Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 159

Xiaoqiao reluctantly left the other courtyard. A married woman is not allowed to stay overnight at her mother's house for three days after her wedding. Tomorrow, her eldest brother, elder sister and sister-in-law will leave, so she is really reluctant.

"Tomorrow we will go see them off together." Seeing that Xiaoqiao was unhappy, Qi Yan said.

Xiaoqiao shook her head and said, "I have already agreed with my sister-in-law and the others today, and I don't need to send them away tomorrow. Anyway, I will go back in a few months." She wants to go to other people's homes in the clan to recognize relatives. This rule cannot be broken because of herself, and she doesn't like the scene of parting either.

"Okay! Then let's go back as soon as possible."

After a few more days of recognizing relatives, it was finally over. I have to say that the population of the Qi family is really large. An old ancestor has bred so many people, and there are many people who are officials outside. The reason why the Qi family is called It's not without reason for a big family. If they really only rely on a grandpa Qi from the direct branch to be an official, they would have fallen by the wayside long ago.

There are people in different branches, such as county magistrates and magistrates, and some are married to various officials. As far as Xiaoqiao knows, the wife of the county magistrate in Kang County is a girl from the Qi family, or a Qi family. As for Yan's elder sister, she just married the county magistrate. The network of relationships is as dense as a spider's web.

The juniors are also continuing to work hard. Didn't Grand Master Qi's eldest son, Qi Tianci, pass the Juren examination?If you can go one step further, you will be a Jinshi. With the title of Jinshi and the contacts of Master Qi, it is easy to enter the officialdom.

The Qi family is not the kind of family with a title, so everyone will not fight to the death for an empty title. Most of them are obtained by reading. Even Qi Yan also passed the Juren examination?

Of course, there are many incompetent among them, like Master Qi Er, who also studied since he was a child, and indeed he didn't even pass the exam for a scholar, and now he is gnawing at home.

After confirming relatives, Xiaoqiao didn't go anywhere, just rested at home, finally there was no such activity.I just don’t know that it takes so much time for the ancestor worship to go on the family tree, but it is said that the ancestor worship also has to choose a good day, it can’t be settled casually, and there are some important people who came back from outside, in short One word etc.

And Qi Yan also has things to deal with during the day, and he has property on hand. If he doesn't get it right, he will have problems supporting his family in the future.

Those who work hard will reap rewards, and those who idle around all day like Master Qi Er can only rely on others.

This day Qi Yan went outside to deal with things again, and there were guests in Xiaoqiao's yard. The guests were a few girls from the mansion, three from the first house, and four from the second house. Today, they followed. The posts are the same, they all came to Xiaoqiao and the others.

Xiaoqiao hurriedly invited people in, and said with a smile, "Why are you all here today?"

Qi Siniang also smiled and said: "I heard that the dim sum here is very delicious, we just came here without invitation, and please ask Third Aunt to take care of us."

Qi Sanniang felt that she was the only heir, and she should have said the first sentence. She didn't expect to be said by Qi Siniang. This Qi Siniang is really annoying. She usually likes to take pictures of her aunt's horses. Fart, now that the new third aunt is about to start flattering her.

Qi Sanniang remembered what her mother told her, this third uncle is a rich man, and it has its own benefits to have a good relationship with this third aunt.So he said: "As long as you are greedy, you have been asking for food with your third aunt since you came here. If you don't know, you may think that the girls in our Qi family are all greedy."

Qi Wuniang followed up and said: "You can't say that. We just ate a few bites, so how can we be called greedy? Besides, this is our own, who would say it? Third aunt The people here will definitely not say it." It means that you, Qi Sanniang, said it yourself.

Xiaoqiao felt that these girls were really worried, and pinched them when they met, but the fighting power of the second room was not very strong, only one Qi Sanniang opened fire, and the other three lowered their heads, no Dare to speak, probably cultivated by Mrs. Qi to be like this.

Xiaoqiao said: "There are snacks here, and there is nothing else that surprises you. Lu Wei, go to the small kitchen and order them, so they can make some special snacks!"

These girls are a little envious. They prepare their meals in the big kitchen. This small kitchen really doesn't have it!Even Qi Sanniang didn't have one!

Originally, their second room also had a small kitchen, but Mrs. Qi was reluctant to pay for it alone, so they also used the big kitchen.A big kitchen does not mean that it is not well done, but it is not as good as a small kitchen alone.

Xiaoqiao chatted with these nieces and daughters, talking about topics they were interested in, and Qi Erniang and others also told Lei Xiaoqiao some interesting things about the provincial capital, such as where the shops with the best jewelry are, and where are the shops Everyone likes silk and satin, and for example, which opera troupe in the provincial capital is the best, which garden is more famous, and where is the most interesting place to go at this time.

Xiaoqiao also listened with gusto, it would be good to listen to this thing more.After a while, the snacks came. Everyone washed their hands and sat down to eat snacks.

