A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 339 Confrontation between Uncle and Nephew
Of course, both Qi Wenyan and Yun Cheng simply wanted to save time and go home.

Yun Cheng was controlling the horse in front, and Qi Wenyan sat on the back of her horse holding a hand stove, saying that it was a shared ride...

They sat a little closer, but none of them wanted to take advantage of each other's misdeeds.

Of course, with such an interruption, Mr. Qi, who was brought back by his wife himself, was inevitably in a good mood, and when he got home, he didn't care about Feng Lin hurting his reputation.

The fat cook of the Qi Mansion is a conscientious and good cook, because the masters hurried out the door before they touched their chopsticks, so he brought the food back to the kitchen to reheat it.

After the two returned home, they first filled their stomachs.

Qi Wenyan took Yun Cheng back by himself through the porter at the gate.

When the two were walking in the corridor, he took the initiative to ask: "Your Majesty specially asked you to come over, what did you say?"

Although Yun Cheng claimed that the emperor's health was fine after leaving the palace, Qi Wenyan himself knew that His Majesty the emperor of the Great Hall could not live a long life. On the way back until now, although Yun Cheng didn't say anything, But he felt that her mood was actually much lower.

Yun Cheng kicked the stone pavement under his feet, walked a few more steps with his head buried, and then suddenly stopped.

Qi Wenyan followed her and stopped.

She turned her head to look at her, with a smile on her lips, half-truth and half-fake question: "If the father grants the marriage in the court now, will you agree or not?"

Marriage is definitely going to happen in the end.

But this so-called wedding ceremony, to Qi Wenyan, was just a fake ceremony for others to see, and he himself didn't care much.

to him--

In the end, what he wants is that he has identified this person in his heart, then it can only be this person, and it must be this person.

He could also see that Yun Cheng's words were meant as a joke, not because he really wanted a clear attitude from him.

He lowered his eyes and quietly looked at the girl's vivid face for a while, before calmly saying: "What do you want me to do, I will listen to you."

He is a person who can't joke, but everything he says can be heard as a promise and guarantee.

Yun Cheng hadn't really considered getting married so far, so he chuckled lightly when he heard this, "I'm just joking with you, let's talk about it later."

Qi Wenjing sent her to the screen wall at the gate, and stopped in his tracks.

Yun Cheng waved his hand, motioning for him to go back.

The two were neither greasy, nor reluctant.

However, Qi Wenyan still stood, waited to watch her turn around the screen wall, and heard her footsteps go away, then turned and walked back.

It was the end of the year, and he did have a bunch of cases on hand that were sent to the capital for review to be finalized. He was not sleepy anyway, so he turned around and went to the study to read the files.

And looking at it, you can see that it is halfway through the fourth watch.

Feng Lin waited in the wing room in the courtyard, dozed off for several times, saw that the light in his room was still on, and the silhouette of someone flipping through the files was reflected on the window paper...

Feng Lin couldn't bear it anymore, so he boldly knocked on the door: "Master, it will be dawn in a while, why don't you rest first? Aren't you going to court tomorrow? Wake up and then deal with it?"

Qi Wenyan glanced at the water leak standing in the corner, and was shocked to realize that time passed so quickly.

He just turned off the lights, put on his cloak, and went back to his bedroom to rest.

Maybe it was because he stayed up late at night, or it was rare that he didn't have to get up early to go to court one day, so he slept very soundly when he fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, I opened my eyes and looked sideways, and saw that the sun's shadow on the window lattice had already begun to sink.

Outside, Feng Lin had never seen him sleep for such a long time, and he had come to look at it several times after noon, but he didn't give instructions in advance, and he didn't dare to call him casually.

Qi Wenyan sat on the bed and meditated, until the sound of Feng Lin's restless footsteps began to linger outside the door again, his eyes began to refocus, and he said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Feng Lin was startled and shivered, he quickly cheered up and opened the door and walked in: "Master..."

Qi Wenyan lifted the quilt and got down to get dressed, looking orderly, and then asked him casually, "What time is it?"

"The time will be announced soon." Feng Lindao, helping him pass the clothes over, "You have slept for a long time, are you going to order the kitchen to prepare meals?"

Qi Wenyan paused for a moment with his hands tying his clothes, then turned his head and asked him, "What about her?"

Feng Lin's reaction at this time was not slow, knowing that the only one who would ask him this question was the little princess who lived across the door, and quickly said: "Miss Gu's family went out in the morning, and she hasn't returned yet. You... ...Do you want to have dinner with her when she comes back?"

After Qi Wenyan rinsed his mouth, he picked up his cloak and put it on: "Then prepare the car, I'll go out."

Feng Lin suspected that he had heard wrong for a moment, and tried to confirm again: "You mean... to prepare the car?"

It is true that he used to go out in a sedan chair to show off, but since he was staring at the little girl opposite the door, he changed to riding a horse, and he no longer sat in a sedan chair, let alone a carriage.

Feng Lin didn't continue to inquire any more, and hurried to the carriage and stable to prepare.

