A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 215 The Uninvited Guest

On the side of Uncle Yongxing's mansion, the newly married couple are very harmonious.

Because of the strict etiquette of the big family, the couple got up early in the morning to prepare.

While the maid came in to wash and wash, the mother sent by Mrs. Yongxing also entered the house.

Since there are only two sons born in the family, Yu Huaijin is also valued and liked by Mrs. Yongxing, and the people around her are naturally very flattering and polite to the fifth son in the family.

The old woman had a smile on her face, and she still congratulated the young couple when she entered the door, and then greeted the young couple and said: "Madam ordered the servant to come over and pass on a message. The old lady tidies up slowly in the morning, so I don't gather at breakfast. If they are used together, the young master and young madam can have breakfast first before going to the living room."

Yu Huaijin took the handkerchief Qi Changge handed to him and wiped his hands: "Got it."

The other two maidservants who followed her took away the yuan handkerchief on the bed, and the three of them gave another salute before leaving.

As a new wife, Qi Changge's mind is naturally disturbed and sensitive.

These people looked respectful and polite, but she could tell that they were more concerned about Yu Huaijin's face.

Yu Huaijin probably sensed her uneasiness, turned around and squeezed her fingertips, and blinked with a smile: "Grandmother is actually getting old, she has been tired lately, she wakes up early in the morning, and her energy is low, she always likes to take a nap during breakfast Son. Mother is embarrassed to expose her mother-in-law's shortcomings in front of us as juniors, it's okay, we will go there after eating."

This explanation immediately shortened the distance a lot.

Qi Changge pursed his lips and smiled.

The two of them briefly washed up.

Because only the young couple had breakfast in the room, there was no grand attire for the time being. After eating, Qi Changge called his dowry maid to come in.

Originally, he wanted to help Yu Huaijin dress himself, but was stopped by Yu Huaijin: "You do your work first, I can clean up here quickly, I can do it myself."

"It's not too late." Qi Changge refused with a smile, and changed his clothes and put on the outer robe himself.

When she took the belt, she didn't use the maid to prepare it in advance, but went to find another one in her own cage temporarily piled up in the corner.

A brand-new belt with a light-colored emerald bamboo pattern, and inlaid with a piece of emerald jade for decoration.

Qi Changge was a little embarrassed, his brows and eyes were lowered the whole time.

Yu Huaijin was overjoyed and grabbed her hand: "You made it for me?"

"The time is too short, I only have time to do this." Qi Changge still put his head down, and tied his belt for him, "I will do other things later."

In fact, when a noble daughter from a wealthy family gets married, she needs to be a little more particular. She not only needs to prepare her husband’s clothes, shoes and socks, but also her parents-in-law’s bedding and clothes.

Of course, these are basically done by asking others to help. The newlyweds will do it by themselves, which is about sewing two daily clothes worn by the husband and son-in-law.

Qi Changge's marriage was decided hastily, and she didn't have that much time and thought to prepare.

That was those few days when I was distracted and spent time doing embroidery, so I improvised and hurriedly made a belt.

It's not something so delicate and precious, but the young couple are newlyweds, the most important thing is these details and thoughts.

Yu Huaijin smiled so much that her eyes rolled up, and she took advantage of the opportunity to embrace her wife: "For this kind of thing, just make it once or twice to find something interesting, and leave the rest to the servants."

The two spent a lot of time in the house.

Yu Huaijin sent her servants to watch in the front yard in advance, seeing that there was movement in the old lady's side, she hurried back to report the news, the husband and wife also packed up, and took them to the hall together.

Firstly, tea was offered to Uncle Yongxing, his wife and Mrs. Yu's family.

Uncle Yongxing and his wife had smiles all over their faces, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could always see the consoling smiles of Lao Huai who married his daughter-in-law.

It's just that the old lady is a little too serious.

However, she didn't say anything, let alone do anything, and she was even very thoughtful...

According to the rules, after the granddaughter-in-law offered tea, she also gave a decent meeting gift.

At this moment, there are a bunch of people in the living room, all of them are from the same family living in this house, and Yu Huaijin led his wife to introduce them one by one, asking her to recognize the people.

Qi Changge got Xi Niang's detailed advice in advance, and got to know the population of her husband's family properly. After seeing that she had prepared a meeting gift, he ordered them one by one. Mrs. Yongxing's face was full of tears The smile became more and more real.

In the afternoon, there was another group of relatives in the family that needed to be identified, and the family in the hall broke up after meeting each other.

Yu Huaijin's eldest brother is more than ten years older than him, and his eldest daughter is now twelve.

A girl who was born on the same day is always favored in the family. After Yu Huaijin led Qi Changge to introduce them to the two, the little girl suddenly smiled and pointed at Yu Huaijin's belt and said: "Uncle Wu, the pattern embroidered on your belt is similar to that of Yu Huaijin. The ones used in the past are not the same, is it the new aunt’s handicraft?”

Qi Changge blushed.

Yu Huaijin flicked her forehead and said with a smile, "You are the only one who talks too much."

