Opposite the entrance hall
Chapter 107 Folding an umbrella as a gift, I hope you will not get caught in the wind and snow
The sky is smoky, looking at the foggy Lingshan Mountain, the autumn wind is rolling in the curtain, and the candle shadow is shaking red.
Watching the sky, swan geese travel far away, the first day is approaching, cooking wine belongs to people.
The children on both sides of the street were talking, the white mist exhaled from their mouths was blown away by the wind, Lin'an has been getting colder and colder in the past few days, even though it hasn't snowed yet, it is already bitingly cold, the cold wind blows and hits the face It was like being scraped by a knife, and the hot oil and rice fragrance were still mixed in the wind. The smell was a bit mixed, not pleasant but full of freshness, which made the cold night a little more warm.
The common people are busy running around, all kinds of shouts come and go, and a few whispers come from time to time, they are still discussing the fact that Emperor Chengde has not been in court for several months. After dinner, everyone would have a few sneaky chats in private. The voices were not loud, but they were all just for entertainment. When they found something else to talk about, they would turn the page and talk about this year's harvest.
Qi Ran turned his eyes back and put down the curtain, frowning a little bit, the emperor hasn't been in court for a long time, and now all the affairs in the court are in charge of the Sangong, Emperor Chengde recuperates in the name of recuperating and does not show up, all kinds of news are transmitted It was through Yan Yi, Yan Yi even got the official position of a third-rank personal physician, and everything that came into Emperor Chengde's side had to go through his hands, and the scenery was infinite for a while.
As for King Liang, he has never been out of the palace. The incident of the prince's poisoning seems to have just turned upside down. There is no news in the palace. Everyone doesn't know what happened. Getting into trouble for the upper body, this day is like walking on thin ice, trembling, while busy with the affairs of their respective yamen, while thinking about the intention behind it.
There is no doubt that Emperor Chengde's illness has improved, but everyone can't figure out why he has improved and why he hasn't gone to court. Is it because he and Ji Si went in the wrong direction?Perhaps Emperor Chengde's condition has not improved?Or it is getting better but unable to go to court. There are two reasons for this, unable to move and unable to speak?
"Master," a voice from outside the sedan chair interrupted Qi Ran's thoughts, "Here we are."
Qi Ran stepped out of the sedan chair, and the guards of the Qi Mansion saw it was his young master's sedan chair from a distance, and when he saw someone coming out, he hurried up to greet him, "The second young master is back."
"Well," Qi Ran nodded, "Where's father?"
"Master Xiang is still in the palace and hasn't released his value yet. I guess the time will be a little longer."
"I'll go back to my room and change my clothes."
After Qi Ran finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. The guard hurriedly called him back, "Second Young Master, there are people waiting in the mansion. They have been waiting for a long time. The Eldest Young Master is about to send someone to call you back."
"Looking for me?"
"Well, my uncle and little general Pei."
Yang Yunchuan and Pei Qixiu?
Qi Ran frowned and was a little confused. Yang Yunchuan came to see him for nothing good, either to cry or to babble. As for Pei Qixiu, thinking about what happened a few days ago, he felt a little guilty and didn't want to see him immediately, but everyone was waiting in the hall Now, how can I say that if I don't see it, I won't see it. I rubbed my brows tiredly, "I'll go after I change my clothes."
When he changed his clothes and went to the front hall, his brother was chatting happily with the two uninvited guests whom he didn't want to see. They turned their heads when they heard the movement, and Qi Xu smiled and said, "Ah Heng is back. Coincidentally, Yun Chuan and Qi Xu Xiu is here to find you."
Hearing this, Qi Ran shifted his gaze to the two of them, sighed and sat down: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Yang Qin and Pei Zhan looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were a little discouraged and began to give in to each other.
"I just came here to have a look and see how Ah Heng's illness is recovering. If there is anything General Pei has to do, General Pei will go first."
"Master Xiao Yang first, I'm just here to ask for a cup of tea and eat, and I'll leave later, it's nothing serious, there's nothing urgent, I'll talk about it another day."
"You go first, you go first."
"You first you first."
"You first you first..."
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry..."
......
Qi Ran looked at the two of them taking the tea handed over by the maid and blew it with drooping eyes, and said in a calm tone: "If you don't say anything, go out, don't come to me next time if you have something to do, I don't have time."
As soon as he said this, Yang Qin hurriedly looked at Pei Zhan, who hurriedly avoided his gaze and raised his head to pretend to look at the beams. The clothes looked like a rascal, he stared back at Qi Ran and sighed Said: "Ah Heng, you also know that I have been married to your elder sister for ten years, I am not young at all, and everyone at my age has both children..."
Speaking of this, Qi Ran sneered twice, scaring Yang Qin to quickly change his words: "Of course, this is not your sister's problem, it's because I am not good enough for her, but my mother doesn't know the truth, her old man and The other wives were so envious when they saw someone hugging their grandson while eating tea, but they asked me some insincere things when they returned home, but I fudged them away, and I didn't know who gave her the bad idea later, so they came back with a bunch of portraits of girls, and got up to give them to me. My concubine's thoughts..."
"You want to take a concubine!" Qi Xu's voice suddenly rose, interrupting his speech directly, with a very ugly expression on his face.
Yang Qin panicked, his feet softened and he almost slipped off the chair, he hurriedly supported the chair and took a careful look at Qi Ran who was sitting across from him, seeing that he was frowning tightly even though he didn't make a sound, he was already displeased She looked so cowardly, she hurriedly explained: "No...no... how dare I, I wouldn't even dare if you gave me ten guts. She told me that she was rejected by me with righteous words. I can't tolerate anyone else except Xiaoxi. I said that I only want to grow old with her. Isn't this a slap in the face? It's all my mother's own decision, I really don't know."
"Does sister know?" Qi Ran asked while holding a sip of tea.
Listening to the question, Yang Qin sighed, and said sadly: "Speaking of it, it's fate. You said it was a coincidence. When the matchmaker came to deliver the girl's portrait, Xiaoxi was watching me recite "University". The matchmaker's voice was louder. Yell knows everything."
Hearing this, Pei Zhan was very puzzled why Yang Yunchuan wanted to sweep the yard by himself, but he didn't know that this was not the time to ask about it, so he suppressed his curiosity and asked, "Then how did she react?"
"There was no reaction at all. She just smiled at me and asked me if I wanted to take a concubine. I immediately denied it. She nodded and said three words that was fine, and then left."
"Sister is angry." Qi Ran didn't beat him around the bush, and said straight to the point.
"Of course I know." Yang Qin grabbed the chair and moved a few steps towards Qi Ran's direction. He knew Qi Xi's temper, so he naturally knew that he was angry, especially when Qi Xi saw him these days, it was like seeing a transparent person. Similarly, Yu Guang didn't bring a handout, and suddenly wanted to die. He was so anxious that he asked with a mournful face, "Didn't I come to ask you to help me think of a way to make her happy?"
"There's nothing you can do, you can go." Qi Ran said this in a lukewarm manner.
"Don't, don't, don't," Yang Qin rushed over and walked around Qi Ran, the anxiety and panic on his face were beyond words, "Heng, your elder sister loves you the most, help me think of a way, isn't this common saying Is it well said, we would rather tear down a temple than destroy a marriage, we are still a family after all, do you really have the heart to see me and your sister have a bad relationship?"
Qi Ran was terribly annoyed by him, raised her eyes to look at the person, and snorted coldly for no apparent reason.
Yang Qin was puzzled by his reaction, he turned his head to look at Qi Xu after a second thought, and smiled cautiously: "Brother, look at this..."
"You're going to take a concubine, so why don't you ask us to help you? Yunchuan, this is the Qi Mansion, and the one you bullied is my sister. How do you think I can help you?" Qi Xu said angrily.
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't want to take a concubine. This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Pei Zhan looked back and forth at the three of them, then touched his chin and said indifferently: "Since it was a misunderstanding, why don't you just apologize, my Yao'er is usually angry and gives her something she likes to tease her , won't it be all right when she calms down?"
