Chapter 9: Past Enemies
"Master, let me take care of the small things in the inner courtyard, and I just want to do my best as a mother. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhou couldn't help but interrupt him, and then smiled: "It just so happens that there are a few very sensible girls in my house, and dialing it to Nian'er will also save her worry and trouble." ”
"No need. Qi Junliang didn't even look at her, he only walked to the hall with Qi Nian, and said indifferently: "Qi Bo has already taken care of everything, so don't worry about Mrs. Lao." ”
Zhou saw that he had been well prepared for a long time, and because this girl was so comprehensive, he couldn't help but hate itchy. Her virtuousness has always been only for Qi Junliang to see, and the people of the Qi Mansion are even more strict and harsh, showing the majesty of the master, and she is impatient to win people's hearts but is ruthless, but she can be regarded as a good ruler and takes care of the Qi Mansion in an orderly manner. At this time, seeing that Qi Nian was just a young girl who had not yet grown up, he didn't bother to hide the disgust in his heart, and glared at her fiercely.
Qi Nian didn't see it, and lowered his eyes as if he was extremely docile. She couldn't help sneering in her heart, this Zhou family was really as stupid and arrogant as in her previous life, except for being vicious, others were not qualified to be opponents.
Walking through the front yard and into the hall, I saw dozens of masters and servants standing respectfully in the hall, all smiling and waiting for the return of the head of the house. This is the rule of Qi Mansion, because Qi Junliang always runs around to talk about business and catch up with the goods yard on weekdays, and there are always few days when Qi Mansion can reunite. So whenever he wanted to go back to the house, Zhou instructed the aunts and ladies to wait in the hall with the young masters and ladies, no matter how late it was, they had to wait until the master returned to the house before he could use chopsticks to eat. Her behavior made Qi Junliang very pleased, and although she was ruthless and affectionate, she also had a little respect. Therefore, when Zhou saw him in public for Qi Nian to show his face in public, his heart was even more uncomfortable as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he just wanted to eat Qi Nian.
"Nian'er, I have come to see several of your aunts and brothers and sisters. When Qi Junliang saw such a large family, he finally had a little smile on his face, and immediately ordered his subordinates to put wine and food in the dining room, and led everyone to dinner. He sat down on the main seat by himself, but smiled and let Qi Nian sit on the first seat on his left.
Zhou's face turned blue when she saw it, that was the seat of her biological daughter Shu'er on weekdays!
Everyone sat down one after another, and the subordinates in charge of delivering the food were all waiting at the door for orders, and everyone's personal maids stood respectfully behind each of them, serving some small things.
Qi Nian quietly raised his eyes and swept over everyone, and his heart was already clear.
Zhou Shi, who sat on the right side of the main seat with a different complexion, could not mention it first, Qi Ming, who was sitting next to her, and the second young master of the Qi family secretly looked at him and turned a blind eye. The third sitting on the right is the third young master Qi Nan born to the fourth aunt Wang, but he is still a nine-year-old child, and his face is childish, innocent and cute, which makes people feel pity. But after watching it for a long time, it can't help but make people see the clues, they are all nine-year-old children, but it seems that they are not good to speak, the nursing mother Wang Gu and the mother Wang who sat next to him fed him together and coaxed him, so that he stopped and did not make a fuss, it turned out that this was a mentally incomplete child. And the first seat on the left should have been the position of Qi Xuan, the eldest son of Qi Fu's eldest son, Qi Xuan, because he was older and was sent by Qi Junliang to do business in other places, and he could only come back during the New Year's Festival, but he couldn't see it all year round. Therefore, Qi Shu occupied the first place on the left, which is also the reason why Qi Nian sat upright in this seat and ignored Zhou's horizontal eyebrows.
The second seat on the left next to her is vacant, which can also be seen that the Zhou family is rampant in the Qi Mansion, and her son has to leave a seat for him when he does not return all the year round, as if to show the whole family, although they are all children of the master, but after all, there is a world of difference between the concubine and the concubine. Sitting on the third left is Qi Hui, the fifth lady from the third aunt Lin, who is only two years older than Qi Nan, and is a timid little girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Her mother, Lin, sat next to her, looking as if she loved her so much that she put her on the top of her heart. She has been sitting quietly, occasionally communicating with the Lin family is a gentle gesture, and she is naturally speechless.
The appearance of the Lin family and Qi Hui is very similar, and they are also a delicate and delicate appearance, although the eyebrows are slightly light, but the skin is as white as snow, which has the charm of a woman in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River. And the Wang family is much more beautiful, and compared to the youngest age, he likes to dress up more, and at a glance it is as glamorous as a peach and plum, which is very different from the appearance of the Lin family.