The eldest girl in the third room should be called Aunt Qi. When Xiaoqiao heard this for the first time, it was really funny. Such a young girl is called Auntie. Really, this Auntie Qi is the same as the others, from the beginning to the end He didn't say a few words at the end, Xiaoqiao also asked Qi Yan, how old are the girls in the family, this Aunt Qi is 16 years old this year, why hasn't she got married yet?
I'm only 15 years old, so I got married, what a shame!Now she has become someone's aunt.Sad reminder.

But now think about Mrs. Qi Er's temperament, she is very greedy for money, as long as she can get money, it's not a big deal. This Aunt Qi is not her own daughter, but a concubine. She was raised like Qi Er For a wife like this, she must be thinking of selling it for a good price. It's just that people who know the basics know what the second wife of the Qi family is. No one in a better family is willing to marry them.

Bad people probably have no money.This is not just procrastinating, procrastinating into what it is now!

It's just that the Qi family is a big family after all, so we can't keep a girl from marrying forever, Xiaoqiao doesn't worry about the big girl, anyway, it's useless to be anxious, it's not like she's full and has nothing to do, the second room is broken The thing is that if you don't stick to it, you don't stick to it.

Because Xiaoqiao was boring, Qi Yan gave Xiaoqiao some of the account books of the inner courtyard. It was a pastime, and the cost here is not big now. The main reason is to return to Kang County. From now on, Xiaoqiao will be needed in the inner courtyard at home. It's up to you, so now it's time to practice your skills.

When Qi Yan came back in the afternoon, Xiaoqiao told Qi Yan about the arrival of the girls today, and Qi Yan said: "If you are impatient, you don't have to deal with them. I will tell the people in the yard and give them to you directly." Sent."

"Don't, anyway, left and right are boring."

"Do you feel bored at home? What did you do at home before?" Qi Yan asked with his arms around Xiaoqiao.

Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "When I was in Yejia Village, my family was poor, and I just thought about how to make the family richer. The whole family lived together, and there was no good food to eat, and no good clothes to wear. At that time, what I hoped most was to separate the family as soon as possible. With the people of our family, we must have a better life than the whole family together. Later, we finally separated, and our family lived in the earthen house. I feel happy. At that time, I thought about raising more chickens and pigs. At that time, I was happy even if I made a penny. When Yejia Village came to spring, wild vegetables were everywhere. I also said in the book, don’t underestimate these wild vegetables. Every kind of wild vegetable is a kind of natural medicinal material, and eating more wild vegetables can prolong life."

Qi Yan listened to Xiaoqiao's words, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. Being able to talk about these old events with himself shows that he regards himself as one of his own, which is very good.

Xiaoqiao said, wondering why her husband has no voice at all?
"What are you laughing at? Do you think what I said is funny?" Xiaoqiao asked pretending to be unhappy.

"No, I think it's pretty good, much better than when I was a child!" Qi Yan said.

As he lost his mother when he was young and his father was partial, his childhood was probably not very good.However, "Sister-in-law treats you well, right?" Xiaoqiao asked.

"Yes, when I was young, I was studying with Tianci. My sister-in-law prepared two copies of everything, and my elder brother, I was very naughty for a while, and I was a little disobedient. My elder brother beat me cruelly. After beating me, my elder brother I was still crying behind my back, and my sister-in-law told me these things. Since then, I have become sensible." I also know what is a good person and what is a bad person.

"Big brother and sister-in-law treat you well!" Qi Yan is lucky to have such a big brother and sister-in-law. He has not been misled, and he will have a good future in this life!

Xiaoqiao didn't need to ask, he knew that some people must have contributed to this.Think about it, their family is somewhat similar to my own. I have a partial grandfather and a step-grandmother who only cares about her own children. They will be harassed by these people from time to time, but what about Qi Yan? , There is an eccentric father, and a concubine who is blowing pillow wind beside him. This father also harassed his other two sons again and again for his beloved son.

Xiaoqiao also hugged Qi Yan's waist back, Lianpeng and Luwei had already left the room sensibly, and the husband and wife hugged each other quietly like this, which felt good.

Qi Cheng, who followed Qi Yan, felt that his master had a smile on his face since he got married, and he was much better than the cold look before. It seems that this man has to get married, and only after getting married can he be popular.

"Third Master, this is the bill of Huibin Building in the provincial capital, please take a look." Qi Cheng has followed Qi Yan to deal with matters for so many years, so he understands everything.

Qi Yan took a look and said with a sneer: "So, my good second brother has paid a lot of money in Huibin Building?"

Qi Cheng replied: "Yes." This second master really dared to pay on credit. Over the past few months, he has already credited nearly 1000 taels. I don't know how he eats. He can eat so much, but he still order Yes, if it is not the best, it is not enough for such a prodigal, even if he has a golden mountain.

Qi Yan said: "You know how to do it."

"Understood!" It seems that the third master is going to teach the second master a lesson, so as not to think about things and always want to reach out for things that don't belong to him.

Not long after, someone reported outside the gate of the Qi mansion, saying that the second master Qi had been arrested. The news frightened the second wife of Qi, and she ran to find the old man Qi and asked the old man to find a way, but the old man is now It doesn't matter anymore, and now it doesn't work to talk outside, but he said to the second wife: "Let Tianhong take his uncle's post, go to the magistrate, and let the magistrate send someone to take care of it!"
