Chapter 55
Hearing the sound, Jiang Wu looked back and saw the future sister-in-law with a bright smile on her face, pulling a tall, tall young man who looked five points like Huo Shijiu, and came in a light blue gown, and carefully looked at the young man whose appearance was similar to Zhao Shijiu's. There are seven points close.

"Sister-in-law." Huo Chuliu knelt before him, pulled Jiang Wu affectionately, and pointed at Huo Eranyao: "He is my second brother."

Jiang Wu poked the shovel into the ground and stood there, and greeted Huo Eranyi.

When Huo Eranyi looked at Jiang Wu, his face turned red to the base of his neck, and he bowed his head in silence.

Mrs. Zhao walked over with a smile: "Girl, you don't have to be cautious. His name is Twenty-one, and now he has a Biaozi, the word 'Ming'."

"One Huo Ying and one Huo Ming, they sound like two brothers!" Huo Dashuan leaned on a shovel and said heartily: "I was so tired of naming these bastards at the beginning. Nineteen is okay. They were born on the nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. It's called a birthday, but my mother's second child was born on July 21. He was called Huo Eryi earlier, but later people said it was ugly. A man's family is always called "Second Aunt, Second Aunt". An old neighbor who has ink in his belly said that 21 is twenty-one according to the Chinese calendar, so he is called Huo Twenty-one."

"You still have the guts to say it!" Mrs. Zhao glared at Huo Dashuan, "You don't know him. When he gave birth to his second child, he squatted at the door for three days and finally said that he should take a cheap name to support himself. He insisted on calling him 'Wood' According to me, no matter how clever a child is called Mu Mu, he will be called stupid."

Huo Dashuan blushed, and said in disbelief: "Then I'm still called 'Dashuan', I'm not stupid either!"

"Aren't you stupid? I didn't see you as smart either!"

……

Seeing that Huo Dashuan and Zhao Shi were bickering and exposing each other's shortcomings, Jiang Wu blinked curiously.

It goes without saying that she was an orphan in her previous life, but she has a family in this life, her parents and sisters are sincere to her, but her father and mother respect each other like guests, and she has never seen such a lively time.Maybe they insist on their status as elders and don't talk like this in front of their children?
But this time Jiang Wu felt more relaxed than ever before.

In fact, except for Huo Jiujiu's bad character, the Huo family is pretty good.

Huo Eranyi frowned, seeing that Huo Dashuan and Zhao Shi were both in a better mood than usual, they were really happy that Huo Shijiu was finally getting married, so he couldn't help being irritable.Looking at Jiang Wu again, I felt even more regretful, and sighed, "A good girl will be ruined by that bastard."

The originally lively scene turned cold in an instant, and Huo Dashuan and his wife looked at Jiang Wu anxiously.

Jiang Wu picked up the shovel and continued digging the ground as if nothing happened.

Huo Dashuan breathed a sigh of relief, and kicked Huo Nianyi when Jiang Wu turned her back to them.Huo Nianyi was quick to dodge, jumping away in one go.The angry Huo Dashuan blew his beard and stared at his eyes, but he didn't want to yell, so he had to watch Huo Nianyi leave arrogantly.

At this time, in the study room of the outer courtyard, Huo Shijiu had already changed into a sapphire blue cloud brocade Taoist robe, his long hair was tied back into a crown, and he stood in front of the window with his face sinking like water and his hands behind his hands.

Ting Yu bowed his head to the ground, "It's because the slaves didn't take good care of the girl and didn't protect the girl well, so the girl fell into the water. Please punish me."

"You also know that you are not serving well?" Huo Jiujiu's voice was gentle and cold.

Ting Yu's back felt cold, and he still knelt down, "Yes, the master ordered the slave to serve the girl well, but the slave violated the master's wishes. It almost caused the girl to be in danger, and it is really hard to escape the blame."

Huo Shijiu turned around and didn't say anything to deal with it, but asked: "What did the girl do today, is there any change?"

