A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 281 Melancholy
Yang's subordinates seized the air, followed by a stunned one, and looked back suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

Qi Huan pursed his lips, avoiding her gaze, and said softly: "I...something I don't want to see, I don't want to go."

Generally speaking, Qi Huan has always been a warm-hearted girl to those around her who have shown kindness to her, she will not refuse to save her when things happen, and will help those who can help.

Because of the fact that she brought Gao Yunmiao back safely from Yunzheng's hands last time, Qi Wenjing has sent several heavy gifts in a row to thank her in this month, and she must send a copy of any good things she finds out. , the relationship between the Gao family and their eldest family is unprecedentedly warm.

otherwise--

Yang Shi didn't have to rush over in such a hurry.

She didn't expect her daughter to be timid about this matter. She was stunned for a moment, and she naturally understood that she was afraid that she would see Gao Changjie's body at the coffin meeting today. Her little girl's family had never given a funeral. , this will cause fear.

"It's fine if you don't go." Yang quickly accepted the reason she gave her daughter, and sighed, "We have never done funeral affairs in our family. You don't know the rules, and it will only add to the chaos when you pass. Okay, then You just stay at home, I will rush over to have a look first, and then you wait until the funeral hall is set up, and then go when you express your condolences."

Hastily explained to her daughter, and she led the people away in a hurry.

Qi Huan was inexplicably frightened and his heart was in a mess.

Originally, she wanted to remind her to pay attention to her body, but because her mind was not in control, when she recovered, Mrs. Yang had already left the yard, so she had no choice but to give up.

Yun Xi herself was quite apprehensive about the death, so she didn't care too much about Qi Huan's abnormal mood at the moment, and just kept nagging herself to feel sorry for the Gao family.

Qi Wenjing was the best married among Qi Zhengyu's daughters, and her husband's accident caused quite a stir in the entire Qi family.

Yunxi couldn't stay in the house, so she ran out to inquire about the news and came back: "The second madam and the old madam also rushed over together, and before the madam left, she also sent people to the yamen to report the funeral to Lord Hou and the eldest son. .”

Qi Huan said "um" absent-mindedly, and had nothing to say about it.

When he was listless and had nothing to do, Qi Yuanchen came to him.

He didn't make a fuss when he entered the door, he climbed onto the stool next to Qi Huan and sat down on his hands and feet.

Qi Huan propped his head, lying on the table and playing with the bisque teacup in his hand. Seeing that he was obedient, he didn't bother to move at all. He just glanced at him and said, "Why are you listless? Didn't you get enough sleep?"

Although Qi Yuanchen didn't like to make a fuss most of the time, he seemed to be a little quieter today.

He didn't answer Qi Huan's questions.

Moreover, it seemed that Qi Huan was aware that Qi Huan was not in a good mood, neither asked Qi Huan to take him out to play, nor said that he wanted to write or do anything else, but actually sat with her honestly without saying a word.

The siblings sat staring wide-eyed for a long time.

Qi Huan knows that children's emotions are extremely sensitive, and even the slightest change in the emotions of those close to him can be easily sensed by him and affect him...

In the end, she couldn't hold back herself.

Exhaling a long breath, she sat up straight, took the child's soft little hand and pinched it between her fingers, and asked him warmly: "Tell me, what do you want to do this afternoon? My sister will accompany you."

Qi Yuanchen looked at her.

The child's eyes are still clear and bright, without any variegated color.

Then, he shook his head: "I don't want to do anything."

The two siblings froze again with big eyes and small eyes.

After a while, Qi Huan laughed, rubbed his head, and said viciously: "Staying like this, doing nothing is fine. It seems that I have to discuss it with my mother and invite a gentleman to enlighten you."

At this time, everyone's sons are very expensive, and they can't be let out to run around in the town. If there are brothers of the same age at home who can play together, at least they have a companion. Like a canary, the little thing looks so pitiful.

Qi Yuanchen was still obedient, neither making noise nor raising any objections.

Qi Huan thought about it for a while, then forced himself to cheer up, and led him back to An Xuetang: "Where is the kite that my cousin made for you this morning? Find out, sister, and help you find out what's wrong. Let's fix it." , see if you can make it fly."

Find some time to do it, time is still easy to pass.

Although Qi Huan relaid the paper and drew a beautiful kite, but after all, he lacked practical skills. The broken kite was still a defective product in the end, and he couldn't make it fly.

Fortunately-

Qi Yuanchen was a kid who was easy to fool, and he was very serious when he did it, and he didn't force it if it wasn't good.

When Yang came back, it was already dark.

Qi Huan happened to lead Qi Yuanchen back from the garden, saw her enter the door from a distance, and led Qi Yuanchen to wait on the corridor.

Yang must have been distracted, but she didn't see the two siblings standing not far away until Gui Yun reminded her.

The moment she saw Qi Huan, some emotion flashed in her eyes.

Then, the next moment, he quickly restrained himself and accelerated his pace to meet him.

"Why are you still in the garden at this time?" She approached, and when she saw the kite in her son's hand, she smiled and raised her hand to touch his little head.

