Chapter 3 "Things Are Different"

"Too late?" Vincent asked eagerly, "Mr. Qi, you have clearly fulfilled your promise!"

Qi Jiexuan didn't answer, he was silent for a few seconds, and sighed heavily: "...I always think that if I could go back earlier, maybe many things would be different now."

After staying at Qi's house for 3 full days, I went out to sea with my father. At first, my father and Uncle Qi exchanged letters. Unfortunately, it was inconvenient to write letters at sea, so there was no news.During this period of time, I have been doing maritime trade with my father abroad. I was young and frivolous, living a life of luxury and luxury in the upper class.Suddenly one day, I received a letter from Uncle Qi, saying that the family was planning to move back to the ancestral house, and the news came specially, and my father only told me this.Suddenly I remembered the promise I made with Xiaoyu when I was a child, but the 3 days left it in my heart, I missed him so much, I don’t know how he is now, since that day I often think of Xiaoyu.

I always thought that Xiaoyu and the others were returning from the official business path to a small business stall to live a leisurely life. Sometimes when I think of it, I will foolishly imagine what Xiaoyu will become when he grows up. He is as handsome as his second brother, but most likely he will be a handsome and talented man with a proud face.He even dreamed one day that when he returned to the Qing Dynasty one day, what he saw was a little girl in a splendid gown.

But what I never expected was that when I finally returned to the land of the Qing Dynasty, I was not full of joy, but lonely holding my father's remains.Drifting on the sea for many years, my father's body is slowly failing. Before his death, the old man confessed that he hoped to be buried in the same place as his mother. Now looking at the remains in his hand, he suddenly felt that he was the only one left in the world. After returning to the old house, although there are still servants taking care of it, they are all unfamiliar faces.

In fact, it’s okay to say that it’s sad, after all, when my father passed away, it was more than a year before I returned here. One of the things my father told me was to be buried with my mother, and the other was to go to the people of the Qi family, saying that no matter what, I had to take him with me. The family left the Qing Dynasty.Maybe it has something to do with that letter back then, after all we haven't heard from Uncle Qi since then.In the busy few days after I came back, I took care of my father's affairs. Fortunately, I am a resident overseas, so everything was kept simple, and things were settled in a day or two.That night when I was packing up my father’s belongings, I found a secret compartment in the suitcase. There were some small things in the secret compartment. Qi Jiexuan found out a letter. It was the letter that the master of the Qi family sent to his father, just a few lines. Words, Lala's homely routine, Qi Jiexuan casually put the letter away and put it in his pocket.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go to Xiao Yu!In a blink of an eye, 15 years, I don't know how he is now......

I found the Qi family according to my childhood memories.Although the facade is not as exquisite as before, maybe it’s because I’ve seen more things overseas all the year round, but with a bookish look in the simplicity, Qi Jiexuan knocked on the door, and the door opened by itself after a while, and I looked down to see how old he was. The older child looked at the stranger with big round eyes.Qi Jiexuan looked at him, thinking that the child would not be... Then a woman with big eyes came over and picked up the child and looked at Qi Jiexuan with a polite smile: "Hi sir, who are you looking for?" ?”

Looking at the two identical faces in front of him, Qi Jiexuan slowly came back to his senses: "Uh...I'm looking for someone from the Qi family."

"The Qi family? We are here!"

Qi Jiexuan looked up, it was also the Qi family, but why did it feel different: "Well, big sister, I'm looking for the former Qi family, Qi Bang'an should be the former head of this house."

The woman suddenly realized, and suddenly asked very cautiously: "Oh! Hey, you are..."

"My surname is Qi, and my name is Jiexuan. My father used to be a good friend of Mr. Qi Bang Anqi."

"The Qi family...then you wait!"

The woman then handed a note to Qi Jiexuan: "We are distant relatives of the master of the Qi family, so we are not very familiar with each other. But at that time, the head of the Qi family was the second young master. If Qi's came to look for it, we will give you this address. In fact, a lot of things have happened during this period, hey, I can't tell. In short, the current Qi family is not as good as before, and we can't say too much about it. You go Just look at it and understand!"

