A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 136 Hostility (Part [-])
Qi Yuanxu knew that he had become a thorn in the side of the old man and the whole family, and he never came back to hate him after he got married.

But the Qi family did not openly sever ties with him, and he is still a descendant of the Qi family, and he still has to do many things in order to save face.

Just like-

His cousin was named on the gold list, and his family entertained guests to celebrate his admission. As the elder brother, he had to go back home to drink and congratulate.

In the feudal system with strict hierarchy, the family is a person's foundation and greatest reliance.

No one dares to give up easily.

And as for why he brought people here instead of Qi Yuanming...

Qi Huan knew it in his heart, Qi Yuanming probably couldn't help but want to strangle her every time he saw her now, so how could he run errands for her!
Qin Song stopped talking, and turned to look at the past together with Qi Huan.

Qi Yuanxu led the man, and the two walked quickly while talking all the way, they looked very familiar.

Seeing Qi Huan and Qin Song standing together alone from a distance, even though the two of them did not overstep the rules in broad daylight, Qi Yuanxu was inevitably a little vigilant and surprised.

"I've seen Lord Hou." He greeted Qin Song together with the man.

Qin Song said a faint "um", with an arrogant attitude.

Although his identity is there, it is understandable not to return the courtesy...

But Qi Huan just had a kind of intuition, his attitude seemed to be intentional, and he felt a little hostile towards Qi Yuanxu and the two of them invisibly.

It is true that for a person like him, there is really no reason to have trouble with Qi Yuanxu.

Qi Huan glanced at Qi Yuanxu, then quietly looked at the person who came with him.

He still said to Qi Yuanxu: "Big brother came here to find me?"

Behind this corridor is the Qixia Garden, and Qi Yuanxu doesn't live in the backyard.

Although the corridor is connected on both sides, and when you walk to the end, you can turn to the second room and other places, but today the second room is the owner of the wedding, and Qi Yuanming is the party involved. At this time, their family must be entertaining guests in the front yard, and there is no need to bring guests deliberately Look for it in the backyard.

"Oh..." Qi Yuanxu was about to answer.

But Qin Song snapped back and said, "You're right if you don't know him, this is the fifth son of Uncle Yongxing's mansion, Yu Huaijin."

He raised his eyebrows, obviously with an expression that he didn't want to make friends with Yu Huaijin, and he didn't like it too much, but he wanted to rush to speak for Qi Yuanxu: "The fifth son came here for the banquet held at your house a few days ago. Apologize for the turmoil at that time, right? The family really is a corporal, very generous and polite!"

Yu Huaijin is the second son of Uncle Yongxing, but he has several brothers and sisters born of concubines, so he is the fifth in the family.

Qi Huan went to his house for a banquet, so he has a general understanding of his situation.

He is twenty-two this year, and like the two brothers from the Qi family, he is both studying in Taixue, and they are considered classmates.

The fifth son of the Yu family is not ugly, but he is not outstanding either.

The whole body is that of a scholar, and there is a bit of romantic and calm temperament in the elegance.

And because he is a child of an aristocratic family, he is well-bred and behaves gracefully.

A man of this age is at the time of youth and vigor. If he cleans up carefully, he will not make a bad first impression.

Qi Huan summed it up in four words——

One-of-a-kind talent!
Qin Song spoke rudely to him, and Yu Huaijin responded politely, with a kind and humble smile on his face, "What Hou Ye said is not bad, it is indeed for that matter."

Only then did he look at Qi Huan, and bowed solemnly again: "It was because my family didn't entertain well that day, and didn't take care of the guests in the house. My father and your father were old friends. Afterwards, I heard that two Miss Qi were treated at our house. I feel very sorry for being implicated and wronged. Just taking advantage of today's opportunity, I prepared two gifts and wanted to apologize to the two girls face to face and express my apology."

As he spoke, he took out two identical rectangular sandalwood boxes from under his wide sleeves.

There are carvings on the box, which is very detailed and exquisite.

He was polite and handed over the box with both hands.

His eyebrows and eyes were clearly docile, and there was no presumptuousness beyond the rules, but Qi Huan keenly noticed that he paused for a moment when he handed over the things.

Seems like—

hesitate.

Qin Song next to him had a cold face that was used to being arrogant, but he was also rarely interested. His eyes were a little cold, and he was also looking at the things in Yu Huaijin's hands.

Qi Huan has always been easy to talk to.

He came with kindness, and she raised her hand to take it.

two together.

While opening it casually to have a look, he casually asked, "What is it?"

