blue bird song

Chapter 78
In the winter of the second year of Hongzhi, Xuanchengbo Qizhen's family returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors and returned to the capital.The Qi family now lives in Ping'an Avenue, and the Xuancheng uncle's mansion is magnificent and majestic, and it is a new family of powerful people in the capital.

As soon as Qi Zhen just returned to Beijing, he was blocked by officials from the Ministry of Rites, discussing every detail of the Prince Jin's personal welcome.Marrying a wife in the royal family is actually the same as that in the folk, but the etiquette is more complicated. Qi Zhen listened carefully and wrote down one by one.

Deng Qi personally urged the servants to move all the red sandalwood beds, cabinets, tables, and chairs to Qi's house like water, and looked at Qi Zhen angrily, "Obviously she is my daughter!" Qi Zhen handed over the procedures written by the Ministry of Rites to Qi Zhen Deng Qi, "Why don't you try instead?" Deng Qi read it carefully, handed it back to Qi Zhen, and asked in a low voice, "I'm sorry to trouble you." Qi Zhen has a lot to do, and he is not Niu Niu's relative. Dad, it's hard.

Qi Zhen smiled, and asked Deng Qi to sit down in the living room for tea, "Niuniu has something to do, you sit down first." Deng Qi took a few sips of tea to moisten his throat, and asked Qi Zhen, "What is Niuniu busy?" Qi Zhen coughed With a voice, "I picked up a box from the old house, and Niuniu refused to monopolize it, and wanted to share it with my younger siblings. At this moment, the three siblings should be discussing it."

Deng Qi couldn't sit still anymore, jumped up and stammered and asked: "Her, her younger siblings are here?"

Qi Zhen's heart was slightly sunburned, and he said lightly: "Her aunt came with a pair of children, and she is now in the back house."

Deng Qi's face turned pale.

Qi Zhen remembered the evil things he did back then, and snorted coldly.The man in front of him is Niu Niu's own father, and in Niu Niu's face, he can't do anything to him, but no matter how you look at him, he is not pleasing to the eye!Back then, as long as he had a little integrity and a little humanity, he would not stop his wife and remarry, and the young lady, mother and daughter almost died.

"Yu'er is here, Yu'er is here." Deng Qi thought dizzily, "She is at Qi's house, very close to me. Maybe I can see her when I leave the living room."

Deng Qi looked dazed, and got up to go out.Qi Zhen stood up in front of him, looking at him coldly and sternly.

In the back house, Qing Que pointed to the opened iron box and told Qi Yu, Xue Yang, and Xue Hui, "Inside this box, there is a book of war, a sword, and many jewels. My grandfather left his last words in the box, the book of war and the sword. It’s for my uncle and uncle, and all the jewelry is left to my mother. My uncle and uncle have passed away, and my surname is Qi, so I have the book of war and the sword for myself. The jewelry is not for me, I don’t want it.”

Qi Yu's nose was sour, and she shook her head, "Didn't I agree, the treasures in this iron box are all yours. Qing Que, I didn't know what was in this box before. If I knew that there were military books and swords, I would have I will come out and give it to you. You can also have more self-defense weapons."

Xue Yang looked at Qing Que domineeringly, "Hey, art of war and sword are priceless treasures, right? You've got them all." Qing Que patted her and laughed, "Ah Yang is not stupid! These jewels are very valuable, but there is always a price. Art of war and sword, you can't estimate the price."

"Then, let me have a look at the book of war, and lend me the sword." Xue Yang cheated.

"The book of war, you really don't understand." Qing Que smiled at Mimi, "Is it a sword, A Yang, you can't lift it, it's an epee."

Xue Yang gave her a big white eye.

Xue Hui is already ten years old. He is usually spoiled by his parents, older brothers and sisters. He is often mischievous and less sensible.At this moment, looking at the heavy iron box lifted out of his grandfather's house, he acted like a little adult, "Sister, when I grow up, you can teach me the art of war slowly, okay? I want to learn from ten thousand people." enemy."

The ten-year-old Xue Hui was already tall, only half a head lower than Qingque.Qing Que smiled and patted him, "Okay, Ah Hui, if you want to learn, my sister will teach you."

Xue Hui nodded, pointed to the jewels in the box and said, "I'm a man, so I don't need this, you two should share it." Xue Yang stuck out his tongue at Qing Que narrowly, "I'm not going out of the pavilion, so I use it too." no!"

Qi Yu said emotionally: "Your grandfather and grandmother had a noble temperament, and they would not pay attention to ordinary things such as jewelry and jade. Although the three of you have different temperaments, you are all alike in this regard."