The little girl smiled and lay in her mother's arms.

The elder sister-in-law of the Yu family just smiled and smoothed things over: "The bamboo is safe, and the fifth younger brother reads well, and the younger brother and sister are careful."

Her own husband-in-law and Yu Huaijin are both descendants. Although the relationship between the brothers is not bad, how can they be defenseless against each other because they are so close to each other?

Now the new sister-in-law only embroidered a pattern of "Bamboo Reporting Peace", not something ambitious like a symbol of prosperity and wealth...

The great grandmother of the Yu family was inexplicably relieved.

As long as Yu Huaijin's daughter-in-law is not a monster, she will be able to avoid a lot of trouble.

After being made such a fuss by the little girl, the atmosphere in the hall became much more lively.

After everyone dispersed, Mrs. Yu was helped back to the backyard, and the confidant woman next to him took the initiative to say: "Your new granddaughter-in-law, although your appearance is a bit eye-catching, but the Changning Marquis Mansion is always so beautiful. A respectable family with a scholarly fragrance handed down from generation to generation, the rules of this family are all there, this young lady... this old slave does not look like those frivolous and ignorant."

The old lady leaned on the pillow, her brows were full of exhaustion and weariness, and she couldn't see any real joy or anger, so she just sighed and said: "He is married, what is he talking about now?" I don’t expect anything from her anyway, just keep to myself. How many more years can I live? I can’t control the affairs of their young people if I want to.”

From the very beginning, she was dissatisfied with Qi Changge from the bottom of her heart. This is an inborn prejudice, and it is difficult to change easily.

However, the mistress of the house in a large family will not make a fuss because of a little personal emotion, regardless of her status, to trip up a junior and deliberately embarrass her.

Now that they are already a family, they naturally have to look in a good direction.

Home and everything is going well!
Of course, if the new granddaughter-in-law doesn't know what is good or bad, and jumps out to stir things up or be a monster, that's another matter.

The mother-in-law also sat down on the edge of the kang and beat her legs: "Yesterday our five sons got married, and the eldest son of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion came to our house for a drink, and then he left with the Qi family in public. Although I don't know why the two of them haven't engaged in marriage for a long time, but looking at this matter, it should be stable. Looking back, when the Gu and Qi families get married, our fifth son and the eldest son of the Gu family will be brothers-in-law. Our five young masters are the most upstanding in the family... You are willing to let go of this marriage in the end, isn't it because of this important relationship?"

Mrs. Yu's always serious face finally showed a little smile, and she glared at her old servant for many years with feigned anger: "You old man, you are about to grow old, so I just think about it. They were all watched by you."

If she was against Yu Huaijin's marriage, it would not be possible.

But in a person's life, any choice is made in the midst of constant weighing of pros and cons.

Yu Huaijin is her most beloved grandson, she naturally hopes that this grandson will get the best in everything.

The situation in her own family is just like this. Originally, she didn't like Qi Changge, and she hoped that her grandson could choose a grandson-in-law who could help him, but now she has turned a corner...

With help, the daughter-in-law he married is still what he really likes. In fact, the old lady is not dissatisfied.

But the bottom line is that-

All the premise must be that Qi Changge must be safe and not be a monster!

On the Pingguo Mansion's side, Gu Zhan suffered from insomnia after returning home last night.

Being teased too much by Qi Huan, he tossed and turned on the bed for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he got up at dawn and punched a set. When he was exhausted, he took a cold shower and went back to the room to lie down before falling asleep.

When he woke up, it was already noon, so he didn't run to Qi's house that day.

After a brief lunch, it suddenly occurred to him that he hadn't seen Yun Cheng for a few days. It was rare for him to have the kindness and sense of responsibility of an elder, so he went to the military camp outside the city.

At that time, there happened to be a conflict between the villagers of the two villages below, and a large-scale fighting broke out.

The local subordinate officer and the lieutenant general in the army have some friendship, so they urgently begged to come over.

Yun Cheng was restless, so he immediately volunteered to go there.

Gu Zhan didn't have anything serious to do recently, he was embarrassed to eat the court's leisure at home all the time, so he went with her.

It was not a big deal. It turned out that two relatively wealthy families in two villages wanted to get married. On the day of the wedding, the groom-to-be abducted his nurse's daughter and escaped from marriage. The faces of both families were swollen. I didn't care about eating, and mobilized all the relatives and friends who came to the banquet to chase after him.

After searching all night, he was arrested the next morning, but it was a little unlucky that he was caught first by the bride-to-be.

According to the intention of the man's family, the two were brought back, and the girl who hooked up with the master was dealt with. The dog is a man, broke a leg of the man, threw him back to the man's house, returned all the betrothal gifts, and wanted to make peace with him.

When the man saw his son was injured, he became angry when he guarded the calf. He withheld the dowry that the woman had carried over the door and refused to return it.

In this kind of village, almost all the people in the village are closely related, so the situation has evolved into a big fight between two villages with almost all their nests and hundreds of people fighting each other.

Gu Zhan and Yun Cheng didn't expect the incident to be so serious at first, they just ordered more than a hundred people symbolically and went.

