In the antique study room, under a huge bookshelf filled with a dazzling array of books, a man in black was sitting in front of the desk, looking at the letter in his hand carefully, not knowing what he saw, and frowning.
At this time, there was a regular knock on the door.
Accompanied by a man's low voice asking, "Master, Miss Jiang from Jingzhou has sent a New Year's gift. Do you want to see it?"
The man in black who was sitting upright immediately stood up after hearing this, put away the letter in his hand, and said urgently: "Bring it in quickly."
With a click, a man in black clothes dressed as a guard walked in with his head lowered, handed over two tightly wrapped gifts, and said: "This is from Miss Jiang from Jingzhou, one is for the master, and the other is for the cousin."
Yes, it’s all marked.”
Huo Jingchen immediately took it and looked at the identical New Year's gift in front of him. His expectant face suddenly sank.
Huo Jingyun suddenly felt a familiar chill. Due to his responsibilities, he bit the bullet and said, "If nothing happens, I will leave first."
"Is that all? Nothing else?" Huo Jingchen was silent for a while and said in a deep voice.
"Miss Jiang also gave a gift to subordinate He Yubai." After a slight hesitation, Huo Jingyun decided to tell the truth. After all, it was impossible to hide this matter from Huo Jingchen.
Hearing this, the atmosphere became more condensed, and a strange silence spread in the study room, which only made Huo Jingyun break into a cold sweat.
"Go down." Huo Jingchen said quietly after coming over for a while.
Huo Jingyun hurriedly bowed and left, looking as anxious as if there was a wild beast chasing after him, but he still remembered to close the door.
After quietly looking at the New Year's gift in front of him for a long time, Huo Jingchen slowly opened the tightly wrapped paper box.
As soon as I opened it, I saw a pile of neat clothes lying quietly inside. When I spread it out, it turned out to be a set of clothes, hats, gloves, scarves, socks, tops, and trousers. They were all white, with exquisite patterns, and warm.
The touch makes everything feel so comfortable.
Huo Jingchen couldn't help but try it immediately. Feeling the warm and furry feeling in his hands, the unhappiness in his heart was swept away, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
But when he saw the exact same New Year's gift from the corner of his eye, he immediately lowered the corners of his mouth and stuffed the thing into the cabinet beside him without any expression, out of sight and out of mind.
Outside the study, Huo Yubai, who was waiting to watch the show, watched Huo Jingyun walk out expressionlessly, patted Huo Jingyun on the shoulder, and laughed mercilessly: "Oh! The general didn't punish you, did he?
But it doesn’t matter, after all, you can finally experience the feeling of cleaning the stables, so enjoy it!"
Huo Jingyun coldly shook off Huo Yubai's hand, smiled meaningfully, and said leisurely: "Master didn't punish me, but don't be too disappointed. After all, this is your unique honor, you'd better enjoy it.
This is my exclusive favor."
Seeing Huo Jingyun striding away arrogantly, Huo and Bai were like wild cats with explosive fur, stamping their feet angrily.
At this time, a woman in pink clothes walked into the courtyard with a maid in green clothes.
"Yubai, where is my eldest brother?"
Huo Yubai immediately calmed down his emotions, and when he turned around, he saw Huo Yunyao standing there handsomely.
"My subordinate has met the second girl." Huo Yubai hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"No gifts, no gifts, is my eldest brother inside?" Huo Yunyao pointed to the closed door and said in a positive tone.
Huo Jingchen, who had long heard the familiar coquettish voice, immediately put down the gift in his hand and strolled to the door.
"Yao'er, what do you want from me?"
"Brother! The eldest sister is back. I'm anxious to see you! Come with me quickly." As soon as she saw the tall figure suddenly appearing, Huo Yunyao hurried over and said in a crisp voice.
"Okay." Huo Jingchen responded with a smile.
Several people walked to Mrs. Huo's Chunhui Hall. Before they even stepped into the courtyard, they heard the laughter and laughter of women coming from inside.
As soon as Huo Jingchen entered, he greeted several elders, and then smiled and looked at the beautiful woman sitting next to Mrs. Huo.
"Brother, you're finally back!" When Huo Yunqi saw his twin brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he stood up in a hurry and greeted him excitedly.
"You are already a mother, and you are still so unstable." Huo Jingchen subconsciously touched the soft hair of his twin sister and said with a smile.
"Brother!" Huo Yunqi was rarely coquettish and looked at his son with embarrassment, who was looking at him curiously.
As soon as he thought of something, Huo Yunqi waved to Bai Huhu's son and said softly: "Brother Heng, come here quickly. Haven't you always wanted to see your uncle? This is the uncle who gives you gifts every year.
"
Hearing this, Brother Heng shyly hid in Mrs. Huo's arms, leaving only his plump little butt exposed.
When everyone saw him like this, they all laughed.
"Brother Heng, why are you so shy? This is uncle, don't be afraid." Mrs. Huo softly comforted the shy little grandson in her arms.
"Yes, Brother Heng, didn't you just keep urging me to hurry up and invite my eldest brother over? Why are you so shy now?" Huo Yunyao on the side saw his funny reaction and couldn't help teasing him deliberately.
Brother Heng moved his chubby little body when he heard this, but he still hid in Mrs. Huo and refused to go over.
Huo Jingchen simply walked over. His usually stern face melted with ice and snow, and he said warmly: "Are you Brother Heng? I am your uncle. Come, this is a meeting gift from your uncle."
With that said, Huo Jingchen took out a white jade tiger pendant from his sleeve and handed it to the children who looked at him curiously and timidly.
Brother Heng hesitated for a moment, but after all he liked the small pendant in front of him so much that he mustered up the courage to stretch out his chubby hand and quickly took it.
Seeing him like this, Huo Jingchen smiled slightly and touched his little head gently.
"By the way, brother, this is the second daughter of our family, Zhiyuan's cousin, Ningyu." Huo Yunqi saw Xi Ningyu sitting obediently in the corner from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly introduced her.
"Ningyu, this is my eldest brother, the newly promoted General Weiyuan."
"Ningyu has met the eldest brother of the Huo family." Xi Ningyu stood up and bent her knees to say hello.
"Please get up quickly." Huo Jingchen raised his hand slightly and said warmly.
I saw a beautiful girl of about seven or eight years old with red lips, white teeth, almond-shaped eyes and a beautiful nose, standing obediently on the spot. Although she is young, she can vaguely see her stunning and graceful grace in the future.
If Jiang Hexi were here, he would probably open his almond-shaped eyes in surprise with a frightened look on his face. Isn't this familiar name the same as the chairwoman Ningyu in the original book who will be so talented and beautiful in the future that she will be crowned the capital!
