Tangled

Chapter 154 Agree
"As for the yard, I also built it after your parents' yard. All the furnishings inside are the same."

"If you feel you don't like it, you can do as you like. The people below are obedient, so just give me your orders."

"Qiqi, the Shen family owes you too much. Now that you have grown up, you have to let us compensate you before you get married."

Shen Yanqiu spoke with deep affection, but Shen Qiqi could not detect any perfunctory tone. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she still refused to fall.

She withdrew Jin Bao's supporting hand, stroked her sleeves, and knelt down to Shen Yanqiu.

"Qi Qi wishes to send greetings to my uncle, and to my elder brothers."

The person in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar, and no matter how much she wanted to say, she couldn't say it at the moment.

"Since uncle has come to Kyoto, Qi Qi should come back to live there, but Qi Qi can't make the decision about moving back. Only after Qi Qi goes back to discuss with her cousin can she give the uncle a confirmation."

After living in the Hou Mansion for so long, she really had to tell the Gu family about moving back to the Shen residence.

Shen Yanqiu helped her up and waved her hand to bring her a cup of hot tea, along with several plates of Jiangzhou snacks.

"They have taken care of you for so many years, so you should talk to them. But you are young, so you can't say this."

"I'll pick a time tomorrow and tell them the news when I visit them. After you go back today, pack your things."

"We have everything at home, just pick out what you like and put the rest at Gu's house."

Shen Yanqiu's tone was not one of negotiation. He had a very tough attitude on whether Shen Qiqi should return to Shen's house.

The other party was an elder. Shen Qiqiu wanted to refuse, but she couldn't say anything.

Although they were one family, after living in the Gu Mansion for ten years, she wanted to stay in that small courtyard rather than suddenly go to a strange place.

"Qiqi, is there anything you want to say?"

"Let's make an agreement first. The uncle next to you can agree to it, but moving back is non-negotiable."

This was the only thing she wanted to say. Now that her words were blocked, Shen Qiqi pursed her lips and shook her head after a few breaths.

"Well, since I don't have any objections, it's decided like this."

"You guys, take your sister to her yard and have a look. If she feels uncomfortable in any way, you can instruct her to change her."

Shen Yanqiu is getting older and traveling all the way, and his body really can't hold it anymore.

"Qiqi, uncle, let's go and rest for a while. Let some brothers accompany you for a walk. Let's have a meal together later."

Shen Qiqi stood up and saluted. After Shen Yanqiu turned in from behind, she whispered to Jin Ding to go back and send a message.

"You go back and tell your cousin not to wait for me for lunch. I'll come back after I have lunch."

When her elders leave food for her, she is naturally obliged to do so.

Jinbao responded and told Yinbao to keep an eye on Shen Qiqi before saluting.

After leaving Shen's house, she looked back at the huge plaque on the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

There weren't many servants in Shen's residence, at least she didn't see many along the way, but the atmosphere was really torturous.

All of them have low eyebrows and a pleasant look, and their bodies are more or less smelling of books. You can tell at a glance that they have eaten ink.

The entire Shen Mansion, including the pavilions, pavilions, corridors and courtyards, clearly belonged to a scholarly family. She felt it was a sin to speak even slightly loudly inside.

If the girl returns to the Shen family, as a personal maid, she will definitely follow.

When he thought about having to lower his voice when speaking in the future, Jinbao felt that his future was dark.

Especially after I went back to report, the air seemed to be frozen, and the coldness was like a poisonous snake, crawling arrogantly on my body.

"Prepare the horse."

Just when she felt like she was going to die from the cold, the other party finally spoke.

Jinbao felt like he was surviving a disaster. After going out, he patted his chest and prepared his horse.

Lunch.The room was silent.

He said he wanted to eat, but none of the six people present were willing to use chopsticks first.

Shen Qiqi looked at Shen Yanqiu and saw that he was unhappy, so she reached out her hand and quietly pulled the hem of Gu Tingshu's clothes.

Gu Tingshu originally wanted to pick her up and leave, but she couldn't please the elder, so he could only sit down together.

He was reluctant at first, but now seeing the other person's eyes full of displeasure, he felt better.

"These are Jiangzhou dishes. See if they suit your taste. If not, we will go back and eat them again."

In front of everyone, these words were too arrogant, but Shen Yanqiu didn't speak, so Shen Jinshi and the others could only sit there honestly, not even able to reply.

Shen Qiqi's food was not very good before, so she was not picky about food. She could eat the food no matter where it was.

However, due to the intense tension at the scene, no matter how delicious the food was, it tasted like nothing in the mouth.

The meal was tasteless, and Shen Qiqi didn't eat much. When she stopped using her chopsticks, Gu Tingshu pulled her to leave.

Seeing Shen Qiqi's obedient look, Shen Yanqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a light flashed through them.

He raised his hand to stop the two of them, "Wait a minute."

"I have something to say to the Marquis of Zhenbei. I wonder if the Marquis of Zhenbei could give me a favor and go to the study to discuss it in detail?"

Gu Tingshu glanced at Shen Qiqi next to him, saw the pleading in her eyes, and nodded after a moment.

After all, they were her elders, and if they didn't give him any face, she would probably get sulky.

"Go and sit in the courtyard with Jinbao for a while. I'll be back later."

Shen Yanqiu's words did not evade Shen Jinshi's brothers. When he went to the study, he saw them following him without saying anything.

It didn't take long for them to talk in detail, but when Gu Tingshu came back, his face was very bad.

"Cousin, what did you say?"

I haven't seen him look so heavy in such a long time.

"It's nothing, it's just that your uncle showed his affection and reasoned with me and asked me to allow you to move back."

It's true that emotion leads to rationality, but this rationality doesn't make Gu Tingshu very happy.

He already had this look on his face, and Shen Qiqi knew the result without asking.

Knowing that he would not even spare her, Shen Qiqi pursed her lips tightly, and her tears almost fell uncontrollably.

"Don't worry, it's only temporary. You will move back soon."

If we move back again, it will no longer be the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, but the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Qiqi was in a bad mood and was not very willing to speak. When she returned to the Hou Mansion, she couldn't even say enough to slap her.

"Isn't my cousin busy?"

She seemed to be angry, and when Gu Tingshu followed, she issued a not-so-straightforward expulsion order.

"It's not too late."

He hurried back anxiously. Of course he had something big to do, but since he had already run out of the palace, he naturally didn't miss this moment.

"Then cousin doesn't want to take a lunch break?"

"Shen Qi, what do you want to say?"

She didn't say it clearly, but Gu Tingshu just pretended that he didn't understand what she meant and still followed her to Qingzhu Xiaozhu.
