Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 418 Someone Convulsed
When Huo Jiu saw this battle, Erlang stopped crossing his legs.

In the entire Zhou Dynasty, there were not many people who could make Xiao Huai put down his body to accompany him, not to mention that he had never even met this young man.

"What's the origin?" He frowned.

He Lanzhun heard the words and looked over, and before he could see anything, Xiao Huai and his party had already arrived.

"This is Mr. He Lanzhun from our palace. This is the supervisor of the fixed prison, Mr. Huo Jiuhuo. ——This is Mr. Mei from Tanzhou. It's the first time to go to Beijing, He Lan, Huo Jiu, you guys get to know each other .”

Huo Jiu was full of doubts, he didn't know what this young man from a small place could do for them to entertain——

Well, he admitted that because of Xiao Huai's extraordinary enthusiasm and the fact that the uncle of the Shen family was also with him, this battle gave him some bad feelings and made him extremely bitter.

But he still stood up neatly and greeted Mei Qiying.

When Mei Qiying heard his name, she couldn't help but scrutinized him seriously, and then said respectfully: "Jiu Yang."

He Lanzhun also smiled and cupped hands with Mei Qiying: "Young Master Mei, please sit down."

The clever servants here quickly moved the seats and made tea, and several people sat around and exchanged greetings.

When He Lanzhun saw Mei Qiying's bookish appearance, he immediately understood what Xiao Huai meant by bringing him here to find him.

Although I don't know what his identity is, but since his elders are so appreciative, he can't help but cooperate.

Two lifetimes have made him very good at socializing with others, here Yang Qian is also a scholar, there are three people talking, not to mention Xiao Huai responding with a sentence or two from time to time, the scene is definitely not cold.

Huo Jiu usually doesn't give people face very much, he doesn't speak, and usually no one thinks there is anything wrong with him.

But because Mei Qiying was not familiar with him, Xu felt a little uncomfortable sitting here with such a person next to him.

Therefore, she smiled and said to Huo Jiu: "I have heard about the reputation of the supervisor, and I don't want to meet you here today. Qiying is really honored."

Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling face, Huo Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth, raised the cup to his mouth, and said, "I don't know if Mr. Mei and the Shen family are—"

Yang Qian said with a smile: "Lord Huo didn't know that Mr. Mei is our sister Yan's future husband-in-law."

Huo Chen just took a sip of tea, when he heard the sound of his fiancée son-in-law, the water immediately rushed into his throat, coughing repeatedly, and the water in the cup splashed on his body!
"Fiance... son-in-law?!"

Fortunately, with deep skill, he stabilized his body immediately after swinging two or three drops of tea.

Both He Lanzhun and Xiao Huai looked at him appreciatively.

Yang Qian called his servants: "Why don't you pass the handkerchief to your lord?"

Mei Qiying saw his appearance but could only speak silently.

Huo Jiu steadied himself desperately, took the handkerchief and wiped his lips, then cleared his throat and looked calmly at Mei Qiying, then at Yang Qian: "Is this the future third uncle of the Shen family? I'm sorry.

"But excuse me, why haven't I heard of it before?"

Both Xiao Huai and He Lanzhun squinted at him.

He poked his neck and looked frank.

"It's like this," Yang Qian looked back at Mei Qiying, and said, "Master Mei and Master Shen San are old friends with deep affection, and the two made a marriage contract many years ago.

"It's just that sister Yan is still young, and the Mei family is far away, so she doesn't move around very often, it's reasonable for Mr. Huo not to know.

"This time, the Mei family came to Beijing to discuss marriage on the occasion of Third Uncle's wedding."

Huo Jiu held his breath for a while, and said in a low voice, "So I haven't even seen him before."

Yang Qian was stunned.He looked at He Lanzhun, and He Lanzhun looked at Xiao Huai, who was just as dazed as he was.

Mei Qiying frowned indistinctly, but still said politely: "Although I haven't seen it before, but according to the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, Qiying attaches great importance to this marriage contract and respects the third girl."

Huo Jiu crossed his legs again, picked up the cup to drink tea, and while drinking, turned his head to look at the maple tree beside him, as if he didn't care much about it.

Although this demeanor looked at ease, it seemed a little impolite in front of Mei Qiying, a valued guest of the Shen family.

Mei Qiying felt that he did it on purpose.

Ever since Yang Qian revealed his identity, this Huo man was a bit weird, and seeing that he was very familiar in the Shen family, could it be that he often saw Shen Yan?
He glanced at him silently, took a sip of tea, then raised his eyes and said: "The Shen family has a close relationship with the palace, presumably Mr. Huo has often seen the third girl?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Huai started to look at him with admiration.

If Huo Jiu's previous reaction was pure convulsion, then why did Mei Qiying's words smell like gunpowder?

He looked at He Lanzhun who was facing him, and He Lanzhun shook his big folding fan and laughed coquettishly.

"It's not a common meeting either."

Huo Jiu looked back slowly, crossed his legs while holding the teacup, flicked his fingers on his calves and said, "It's just that I take her to handle cases occasionally, and I happen to meet up for dinner or something.

"By the way, a few days ago, she sent the doctor to treat my injury, and she helped me to beat me by the way, and she was busy most of the night.

"I can't help it. I'm soft-hearted. As long as she calls me Brother Huo, I'll be fine. Mr. Mei won't mind, right? You won't have any bad opinion of her because of this, right?
"After all, the young master and Yan'er only have a verbal engagement, and they haven't engaged in three matches and six engagements. If my unintentional mistake causes you to misunderstand, then I will be guilty."

If he minds this kind of thing, then he is a small belly, and if he dares to misunderstand something, then he is suspicious!
What qualifications does a small belly and suspicious person have to marry a wife?Anyway, there is no official matchmaker, so those who are sensible should quickly withdraw from the engagement!
He was still sipping his tea slowly, with neither salty nor mild expression on his face, that frightened cruel official.

Mei Qiying leaned back in the chair, her eyes were a little hesitant.

Although he may not be obsessed with this fiancée whom he has never met, it is a matter of a man's dignity, so there is no ambiguity.

Just now he noticed that this person had a strange expression, but now that he thinks about it, he is afraid that it is almost the same as his guess.

He glanced lightly at the opposite side and said: "I have heard about Mr. Huo's reputation for a long time, and my fiancée can receive a lot of care from him, which not only shows that the adults are far more friendly than the rumors, but also shows that my parents and mother have great vision, and Qiying is lucky.

"Since the third girl regards the adult as her elder brother, when Qiying and the third girl get married in the future, it is necessary to invite the adult to appreciate him."

The words were neither humble nor overbearing, not only did Huo Jiu irony back, but also defended Shen Yan, and even stated his position calmly.

Xiao Huai used to feel that he was ashamed of arguing with He Lanzhun, but now he couldn't help feeling a little bit of admiration for this heavenly brother-in-law!

He Lanzhun also stopped his fan.

Huo Jiu's face turned a little green.

He leaned back in the chair, held the cup and smiled lightly: "Mr. Mei is indeed a glorious man."

Mei Qiying raised her lips: "Master Huo is also unexpectedly warm-hearted."
