After leaving the Mix company, Bai Zhenzhen followed Huo Xiang back to Huo's house.
Although Huo Xiang had been vaccinated with Bai Zhenzhen in advance, she was psychologically prepared.But as soon as he entered the gate of the yard, Bai Zhenzhen couldn't help his eyes widening when he saw more than 20 servants standing in two rows, male and female, and bowing to them.
"Welcome young master and young lady home!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
Bai Zhenzhen's apple muscles were trembling.
Huo Xiang lowered her head, approached her ears and whispered: "Don't worry, these are just servants in the yard, there are more than a hundred in them."
Bai Zhenzhen: "..."
It is really hard to imagine that there is such a manor with an area of more than 100 acres in the most prosperous part of the city center.And here is the location of the Huo family’s old house, not only the well-preserved ancient buildings, but also newly built high-rise villas.
The only way to enter the villa is to pass through the courtyard full of flowers and plants.
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen felt like he was in a botanical garden at a tourist attraction.
"Snee--" Too much pollen impact made Bai Zhen really unable to hold back a sneeze.
It was too late, and then suddenly, a servant rushed out and wrapped a silk scarf printed with the brand logo around Bai Zhenzhen’s neck, and carefully warned: "Madam, be careful of cold!"
The weather is already hot, how can I stand it with a silk scarf?Bai Zhenzhen immediately took off the silk scarf and explained to the person: "Thank you, but I am not because of the cold, but because the smell of these flowers is too pungent..."
"Okay, let's shovel these flowers now." The servant replied.
Bai Zhenzhen was really dumbfounded, and he was stunned for a while, until he saw a few gardeners coming over with hoes, and then he realized.
"Such beautiful flowers and plants! Don't hurt them!" Bai Zhenzhen waved his hand in a hurry.
The servant who took the lead replied respectfully: "Young lady, the old man has ordered, we must fully comply with your wishes, and everything is subject to your instructions."
"...But I didn't let you destroy these plants."
"Because the young lady can't stand the fragrance of flowers, these flowers must never exist again!"
"I can bear it!" Bai Zhenzhen responded hurriedly, "I just sneezed suddenly, but it smells pretty good..."
Squeezing a cold sweat while speaking.
The servants gave up, bowed again, and silently retreated.
Bai Zhenzhen said to Huo Xiang: "Unexpectedly, I still have the power to control thousands of lives."
"How about it, cool?!" Huo Xiang glanced at her.
Bai Zhen really said: "What's so good about this? It's these innocent lives, how pitiful, although they are so beautiful in full bloom, but they can't decide their own destiny, it's really pitiful, pee pee..."
As soon as the voice fell, Huo Xiang's system made a sound.
——System: "Ding~The heroine's happiness value +2."
——Huo Xiang: "...Women are really duplicity animals."
** **
Bai Zhenzhen and Huo Xiang walked through the flower corridor and came to the door of the villa.As soon as the door opened, two rows of servants shouted slogans together.
And Uncle Cai, the housekeeper, was standing between the two rows of servants, looking at them with a smile.
"Young master, young lady, you are back. The old man has been waiting for you for a long time." As he said, he led the two of them to the left through the lobby and came to another magnificent hall.
Elder Huo was sitting on the court sofa reading the newspaper at this time, and when he heard the movement, he slowly stood up.
"Really! My dear grandson-in-law, you are finally back--" Old man Huo was overjoyed and was about to go to Bai Zhenzhen.
Bai Zhen really hurriedly walked over, took the hand of Huo's hand, and smiled happily: "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you too!"
"Grandpa too! I can remember you in my heart!" Old Huo looked at Bai Zhenzhen a few times, his brows suddenly frowned, "Really, why are you thinner? Huo Xiang didn't take care of you?!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Huo Xiang pretentiously and cast a scrutiny gaze at him.
"Grandpa, wronged! I can't wait to hold Zhenzhen into my hand, how could I not take good care of her!" Huo Xiang grievedly responded.
He walked between Mr. Huo and Bai Zhenzhen, he just put his hand on the hands of the two of them, and continued: "Also, girls are a bit thinner and look good. Which girl doesn't want to be thinner! This shows that I let him Really dream come true!"
"It's just that you're good at talking!" Old Huo yelled.
"Of course, my grandfather is a business genius, let alone anything else, the negotiation ability is first-rate! I just inherited a little bit of fur!" Huo Xiang replied solemnly.
These flattering words made Old Huo very happy, he was already laughing cheerfully from ear to ear.
Bai Zhenzhen said: "Grandpa, have you been waiting for a long time? Or let's eat first and talk while eating."
Only then did Elder Huo remember the meal, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"
** **
The three came to the restaurant together.
