Chapter 149: Chu Pei (1)

"Auntie, Ah Luo was born prematurely when she was pregnant with twins, and it has nothing to do with anything else!"

Qi Jinyi stepped in and said in a deep voice, "Speaking of which, I have no way to govern, and there are villains in Wumeng City, which is a disaster in the city for a while, and almost causes chaos. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 I have already written a plea to the political envoy of Meng Bu, and the angels of the court have already known about it. ”

Qi Jinzhi's tone was light, completely lost the enthusiasm and respect he had when he greeted the Chu clan just now.

There is no way that the Chu clan has gone too far and lost the physique of the elders, and Qi Jinzhi can't be blamed for his rudeness.

Chu Shi frowned, she heard the deep meaning of Qi Jinzhi's words: no matter what the truth about Gu Jialuo's premature birth was, they could only believe Qi Jinzhi's statement, otherwise they would be holding on to Qi Jinzhi's mistake. This is by no means the outcome Mahanze wants.

Ma Hanze wants to infiltrate the Qi family, Qi Jinzhi's backyard is the best way, according to Ma Hanze and Chu's original idea, is to try to find out Gu Jialuo's 'wrong', and then give Qi Jinzhi Zhang Luo a concubine or a second room on the grounds that she can't serve her husband after giving birth.

And the sisters of the Chu family are the best candidates, especially Chu Pei, who was so miserable by Gu Jialuo, even if it was to compensate, Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo could not shirk too much.

But the Chu family came here for half a day, and unexpectedly found that Qi Jinzhi was actually defending Gu Jialuo like this, obviously Gu Jialuo himself accidentally caused premature birth, but what came out of Qi Jinzhi's mouth turned into his poor protection and implicated his wife and children.

This, how does this make the Chu clan proceed.

Secretly sighing in his heart, Chu Shi beat his spirit, and pretended to be surprised and said, "There are still such arrogant people? Boyan, it's really hard for you, you ...... at a young age Alas, it's not your aunt who said you, you are too strong, obviously your uncle is in Shuixi, and his troops are strong, what is unstable on your side, you can tell your uncle, will your uncle still sit back and watch outsiders bully you? ”

The words were full of goodwill, and he no longer stared at Gu Jialuo, Qi Jinzhi listened more comfortably.

He hooked the corners of his lips and arched his hand: "I know that my uncle and aunt love me, but I am a parent of a house, and I still want to try my best to solve the affairs of the people by myself." Of course, if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I will definitely ask my uncle and aunt for help, and I hope that my uncle and aunt will not dislike me! ”

"No, no. By the way, Gu's complexion doesn't look very good, who is taking care of the inner courtyard now? ”

Seeing that Qi Jinzhi no longer had a straight face, Chu Shi knew that the section had passed, so he hurriedly turned back to the topic.

Qi Jin's eyes flashed, "So that my aunt knows that there has long been a practice in the affairs of the back office, and now Ah Luo can't be a director, so it will be taken care of by my nurse Mother Qu for the time being." ”

As he spoke, Qi Jinzhi gave Qu's mother a look.

Mother Qu hurriedly said: "The county lord sent the old slave to Wumeng that day, just to let the old slave serve the uncle and grandmother well, and now he finally has the opportunity to serve." However, the old slave can take care of the trivial matters in the backyard clearly, and entertain distinguished guests or something, and the old slave is not qualified enough, so he will bother your uncle and wife to come to the town. ”

Mother Qu's meaning is also clear, the 'trivial matters' in the inner courtyard, such as taking care of Gu Jialuo, managing the maid's mother-in-law, taking care of the account room, etc., are all cooked by Mother Qu.

And the 'big things' such as washing the third and greeting the guests at the full moon bothered the noble lady of the Chu family to come forward in person.

It sounds like Chu's work is more important, but in fact, she was invited by Qi Jinzhi to be a faΓ§ade for hospitality.

As Mother Qu said, no matter how capable she is, she is just a slave, and it is absolutely inappropriate for her to come forward to entertain distinguished guests.

Chu's family, one is the uncle who is high enough, Qi Jinzhi's aunt, a proper elder; The second is that the status is noble enough, the wife of the general of the dignified Shuixi battalion, in terms of grade, in the entire southwest, only the wife of the political envoy is comparable to her.

She appeared at the washing and full moon banquet of the twin sisters of the Qi family, which can show the close relationship between the Ma family and the Qi family, and can also show the importance of the children and guests.

But the role of the Chu family only stops there, and if they want to take the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of the Qi family's back house, they can't.