Qi Wenyan went out by himself, stood on the steps of the door and waited for Feng Lin for a while before driving the carriage out through the side door.

When he got into the carriage, Feng Lin thought he was going to the yamen where Yun Cheng was on duty to find someone...

How can a big man be so clingy?
Just as he was hesitating whether he should remind him or not, Qi Wenyan's cold voice came from inside the carriage: "Go to the Marquis of Changning."

Feng Lin was even more surprised.

Even if he really wanted to get engaged, he didn't need to discuss it with the old man of the Qi family, and he didn't even need to leave the scene.

not to mention--

Although the emperor issued a decree saying that he might feel the cold for three days, but the yamen below must not slack off. Qi Zhengyu and his son must have not returned at this time. Now that they have passed, is it possible that they still have to wait?

Feng Lin wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so he could only keep his head buried in his work.

In winter, when it was dark and early, when their master and servant went to the gate of the Marquis of Changning, the sky had already dimmed.

The people in the Qi family's room were even more surprised: "Third Lord? You are..."

"I'm here to talk to my elder brother about something." Qi Wenyan walked in without looking sideways, without waiting for them to talk nonsense, and directly made his own decision, "He probably hasn't returned yet, I'll wait in the study of the second courtyard. "

No one in the Qi family dared to provoke him, not to mention that today the streets and alleys are crazy. It is rumored that Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoyang has chosen her third master. .

Everyone hurriedly split up and acted. Some people led the way attentively, knowing that he knew the way, and personally sent him to Qi Wenjing's study outside, while others rushed back to the backyard to report to Mrs. Yang.

Qi Huan dressed up as an idle young lady, and there was nothing to do in winter. Today, he came to Anxuetang early before dark to pass the time by practicing calligraphy with Qi Yuanchen, and then waited for dinner.

"Why did the third uncle come back suddenly at this time?" After hearing the porter's report, Qi Huan felt abnormal at first.

She and Yang looked at each other.

Yang pushed aside the abacus at hand and got up.

Gui Yun, who was waiting in the house, hurriedly took the cloak and the hand stove and came over to fully equip her.

Qi Huan also hurriedly got up and took his fur coat: "I'll go too."

Qi Wenyan can't just be quick and quick, he just announced his relationship yesterday, and he's anxious to come back today to discuss the wedding, right?
Although her third uncle is definitely a low-key practical person, but...

How old is the little princess of the royal family, and he is anxious to marry, but he may not be willing to marry so early!

When Qi Yuanchen heard the words, his small eyes rolled, he threw the pen directly, jumped off the stool and rushed over to hug Yang's thigh.

Mrs. Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she pulled him down, and coaxed him softly and forcefully: "Your third uncle has something to do when he comes back, and he doesn't have time to play with you, and it's freezing cold, so don't mess around, just wait here obediently."

Most of the time, Qi Yuanchen listened to persuasion.

Although the face is not very happy, but in the end did not spoil.

Qi Huan followed Yang to the Second Hospital.

Now that Qi Yuanxu and Qi Yuanming in the mansion have all moved out, there is such a large second courtyard, most of the houses are empty, only Qi Wenyan lives alone...

It is more or less deserted.

Feng Lin, who was standing at the door, helped to open the door: "Third Lord, Mrs. Shizi and Missy are here."

At that time, Qi Wenyan was pacing in front of Duobaoge to watch Qi Wenjing's collection.

Hearing this, she immediately turned her head and nodded at Yang Shi: "Sister-in-law."

Qi Huan also respectfully bowed to him: "I've met my third uncle."

Yang knows Qi Wenyan's character, and understands that his current attitude towards this family is to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he just cut to the chase when he was invited to sit down: "Why did you come here at this hour? Is it today's rest?"

Qi Wenyan shook his robe and sat down: "No, His Majesty suddenly fell ill, and I was spared the morning court for a few days, so I followed my busy schedule and asked for leave for two days."

While speaking, he picked up the teacup and sipped his tea with downcast eyes.

at the same time--

Then he casually glanced at Qi Huan beside him.

Seeing that the girl didn't lift her eyelids and just pretended to drink tea obediently, she knew it well——

It seems that this girl's news is far better than what he thought.

"The concierge said you came to look for your elder brother? It's still early, and he might not return for at least an hour. If you're in a hurry...if it's convenient, tell me what's going on, and I'll pass it on for you?" Yang said.

Qi Wenyan and the old man at home have almost been in a state of estrangement, knowing that he will not want to see each other, Yang will not pretend not to understand, let alone create any chance for their father and son to meet or even reconcile.

Qi Wenyan said: "Actually, I want to borrow some books from my elder brother. I vaguely remember seeing some ancient books about the laws and regulations of the previous dynasty at my elder brother's place in the early years."

In Qi Wenjing's life, reading and collecting books is his greatest hobby, and he does have some wealth in this regard.

Can--

Qi Wenyan wanted to use this reason to deliberately visit the door...

That would be pure nonsense.