Yu Huaijin withdrew her hand, her attitude was still polite and polite: "It's just a few snails, my grandmother got it by chance, and there were no suitable sisters at home, so I simply borrowed flowers to present Buddha and gave it to the two girls as an apology, Miss Qi, don't dislike it shallow."

Luo Dai is produced in Persia. It is extremely rare and rare for ancient women to draw eyebrows.

Yu Huaijin had concubine sisters in his family. He said it was not applicable, but it was just an excuse. Even if there were no direct sisters, his eldest brother had a wife and daughter.

Qi Huan looked very interested, and opened the two boxes one by one in front of him to look at them.

The two gifts are exactly the same, six in each box.

Qin Song next to him didn't speak anymore, seeing her "inspect" in front of the gift giver as if she had never seen the world, her eyes became more and more unkind.

Qi Huan took the things in his hands and only cared about playing with them.

She didn't speak anymore, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Qi Yuanxu first felt uncomfortable, so he said to Yu Huaijin, "Then either..."

Once you've done what you need to do, let's go.

It's hard to stay here.

A peaceful smile appeared on the corner of Yu Huaijin's lips, and he wanted to let him go if he was kind, but Qi Huan closed the box again with a snap, and handed the things back again.

Yu Huaijin was taken aback for a moment, hesitated to pick it up.

Qi Huan smiled: "What happened that day, it turned out that our sisters were reckless and caused trouble for the family. The fifth son and your father did not blame us. Our sisters are already very grateful."

"No..." Seeing her refusal, Yu Huaijin was slightly shocked, and immediately wanted to take the responsibility on himself.

Qi Huan didn't give him a chance, and directly changed the subject: "But since the fathers of our two families are old friends, I don't need to be polite to the family."

She stuffed the two boxes together back into Huai Jin's arms: "But I don't usually like to paint my eyebrows, so I don't want to spoil the wishes of the family. I will accept the things. Even with this one of mine For... Big brother, please take the fifth son to find the second sister, she should like this."

Yu Huaijin held the things in his arms, a little stupefied.

Qi Huan didn't care about them anymore.

She turned around, just in time to see a figure walking by at the other end of the corridor, who looked like Qi Wenjing, so she raised her foot to chase after her: "You guys talk, the one over there seems to be the eldest aunt, I haven't seen her today, go and invite her Ann."

She walked very quickly and neatly, but the three men had different expressions, but they obviously didn't respond to it.

Qin Song stared at the two wooden boxes in Yu Huaijin's arms again, and the disdainful coldness in his eyes dissipated a little.

Yu Huaijin was holding the two small boxes, but secretly her heart was beating uncontrollably, and her ears felt slightly hot from embarrassment.

Qi Yuanxu didn't have any other feelings except seeing the arrogance of his own younger sister who still went her own way.

Qin Song had already turned around and walked two steps, went down the corridor, and walked into the garden: "The Marquis has something else to do, so I won't accompany you."

As soon as he left, Qi Yuanxu and the two of them came back to their senses.

"My eldest sister is like this. She is spoiled by her mother and she is a bit too straightforward. Don't mind." Qi Yuanxu glanced at the things in Yu Huaijin's arms, and smoothed things over for Qi Huan against his conscience, "Then... I will do it again. Let me accompany you to find the second younger sister? Or, if you give me the things, I will ask someone to deliver them for you later?"

He suffered from Qi Huan's hands, and now he has almost formed an instinct, as long as Qi Huan says something, he will be extra distracted.

Originally, at Yu Huaijin's request, he had brought him here to meet Qi Huan in person, and since he had finished speaking, he accepted the gift from the Yu family directly, and asked his servants to deliver it to Qi Changge.

But Qi Huan specifically said, telling them to find Qi Changge, he opened his mouth and took the initiative to ask a question.

Yu Huaijin quickly adjusted her expression: "Then go find the second girl. Anyway, it's still early before the banquet, and I'm just hanging out at your house."

"Alright." Qi Yuanxu didn't doubt that he was there, so he led him into the garden again.

Qi Huan walks fast here. Firstly, she is always under pressure and uncomfortable when staying with that little Qin Houye. Secondly,...

It is also the beauty of intentional adulthood.

She did not know Yu Huaijin before, but as soon as Qin Song reported his family background, she immediately remembered it.

Two days ago, when she finished making trouble in Uncle Yongxing's mansion and dragged Qi Changge to "run away", she caught a glimpse of the fifth son of the Yu family from a distance behind the crowd.

I didn't know who he was at the time, so I didn't pay much attention, but I had a little impression.

