Chapter Ninety-Five: Invitation (Two Watches in the Middle of the Night~)
Bao Qi listened to the breathing beside him, as if he was not asleep, his mood was not yet calm, he suddenly thought of something, and said slowly in a clear voice, "Mr. Gongsun today, I talked to you......"
"Go to bed early. β
Bao Qi didn't finish speaking, she didn't ask Yun'er what she said to persuade the son, Qi Rong's voice was low, it had already sounded in the night, obviously warm as the wind, but with a calm sense of security, and most importantly, Bao Qi's hand exposed on his side was actually grabbed by the other party, slender and warm, gentle and powerful, holding Bao Qi's little hands in the palm of his hand.
Just like the sentence go to bed earlier, even the other party's heartbeat and temperature were transmitted to Bao Qi's heart with the palm of his hand, Bao Qi felt that his face must be red, but he was inexplicably relieved, the heartbeat that couldn't be pressed down, but it slowly calmed down, and finally only spit out a shallow um, and the corners of his lips hung with an arc that he couldn't see, and he fell asleep.
Qi Rong waited until the breathing around him gradually calmed down, and the snails in his palms gradually relaxed, no longer stiff, Qi Rong's eyes melted into the dark night like a deep sea, moved his body slightly, looked at the figure on his side in a daze, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep with a calm heartbeat.
In the following days, there was nothing to do, Bao Qi did not mention the matter of praying for the day again, and Mrs. Qi did not send anyone over to ask more, and Helan's mood gradually settled down from the beginning of the half-hanging and half-peace.
The weather is getting colder, and it has entered July, and the injuries of Bao Qi and Hua Xi have slowly recovered, but Bao Qi has broken the skin, and after the blood scab has fallen off, it has left a shallow white mark.
Bao Qi also left some for Yun'er, they are all girls' families, she understands everyone's love for beauty, not to mention that the other party is still injured in order to protect herself, since then, Bao Qi treats Yun'er more differently from others.
It's just that these days have come down. Bao Qi found another thing, although this matter was well covered up and not easy to care about, but Bao Qi now paid far more attention to Qi Rong than before. The most important thing is that the **** found a drop of dark liquid next to the vase at the head of the bed.
Bao Qi thought even more about the past few days, since the last time he saw the injury, it seemed that he had never seen Qi Rong drink medicine again, not that he didn't drink it. But every time I drink medicine, I can just be out of front of me, even if it is just a short time after turning around, and when I come back to my senses, the medicine bowl is already empty.
If it weren't for the meticulous observation, some medicines could even be said to have been 'drunk' in front of Bao Qi, and they would not cause any doubts at all, until Bao Qi saw the traces of the quick drying, and a worry quickly flashed in his eyes, and he quickly wiped off the traces on the ground.
Before Bao Qi could ask Qi Rong. But another piece of news came from the courtyard, which suddenly broke the calm of the days.
It turned out that the maid in Mrs. Qi's yard came to pass the word, and in fifteen days it was Mrs. Ling's birthday, and then Mrs. Qi was going to go to celebrate her birthday as a guest.
The maid left after passing the word, and she didn't say anything superfluous, Bao Qi didn't have time to ask, so she had to look at Qi Rong with some unresponsiveness. He slowed down his thoughts before he spoke, "Mrs. Ling, but is it Gongzi Ling's mansion?"
Qi Rong sat in the study and let go of the scroll in his hand. In recent days, although his face is still as pale as before, his spirit has improved a little, so he has spent more time in the study than before. I didn't even ask for a gift.
Now Qi Rong walked out of the study and responded to Bao Qi's question, "Lingfu is a scholarly family, the ancestors have been rewarded by the emperor, they have been protected by the ancestors, the scholarly heirloom, and the current saint has also personally given a plaque, and Mr. Ling has also been named a Confucian Duke by the emperor, and he can read the world's books, but he can be hereditary." β
After listening to what Qi Rong said, Bao Qi smiled lightly and said bluntly, "Wen Rugong, you can read books all over the world, even if it is a false name, it is also a supreme grace. No wonder Ling Gongzi looks polite and polite, with a bit of a different literati style. β
Qi Rong saw that she understood everything, nodded approvingly, but his face did not relax, and he continued to say, "Mrs. Ling celebrates her birthday every year, although it is lively but also low-key, I think it will not be out of place this year, but this invitation has been handed to you, and it seems that she is also thoughtful." β
Bao Qi glanced at Qi Rong and said lightly, "Although I don't know why the other party invited me, I think it is also a scholarly portal that values etiquette, but this will definitely not be reminded by our wife, maybe I didn't think about letting me go with me at first." β
Bao Qi's guess is indeed right, although Mrs. Qi mentioned before, she never thought about taking Bao Qi to celebrate her birthday, first, she didn't want to see Bao Qi, and secondly, in front of all the people with heads and faces, she gave Bao Qi a face, this Qi Mansion is easy to enter, but if you want to be recognized by the government, you have to weigh your identity and status.
Mrs. Qi has a good calculation, she has been thinking about the birthday gift for the past few days, after all, she still likes Ling Ji very much, and if she can marry the other party, their Qi Mansion will not lose at all, so this congratulatory gift is very attentive.
But what she never expected was that in Mrs. Ling's invitation, she was not only mentioned, but also specially written about the new young lady who entered the door, Jian Baochai, the eldest young grandmother of Qi Mansion!
When Mrs. Qi saw the post at that time, she was so angry that she almost threw the post to the ground, pointed to the invitation on the table and trembled angrily, and said with a cold and ugly face, "This Confucian Mansion, the etiquette is really thoughtful, and no cat or dog can fall!"
Qingyue also saw the post just now, and knew the reason why Mrs. Qi was angry, so she hurriedly stepped forward to pinch Mrs. Qi's shoulder and beat her back, and comforted her in a playful voice, "Madame, don't be angry, don't be impatient, if you lose your body for such a person, it's not worth it, you still have to consider the second young master's family affairs." β
Although the reason is understood, Mrs. Qi is still angry enough, she recruited a maid at random, and sent it to Bao Qi to spread the word after a few words, and even Qingyue was not dispatched, which almost let all the subordinates see the attitude of Mrs. to the eldest and young grandmother.
After the people sent over retreated, Mrs. Qi heard Qingyue say a few more words, so she relieved her anger a little, dipped her tea and lowered the fire, "She thinks she can sue sΓΉ, what can she represent, hmph, the young grandmother of Qi Mansion, it's not so easy to be!"
Qingyue shrewdly rolled her eyes, rubbed Mrs. Qi's shoulders, and at the same time observed Mrs. Qi's complexion and said, "The young grandmother of the Qi Mansion, of course, is not so easy to be, not only Madame, you are strict, but the people outside have seen it, and they are also strict, those Mrs. Qi have a lot more etiquette." β
After Qingyue finished speaking, she sighed very incomprehensibly, as if Mrs. Qi's request was the best standard, and those official wives loved to find trouble!
