A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Qi Huan lost all interest in an instant.

However, Gu Zhan was very pleased because his niece and daughter finally got enlightened and looked like a girl.

He touched Qi Huan's hair with a smile: "Since Mr. Qi is not at home, forget it. You still have to go to the temple fair to pick up your brother, and stroll around the street. If you are lucky, you might meet him there."

Qi Huan was just unbalanced, not really emotional.

Looking at Gu Zhan, she regained her energy and told the boy: "Then when the third uncle comes back, you can tell me that I have been here."

"Yes, I will definitely bring the words to you." This young man from the Qi Mansion is completely different from his master's aloof temperament, but is very lively and enthusiastic. He sent Qi Huan and the two of them to the carriage, and kept watching their carriage. The horse turned out of the alley, and then re-entered the door.

The two of Qi Huan went to the street of the temple fair, only to realize that they were inexperienced and too naive.

because--

The three consecutive streets were bustling with people coming and going, not to mention meeting Qi Wenyan by chance, even looking for Qi Yuanchen with a purpose would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, completely unrealistic.

The two sat in the carriage, looked at the crowded street ahead and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Qi Huan asked Gu Zhan: "I used to be in poor health and couldn't go out. I didn't know that the Lantern Festival of the Lantern Festival would be such a grand occasion. Have you no experience?"

Gu Zhan looked innocent and embarrassed, and explained: "When I was young, I wasn't very interested in such occasions. Later, when I was a little older, I went to the military camp. In fact, it was my first time to come to the Lantern Festival."

He knew in his heart that Qi Huan actually didn't like too noisy environments and occasions. Looking at the crowded Temple Fair Street in front of him, he offered to propose: "Or let's go back directly, Chi Yunchuan will send Brother Chen back."

Looking at the crowded scene below, Qi Huan felt his scalp tingling.

But on second thought-

In the future, when Gu Zhan returned to the Northwest Army, he wanted to see such a lively Lantern Festival in the capital next time, but he didn't know that he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

She then decisively picked up the hem of her skirt and got out of the car: "It's all here..."

Gu Zhan was always talkative, so he smiled softly and got out of the car with her.

At that time, Qi Wenyan and Yun Cheng were at the scene of the Lantern Riddles Festival on the embankment connected to the end of the street.

In fact, it is pure speculation that the boy in Qi Wenyan's house said that he came to the Lantern Festival with Yuncheng, because when Qi Wenyan left, he said that it was a good trip to the temple fair, but he left alone, but everyone in his house was very excited. Knowing the master's temper, he also guessed that he was not that interested in going to the temple fair alone. Since someone could make an exception for him, it could only be the girl from the Gu family who lived across the door.

And the fact—

And it is.

Yun Cheng still received an errand today, and was in charge of patrolling the streets near the Lantern Festival, but she must have had a premonition, guessing that Qi Wenyan might come here to "encounter" her, so when she patrolled here It was no surprise to see him in the crowd.

The two people looked at each other from a distance across the crowded crowd, and then smiled at each other.

The guard who followed Yun Cheng understood, and offered to suggest: "Master, you haven't eaten dinner yet, why don't you take a stroll around and have something to eat, and the subordinates will take them to patrol again, and come back later to meet up."

At the foot of the emperor in the capital, there are more petty theft accidents on this occasion, and generally there will be no major problems.

After a moment of consideration, Yun Cheng got off his horse and threw the whip to him.

She walked through the crowd.

He didn't ask whether Qi Wenyan appeared here for any purpose, but just glanced at the large row of lanterns hanging on the shelf behind him, and then selected a high one, pointed to Qi Wenyan and said, "Help me get that lantern." ?”

There is a luxurious stone bridge behind this, reaching the opposite bank.

On the Lantern Festival, there are generally two popular programs at the Lantern Festival——

One is to put river lanterns under the embankment, and the other is to hang lanterns on the railing on the high stone bridge to make a wish.

And the river bank stretches as far as the eye can see, with a large number of lanterns hanging, and each lantern has a lantern riddle hanging on it. To solve the lantern riddle, you only need to pay ten copper coins to take the lantern away, otherwise you have to pay ten times the reserve price in silver to buy it. .

