A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 227 Afraid of him!

Qi Huan pulled Gu Zhan, and the two ran wildly all the way, straight out of the gate of Qi Mansion.

Qi Huan was sweating profusely from running, holding the stone lion at the door until he was out of breath.

Gu Zhan was doing everything as usual, and thoughtfully took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

Qi Huan thought he was clumsy, so he snatched the handkerchief, wiped his face carelessly, turned around and leaned against the other side of the stone lion, still panting heavily.

She glanced at Gu Zhan resentfully: "I'm afraid he'll forget it, why are you so cowardly? And...he's not your third uncle, why are you yelling?"

Gu Zhan's expression was indifferent, and his tone was serious.

He said: "Didn't I help you out? You've already said the truth. If I don't have the sense to bring this generation back, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape."

Qi Huan: ...

What he said seemed quite reasonable.

The two stood at the gate looking at each other.

It was almost noon now, and all the guests who were supposed to come had arrived, but the gate became quiet.

Gu Zhan patted her head, seeing her expression like a survivor, felt amused in his heart, and couldn't help teasing: "Even Marquis Chang Ning can't restrain you, he's just your third uncle, are you really so afraid of him? "

Qi Huan was stopped by him.

She thought for a moment, then nodded truthfully: "Don't tell me, I'm really afraid of him."

This is a very strange and subtle feeling, is it the deepest instinct of a person's soul to avoid danger?
Although Qi Wenyan was cold and unkind, strictly counting, Qi Huan, and even the rest of the Qi family, had not actually been specifically attacked or hurt by him.

Can--

From the bottom of his heart, Qi Huan feared him for no reason, even feared him.

She didn't need any clues or signs to warn her of the danger, she knew from the bottom of her soul that this person must not be messed with.

A person like Qi Zhengyu is bad, so bad that he is blatant and has no bottom line, and people can gradually see all kinds of despicableness and darkness deep in his bones.

But Qi Wenyan was something that people couldn't touch or see through.

His arrogance and indifference gave people a strong sense of oppression and a great sense of crisis.

Especially on that rainy day, when Qi Zhengyu forced Qi Wenjing to pour dirty water on him, Qi Huan saw him standing in the middle of the rain curtain. In the dark and torrential cold rain, just waiting to suddenly drag everyone into the quagmire of the dark night, never to be reborn.

No matter how despicable Qi Zhengyu is, he is just a mortal who is entangled by worldly desires.

And Qi Wenyan——

But he seems to have become a god or demon higher than this earthly world.

He usually doesn't count, just because he doesn't care. Although Qi Huan has never conflicted with him, she just has a very clear feeling that once Qi Wenyan loses control and gets angry with someone or something, it must be beyond Qi Zhengyu's ability. The level of storm that was set off made people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

In her two lifetimes, she only met Qi Wenyan, a person who would make her dread and fear in her soul from the first time she met.

This feeling--

Even during the period when Qin Song was convulsed and badly targeted her, she never had it.

In short, this feeling is very subtle, so subtle that she can't even explain it clearly to Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan rubbed her head. She didn't resist, but raised her eyebrows at him: "Hey, what should I do now? I don't dare to go back to eat at the same table with him today anyway."

"What else can I do?" Gu Zhan sighed and smiled helplessly, "Then I can only take you to another place to eat."

As he spoke, he took Qi Huan's hand.

Qi Huan followed him obediently.

Gu Zhan looked at her sideways again: "I didn't get a single meal, so today I gave this gift away for nothing."

Qi Huan didn't ask him what gift he gave today, but he knew that the gift must be of great value.

think about—

It is indeed a loss.

The two got on their horses and left.

Qi Wenyan's house is not far from Huiyunlou, the house where Gu Zhan often ordered food boxes, so Gu Zhan took Qi Huan there directly.

As soon as they left here, Yun Cheng was seen walking out quickly from inside the gate of Gu's house.

She didn't look sideways, and was about to go out, but before stepping out of the door, she saw Qi Wenyan who was standing at the porter and was explaining something to his servants.

The two were no more than acquaintances with nodding, so she paused and nodded slightly, as a greeting.

"Gu Xuanxuan." Not wanting to, Qi Wenyan suddenly stopped her.

Yun Cheng stopped and turned around, and gave him a questioning look.

