Chapter 060: Conspiracy
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Xu Ai is not a liar, but as she herself said, she is a fatherless and motherless daughter, Qi Lingxian doesn't want her nephew to have anything to do with her. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I won't agree to any 'family affairs'.
What are you kidding, although the Qi family is not the Qianguo Mansion anymore, Qi Lingyi is still the prefect of Suzhou with a good career, and the Hu family is also the second lady of the Guogong Mansion.
As the son of the two, Qi Ling first married the daughter of the Hou Mansion, why did he have to succumb to an orphan girl who had nothing.
It's not that the Qi family is snobbish, Qi Yanzhi is the eldest son of the second room of the West Mansion, and his wife will be the housekeeper in the future, not just anyone.
The four words are not just words. The marriage of a man and a woman is by no means a matter of two people, but a major event of two families.
Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, it is impossible for Qi Lingxian to let Qi Yanzhi marry Xu Ai.
Not to mention that Qi Lingyi and the Hu family already have a candidate for a daughter-in-law, and the couple ordered Qi Yanzhi to enter Beijing, firstly, to send things to Qi Lingxian, and secondly, to see each other's relatives.
Now that the serious fiancΓ©e hasn't seen it yet, Qi Yanzhi was hooked by a down-and-out lady who came out of nowhere, and it's no wonder that Qi Ling is not angry.
Qi Yanzhi was like a silly boy who had just fallen in love, and argued with his uncle with his neck: "Ai'er is a good girl, she will never lie to me." β
Qi Yanzhi was protected too well by his parents, although he did not reach the point of 'not eating minced meat', but he was also a little ignorant of the suffering of the world.
As for the small tricks that women are used to, the yin and selfishness in the inner house are even more ignorant.
The timing of Xu Ai's appearance was too good, Qi Yanzhi was so sick that she was dead and alive, and when she was the most vulnerable, she fell from the sky like a fairy, and a pill saved his life.
In addition, Xu Ai is weak and delicate, and she is very non-aggressive, which makes people feel pity at first glance.
In the pure heart of the young man, Xu Aimei has already turned into a peerless woman with a bleak background but a kind heart.
In this world, the goddess of heaven is probably like Xu Ai.
"Erlang and Miss Xu met in Pingshui, but she rescued each other with righteousness, which shows that she is a good girl with a kind heart,"
The county lord of Qinghe continued to sing with a red face, and said warmly: "But I don't know how many good girls in the world are, do they all have to marry home and be wives?" Erlang, you have always been an obedient and polite child, don't you know that marriage matters must be ordered by your parents and the words of matchmakers? β
You're a good boy, and you're going to marry a woman of unknown origin when you open your mouth with red mouth and white teeth.
This is not his own son, otherwise the county lord of Qinghe would have reached out and pinched the ears of the 'little rabbit cub', and scolded repeatedly: "Do you want to marry Xu Ai? What a big dog guts. I'll break your dog's leg first, and see what you do to marry her?! β
Qi Yanzhi was rarely 'anxious', and hurriedly said: "Uncle and aunt, rest assured, Ai'er's aunt is in charge and has given Ai'er to me." β
Xu Ai's parents died, and her aunt was the closest elder. Although the matter of marriage must be ordered by the parents, but the matter is urgent, without the parents, the aunt is the same.
Qi Lingxian was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he didn't care that Qi Yanzhi was a weak little scholar, so he had to stand up and kick him on the shoulder.
He scolded himself in his mouth: "You brainless little brute, who asked the people of the Xu family?" β
Qi Lingxian and the county lord of Qinghe kept repeating the 'parents' order, referring to Qi Lingyi and the Hu family who were far away in Suzhou, not Xu Ai's family.
To say that he is not afraid of being mean, even if Xu Ai's parents jump out of the cemetery and personally make the decision to give their daughter to Qi Yanzhi, the Qi family will not admit this family matter.
Not to mention Qi Lingyi and his wife, who want their son to become Jackie Chan, even Qi Lingxian, who is an uncle, will not agree to Qi Yanzhi's 'Hu Lai'.
Qi Lingxian, who practiced martial arts, remembered that his nephew was not stronger than his son, and he only used three or four points of strength when he got down, but he still kicked Qi Yan's foot backwards, and the whole person rolled to the side like a ball.
The county lord of Qinghe hurriedly stopped, "Master, what are you doing here?" Erlang has a simple heart, and it is normal to have something unexpected occasionally. Let's be a good student of the elders and teach him. β
The county lord of Qinghe grabbed her husband, came to Qi Yanzhi's side again, and personally helped the poor young man who was 'domestic violence' for the first time, and saw that his face was stained with some dust, so he hurriedly wiped it off with a handkerchief.
"Erlang, your uncle has a temper, he didn't hit you lightly or severely, did he hurt you?"
Qi Yanzhi has been well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, his parents love him, and he has never been beaten.
Occasionally, I was beaten by my father or husband because of my homework, but no one has ever been as 'savage' as Qi Lingxian, who directly kicked people with his feet and kicked them so hard.
Hiss~~ Qi Yanzhi secretly took a few breaths of cool air, and in the face of his aunt's loving and concerned inquiry, he still had to force it and shook his head, "Auntie, I, I'm fine!" β
Qi Ling kicked his nephew first, finally got angry, listened to his wife's words, got off the donkey, and said in a rough voice: "Okay, you just arrived home, I just got dizzy when you were in a hurry, and said some nonsense." You go take a shower, eat something, and rest for the night. I'll talk about the rest in two days! β
Qi Ling first decided to send the stupid nephew down first, and then ordered someone to check the details of Xu Ai.