For this reason, there are often some scholars who earn extra money wandering around these stalls, specifically for solving lantern riddles and winning lanterns.

Qi Wenyan raised his head slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at the lamp, without needing to say much, he just walked forward in a tacit understanding, and asked the person watching the stall for the lantern riddle corresponding to that lamp.

Mystery: small bridges and flowing water with plum blossoms blooming.

The answer to the riddle is very easy to guess.

Qi Wenyan picked up the pen and just wrote down the vigorous and powerful Chinese character Haitang on the paper, but the lamp was taken away by another stall owner on the other side who was also looking at the stall.

"My lord, wait a moment." The stall owner here apologized and hurried over to ask.

The two were brothers, they belonged to the same family. After exchanging information, the stall owner ran back and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, that lamp was just won by the customer over there. It's from my stall. I’m sorry for the negligence. Why don’t you choose a new one, I don’t need to guess the lantern riddles, I’ll give it to you as an apology.”

Just as he was talking, a few girls who were holding the lamp not far away approached him.

The leading girl is fifteen or sixteen years old, and looks like Xiaojiabiyu, with two sweet dimples on her face when she smiles.

She first glanced at the answer to the riddle written by Qi Wenyan on the table, and then generously handed out the lantern in her hand: "A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, since the young master has taken a fancy to this lantern, I will let you do it. In exchange, you can solve another lantern riddle for me again."

"No need!" Qi Wenyan didn't even look at the lamp she handed over, but only concentrated on scanning the remaining lamps on the shelf, raised his hand and lit one that was nothing like this one, "I want that one."

The stall owner made a mistake first, so he quickly fetched the pole, took down the lamp, and handed it to him respectfully.

Qi Wenyan took it with one hand, then took out a piece of broken silver and slapped it on the table.

The stall owner quickly declined: "No, no, I agreed to give it to you."

Qi Wenyan didn't pay any attention, turned around and left with the lamp in hand.

He returned to Yun Cheng, and handed the lamp to her as if nothing had happened.

Yun Cheng smiled, didn't say much, carried the lamp, and followed him away.

After the stall owner was stunned, he happily collected the money.

The group of girls standing next to them looked at each other in blank dismay, and the face of the girl who was holding the lamp that Yun Cheng had been looking at at first fell down slowly——

I have seen someone who is arrogant and indifferent, but I have never seen someone who is so arrogant, she is so generous to cut love and take the initiative to show her favor, this person looks like a child of a family, at least she should say "a gentleman does not take what others like" in return, right?How can there be such a thing?

Not far away, Chi Yunchuan, who also took two children to guess lantern riddles in front of the stall, accidentally watched a play, but he was very interested, and the corners of his mouth went straight to the ears, and he commented with emotion: "Oh, my little girl didn't Other unreasonable thoughts, just show me a good way to change a lamp and have fun secretly..."

He looked at Qi Yuanchen: "Your third uncle really doesn't understand style."

Waiting for him to solve the lantern riddle, Qiao Yue, who saw the lantern he was looking for was taken away by others, got angry and lost his temper and urged him: "Can you still guess it?"

Chi Yunchuan withdrew his gaze and tried to negotiate: "How about I buy you one directly?"

The little girl was obviously aroused to win or lose, and stared at him contemptuously.

Chi Yunchuan was helpless, scratching his ears and cheeks, and could only bite the bullet and fight again: "Then you choose another one."

The major is not right, guessing lantern riddles is even more difficult than charades, he was so worried that he wanted to pull his hair.

When a new lantern riddle was brought over, Qi Yuanchen, who was standing beside him eating candied haws, couldn't bear it any longer. He climbed up the stool with the candied haws in his mouth, grabbed the pen in his hand and wrote the answer crookedly on the paper.

Qiao Yue finally got the lamp.

Chi Yunchuan sneered a few times under the contemptuous eyes of the two children, but he finally felt relaxed.

