Seeing Xu Yan's offended appearance, Qi Huai sat down with a smug smile, made tea by himself, and let Xu Yan still drift.
Qi Huai had picked up the teacup to drink tea, Xu Yan came back to his senses a little bit, sat down beside him, and without talking about business, he asked, "Quickly tell me! Which girl is it! What a fellow! Even your flower Tianshan snow lotus can be picked successfully!"
Qi Huai was amused by him, but pretended to be complacent, but didn't say anything.
"Hurry up and tell the senior brother! When will we get married? I'm ready to prepare the money! Will you call the siblings out to see you tomorrow?"
"We'll talk about it later."
"Don't! How about I go see you now?! Have you ever proposed a marriage? Ouch! I'm so anxious! Tell me quickly, so you can teach me, I also want to marry a wife!"
Qi Huai became serious again: "Senior brother, a person like me doesn't know what the final outcome will be, so how can he be free to respond to others for life?"
After Xu Yan heard this, he went "blind": "It turns out that he hasn't been deceived yet!"
"..."
Xu Yan was neither curious nor envious, so he sat back and grabbed the teapot to drink water.
Qi Huai was not happy.
Xu Yan gloated: "Don't stare at me, just like your dog, if you really like someone, you don't care about the future, even if you die, you will drag him along with you. Only one person can make you say such things. It's a possibility, they didn't agree to you at all! Or they don't like you, hahahahaha..."
Qi Huai gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
He really hasn't tricked Qi Zhinian yet.
Even Qi Zhinian only regards him as his father, maybe he still has a sweetheart in his heart.
Seeing Qi Huai getting so angry, Xu Yan smiled secretly, and began to talk about serious things: "I just came back, and I don't know how your place has been these past few months, come and tell me, what's the matter of entering the palace today Son?"
Some things, Xu Yan will know eventually, Qi Huai said directly: "The person I have my eyes on is Qi Zhinian."
"Pfft——" Xu Yan spit out the water he was drinking, and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!!"
Qi Huai kindly handed him a handkerchief: "Cough slowly."
Xu Yan coughed for a long time, but finally he could only give Qi Huai a thumbs up.
Xu Yan stopped coughing, and said, "Let me tell you, why did you attack the Jiang family right now? I also heard that Qi Zhinian and Jiang Qiniang went to the south of the Yangtze River?"
"They have returned to Beijing."
"Tsk tsk, I think he wanted to leave on his own, so you dragged him back?"
Qi Huai said nothing, but his expression was proud.
Xu Yan also stopped provoking him, and asked him: "The past few months when I'm not here, it seems to be very exciting, I see you like this, are you serious this time?"
Qi Huai just smiled, in fact, as long as Qi Zhinian treats him as his father, it doesn't matter whether it's real or not.
Besides, as he said just now, he doesn't know what his future will be like. If he will end up in seclusion, or if he fails, and the lights go out, it will be fine if Qi Zhinian only treats him as his father. Qi Zhinian is not too sad.
Now he just puts Qi Zhinian in front of his eyes, so that he can take care of him for one more day, that's all.
Xu Yan knew it in his mind, and said, "Then Qi Zhinian's identity won't make any sense anymore. Speaking of which, does he know who his biological father is?"
"I don't know." Qi Huai paused, and then said, "I don't intend to let him know, just let this matter become an eternal secret, and I don't want to drag him into this matter again."
"Alright, if you know the truth about this kind of thing, it's better not to know. Since more than ten years have passed, why bother? It's not a good thing at all." Xu Yan tapped his finger on the table, "What do you think? But do you want to drag Zhao Chujin into the water?"
"Qi Zhinian is Qi Zhinian, Zhao Chujin is Zhao Chujin, they have nothing to do with each other. This pool of water is completely muddy, and Zhao Chujin has to come."
Xu Yan nodded, thought for a while and laughed again: "I heard from people in Dongshanzhai that Zhao Chujin dug a new gold mine there. , I'm afraid this gold mine is more usable than Qi Zhinian."
Qi Huai took it for granted, indeed, in this world today, money is needed for everything, especially those with certain purposes.
If you have money, you can recruit soldiers, and if you have money, there will be people who are willing to go through life and death for you.
It has always been that money can turn ghosts around.
In the Zhuangzi of the eldest princess on the mountain, after the mother of the Jiang family left, before dark, the palace sent someone.
It was Wang Shun, the great eunuch in front of the emperor. He smiled obsequiously. First, he read the imperial decree. The emperor rewarded him with many things.
He couldn't help being curious, what did Qi Huai say when he entered the palace?
After receiving the imperial decree from Wang Shun, Cheng Qu stepped forward and stuffed Wang Shun with a thick purse.
Wang Shun smiled so that his eyes were narrowed into a slit, and he bent slightly, and said in a more amiable and flattering tone: "Xiao Langjun, when His Majesty sent the villain, he said that he would send you to live in that house directly." Woolen cloth."
