Chapter 081: The Way of the Other

The Qi family's flower-viewing banquet ended successfully, exceeding the set goals of the Qi family, and the whole family was very satisfied. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the excitement, I felt tired.

From the county lord of Qinghe, Gu Jialuo to the rough maid below, everyone was tired and turned on their backs.

The next day, the Qi family was rarely quiet, and although the slaves and maids on duty in the inner and outer courtyards were still on duty on time, their spirits were much worse.

In this way, the management of the inner courtyard of the Qi family is a little lax.

Qi Yanzhi endured it for more than half a month, and finally seized this opportunity, taking advantage of his uncle's hangover and not waking up, he couldn't take care of it for a while, he quietly slipped out of his courtyard and touched all the way into the guest room in the second door.

"Love, love, yesterday's flower viewing banquet, can the eldest aunt invite you to attend?"

When Qi Yanyi saw Xu Ai, he hurriedly greeted him, walked closer, suddenly remembered something, and suddenly stopped his body, his eyes didn't dare to look directly at Xu Ai's pretty face, and his ears were already red.

Qi Lingyi and Hu Shi are very strict with Qi Yanzhi, and when he grows so big, he has never gotten along with Miss Boudoir alone.

Not to mention, this young lady is still the person he likes, Qi Yanzhi's courage to sneak into the inner courtyard is already the most ridiculous thing he has ever done in his life, at this moment, facing Xu Ai, he is already so ashamed that he doesn't know how to put his hands and feet, where can he say any sweet words?

Xu Ai smiled gently, as if he didn't see Qi Yanzhi's confusion, and suddenly sighed and said, "The county lord is a loving elder, and he takes great care of me, and yesterday he specially ordered the maid to invite me to the banquet." ”

She raised her head, her eyes watery with gratitude, "Speaking of which, I really want to thank the second master." If it weren't for you, I—I wouldn't have had the opportunity to see such a grand event. ”

The blush on Qi Yanzhi's face faded a little, he was just simple, not stupid, Xu Ai's words were literally thanks, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.

Xu Ai hooked the corners of her lips with a little bitterness, "Until yesterday, I didn't know why Lord Qi and the county lord didn't agree to our affairs." Second master, you and I are fundamentally people from two worlds. ”

The purpose of the county lord of Qinghe to let her participate in the flower appreciation banquet, Xu Ai has completely understood, it is nothing more than to let her retreat.

The four words are definitely not just a shallow view of the door.

Knowledge, self-cultivation, and attitude towards the world...... People who are not of the same class, barely getting together, can't really integrate.

If you change to the daughter of an ordinary small household and see the wealth and splendor, you will definitely feel inferior, and then give up on yourself, and you don't need to take the initiative at all, so you will give up first.

It was Xu Ai, who was obviously prepared in his heart, but he was still shocked by the extravagant scenes and rich pictures that he had never seen before.

Especially the words and expressions of those noble ladies, the kind of dustless momentum that is high above and under the eyes, makes Xu Ai feel ashamed of himself the most.

For a moment, Xu Ai wanted to retreat.

Because she sadly found that she was not compared to a noble lady like Grandma Gu, it was the maid who deliberately wore a dress similar to hers, judging by her words, deeds and behaviors, she was a few points better than her love.

Afterwards, Xu Ai inquired, what kind of parrot was it, it was actually just a second-class maid in front of the county lord, and there was a more regular and outstanding first-class maid above.

Xu Ai'er was gone, and the pride in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she couldn't even compare to a medium-sized maid.

Qi Yanzhi couldn't understand Xu Ai's mood, but after listening to her words, he couldn't help but ask eagerly, "What?" Someone wronged you yesterday? ”

What are the two worlds? Don't they all live in Daqi?

Xu Ai shook his head, "Second master, don't worry, no one has wronged me, I, I just don't think I'm worthy of the second master." Second master, since you have successfully arrived in the capital, I, I should also leave. ”

Xu Ai knew that the county lord would not have such a trick, but she didn't want to be beaten passively, and after a night of thinking, she decided to retreat.

Sure enough, before she finished her words, Qi Yanzhi was so anxious that his face turned red.

didn't care about being shy and forgetting the etiquette, he grabbed Xu Ai's hand: "Ai'er, what is unworthy, you saved me, I am happy with you, we are a good match made in heaven." I know, someone must have bullied you yesterday, Ai'er, don't be sad, don't give up easily, everything is still with me. ”

……

"You?"

Qi Jinzhi had a half-day meal with several sons of the Guogong Mansion yesterday, and he was so drunk that he didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

As soon as he got up, his head was still a little dizzy, and Qi Yanzhi ran over angrily.

Qi Jinzhi rubbed the corners of his forehead, resisted the urge to drag his stupid cousin over and beat him violently, and said coldly: "What do you have?" What can you do? Yes, our Qi family is 'bullying', and our Qi family is 'vulgar', so what? Hmph, let me ask you, which onion are you after leaving the Qi family? Without the power of the Qi family, what kind of lover and love will take the initiative to climb you? ”

After persuading these days, Qi Jinzhi is also annoyed, plus he has a terrible headache at this time, and under the depression, naturally there will be no good words.

"Brother, you, how can you say that about Ai'er?"

Qi Yanzhi's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him.