Hearing this, Qi Ran curled his lips into a smile, nodded in agreement and said in a warm voice: "Sister is arrogant, so I don't want you to take two concubines and maids and one husband. If you really don't have that in mind, why don't you just apologize and follow her?" Come to think of it, didn't you just say that she was urging you to memorize "University"? Sister has always liked talented people, so if you memorize the university and apologize in person, maybe she will forgive you."
"Ah?" Yang Qin looked a little embarrassed, "This endorsement..."
"It's a bit embarrassing for you, so there's nothing you can do about it." Qi Ran continued to take a sip of tea, as if I didn't do the same.
Yang Qin paced back and forth with a mournful face, pondered for a while and said: "Forget it, let's go all out, isn't it just memorizing a book, as long as she is happy, let alone college, I will memorize all four books and five classics for her."
Qi Xu knew what Qi Ranan was thinking, so he glanced sideways at him, the latter raised his eyes and smiled at him, the two brothers understood what they meant, they hoped that Qi Xi would have a better life than anyone else, Yang Qin It's a bit of an idiot, but he is indeed a good person, all he needs is some self-motivation and ability.
Yang Qin's mind has always been simple, and he couldn't figure out these twists and turns. He just thought that Qi Ran and the others were smart and came to find him. The method they said was naturally useful, and there was no doubt that they had ulterior motives. After figuring it out, he thanked Dade and left. It is estimated that he went back to the government to endorse.
As soon as the people left the hall, the hall suddenly became quiet, Qi Ran put down his teacup and raised his head at them, "It's your turn, who are you annoying and need me to find a solution?"
Pei Zhan looked at the two of them, opened his mouth and closed it, raised his hand and retracted it, hesitating and hesitating for a long time, his expression was awkward and responsible, he didn't know what he had thought of, and his ear tips were slightly red, his whole body looked tangled It was embarrassing and pretentious, repeating this for a long time and still not making a sound, just sighed and picked up the tea and dried it up.
Seeing his complicated and hypocritical attitude, Qi Ran already understood what he was going to say, and immediately felt even more guilty, so he had to look away and pretend to be staring at the trees in the courtyard in a daze, but his elder brother didn't know, he saw Pei Qixiu like this. The sub-listening and full posture let him relax and solve what happened together. In the end, he did not forget to drink a sip of tea dignifiedly.
Pei Zhan gritted his teeth hard, lowered his voice and said, "I was kissed."
"puff!"
Qi Xu took a sip of hot tea, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth to stabilize his mind.
"And then?" Qi Ran turned around and asked.
"Then I'm here to look for you. It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, and I don't know how to let you guide me." Pei Zhan stared at the person and yelled, "Why aren't you surprised?"
Qi Ran lied without changing his expression, "I'm surprised, very surprised, but the etiquette of the Qi family doesn't allow me to act out of dignity, it's really inappropriate to lose the etiquette."
Two people: "..."
Qi Xu glanced at him sideways, with a clear smile on his face, imitating his tone and asked again: "And then?"
The two brothers sang and played, making Pei Zhan a little confused, scratching his head and saying in distress: "Then I ran away."
"You...you ran away?" Qi Xu's expression was a bit complicated, his face full of disbelief, and he repeated, "You left the girl and ran away?"
"No..." Yan Guanqing's little bastard appeared in Pei Zhan's mind, and he wanted to deny it subconsciously, but he opened his mouth and felt that it was not appropriate, so he simply acquiesced to Qi Xu's guess, and said with a drooping face: "I haven't met before." Such a big scene, I was so panicked at the time, how could I have thought of so much."
Thinking of the embarrassment of Pei Zhan leaving in a panic that night, Qi Ran believed that he was terribly frightened, not to mention him, both himself and Ji Si were surprised, after all, no one would have thought of Zhen Guogong's little prince He developed feelings of admiration for Pei Qixiu. The two were at odds not long ago, but now the progress is something no one expected.
Ji Si stared at the two people kissing in the room, and then asked Qi Ran next to him in a fever: "From now on, Pei Qixiu and I have to call him senior brother and he call me cousin, so we can have our own opinions?"
Qi Ran just smiled and didn't answer at that time, he didn't know about Yan Zhao, but Pei Qixiu understood it very well, this person taught the young master as half apprentice and half junior in his words and deeds, it's rare to see such a Miaozi who is talented in military affairs cherishes his talent and intends to polish this rough jade. Naturally, he is more attentive in everything. Compared with others in the battalion, he is special, but it is far from that. The degree of love in the heart is more about the attitude of the elders towards the younger generation.
The two grew up together, old general Pei died in battle, and Pei Qixiu carried the entire Pei family. He spent more time in the military camp than in the mansion, where men gather together, and he is naturally enlightened about love affairs. Later, but it is not so hard to tell if you like men or women.
So in Qi Ran's view, this matter is nothing more than Young Master Yan's unrequited love. Pei Zhan doesn't like him, at least not at the moment.
Recalling the memory, Qi Ran looked at the man's sky-falling expression, couldn't help but hooked his lips and asked: "So why are you looking for us?"
"It's not because I'm thinking about it, I have a headache and I can't think of a way. I'm here to ask you for advice."
"What's so difficult about it? A girl likes you when she kisses you. This kind of affection does not hide the slightest bit. It is quite admirable. As a man, you always take advantage. If you also like her, how about Three letters, six engagements, three matchmakers and six ceremonies, the Ming matchmaker is marrying at the door of your Pei family, you are not too young, it's time to start a family and start a business, you don't know if you are leading soldiers outside to fight, the big and small affairs of this mansion are all on Yao'er, she has a future The girl who came out of the cabinet has to take care of everything. Miss Bie's is either embroidering or admiring flowers in the room. She deals with the abacus every day, and you don't think about it for her..."
"No, I..." Pei Zhan grabbed the conversation and wanted to explain.
Qi Xu didn't give him this chance, and continued to babble: "I know you are afraid of delaying other girls, but if a girl likes you, she has already taken the initiative to make you a joke. A girl's reputation is important , don’t you take advantage of it and still not admit it? I treat you like Ah Heng, I think your elder brother is looking forward to your family, as long as the family background is clean and the conduct is good, Qi Xiu, you should also have a mistress in Pei’s residence gone."
Qi Ran lowered his eyes to cover up the smile in his eyes. As an insider, he felt a little gloated when he heard this conversation, and nodded agreeingly, "What brother said is very true, you don't want to disappoint others' infatuation. Senior brother, I wish you the best of luck first." You are united forever."
"No, it's all here," Pei Zhan rubbed his brows with a headache, "I'm here to ask you to think of a way for me, not to force me to get married, and besides, I don't mean that to him, he ...Alas...Anyway, it's not what you think, I'm so confused, it's really annoying."
This development was beyond Qi Xu's thinking, he was stunned and asked: "The co-author is that girl's unrequited love, who dares to love, dare to hate, free and easy, her courage is better than many men in the world, but it's a pity, Luo Hua has intentions." Flowing water is ruthless, a good marriage is gone."
"Brother Zizhan, don't make fun of me," Pei Zhan sighed, "That kid is still young, and he is used to being lawless at home. I guess he doesn't know what he is doing. I guess he is following me. I feel upset for losing face, and embarrassing me by changing the way, how could this little ancestor please me, this is clearly torturing me, look at my eyes, I haven't slept for several nights."
"Well, he is indeed a little ancestor." Qi Ran said such a sentence from the side, causing the two people to look over, but he raised his eyebrows, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
This kind of behavior in Qi Xu's eyes already made him understand something, but Pei Zhan was so upset that he didn't go into it, and continued to worry: "How can I not lose his face, but also let him know this kind of injury to the enemy?" The method of harming oneself by a thousand is a bit boring, and I don't have that kind of thought about him."
