Chapter 54
Huo Jiuge noticed that when he walked, his left foot seemed to be struggling, as if every step had to be carefully considered by him, but despite this, his steps were still very steady, and ordinary people would not notice anything abnormal at all.

This should be related to his childhood experience. He was originally the legitimate son of his family, but he accidentally got lost from his family. After going through many hardships, he finally returned home, only to find that his place in the family had long since disappeared.

His mother died young, his father ignored him, and his concubine made things difficult for him. If this situation had happened to someone else, he would have been crushed to pieces. But he turned against the wind and made a comeback. Everyone thought that he took advantage of the influence of the former Taifu, but there were also some people. I think he just returned to his original position.

After sending Huo Changqing into the examination room, they, the female family members of the mansion, did not stay long and immediately returned to the mansion in a carriage.

On the way back, Huo Jiuge and Huo Qingwu were riding in the same carriage. If they had been in the same space in the past, Huo Qingwu would have been sarcastic towards Huo Jiuge, trying to belittle her in order to elevate herself. However, This time she was unusually quiet.

There was nothing in his ears except the sound of wheels rolling across the road. The two of them lived together peacefully until the carriage stopped, and Huo Qingwu couldn't wait to get out of the carriage.

The maids outside were dumbfounded. Even if the eldest lady, who had always been dignified, became abnormal, how could even the fourth lady become so rude?
However, the one who has changed the most in the house is none other than the fifth lady. She came out of the carriage gracefully, and her every move showed everyone's style. Her body has lost the slightest shadow of before, and her eyebrows and eyes have the aura of a beauty. At this time, she probably couldn't even compare to the eldest lady.

Qiu Chan and Dong Mei had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw Huo Jiuge coming out of the carriage, they immediately greeted him.

After entering the mansion, Qiu Chan saw no one around and said softly: "Miss, I have already found out clearly that the key to the accounting room is still in Qin's hands."

Before Huo Jiuge left, he told her to find out the location of the key to the accounting room while no one else knew about it, and that she would go and check the accounting in person.

She wasn't surprised to hear Qiu Chan say this, but they had to take advantage of Qin's illness to get the real account books, otherwise with her methods, they would probably take back the housekeeper's rights soon. .

A few more days have passed and the imperial examination has ended. According to Huo Changqing himself, he did well in the examination this time. Even if he is not the top scholar, he is probably among the top three.

He looked confident, which made the old man very happy.

The Huo family already has a military commander. If there is another civil servant, then the entire court will have their own person. This is not only an incredible achievement, but also a supreme honor.

On the day when the results were released, everyone craned their necks to wait for his good news. Even the Qin family came and brought many gifts. The Qin family’s natal family was originally the prefect of Jiaozhou, ten miles away from the capital. Eighteen thousand miles away, although it was under the guise of congratulations, Huo Jiuge always felt that they had a bigger conspiracy.

The main hall was filled with gifts brought by the Qin family. The family gathered together to talk and laugh. Huo Jiuge heard their laughter as soon as he entered the hall.

Although Qin's body is not completely healed, she can at least get out of bed and walk around. In addition, today is the day when her son's results will be released, and her mother-in-law's family comes to see her from such a far away place, so she is in a good mood. , the mental state will naturally be more abundant.

Although Lin Shu was acting as the housekeeper, facing the powerful Qin family, she still remained as respectful and obedient as before. She sat aside obediently, listening to the Qin family and her mother's family reminiscing about the past, and talking about it from time to time. A few words, just to echo and make them happy.

Mrs. Qin was dressed in a vermilion and embroidered gown, with a gold hairpin in her head, and a string of huge South Australian pearls hanging around her neck. Her clothes were also embroidered with gold threads, and she was covered in gold and silver. The people who looked at her were dazzled, for fear that everyone would not know her. It seems like the family is rich.

Huo Jiuge walked into the main hall, bowed to her and said, "Hello, Mrs. Qin!" Mrs. Qin seemed to turn a deaf ear and continued talking to Mrs. Qin. Seeing her like this, Huo Jiuge left directly. Sit down to the side.

But as soon as she sat down, a scolding voice came over: "Where did this wild girl come from? Why are you so unruly? Didn't your parents teach you? The elders didn't say anything. You, a junior, can't move." ?"

Mrs. Qin secretly laughed in her heart and lowered her head to drink tea, as if she didn't see it and didn't stop her. Lin Shu on the side explained to Huo Jiuge: "Old madam, this is my eldest brother's child. He has been in Jinling before. Recently, he return"

"Did I ask you?" Mrs. Qin angrily put the tea in her hand on the table, and then said: "I think the Huo family is becoming more and more unruly. How dare a concubine interfere?" My words! You are really—" She turned to her daughter and said as if to teach her a lesson: "They don't even understand these rules. How do you, a grown lady, do it?"

When Mrs. Qin was told this by her own mother, she lowered her head in shame.

Mrs. Qin behaved herself when she opened and closed her mouth, obviously treating herself as the master.

"I have long heard that Mrs. Qin manages the family with strictness. Now I see that the rumors are indeed true. She not only manages her own family, but also has a hand in other people's family affairs." Huo Jiuge said calmly.

Mrs. Qin was just about to get angry when Mr. Huo arrived.

When he was outside just now, he had heard clearly what they were talking about inside. He also had a headache about Mrs. Qin's in-laws. When Huo Ren was going to marry Qin Wanfang, he had already sent someone to take Qin Wanfang into custody. The details of the family are all clear.

The people he sent out told him that everything was fine in the Qin family. The only shortcoming was that the head mother of the Qin family was too domineering and notoriously shrewd. She even had to take care of her husband's concubines.

At that time, he had already warned Huo Ren that with such a mother-in-law, the daughter she taught would probably not be much better. Don't marry Qin Wanfang home and then cry and beg him to send her away.

Huo Ren's official career was not going well at that time, and it happened that the Qin family had connections at that time and could help him. Of course, he wanted it. As for the old man's advice, he didn't take it to heart at all.

However, after marrying Qin Wanfang home, she found that she was not like her mother. She was generally decent and an impeccable candidate for a wife.

Mr. Huo is very satisfied with Qin's daughter-in-law, but he avoids Mrs. Qin's in-laws whenever he can, and does not want to have any entanglement with her. If she hadn't traveled all the way to the capital this time, he would have He probably won't come out to greet him.

Before they met, he heard her talking about the Huo family, and the old man felt very angry.

But no matter what, he still had to give him the face he deserved. After adjusting his mood, he walked in and said, "I have come all the way to the capital, but I didn't come far to welcome you. Please forgive me."

Hearing this voice, Mrs. Qin cursed in her mouth.
