Chapter 546 The General Was Rescued (21)
The Huo family has two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son was named Huo Hong, the second son was named Huo Yuan, and they also had an adopted daughter, Huo Chengle, an orphan in the army.
Both of Huo Chengle's parents died on the battlefield.
Mrs. Huo took pity on the girl, adopted her as her own daughter, and registered her under her own name and included her in the Huo family tree.
Speaking of the Huo family, it is considered a relatively powerful military family in the army.
Huo Hong's great-grandfather was originally an ordinary farmer from a small town in Xia State.
Once he accidentally saved a prince of the time, and later followed him back to the capital and became a palace guard.
Later, because of his meritorious service to the emperor, he was given the position of a military general after the emperor ascended the throne.
Although this man was born in a farming family, he was extremely good at specialization. In just three generations, he had already established a firm foothold in the army.
If nothing unexpected happens, everyone in the Huo family will join the army.
However, in this generation, an outlier was born, and that person was Huo Hong.
Huo Hong had the good fortune to be the study partner of the former Crown Prince since he was a child. The two spent every day together and developed a very deep friendship.
In addition to the former crown prince, he also has a close friend, the eldest son of the Luo family in the capital, Luo Qiwen.
The Luo family is also one of the four major families in the capital.
Although the Luo family is not the most prominent in terms of power, but in terms of wealth, the Luo family is second to none.
Even the luxurious ship that Huo Yuan owns now originally belonged to the Luo family.
In fact, at the beginning, the Luo family had very little contact with the Huo family.
After all, these aristocratic families that have been passed down for generations, to some extent, look down on people like the Huo family who come from the military.
After all, if you trace back to the origins, the ancestors of the Huo family were just ordinary people who made a living by digging in the soil.
However, as the two eldest sons interacted with each other, the relationship between the Huo family and the Luo family gradually improved.
That year, the twelve-year-old Luo Yuhe opened her big watery eyes, looked up at her brother, and asked softly: "Brother, are you going to meet the eldest son of the Huo family today?"
Luo Qiwen gently touched his sister's head and said softly, "Yes, some time ago, Huo Hong and the prince went out to do some work. When they came back the day before yesterday, they asked me to go out for a get-together."
Luo Yuhe's eyes lit up, and she pulled her brother's clothes and said coquettishly: "Brother, I want to go too."
"Okay! But you can't be naughty!" Sister Luo Yuhe is the youngest child in the family, and Luo Qiwen is quite doting on her.
Moreover, Luo Yuhe is different from her sister Luo Yufu. She is more lively and sweeter, so everyone in the family likes her very much.
As the fourth young lady of the Luo family, she is the darling of the Luo family.
"No, no!" Luo Yuhe quickly assured.
At this time, Huo Yuan was practicing swordplay in the Huo Mansion Garden. His swordplay was sharp and vigorous.
Huo Hong on the side exclaimed: "Second brother, your swordsmanship is really good. It's such a heavy weapon, but in your hand it's as light as a feather."
Huo Yuan sheathed his sword and said with a smile, "Brother, please don't tease me. I think the pen you are good at using is much heavier than the sword in my hand."
Mrs. Huo and her daughter Huo Chengle felt very relieved when they saw their two sons being humble to each other.
After a few more pleasantries, they heard a servant come to report that the eldest son of the Luo family was visiting with his sister.
Huo Hong had heard his friends mention this sister many times, but had never seen her. Now that he heard that the other party was willing to bring his sister to his home, he quickly got up to greet her.
"She's just a little girl, what's so good about her!" Huo Yuan was very disapproving, "Who can be prettier than Sister Cheng Le!"
He said this because all the noble ladies, big and small, that he had met in the capital city were like they were cast in the same mold: gentle, dignified, tactful, and elegant.
It’s not that girls like this are bad, it’s just that Huo Yuan doesn’t like them. He always feels that such girls are too rigid and boring.
But his "sister" Huo Chengle was different. She grew up in the countryside before she was six years old. Although she had become more restrained in her temperament after living in the capital for a few years, she was still different from those noble ladies overall.
Therefore, in his heart, his sister is the best in the world.
While thinking, he joked with his sister Huo Chengle: "I have never seen a girl more lovely than you, but you are precious to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuan heard his brother's laughter, and then heard him say: "Little sister Yuhe is not very old, but she is well-read. She is many times better than my brother!"
What? Better than me. Huo Yuan immediately stopped working when he heard this. He stood up and walked out. He wanted to see who this little girl was!
After a few quick steps, he saw Luo Yuhe.
Luo Yuhe was petite and looked no more than eleven or twelve years old.
The round little face is white with a rosy glow, just like the petals of peach blossoms blooming on the branches in spring.
A pair of big black eyes seemed to contain two clear springs, clear, bright and full of cleverness; the long eyelashes fluttered like two small fans.
Under the small nose, the cherry-like mouth is slightly pouted, which is exactly the right kind of cuteness.
She was wearing a light pink skirt with a bow made of a ribbon of the same color tied around her waist. At the end of the hanging ribbon was a pair of golden bells, which made crisp sounds as she walked.
It sounds really good!
Her hair was combed into two buns and tied with two silk ribbons inlaid with pearls. A few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, making her look more cute and naive.
At this time, Luo Yuhe was holding an exquisite small round fan in her hand, with a pattern of a cat catching butterflies embroidered on the fan.
Huo Yuan had never seen a noble lady like this before. It really fits the saying: quiet as a virgin, swift as a rabbit.
He was originally still full of unconvinced, but when he saw Luo Yuhe like this, he was stunned for a moment.
