Huo Jiuge's appearance was pleasing to the eye, Wen Guogong looked at her as if he admired his granddaughter, and after asking a few words about her, he suddenly turned around: "Jiu Ge is now in his prime, I don't know if there is any favorite man?" If you have one, you might as well say it and let me and your grandfather take care of it for you!"

didn't expect the other party to say this, Huo Jiuge looked at his grandfather on the side, and found that he was also looking forward to her answer at this time, it seemed that the two had already made a plan.

In ancient times, women's marriage was always in the hands of their parents, especially when a hairpin family like them was a woman, and they were almost born to maintain the interests of the family.

Thinking of this, Huo Jiu Ge couldn't help frowning, she quickly lowered her head, her cheeks showed a shy pink, and she said: "The sisters in the house have not been married yet, and the elder brother has not married a sister-in-law, where can it be Jiuge's turn?"

She is completely a girl's posture, and she has an answer in the eyes of everyone, and it seems that there is probably none.

Wen Guogong listened and touched his beard, and at this time Old Man Huo spoke: "Jiuge, you go to the mansion for a walk, you don't have to accompany me here." ”

"But grandpa." When Huo Jiuge just wanted to say that he was not familiar with the road, Wen Guogong asked someone to call a young and handsome man, only to see him walk in from the outside, and then arched his hand: "Please grandfather, Huo Tidu'an." ”

He is the grandson of Wen Guogong, his father is the Yongzhou Thorn History, but since his mother died, Wen Guogong has raised him by his side, and now Yu Linwei's deputy envoy, although the official rank is not high, but he is a young man with excellent talent and appearance.

Old Man Huo nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

"This is the young lady of the Rongguo family." Wen Guogong introduced Huo Jiuge to him, "This is the first time she has come to our mansion, and I still have something to discuss with Admiral Huo, you take Miss Huo to the mansion first." ”

Han Zan glanced up at Huo Jiuge, and then lowered his head again, he grew up in the military camp since he was a child, and he didn't understand the affairs of men and women, but recently, his maternal grandfather often mentioned Miss Rongguo Mansion in his ear, and the meaning was obvious.

Although he was reluctant, he was not easy to refuse.

Huo Jiuge also looked at the man in front of him, he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, his posture was straight, his eyebrows and eyes were resolute, and the saber on his waist attracted her attention.

The first time the two met was under the influence of both parties' homes, Han Zan was upright, walking in front of him, Huo Jiuge followed his steps unhurriedly.

The Wen family's garden pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and cornices are all in the style of the south of the Yangtze River, and they are particularly beautiful when they change the scenery step by step.

Both of them walked on their own, and they didn't say a word in between.

After Han Zan reacted, Huo Jiuge was stopping in front of a magnolia tree, I don't know why in the same season, the magnolia flower in the Lotus Courtyard had begun to gradually wither, while the magnolia flower in the Wenguo Mansion was in full bloom.

Just as she was thinking this, the group walked towards her.

"The feng shui on the Wenguo Mansion is good, you see how good this flower is"

The noisy voice attracted Huo Jiuge's attention, and as soon as she turned around, she saw a group of people behind her, the leader of which was Pei Jingxing, who had been with her several times before.

His temperament is particularly prominent in a group of elderly people, this group of people should be courtiers who are officials in the court, this time the first birthday ceremony of Wen Guogong's grandson is very large, almost covering the people with heads and faces in the capital.

Seeing him here, Huo Jiuge didn't feel strange, Huo Jiuge blessed himself in his direction.

Pei Jingxing also nodded slightly towards her.

But everyone looked stunned, but fortunately, Han Zan came over at this time to avoid their suspicion.

"Han Zhan has seen all the adults!" He bowed.

Everyone knows Han Zhan, but some people don't know Huo Jiuge's identity.

When they had gone far, one of them began to mutter, "Who is that woman?" There doesn't seem to be such a person in the capital? ”

"The young lady of the Rongguo Mansion has just returned to Beijing recently, and she won the championship at the Qujiang banquet last time!" Someone immediately added to him.

"Is it the Miss Huo family who accompanied her mother to the temple to pray for blessings and then met an accident? Didn't you say she was scared stupid? How could Deputy Envoy Han come together? ”

"Do you think she looks stupid?"

"No, it's like a smart man!"

Listening to everyone's talk about Huo Jiuge, although Pei Jingxing didn't express any opinions, his eyes were as deep as the night.

Han Zan took Huo Jiuge to a pavilion and asked her to sit here and rest.

And Huo Jiuge stared at the saber on his waist, as Yu Linwei, he naturally couldn't leave the knife no matter where he was, but the style of this knife attracted Huo Jiuge's attention.

The mysterious man she saw in front of her that day was also equipped with a horizontal knife at his waist, although the length of the two knives was different, but the workmanship and style were extremely similar.

She asked tentatively: "Where is Han Gongzi's saber fought, it looks so delicate, and there is an elder brother on Jiu Ge, who also wants to give him such a knife." ”

Han Zan touched the saber on his waist, and then returned: "This was made by the Armory House and distributed to each of us, not something I specially made for someone outside. ”

"Oh." Huo Jiuge lowered his head with a little disappointment.

"General Huo is a hussar general, and the saber he carries is naturally the best in the world, I'm afraid there is no weapon out there that can compare with it." Han Chan comforted her.

"Then according to Childe, are the most perfect weapons in the world specially made by the royal family?" Huo Jiuge followed his words and asked.

Han Zan nodded: "Now that the imperial court controls the monopoly of salt and iron, no matter how good the craftsmanship of the folk master is, he will not be able to obtain a large amount of iron to make weapons, at least in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as for other places, I don't know." ”

The Northern Zhou Dynasty is rich in resources, rich in products, and mostly famous for iron ore, some small countries or tribes around it, if you want to obtain iron ore, you must sign a treaty with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and rely on some other treasures every year to exchange for iron ore.

Iron is an important material for forging weapons, so its export is strictly controlled.

However, his sentence gave Huo Jiuge a reminder, since a saber like this kind of craftsmanship can only be manufactured by the Royal Ordnance Bureau, it means that the murderer must be hiding in the capital.

The two of them sat in the pavilion like this, and suddenly heard a sound of "plop-" on the ground, as if something had fallen into the water, the alert Han Zan immediately stood up, the sound came from behind the rockery, and he immediately went to check the situation.