Chu's hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly, but there was still a gentle smile on his face, "Don't worry, since I have agreed to Bo Yan's invitation, I will do my best to help." Ming'er is the third wash, the invitations, banquets and so on are all ready? By the way, who have you invited? ”

Mother Qu was about to answer, but Qi Jinzhi was impatient to listen to these trivial matters, and said directly to the Chu family: "Please ask my aunt for the hospitality, there is still something to do in the front office, and I will go over." ”

Chu Shi waved his hand again and again, "It's important to get down to business, you should go quickly." ”

Qi Jinzhi owed, nodded at Chu Pei, Chu Yu and other cousins, and left the hall.

Mother Qu took out a thin booklet from her sleeve pocket and seriously discussed with the Chu family about washing the three banquets tomorrow.

Chu Pei sat quietly on the official hat chair below, took a string of Buddhist beads from his slender wrist, and twisted it slowly.

Chu Yu couldn't sit still, so he jumped off the chair without listening to a few words, and ran around in a hurry.

When passing by a small courtyard, Chu Yu asked the maid next to him curiously: "Huh?" Is this a guest house? But what are the guests? ”

The attendant of the Qi family hurriedly replied: "So that Miss Chu Er knows that the angels in the capital are temporarily living in this small courtyard, and there are also guards sent by Master Miaozhen. ”

"Angels?" Hey, isn't it just a eunuch, why are you so insensitive?

"Master Miao Zhen also sent guards? Could it be that the rumors in Jingzhong are true? Does the master really value that woman? ”

When he said 'that woman', Chu Yu's tone could not hide his disgust.

The maid of the Qi family heard her so polite, her lowered brows and frowned, but soon pretended not to hear it, and replied with a glance: "Master Miaozhen and my grandmother fell in love, and the grandmother has been in the southwest for almost three years, and every year the master will send someone to send things to the grandmother, what fabrics, what medicinal materials, and some gadgets, all of which are the top grades of tribute from all over the country back then." This time, our grandmother was pregnant with a child, and the master carefully selected a medical woman, a stable woman and a nursing mother, and sent them from thousands of miles away. And-"

Hmph, my grandmother is the treasure of Master Miaozhen. And Master Miaozhen is a top nobleman valued by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so let's say that you don't know where you come from, even Mrs. Chu, my grandmother will not take it seriously!

"Stop, stop, I'll just ask casually, where do you get so much nonsense?"

Chu Yu couldn't see that Gu Jialuo was doing well, and when she heard this, she was only angry, she reprimanded the maid unceremoniously, and she didn't have the heart to wander around, so she rushed directly to the front hall.

The little girl pursed her lips, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes: Hey, you're still scared, right?!

As soon as Chu Yu and the others left, a few sturdy men came in from outside and walked quickly into the small courtyard.

"How? What the hell is going on out there? ”

The chamberlain was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and when he saw these people coming in, he rushed forward quickly and asked quickly.

"Qi Jinzhi seems to be really angry, in just one day's effort, he actually mobilized four or five hundred villagers to enter the city, and all the streets of Wumeng Mansion City were blocked, and those villagers were searching inch by inch."

Among the few people, the first one was a black and thin man with an unattractive appearance, he wiped his sweat, and said in a deep voice: "I really didn't expect that this Qi Jinzhi is not very old, and he looks like a white and clean Sven, and he is so ruthless when he moves." Several people who made trouble yesterday were all arrested by him, and now they are all missing, and they don't know whether they live or die! ”

The waiter's white fat face was shocked, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Then, then he won't be angry with our family, right?" ”

If he hadn't gone out of the city to investigate the case yesterday, Qi Jinzhi, Xiao Erjiu and others would not have followed him out of the city, and there would have been no chaos in the city, and Qi Jinzhi's wife would not have given birth prematurely......

Oh my God, and Master Miaozhen, woo, the villain in the heart of the servant has already hidden his face and cried, as if he has seen his miserable future.

In fact, this time I came to the southwest, the sage had already had a belly case, and the so-called 'thorough investigation of the Qi Gu clan' was just a formality, and what we really wanted to investigate was the movements of the southwest departments, and whether anyone was secretly colluding with the forces in Beijing.

Whether Qi Jinzhi and his wife planted warbler millet seeds without permission, the sage really didn't care, after all, Master Miaozhen guaranteed his life. If the saint delves into it, wouldn't it be clear that he doesn't believe in Master Miaozhen, and even wants to force her to death?!

Not to mention how deep the relationship between the saint and Master Miaozhen is, just for the mysterious power in Miaozhen's hands, it is not good for the saint to turn his face with Miaozhen for the sake of just one Qi Gu clan.

The reason why the chamberlain acted like that in Umon was just carrying private goods.