Ting Yu murmured, and said: "The girl is gentle and distant, but there is nothing unusual about it. It's just that when watching the play, Miss Song from Xinchang Hou's family deliberately knocked over the fruit plate and dirty the girl's clothes. The servant waited on the girl and went with the second wife to change clothes on the way back. , Bingsong once yelled anxiously, "Where are you, girl?" I said that it was because of the many rockery roads, and I was not paying attention when I was talking to Bixiang. Later, the girl said that she deliberately played with Bingsong son."

Huo Shijiu pondered: "In the rock formation?"

"Yes, it is the Fuqu Court next to Sydney Court."

"Then there was a servant girl who accidentally knocked the girl into the water?"

"That's true." Ting Yu nodded, "My lord, I think there must be something strange about it. Especially when the maid was whipped to death, her old lady and two younger sisters were there, crying heartbroken. I inquired later, and it is said that The maidservant's father is a bad gambler, he owes a lot of famine, and people say that he will drag all his daughters to pay off the debt."

Huo Shijiu pondered for a moment before saying: "You go, I'll pay you three months' salary if I don't serve the girl well enough, if there is another time, I'll pull out the door."

Ting Yu hurriedly kowtowed: "Yes, I don't dare anymore, I will leave."

After listening to the rain subside, Huo Shijiu leaned against the window lattice and stood for a long time.When he was analyzing what he heard today, Cao Yu stood beside him like a shadow, but his presence was not felt.

Until the servants came to pass the message: "Dinner has been prepared, and the grandfather invited the master to eat."

Huo Shijiu withdrew his thoughts and went back to the inner house with Cao Yu.

After dinner, Huo Shijiu personally sent Jiang Wu home.Along the way, Jiang Wu asked Bingsong not to mention the matter of falling into the water when she returned home, and asked Bingsong to collect the ten taels of silver rewarded by the British Duke for herself, and then entered the house.

It was already dark at this time, in the past Tang shi was not willing to spend money on lamp oil, and only one lamp was lit in the house, but today when he walked around the screen wall, he saw that the front hall was brightly lit.

Jiang Wu asked Sister Yin: "Is there a guest at home?"

Sister Yin smiled and said, "That's right, one of the master's colleagues came to visit with his family."

Jiang Wu raised her eyebrows and entered the room, seeing Jiang Xuewen, Tang's and a middle-aged couple taking their seats.Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao were on the side, talking with a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The girl was tall and tall, she was wearing an ivory-white fine cotton girdle, and her black hair was combed into a double bun. Perhaps she heard someone entering the door, but when she looked back, she only saw a pretty face with a heroic vigor, and a pair of Jiang and her eyes. Charming the same flying sword eyebrows.

Seeing her, Jiang Wu praised her in her heart.

She likes this kind of heroic woman the most, and she was like this in her previous life.In this life, she has given birth to a delicate and lovely body, and her stature is also petite. If Jianmei hadn't followed Jiang Xuewen, coupled with her own eyes that have read all the vicissitudes of life, she would have really become a pure and weak woman.She was not only envious of this woman's figure and appearance.

Jiang Xuewen was already smiling at this time and said: "Sister Wu is back? I came to see your Uncle Qiu and Auntie."

General Qiu?The one in the British public mouth?

Jiang Wu raised her forehead slightly, and quietly stepped forward to salute.

Qiu Maogong and his wife Ren nodded with a smile, and gave Jiang Wu a pair of golden silk bracelets as a greeting gift.

Tang said with a smile: "Sister Wu, go and talk to Chang Yin with your elder sister."

Before Jiang Wu could answer, the heroic girl had already arrived in front of Jiang Wu, bent her knees neatly, and said simply: "My name is Qiu Shangyin, are you Jiang Wu? You don't have to worry, even if you marry Huo Ying, a dog thief, it's no big deal , he is at the end of his life, and you will soon be out of the sea of ​​suffering." He smiled encouragingly at her as he spoke.
