A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 251
Qi Huan looked at the human-shaped pendant hanging on his lap, and couldn't even bear to scold him loudly.

She could only coax and lie patiently: "The weather is so hot, don't you even visit the garden recently? It's hotter outside. I'm just going to do some shopping, and I'll be back soon. Can I make iced pears for you?" ?”

"I don't." Qi Yuanchen didn't buy it, "My sister has gone out to play several times without me."

"I'm not..." Qi Huan couldn't explain clearly to him, and used sugar-coated shells to attack simply and rudely, "Well, don't make trouble, let me go today. Tomorrow... wait until tomorrow, I will take you to Tongji Medical Center Play with Qiao Yue."

Qi Yuanchen moved with intention, his two small dark eyes rolled around, and the little hand holding Qi Huan's skirt loosened.

Qi Huan just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief...

But he didn't want to, and was held tightly by him again.

It seemed that Qi Huan had given him a quick way of thinking, Qi Yuanchen looked up at her with a small face: "Go now!"

Qi Huan: ...

This little thing is getting harder and harder to cheat!

Seeing that the sun was already rising, Qi Huan and him couldn't afford to delay, so they could only think: "Okay, I'll take you out together, but we can't see Qiao Yue today, we're going to a different place, okay?"

Qi Yuanchen seemed a little disappointed, he hesitated for a while before nodding unhurriedly.

Qi Huan said: "Then you go and tell your mother, lest she should worry if she can't find you in a while."

Mother Liu and a personal servant girl who followed Qi Yuanchen all understood and were ready to go.

Only Yun Xi, who had no idea what to do, immediately volunteered and said: "Slave servant, let's go."

Turning around to leave, Qi Huan coughed heavily twice.

Yunxi looked confused, she didn't understand what was going on...

Qi Yuanchen was much smarter than her, and he never let go while holding Qi Huan's thigh.

Then, he turned his head and hugged her tightly: "I won't go, it's so hot."

Qi Huan: ...

Seeing that this piece of dog skin plaster could not be shaken off, Qi Huan could only accept it in the end.

She looked listlessly at Mama Liu and the two: "Then I'll take him out together. It's hot, you don't have to follow, tell my mother for me, we will definitely be back before noon, and let the small kitchen cook our meals."

Mother Liu felt at ease with their siblings together, so she responded directly and brought the maid back to An Xuetang.

Qi Huan lowered his head again, and Qi Yuanchen ended the pendant mode, with a pure and innocent face.

Qi Huan rolled his eyes at him without temper: "Let's go."

Leading him out and getting into the carriage, she continued to instruct him: "In a while, there are many strangers in the place we are going to, you must follow sister obediently, don't run around, and don't talk casually to people you don't know. do you know?"

Qi Yuanchen turned over the cabinet in the corner after getting into the carriage, without raising his head while playing, he just responded casually and perfunctorily: "Yes."

Qi Huan had nothing to do with him, so he could only raise his spirits and try his best to keep a close eye on him.

She asked Lao Jing to drive to Duke Pingguo's mansion first to get the birthday gift prepared by Gu Zhan's order. It was a painting by a famous artist in the world.

It is precious because one volume is hard to find. It is indeed precious, but after all, the painter is still alive, so it is not too precious before the collection value is reflected.

Qi Huan has a little understanding of calligraphy and painting, and facing his enemies, he is petty again.

She opened the curtain and asked Wei Feng: "Mr. Situ's paintings don't seem to be widely circulated in the market. Where did your son get them? Did you buy them specially?"

Wei Feng was ordered to do things for her when Gu Zhan was away from Beijing, so Gu Zhan naturally confessed to him.

"This Mr. Situ is good friends with Su Taifu, and we also know our son. He happened to travel to Beijing a while ago, and he asked for it when he went to visit him." He probably understood Qi Huan's thoughts, so he said He smiled and said: "No money was spent. The prince said that it is not worth spending money for that family."

After hearing this, Qi Huan really felt better.

But after thinking about it again, she still felt unhappy: "That's the way it is...but this painting can be sold if it is resold..."

