Go back to the Song Dynasty as a broker

Si Qinghu asked Xiao Yi to wait for her at the jewelry shop, and followed the man to meet Li Zao alone.

She followed the man to a tea house in the alley and stepped up to the second floor. As soon as Si Qinghu came to the promenade outside the door, a faint orchid fragrance rushed into her nostrils, which seemed extremely pungent to her, and she gave a light slap Sneezing, and then stepping into the room, I couldn't smell the fragrance, so I felt much more comfortable.

Through the white bead curtain, she saw Li Zao in casual clothes, sitting at the square tea table by the window, looking at her, and said kindly, "Come in!"

Si Qinghu took off his veiled hat, put it aside, opened the beaded curtain and entered, looked into Li Zao's eyes, couldn't hide his indifference and impatience, but still gave a salute.

Li Zao asked Si Qinghu to sit across from her, and looked at her carefully.

Si Qinghu's dress today is very different from the day he went to the banquet. He was flirtatious and charming that day, but today he is wearing a white shirt, no makeup, fair skin, and pure eyebrows and eyes. He does look somewhat similar to himself.

Looking at her figure again, how similar is it to his wife?

Li Zao was almost certain that the woman in front of him was his Che'er.

Seeing Li Zao looking at him for a long time without saying a word, Si Qinghu couldn't help but said: "I don't know why Mr. Xiangguo invited the servants to come here?"

Li Zao poured two cups of tea slowly, then raised one cup high to the middle, and said, "Please!"

Si Qinghu understood, raised his right hand to take the tea, "Thank you, Mr. Xiangguo."

Li Zao looked deeply at Si Qinghu for a moment, then said: "That day in Xiangguo Mansion, why did you suddenly change the libretto?"

Si Qinghu sneered, and said: "Didn't the Nu family explain to Lord Xiangguo and Mrs. Xiangguo at the banquet? Why, Lord Xiangguo thought that the Nu family was mocking you?"

Li Zao was immediately speechless with anger, thinking that in front of him was his daughter whom he had not seen for many years, he suppressed his anger and said, "Che'er, you are still like this!"

Li Zao called himself "Che'er" with such certainty, Si Qinghu's heart trembled, but he quickly regained his composure, evoking a charming smile, and said, "I don't know why Xiangguo said that?"

Li Zao said again: "Che'er, since I saw my father today, why don't you want to recognize him?"

Si Qinghu's eyes flickered with panic, and he stared at Li Zao in disbelief.

Li Zao explained to her that on the second day of the banquet, he sent people to the workshop to inquire about Si Qinghu's life experience, and the clue was found on Aunt Yu in Qingyufang.I learned that ten years ago, she and her grandmother, the former owner of Qingyufang, brought geisha to Hangzhou to perform. The scattered little girl fell to the ground.

Grandma Si was a kind hearted person, immediately picked up little Si Qinghu, found that she had a fever, took her to see a doctor, and took her in temporarily.When they asked about her family, no matter how they asked, she only said that her mother was dead and she had no family.

Aunt Yu saw that the girl was born with a lovely sign, like a little fairy in the sky, so she got a twisted idea and persuaded Grandma Si to take the child back to Bianjing to raise it.Grandma Si hesitated again and again, and asked Si Qinghu if he would like to be with them?

In the past few days, Si Qinghu has been taken care of by Grandma Si like a mother, and without Li Yu's provocation and Zhou's punishment, he feels more comfortable than at home, so he nodded without thinking!

Of course, in this paragraph, Aunt Yu did not tell the truth to the person sent by Li Zao. She saw that the man was extraordinary. It is a serious crime for the official's daughter to be taken away by them to become a geisha!

So she shrewdly blamed that crooked idea on Grandma Si who had already died, and only said that it was Grandma Si who had a crooked idea to make Si Qinghu a geisha, but she was the one who wanted to find his family for Si Qinghu.

"However, it happened that he was taken away by Grandma Si in Hangzhou. Isn't Xiangguo afraid of misidentifying his daughter?" Si Qinghu sneered.

