Big man: I am the Champion Marquis!

Chapter 138 My Family

At the General's Mansion, I was scolded and taught a little lesson, and some things are over.

The Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince would not mention the fact that Huo Xian had run away last year. Wei Qing and Princess Pingyang only mentioned it briefly, but then it was forgotten. No one took it to heart.

Huo Xian returned to the Guanjun Marquis's residence and brought Chen Wan over. "Call someone."

The fat boy turned his face away and refused to call anyone.

"You little brat!" Huo Xian patted Chen Wan's buttocks cheerfully, "Call me uncle, and I'll give you a good horse!"

Chen Wan stumbled away and hugged Chen Sanlang. Chen Wan was more curious about Huo Xian, her cheap uncle, and she would just watch him foolishly from the side every time.

Chen Sanlang held the child in his arms and said to Huo Xian, "My Lord, I have received many visiting cards these days."

Huo Xian said directly, "Go tell your uncle that I'm going to have dinner."

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Chen Sanlang was a little skeptical and reminded, "This is too rude and not appropriate."

"Etiquette?" Huo Xian said, "You just think about etiquette. He is my uncle. Do I need to think about etiquette everywhere? Okay, just go over and tell him. I don't treat myself as an outsider. Do you understand?"

Chen Sanlang said, "Marquis Pingyang, Marquis Congpiao, Marquis Haixi, Marquis Xinzhi and others have all sent visiting cards."

"I know what's going on. Don't worry about it." Huo Xian said unhappily, "What do you think Cao Zong and An Guo are thinking? Why are they sending visiting cards? Or are they being too distant with me because I just went out for a walk?"

Chen Ju, who was standing next to him, said, "My Lord, it's not An Guo who is being polite, but you, my Lord, have always been rude. Even if they are acquaintances, they should send visiting cards and invitations. But you, my Lord, may become a bad guest at any time."

Chen Sanlang laughed beside him, because his own lord was really like that. People who were a little familiar with him would not deliberately send visiting cards or invitations, etc. They might just go there on a whim.

Huo Xian just laughed it off. He was used to hearing comments like Chen Ju and Chen Sanlang's. After all, he had heard them a lot, so he didn't think it was a big problem.

"There are quite a lot of visiting cards these days, just look at them." Huo Xian said, "Let me know if you are close to me, and don't worry about the others."

Chen Ju and the others were used to it. Their own prince was like this. From childhood to adulthood, he received many visiting cards, but sent out very few invitations. When some powerful people sent visiting cards, the prince was too lazy to respond.

This is a very normal thing. Many powerful families are accustomed to the fact that Huo Xian, the champion marquis, does not respond.

Huo Xian was quite busy at this time, he had to go to the General's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and other relatives and friends. He had to run around and could be rude to others, but he couldn't ignore some people.

Seeing Huo Xian coming over, Huo Xian was very happy. It didn't matter whether someone came over to say it suddenly or not. The most important thing was that his nephew didn't treat him as an outsider.

"Your uncle hasn't come back yet." Huo Xian brought a lot of dried fruits and said with a smile, "He should be back in another hour."

Huo Xian smiled and said, "Has the eldest sister's marriage been decided now?"

Huo Xian was a little distressed with happiness. "Some people came to plead for mercy. Your uncle said that we should weigh the pros and cons carefully. He also said before that those people still consider your status when they want to get engaged."

Huo Xian was not surprised by this. Even if she was his cousin, she was still his sister. Huo Yu was also brought over. The boy was a little shy. He hugged Huo Xian's thigh and looked at Huo Xian curiously.

"This is your elder brother!" Huo Xian encouraged his son, saying, "Go and call for help!"

Huo Yu was still looking around curiously, but he was unwilling to get closer. As for his elder brother Huo Xian, he was naturally a little unfamiliar and curious. It might not be a simple matter to expect him to take the initiative to approach.

After all, Huo Yu is Huo Guang's only son, so he is somewhat spoiled and it is normal that he is heavily indulged.

There is nothing strange about this. It is normal for an only child to be spoiled.

Huo Xian said, "Don't decide on your eldest sister's marriage yet. I will discuss it with my uncle when the time comes."

Huo Xian said hurriedly, "That would be the best. I don't understand some things either, so it would be best if Shan'er could help me."

Although this aunt of his family seemed to be virtuous, Huo Xian had always been uneasy about her. As long as she was given a little power, she would stir up trouble and had great ambitions.

But it didn't matter much now. Although Huo Guang doted on his wife, he would not allow her to do whatever she wanted. In addition, Huo Xian was still alive, so he was the only one who could make decisions for the Huo family, not his uncle Huo Guang.

