Fight the Giants

  Chapter 473 is a foregone conclusion

  When Huo Xi arrived in Huai'an, he was not in a hurry to come to the door. Instead, I found an inn by the pier to stay and checked the shop first.

  Business Manager Niu treated her arrival with the same thoughtfulness as when meeting his own mother.

   These days have tortured him enough, with ups and downs, and his mood fluctuates. If his own shop had an affair with the Gong family, he would have to find some hard relationships. He was busy these days, entertaining guests and giving gifts without stopping for a moment.

  Huo Xi expressed satisfaction with his work, encouraged him to check it out, gave him some rewards, and sent some gifts to his family. Everyone took care of it.

   Shopkeeper Niu is very grateful. It is one thing for him to be willing to work hard, but it is another thing for his hard work to be recognized and reused by his boss.

   "Boss, the Gong family has an unclear attitude towards us now, so we can't just point at the Gong family, we need to find a few more thighs."

  Like this time, being pinched by the Gong family's neck, unable to buy or ship the goods, and unable to get the money back, that feeling is so **** uncomfortable.

  Business Manager Niu wants to hug a few more thighs now. If the flowers are not blooming here, he hopes that there will be flowers in the other place.

  Huo Xi nodded, "Just go to the social gatherings. All the money you need will be recorded in the account, and the business will support reasonable expenses."

   "Yes." The boss is generous, and the people working below are naturally willing to work harder.

  Huo Xi lived by the pier for two days, and only entered Huai'an City after investigating all the affairs of the shop. While preparing to deliver greetings to the Gong family, he stayed in an inn in the city and inquired about the Gong family's news.

The information she had inquired about the Gong family before was not complete, and she did not expect to be married to the Gong family before, and she didn't care about the palace's personnel affairs, what kind of temper the patriarch is, what are Gong Ziyi's parents, and the Gong family is in the city. What kind of reputation is it? I don't know all of these, and now it's time to learn more about it.

   And when Huo Xi arrived in Huai'an, Gong Ziyi also learned that his mother had told him about the marriage of Uncle Pingjiang and Chen's family.

   It exploded on the spot.

   "Why did the mother make an appointment for the son without asking what he meant?"

  He knew his son's attitude early on, and he wasn't afraid that he would know.

   "How many people want to get married in the Uncle Pingjiang's mansion, and line up with generous gifts, but they can't see Mrs. Uncle. If it wasn't for your aunt and her to get married, it would be your turn?"

   "My son is not rare. Didn't the mother say that she wanted to ask her what she meant? Why did the decision be made in such a hurry? Where did the mother put the son?" Gong Ziyi looked at He Shi, as if meeting her for the first time.

He Shi was dissatisfied with his attitude: "Children's marriage is always the order of the parents. The matchmaker's words, I was willing to ask you before because I saw that you were obedient and sensible, but you wanted to marry a young lady from a famous family. Girl, how can I let you go!"

   "Mother, although her family is small, my son is marrying a wife, not the other party's family."

   "The marriage of two surnames is of course based on the family. Do you think the nobles will bow their heads to marry the common people? Will the good people marry the low-class craftsmen?"

Gong Ziyi closed his eyes. He felt that he couldn't make sense with his mother, and tried to reason: "She is more capable than ordinary women from wealthy families. Didn't my grandfather say that our clan's wife only looks at ability? Marrying a concubine , how to take charge of Zhongfu and preside over sect affairs?"

"How do you know that the daughter of the Chen family can't do it? Besides, your mother and I are in good health, and I can live for another few decades. I can teach her by hand. If not, I will personally find a good grandson for my grandson in the future." Daughter-in-law, no matter how bad it is, your sister-in-law will take care of it, so you don't have to worry about it."

  As long as they can climb up to the Chen family, the affairs of the family can fall to their house.

   Gong Ziyi felt powerless.