Qi Huan's expression was as usual, he just glanced at the direction she came from just now and said: "The one from Fulinyuan seems to have been sent back in the afternoon."

There was an accident at her daughter's home, and it was impossible for Mrs. Yu to shrink back and not show her face. She rushed there with Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Cen in the afternoon, but after only a few hours, Yunxi heard the news that she was sent back.

Mentioning the old woman who was out of tune, Yang sighed indescribably, and while leading the siblings back, said: "She has gone, and she is making a fuss in the mourning hall, crying and screaming. Fainted, it's fine if you don't help, it's just adding to the chaos... When this happens, everyone is in a state of confusion, who has the patience to wait on her. The old man rushed over later, and sent someone to bring her back. "

Yu's eldest daughter, Qi Wenjing, originally didn't have much affection because she didn't grow up under her knees since she was a child. In addition, she felt that this daughter didn't act according to her wishes after her high marriage and gave her a favor. In fact, she kept cursing in private. I think Qi Wenjing is an unfilial girl with a white eye.

At this moment, it is even more impossible for a person like her to feel sorry for her daughter with empathy, but it's just a show.

Although it's a funeral, as a mother-in-law, she should express her sadness...

But if the acting is overdone, it will only backfire, and it will add trouble to those who are really sad.

"Anyway, she has been locked up at home for more than half a year and complained of illness, so don't ask her to show up when the mourning hall is set up later, right? To avoid embarrassment." Qi Huan said.

"The old man has a sense of proportion, we don't need to worry about this." Yang said.

The current situation between her and the old couple in Fulinyuan is that the well water does not violate the river water.

Fortunately-

In major matters, the old man will weigh the pros and cons, so as not to be confused.

Qi Huan then stopped worrying about their old couple, but seeing the tired look on Yang's face, he couldn't help worrying: "Mom, are you okay? You should have stayed in bed for a few more days, but you went out again and got tired. "

Yang said with a smile: "It's okay, but I really don't live up to my bones. This time, there is nothing I can do to help. There is nothing I can do. Your father and the second room have stayed there to help, and I also left Mama Jin. Later I will not going."

You can't even ignore your own body just to help others.

Qi Huan actually meant the same thing.

The mother and son returned to An Xue Tang, the cook had already prepared dinner.

Qi Huan ate, handed Qi Yuanchen back to Yang Shi, and went back to his side.

Yang stared at her back, watched her Shi Shiran walk out of the yard, and finally couldn't help sighing heavily.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?" Gui Yun came in with the freshly decocted medicine, saw her worryingly staring at the direction of the courtyard door, suddenly felt blessed, and asked in bewilderment, "Why didn't you tell the eldest lady that this afternoon I was in the general's house?" How did the government meet Gu Shizi?"

Gu Zhan was helping Gao's house all day today.

In fact, after he sent Qi Huan back last night, he turned around and went out of the city again without stopping to pick up Gao Yunze and his party.

Yang Shi glanced at her, finally just sighed again, without saying anything, took the medicine bowl from her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

At that time, in front of the gate of Pingkangfang's house, the two neighbors met again unexpectedly.

Today, it was rare for Qi Wenyan to go out in a sedan chair again.

His sedan chair was getting off the sedan chair in front of the gate, and Yun Cheng just turned around at the corner on the other side.

Seeing his sedan chair from a distance, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang, who has always been fearless, tightened the reins instinctively and hesitated for a while, almost turning around to avoid it on the spot...

For no other reason-

She woke up this morning and found herself on the bed in the bedroom.

Although her robe was not wide enough, she clearly remembered that she drank too much wine last night and fell asleep in the gazebo in the back garden.

The guards around her didn't dare to touch her without waking her up, and she also asked tentatively. The guards and the two maids serving in the yard said that they didn't hear any unusual noises last night, and they all thought that it was her drinking. Enough to walk back to sleep.

Then, Yun Cheng knew exactly how she got back last night.

Although this is not something too outrageous, after all, he did not do anything drunk and disorderly, but——

The incident had just happened, and when she met Qi Wenyan again, she still instinctively felt a little awkward.

"Master?" Seeing her suddenly stop, the guard reminded her.

Yun Cheng quickly collected her mind, and after all, it was not her temper to run away when something happened, so she reorganized her mentality and continued to ride forward as if nothing had happened.

When Qi Wenyan sat in the sedan chair, he was relatively pretending to be serious, and he was also a little extra hypocritical, chattering.

Therefore, even though he arrived first, when the bearer lowered the sedan chair to invite him down, Yun Cheng had already jumped off his horse and was about to enter the door.

He glanced at it inadvertently, and then found out in shock——

On the opposite side, the indifferent and unkind Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple had a serious face at this time, holding a big fat cat with smooth fur in his arms.

He frowned, from his expression to his movements, it was as offensive and ridiculous as he looked.

With such an interruption, the little guilt and discomfort in Yun Cheng's heart were instantly forgotten.

She subconsciously stopped, staring intently at the cat in Qi Wenyan's arms, and teased casually: "You still have this hobby? Do you keep cats?"

Because he really felt like he was suffering from some serious illness, there was a bit of scrutiny and mockery in his tone undisguised.

