A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 218 Madam's Hands Are So Skillful!

In the name of Gao Yunmiao, the post inviting Qi Huan to travel with him was handed over to Mrs. Yang that afternoon.

"Miss Gao's cousin sent it." Lady Yun said.

If it was sent by someone else, Yang might just ignore it and ask Qi Huan to send it over.

"That's strange. Aren't these two children not dealing with each other?" Mrs. Yang put down the pen in her hand and looked up.

Lady Yun smiled and showed the post to her: "Who says it's not? Besides, it's the season, and it doesn't look like it will be cloudy tomorrow. The post says it's an outing."

The post must be a post from the Gao family, and there must be no problem with the content.

After taking a look, Yang couldn't help but throw it back to Lady Yun.

Seeing her expression, Lady Yun understood: "The servant was sent there."

"Give it to her." Yang picked up the pen, and continued to settle the accounts while pulling the abacus beads with one hand.

Lady Yun handed the post to Guiyue who was on the porch outside the door, and asked her to send it to Qi Huan.

Waiting to come back, seeing that the ink in the inkstone was about to dry, he rolled up his sleeves and began to grind the ink for Mrs. Yang.

There was no one else in the room, so the master and servant started chatting.

Lady Yun said: "The sons of the Gu family are more or less measured. The slaves mentioned a few words in the morning and made him feel embarrassed. But these young men and women inevitably have more lively tempers. Let's miss you If you are willful, you are lawless, and you should beat them."

"Who says it's not? That dead girl sometimes really gives me a headache, so it's not as easy as brother Chen." When mentioning her worry-free daughter, Yang couldn't help but sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, let her go this time, with Sister Miao and the others here, I won't be able to do anything wrong with me."

The post was sent to Qi Huan, and Qi Huan was surprised and immediately figured it out——

Gao Yunmiao would not deliberately invite her out to play, this is probably Gu Zhanshi's devious tactic.

She is still worrying about it today. Don't overdo it, Mrs. Yang. She must strictly guard against it in the future and forbid her from contacting Gu Zhan in private.

Now the post was sent after Yang's hand, knowing that it was Yang's tacit consent to her going out, she immediately lost her doubts, and it was rare that she was in a good mood, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to match her clothes and jewelry.

Yun Xi looked at it strangely, blinked and asked: "Miss, when you usually go out, don't you always say that you can just dress casually? What are you doing today?"

Qi Huan casually said: "It's boring to be idle."

Yun Xi wanted to talk again, but Xing Luo took her away.

Then, Qi Huan locked himself in the room enjoying himself, tinkering with clothes and jewelry all afternoon, and before going to bed at night, he even asked Xing Luo to wake her up half an hour earlier the next day.

Xing Luo is a good girl who is dedicated to her duties, and before dawn the next day, she dug her out of the bed as she said.

Qi Huan resisted the anger of getting up, washed and changed his clothes with his eyes half closed.

After she tidied everything up and raised her eyes to look outside again, it was almost dawn.

Yesterday, the servant of the Gao family who sent the post said that today his son and young lady will come to pick up the two sisters of the Qi family.

Well, this time they invited not only Qi Huan, but also Qi Xin.

Qi Huan packed up and was about to go out.

Xing Luo couldn't figure out what she wanted: "It's still early, and the racecourse in the suburbs belongs to the British government. It's our first time going there. Even if Uncle Jing can find the place, and the guards at the government's government don't know us, we'll go in." Not going."

Yun Xi was more direct, and asked on the spot: "Miss, don't you want to go with Miss San?"

Qi Huan then poked her on the forehead with his finger: "The post is from the Gao family, and I am a guest myself, what a big face, how can I stop others from inviting others?"

The reason why she didn't want to bring Qi Xin when she went back to Prince Ning's Mansion was because she knew that it would be a grand banquet, especially unfriendly to her family.

This time, whether it was arranged by Gu Zhan or created by the brothers and sisters of the Gao family, there must be no malicious intentions.

It's just going out to play normally, so she won't be too narrow-minded to worry about it, and she still has to make such an awkward fight with Qi Xin.

Yun Xi obviously misunderstood: "But the lady and the young master should have just gotten up at this hour, and we won't be able to eat now that we've passed by."