After all this tossing, it was not until nightfall that the armed struggle was completely suppressed. All the main criminals were kidnapped and closed the Yamen, and the others stopped.

By the time he returned to the Duke's Mansion in the capital covered in sweat, it was already past the first watch.

Jiang Xuan gave him a change of clothes and waited for him to come out of the shower.

In the middle of the night, Gu Zhan didn't even bother to tidy himself up, so he just put on a robe and came out of the clean room wet, just to see Jiang Xuan standing in the yard with his head down and snapping his fingers.

While wiping his hair, he called out to the other party: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xuan immediately regained his attention, entered the room again, and said carefully: "Master, there is something I don't know if it's a little careless, didn't you send the little one to check Miss Qi's uncle's house and that right-hand man?" Is it an old grievance from the Imperial Historian? The young one heard the news today when the Ministry of Officials checked the old records of the old uncle of the Yang family who was an official. The adult who was in charge of the warehouse said that it was not long ago... the middle of last month At the time, Dali Temple Shaoqing Master Qi once went to retrieve the files and records of a group of old officials, and by coincidence, the uncle of the Yang family was among them."

Gu Zhan frowned slightly: "You mean that the third master of the Qi family went to read Uncle Qi Huan's file on purpose last month?"

"At that time, he took a lot of them away, and the small ones were just guesses." Jiang Xuan said truthfully, "The people in the warehouse of the official department said that he borrowed two large boxes at that time, and returned them in half a day. Is it a cover-up?"

Gu Zhan tapped his fingers on the table, and after pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes and asked him, "Where's the thing I asked you to copy?"

"Yes." Jiang Xuan hurriedly took out two files from his sleeve.

One is from Yang Yuting and the other is from Yang Chenglian.

Yang Chenglian has been ups and downs in the officialdom for forty years, and the resume file is spread out, recording densely packed pages.

In contrast, Yang Yuting died young, leaving only a few records.

This night, Gu Zhan didn't sleep well again, and spent half the night pondering over these two dossiers that had nothing to do with each other.

The next day, Qi Huan got up as usual, washed and changed, and went to Yang's for breakfast.

After eating and playing with Qi Yuanchen for a while, the concierge came to report that the second young lady and the second uncle had returned to their residence.

Qi Zhengyu really likes this grandson-in-law, and today he deliberately asked for leave to stay at home, just to show that he attaches great importance to Qi Changge's homecoming banquet.

In this way, it was not easy for Yang to call the young couple to Qixia Garden directly, but everyone moved to the front hall to talk.

When the newcomer returns home, this trip is mainly to come to the bride's natal family to recognize relatives, so this day Yang also invited all the more important relatives of the Qi family in Beijing.

Everyone in the hall was chatting and laughing, and it was bustling, when the young man at the porter led another person in——

It's Qi Wenyan!

Qi Huan was a little surprised.

Her third uncle, who had already condescended on the day of the wedding, came back to join in the show, and now he even came back for a homecoming banquet?
She subconsciously aimed at Qi Wenang and his wife from the corner of her eye.

Sure enough, the expressions of the couple couldn't help but slightly changed.

But what-

The face was the most ugly, and it was Qi Zhengyu, the old master who was the head of the family.

As soon as Qi Wenyan came back, he naturally became the focus of the whole family, and the whole family surrounded him to compliment him.

The old man couldn't hold back his face, he excused himself by saying that he was tired, and he wanted to go back and rest for a while, so he left first.

Seeing his deflated appearance, Qi Huan suddenly felt quite happy, so he pursed his lips and snickered.

Qi Changge touched her with his elbow from the side, signaling her to restrain herself.

Yuan Shi, who was sitting with them, was a little dazed, and felt a little embarrassed for a while.

Qi Huan hurriedly took a plate of lychees and put them in front of her: "Sister-in-law, eat this, it's so sweet."

Qi Huan didn't have any ill intentions towards Yuan Shi, she had no right to intervene and was too lazy to care about the affairs between Yuan Shi and Qi Yuanxu, since they didn't live together anyway, there was no need to take each other too seriously.

especially--

Qi Yuanxu was quite honest after marriage, and when he was not needed, he would never take the initiative to come to the house to make trouble.

And when the family holds a banquet and asks their husband and wife to come back, it is assumed that they did it, and they will do it in a proper manner, especially Yuan Shi, who has no great skills, but every time at this time, he will try his best to beat Yang Shi .

She wasn't a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the first place, so she was already pretty good at this.

So Qi Huan thought, it's actually pretty good for two people with no ambitions to get together and live a peaceful life together.

If you don't compare yourself with others, don't think about things that don't belong to you, your life will be relatively smooth and smooth.

Yuan Shi didn't sit with them for too long, seeing that the time was almost up, she got up and went to the kitchen to help take care of the luncheon.

Before the luncheon was about to start, the old couple Qi Zhengyu also appeared again.

Everyone was about to get up and go to the table when the concierge came to report again, and another uninvited guest came to the door——

Gu Zhan!