Wei Feng: ...

If you want to say this-

Then go empty-handed!

Even if you send a breath of northwest wind, you still feel that the wind blowing on your family can relieve the summer heat!

In view of the fact that Miss Qi was so provocative that people couldn't communicate with her, Wei Feng decisively shut up.

Qi Huan finished the scroll and put it back in the brocade box.

Because this was the first banquet organized by Yang Chenglian's family after returning to Beijing, and it was to celebrate the old lady's [-]th birthday, so his family used this excuse to make a big show, and invited almost everyone who could get along with him .

And according to the usual practice, even if they didn't post someone...

If you want to take the initiative to establish a close relationship with them, many people will take the initiative to come.

Therefore, the Yang Mansion is destined to be very lively on this day.

Qi Huan didn't plan to have dinner at his house, so he got off the car on the street in front, and told Lao Jing: "You just wait here, the street in front of Yang's house will be blocked in a while, I will Just go in and have a face-to-face meeting, and be back soon."

Because she brought Qi Yuanchen, she simply brought the two girls with her, just in case.

Then Wei Feng held the gift box and followed along with the invitation from the Yang family and the invitation from the Pingguo government.

Yang Chenglian is already old, and he is already a high-ranking official from the first rank...

With such an identity, there are not many guests who really need him to receive him personally, so naturally he will not guard the gate in person.

But besides the housekeepers and stewards at the gate of the Yang Mansion, there are three other well-dressed men who are busy entertaining guests.

Among them, the older one is at least not confused.

The other one looks like he's in his twenties.

And the youngest one among them seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

These few males are the same as the female relatives from their family, all of them are ordinary in appearance.

only--

Those female family members are all famous for their talents, and their manners and education are very good. After dressing up, they still look very official.

Now look at these guys...

The strength of the forces of exalting the high and trampling the low is fully exposed, and it is quite embarrassing to be on the stage.

Especially that brat, who was just perfunctory with his errands with an expression of impatience. When he first saw such a beautiful girl as Qi Huan coming, he immediately cheered up and his eyes began to shine.

"The honored guest comes to the door, and the hair grows radiant. Dare I ask who is the daughter of the girl?" He immediately rushed forward to greet her.

When the enthusiasm is high, it is obviously frivolous.

Qi Huan would not feel uncomfortable in front of such a brat.

But she didn't intend to answer either.

At the same time, Wei Feng stepped in with a blank expression, and directly blocked the boy calmly, and offered the gift box: "We are from the Gu family of the Duke of Pingguo's mansion, and we are grateful for the invitation from your mansion, but unfortunately, Our eldest son has left for business in Beijing, so the future wife of the eldest son will come here on his behalf, congratulations to the old lady of the family for a thousand years of joy."

The expression on the young man's face was too restrained. Not far away, the older man hurriedly greeted him in three steps, pulled him away, blocked him, and said with a smile on his face: "So it is The female family members of the Duke's Mansion. The mansion is really too polite, in fact, the son of the world is not free, just say..."

He looked at Qi Huan, and realized that his son's virtue would offend the little girl, so the smile on his face became even more pervasive, and he tried to save him: "It's a hard work for you, girl, please come in for tea."

Qi Huan nodded slightly as a greeting.

The man accepted the congratulatory gift from Wei Feng, called another servant girl over, and then said to Qi Huan again: "My surname is Tian, ​​and my grandmother is talking to a group of female relatives in Lixiangyuan, girl, do you want to go first?" Shall I see you?"

Ning's family can be regarded as a respectable old lady, and today she is a birthday star, so naturally she won't be seen by everyone.

But the status of Duke Pingguo's mansion is very high, and the receptionist sees the dishes, so Qi Huan is naturally qualified to appear in front of Ning's.

Qi Huan raised a very polite smile from the corner of his lips, and nodded kindly: "Since I'm here, I should go to say hello to Mrs. Yang."

The one surnamed Tian fully agreed, then put on a straight face and warned the servant girl to treat her well, and then let them go in.

