Chapter 8: Leveraging Strength
The girl wears a dark silk pleated satin skirt, with a brocade rabbit fur cloak, and the fluffy rabbit fur is piled under her neck, lining the small face that is only the size of a palm, but the bright eyes and bright teeth are light and breezy, the girl's posture is Chuchu, but what is more eye-catching is the quiet and noble posture, and every move shows everyone's demeanor.
But her father Huo Ren is just a three-grade governor of the imperial history, with his little money, where can he afford to support such a large family, and since their family moved into the Rongguo Mansion, this mansion has become a miasma.
Huo Jiuge's only elder brother inherited his father's title, was the youngest major general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and began to march with his father to fight in the war since the fifteenth, and was a hero of the whole country.
Huo Chengqi has not yet married a wife, but any reward he gets will be handed over to the account office of the Rongguo Mansion without reservation, and the Qin family will take care of it together.
Looking at their daughter's beautiful face, you know how many kickbacks they have eaten over the years, and all this should have belonged to the original owner and her brother, but they occupied the magpie's nest.
Huo Jiuge's words undoubtedly led the war to Huo Qingshang.
Sure enough, after listening to her words, Old Man Huo turned his attention to Huo Qingshang, "Is it true that she said?" ”
This was the first time that the old man had spoken to her with such an attitude, Huo Qingshang was stunned, his eyes showed a trace of panic, and before she could explain, the Qin family stood up as her mother.
"Jiuge, what are you talking about, how can Qing Shang, as your cousin, have a relationship with the third prince? You must have misunderstood something, right? It's nothing to say in front of us, but don't say it in front of outsiders. ”
Her meaning was obvious, and it was clear that Huo Jiuge was ignorant and ruined her daughter's reputation.
But Huo Jiuge was not the original owner who was frightened by them before, she was not so easy to fool.
Seeing that they didn't admit it, she could only pretend to be surprised and said: "My cousin and the third prince are ruthless, so why did the third prince find me when I entered the palace and let me fulfill him and my cousin?" What else to say Since the first meeting at the Lantern Festival, he has never forgotten his cousin, knowing that his cousin does not want to be a concubine, he specially found me, he said that even if he was punished by the emperor, he would be with his cousin. ”
When Huo Jiuge said this, she deliberately paused, she looked at Huo Qingshang and asked, "Did my cousin ever give the third prince a purse?"
Huo Qingshang didn't expect her to ask herself like this, obviously only she and the maids around her knew about the purse, how did she know? Is it really as she said, the third prince broke off the marriage contract with her in order to marry her?
Then, isn't she the one who robs other people's husbands?
If things make a big fuss, then they will definitely destroy their image in the hearts of everyone, and maybe at that time, the royal family will not fulfill her and the three princes if they take care of face.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Huo Jiuge continued: "Originally, I didn't believe it, but seeing that the third prince took out the token of cousin you and him, and looked at the ingenious techniques on the purse, the entire capital could not find a second person except you." The two of you are so affectionate that you have made a private ...... for life."
"Jiu Ge, did you misunderstand?" The Qin clan loudly stopped what Huo Jiuge was about to say.
Maybe she was too anxious, her move caused the old man to frown, but at this time, she couldn't care about it so much, and if she didn't stop it, she was afraid that her baby daughter's reputation would really be ruined by Huo Jiuge.
So she spoke in the puzzled eyes of everyone: "That purse was originally unintentionally dropped by the Qing Shang and picked up by the third prince, where did it become the object of love in your mouth?" As the eldest lady of a famous family, you must always be careful when you speak, but you can't just say whatever comes to your mind. ”
Huo Jiuge looked at the hypocritical appearance of the person in front of her, and couldn't help laughing in her heart, at this time, she pretended to be an elder and taught herself the rules, what did she do in the early years?
If she puts one-tenth of her feelings of loving her own daughter on the original owner, the original owner will not end up unjustly dead.
Huo Jiuge lowered his head, looked like he had done something wrong, and spoke: "If it's really like what you said, aunt, why did the third prince find out what to say?" Could it be that he really doesn't like Jiu Ge, and would rather lie in front of the emperor than be with me? ”
Anyway, they didn't know what the real situation was, and it was impossible for them to find someone to verify whether what they said was true or false, so Huo Jiuge began to pretend to be pitiful.
"But even if the purse was not given to him by his cousin, but the third prince's sincerity to his cousin is real, Jiu Ge knows that without his cousin's alluring appearance and peerless talent, the third prince and I will not be happy together, it is better to let go and fulfill the happiness of him and his sister."
Huo Jiuge said every word, and everyone present was moved when they heard it, except for Huo Qingshang and her mother Qin, everyone was moved by her.
Old Man Huo also believed her words, and the Qin family wanted to struggle for something, but was blocked by Huo Jiuge's words.
"If the eldest aunt still doesn't believe in Jiuge, you might as well ask the third prince in person to see if he really doesn't marry the cousin of Qingshang."
The expression on Qin's face instantly froze, and she gritted her teeth and swallowed what she was going to say next.
How could she possibly confront the third prince face to face with her? At the beginning, she arranged her daughter's wonderful appearance at the Lantern Festival, and she waited for this opportunity for a long time.
The second room of the Huo family is not as outstanding as the big house, Huo Ren has worked hard in the officialdom for many years, and he has only mixed the position of the third grade, and this official position is still such a Beijing official that the emperor reluctantly gave him in the face of the Huo family's big house.
Although there are many heirs in the family, none of them can be a big responsibility, unlike Huo Chengqi who inherited his father's title, and he can be named a wolf before the age of twenty, although the old man Huo also cherishes the children in the second room, but the sum of them can't compare to the status of Huo Chengqi's grandson in his heart.
Sooner or later, this Rongguo Mansion will be handed over to him, and her years of hard work will finally be handed over to others, how can she agree?
Fortunately, there is also a Huo Qingshang in their family, although she is a woman, she is good-looking, and she is a well-known beauty in the capital.
But this time, it was all ruined by Huo Jiuge, a little girl, although the Qin family didn't show anything on his face, but the yin owl in his eyes couldn't hide it.
Huo Jiuge smiled when she saw it, she pretended not to know the stakes and congratulated the Qin family: "Although I broke off the marriage contract with the third prince, at least I fulfilled my cousin." ”
"My cousin is also a person in the upper half of the Rongguo Mansion, and my father will be relieved even if he is in the spirit of heaven!"
Huo Qingshang's face was blue and white by her, which was really funny.