Qi Zhinian originally thought that he would give him a house and put it there, just like the Zhuangzi given by the emperor in the past, and he will live with Jiang Qiniang in the future.
The emperor said so directly, I am afraid that it is a house that has been repaired a long time ago.
Then there was no other way, since it was the emperor's will after all, Qi Zhinian had no choice but to get on the carriage with Jiang Qiniang and go to the mansion rewarded by the emperor.
As a result, the road became more and more wrong, until the carriage stopped at the gate of Wen Yuan.
Wang Shun waited outside the carriage with a smile. Seeing Qi Zhinian getting off the carriage, he rushed to help him, flattering him again and again: "Your Majesty is well aware of the deep friendship between the Duke and Mr. Xiaolang, and I heard that Mr. Xiaolang loves hot springs and plum trees. , and heard the Duke said that there is a good garden here, so he decided to reward it to Xiao Langjun!"
"..."
Qi Zhinian is not an idiot, although these words made him quite uncomfortable, he still followed Wang Shun's words, with fear and gratitude at the same time, never revealing his dislike for the emperor.
Cheng Qu took the opportunity to stuff another purse for Wang Shun. Feeling the thickness of the purse, Wang Shun immediately started to cry, and he was about to call the Duke a living Bodhisattva, and Qi Zhinian was that little Bodhisattva.
Finally, after finishing his emotions, Wang Shun finally mentioned that he would return to the palace to return to his life, and was sent away by Cheng Qu.
The rest of Qi Zhinian and the others stood at the door, looking at each other, without Jiang Qiniang opening her mouth, Qi Zhinian also knew that her mother would not live here, and she would never dare to touch her because it was related to Qi Huai. The emperor did not force Jiang Qiniang to live here too.
Mother Fan said: "My wife and I should go live in the house given by Jiang's family. Your Majesty has ordered that you can only live here alone, my lady. Fortunately, my wife's house is not far from here. It’s far away, so it’s convenient to move around in the future.”
Qi Zhinian nodded helplessly.
So they got into the carriage together again, and Qi Zhinian sent Jiang Qiniang and Mother Fan to the house given by the Jiang family. Of course, the house that the Jiang family sent at this time did not dare to send the dilapidated one. Not only is it not broken, but it is also very delicate. , everything inside is complete, and you can move in immediately.
They will definitely have to clean up by themselves in the future, but it is getting late at this time, so they can't take care of that much for the time being.
Jiang Qiniang told Qi Zhinian to go back quickly, after all, it was a house rewarded by His Majesty, how could it be unoccupied on the first night.
Cheng Qu kept a few people here, and those who just moved into the empty house must guard it.
Both Xiao Wu and Huang Lian left with Qi Zhinian. On the way back to Wenyuan, Qi Zhinian thought about going to see Lin Xiuxiu's mother and daughter tomorrow, and asked them if they would like to live with Jiang Qiniang.
He wanted to repay the Lin family's mother and daughter, and also wanted to protect them, so that they could take care of each other by living together.
I thought about a lot of things on the way, and returned to Wenyuan after a while.
At this time, the night was very deep, Qi Zhinian himself thought it was funny thinking about running around all day.
The carriage finally stopped in front of a strange courtyard. Qi Zhinian got off the carriage and looked back many times. He wanted to ask Qi Huai if he hadn't come back yet, but he felt that the word "come back" seemed inappropriate?
But he wanted to see Qi Huai.
He stood by the door for a long time, but he didn't see Cheng Qu coming in, but Nanny Ji came out to meet him, so he had no choice but to follow in first.
Walking into the yard, I found that this place is almost exactly the same as Qingyinju.
Nanny Ji and the others kept telling him this and that happily. They put a lot of thought into it, so Qi Zhinian had no choice but to watch and appreciate it with a smile on his face. Before eating, he couldn't help it and asked: " Is he not coming..."
Nanny Ji was stunned for a moment before realizing that "he" refers to Qi Huai.
To be honest, Nanny Ji and the others have long been used to living without Qi Huai. After all, Qi Huai has often been away from home in the past ten years.
After Qi Zhinian came back, they felt that their life was back to the past. Although Qi Huai was their master, but the following sentence is wrong, in fact, as long as Qi Zhinian comes back, everyone is still together. same way...
But seeing Qi Zhinian's expectant eyes, Nanny Ji smiled and said: "The Duke has his own affairs to be busy with, so you don't have to wait for him. After dinner, take a shower and rest early. Rest for a few days, Huh?" Sir, you can come to sit in the restaurant at home, and you are still the same as before!"
Xiaoya also laughed: "Yes!"
The maids in the room were all from Qingyin Juli of the Duke's Mansion, and they all smiled and said "yes" upon hearing this.
They all thought that a few words of comfort would be enough, and Qi Zhinian was like this in the past.