Qi Huan had no choice but to tell the truth: "Second Sister and the others are going to leave Beijing today? They are going south, and we just went out of the city today and walked through the south gate. Maybe I can make it in time to see her off."

It's not that the relationship between her and Qi Changge is so deep, it's just thinking about it——

The couple set off from the Yu family today, and the people who saw them off were all relatives and elders of the Yu family. Qi Changge, who had just married, was basically equivalent to an outsider, so he went on a long trip to Beijing in this atmosphere...

It's also pitiful and sad.

She led the two girls towards the front yard.

This time, even Xing Luo couldn't help complaining: "You always say that Madam is too lenient to Aunt Lu and the Second Miss, so that you are miserable, and you are not much better. I even got up early in the morning to see people off."

Qi Huan laughed, not as knowledgeable as the two little girls, and only half-truthfully sighed: "What I criticize is the system where men enjoy equal blessings and taking concubines is reasonable and legal, so I feel aggrieved for my mother." It’s not fair. But from another perspective, Aunt Lu didn’t volunteer to be a concubine, nor did she choose Changge’s status as a concubine... Why do women make things difficult for women!”

Yun Xi's brain is not strong enough, and he half understands the words, and he hasn't quite understood them for the time being.

Xing Luo understood, but fell silent thoughtfully.

Except for those who just want to take shortcuts, as women, few are born willing to be concubines, just like if there is a choice, she will definitely choose to be a young lady instead of a servant girl. .

Of course, it has to be open-minded people like Yang Shi and Qi Huan to deal with these things soberly and rationally.

if not--

How many women can accidentally be jealous and serious?
Going to the gate, Qi Huan waited for Lao Jing to set up the car, and at the same time told Xing Luo: "I will take Yunxi and go first, and you will wait at home for Cousin Gao and the others, explain the situation to them, and then follow They went to meet me outside the south city gate together."

"Okay." Xing Luo agreed, and didn't go back to the backyard, and simply waited at the porter's place.

Lao Jing drove, and Qi Huan followed him to the south gate.

The Qi family lives in the east of the city, not too far from the south gate.

At this time, the city gate had just opened.

Not many people left the city, but there were quite a few people from nearby villages rushing into the city early in the morning to sell freshly picked fruits and vegetables.

The area around the city gate was already crowded with people, and it was very lively.

The team of Qi Changge and his wife leaving Beijing must have at least a small convoy, which will be easy to identify.

Qi Huan sent Lao Jing to inquire with the soldiers guarding the city to make sure they hadn't left the city yet, so Qi Huan was in no hurry, shook his skirt and took Yun Xi to jump out of the carriage: "Let's go, let's have breakfast nearby. "

Even though Qi Huan is dressed as a wealthy Hou family daughter, he still has the habit of eating roadside stalls.

For no other reason-

The food in the big restaurant is exquisite and delicious, but if you pay too much attention to craftsmanship, it will become more ingenious, and it is not as good as the food at the roadside stalls.

It's just an ordinary breakfast, and what you eat is a hot and comfortable feeling.

Qi Huan called Lao Jing and the guards who followed the car, and walked to a stall selling wonton biscuits set up on the side of the road.

A long-established brand for many years, the tables and benches are all pitch-black.

Yun Xi just took out the handkerchief to spread on the bench for Qi Huan, but a big hand stretched out from the sideways, and first helped Qi Huan who was feeling troublesome and was pulling the hem of the skirt with one hand.

His hands are a little strong, obviously not Yun Xi.

Qi Huan hurriedly looked sideways, and found that what fell on his arm was a man's hand with long and beautiful fingers.

Seems like ever.acquaintance.

She followed the hand again and looked up at its owner.

into the eyes -

Sure enough, it was Gu Zhan's faint smile.

Qi Huan subconsciously looked around, unavoidably surprised: "Why are you here?"

Gu Zhan saw that Yunxi had already spread the handkerchief for her, so he helped her to sit down first, took out his own handkerchief to wipe the chopsticks, and said in a casual tone: "I came here on purpose to meet Miss Qi by chance, but look at the girl His expression...doesn't seem to be happy?"

Qi Huan: ...

