Chapter 23
Jiang Wu shook her head, lowered her head, as if she was extremely shy.

Originally, it was embarrassing to tell her daughter's family face to face about this kind of thing.Seeing this, Huo Dashuan didn't want to talk too much, he just thought that he must go home to discuss with the child's mother, and he had to go to Jiang's house with an old face.

Looking at Huo Shijiu again, he felt even more displeased, "Treat me well! Let your father-in-law out quickly, and I'll peel your skin if you're late!" He snorted and left.

Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu went out to see each other off, and they sent people out of the gate. They were relieved when they saw more than a dozen peasants surrounded by pickaxes and left.

Walking all the way back to the mansion, the servants were silent like cicadas, for fear that such a shameful thing that happened just now would be taken care of by adults.

Huo Jiujiu walked towards the study with a blank expression, followed by Cao Yu.

Jiang Wu thought for a moment, then trotted behind the two of them with her skirts up, walked straight for more than half of the way, but still saw Huo Nineteen slowing down, panting and calling out again and again: "My lord."

Her voice was soft, filled with anxiety and begging.

Huo Shijiu's originally depressed mood improved because of his quick walk, but his heart softened after hearing her soft calling, he stopped and turned around: "What's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, looking back for a moment, it happened that her veil was loose and fluttering down, revealing her cheeks that were red from running.The originally beautiful face without makeup is now stained with rosy clouds, the almond eyes are bright, the red lips are slightly parted, the chest rises and falls due to rapid breathing, full of the unique purity and inadvertent charm of girls.

"Yeah." Jiang Wu exclaimed, catching the veil in a hurry, and when she looked up at him again, her face was embarrassed, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak, as beautiful as a peach or plum.

Regardless of her temperament, her life is pleasing to the eye.

She was just a 16-year-old girl after all.

Huo Jiujiu was in a better mood again: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Wu pursed her lips, and explained stubbornly and awkwardly: "It was just an expedient policy. Your lord is magnanimous, and you don't have the same knowledge as a little girl. If it wasn't like that, what can the old man do if he really wants to kill you?"

It turned out that you were worried that he would get angry, so you came here to make amends?
Really... I wonder if they are all so awkward. She has such a good appearance, but if she knows how to make good use of it, it will be a good weapon. Few men can resist her soft voice, right?However, after all, she is just a fluffy girl with little experience in the world, and she doesn't know how to use her.

"That's all." Huo Shijiu softened his heart again, "There is no need to mention this matter again, and you don't have to continue to learn the rules today, come tomorrow."

Jiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression immediately brightened, "The lord is resting, I'm taking my leave." She bowed her knees and left without hesitation.

Huo Shijiu looked at her delicate back, frowning.

Cao Yu stepped forward and said softly, "My lord, I have really wronged you today. I said earlier that she is not good enough for you."

"She's just a little smarter, a little more courageous, and a little boyish. But in recent days, observations show that she is full of joy and anger on her face. In fact, she is just a spoiled little girl." Huo Shijiu said quietly: "Say Maybe, I have to thank her."

Cao Yu looked at Huo Shijiu in confusion.

Huo Shijiu didn't explain, and went straight to the study.After changing clothes, there was a servant back and forth: "The British Lord invites your lord to come to the house and talk about it."

"So fast? I'm afraid Duke Ying has been paying attention to our family." Cao Yu said softly.

Huo Shijiu said "Yes", "Which subordinate can he really trust? Let's go, follow me.

"Yes."

It was already dark when Huo Dashuan led his people back to the farm thirty miles south of the capital city.The men returned home, while Huo Dashuan strode towards the largest courtyard in the farm.

Speaking of which, this place is not their Huo family's ancestral property, but a small part of Huangzhuang near Kyoto.They didn't want to go to Shichahai's mansion with Huo Shijiu, they were willing to farm, so the little emperor specially set aside this place for him to take care of, and didn't have to manage the eunuch Zhuang's hands, and didn't ask about his harvest, as much as they got was their family's. , just tell him to have fun.

This is the benefit that Huo Jiujiu brought to the Huo family.However, it is also a pain point for their family.

They would rather go back to Shunde Mansion to plow the land and eat bran and swallow vegetables than live happily like they do now.

"Dad, you're back!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a young girl in a pink cotton-padded skirt greeted her.

Huo Dashuan saw Yao Nu, and smiled fondly, "On the sixth day of the lunar new year, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet, my mother said that I will eat it when you come back."

"Where's your mother?"

"Talk to the second brother in the room."

Huo Dashuan couldn't understand poetry and books, and Dou Da didn't know a lot of Chinese characters. When his wife Zhao Shi gave birth to his eldest son, he couldn't think of a good name, so he decided to name it after his birthday.

The eldest son was born on the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, named Huo Shijiu.The second son was born on July 21, named Huo Eranyi.The youngest girl born on the sixth day of April is called Huo Chuliu.

Huo Chuliu is different from her two sons who look like their mother. She looks very much like Huo Dashuan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.Huo Dashuan liked his youngest daughter very much, and because her daughter was already eighteen years old, she was too old to talk about marriage, so he felt sorry for her, so he loved her even more.

Entering the house, Mrs. Zhao was sitting cross-legged on the big kang by the window to hold the soles of her shoes, while Huo Eranyi was sitting sideways peeling peanuts to eat.Seeing Huo Dashuan coming in, they all stood up to greet him.

Huo Dashuan ordered: "Twenty-one, go out with your sister first, father has something to tell your mother."

Huo Eryi threw down the peanut skin, "Father, is it Huo Shijiu's business again?"

Zhao frowned and said, "Twenty-one, he is your elder brother, how can you call him by his first name?"

"I don't have such a brother." Huo Eranyi spat in disdain, and walked away.

Huo Chuliu played with the long hair hanging on his chest, "Father, can't you tell me and the second brother to listen to the matter of the eldest brother?"

Huo Dashuan put on a straight face: "Children, what are you doing with adults? Go, tell the hot food on the stove, you are hungry!"

Huo Chuliu wrinkled his nose and made a face, flicked his braids and walked out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

Huo Dashuan reassuredly told Mrs. Zhao everything that happened just now, and finally said: "Meng Tian, ​​I originally thought that Ah Ying should not be allowed to harm the Third Miss Jiang, but looking at it now, the Third Miss Jiang was sent by God. Help us Ah Ying. No matter how bad that animal is, he is also our eldest son, so I figured it out, find a good day, and you and I will go to Jiang's house in person."

When Mrs. Zhao heard that someone had finally cured that evil obstacle, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, this marriage was originally proposed by us, and the girl is very good, but she was tired, if we If you don't show some sincerity, how can you live up to your conscience? As long as the girl from the Jiang family persuades Ah Ying well, I will treat her like my own daughter in the future, so that I can make up for her."

Huo Dashuan nodded, "Hey".

Huo Chuliu, who was squatting outside and listening to the window base, his eyes lit up.Excitedly ran to the wing room, "Second Brother, Second Brother! Guess what I heard!"