Qi Zhinian could only forcefully smile and say "yes".
Only Xiao Song is as depressed as Qi Zhinian, but Xiao Song has another emotion, which is panic and worry.
There is no longer any doubt, the mark on Xiao Langjun's neck must have been made by the Duke!
So, what does the Duke of the country think of their little lord?
It was not that there were no masculine people in the dynasty. There were a lot of these things in the rich and high mansions, and they heard about them a lot. They said that the well-known King of An Jun, Zhao Chujin, was famous for his broken sleeves. The beautiful men all over the capital, that is, their country's grandfather, is too domineering, and he didn't dare to deal with him since he was a child.
There are regulations in this dynasty, but all the brothers of the emperor must go to the fief after the emperor ascends the throne.
When it was the turn of the current emperor, he was adopted, and the real biological brother had nothing to do with him. All the biological sons of the late emperor had passed away, and there was only Zhao Chujin, the King of An County.
Said he was the son of the first emperor, and it was true. The first emperor snatched his minister's wife into the palace to become a noble concubine. After the minister died, he took other people's son into the palace by the way, changed his name and surname to raise him as his own, and even raised him as his own son. I named the county prince early and announced to the world that this is my son, and no one is allowed to bully him.
The emperor had the best reputation, so of course he didn't dare to bully him. After the late emperor left, he held it high.
It's really not easy to be sent to the fiefdom with the status of King Ke'an, and he lives in Beijing.
The king of Pian'an County is domineering and flamboyant, and he is full of romantic debts, which makes the capital go crazy. Many men are jealous of him, and they go to the emperor. The emperor has a headache. Before he gets married, is he sent to the southwest? The fiefdom, the sky is high and the earth is far away to toss by himself, he, the emperor, can't control it, and he doesn't want to control it anymore!
Up to now, this Prince An's temperament is still the same, it is said that he is still not married, the emperor intended to give him a marriage before, and he was scolded by him.
But that's all. No matter how masculine, there is no one who does not marry a wife and have children, except for the weird and confident King An.
Can the eldest princess allow the Duke not to marry a wife and have children?
Then what will their young master do!
It's true that Xiao Song is from the Duke's Mansion, but if something happens, she will naturally stand by Qi Zhinian's side!
Look at the ignorant look of their little lord, who doesn't understand anything, what is the Duke of the country going to do...
She was very worried.
Originally, she was able to live outside with Mrs. Jiang, but she was actually quite relieved secretly. At least Jiang Qiniang was here, and their Duke would not dare to go there.
Unexpectedly, their grandpa still kept this hand!
There was laughter in the room, and after a while, Cheng Qu came, still holding the box in his hand.
When Qi Zhinian saw him coming, he immediately stood up and looked behind him from time to time, even though he knew that if Qi Huai really came, how could he walk behind Cheng Qu, he couldn't help but look.
Cheng Qu handed the box to Qi Zhinian: "Xiao Langjun, it was just delivered from the city, and the Duke has re-registered your household registration today, take a look."
Qi Zhinian opened it and saw that it was indeed a new household registration document, and his name had also been changed to Qi Kui.
From now on, he will completely stand on his own.
Cheng Qu said with a smile: "In a few days, go to the Ministry of Rites to verify your identity. Then the subordinate will resign first!"
"...Wait!" Qi Zhinian hurriedly called him to stop.
Cheng Qu turned to look at him.
"Then what about him..."
Cheng Qu laughed again: "After the Duke entered the palace, his subordinates came here. I don't know where the Duke is at this time."
"Oh……"
Qi Zhinian was soaked in disappointment, Cheng Qu couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly slipped away.
Back at Duke's Mansion, Qi Huai was still talking in Xu Yan's study, within fifty feet of the study, not even a bird was seen, after all, the two hadn't seen each other for several months, and there were many things to explain.
After Guang Yanbo led the team to Linmu, it has been delayed since the Chinese New Year until now, and the You Clan has not let anyone go.
The emperor is ready to send a second group of people to the northwest.
Originally thought that Uncle Guangyan and the others went there with sincerity, and they could always exchange money for officials, so the emperor did not send many officials to take over. Extremely short of people.
This was originally discussed by Qi Huai and Xu Yan, and they could also place more of their own people in Linmu City.
When it came to nightfall, the two of them had a hasty meal, and after dinner they talked with the night light for more than an hour before Qi Huai let Xu Yan go to rest.
Qi Huai made a cup of tea and asked Cheng Qu to come in.
Cheng Qu explained clearly what Qi Zhinian did today, where he went, what he said, etc.
Qi Huai was worried, so he asked a few more questions, such as asking if Qi Zhinian had a good meal, whether he was tired after running around all day, and if the Jiang family had given Qi Zhinian a good look.
