Chapter 12: The Gift of Prosperity and Wealth
The next morning, Xiao Shengzi sent the nine rolled cigarettes to Huo Hai's place. Although they were not perfect, Huo Hai thought they were passable.
"Go!" Huo Biao didn't even have time to eat breakfast before hastily getting up. He had especially prepared a delicate brocade box to hold his first batch of handmade cigarettes! He was supposed to be supervising production, but he lay in bed supervising in his dreams, while Xiao Shengzi worked through the night, sweating profusely as he produced them.
"Where are you going, young master?" Little Shengzi asked in confusion.
"Mr. Zhang's residence!" Huo was not going there for Zhang Yun, the Tang Dynasty Xi Shi, but for money!
He wanted to buy the vanilla garden that Xiao Shengzi had mentioned earlier, only by controlling this vanilla garden could he have the conditions to produce cigarettes at any time, and every time he went to purchase, what if the owner of the garden was slippery and raised the price?
In the past, when He Qie was running a nightclub, whenever there were fewer girls and more customers on a particular night, he would raise prices and make a lot of extra money. The money from prostitution flowed in like water, and it was easy to make a profit!
Buying that vanilla garden would cost a lot of money, Huo Hai knew that even if he asked Huo Qing, even if he sold his property, he might not be able to make enough money, let alone Huo Qing being more cunning, it's harder to persuade him to sell his property than to persuade the monk to buy a comb!
Then he had to find Zhang Da Guan, Huo Hai knew that this guy wanted to marry his daughter to himself, a great talent, and couldn't help but give himself an opportunity, it would be a waste if he didn't take advantage of him after more than 1,000 years of difficult traversal.
"Master, are you thinking of Miss Zhang? But there's no need to rush so much, it won't be late if we go after breakfast?" Seeing Huo Hai running extremely fast, Xiao Shengzi couldn't help but pant, while quickly twisting his fat buttocks and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"This time, Young Master is going to the Zhang's residence, it concerns the rise and fall of our Ho family, it concerns my own future and destiny! But I've already got a plan in mind, just wait and watch the show!" Huo Hai pinched the nine cigarettes in his hand, secretly smiling to himself.
"Ah, things are so serious?" Xiaoshengzi was still shocked and muttered to himself, wondering if the young master had done something out of line again yesterday? Last time it was sneaking a peek at Lin Shuang'er taking a bath, who knows what he did this time?
"What's on your mind? Young master didn't get to see the servant girl bathe this time, there's real business to attend to this time!" Huo Hai scolded as he walked!
"Huh? Young master, how did you know what Xiaoshengzi was thinking?" Xiaoshengzi looked at the young master in front of him with a very admiring gaze.
"Nonsense! If you can't even do this, how can you be called a great talent?" In fact, Huo Xiao was muttering to himself in his heart, "You just spoke so loudly from behind, even the deaf could hear it!"
"That's also true!" Xiao Shengzi nodded heavily!
After walking for a while, Huo Hai deliberately let Xiao Shengzi walk in front of him because he didn't know where the Zhang Mansion was. It had been less than a week since he came to this era, and he had barely become familiar with the Huo family, but the outside environment was still very unfamiliar!
Before he knew it, they arrived at the Zhang residence. Although Mr. Zhang was not an official, the Zhang residence was much more luxurious than the county magistrate's yamen!
In front of him were two large vermilion-painted iron gates, with a stone lion on either side. Huo Xiao thought that if they added two big wolf dogs at the gate, it would be even more majestic!
There was no guard at the door, so Xiaosheng had to go up and knock on the door!
It's said that Hao Dazitai has arrived at the door, and Zhang Da Guanren is having someone inform his precious daughter while quickly going out to greet him!
"I came uninvited, I hope the great official won't mind!" Today, he had something to ask of someone, so Huo Xiao felt that he should behave a bit more politely and put away his usual nightclub manner for now!
"Ah! Look at you, still so polite to me. I've been waiting for the day when Cloud would bring you here. Ha ha...!" Zhang Da Guan hastily bowed and invited Huo Xiao to speak up.
As soon as Huo Ji entered, he realized that the Zhang Mansion was a luxurious one! He had originally thought that the Water Villa of the Huo family was already the best scenic estate in this area, but now it seemed that it wasn't necessarily so. This Zhang Mansion could rival the Water Villa!
Pavilions and kiosks are scattered in a harmonious way, by the quiet lake shore where hundreds of flowers bloom and hundreds of birds sing. A white stone path leads to the front hall.
Along the winding white path, Huo Xiao appreciated the scenery in the garden while listening to Zhang Da's nagging with a wandering mind. What could this old fellow nag about? It was nothing more than how his precious daughter missed the great talent in front of her!
Just as he arrived at the main hall, Huo suddenly discovered that County Magistrate was also there. How did this sharp-mouthed and pointed-cheekboned guy end up here? He couldn't help but curse in his heart, thinking that this guy wanted to use Zhang Daquan as a stepping stone to curry favor with the Governor of Yangzhou! This is all there is to being an official!
"The county magistrate is superior, I have shown respect!" How could he say that the other person was also an official? Huo Xiao felt that it would still be better to give him some face!
"Ah, no need to be so polite, Mr. Huo! The last time's affair was also unavoidable for this official, and the handling of it was not proper, I hope you won't take it to heart!" The county magistrate also became more courteous.
"Oh, so the old master is also handling it impartially? I can understand that!" Huo Hai thought to himself, "This rabbit's son, at this time, bringing up that case from back then with me, isn't he obviously trying to make things difficult for me? This old fox, I'll eventually kick him out of the county yamen! And also, I must make him spit out all the people's fat and oil he's embezzled over the years!"
Spit it out and return it to the ordinary people of Shuyuan County? Of course not! Buy a few manors and a batch of high-quality maids for yourself, and live a good life with music and feasting every night!
"Yun'er, quick look, who's here? You're not always waiting for him to come, are you? Now he's here!" Zhang Da Guan Ren saw Zhang Yun come out and deliberately shouted loudly, actually it was he who sent someone to call her out, what a pitiful fatherly love!
Huo Hai couldn't help but look up and see that Zhang Yun was wearing a big peony flower on her head today, with a beautiful pink dress fluttering!
Compared to the white dress she wore that day, Huo Hai felt that Zhang Yun was even more stunning and charming today. He couldn't help but drool at the sight of her, and he finally understood why beauties in the 21st century loved wearing cheongsam!
"Father!" Zhang Da Guan's loud shout made Zhang Yun extremely embarrassed, and she shouted out in a delicate voice. Her eyes never left Huo Xiao's face, as if there was gold on his face!
Zhang Da and County Magistrate laughed at the scene, the former laughing at the perfect match between the talented scholar and the beauty, while the latter was laughing because the former was laughing!
"Oh, Lord Zhang and County Magistrate, I've brought some exotic treasures today. Please, sirs, try them out and I guarantee you'll feel like you're floating on air!" Huo Xiao thought it was time to present his gift.