Presumably, as the host at that time, he heard that something had happened there, so he rushed over to quell the conflict.

As a result, when they arrived, they saw that it was two little girls who were arguing, and it was wrong to take sides, so they simply didn't show up.

As for his so-called apology gift today...

At that time, it was her, Qi Huan, who was fighting and making trouble. Qi Changge was at best a background board, but he kept saying that he was here to make amends to the "two" girls.

Qi Huan thinks that his EQ is still passable, although he doesn't know if it's because of his concubine's intention...

Since Lang has feelings, so why not be a good person?
In the general environment of this ghost place, blind marriages are the norm. Even if the fifth son of the Yu family is interested in sex, if the family proposes to Qi Changge, Qi Wenjing and his wife can only choose her son-in-law , Pick another auspicious day and get married for her.

Qi Huan is powerless to change the rules and traditions of this great era, she is luckier, so she still has room for this.

To say something unpleasant——

Who does Qi Changge marry?
This Yu Jiawulang is a man of good family background, motivated and famous.

Of course, if Qi Changge is unwilling, she can't control it, let alone control it.

Here she was absent-minded, and followed Qi Wenjing's back all the way, turned two corners, but entered the last fifth courtyard.

In that yard, except for the small Buddhist hall left by Mrs. Tai and a few yards where sundries were piled up, most of the places have now been converted into servants' rooms, and it is considered the dirtiest place in the mansion.

Qi Huan stopped in the yard, after a little thought, he guessed where Qi Wenjing had gone.

Her eldest aunt was raised by Mrs. Tai at her knees, and now she should go to the Buddhist hall to see things and think about people, and to offer incense to the old lady.

Qi Huan originally said he was looking for her, but it was just an excuse.

But thinking about it, there is nothing to do right now, so he really walked towards the small Buddhist hall.

The gate of that courtyard was indeed open, and there was no sound or movement inside.

Qi Huan walked in on tiptoe.

The door of the room inside was ajar, and after noon, the light in the room became even more dim.

I saw that inside, Qi Wenjing was holding a handkerchief, carefully wiping the golden Buddha statue enshrined on the altar bit by bit.

With her back turned to this side, Qi Huan couldn't see her expression, but could clearly see the gentleness in her movements.

Although no one is using this Buddhist hall now, the Buddha statues in the mansion are not allowed to be desecrated. There will still be servants coming to clean them every day, and by the way, burn incense in the morning and evening.

But where there is no owner, servants will inevitably steal, rape, play tricks and slack off.

It took Qi Wenjing a long time to wipe the front and back of the not very big Buddha statue.

After that, her well-maintained slender fingertips lingered slightly, touching a string of old prayer beads hanging in the hands of the Buddha statue.

Even though he didn't see or hear any of her expressions or words, Qi Huan inexplicably felt a very desolate feeling.

Qi Huan is not a person who likes to be sad, she pondered for a moment, then walked in: "I heard that this Buddha statue was personally invited into the mansion by my great-grandmother when she was there to enshrine, does my aunt think of her old man again?"

Qi Wenjing was disturbed suddenly, but she didn't panic.

She turned her head and saw that it was Qi Huan, so she put away all her last bit of guard: "It's you."

There is some moisture in the corners of the eyes, which makes people uncomfortable.

She subconsciously wanted to wipe it with a handkerchief, but found that the handkerchief was dirty.

Qi Huan walked over, took out his handkerchief and handed it over.

Qi Wenjing didn't feel embarrassed, took her handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes before returning it.

Her gaze was still lingering on the Buddha statue, with a faint and sad smile on the corner of her lips, she calmly narrated: "When I was young, I often sat in this Buddhist hall with my grandmother for half a day. There is a strong smell of incense, but since she left, when I come here again, I can't smell that smell, and I always feel that this home is not like a home."

The one closest to him was gone, and the mansion was no more than a residence, not a home to be attached to.

Qi Huan has only seen Qi Wenjing a few times, but he knows that she is a rational and open-minded person.

Suddenly feeling so sad, it's strange to watch.

Qi Huan didn't know how to comfort her, and suddenly regretted rushing in like this.

But Qi Wenjing didn't mind.

It may also be that she hasn't mentioned her old friend for a long time, and suddenly someone barged in recklessly, and she wanted to talk about it instead.

She looked at the Buddha statue softly again: "I was brought up by my grandmother, although she treated me very well and taught me a lot, but since I can remember, I know that she is extremely painful, maybe... …would be better off if I wasn't around her."

