Opposite the entrance hall

It's the coldest time of spring, and it's so cold that even a man like Ji Si can suffer from the cold, let alone Qi Nian, who is thin and weak, has a fever after returning home from the mountain. The Qi Mansion was busy up and down all night before cooling him down.

No matter how well-behaved and obedient the young master is, he is only a half-grown child. After going through such a situation, someone his age would have already cried and acted like a spoiled child. He is not, but he is very sensible and tells Qi Xiang and the others not to worry. , Said he was fine.

Qi Ran was worried and stayed by his bed all night. He heard him having nightmares, crying for his father and mother, sighed in his heart, and gently hugged him in his arms and coaxed him to sleep. There was a long night of trouble He didn't go back to his room either, and when he was sleepy, he squatted on the side of the bed rail for a while, and just made do with the work.

When the sun shone into the room, the door creaked and was pushed open. Qi Ran's eyelids trembled slightly. He slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He rubbed the back of his neck, which had been stiff all night, and asked softly, "What time is it?" ?”

The servant who entered the door put the washbasin on the noodle stand, handed over the wet handkerchief, and replied with his head down: "It's time, the second young master, why don't you go back to the house to rest for a while, the young master here is a servant who will guard you." , you didn’t rest all night, the weather is so cold, don’t exhaust yourself.”

Qi Ran didn't reply, just took the handkerchief and gently wiped Qi Nian's neck and fingers.

The attendant slightly raised his head and glanced at the bed, seeing Qi Nian's pale face full of distress, and his tone was full of self-blame, "It's all the slave's fault, if the slave is by the young master's side, everything will be fine, if the young master is a little Anyway, I'm not enough to apologize with death."

"I don't blame you," Qi Ran said in a flat tone, "I sent you to do other things. If you say it like this, you can blame me. Besides, he is getting older and must have the ability to protect himself. I don’t know where I learned the kung fu taught.”

After speaking, he handed back the handkerchief, raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, and continued to ask: "How did you go about the investigation?"

"The servant followed the second young master's instructions and went to check the path where the servant's parents fell off the cliff, but still found nothing." There was some hatred and sadness in his words.

Hearing this, Qi Ran frowned, feeling that the matter here was even more confusing, like a ball of thread that couldn't find the end.

"Second Young Master," the attendant sighed, "Thanks to you these years, although I am not smart, I also understand that things behind this are messy, really..."

"I'm not helping you," Qi Ran interrupted him, "I'm just for..."

Speaking of him, he fell silent again, swallowed his saliva, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry, if it really threatens Qi Mansion, I won't care about it."

At this moment, the attendant slowly raised his head, the sunlight outside the window sill hit his right side of the face, one left and one right, one dark and one bright, his eyes were red, the fundus of his eyes was black, and his eyes were full of gratitude.

If Jisi was here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this person was his chubby boy, Chen Pingan. Although his appearance was three points similar, this person obviously had nothing to do with the word fat, and he was taller than he was six years ago. Many, the body is straight, the whole body is a bit cold and gloomy, the whole body is like ink, thick people can't see the bottom, it is very different from Chen Pingan's heartless appearance, there is nothing the same.

Qi Ran watched the little fat man turn into the person in front of him, as if he saw him stealing snacks from the plate while he was talking to Li Bang, and Li Bang slapped him on the back of his hand with a pitiful appearance of wanting to cry without tears.

But now, everything is different.

He slowly got up from the chair, and said to Chen Pingan: "I'll go back to the room first, if Nian'er wakes up, you can come and let me know."

"Yes."

Walking out of the house, the rising sun was a bit dazzling. Qi Ran turned his head slightly to adjust for a while, but instead of going back to his own room, he turned around and went to Qi Xi's yard. Yang Yunchuan, who looks like a little daughter-in-law, stands at the door with his head bowed, like a big yellow dog that no one wants.

Seeing Qi Ran approaching, Yang Qin immediately raised his head and chest, put his hands behind his back, with a steady and mature look, "Ah Heng, how is Nian'er, is it all right?"

"Why were you at Hongfu Temple yesterday?" Qi Ran didn't talk to him, and went straight to the point.

Yang Qin was stunned. He was actually quite afraid of his two elder brothers-in-law, especially Qi Ziheng. When he and Qi Ran first got married, Qi Xi didn't think much of him at all. Feeling aggrieved and angry, he followed a group of cronies and gangsters to hang out in the brothel. At that time, Qi Ziheng was not the young minister of Dali Temple, nor did he become the top three yuan list. He was just a half-year-old boy. The tiger is fierce and ruthless, and there is no room for sand in its eyes.

I don't know who leaked the news, he took his own sword, followed by the young prince Li Si, kicked open the box of the brothel, swung his wrist hard, and the iron-cut sword was stably inserted into his body. Between his legs, he was only a millimeter away from the eunuch. He was so scared that he just stayed where he was.

Second Young Master Qi doesn't talk too much, he only has one sentence when he enters the door, "If you can't control it, I'll help you get rid of it!"

After speaking, he was dragged away by the little prince with a sword.