Cheng Qu smiled: "Which of them would dare to show Xiao Langjun's face! Now I'm afraid I won't be able to hold his thigh! I see, this is because not many people know where Xiao Langjun lives now. If they know, the threshold is probably too early. It was trampled!"
Qi Huai smiled, indeed, the world is like this.
In the past, he avoided like a snake and a scorpion, but now that Qi Zhinian is getting up again, he still can't beat her up vigorously.
He ordered: "Do not disclose his residence."
"Don't worry, all the subordinates know!"
Qi Huai served tea, but Cheng Qu did not leave, Qi Huai looked at him: "Is there anything else?"
"Uh, Mr. Xiao Lang has been waiting for you to go back since he woke up in the morning. He asked you several times a day. When I was leaving, he was still looking at me eagerly..."
Qi Huai sighed inwardly.
Why isn't he worried about Qi Zhinian, but it's really not appropriate for him and Qi Zhinian to meet each other often.
Qi Zhinian regarded him as his father, but he—
The sword practice last night was indeed too bitter.
If one day he can't hold it, Qi Zhinian will probably hate him and hate him.
Seeing Qi Huai like this, Cheng Qu didn't have much to say, he was just a subordinate, how could he make decisions for the master, he bowed and then withdrew.
Qi Huai held the teacup in his hand, and didn't take a sip until it got cold.
Qi Zhinian's eager look has already been sketched in his mind.
After a long time, he sighed again. After all, he put down the teacup, opened the door and left the courtyard.
Before the city gate was closed, Qi Huai rode out of the city alone, riding fast all the way, and arrived at Wenyuan in half an hour.
Qi Zhinian had already washed up, changed into pajamas and lay on the bed. Logically speaking, he should be very sleepy today. After all, he ran so many places in a day without stopping his feet, but he never felt sleepy.
He grabbed the quilt with both hands, showing a little fingertips, looking at the top of the bed in a daze.
Tonight is Xiao Song's vigil, and he has already fallen asleep on the Arhat bed outside the inner room. In order not to worry her, he dare not make any movement and keeps this position all the time.
After staying in the dark for a long time, his vision became clearer and his hearing became more sensitive. He suddenly heard a "rustle" sound. He grabbed the quilt tightly and immediately found that the sound came from the window closest to the end of the bed.
Is it a little plum blossom or a little rabbit?
But he remembered that they were sleeping in their nests in the garden, if they woke up and looked for them, the maids would have already found them.
What could it be... Could it be some other small animal?
There are many flowers and trees in the garden, so there is no guarantee that there will be no other small animals.
Just thinking about this, there was a soft "click", the window had been opened, it seemed that someone had turned in, and then there were very light footsteps, this was the sound of human footsteps!
Qi Zhinian gripped the quilt even tighter, and couldn't help thinking, could it be a thief? !
His hand hurriedly felt under the pillow. During the few months he lived outside, he always kept a short knife under his pillow, which was to guard against bad guys.But at this moment, when he felt empty, he realized that it was no longer the time to squeeze into the narrow hut with his mother and mother, and there were many people outside to accompany him.
Qi Zhinian withdrew his hand, touched the small bedside cabinet, found a small box covered with gold at the corners, and stared at the bed curtain.
Turning in from the window, if you want to walk, you have to pass the bed, as long as there is a shadow on the curtain, he will smash the small box over! !
Just thinking about it, the figure really came!
Qi Zhinian tensed up all over, and saw that the black shadow on the tent was getting bigger and bigger, and finally almost stuck to the tent, "Hiss..." With a very soft voice, the tent was pulled open, Qi Zhinian closed his eyes, Without hesitation, he smashed out the box in his hand, and shouted: "Xiao Song!!! Come here!!! Quickly——"
He didn't hear the expected sound of being hit, Qi Zhinian slowly opened his eyes, looked up along the small box in his hand, saw the familiar silhouette with his back to the moonlight, he fell silent.
"Xiao Langjun!!!" Xiao Song rushed in wearing a coat, holding the vase that was nearby in his hand, "What's wrong!!!"
Qi Huai, who was standing by the bed, turned to look at her with an expressionless face.
"..." Xiao Song hurriedly stopped, but staggered, almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Song stabilized himself, and stared blankly at Qi Huai.
Qi Huai smiled and broke the silence: "Are you treating me as a thief?"
More people outside the door heard the movement and rushed over, shouting as they ran, "What happened?!"
Qi Zhinian bent his knees, covered his face with his hands in shame, then put down his hands, exposed his face from the tent, and whispered: "Xiao Song... you go out first..."
"Oh, oh!" Xiao Song turned around immediately, and took out those who hadn't rushed in, "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Xiao Lang was frozen just now, I have closed the window for him."
Only then did the crowd leave, Xiao Song closed the door of the inner room tightly for them, but the people walked around anxiously outside.
What are you doing here in the middle of the night!
The inner room fell silent again, Qi Zhinian was ashamed to look at Qi Huai again.
