Value peace

Chapter 166 Returning to the Qi Mansion

On the five-inch high and three-inch wide agarwood sign, there were Qi Ji, Qi Zhan, Qi Yu, Qi Yu, whom she had heard of before... more, names she was not familiar with.

The two had already knelt down to worship their ancestors, and Qi Maosheng pointed to the names on the sign and told her one by one, who, what did they do for the Qi family, and who, what did the Qi family lose...History is like a scroll , gradually appeared in Gu Xiyan's eyes.

Finally, Qi Maosheng's eyes fell on Qi Shu's tablet: "Here, there should be Qi Han's tablet..."

Did he think of his expulsion for unknown reasons?
Gu Xiyan couldn't help walking over and holding Qi Maosheng's hand.

Qi Maosheng turned around and saw the worry in Gu Xiyan's eyes.

He let out a long breath, took Gu Xiyan's hand and walked to the railing outside.

The streets like slender streets, the flickering lights, in the night, the entire Yongzhou City is at their feet.

The two stood quietly against the railing, the cool night wind gently patted on their bodies, and the skirts of their clothes made the sound of hunting.

Qi Maosheng pointed to the location of Gongshunyuan: "Look, that is Gongshunyuan!"

Gu Xiyan looked along his hand.

The square Gongshun Courtyard was divided into blocks, and each courtyard was like a small square without a trace of light. Looking from Yu Nian Pavilion, although it was neat, it looked dull and lifeless.

"Qi Han and Qi Xiao and I grew up there. Speaking of which, Qi Han's mother was still Mrs. Wei's personal maid, but I have been close to Qi Xiao since I was a child. In my memory, Mrs. Zhou would take her with her every morning. Let Qi Xiao come over to greet Mrs. Wei... On the Lantern Festival when I was seven years old, I came back from Northwest Daying and met Qi Han on the way back to Huaiyuan. Not only did he not salute me, but he also said, 'my mother said Yes, I am the elder brother'..."

"What do you mean?" Gu Xiyan only felt that these words made people panic.

A strange light flashed in Qi Maosheng's eyes: "Qi Han was born prematurely, and I was born on the same day. It is said that the two of us are even at about the same time. In the end, it was my father who spoke, and I became an older brother."

Gu Xiyan looked at him in shock.

Qi Maosheng nodded: "I will become the eldest son of the concubine."

No heir to stand up!

"Then, what Qi Han... said..." Gu Xiyan stuttered a little.

"I was young at the time, and I didn't understand the importance of this matter... People from all over the world were spreading rumors that my father liked Concubine Shui the most... But I found it disgusting. Losing face, Qi Han now says that he is the elder brother, and I am the younger brother, and he is clearly bullying me because of his father's love... At that time, I was just sent to the Northwest Camp, and I was not used to many places, and I was annoyed. , without saying a word, stepped forward and gave him a hard meal..."

As soon as Gu Xiyan heard it, she thought of a lively and lovely Qi Maosheng. That scene must be very interesting.

But the message revealed in Maosheng's words made her unable to laugh.

Qi Maosheng's face was condensed, and his whole body was immersed in the memory: "Qi Han ran back to Guiyuan weeping, and after a while, my father came. I was sitting in the small kitchen in Huaiyuan, eating deliciously. Seeing the stewed bamboo shoots and pork belly stewed by Wang Momo, his face was livid, and he questioned me, saying, "I sent you to the Northwest Day Camp, so that you can practice your skills and beat your younger brother"..."

Gu Xiyan faintly felt that there was a lot to write about, so she couldn't help asking: "Then what do you say?"

"Let me just say, Qi Han said he was my elder brother. Since that's the case, he should know that respecting the old and loving the young is the way to go... Why was he beaten by his younger brother, and he still has the face to go to the elders to sue? If it was me, I would look for it." Let's talk about this place first..." Qi Maosheng's expression was a little sad, "My father's face changed drastically when he heard this, he grabbed my skirt, lifted me out of the small kitchen, and asked sternly Me, 'Who said that'. I faintly felt that something was wrong at the time. Although my father was strict, he rarely had a straight face with me. I was very scared, but I didn't want to be too cowardly in front of him. I just sneered and said, 'Who else, of course, is Qi Han who claims to be the second child! He wants me to salute him'... I raised my fist at my father on the spot and said, 'Tell you, he wants to be Brother can, just beat my fist and say'... I had already started practicing Moxibustion Yang Jue at that time, with a little success, I wanted to compete with others all day long..."

"When my father heard this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately threw me to the ground. As soon as I straightened up, I stood up and saw Mrs. Wei leaning against the door frame of the corner door with a cold face. My father also saw Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei yelled, 'This is the good son you taught'..."

"Madam Wei must be very angry to see your father treating you like this!" Gu Xiyan said.

Qi Maosheng looked in the direction of Gongshun Courtyard, with a sad expression on his face, "Mrs. Wei didn't say anything, just gave Father a cold look, then turned and left."

Qi Maosheng had a sad expression on his face.

Noble background, humble status... there are many sad memories!

Gu Xiyan couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but hugged Qi Maosheng as if to comfort her.