In fact, I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. It is true that in the eyes of others, returning home is not as good as before, but I heard from the eldest sister that the second young master is now in charge?Shouldn't it be Master Qi Zhesheng who is in charge?

When Qi Jiexuan came to the place indicated by the address full of doubts, it was already dark. This is a very chic looking mansion. Qi Jiexuan knocked on the door and after a while, the voices of one old man came: "Come on, come on, two The young master is back!...Hey!"

The old man looked at Qi Jiexuan: "Sir...who are you looking for?"

Qi Jiexuan looked at the person who opened the door. Isn't this the butler of the Qi family? Although he is much older, he still looks the same: "Uncle Jin, it's me! I'm Qi Jiexuan, do you still recognize me? My father and I lived in the old mansion when we were young .”

"Qi, Qi Jiexuan! Young Master Qi!" Steward Qi suddenly grabbed Qi Jiexuan's hands excitedly, and said in a trembling voice, "Master Qi, you... you are here. Come in quickly." Butler Qi was a little excited: "Oh, Qi Young master, you have grown up so much that I don't even recognize you, come and sit, if the second young master hasn't come back yet, I'll ask someone to notify you."

"You're welcome, Uncle Jin. By the way, I came here according to the address given by the Qi family's mansion before, and I've heard some things, but now I see that you live in a good place, and I feel relieved."

Steward Qi handed Qi Jiexuan a cup of tea, and after hearing this, he suddenly paused: "Hmm... I don't know if Master Qi is healthy or not?"

"My father passed away more than a year ago, but he was very peaceful when he left. Part of the reason for coming back this time is to fulfill my father's wish."

"My condolences to Young Master Qi."

"It's all over. By the way, what about Uncle Qi, what about Big Brother and the others? I don't know what Xiaoyu looks like." Qi Jiexuan recalled all kinds of things when he was a child, and he still envied the bustling Qi family with brothers and sisters.

The housekeeper was silent for one second, two seconds, three seconds: "...Alas, when the eldest young master and his family went to the eldest young grandmother's natal house, all four members of the family... disappeared." Butler Qi couldn't hide his sadness when he recalled those years.Qi Jiexuan never thought that what he heard was such a thing, and he had never heard such news in the letters back then!

"At that time, the master endured the pain of the white-headed man sending the black-headed man away. After dealing with the affairs of the eldest and young master's family, he also became ill. Later, something happened to the Qi family, so the master went. At that time, the master entrusted me to do things, yes I'm useless, I'm slow to do things, if I was there at that time, maybe... maybe... the master would... maybe the lady would be fine."

Steward Qi held back his tears: "Master Qi, have you received the last letter from the master? It was sent by me personally, did you receive it? Did the master reveal anything? I only know that there are people, those beasts , intending to kill the Qi family, obviously the master has retreated, and obviously let go...those beasts...cough cough cough cough"

"Uncle Jin, take a rest, don't worry too much. The letter has been received, and my father and I have both seen it." Qi Jiexuan was still a little bit overwhelmed, the sudden information he received was completely indigestible.

"Old man, why are you coughing again? Have you seen the young master?" The first lady came over anxiously, "Oh, is there a guest?"

"Ahem, ahem, this is Qi Jiexuan, Master Qi!" said Butler Qi.

"Ah! Master Qi..." Aunt was astonished.

"You are... nanny! Xiaoyu's nanny, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes, Young Master Qi was... still very young at that time. You are waiting for the second young master to come back, right? You sit and you sit, and I... I will go to find the young master first." Nanny As if in a hurry, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Qi Jiexuan: "I'll go with you, Xiaoyu doesn't know I'm back, so it's good to give him a surprise!"

Qi Jiexuan had a bright smile on his face, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. The nanny hesitated and frowned and sighed: "Forget it, there are some things you need to know, Young Master Qi, come with me."