At this moment, Bai Zhenzhen felt that he had walked a long distance again.She couldn't help but turn on the phone and took a look-good fellow, it took her an entire hour from entering the gate of the yard to arriving at this 100-square-meter restaurant!!
The long tables in this restaurant are even more exaggerated. Looking from the nearest end, you can't see the face of the servant standing at the farthest end.
"Come on, sit beside Grandpa, don't be too far away from Grandpa."
Old man Huo spoke, and the servant hurriedly moved the two mahogany chairs inlaid with rubies to the sides of one end of the long table.Bai Zhenzhen squinted his eyes and saw that the seat was close, but it only occupies one-tenth of the table top and nine-tenths of the area left, which is completely unused!
After sitting down, the chefs brought up the exquisite dishes.
There are Western-style steaks and Chinese-style stir-fry dishes. Every time a dish is served, the chef who cooked it comes up to greet you.
"Really, Grandpa doesn't know what you like to eat the most, so explain to them that they will come with a little bit of all kinds. You can taste it and tell the chef directly if you have any questions." Old man Huo said to Bai Zhenzhen with a smile.
Bai Zhen was sincere and fearful.According to her incomplete statistics, there are now more than 20 dishes on the table, and at least 17 or 8 different chefs have come to introduce them.
So this is the life of the rich!Really exaggerated!luxury!Depressed!
——But she likes it!!
"Grandpa, thank you for your hospitality. I can't drink wine, so I will toast you with tea instead of wine." Bai Zhenzhen held up the tea cup and said to Mr. Huo.
Hearing these words, Mr. Huo became a little unhappy: "I don't want to drink this tea."
"Why?" Bai Zhen was really surprised.

Huo Xiang explained to the side: "Grandpa, she really can't drink wine! I can prove this."
"It's not about the wine." Elder Huo replied, and looked at Bai Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, what did you say just now? Thank you for the hospitality? You are the grandfather's granddaughter-in-law, the young master of this family, why? Say thank you to Grandpa?"
When Bai Zhenzhen heard it, it turned out that Elder Huo cared about this.She was embarrassed and ashamed, and then met Huo Xiang's meaningful gaze, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
"Grandpa is right, this is my house." Bai Zhenzhen raised his teacup again and said to Old Man Huo, "Then I will offer Grandpa a cup again. I wish Grandpa good health and smile often!"
"Together!" Huo Xiang also raised his glass.
Old man Huo’s dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant. He nodded in relief, and clinked glasses with Bai Zhenzhen Huo Xiang, and replied: "Then grandpa wishes you a sweet couple—and, give grandpa early. A big fat boy!"
The smiles of Bai Zhenzhen and Huo Xiang were a bit embarrassing.However, the two who are known for their acting skills did not reveal any flaws.
At this moment, Huo Xiang's mind again sounded the voice of the system.
——System: "Ding ~ Side Quest Five Release: From now on, please complete the first three things that Mr. Huo asked you. Special reminder, this quest is the theme of "Drinking Water Source". If the quest fails, the happiness system will not It will restart and happiness will not be affected in any way."
——Huo Xiang: "There will be such a good thing? I don't believe it. You must be followed by a'but'."
-System: "However, the Cavaliers will lose their current status."
——Huo Xiang: "I really guessed it!!"
——Huo Xiang: "Wait, what do you mean? The identity of my grandson, the richest man, has been DNA tested. What can I lose?!"
——System: "Knight, the system reminds you again: Everything is possible in the book world."
——Huo Xiang: "...Okay, isn't it just three things, my grandpa loves me so much, can I still embarrass me?"
——System: "Then let's wait and see!"
——Huo Xiang: "Uh, let me confirm it again-does this side mission have nothing to do with the heroine?!"
The system did not answer Huo Xiang's question, but Mr. Huo's first request came immediately.
"Huo Xiang, how come after eating for so long, I haven't seen you really pick a dish!"
Huo Xiang reacted immediately.
——Why does this task have nothing to do with the heroine!Obviously, he followed the hand of Old Man Huo and asked him to continue to take care of and guard the hostess!After all, now his grandfather is full of his granddaughter-in-law, more than considering him!
"Grandpa, it's not that the table at home is too big, I can't do it!" Huo Xiang muttered, stood up, dug a spoonful of chicken in a dish closest to him, stretched out his hand again, and passed it. In front of Bai Zhenzhen.
Bai Zhen really hurriedly took the bowl to pick it up, and said, "I still have a lot of dishes here, don't bother you!"
Old man Huo disagreed, and said with a smile: "True, this dish passed through Huo Xiang's hands, but it is not the same as the dish in front of you! Grandpa is here, so grandpa still understands the fun between these young couples. !" @ Infinite, all on Big Brother Novel Network
"Grandpa is awesome!" Bai Zhenzhen laughed "Haha".
