Chapter 31

Yuan Jian, Yuan Bohan's secret guard, was surprised when he heard Yuan Bohan's words. He didn't expect that the master valued a woman so much, and was about to respond when he heard the vowels beside him.

"Master, is it better to send someone to monitor Miss Huo's family, and choose another person from the secret door? It seems a bit inconvenient for this man to monitor."

Yuan Bohan pondered for a while when he heard the words of the vowel. It was indeed not convenient for a man to watch over that girl, so he nodded slightly and said, "Choose a suitable person as soon as possible!"

Yuan Jian nodded upon hearing Yuan Bohan's words, and said respectfully: "This subordinate knows!"

Huo Zhirou didn't know that there were many dangers around her. At this time, she was asking the maids to give her medicine.

When Chunxiao saw Huo Zhirou with red and swollen shoulders, her face turned pale with fright, and after asking what was going on, her tears stopped and she choked up and said, "Miss, I should accompany you to burn incense today." !"

"Okay, don't cry!" Huo Zhirou said helplessly while enduring the pain from the medicine on her shoulders. She was in an extremely bad mood at this time. She didn't know why Si Haoran came to Jincheng. Things are a little different from the previous life.

When Chun Xiao heard Huo Zhirou's words, she held back her tears, looked at her shoulder and said, "Miss, do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look?"

"No need!" Huo Zhirou refused without hesitation, a joke, the doctor is a man, this little injury is called a doctor, I thought something big happened to her!
"Chun Xiao, I'm tired!" Huo Zhirou didn't want to think about Si Haoran any more, anyway, she won't be as stupid as she was in her previous life in this life.

When Chunxiao heard Huo Zhirou's words, she immediately applied medicine and changed clothes for Huo Zhirou, and waited for her to sit on the bed for a while.

It was already evening when Huo Zhirou woke up, she rubbed her somewhat confused eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Chun Xiao, what time is it?"

"Miss Hui, it's already a quarter of the clock, dinner is already ready!" Chun Xiao replied respectfully.

Huo Zhirou heard Chun Xiao's words, propped up her lazy body, and went to sleep again, so she wouldn't have to sleep tonight.

Huo Zhirou had just finished dinner, and a servant girl walked up to Huo Zhirou's side cautiously, and said softly in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Miss, Lingju wants to see you and said there is something important I want to tell you!"

Huo Zhirou frowned slightly, Lingju wanted to see her, could it be because Jiang Guqiu wanted to do something again?
She nodded slightly, and said to the maid beside her, "Take her to the place where we met last time!"

"Yes!" The servant girl retreated respectfully after hearing Huo Zhirou's words.

After tidying up, Huo Zhirou took Chun Xiao slowly towards the courtyard where he met Ling Ju last time.

"Miss!" Lingju, who had been waiting for a long time, was anxious about whether she would be suspected by Jiang Guqiu if she went back later, and was thinking about whether she should leave. When she saw Huo Zhirou coming, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Huo Zhirou. Soft salute.

Seeing Ling Ju's expression, Huo Zhirou smiled and asked, "Why, do you think I'm late?"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Ling Ju laughed dryly and said, "How dare you slave!"

"Come on, what's the matter?" Huo Zhirou didn't want to talk nonsense with Lingju and asked directly.

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Ling Ju didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Miss, you are going out today, and the second miss has already told Aunt Jiang about what happened, saying that she is going to have a banquet for the son who saved the eldest lady. Come out, this second lady has a crush on that young master!"

When Huo Zhirou heard Lingju's words, her face darkened instantly, and the gloomy expression made Chunxiao, who was serving at the side, and Lingju, who was standing in front, both uneasy.

At this time, Huo Zhirou was very angry. She didn't want to have anything to do with Si Haoran, but she didn't expect that someone would go against her wishes!

Huo Zhirou looked at Lingju in front of her with sharp eyes, and Lingju was so frightened that she said in fear, "Eldest... Miss..."

"You mean Second Miss? Is there a Second Miss in the house? Why don't I know!" Huo Zhirou asked coldly, at this moment she vented all her anger on Lingju.

When Ling Ju heard Huo Zhirou's questioning, her face paled instantly. How could she have forgotten that the young lady in front of her didn't even admit that Luo Huilan and Luo Kaifeng were her younger siblings? He jumped out, knelt down on the ground, and quickly admitted his mistake: "It's the servant who said something wrong, please forgive me, miss!"

"Huh!" Huo Zhirou snorted coldly and said, "Did that woman tell my father?"

"No, the master didn't go to Jiang Guqiu's place these days, which made Jiang Guqiu very dissatisfied, and he is inquiring about the whereabouts of the master!" Ling Ju hurriedly replied.

When Huo Zhirou heard Ling Ju's words, she smiled coldly. Jiang Guqiu was pregnant, did she think she was qualified to serve others?The Huo family doesn't have any other concubines. It is estimated that her bastard father has gone to other places to fool around!
"Go back and tell me if you have any news!" Huo Zhirou said in a faint voice.

Lingju heard that Huo Zhirou didn't question her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly replied: "Yes, miss!"

After Lingju left, Huo Zhirou looked sideways at Chunxiao, "Go and call Uncle Cao!"

Butler Cao has already recovered a lot after a few days of self-cultivation. When he heard the news that Huo Zhirou had an accident on the way to Fayuan Temple, he rushed to greet him but was sent away by Huo Zhirou. Now he heard Huo Zhirou call him Come here, immediately put down what you are doing and come here in a hurry.

"Miss!" Steward Cao respectfully greeted her.