The boy with the same surname Tian who was standing next to him only glanced at this side, knowing that he was a well-known man who could not be provoked, he became uninterested again, and no longer took the initiative to pester him.

The maids of the Yang family are very well-behaved, they only lead the way with their heads buried in the road, and they don't say a word of nonsense.

Lixiangyuan should be Ning's residence.

Wei Feng couldn't follow into the backyard, and the servant girl reminded him to stop when he reached the Chuihua Gate.

Qi Huan looked down at Qi Yuanchen who was holding her hand: "Are you waiting here too?"

Qi Yuanchen grabbed her hand and refused to let go.

Without speaking, the attitude is clear at a glance.

Qi Huan didn't want to be too entangled, so he sighed and continued to lead him to the backyard.

The maid took them with ease through the garden.

It should be that there are not many people invited into the backyard, and the surrounding environment is relatively clean. Occasionally, one or two people will come to meet you. They should all go to pay Ning's birthday in private, but it happens that Qi Huan does not know him, so he greets everyone No need to fight.

Finally, a group of people were led into Lixiangyuan.

At this time of year, the doors and windows are naturally fully open in the house.

As soon as I stepped into the yard, I heard the happy chatter and laughter in the room through the bamboo curtain.

An elderly woman who was guarding the door looked very dignified.

The maid who led the way quickly walked up to her and revealed Qi Huan's identity in a low voice.

The sense of superiority on the woman's face instantly subsided, and she said to Qi Huanfu from a distance: "The wife of the prince-in-law of the Pingguo Duke's mansion, forgive me for taking the liberty, you should be Miss Qi from the Marquis of Changning's mansion, right? Miss Qi please wait a moment." After waiting for a while, the servant girl went in and made a report."

After saying that, she turned around.

Immediately, the little girl guarding the gate opened the curtain for her.

Qi Huan waited for the curtain to be raised before opening his mouth at the right time: "Don't bother."

The woman was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but stop and turn around again.

The door curtain was lifted suddenly, and a group of people who were chatting happily in the room had already turned their heads to look over at the same time.

It's just that everyone was busy complimenting the birthday star, still talking and laughing non-stop, just watching the fun by the way.

Qi Huanting stood in the courtyard with a clear and steady voice: "My identity is not so legitimate now, so I won't go in, it's just that I have to go today because I was entrusted with loyalty. Please trouble this mother to pass a message for me, let your old lady know that Qi Huan from the Marquis of Changning specially came to celebrate her birthday on behalf of Gu Shizi from the Duke of Pingguo."

The courtyard wasn't that big, and Qi Huan did it on purpose, so the voice was clear and loud...

At this time, everyone in the room had unknowingly stopped talking, and all looked at this side in unison.

include--

Sitting on the main seat, facing the old lady Ning in this courtyard.

The expression on her face was still as stable as Mount Tai, unaffected and unfluctuated, but her gaze was actually on Qi Huan's face.

Qi Huan met her with such a glance, he was satisfied, he didn't even bend his knees, he just pretended that he was just talking to a servant woman, and after saying that, he just smiled, and he turned around and walked away while holding Qi Yuanchen by himself. .

This wave of operations...

It's a bit suspicious of taking off his pants and farting.

A group of people inside and outside the house, no matter if they were masters, guests or servants, were all confused and looked at each other in blank dismay. For a long time, the whole courtyard was silent, and everyone didn't know how to react.

Concubine Wen can't leave the palace at will, but Yang Pan'er came back early in the morning, and is currently serving her grandmother.

Realizing that Qi Huan was coming to pick a fight, she immediately became angry, and was giving Ning's hand a shoulder squeeze, which was so painful that Ning slapped her hand.

"Ah!" Yang Pan'er was also in pain, but she didn't have Ning's concentration, so she screamed on the spot.

This sound instantly drew the attention of everyone inside and outside the room back to this side.

Under the eyes of everyone, Yang Pan'er's face turned pale suddenly, she lowered her eyes almost in panic, took two steps away from Ning's side, and hurriedly confessed: "Grandmother, I'm sorry, I..."

