A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 187 She was killed, right?

The two continued to go to the front yard.

Although Qi Huan didn't tell Xing Luo Yunxi and the others about the ambition of the second room, but recently, the relationship between the two rooms has taken a turn for the worse, and the girls can also see it.

There was no one around, Xing Luo said: "Old Hou Ye is still alive, as long as the second room and the others don't make big mistakes, even the old Hou Ye can't casually mention the separation of the family, since ancient times there has been no such reason, people will laugh at them."

Qi Huan naturally understood this truth.

In ancient times, filial piety was emphasized, especially for scholars, and they used filial piety as a face.

When the parents are still alive, they do not separate the family to show the harmony of the family. Even if the old man is gone, the family is separated within the filial period...

Everyone will be criticized.

But the people in the second room are too restless, Qi Wenang covets the title so wholeheartedly, and everyone lives under the same roof, Qi Huan has to be on guard all the time, guarding against their tricks under the nose.

She said: "I just said that casually. The second uncle is always upset when people see him being spoiled by the old man."

In the Qi family, the old man blatantly favors the second son, this is obvious to all outsiders.

That is to say, Qi Wenjing has a softer personality, can tolerate everything, and doesn't care about it. If he is a narrow-minded and kind-hearted person, I am afraid that the two families in the family will be incompatible and find excuses to fight openly and secretly every day.

But what can we do with the hat of old rules and filial piety?
When the old man is here, not to mention that there are not enough legitimate reasons, even if there is a reason, once the family splits up, the Changning Hou Mansion will become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

Qi Huan is really tired of this feudal society where everything involves the whole family!
She went to the Second Courtyard, but before Qi Wenjing came back, she asked the boy in charge of the house to open the door and light the lamp, and went into the study to sit and wait.

Qi Wenjing didn't have any entertainment today, and what happened outside the palace gate in the morning made his heart hang. If he hadn't just been dragged by a colleague to talk for a while when he got out of the yamen, he would have returned a quarter of an hour earlier.

When he came back and saw Qi Huan waiting in the room, he was surprised at first, but then he changed his mind...

Then he guessed that Gu Zhan had come to pass the news during the day.

He personally untied the cloak for him, took it away and put it away.

Xing Luo handed him a wet handkerchief, and waited for him to wipe his hands and face.

After Qi Wenjing tidied things up a bit, he took the initiative to ask Qi Huan, "Are you feeling better? Why do you still go out to have a shower at night?"

"It's not a big hindrance at first, but my mother is narrow-minded and keeps me from going out." Qi Huan said with a smile, "If my father is not in a hurry to eat, shall I talk to my father first?"

Qi Wenjing gave him a wink.

His father backed out casually.

Xing Luo said: "This servant is going to urge some tea soup."

Then he went down to help make tea.

Qi Wenjing took Qi Huan to find two chairs and sat down casually, with a slightly dignified expression, he still took the initiative to say: "Is it for your sister's business? Speaking of which, it was thanks to Gu Shizi and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passing by in the morning and helping me." Only a few words, I was able to get out of the siege, otherwise King Ning's words will not be pushed back."

Qi Huan didn't go around in circles with him, and said bluntly: "King Ning, my daughter doesn't understand, but I asked Gu Shizi during the day, and he said that as long as His Majesty is alive, King Ning will not dare to go too far. He means, as soon as possible Arrange the marriage for the second younger sister."

Qi Wenjing was silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant.

Qi Huan looked at his words, waited for him for a while, and couldn't help becoming nervous again: "The Yu family, do you think it may not be possible? Yu Wulang has never left Beijing for a long time, isn't it related to the second sister?"

She had reminded Qi Wenjing before that she might as well check out the tone of Uncle Yongxing's mansion.

Later, because of continuous accidents at home, I didn't bother to ask about it.

She thought that Qi Wenjing was in such a state of desperation that he hadn't had time to ask.

Qi Wenjing said: "Uncle Yongxing, I met a few days ago. I have already asked about it. Our two families know each other well. We have been friends with him for many years as a father, and we can trust each other's character. He is willing and holds That child, Jin, had also confided in him in private before that, that he really wanted Changge. Brother Changming only said Mrs. Tai Yu..."

Mrs. Yu Jiatai is the mother of Yongxing Bo Yu Changming, and to Qi Wenjing, she is considered an elder.

He felt a little uncomfortable discussing the rights and wrongs of his elders in private.

So, he couldn't help but paused, and then said: "The old lady loves his Wulang especially, and... is a bit snobbish. Brother Chang Ming and I are telling the truth. I will object, because Lu's background is somewhat against her taboo."

Although Qi Changge's biological mother, Aunt Lu, was innocent, she was redeemed by the Yang family before she was listed in the Jiaofang Division, but a woman, after all, has been reduced to that kind of place, how much can she be judged by the marks of people in this era? It's a taint, and the man's family is going to use it as a judgment, and there is a reason for others to care if they care.