You reload!
Seeing them sitting down, the owner of the wonton stall immediately came over to solicit business: "What do you want to eat, sir?"

Gu Zhan said with a smile: "Obviously it's for your wontons. Get more sesame seed cakes, so that those who work hard will be full."

Qi Huan didn't eat much for breakfast, he knew that.

"Okay!" The stall owner promised, and went back to the pot to cook wontons.

Gu Zhan's gaze returned to Qi Huan's face again, and then he said with a solemn and hesitant expression: "I went to your house yesterday, but was stopped by Mrs. Shizi."

Looking at his expression, Qi Huan had the illusion that he was a high school student who was caught in a puppy love.

Although at Gu Zhan's age, he was at best a freshman in the era before her, but after all, his status here is shining, he is the kind of person who can already go to court and go through the battlefield with ease.

With his present expression of being so worried and aggrieved that he is almost useless...

Qi Huan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "So you guessed that I might come over to see my second sister off today, so you came to meet me by chance?"

In fact, Gu Zhan wasn't sure that she would definitely come over to see Qi Changge off, but he just got up early thinking that he would have nothing to do anyway, so he came here to try his luck.

Seeing her gloating smile, Gu Zhan was really depressed and helpless.

He was very worried that the Yang family would stop him from seeing Qi Huan at any time in the future, but they stopped him...

He seemed to have nothing to say!

And all of this is all due to this girl who thinks about it, if she didn't instigate and seduce him, he wouldn't have done such an outrageous thing!
It's okay for him to see Qi Huan now, anyway, she's shameless...

Gu Zhan even thought of seeing Yang Shi in the future, and his scalp began to tingle.

Seeing that his expression was not good, Qi Huan could probably guess what he was thinking at this time, and even made it worse to deliberately tease him.

She hooked her fingers, signaling to whisper.

Gu Zhan poked his head over suspiciously, and listened to her confident instigation in front of him: "Aren't you a stickler, won't you climb over the wall if she won't let you in?"

Gu Zhan's expression froze, and his whole body exploded in an instant, so Hao Xuan didn't make a fuss on the spot.

He said in a deep voice, "Who do you take me for?"

Qi Huan retorted: "It's not like you haven't turned over!"

Gu Zhan: ...

Seeing that he was choking again, Qi Huan laughed and lay down on the table with a smile, regardless of the dirty table.

Recently, she found that teasing Gu Zhan is a very contrasting and cute thing——

He obviously couldn't help teasing at all, but he was still constrained by his status, so he wanted to put on a young and mature appearance, and he was so embarrassed that he blushed every time.

After seeing Gu Zhan coming over, Yun Xi also sat at Lao Jing's table, so no one knew what the two of them were whispering.

Seeing Qi Huan laughing happily and Yun Xi looking back frequently with a pure face, she saw Gu Shizi sitting upright with a stern face, and her young lady was drinking like crazy, with a suspicious blush on the tips of her ears.

Just when Qi Huan was laughing so hard that he couldn't help rolling on the table, another group of horses and horses came from the direction of the inner city behind him.

It wasn't Yu Huaijin and Qi Changge, but Gao Yunze and Gao Yunmiao and Qi Xin.

They should have walked in a hurry, and they seemed to be in a hurry.

Seeing Qi Huan and Gu Zhan from a distance, they also got off the car and got off the horse, and a group of people also came over.

"Yes! If I knew Gu Zhan was here, I wouldn't have to rush after you." Gao Yunze walked ahead with long legs, sat on the stool opposite Qi Huan, and reached out to get chopsticks from the chopstick holder .

Gu Zhan was a little upset that he came to disrupt the situation, and his face turned cold for a moment.

Gao Yunze pretended not to see it.

Facing him, Qi Huan restrained himself somewhat and asked him, "Didn't you guys have breakfast?"

It happened that the stall owner came over and delivered two bowls of wontons and a small bamboo basket of four biscuits. Gao Yunze didn't have the nerve to snatch it from Qi Huan, so he snatched Gu Zhan's wontons, grabbed another biscuit and was the first to eat it.

As he entered the mouth of the steaming wonton, he breathed out happily, before mumbled: "I went riding and shooting yesterday, and I was exhausted. I got up late..."