Li Zao looked directly at Si Qinghu, and said again: "My son has resisted the fragrance of orchids since childhood, and he can't smell the fragrance of orchids at all. I just ordered someone to light orchid fragrances at the door for my father, and you slapped the wrong throat when you arrived at the door. "

Before Si Qinghu could react, Li Zao continued: "Also, when my son was a toddler when he was two years old, he wrestled in the courtyard and hit a sharp stone on his right wrist, which left a scar. I just gave it to you on purpose for my father. Tea, I can already see the traces on your wrist. From your appearance, plus these features, are you afraid that you will be mistaken for your father?"

Si Qinghu looked at Li Zao in shock, and suddenly realized that from the scent of orchids entering the door to deliberately holding up the tea and handing it to her, it was all designed by Li Zao, this old fox!

It's a pity that compared to her, I haven't been so thoughtful, so I accidentally fell into his temptation.

She couldn't deny it, she sneered, and said calmly: "I don't think you have forgotten these characteristics of your daughter?"

Li Zao's eyes were sore, and his head ached with grief, and said, "Che'er, after ten years, my father finally found you!"

ten years!

With clear tears in Si Qinghu's eyes, he raised his head and stubbornly refused to let it fall, "It's been ten years, and my daughter has already been reduced to prostitution and become a geisha for a living. Do you want to come out to meet each other? Could it be that you still want to take me home, maybe you are worried that I will lose your Xiangguo's face as a geisha, and kill me to silence you?"

"Che'er, how can you think of your father so dirty? Is there any father in the world who doesn't recognize his child? No matter what you become, you are my daughter, Li Zao!"

"Hehe, if I knew today, why bother? You shouldn't be so hypocritical. At the beginning, I just wanted to keep my mother's things. Her bones were not cold, but you wiped out all traces of her. One thought Don't leave it to me, but also give me a hand for it!"

Less than two years after her mother passed away, Li Zao cleared out the old things in her room and let Mrs. Zhou live in.No matter how young she begged, Li Zao was determined to do so.

After her mother passed away, Li Yuyi provoked her because of her young age. After she fought back, she would always be taught by Zhou as an elder.This is not the reason for her to run away, as long as there is a relative like her father at home, she can continue to bear it.

But since Li Zao disregarded her begging and let the Zhou family take over everything from his mother, she had a dispute with him. She scolded him for being heartless and sorry for her mother, so Li Zao beat her severely.On that night when it was raining lightly, she finally realized that she no longer had any relatives.

Braving the rain, he escaped until he could no longer walk and fell on the street!

Li Zao was so ashamed that his face was red, and there were tears in his eyes.He admitted that the reason why he wanted to clean up all the traces of his wife was because when he saw these things, he would think of her accusations during her lifetime, and he remembered that he had made a fortune relying on the support of his wife and father-in-law in those years, but in the end he failed his wife's younger brother. Behavior!

He took out a bamboo dragonfly from his wide sleeve, and slowly handed it to Si Qinghu, saying: "Not everything is thrown away!"

With eyes blurred by tears, Si Qinghu looked at the wooden old bamboo dragonfly, which was the last plaything left by her mother. I hope she will fly freely and happily like the bamboo dragonfly in the future!

She thought it was ruined by Li Yu who snatched it away.

At that moment, her tears burst down the bank.

Li Zao said: "This is left to you by your mother, you take it first, and father will find a way to let you go home."

Si Qinghu shook his head, stood up and wiped away his tears, and said, "I'm not a child anymore, I don't need this, and I don't want to go home. Don't worry, Mr. Xiangguo, I won't tell you about you. From now on Please don't disturb my life in the future!"

After speaking, she wiped her tears and left!

Li Zao tightened his grip on the bamboo dragonfly, and closed his eyes in pain.

Although he couldn't bear to look back on his crime of betraying his wife, but Li Che was his first child and his most beloved daughter, how could he ignore her?I only hate that he hasn't thought of a perfect plan to take Si Qinghu back to the Prime Minister's mansion calmly.

He ordered his subordinates who brought Si Qinghu in just now: "Stay around Miss, so as to protect her, and report any news to the truth at any time."

Si Qinghu walked to the riverside where no one was there, and after he calmed down, he went back to the jewelry shop to look for the Xiao chair.