Qi Ran said in a warm voice: "First of all, whether he likes you or humiliates you, he should be constantly disturbed by it. Since you don't have the heart, you can speak clearly, and explain all those things clearly. Make it clear, so you won't have to worry about it in the future."
Pei Zhan stroked his chin in thought, and felt that it was reasonable, and it was not an option for him to continue to hide from Yan Guanqing, so he had to make it clear, and asked, "Then what should I say?"
"How do I know." Qi Ran was neither hot nor cold.
"Why don't you know," Pei Zhan said anxiously, "You and the little prince..."
Qi Ran glared at him, Qi Xu laughed out loud, Pei Zhan immediately realized something was wrong and swallowed the words back, looked at the sky outside the courtyard, stood up and changed the subject, shouting, "Ah, it's so late, I have to go back to the school grounds It's gone, don't send it away."
When he came, he was in a hurry, and when he left, Qi Xu smiled and glanced at Qi Ran, "You know the person he said."
Although he said interrogative sentences, he used affirmative tone.
"Yeah." Qi Ran nodded, and told what happened that night in a few words, but skipped some scenes and the existence of Ji Si.
After hearing this, Qi Xu had a complicated expression on his face. He stared at Qi Ran with an inquiring gaze, but the latter looked at him in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "Why do you look at me like that, brother?"
"Ah, it's nothing." Qi Xu smiled and said, "Both the eldest princess and the Duke of Zhen love the little prince very much. He does everything according to his whim. Now that Qi Xiu is secretly in love, let this matter be left to others." It's unlikely, and it seems reasonable to put it on the young man, but Qi Xiu's attitude made it clear that he didn't mean it, and these two people don't know who owes whom."
"Let them go, some things cannot be forced."
"That's right, I'm tired after sitting for so long, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
After finishing speaking, Qi Xu got up, stopped in front of the door and walked back, hesitated for a while before softly saying to Qi Ran: "Ah Heng, it's better not to go to this small restaurant, you can't get out of here. Where can I bring Nian'er a stepmother back?"
Qi Ran's expression froze, and he suddenly understood what was going on with his brother's hesitant attitude just now, he couldn't help but want to explain, "Brother, I..."
"I know," Qi Xu cut off his words and said with a clear face: "You are happy with the little prince, but the little prince has passed away for so long, and you have done everything you should and shouldn't do. Private and public are enough, life will go on after all, I am very happy to see you come out of the matter of being a prince, alas, forget it, forget it, just pretend that you didn’t hear what you just said, if you really like it It doesn’t matter if you are in the small house, just bring it back, let me tell the father, you can do it boldly, our family can’t afford to support one person.”
Listening to Qi Xu's words, Qi Ran was amused and touched, and finally explained, "Brother misunderstood, but I happened to see it when I went to do some business, it's not what you think."
"Ahem, cough, it's a misunderstanding," Qi Xu smiled awkwardly, "You're not like that, but I care about it, and I'm confused. I'm really sleepy and confused. I'd better sleep and wake up."
Qi Ran stared at his brother's frail back, and found that he seemed to be thinner again, and the robe covered his bony body, looking baggy, as if a person would be blown if the wind was a little stronger.
He looked at it seriously, and suddenly thought that when Qi Xu had not been demoted, he was wearing a dark red official uniform, and walked through most of Lin'an City to return home in high spirits. Everyone admired the young master of the Qi family, when he returned to the mansion, the laughter came along with the voice, "Aran, I brought you the chestnut cake from the east of the city."
When he spoke, the ending sound with a smile seemed to be all his youthful spirit lashing out at Fang Qiu, but Qi Xu's Ling Yunzhi was smoothed out by the prison disaster, and those helplessness, sadness and unwillingness all faded away with time and became the past. The high-spirited Qi Zizhan back then has turned into the sick Young Master Qi.
There was a wind blowing in the courtyard, blowing up Qi Xu's hair, and the dead leaves on the trees fluttered down, barely covering people from a distance, with a single leaf blocking the eyes, not seeing autumn and winter.
Winter in Lin'an is coming.
The last dead leaf on the branch floated down unsteadily, swirling in mid-air, it fell very slowly, so slow that the little eunuch guarding outside the Kunyuan Hall could see the trajectory of whereabouts clearly, the cold wind was a bit Bitingly, the little eunuch shrank his head. Various noisy and chaotic voices came from the hall, including roaring and panic. He was a little curious and subconsciously turned his head to take a look. Just as he raised his eyes, he saw a few people standing in front of him.
The person standing in front is a celebrity in the palace, a miraculous doctor who healed the emperor, with a beard, but his appearance can still tell that he looks elegant and easy to get along with, and he smiled at the little eunuch, and then The door creaked open.
Sun Hai's face was a bit ugly, and he looked better when he saw the people outside the palace, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously: "Master Yan is finally here, if you don't come again, this little life of this old slave is really beautiful, Your Majesty is sick again Well, this time it's more serious than the previous few times, just now I went mad and stabbed a slave, my lord, go and have a look."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Sun, just wait for me to see."
After a few people walked in, the palace door was closed again, the little eunuch sighed and continued to stare at the dead leaves in a daze.
There is a lot of charcoal fire in the hall, and the heat blows directly into your face as soon as you enter, and the incense in the incense burner lingers for a long time, making you dizzy, Yan Yi frowned slightly, and followed Sun He didn't need to raise his head behind Hai to hear Emperor Chengde's roar. He saluted respectfully, "I have seen Your Majesty."
His voice interrupted the tense situation in the hall. Emperor Chengde looked back with gloomy eyes full of disturbed displeasure. When he saw the person coming, Yan Yihou restrained his ruthlessness slightly, and looked down at the front of him. The maid who was bloody and bloody and couldn't see her original appearance, her anger dissipated a little, she threw away the whip in her hand and took the handkerchief Sun Hai handed over. While wiping the blood stains from the operation, she walked around the bloody man and sat until soft. He collapsed and waved.
Yan Yi lowered his eyes and glanced at the court lady lying on the ground not far away, bowed and walked over to take the chair handed over by the eunuch and sat down, then put down the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow from it, and lightly handed Chengde Emperor Feel the pulse on it.
Sun Hai stood aside and looked at the bloody man with some disgust, and signaled the eunuch to move the man out and clean it up.
"Your Majesty's pulse is stable, and the dragon's body is in good health. There is nothing serious about it. It will be cured in a few days." Yan Yi withdrew his hand, got up and stood beside him and asked, "How has Your Majesty slept these few days?"
"I can't sleep. I've been restless in my heart for the past few days. As soon as I close my eyes..." He stopped here, reacted and skipped the topic directly, "I don't know why , Could it be because I contracted some strange disease again?"
"Your Majesty is worrying too much. The medicine I prepared for Your Majesty is quite strong. Your Majesty was sick and injured the dragon's body before, so it will naturally be a little weak if the foundation is damaged. It is normal to not be able to bear the medicine. When the dragon's body is recuperated, it will be able to bear it." You have to take the medicine, I will prepare some sedative medicine for His Majesty later, and His Majesty will be able to sleep well after taking it."
Emperor Chengde nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Yi, thanks to you for my old illness, if you have anything you want, feel free to mention it, as long as you take good care of my body, whether it is a high-ranking official, rich salary or rich clothes and fine food , I will reward you all."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty said so, I will write it down, and I will come to ask Your Majesty to ask for it in person. At that time, Your Majesty must not think that I am greedy." Yan Yi said such a sentence in an unclear manner.
But Emperor Chengde didn't take it seriously, on the contrary, he was amused by his frankness, and laughed out loud: "Be greedy, people will have desires when they have greed, and they will be more like a person if they have desires." , I like dealing with people, hahahahahahaha."
Laughter echoed in the hall, inexplicably penetrating, Sun Hai looked and pushed the carved window open, a breeze blew in, and the bloody smell mixed with ambergris was blown away. His face was a little wet, Sun Hai stretched out his hand to catch the snow particles, which melted instantly on the palm of his hand.
