Fight the Giants Chapter 475

Chapter 475 Different siblings

Gong Fang and the others pondered the meaning of Huo Xi's words, and looked at the presents she brought on the table. The boxes, large and small, were stacked together, and the inside could not be seen clearly.

However, the two brocade horses that are specially rewarded by the inner palace and the court are particularly eye-catching.

Brilliant and colorful, as bright as the clouds in the sky, it made He Shi's eyes straighten.

This woman has a brocade from the imperial court!

It's not that the Gong family couldn't get Yunjin, but they didn't dare to take it out and wear it so carelessly. Although the merchants in this dynasty are still ranked last, their status is not low, and their children can still take the imperial examination. Many of their salt merchants have children who have entered the officialdom.

But there are many rules that merchants must abide by. For example, in the Taizu Dynasty, it was stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear silk, brocade and silk yarn, but only commoner clothes.

Their salt merchants are rich, so it's hard to pay for a few scholars. There are not a few people who donate officials. But the donated officials are all idlers, and it is not an easy task to get the brocade bestowed by the imperial court.

The He family re-examined Huo Xi.

Huo Xi, however, after learning that the He family had arranged for Gong Ziyi to marry Ping Jiangbo's family, he only regarded her as the mother of a brother with a different surname.

"These two pieces of brocade are gifts from Langguang Pavilion, and the others are thanks to my parents. Thanks to the care of the palace family, my family's shop in Huai'an has been able to open smoothly over the years. My daughter here Thanks again."

Got up again and performed a blessing ceremony.

Gong Ziyi took a good look at her.

Today she is extremely strange, so unfamiliar that it makes him panic.

Gong Fang sighed, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are so polite. I often heard Zi Yi talk about you. He was blind when he was young, and he regarded you as a stubborn younger brother. They are brothers and sisters with different surnames. Haha..."

Gong Ziyi frowned, looked at his grandfather, wanted to open his mouth, but was stopped by Gong Fang's gaze.

Gong Shuo also understood the meaning of the old father's words, he laughed and said: "No, my son has a wild nature, and the most impatient is that we restrain him. When we were young, we wanted him to go into an official career, so we forced him to read hard. I have read books for several years, but I never thought about it, and my brain was damaged by reading, and I mistaken Bijiao'e for a brother. Haha..."

Gong Fang also laughed: "It seems that the fate of different brothers and sisters has also been witnessed by the water of the Grand Canal."

Huo Xi stood up with a smile, and she was blessed: "Who said it wasn't? Thanks to my elder brother's care these years, my family's shops in Huai'an and Linqing, Yangzhou, etc. have been opened smoothly. My sister thanked my elder brother here."

Gong Fang looked at her with a smile, feeling pity in her heart for a while, and glanced at her grandson vaguely, maybe he really did something wrong.

This woman is worthy of his grandson.

Gong Ziyi couldn't believe it, Xi'er, why did you recognize him as a different brother?

"Xi'er..." hurriedly got up.

Huo Xi looked at him and smiled: "Brother, isn't he happy and silly? When I came here, I heard about the marriage between you and the girl from the Chen family. People in the city praised it, saying that you are a talented man and a beautiful woman, and a perfect match. My sister is here Congratulations bro."

Gong Ziyi's mind was buzzing, and he looked straight at her, as if he wanted to see her into the depths of his heart.

Did he hear wrong?

What did Xi'er say?

Standing behind Huo Xi, Nanny Ma breathed a sigh of relief. A noble girl is a noble girl, even if a girl lives in the market, she will not easily bow to others. The corners of the mouth tugged.

He's gaze never leaves Huo Xi, does this woman have no intentions of Yi'er? That's why he talked about Yi'er's marriage with other women so calmly, with a smile on his face.

Is it just a show? Or is it just that Yi'er is a good son-in-law candidate, and he will be caged first, and he will not be able to chew on it, and he will be called a brother and sister with different surnames, and want to climb into the palace family?

