Chapter 27
Since Huo Jiuge returned home, he occasionally went out to pretend to be a man to diagnose diseases, but also stayed in his yard and read history books.

She had to understand what happened in the year when the original owner's parents were killed so that she could start investigating.

A pattering spring rain announced the end of the cold winter. Huo Jiuge's yard was located in a remote place, and he could not feel the coming of spring yet.

That day, when she was reading in the yard as usual, she caught a glimpse of Dongmei walking in angrily, holding a food box in her hand. It seemed that she had gone to the kitchen to get something.

As the ladies of the house, in addition to three meals a day, they also have extra snacks and tea.

But usually Dongmei wasn't as angry as she was now. Seeing her like this, Huo Jiuge put down the book and asked, "Dongmei, what's wrong with you?"

"Miss, they are such a bully!" Dongmei put the food box heavily on the stone bench, and then couldn't help complaining to Huo Jiuge: "The beginning of spring these days, logically speaking, the house should be prepared The slaves went to the kitchen to get the spring cakes, but they said there was no share for us. I reasoned with them about why all the young ladies and gentlemen in the second room had them, but not our young lady? As a result, those people said that other young ladies’ rules were like this, and it was our young lady who chose the one. They were picky, and they also said that whatever the other masters wanted to eat, they asked the small kitchen to cook it, or provided subsidies for them to prepare it and send it to them. If we ladies want to eat well, we can learn from their methods. "

Dongmei spoke softer and quieter, but Huo Jiuge still understood. It turned out that it was the maids and women in the house who took advantage of the situation and deliberately embarrassed her. They knew that her yard was in the most remote location and there would be no trouble. Kitchen, but why do you say this just so that you can reward them with money?

But they have all forgotten that Huo Jiuge is the young master of this house. Although it seems that Mrs. Qin did not treat her niece badly, Huo Qingshang did not take her turn until Huo Qingshang did not take all her food and clothing expenses. her.

Now that the servants dare to openly embarrass the people in Hexiangyuan, it is difficult to say that the Qin family is not contributing to this.

Huo Jiuge looked at the food box on the stone bench and suddenly thought that in half a month it would be time for the imperial examination. Huo Changqing, the eldest son of the Qin family, had been studying for so many years just for this imperial examination. For this, the Qin family did not hesitate to spend money. He spent a lot of money to ask his master to give him tutoring.

Seeing that this critical moment had come, she and several ladies from the capital went to the Confucius Temple to pray for blessings, guessing that the time would be coming back soon.

And in order to better pave the way for her son, she should leave those ladies to sit in the house for a while.

Huo Jiuge asked Qiu Chan about the current situation of the Qin family, and the result was just as she guessed. The ladies did not rush home after worshiping Saint Kong, but chatted together in the garden of the house.

Upon hearing the news, Huo Jiuge immediately asked Qiu Chan to bring her the lake-blue Hunan skirt from the closet.

That dress was the original owner's birthday the year before last. Her grandmother specially invited the most famous tailor in Jinling to come and customize it for her. However, as the original owner grew up, the dress gradually became ill-fitting.

A few days ago, when Qiu Chan was taking inventory of her things, she deliberately dug out this skirt. Huo Jiuge remembered that the original owner cherished this skirt very much, so even though it no longer fit, she kept it well and now it comes in handy.

Huo Jiuge put on the dress. Although the waist was a bit tight, she didn't mind and asked Dongmei to dress her up.

"Let's go! Let's join in the fun." When everything was ready, she stood up and said to Qiu Chan and Dong Mei.Although they didn't know what medicine she was selling in the gourd, Qiu Chan and Dong Mei followed Huo Jiuge, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Walking out of the house, Huo Jiuge swept away the gloom on his face and hurried to the garden with an innocent look on his face.

The garden was full of excitement. With the help of the maid, several ladies gathered together to admire the goldfish in the lake. From time to time, they even sprinkled some feed into the lake. The way the fish fought for it made the ladies laugh.

Huo Qingshang wore a pleated skirt with a begonia red flowing moire pattern, and the smile in her eyes was really pleasing to the eye. Her beauty was as warm and eye-catching as the begonia flowers on her clothes.

Among all the ladies, she is like a stream of clear water. Looking from a distance, she is as bright as the morning glow of the sun; looking closely, she is as bright as the green waves of a flower.

She was the first person to see Huo Jiuge. She originally wanted to turn a blind eye to her, but the two of them locked eyes with each other, and Huo Jiuge smiled at her again, as if he was back to the person he was before. Huo Jiuge, who was obedient in everything, warmly invited her over.

All the ladies turned around and saw a flash of surprise in Huo Jiuge's eyes.

Previously, Huo Jiuge was withdrawn and kept to himself. He was a transparent person on almost all occasions, and then set off the intelligence of other children in the Huo family. How could he ever appear in the public eye like this?

After so many days of adjustment, Huo Jiuge has completely recuperated her body. The original owner was very good-looking, but under various blows, she gradually developed low self-esteem. She usually has a dull expression and lives in seclusion. She simply fails. God had given her such a beautiful skin, but now she was completely different. Her calm and generous look made everyone's eyes brighten.

Especially Huo Qingshang, after she saw the stunned expressions on everyone's faces when they faced Huo Jiuge, she even began to regret why she had called her over.

Qin's face gradually became embarrassed. She didn't expect that Huo Jiuge would dare to appear in front of her like this one day. She was only 14 years old and already had such an alluring appearance. Given time, , wouldn’t it be famous in the capital?

Huo Jiuge watched the changes in the expressions of the two mothers and daughters. She walked quietly in front of everyone, gave a slight salute, and then said to Huo Qingshang, who had been staring at her: "My cousin's body Are you all well now?"

Ever since that incident happened, Huo Qingshang had claimed to be ill in bed and lied to the public that she had accidentally caught a cold and was recuperating at home. However, Huo Jiuge knew that she was just pretending to be pitiful to arouse It's just grandpa's love for her.

"Thank you for your concern, sister. I'm mostly better now." She started coughing as she said this, acting like a delicate girl holding Xi Shi's heart in her arms.

She and Huo Jiuge have known each other for so many years, and she has always been her foil, but today she is a stranger to him. Although her appearance has not changed, her temperament is completely different.

She had an inexplicable sense of crisis, fearing that the character she had been managing for many years would be taken away by her.
