Chapter Twenty-Seven: Seeing the Wind Makes the Rudder
Since Huo Jiuge returned home, in addition to occasionally going out to pretend to be a man to diagnose a doctor, he stayed in his yard and read the history books.
She had to find out what had happened in the year her parents were killed, so that she could find out.
A gentle spring rain announced the complete end of the cold winter, Huo Jiuge's courtyard is located in the middle of nowhere, and he can't feel the coming of spring for the time being.
On this day, when she was reading a book in the yard as usual, she caught a glimpse of Dongmei walking in angrily, still carrying a food box in her hand, and it seemed that she had gone to the kitchen to get something.
As the ladies of the house, in addition to three meals a day, they also have extra snacks and tea.
But usually Dongmei was not as angry as she is now, Huo Jiuge looked at her like this, put down the book, and asked, "Dongmei, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Miss, they're such bullies!" Dongmei put the food box on the stone bench, and then couldn't help but complain to Huo Jiuge: "In the past few days, Lichun, it stands to reason that the house should prepare spring cakes, and the slave maid went to the kitchen to get it, but they said that there was no share of us, I reasoned with them why those young ladies and sons in the second room have them, but our young ladies don't?" As a result, those people said that the rules of the other ladies were like this, and they were picky and selective for our ladies, and they also said that the other masters should let the small kitchen do whatever they wanted to eat, or take out subsidies for them to make it ready and send it over, if our ladies want to eat well, we can learn their methods......"
The more Dong Mei spoke, the quieter she became, but Huo Jiuge still understood, it turned out that those maids and wives in the house deliberately embarrassed her when they saw the wind and rudder, knowing that the location of her yard was the most remote and there would be no small kitchen, but she said this kind of thing, didn't she just let herself take money to reward them?
But they all forgot that Huo Jiuge was the young master of this mansion, although on the surface, the Qin family did not treat her niece badly, but all her food and clothing were her turn after Huo Qingshang didn't want it.
Now the subordinates dare to embarrass the people of their Hexiang Courtyard, and it is difficult to say that there is no Qin family's push.
Huo Jiuge looked at the food box on the stone bench, and suddenly thought that it would be the time for the imperial examination in half a month, and the eldest son of the Qin family, Huo Changqing, had read books for so many years, for the sake of this imperial examination, for which the Qin family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to ask the master to give him tutoring.
Seeing that this critical moment had arrived, she went to the Confucius Temple to pray for blessings with several noble ladies in the capital, and estimated that the time should be back soon.
And in order to better pave the way for her son, she should leave those ladies to sit in the house for a while.
Huo Jiuge asked Qiu Chan about the current situation of the Qin family, and the result was just as she guessed, the ladies did not rush home after worshipping Sage Kong, but chatted together in the garden of the mansion.
Hearing the news, Huo Jiuge immediately asked Qiu Cicada to take out the lake blue Hunan skirt in the wardrobe for her.
When the original owner had a birthday the year before last, her grandmother specially invited the most famous tailor in Jinling to come to customize it for her, but as the original owner grew up, the dress gradually became ill-fitting.
A few days ago, when Qiu Cicada counted things, he deliberately turned out this skirt, Huo Jiuge remembered that the original owner cherished this skirt very much, so even if it didn't fit anymore, but it was well preserved, and now it came in handy.
Huo Jiuge changed into that dress, although her waist was a little tight, she didn't mind, and asked Dongmei to groom her.
"Let's go! Let's join in the fun. When everything was ready, she got up and said to Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei.
Although they didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd, Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei still followed behind Huo Jiuge, wanting to see what she was going to do.
Walking out of the house, Huo Jiuge swept away the haze on his face, and rushed to the garden with an innocent look.
The garden was bustling, and several ladies gathered together with the support of the maids, admiring the goldfish in the lake, and from time to time they sprinkled some feed into it, and the fish scrambling for each other caused the group of ladies to laugh.
Huo Qingshang wore a begonia red moire pleated skirt, with a smile in her eyes, it was really pleasing to the eye, her beauty was as warm as the begonia flowers on her clothes, and it was eye-catching.
Among the ladies, she was like a clear stream, looking at it from afar, as bright as the sun rising in the morning; Forced to observe, the scorching vegetables out of the green waves.
She was the first person to see Huo Jiuge, and originally wanted to turn a blind eye to her, but the two looked at each other, Huo Jiuge smiled at her again, as if she had returned to the previous Huo Jiuge who was obedient to her in everything, so she warmly invited her over.
The ladies turned around and saw a hint of surprise in Huo Jiuge's eyes.
The previous Huo Jiuge was withdrawn, he had always been alone, and he was a transparent person on almost all occasions, and then he set off the intelligence and cleverness of the other children of the Huo family, how could he have appeared in everyone's sight like this.
After so many days of adjustment, Huo Jiuge has completely recuperated this body, the original owner was originally very good-looking, but under all kinds of blows, she gradually developed an inferiority complex, her expression was wooden on weekdays, and she lived in a simple place, she simply lived up to the good-looking skin that God gave her, but now it is very different, her down-and-out and generous appearance makes everyone's eyes shine.
Especially Huo Qingshang, after she saw the amazing look on everyone's faces when they faced Huo Jiuge, she even began to regret why she called her over.
Qin's face gradually became embarrassed, she didn't expect Huo Jiuge to dare to appear in front of her eyes like this one day, she was only fourteen years old, and she already had such a captivating posture, given time, wouldn't she be famous in the capital?
Huo Jiuge saw the changes in the expressions of the two mothers and daughters, she walked to everyone quietly, bowed slightly, and then said to Huo Qingshang, who had been staring at her: "Is my cousin's body all right now?" ”
Since that incident, Huo Qingshang has claimed that he is sick in bed, and lied to the outside world that he accidentally caught the wind and cold and is recuperating at home, but Huo Jiuge knows that her trick is just pretending to be pitiful, so as to arouse her grandfather's pity for her.
"Thank you sister for your concern, I'm half better now." As she spoke, she coughed, making a delicate look like Shih Tzu.
"As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread, so my sister should be more careful." Huo Jiuge pretended to be concerned and said.
The ladies didn't understand the story, they just thought that Huo Jiuge was just a normal concern, and they praised the Qin family's teaching, not only did they raise their daughter so well, but even Huo Jiuge was taught so sensibly by her.
Qin Shi was talking about where and where, but her eyes kept staring at Huo Jiuge, she wanted to see, what was she going to do when she suddenly appeared in front of them this time?