In the end, Qi Yu made the decision and divided the jewels into three shares, each of Qing Que, Xue Yang and Xue Hui.

Xuancheng Bo's Mansion is Qi Yu's natal family.Qi Yu returned to her natal family in the Uncle's Mansion in Xuancheng, Mrs. Uncle was her former maid Yingniang, so naturally she wanted to treat her grandly.Sitting in the magnificent hall of Xuancheng Bo's Mansion, Qi Yu looked at Qing Que, Xue Yang, Xue Hui who were talking and laughing at Yan Yan, and Ying Niang who was affectionate and respectful, really felt like a lifetime away.

That year, there were lightning, thunder, and violent wind and rain, and Qingque was just born. Yingniang stood beside her bed with her in her arms, with a look of fear on her face... She never thought that such a day would come.

"Qi Zhen, Yingniang, are your parents." Qi Yu called Qing Que, and said with difficulty, "Without them, you would have died long ago, and so would I. Qing Que, they are not your adoptive fathers." Stepmother, is your real parents."

"I know." Qing Que giggled, "Daddy Yingniang, and Mommy Mo, Shidashishiniang, they are all the same, they are all my parents."

Qingque smiled brilliantly, but Qi Yu felt heartache and embarrassment.After sitting for a while, no matter how Yingniang tried to persuade her to stay, she insisted on leaving.

When going out to get in the car, Qi Yu felt a scorching gaze on him.Looking up, there was a man quietly and independently on the corner of the street, staring at him obsessively.

Mu Mu raised his feet and got on the carriage, the curtain was lowered, Qi Yu's tears fell like rain.That is the childhood sweetheart I grew up with, the beloved whom I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, he is old, the once handsome and elegant boy is also old now.

Deng Qi, Deng Qi, Deng Qi... Qi Yu called this name over and over again in his heart, wanting to accuse and question him righteously why he broke his promise, and wanted to tell him that I, Qi Yuli, lived well without you, but I wanted to pounce on him even more. He wept in his arms, telling his grievances and hardships.

Do you know how happy I was when I put on your wedding dress for you?I was full of tenderness and planned to stay with you forever and grow old, but you left me halfway, which made me feel so miserable.

Qi Yu returned to Yangwuhou Mansion with a dazed expression, and went directly to her room to sleep, ignoring anyone.Xue Neng was worried, and Xue Yang told him quietly, "Mother will inevitably feel sad when she sees my grandfather's relics." Xue Neng sighed, deeply aware of his wife's filial piety.

Qi Yu was probably too sad, and when the time came, his face was flushed, his forehead was hot, and he had a fever.Xue Neng panicked, and hurriedly asked a doctor to have a look, and prescribed a prescription for decoction, and fed it to Qi Yu.Xue Yang and others heard the news and were persuaded by Xue Neng to go back, "Don't bother your mother, just go back."

The next day Qingque found out and came over to visit.Xue Yang took her to Qi Yu's sick bed, frowning, "I was fine yesterday, but I fell ill for some reason."

Qi Yu's face was flushed, her lips were dry, Qing Que sat beside her bed and moistened her lips with a wet handkerchief.Qi Yu's lips moved slightly, and he cried out in pain, "Deng Qi, Deng Qi."

Very low, but very clear, the two people in the room, Qing Que and Xue Yang, heard them all.Xue Yang's eyes widened in astonishment, Qing Que was moistening her lips, and her hands stopped in mid-air.

Qing Que got off the bed and pulled Xue Yang aside, "A Yang, don't tell Uncle Xue about this, do you understand?" Xue Yang nodded desperately, "Sister, I know, I know!" Qing Que thought for a while, Confess to her in a low voice, "You work harder and watch over your mother sooner or later, okay?" Xue Yang nodded with tears in his eyes, "Okay, I won't leave her for a moment."

Qi Yu who was sick was extremely thin and pitiful, Qing Que sat back beside her bed, looked at her mother in pain in her sleep, and sighed leisurely.

Qing Que touched Qi Yu's hot forehead, frowned slightly, "The fever must be reduced as soon as possible." After thinking for a moment, he wrote Feng ordered people to send him to Jin Wang's mansion, and borrowed his good doctor from A Yuan's mansion.