The next day was the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the afternoon, when Xiao Tong came to look for her, she was still the same as usual, smiling and giving half of the gifts bought yesterday to Xiao Tong, but Xiao Tong took all of them from her hands. .

She knew that Xiao Tong's father had passed away less than a year ago, so it was not appropriate to wear too bright clothes, but it was also not appropriate to wear her favorite white, so she deliberately wore a light beige cross-neck skirt, which looked sweet and amiable.With a nervous mood and a shy smile on his face, he followed Xiao Tong into Xiao's house.

The whole family of the Xiao family, including a few servants who were doing good deeds, had already been waiting in the living room, and when they saw him coming, they greeted him with smiles.

Jiang said: "Qinghu Lake is here."

This battle not only made Si Qinghu's cheeks burn with shame, but even Xiao Tong was stunned.

Isn't it just to have a meal during the festival? Why is the whole family looking like a bride?

Seeing Xiao Tongmu at the side, Jiang asked her: "Silang, why don't you introduce your family to Qinghu?"

Jiang felt annoyed, this granddaughter is really stupid, if she brings her future daughter-in-law home, she should introduce relatives to her personally, but she doesn't understand this rule, as soon as she enters the door, she just stands aside as if nothing has happened, insisting on her beating and beating!

Xiao Tong finally realized, "Oh!"

It's fine for Xiao Yi to introduce, but she still has to come in person.What's more, they all grew up on the same street, Si Qinghu already knew everyone in his family, so why bother?

Although she was muttering in her heart, she was obedient and led Si Qinghu to see grandma first. Si Qinghu called "Old Madam" sweetly, and then handed her the prepared Korean ginseng.

And squatting under Jiang's knees, he personally put on another gift, a white jade bracelet, for Jiang.

Jiang Shi said embarrassedly: "Let Qinghu spend the money."

"As long as the old lady likes it."

Grandma smiled cheerfully, took Si Qinghu's hand, and looked at her carefully, showing a satisfied look.

Xiao Tong scratched his head in wonder, as for?It's just to celebrate the festival together, Si Qinghu spends so much money, giving bracelets and ginseng, it's not such a waste of money just now, isn't she planning to start a shop after she quits the circle?

And grandma, she looked at Si Qinghu like she was looking at her granddaughter-in-law, what if Si Qinghu was frightened?

She quickly pulled Si Qinghu up to Mrs. Chen and introduced him.

Si Qinghu handed the small long wooden box to Mrs. Chen with both hands, and called out to the second lady.

Mrs. Chen, who has always loved money, unceremoniously opened the gift and saw that it was a golden hairpin. Her eyes lit up and her crow's feet appeared from a smile. She took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Si Qinghu's hand, saying: "Qinghu Ah, you are really wasting money. Don't worry, if Shiro bullies you in the future, just tell aunt, and aunt will help you out!"

Si Qinghu was startled, and looked at Xiao Yi suddenly, his sharp eyes seemed to ask, "Didn't you just tell grandma, why did you listen to your mother, and seemed to know something?"

Xiao Yi spread her hands and shook her head innocently, expressing that she didn't know what was going on.

Xiao Tong was amused for a while, and muttered, "How could I bully Qinghu!"

After Si Qinghu finished seeing Mrs. Chen, Xiao Tong elbowed Si Qinghu, and said in a low voice, "Why do you buy such expensive things, and you can't spend money like this?"

Si Qinghu replied in a low voice: "What do you know!"

This... Xiao Tong shut up sullenly, okay, she kindly reminded her, it turned out that she didn't understand!

Then there was the elder brother, Si Qinghu knew that he loved tea, so he gave him a cake of famous tea.

I gave rouge to my sister-in-law, Xiao Zhen gave famous classics, Xiao Yi gave an archery finger puller, Xiao Zi had agreed in advance that he would ask Si Qinghu to sign the popcorn scarf he was wearing if he didn't want anything else.

Putting on this headscarf and declaring to the outside world that Si Qinghu is the endorser of his popcorn, the business will definitely be even hotter.

Xiao Tong's little niece loves cats, so Si Qinghu gave her an orange cat puppet.

The little niece hugged the puppet, couldn't put it down, and said sweetly: "Thank you, auntie!"

