Value peace

Chapter 268 Sudden change

The people from the Xu family came the day after Mrs. Xu delivered the spirit. It was Xu Hongwen, the third son of Xu Zhen. He was in his forties. , Indescribably affectionate.

On behalf of the Xu family, he offered incense in front of Mrs. Xu's memorial tablet, and then said something on the scene with Qi Maosheng, and Qi Maosheng found an excuse to let Qi Yuzhi sit with Xu Hongwen for a while.

When the two were alone together, Xu Hongwen did not care about the cause of Mrs. Xu's death as Qi Yuzhi expected, but asked him: "What about your properties in Xizhao? Let us take care of them, or don't send someone to Tube!"

Qi Yuzhi was stunned, and after a long time murmured: "What does uncle mean?"

Xu Hongwen took a sip of tea slowly and said, "According to me, don't move or stay still. Of course, it depends on you in the end."

Qi Yuzhi looked at Xu Hongwen and smiled coldly, and said, "Then follow my uncle's wishes!"

Xu Hongwen didn't take Qi Yuzhi's attitude seriously, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this. Speaking of which, your life is better than ours. You don't know yet, the queen gave birth to a son, and all the civil and military officials in the court clamored to establish his son. For the prince. If the prince is really established, you will be the uncle of the future emperor... How can you pay attention to this little thing, what do you think?"

Qi Yuzhi's expression was a little dazed.

The queen gave birth to a son-in-law, and then the Fang family... In this way, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me to get out of this quagmire!

He had no intention of entertaining Xu Hongwen, so he called a steward to accompany Xu Hongwen, and returned to Xianji Courtyard on the pretext of having something to do.

After Mrs. Xu's death, everyone was busy with the funeral arrangements. After sending off the coffin, there were still some trivial matters to be dealt with in the accounts. The family members were all busy with these. Even Qi Maosheng couldn't leave Huan County immediately. No one will pay attention to the question of whether to stay or not, so the couple has been living in Xianjiyuan.

Along the way, the courtyard of Xianji was quiet, and in the midsummer season, it was deserted and there was a smell of decay.

He couldn't help standing in the courtyard.

The previous Xianjiyuan was not like this.

He remembered that even in autumn, clumps of beautiful chrysanthemums would bloom beside the steps.

Qi Yuzhi stopped and walked, lost in a daze and didn't know where to go. When he noticed the scenery around him, he was already in the plum grove next to Shuxiang Pavilion.

He heard someone talking in Merlin.

"Do you know, if Yuguan finds out, what will he think?"

Qi Yuzhi was stunned.

That was Shaoqin's voice.

what do you know?Why would you be unhappy?
There was a faint bad premonition in his heart, which sent a chill down his spine.

Could it be that Shaoqin also has something to hide from him?
"Girl, Mrs. Xu agreed to that too!" Nanny Shi's voice was full of sophistry, unwillingness, and grievance.

"Grandmother agreed!" Fang Shaoqin said coldly, "She can't speak, who would believe you... who would believe that grandma would allow you to smother her to death!"

Suffocate!

Nanny Shi smothered Grandma to death!

It turned out that Nanny Shi next to Shaoqin smothered her grandmother to death!

Qi Yuzhi just felt that the world was spinning, and there was nowhere to rely on in the chaotic world.

"It's true!" Nanny Shi defended anxiously, "That night, I saw my uncle was so tired that he fell asleep on the edge of the bed, and I was about to shake him awake, but when I approached, I heard Mrs. Xu talking to me. Talking 'hey', I, I..."

"You just remembered what Nanny Yi said, thinking that if Mrs. Xu is dead, Yuguan and I can go back to Peanut Alley, and we will be safe... right?" Fang Shaoqin asked in a sad voice, "So you made a temporary decision , smothered grandma to death with something..."

"No, no, no" Nanny Shi panicked, "At that time, Mrs. Xu was still smiling, really, girl, I really didn't lie to you, she was still smiling..."

"If you say this, who will believe it..." Fang Shaoqin hadn't finished speaking, and there was a "crack" sound of branches being trampled in the silent forest, which was so clear and shocking.

"Who?" Fang Shaoqin's voice was stern.

Between the knotted plum tree poles, Qi Yuzhi's indifferent face, as frosty as snow, was exposed.

"Yu, Yuguan..." Fang Shaoqin's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he stepped back a few steps until he stood up against a tree.

******
Gu Xiyan was full of surprise.

"You said Wu Qi sent another envoy to propose marriage to Hong Luan!"

Qi Maosheng nodded: "I don't want her to marry so far...Xi Yan, you are a mother, and I want to hear your opinion."

Gu Xiyan sternly said: "I agree to let her marry!"

Qi Maosheng looked at her in astonishment.

"Qi Maosheng, you bastard!" Gu Xiyan twisted his arm fiercely, "Since you don't agree with her marrying so far, you still come to ask my opinion... Play word games with me, eh!"

Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan's white fingers, his heart skipped a beat, he grabbed her hand and took a bite in his mouth.

Gu Xiyan didn't expect Qi Maosheng to be like this, her focus was unsteady, and she threw herself into Qi Maosheng's arms with an "ouch".

Xi Yan could no longer smell the faint elegant fragrance, and her whole body was filled with the fragrance of milk.

Gu Xiyan's plump breasts that he couldn't grasp suddenly appeared in Qi Maosheng's mind.

His heart fluttered, and he bit Gu Xiyan's ear and whispered: "Xiyan, you've been there for two months!" His voice was deep and hoarse, and his passion was rolling.

Gu Xiyan didn't understand the moxibustion hot eyes, but Mrs. Xu just came out of spirit... She couldn't help but squinted at him, and said coquettishly: "Maosheng, this is the period of filial piety!"

