After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 20

Chen Yao was originally the head of the mansion. In the past three years, she has changed all the servants in the mansion. Most of the loyal servants left behind by Qi Jiuzhu's birth mother were sent by Chen Yao to a remote village in the countryside.

Fortunately, Qi Jiuzhu often went to Zhuangzi to see them these years. Some of them had no family yet. After she told them about her intentions, some of them expressed their determination on the spot, saying that they were willing to go back with her and go to Siqiuyuan Serve Qi Shang.

In the end, she picked two good-looking ones and sent them to Siqiu Courtyard, and her father also left them behind, and already named Su Xiangcao as his aunt.

"I heard that Aye never went to Liuxiangyuan again. Today Aye called me to Siqiuyuan, saying that he would hand over the housekeeping power to me."

This matter is the pillow wind that Aunt Su blew in front of Qi Shang.

Qi Shao nodded, "My sister is thoughtful, and my sister's housekeeper is naturally the best, but my brother is still worried. Chen Yao suffered a loss and lost the right to be a housekeeper, so she will definitely not let it go. She is not easy to deal with, and my sister will Be careful."

"Brother is right. She will always be a disaster if she stays at home. When Aunt Su gets favor and completely replaces Chen Yao's position in Aye's heart, then we can touch her."

"I'm just a rough person. I don't understand anything about the inner house except for some boxing skills. My usual rampage always gets my sister into trouble. It's fine for my sister to decide on these matters."

Qi Shao felt sorry for her younger sister, she was weak, and she was always planning and worrying about everything at home, repeatedly tormenting her heart about these things at home, her body couldn't get better these years, she was still so weak and thin.

Seeing Qi Shao's dejected look, Qi Jiuzhu knew that he was distressed because he couldn't help, so she laughed and said, "Jiuzhu has something to discuss with whom I don't know, and I want to ask my brother to help me make up my mind."

Sure enough, Qi Shao's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Sister, please tell me."

Qi Jiuzhu coughed lightly, and said with a blushing face, "It was Aunt Xue who sent a letter, saying that my fourth cousin had won the Juren, and she asked me if I would like..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and she could hardly hear the last few words. She blushed like a flying glow, but seeing that Qi Shao was indifferent, as if she didn't understand what she meant, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed lightly, and raised her eyes Asked: "Brother, do you understand the meaning of Jiuzhu?"

Qi Shaoyuan didn't quite understand, but seeing his younger sister blushing and shy, he understood a little bit, he nodded, then frowned and shook his head.

Aunt Xue is the concubine of the uncle's family in the Earl's Mansion of Dongchang. Gu Yan is just a concubine of the Gu family, with three older brothers on his head. Aunt Xue is not favored either. There are many heirs in the Gu family. It's not even a bastard's turn to inherit.

In Qi Shao's view, the Gu family is more complicated than his own family. There are groups of wives and concubines in the uncle's family, a group of concubines and concubines, intrigues, brothers fighting against each other, all of which are all the troubles in the backyard. How can he bear to watch his sister jump into the fire pit.

"Not good." As soon as he said that, he regretted it. His sister had just been annulled, so he must be sad. He was afraid of hurting her, so he changed his words and said cautiously: "It's not very good, is it?"

Then I remembered what Wei Xuan said, so I put the invitation card into Qi Jiuzhu's hand anxiously, and said anxiously: "Sister, tomorrow, the Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held in Shen Shangshu's mansion. With this invitation, my sister can go to the banquet, and maybe she will meet someone she likes."

Shen Shangshu invited all the children of officials and eunuchs. Judging from his family background, he was no worse than Lu Mingtan. The key point is that his younger sister's talent and appearance naturally deserved the best.

No matter which one is better than the concubine of the Gu family.

"Where did the invitation come from, brother?"

Qi Shao swallowed his words again, "It's not important, the important thing is that all the young talents in Chang'an City will go tomorrow, so my sister will listen to her brother and go to Shen's mansion for a banquet, okay?"

Seeing her brother's hopeful eyes, she couldn't bear to reject his good intentions, but she had to be more rational about her marriage.

She put down the invitation, and calmly persuaded Qi Shao: "Jiuzhu understands that my brother is only thinking of me, but it is also a fact that I was divorced by the Lu family. My brother thinks that before I am engaged to the Lu family, how can the honorable families all over the city go?" One who wants to get married with our family? After being annulled by Lu Mingtan, it made me understand the truth that we should choose the right family for marriage."

Qi Shao was silent, he felt sorry for Jiu Zhu who had been wronged because of her marriage with Lu Mingtan, if she was born in a duke's family, would Lu Mingtan still dare to act blatantly?

Only Qi Jiuzhu said again: "My fourth cousin is very kind, he has a gentle temper and a refined manner, besides, he grew up with us, don't you worry about his character?"

"But he is just a concubine after all."

Gu Yan is quite talented, humble and gentle, he is a rare gentleman.

Regardless of appearance, talent, and conduct, they are all impeccable.

However, the difference between his son and his concubine determined that since he was born, he was overwhelmed by those elder brothers born above him.

The Gu family has a complicated relationship. He was afraid that Jiu Zhu would be bullied if he married such a family.

Qi Jiuzhu understood his inner doubts, and continued to persuade: "This time he topped the list in the township examination, and he must be in high school in the Qiuwei examination. With his talent, he will definitely be the top three in high school, and he will become an official in the future. That is also a bright future. With his talent, he might be able to serve as Zaifu, and those worries in my brother's heart will no longer exist."

Qi Shao was at a loss for words for a while, even though Qi Jiuzhu said Gu Yan was very good, he still felt that Gu Jiashiro was still not good enough for his sister.

"Does my sister like that Gu Shilang?"

Qi Jiuzhu was startled at first, she had never thought about this question, but simply felt that Gu Yan was the most suitable for her among the people she knew.

Aunt Xue is pure and kind, she is easy to get along with, and Gu Yanxiao's mother is also a gentle and gentle young man, such a person is naturally suitable to be a gentleman.

Maybe she will suffer when she marries into the Gu family, but that's only for a while. It's better to marry into a noble family than to marry into a noble family. Later, she will be tortured by her husband and mother-in-law, and even lose her life.

She had already seen what happened in her dream.

"It should be in the future! Besides, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, the most important thing is to live a good life, isn't it?"

Lu Mingtan raised a foreign room and had a secret relationship with a human child. She was very sad, but she didn't care about Lu Mingtan. After being divorced, she felt relaxed.

As for Gu Yan, she grew up with him, and Gu Yan is like a kind elder brother in her heart. If they get married, they will be able to live in harmony, that's enough.

Qi Shao also fell silent after hearing his sister's words. Qi Jiuzhu didn't know what was wrong with what she said, but she was only 17 years old, and her heart was haggard at such a young age. He felt that Gu Yan was actually not suitable.

"Sister, we haven't made a decision anyway, it's always good to go out and have a look, promise brother, brother will accompany you to Shen's house tomorrow, is that okay?"

Qi Jiuzhu nodded obediently, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will promise my brother to go and have a look."

Qi Jiuzhu handed the invitation to Chen Xiang, then went to look at the ledger in the house, counted the inventory, and soon got busy.
