When Xia Chu followed Zhao Xingwen to Huo Mansion, the boys at the door were indeed very familiar with Zhao Xingwen and greeted him one after another. One of them trotted in to report, while the other walked in front to lead the way.
What surprised Xia Chu was that the first person to greet him was not Huo Wenshu or Huo Tianxiu, but the eleven-year-old boy Huo Wenkang.
I saw a young boy who was exquisitely carved, running all the way into Zhao Xingwen's arms, calling to him affectionately: "Brother-in-law, you are finally here!"
Zhao Xingwen squatted down and stretched out his fist. Huo Wenkang also stretched out his fist to touch him. Zhao Xingwen then rubbed his head with a smile on his face and asked: "Have you finished all the homework assigned to you? ?”
Huo Wenkang put his hands on his hips and raised his chin with a proud look on his face: "I've finished it a long time ago. I'm just waiting for you to come."
Zhao Xingwen smiled even more happily: "Okay, let me check it out and see if there are any errors or omissions. If not, we will stick to the old rules."
Huo Wenkang shrugged and spread his hands, as if he was looking for you.
Only then did he see Xia Chu walking with Zhao Xingwen. He tilted his head, pulled Zhao Xingwen's sleeve and asked, "Brother-in-law, who is this?"
Zhao Xingwen just reacted and left Xia Chu aside for a long time. He quickly introduced to Huo Wenkang: "This is Xia Chu, the young prince of Xiahou Mansion. He is also my cousin. You should call him Brother Chu."
Huo Wenkang obeyed Zhao Xingwen's words very much. He bowed to Xia Chu and said in a crisp voice, "I've met Brother Chu."
Zhao Xingwen was filled with pride when he saw this, and introduced to Xia Chu: "This is Wen Shu's younger brother..."
"Huo Wenkang." Xia Chu took over his words before he finished speaking.
Zhao Xingwen looked stunned. He was about to ask how he knew it, but suddenly he suddenly realized: "That boy Bingwen must have told you."
Xia Chu smiled silently and touched Huo Wenkang's face lovingly. Huo Wenkang was still a little resistant at first, but seeing Zhao Xingwen shaking his head at him, he reluctantly stood there and allowed Xia Chu to caress him. Put the cheek.
Xia Chu's originally gloomy mood improved slightly after meeting the lively and childish Huo Wenkang. He curved his lips and said, "He is really close to you."
"That's right." Zhao Xingwen responded, turned to Huo Wenkang and said, "Because we are all..."
"Man!" Huo Wenkang's childish and sonorous voice was sandwiched between Zhao Xingwen's voice, which inexplicably added a hint of joy, making the smile on Xia Chu's lips grow deeper.
"Kang'er!" Huo Wenshu, who was in the distance, heard the voices of the two people from afar. She called to Huo Wenkang while walking towards this side.
Huo Wenkang stuck out his tongue after hearing her shout, walked to her and stood aside meekly.
Huo Wenshu pointed at his eyebrows and scolded: "How many times have I told him not to block him at the door? What do you mean..."
When Huo Wenshu said this, she looked towards Zhao Xingwen and saw Xia Chu standing next to him. She paused in her words and led Huo Wenkang towards this side and bowed: "The young Marquis is here too. ”
Xia Chu responded with a courtesy: "My cousin is so polite, she said just call me by my name."
Huo Wenshu looked shy when he was called by his cousin. She curled her lips and said "Hello" and led them inside.
"I'm coming over with my cousin today to have a meal and check in." Xia Chu said as he walked.
"Yeah, you haven't even been here yet. Qianle used to come often, but she hasn't been here for some days recently." Huo Wenshu mentioned Qianle and missed her a lot.
"Sister, I often mention Sister Qianle." Huo Wenkang also added.
"Next time I'll bring her over to chat with me." Xia Chu smiled.
"Hey, how can you call me Nao Nuo? You should come over more often to visit me." Huo Wenshu corrected him.
"Yes, we are all relatives, so we should be more friendly." Xia Chu joked.
Huo Wenshu's cheeks turned red at his words, but she couldn't refute, so she had to hold Huo Wenkang's hand and walk tighter.
Xia Chu was led all the way into the courtyard where she lived, and she couldn't help but ask: "Should I go and see Admiral Huo first?"
Before Huo Wenshu could speak, Zhao Xingwen had already spoken skillfully at the side: "At this point, Admiral Huo is still on duty and is not at the mansion. Yuzhong will return to the mansion for dinner."
Xia Chu suddenly realized, turned to Zhao Xingwen and said, "My cousin is indeed very familiar with Huo Mansion."
Zhao Xingwen was not as thin-skinned as Huo Wenshu. He didn't take it seriously at all. He even replied quite naturally: "That's natural. I'll be here every now and then."
Huo Wenshu teased him, and Zhao Xingwen raised his eyebrows and continued: "That's true. I came here every day in the beginning."
Xia Chu was amused by the interaction between the two of them and laughed out loud.
Zhao Xingwen said, "You finally showed off your face. When you went to my place in the morning, your face was so dark that it was scary."
Xia Chu smiled awkwardly a few times, but it was so obvious. Even Zhao Xingwen could see it...
Huo Wenshu asked the maid to make tea, and the three of them were chatting in the other courtyard. Huo Wenkang pestered Zhao Xingwen to dance with the gun and stick. Zhao Xingwen taught him every move in the sun. Huo Wenkang learned it with style by watching. It's very tender.
Xia Chu suddenly came up with the idea that if they had a son in the future, they would definitely collect all of Xu Wenlan's piano and Xiao Zimu's paintings.
As for books and chess, he and Xiao Mubai can teach them themselves, and when the time comes, they will make him look like the best young master in the world...
"Xia Chu? Why are you laughing?" Huo Wenshu, who was standing by, saw the silly smile on his lips. She had been stupid for a while and couldn't help but ask.
Xia Chu's face was startled, and when he came back to his senses, he realized where his thoughts had gone. With a little shyness on his face, he turned his head in the direction of Zhao Xingwen and said: "I just saw that my cousin and Wenkang get along like this. I think you will get along well in the future. He will also teach his children very well.”
Huo Wenshu's face also turned red and she took a sip of tea: "You're going too far..."
Xia Chu lowered his eyelids silently, yes, what he thought was far away...
About two hours after burning incense, the boy outside the courtyard came in to report that Huo Tianxiu had returned home. Huo Wenshu ordered him to pass the meal, turned around and called in the direction of Zhao Xingwen: "Kang'er, come back for dinner."
Zhao Xingwen stopped and led Huo Wenkang over. Huo Wenshu took two wet wipes from the maid's hands and handed them to them respectively to wipe the sweat on their foreheads.
Xia Chu looked slightly envious and said sincerely, "My cousin is really lucky."
Zhao Xingwen laughed loudly and patted him on the shoulder boldly: "Don't be envious, you will definitely be able to marry a woman as gentle and gentle as Wen Shu in the future to spend the rest of your life with!"
Xia Chu's slightly envious face froze, her mouth twitched, and she laughed twice, even if she couldn't...