Qi Wenyan came forward and stood still in front of her: "I thought you didn't live here."

"I didn't often live in the city." Yun Cheng said.

She didn't know Qi Wenyan very well, so she didn't want to tell him too much about her personal affairs.

It's just that in her perception, the man in front of her is a taciturn and sensitive person, so in order not to be cold-hearted, she glanced at the cars and horses parked outside the door, and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "You have a banquet today ?”

"Housewarming banquet." Qi Wenyan said.

After a slight pause, he asked again: "When do you plan to put it here?"

"Ah?" Yun Cheng didn't plan to do this at all, he was taken aback by his question, and said truthfully, "I didn't plan to show it off."

It's just a change of place to stay, and it's not a formal opening of the government, she really didn't take it seriously.

But when the words come to the mouth——

Look at Qi Wenyan's serious housewarming here...

The two of them changed houses of the same size and ostentation, and the other party held a housewarming party happily, but she dismissed it and said that it was just a shabby house, and I had no intention of celebrating...

If he really said this, he would have to stab the fragile self-esteem of the man in front of him again.

Therefore, she quickly changed her words and said, "I don't have many relatives worth inviting in the capital."

This is the truth!

The royal family has a thriving population, and she has a lot of relatives, but there are very few who are really worthy of invitation.

"What about my colleagues?" Qi Wenyan asked again as she was wearing a soft armor in the army, and she had a badge for entering and exiting the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Yun Cheng casually said, "They don't pay too much attention, just pick a day and invite them to have a drink."

Originally speaking, this man should have a little bit of discernment, and he should take the initiative to walk away.

But Qi Wenyan still stood in front of her, with a hesitant expression on his face.

Yun Cheng was originally a very smart and quick-witted girl, no matter how slow her reaction was, she could sense the other party's determination.

She raised her eyebrows cryptically: "If you have anything else to say, just say it directly?"

Qi Wenyan stared at her without changing his face, and murmured slightly: "I just think moving to a new house is a big deal, and I saw that the Empress took great care of you before, this housewarming...you think it's troublesome, I can understand, but the queen in the palace For the sake of face, the empress should still make arrangements for you in the future, right?"

Yun Cheng heard that, this time he was really irritable and frowned.

Empress Gu would not take care of her trivial matters in idleness, but Qi Wenyan misunderstood her mother, but her father was definitely a long-winded and very particular about these clichés.

Yun Cheng fell silent, and a feeling of irritability spread directly between his brows.

Qi Wenyan then said calmly: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Since you also said that there are no relatives in the family who need a banquet, it just so happens that the banquet has already been set up at my side today. Let's join together as a family." ?”

"What do you mean?" Yun Cheng didn't understand his meaning for a while, and instinctively frowned.

Qi Wenyan said it as it should be: "Go to the banquet together to show your face, after eating this feast, if the Empress Empress asks about it later, you can directly say that you have already hosted the housewarming banquet."

Yun Cheng still hasn't made up his mind whether to nod or refuse...

Then he changed the subject of the conversation, and then said: "If you feel sorry, you can pay half of the money for the banquet."

Yun Cheng: ...

The little girl stared.

Immediately afterwards, the next moment, he was laughed angrily by the sanctimonious man in front of him.

"Do I look like I'm not very smart?" She said: "Master Qi shouldn't be going to Dali Temple, your account is so good, it should be working for the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Qi Wenyan also smiled instead of anger: "I'm just afraid that you will feel ashamed to come to my place to eat and drink for nothing if you feel that you will not be rewarded for nothing."

After a pause, he said again: "The newly hired cook in my family is very skilled."

Except for the occasional awkwardness of his personality, Yun Cheng didn't find any other major shortcomings.

Qi Wenyan's attitude doesn't seem to have much sincerity, but according to Yun Cheng's experience of meeting him a few times before——

She probably knew that Master Qi was a person who was cold by nature and not warm to others.

Coming to her in such a roundabout way to talk about Xiang himself...

That's enough to show his sincerity.

Thinking about his nagging old father, Yun Cheng followed the good advice, turned around, and walked towards Qi Wenyan's house: "Alright, let's try your cook's skills. I'll give you the money. When the money is broken and the disaster is prevented."

Qi Wenyan is a person who doesn't show his emotions. At this moment, the corners of his lips curled up in an arc, but he quickly straightened it, turned around and followed Yun Cheng's pace.