"In this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Yu family?" Qi Huan confirmed.

Qi Wenjing said: "Brother Chang Ming didn't refuse me, he just said that the old lady had to give him time and told him to think of a way to see if he could make sense."

Qi Huan expressed her understanding: "This daughter understands. If the elders are against it, they can't completely disregard the wishes and feelings of the elders just because the younger generation gets married."

In particular, the Yu family father and son are also scholars, and they pay special attention to filial piety.

Qi Wenjing sighed.

Qi Huan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Actually, there are so many well-connected families in the capital, and it's easy to find someone whose family background and personality match the second sister's. We don't have to rely on him in Yongxing uncle's house." Qi Huan said, "Prince Ning's character can't be gambled, and the second sister's matter is now Maybe it’s really not suitable to procrastinate any longer, and we have to make a decision for her as soon as possible, so as to stop King Ning’s thoughts. Although it seems that Yu Jiawulang is still the most suitable, but now we can’t wait...you can visit Yongxing Bo tomorrow Just once."

Just when Xing Luo came in with the brewed tea, Qi Huan stopped talking.

After Qi Wenjing picked up the teacup and took a sip, he said, "I'll go see your mother later and ask her to help me figure out which other suitable and reliable families are available. Let's make two-handed preparations."

Qi Huan said: "The Yu family, father, please tell the truth, tell them that it is because King Ning fell in love with Changge, we can't wait, we must get married as soon as possible."

Yun Zheng's character is very unreliable.

Especially from the way he treated Ye Xunyi this time.

Ye Xunyi's previous work was indeed too crazy and unrestrained, which caused him to have deep grievances. This is normal, but now he still wants to continue to win over the Ye family's father and daughter. At this juncture, he still does not forget The old enemy took the opportunity to humiliate Ye Xunyi.

He treats people who are useful to him like Ye Xunyi in such a mean and vengeful way...

If other people provoked him, they would definitely incur his grudges.

Qi Wenjing showed doubts.

Qi Huan said the truth: "Prince Ning is a villain with virtue. Although Gu Shizi said that when His Majesty was here, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, but there is no guarantee that he won't hold grudges. We got involved in this matter... The second sister is from our own family. , we have no reason to shirk. Father, you and Uncle Yongxing are old friends, and we can't always hide our tricks. Let's say it clearly, whether it succeeds or not, at least change to be open and frank."

Especially, if Yu Huaijin is hiding it now and marrying Qi Changge without knowing it, Yun Zheng will really get revenge in the future...

Qi Changge can no longer be a human being in his house.

Now let's talk face to face--

It can even be used to test the sincerity and character of the other party.

In this world, women are weak, and marrying is just to rely on. If Yu Huaijin resigns when something happens, it proves that he is not someone who can be trusted, and it would be a pity to miss it.

Qi Huan didn't say this.

Although she didn't mean to insinuate Qi Wenjing, but in this respect, Qi Wenjing is indeed a negative example. As a husband and father, he is not reliable at all!
Since everyone wants to live as a family, Qi Huan doesn't want to stab him with this matter.

Qi Wenjing looked at his daughter's serious expression, and the way she analyzed the matter with reason and evidence, but he felt a sense of pride in our family having a young girl.

"Okay." He nodded reassuringly, "You are really considerate, just do as you said, and I will visit Yu's family tomorrow."

He just paused, showing hesitation again.

Qi Huan always felt that his hesitancy was not quite right, so he could only take the initiative to say: "Does father have any other concerns or unspeakable secrets?"

Qi Wenjing looked distressed: "Senior and young are in order, if Chang Ge's marriage is arranged before you..."

Qi Huan: ...

What a big deal!
"Father is worrying too much, I don't mind." Qi Huan was quite speechless, patiently enlightened him, and by the way gave him a vaccination that his daughter might spend a few more years in his hands, "Besides, I am not in good health, the doctor suggested It will be good for me to have a good child first and then talk about marriage, after all, after marrying into someone else's family, how can I have a better life at the knees of my own parents?"

This is true.

Throughout the ages, once a woman gets married, the burden on her shoulders is weighed down.

No matter what kind of family you marry, you don’t need to take care of common affairs, but at least you have to do things in your own house yourself, and the work of serving your husband and son-in-law cannot be done by others.

With Qi Huan's illness this time, Qi Wenjing was indeed very worried about her physical condition.

If you have a serious illness every time you catch a cold, how can you get it?

But he is most concerned at this time...

But not this!

Still hesitating for a while between expressions, he still took a deep breath, and asked Qi Huan face to face: "That Gu Zhan from Pingguo Duke's Mansion, I see him coming here often recently, what are your plans?"

Originally, the marriages of children followed the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. Qi Wenjing was the first in the whole capital to be so reserved and cautious when asking about his daughter's marriage.

Xing Luo felt embarrassed watching from the side.