The little girl who was called herself a talented girl couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

At her age, she was already looking at each other and was ready to discuss marriage.

This one embarrassment may have a huge impact.

After stuttering, Yang Pan'er just remembered that she should hold back just now, and shouldn't be so restless and startled...

This time he was in a hurry, but he was annoyed on the spot and his eyes turned red, and he lost his composure even more.

Looking at her like this, Ning cursed in her heart as a waste of dim sum, but her face was still a kind and kind elder: "It's just a mosquito, I lost strength in my hand just now, and you don't need to red if I hurt you." Eye circles."

Yang Pan'er knew that her grandmother was paving the way for her, so she quickly regained her mentality and acted coquettishly: "My granddaughter is timid, you know that, grandmother..."

Everyone heard Qi Huan's words just now.

Ning simply avoided talking about it, so there was no need for the old woman to come in again to pass on the message.

The others are all outsiders, and their minds will not be on the secret lawsuit between the two of them.

The atmosphere in the room quickly returned to normal, and everyone still said auspicious words around the old birthday star to make her happy.

Yang Pan'er was absent-minded, and went to visit her grandmother from time to time.

Ning's face didn't show any strangeness, as if the little episode just now didn't affect her in any way, but it was in the depths of her eyes that Yang Pan'er couldn't see through——

The chill in her eyes never dissipated.

Coming out of Lixiang Garden, Xing Luo and Yun Xi also wondered all the way, and kept exchanging glances with each other, not knowing what the purpose of their young lady's visit to the old lady of the Yang family was.

But the maid was still leading the way, and the two of them couldn't ask.

Qi Yuanchen, on the other hand, has always been very quiet, like a mascot, he will follow wherever Qi Huan leads him, neither causing trouble nor holding back.

When the group returned to the Chuihua Gate, Wei Feng saw Qi Huan and his brother coming out intact, and his heart that had been hanging all this time came back to reality.

The servant girl stopped and said in a soft voice: "The banquet will not start for at least half an hour. Is the girl going to visit the garden, or is this servant leading you to the banquet for tea first?"

Qi Huan said: "My younger brother is naughty, so as not to make a noise at the table and spoil the old lady's birthday banquet. Anyway, the congratulatory gift has arrived, and I have also greeted the old lady. I will not eat the birthday wine."

The servant girl was stunned for a moment, although she felt that her behavior was a little unreasonable, but it was not her turn to be a servant to ask about this kind of matter, so she nodded kindly and sent Qi Huan and his party out the same way.

It should be that the guests who should arrive have almost arrived. When they returned to the gate, the father and son were gone among the three hostesses who were in charge of receiving guests. Only the young man in his twenties was still working hard. full of facade.

Qi Huan came out from the door, and the group left on foot.

The alley where the Yang Mansion is located was already full of cars, horses and sedan chairs. The group of people had just reached the entrance of the alley, and after turning a corner, they heard someone shouting from the street on the other side of the intersection behind them: "Grandma, I Help you, please slow down."

The voice was a bit familiar, Qi Huan turned around to look, but found that it was the young man surnamed Tian at the gate of Yang's house.

A carriage stopped by the side of the road, and the smiling young man helped the woman with gray temples to get off the carriage.

Yang Chenglian had a direct sister who was three years younger than him. She married a merchant named Tian at the first marriage, and her husband died later. After going to Beijing to join Yang Chenglian, she remarried to a husband named Chen, but this one did not live long. She had been widowed for the second time a few years ago.

think about-

The person who got off the carriage was Yang Chenglian's younger sister, who should be called Yang Chen Shi now.

The young man helped her up attentively, and she wiped off his sweat with a pampering handkerchief on her face: "It's so hot, why do you have to run to the street to meet me?"

The boy said: "I see that you and your mother haven't arrived yet, so I'm a little worried."

Mrs. Yang Chen was very useful, she smiled until her face was wrinkled: "I know you are filial."

