Chapter 89 Direct Provocation
The next day, Huo Jiuge took Dongmei to the Huo family's warehouse with the key, and happened to meet Mrs. Qin taking care of things there with a group of people.

Seeing Huo Jiuge coming, Mrs. Qin clearly saw it but pretended to turn her back. She directed her servants and said: "It's a rare day for the weather to be nice today. Please pay attention carefully. These calligraphy and paintings are very precious."

Things like calligraphy, painting, silk, and satin are prone to moisture and dust accumulation when stored in the warehouse, so they must be taken out to bask in the sun regularly. Qin usually hires someone to do this kind of work, and then oversees it himself.

This time was no exception. However, besides keeping an eye on her servants to prevent them from being careless, she also had a more important plan.

As Huo Qingwu and Qin Junnan's marriage approached, the burden on her gradually became heavier. None of her own children were married, but now she was busy working for other people's children, and she even had to pay for it herself. So she set her sights on the warehouse of Duke Rongguo.

Huo Jiuge is wearing a fiery red pomegranate skirt, which is no less beautiful in the spring scenery of the garden. Compared with Shu Ya's previous dress, she looks more heroic today. The coral pendant earrings of the same color in her ears are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.

Seeing Mrs. Qin deliberately ignoring her, Huo Jiuge sneered, because the two of them had already been at odds with each other before, and she was too lazy to pretend anymore.

Huo Jiuge walked to the door of the warehouse. Before she could make any move, the nanny beside Qin said: "This is the center of the warehouse. No one can enter without instructions. If Miss Fifth wants to take a walk, please come." Go somewhere else to avoid bumping into each other, but we can’t afford it.”

Huo Jiuge looked at the calligraphy, paintings and silks and satins spread outside, smiled, and then asked, "I wonder what the instructions from grandma are?"

"Of course it is." As soon as Mammy was about to speak, she was stopped by Qin's look. She didn't want to see Huo Jiuge, let alone talk to her. She asked the people around her to ignore her.

If she wants to watch it, let her watch it. Anyway, she can't see anything interesting in the movie.

Seeing that her grandma was silent, she was not annoyed and asked Dongmei to give her the key.

Huo Jiuge took the key and shook it in his hand. The copper key jingled and immediately attracted people's attention.

Grandma looked at the key in her hand and was shocked. How could the key to the warehouse be in her hand?

Mrs. Qin also noticed the key in her hand. Before she could speak, Huo Jiuge put the key away, and then said to their shocked faces: "I followed grandpa's orders." , I came here specifically to learn from my aunt how to run a family."

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Qin squinted her eyes, her eyes dark and unclear. A few days ago, Mr. Huo found her and said to her: "After Qingwu gets married, only Jiuge will be left in our house." And these two ladies, Qingshang."

Qin didn't understand why he suddenly found her and even said some nonsense, but she still replied respectfully: "Yes." Then she said: "Such a thing happened to Qingwu. As her legitimate mother, I cannot absolve myself of the blame." She choked up as she spoke. Seeing this, the maid on the side quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, telling her that she had been having trouble sleeping and eating since the accident, and comforted her. Her, let her relax.
At this time, Mr. Huo also sighed heavily and said: "All this is the fate of that girl Qingwu. Wan Fang, you have done a good enough job as my aunt. Don't be depressed because of this. You must take care of yourself." body."

Listening to Mr. Huo's tone, he didn't seem to blame all the fault of this incident on himself. When Qin was about to let go of the stone in her heart, she heard him say again: "Qing Wu's matter can no longer be changed. Now, there are still two legitimate ladies in the house, so they should be well educated."

"Qing Shang has been raised by your side since he was a child. He is well-educated and generous. However, this girl Jiuge's parents died young and she has been raised in Jinling for so long, so her enlightenment is a bit late."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin immediately took over and said, "Although Jiu Ge is not young now, she is smarter. Father, don't worry too much. Even if she can't compare with other ladies from aristocratic families, as long as she is willing to work hard, she will be able to master some skills in time." . As the saying goes, it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. She is a young lady from the Rongguo Duke’s family. Even if she marries into another family with no skills, she will not be treated harshly."

As she spoke, she suggested finding some masters who specialized in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and let her learn from them.

Mr. Huo shook his head and said, "It's useless to learn those things that are long-sleeved and good at dancing. How good can you show others with sex? Since you are a young lady from the Duke of Rongguo's family, you naturally have to learn something different."

After Ms. Qin heard what he said, the expression on her face immediately became unnatural. She pretended to be calm and asked, "What does father mean for Jiuge to learn?"

Mr. Huo didn't realize that something was wrong with the other party. He said to himself: "Naturally, Jiu Ge will be a eldest lady when she gets married. If she doesn't understand some of the ways of running a family, it will probably be difficult for her to convince the public. The whole thing The Huo family is in good order under your care, Wan Fang. I'm thinking of letting her learn the skills of running the house with you, so that she won't marry into someone else's family and become an illiterate mistress."

His words contained ardent expectations for Huo Jiuge, but he didn't mention a word about Huo Qingshang. I don't know if it was really out of recognition of his daughter's talent, or if he had ignored her.

Mrs. Qin forced a smile from the corner of her mouth, her muscles had even stiffened, and she didn't notice it: "After all, it was my father who was thoughtful, and I was the one who failed to consider it."

Mr. Huo said: "Jiuge is a child with a withdrawn personality. He doesn't like to be close to others like other children in the house. Please Wanfang, please pay more attention to her."

"Please rest assured, father, I will treat Jiuge as if he were my own. But now that Qingwu's marriage is approaching, I am too busy to teach her. I may not be able to teach her for the time being. After this period of time passes, I will teach her in person. ." Mrs. Qin said this just to delay time. She wished that Huo Jiuge disappeared from her eyes, so how could she really teach her?
Mr. Huo nodded and said, "That's good. Then I'll ask Jiuge to come find you after a while."

After he finished speaking, he left, and Mrs. Qin stared at his leaving figure, her eyes as cold as a cold front.

Qin didn't expect that Mr. Huo's request to teach Huo Jiuge how to run a family was not a joke. He even handed her the key to the warehouse. You must know that it took her two years to get this symbol. The key to power, and Huo Jiuge only spent a few months.

How does this make her not hate?