Qi Huan smiled: "He is very nice, he is not picky about his family and character, and he is very considerate and meticulous to his daughter. Let me say this, father, don't think your daughter is frivolous. I... really have a good impression of him."

These things should not be said to outsiders.

Especially she and Qi Wenjing, although they bear the status of father and daughter, in fact, they are not familiar with each other.

Although Qi Huan was thick-skinned, he couldn't hide a shy blush as he spoke.

Qi Wenjing also frowned frequently when he heard this, and felt extremely uncomfortable, so he managed to remain calm and said: "Girls are no more than men, and reputation is the most important thing. The family of the Pingguo Duke's family is high, and I can't speak for you as a father. Affection, in fact... the marriage should be settled as soon as possible."

The main reason is that it is not easy to find a "taken advantage" like Gu Zhan.

It's purely arrogant to run into him!

Although Qi Wenjing didn't have any intention of climbing the dragon and becoming the phoenix, but such a big good thing happened to him, and there was no reason to push it out, but he was afraid that the shop would disappear after passing this village.

"Mother doesn't like generals very much, but as long as it's because of my health." Qi Huan didn't want to talk too much about his personal affairs with him, "I've made an agreement with Gu Shizi. The matter of the second sister is over."

Regarding the matter of Qi Huan and Gu Zhan, Qi Wenjing felt that he really couldn't intervene or help, so he had to give up.

Qi Huan got up and left.

Walking to the door, Xing Luo was about to open the door, but she suddenly pressed her palm.

She suddenly remembered something, so she turned around and asked Qi Wenjing seriously: "Father, I ran into a dispute between my grandfather and my second uncle on the way just now, and my grandfather was extremely opposed to sending Changge to Prince Ning's mansion. Based on what I know about my grandfather, He shouldn't be such a person. I also heard a little about the past in the family, and the grandfather kept it secret because of the aunt we died young, right? "

Qi Wenjing couldn't control his emotions, not only his eyebrows twitched violently, but also the hand holding the teacup trembled, and a few drops of tea soup spilled on his robe.

But his whole body seemed to have been emptied of his soul, and he froze there for a while, without any further reaction.

"Master, be careful it's hot." It was Xing Luo who ran over, took the teacup from his hand, and wiped the tea on his robe with a handkerchief.

Qi Wenjing blocked her hand in a panic, shook his robe and got up, and said to Qi Huan with a nervous expression, "What did you say in front of your grandfather?"

His reaction was beyond Qi Huan's expectations.

Qi Huan felt strange, but remained calm: "I was hiding in the dark and didn't show up. Grandpa didn't know I was there."

She simply expressed her doubts: "Father, although I haven't heard much about the old story of my aunt, is there something hidden in that story?"

Qi Wenjing's eyes flickered obviously, but he blurted out a little distractedly: "What's the secret?"

He is guilty!
Qi Huan said: "I heard people say that the king of Xin who was punished for his treason was very fond of his aunt, and then his aunt died of an emergency at the age of fourteen. But she is not proficient in riding and shooting, she is in good health Is she a lively person again? What kind of emergency would make her go in such a hurry? Especially... less than half a year after her sudden death, King Xin was punished for treason, but because he did not form this relationship , but let our family escape from disaster?"

Qi Wenjing is in his forties this year. Around the time of that incident thirty years ago, he was about twelve years old. Even though he was still half a child, it was not his turn to participate in and make decisions about major family affairs, but he should know and remember. something.

This conspiracy theory started to linger in Qi Huan's mind when he first heard Qi Wenjing and Qin Song mention his aunt.

Qi Zhengyu is not a timid person, if there were some major events that he will never forget, he would not be so taboo about an old event until now.

Qi Huan looked at Qi Wenjing's obviously flustered and fearful face, and tentatively said, "It's hard not to arouse suspicion when such a coincidence comes together, father, I dare to ask... that aunt was really sick and violent. Was it killed? Or was it sacrificed as an abandoned son in order to protect the interests of the family?"

She stared at Qi Wenjing without blinking, not letting go of any micro-movements and changes in micro-expressions of his body.

Xing Luo next to him was so frightened that he completely held his breath.

Qi Wenjing clenched his teeth, and the muscles around his cheeks twitched uncontrollably.

He squeezed his fists under the official uniform with wide sleeves, the veins on his forehead bulged, his eyes were restrained, panicked, and there were more complex emotions that Qi Huan could not decipher for the time being.

So, without waiting for him to admit it, Qi Huan understood.

She came to the conclusion: "She was killed, right? Because my grandfather chose the wrong path at first, and later found out that King Xin had a treasonous heart, and when he was on the verge of riding a tiger, he killed his only biological sister and grabbed it at the last moment." A chance to rein in the precipice?"

It's not that she wants to maliciously speculate about Qi Zhengyu's character, but because——

Qi Zhengyu, he is that kind of person himself!
