Chapter 316 What is it
Huo Xi didn't know that a disaster suddenly appeared and then disappeared suddenly.
After being busy for a few days, I went to the Boya School this afternoon to pick up Huo Nian.
A group of students who left school on time had already left the courtyard and went back to their homes, and the students who were detained in the hall were all gone. The door was deserted.
And now that Huo Nian has learned martial arts, he has to finish school an hour late every day. Huo Xi sat across from the school, resting his cheeks on his hands and thinking about something, while waiting for Huo Nian.
Not long after, several children ran out chasing after him.
Huo Xi glanced at the door and got up.
Huo Nian said goodbye to two good friends at the door, stretched his neck to look around, but didn't see his uncle, pouted his mouth, and just sighed, he saw his sister standing opposite him.
I was stunned, and pursed my lips.
Huo Xi walked towards him, Huo Nian moved his footsteps, then paused, lowered his head, rubbed the toe of his shoes on the ground, and drew circles.
After two steps away from him, Huo Xi stopped.
Huo Nian rubbed his little feet, feeling nervous. He lowered his head and waited for a long time, but he didn't see his sister coming. Thinking that his sister was gone again, he hurriedly looked up, only to see that his sister was still standing in front of him, very close to him, smiling at him.
Huo Nian's eyes turned red, and he rushed over, hugging Huo Xi's waist tightly.
Huo Xi felt uncomfortable, stroking his head, "Are you still angry with your sister?"
Huo Nian didn't speak, but shook his head after a while, and said in a low voice, "I'm not angry." Sniffing, his little head rubbed against Huo Xi's waist.
Huo Xi could feel the wet clothes around his waist.
took his hand, moved away, looked down at him, Pi Xiaozi was still hanging his head.
"Sister will take you into the inner city to eat delicious food, okay? And take you to listen to books and watch juggling?"
Huo Nian nodded happily, and looked up at her, his eyes were bright. Huo Xi laughed.
The two siblings took a carriage and entered the inner city.
After eating a delicious meal, I went to watch juggling and listen to books.
In the beautifully decorated tea shop, there are two-story tall wooden pavilions. The private rooms on the second floor are full of people, even those who have money can’t go up. There are clerks guarding the stairs. The two sides of the hall are made into verandas, surrounded by bamboo curtains on the left and right, and form a small room by itself. There are square tables and high chairs in the small room, and there are special staff serving tea.
There are only square tables and benches in the middle of the lobby. It was full of people.
Huo Xi and Huo Nian managed to find a place with Huo Nian, and competed at the table. The siblings ordered some tea and snacks, and sat down to listen to the book.
The storyteller in the hall plays several roles. He can also imitate the voices of various animals and different characters. He is a storyteller who is good at ventriloquism.
Huo Nian listened to his birds chirping, baby singing, his daughter's charming voice, and the thick and strong man's roaring. He was so stunned that he forgot to blink.
Until the storytelling break, Pi Xiaozi happily lay on top of his sister: "Sister, this storyteller is really good. Nian'er thought there were many people behind the scenes."
Piboy's eyes were shining brightly, and his joy was beyond words.
Huo Xi smiled, and pointed to the surroundings for him to look and observe.
"Look at that upstairs, there are noble people sitting in the private rooms, and the stairs are guarded by people, we can't go up even if we have money, that's a privilege of high status. Look at the two sides of the downstairs, the guys are respectful, nodding and bowing , look at this lobby again, is the guy's attitude towards us different?"
Huo Xi smiled, and patted his head: "This is the difference in status and treatment. If ordinary people like us rush to the second floor rashly, the nobles will beat us up. In the lobby downstairs, you Who are they sitting? Noble people will not sit with ordinary people like us."
There was a lot of noise around, Huo Xi quietly instructed Huo Nian to look and observe, instilling some concepts of family status and status into his little head.
After the storyteller took a break for a while, when he came on stage again, there was thunderous applause, which was still exciting, but Huo Nian lost the joy he had just now.
The two brothers and sisters left the tea shop, and at the door, they saw many nobles getting out of the carriages with the help of their servants. Seeing a nobleman kick over the vendor's stall, the stall owner dared not speak out, and even He kowtowed on his knees and begged for mercy.
Huo Nian was led away from the tea shop by his sister, looking back frequently as he walked.
He lowered his head all the way.
The two siblings found a cruise ship on the Neihe River. The scenery of the Qinhuai River remained the same, but Huo Nian didn't say a word.
"Although you are young, there are some things that you should understand. My sister told you before that in this era, people are divided into high and low levels, and you can't do whatever you want, even if you are right. In front of family rank, if people say you are wrong, you are wrong."
Huo Nian looked up at her.
"So we have to learn to restrain our edge. When we see those noble people, don't conflict with them, and avoid them when we can. When the time is right, we must learn to show weakness. Before we have the ability to protect ourselves, our current status is still no match for those noble people. Do you understand?"
Huo Nian nodded.
Seeing that he understood, Huo Xi patted him on the head: "Remember what my sister said, it's easy for a nobleman to punish us, but we don't have a place to reason. A thin arm can't twist a thigh, can it?"
Huo Nian nodded: "Sister, Nian'er has remembered. In the future, Nian'er will be a high-status person, so that people can't bully us casually."
Huo Xi was stunned for a while, "Okay, then you should work hard and be a person with a higher status."
"Yeah!" Huo Nian nodded firmly.
Two days later, Huo Xi took people to Wanxiang Tower. When he was about to enter the door, he turned his head and glanced at the other party. He had a face of a foreigner, and he spoke the local mandarin, with a few fluent words popping out of his mouth from time to time.
I don't know where Mu Yan found the character.
The two of them entered the Wanxiang Building, and were led into the elegant room by Pingniang's maid, where Wu Youcai and Pingniang had already sat.
This is the second time we met, we didn't test each other anymore, and got straight to the point.
Huo Xi took some jewelry, jade, ambergris and other spices, and Wu Youcai was very interested. But Wu Youcai disagreed with the exchange of a hundred bolts of cloud brocade and a boatload of official porcelain.
This guy has been in the Shibo Department for a while, but he is quite smart. The brocade is only for the officials, and all the officials have to wait for the emperor's reward if they want it. It has always been only used for the nobles among the officials, and for rewarding the officials and foreign envoys.
Now that the sea ban has been opened, if you buy it from Fanshangbo, you will also exchange some brocade for them, the quantity is not much.
Wu Youcai wanted what Huo Xi brought, but it wasn't worth a hundred pieces of brocade brocade or a boatload of official porcelain.
Huo Xi and Mu Yan's people looked at each other, took out a palm-sized white porcelain bottle from his arms, motioned for Pingniang to pour two cups of warm water, then twisted the caps, poured some into each cup, and stirred Stirred, pushed a cup in front of Wu Youcai.
Wu Youcai didn't move, he didn't dare to try something unknown.
Huo Xi and Mu Yan's men looked at each other, the man took up the cup without hesitation and drank it down, but Wu Youcai still didn't drink, so Pingniang said: "Master, can I give Pingniang a sip? My mouth is dry."
Wu Youcai nodded, and Pingniang picked up the cup and took a sip, her eyes lit up: "Sweet?"
Wu Youcai saw that the two of them had nothing to do after drinking, so he didn't feel disgusted, so he brought Pingniang over to drink the leftovers, smacked twice after drinking, and looked at the porcelain bottle in Huo Xi's arms: "What is that?"