Si Qinghu wanted to pat her head and say she was really good, but suddenly he realized the address, his smile froze instantly, and he gritted his teeth.

Shaw Chair!

Even this little Douding knew her name as Auntie, who else in the Xiao family didn't know about her relationship with Xiao Tong?

Xiao Tong thought that Si Qinghu was offended, and immediately said seriously to his little niece: "Kid, don't bark!"

The sister-in-law also touched her daughter's head and smiled, "That's right, Ran'er, you will scare my aunt if you shout like that."

Xiao Tong, Si Qinghu: ...

"What about my gift?" Xiao Tong found out that the whole family had it, but he didn't have it, and asked with a cheeky smile.

Everyone was stunned, they had never seen someone bring their future daughter-in-law to see their family members and ask for a gift for themselves!

Si Qinghu tapped her collarbone and said, "Isn't yours here?"

Xiao Tong touched the little silver cat hanging around his neck, and suddenly remembered that Si Qinghu had already given him a gift, and smiled contentedly.

Seeing their loving appearance, the family members laughed enviously.

"Shiro!"

A woman's festive shout came from outside the door.

Everyone looked out and saw two middle-aged couples in brocade clothes walking in.

Xiao Tong hurriedly said: "Uncle and aunt. Didn't you give a gift two days ago?"

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they have the custom of giving gifts to each other. Didn’t the cousins ​​come here with gifts two days ago? Why are the uncles and aunts here again today?

The aunt smiled and said: "I heard that Shiro brought his future daughter-in-law to the house for the festival, come and see!"

As she said that, her eyes fell on Si Qinghu, her eyes narrowed into a line, and "so beautiful" and "satisfied" were written all over her face...

Xiao Tong gritted his molars and smiled wryly, "Who told you this...?"

Jiang said with a smile: "I went to Chenghuang Temple to offer incense this morning, and I just mentioned it when I encountered it!"

Xiao Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looked at Si Qinghu, and whispered: "Don't worry, it's all a misunderstanding."

Si Qinghu smiled awkwardly yet politely, shook his head and said, "It's fine."

Si Qinghu looked at Xiao Yi, with a murderous look in his beautiful almond eyes.Xiao Yi was so frightened that he squatted behind his grandma, buried his face, and muttered to his grandma wanting to cry without tears: "Grandma, didn't you tell me that you wouldn't tell?"

Jiang said: "Silang and Qinghu are finally happy with each other. This is a happy event, and it should be said!"

Uncle and aunt saw enough people, chatted for a while and went home.

During lunchtime, the family eats around a large round table in the dining hall.

The dishes on the table were rich, including soft mutton, braised fish, chicken, etc. Jiang Shi took a piece of chicken to Si Qinghu, and said: "Qinghu, try this piece of chicken, grandma heard that you like it, I specially ordered the kitchen to do it."

Si Qinghu hurriedly served a bowl to catch it, and said, "Thank you, old lady."

Holding up his chopsticks, Xiao Tong looked all over the table and there was no dish he liked. He felt a little puzzled. In the past, there was always one or two dishes that he liked at every meal, let alone today's festival.

Xiao Zhen said to her: "Don't look at it, tonight's dishes are all Qinghu's favorite, so you can just eat it!"

Xiao Tong sighed, and thought, "Well, Si Qinghu is a guest, so he should entertain him."

She looked at the plate of meatballs in the middle, the largest and roundest meatball, and finally got some appetite. She stretched out her chopsticks, but it was empty.The meatball I aimed at was quickly picked up by a pair of chopsticks.

Mrs. Chen put the meatballs into Si Qinghu's bowl, and said with a smile, "Qinghu, try this meatball. Auntie specially ordered someone to make it for you!"

Unhappily, Xiao Tong picked up another one and ate it in his mouth. Seeing that everyone in the family turned their eyes on Si Qinghu and kept picking up vegetables for her, he suddenly felt that the meatballs were not delicious at all.

In the past, grandma was always worried that she was weak, so she asked the kitchen to prepare her favorite food every time, and worried that she would eat less and fill her bowl to the brim.

Now that Si Qinghu is here, everyone treats her like a transparent person.

She shuddered deeply, thankfully Si Qinghu was only here as a guest for a day, otherwise she would definitely have no place in this family!
