Chapter 55: Deliberate Humility

Old Madam Qin immediately changed her smile and said, "Isn't this Qingsong's child transferred to the capital, I thought that I hadn't seen Wan Fang for a long time, so I took this opportunity to come and see her." ”

Qin Qingsong is the elder brother of the Qin family, and he has always been a minor official in the Nanhai District before, and later because of his meritorious service in resisting the Japanese invaders, he was specially promoted to the county guard, and now he has been transferred to the capital, and it seems that he has also been reused by the emperor.

The Qin clan was overjoyed when he heard the news, "Brother Zhen has been transferred back to the capital?" At this time, the Qin family was as happy as a teenage girl.

"Am I still lying to you?" Old Madam Qin smiled and said, "Your brother is going to take up his post in the military department in a few days, and now he is still on the road, I am thinking of you in my heart, so I came early." ”

This is undoubtedly great news for the Qin family, and now that she has her mother's support, she has a little more confidence.

Old Madam Qin looked around and found that she didn't see the figure she wanted to see, she said, "What about Qingshang?" Why didn't she come to greet me when she saw me coming, did she feel unwell? Or is it inconvenient to meet people? ”

She is such a daughter as Qin Wanfang, she loves the house and Wu, she naturally loves Huo Qingshang, the granddaughter, and she doesn't see her, which makes her a little suspicious, wondering if there is something wrong with her.

What she didn't know was that her most beloved granddaughter was now eating fasting and chanting Buddha in the Zen Temple.

The Qin family originally wanted to open her mouth to tell her mother the truth, but when she remembered that Old Man Huo was still here, she changed her words: "My daughter has always felt restless these days, and she has not found a good job in looking for famous doctors, so Qing Shang went to the temple to pray for me." ”

She said this not only to save the face of the Huo family, but also to fulfill her daughter's filial piety.

Hearing that her daughter was unwell, Old Madam Qin immediately became worried.

"Why can't you just find famous doctors? Or are there all quacks in this capital, and they can't even see this little problem? ”

When she said these things in front of everyone, when she was heard, it always felt like she was referring to something.

"You tell Qingshang to come back quickly, and I'll take you to find another doctor." Old Madam Qin said as if nothing else.

Huo Jiuge just watched the two of them sing and harmonize, silent, she secretly observed her grandfather's expression, and found that although he didn't say a word, his eyes had already shown impatience, but it was just that it was not easy to attack in front of outsiders.

It is impossible for Huo Qingshang to recite the Buddha in Zen Si Temple for a lifetime, it is only a matter of time before she comes back, but Huo Jiuge didn't expect her to come back so soon.

Everyone sat in the main hall for a while, until the little guy ran over with the news: "Hit, hit, the second son hit!" ”

Because he was in too much of a hurry, he stumbled and almost fell in front of everyone, but at this time, no one blamed him for being rude, and the first to speak was Old Man Huo, who asked, "What about Changqing now?" ”

"The second son is on his way back now, he asked the little one to come back first."

Old Madam Qin listened to the good news of the little girl, and she said happily: "Changqing has been smart since he was a child, and now that he has been admitted to the Jinshi again, it seems that he has a bright future in the future." ”

"Mother, don't say this in front of him, he's still too young to listen to this." Qin said modestly.

Generally, three days after the results of the imperial examination, followed by the Qujiang banquet, when anyone who has won the Jinshi or above will be invited, and there are many princes and nobles who are also present.

The people who attended the Qujiang banquet were all outstanding young talents, so this might as well be called an ancient blind date banquet.

The Qin family has been deployed for several years in advance for this opportunity, she not only wants Huo Changqing to be named on the gold list, but also wants Huo Qingshang to be famous all over the world from now on, she wants her children to become the most noble people in the world, so everyone who stands in her way must die!

In order to attend this banquet, she took Huo Qingshang back early, and then found the most famous tailor in the capital to cut clothes for them.

Originally, this banquet had nothing to do with Huo Jiuge, but Old Man Huo felt that although she had divorced from the third prince, she was also the young lady of the Huo family, if she was not even invited, if the rumors went out, everyone would say that she had been mistreated, so he asked the Qin family to take Huo Jiuge with him.

The last person the Qin family wants to see now is her Huo Jiuge, but she didn't dare to refuse in the face of Old Man Huo, and at the same time, she also thought that Huo Jiuge had no skills, and if she went there at that time, she could only serve as a foil for her daughter, which was ridiculed by everyone.

Thinking of this, she agreed to let Huo Jiuge go with them.

On the day the tailor came to the door, she asked the three of them to pick out the materials they wanted to wear, and the girls spread the materials on the table one by one, and the variety of materials was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

"Originally, I wanted to send the clothes to your respective yards, but considering that you are all so old, some things are better decided by yourself."

When she said this, her eyes glanced in Huo Jiuge's direction intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "Lest you don't like what I chose at that time, it will become mine again." ”

"Mother didn't choose the best thing for us that time, and some people with bad intentions would deliberately say something critical." Huo Qingwu continued her words.

Huo Qingshang said at this time: "As the eldest sister, I naturally can't compete with my sisters, you choose first, I'll pick the rest of you." ”

Huo Qingshang has also matured a lot after experiencing the incident in Zen Xi Temple, just like she said, she is a person who wants to be a nobleman, so naturally she can't go head-to-head with these rubble, lest she lose her worth.

She deliberately pretended to be generous in front of outsiders, so that others would know that no matter how they dressed themselves, they couldn't compare to their Alluring appearance.

When the person in charge of tailoring saw her say this, he also echoed: "I have long heard that Miss Huo is beautiful and kind, but now that I look at it, the rumors are true." ”

Huo Jiuge sneered in her heart, obviously she had picked up the things they didn't want before, she just let it go once, how could she become a kind-hearted person?

But since she had already said so, Huo Jiuge was not polite to her, looking at the silk in front of her, she planned to choose first.

Seeing that she didn't know what to choose for a long time, the tailor began to introduce her to the origin and use of each fabric, "This is the real silk satin of Shudi, the texture is light, and the luster color is positive; This is the tribute satin of the thirteen lines in the south of the Yangtze River, the color is bright, the dyeing is symmetrical, it was originally a special tribute to the noble products of the ladies in the palace, this is the embroidery of Suzhou, it is such a cloth that was obtained by ten embroiderers after eight months"
