Chapter 209: I can’t stand it any longer
Back to the Huo family.
Xiang Xuan got off the car and went to the east courtyard villa. There was no need to go through the main house to meet the Huo family.
After entering the house, Zhou Wei laid out the refreshments.
He said: "The Ninth Young Master has gone out to do some work temporarily. The time when the Ninth Young Master will come back is not yet certain. Young Mistress, is there anything you would like to eat for dinner?"
Xiang Xuan responded: "It's okay. He won't come back to eat at night, right?"
Zhou Wei said: "Not sure, young mistress, do you want to wait for Ninth Young Master to come back and eat together?"
"Ask him." Xiang Xuan didn't receive Huo Yanzhou's message or call, so she didn't bother to ask.
Zhou Wei nodded and retreated.
Huo Yanzhou considered that Xiang Xuan liked reading, so when he returned to the imperial capital, he moved all the books in Langting's study room. He even set aside half of the study room specifically for resting and reading.
Right now, she was sitting in the living room, reading a book and passing the time.
She doesn't need to do anything for the time being, she just needs to wait for Teacher Kamo to call back.
After watching for about twenty minutes, the bodyguard came in from outside, stood not far away, and bowed slightly: "Young lady, the fourth and fifth ladies are here, saying they are here to see you."
"Well, invite them in."
Xiang Xuan put away the book and put it in the drawer of the coffee table.
Huo Siya and Huo Mengyuan walked in each carrying gifts.
Xiang Xuan stood up and said, "Fourth sister, fifth sister."
When the two heard her taking the initiative to address them, they were a little uncomfortable. After all, her behavior at the dinner table at noon made them feel This girl is so cool.
"Did it bother you?" Huo Mengyuan asked considerately.
"No, I'm free. Please sit down." Xiang Xuan's attitude was calm, and he didn't feel alienated.
Huo Siya had already placed the gift on the coffee table, "I didn't know you liked it, so I bought it based on my feeling. Sister-in-law, please don't dislike it."
Xiang Xuan took a closer look, it was Nanzhu brand jewelry. She smiled slightly and said: "There is no woman who doesn't like jewelry."
Seeing her direct and candid speech, Hosya had a new impression of her.
This ninth younger brother and sister are quite interesting.
Immediately, Huo Mengyuan also put the gift on the table implicitly, "I don't know if my ninth brother and sister will like what I chose."
Seeing this, Xiang Xuan said: "Thank you, but I didn't prepare any gifts."
Huo Siya smiled and said: "It's your first time to come to the house. Of course, we, the elder brothers and sisters, bought it. How can we The reason for your purchase."
Faced with their enthusiasm, Xiang Xuan only smiled in response.
The two sisters talked about domestic matters and did not ask excessive questions. The most asked questions were about Huo Yanzhou's living situation in Huicheng. On the other hand, Huo Siya asked some obscure questions, but Xiang Xuan dealt with them vaguely.
When they felt it was almost the same, the two sisters made excuses and left one after another.
As soon as they left, Zhou Wei ordered people to clear away all the tea cups and other things on the coffee table.
Xiang Xuan looked at the two gift boxes thoughtfully and asked, "Do the two Miss Huo have good feelings for Huo Yanzhou?"
Zhou Weijian asked this and asked He expressed his opinion: "With interests at the forefront, everyone's natural choice is to be a member of the united front. The Huo family is a big family, and there will also be supporters."
After hearing this, Xiang Xuan understood. It seems that the Huo family's situation is more complicated than that of the Qian family.
"I heard that Miss Qianhui from Qianjia is getting engaged to Huo Shijin?"
Zhou Wei didn't think there was anything wrong with the young mistress asking this question. He hummed and said, "The engagement date will be set in half a month. The engagement banquet will be held in the Huo family's back garden and will not be made public."
Xiang Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that she would see most of the Qian family that day.
Including grandpa.

Guanlanzhai.
Huo Yanzhou and others were sitting around a round table, with a lotus incense stand in the middle, sandalwood rising slowly, and the whole room was filled with an elegant light fragrance.
"Brother Ninth, I don't understand, what is the meaning of enduring until now." Old Wu Duanfei, who was sitting next to Shen Qiuting, had a dark face from beginning to end, facing this period of time He was in the imperial capital and worried about what happened every day, but he still had to obey and not take action.
I finally endured it until Brother Ninth and the others came to the imperial capital, so I let it out.
He continued unhappily: "If you ask me, just take him to Jinsha, a no-man's land and kill him. There are so many descendants, who cares if one of them dies on horseback."
Everyone else can understand Duan Fei being so annoyed.
But it is Huo Yanzhou who calls the shots.
Although Huo Yanzhou is only the third among them, he is the one who takes care of everything.
The boss who seldom shows up, likes to be the hands-off shopkeeper Jiang Qi.
So, he became the one who called the shots.
Su Youchen patted Duan Fei on the shoulder: "Fifth brother, calm down the fire. Come and have a sip of tea."
Duan Fei took it and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the silent Ninth Brother, he asked: " Brother Jiu, just say something, and the rest I'll take care of it."
Shen Qiuting stared at him and said quietly: "Do you know that we have been investigating things that have happened frequently recently, and the other party can completely guess our results. action, It seems that he knows everything about us. Do you think that in this case, we should alert the snake?"
"But"
"I know what you are going to say. At present, we have There are indeed lists of people to be killed, but if there is a bomb in these lists, the risk we will take will be very high. Think about the planned tasks in TC, we cannot lose anything."
Duan Fei was told that he was unable to refute, so he could only drink tea.
At this time, Jiang Qicai said: "So, no matter what, we can't be too hasty now. Anyway, we have been here for so many years. Do we still have to wait for a while? If we can completely uproot ourselves this time, , catch the person we really want to catch.”
“Isn’t that right, Lao Jiu?”
As he spoke, he bumped Huo Yanzhou’s shoulder with his shoulder.
Holding the tea cup, Huo Yanzhou, who had never spoken a word, raised his eyelids, his dark black eyes showing no waves, just like an endless abyss. "Next time, don't let me hear someone complaining. If you feel like you can't bear it, then go to the Flag Arena and punch a couple of times, and the anger will naturally go away."
Although Huo Yanzhou spoke without any emotion, it still made Duan Fei feel intimidated, and he completely lost his dissatisfaction.
"I know very well what I should do and what I shouldn't do. If you feel dissatisfied with what I explain, then get out."
When Duan Fei heard this, he immediately explained : "Brother Ninth, I'm not dissatisfied, I just think we shouldn't waste so much time."
Huo Yanzhou stared at him solemnly: "Is there a difference?"
Duan Fei took a sip. Mouth: ".No difference."
He looked away grimly.
Jiang Qi started to say good things to the side: "Okay, okay, Lao Wu already knows that he was wrong, just pretend that he complained just now, let's talk about the next thing. After all, this time we will make a complete comeback. Now that we have arrived in the imperial capital, it’s time to explain what we should do next.”