As he spoke, he pointed to Gao Yunmiao and the two who were slowly walking over and said, "She was dawdling by herself, looking for clothes and jewelry for a long time."

Gao Yunmiao and Qi Xin walked together.

Gao Yunmiao's unhappiness was written directly on his face, his brows were frowned, and he looked disgusted with the environment here.

The expression on Qi Xin's face was quite peaceful and normal, but obviously, she was also extremely uncomfortable with this environment, which could be seen in her micro-expression.

Gao Yunze greeted them: "Come on, just deal with it here, there shouldn't be any decent cooks at the racecourse."

Gao Yunmiao said disgustedly: "If you want to eat, can't you change to another restaurant, go to the restaurant next to it? What does it look like to eat and drink on the street?"

If it was only her elder brother, she would definitely lose her temper and pull him away by force.

But with Gu Zhan here, she had no choice but to restrain herself, and sat down while talking.

Qi Xin naturally wanted to do as the Romans did, and sat on the same bench as her.

Qi Huan waited for them to sit down before turning his head and calling the stall owner: "Stand owner, count our newcomers, they are all eating you up. Then add three more bowls of wontons and a few more to this table. Biscuits."

She first pushed the bowl in hand to Gu Zhan, and waited to be with the two girls.

Gu Zhan did not give in to her, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he gave her a share of the two pairs of chopsticks and two porcelain spoons that he had specially wiped.

Gao Yunmiao, who was opposite him, was only concerned about the environment of the wonton stall, and had no time to care about the flirting between the two people in front of him.

Qi Xin noticed.

The face is calm, but everyone is a little girl of about the same age, it's not that she has any unreasonable thoughts about Gu Zhan, but it's inevitable that she will feel jealous and sour in her heart.

At this time, there were a lot of customers who were eating, and the wontons were served in a big pot, that is to say, there were only three more bowls here. The stall owner agreed and delivered them quickly.

Gao Yunze is the son of a military commander. Although he has a good family background, he was trained to adapt to various harsh environments since he was a child. After all, he will inherit the family business and his father's mantle in the future. It is impossible for such a boy to be pampered completely, so A bowl of wontons from a roadside stall was gobbled up by him, and he ate it like a peerless delicacy.

When the wontons were brought up, Qi Huan tasted one with a spoon.

The meat filling is not very plump, but the wonton skin is thin and slippery. The broth used is sprinkled with a small handful of fresh shrimp skins, which is fresh and refreshing.

Gao Yunmiao saw that the three of them were eating with gusto, and he was indeed hungry, so he reluctantly picked up chopsticks to eat.

After taking a few bites, I felt that the taste was really good, and my frowning brows slowly relaxed.

Qi Xin didn't eat in the morning, but came out after hastily eating a few pieces of pastries.

It must be that she really can't adapt to the cramped and noisy environment where a group of people are crowded together. She always feels nauseous looking at the things in the bowl, and she can't even whet her appetite.

But the other four ate very well, and she couldn't show it, so she endured it and ate a few mouthfuls slowly.

The two big men, Gu Zhan and Gao Yunze, ate quickly, and put down their chopsticks when they were full.

Gao Yunze snarled at Gu Zhan, "Please!"

Qi Huan remembered that when he first met Gu Zhan, he took his subordinates out to eat without any money, so he quickly put down his chopsticks and found her small purse from his purse: "I'll come, I'll come... stall owner, pay the bill!"

It was a surprise that Gu Zhan learned a lot from the pitfalls. He brought money today, and he also took the money bag out of his pocket.

The stall owner trotted over to collect the bill.

Qi Huan froze while holding the small purse in his hand.

A table of people, including the stall owner, six pairs of eyes, including Qi Huan himself, stared at the almost identical simple purse in her and Gu Zhan's hands and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Gu Zhan didn't know whether he was really calm or pretending to be calm, but he still took out a dime of silver and settled the wonton money for the three tables: "You don't need to look for it."

The stall owner got almost double the reward, so he was naturally elated, and then he exchanged gifts, and immediately complimented him, with a thumbs up, and solemnly boasted: "Thank you, son, your wife's hand is really clever."

Qi Huan is numb!
I am ordinary, a small ragged money bag with rough needlework, can you be more blind when you open your eyes and talk nonsense? !