The king of Jin and Ye Gong, a good doctor of the palace, came together.When Xue Neng heard that King Jin was coming, he rushed out to greet him. King Jin politely supported him, "I heard that Mrs. Your Majesty's body is slightly ill, and I came to visit alone. Master Xue Hou, this is Ye Yizheng." Xue Neng Overjoyed, "I have admired him for a long time! Ye Yizheng is a master of apricot forest, with superb medical skills, and he will be able to cure the disease. Please work, please work!" Qin Qin let Ye Yizheng in.

Ye Yizheng was indeed a master, once the medicine was applied, Qi Yu's fever subsided a little.Xue Neng was very relieved, smiled and said to Qingque: "Qingque, come back, I am here." Seeing his simple and honest smile, Qingque couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, please. Xue Neng smiled, "Silly boy, she is my wife." Qing Que walked out quickly with a sore nose.

Xue Yang came out to send Qing Que, Qing Que stopped and looked at her fixedly, "A Yang, cherish what you have. Don't think about what you don't have, understand?" After thinking for a while, he complained: "I don't understand! But I will write it down, and I will think about it slowly."

Qi Yu is sick, and Deng Qi is also sick.

Qing Que and Jin Wang just came out of Yangwuhou Mansion when they were stopped by Deng Qi's servants, "The uncle is sick and drowsy, the Duke ordered the younger one to invite you." Qing Que and Jin Wang exchanged After looking at it, he followed the boy to Duke Ningguo's mansion.

Doctor Ye didn't need to go home anymore, he went with him.

Deng Qi had the same symptoms as Qi Yu, lying on the bed weakly, having a fever, and talking nonsense. "You two are really my real father and mother, even the sickness is exactly the same!" Qing Que looked at Deng Qi dully for a while, took the small bowl on the side, and slowly fed him water.

"Yu'er, Yu'er!" Deng Qi murmured Qi Yu's name.

"This is the same!" Qing Que sighed, feeling helpless towards her own parents.

Ning Guogong didn't expect King Jin to come together, so he stood aside awkwardly, "Niu Niu, he's fine, don't worry, don't worry." Qing Que gave him a blank look, knowing that he's fine, and you made me come here specially!

Doctor Ye was just prescribing the prescription, decocting the medicine, putting it in a beautiful long-mouthed enamel pot, and slowly feeding it to Deng Qi.Deng Qi opened his eyes in a daze, "Niu Niu?" Qing Que coaxed him like a child, "Be good, take the medicine and sleep, and you will be cured." Sure enough, Deng Qi finished drinking the medicine obediently up.

The upper eyelid and the lower eyelid kept fighting, but Deng Qi forced his eyes to stay awake, "Niu Niu, don't go." Qing Que's heart softened, "You have a good sleep, I will guard you, don't go." Deng Qi grinned He smiled, tilted his head, and fell into a deep sleep.

Qing Que wrung out a veil from the warm water and put it on Deng Qi's forehead. King Jin also came over to help wring the veil.The palms of the two hands touched each other inadvertently in the water, both of them blushed and their hearts were beating, the tingling numbness was so sweet.

"How can I bother Your Highness?" Ning Guogong chattered beside him, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

He was talking, when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, it seemed that a woman wanted to come in here, but the servants blocked the door and refused to allow it.Ning Guogong Khan was about to come down, and while repeatedly pleading guilty, he strode out to calm down the situation.

After a while, the noise outside gradually subsided, and when it stopped, Ning Guogong also came back in embarrassment.

Ning Guogong had two fresh scratches on his face.Qing Que leaned over to look, exclaimed, "Have you been scratched by a cat again?" Duke Ning nodded his head, "It was caught by an old cat." Qing Que turned his back and snickered with A Yuan.

"Didn't you get caught by the old cat last time? Don't lock her up either." Qing Que secretly smiled for a while, and asked Ning Guogong curiously.

"I think so, the big cat is not happy." Ning Guogong snorted, "This old cat is nothing, the big cat is very difficult to deal with."

Qing Que couldn't help it, lying on the table, her shoulders shaking with laughter.King Jin went over to complain, "Don't laugh any more, your stomach will hurt." As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Que covered his stomach with both hands, "I'm dying of laughter."

Ning Guogong blushed, he didn't want to leave, he didn't want to stay, it was very embarrassing.

Ning Guogong resentfully said, "Niu Niu, she is my son's biological mother. For my son's sake, I can't really do anything to her."

Deng Qi woke up at some point, and sat up angrily, "I really don't understand, why did my daughter provoke her? Are you going to have trouble with my girl?"

When he stood up and made a sound, it was really scary.Qingque rushed over, "Are you awake? Are you thirsty, hungry, do you want some water?" He poured a bowl of hot water from the kettle and handed it to him.

