Looking at Huo Jiuge, who was already dressed up, Dongmei praised: "Miss, this body is really good-looking. It's just that when she looked at Huo Jiuge, her face was a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Huo Jiuge saw that she didn't speak, and thought that something was wrong with her hairstyle.

"No, it's fine." Dongmei said with some hesitation: "It's just that Miss is too plain, this banquet is rare, other girls and young ladies are trying their best to dress themselves, and the slave is afraid that you will be compared to others when the time comes." ”

Her worries were superfluous in Huo Jiuge's opinion, although the Qujiang banquet was held once every three years, but for herself, this was just an ordinary banquet, even if it was an opportunity for others to change her fate, but Huo Jiuge didn't take it seriously.

She saw the scenery outside her yard through the carving on the window, and the magnolia tree outside had already produced flowers and bones, and she suddenly seemed to think of something, and she came back to her senses and opened the drawer under her dresser, only to see a wooden hairpin lying there completely.

She picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully for a while, then asked the autumn cicada to stick it on her head.

Huo Jiuge's jewelry, Qiu Cicada is familiar with it, she doesn't remember that there is such a wooden hairpin in her young lady's jewelry, although it is a wooden hairpin, but at the end of the part is inlaid with a circle of jade, even the lotus flower at the end is also carved lifelike, even if it is Qiu Cicada who is a maid, you can see that this hairpin is invaluable.

"Miss, where did this hairpin come from?" He asked while inserting the hairpin into Huo Jiuge's bun.

"This is what I found on my father's tablet the last time I was confined to the ancestral hall." Huo Jiuge thought at first that the appearance of this hairpin was deliberately pretending to be a ghost behind her back, and the first thing she suspected was the Qin family, but so much time has passed, and this hairpin has always been good by her side, and it has not caused any trouble, which makes her feel at ease.

"Then it seems that this hairpin was specially left to you by the general, otherwise why was this ancestral hall cleaned every day discovered by the young lady." Qiu Cicada didn't think deeply, looking at the lotus flower on this hairpin, it was very elegant when worn on her own lady.

Huo Jiuge smiled faintly: "Maybe." ”

It doesn't matter where this hairpin comes from, what matters is who put it there for herself to discover, Huo Jiuge has always been a disbeliever in these tricks of deception, she firmly believes that this thing must have been put there by someone to deliberately let her find it.

Although she didn't know who that person was, her intuition told her that this person had no ill will towards her, maybe it was really like Qiu Cicada said, this thing was left to the original owner by the original owner's father, and then it was discovered by herself.

According to the usual practice, Qujiang banquets are held in Qujiang Forest, and this year is no exception.

Qu Jianglin is located in the south of the capital, covering an area of about more than 100 acres, and they need to take a carriage over, and those people in the second room deliberately squeezed out Huo Jiuge, so naturally they didn't wait for her, and only left a carriage for her to pass by herself.

This is the first time Huo Jiuge has attended a banquet alone, and it is still a Qujiang banquet that they have never been to once, they did this to deliberately embarrass her, you must know that if no one leads her, she will be a little rusty to go to such a big occasion.

Huo Jiuge came from Jinling again, and there were very few people in the capital who knew her, so she would be left to dry up when the time came, and no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to integrate into the circle of the nobles in the capital, and she would only be ridiculed like a clown.

Dongmei saw that there was only one carriage left, and the others were gone, so she immediately complained: "They are too much, just leave, and they don't even wait for our young lady!"

In the face of their abandonment, Huo Jiuge was not so angry, you must know this situation, she couldn't ask for it, seeing that Dongmei still wanted to complain, she hurriedly stopped her and said: "Forget it, since my aunt and cousin have left, then let's go by ourselves." ”

The carriage was arranged by the Qin family, the appearance looked luxurious, the curtain was hung with embroidered ribbons made of colorful glass beads, the big red top hat on the roof was particularly conspicuous, the red brocade curtain and the surrounding area were embroidered with delicate and rich peony flowers, the whole car looked delicate and gorgeous, but when they went in to take a look, they found that the things inside were old and about to be thrown away, and even the cushions were about to fall off the slag.

The Qin family has always liked to do these face-saving projects, after Huo Jiuge sat down quietly, he began to close his eyes and recuperate, the Rongguo Mansion was a distance from Qujiang Yanlin, and during this time period, she could think about the next thing.

They rode the carriage all the way in, the curious Dongmei lifted the curtain, only to see the lively along the way, all kinds of hawkers in an endless stream, at this time at the end of the long street suddenly heard the golden horn chirping, the horse's hooves shook the sky, a group of people and horses quickly whipped up, surging to this side.

Huo Jiuge heard the sound, his eyes looked at the source of the sound, when they approached, there was a gust of wind, Huo Jiuge saw that the leader was wearing a dark brocade robe, followed by a group of officers and soldiers wearing fish scale armor, it seemed that he should be an official who went out to do business, and after solving the affairs, he was returning to Beijing to report on his work.

The carriage continued to drive until it reached the front of the garden, and then stopped.

As soon as Huo Jiuge got out of the carriage, he saw the Qin family and Huo Qingshang and Huo Qingwu beside her, they should have just arrived, and now they were greeting other noble ladies.

Next to your lady also stood a girl of the same age as Huo Qingshang and them, if Huo Jiuge was not mistaken, that lady should be the prime minister's wife and her daughter Jiang Ruoyun.

Qin's family was dressed in a crimson gold thin robe, a jade skirt, and a gold silk eight treasure beads on her head, she herself was plump, and now she was even richer when she was dressed like this, and she was very stylish as the mother of the family.

The Prime Minister's wife, Montessori, wore a narrow jacket of openwork white butterfly satin, a multicolored green silk and silver mouse gown, and a huge pearl bracelet on her hand.

If Huo Jiuge didn't guess wrong, the pearl in her hand was the South Australian pearl that Qin's mother brought to her when she came to visit relatives, this kind of South Australian pearl was the least produced of pearls, let alone such a big head.

It seems that the Qin family does not remember the cost in order to win the hearts of the people, and since the Montessori is willing to bring the gift that the Qin family gave her in front of people, it is naturally to show that the relationship between the two of them is extraordinary.

The folk customs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are simple, and the children and daughters have always paid attention to the orders of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker, among which the door is the most important point, and gatherings like this are often disguised blind date banquets between noble men and women, and the two ladies are smart people, so they will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

Huo Qingshang noticed something, raised his eyes and looked over here, just in time to meet Huo Jiuge's eyes.

The two were separated by a short distance, Huo Qingshang looked at her in a violet dress, she changed her original plain appearance, her complexion was already snow-white, and now her skin was lined like clotted cream, the whole person was like a piece of beautiful jade soaked in warm water, and her eyes were crystal clear, like stars in the sky, like a mountain spirit deer with no attack power.

I didn't expect her to come so soon! Huo Qingshang tried his best not to reveal too much emotion, and the moment Qin saw Huo Jiuge, his face changed suddenly.

"Huh," after Montessori saw the people in the distance, he looked at Qin with a surprised expression and said, "Isn't that your fifth girl, why haven't you seen her for a few days, and she is so beautiful?" ”

It has been more than half a month since the meeting in the Rongguo Mansion, and now seeing Huo Jiuge appear in front of people again, compared to before, it seems to be a different person.
