Chapter 18
Huo Nineteen leaned lazily on the back of the chair, propped his chest with one hand, no joy or anger could be seen on his fair face, and looked at Jiang Wu with a noble look, "Just salute like this? Didn't Nanny Sun teach you the rules? Where did you study?"

His voice was low, gentle and soft, without any trace of anger.However, it is this indistinguishable emotion coupled with his inadvertent aura that makes people chill.

Grandma Sun was most afraid of Huo Shijiu, she plopped down on her knees, "Your Excellency, calm down, this servant taught me! It's just..." I wanted to blame Jiang Wu for all the mistakes, but I was afraid that she was Huo Shijiu's heart. The person who offended him, swallowed the words later.

Cao Yu also lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Jiang Wu seemed unable to feel the oppression he exerted, and could not see the sharpness in his eyes, so she said slowly in a soft and crisp voice: "If my lord likes to see that, there should already be thirteen people in the mansion. Why should I have one more?"

"Really? Miss San, don't forget why you are standing here today." Gently reminded her why she came here.

Hearing this, Jiang Wu stared at Huo Jiujiu for a moment, then suddenly smiled, shining brightly: "Isn't it because adults like it?"

Fist on cotton, intimidation is useless.

The neither soft nor hard tone, the disrespectful but also playful answer, it is this feeling of being about to fall below the bottom line but not falling below it, which makes people feel depressed and panic, wanting to punish her but not being able to catch her mistakes...

It's tough.

Huo Jiujiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her carefully for the first time.She was indeed beautiful, but he had seen many beautiful women, but he had never seen her like this.She has a pair of special eyes, which might not be inappropriate for a general who is on the battlefield, but for a little girl like her... Well, I don't think it is inappropriate.Picturesque plums have a strong character with strong branches, otherwise, they are nothing more than ordinary reds.

"Jiang Shitou gave birth to a good daughter. If you are a man, I will take you under my command. After a few years of conditioning, you will be a good son."

Is it ironic that she doesn't have the ladylike temperament of today's women?
If Jiang Wu hadn't heard of it, she said with a big smile, "Thank you for your appreciation, my lord."

Huo Jiujiu asked leisurely, "What do you do on weekdays?"

"What do adults mean?"

"Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs."

"My lord, don't you know that a woman's lack of talent is virtue?"

"In this way, you are more 'virtuous' than Miss Jiang?" Huo Nineteen sneered.

Jiang Wu didn't take it seriously and said: "Thanks to the praise from the adults, my virtue has already moved the adults."

Huo Jiujiu was speechless. "Forget it, since these are not good, the female celebrity in the gift must be good?"

"Your Majesty's house is short of a cook and a sewing daughter-in-law?"

"It seems that Miss San really doesn't have many hobbies."

Jiang Wu smiled and said: "My lord's words are wrong, I also have things I like to do for entertainment, such as cracking melon seeds."

Huo Nineteen was silent.Both Cao Yu and Nanny Sun opened their eyes wide.

The eyes of the former were flickering, showing no joy or anger, while the latter two lowered their heads and endured the hard work with a smile.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me at all."

Jiang Wu wondered: "Does your lord like to make people fear you?"

Huo Shijiu suddenly felt that it was useless to argue with her. He got up, walked towards the door leisurely, and said lazily: "Forget it, you should learn the rules. If you are slow to learn, your father will have more scars."

When the voice fell, Cao Yu and Cao Yu had already walked into the courtyard.

Jiang Wu looked at his back, and it took a long time before she turned around and told Nanny Sun: "Go on."

"Yes!" Nanny Sun continued the topic just now.

And Huo Shijiu smiled as soon as he left the courtyard.

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment, his nervous mood finally relaxed, and he joked softly: "Does your lord really enjoy the feeling of wanting to beat someone but being unable to beat him?"

"Are you talking about her or about me?"

"How dare I say that, my lord."

Huo Jiujiu smiled and said, "Didn't you also misjudge Sun Nanny's ability?"

Cao Yu's face turned red.It turned out that the adults already knew that he deliberately chose a domineering and difficult nanny to teach Jiang Wu the rules.

Just at this time, the two saw a girl's figure disappearing around the corner at the same time.

Huo Shijiu said: "That seems to be in Miao's house?"

"Yes, Aunt Miao should have met the third girl just now. Maybe she was wronged a little bit. Do you want to go and see?"

Huo Shijiu walked to the study and said lightly: "If that's the case, it's a grievance, and there will be more grievances in the future."

Cao Yu remained silent, following Huo Shijiu's pace.

After Jiang Wu learned about some things in the mansion, she started to learn as Sun Nanny said.In her previous life, she had received etiquette training for entering and exiting some occasions, and because of her training as a secret agent, she had mastered some shorthand knacks, and she almost never forgot them.So those cumbersome etiquettes and house chores are memorized by Nanny Sun after she has said them once.

However, if you want to make things difficult for her to do repeatedly, Jiang Wu is absolutely unwilling.

That's why Nanny Sun was happy for a while, thinking that she could finally handle her, but in the end she was in vain.

Lunch is four dishes and one soup.These days, because of my father's affairs, not only money is tight at home, but even Yinjie's work on the stove is not in the mood. Jiang Wu is a food lover, and she thinks it is Huo Ying's. Very full.

Originally, he couldn't fall asleep during his afternoon nap, so he wandered around in the green bamboo garden to enjoy the cool air.

At such a leisurely time, Cailian in the back house also went back to Aunt Miao's words.

"...Your Excellency went to see Miss Jiang San, and talked about tea time. When you left, Your Excellency seemed to be in a very good mood."

Aunt Miao was at a table playing cards with Aunt Zheng, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang at this moment, and when she heard the words, she lost all intention of playing and sighed.

Aunt Zheng simply pushed the card away, and said angrily: "Then what's so good about Jiang Sanniang? I heard that she is a downright rude woman. I'm afraid the servants in your house and mine are better than her. I haven't been here yet. , just so charming...Your Excellency is also right, regardless of our sisters, you should also take care of Sister Miao, right?"

Aunt Zheng's third uncle is the adopted son of Huo Shijiu. Although she is a concubine, she has a beautiful appearance, and her family attaches great importance to her. The Huo family never lacks their expenses, and the Zheng family often hand over some silver money.Aunt Zheng spent a lot of money, and she gained some prestige in the concubine's house after coming and going, and she was a little bolder in her words.

Aunt Miao shook her head and remained silent.

Aunt Zhou was born as a dancer, and Aunt Wang's distant cousin was Huo Shijiu's adopted son. The two were not as good as Aunt Zheng, and were not as good as Aunt Miao, so of course they agreed.

The originally lively poker table turned into Jiang Wu's criticism meeting.

But how could Jiang Wu care what people say about her?She complied with the request for several days in a row.Chenzheng came, and Youchu returned to the mansion.She enjoyed the days of "relaxing" when she came out, but Nanny Sun suffered.

Originally wanted to teach Jiang Wu, but was caught by Jiang Wu's side every day to set the rules, and the fat on the stomach was boiled off.

Seeing that the weather was getting hot, and when Jiang Wu was eating melon seeds in the cool air under the eaves of the porch, Nanny Sun slipped out on the pretext of going to the Gong bucket, and went straight to Huo Shijiu's study.