Huo Xi saw Gong Ziyi looking straight at him with an expression of astonishment, her heart twitched, and she lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.

Now that this matter is over, I don't plan to sit down any longer, so I got up: “My little girl heard that your family invited many guests today, so I won't bother you any more.”

Gong Fang felt remorse at this time, feeling that he might have missed an excellent candidate for the clan wife.

He tried his best to persuade him to stay: "I heard that you came, that's why Ziyi's mother invited some girls of the same age to introduce you to her. Your aunt sent someone to clean up an elegant courtyard. You can live at home and make your family happy. The sisters accompany me to spend a few more days in Huai'an to see the scenery."

Huo Xi politely refused: "No, there are too many things at home, and I'm afraid my parents will worry about it, so I'm going back."

Looking at Gong Ziyi again, "The next time my brother decides on an auspicious day, I will send someone to send an invitation to my younger sister. Then my younger sister will go to Huai'an to congratulate you."

Gong Ziyi hasn't come back to his senses yet, he can't make any reaction, he just moved along in a daze, as if he was stupid.

Gong Fang couldn't help feeling worried, and sighed deeply.

Seeing this woman, Mrs. He knows practical things well, and she doesn't play tricks or ask for favors. She had planned all kinds of things and prepared all kinds of countermeasures. She even invited famous ladies from various families to make her look ugly, but she didn't expect that The other party refused to accept the move at all, which made her a little uncomfortable.

Is this the end?

Fearing that she would be playing a show, afraid of pestering her later, she hurriedly said: "Oh, it's rare for you to come here. Although Huai'an is not as good as the capital city, it has many beautiful scenery. You might as well stay to see and play for a few more days. There are many of you around the same age at home today. My sisters, playing the piano, composing music, and reciting poems are just what you girls love to play, so Auntie will let someone take you there."

"No. It's been a long time since I've been out, so it's time to go back. Next time my brother's wedding date is fixed. If my aunt remembers my daughter, I can send someone to send a wedding invitation. I will definitely come to ask for a glass of water and wine." Smiling and turning around.

His family was a little taken aback.

Looked blankly at her walking out with a few servants.

"Xi'er!" Gong Ziyi raised his legs and chased after him like waking up from a big dream.

He Shi wanted to stop him, so he reached out to pull, but he only pulled air, and didn't get any corners of the clothes. Just about to call someone to call him back, Gong Fang and Gong Shuo stopped him.

"Yi Er has a sense of propriety." After Gong Fang finished speaking, she took a deep look in Huo Xi's direction, shook her head and sighed, and called her son to leave.

He stared blankly at the figure of his son chasing after him, then at the father-in-law and his own man who had gone away on the other side, and stopped at the entrance of the flower hall.

"Father, I think this Huo Xi is extremely outstanding. He is much better than the second daughter of the Chen family who came today. His words and deeds are dignified, and there is a hint of nobility..." I didn't expect him to be on a fisherman's daughter. I can see the nobility.

"You read that right, this woman is better than all the daughters who came here today. We were mistaken, we are used to judging people by their status, and we missed it for nothing..."

Gong Shuo understands what he missed in vain.

He could hear what his father had said. Thinking of his son's distraught appearance just now, Gong Shuo couldn't bear it.

"Since this woman is so outstanding, she looked calm and composed even before the collapse of Mount Tai, and she is also Yi'er's favorite person, so it's hard to get her heart. Is the Chen family..."

"Don't even think about it. Now that the wedding posts have been exchanged, this matter is a foregone conclusion."

Gong Fang restrained his son, and pondered again: "However, Zi Yi is not the only one in our family."

"Father wants to?"

Gong Fang nodded: "Now that she is willing to let go and recognize her elder brother, Zi Yi, I think this woman is not simple, and she may have a great fortune. Why don't you see if there is a suitable candidate in the family and decide on her."

Gong Fang didn't want to give up on such a good candidate for mistress.
