Chapter 91: The First Birthday Banquet
The time soon came to the day of the first birthday banquet, and Old Man Huo sent someone to invite her early in the morning.
Qiu Chan combed Huo Jiuge's hair and said, "The doctor who is responsible for diagnosing the old man is Lin Tangzhi from the Huo family's pharmacy, Doctor Lin. He is the doctor that the master is used to on weekdays, so he has always come to the house every half a month to check the pulse of the master, and according to your instructions, Miss, I have asked him to prescribe the medicine list for the master every month. ”
After that, she took out a stack of medicine lists from her arms and handed them to Huo Jiuge, some of them were even a little yellow, and it looked like it had been a long time.
Huo Jiuge took the medicine list and looked at it carefully, she started from the latest, flipped through them one by one, and found no clues.
Old Man Huo's condition has only worsened recently, but the recent medicine list is prescribed with some nourishing medicinal materials, even if each medicine list is different, but it is basically the same.
It seems that the problem is not with Dr. Lin.
After Huo Jiuge read half of it, he put down the list in his hand and asked, "This medicine is prescribed, who is responsible for boiling it?" ”
"The master has a special kitchen, and usually his meals and soups are prepared by that kitchen." Autumn Cicada replied.
Since there is a special kitchen, it means that it is difficult for ordinary people to intervene, and this matter has gradually become tricky.
After Qiu Chan finished the makeup on her face, she took out a lip grease from the drawer and asked her to take a sip, but Huo Jiuge looked at the red color and suddenly felt upset.
She took the lipstick and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she crumpled it into a ball, not intending to apply it to her mouth.
For her abnormality, Qiu Cicada saw it in her eyes, and just wanted to say that it looked good even if she didn't wear lip balm, Huo Jiuge stood up and said, "It's not early, grandpa is still waiting for us outside, let's go!" ”
Qiu Cicada and Dongmei looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, so they quickly followed.
Old Man Huo watched the elegant Huo Jiuge appear in front of him, and he was stunned, she didn't wear what he had sent before, although she was wearing a pale pink azalea skirt, which made her whole person fresh and refined, but the headdress was very simple, which was different from what he expected.
The things he sent were all luxurious and exquisite, and he thought she would like them.
But even Huo Jiuge like this still has a beauty that makes people can't take their eyes off, Old Man Huo didn't say anything, but took him into the carriage together.
As soon as the two of them left on the front foot, the Qin family on the back foot already knew that Old Man Huo had taken her to attend the first birthday banquet of Wen Guogong's grandson.
Because Huo Qingshang was confined to Wangshu Pavilion by her, she lied that she was sick, and Huo Changqing, who had always been loved by Old Man Huo, was hunting with the sons of other princes and nobles at this time, she originally thought that this time Old Man Huo would take Huo Changbai or go alone, but she never expected that he would take Huo Jiuge's little slut!
She looked out of the door with resentful eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "This cheap hoof is really a good means!" ”
Huo Jiuge in the carriage sneezed, she rubbed her nose, and thought it was the reason why she was blowing the wind.
The Mansion of Wenguo is not far away, and the lords of the two families often make an appointment to walk and play chess together, so before Huo Jiuge can come to his senses, someone outside reminds him that he has arrived.
Huo Jiuge got out of the carriage with the support of Qiu Cicada and Dong Mei, because they came early, so there were not many guests yet.
And the prince of the Wenguo Mansion saw that Old Man Huo got off the carriage, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "My father was talking to you early in the morning, so let me wait here early." ”
Although the Wen family and the Huo family are both dukes, they think that the title of the Huo family is specially awarded by the emperor for Huo Xin's hard work, and because the emperor remembers the friendship between the two when they were young, he also attaches great importance to the people of the Huo family.
However, the title of their Wen family has been hereditary and has been passed down for several generations, and now this lineage is due to the scarcity of men, so they have no people who can speak in the court, and they are relying on the blessing of their ancestors to barely maintain the glory they see now.
So although it is also a title, the status of the Huo family is a little higher.
After greeting Old Man Huo, Shizi turned to look at Huo Jiuge on the side, and he was puzzled: "Who is this?" ”
He knew that the Huo family had a talented girl in the capital, Huo Qingshang, and he had seen it a few times before at the banquet, but the girl in front of him looked very angry.
Although he has the appearance of a peach blossom, he has never seen it.
Old Man Huo hurriedly introduced him: "This is Jiuge, Ziheng's young daughter." ”
After his reminder, the other party immediately recalled, "It turned out to be the daughter of Jun'an Hou, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
He didn't participate in the Qujiang banquet last time, but he had also heard people mention it, saying that the reputation of this talented woman in the capital was about to change hands, and as for the new owner of this title, he naturally let the one standing in front of him.
However, at that time, Wen Shizi only laughed at others, after all, although Jun'anhou had outstanding ability, his daughter was mediocre in qualifications, and the jokes she made before were still a joke in the capital.
Huo Jiuge smiled faintly: "The prince is polite." ”
Looking at the plaque outside the door of Wen Guogong's mansion, she thought that she had saved the little girl in the shop on the outskirts of Beijing before, she said that her name was Wen Yan, although she did not indicate her identity, but there was probably not much left of the entire capital surnamed Wen except for such a family.
Thinking of her beautiful temperament again, Huo Jiuge concluded that Wen Yan was the young lady in this house.
Wen Shizi looked at the girl in front of him, and instantly felt that he was too unprovoked before, maybe she was really talented and beautiful.
He welcomed the two into the mansion, and asked his subordinates to inform his father that the people from the Rongguo Mansion had arrived, and then personally made tea and entertained them.
Huo Jiuge looked outside, the mountains and vines in the garden of the Wenguo Mansion were very elegant, although the size of the mansion was not as large as the Rongguo Mansion, but in terms of scenery, it was better.
Originally, the scenery of the Rongguo Mansion was also one of the best among the ministers, but since those in the second room moved in, they used the reason of feng shui to renovate it vigorously, and at that time, Old Man Huo was in the pain of losing his son, so he went with them.
So now I see that scene as soon as I enter the door, although the style is gorgeous, but it is still not as good as before.
Huo Jiuge thought so, so she withdrew her eyes, she flipped through the tea lid, and took a sip, at this time, Wen Guogong came over with a cane, and when he saw Old Man Huo, he was very close.
He looked at Huo Jiu Ge and said, "This is Jiu Ge, right?" ”
Just when Huo Jiuge was wondering how he knew himself, he immediately said: "Time flies so fast, you are so old in a blink of an eye, thinking of your first birthday banquet back then, it seems like it was yesterday."
Wen Guogong: "Do you remember me?" I hugged you when you were a kid! ”
Huo Jiuge: "Old man, who are you?" ”