Deng Qi was happy, "My daughter is the best!" He picked up the bowl and drank up the water in one go, and yelled at Ning Guogong: "Grandfather, take care of her, if she makes things difficult for my daughter, I will not obey!"

Ning Guogong turned dark, "What nonsense are you talking about? Shut up!" Deng Qi put the bowl into Qingque's hand, angrily said, "Niu Niu, my grandmother wants to bring you back, and you will not be allowed to marry for the rest of your life! There have been many troubles! I hate it..." Deng Qi gritted his teeth.

King Jin had been standing quietly on the side all the time. Hearing Deng Qi's words, his eyes became sharper, and he looked at Ning Guogong unceremoniously.Ning Guogong secretly groaned, scolding the Xun family in his heart, and even scolding Deng Qi, "You don't even know that your family's ugliness can't be publicized!"

Qing Que kindly reminded, "It's fine for her to make a fuss in the Ningguo mansion, I don't care. If you let her out of the Ningguo mansion and make trouble outside, people will definitely die."

The Xun family dared to come out and make trouble, and there were too many people who killed her.

King Jin gave Ning Guogong a cold look, and said in a deep voice: "Qingque, let's go!" Qingque looked at Deng Qi and sighed, "Please wait a moment, I'll pour him another bowl of water." Picking up the kettle , poured a bowl of water and handed it to Deng Qi.

Deng Qi was still ignorant, but Ning Guogong felt a chill hit his heart.

Qing Que put down the kettle, and softly told Deng Qi, "It's a good life." Standing up, she walked out side by side with King Jin.

How could Ning Guogong let them go like this, he stood up in front of them.

King Jin's eyes were cold, and Qing Que's eyes were clear, neither of them had any hesitation in their eyes.

"I, I will lock up the Xun family right away, and I will lock up now." Ning Guogong seemed to have made up his mind, "No matter how much the son begs, I will also lock up the Xun family!"

King Jin sneered, "Is it interesting to close it and let it go?" Deng Qi drank another bowl of water, picked up his shoes and got off the ground, and walked towards Ning Guogong, "Grandfather, you have to tell me the truth today. , or suffocate me to death! Tell me, why did my daughter provoke her?" Ning Guogong looked at King Jin, looked at Deng Qi, and sighed, "I really can't help it!"

When Ning Guogong was young, there lived in his family a distant cousin named Xiangxiu.Both of Xiangxiu's parents died, and she grew up living in Deng's family, similar to a child bride.When he was young, Ning Guogong, like Xiangxiu, thought that they would get married and have children and spend their lives together.

Later Ning Guogong joined the army and was promoted step by step from an ordinary soldier to a captain, with a bright future ahead.He is full of plans, and when he is promoted again, he will ask for leave to return to his hometown and marry Xiangxiu.

That year was an unlucky one.His parents died in his hometown one after another. He was in danger on the battlefield of Xuanfu and almost died under the hooves of Tatar cavalry.But he was lucky and fateful, and his boss, General Xun, arrived in time with reinforcements, and their team was saved.

He admired General Xun very much, and General Xun liked him very much.Knowing that both his parents had died and he had not yet married, General Xun boldly proposed to marry his beloved daughter to him.

He was flattered.He wanted to say, "I'm already engaged." He hesitated again and again, but he didn't say it.He and Xiangxiu had never actually engaged in marriage.

The boss, the revered elder, the benefactor who saved his life, he thought about it, he didn't have the nerve to reject General Xun's kindness, and he didn't have the nerve to say to General Xun, "I don't want to marry your daughter."

Not long after he married the Xun family, Xiangxiu came all the way to find him.Knowing that he was married, Xiangxiu slapped him hard, then turned around and left.

Xiangxiu returned to her hometown, soon married a fellow villager, and gave birth to a son.Afterwards, throughout his life, Xiangxiu never mentioned his name again.

When Ning Guogong talked about this past, Deng Qi was confused, "What does this Xiangxiu have to do with my daughter?" Qing Que smiled, "This is my great-grandmother, didn't you hear it?"

Deng Qi said vaguely: "I'm sick, I'm confused." Qing Que helped him to the bed, "You lie down." Deng Qi obediently lay back, "Girl, I still need to drink water." Qing Que fell down A bowl of water was handed to him.

Qing Que looked at Ning Guogong curiously, "I don't understand something, how do you know that she never mentioned your name again in her whole life?" Nothing."

Xiangxiu never mentioned to her son that she had a cousin named Deng Yong.