Huo Xian looked at Huo Changru and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"

Huo Xian spoke up first, "How could she know those things? She only knows a few powerful and wealthy people." "Why does she have to be from a powerful and wealthy family?" Huo Xian said bluntly, "As an elder brother, how can I not take care of my younger brothers and sisters? If my sister has someone she likes, it doesn't matter if he is a commoner. If he is a scholar, I will recommend him to the court. If he is a martial artist, he can follow me to join the army. Are you still afraid of having no future?"

Huo Xian was choked and didn't know what to say.

According to her idea, she would naturally look for some powerful families, which would be better if they joined forces. But what Huo Xian said also made sense. After all, his status was too high, so it was no problem for him to promote a few people.

Even though Huo Guang now holds some weight in the court, he is just one of the ordinary "important ministers". Ten Huo Guangs put together are not as important as Huo Shan.

Huo Changru said, "Brother, I saw someone a few days ago."

Huo Xian immediately became happy, "Tell me which family you are from later, and I'll go over to take a look. It's not that easy to become my brother-in-law."

Huo Xian was very anxious, but he couldn't say anything at this time.

Huo Changru is not her biological daughter, but the most important thing is that she has Huo Shan as her backer, and she is very courageous.

Huo Guang came back happily and smiled when he saw Huo Shan. "Shan'er came suddenly and the family didn't prepare much."

"Uncle, this is too formal." Huo Xian smiled and stood up to bow. "I come to your house. If there is good wine and good food, then I will have it. If there is no good wine and good food, then I will just eat whatever I want. Do I need to pick an auspicious day to talk to you and see my brothers and sisters?"

Huo Guang was even happier when he heard this. His nephew did not treat him as an outsider. This was the most joyful thing.

"I just mentioned her marriage to my sister. I don't think she should be in a hurry to settle it." Huo Xian said, "Zhao Congxiao knows, right? That guy is being watched by people from Longxi now, and my sister is probably even more so."

Huo Guang said earnestly, "Shan'er, it's time for you to have a child. You are already twenty-one."

The power and status of Marquis Guanjun were obvious to all. The top dignitaries were keeping an eye on him. Especially since Huo Xian had not yet married, many people were ready to make a move.

The less powerful and influential families all set their sights on Huo Changru and the others. Cousins ​​are still sisters, and they have all heard that Marquis Guanjun dotes on his sisters.

If they are not considered powerful but can be considered wealthy or from a side branch, then we should keep an eye on Huo Xian's followers and some of his confidants.

How can marriage be so simple? Sometimes it is all about being well-matched and combining strengths. It is normal to establish some alliances through marriage contracts.

Huo Xian immediately smiled and said, "I've been looking for a woman, but I still haven't met the woman I like."

Huo Xian sat there, looking smiling and gentle. Deep down, she still didn't want Huo Shan to have any offspring, so that her son would be the only heir of the Huo family.

Huo Guang continued to persuade him earnestly, "Why don't you take in a few more concubines? I know some who have good family traditions."

Huo Guang was an extremely cautious person, and generally would not do anything that seemed disrespectful. But his nephew's affairs were a big deal.

"Can I still go to someone's backyard?" Huo Xian said, "I still think it's meaningless to get married. It's better to join the army."

It's not that marrying a wife is boring, but Huo Xian doesn't worry about things like marrying a wife and having children. Even if he doesn't marry a wife, as long as he wants, he can't do without some beauties to accompany him.

Even if he went to the homes of some wealthy and powerful people to hook up with some ladies, some of them would turn a blind eye and even feel happy and expectant about it.

Maybe they would be happy to see it happen and take the initiative to create conditions. If something really went wrong, those powerful people would make a fuss and force Huo Xian to take responsibility. Only then would it be considered a great success.

Huo Guang didn't know what to say. Huo Xian would never marry, and this was a concern for many people, but they really couldn't do anything about it.

The emperor and the empress were helpless. The general and Princess Pingyang tried to persuade and introduce many ways for Huo Xian, but he was not happy. The others could only worry.

The best way would be for the emperor to directly arrange or grant the marriage, but the emperor has always been doting, and Huo Xian has a lot of twisted ideas, so the matter has been dragged on, and it is useless for others to be anxious.

Now, the only person in this world who can make Huo Xian bow his head is the emperor. If the emperor can't do it, naturally no one else can do it either.

"Marquis Haixi has been asking you a lot these days." Huo Guang said proudly, "I am just waiting for Shan'er to invite me to a banquet, or to visit the Marquis's mansion."

Huo Xian immediately became happy, "Li Guangli is a smart man. He knows that his sister is gone, so he wants to find me as a backer? With all this going on, how can he be considered as one of my followers?"

"Haixi Hou said that he followed Xian'er to be awarded the title of marquis, and considered himself a member of Guanjun Hou's army." Huo Guang's words were full of pride. "He often took the initiative to look for me and Congpi Hou, but I ignored them."

Huo Xian was also happy. How could it be so easy to become my disciple?