It's going to snow.
He thought so in his heart.
However, the first snow in Lin'an seems to be slowing down this year, as if it has been delayed. It is still the snow particles, as if the crushed snowflakes melt into the winter rain and cold wind, blowing gently on people's faces. The cold can penetrate deep into the bone marrow and make people wrap their clothes tightly.
Yan Zhao stood outside General Dingwei's mansion, the rain and snow fell on his head and melted to form a thin layer of rain and mist. A gust of wind blew him up, and he shivered. I rubbed my hands together to feel warmer.
After waiting for a while, footsteps came from not far away. He heard the movement and quickly stretched his neck. Seeing the servants of the general's mansion, he rushed up and said, "How is it? Where is your general?"
The servants of Pei's mansion replied respectfully: "My lord, it's unfortunate that you came, my general just went out and it's very cold outside, if you have something urgent, why don't you go into the mansion and wait for the general to come back, and have a cup of hot tea along the way. "
"Going out again!" Yan Zhao frowned and said displeasedly: "When I came the day before yesterday, you told me that he was not at the house and went out. Why is he not at the house today? Where did he go? You should know. "
"This..." The servant looked embarrassed, and laughed softly, "Isn't the young master embarrassing the little one, how dare this servant ask about the master's affairs, the little one really doesn't know where the general has gone... ..."
Before the words fell, Yan Zhao kicked the man to the ground, and shouted at him angrily: "If you don't say it, I will cut off one of your hands today, sir!"
The servant was so frightened that he endured the pain and got up and said anxiously, "The little one said, the little one said, the general went to Suiyuexuan, and said that you came to ask and let us pretend that we don't know."
"Broken Moon Pavilion?" Yan Zhao squinted his eyes and repeated in his mouth, then turned and left in a hurry.
When they walked away, the servants of Pei's mansion got up tremblingly with the support of others, turned around and walked out from behind the door, as if standing for a long time, he bowed and saluted: "Miss."
"Well," Pei Yao nodded, and said softly, "Go to the cashier to receive the reward."
"Miss Xie."
After Pei Yao finished speaking, she turned and entered the mansion, and the maid next to her asked puzzledly: "Miss, the general deliberately asked someone to tell the young man what he was doing in Suiyuexuan?"
"Who knows," Pei Yao smiled, "I've always been unable to guess what brother is thinking, so let him go."
Besides Pei Yao, Yan Zhao was the one who couldn't figure out what Pei Zhan was thinking. After that night, his relationship with Pei Zhan changed again. In the past, he avoided Pei Zhan, but now Pei Zhan avoided him. If you don't go, Fuzhong is not here, you won't even be able to see each other, let alone talk, this is something Yan Zhao didn't expect.
When he stood behind Mr. Gui with a gloomy face, staring at the closed door in front of him and sinking his eyes, he lifted his foot and kicked hard, the door slammed, and a woman's exclamation came from the room, Then the scent of powder mixed with the scent of wine wafted out, so strong that he frowned, with a look of disgust on his face.
Mr. Gui was a little afraid of offending this aggressive guest, so he backed away consciously.
Yan Zhao carried the sedan chair into the room, and his eyes fell on the man sitting in the main seat. He drank alcohol without changing his face, as if he was not interested in the sudden movement, surrounded by two winks like silk wearing thin clothes The girl's collar was torn open a bit, revealing her bronzed chest, with a lip print on it, a little obscene and ambiguous, it's not difficult to see how exciting a male-female love was interrupted.
One of the girls was sitting in Pei Zhan's arms, and was stared at by Yan Zhao. She didn't know what the identity of this young man was, but she was probably not a small person if he could make Mr. Gui in the building so afraid. She peeled off her own skin. For some reason, the girl panicked. She wanted to get up subconsciously. As soon as she made a movement, she was pressed into her arms. She looked up at the man who was hugging her in a daze, only to find that the man's His eyes were not on himself, but on the young master who was standing in front of the door and couldn't get in or out.
"Why don't you come here for training on the school grounds? Go back and receive your own punishment for violating military discipline again and again, together with the previous few times." Pei Zhan picked up his glass and took a sip.
Listening to his words, I don't know why Yan Zhao felt a little wronged, his eyes were red and full of anger, he wished to kill that woman and burn this Suiyuexuan to nothing. , A little bit of grievance and displeasure can get angry at anyone, this is the first time that the anger is suppressed abruptly, and even asked a little flatteringly: "Why don't you go to the school ground?"
"It's something." Pei Zhan said in a cold voice.
"No one will teach me how to practice a gun without you here."
"You're smart, just think about it yourself."
"I can't, you have to teach me." Yan Zhao gritted his teeth and said.
Pei Zhan frowned, and his expression was a little impatient, "I just agreed with Zhen Guogong to let you go to the school to hone, but I didn't agree to teach you personally. It depends on the work of the baby doll, let's find a wet nurse."
This sentence made Yan Zhao vent all his anger, rushed over and pulled the woman out of Pei Zhan's arms, and said angrily: "This is what you said, you know how many benefactors they have been touched by how many people Well, you don’t think it’s dirty, Jin officials expressly forbid eating flower wine, believe it or not, I let my father visit your Pei’s house in front of the palace to dereliction of duty, you will never want to leave Lin’an in this life!”
"Yan Zhao," Pei Zhan sneered, "If you weren't born better, you would be inferior to anyone in this building."
Hearing this, Yan Zhao's eyes suddenly enlarged, his eyes were so red that he was about to cry, and he also knew that what he just said was inappropriate, so he lowered his eyes and said softly: "I just want to chat with you..."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Zhan grabbed the conversation, "I don't care about what happened last time. When you are young and don't know what to do, forget about those dirty thoughts. I will give you two choices now, or go back and get it." The one who was beaten to death will continue to be my grandson, or go back to be your little father-in-law. I won’t ask what you want to do, so you choose one.”
Yan Zhao bit his lower lip and asked unwillingly: "I can't do it?"
After the words fell, Pei Zhan frowned, and said displeasedly: "I don't want to."
After finishing speaking, Yan Zhao laughed at himself, turned around and left the room, staring at the back of the person leaving, Pei Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, he thought, this matter should be settled, Yan Zhao probably returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion, although it is a pity also good.
The sky is getting late, the rain and snow are getting heavier, the wind is blowing and blowing the branches, the shadows of the trees are swaying left and right under the candlelight, Qi Xi's figure is a little thin against the wall, she wraps her clothes tightly and stops the pen in her hand to wait. Get rid of the ink stains, it was Yushitai's official business for Yang Qin, she saw that Yang Qin was having a headache, but she didn't think of a way to do it.
Seeing Qi Xi heaved a sigh of relief, Ban Xia tactfully handed over hot tea, and looked down at the densely packed notes on the paper. I am still not satisfied with such a good lady as Miss, but Young Master still thinks about taking concubines, he really has no conscience."
Qi Xi took a sip of the hot tea, warmed up, and said calmly: "Yang Qin didn't mean that, don't talk nonsense, if he really wanted to take a concubine, he wouldn't be angrier than me."
"Isn't Miss mad at my uncle for taking a concubine?" Ban Xia was a little puzzled, "Then what is Miss mad at?"
"What are you angry about?" Qi Xu pondered for a while, she felt that she might be angry at Yang Qin's inaction, angry at his lack of progress, angry at his mediocrity, angry at him for not being able to memorize "University", angry at his doing You can mess up anything, but if you really want to talk about it, you are more angry with yourself, and you are forcing Yang Qin to change.
The twists and turns here are too complicated, Qi Xi didn't want to think deeply, and sighed: "It's not his fault, it's my fault."
Ban Xia didn't understand what it meant, and when she was about to ask, a weak voice suddenly came from her ear. She frowned and listened, with an unbelievable expression, "Miss, it seems that someone is talking?"
