Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 471 The Family
The morning of the Huo family was as calm as ever.

As an emerging family, in order to maintain the position they had finally obtained, the Huo family has strict family precepts and is very famous in the entire Danyang City.

Although the crowd battle had just ended, and it was the day for the practitioners to rest before the more intense personal battle, Huo Zhan got up at Maoshi as usual, and then adjusted his breath for an hour before starting to practice swords in the courtyard.

The sound of sword practice also came from other brothers' courtyards one after another, which made him dare not relax in the slightest even though he was sweating profusely.

The courtyard where he lives is the largest among the descendants of the Huo family, named Honghu Courtyard.

Honghu, meaning nature is the ambition of Honghu.

As a descendant of the Huo family, you must strictly discipline yourself from an early age, honor your ancestors, and protect the glory of the Huo family as a family with the Jia surname.

He grew up listening to these family precepts, but in fact, the Huo family became a family with the surname Jia in just seven short years.

Huo Zhan drew his sword out of its sheath and let out a heavy breath.

Although his grandfather had great ambitions, he didn't catch up with the good time. During the melee in the last days of the previous dynasty, the three heroes of the empire returned home.

Those who came later could only follow those three families to pick up leftovers.

The days when they followed Huijia and bowed their knees were the most humiliating times for the Huo family.But fortunately, the Emperor Taizu passed away, the old general Gui died, and the eldest son of the emperor fled to Southern Chu. The vulgar status finally reached the point where it is today.

However, as long as Ying Xun fails to return to the former Qin Dynasty and ascend the throne for a day, the status of the Huo family will still be precarious.

Now, although relying on the power of Ying Xun's mother's family, the Ye family, to temporarily take him in Southern Chu, once a war breaks out between the two countries, Ying Xun may be driven out of Southern Chu.

Huo Zhan thrust his sword fiercely into the air.

But now their Huo family has been firmly tied to Ying Xun's boat, all they can do is to firmly occupy the position of the first family among the old Qin survivors, and there must be no mistakes.

And as the eldest grandson of the Huo family's generation, he couldn't make any mistakes.

Huo Zhan put the sword back into its sheath panting, and looked around the spacious yard in a daze.

Honghu Courtyard.

This represents the status among the younger generation of Huo's family, but at the same time, if something goes wrong with him, he will not be the one who lives in this yard tomorrow.

As a family of generals, the Huo family valued merit over status.His grandfather's current Patriarch of the Huo family would remind him every time he had a family banquet, and the merits of the dragon were the most important compared to the so-called aristocratic family that had been passed down for thousands of years.

That's why the Huo family chose Ying Xun, who is more talented but in a difficult situation, instead of the orthodox heir Ying Hanri.

And the focus of the Huo family's generation from the dragon's work is on him.

He is the closest to Ying Xun, and he participated in the primary ceremony in the same year.He must firmly occupy the No.1 position next to Ying Xun, and assist the former Qin orthodox son to reach the end of the primary ceremony.

This is his responsibility and his only value. If he fails to do well, the Huo family will definitely abandon him without hesitation.

But without a family, he is nothing.

Nothing.

He doesn't know how many brothers study hard every day and are eager to take his place.

Sweat dripped to the ground drop by drop, and Ying Xun panted and sheathed his sword.

"Eldest son, take a rest." At this time, the old slave next to him saw the opportunity and brought tea, "This time, everyone in the primary ceremony won three first prizes before the battle, and the eldest son is even among the best. The master heard that I am very happy to say that you are doing well!"

Huo Zhan frowned slightly when he heard this.

From the preliminary ceremony until now, everything has indeed gone very smoothly.

The achievements of Qianqin are unheard of, and his ranking as the main force is naturally very good.When he returned to the mansion the day before yesterday, even the other brothers looked at him with a lot of respect.

however……

Huo Zhan sat under the eaves wiping his sweat, looking at the sky in a daze.Although everything went so smoothly, he felt uneasy for some reason when he woke up this morning.

"Young Master? What are you looking at?" The old slave beside him asked strangely, but Huo Zhan didn't know how to answer.

What else is wrong...

If there is only one odd number in the elementary ceremony... that is...

Huo Zhan's heart tightened, but at this moment, a servant's exclamation suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Elder... Eldest son, someone is looking for you..."

"Looking for me?" Huo Zhan stood up and asked strangely.If Ying Xun had friends who were familiar with him, the servants would directly report their names, let alone being so surprised.

But no matter who it was, it was still inappropriate for a servant of the Huo family to yell like this, Huo Zhan frowned and walked out of the courtyard.

"Who is looking for me, what's the fuss?" He scolded loudly as he walked.

However, when he saw the figure standing outside the door, the figure of the boy who had been striding forward suddenly froze in place.

The visitor has a beautiful figure, and his back is like a painting.

It was a beautiful scene, but Huo Zhan's eyes widened as if he saw a ghost.

"Yes...it's the prince...His Royal Highness is looking for you..."

And at this moment, the trembling concierge peeped at his face and announced the name of the visitor.

This is a person who has never visited Huo's mansion, and it is also a person who Huo Zhan killed him and never expected to see at the gate of his courtyard early in the morning.

"Good morning, Mr. Huo."

At this moment, the slender figure standing outside the courtyard turned around and smiled at him.

Huo Zhan's mind went blank.

Why did this person come to her?

Why is she here...

Huo Zhan called out the girl's name in his heart.

The former eldest princess of Qin, Ying Baoyue.

……

……

"As expected of the Huo family's courtyard, it's really magnificent," Ying Baoyue said after walking into the courtyard with the three-character Honghu courtyard plaque hanging on the gate.

"His Royal Highness is laughing at you. The courtyard is so small that I dare not compare it with the National Teacher's Mansion." The owner of the courtyard, Huo Zhan, stood in the courtyard, took a deep breath and said.

"Your yard is bigger than Mr. Ji's," Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

Huo Zhan's scalp became numb when he heard the words, and he looked at the bewildered boys in the courtyard, and stepped forward to salute Ying Baoyue.

"What is your highness doing when you come to the humble house?"

He used to look down on this vase princess from the bottom of his heart, but the three battles were enough for him to understand that this woman is not just a vase, and for some reason now, looking at the woman who came almost alone, his heart felt chills.

In the deepest part, there is still a secret guilty conscience.

"It's true that there's no need to exchange pleasantries. We each have precious time, so let's get to the point." And the woman's clear eyes looked at him, "I'm here to see you for something, and it's not so convenient for others to hear."

Ying Baoyue glanced at Huo Zhan's courtyard, and saw that the situation was similar to Ji Jiashu's courtyard. There were only elderly servants and childish schoolboys among the servants, not a single maid.

"I've heard it before that the Huo family's family rules are strict, and no women are allowed in the house before a man gets married. Now it's true." She said lightly.

"But even so, please ask Mr. Huo to prepare an empty room. I have something to talk to you alone."

Huo Zhan's eyes froze, and the next moment he said lightly.

"No matter what your highness is, your highness is waiting to be married. It's really against etiquette for a single man and a widow. I'm sorry if you can't follow my orders."

"Lonely men and widows?" Ying Baoyue smiled when he heard the words, looked at the other young man behind him and said solemnly, "You don't have to worry about this, Mr. Huo."

She patted Gui Chen on the shoulder, "Now that there is an extra man, it's okay, right?"

"Or..." Ying Baoyue looked at Huo Zhan quietly, "Mr. Huo, don't you mind making the matter of being invisible to the public public?"

Huo Zhan's pupils shrank.