Both of them were very straightforward at the banquet. Qi Wenyan said that this is his neighbor who lives next door. Since the two families don't have many relatives and friends, they held the housewarming banquet together to save trouble.

Yun Cheng still called himself Gu Xuanxuan, saying that he was a distant relative of Queen Gu's natal family.

Although the Gu clan is also extremely large, the only direct descendants of the Pingguo Duke's House are Gu Zhan and Queen Gu. The generation of their family is named after "Mu" for males, "日" for female relatives, and "Day" for female relatives. The queen's name is Gu Wanwan, and then some people interpreted her too much, thinking that she is a relative of the same generation as the Gu Zhan siblings in the Gu clan.

And some well-informed people have already found out from the Ministry of Works that the other side of Qi Wenyan's house was given to a cousin of the Queen, and it was a garden that was taken care of by the Queen's Empress, and was repaired by the Ministry of Works.

Everyone guessed that this girl named Gu Xuanxuan should be loved and favored by the empress.

In addition, she was just a young girl, and no one in the officialdom would compromise her status to find fault with her, so the meal was a joy for the host and guests, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In Huiyun Tower on the other side, Qi Huan and Gu Zhan were also full of wine and food.

At the banquet, the two also drank some wine, but Qi Huan didn't drink enough, and before leaving, he had the cheek to ask the waiter to pack two more small jars.

Gu Zhan came out of the restaurant holding the wine jar for her one by one in each hand, and looked at the sky, but he didn't want to let her go back, but he still asked against his will: "The banquet at your third uncle's house should not end so quickly, do you want to let her go?" Go back to him or should I take you back to the Hou Mansion directly?"

Qi Huanyuan didn't care where she went. Although she made a fool of herself in front of Qi Wenyan for a while, it was not a major matter involving principles and bottom line issues. vindictive.

They are all a family, and sooner or later they have to find a way to go down.

Qi Huan thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go back to my third uncle."

Gu Zhan handed the wine jar to Jiang Xuan and stuffed it into the horse's bag, and the three masters and servants drove the horse back to Qi Wenyan's place.

Sure enough, the show hadn't ended yet, and there were still a variety of cars, horses and sedan chairs waiting at the gate.

Qi Huan found his own carriage and motioned Jiang Xuan to hand over the wine to Lao Jing and put it on the carriage first.

She took Gu Zhan with her, and was about to go into the mansion again, but she didn't want to pull him, but Gu Zhan didn't move.

Qi Huan looked back at him: "What?"

Gu Zhan looked up at the door plaque, pulled the corners of his lips, and said lazily, "It must be the time when there is a lot of fun inside. Is it appropriate for the two of us to rush in like this?"

To put it bluntly, he just didn't want to go in.

Qi Huan held back his smile, took his other hand and shook it, and asked knowingly, "Then what do you think we should do? The two of us just wait on this street?"

"It's hard to come out..." Gu Zhan was unwilling to waste time like this: "Do you have any other places you want to go? There are many exquisite and interesting places in this capital, but it's hot now... …Go to Wangxian Lake and rent a painting boat, how about we go boating?"

The ideas are all good ideas, if it's another season, Qi Huan would definitely follow him with dancing, but it's really too hot to go out for fun in this season.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Qi Huan suddenly said, "Shall we go to your place?"

Gu Zhan was taken aback for a moment, unable to react for a while.

Qi Huan was slightly excited, and pulled him towards the mount: "We realized that now, you are the one who runs to my house time after time, and I just remembered that you haven't brought me to your house to play. "

Gu Zhan was half-pushed and half-pushed by her to the front of the horse. Looking at her, he had a troubled expression on his face: "It was indeed my negligence, but you know, my grandfather is not in the capital, and I live alone at home."

It's not a holiday, and there are no elders who need to visit...

Although it was sunny, he always felt strange to ask him to take the opportunity to lead other girls to his home alone.

But Qi Huan was in high spirits, and just kept urging him to get on the horse: "Let's go, I haven't been to your house once, you have to show me the door anyway."

Gu Zhan couldn't resist her, so he could only get on his horse, and took her away helplessly.

He was still inexplicably guilty until he ran into Qin Song who was patrolling with troops on the street——

In an instant, I didn't feel that there was anything wrong!