Qi Xu was also confused, his voice was very
Watching the sky, swan geese travel far away, the first day is approaching, cooking wine belongs to people.
The children on both sides of the street were talking, the white mist exhaled from their mouths was blown away by the wind, Lin'an has been getting colder and colder in the past few days, even though it hasn't snowed yet, it is already bitingly cold, the cold wind blows and hits the face It was like being scraped by a knife, and the hot oil and rice fragrance were still mixed in the wind. The smell was a bit mixed, not pleasant but full of freshness, which made the cold night a little more warm.
The common people are busy running around, all kinds of shouts come and go, and a few whispers come from time to time, they are still discussing the fact that Emperor Chengde has not been in court for several months. After dinner, everyone would have a few sneaky chats in private. The voices were not loud, but they were all just for entertainment. When they found something else to talk about, they would turn the page and talk about this year's harvest.
Qi Ran turned his eyes back and put down the curtain, frowning a little bit, the emperor hasn't been in court for a long time, and now all the affairs in the court are in charge of the Sangong, Emperor Chengde recuperates in the name of recuperating and does not show up, all kinds of news are transmitted It was through Yan Yi, Yan Yi even got the official position of a third-rank personal physician, and everything that came into Emperor Chengde's side had to go through his hands, and the scenery was infinite for a while.
As for King Liang, he has never been out of the palace. The incident of the prince's poisoning seems to have just turned upside down. There is no news in the palace. Everyone doesn't know what happened. Getting into trouble for the upper body, this day is like walking on thin ice, trembling, while busy with the affairs of their respective yamen, while thinking about the intention behind it.
There is no doubt that Emperor Chengde's illness has improved, but everyone can't figure out why he has improved and why he hasn't gone to court. Is it because he and Ji Si went in the wrong direction?Perhaps Emperor Chengde's condition has not improved?Or it is getting better but unable to go to court. There are two reasons for this, unable to move and unable to speak?
"Master," a voice from outside the sedan chair interrupted Qi Ran's thoughts, "Here we are."
Qi Ran stepped out of the sedan chair, and the guards of the Qi Mansion saw it was his young master's sedan chair from a distance, and when he saw someone coming out, he hurried up to greet him, "The second young master is back."
"Well," Qi Ran nodded, "Where's father?"
"Master Xiang is still in the palace and hasn't released his value yet. I guess the time will be a little longer."
"I'll go back to my room and change my clothes."
After Qi Ran finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. The guard hurriedly called him back, "Second Young Master, there are people waiting in the mansion. They have been waiting for a long time. The Eldest Young Master is about to send someone to call you back."
"Looking for me?"
"Well, my uncle and little general Pei."
Yang Yunchuan and Pei Qixiu?
Qi Ran frowned and was a little confused. Yang Yunchuan came to see him for nothing good, either to cry or to babble. As for Pei Qixiu, thinking about what happened a few days ago, he felt a little guilty and didn't want to see him immediately, but everyone was waiting in the hall Now, how can I say that if I don't see it, I won't see it. I rubbed my brows tiredly, "I'll go after I change my clothes."
When he changed his clothes and went to the front hall, his brother was chatting happily with the two uninvited guests whom he didn't want to see. They turned their heads when they heard the movement, and Qi Xu smiled and said, "Ah Heng is back. Coincidentally, Yun Chuan and Qi Xu Xiu is here to find you."
Hearing this, Qi Ran shifted his gaze to the two of them, sighed and sat down: "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Yang Qin and Pei Zhan looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were a little discouraged and began to give in to each other.
"I just came here to have a look and see how Ah Heng's illness is recovering. If there is anything General Pei has to do, General Pei will go first."
"Master Xiao Yang first, I'm just here to ask for a cup of tea and eat, and I'll leave later, it's nothing serious, there's nothing urgent, I'll talk about it another day."
"You go first, you go first."
"You first you first."
"You first you first..."
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry..."
......
Qi Ran looked at the two of them taking the tea handed over by the maid and blew it with drooping eyes, and said in a calm tone: "If you don't say anything, go out, don't come to me next time if you have something to do, I don't have time."
As soon as he said this, Yang Qin hurriedly looked at Pei Zhan, who hurriedly avoided his gaze and raised his head to pretend to look at the beams. The clothes looked like a rascal, he stared back at Qi Ran and sighed Said: "Ah Heng, you also know that I have been married to your elder sister for ten years, I am not young at all, and everyone at my age has both children..."
Speaking of this, Qi Ran sneered twice, scaring Yang Qin to quickly change his words: "Of course, this is not your sister's problem, it's because I am not good enough for her, but my mother doesn't know the truth, her old man and The other wives were so envious when they saw someone hugging their grandson while eating tea, but they asked me some insincere things when they returned home, but I fudged them away, and I didn't know who gave her the bad idea later, so they came back with a bunch of portraits of girls, and got up to give them to me. My concubine's thoughts..."
"You want to take a concubine!" Qi Xu's voice suddenly rose, interrupting his speech directly, with a very ugly expression on his face.
Yang Qin panicked, his feet softened and he almost slipped off the chair, he hurriedly supported the chair and took a careful look at Qi Ran who was sitting across from him, seeing that he was frowning tightly even though he didn't make a sound, he was already displeased She looked so cowardly, she hurriedly explained: "No...no... how dare I, I wouldn't even dare if you gave me ten guts. She told me that she was rejected by me with righteous words. I can't tolerate anyone else except Xiaoxi. I said that I only want to grow old with her. Isn't this a slap in the face? It's all my mother's own decision, I really don't know."
"Does sister know?" Qi Ran asked while holding a sip of tea.
Listening to the question, Yang Qin sighed, and said sadly: "Speaking of it, it's fate. You said it was a coincidence. When the matchmaker came to deliver the girl's portrait, Xiaoxi was watching me recite "University". The matchmaker's voice was louder. Yell knows everything."
Hearing this, Pei Zhan was very puzzled why Yang Yunchuan wanted to sweep the yard by himself, but he didn't know that this was not the time to ask about it, so he suppressed his curiosity and asked, "Then how did she react?"
"There was no reaction at all. She just smiled at me and asked me if I wanted to take a concubine. I immediately denied it. She nodded and said three words that was fine, and then left."
"Sister is angry." Qi Ran didn't beat him around the bush, and said straight to the point.
"Of course I know." Yang Qin grabbed the chair and moved a few steps towards Qi Ran's direction. He knew Qi Xi's temper, so he naturally knew that he was angry, especially when Qi Xi saw him these days, it was like seeing a transparent person. Similarly, Yu Guang didn't bring a handout, and suddenly wanted to die. He was so anxious that he asked with a mournful face, "Didn't I come to ask you to help me think of a way to make her happy?"
"There's nothing you can do, you can go." Qi Ran said this in a lukewarm manner.
"Don't, don't, don't," Yang Qin rushed over and walked around Qi Ran, the anxiety and panic on his face were beyond words, "Heng, your elder sister loves you the most, help me think of a way, isn't this common saying Is it well said, we would rather tear down a temple than destroy a marriage, we are still a family after all, do you really have the heart to see me and your sister have a bad relationship?"
Qi Ran was terribly annoyed by him, raised her eyes to look at the person, and snorted coldly for no apparent reason.
Yang Qin was puzzled by his reaction, he turned his head to look at Qi Xu after a second thought, and smiled cautiously: "Brother, look at this..."
"You're going to take a concubine, so why don't you ask us to help you? Yunchuan, this is the Qi Mansion, and the one you bullied is my sister. How do you think I can help you?" Qi Xu said angrily.
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't want to take a concubine. This is all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Pei Zhan looked back and forth at the three of them, then touched his chin and said indifferently: "Since it was a misunderstanding, why don't you just apologize, my Yao'er is usually angry and gives her something she likes to tease her , won't it be all right when she calms down?"