Huo Zhirou nodded, motioned Steward Cao to sit aside, and asked, "How are the servants brought by Jiang Guqiu going?"

When Steward Cao heard Huo Zhirou's question, his eyes flashed coldly. Thinking of Jiang Guqiu being beaten by those servants when Jiang Guqiu entered the door, he had already held back his anger. He kept letting them clean up, and when he heard Huo Zhirou's question, he said respectfully: "Miss Hui, don't worry, these little fellows will definitely let them live in peace!"

Huo Zhirou was very satisfied when he heard Steward Cao's words, and changed the subject: "Has my father done anything recently? Has he not returned home these days?"

When Housekeeper Cao heard Huo Zhirou's question, he frowned and said, "I heard today that the master really rarely returns home these days, and one day he even sent someone back to ask for money..."

At this point, Butler Cao looked at Huo Zhirou hesitantly.

Seeing Steward Cao's actions, Huo Zhirou raised his eyebrows, "Where are you going to send it?"

Butler Cao coughed softly, and said, "Send it to Zuixianglou..."

"Zixianglou!" Huo Zhirou gritted her teeth when she heard Steward Cao's words, her face was extremely pale. Of course she knew where this place was, wasn't it the most famous Goulan Courtyard in Jincheng?
She mocked and said with a smile: "It seems that Dad's life is really good. Even if Jiang Guqiu has a body, he still has a lot of women to serve him. It's really wronged him when his mother was sick, he pretended to be a good husband!"

Steward Cao's expression was particularly ugly when he heard Huo Zhirou's ridicule.

"Tell Lingju about this, and let her find a chance to tell Jiang Guqiu about Dad's going to the Zuixiang Building, and see how she reacts?" The corners of Huo Zhirou's lips curled into an arc, and the smile didn't reach his eyes She didn't believe that Jiang Guqiu could bear it. In her last life, she didn't allow Luo Xing to be a concubine. She really regarded herself as Luo Xing's true love!
"I got it, little one!" Butler Cao nodded when he heard Huo Zhirou's order.

"Also, I'm going to the workshop tomorrow to see how Jin Jin is doing? I'm still worried." Huo Zhirou sighed softly.

When Steward Cao heard that Huo Zhirou was going out, he frowned deeply. Thinking of what happened today, he said: "Miss, let the little one go, the horse was frightened today, if it happens again, the little one can't escape it." blame!"

Huo Zhirou shook his head, "It's okay, today was just an accident, I have to go and see it myself to be relieved, it's good for you to stay at the house, I'm always worried about the affairs of the house."

After hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Steward Cao nodded helplessly, "Okay then!"

The next day, Huo Zhirou wore a gauze hat and took Chunxiao with him to go out. In order to prevent accidents, Steward Cao sent more servants this time than usual. Huo Zhirou shook his head amusedly, but he didn't object.

The Jinjin workshop of the Huo family is located behind the Jinjin store. When Huo Zhirou came, Manager Li said to Huo Zhiju with a smile on his face: "Miss, you are here!"

Huo Zhirou looked at the smile on Li Guanshi's face, and his heavy heart relaxed a lot along the way, "How is Jin Jin preparing?"

Hearing Huo Zhirou's words, Guanshi Li said with a smile: "Be careful, don't worry, the brocade made by Master Situ is amazing, I believe this Yuanmen selection will not fail!" Li Guanshi said confidently.

"Oh, I have to see what Uncle Li said!" Huo Zhirou said with a smile, suddenly interested.

Uncle Li brought Huo Zhirou to the back workshop. At this time, the back workshop was in full swing. In a room, Situ Fan was instructing the embroiderers to weave Jin brocade in their hands, and the most important pattern was still Situ Fan had to finish it alone, who would have guessed that a big man like Situ Fan could have such a good embroidery skill?

In a corner of the room, there was a ready-made brocade hanging. Huo Zhirou walked towards the brocade and looked at it quietly.

I saw that the brocade surface of Jin brocade is composed of white and various red, yellow, blue, green and other colors of warp silk, and the color network gradually becomes thinner, and the main color white also gradually becomes thicker. , it seems that the colors are in sharp contrast, and the brocade is also decorated with various patterns, large or small, extremely colorful, just like the pattern in front of Huo Zhirou at this time is the lotus and white phoenix.

Although Huo Zhirou believed in Situ Ying's craftsmanship, she was still skeptical about the Situ Fan she recommended. Seeing the Jin Jin made by Situ Fan at this time, what she saw with her own eyes dispelled her doubts. This is what she had seen before. The most beautiful Jinjin, no wonder the head of the Yuanmen sect looked at him differently.

At this time, Situ Fan also found Huo Zhirou, stopped what he was doing, walked to her side, and said respectfully, "Miss Huo!"

Huo Zhirou turned around and proudly said to Situ Fan with a smile: "Mr. Situ, now I feel that asking you for help is the most correct decision I have made!"

When Situ Fan heard Huo Zhirou's words, he laughed cheerfully, "Miss Huo, you are laughing."

"Mr. Situ, it's getting closer and closer to the time for Yuanmen to hold the Jinjin Brocade Selection Conference. Are you ready?" Huo Zhirou put away the smile on his face and looked at Situ Fan seriously.

Situ Fan nodded seriously when he heard Huo Zhirou's words, and replied, "Miss Huo, don't worry, I will do my best!"

Huo Zhirou nodded upon hearing Situ Fan's answer, and said with a serious face, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

After less than an hour in the workshop, a servant of the Huo family came in a hurry, bowed to Huo Zhirou and said: "Miss, there are distinguished guests visiting the house, the master wants you to return home immediately!"
