Sheng Chong Jinghua: There is room for the legitimate daughter of the miracle doctor

Chapter 76
On Mr. Huo's birthday, almost all the dignitaries in the city came to congratulate him. Even the emperor sent people to deliver gifts early. The thick stack of gift lists cost a lot of money to sign up for. less time.

Those rewards and gifts were finally handed over to Qin. Although she handed over her housekeeping rights, she still held the key to the accounting room tightly in her hand. Even the account book handed over to Huo Jiuge was fake. So now Lin Shu is nominally in charge of the house, but since the financial power is in the hands of the Qin family, everyone listens to her, including the banquet held this time. Due to insufficient budget, the lavishness was not as good as in previous years.

The old man didn't say anything on the surface, but when he heard other people's teasing, he still looked embarrassed. At this time, Huo Jiuge stepped forward and said: "Recently, news came from the border that Qiang Di intends to unite the surrounding tribes, large and small, in an attempt to During the raid on our border with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the soldiers were stationed at the border. When the weather was cold, they needed to wear more clothes and when they were hungry, they needed to eat. Each of these expenses added up to a large amount of money. My brother was scrimping on food and clothing at the front. Those of us who prefer to live in a corner. How can you spend so much money?"

Her words made the other party speechless. With such a capable person as Huo Chengqi in the Huo family, even if the banquet was simple, his face would be bright when it came to it.

"Jiu Ge is right." Mr. Huo touched his beard, and then looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see his grandson who had not been home for a long time across thousands of mountains and rivers, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not All he could see were red walls and green tiles. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sad: "The war on the front line is tight, how can I, an old man, have the nerve to waste it?"

As soon as the two grandsons sang and harmonized, the man's face turned red.

Although the budget of this birthday banquet was not as good as the previous ones hosted by Qin, Lin Shu still put a lot of thought into the process. Huo Jiuge came up with this idea for her.

She said that the old man loved going to the theater the most, so this year it would be better to invite a theater troupe to come to his house to perform a show specifically for him. In the past, what he cared about most was his children and grandchildren, so Huo Jiuge and Huo Changqi were together again. I personally did a lot of handiwork. When everyone saw the red ribbons tied to the books, they all asked who made such ingenious notes.

Lin Shu smiled and said, "Who else could it be? Of course she is our ingenious fifth lady. She has already started preparing for this birthday banquet. Look -" She pulled on a red belt , turned the side with the words in front of people's eyes and said: "She wrote these words word for word, it took a lot of time!"

When Lin Shu learned that the old man's birthday banquet was being prepared by herself, her first reaction was actually to refuse. On the one hand, it was not etiquette for her to prepare such a grand occasion as a concubine; On the other hand, Mrs. Qin also took away the key to the accounting room when she left. As the saying goes, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Without money, the banquet she hosted would not be on the stage at all.

When she was at a loss, Huo Jiuge came to the door. She said that she had a way to make the banquet grand and lively without spending any money. Now everyone saw it was Huo Jiuge's idea.

A group of dignitaries looked at the lively scene in front of them and said: "Anyone with a clever mind can come up with this idea, but in addition to being thoughtful, Miss Huo is also exceptionally rich in literary talent. Her good calligraphy alone is enough to practice After a long time, I really deserve to be General Huo’s daughter, and ordinary women really can’t compare to her magnanimity and talent.”

Mr. Huo felt his face light up after hearing this. He smiled and said, "Jiu Ge's personality is similar to that of my boss. He is active in mind and also brave and resourceful."

"It is a blessing for the Huo family to have a daughter like this."

Everyone just laughed and went to the stage.

Mrs. Qin followed them, her face ashen, looking at the red ribbons everywhere, she said angrily: "It's just an opportunistic trick!"

Huo Qingshang originally thought that this banquet was innovative, but when she learned that it was all Huo Jiuge's idea, she suddenly felt that these red ribbons fluttering in the wind began to dazzle her eyes. She held a handful of beauties in her hand. Fan, looking at the stage from a distance, with an imperceptible ruthlessness on his face.

