He Qihuang deliberately reduced the living expenses of Liu Qiaoruo and others and did not hide it, she deliberately let her subordinates discuss, just to spread the word to Huo Qiyou's ears, to see if he would favor Liu Qiaoruo's mother and daughter.

Huo Qiyou had long known about this from his subordinates, but he was still silent, but he was not completely inactive, he asked people to quietly let Lai Shun be punished, and then drove him out of Huo Mansion.

In his Huo house, he doesn't raise animals that eat inside and outside.

"Young Master, do you really want to leave it alone?" Qu Shaohuan felt that He Qihuang had gone too far this time, and couldn't help asking, "Do you want me to send some silver taels in private?" In this great winter, if you don't eat enough, you will easily freeze. ”

That's right." It's rare to find a stone like a stone.

She's smart and doesn't let herself go hungry.

This is what Huo Qiyou has observed these days, if Liu Qiaoruo is not the Liu Qiaoruo he has known in the past four years, she has a lot of ingenuity, which is enough for several of them to eat and drink, otherwise, he can also send her to the calligraphy and painting shop to buy all the calligraphy and paintings for sale.

However, the fact that she is literate makes him quite puzzled, according to his later investigation, the Liu family even has a problem with life, in order to make a good life for herself, her stepmother will force her to marry into the Huo family, how can she learn to write, and even write that famous hand?

Also, she actually started to read medical books, and she was still making annotations on them, which felt like what a person familiar with medicine would do, which made him even more puzzled and curious.

How many more surprises did she have to give him?

"Haven't the people sent to Xunhe Town come back yet?"

"It's coming." Shi Ding replied simply.

"Hmm." Huo Qiyou replied lightly and stood up.

Shi Ding and Qu Shaohuan both thought that the young master was going to the abandoned house for dinner, and Shi Ding followed him on weekdays, Qu Shaohuan couldn't help but ask: "Can I go to the abandoned house with the young master?" ”

What are you going to do?" Huo Qiyou looked at him puzzled.

Just ...... "The things cooked by the young lady are so delicious, so he envies Shi Ding, who can accompany him every time."

Huo Qiyou also seemed to have guessed Qu Shaohuan's thoughts, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and deliberately laughed: "I'm going to Huangyuan, do you want to follow me too?" ”

Shi Ding and Qu Shaohuan were stunned, and some couldn't react.

"I'll go to dinner with He Qihuang and let someone prepare it." After giving the order, Huo Qiyou walked out of the study.

Shi Ding and Qu Shaohuan stayed in place for a long time, until they could no longer see the figure of the young master, and the two of them came back to their senses, but they still looked puzzled.

Qu Shaohuan asked, "Young master, are you tired of eating the young lady's cooking?" ”

"Impossible, yesterday the young master ate the food from the young lady's place." Shi Ding replied firmly, "But...... Does the young master really want to ignore this matter? ”

He has short hands and a soft mouth, and has been often fed by Liu Qiaoruo recently, so Shi Ding's heart has also begun to favor Liu Qiaoruo's side, but he will not disobey the young master's orders because of this, so he can only be distressed.

"We can only act on the young master's orders, understand?" Qu Shaohuan patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the study.

Seeing this, Shi Ding hurriedly followed.

This side, Huo Qiyou came to the Phoenix Garden, which is different from Liu Qiaoruo's Xin Garden, the Phoenix Garden is as its name suggests, magnificent, like a small palace, this is He Qihuang's preference, she prefers the splendid furnishings, it seems that this can show her dignity, which is very similar to her father He Guang, and what kind of father has what kind of daughter.

He glanced at the entrance of the garden, sneered, and then walked in.

Hearing that Huo Qiyou was coming, He Qihuang's mood was a little apprehensive, thinking that he was going to come to her to settle accounts, and he kept weighing how to deal with it.

As soon as she saw him, she immediately smiled and asked flatteringly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I'll dine with you."

On weekdays, Huo Qiyou eats alone a lot, and he only wants to have a meal with anyone on a whim, and I heard her eyeliner say that he often goes to the abandoned house to accompany Liu Qiaoruo's mother and daughter to eat, which really makes her envious, jealous and hateful, is it now a turn of feng shui?

didn't punish her, but accompanied her to dinner, does this mean that he doesn't care about Liu Qiaoruo that much?

With such thoughts, He Qihuang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled even more coquettishly. "You should have ordered someone to tell the concubine as soon as possible, so that the concubine could personally cook a few good dishes for you."

Huo Qiyou took her hand and said with a smile: "There's no need to make your jade hands thicker, just let the cook do that kind of thing." ”

"Hmm!" She was even happier, in her ears, what he meant was that Liu Qiaoruo was only worthy of being a cook, and as for her, of course, she was the head of the Huo Mansion. "Qiu Xiang, take out the aged Huadiao wine that I took back from Xiangguo's Mansion last time, I want to have a few drinks with the young master today."

Chapter VI

For three days, Huo Qiyou didn't come to the abandoned house, at first, Liu Qiaoruo also felt very strange, and Huo Xiangning was even more clamoring to find his father every day, but then Liu Qiaoruo's mood returned to flat.

Maybe this is the real relationship between Huo Qiyou and the original owner, cold and distant, some time ago, Huo Qiyou must have just felt fresh, and he couldn't stand the temptation of food for a while, so he would run to the abandoned house every day, and now, when the freshness fades, it will no longer appear, and that's it.

However, more and more meat and vegetables were delivered, and even the old woman who was rescued by her before also brought her own wine and chickens, and several neighbors.

Because of the poverty of the family, and the lack of harvest in the cold winter, those people were sick and had no money to see a doctor.

But I'm really just getting started...... "If there is Western medicine, Liu Qiaoruo is of course very sure, but she is only a beginner in Chinese medicine now, so she can't help but be a little hesitant, and she is even more afraid that misdiagnosis will lead to more problems, so she gave those people some broken silver and asked them to go to the doctor."

Chun'er and the nurse were dumbfounded when they saw the young lady so arrogant.

After sending the people away, Chun'er collapsed her face and muttered, "Young lady, you gave the money you earned to those people, how can we live?" ”

"Those people are poorer than us, what about me, I can still think of saving money, they are old, and they can't farm in this cold winter, how pitiful!"

That's true, but ......"

"Young lady, I also think that what Chun'er said is right, we also have to live, if other people know that you gave them the silver and ask for help, how can you get it."

The nurse also thinks that the young lady is too bodhisattva-hearted, these days, everyone thinks about themselves, if the young lady is favored, it doesn't matter, there is a young master as a backer, there is no need to worry about anything, but the young master has not come to the door these days, if the young lady is left out in the cold, then there is really no hope.