Huo Xiang thought he had completed the task and was very happy.
——Huo Xiang: "How about, this first thing has been successfully completed, right?!"
——System: "Report Knight: Zero percent progress of side missions."
——Huo Xiang: "Why?!"
——System: "According to the original words of Mr. Huo, the first thing is to let you pick a dish for the hostess, but you used a spoon and did not complete the action of'clamping', so the system judged that the mission failed."
——Huo Xiang: "Am I special..."
People under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads.Huo Xiang picked up the chopsticks again and picked up a piece of sweet and sour lotus root, another difficult gymnastic exercise, and put it into the bowl of Bai Zhenzhen.
——System: "Report Knight: 33% of the progress of the side task is completed."
——Huo Xiang: "So easy!"
Elder Huo was very satisfied with Huo Xiang's courteous attitude.He handed a cup of food in front of him to Huo Xiang and said, "Grandson, you have worked hard too. Grandpa has prepared supplements for you. Eat this well, this is good for your health!"
Huo Xiang glanced at this cup suspiciously. It was a small silver cup with food covered in it. He couldn't see what it was.When the chefs introduced the dishes one by one just now, they only missed this cup, and only silently placed it on the side of Mr. Huo.
——Could it be, what is it that is priceless?!
Huo Xiang thought, and happily opened the lid.
At first glance, the contents looked like some kind of animal entrails. After being roasted with spices, he couldn't recognize what it was for a short time.
"Grandpa, what kind of dish is this?" Huo Xiang asked.
The opposite Bai Zhenzhen couldn't see the contents of the cup, so he was very curious, and asked, "What good things do you not share?"
Elder Huo said to Bai Zhenzhen, "True, you don't need to eat this thing. But don't worry, grandpa has specially prepared something suitable for you."
As he said, he gestured to the servant on the side with his eyes.The servant brought the freshly heated bird's nest soup to Bai Zhenzhen.
Elder Huo lowered his voice, and said to Huo Xiang: "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, you'll know after eating. Try it quickly, it's delicious."
——Huo Xiang: "System, let me confirm with you, is this the second thing?"
-System: "Yes, Knight."
——Huo Xiang: "This task is too simple! There must be no reward."
——System: "Because this task is the theme task of'Drinking Water Thinking Source', it is mainly to make the knight cherish gratitude and filial piety, so there is no reward after the task is completed."
——Huo Xiang: "You! You big liar! I just said that happiness is not clear after failure, but I didn't say that there is no reward!!"
——System: "Knight, you can also choose not to do this task. But if you do not do it, the system automatically determines that the task has failed."
——Huo Xiang: "Hmph, I won't do it if you say you don't? I want to do it! Slightly!"
--system:"……"
Huo Xiang picked up one of them with chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth to chew.The original barbecue smell disappeared instantly at the moment of chewing this unknown object, and replaced by an extremely strong and indescribable smell.
"What's so...what!" Huo Xiang's facial features were all disturbed by this strange sense of taste. He almost vomited what was in his mouth, but a systematic voice rang in his mind.
——System: "If the mission fails, the knight will lose his current identity."
With tears in Huo Xiang's eyes, he swallowed the thing alive.
"How about it, the taste is okay?" Mr. Huo asked with a smile, but his eyes showed the triumph of conspiracy.
"Grandpa, what exactly are you giving me!" Huo Xiang finished asking this, and immediately picked up the water glass on the table and drank the whole glass of water.
Elder Huo approached Huo Xiang and whispered in his ear: "This is the best sheep's kidney in the world. It is a good thing for kidney and yang! How is it, grandpa is good to you?"
Huo Xiang: "..."
Bai Zhenzhen sat aside, watching the grandparents biting their ears, and his curiosity grew stronger.
"Grandpa, what did you eat for Huo Xiang?" Bai Zhenzhen said.
Elder Huo waved his hand: "Oh, don't worry, it's just a little supplement! Huo Xiang is grandpa's grandson, and grandpa can harm him? But this good medicine is bitter, and he is not used to it. It is normal..."
As he said, Old Huo winked at Huo Xiang again.
"This tonic is hard to come by, you have to finish it!" Old man Huo said.
Huo Xiang had no love for life.He looked at Bai Zhenzhen, and met her innocent and suspicious gaze. At this moment, he suddenly understood the artistic conception of the allegorical phrase "dumb eats huanglian-there is hardship".
"Eat, I eat!" Huo Xiang tremblingly took up his chopsticks.
Although this is a small cup, there are a lot of lamb kidneys in it. After eating one piece, there are five.
——System: "Knight, come on! So easy!"
——Huo Xiang: "TT"
With the help of three glasses of clear water and two glasses of red wine, Huo Xiang finally completed the second thing that Elder Huo assigned to him.
