Chapter Ninety-Five: A Chance Encounter on the Road
When the little young master of the Wen family caught Zhou, he grabbed a seal, and everyone said that he would be a pillar of talent in the future, and the bustle of the front yard and the desertion of the back yard were in stark contrast.
Wen Yan was lying on the bed, she followed what Huo Jiuge taught her, and after waking up, she pretended not to know anything.
Wen Shizi came over to take a look at her, perhaps out of guilt for Wen Yan, he sat on the edge of her bed, watching his daughter sleep peacefully, and his heart was filled with sighs.
Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles on her brow, someone outside called him, saying that the little young master's Zhou ceremony had begun, and Mrs. had sent herself to invite him.
Wen Shizi had no choice but to get up and leave, and when he left, he explained to the people around Wen Yan and said: "Take care of Miss, things like today can only happen once, if there is a second time, I will let you all be buried together!" ”
After this incident, when the people of Fangfei Courtyard served Wen Yan, they naturally cheered up their spirits.
Hearing what his father said to the maid, he sighed beside his bedside, and Wen Yan's tears could no longer help welling up from his eyes.
Because Huo Jiuge saved Wen Yan's life, he naturally became the guest of the entire Wen Guogong, and Wen Guogong praised her endlessly, saying that she was a woman who did not let her eyebrows, in short, she was extremely appreciative.
After all the guests dispersed, Huo Jiuge also helped Old Man Huo to leave, and halfway through the road, he suddenly stopped.
Huo Jiu Ge lifted the curtain to check the situation, but saw a carriage in front of them, just when she felt familiar, the owner of the carriage also lifted the curtain and walked down, the two looked at each other, through the dim night, Huo Jiu Ge saw a familiar face.
"What's going on up ahead?" Old Man Huo asked.
"Master Pei's carriage stopped in front, it looks like something should have gone wrong." Huo Jiuge put down the curtain and returned to the carriage, talking to the old man about the situation outside.
But when Old Man Huo heard Pei Jingxing's name, he got up and got out of the carriage, and then walked straight towards the people in front of him, and he didn't know what they said, so he glanced at Huo Jiuge.
I saw that Old Man Huo beckoned to her and motioned her to come down, while the eyes of the other were in the dark and dull environment, and the deep gaze was like the moon hanging in the sky.
She got out of the carriage and leaned over the two slightly, and Old Man Huo asked her to bring people to their mansion, and then he asked someone to repair the broken carriage.
Huo Jiuge realized that it was the carriage of his carriage that was broken, so he had no choice but to stop here, and a few steps ahead was the Rongguo Mansion, so Old Man Huo proposed to let him go to the mansion to sit first, and then leave after it was repaired.
"Then there's Miss Laujo." Pei Jingxing turned sideways and motioned for Huo Jiuge to lead the way.
The rumors about him in the outside world are mixed, but Huo Jiuge feels that the most appropriate one for him is that he wrote the eulogy at the funeral of Xiao Taibao: He always walks alone, and his reputation is ruined.
Xiao Ju is his enlightened teacher, died of tuberculosis, only thirty-four years old, Xiao Taibao never married, did not leave a man and half a woman, but there are many protégés, even Huo Jiuge's brother Huo Chengqi has been taught by him, and at his funeral, Pei Jingxing is even more disapproving in the world, he is wearing filial piety clothes, standing in front of a group of people to support the spirit of Xiao Taibao.
He was fifteen years old that year, two years before he entered the imperial examination, and the first two eulogies also laid the groundwork for his life.
The two walked side by side, Huo Jiuge's height had just reached his shoulder, she pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said: "Today's incident, if it weren't for Lord Pei's help, I'm afraid there would have been a lot of incidents, so Jiu Ge would like to thank you here." ”
In fact, about Wen Yan's falling into the water, anyone with a little brain knows that the things behind it must not be so simple, even if the two old servants ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, they didn't dare to push the master into the lake, all of this was deliberately instructed by someone.
But there is no conclusive evidence, Huo Jiuge and Han Zan alone can't convict her, but she will be bitten back.
Pei Jingxing paused, and asked in a muffled voice, "I don't know how Miss Huo should thank me?" ”
Huo Jiuge was stunned for a moment, looked back at him, and saw that he didn't look like a joke, so he said: "Grace is in danger, it stands to reason that you should be rewarded with a grass ring, but Miss Wen is still young, for your kindness, what she can do is to keep it in mind, and then pray day and night that the benefactor can be safe and sound, and turn evil into good fortune." ”
Pei Jingxing: "."
After entering the mansion, Huo Jiuge hurriedly asked people to make tea to entertain the distinguished guests, and then just as she was about to leave, a sentence came from behind: "I'm afraid that something will happen, so why does Miss Huo want to go through this troubled water?" ”
Although the main hall was brightly lit, the people serving the tea had already retreated, and now only the two of them were left, Pei Jingxing's voice was not loud, but it just fell into Huo Jiuge's ears.
Facing the other party's inquiring eyes, she said generously: "If I don't care about the safety of Miss Wen because I am afraid, and watch her become a wisp of grievances in the lake, I am afraid that I will live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of my life."
"I didn't expect you to have such a mind, you really have the style of the door, not comparable to ordinary people" Pei Jingxing took a sip of tea, and his eyebrows stretched out like the clouds in the mountains had been blurred.
"The adults praised it falsely, compared to the great achievements of the adults, Jiu Ge is simply insignificant."
"Why should Miss Huo be humble." Pei Jingxing put down the teacup and said: "I'm just in my position and plotting his politics, and Miss Huo dares to stand up and face everyone is the real strategist." ”
Just as the two of them were saying this, the descendants of the Pei family had already come over to report that the wheels of the carriage had been repaired.
Pei Jingxing got up and walked to Huo Jiuge's side and said, "I heard that the emperor is looking for a companion for the sixth princess these days, so give it a try with your talent." ”
"Thank you for the compliment!" Huo Jiu Ge bowed to him, and then said, "It's just that grandpa has been in poor health recently, and Jiu Ge just wants to be filial by his side." ”
Seeing her sincere look, Pei Jingxing didn't persuade again, maybe Old Man Huo's health is really not as bad as she said, and if he doesn't let her, he won't continue to look for a husband for her.
Waiting for Pei Jingxing to leave completely, Huo Jiuge completely relaxed his body, but at this time he heard the housekeeper's anxious voice: "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Following the voice, Huo Jiuge saw that the old man Huo, who was supported by the housekeeper, was spitting blood in his mouth, he originally wanted to open his mouth and say that he was fine, but a large stream of blood immediately gushed out of his mouth.
Huo Jiuge hurriedly ran over to support him, and then instructed the housekeeper: "Go and call the doctor over, remember to call Lin Tangzhi, who has been in charge of diagnosing grandpa, Doctor Lin." ”
"Huh—okay, okay." The housekeeper hurriedly responded, and Huo Jiuge asked the others to carry the old man to the room.
