this time, in addition to the Li family, he had to go through the arguments of the other two families.
These two families are the Sang family Shang family represented by Sang Hongyang, and the Yang family represented by Chiquan Hou Yang Yin!
Sang Hongyang doesn't need any introduction. He can now sit in the position of Da Nong Ling thanks to Huo Guang's help.
As for Chiquanhou Yang Yin?
Huo Guang had never seen this person before.
but.
Huo Guang knew the Yang family behind him very well.
Grandfather Yang Xi!
Xiang Yu was divided into pieces and granted the title of Marquis of Chiquan. From then on, the Yang family was established, which gradually spread in the Han Dynasty and formed a large aristocratic family.
Chang'anle Restaurant, which copied the business model of Herele, was built with the investment and efforts of these three companies.
Because of Li Ling's matter.
Huo Guang had already wanted to take ownership of the Li family's part of Chang'anle, so now he invited Yang Yin and Sang Hongyang over.
certainly.
What we are talking about this time is cooperation, not appropriation of these two people's investment in Chang'anle.
Sang Hongyang saw the joy of the organizers here, and asked curiously: "Huo Yilang, why did you suddenly suspend business today? Is this a good thing?"
"Of course there are good things, but it's just a family matter. I can't explain it to you now." Huo Guang paused and then asked, "Where is Chiquanhou Yang Yin?"
The Yang family is a wealthy family with many heirs.
Yang Yin inherited the title of his grandfather Yang Xi and was named Chiquanhou by His Majesty. Naturally, he is also the head of the Yang family this time.
Plus getting older.
For Huo Guang's request from a junior, even if he didn't come, it would be normal.
However, Sang Hongyang said: "Master Yang Yin is very busy, I guess he will have to wait for a long time? Regarding the matter of Chang'an Le, Huo Yilang might as well explain to me first."
"Chang'anle Restaurant has been reduced to ashes due to fire."
"Why do you insist on taking over this Chang'anle Restaurant?"
"Is it because of the fame of those three words "brand"? "
Of course Sang Hongyang didn't understand Huo Guang's operation. From his businessman's perspective, this was a bigger loss than trading.
There is absolutely no need to collect a piece of ruins!
What's more.
Huo Guang still has his own restaurant. Even if he wants to open a second restaurant, he might as well open it somewhere else!
About this question.
Huo Guang just smiled faintly and explained: "Do you think what I bought was a restaurant with the three words "Chang'anle"? "
"hehe."
"That's wrong, what I really want is you two!"