Qi Huai laughed, and said: "I'm also very vigilant, so I can feel relieved."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Qi Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his heart was lifted again. What does this mean?
Qi Huai bent down and put the small box beside his pillow, turned around to leave: "Sleep well, I'll go first—"
His back froze unconsciously, and Qi Zhinian hugged him tightly from behind.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at Qi Zhinian's palms folded in front of him in the dark night.
Qi Zhinian was already bored on his back, and asked softly, "Are you going to stop me? You know that we are not father and son, so you don't care about me anymore, do you?"
Qi Huai didn't speak.
Qi Zhinian felt even more bitter and uncomfortable, he asked: "You just think that I was kicked out of the house because of you, and then I left the capital and went to the south of the Yangtze River, you pity me, so you want to keep me, don't you?
"You don't plan to take care of me anymore, that's why you resettled me, and that's why you went to the palace to ask the emperor to give me so many things, give me a place to live, and even asked the Jiang family to return things to my mother... …
"You don't plan to care about me anymore, so after you left in the morning, you didn't show up again. You don't plan to see me anymore...Is that so..."
Qi Zhinian's voice was already filled with tears, this was something he finally figured out after thinking about it all night.
Qi Huai sighed secretly, and said softly: "If I don't care about you, why should I come to see you?"
"You thought I came here only when I fell asleep! You plan to watch me quietly and leave! You just said that, so you can rest assured, you said you are relieved of me, and you don't care about me... woo woo woo ..."
Qi Zhinian really burst into tears, and hugged Qi Huai's waist even tighter, wishing his body could be embedded in Qi Huai's body.
Qi Huai raised his head and sighed, the sky is going to kill him.
The author has something to say:
感谢在2021-11-3021:17:24~2021-12-0118:11:51期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Qi Huai had picked up the teacup to drink tea, Xu Yan came back to his senses a little bit, sat down beside him, and without talking about business, he asked, "Quickly tell me! Which girl is it! What a fellow! Even your flower Tianshan snow lotus can be picked successfully!"
Qi Huai was amused by him, but pretended to be complacent, but didn't say anything.
"Hurry up and tell the senior brother! When will we get married? I'm ready to prepare the money! Will you call the siblings out to see you tomorrow?"
"We'll talk about it later."
"Don't! How about I go see you now?! Have you ever proposed a marriage? Ouch! I'm so anxious! Tell me quickly, so you can teach me, I also want to marry a wife!"
Qi Huai became serious again: "Senior brother, a person like me doesn't know what the final outcome will be, so how can he be free to respond to others for life?"
After Xu Yan heard this, he went "blind": "It turns out that he hasn't been deceived yet!"
"..."
Xu Yan was neither curious nor envious, so he sat back and grabbed the teapot to drink water.
Qi Huai was not happy.

Qi Huai gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
He really hasn't tricked Qi Zhinian yet.
Even Qi Zhinian only regards him as his father, maybe he still has a sweetheart in his heart.
Seeing Qi Huai getting so angry, Xu Yan smiled secretly, and began to talk about serious things: "I just came back, and I don't know how your place has been these past few months, come and tell me, what's the matter of entering the palace today Son?"
Some things, Xu Yan will know eventually, Qi Huai said directly: "The person I have my eyes on is Qi Zhinian."
"Pfft——" Xu Yan spit out the water he was drinking, and coughed violently, "Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough!!"
Qi Huai kindly handed him a handkerchief: "Cough slowly."
Xu Yan coughed for a long time, but finally he could only give Qi Huai a thumbs up.
Xu Yan stopped coughing, and said, "Let me tell you, why did you attack the Jiang family right now? I also heard that Qi Zhinian and Jiang Qiniang went to the south of the Yangtze River?"
"They have returned to Beijing."
"Tsk tsk, I think he wanted to leave on his own, so you dragged him back?"
Qi Huai said nothing, but his expression was proud.
Xu Yan also stopped provoking him, and asked him: "The past few months when I'm not here, it seems to be very exciting, I see you like this, are you serious this time?"

"Qi Zhinian is Qi Zhinian, Zhao Chujin is Zhao Chujin, they have nothing to do with each other. This pool of water is completely muddy, and Zhao Chujin has to come."
Xu Yan nodded, thought for a while and laughed again: "I heard from people in Dongshanzhai that Zhao Chujin dug a new gold mine there. , I'm afraid this gold mine is more usable than Qi Zhinian."
Qi Huai took it for granted, indeed, in this world today, money is needed for everything, especially those with certain purposes.

Finally, after finishing his emotions, Wang Shun finally mentioned that he would return to the palace to return to his life, and was sent away by Cheng Qu.
The rest of Qi Zhinian and the others stood at the door, looking at each other, without Jiang Qiniang opening her mouth, Qi Zhinian also knew that her mother would not live here, and she would never dare to touch her because it was related to Qi Huai. The emperor did not force Jiang Qiniang to live here too.