Qi Maosheng said "Oh", with a very cold expression, he slowly put down Gu Xiyan's hand, and called Duan Niang to come in: "You take Brother Tun to Mrs. Wei... I have something to discuss with Mrs. !"

Duanniang looked at Qi Maosheng's blunt expression, then at Gu Xiyan's puzzled expression, and murmured in her heart: Just now when the master came in, he looked unhappy, could it be that there was a quarrel?
Even though he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to slacken his feet at all, and hurriedly hugged Brother Tun to Mrs. Wei's place.

"What's wrong with you..." Gu Xiyan covered her mouth and smiled.

Don't get angry because of such a rejection!

Before she finished speaking, her body was picked up by the air.

Qi Maosheng muttered vaguely: "Well, during the filial piety period... I see if you can keep it..."

******
Duanniang carried Brother Tun to Mrs. Wei, who was sitting on the kang with a gloomy face, and when she saw Brother Tun, she immediately burst into a smile: "My brother Tun, I'm here to see my grandmother... little boy, come to me soon Come here..."

Duanniang put Brother Tun, who was circling around with his eyes open, into Mrs. Wei's arms. Baoniang was about to make tea for Duanniang, but Duanniang hurriedly stopped her: "I treat my sister as one of my own, you can't treat me as an outsider." !"

Bao Niang laughed and said, "If that's the case, then I won't be polite to you!"

Mrs. Wei hugged Brother Tun, and Brother Tun looked at her and smiled.When Madam Wei saw it, she couldn't tell how happy she was, and coaxed him with a smile: "Brother Tun, let's marry your sister to Jindi, and see if she dares to stare at you in the future!"

Duanniang was startled, and said: "Miss San, do you want to marry to Jin?"

"Yeah!" Mrs. Wei replied casually, "who can bear her temper... I think the only way to get married is to go to Jin. For the sake of the peace of Jin, the Duke of Jin naturally dare not neglect her... ...There is no eternal love, only eternal interests. As long as our Qi family does not fail for a day, then the Wu family will not be afraid of anything... Our Brother Tun also has a brother-in-law who is the Duke of the country. Brother Tun, you say, Okay!" The last sentence was a joke of Brother Dou Tun.

Duanniang thought of the faces of Qi Maosheng and his wife just now.

Is it because of this dispute?

I am the one who knows the young lady's eccentric temper best. He always talks about love between men and women. Could it be that he said this in front of the master, so...

Thinking of this, she felt a little uneasy, chatted with Mrs. Wei, and Duanniang found an excuse to go back to the Liyuan.

After entering the Liyuan, I heard Mo Ju's voice faintly coming from the Nuan Pavilion, but there was no person on duty in the yard.

Could it be that the girls were also dismissed!But don't start arguing, there is no one to persuade you!

Duanniang hesitated for a moment, and decided to listen first.

Going to the eaves to listen carefully, I heard only panting and Gu Xiyan begging for mercy in a low voice: "Maosheng, it's my fault, don't do this, please..." The voice is mellow and charming, gorgeous and seductive.

Duanniang couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

It turned out that it was because of this that the master asked Brother Tun to be taken to Mrs. Wei's house... I was worried before that the girl's hair was disheveled all day long, and I was afraid that the master would no longer remember it, but I didn't expect...

However, this matter should not be passed on, or else...

******
In the early morning of the next day, Qi Maosheng, Qi Xiao and Qi Yuzhi all gathered in Qinyuan and invited the fourth uncle to clean up Mrs. Xu's things.

Qi Maosheng proposed that, except for the family heirlooms of the Qi family to stay in the Qi mansion, everything else should belong to Qi Yuzhi.

Qi Xiao also agreed.

Qi Yuzhi said: "I have already divided the government, and the grandmother's things naturally belong to the two uncles. I don't want..."

Qi Xiao was startled, and said: "This is the second brother's decision, so you don't need to say more."

What else Qi Yuzhi wanted to say, Qi Maosheng had already asked Siping to ask the old lady in Fengxiang Hutong to take Mrs. Cui to the Xianji Courtyard to count things.

It was Fang Shaoqin who received them.

She is like a puppet, what does the old lady say to Cui Shi, what she should do, completely lost her usual wit.Cui looked at it and shook her head, all she could do was to persuade her to "sorrow and accept change".

Basically everything in the account book is there, only a few commonly used items such as jade bracelets are missing. This daily wear and tear is also a common occurrence.

As for Mrs. Xu's funeral, that's basically it. It will be over when the monument is erected on the Ching Ming Festival next year.

Everyone had been busy all day, and in the evening, Qi Maosheng left the fourth uncles for dinner, while the female relatives were accompanied by Gu Xiyan.

After the entertainment, when the couple met, Gu Xiyan discussed about Qi Maosheng Cuiyu and Hongyu's marriage.

They are registered maidservants, following the master's family, and Mrs. Xu died, if the marriage cannot be done within a hundred days, it will have to wait for three years.

Fortunately for Cuiyu, both of them were young, but Jiang Qingfeng couldn't wait.

Qi Maosheng was very happy in the past two days, so he kissed Gu Xiyan on the cheek with a bang: "Don't worry, Shen Shiya is tossing around in Longdong County, we are watching the fire from the other side, and we are idle! When I arrive in He County , call Jiang Qingfeng back... Let them get married as soon as possible, that's fine!"

Xing Yu next to her covered her mouth and smiled.

When Qi Maosheng saw it, he smiled and said, "Find a good home for this little girl too!"

Xing Yu's face flushed with shame, and she ran away in a hurry.

Gu Xiyan gave Qi Maosheng a hard pinch, and said in a low voice, "Go crazy!"

Qi Maosheng laughed and licked Gu Xiyan: "I'll go crazy and show you..."