If you want to expose Xu Ai's true face, you have to have evidence, right?
Jizhou is not too far from the capital, and Qi Lingxian has a capable guard in his hands, and he can do it in a few days on a fast horse.
The Qi family army collapsed because of the change of commander in the southwest camp, but it did not disappear completely, and Qi Lingxian quietly retained his carefully cultivated henchmen in the name of guards and tenants.
This time, for the sake of his nephew, Qi Lingxian did his best, and directly transferred more than a dozen people to Jizhou and Qingzhou (Xu Ai's hometown) in batches to investigate.
A few days later, the two parties came back one after another and reported the information of the investigation to Qi Lingxian in detail.
Qi Lingxian frowned, Xu Ai and her aunt's household registration information were accurate, and Xu Ai's life experience and experience were exactly the same as what she said.
I don't know why, Qi Lingxian always felt that something was wrong.
"It's so accurate, it's flawless!" Qi Lingxian muttered to himself, as a veteran who galloped on the battlefield, his intuition was very accurate.
When he first met Xu Ai, he felt that something was wrong.
But after thinking about it, I felt suspicious again.
If he is still the Duke of Qianguo, Xu Ai or the instigator behind her will try his best to climb Qi Yanzhi, but it is still forgivable.
But now there are only two rooms left in the West Mansion of the Qi family, which is still beautiful, and the whole family is basically in decline, and it is not worth such calculations at all.
"Something is wrong, something is very wrong."
Qi Ling touched his chin first, thinking about it, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
"Father, there is indeed something wrong with this Xu clan,"
Qi Jinzhi flexed his fingers and flicked the survey results, and said, "Xu's information is too complete, so complete that it is not like an ordinary person. β
From birth to the death of his parents, there are traces of big and small things, which is so abnormal, as if someone deliberately prepared it, and then waited for the Qi family to investigate.
Qi Lingxian heard the deep meaning of Qi Jin's words, "You mean, these are all fakes?" β
Qi Jinzhi shook his head, "I'm not sure, it may be true or false, but one thing is certain, this Xu family is close to Erlang, there must be some plan, and the plan is not small." β
An ordinary small family girl, if it is not specially arranged, how can there be so many 'stories'.
Sometimes, when there is more evidence and more perfection, it becomes more unreal!
Qi Lingxian's pupils shrank, he looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "You mean, someone is worried about our Qi family-"
The Qi family has led the southwest camp for decades, in addition to accumulating a lot of wealth and connections, as well as hundreds of 'Zhuang Ding' hidden in the grange, there are also hole cards related to the life and death of the Qi family.
This is the consensus of people of insight, even the emperor suspects that Qi Ziru has left a back hand for his children and grandchildren.
Qi Jinzhi nodded heavily and sighed: "Father, I have to guard against it." β
Regardless of whether the Xu family came for the Qi family or not, they must also be vigilant.
Qi Lingxian frowned, and walked around the study with his hands behind his back.
After a while, when Qi Jinzhi was a little dizzy, Qi Lingxian paused abruptly and turned to look at Qi Jinzhi, "You're right, we must be cautious." β
Qi Ling walked to the back of the bookcase first, took out a piece of rice paper, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to write a letter to Qi Lingyi.
Seeing this, Qi Jinzhi hurriedly picked up the small kettle for watering the flowers, came to the desk, added some water to the inkstone, and then took an ink ingot and polished the ink for his father in person.
β¦β¦
"Miss, I've inquired, the Qi family's east mansion has moved to the mansion of the east of the imperial gift."
The little maid gathered beside Xu Ai and whispered: "Originally, there was a family from Luoyang, but now it has also been sent out by the main Qinghe County, and only the big house in Xifu is left here." β
There were no outsiders around, Xu Ai's face was no longer pitiful, but there was a coldness, she lowered her voice and asked, "Uncle Qi hasn't had an errand yet, right?" It's all over the New Year, so the Qi family has no arrangements? β
Que'er hurriedly replied: "The maid has inquired, and I heard the rough envoy of the Agarwood Courtyard say that it seems that the eldest grandmother Gu asked her uncle for help and found an errand for Uncle Qi." The Ministry of Officials has already issued a letter of appointment and will leave for their posts next month. β
Xu Ai's eyes flickered, and he casually asked, pretending not to care, "Oh? What errand? Uncle Qi is a military general, why don't you go to the head guard on an errand? β
Que'er shook her head, "No, I heard what the county is." The mother-in-law of the Qi family said that Uncle Qi once won the lift, and he was a serious scholar, and it was also made to go to a remote place to be a parent official. β
Xu Ai frowned, and said in his heart: Could it be that the Qi family is really not good, the eldest son of a dignified house, a serious heir, actually abandoned the 'ancestral industry', but what did he do to know the county?
Que'er seemed to think of something again, looked at Xu Ai worriedly, and stopped talking: "Miss, there is one more thing, the maid, the maid heard that the eldest master of the Qi family ordered his confidants to go to Qingzhou and Jizhou, Miss, will they find out something?"
Xu Ai waved his hand, "Don't worry, we are doing the right thing, and we are not afraid that they will investigate." β
To be honest, she is still waiting for the Qi family to make a move, only when they 'move', can she have the opportunity to understand the 'details' of the Qi family. (To be continued.) )
