Huo Jiuge looked at her grandfather in front of her, she stopped awkwardly, and then called: "Grandpa." ”

"Hmm." Although the old man didn't say that she was not in front of her, the expression on his face showed his dissatisfaction with her behavior, you know, she was a big mistake to go home so late as a lady.

Just when Huo Jiuge was thinking about how to explain to him, Pei Jingxing got out of the carriage on the other side, and he said to her grandfather in front of Huo Jiuge: "It is rumored that the Rongguo Mansion has a strict family education, and this young lady said that her daughter from the Rongguo Mansion appeared in the Juxing Building, and the official had no way for a while, so he brought her here. ”

Pei Jingxing's attitude was deferential, which was very different from the image of his unkindness in people's mouths, his gaze fell on Huo Jiuge, and he saw all the expressions on her face.

Because of an accident many years ago, the old man Huo fell ill, so he resigned, and now when he heard others call him Admiral Huo again, his heart was surging like a tide.

"Jiuge is stubborn, and Master Lao Pei is worried." Old Man Huo looked at the young man in front of him, although he was no longer an official in the court, but he still knew the complicated and tortuous relationships in the court.

Huo Jiuge looked at Pei Jingxing with resentful eyes, as if complaining about why he didn't speak well.

Old Man Huo is an old-fashioned person, if he knew that he not only went home so late, but also went to the restaurant, it is estimated that she would be scolded again.

And what else does the other party do when he knows this, this is clearly to let himself fall into injustice.

And when Pei Jingxing received the look from her, not only did he accept it if he didn't see it, but he also added fuel to the fire and said: "Since Miss Huo has arrived home safely, then I won't bother." He was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he suddenly stopped, and then added as if he remembered something: "Although the Shangsi Festival has been going on all night in the past few days, and it is very lively, but this fish is mixed, and it is easy to be targeted by gangsters." ”

His gaze fell on Huo Jiuge, looking awe-inspiring, as if the elders were admonishing the juniors.

"Thank you for reminding me, Jiuge will never go out so late in the future, today's grace, in the future, I will take it as a reward, if it is late today, please go slowly!" Huo Jiuge said this with a smile, but when he looked closely, he found that her smile was like a mask on her face, and looking at the curvature of the corners of her mouth, she even felt a little chilled.

But this is also in line with her age, and her current appearance falls in Pei Jingxing's eyes, like a young beast that has just faced the world alone, and directly exposed its most ferocious appearance when it encounters danger, trying to scare away the people who are ready to hurt it.

It's a pity that her move doesn't have any deterrent effect on real jackals, tigers and leopards.

Soon, Old Man Huo loudly stopped her behavior: "Nine songs! Don't be rude to Master Pei!"

Just like this, the originally fierce young beast was so frightened that it put away its claws, and then revealed its soft and cute face.

Looking at her transformation, Pei Jingxing smiled, "Miss Huo is really straightforward!" It's really worthy of being behind the door, and his temperament is really straightforward. ”

"Master Pei praised it falsely, Jiu Ge is just worried that if you go back too late, you will be targeted by some bad guys." Huo Jiuge returned his words as they were.

After saying this, she turned to Old Man Huo and said, "Grandpa, if there is nothing to do, then I will go back first." ”

"Hmm." Old Man Huo was afraid that she would stay here and say something unpleasant, so he nodded and agreed.

After getting his approval, Huo Jiuge immediately left this Shura field, and now Pei Jingxing and Old Man Huo are left, out of gratitude, Old Man Huo proposed to invite Pei Jingxing to the house to drink tea before leaving.

Pei Jingxing looked at the back that was about to disappear in front of him, and said, "It's not too late now, the official still has important things to deal with, so I won't bother this time." ”

Seeing him say this, Old Man Huo didn't keep it anymore, but just asked people to prepare gifts and send them to his house, and he was the right to send Huo Jiuge back as a thank you gift this time.

Huo Jiuge had just walked to the gate of the Lotus Courtyard when he saw the two figures outside the gate who were looking around.

It was Qiu Chan and Dong Mei, since Huo Jiuge jumped out of the carriage without any explanation to chase the mysterious person she saw in the crowd, these two girls have been worried about her safety.

Seeing that their young lady came back so late, as soon as they saw her, Qiu Chan and Dong Mei surrounded her, and they didn't put their hands down until they confirmed that she was really okay.

"Miss, where have you been? Slaves and maids are worried about you. Dongmei's eyes were red, and at first glance, it was caused by seeing herself just now and being too excited.

Huo Jiuge touched her head, and then comforted: "Didn't I come back in a good way." ”

"Miss, next time you encounter something like today, you can directly order me, where do you need to take the risk yourself." Qiu Cicada is a little more mature than Dongmei, and she knows that her young lady must have her own reasons for doing this, but even so, she doesn't want her to be in danger.

Huo Jiuge saw that the two girls were so loyal, and all the haze in her heart was emptied, but at this time, Qiu Cicada saw her scattered hair, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

After her reminder, Huo Jiuge thought that he had lost his hairpin, probably because he accidentally dropped it when he was fighting with that mysterious person, but it was a pity that he only wore it once and fell off after wearing such a good thing.

"It's okay, it's just that when there were a lot of people before, I accidentally squeezed it out."

"Do you want the slave to look for it?"

"No, you don't." Huo Jiuge shook his head and said, "I didn't know that it fell in that place, it's so late, it's not safe for you to go out, I guess you have already been picked up." ”

Hearing Huo Jiuge say this, Qiu Chan said with a little regret: "Miss likes this hairpin so much, what a pity it fell off." ”

"It's fine." Huo Jiuge said nonchalantly: "What is more important than the hairpin is your safety, if it falls, it will fall." ”

She took Qiu Cicada and Dongmei into the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard with them, and at this time brought a message from the Ziwei Courtyard.

"Miss, the second lady has taken the eldest lady back to her parents' house."

"And isn't Madame's maiden home Jiaozhou? Thousands of miles away, won't it take a few months to come back? Dongmei thought that in the past few months, without the Qin family's interference, they didn't know how nourishing their lives were.

But Begonia's words below were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing her hope.

"I heard that the second lady's brother and his promotion have been promoted, and they have served in the military department in the past few days, and now they have moved their family to the capital, and even Master Qin and Mrs. Qin have come with them."

Huo Jiuge had learned the news that they would move to the capital from the mouth of Old Madam Qin last time, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

Now the real ledger doesn't know where it is hidden by the Qin family, and he is reminded by the system to save people, and he doesn't know who that person is.

After thinking about it for a while, she decided to settle the matter during the time when the Qin family was not in the Rongguo Mansion.