Hearing this, Qi Ran curled his lips into a smile, nodded in agreement and said in a warm voice: "Sister is arrogant, so I don't want you to take two concubines and maids and one husband. If you really don't have that in mind, why don't you just apologize and follow her?" Come to think of it, didn't you just say that she was urging you to memorize "University"? Sister has always liked talented people, so if you memorize the university and apologize in person, maybe she will forgive you."
"Ah?" Yang Qin looked a little embarrassed, "This endorsement..."
"It's a bit embarrassing for you, so there's nothing you can do about it." Qi Ran continued to take a sip of tea, as if I didn't do the same.
Yang Qin paced back and forth with a mournful face, pondered for a while and said: "Forget it, let's go all out, isn't it just memorizing a book, as long as she is happy, let alone college, I will memorize all four books and five classics for her."
Qi Xu knew what Qi Ranan was thinking, so he glanced sideways at him, the latter raised his eyes and smiled at him, the two brothers understood what they meant, they hoped that Qi Xi would have a better life than anyone else, Yang Qin It's a bit of an idiot, but he is indeed a good person, all he needs is some self-motivation and ability.
Yang Qin's mind has always been simple, and he couldn't figure out these twists and turns. He just thought that Qi Ran and the others were smart and came to find him. The method they said was naturally useful, and there was no doubt that they had ulterior motives. After figuring it out, he thanked Dade and left. It is estimated that he went back to the government to endorse.
As soon as the people left the hall, the hall suddenly became quiet, Qi Ran put down his teacup and raised his head at them, "It's your turn, who are you annoying and need me to find a solution?"
Pei Zhan looked at the two of them, opened his mouth and closed it, raised his hand and retracted it, hesitating and hesitating for a long time, his expression was awkward and responsible, he didn't know what he had thought of, and his ear tips were slightly red, his whole body looked tangled It was embarrassing and pretentious, repeating this for a long time and still not making a sound, just sighed and picked up the tea and dried it up.
Seeing his complicated and hypocritical attitude, Qi Ran already understood what he was going to say, and immediately felt even more guilty, so he had to look away and pretend to be staring at the trees in the courtyard in a daze, but his elder brother didn't know, he saw Pei Qixiu like this. The sub-listening and full posture let him relax and solve what happened together. In the end, he did not forget to drink a sip of tea dignifiedly.
Pei Zhan gritted his teeth hard, lowered his voice and said, "I was kissed."
"puff!"
Qi Xu took a sip of hot tea, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth to stabilize his mind.
"And then?" Qi Ran turned around and asked.
"Then I'm here to look for you. It's the first time I've encountered such a thing, and I don't know how to let you guide me." Pei Zhan stared at the person and yelled, "Why aren't you surprised?"
Qi Ran lied without changing his expression, "I'm surprised, very surprised, but the etiquette of the Qi family doesn't allow me to act out of dignity, it's really inappropriate to lose the etiquette."
Two people: "..."
Qi Xu glanced at him sideways, with a clear smile on his face, imitating his tone and asked again: "And then?"
The two brothers sang and played, making Pei Zhan a little confused, scratching his head and saying in distress: "Then I ran away."
"You...you ran away?" Qi Xu's expression was a bit complicated, his face full of disbelief, and he repeated, "You left the girl and ran away?"
"No..." Yan Guanqing's little bastard appeared in Pei Zhan's mind, and he wanted to deny it subconsciously, but he opened his mouth and felt that it was not appropriate, so he simply acquiesced to Qi Xu's guess, and said with a drooping face: "I haven't met before." Such a big scene, I was so panicked at the time, how could I have thought of so much."
Thinking of the embarrassment of Pei Zhan leaving in a panic that night, Qi Ran believed that he was terribly frightened, not to mention him, both himself and Ji Si were surprised, after all, no one would have thought of Zhen Guogong's little prince He developed feelings of admiration for Pei Qixiu. The two were at odds not long ago, but now the progress is something no one expected.
Ji Si stared at the two people kissing in the room, and then asked Qi Ran next to him in a fever: "From now on, Pei Qixiu and I have to call him senior brother and he call me cousin, so we can have our own opinions?"
Qi Ran just smiled and didn't answer at that time, he didn't know about Yan Zhao, but Pei Qixiu understood it very well, this person taught the young master as half apprentice and half junior in his words and deeds, it's rare to see such a Miaozi who is talented in military affairs cherishes his talent and intends to polish this rough jade. Naturally, he is more attentive in everything. Compared with others in the battalion, he is special, but it is far from that. The degree of love in the heart is more about the attitude of the elders towards the younger generation.
The two grew up together, old general Pei died in battle, and Pei Qixiu carried the entire Pei family. He spent more time in the military camp than in the mansion, where men gather together, and he is naturally enlightened about love affairs. Later, but it is not so hard to tell if you like men or women.
So in Qi Ran's view, this matter is nothing more than Young Master Yan's unrequited love. Pei Zhan doesn't like him, at least not at the moment.
Recalling the memory, Qi Ran looked at the man's sky-falling expression, couldn't help but hooked his lips and asked: "So why are you looking for us?"
"It's not because I'm thinking about it, I have a headache and I can't think of a way. I'm here to ask you for advice."
"What's so difficult about it? A girl likes you when she kisses you. This kind of affection does not hide the slightest bit. It is quite admirable. As a man, you always take advantage. If you also like her, how about Three letters, six engagements, three matchmakers and six ceremonies, the Ming matchmaker is marrying at the door of your Pei family, you are not too young, it's time to start a family and start a business, you don't know if you are leading soldiers outside to fight, the big and small affairs of this mansion are all on Yao'er, she has a future The girl who came out of the cabinet has to take care of everything. Miss Bie's is either embroidering or admiring flowers in the room. She deals with the abacus every day, and you don't think about it for her..."
"No, I..." Pei Zhan grabbed the conversation and wanted to explain.
Qi Xu didn't give him this chance, and continued to babble: "I know you are afraid of delaying other girls, but if a girl likes you, she has already taken the initiative to make you a joke. A girl's reputation is important , don’t you take advantage of it and still not admit it? I treat you like Ah Heng, I think your elder brother is looking forward to your family, as long as the family background is clean and the conduct is good, Qi Xiu, you should also have a mistress in Pei’s residence gone."
Qi Ran lowered his eyes to cover up the smile in his eyes. As an insider, he felt a little gloated when he heard this conversation, and nodded agreeingly, "What brother said is very true, you don't want to disappoint others' infatuation. Senior brother, I wish you the best of luck first." You are united forever."
"No, it's all here," Pei Zhan rubbed his brows with a headache, "I'm here to ask you to think of a way for me, not to force me to get married, and besides, I don't mean that to him, he ...Alas...Anyway, it's not what you think, I'm so confused, it's really annoying."
This development was beyond Qi Xu's thinking, he was stunned and asked: "The co-author is that girl's unrequited love, who dares to love, dare to hate, free and easy, her courage is better than many men in the world, but it's a pity, Luo Hua has intentions." Flowing water is ruthless, a good marriage is gone."
"Brother Zizhan, don't make fun of me," Pei Zhan sighed, "That kid is still young, and he is used to being lawless at home. I guess he doesn't know what he is doing. I guess he is following me. I feel upset for losing face, and embarrassing me by changing the way, how could this little ancestor please me, this is clearly torturing me, look at my eyes, I haven't slept for several nights."
"Well, he is indeed a little ancestor." Qi Ran said such a sentence from the side, causing the two people to look over, but he raised his eyebrows, as if he had nothing to do with himself.
This kind of behavior in Qi Xu's eyes already made him understand something, but Pei Zhan was so upset that he didn't go into it, and continued to worry: "How can I not lose his face, but also let him know this kind of injury to the enemy?" The method of harming oneself by a thousand is a bit boring, and I don't have that kind of thought about him."
Qi Ran said in a warm voice: "First of all, whether he likes you or humiliates you, he should be constantly disturbed by it. Since you don't have the heart, you can speak clearly, and explain all those things clearly. Make it clear, so you won't have to worry about it in the future."
