Chapter 92
Huo Jiuge looked pleasant. Wen Guogong looked at her as if he was admiring his granddaughter. After asking a few questions about her, he suddenly changed his mind and said, "Jiuge is now in his prime years. I wonder if there is anything he likes." Man? If so, you might as well say it and let your grandpa and I take care of it for you!"

Unexpectedly, Huo Jiuge looked at his grandfather and found that he was also looking forward to her answer at this time. It seemed that the two of them had already made a plan.

In ancient times, women's marriage matters were always in the hands of their parents, especially women from a wealthy family like theirs, who were almost born to maintain the interests of the family.

Thinking of this, Huo Jiuge couldn't help but frown. She quickly lowered her head, with a shy blush on her cheeks, and said: "The sisters in the house are not married yet, and the brother has not married a sister-in-law. How can we turn around?" It’s time for Jiuge”

She looked exactly like a girl, and she had an answer in everyone's eyes. It seemed that there was probably no answer.

After hearing this, Duke Wen touched his beard. At this time, Mr. Huo said, "Jiu Ge, you go to my house for a walk. You don't need to stay here with me."

"But Grandpa." Just when Huo Jiuge was about to say that he was not familiar with the road, Duke Wen asked someone to call for a young and handsome man. He walked in from the outside with a handsome appearance, and then he held his hands and said, "Grandpa, Huo Greetings, Admiral."

He is the grandson of Duke Wen, and his father is the governor of Yongzhou. However, since his mother's death, Duke Wen has kept him by his side. Now the deputy envoy of Yu Linwei, although his official rank is not high, he is a young man with excellent talents and appearance.

Mr. Huo nodded slightly, looking very satisfied.

"This is the young lady from Duke Rongguo's family." Wen Guogong introduced Huo Jiuge to him, "This is the first time she has come to our house. Admiral Huo and I still have something to discuss. You can take Miss Huo to visit our house first. .”

Han Zan raised his head and glanced at Huo Jiuge, then lowered his head again. He grew up in a military camp and didn't understand anything about men and women, but recently his grandfather often mentioned the young lady from the Rongguo Duke's family in his ears. It is clear.

Although he was reluctant, it was hard to refuse.

Huo Jiuge also looked at the man in front of her. He was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall and straight figure, and determination in his eyebrows. The saber on his waist caught her attention.

The first time the two met was under the instigation of both parties' families. Han Zan was upright and walked in front of him, and Huo Jiuge followed him at a leisurely pace.

The Wen family's garden, pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions and eaves are all in the Jiangnan style. The scenery changes as you move, and it is particularly beautiful.

The two of them walked alone, without saying a word.

After Han Zan reacted, Huo Jiuge was stopping in front of a magnolia tree. I don't know why in the same season, the magnolia in Hexiang Courtyard had begun to wither, but the magnolia in Wen Guogong's Mansion was blooming. In full swing.

Just as she was thinking this, a group of people walked towards her.

"The feng shui in Duke Wen's mansion is good. Look how beautiful these flowers are blooming."

The noisy sound caught Huo Jiuge's attention. When she turned around, she saw a group of people behind her, led by Pei Jingxing, who had met her several times before.

His temperament is particularly outstanding among a group of elderly people, who should all be officials serving in the court. This time, the first birthday ceremony for Wen Guogong's grandson was held in a big way, covering almost all the prominent people in the capital.

Huo Jiuge didn't feel surprised to see him here. Huo Jiuge turned towards him and blessed himself.

Pei Jingxing also nodded slightly towards her.

But everyone had a look of astonishment in their eyes. Fortunately, Han Zan came over at this time and avoided their suspicion. "Han Zan has met all my lords!" He bowed his hands and saluted.

Everyone knows Han Zan, but some people don't know Huo Jiuge's identity.

After they walked away, someone started muttering: "Who is that woman? There seems to be no such person in the capital?"

"The young lady from Duke Rongguo's palace has just returned to Beijing recently. Last time she won the first prize at the Qujiang Banquet!" Someone immediately added to him.

"Is it the Miss Huo who accompanied her mother to the temple to pray for blessings and then met with an unexpected incident? Didn't she say she was frightened to death? Why did Deputy Han come together?"

"Does she look stupid to you?"

"It's not like that, but he looks like a smart man!"

Listening to everyone's discussion about Huo Jiuge, although Pei Jingxing did not express any opinions, his eyes were as dark as night.

Han Zan took Huo Jiuge to a pavilion and asked her to sit here and rest.

Huo Jiuge, however, focused on the saber on his waist. As a Yulin Guard, he naturally never left his body with the saber, but the style of the saber caught Huo Jiuge's attention.

The mysterious man she saw in front of him that day also had a horizontal knife on his waist. Although the lengths of the two knives were different, the workmanship and style were very similar.

She asked tentatively: "Where did Young Master Han get his sword? It looks so exquisite. There is an older brother above Jiu Ge, and he also wants to get a sword like this for him."

Han Zan touched the saber on his waist, and then replied: "This is made by the Military Armory and distributed to each of us. I did not find someone to make it specially from outside."

"Oh." Huo Jiuge lowered his head in disappointment.

"General Huo is a hussar general, and the sword he carries is naturally the best in the world. I'm afraid there is no other weapon that can compete with it." Han Zan comforted her.

"According to Young Master, are the most perfect weapons in the world specially made by the royal family?" Huo Jiuge followed his words and asked.

Han Zan nodded: "Now the imperial court controls the salt and iron monopoly. No matter how good the craftsmanship of the private masters is, they cannot obtain a large amount of iron to make weapons. At least this was the case in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. As for other places, I don't know. ”

The Northern Zhou Dynasty had a vast territory and rich products, and was mostly famous for its iron ore. If some small countries or tribes in the surrounding area wanted to obtain iron ore, they had to sign treaties with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they would have to provide other rare and precious treasures every year. iron ore.

Iron is an important material for forging weapons, so its export is strictly controlled.

However, his words served as a reminder to Huo Jiuge. Since only the Royal Ordnance Bureau could make sabers with this kind of craftsmanship, it meant that the murderer must be hiding in the capital.

The two of them were sitting in the pavilion when they suddenly heard a "plop". It seemed that something fell into the water. The alert Han Zan immediately stood up. The sound came from behind the rockery. He immediately stepped forward. Go check out the situation.