Mother Fan said: "My wife and I should go live in the house given by Jiang's family. Your Majesty has ordered that you can only live here alone, my lady. Fortunately, my wife's house is not far from here. It’s far away, so it’s convenient to move around in the future.”
Qi Zhinian nodded helplessly.
So they got into the carriage together again, and Qi Zhinian sent Jiang Qiniang and Mother Fan to the house given by the Jiang family. Of course, the house that the Jiang family sent at this time did not dare to send the dilapidated one. Not only is it not broken, but it is also very delicate. , everything inside is complete, and you can move in immediately.
They will definitely have to clean up by themselves in the future, but it is getting late at this time, so they can't take care of that much for the time being.
Jiang Qiniang told Qi Zhinian to go back quickly, after all, it was a house rewarded by His Majesty, how could it be unoccupied on the first night.
Cheng Qu kept a few people here, and those who just moved into the empty house must guard it.
Both Xiao Wu and Huang Lian left with Qi Zhinian. On the way back to Wenyuan, Qi Zhinian thought about going to see Lin Xiuxiu's mother and daughter tomorrow, and asked them if they would like to live with Jiang Qiniang.
He wanted to repay the Lin family's mother and daughter, and also wanted to protect them, so that they could take care of each other by living together.
I thought about a lot of things on the way, and returned to Wenyuan after a while.
At this time, the night was very deep, Qi Zhinian himself thought it was funny thinking about running around all day.
The carriage finally stopped in front of a strange courtyard. Qi Zhinian got off the carriage and looked back many times. He wanted to ask Qi Huai if he hadn't come back yet, but he felt that the word "come back" seemed inappropriate?
But he wanted to see Qi Huai.
He stood by the door for a long time, but he didn't see Cheng Qu coming in, but Nanny Ji came out to meet him, so he had no choice but to follow in first.
Walking into the yard, I found that this place is almost exactly the same as Qingyinju.
Nanny Ji and the others kept telling him this and that happily. They put a lot of thought into it, so Qi Zhinian had no choice but to watch and appreciate it with a smile on his face. Before eating, he couldn't help it and asked: " Is he not coming..."
Nanny Ji was stunned for a moment before realizing that "he" refers to Qi Huai.
To be honest, Nanny Ji and the others have long been used to living without Qi Huai. After all, Qi Huai has often been away from home in the past ten years.
After Qi Zhinian came back, they felt that their life was back to the past. Although Qi Huai was their master, but the following sentence is wrong, in fact, as long as Qi Zhinian comes back, everyone is still together. same way...
But seeing Qi Zhinian's expectant eyes, Nanny Ji smiled and said: "The Duke has his own affairs to be busy with, so you don't have to wait for him. After dinner, take a shower and rest early. Rest for a few days, Huh?" Sir, you can come to sit in the restaurant at home, and you are still the same as before!"
Xiaoya also laughed: "Yes!"
The maids in the room were all from Qingyin Juli of the Duke's Mansion, and they all smiled and said "yes" upon hearing this.
They all thought that a few words of comfort would be enough, and Qi Zhinian was like this in the past.
Qi Zhinian could only forcefully smile and say "yes".
Only Xiao Song is as depressed as Qi Zhinian, but Xiao Song has another emotion, which is panic and worry.
There is no longer any doubt, the mark on Xiao Langjun's neck must have been made by the Duke!
So, what does the Duke of the country think of their little lord?
It was not that there were no masculine people in the dynasty. There were a lot of these things in the rich and high mansions, and they heard about them a lot. They said that the well-known King of An Jun, Zhao Chujin, was famous for his broken sleeves. The beautiful men all over the capital, that is, their country's grandfather, is too domineering, and he didn't dare to deal with him since he was a child.
There are regulations in this dynasty, but all the brothers of the emperor must go to the fief after the emperor ascends the throne.
When it was the turn of the current emperor, he was adopted, and the real biological brother had nothing to do with him. All the biological sons of the late emperor had passed away, and there was only Zhao Chujin, the King of An County.
Said he was the son of the first emperor, and it was true. The first emperor snatched his minister's wife into the palace to become a noble concubine. After the minister died, he took other people's son into the palace by the way, changed his name and surname to raise him as his own, and even raised him as his own son. I named the county prince early and announced to the world that this is my son, and no one is allowed to bully him.
The emperor had the best reputation, so of course he didn't dare to bully him. After the late emperor left, he held it high.
It's really not easy to be sent to the fiefdom with the status of King Ke'an, and he lives in Beijing.
The king of Pian'an County is domineering and flamboyant, and he is full of romantic debts, which makes the capital go crazy. Many men are jealous of him, and they go to the emperor. The emperor has a headache. Before he gets married, is he sent to the southwest? The fiefdom, the sky is high and the earth is far away to toss by himself, he, the emperor, can't control it, and he doesn't want to control it anymore!