First, when he went out of Beijing, someone secretly bought him, making it a little difficult for him to make the Qi family and his wife a little difficult;

The second is the communiquΓ©'s personal vendetta, who made Miaozhen too arrogant, and even the people under his hands followed the arrogance, and there were many alliances with the palace attendants and palace maids;

Sanlai, I also want to put the score of the angel on the table, so as to get some benefits from Qi Jin's hands.

It's okay now, because of his selfishness, Gu Yiren was indirectly born prematurely, and it seems that the situation is not very good...... The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, he really couldn't imagine what kind of outcome he would face after returning to Beijing.

"Father-in-law, it's not a bad thing to think about it."

Seeing the panicked appearance of the waiter, the black thin man secretly despised in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest expression, and he pretended to throw out such a sentence in a deep voice.

"What? Isn't that a bad thing? So what's the bad thing? "Could it be that watching him be cleaned up by Miao Zhen and his life is not guaranteed, that is a bad thing?!

Like a cat whose tail has been trampled on, the chamberlain jumped and shouted with a sharp voice.

The black thin man said unhurriedly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, haven't you forgotten the purpose of our trip to Beijing this time?" ”

The waiters were stunned, didn't they just go through the motions when they went out of Beijing this time? The real investigation is Jinyiwei, and those people Shenlong can't see the head and tail, and even he has never seen the true faces of those people.

The thin black man seemed to hear the inner servant's heart, and he didn't care about despising the stupidity of the inner servant, and continued: "Jinyiwei is Jinyiwei, we are us." Father-in-law, if the Jinyi Wei can't investigate the matter, but let us find a clue, you said that after returning to Beijing-"

The black hand man raised his eyebrows, suggestively.

When the chamberlain heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. On Miaozhen's side, he was condemned, but if he made a meritorious service as this man said, the saint might be able to protect one or two of his merits.

In this way, his life will be saved.

The waiter's flustered gaze finally settled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Do you have eyebrows?" ”

The thin black man leaned into the inner waiter's ear and whispered a few words.

"What?" The waiter's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted in disbelief: "Actually, it has something to do with him?" ”

The little Wumeng actually had a relationship with the prince in the capital, and the chamberlain only felt a chill in his neck, and the whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

"Straight mother, this time it's really going to be a big deal!"

The chamberlain closed his eyes forcefully, wailing weakly in his heart. What's even more terrifying is that his kick seems to have guessed the edge of the storm, and it is impossible to get out.

……

After discussing the arrangements for tomorrow's washing, Chu and Qu's mother took their daughter and niece to the cross-courtyard on the east side of the main courtyard, where Gu Jialuo specially ordered someone to clean up and live for them.

Even a person like Chu Yu, who was prejudiced against Gu Jialuo, could only say sourly when he saw this arrangement: "It's okay!" ”

Chu Shi glanced around, and said secretly in his heart: This Gu family really can't be underestimated. The body is dilapidated like that, and he can't even get out of the door, but he can still firmly grasp the entire inner courtyard in his hands, which is obviously a means.

"Apei, you're tired after all these journeys. Let's go back to the room and rest early, we still have to help entertain the guests tomorrow. ”

The Chu clan made up his mind to give Chu Pei to Qi Jinzhi, so naturally he would not let go of any opportunity. Tomorrow's wash will be Chu Pei's first appearance in the Qi family.

Chu Pei shook his head and said, "Auntie, Ming'er is the third banquet of the two young ladies of the Qi family, and I am a relative from outside and a divorced woman, so it is really inconvenient to attend." Iβ€”I'd better stay in the room. ”

How obvious Qi Jinzhi's performance is today, Chu Pei bets that if he goes out with his aunt to entertain guests tomorrow, Qi Jinzhi will dare to 'invite her back' to the room to rest in front of all the guests!

Chu Pei didn't want to be swept away from the house so embarrassed.

If you want to achieve your goal, there is not only such a way to go, and my aunt's method, in her opinion, is too simple, rough and stupid!

Chu frowned, and was about to reprimand two sentences.

Chu Pei preemptively said: "Auntie, I have already made my cousin and sister-in-law unhappy by coming uninvited, if Ming'er attends rashly, it will definitely cause them to be disgusted." The coming day is long, and some things are in a hurry! ”

Chu Shi looked at Chu Pei's confident eyes, stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this niece is the most intelligent, and in the past two years, because of her unhappy marriage, she has become a little low-key, so that others have forgotten her temperament.

Yes, if 'Gu Jialuo' hadn't relied on his power to play behind his back, Chu Pei might not have lost.

This time, the two fought again, and it was really hard to make up their minds who would win or lose......