Qi Huan recalled those past events that he had heard a few words: "Is it because of that great-aunt who died young? I heard my mother mention one thing or two, saying that she used to be an extremely outstanding girl in the capital. She had a good appearance. , people are also courageous and intelligent, not only proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also good at riding and shooting."

Qi Zhengyu has a younger sister who is a direct relative, born with his mother.

But she was a confidante, and she left very early. Since then, Mrs. Tai has been depressed and no longer cares about her family. She eats fast and prays to Buddha, and spends most of her time in this Buddhist hall praying for her daughter.

"Speaking of which, it was all thirty years ago, let alone your mother..." The smile lines on Qi Wenjing's lips are still bleak: "I don't have any impression of her. I was just born when she passed away, so I don't remember anything. But Mama Pan, who is next to my grandmother, once told me that my grandmother used to be vigorous and unrestrained. She was born in the general family, and her little aunt was taught by her. Yes, it was too much of a blow to her. If it wasn't for being depressed...she should have lived a long life. I took care of my little aunt, made up for her shortcomings, and won the love of my grandmother. When I was young, I thought about waiting for me When I grow up, I must be filial to her old man, but I haven't waited in the end."

Often, the longer the time since the deceased is away, the feelings of people living in the world towards them will become weaker and weaker day by day.

But those feelings that have been there are engraved in the depths of the soul after all.

Living people are always looking forward and walking forward, but once they turn back one day and touch the emotions that touched him the most, they are still so strong and irreplaceable.

Qi Wenjing said, her eyes were already red.

She probably felt that it was not good to cry in front of her niece at her age, so she hurriedly took her sleeve and pressed the corners of her eyes, then smiled at Qi Huan again: "Forget it, I won't mention these old things. By the way, why did you come here too?"

"I was walking in the corridor, and I saw a person who looked like my aunt from a distance, so I wanted to come over and have a look." Qi Huan said honestly, "The last time I went to your house, you gave me a lot of good wine, and I I haven't thanked you in person yet."

When mentioning that, Qi Wenjing's eyes showed a little deep meaning.

Her smile also became brighter, but she didn't want to tell Qi Huan face to face, she just said: "It's just as long as you like it."

Qi Huan didn't answer, because he didn't know how to answer her.

The wine was clearly sent to her by Gu Zhan under the guise of Gao's family. She didn't know about it before, so she could take it calmly without any burden. Now facing an elder like Qi Wenjing, she felt a little guilty and uncomfortable.

Qi Wenjing saw it, and didn't make fun of her, she just raised her hand and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't hang out in the backyard if you have nothing to do, go back to the front early."

She didn't invite Qi Huan together, probably because she was in a bad mood, so she didn't want to deal with others, so she left in a hurry.

Qi Huan stood in the room for a while, went over and lit three incense sticks, bowed respectfully three times, and put them in the incense burner.

She thought that Qi Wenjing was supposed to come here to offer incense, but she forgot it because she was sad for a while.

She finished worshiping the Buddha statue piously and was about to come out...

As soon as he turned around, he saw Qin Song appearing at some time, standing tall and standing in the middle of the courtyard.

Qi Huan frowned, went out and closed the door, walked up to him, and said displeasedly, "What are you doing here?"

Qin Song's eyes were a little deep, and his eyes were still on the two doors that she closed, and he said slowly: "This Marquis has also heard from the elders in the family that there was once a very outstanding person in the Changning Marquis's house. The girl, if she hadn't passed away at the age of fourteen, she would have been promised to be the side concubine of King Ni."

The so-called Niwang is the original Xinwang.

The half-brother of His Majesty today, intending to get involved in the throne, forced the palace to usurp the throne when the late emperor was seriously ill, but was killed in failure.

It is said that—

It was his remnant party who attempted to assassinate the prince in the imperial mausoleum in early February.

Qi Huan's heart trembled slightly.

Qi Zhengyu has always had the ambition to carry forward the Marquis of Changning, but she didn't know that in the early years, the Qi family was so close to those people in the center of imperial power.

She couldn't digest the information for a while, and she couldn't help being stunned.

Qin Song also turned his eyes away, and fell on her face, jokingly laughed: "It's a good thing she went early, if she really waited to grow two years old and entered Xinwang's Mansion..."

He looked around this old courtyard that was incompatible with the Hou's Mansion, and his tone deliberately deepened: "There is no such Changning Hou's Mansion in the current capital."

Qi Huan's heart trembled violently again.

She even felt extremely panicked for a moment.

Is that a coincidence?

Thirty years ago, her great-aunt died at the age of fourteen in her prime, and less than half a year later, the Xin Wang case broke out!