Up to now, this Prince An's temperament is still the same, it is said that he is still not married, the emperor intended to give him a marriage before, and he was scolded by him.
But that's all. No matter how masculine, there is no one who does not marry a wife and have children, except for the weird and confident King An.
Can the eldest princess allow the Duke not to marry a wife and have children?
Then what will their young master do!
It's true that Xiao Song is from the Duke's Mansion, but if something happens, she will naturally stand by Qi Zhinian's side!
Look at the ignorant look of their little lord, who doesn't understand anything, what is the Duke of the country going to do...
She was very worried.
Originally, she was able to live outside with Mrs. Jiang, but she was actually quite relieved secretly. At least Jiang Qiniang was here, and their Duke would not dare to go there.
Unexpectedly, their grandpa still kept this hand!
There was laughter in the room, and after a while, Cheng Qu came, still holding the box in his hand.
When Qi Zhinian saw him coming, he immediately stood up and looked behind him from time to time, even though he knew that if Qi Huai really came, how could he walk behind Cheng Qu, he couldn't help but look.
Cheng Qu handed the box to Qi Zhinian: "Xiao Langjun, it was just delivered from the city, and the Duke has re-registered your household registration today, take a look."
Qi Zhinian opened it and saw that it was indeed a new household registration document, and his name had also been changed to Qi Kui.
From now on, he will completely stand on his own.
Cheng Qu said with a smile: "In a few days, go to the Ministry of Rites to verify your identity. Then the subordinate will resign first!"
"...Wait!" Qi Zhinian hurriedly called him to stop.
Cheng Qu turned to look at him.
"Then what about him..."
Cheng Qu laughed again: "After the Duke entered the palace, his subordinates came here. I don't know where the Duke is at this time."
"Oh……"
Qi Zhinian was soaked in disappointment, Cheng Qu couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly slipped away.
Back at Duke's Mansion, Qi Huai was still talking in Xu Yan's study, within fifty feet of the study, not even a bird was seen, after all, the two hadn't seen each other for several months, and there were many things to explain.
After Guang Yanbo led the team to Linmu, it has been delayed since the Chinese New Year until now, and the You Clan has not let anyone go.
The emperor is ready to send a second group of people to the northwest.
Originally thought that Uncle Guangyan and the others went there with sincerity, and they could always exchange money for officials, so the emperor did not send many officials to take over. Extremely short of people.
This was originally discussed by Qi Huai and Xu Yan, and they could also place more of their own people in Linmu City.
When it came to nightfall, the two of them had a hasty meal, and after dinner they talked with the night light for more than an hour before Qi Huai let Xu Yan go to rest.
Qi Huai made a cup of tea and asked Cheng Qu to come in.
Cheng Qu explained clearly what Qi Zhinian did today, where he went, what he said, etc.
Qi Huai was worried, so he asked a few more questions, such as asking if Qi Zhinian had a good meal, whether he was tired after running around all day, and if the Jiang family had given Qi Zhinian a good look.
Cheng Qu smiled: "Which of them would dare to show Xiao Langjun's face! Now I'm afraid I won't be able to hold his thigh! I see, this is because not many people know where Xiao Langjun lives now. If they know, the threshold is probably too early. It was trampled!"
Qi Huai smiled, indeed, the world is like this.
In the past, he avoided like a snake and a scorpion, but now that Qi Zhinian is getting up again, he still can't beat her up vigorously.
He ordered: "Do not disclose his residence."
"Don't worry, all the subordinates know!"
Qi Huai served tea, but Cheng Qu did not leave, Qi Huai looked at him: "Is there anything else?"
"Uh, Mr. Xiao Lang has been waiting for you to go back since he woke up in the morning. He asked you several times a day. When I was leaving, he was still looking at me eagerly..."
Qi Huai sighed inwardly.
Why isn't he worried about Qi Zhinian, but it's really not appropriate for him and Qi Zhinian to meet each other often.
Qi Zhinian regarded him as his father, but he—
The sword practice last night was indeed too bitter.
If one day he can't hold it, Qi Zhinian will probably hate him and hate him.
Seeing Qi Huai like this, Cheng Qu didn't have much to say, he was just a subordinate, how could he make decisions for the master, he bowed and then withdrew.
Qi Huai held the teacup in his hand, and didn't take a sip until it got cold.
Qi Zhinian's eager look has already been sketched in his mind.
After a long time, he sighed again. After all, he put down the teacup, opened the door and left the courtyard.
Before the city gate was closed, Qi Huai rode out of the city alone, riding fast all the way, and arrived at Wenyuan in half an hour.
Qi Zhinian had already washed up, changed into pajamas and lay on the bed. Logically speaking, he should be very sleepy today. After all, he ran so many places in a day without stopping his feet, but he never felt sleepy.
