Old Master Huo, upon hearing this, truly felt at ease.
"That's good," Old Master Huo said, "You can indeed rest well at home. Your father will be back tomorrow, and tomorrow night your whole family should come over to the old house, so we can have a proper chat."
"Heh, I'll have to ask my second brother for advice then," Huo Zheqian said. "I need to learn more about managing local affairs."
"Is great uncle going to work elsewhere?" Huo Yingjie asked. He didn't know the specifics because he wasn't in Yanjing during the New Year.
"Yes, a position in Nanhu Province," Huo Zheqian said. "After these few years there, I'll be able to retire."
"What about my father?" Huo Yingjie asked, surmising in his heart that the reason his great uncle was leaving was that his father was returning to the capital.
Indeed, it was somewhat improper to have both brothers working in the headquarters while both holding important positions.