On the other side, Yun Cheng took the lamp, and Qi Wenyan took her to eat on the side of the road. After drinking and eating, the two of them walked up the stone bridge side by side.

Walking to the middle of the stone bridge, Qi Wenyan helped her hang the lantern on the high railing.

After that, the two stood side by side, standing on the bridge to watch the scenery.

Along the bank of the embankment below, people have been putting on lanterns one after another. The bright lights above the river extend all the way to the distant sky, connecting with the sea of ​​stars. This scene is too beautiful to behold.

Yun Cheng is looking at the scenery.

Qi Wenyan was looking sideways at her.

After a while, Yun Cheng looked away as if nothing had happened, and asked him with a smile, "Why didn't you ask me what wish I made when I hung the lamp?"

Qi Wenyan, however, had a clear expression on his chest, and he pursed his lips and said, "The country is peaceful and the people are safe?"

He probably understood her, Yun Cheng didn't deny it, and the two looked at each other and smiled again.

Where the cold wind passed by, the elegant and noble son in white clothes and the heroic princess of the royal family in military uniform stood side by side, complementing each other perfectly.

Qi Huan held Gu Zhan's hand and stood at the bridge and stared at them for a long time, but in the end he didn't bother, turned around and left.

They went around in a circle, but they didn't meet Chi Yunchuan and the others in the end, so they could only return without success, and Gu Zhan sent her back.

When Qi Huan arrived home, Qi Yuanchen was sent back by Chi Yunchuan one step ahead of her.

Because it was getting late, this retrospective Zhan did not follow into the mansion, and left directly.

When Qi Huan went back, Qi Wenjing was also in An Xuetang, because he heard that she was back, so he deliberately went to Yang's place and waited to see her.

Qi Huan talked with their husband and wife for a while, and when Yang Shi sent Qi Yuanchen to sleep in the wing, she also said goodbye and went back to her yard.

After soaking in a hot bath beautifully, she fell asleep contentedly.

On the other side, the house in Pingkangfang also lived peacefully overnight, and Qi Wenyan got up early the next day to go to court, and the young man on duty at the porter told him that Qi Huan had been there last night.

Qi Wenyan only nodded to show that he understood, and then went to the court in high spirits.

On the court today, there are two main things——

First, it was announced that Rui Wang Yunheng had cleared his grievances and returned to the court, and the second was that Su Qinnian wrote a letter to resign, and wanted to demote himself to a local government.

The former matter was a matter of course, everyone was just a witness, and once the latter matter was thrown out, the whole court was excited, and everyone stretched their necks anxiously waiting to see the emperor's reaction.

But after the emperor sighed, there was no way to persuade him to stay!
In this way, it is equivalent to spreading a signal that an emperor is dissatisfied with Su Qinnian, and intends to punish and beat him.

But Su Qinnian moved very quickly, he only packed for two days, packed his luggage early in the morning on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, and left Beijing with his wife and daughter.

Qi Huan got up early to send it off.

Perhaps because it was just before the end of the morning court, neither Prince Yun Zhan nor Gu Zhan showed up, but Qi Huan met her cousin Yang Qingyun who happened to be seeing him off!
Reluctant to let go, Yun Xi hugged Qi Huan and cried till she was in tears, until she couldn't breathe well.

Qi Huan was not sad at all, but she cried out a little bit of loneliness, waiting to finally send their family away, the expression on his face was like that of an eggplant beaten by frost.

Yang Qingyun looked at her sideways, and still teased: "Don't cry like others, other little girls cry so pitifully, you..."

As he spoke, he bared his teeth, with an expression of not being able to bear to look directly at him.

Qi Huan glared at him, and retorted: "Yes, people are more angry than others, and other people's elder brothers are gentle and meticulous, and considerate, and you owe it to me."

Yang Qingyun was still not convinced: "You usually do this in front of Gu Zhan?"

Qi Huan immediately moved his feet this time: "You care about me?!"

The two had a fight, and Qi Huan's melancholy aroused by Yun Xi dissipated.

Yang Qingyun sent her back home.