Perhaps it was because this incident cast a heavy shadow on Yang Qin, which made him feel quite scared all the time. Hearing his question at this time, he was shocked, and even more frightened, for fear that he would fly over with a sword in a while.

What did he say, saying that I went to Hualou and brought a girl out, led her around in front of your sister, arranged someone to tease your sister, and then went to rescue her?

oh!He is not a fool!

After pondering for a moment, Yang Qin immediately had an idea, and hurriedly explained: "It's all Ji Si's fault!"

"Ji Si?" Qi Ran repeated it.

"That's right, that's him," Yang Qin nodded repeatedly, "He's not a good guy, he can't make friends at all, he's very scheming, his mind is full of heresy things, I feel ashamed for him Panic, you have to give me some bad ideas. Am I the kind of person who walks in crooked ways? Of course not. I can't do it."

Qi Ran remained silent with a cold face, and continued to listen to his nonsense.

Yang Qin looked at his brother-in-law's expression from the corner of his eye, feeling even more uncertain, but now that the point has been reached, he could only bite the bullet and continue, "I rejected him with righteous words, and gave him a hard push." Push it away, yelling with righteous words, I said that I, Yang Yunchuan, have been upright and upright all my life, a frank and honest man, my daughter-in-law's natal family is a well-known etiquette family in Lin'an, a model family, how could I lose them by doing these nasty things As for the face, it is impossible to learn the script skills, and it is impossible in this life."

These words not only praised himself, but also praised the Qi family. After speaking, he nodded his head to show his affirmation.

After listening to what he said in class, Qi Ran clearly didn't believe it, but as Qi Xiang said, what's the point of meddling in the affairs of their husband and wife, it's just a joke for others, not to mention that so many years have passed , anyone can see what Yang Qin thinks about Qi Xi.

Among other things, Qi Xi made seven mistakes after being married for many years without any heirs.

But Yang Qin not only didn't do that, he didn't even accept a concubine, only one Qi Xi was on his mind, which was why Qi Ran was so unhappy with him, but he didn't really do anything to him.

He glanced sideways at the closed courtyard door, then at Yang Qin who had been waiting for an unknown amount of time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't embarrass him, but said softly: "You have a head on your neck. Let it move once in a while, and it won't be that much of a problem."

After saying this, he bypassed Young Master Yang and left.

Young Master Yang looked back at Qi Ran who was walking away, touched the back of his neck and muttered: "Why do I feel that he is calling me stupid?"

Then he shook his head, and continued to lie on the door and yell weakly, "Lady, Xiaoxi, Xier, open the door and listen to my explanation..."

When Qi Ran heard Yang Qin's voice behind him, he thought it was a little funny, and he understood what his father meant. Some feelings were day and night, and some were long-term companionship. Yang Qin and the others probably belonged to the latter.

When he was planning to go back to his own yard, he saw Qi Kuangshan standing by the lake just after turning the corner. He was a little taken aback, but he still walked over and respectfully said, "Father."

Hearing the sound, Qi Kuangshan turned his head to look at him, then turned his eyes back to look at the lake, and said in a calm tone, "How is Nian'er?"

"It's all right now."

"He is still young, you are not young, how can you let him go to the lake alone, I just trained your sister, tell me, how did you become a father!" Qi Xiang was a little angry.

After being scolded all over the face, Qi Ran was not angry, and said calmly: "I was careless this time, there will never be a next time."

"I owe Ji Si a great favor this time, and the debt is easy to repay, but the debt is hard to repay!" Qi Kuangshan sighed, "Let's not talk about it, what do you think about the flood in Xiangzhou?"

Qi Ran frowned and thought for a while, "Difficult!"

"It's not just difficult. Your Majesty made it clear that he didn't want to transfer the money, but he also wanted to protect his reputation. Prince Liang and the others entered the palace one by one. Unsurprisingly, King Qin is also coming soon."

"King Qin?" Qi Ran repeated the name again, "Even if His Majesty really uses this to test the prince and the others, what does it mean for King Qin to return to the capital?"

"Chu people are good beasts. They have sharp claws, are brave and mighty, and have the temperament of a warrior. They are captured and put into cages to watch them. After a long time, the beasts are as sick as poultry. At this time, a mountain butcher came up with a plan to kill them. A cage is so strange! The wild beast is so powerful and aggressive that it wants to swallow others in its belly. The existence of the King of Qin is a wake-up call from His Majesty to the prince and the others. If there is a struggle, there will be a fight, and if there is a fight, there will be success or failure. If you lose, you will be bandits, if you win, you will be king."

Speaking of this, Qi Xiang turned his head and glanced at Qi Ran, "Ah Heng, no matter how docile the beasts are, they are all ferocious beasts, and they will show their animal nature whenever they have the opportunity."

Hearing this, Qi Ran smiled and said, "Man is the best of all things, and I am afraid that a mere beast will fail, so I will fight against it."

The arrogance in these words is very similar to his tone when he was a teenager.

Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, and laughed out loud the next moment, "That's good, but it's just a beast, so what's so scary!"

When the soldiers come, they will cover themselves with water and soil.

Fear of death is weak.

The weak feed!
