"Master, is it comfortable to sit in the sedan?" Master Huo asked with a smile.
"It turns out to be your lord, please forgive me!" The master got off the sedan with a red face.
The sound of the canal water lapping against the riverbank reminded him that he had arrived at the west pier of the city. Mr. Huo and his goddaughter had already arrived. He immediately opened the folding fan and said, "Sir, Miss, please get in the sedan quickly."
"My goddaughter, get on the sedan." Mr. Huo asked Zhao Min to go first, and then he got on the sedan.
"Get up the sedan!" Ye Ye ordered the next group of people to rush eastward.
At the beginning of the night, the lights of thousands of houses lit up the night in Shanyang. It was time for the people to eat after a busy day. In order to cool down, they simply set up a table on the street and had dinner outside.
From time to time, the sound of fans slapping mosquitoes could be heard in Mr. Huo's ears, and naturally the sound of children's play was indispensable. The street would be dark, if it weren't for the lantern in the master's hand, the county magistrate would be in trouble. I couldn't see my goddaughter's handsome face.
Today was so unforgettable. In Hexia County, Taiye witnessed Wen Quxing descending to the Wu Mansion and tasted authentic Huaiyang cuisine. It felt so different to bite the lion's head in his mouth. Paired with Hexia special rice wine, it really complements each other.
With the faint light, Master Huo looked at Zhao Min's fair face. He believed that his goddaughter was extraordinary, so he decided to test it out.
"Daughter, your accent sounds like you're not from the South." Mr. Huo asked abruptly.
"Father, Min'er is from Luoyang, Henan." Zhao Min, who was sitting opposite, replied sincerely.
"No wonder." Mr. Huo knew that the child had not lied to him.
"Get off the sedan." The master shouted at the top of his lungs.
"We're home, goddaughter." Mr. Huo opened the sedan door.
Zhao Min carefully handed over the pipa, and then slowly got out of the sedan. Although the Shanyang government office in front of him could not compare with the luxury of the capital, it was still as solemn and majestic. The pair of stone lions at the door seemed to be staring at her, reminding her that this was a government office.
"Don't look at me, goddaughter. Let's go and meet your godmother with your adoptive father."
"Yes, foster father."
Passing through the main hall, the four words "upright and bright" above Mr. Huo's official duties are particularly dazzling.
Turning into the backyard from the side door, it is a secluded place. The flowers in the back garden are in full bloom, including the bright red roses and the vibrant bunches of red. Especially the pots of spider plants are unique and look particularly fresh and elegant, and the pots of green radish are fluttering in the wind, as if they are opening. Warm arms welcomed her.
Suddenly, the sound of gurgling water came from the east. Zhao Min saw that the sound of water came from a rockery. The craftsmen's unique design vividly interpreted the Jiangnan style of small bridges and flowing water gardens.
"Madam——" Mr. Huo shouted happily.
"Woof woof woof." A puppy suddenly rushed out from the corner. Zhao Min, who was walking in front, was so frightened that he stepped back and plunged into Mr. Huo's arms.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Xiaohei, this is a young lady, you can't bully her."
"Yo yo yo, what kind of woman makes the master like this?" Madam bumped over and saw Master Huo comforting his daughter, and her jealousy was immediately overturned.
Mr. Huo quickly pushed his adopted daughter away and explained with a smile: "Madam, you misunderstood. Look, I found your daughter for you."
"My foster mother, please accept my daughter's obeisance." Zhao Min turned around and saw that this lady was very wealthy and prosperous. Although she was angry, the affection between her brows was still caught by her. A maid next to her looked at her curiously. Hold yourself. This girl is slightly smaller than him, and at first glance she looks like the petite Lin Linglong girl.
"Daughter, adoptive mother? Master, what is going on?" The lady asked eagerly without stopping, waving the cattail leaf fan.
Mr. Huo sat down and drank tea, then told the whole story.

After hearing the master's story about her goddaughter's origin, the wife burst into tears: "Come here, my daughter, come here quickly and let your godmother take a look."
"Godmother." Zhao Min knelt down next to his wife and lay on her lap, tears of gratitude flowing freely down his cheeks.
"Don't cry, don't cry. My daughter, you have suffered. My daughter is only as old as you when she is alive."
"Mom, my daughter will be your biological daughter from now on." Zhao Min nodded three times in succession, which moved his wife to the point of incoherence.
"Long'er, come quickly." The lady shouted loudly.
"Mom, I'm here." A boy came out of the room with a book in his hand. He is eleven or twelve years old, with a tiger-like head and a big, piercing eyes that are unforgettable.
"Mom, who is she?"
"Jiang Long, her name is Zhao Min, and she is your biological sister from now on." Mr. Huo spoke.
"Yes, sister."
"Hey, Brother Long." Zhao Min stepped forward and took his hand.
"Sister, can you play the pipa?" Long Er said, "I want to learn."
"A good man has ambitions everywhere. Why should he learn from this?"
"What book is in your hand?"
"The Analects of Confucius."
"Half of the Analects of Confucius governs the world. Long'er should read poetry and books, and he will become a great talent in the future." The two siblings chatted and walked towards the garden. The county prince and his wife laughed from ear to ear.
"Son, the Zhang family came to propose marriage. I think the girl is dignified and virtuous. She will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future." Mr. Shen said to his son Shen Wei while sitting in the living room.
"Mom and dad are above me. The marriage of Er Ming is decided by his parents and the matchmaker. It is up to his father to make the final decision." Shen Wei was a filial son and a virtuous grandson, so he agreed to his father's decision.
In this way, under Master Shen's control, Master Shen is about to get married.
"Is Boss Song here?" Two days ago, Mr. Shen came to Qingyu Huaiyang Hexia Restaurant with a happy face.
"Boss Shen, please take a seat! No, no, no, please take a seat. There are few customers. What gust of wind brought you, the big boss, to my small restaurant?" Teacher Song came up with a smile on his face, and his three With his sharp tongue, he could talk both the dead and the living into death. He continued, "Looking at your face, my family is very happy."
"Boss Song, you are so awesome. You are worthy of being a leader in the Hexia catering industry! I really can't hide anything from you." Mr. Shen sat down to chat.
"I don't think so. Are you here today?" Boss Song asked tentatively, looking at the red-faced Mr. Shen with sly eyes.
"Place two banquet tables."
"Okay!" Boss Song was very excited after hearing this, "Thank you for your love. Young Master is engaged?"
"OK."
Boss Song patted his chest and said, "Just come and have a drink with me. Mr. Shen, I promise to do a great job for you!"
The two discussed the specific side dishes, and the conversation became more and more speculative. Boss Song tried his best to recommend the Huaiyang cuisine that the restaurant specializes in. Mr. Shen deleted it on the paper and added it after a while, and finally settled on it!
"Boss Song, you did a great job this time. Next time on the dog's big day, I won't have to think twice and choose your house." Boss Song understood Master Shen's implication immediately.
"Mr. Shen, relax, you will definitely find something cheap and good." Boss Song rolled his eyes and continued jokingly, "Besides, I can't fish for big fish for a long time, right?"
"Hahaha!" The two people pointed at each other and laughed so hard.
"Then it's settled, Shen takes his leave." Mr. Shen stood up and bowed with both hands.
"In compliance with the holy will, I won't send it away." Boss Song handed it away with his hands, all the way to the door.
If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the explanation next time.
