Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 637 Thirty-six New Years

  The New Year is the happiest time for many people throughout the year. After all, whether it is a dignitary or a merchant, at this time, they can put aside their affairs, enjoy the happiness of their family, and have a family reunion.

   Among them, there are also some who are not very happy.

  For example, Qi Yunxi couldn't be happy at all. During the New Year's Day, the tea set from the Jingdezhen official kiln that she threw together could make Princess Mingchang, who has always been famous for her extravagance, feel heartache.

   Recently, everyone in the Fuzhong avoided her.

   Even Master Tong Er was a little bit jealous of her and didn't provoke her.

   Mrs. Qi brought Xu Huixian to pay New Year's greetings. Seeing Xu Chong went out for a drink with Mr. Tong Er, he came to Qi Yunxi's side and called out to his aunt in a weak voice.

   When Qi Yunxi faced her, his tone was still a little cold, but it was much better than usual. With a sigh, he looked at her and asked her, "How is Yuanbo?"

   She is still very close to Xu Yuanbo and Xu Huixian.

   Speaking of his son, Qi's eyes were a little red, he shook his head and nodded hurriedly, and said with a forced smile: "It's not a big deal, but I'm too ignorant. My father ordered him to stop at home and let him copy books."

   After all, there was too much conflict with the Sun family. Although Xu Shun tried his best to protect his grandson outside, of course he didn't ignore it at all, and he still fined Xu Yuanbo.

Qi Yunxi frowned and was very dissatisfied: "Sun Wencai is looking for something on his own, is it possible that he wants to be a shrewd tortoise?! If his own family doesn't help him, don't others want to bully him even more?! Your old man He is really fair and strict, and he is cruel enough to his own grandson!"

   She was in a bad mood, so what she said naturally rushed.

  Xu Huixian has always been unhappy about this matter. In her heart, her elder brother is more expensive than anyone else, so how could he do something wrong? To say that there is a mistake, it is also the fault of others, and it is the fault of others that makes my brother unable to resist.

   But things happened between her and her brother one after another. Although the family was powerful, they were still criticized. Grandfather still didn't say anything to the outside world, but he was much stricter internally.

   She and her brother had a hard time for a while.

  Because of this, this time her brother was grounded, and she just dared not to speak out.

Now that my aunt said the same thing, Xu Huixian immediately shared the enemy: "Isn't it?! My brother himself was beaten badly. He couldn't get up for several days at home, and they all said that a slap didn't make a sound, so how could everything be blamed on the elder brother? "

Qi Shi became more and more helpless to her daughter's temperament, coughed and glared at her: "Can't you be calmer?! With such a big person, he always chooses what to say, what to say and what not to say. I don’t even have a measure yet, how can I feel at ease when I get married in the future?”

   Her life has been ups and downs, and she can't stand the toss anymore. Now her only wish is to hope that her children can take a different path from hers, so that they can live a smoother life in the future.

   A lifetime is so long, what is better than nothing?

Qi Yunxi sneered, "Speaking of which is really a shame for our ancestors! If people like us still need to be cautious in our words and deeds, what are our fathers trying to do with all their might? Can't it?"

   These words came to Xu Huixian's heart again, she was instantly overjoyed, and pulled her aunt's arm to act like a spoiled child.

Qi Yunxi patted her on the head, gave her a very generous greeting, and sent her out to play with a few girls in the Tong family. When the door was closed again, she looked at Qi impatiently: "You gave it away. You have written to me several times, what do you want to say to me?"

   Mrs Qi naturally saw the unhappiness in her eyes, pursed her lips, and said in a somewhat restrained whisper, "I bought some old jewelry, and said it came from the original Mr. Lei."

   Qi Yunxi frowned and stared at her, not understanding what she was talking about.

   "It's something from our former family, as well as something from the Empress." Mrs Qi said, feeling a little wistful.

   This queen concubine, of course, is not referring to Empress Hu of Emperor Yuanfeng, but Empress Li, who abolished the emperor.

Speaking of this, Qi Yunxi's face was a little gloomy, but when he heard that it came out from Mr. Lei, he didn't think it was strange - Lei Yun himself is the Shaoqing of Shang Baosi, who is in charge of the treasure house. He is also insatiable. It is normal to have treasures from the past.

   "Are things reliable?" Qi Yunxi rubbed his eyebrows: "This trivial matter is worth making a special trip to tell me? If you like it, just keep it."

   She can even give a set of ruby ​​heads to Xu Huixian as a dowry. Why do you care about Qi's going to buy some old things?

  The people in this world who knew their sisters were still alive were all dead.

   Except for each other and people they absolutely trust, only Xu Shun and Xu Chong know.

   There is nothing taboo.

   Mrs Qi was a little uneasy, rubbed her hands before saying anything, and then sighed after a while: "Auntie, do you have any other plans with your princess and father-in-law?"

   Naturally, he has other plans.

   But there is no need to mention it to this timid niece, Qi Yunxi slowed down his voice for the New Year's day: "It has nothing to do with you, you just need to be your noble wife."

   Originally wanted to persuade Qi Yunxi to quit, but as soon as he heard this tone, he knew that it was his wishful thinking. Qi's heart was unspeakably heavy, and a year had passed in vain.

   Until the beginning of the new year, she heard a major event - Gao Ping and others jointly signed a letter, asking Emperor Yuanfeng to give the emperor's eldest grandson the title, and grant the emperor's eldest grandson to study in the cabinet.

  The so-called study abroad is the beginning of learning about the prime minister's state affairs.

   Or to put it another way, it is to rectify Xiao Heng's name.

   She couldn't help but become more preoccupied, looked down at the half-embroidered hijab in her hand, and couldn't help sighing.

   This hijab was embroidered by her for her daughter, and she was waiting for Xu Huixian to be covered in a beautiful and beautiful marriage. With the thought, the needle accidentally pierced her finger, and blood beads immediately oozing out.

   She hurriedly sucked her fingers clean, and when Xu Chong came back in the evening, seeing his bad expression, she thought it was this matter: "Is it because of the emperor's eldest grandson?"

However, Xu Chong shook his head and sat on the stool with a frowning face: "It's for another matter, the sage has ordered the emperor's eldest grandson to go to Yunnan to supervise the army, supervise the suppression of the rebellion, seal him as an imperial commissioner, and send the sister of the former chieftain in Yunnan to follow him. If the son goes back to Yunnan, if the errand is completed, the court will not have to fight anymore."

   Qi didn't understand this, she was just subconsciously afraid: "Then, what should I do?"

   Xu Chong let out a sullen sigh: "There is always a way, it's just the beginning of the year, it's still a long time, what's the point of staring at it for a while?"
