Chapter 6: Picking and Choosing the Best Person

  Director Zhang's culinary skills are not ordinary, Huo Hai looked at the full table of dishes and couldn't help but praise him. If Director Zhang were to return to modern times, he would definitely be able to find a good job with a monthly salary of 300,000 in a five-star hotel!

  "Hurry up and eat some more, hehe!" Zhang Da Guan Ren chuckled as he served more dishes to Huo Xiao.

  Huò was helping Zhang Yun serve some dishes when she saw her deep in thought, seemingly still pondering the differences between male and female bodies they had discussed earlier.

  "Hey, I'm a straightforward person. Since Hua'er and Yun'er are a perfect match, let's pick a auspicious day to settle this matter, what do you say?" Zhang Da Guan Ren poured down a cup of fine wine and began to reveal his thoughts.

  As soon as this was said, everyone in the room almost spat out the food in their mouths. Especially Huo, who was anxious to marry off his daughter? This Zhang Daquan is also too impatient!

  Now that we mention it, does Zhang Yun have some incurable disease? Or is there a rumor behind her back that makes her unmarriageable, otherwise why would her father be in such a hurry to marry her off?

  Huo Qing's idea seemed to be the same as Huo Hai's, he hastily stood up: "What Zhang Da Guan said is reasonable, but marriage should be taken seriously, otherwise it will not be auspicious!"

  "Hold on, Mr. He, don't say anything else! Hui'er, what do you think? Do you want to marry Yun'er immediately?" Zhang Da Guan interrupted He Qing's words and directed the conversation straight at He Hui who was staring in shock.

  "This...” Huo was taken aback and didn't know how to respond. What if Zhang Yun really had an incurable disease? Wouldn't marrying her be like not getting the meat but getting a whole body of trouble instead? He was a talented young man, after all, and wasn't worried about finding a wife. He couldn't let a momentary pleasure ruin his lifelong happiness!

  "What's wrong, don't you want to marry Yun'er?" Zhang Da asked urgently, "If you don't want to, just say so. If you do, I won't let you, and if you don't, I'll make you... After saying all this, are you going to marry her or not?"

  Alas, the monk has escaped! Huo was secretly scolding in her heart. She had originally wanted to slow down this 'marriage' matter, but Zhang Da Guan Ren was pressing her again, and it must be because of my good looks that I'm in trouble again!

  "Dad, what are you talking about? We just met today, how can we talk about marriage?" Zhang Yun was extremely shy, but in fact she still quite liked her father's decisiveness!

  "Oh dear! Look at this official getting all worked up again! Sorry about that, I hope you two gentlemen won't mind!" Zhang Da Guan Ren finally calmed down.

  "It doesn't matter, Master is so fond of Xiao Er, it's his good fortune!" He Qing also finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Huo Jiao had long heard that Zhang Da was a "free and easy" person, and today he saw that it was indeed the case. The daughter's lifelong event was thus easily settled! He was frightened into a cold sweat!

  "Huo brother, it's getting late, I think we'll stop here for today. We can gather again another day! Xi'er, when you have time, come visit me and Yun'er at the mansion!" Zhang Da Guan Ren knew he had been rude today, so he quickly got up to leave!

  "Goodbye!" Huo Xiao didn't stay, previously thought it was a healthy Xishi, but now it seems not necessarily so, can't say for sure that this Zhang Yun has a bit of illness.

  He couldn't help but think of the minor illnesses that women in *** often suffered from, and men were most afraid of this kind of illness!

  No way, he thought he had to investigate further, couldn't marry a sick 'girl', although she was the granddaughter of the governor of Yangzhou.

  Huo's family and others saw Zhang Daquan and Zhang Yun off. As they were leaving, Zhang Yun secretly gave him a bunch of autumn cabbage!

  The sedan chair of Zhang's mansion slowly left, and Huo Xiao felt a bit depressed. He had been in the Tang Dynasty for less than three days, and big things happened one after another.

  The first day was still okay, walking out of an ancient-style study room, not far away *** encountered a slender and elegant 'woman' taking a bath in the boudoir.

  Although he was later frightened back into the house by the woman's scream, his mind still had the girl's shy little breasts and slender buttocks, as well as her youthful vitality.

  This 'girl' is Lin Shuang'er, whose voice can make men all over the world infatuated, and now she's his personal maid, thinking of her bathing is simply effortless!

  The next day, he was summoned to the court for questioning! For the first time in a public trial, Huo Wei felt like he was acting in a movie. He thought he was born not to fear officials, probably because he had watched too many ancient costume dramas. The courtroom didn't seem as "quiet" and "solemn" as it was said to be.

  Not afraid of officials, it's good, in the future you can do some lawless things, such as digging up people's ancestral graves, kicking people's widow's door; or doing things that take people's money to atone for their sins, such as being a lawyer. Anyway, you are considered a talented person in this era, plus your skill of flattering learned from *** school, it shouldn't be a problem to make the dead speak and the living shut up.