The woman in her thirties who came with her was also full of smiles, and pretending to be dignified, she signaled the servants carrying gifts to go first with her eyes.

She and the young man surrounded Yang Chenshi on one left and one on the right, and walked slowly into the alley at the end.

It was too hot, and their mother and son were busy being courteous, so they didn't pay much attention to other passers-by, especially Qi Huan and his party were still walking on the other side of the alley.

Qi Huan thought about it for a while, couldn't help but hugged Qi Yuanchen, and then retreated to the alley, hiding in the dark, and gave Qi Yuanchen a peek-a-boo warning to be quiet.

The three of them turned into the alley, Mrs. Tian Tao took a careful look, and made sure that there was no one around, so she approached Yang Chen and said, "Mother, are you going to ask the old lady to let Brother Zhuo adopt us?" matter?"

Hearing the words, the boy Tian Wenzhuo immediately became more energetic, and his body became even more straight.

Yang Chen said: "Today, there are many guests at home, and many eyes are staring at me inside and out. I want to say that I have to find an opportunity to be alone, and I can't go to the birthday banquet to speak in public. "

Dow was impatient: "Uncle is getting older and older, and this matter has not been settled and settled every day... Isn't my daughter-in-law worrying about Brother Zhuo's future?"

Yang Chen did not take over.

Tao said again: "According to me, this will happen sooner or later, why don't you just say it straight? The old lady gave birth to two of you, brother and sister. Uncle doesn't even have a brother, and the Yang family has even more successors." No one, instead of being forced to come back from the outside to recognize a wild species that has nothing to do with you... You and him are brothers and sisters, and we, brother Zhuo, are still half connected to him. The meat is rotten in the pot. It’s better than cheap and irrelevant people, isn’t it?”

Although Yang Chen is partial to her family, Tian Wenzhuo, this old lady also has a young son.

Seeing that Yang Chenglian would not be able to have a son, the family business had to be inherited by someone. Although it would not be too late to divide the old man's business after his death, but without a proper title, they might not be able to take over the big head at that time...

Therefore, Dow was very anxious and wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.

It's just that she has shallow eyesight, and she doesn't even know that among the three of Yang's mother and son, her own mother-in-law is an idiot, Ning's family and Yang Chenglian's are both strong and wily, while Yang and Chen's family is a crooked one. In fact, I dare not speak casually in front of my mother and my brother.

Mrs. Yang Chen was annoyed by her urging, so she scolded with a cold face: "I have already said this, I will care about it myself, don't talk too much, talk too much...you are so capable, you can go to them and talk about it yourself ?”

Tao Shi was so ashamed by her scolding that he could only shut up resentfully.

Qi Huan hid in the dark and watched a white play, only to find it ridiculous.

Yunxi, a straight-hearted person who is habitually ignorant, can't get used to it. The first one couldn't help complaining: "What are these two women thinking? The adoptives are all men of the same family and the same surname. The son raised it."

What's more, this is a grandnephew!

Qi Huan looked down at the quiet and well-behaved Qi Yuanchen in his arms, couldn't help rubbing his head, and while leading a few people out of the dark, he also casually joked: "But there is no way, that Boss Yang The rest of the same clan are all dead, and only the two brothers and sisters in this branch are left."

It's also ridiculous to say that the old lady and her brother are plotting to kill and set fire to outsiders, while the younger sister is secretly calculating her brother's property.

They haven't figured out what's going on in their own family yet, so the mother and son really have the leisure to plot against others!

Finding out that this Yang family also has pig teammates, Qi Huan felt inexplicably in a good mood.

She let out a bad breath, and looked at Wei Feng seriously: "You should still have reliable people under your command, arrange a few people to keep an eye on this Yang Mansion for me from today, and pay close attention to this family of three. If there is any disturbance in any of your actions, please let me know as soon as possible."

Wei Feng was a little puzzled: "Trouble making trouble?"

Qi Huan smiled, and said word by word: "Yes, I took the bait and went to the door to provoke and beat them myself. I don't believe they can still hold their breath and continue to stand still!"
