It's not expensive, not as valuable as the Life-Sustaining Pill and Heart-Saving Pill you gave me. If you refuse again, it means you despise an old man like me."
Taifu Xie said in a feigned anger.
Since his friend couldn't give a gift to his granddaughter, he gave it on his friend's behalf to prevent his friend from regretting and blaming him in the future.
Moreover, what he said was the truth. The heart-saving pills and life-extending pills that the girl gave him were medicines that could save his life. A mere set of golden headgear could not be as important as his life.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa!"
Having said that, it's really disheartening to continue to be so hypocritical and push the blame around.
What's more, her pills are indeed more valuable than that set of golden headgear.
After Gao Zhijun took Tutor Xie to visit the courtyard, Huo Jinqian took him back to the Huo Mansion.
At this time, Mrs. Lu came out of the yard, and the two of them happened to bump into each other. They bumped into each other and were both stunned for a while.
Although Mrs. Lu knew that Huo Jinqian's teacher was Tutor Xie, she was still stunned when she actually met her. After all, she was already dead.
"Hong Qiujue? Hong Qiujue, the concubine daughter of the Marquis of Huaiyang? You're not dead. It turns out you were the one who saved the young master."
When he met Hong Qiujue, Master Xie understood everything.
Hong Qiujue is the eldest princess’ best friend, and it must be her who saved the young master.
No wonder as soon as the news of the young master's murder came, news came from Huaiyang Marquis that Hong Qiujue and her daughter were burned to death. The emperor and Anyang Marquis did not believe it, and they both secretly sent people to investigate. In the end, they found out that it was the marquis's wife who ordered someone to set the fire. Only then did the matter come to an end, and the emperor and Anyang Marquis' suspicions were dispelled.
It seems that Marquis Huaiyang must have been involved in this, but I don’t know why he would help Hong Qiujue.
"Master Taifu, Hong Qiujue is dead. I am only Lv Qiuyu, Huo Zhiyuan's wife, and Huo Jinqian's mother. I hope Master Taifu will not misunderstand."
After being stunned for a while, Mrs. Lu came to her senses and said to Master Xie.
Her hidden meaning was that she wanted the Grand Tutor to keep it a secret for her. She was Lu Qiuyu.
"I'm sorry, Madam Huo. My eyes are blurry and I mistaken you for someone else. You are Madam Huo, Lu Qiuyu."
"I wonder if Mrs. Huo would be able to chat with me!"
Although Master Xie didn't know why she turned into Lu Qiuyu, he wanted to know why the eldest princess's son was saved by her and what happened that year.
He had known Huo Jinqian for almost a month, but he hadn't asked about his life in Huojia Village, wanting to wait until he met his adoptive parents to get to know him better. Now that he had met the eldest princess's best friend, the concubine of the Marquis of Huaiyang, he had a rough idea of what was going on.
"Okay, Master Taifu, please come this way!"
"Jinqian, go greet the classmates and the teacher."
After giving Huo Jinqian some instructions, Mrs. Lu took Master Xie to her courtyard.
"Yes, mother!"
Huo Jinqian went to the fifth courtyard to greet his classmates and the teacher from Taizhou Academy.
Lu Qiuyu and Master Xie were talking in the study room with the door closed.
He didn't come out until Huo Jinqian came to call them to start the meal.
What did the two of them say in there? No one knows except the two parties involved.
After everyone was seated, Huo Zhiyuan went up to speak: "Today is the grand day of the Huo Family Village's new residence. Welcome all the gentlemen to visit my humble home, welcome all the teachers to visit my humble home, welcome all the villagers to visit my humble home. I have prepared some wine and food, I hope you will not be dissatisfied, eat and drink well, and don't leave until you are drunk!"
"Today is another happy event, it's the day my third son Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun are getting engaged.
Please invite Quanzi and Zhijun up!"
Huo Zhiyuan went up to give a speech and also mentioned the engagement of Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun.
Except for the Huo family, the Sun family, and the villagers of Huo Village, the rest of the guests were unaware of the happy event today, and Gao Zhijun, one of the parties involved, was also unaware of it.
She was confused at the moment, sitting in her seat in a daze.
No wonder, yesterday, her aunt asked her for a jade pendant she liked. She was puzzled at the time. Why did she want the jade pendant she liked? Couldn't she have another one? She had just bought a jade pendant because she thought it was beautiful. She hadn't even touched it or worn it to her heart's content before she gave it to her aunt. She felt a little unhappy at the time.
For the original owner, she took off the jade pendant from her body and gave it to her aunt, watching her leave with reluctance in her eyes.
The aunt pushed the dazed Gao Zhijun, took out the jade pendant she had asked her for yesterday, and took her upstairs.
Huo Jinqian stood up and was accompanied by Huo Jinzhou, who held a jade pendant in his hand.
This jade pendant was hung around his neck by the eldest princess when he was a child, and it has been with him until now.
That jade pendant is a royal item, given to the eldest princess by the late emperor.
After being rescued by Lu Qiuyu, he kept it away and only found it last night and gave it to Huo Jinqian.
"The love between Quanzi and Zhijun..."
"They can't get engaged!"
A woman's voice came from below, interrupting Huo Zhiyuan's words. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice in surprise, and saw a woman in a yellow brocade skirt, pointing arrogantly at Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun above and speaking in opposition.
What's going on? That lady wouldn't like Mr. Huo, so she comes out to snatch him away now.
What a drama they had witnessed.
You have come to the right place today. Not only will you enjoy abundant food and drinks, but you will also get to watch a free show.
"Qingrui, don't be rude!"
When Tian Tongzhi saw everyone looking at him, he glared at his daughter in embarrassment.
It's shameful, so shameful.
“Dad, they are brother and sister, how can they be engaged?
Besides, Mr. Huo likes my daughter, and my daughter likes Mr. Huo too. We are in love with each other. She is a mistress, destroying the relationship between Mr. Huo and me. She has no shame."
Seeing her father scolding her, Tian Qingrui took out her anger on Gao Zhijun, saying that she was a mistress.