  On the third day, he was asked to meet with Zhang Yun's father. Originally, he was quite satisfied with Zhang Yun, who was as beautiful as Xishi, but Zhang Dafu's attitude made him suspect that Zhang Yun might be suffering from a stubborn disease that even modern medicine could not cure!

  What a lively three days! Huo was amazed and couldn't help but think that when he watched time-traveling shows before, people who traveled to the Tang Dynasty either became good men or became house slaves who could flirt with princesses and young ladies, and there were also those who made great achievements and became rich. How did he end up getting into these messy things as soon as he came?

  Huò Jiǎo felt that he should also make a name for himself, but it was impossible. The Tang Dynasty's political situation was stable, and only in chaotic times could heroes emerge.

  Is the Ho family rich? It's not very likely. Although the Ho family has some money, this is an era that emphasizes agriculture over commerce, and earning a little silver isn't enough to cover social expenses outside, let alone the large sums demanded by the government every year!

  This is an era that values culture, where a few Tang poems are more valuable than being proficient in eighteen martial arts. However, Huo Xiao feels that he can't walk this path either, after all, he's not a true talent.

  The Tang poems that were forced to be memorized by the teacher in elementary school have been squandered, who dares to really join the ranks of the talented?

  He thinks that extortion, cheating and deceiving are his strong points, but he doesn't know if there's an industry suitable for him in this era!

  "Heh heh......" A shriveled laugh reached Huo Xiao's ears.

  Only when he took a closer look did he realize that it was Li Sheng standing beside him, the son of the Li family, who is now in charge of the firewood shed at the Huo's residence.

  "What are you doing standing here?" Li Sheng interrupted, causing Huo Hai to become annoyed. However, since Li Sheng still looked somewhat pleasing to the eye, and although he appeared sly, he knew that this guy was like his father - with "loyalty" written on their noses.

  "Xiao Shengzi is waiting for Young Master here!" Li Sheng replied honestly.

  "What am I doing?" Huo Lei felt a bit puzzled, he thought Li Sheng's voice was a bit off, Li Sheng's voice was soft and gentle with a hint of sharpness! Ah! Isn't this the legendary male seductress? A male fox spirit!

  "The old master said that from now on, Xiaoshengzi would follow the young master. He said that the young master was growing up and needed someone to hold his horse and carry his luggage!" Xiaoshengzi replied in a voice that was neither masculine nor feminine.

  Lead the horse, carry a package? Young master, I won't ride a horse and don't have any packages to carry. It's not that old man who is afraid of himself doing something wrong again outside, sending someone to monitor from behind!

  It's alright then. Huo Xīn thought to himself, having just arrived in the Tang Dynasty, everything here was so unfamiliar, and it would be convenient to have a young Victory following him around to explain things.

  "Alright then, Xiao Shengzi, you accompany Young Master to the market for a stroll. This young master hasn't gone 'out' in a long time!" Huo Hai decided to go to the market for a stroll and experience the real Tang Dynasty culture.

  Others who travel through time and space in this era are familiar with their surroundings, he thinks he can't be an exception, since he's here, it's to figure out his future life and development environment.

  As for this little victory, he thinks it's necessary to cultivate him well. Later on, he can be used as a scapegoat. He'll spread rumors and get into trouble, but in the end, he'll just use him as a shield!

  Xiao Shengzi whispered on the side, "Young master wasn't with a group of scholars reciting poetry and drinking just the other day? How come he hasn't gone out for so long?"

  The streets of Shuyuan County are not very wide, but the streets are still bustling with cars and horses. The Tang Dynasty restored production and development, and all regions have experienced economic recovery, and Shuyuan County is no exception.

  Hey! Huo Ji arrived at the market in the Tang Dynasty. It's not that Liu Laolao entered Daguanyuan, but it's also a big girl getting married for the first time. What a novelty! She couldn't help but look around left and right!

  The market is bustling with excitement, the street vendors are calling out to sell their goods, although they may not be very developed and the items may not be very complete, but some shops have achieved scale construction!

  Besides, let's not talk about Tang Dynasty men's clothing for now. The women's clothing of the Tang Dynasty has already given Ho Ji a glimpse of its exquisite craftsmanship.

  Unmarried women still wear tight-fitting clothes, but *** wear loose and seductive clothes, with their white skin exposed in the air.

  Similarly, it's the 'breast' of a 'woman', but each has its own differences. Huo Hai looked at them in dismay, while Xiao Shengzi was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Young Master today. In the past, when Young Master went out, he was elegant and refined, even to the point of being completely focused, but today he kept looking around, and he even heard a woman muttering: "This man is sick, and yet he's still so arrogant!"

  "Hey, old man, come on up and sit down! Come on up quickly!" A loud shout awakened Huo's sensitive nerves, and he couldn't help but look up to see that the girl upstairs was really "blooming"!