He grabbed the quilt with both hands, showing a little fingertips, looking at the top of the bed in a daze.
Tonight is Xiao Song's vigil, and he has already fallen asleep on the Arhat bed outside the inner room. In order not to worry her, he dare not make any movement and keeps this position all the time.
After staying in the dark for a long time, his vision became clearer and his hearing became more sensitive. He suddenly heard a "rustle" sound. He grabbed the quilt tightly and immediately found that the sound came from the window closest to the end of the bed.
Is it a little plum blossom or a little rabbit?
But he remembered that they were sleeping in their nests in the garden, if they woke up and looked for them, the maids would have already found them.
What could it be... Could it be some other small animal?
There are many flowers and trees in the garden, so there is no guarantee that there will be no other small animals.
Just thinking about this, there was a soft "click", the window had been opened, it seemed that someone had turned in, and then there were very light footsteps, this was the sound of human footsteps!
Qi Zhinian gripped the quilt even tighter, and couldn't help thinking, could it be a thief? !
His hand hurriedly felt under the pillow. During the few months he lived outside, he always kept a short knife under his pillow, which was to guard against bad guys.But at this moment, when he felt empty, he realized that it was no longer the time to squeeze into the narrow hut with his mother and mother, and there were many people outside to accompany him.
Qi Zhinian withdrew his hand, touched the small bedside cabinet, found a small box covered with gold at the corners, and stared at the bed curtain.
Turning in from the window, if you want to walk, you have to pass the bed, as long as there is a shadow on the curtain, he will smash the small box over! !
Just thinking about it, the figure really came!
Qi Zhinian tensed up all over, and saw that the black shadow on the tent was getting bigger and bigger, and finally almost stuck to the tent, "Hiss..." With a very soft voice, the tent was pulled open, Qi Zhinian closed his eyes, Without hesitation, he smashed out the box in his hand, and shouted: "Xiao Song!!! Come here!!! Quickly——"
He didn't hear the expected sound of being hit, Qi Zhinian slowly opened his eyes, looked up along the small box in his hand, saw the familiar silhouette with his back to the moonlight, he fell silent.
"Xiao Langjun!!!" Xiao Song rushed in wearing a coat, holding the vase that was nearby in his hand, "What's wrong!!!"
Qi Huai, who was standing by the bed, turned to look at her with an expressionless face.
"..." Xiao Song hurriedly stopped, but staggered, almost fell to the ground.
Xiao Song stabilized himself, and stared blankly at Qi Huai.
Qi Huai smiled and broke the silence: "Are you treating me as a thief?"
More people outside the door heard the movement and rushed over, shouting as they ran, "What happened?!"
Qi Zhinian bent his knees, covered his face with his hands in shame, then put down his hands, exposed his face from the tent, and whispered: "Xiao Song... you go out first..."
"Oh, oh!" Xiao Song turned around immediately, and took out those who hadn't rushed in, "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Xiao Lang was frozen just now, I have closed the window for him."
Only then did the crowd leave, Xiao Song closed the door of the inner room tightly for them, but the people walked around anxiously outside.
What are you doing here in the middle of the night!
The inner room fell silent again, Qi Zhinian was ashamed to look at Qi Huai again.
Qi Huai laughed, and said: "I'm also very vigilant, so I can feel relieved."
After listening to the first half of the sentence, Qi Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his heart was lifted again. What does this mean?
Qi Huai bent down and put the small box beside his pillow, turned around to leave: "Sleep well, I'll go first—"
His back froze unconsciously, and Qi Zhinian hugged him tightly from behind.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at Qi Zhinian's palms folded in front of him in the dark night.
Qi Zhinian was already bored on his back, and asked softly, "Are you going to stop me? You know that we are not father and son, so you don't care about me anymore, do you?"
Qi Huai didn't speak.
Qi Zhinian felt even more bitter and uncomfortable, he asked: "You just think that I was kicked out of the house because of you, and then I left the capital and went to the south of the Yangtze River, you pity me, so you want to keep me, don't you?
"You don't plan to take care of me anymore, that's why you resettled me, and that's why you went to the palace to ask the emperor to give me so many things, give me a place to live, and even asked the Jiang family to return things to my mother... …
"You don't plan to care about me anymore, so after you left in the morning, you didn't show up again. You don't plan to see me anymore...Is that so..."
Qi Zhinian's voice was already filled with tears, this was something he finally figured out after thinking about it all night.
Qi Huai sighed secretly, and said softly: "If I don't care about you, why should I come to see you?"
"You thought I came here only when I fell asleep! You plan to watch me quietly and leave! You just said that, so you can rest assured, you said you are relieved of me, and you don't care about me... woo woo woo ..."
Qi Zhinian really burst into tears, and hugged Qi Huai's waist even tighter, wishing his body could be embedded in Qi Huai's body.
Qi Huai raised his head and sighed, the sky is going to kill him.