Qi Wenyan was also struggling with the fact that the feeling of stroking the cat deviated from what he had expected, which made him dissatisfied, so much so that he didn't even notice Yun Cheng who was coming from the opposite side.

At this moment, he suddenly came back to his senses, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the girl in front of him caring for a mentally retarded girl, and immediately felt very embarrassed.

"I didn't raise it." His face turned serious for a moment, and the cat, which was still a little bit at a loss and stiff in his arms, immediately changed to holding it in his hand.

He took two quick steps forward and handed it to Yun Cheng, "I picked it up on the road, do you want it?"

No matter how you look at him, he really doesn't look like someone who can raise small animals with good patience and good temper.

Coupled with this serious expression of disgust at this time——

So real.

"Me?" Yun Cheng was also amused, "It's okay to meet Dou Dou once in a while, do you think I have the good temper to keep cats?"

After speaking, she patted the cat on the head.

It felt good in the hand, so I scratched it twice with my finger.

Then he turned and went in the door.

Qi Wenyan held the cat's hand, still frozen in mid-air.

Feng Lin observed the words and expressions, and cautiously approached from behind: "Master... do you want more of your cat?"

Originally, Qi Wenyan wanted to raise a cat on a whim, and he should have bought it for him. Later, he thought about stray cats all over the street, so he jumped up and down in the streets near the Dali Temple Yamen and caught them all afternoon. It was pleasing to the eye, took it back, washed it, and then hugged it to Qi Wenyan.

If I had known that he was going to give to the little girl across the door, I shouldn't have caught stray cats, and I should have hired a more beautiful and docile one seriously!

Isn't this a bad thing!
But fortunately, his slurred master didn't care about it, smacked his lips, and stuffed the cat into his arms with his backhand: "You keep it, there is no shortage of food for it."

He didn't get annoyed when he didn't send the girl something?

This is a bit subversive!
But it's a good thing that he doesn't feel eccentric, and Feng Lin didn't bother to think about why he was so tepid after being deflated, so he quickly chased after him and asked, "General Gao's coffin has been escorted back to Beijing, so we have to visit the house to express our condolences, right?" ? When do you plan to go there?"

Qi Wenyan was one of the first few people who knew of Gao Changjie's death, so he just ignored the news and said, "You can arrange it as you like, and go whenever you are free."

Except for Qi Wenjing, he and his brothers and sisters in the family are not only not close, they even have almost no contact.

If it wasn't for showing off to outsiders, he wouldn't even need to go there.

Feng Lin knew that he really didn't care, so he didn't hold on to this topic any longer.

At the same time, in Marquis Wucheng's mansion, at the dinner table, Mrs. Qin was moaning and sighing because of the Gao family's funeral.

Qin Song's brothers and sisters all knew that she was thinking of their father who died young because of this, and they expressed their feelings, so they all silently ate food without saying a word.

After a meal, I finished it tastelessly.

Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, although the atmosphere was very oppressive, Qin Shuo and Qin Ying winked at each other, but in the end neither of them dared to move.

Mrs. Qin didn't care too much about these two little ones, she just said to Qin Song: "When will you take a rest? Or see which day is not busy recently, and ask for half a day off. We have been friends with the Gao family for many years, so we have to prepare It’s a generous gift, and the whole family will go there together.”

The shock caused by Gao Changjie's incident in Qin Song's heart has long since calmed down. He took the tea handed over by the maid, and said in a calm tone, "Tomorrow I will go to the Yamen to see, and I will tell you after I make arrangements."

"Ah!" Mrs. Qin Tai tried her best not to bring up the old things again, but she couldn't hold back after all, and said bitterly: "I thought their family's luck would be better than ours, but I didn't expect... After going around and going around, in the end it turned out Or different routes lead to the same end, and got the same end.”

Both Qin Shuo and Qin Ying hung their heads and dared not answer.

When their father passed away, one of them hadn’t started to remember things, and the other was just a posthumous child. To be honest, they didn’t have much affection for their father. They were just children without a father. When they were young, they were ridiculed and bullied by some children of the same age. .

Now that he has grown up, he is completely relieved of his father's affairs.

And this incident hit the mother and elder brother even more, so at this time, it is the elder brother who should come forward to comfort the mother.

But this time—

Qin Song also remained silent.

The atmosphere continued to be depressed. After drinking tea, he got up and went back to the study in the outer courtyard.

It was night, and the overall atmosphere of the Qi family in the Marquis of Changning was not very good. It was a little quieter than usual, and it was so quiet that one could feel flustered.

Qi Huan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and didn't fall asleep until midnight, so when he woke up the next day, he felt tired all over and couldn't quite lift his spirits.

"Ask someone to tell my mother that I won't be eating breakfast today." After getting up and washing her face, she went back to bed.

Maybe it was because of tossing and turning for a long time last night, and accidentally pressed it on the shoulder, and the bruise on the shoulder felt particularly uncomfortable, so she took the medicinal wine and asked Yun Xi to rub it for her.

But at this moment, Gu Zhan suddenly walked around the screen and walked in.
