Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pretending to be pitiful
In the exclamation of everyone, Huo Jiuge handed the tea to Mrs. Huang.
Mrs. Huang looked at the lotus flower at the bottom of the bowl and was also amazed, and after taking a sip, she said hello a few times.
"It's just a little trick to carve insects." Huo Jiuge said lightly.
Insect carving skills? If Huo Jiuge's skill was just a small skill of carving insects, then Huo Qingshang was the class just now.
From the moment Huo Jiu Ge turned into a lotus flower, Huo Qingshang's face changed, she had studied tea art for many years, and naturally understood how difficult this kind of transformation technique was for tea artists.
I haven't been able to appreciate one or two of them after studying hard for many years, but Huo Jiuge has learned this stunt, which shows that her tea art should be far above herself!
And in the face of such a naked provocation, she didn't have any way to fight back, she could only let her compare herself like this, Huo Qingshang was so angry that he gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word for a long time.
It was her mother who took the lead in opening her mouth: "I didn't expect Jiu Ge to have this stunt, it's really surprising." β
Huo Jiu Ge replied to her with a smile: "This is when I was in Jinling, my grandmother specially invited someone to teach me, Jiu Ge studied for three years to conjure flowers and plants, where can I compare to my sister who can do it with the fragrance of tea after only a few days of self-study?" β
Qin's expression froze, but at this time, the other ladies stood up and said: "The tea artist who knows this kind of transformation technique, I'm afraid the entire capital will not be able to find a second person, Jiuge has this kind of stunt, so don't hide it, hurry up and use it all, let's open our eyes!" β
In the face of such hospitality, Huo Jiuge was naturally embarrassed, just as she stood up and was about to continue the performance for her ladies, she heard a "hiss", and Huo Jiuge instantly seemed to have been struck by lightning, and was stunned in place.
It was at this time that Madame Huang, who was closest to her, was the first to notice the anomaly.
"Miss Huo, your clothesβ" She looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, as if she didn't know how to speak.
Huo Jiuge didn't see any clues when she didn't move, but with her big move just now, the already tight clothes instantly opened a hole, revealing her underwear.
This is an extremely shameful thing for women who have not left the pavilion in ancient times, in order to prevent more people from seeing Huo Jiuge's embarrassment, Madame Huang quickly took off her cloak, draped it on Huo Jiuge's body, and then helped her to sit down.
"What kind of generosity and kindness, even a well-fitting dress is reluctant to make a ...... for the child" Mrs. Huang did not name names, but everyone present knew who she was talking about.
Now everyone understands that it turned out that Huo Jiuge was wearing ill-fitting clothes, which caused the clothes to collapse.
Mrs. Li on the side also helped: "Fortunately, it is in front of us, if this is seen by other people, wouldn't it discredit Miss Huo's reputation?" If you want me to say that you are true! Mrs. Li turned to the Qin family, and then continued: "Even if there are more things to do in the house, you can't ignore the child, Jiu Ge has been back for so long, why do you still let her wear her previous clothes?" β
In the face of everyone's verbal criticism, even if the Qin family was pretending, his face couldn't hold it at this time.
Huo Qingshang beside her hurriedly stood up to relieve her mother: "During the Chinese New Year before, my mother specially invited Tailor Liu from the Xicheng shop to customize clothes for us, but it was delayed because of the epidemic. β
After speaking, she looked at Huo Jiuge and said to her with an attitude of an eldest sister: "It's really hard sister, I have caused you to wait for so long, but if you don't have enough clothes, why didn't you tell me and your mother earlier?" Why bother to wear such clothes! β
On the surface, she was comforting Huo Jiuge and giving everyone an explanation by the way, but inside and outside her words, she was complaining that she was embarrassed to wear this kind of clothes.
I have to say that she is a good person, but now she has become Huo Jiuge.
Huo Jiu Ge sneered in his heart, and then pretended that he had done something wrong, "Jiu Ge just didn't want to cause trouble to his aunt, I thought that the new clothes would be sent over in a few days, but who knew that this kind of thing would happen later?" I knew that this would happen, Jiu Ge should have stayed in his yard and not come out. β
Sometimes the appropriate show of weakness is also an offense, especially when everyone sees the beautiful clothes on Huo Qingshang's body, and when they compare it with Huo Jiuge, they all understand that this is not something they have forgotten at all, but they have not remembered it at all.
Everyone is a big lady, how can they not know the clues?
At this time, Mrs. Li stood up and said, "Qingshang, don't blame Jiu Ge, look at her like that, don't freak her out then." β
Just when everyone was expecting the story to develop in that direction, Qin suddenly said in a cold voice: "Even if Jiu Ge forgets, why do you people forget it?" Is this how you serve your master? Or did you derelict yourself and deliberately embarrassed Jiu Ge? β
When this kind of thing happened, even if the Qin family was angry, he couldn't do anything to Huo Jiuge, but he was so angry with her, and when she saw that she couldn't clean up Huo Jiuge, she spread her anger on Huo Jiuge's two maids.
"Come on, drag these two maids who have no eyesight to see me down and beat twenty boards, and then drive them out of the mansion......." Qin pretended to clean up the door for everyone to see, but before she could finish speaking, Huo Jiuge interrupted her.
"Qiu Cicada and Dongmei are my personal maids, even if they are negligent for a while, I beg my aunt to give them another chance, they will definitely not dare next time."
"Jiuge, are you worried, no one will serve you in the future?" Qin pointed to the two maids and said: "Mingyue and Begonia are the two girls I personally selected and cultivated, and they are usually diligent and quick in their work, and now I will send them to be your personal maids, as for these two sloppy minions, they will be changed." β
Huo Jiuge glanced at the two maids she pointed out to her, her appearance was delicate, but there was a calculation in her eyes, and at first glance she was not a good person, not so much serving herself, but rather being sent by the Qin clan to monitor her.
"Jiu Ge thanks my aunt for her kindness, it's just that Qiu Cicada and Dongmei were left to me by my mother, and I grew up with them since I was a child, even if they are sloppy, it's my poor discipline, and my aunt will blame me."
She looked low and pleasing to her eyes, looking at everyone distressed for a while, she deliberately mentioned her mother who died early, which made everyone feel sorry for her.