On the carriage, Qi Huan looked him up and down curiously: "Did you ask for leave today?"

Asking for leave only two days after starting work, this guy is too passive and sabotage.

Yang Qingyun shrugged: "It's just a morning, and the afternoon is over."

He had known Su Qinnian for a while, and he had been taken care of by Su Qinnian after he became an official. Now that he came to see Su Qinnian off when he was demoted from the capital and left the court in the cold, it can be regarded as the beginning and the end, and he valued love and righteousness.

Qi Huan didn't investigate further.

Back at the Hou's Mansion, Yang Qingyun cheekily followed him in, until he had finished his lunch at Yang's, and then went directly to the yamen from the Changning Hou's Mansion.

As for Qi Xin, who was also escorted by the bodyguard this morning, he arrived in Beijing safely.

Mrs. Cen took her into the mansion, and the mother and daughter returned to the backyard, hugging their heads and weeping bitterly.

Oh, and one more thing worth mentioning is Qi Zhengyu. This old man spends his days exorcising ghosts, and he has nightmares when he sleeps at night. It's his idle yamen that he has no energy to go to.

A few days later, Qi Wenjing was at home this day, studying with the Yang family in Anxuetang about inviting Qi Yuanchen Mr. Enlightenment.

Yang said: "If you have a suitable candidate, you should take care of it first. For the time being, the situation in our mansion... I'm afraid it's not very good to bring him back. Should we take it slow first?"

It’s okay not to mention this, but when Qi Wenjing mentioned it, he sighed: “Mother went to me in the morning to complain, saying that it was my father’s practice of inviting Taoist priests to chant scriptures every three days, and she was also tossed so hard that she couldn’t eat well or sleep well. If it goes on like this, she won't live in that yard."

Yang frowned involuntarily: "They are husband and wife after all..."

Qi Wenjing said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, if she really wants to move, I'll ask someone to clean up the courtyard where Wenyan lived in the second courtyard."

Qixia Garden has the most unused courtyards and houses, and the residents are all female relatives. Qi Wenjing knows that wolves cannot be lured into the house, and his unreliable old lady is lured into this garden.

Seeing that he had already made plans, Yang didn't say any more.

But this afternoon, Qi Wenyan, who hadn't been here for a long time, suddenly came to the door for the first time.

To save trouble, Qi Wenjing asked someone to invite him directly to An Xuetang.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qi Wenyan looked at Qi Huan who was playing with Qi Yuanchen in the back room with a clear goal: "I have something that I want Sister Huan to go over and help with. Brother and sister-in-law don't mind lending her to me for half a day?"

Qi Wenjing and his wife looked at each other, and they both understood that he was looking for his daughter to learn from his experience of getting along with the girl's family because of Yun Cheng.

Before Yang could speak, Qi Wenjing had already agreed happily, and said to Qi Huan, "Then you can go."

Qi Yuanchen stood up immediately: "I'll go too!"

Before Qi Wenjing objected, this time it was Qi Huan who robbed him: "Then let's go together."

Qi Wenjing and his wife looked at Qi Wenyan, seeing that Qi Wenyan was just drinking tea quietly with downcast eyes, which meant tacit consent, so they didn't speak.

Mrs. Yang took Qi Yuanchen back to the room to change his clothes, and Qi Huan also went back to his side to rearrange his appearance. Before leaving, he smiled and said to Qi Wenyan: "It's rare for third uncle to come back. Grandfather is sick. You Aren't you going to have a look?"

Qi Wenyan heard her pointing and malicious intentions, and raised an eyebrow at him.

Qi Wenjing, however, has a bad taste in being a daughter, and wants to persuade Qi Wenyan to see how the old man is now insane.

He lowered his face and reprimanded: "Don't mess around!"

Qi Huan only returned him a cute smile, and really didn't say anything more.

Coming out of An Xuetang, Xing Luo kept sneaking glances at her with a slightly worried expression.

Qi Huan felt something, so he turned his head and smiled at her, and said honestly: "The atmosphere is almost exaggerated, it's time to give it a push and get everything over as soon as possible!"