Pei Zhan stroked his chin in thought, and felt that it was reasonable, and it was not an option for him to continue to hide from Yan Guanqing, so he had to make it clear, and asked, "Then what should I say?"
"How do I know." Qi Ran was neither hot nor cold.
"Why don't you know," Pei Zhan said anxiously, "You and the little prince..."
Qi Ran glared at him, Qi Xu laughed out loud, Pei Zhan immediately realized something was wrong and swallowed the words back, looked at the sky outside the courtyard, stood up and changed the subject, shouting, "Ah, it's so late, I have to go back to the school grounds It's gone, don't send it away."
When he came, he was in a hurry, and when he left, Qi Xu smiled and glanced at Qi Ran, "You know the person he said."
Although he said interrogative sentences, he used affirmative tone.
"Yeah." Qi Ran nodded, and told what happened that night in a few words, but skipped some scenes and the existence of Ji Si.
After hearing this, Qi Xu had a complicated expression on his face. He stared at Qi Ran with an inquiring gaze, but the latter looked at him in a daze, and asked suspiciously, "Why do you look at me like that, brother?"
"Ah, it's nothing." Qi Xu smiled and said, "Both the eldest princess and the Duke of Zhen love the little prince very much. He does everything according to his whim. Now that Qi Xiu is secretly in love, let this matter be left to others." It's unlikely, and it seems reasonable to put it on the young man, but Qi Xiu's attitude made it clear that he didn't mean it, and these two people don't know who owes whom."
"Let them go, some things cannot be forced."
"That's right, I'm tired after sitting for so long, I'll go back to my room and rest for a while."
After finishing speaking, Qi Xu got up, stopped in front of the door and walked back, hesitated for a while before softly saying to Qi Ran: "Ah Heng, it's better not to go to this small restaurant, you can't get out of here. Where can I bring Nian'er a stepmother back?"
Qi Ran's expression froze, and he suddenly understood what was going on with his brother's hesitant attitude just now, he couldn't help but want to explain, "Brother, I..."
"I know," Qi Xu cut off his words and said with a clear face: "You are happy with the little prince, but the little prince has passed away for so long, and you have done everything you should and shouldn't do. Private and public are enough, life will go on after all, I am very happy to see you come out of the matter of being a prince, alas, forget it, forget it, just pretend that you didn’t hear what you just said, if you really like it It doesn’t matter if you are in the small house, just bring it back, let me tell the father, you can do it boldly, our family can’t afford to support one person.”
Listening to Qi Xu's words, Qi Ran was amused and touched, and finally explained, "Brother misunderstood, but I happened to see it when I went to do some business, it's not what you think."
"Ahem, cough, it's a misunderstanding," Qi Xu smiled awkwardly, "You're not like that, but I care about it, and I'm confused. I'm really sleepy and confused. I'd better sleep and wake up."
Qi Ran stared at his brother's frail back, and found that he seemed to be thinner again, and the robe covered his bony body, looking baggy, as if a person would be blown if the wind was a little stronger.
He looked at it seriously, and suddenly thought that when Qi Xu had not been demoted, he was wearing a dark red official uniform, and walked through most of Lin'an City to return home in high spirits. Everyone admired the young master of the Qi family, when he returned to the mansion, the laughter came along with the voice, "Aran, I brought you the chestnut cake from the east of the city."
When he spoke, the ending sound with a smile seemed to be all his youthful spirit lashing out at Fang Qiu, but Qi Xu's Ling Yunzhi was smoothed out by the prison disaster, and those helplessness, sadness and unwillingness all faded away with time and became the past. The high-spirited Qi Zizhan back then has turned into the sick Young Master Qi.
There was a wind blowing in the courtyard, blowing up Qi Xu's hair, and the dead leaves on the trees fluttered down, barely covering people from a distance, with a single leaf blocking the eyes, not seeing autumn and winter.
Winter in Lin'an is coming.
The last dead leaf on the branch floated down unsteadily, swirling in mid-air, it fell very slowly, so slow that the little eunuch guarding outside the Kunyuan Hall could see the trajectory of whereabouts clearly, the cold wind was a bit Bitingly, the little eunuch shrank his head. Various noisy and chaotic voices came from the hall, including roaring and panic. He was a little curious and subconsciously turned his head to take a look. Just as he raised his eyes, he saw a few people standing in front of him.
The person standing in front is a celebrity in the palace, a miraculous doctor who healed the emperor, with a beard, but his appearance can still tell that he looks elegant and easy to get along with, and he smiled at the little eunuch, and then The door creaked open.
Sun Hai's face was a bit ugly, and he looked better when he saw the people outside the palace, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously: "Master Yan is finally here, if you don't come again, this little life of this old slave is really beautiful, Your Majesty is sick again Well, this time it's more serious than the previous few times, just now I went mad and stabbed a slave, my lord, go and have a look."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Sun, just wait for me to see."
After a few people walked in, the palace door was closed again, the little eunuch sighed and continued to stare at the dead leaves in a daze.
There is a lot of charcoal fire in the hall, and the heat blows directly into your face as soon as you enter, and the incense in the incense burner lingers for a long time, making you dizzy, Yan Yi frowned slightly, and followed Sun He didn't need to raise his head behind Hai to hear Emperor Chengde's roar. He saluted respectfully, "I have seen Your Majesty."
His voice interrupted the tense situation in the hall. Emperor Chengde looked back with gloomy eyes full of disturbed displeasure. When he saw the person coming, Yan Yihou restrained his ruthlessness slightly, and looked down at the front of him. The maid who was bloody and bloody and couldn't see her original appearance, her anger dissipated a little, she threw away the whip in her hand and took the handkerchief Sun Hai handed over. While wiping the blood stains from the operation, she walked around the bloody man and sat until soft. He collapsed and waved.
Yan Yi lowered his eyes and glanced at the court lady lying on the ground not far away, bowed and walked over to take the chair handed over by the eunuch and sat down, then put down the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow from it, and lightly handed Chengde Emperor Feel the pulse on it.
Sun Hai stood aside and looked at the bloody man with some disgust, and signaled the eunuch to move the man out and clean it up.
"Your Majesty's pulse is stable, and the dragon's body is in good health. There is nothing serious about it. It will be cured in a few days." Yan Yi withdrew his hand, got up and stood beside him and asked, "How has Your Majesty slept these few days?"
"I can't sleep. I've been restless in my heart for the past few days. As soon as I close my eyes..." He stopped here, reacted and skipped the topic directly, "I don't know why , Could it be because I contracted some strange disease again?"
"Your Majesty is worrying too much. The medicine I prepared for Your Majesty is quite strong. Your Majesty was sick and injured the dragon's body before, so it will naturally be a little weak if the foundation is damaged. It is normal to not be able to bear the medicine. When the dragon's body is recuperated, it will be able to bear it." You have to take the medicine, I will prepare some sedative medicine for His Majesty later, and His Majesty will be able to sleep well after taking it."
Emperor Chengde nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Yi, thanks to you for my old illness, if you have anything you want, feel free to mention it, as long as you take good care of my body, whether it is a high-ranking official, rich salary or rich clothes and fine food , I will reward you all."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Since Your Majesty said so, I will write it down, and I will come to ask Your Majesty to ask for it in person. At that time, Your Majesty must not think that I am greedy." Yan Yi said such a sentence in an unclear manner.
But Emperor Chengde didn't take it seriously, on the contrary, he was amused by his frankness, and laughed out loud: "Be greedy, people will have desires when they have greed, and they will be more like a person if they have desires." , I like dealing with people, hahahahahahaha."
Laughter echoed in the hall, inexplicably penetrating, Sun Hai looked and pushed the carved window open, a breeze blew in, and the bloody smell mixed with ambergris was blown away. His face was a little wet, Sun Hai stretched out his hand to catch the snow particles, which melted instantly on the palm of his hand.