   It was he who got married, but he couldn't do anything about it. The clan wife depends on her character and ability, and now she has to choose the family of the clan wife first. Character and ability are all ignored.

   "Since that's the case, let Ziyan marry him back. You can do whatever you like." She shook her sleeves and left.

  He Shi was in a hurry, so he immediately ordered people to watch over the mansion and not let him go out.

  Gong Ziyi lay flat directly.

   You should eat and drink, but if you want him to cooperate in seeing each other, you will not cooperate in discussing relatives.

  The He family had nothing to do with him, except for the Tang family who evaded many family affairs, and the son was shy, so the two mistresses directly exchanged the Geng Tie and settled the marriage between Gong Ziyi and Chen Jingci, the second daughter of the Chen family.

  When Gong Fang knew about it, he only sighed, and said that he and his wife were in charge, and then left him alone.

  When Huo Xi was visiting Huai'an City, Tayue and Mama Ma also split up to inquire about the Gong family's news in the city.

  In just one day, news of the marriage between the eldest grandson of the Gong family and Uncle Pingjiang's Chen family reached Huo Xi's ears.

  The main thing is that the Gong family didn't want to hide it. Being able to board the big ship Ping Jiangbo and make the Gong family even more powerful is the time to show off and spread the word. He Shi didn't want anything to go wrong, and even publicized this marriage to everyone.

  In order to express his satisfaction with this marriage, He Shi also sent the most precious jewelry from his dowry to his future daughter-in-law, expressing her fancy.

   Mama Momo and Tayue are both good scouts for news. When they came back with two servant girls after inquiring a lot of news, seeing Huo Xi's strange silence, they were both worried.

   "Girl, are you alright?" Seeing that Huo Xi didn't say a word, Vanilla and Xia He almost cried, the girl must be very sad.

  Huo Xi smiled at them and shook his head.

   She came late.

   Didn't expect that the Gong family would avoid her so much, they hadn't settled on Gong Ziyi's marriage for more than ten or twenty years, and they decided on his marriage in just a short period of time.

  For the first time, Huo Xi experienced the frustration that her identity brought her.

   "Mommy, is the other party negotiating marriage or has already placed a Geng Tie."

  Nurse Ma replied: "The gengtie has already been posted."

  Huo Xi clenched his fists.

Mother Ma looked at her very worriedly, and sighed: "Pingjiang Bojian is in the emperor's heart, and he is valued by the emperor. He entrusted the water affairs of the seven provinces to him, and he has great trust in him. No one can compare to him family. Now the Gong family has engaged with the Chen family... Miss, this matter is fixed and cannot be changed."

  Even if the girl showed her identity to speak out, it would be too late. The Gong family would not be willing to offend Uncle Pingjiang for the sake of the girl's hidden identity.

  The girl and the young master of the Gong family have nothing to do with each other.

  Huo Xi locked himself in the room for a day, and felt powerless.

  Although her fate was bad when she was young, she was favored by God. Although she was hard-working along the way, everything she did was smooth and satisfactory, but this one thing was unexpectedly unsuccessful.

  She didn't expect that status and family status are so important. No matter how much money she earns and how many skills she learns, she will still be despised by people in front of her family status.

  Nurse Ma, Xiang Cao and the others didn’t sleep well all night, and stayed in the next room. When they heard movement in the next room the next day, they hurried over to serve them.

   "Nurse, did you get a reply to the invitation to the Gong family?"

   "Yes, girl, a servant sent it here this morning."

  Huo Xi nodded: "Okay, let's get ready, let's visit the palace."

   "Girl?" Young Master Gong is already engaged, so why does the girl come to the door? Vanilla doesn't want to come to people to see jokes.

   "It's okay, let's get ready.

   Happy National Day everyone, friends who go out, please pay attention to protection. Thank you very much for your great support last month. If I have time during the holidays, I will make more updates. But the update time may not be certain, first ensure two updates, and update more if you have time