Qi Maosheng hugged her back, with a look of reminiscence on his face: "That night, my father rested in the locust garden. Early the next morning, he sent Bao Niang to take Aunt Shui, Mrs. Zhou, Qi Han and Qi Xiao called to Huaiyuan, and said that it was the Lantern Festival, and taking advantage of the presence of several children, everyone gathered together... Mrs. Zhou also cooked for her father under her father's orders, and made her father's favorite glutinous rice balls... ... She used to be my grandmother's personal girl, she cooks good food, and often cooks for me and Qi Xiao... But I hate glutinous rice balls the most, they are sticky and tasteless... As soon as he came, all kinds of glutinous rice balls would be made in the small kitchen. In order to please him, Mrs. Wei forced me to eat too... Among the sons, I was the only one who went to Northwest Daying. I was annoyed and turned my head So I ran to hide in the firewood room in the small kitchen... Aunt Shui looked at Qi Han as if she was an eyeball, she always said "our Qi Han" and so on, and Madam Zhou also took Qi Xiao with her wherever she went. , When I saw him, I laughed into my eyes... Only Mrs. Wei, I started to stride when I was three years old. If my posture is not good, the wicker will be drawn on my body, and I won't let Bao Niang and the others beat me. I beat it with my own hands, as if stained with mercury. It hurts my life... Although our relationship is not close, I will not skip three meals, and there is always something I like to eat in the small kitchen... But that day, no one came to look for it until the meal time I... I lost my temper, so I opened the back door of the firewood room and ran out... Everyone in Gongshun Courtyard was in Huaiyuan, quietly. I wandered outside alone for a long time, and I was really hungry. Then I sneaked back from the firewood house to Huaiyuan's small kitchen..."

What happened to Qi Han...is about to happen...

Gu Xiyan's heart clenched tightly, she couldn't help but grabbed Qi Maosheng's sleeve.

"There was a lot of laughter outside, and I could still hear Aunt Shui's flattering laughter... I was so angry that I could only tremble... I, I have always been worthless for Mrs. Wei... I have been gone for so long At that time, no one noticed... I didn't want to go to the front hall to eat, so I opened the steamer and ate meat buns. When Wang Momo saw it, she advised me, "Maosheng, your father likes you the most, so go to him Shaking, he will be happy too', I was so hungry at the time, I was eating happily, without raising my head, I said, 'You all said that he likes me the most, if he likes me the most, then let him give me the title, I just believe he likes me the most'..."

Gu Xiyan looked at Qi Maosheng in shock.

Qi Maosheng nodded.

"What I said was just angry words...Who knew, there was a frightened expression on Madam Wang's face. I thought she was frightened by my words, so I comforted her with a smile and said, don't be afraid, I just Just kidding. My grandfather told me that I am a bastard and cannot be a noble. He told me to go back to the Wei family when I grow up. He also said that all the things in the Wei family will be mine in the future, up to a piece of tile. , I won’t give even a single needle to others, even Mrs. Wei and my aunt, don’t even think about it..."

Gu Xiyan interjected a little tongue-tied: "Your grandfather, did you really say that?"

It can be seen that Qi Maosheng has a very good relationship with his grandfather.When he mentioned his grandfather, he showed a gentle smile: "I said it, and I said it in front of all the relatives of the Wei family one year when the Wei family worshiped the ancestors... He has no son, and my aunt gave birth to five daughters. Like a baby, if I hadn’t become a prince, I might have really gone back to the Wei family... The Wei family started from selling horses, and there were seven horse farms in total. The best horses..."

"What then?"

"Nurse Wang just blinked at me. I didn't think about it that much at the time. I continued, don't worry, the Wei family will be mine by then, and I will do whatever I say. I will take you all away, so we don't have to look at it." Mrs. Xu's complexion changed, and my mother didn't have to pretend to be sick every day in order not to please Mrs. Xu... Wang Momo looked behind me, and I suddenly understood. When I turned around, I saw my father standing behind me with an angry face Staring at me... I was shocked and ran out. Before I could run out of the small kitchen, I heard lung-piercing cries from the main room. I didn't hear clearly why someone was crying, but I remember very clearly that my father looked at me with strange eyes... as if very sad, but also very relieved... I have never seen it on a person's face Such an expression, never before, never in the future..."

"Maosheng..." Gu Xiyan called Qi Maosheng's name, but found that her teeth were chattering, "It's not that you three brothers grabbed the glutinous rice balls, that's why..."

"I don't know who said that, but I wasn't there at the time." Qi Maosheng retracted his arms and hugged Gu Xiyan tightly. "Mrs. Wei married into Qi's family when she was 14 years old. My father is 16 years older than her...It is said that when she married, Mrs. Xu was ill and she didn't even drink the bridal tea...so she and Mrs. Xu never had a relationship. When we met, when my father was there, every time something happened, she would say that she was 'ill', and my father didn't force her... Even when my father died, Mrs. Wei didn't go to the mourning hall to watch for my father..."

Gu Xiyan was speechless: "They, they have lived together for more than [-] years, and they haven't met each other?"

Qi Maosheng nodded with certainty: "At the beginning, my father let Mrs. Wei stand in the way and blocked her. Later, when I accepted the title, I clearly hinted at Mrs. Xu several times, saying that since Mrs. Wei is not in good health Okay, don't try to win her over... Mrs. Xu has always followed the rules all these years, so there are some things that I can't do too much. When it comes to Mrs. Wei, I have been very worried..." Qi Maosheng's eyes were gloomy, "After her father died, her mood was very unstable, and she always liked to dig through some old accounts... I wanted to put Hongluan by her side for her to take care of, and let her have a sustenance, but Ye Zisu died. I don’t agree, and I couldn’t make it clear, and I was worried that she would do something absurd in a fit of anger, so I had to invite someone from the Asura Gate to guard the second gate..."

It turned out to be for Mrs. Wei!

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but be shocked.

Looking at Gu Xiyan's surprised expression, Qi Maosheng couldn't help but smiled wryly: "She has a bad temper, I'm really afraid that she will do something that I can't make up for...but she is very skilled, so I invited several people back and forth. The so-called masters of the martial arts are all in her hands... There is no other way, so I invited people from the Shura sect. No matter what, they are always from the same sect, and they always have some affection for each other, so they are safe. Some... In the future, if you have anything to do, take care of her... Speaking of which, as a son, I have never allowed her to live a comfortable life..."
