Chapter 88 Accounting Key
Huo Jiuge's eyes were clear in black and white, but what she didn't know was that the reason why Pei Jingxing came to the Rongguo Duke's mansion this time was all because of her.

She fainted in Juxing Tower before, and it was Pei Jingxing who sent her back. In order to thank him, Mr. Huo prepared a generous gift to thank him. Mr. Huo did not attend this birthday because he was not in the capital.

This time, he specially brought a gift to Mr. Huo to celebrate his birthday. The two had just chatted for a few words when she appeared.

Mr. Huo looked at the embarrassed Huo Jiuge and hesitated several times. He knew very little about this granddaughter, but he felt that she was very different from before.

In the past, Huo Jiuge was timid and cowardly, not at all like a general's daughter. Instead, she acted submissively and made a lot of jokes. Now she is both wise and courageous, but it's a bit too much.

If you dare to climb over the wall today, you may cause trouble tomorrow. With Huo Qingwu's experience, Mr. Huo will not allow such a thing to happen.

After Huo Jiuge got the medicine, Mr. Huo removed all the maids and servants, leaving them alone.

He put a mahogany carved box on the table and opened it. Huo Jiuge took a look and found a key inside. If she guessed correctly, this should be the key to the warehouse.

Now only Mr. Qin and Mr. Huo have this key. Huo Jiuge glanced at the person in front of him and didn't understand what he meant.

Unlike the other children of the Huo family, she was raised by Mr. Huo. Even now that she has returned to the Rongguo Palace, she still feels alienated from the Huo family.

Obviously she is only 14 years old, but sometimes her behavior is far beyond her age. But today when I saw her climbing over the fence from the outside, I felt that she was still the innocent and romantic Huo Jiuge.

Even though Mr. Huo has read countless people and has developed a pair of piercing eyes, he still cannot read what the person in front of him is thinking.

Mr. Huo closed the box and pushed it to Huo Jiuge and said, "Now that I am old, this thing has become a decoration for me. Why don't I give it to you, and you can stay with your aunt in the following days?" Learn to take care of the affairs of the house."

In the past few years, his health has not been as good as before. Now he has reached the stage where he can't live without soup and medicine. There are some things that must be planned early.

Huo Jiuge also noticed the old man's face about this matter. Even when he was sitting here talking to her, the other party's breathing was a little rapid, and it was obvious that there was something wrong with his body.

She asked tentatively: "Grandpa, has he not been sleeping well these past few nights?"

Hearing what he said, Mr. Huo sighed heavily and said, "I have been dreaming about your father these days. I dreamed that he was kneeling in front of me in iron armor and crying, saying that he was a courtier and a father."

When he said this, Mr. Huo's eyes became obviously moist. He and Huo Xin had a weak relationship as father and son. When he was young, he was busy making achievements, but when he got old, he had white hair and black hair.

Listening to his son's cries in the dream, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. When he woke up, his pillow was mostly wet.

On a bright moonlit night, the short pine hills are covered with dust, and the temples are like frost.

Thinking of his two children, one inherited his father's ambition and went to the distant border, while the other was sent to Jinling at a young age because he listened to the Taoist priests' slander.

Perhaps out of guilt, Mr. Huo did not criticize Huo Jiuge too harshly. He just said that if she wanted to go out to play in the future, he would bring more maids and servants to protect her safety.Huo Jiuge was alert to Mr. Huo's abnormality. She took the key handed over and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, Jiuge will definitely learn from my aunt and won't cause you any trouble!"

Mr. Huo nodded and said, "Seeing that you are so sensible, I can give an account when I see Zi Heng under Jiuquan one day."

Zi Heng is the name of Huo Jiuge's father, Huo Xin. Usually only people close to him would call him that. But now that Mr. Huo said this, it seems that something is really wrong with his body.

Huo Jiuge remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he had decided to investigate first.

Realizing that he might have made a mistake, Mr. Huo quickly brought the topic back. He remembered something, "In a few days, Duke Wen's eldest grandson will be one year old. He sent someone to deliver an invitation. Then you can accompany me. "

Normally, the invitation to banquets would be attended by the Qin family on behalf of Duke Rong's mansion, but this time it was different. Duke Wen and Mr. Huo had had a relationship for decades, and this invitation was handed over to him personally.

The two are about the same age, but Mr. Huo's children and grandchildren have already filled the court. Huo Chengqi, as the eldest grandson, has long been enshrined as a wolf; even Huo Changqing has passed the Jinshi this year, and will be able to ascend to the court and show off his talents in the future. And I heard that the eldest grandson of Duke Wen was just one year old and was still a baby in his arms.

But he can't be blamed for this. If he is, he can only blame his son for marrying a princess before. The couple had not given birth to a boy and a girl for many years. They finally gave birth to a girl. Within a few years, the princess disappeared. Jade died.

After observing the mourning period for three years, Prince Wen married the daughter of a minister. Naturally, time was wasted by this going back and forth.

For example, after celebrating his sixtieth birthday this year and finally expecting his eldest grandson, Duke Wen was so happy that he sent the invitation early.

Usually on occasions like this, Mr. Huo is usually accompanied by men like Huo Changqing, but this time he brought Huo Jiuge, which is enough to see that his focus has now shifted.

When Huo Jiuge heard what he said about Duke Wen, he felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but for a while he couldn't figure out who it was.

She returned to her yard with the key her grandfather gave her and her doubts.

Over there, Qiu Chan and Dong Mei saw that she hadn't come back so late, so they thought something had happened to her on the way and were looking at her anxiously at the door.

When they saw a familiar figure appear in front of them, the stone in their hearts completely fell.

As soon as they entered the house, Huo Jiuge gave them the gifts he had brought from outside. Afterwards, he told Qiu Chan to check on the doctor responsible for diagnosing Mr. Huo.

"Young lady is so good, why do you want your elder sister to keep an eye on the doctor next to the master? Could it be..." Dongmei just asked, when she suddenly realized something was wrong. She quickly stopped talking, her round eyes rolled around, and she stood next to Huo Jiuge. Over time, her temperament gradually became more mellow.

Qiu Chan is smarter than her. As long as Huo Jiuge tells her to do something, she won't ask why, she just does it.

The people in the second room are ambitious and eyeing the Rongguo Palace. After suffering several losses at the hands of their own lady, they are now focused on Mr. Huo.
