Lin Shu didn't expect that this splashing wealth could still be on her head, when the account book was sent to the Hexiang Courtyard, Huo Jiuge was also surprised, and after listening to the housekeeper's explanation, she realized that it was the Qin family who was frightened and had a stroke, and now she couldn't even get out of bed.

After the housekeeper left, Dongmei said happily: "Great, now the Rongguo Mansion is finally back in the hands of the young lady." ”

Looking at the thick stack of ledgers on the table, Huo Jiuge did not have a trace of happiness, but was deeply worried.

"You go and inquire and see if the Qin family is as serious as the housekeeper said." Huo Jiuge instructed the autumn cicada on the side.

"Is Miss worried that there is fraud here?" Qiu Chan, who had fought with the Qin family a few times, also understood what her young lady was worried about, after all, their second room and family had been dormant for many years just to occupy the entire Rongguo Mansion, and now they were so willing to give it up?

Huo Jiuge didn't answer her question, but just told her to be cautious and not to be discovered by others.

Qiu Cicada nodded in agreement, and then took advantage of the noon time to go to Ziwei Garden to inquire about the news.

Huo Jiuge casually flipped through an account book, and after sitting down, she read it carefully, and it wasn't until the time when the lamp was lit that she had a general understanding of the distribution of the property of the Rongguo Mansion.

The emperor valued General Huo Xin, not only for him to be an official and knight, but even the gold, silver and jewelry are also boxes of rewards, every reward is recorded, because it is a royal thing, so these things are still well kept in the house, and no one dares to touch them.

The expenditure of the government every month, there is a record on it, but the account book that does not seem to have any flaws makes Huo Jiuge fall into deep thought, she doesn't believe that the Qin family has not filled her pockets over the years, the cleaner this account book, the more suspicious she is that the Qin family is doing behind her back.

Seeing her at the end, she simply closed the ledger, and it happened that at this time, Qiu Cicada came over with the news she had inquired about.

"How?" Huo Jiuge asked.

"It's true that the Qin family is seriously ill, the slave maid saw it, but she was lying on the bed, and all the daily life was done by the subordinates, even the second son didn't even read a book recently, and he has been taking care of her by her side."

Huo Changqing is a person who is about to participate in the imperial examination, even he can give up the most important thing at the moment and choose to serve his mother, it seems that Qin's condition is really serious.

Qiu Cicada continued: "And I heard that the master has already considered asking the one from the Zen Si Temple to come back in a few days. ”

"She's only been there for a few days?" Dongmei on the side couldn't help but say loudly: "I think she is pretending, so that the master feels sorry for her, and then her daughter comes to serve her." ”

After Huo Jiuge listened to what they said, he didn't say anything, compared to the truth or falsehood of Qin's illness, there was a more important thing to do now, that is, to find the real account book.

Only by finding the real account book can she know how much property the Qin family has embezzled over the years.

She waved her hand and asked Qiu Chan to leave the affairs of Ziwei Academy alone for the time being, anyway, the Qin family's housekeeper power had been deprived, and Huo Qingshang had completely lost trust on the old man's side.

Now the status of the entire second room has dropped sharply in the old man's heart, and he will never go back to the past.

In three days, it will be the day when the imperial examination will begin, and Huo Changqing will take care of the Qin family every day in addition to reviewing his homework every day.

Even Huo Ren couldn't stand it anymore, he persuaded: "Your mother has a maid and grandmother to take care of here, so don't worry about it, or focus on the exam." ”

"Isn't it true that in your mind, father, isn't your mother more important than fame?" Huo Changqing looked coldly at the person in front of him who called himself his father, "You can take the exam again after passing the imperial examination, but Changqing only has such a mother!" ”

"That's not what I meant." Huo Ren explained to him: "How much effort your mother has put into the future of you and your sister, and it is precisely because of this reason that she is sick like this. If you are really filial, you should study harder and go to this scientific expedition with all your heart, instead of being like a woman in this inner house, holding a decoction and doing some things that the next people do!"

"It turns out that my father also knows that my mother is tired for this family, and I thought you didn't know anything." Huo Changqing grew up beside the Qin family since he was a child, so he naturally had a better relationship with her.

As for Huo Ren, his ability is mediocre, he relies on the exploits of his ancestors and elder brother to achieve today's achievements, plus he always loves to stay in the yards of other aunts on weekdays, so the father-son relationship between him and Huo Changqing is not close, especially after Huo Qingshang has an accident, he can't do anything as a father.

Not only could he not teach Huo Jiuge a lesson, but even when his wife and children were bullied, he could only watch coldly in order to protect himself, so after this incident, he was completely disappointed in Huo Ren, a father.

Compared with the cowardly Huo Ren, Huo Changqing is a little more bloody.

Huo Changqing's cold words made Huo Ren have a headache when he heard it, and he finally simply waved his sleeves and left angrily, regardless of this mess.

Although the Qin clan couldn't move now, she could still hear the quarrel between them, two lines of tears flowed from her eyes, she was proud and conceited in the past, but now she didn't seem to be any different from those old women outside.

And all of this is caused by Huo Jiuge! She must make her pay a hundred times more pain than herself!

Qin's hands clutched the sheets tightly, hatred had taken over all her sanity!

The day Huo Changqing participated in the imperial examination was a rare sunny day, and the whole family saw him off, except for Huo Qingshang, who was still in bed, and the Qin family was already far away in Zen Xi Temple, even Huo Jiuge went.

Everyone took turns to say auspicious words to Huo Changqing, but when it was Huo Jiuge's turn, Huo Changqing directly skipped her, and then went straight to the examination room.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, they all knew the reason why he did this, in the past, maybe he said a few words about his no, but today, as a person who is about to take the exam, naturally everything must be based on him.

The entrance of the Confucius Temple was crowded with people to see them off, and when the time came, after the candidates entered, they were rushed to the designated place to wait.

Then I saw a large sedan chair in all directions, gradually coming from the other end of the street, and after getting off the sedan chair, a person wearing an official uniform walked out of the sedan chair.

He is the chief examiner of the imperial examination - Pei Jingxing.

I saw that he walked unhurriedly, and after walking to the steps, he saluted a stick of incense in front of the statue of Confucius, and then walked into the examination room.