Looking at Huo Jiuge who was like a spring breeze, he said fiercely in his heart: Just laugh! While you can still laugh, laugh as much as you want!Because soon you will fall into the endless abyss
Huo Jiuge didn't know what was waiting for her yet. Before the play started, as usual, it was the grandchildren's turn to give gifts to Mr. Huo.

Mrs. Qin rushed over with all her children at this time. For some reason, Huo Qingwu was also in the team. She was obviously the child of the second aunt, but she always followed Mrs. Qin. She was particularly fond of her own mother. Alienation.

The children were arranged in a row in order of eldest and youngest. Due to the absence of the eldest grandson Huo Chengqi, the first in line was Huo Changqing, the eldest son of the second wife. He had just won the Jinshi and would go to the Hanlin Academy to take up a post in a few days. , and his position in the old man's heart also plays a decisive role.After he bowed solemnly, the gift this time was presented to him.

According to what he said, this was a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum that he bought from Divine Doctor He for a huge sum of money. It has the effect of reviving the dead. Whether it is used as medicine or as a tonic, it is a rare treasure.

The miracle doctor He mentioned was now a very popular figure in the capital. No matter how many dignitaries sent people to ask him to come to the mansion to treat their illnesses, he refused, but now he was willing to sell such an expensive gift to Huo Changqing. It seemed that the two of them Good personal relationship.

Mr. Huo happily accepted the gift. Just when he was about to hand the prepared red envelope to Huo Changqing, Huo Jiuge said: "I heard that the miracle doctor He has been erratic. Even if he has held free clinics in the capital in the past few days, they have been behind closed doors. Thank you, I only treat people every day, and I have declined all invitations. I wonder how my cousin got to know him so well that he was willing to sell you such a valuable thing?"

Huo Changqing was at a loss for words. At this time, Huo Changbai interrupted: "My brother has friends from all over the world. How can you, a housewife, know the story?"

Huo Changbai had obviously healed his scar and forgot about the pain. He dared to say such things to Huo Jiuge. Did he completely forget that he was grounded and contracted the epidemic?

"What Changbai said is that we men naturally have a set of standards and rules that belong to us. Sister Jiuge, as a woman, it is normal for you not to know."

Huo Changqing's words were high-sounding, which showed his gentlemanly demeanor, but how come Huo Jiuge didn't know when he had met him, dared to use his own name to deceive outside, and now he was dancing to the Now that he's in front of him, he's simply looking for death!

Huo Jiuge said with a smile: "My cousin has misunderstood me. It's not that Jiuge doesn't believe in your ability, brother. It's just that the world is dangerous now. Some swindlers use other people's names to deceive. Some of them can't tell the difference. It's common to be deceived." Something."

Just when the two were arguing about this issue, someone stood up and said: "It is said that Polygonum multiflorum has been a rare treasure for more than a hundred years. It has even begun to change into a human form for more than a thousand years. Today, since it has been stained with Admiral Huo Why don’t we just take a look at its true appearance.”

His suggestions were echoed by others. Huo Changqing's expression had changed a little, but it happened that at this time, Mr. Huo opened the box containing Polygonum multiflorum.

What caught people's eyes was a Polygonum multiflorum that had begun to take on a human shape. It was black overall and looked a bit like a ginseng. It was indeed a top-quality treasure. Mr. Huo accepted the envious glances from people and put the things away. Put it on.

But when he was loading the box, his hand accidentally touched the thing and it was immediately stained with something. The sharp-eyed butler also noticed this. At this time, he immediately packed the things for the old man and pretended that nothing happened. Seeing this, he continued to stand behind Mr. Huo holding his things.

Mr. Huo also immediately hid his hands in his sleeves. He squeezed out a forced smile and said to Huo Changqing: "You are about to enter the Imperial Academy. You must be more diligent and cautious in the future."

As he spoke, he handed the prepared red envelope into his hand, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Others can't notice it, but Huo Changqing feels it clearly.

He accepted the red envelope sheepishly and replied respectfully: "Yes."
