It’s all the fault of that damn girl Huo Xinyan. Without her, would I have been able to scare the young master?
General Huo tried his best to soften his expression and wanted to smile at the young master.
But he was often seen without smiling, and had long forgotten how to treat others gently.
The young master was no longer afraid. He was even a little curious about General Huo. However, looking at General Huo's distorted expression, the young master didn't know what he meant for a moment.
However, after hearing General Huo blaming Huo Xinyan, the young master no longer hesitated and slowly moved in front of General Huo and said softly, "General Huo, I'm sorry, I asked Sister Xinyan to pick plum blossoms for me because I wanted them. Please don't blame her."
When General Huo heard the young master's voice, his heart softened. Looking at his face, he remembered the high-spirited Su Yun. It was a pity that he did not see his child grow up.
"It's okay. Do you want plum blossoms? Uncle Huo will pick the most beautiful one for you, okay?" General Huo's voice trembled slightly.
The palms hanging at both sides were clenching and unclenching nervously, and he seemed a little helpless.
Han Xiao found it funny. He didn't expect that Lord Huo, who looked very serious, would be so reserved in front of the young master.
The young master is simple, kind and cute. He was a little scared when he first saw General Huo, but now seeing his cautious look, he feels very close to him.
He raised his bright and lovely little face and said sweetly, "Okay, General Huo, I want the one on the top."
Looking in the direction of the young master's finger, the plum blossom was at the top. Because they came so suddenly, Huo Xinyan did not pick it down.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll fold it for you right away."
After saying this, General Huo walked to the side of the plum tree with firm steps as if he was about to do something important.
Then he jumped lightly onto the plum tree. The plum tree shook and a lot of snow fell.
Han Xiao was jealous. It seemed that General Huo was still as skilled as ever. Then he estimated the fighting power between himself and General Huo. There was no comparison at all. With the two moves he learned from Ruan Xiuran, he would probably be beaten to a pulp by General Huo.
Han Mingyuan was startled by General Huo's sudden action. He exclaimed and quickly pushed Han Xiao to ask him to help General Huo down.
General Huo is over 40 years old, and it would be troublesome if any problems occurred in their family.
Han Xiao shook his head calmly and said, "Dad, don't worry. This little thing won't be difficult for General Huo, you see."
Han Mingyuan then looked over and saw that General Huo had indeed picked all the plum blossoms. Not only the one that the young master wanted, but also other beautiful plum blossoms. An entire beautiful plum tree was almost plucked bare by General Huo.
The young master took it and happily held up a large bunch of plum blossoms to show off to Han Xiao, then smiled sweetly at General Huo and said, "Thank you, General Huo."
General Huo's eyes were filled with unconcealed fondness. He wanted to reach out and touch the young master's head, but was afraid of scaring him. So he could only pretend to be serious and said, "Your father and I are brothers. You should call me Uncle Huo."
"My father?" The young master tilted his head and looked at General Huo, not knowing for a moment which father he was talking about.
Seeing the young master's puzzled look, General Huo was silent for a moment before continuing, "He's your biological father. You... look a lot like him."
They look about 70% similar, but their personalities are completely different. Thinking of the young master's father, General Huo felt lost.
Feeling General Huo's loss, the young master sensibly grabbed General Huo's big hand and placed it on his head: "Uncle Huo, my husband said that you and my father are good friends, so I should call you Uncle Huo."
General Huo's eyes were red now. He trembled as he touched the young master's head and said softly, "If your father were still alive, he would be very happy to see you like this."
Han Xiao watched General Huo holding onto the young master's hand tightly, and with a hint of jealousy, he took the plum blossom from the young master's hand and pulled the young master into his arms: "General Huo, let me help Ruanruan put the plum blossom on first, otherwise it will wilt later."
When the young master heard this, he thought so and quickly said something to General Huo and took Han Xiao's hand and walked into the room.
Huo Xinyan rolled his eyes in an indecent manner after hearing this. Please, Han Xiao, can't you find a better excuse?
This plum blossom can survive for a while even if it is not placed in water. This trick can only fool the naive young master.
General Huo also looked at Han Xiao with dissatisfaction. Ever since he met the young master, he had disliked Han Xiao.
This is probably what it means when a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law and gets angrier and angrier.
Han Xiao took away the cabbage that he had carefully grown, even the pot.
It’s all his fault that he has been staying at the border. It would be better if he could come back earlier.
General Huo thought with great regret.
Han Mingyuan invited General Huo to the main hall to wait for Han Xiao. It was windy and cold outside, and the young master couldn't stay outdoors all the time.
A pot of hot tea was boiled and the maids brought some fruits and nuts.
Huo Xinyan had never seen such a way of drinking tea before. She asked curiously, "Uncle Han, what is this?"
Han Mingyuan poured tea for the two of them and said, "This was something Han Xiao came up with. It's called Wei Lu (Heartfelling Fire), and I think it's quite novel. Ruan Ruan also likes it, so I often make some. You guys can try it and see if it suits your taste."
"This method is quite interesting. I'll try it too." Huo Xinyan picked up a cup. Because it was boiling hot tea, she opened her red lips slightly to blow away the hot air, and then took a small sip.
Huo Xinyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Good tea, I didn't expect that drinking tea this way would have such a unique flavor."
Han Mingyuan said with a smile: "If Xinyan likes it, you can take one set of these tea sets away later."
"Is this...too expensive?" Huo Xinyan said with some embarrassment.
She was very surprised when Han Mingyuan took out the tea set just now. She had never seen such a transparent tea set before.
Huo Xinyan grew up in the border area, so he didn't know much about these "luxury goods".
But looking at the texture, you can tell it's worth a lot of money.
"It's okay. I have plenty of these tea sets at home. Han Xiao opened a shop called Qihuoju that specializes in selling these. I'm your elder, so don't refuse gifts from elders."
Hearing what Han Mingyuan said, Huo Xinyan looked at General Huo.
General Huo didn't know how to drink tea. He just thought the tea tasted good, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
He knew even less about things like tea sets. Although he knew they were valuable, General Huo had been fighting for so many years. What kind of rare treasures had he not seen?
He immediately said, "Since it was given to you by your Uncle Han, then you can serve as his subordinate."