"What else can I say about her? Yesterday, her mother kindly invited her to the banquet, also with the intention of letting her show her face in front of people more, thinking that if she was really good, you would accept her if you wanted to,"

Qi Jinzhi picked up a bowl of decanting soup on the kang table, and drank several sips, "But what about her?" The female guests who came to the banquet, some of them were still discussing in private, saying that their mother had always been meticulous and safe, why did they bring such a maid who couldn't get on the table to entertain guests? ”

Qi Jinzhi squinted at Qi Yanzhi, "A person like her is not qualified to be a maid for our family, but you still want her to be the second grandmother?" Do you think that the Qi family is not down-and-out enough, and you still want the whole capital to laugh at us? ”

"I, I-", Qi Yanzhi was so sneered at for the first time, his face turned red, and he craned his neck and shouted: "I knew that Ai'er had been wronged, and she didn't go to the banquet yesterday, but to be humiliated-"

Qi Jinzhi glanced at him and cut off his words: "Wrong, no one humiliates her, and she is not an important person, who will deliberately trouble her?" "Do you have nothing to do as a lady who is well fed?

Qi Yanzhi was ashamed and angry, he was a nerd, spoiled at home, how could he ever quarrel with someone?

Pursed his lips, and after a while, Qi Yanzhi said dejectedly: "That's it, since you look down on Ai'er so much, I won't leave her here to hinder your 'expensive' eyes, and we will move out tomorrow." ”

Qi Jinzhi sneered, "Move out? Where to move to? Inn? Okay, even if it's an inn, do you have any money? I mean, the money you earn by your own ability? ”

Qi Yan's words were stopped. He grew so old that he never cared about money? Not to mention making money on your own.

After being silent for a long time, he shouted in shame: "There is always a way!" "It's a big deal that he borrowed it from his classmates and the world.

Qi Jinzhi rolled his eyes: "Okay, even if you have a way to get money, what is the relationship between you and Xu Ai living together?" Husband and wife? Hmph, no matchmaker?! ”

Qi Yanzhi was so angry that he shouted: "Who said that we have no matchmaker? We—we've hired a matchmaker, and our aunt to call the shots—"

Qi Jinzhi coldly threw out a sentence, "What about the marriage book?" ”

Getting married in this year, it's not like you just find a matchmaker who comes from nowhere to make peace, and then there is an 'elder' who speaks, and the marriage can be done.

It is also necessary to have a serious marriage certificate.

But the marriage book is not something that can be made by a casual person.

As if a balloon had been punctured by a needle, Qi Yanzhi had no strength at all, and he sat opposite Qi Jinzhi with his head bored, his face full of pain and entanglement.

Qi Jinzhi was not in a hurry, he took the sobering soup and drank it, tsk, it was really unpleasant!

After a full quarter of an hour, Qi Yanzhi raised his head and asked pitifully, "Brother, what should I do?" I—I really want to marry Ai'er! ”

Qi Jinzhi stretched out two fingers: "First, you must have the ability to show your hands, your sister-in-law's uncle is a friend of the mountain chief of Jinghua Academy, you can ask your sister-in-law to do a favor and recommend you to study in Jinghua Academy. ”

Silly brother, even if you elope these days, you need a drop of capital. 'Negotiating' with parents requires more capital.

Qi Yanzhi thought about it, seemed reasonable, and nodded.

Qi Jinzhi continued: "Second, Xu Ai should learn some rules, etiquette, and some principles of how to behave in the world. ”

Qi Yanzhi hesitated a little, "This is not necessary, our Qi family is not the Guogong Mansion." ”

Qi Jinzhi raised his eyebrows on one side, "But your father is still the prefect of Suzhou." Do you want others to treat Xu Ai as a maid in the house when they see her? ”

Qi Yanzhi met Qi Jinzhi's eyes, and the eyes of the two brothers collided in the air.

Qi Jinzhi didn't dodge or dodge, and said seriously: "As long as you do these two things, your father will definitely help you in front of your uncle!" ”

Qi Yanzhi couldn't think of a better way, so he had to nod: "Okay, I'll listen to my eldest brother." ”

……

Qi Yanzhi went to the best academy in the capital, while Xu Ai stayed in Wenchang Hutong, and the county lord of Qinghe invited the old lady of the Qi family to teach the rules.

This was not at all the same as the result Xu Ai expected, she couldn't help but be secretly anxious, but she couldn't find Qi Yanzhi anymore.

Jinghua Academy can be boarded, when Qi Jinzhi sent his stupid brother in, he had already agreed with the mountain chief and the master that if it was not the master of the Qi family, Qi Yanzhi would never be allowed to leave the academy for half a step, let alone contact 'outsiders'. Letters can be delivered, but they must also be sent through formal channels.

And all letters sent through normal channels must first be handed over to Qi Lingxian or the county lord for review.

Within a few days, the Qi family successfully isolated Qi Yanzhi and Xu Ai.

"It's long overdue,"

Gu Jialuo shook his head with a smile, and said in his heart: It can be regarded as dismantling this pair of ancestors, and the roots of the ears can be cleaned for two days. Qi Jinzhi can also leave Beijing with peace of mind.

Thinking of leaving Beijing, Gu Jialuo remembered something and called Ziwei: "Have you done everything?" ”

She can ignore the past grievances for the time being, but there are three people, and she doesn't want to let them go...... (To be continued.) )
