The noble daughter of the splendid medical picture should be married

Chapter 312 Excuses
"Although it's already the beginning of autumn, it's still very hot outside. You've always been afraid of the heat. Let your servants do more things outside. It's getting hotter, so it's cooler to stay in the mansion." Huo Yi'an saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help arouse.

The people in his ancestral home were getting more and more excessive and greedy, and he was already tired of it.If it wasn't for the old man's sake, how could he allow these people to run rampant in the Duke Protector's mansion.

But these people still know to be afraid, so it's easy to handle.

Huo Yi'an would never think that Huo Qiqi's coming here at this time was really to show some face to the people from his ancestral home.If these people don't know good from bad, hehe, they probably won't end well.

Seven to one is enough to kill them all.

"There are ice cubes in the carriage. I just went to the warehouse outside the city to have a look. There are also ice cubes in the restaurant over there, so it's not too hot." Huo Qiqi explained with a smile.

The people from the ancestral home heard this, and they were secretly envious.After all, it is a big family, and in autumn, they still use ice.Unlike them, even when the sun is shining and the sun is scorching, there is no ice in sight.

All the people who came over made up their minds, no matter what, they had to get things done before they could go back.

"Qiqi, since you're here, take this opportunity to get acquainted. You won't get to know each other after you go out, and you won't be able to help you when you're in trouble." The old man cheerfully ordered.

"Yes, grandfather." Huo Qiqi agreed with a smile.

It's definitely inappropriate for the old man to arrange for Huo Qiqi to call someone.Huo Yi'an took the initiative to stand up and introduced everyone to Huo Qiqi.

Huo Qiqi really saved face and called people one by one.

She was not very old, most of the people who came from her ancestral home were elders, even if there were people of the same generation, they were much older than her.So calling down in a circle made her more respectful and polite.

Her politeness flattered everyone in her ancestral home.In the past when they came to the Duke Protector's Mansion, Huo Qiqi always looked at them sideways, and sometimes, he wouldn't give them any look at all.I didn't expect Huo Qiqi to be so polite to them this year, presumably Huo Qiqi won't be too hard on them when they ask for it later.

"Sit down, Qiqi is a child. You are elders, don't be polite to her juniors." Huo Qiqi's attitude also pleased the old man, who kept smiling all over his face.

"I haven't seen you for a year, and Qiqi has grown a head taller again." The fourth patriarch who sat on the same level as the old man laughed loudly.

"The children's family is the same every year. She eats less and doesn't grow too tall." The old man replied dissatisfied, "So thin that a gust of wind can blow her away."

"When I came last year, Qiqi's complexion was not very good. But this year, her face became rosy. Slowly recuperating, her body will get better." An old man next to the Fourth Patriarch was unwilling to be ignored, and interjected at the opportunity.

The fourth patriarch and the old man listened, and nodded with a smile, "That's the reason."

As the person involved, Huo Qiqi kept smiling and didn't speak, as if everyone was not evaluating her.

"Grandfather, haven't you paid the yearly silver this year?" After everyone stopped talking about her, Huo Qiqi interjected slowly.

When the people from the ancestral home heard this, embarrassing expressions appeared on their faces.

The Duke Protector's Mansion will never be short of their money, and will send money over every year in the first lunar month.Of course, this year's money has already been given, but they chose to come here at this time because they have something to ask for.

Although they haven't gotten to the point yet, it is clear that the Protector understands their intentions.Even Huo Yi'an who was on the side didn't say anything, Huo Qiqi asked out of nowhere, as if he put them directly under the sun to roast, most of the people from the ancestral home subconsciously fell on the fourth patriarch.

"Yes, I have already given the yearly silver." Jiang is still old and hot. Although the fourth patriarch was a little angry at Huo Qiqi's recklessness, he was not easy to get angry because he was in the Duke Huguo's mansion. He smiled and patiently explained a few words, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days, and some mountain products and dried fruits have been harvested in the village. The people in the village are saying good things about you, so we specially asked us to send the mountain products and dried fruits here so that you can try them out. .”

These words were beautiful, and the smile on Huo Qiqi's face became brighter, "It's not easy in the village. Everyone is living a difficult life, and they still miss us. They are all good people."

"Yes, Lord Protector sends so much silver to the village every year. Which family has not received the favor of Lord Protector's Mansion. These mountain products and dried fruits are not valuable things. They are all picked by the villagers from the mountains. If you don't dislike it, you have already given them great face." Huo Qiqi's words were beautiful, and the fourth patriarch felt very comfortable in his heart.

The other people in the village immediately let go of their suspended hearts.

In previous years, although Mr. Huo Qi would not fight them, he never gave them a good face.And everyone still didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction, they knew that Huo Qiqi was the rebel of Duke Huguo's mansion, and Duke Huguo even showed his face to the emperor because of her.As for the brothers of the Huo family, they doted on Huo Qiqi even more.

Just like these years, Huo Qiqi almost lost all the property of the Duke Protector's Mansion. Not only did the Huo family brothers not complain, they actually went around to prepare money for Huo Qiqi.

Those from the village who can come to the capital are carefully selected. When they come, the elders of the village have repeatedly told them not to offend Huo Qiqi after they arrive in the capital. Otherwise, Duke Huo He could really turn his back on Huo Qiqi and deny them.

No one expected that Huo Qiqi could sit down and talk to everyone in a soft voice. For the villagers, it was simply a surprise.

"There are so many of you sending mountain goods to Beijing, you must have sent a lot of goods?" Huo Qiqi asked with a smile.

The villagers' faces froze when they heard this. They brought mountain goods, but the quantity was not much.Although the life of every family in the village is a little richer than before, who dares to compare with Duke Protector's Mansion.The mountain goods are not worth much, but they can be sold for some silver, so when they came, everyone just gave some as a symbolic gift.

"Qiqi, the mountain goods sent by the village are not small, one cart." Huo Yi'an explained with a smile on the side.

"One car." Huo Qiqi said in a long voice, "it's not too small, but if the mansion invites a banquet, it's not enough for one banquet. This winter, when grandfather celebrates his birthday, there must be a big one. When the time comes I have to ask someone to buy some."

When the fourth patriarch heard this, his face turned red.He knew in his heart that Huo Qiqi was mocking them for being petty.

"They sent them from thousands of miles away, and the gift is light and affectionate. If Qiqi likes to eat, let the third child choose some for you." The old man said.

"No, no, in winter, we will definitely have to go again. This year, it is the birthday of Duke Huguo. When we go back, when the weather gets colder, we will ask the villagers to come and bring more game." The fourth patriarch hurriedly followed superior.