At this moment, he has reached the realm of the soul out of his body.
——System: "Report to the knight, the progress of the side task is 67% completed."
——Huo Xiang: "Okay, very good. I think that after going through these six sheep kidneys, there is nothing that can stump me now."
——System: "Then let's wait and see!"
——Huo Xiang: "I beg you to stop saying this word!!"
Sure enough, something more ruthless is yet to come.
While Huo Xiang was still wandering, Bai Zhenzhen got up and went to the toilet.Only him and his grandfather were left on the table.
Seeing that the timing was right at this moment, Old Man Huo gave a wink at Uncle Cai, who ordered all the servants to turn their backs.Then, he also came to a standard "backward".
"What's the matter, grandpa?" Huo Xiang looked at his grandfather Huo with a cautious look, and the doubts in his heart suddenly rose, and his vigilance became higher.
——There will be no more unpalatable things waiting for him, right?!
Elder Huo took out a thin book from his clothes. It looked a bit dated, it should be old.
He cautiously handed the book to Huo Xiang, without speaking, only winked at him.
Huo Xiang didn't know, so he frowned and took the booklet and opened it smoothly.
But as soon as it was opened, he closed the booklet abruptly, very fast.After closing it, I looked around subconsciously, for fear of being seen by others.
"Grandpa!" Huo Xiang whispered, "You, why do you show this to me!"
Elder Huo was also a little embarrassed. His eyes flickered for a while, but he still pretended to calmly answer: "What's wrong, this thing is a treasure from the Huo family for generations! If I didn't give it to your parents, I don’t know if you are there yet!"
"What, what do you mean?" Huo Xiang was stunned.
"You also know that our Huo family has a single pass for nine generations, and the population is very small, but fortunately, each generation gave birth to a son, so the incense has not been broken! Back then, your grandma and I were married for more than three years and never had children. Later you My great-grandfather handed this over to me. In less than half a year, your grandma was pregnant with your dad... and later, I gave this thing to your dad again..."
"Really?!" Huo Xiang smacked, "Dare to love this thing can cure infertility?! There is no scientific basis for this!"
"There are some things you really can't find scientific basis, otherwise, why do we have only one male for so many generations in the Huo family?!" Old man Huo said seriously.
Huo Xiang looked at Old Huo's face and knew that he really couldn't be honest with him on this issue, otherwise it would cause conflicts between his grandchildren.
So he skipped the historical significance of this "baby" and asked: "Grandpa, so are you going to pass this thing to me now? Don't worry, I will keep it safe and use it when it's time to use it!"
With that, Huo Xiang folded the booklet in half and stuffed it into his pants pocket.
I thought that this topic could end here, but I didn't expect that Elder Huo would speak again.
"What does it mean to keep it well, you should start using it now!" Old Huo said, "Just tonight! You must follow the booklet once!"
Huo Xiang:???
The system's voice rang in his mind abruptly, and Huo Xiang felt this voice particularly gloomy for the first time.
——System: "Knight, I know what you want to ask——Yes, this is the third thing that Elder Huo assigned you. According to his request, please complete it within tonight. If it exceeds the time, the system will automatically The mission is judged to have failed."
@∞, all in the big brother novel network
——Huo Xiang: "You tell me the truth, have you already known the contents of the three things..."
——System: "Knight, the system is only responsible for publishing tasks and cannot design plots in advance."
——Huo Xiang: "Really?"
——System: "Really."
That's the problem with this bad old man.
Huo Xiang looked at Father Huo faintly.Elder Huo looked at him kindly.
"Grandpa, can we change time?"
"No way."
"This is just getting married, let's not worry..."
"Why don't you be in a hurry?! Grandpa, when you were your age, your father would have used soy sauce!"
"grandfather……"
"Just tonight! Come on!"
Elder Huo gave Huo Xiangbi a fist to cheer.
Bai Zhen really came back from the bathroom, and when he saw this scene, his curiosity fell again.
"Tonight? Is there any activity tonight?" she asked.
Elder Huo smiled and greeted Bai Zhenzhen to sit down, and said, "You will live at home tonight. Really, you don't think the home environment is bad, right?"
"How come!" Bai Zhenzhen answered without thinking.In this big villa, the bathroom is larger than her house, how can she dislike it.
"Then it was decided so happily!" Old Huo was very happy.
Bai Zhenzhen nodded and then smiled.
After all, she and Huo Xiang are a nominal husband and wife, and now she eats others and takes others, and it should make the elderly happy.Anyway, even if they live in the same room, she and Huo Xiang can sleep in their own way as usual.
But Huo Xiang's face was not so good at the moment.
Bai Zhenzhen glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "Axiang, what's the matter with you?"
Huo Xiang said sadly on his face: "It's okay, I'm just...so happy."
