Huo Jiuge's eyes were black and white, and what she didn't know was that the reason why Pei Jingxing would come to the Rongguo Mansion this time was all because of her.

Before she fainted in Juxinglou, it was Pei Jingxing who sent her back, in order to thank the other party, Mr. Huo prepared a generous gift to thank the other party, this time Mr. Huo's birthday, because he was not in the capital, so he did not attend.

And this time, he specially brought a gift to Mr. Huo to congratulate him on his birthday, and the two had just chatted for a few words, and she appeared.

Old Man Huo looked at Huo Jiuge, who was full of embarrassment, and stopped talking several times, he didn't know much about this granddaughter, but he felt that she was very different from before.

Huo Jiuge was timid and cowardly before, and he didn't have the demeanor of the daughter of the gate at all, but he was submissive and made a lot of jokes; Now it's both wise and brave, but it's a little too much.

Dare to go out over the wall today, tomorrow may not cause any trouble, with Huo Qingwu's experience, Old Man Huo said that this kind of thing is not allowed to happen.

When Huo Jiuge took good medicine, Old Man Huo removed all the maids and servants, leaving the two grandparents alone.

He put a mahogany carved box on the table, and then opened it, Huo Jiuge took a look and found that there was a key inside, if she guessed correctly, this should be the key in charge of the storehouse.

Now that this key is only available to the Qin family and Old Man Huo, Huo Jiuge glanced at the person in front of him and didn't understand what he meant.

She is not like the other children of the Huo family, she was raised by the old man Huo since she was a child, even if she has returned to the Rongguo Mansion now, she has always had a sense of alienation from the Huo family.

Obviously, she is only fourteen years old, but sometimes she behaves far beyond her age, but today I saw her coming in through the wall from the outside, and I felt that she was still the innocent and romantic Huo Jiuge.

Even if Old Man Huo has read countless people, he has long been trained to have a pair of fiery eyes, but he can't see what the people in front of him are thinking.

Old Man Huo closed the box and then pushed it to Huo Jiuge and said, "Now that I'm old, this thing has become an ornament for me, so it's better to give it to you, and in the next few days, you will follow your aunt to learn to take care of the affairs of the house." ”

In the past few years, his health has not been as good as before, and now he has reached the stage of not leaving the decoction, and some things must be planned early

And Huo Jiuge also noticed the old man's face, even if he was sitting here talking to her, the other party's breathing was a little short, obviously there was something wrong with his body.

She asked tentatively, "Has Grandpa not slept well these days and nights?" ”

Hearing him say this, Old Man Huo sighed heavily and said, "In the past few days, I have always dreamed of your father, dreaming that he knelt in front of me in iron armor and cried, saying that he was a courtier and a father."

When he said this, Old Man Huo's eyes were obviously moist, he and Huo Xin's father-son relationship was thin, when he was young, he was busy making contributions, and when he was old, the white-haired people sent the black-haired people.

Listening to his son's cry in the dream, his heart was like a knife, and when he woke up, the pillow was already half wet.

On a bright moonlit night, short Matsuoka, dusty, sideburns like frost.

Thinking of his two children, one inherited his father's will and went to the distant border pass, and the other sent her to Jinling at a young age because he listened to the slander of the Taoist priest.

Perhaps out of guilt, Old Man Huo didn't reprimand Huo Jiuge for overstepping his manners, he just said that if she still wants to go out to play in the future, she will bring a few more maids and servants to protect her safety.

Regarding Old Man Huo's abnormality, Huo Jiuge was vigilant, she took the key handed over by the other party and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, Jiu Ge will definitely study with his aunt and won't trouble you!"

Old Man Huo nodded and said, "Seeing that you are so sensible, one day when I go to Jiuquan, I can also explain when I see Ziheng." ”

Ziheng is the word of Huo Jiuge's father Huo Xin, and usually only people close to him will call him that, but now that Old Man Huo is saying this, it seems that there is really something wrong with his body.

Huo Jiuge was silent on the surface, but in his heart he had already decided to investigate first.

Realizing that he might have lost his words, Old Man Huo hurriedly pulled the topic back, and he remembered something, "In a few days, it will be the eldest grandson of Wen Guogong, and he sent someone to send an invitation, and you will accompany me to go when the time comes." ”

Ordinary banquet invitations are attended by the Qin family on behalf of the Rongguo Mansion, but this time is different, Wen Guogong and Old Man Huo have been friends for decades, and this invitation was handed over to him by himself.

The two are about the same age, but the children and grandchildren of Old Man Huo have already been full, and Huo Chengqi, as the eldest grandson, has already been sealed as a wolf; Even Huo Changqing is a Jinshi and the first this year, and he will be able to ascend to the court in the coming day and show his strength; And Wen Guogong's eldest grandson is just one year old, and he is still a baby in swaddling clothes.

But this can't be blamed on him, if you want to blame it, you can only blame his son for marrying the county lord before, the two couples have not given birth to a boy and a girl for many years, and finally gave birth to a girl, and within a few years, the county lord died of incense.

After three years of mourning, Wen Shizi renewed the daughter of a scholar's family, so that time was naturally delayed.

Now that he has passed the sixtieth year, he has finally waited for his eldest grandson, Wen Guogong was very happy, and sent the invitation early.

Normally, on occasions like this, Old Man Huo usually brings men like Huo Changqing with him, but this time he brought Huo Jiuge, which is enough to see that his current focus has shifted.

Huo Jiuge listened to Wen Guogong in his mouth, and only felt that the name was a little familiar, but he couldn't figure out who it was for a while.

She returned to her yard with the key her grandfather had given her and the doubts in her heart.

And over there, Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei saw that she hadn't come back so late, and thought that something had happened to her on the way, and they were looking at her at the door anxiously.

When they saw the familiar figure appear in front of their eyes, the stone in the hearts of the two of them completely fell.

As soon as he entered the house, Huo Jiuge distributed the gifts he brought from outside to them, and afterwards explained to Qiu Chan and asked her to check on the doctor who was responsible for diagnosing Old Man Huo.

"Miss is so dignified, why should you let your sister stare at the doctor next to the master, isn't it?" As soon as Dong Mei asked, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, she quickly stopped, her eyes were round, she had been by Huo Jiuge's side for so long, and her temperament gradually became smoother.

Qiu Cicada is smarter than her, but as long as Huo Jiuge tells her to do something, she won't ask the reason, just do it.

The group of people in the second room are ambitious, and they are eyeing the Rongguo Mansion, and after suffering several losses at the hands of their own young lady, they are now putting their minds on Old Man Huo.