It's going to snow.
He thought so in his heart.
However, the first snow in Lin'an seems to be slowing down this year, as if it has been delayed. It is still the snow particles, as if the crushed snowflakes melt into the winter rain and cold wind, blowing gently on people's faces. The cold can penetrate deep into the bone marrow and make people wrap their clothes tightly.
Yan Zhao stood outside General Dingwei's mansion, the rain and snow fell on his head and melted to form a thin layer of rain and mist. A gust of wind blew him up, and he shivered. I rubbed my hands together to feel warmer.
After waiting for a while, footsteps came from not far away. He heard the movement and quickly stretched his neck. Seeing the servants of the general's mansion, he rushed up and said, "How is it? Where is your general?"
The servants of Pei's mansion replied respectfully: "My lord, it's unfortunate that you came, my general just went out and it's very cold outside, if you have something urgent, why don't you go into the mansion and wait for the general to come back, and have a cup of hot tea along the way. "
"Going out again!" Yan Zhao frowned and said displeasedly: "When I came the day before yesterday, you told me that he was not at the house and went out. Why is he not at the house today? Where did he go? You should know. "
"This..." The servant looked embarrassed, and laughed softly, "Isn't the young master embarrassing the little one, how dare this servant ask about the master's affairs, the little one really doesn't know where the general has gone... ..."
Before the words fell, Yan Zhao kicked the man to the ground, and shouted at him angrily: "If you don't say it, I will cut off one of your hands today, sir!"
The servant was so frightened that he endured the pain and got up and said anxiously, "The little one said, the little one said, the general went to Suiyuexuan, and said that you came to ask and let us pretend that we don't know."
"Broken Moon Pavilion?" Yan Zhao squinted his eyes and repeated in his mouth, then turned and left in a hurry.
When they walked away, the servants of Pei's mansion got up tremblingly with the support of others, turned around and walked out from behind the door, as if standing for a long time, he bowed and saluted: "Miss."
"Well," Pei Yao nodded, and said softly, "Go to the cashier to receive the reward."
"Miss Xie."
After Pei Yao finished speaking, she turned and entered the mansion, and the maid next to her asked puzzledly: "Miss, the general deliberately asked someone to tell the young man what he was doing in Suiyuexuan?"
"Who knows," Pei Yao smiled, "I've always been unable to guess what brother is thinking, so let him go."
Besides Pei Yao, Yan Zhao was the one who couldn't figure out what Pei Zhan was thinking. After that night, his relationship with Pei Zhan changed again. In the past, he avoided Pei Zhan, but now Pei Zhan avoided him. If you don't go, Fuzhong is not here, you won't even be able to see each other, let alone talk, this is something Yan Zhao didn't expect.
When he stood behind Mr. Gui with a gloomy face, staring at the closed door in front of him and sinking his eyes, he lifted his foot and kicked hard, the door slammed, and a woman's exclamation came from the room, Then the scent of powder mixed with the scent of wine wafted out, so strong that he frowned, with a look of disgust on his face.
Mr. Gui was a little afraid of offending this aggressive guest, so he backed away consciously.
Yan Zhao carried the sedan chair into the room, and his eyes fell on the man sitting in the main seat. He drank alcohol without changing his face, as if he was not interested in the sudden movement, surrounded by two winks like silk wearing thin clothes The girl's collar was torn open a bit, revealing her bronzed chest, with a lip print on it, a little obscene and ambiguous, it's not difficult to see how exciting a male-female love was interrupted.
One of the girls was sitting in Pei Zhan's arms, and was stared at by Yan Zhao. She didn't know what the identity of this young man was, but she was probably not a small person if he could make Mr. Gui in the building so afraid. She peeled off her own skin. For some reason, the girl panicked. She wanted to get up subconsciously. As soon as she made a movement, she was pressed into her arms. She looked up at the man who was hugging her in a daze, only to find that the man's His eyes were not on himself, but on the young master who was standing in front of the door and couldn't get in or out.
"Why don't you come here for training on the school grounds? Go back and receive your own punishment for violating military discipline again and again, together with the previous few times." Pei Zhan picked up his glass and took a sip.
Listening to his words, I don't know why Yan Zhao felt a little wronged, his eyes were red and full of anger, he wished to kill that woman and burn this Suiyuexuan to nothing. , A little bit of grievance and displeasure can get angry at anyone, this is the first time that the anger is suppressed abruptly, and even asked a little flatteringly: "Why don't you go to the school ground?"
"It's something." Pei Zhan said in a cold voice.
"No one will teach me how to practice a gun without you here."
"You're smart, just think about it yourself."
"I can't, you have to teach me." Yan Zhao gritted his teeth and said.
Pei Zhan frowned, and his expression was a little impatient, "I just agreed with Zhen Guogong to let you go to the school to hone, but I didn't agree to teach you personally. It depends on the work of the baby doll, let's find a wet nurse."
This sentence made Yan Zhao vent all his anger, rushed over and pulled the woman out of Pei Zhan's arms, and said angrily: "This is what you said, you know how many benefactors they have been touched by how many people Well, you don’t think it’s dirty, Jin officials expressly forbid eating flower wine, believe it or not, I let my father visit your Pei’s house in front of the palace to dereliction of duty, you will never want to leave Lin’an in this life!”
"Yan Zhao," Pei Zhan sneered, "If you weren't born better, you would be inferior to anyone in this building."
Hearing this, Yan Zhao's eyes suddenly enlarged, his eyes were so red that he was about to cry, and he also knew that what he just said was inappropriate, so he lowered his eyes and said softly: "I just want to chat with you..."
Before he finished speaking, Pei Zhan grabbed the conversation, "I don't care about what happened last time. When you are young and don't know what to do, forget about those dirty thoughts. I will give you two choices now, or go back and get it." The one who was beaten to death will continue to be my grandson, or go back to be your little father-in-law. I won’t ask what you want to do, so you choose one.”
Yan Zhao bit his lower lip and asked unwillingly: "I can't do it?"
After the words fell, Pei Zhan frowned, and said displeasedly: "I don't want to."
After finishing speaking, Yan Zhao laughed at himself, turned around and left the room, staring at the back of the person leaving, Pei Zhan heaved a sigh of relief, he thought, this matter should be settled, Yan Zhao probably returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion, although it is a pity also good.
The sky is getting late, the rain and snow are getting heavier, the wind is blowing and blowing the branches, the shadows of the trees are swaying left and right under the candlelight, Qi Xi's figure is a little thin against the wall, she wraps her clothes tightly and stops the pen in her hand to wait. Get rid of the ink stains, it was Yushitai's official business for Yang Qin, she saw that Yang Qin was having a headache, but she didn't think of a way to do it.
Seeing Qi Xi heaved a sigh of relief, Ban Xia tactfully handed over hot tea, and looked down at the densely packed notes on the paper. I am still not satisfied with such a good lady as Miss, but Young Master still thinks about taking concubines, he really has no conscience."
Qi Xi took a sip of the hot tea, warmed up, and said calmly: "Yang Qin didn't mean that, don't talk nonsense, if he really wanted to take a concubine, he wouldn't be angrier than me."
"Isn't Miss mad at my uncle for taking a concubine?" Ban Xia was a little puzzled, "Then what is Miss mad at?"
"What are you angry about?" Qi Xu pondered for a while, she felt that she might be angry at Yang Qin's inaction, angry at his lack of progress, angry at his mediocrity, angry at him for not being able to memorize "University", angry at his doing You can mess up anything, but if you really want to talk about it, you are more angry with yourself, and you are forcing Yang Qin to change.
The twists and turns here are too complicated, Qi Xi didn't want to think deeply, and sighed: "It's not his fault, it's my fault."
Ban Xia didn't understand what it meant, and when she was about to ask, a weak voice suddenly came from her ear. She frowned and listened, with an unbelievable expression, "Miss, it seems that someone is talking?"
Qi Xu was also confused, his voice was very
