Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

After returning to the Xu family, Huo Yunchao discussed with Xu Ning: "Mother Ning, my father doesn't want my stepmother to be wronged. After thinking about it, I think that is not a good idea. But I haven't figured out what to do to solve this problem. thing."

Xu Ning said: "Ms. sir, my stepmother treats us sincerely, and we really shouldn't let her get a bad reputation. Outsiders don't care whether her stepmother has done anything bad to you or not. Just listen to the wind and it will be rain. Even if you give it to your stepmother afterwards, Mom’s clarification is actually of little use, outsiders will only remember Pinglehou’s stepmother for treating him poorly.”

The response ideas provided by Zheng Shaoxuan are okay, but it is wrong for Huo Yunchao to apply them mechanically. Just because the stepmother Chen is not a villain, he cannot achieve his goal at the expense of Chen's reputation.

"Yes, I didn't think well. I thought of a saying in the book that says, "To capture the thief first, capture the king." I came up with an idea, but I don't know if it's good or not. Ning Niang, can you help me with the sentence? "

Huo Yunchao expressed his thoughts: "Ning Niang, what do you think?"

Xu Ning thought for a while and asked: "Ms. sir, do you mean to find someone who can control your uncle, so that he can stay at home for the rest of his life and never come around to make trouble in front of us again? The question is, who can take the responsibility? Is this such an important task?"

Huo Yunchao felt that he had dug a big hole for himself, "Well, this is the problem. I can't figure it out, so I plan to bring something to Xu Lizheng and the old patriarch to ask. If it were in the past, I wouldn't care It doesn’t matter whether you are famous or not, just do it!”

He truly felt what it meant to be "burdened by fame." He had to protect his reputation, otherwise he would have an ugly fight with his uncle and it would be difficult for him to do his promotion work.

Xu Ning comforted him and said, "Xiang

Gong, the old patriarch is well-informed and Xu Li is a practical person. The two of them can definitely help solve the problem. "

"I hope so."

Huo Yunchao really wanted to break the pot and use his identity as Pinglehou to intimidate him, so as to prevent his good uncle from giving him any trouble.

Apart from the bad reputation of such a simple and crude method, Huo Yunchao really couldn't think of a second disadvantage.

Huo Yunchao walked in front, followed closely by Zhou Changxing carrying two baskets.

The old patriarch of the Huo family was thinking of risking his face and going to the Xu family to persuade Huo Yunchao to join the family tree, but he never thought that Huo Yunchao would come to him first.

"Greetings to Marquis Pingle!"

Huo Yunchao was stunned on the spot. When he realized what he was doing, he immediately rushed over to help the old patriarch who was about to kneel down and worship him. He broke out in a cold sweat and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it! Old patriarch, get up! You are trying to shorten my life." !”

Patriarch Huo said with a smile: "Chao'er, you are the Marquis of Pingle who has been personally conferred by the Holy Emperor. I, a common man with a flat head, must pay tribute to you."

Huo Yunchao is the best at sweet talk: "Old patriarch, we are our own family, and we do not like this set of false etiquette. If we really pay attention to etiquette, we will pay more attention to it outside. Behind closed doors, my most important identity is that of the descendant of the Huo family, your junior."

Patriarch Huo was so coaxed that he beamed with joy. After chatting for a while, he went straight to the topic: "Chao'er, you are so busy at work, why do you suddenly come to your door? Are you encountering any problems? Tell me, maybe I can help you. Bundle."

Huo Yunchao expressed his distress with a distressed look on his face: "Old patriarch, my dear uncle heard false news from nowhere. He came to my father's house every now and then to cause trouble, and even pushed my stepmother down and injured her. My stepmother treat

I'm not bad, I'm holding fire in my heart, but I can't get angry at my dear uncle. I was wondering if there was any way to make my good uncle stay at home and stop bothering me when he had nothing to do? "

Patriarch Huo heard what Huo Yunyao mentioned, but he didn't expect that Huo Yunchao would come to him about this matter. He thought for a while and said: "Chao'er, you may not have changed your identity yet. You, Pinglehou, are a dignified person." Mr. Marquis, a big shot! You can make your uncle's Li Zheng handle things properly for you with just one word! Why do you need to worry about it? "

Huo Yunchao's eyes lit up and he slapped his thigh: "Yes! I am Pinglehou! Why do I always think that I am a defenseless commoner who can be bullied by everyone? Old patriarch, thank you for your guidance!"

Patriarch Huo had mixed feelings in his heart, and he brought up old things again: "Chao'er, I know you don't want to break your promise, but you are now the Marquis of Pingle and have the right to change your identity. Do you really still want to be the son-in-law of the Xu family? husband?"

Huo Yunchao answered half-truth: "Yes. Old patriarch, the time given by the Holy Father to me to promote sweet potatoes is not very long. I have to maintain a good reputation, otherwise the promotion work will be difficult to carry out. After all, there is a lot of land that can be planted. If you plant it, Sweet potatoes will inevitably reduce the planting of other crops. Old patriarch, not many people are willing to risk losing money to open up wasteland to grow sweet potatoes. If my reputation is not good, then not many people will be willing to grow sweet potatoes with me."

It's not that he is stubborn and stubborn, but that his identity as the son-in-law of the Yong'an Emperor has passed the clear path of Emperor Yong'an. It's not that he just doesn't want to be the son-in-law of the Xu family.

Patriarch Huo's eyes lit up, as if he had found a way to persuade Huo Yunchao to change his father-in-law.

The way to become a son-in-law: "Chao'er, you are wrong. The common people don't have so many ideas. They are willing to believe whoever gives them food. You don't know how famous your reputation is among the people. How can you do it because of this? A small thing to ruin your reputation?"

Huo Yunchao did not give Patriarch Huo any illusions that he shouldn't have, and said: "Old Patriarch, alas, I didn't want to speak too frankly, for fear that the walls would have ears and people would overhear. But I have to make it clear to you. Before the Holy One gave me the title of Marquis Pingle, he must have sent many people to investigate my background. It is impossible for me to change my identity, and I cannot change it. If I make a mistake, it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor! The crime of deceiving the emperor is to destroy the nine tribes. !”

"Destroy the nine tribes?"

Patriarch Huo was startled. He stared at Huo Yunchao, trying to catch any evidence on Huo Yunchao's face that he was lying. Unfortunately, there was no evidence.

"Chao'er, are you really trying to scare me?"

Huo Yunchao shook his head and said: "Old patriarch, how dare I scare people with such a fatal thing? I didn't want to say it at first. The less people know about this, the better. However, I trust the old patriarch, you will definitely not Talking about it to outsiders.”

Patriarch Huo's eyes were dull. He didn't regain his composure until Huo Yunchao said goodbye and left. "Alas, there is a Pingle Marquis in the Huo family. It's really smoke coming out of the ancestral grave. It's a pity..."

This piece of blue smoke fell on someone else's house.

Too bad, so bad!

Huo Yunchao walked out of Patriarch Huo's house with relaxed and cheerful steps, and praised his wit: once and for all!

Patriarch Huo won't persuade him to repent and stop being the Xu family's son-in-law in the future, right?

Huo Yunchao felt rebellious deep in his heart.

He is so excited that he is like a child in the second grade of middle school who insists on confronting everyone's parents in order to show how capable he is.

Ahem, of course, Huo Yunchao would not admit it.
