Chapter 32: The Art of Lighting Incense
After the Qin family knew that Huo Qingwu was being bullied, they hurriedly ran to her yard
Huo Qingwu thought that the Qin family was here to support her, so she hurriedly told her everything that happened today
"Mother, you don't know how arrogant that girl is......" she sobbed and complained, "The girl next to her is also unsightly, what is this Rongguo Mansion can't allow me to be presumptuous, I see that she obviously looks down on me, looks down on my father and mother......"
She added fuel and vinegar to talk about Huo Jiuge's crimes.
Originally, she thought that the Qin clan would be on her side, but this time she just sighed heavily, and she didn't intend to support Huo Qingwu.
"Although Jiu Ge is a little arrogant, she is right...... Qin looked like he couldn't do anything, saying that although he felt sorry for her, he couldn't do anything to Huo Jiu Ge.
"If it weren't for my father's hard work in the court over the years, the Huo family would have fallen a long time ago, how could my grandfather be so partial?" Huo Qingwu gave all the credit to her father, but she didn't know that this official position was promoted by the saint for the sake of General Huo Xin.
Huo Xin relied on his military merits to become a marquis, even in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was heavy on literature and light on martial arts, it was also an existence that everyone admired, and he exchanged for at least thirty years of peace for Great Xia in the first battle of Yecheng, otherwise the barbarian's iron cavalry would have already stepped into the Central Plains.
Although Qin Shi was secretly happy when she heard this, she still looked embarrassed on the surface, she persuaded Huo Qingwu not to be angry with Huo Jiuge, and even took out a little green hairpin for her.
"Your sister Qingshang knows that you have been wronged, so she asked me to give you this thing."
Huo Qingwu looked at this hairpin, and her eyes lit up. This thing is priceless, since the emperor ordered that kingfishers cannot be hunted, this kind of hairpin has seen one less one.
But she didn't dare to accept such a valuable thing, and after a few excuses, the Qin family insisted on stuffing the thing into her hand.
"Although this thing is precious, how can it compare to my Qingwu's golden body?" Qin Shi said hypocritically: "Seeing my daughter humiliated in vain, but I can't get justice for you, in the final analysis, it's still my useless ...... as a mother."
As she spoke, she hid her face and wept softly, Huo Changxi hurriedly said to her: "How can this be my mother's fault, it is Huo Jiuge's little slut who has no one in his eyes......"
Since Huo Jiuge acted in such a play in front of people, no one in the house dared to snub her anymore, and the clothes were quickly sent to her yard, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the style was not bad, it could be seen that it took some thought.
The delicate-minded Qiu Cicada carefully checked the clothes sent, for fear that there was something harmful hidden in them, her cautious appearance was seen by Huo Jiuge, and she smiled: "These clothes were sent by her, she is so stupid that she dares to do anything with these clothes?" ”
Qiu Cicada put down the clothes in her hand and said, "Miss made such a big stumbling block for her this time, with her kind of chicky temperament, it is always right for us to be careful." ”
Just when the two masters and servants were talking in the room, another group of people came to the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard again.
After hearing the movement outside, Huo Jiuge gave Qiu Cicada a look, and Qiu Cicada immediately walked out with understanding.
As Huo Jiuge's personal maid, when she saw so many people appearing in her young lady's yard, she scolded loudly: "Who are you? How dare you break into my young lady's yard? Who opened the door for you? ”
At the age of sixteen, she grew up in this family since she was a child, and in the case of hearing and seeing, her behavior has already taken on the appearance of a housekeeper, and she can also overwhelm people in terms of momentum.
Everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing, and at this moment, a girl who looked at her face squeezed in front of her from the crowd and said, "I let them in." ”
Qiu Chan then realized that she was the maid Mingyue who was stuffed by the Qin family, and just as she was about to ask, a grandmother who didn't look easy to mess with spoke: "Today is the day to light incense, Mrs. specially invited the master to come over and light incense to the house, and it is good to go to other masters, why do you have to look at the eyes of a girl when you get to the fifth lady, didn't your master teach you the rules of being a man?" ”
Jiang is still old and spicy, she can't get off the stage with a few words, and just as Qiu Cicada was about to further reason with her, Huo Jiuge walked out of the house.
"My yard has always been clean, and today is the first time it has been so lively."
When the words were closed, everyone saw a beautiful woman dressed in a light blue narrow waist and wide sleeves coming, and the grandma who was still talking at first saw Huo Jiuge coming, and her attitude immediately softened.
After knowing their intentions, Huo Jiuge asked the maids to prepare snacks and other entertainment, after all, lighting incense is also a tedious job.
The incense lighter took out the box he had prepared, opened it and put it in front of Huo Jiuge, and motioned for her to choose it herself.
Huo Jiuge didn't expect that this thing could be picked by himself, and he was a little surprised for a while.
The other party's reaction to looking at it explained: "This yard is your yard, Miss, so naturally you have to choose it yourself." ”
The reasons she gave were very sufficient, but Huo Jiuge felt that this was just an attempt by them to shirk their responsibilities, in short, she was skeptical about everything about the Qin family.
Looking at the dazzling incense on it, she was simply dazzled.
Seeing that she hadn't paid attention for a long time, the incense lighter recommended it to her, and she pointed to one of the incense sticks and said, "This is ambergris, taken from the deep sea; Its aroma is long-lasting and fragrant, the color is black and brown like amber, and it has a long-lasting aroma and a unique sweet and earthy fragrance. ”
"That's what my eldest sister lit in her yard, right?" Huo Jiuge looked at the ambergris that was not much left, and said, something like this is usually chosen by Huo Qingshang first, if she guessed correctly, this one should be the last one to choose.
The incense lighter did not deny it, she nodded, thinking that Huo Jiuge was not satisfied, she went on to introduce another one, and just wanted to speak, she was interrupted by Huo Jiuge.
"No, that's it." Huo Jiuge immediately pointed to this thing.
According to her instructions, the incense lighter crushed the incense she had chosen, powdered it, and put it into the incense burner, and the air in the courtyard suddenly became fresh.
After all this was done, Huo Jiuge asked Dongmei to send off the guests, and she herself went back to the house.
As soon as she entered the house with her front foot, Qiu Cicada walked in with her back foot, and after she entered the door, she also closed the door intimately, as if she was afraid of being found out something.
