Chapter 267 Gift Giving



"General Huo, if you want to go and take a look, you can go with us." Han Xiao stepped forward at this time.

General Huo waved his hand: "No, I... I'm not suitable. When I was at the border, I heard people say that people with murderous sins are not suitable to see children..."

General Huo's tone was low and his body looked a little hunched.

Han Xiao sighed. He didn't believe this at all. Moreover, if there really was an evil spirit, then General Huo had killed those who deserved to be killed. There would always be casualties when two countries went to war.

In this case, all these generals in the past dynasties should have no descendants.

Seeing General Huo's lost look, Han Xiao also felt uncomfortable, but Han Xiao had no choice but to hesitate and say: "General Huo, I don't think Ruanruan will care about these things."

General Huo's expression brightened slightly when Ruan Ruan was mentioned. He rubbed his hands and asked uncertainly, "Really?"

Han Xiao nodded seriously. Neither he nor Ruanruan cared about this.

"These are the gifts I gave to Ruanruan and the child. Take them to Ruanruan and see if he likes them. If he doesn't like them, I'll ask someone to replace them."

General Huo had the things brought over. There were more than a dozen full boxes, filling up the entire main hall.

Han Xiao was stunned: "This... all of these?"

General Huo opened the box. He still looked a little dissatisfied: "These are all the spoils I collected. The good stuff was sent to the palace. These are the only ones left..."

What do you mean these are all that’s left? Han Xiao looked at General Huo with envy and jealousy.

It turns out that making money from war is the easiest. He thought General Huo was poor, but it seems that he is the one who is poor.

Han Xiao curiously looked through the valuables in the box. Most of them were jewelry, and some antiques and collectibles.

Han Xiao even saw a huge night-shining pearl, which would be worth tens of millions in modern times.

Now in the mouth of General Huo, it has become something worthless.

"This is too valuable. General, you wouldn't empty out the General's Mansion, would you?"

Han Xiao made a joke, neither too big nor too small.

General Huo looked at Han Xiao with an inexperienced look before saying casually, "No, these are just the spoils I took. I haven't given away any other rewards."

It’s not that General Huo doesn’t want to give it out, but the emperor’s rewards are usually shops, manors, etc., which are not suitable for the young master.

Anyway, General Huo gave all the gifts he could to the young master.

Han Xiao was secretly amazed when he heard this. General Huo was too generous.

After asking Xing Yi to carry all the things down and register them, Han Xiao took the somewhat nervous General Huo to the backyard.

General Huo kept adjusting his clothes while walking on the road.

Fortunately, I didn’t wear armor today, just a relatively comfortable set of clothes.

Seeing General Huo's nervous expression, Han Xiao touched his nose and said, "Don't worry, General Huo. There's no need to be so nervous."

Han Xiao's words had no effect. General Huo coughed twice and said, "Have you chosen a name for the child? If not..."

"My nickname is Chao Chao, and my grandfather will choose my full name."

Han Xiao knew what General Huo meant as soon as he spoke. Fortunately, he took the initiative and chose a nickname for the child in advance?

Otherwise, with so many famous elders in the family, Han Xiao really wouldn't like to name someone else.

By handing over the name to Mr. Qinghe, Han Xiao believed that no one would dare to snatch the job from Mr. Qinghe.

"Mr. Qinghe...that's good...very good..." General Huo said it was good, but there was inevitably some disappointment in his tone.

Han Xiao pretended not to hear and continued to lead General Huo into the courtyard.

Because Ruanruan had just given birth and needed quiet, almost all the staff in the hospital were sent out by Han's mother.

Only Chuyi and Chushiwu were left, along with Madam Ruan and the wet nurse, and Han Xiao, who were more than enough to look after the young master.

General Huo didn't understand the twists and turns. When he came in and saw how deserted it was, he said to Han Xiao with some dissatisfaction, "Why are there so few servants?"

Han Xiao was stunned. He didn't expect General Huo to notice this. Han Xiao said softly, "Ruanruan doesn't like too much noise, so let them all go out."

Also, Han Xiao didn't dare tell General Huo that the young master's identity was almost exposed now, with only a thin layer of window paper missing.

For the safety of the young master and Xiao Chaochao, everyone in this yard was carefully selected by Han Xiao.

After all, the child is still young and can easily be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

"Is that so? However, Ruanruan's background is a problem. Tomorrow I will ask Xinyan to bring a few people to guard here. Don't worry, they are all my people."

General Huo was afraid that Han Xiao would disagree, so he emphasized this?

Han Xiao certainly wouldn't disagree when someone came to visit: "Sure, I just happened to be looking for some security guards. We just arrived in the capital and I'm not familiar with this place. General Huo, this has solved my urgent need."

General Huo knew that Han Xiao was just being polite, but he was still very satisfied.

"Well, take a look tomorrow. If you're not satisfied, I'll send you a few more people. These people were all trained by me."

"Then I'll have to trouble General Huo." Han Xiao said with a bow.

"Okay, take me in to see the child."

Ruanruan is a little boy, so it’s not appropriate to go and see him at this time.

So it’s enough for General Huo to go and see Xiao Chaochao?

When I walked into the room, I happened to see the nanny coming back with Xiao Chaochao in her arms.

"My Lord!" the wet nurse wanted to speak.

"Where's Chaochao? Is he asleep?" Han Xiao reached out to hold the child.

Watching Han Xiao's actions, the wet nurse was worried, fearing that Han Xiao would accidentally throw Chao Chao out.

Seeing that Chao Chao was still not very skilled, General Huo held him over with disdain: "Get out of the way and let me do it..."

As he said that, he snatched Chao Chao away.

Han Xiao looked at General Huo in surprise. He didn't expect that General Huo, a rough man, could be so professional in holding the child.

"You have to hold him like this, you know? Your arms should hold the child's head like this... so he feels safe."

General Huo was teaching personally, and Han Xiao was stunned. It was too professional.

Mrs. Ruan didn't explain it in such detail at the beginning.

"General Huo, you are so amazing! You can even hold a child..."

When the wet nurse handed the child to Han Xiao, Xiao Chaochao groaned and almost started crying.

After being coaxed by General Huo, Xiao Chaochao yawned, shook his little head and looked at him straight.

It was as if he wanted to know who the handsome uncle holding him was.

General Huo looked at the child's clear eyes and felt his heart melt.