If he really wanted to borrow books from Qi Wenjing, just meet him in the palace and tell him, Qi Wenjing would definitely find one and send it to him, so why bother to go home in person.

Yang remained calm.

Qi Wenyan looked at Qi Huan again, and said, "I'm really in a hurry to go back. If sister-in-law trusts me, let Sister Huan stay and help me find it?"

and so--

Did her third uncle come back specifically for her this time?

Unexpectedly, Qi Huan raised his head suddenly, and the tea cup he was holding in his hand was so violent that a few drops of tea almost shook out.

Qi Wenyan's expression was as usual, without any flaws.

Qi Huan couldn't help being vigilant, and instinctively swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing her radical reaction, Mrs. Yang thought it was a bit funny, but she stood up calmly: "That's fine. I still have something to do in my backyard, Huan'er... just help third uncle find the books he wants Well. If you don't have any on the bookshelf, there are some in the two big camphor wood boxes in the back room."

After a pause, she also instructed in a serious manner: "Those old ancient books, the paper is very fragile, so be careful when searching."

Qi Huan knew that his old lady was not on guard against the third uncle, but she sold her daughter so easily...

It doesn't seem like it is right?
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, Yang Shi had already left with Gui Yun.

Feng Lin was also a little surprised, looking at the two uncles and nephews in the room, he didn't know whether to close the door or not.

Qi Huan looked around, knowing that his aura couldn't resist him, so he decided to make a quick decision, preemptively, and asked with a smile: "Third Uncle came back this time...won't he be looking for me on purpose? Do you have any plans?" Tell me, can someone send a message and call me?"

Feng Lin looked at her reserved smirk, finally made up his mind, and gently closed the door.

Qi Huan: ...

Why do you suddenly have a terrible sense of crisis that someone will close the door and beat the dog after entering the house?
She was staring at the two doors, and just when she felt hairy in her heart, Qi Wenyan had already said formally: "Have you heard the news that His Majesty is going to retire?"

"Ah!" Qi Huan responded instinctively. Since she is the one who can't refuse, she should cheer up and deal with it. She made her expression and attitude as official as possible: "Gu Zhan came here in the morning, and I talked about it during the chat. Pass."

"He tells you everything." Qi Wenyan's lips twitched, but he couldn't tell whether it was emotion or sarcasm.

But when he talked about the emperor face to face with him like this, Qi Huan would only be more vigilant, so he didn't try to speak quickly.

What Gu Zhan told her was not only about the emperor's resignation due to illness, but also that her third uncle accompanied the little princess to the palace to see her sick in the middle of the night last night...

If it was someone else, she would have teased her face to face.

But to Qi Wenyan——

dare not.

Qi Wenyan looked down on her quiet, pretending and well-behaved appearance, so he asked aggressively again: "Has he told you any other important news recently?"

Qi Huan: ...

Uh... So, her third uncle came back to ask her for news?

For a moment, she was even more uncertain about the other party's intentions, so she could only use defense as an offense, and asked tentatively: "We talk a lot every time we meet, I don't know... what kind of news does third uncle refer to specifically?"

Qi Wenyan didn't point out her cautious thoughts, and said bluntly: "It's about Prince Ning's mansion and that woman surnamed Ye."

Qi Huan was taken aback again, the more he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

Although he was the one who got the antidote from Dacheng's spy last time, and if he really married into Princess Zhaoyang as a son-in-law, he should be on the same side as Emperor Gu and Empress...

But now, after all, his status has not been confirmed, and the palace has not clearly said that he is going to be recruited into the gang!

Qi Huan hesitated for a while, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to play stupid: "Third Uncle, you mean..."

However, Qi Wenyan didn't like her resigned attitude very much, and directly interrupted her: "King Rui sneaked back to the capital secretly."

"Ha!" He actually knew this?

When Qi Huan was shocked, he couldn't hold it back, and laughed dryly, and then stared at her third uncle brightly and asked, "Since you know everything, why are you asking me?"

She had a shadow over Ye Xunyi, the heroine, and never dared to take it lightly, so she repeatedly told Gu Zhan to keep an eye on Ye Xunyi.

Therefore, they knew about the appearance of Yunheng in the teahouse that day.

only--

It was too much to scare the snake, Qi Huan didn't let him and Ye Xunyi be alarmed for the time being.

They stared at Ye Xunyi for a reason, but Qi Huan didn't expect her third uncle to be able to catch all these clues.

Qi Wenyan was not fooled at all, let alone being led by her nose, he just didn't answer and asked instead: "Since we found out about King Rui's whereabouts, why didn't we ask Gu Zhan to arrest him? His revived ambition and his existence have always been a threat to the crown prince, from Gu Zhan's standpoint, he would not be willing to let him continue to make trouble outside, you encouraged him, right?"

The smirk on Qi Huan's face was finally suppressed.

She lowered her eyes slightly and readjusted her mentality, and when she raised her eyes again to meet Qi Wenyan's gaze, she seemed solemn and sullen: "We also discovered the whereabouts of King Rui, so why hasn't the third uncle reported it to the court so far? "