Qi Nian hid the sneer in his eyes by bowing his head and picking up vegetables. Is it that my father's love for his mother is so deep and unforgettable, isn't there still a group of wives and concubines at home?
"Daddy, you're back!" Suddenly, a crisp and tactful voice like a yellow warbler in the forest came from behind her, but Qi Nian only felt that her back was stiff and numb, and a cold air spread from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and this strange feeling made her want to tremble involuntarily.
It's her. Qi Shu.
Qi Junliang's concerned gaze finally shifted from her face to the person behind her, and even brought a little doting smile. Zhou's face at this time was also much more relaxed, her expression was as warm as Qi Junliang's, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of meanness, which made her already outstanding appearance even more gorgeous, and actually suppressed Wang's beauty.
Yes, the father is gentle and handsome, and the mother is beautiful and dignified, so she can naturally give birth to such an amorous, gentle, and beautiful daughter!
"Qi Nian, you have been oppressed by thousands of riders and thousands of people because you deserve it, who made you dare to think about things that you shouldn't get? The pain you suffered from losing your son is also because you are stupid, and your child who died before you was born is probably scolding you for being useless! And now you have become a beggar wife, as humble as an ant and trampled and humiliated, there is no possibility of seeing him in this life, and I, Qi Shu, am sitting on your position as Miss Xiangguo, marrying your favorite four princes as concubines for you, and he will have endless glory and wealth to enjoy! My stable life is really thanks to you, my good sister!"
Holding a silk handkerchief in his hand slightly, Qi Nian gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and his already turbulent eyes suddenly regained clarity.
Qi Shu approached but found that the seat she had sat in the past had been occupied by someone else, and she was about to lose her temper as a big lady, but she saw her mother winking at her, and seeing that Qi's father seemed to look different from usual, so she suppressed the unhappiness on her face, and only laughed and threw herself into Qi Junliang's arms, and her crisp voice was as graceful as a warbler singing: "Daddy has not been home for nearly a month, and my brother and I miss you very much! ”
Her words made the faces of the whole table change color. Qi Junliang also loved this caring and sensible eldest daughter very much, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but smile and glance at Zhou, but his eyes retreated a little cold, a little more gentle. Zhou naturally cast an appreciative look at her with satisfaction, her daughter was so well-behaved, she felt very useful. The third aunt and the fourth aunt couldn't help but freeze the smiles on their faces, Lin lowered his head forbearingly, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the soup on his lips for his daughter, but Wang sneered and put down the chopsticks in his hand, although he was not angry in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.
Qi Shu said this, as if only their mother and son were the master's relatives, and the other two aunts were just fine, and they even ignored Qi Nan and Qi Hui's faces.
Qi Nian coldly saw all the subtle changes in this family, and his heart suddenly felt like a mirror. Although Lin is gentle and cowardly, he is a person with ideas, and he is also the most moody. The Wang family is spicy and unforgiving, but it is not easy to live under the mean and ruthless Zhou all the year round, so I have endured a lot, but I believe that as long as she gains power, she will immediately step on the Zhou family to let out this vicious anger accumulated over the years.
Although Qi Nian was ignorant and ignorant in her previous life, these two aunts also helped her a lot openly and secretly, allowing her to avoid Zhou's plots and false accusations several times. For the time being, whether it is because of their kindness or simply to block the Zhou family, but if there is kindness, it will be repaid, which is also something that Qi Nian is determined to.
"Shu'er, why didn't you come to greet me today, and you came to eat so late. Qi Junliang looked at his daughter's delicate face, and couldn't help but smile: "Come and see your sister, she has a slightly calmer temperament, and you will be together every day in the future, so that she can polish your naughty temperament." ”
Qi Shu seemed to have just seen Qi Nian, turned her face and smiled: "It turns out that this is Nian'er, my father has told us many times, you can be regarded as going home!"
The girl's bright and dazzling smile is amazing, and her big eyes are full of beauty, although it is only a cardamom year, but such a jade smile is as bright as a flower, where is the age imprisoned.
In her previous life, the four princesses who moved the capital with their amazing beauty are indeed worthy of their reputation.
Qi Nian is the same age as Qi Shu, and he is only two months younger than her. Once upon a time, her dazzling and intimate smile suddenly captured her timid and cowardly heart, and she suddenly had a good impression of Qi Shu and treated Qi Shu as her own sister. Later, the Zhou family abused her in every way, and she never had a grudge against this beautiful eldest sister.
Except later.
Qi Nian raised his head slightly, and smiled as if he was a little shy: "Sister." ”
"Alright, let's sit down and eat first. Zhou raised his chin, raised his eyebrows and said, "After eating, you sisters will have a good chat, and it will take a long time in the future." ”
