Chapter 161: Preparation
Qi Jinzhi wiped away his tears and shouted: "Qi Dayong! β
"The subordinates are here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Qi Dayong flashed into the room, his eyes swept over the small coffin, and his eyes were full of gloom.
"Are you all ready?"
Qi Jinzhi stood up and asked in a deep voice.
"So that the uncle knows that everything is ready, led by Qi Jingui himself, and the accompanying guards, ice cubes, and feng shui masters are all complete, just waiting for tomorrow's departure." Qi Dayong bowed back and said.
Qi Jinzhi nodded, and asked again, "What do you say to the outside world?" He wanted to escort his son's body back to Beijing, but he didn't want to attract the attention of others. In particular, Gu Jialuo must not be let know.
Today's Gu Jialuo seems to have returned to her former appearance, and it is not easy to do something under her nose.
This is also the reason why Qi Jinzhi is in a hurry to send his son away. Originally, he wanted to take his son back in person when he returned to Beijing after the full moon banquet and reported on his work. But now it seems that the plan must be advanced.
Fortunately, Master Miaozhen in the capital also agreed with him to conceal Gu Jialuo's decision, and secretly gave instructions to Xiao Shisan and others, otherwise, Qi Jinzhi would never have succeeded in hiding Gu Jialuo.
But even so, Qi Jinzhi didn't dare to take risks easily. At the moment, Gu Jialuo finally got up his spirits, he didn't want her to discover the truth at this critical moment and then suffer a bigger blow.
That's it, let's arrange for a safe person to quietly send Xiao Saburo away.
"Uncle and grandmother are happy, relatives and friends in Beijing will send congratulatory gifts thousands of miles away, uncle and grandmother are in the southwest, can not personally thank, so they prepared some southwest soil ceremony to give back to relatives and friends, for the sake of insurance, specially selected housekeeper Qi Jingui personally escorted."
Qi Dayong said slowly.
This is a rhetoric to the outside world, the festival of the August Festival has already been sent, and at this time, Qi Jinzhi rashly sent a large group of people to leave Wumeng, which will definitely attract the attention of others. This is an excuse that Qi Jingui and they finally came up with.
Qi Jinzhi said, "Very good, just follow this statement." By the way, you go and call Qi Jingui to me, and I will tell him a few more words. β
Qi Dayong agreed, and seeing that Qi Jinzhi had no other instructions, he bowed down and retreated.
After a while, Qi Jingui came to the study at a trot.
Qi Jinzhi repeatedly told him a few things, and then he was sent out.
Looking at the small coffin surrounded by ice cubes, Qi Jinzhi sighed and strode out of the study.
When he stepped out of the room, his eyes were slightly red, his face was sad, and his steps were not as calm and powerful as before.
"Sure enough~"
Chu Pei, who was hiding in the corner, looked at Qi Jinzhi's back with a blank eye, the corners of his lips curled up, and his eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance.
β¦β¦
"The craftsmen are back?"
Gu Jialuo saw Qi Jinzhi come in, and asked with a smile, "It's going well, right?" β
Qi Jinzhi stood in front of the shelf bed and looked at Gu Jialuo fixedly.
Gu Jialuo could look back indifferently at first, but after a long time, she was also a little embarrassed, and reached out and touched her face, "What's wrong?" Could it be that there's something wrong with my face? β
Qi Jinzhi suddenly sat down, slapped Gu Jialuo's little hand, and said in a low voice: "Ah Luo, it's good to have you!" "His Aro is finally back to normal!
Gu Jialuo smiled, in fact, she was still a little apprehensive in her heart. After looking in the mirror, she knew how haggard and embarrassed she was at the moment, but when she looked at Qi Jinzhi just now, she suddenly found that Qi Jinzhi didn't care about her appearance at all, but looked directly into her eyes and probed into her heart.
At that moment, Gu Jialuo felt that what Qi Jinzhi really cared about was not her appearance, but her Gu Jialuo.
At that moment, she finally put her mind at ease.
"Uncle, haven't I always been by your side?"
Gu Jialuo rubbed Qi Jinzhi's palm, and the warm and soft touch made her feel at ease.
"Yes, how can I, Qi Boyan, be able to have such a good wife as A Luo by my side, it's really a blessing!"
Qi Jinzhi sighed sincerely.
"Okay, uncle, don't put a high hat on me, tell me about the situation outside."
Gu Jialuo was so happy that his mouth was about to reach his ears, but he still had to make a modest appearance, stretched out his hand and pushed Qi Jinzhi, and urged repeatedly.
"Still ask me? Didn't you arrange all this? Hehe, it is worthy of my Ah Luo, who appeased all the craftsmen and their families so quickly, even those people who heard the wind probably couldn't stop praising Gu Yiyi's generosity and kindness at this moment. β
Qi Jinzhi smiled heartily, he leaned forward, almost touching Gu Jialuo's cheek, and deliberately whispered, "Ah Luo, can you talk to me well?" How the hell did you appease? Instead of being afraid of the government and avoiding it, they were full of gratitude?! β
In fact, he had already guessed it, but in order to make his wife happy, he still pretended not to understand anything, and asked Gu Jialuo to personally talk about his great achievements.
"It's nothing, it's very simple, I just asked people to prepare a gift for the officials of the government, and I also prepared a copy for the families of those craftsmen. It's not a precious thing, it's mainly a heart, an attitude......"
Gu Jialuo raised his chin and talked about his arrangements with a little smugness.
Qi Jinzhi nodded again and again when he heard this, and interjected from time to time, "Okay, good, Ah Luo is thoughtful." And whatβ"
The more Gu Jialuo spoke, the happier she became, her eyebrows and eyes were full of confidence and brilliance, and in the end, she seemed to remember something, and said a little embarrassedly: "Oh, by the way, there is another thing, I didn't discuss it with the uncle, so I took it upon myself to let people pass the word, saying that every craftsman in the salt field can go to Gu's shop to buy a pound of half-price well salt with a work card...... Uncle, you won't be angry, will you? β
"No, Ah Luo, your arrangement is very good, I am a hundred in agreement, how can you be angry?" Qi Jin's head shook like a rattle.
However, in order to adjust the atmosphere, Qi Jinzhi still pretended to be in pain and said: "Alas, I feel a little sorry for Ah Luo's money bag." It's a feast, and it's half price salt, so it costs a lot of silver to get a whole set, right? β
Gu Jialuo smiled mischievously and hooked his index finger at Qi Jinzhi.
Qi Jinzhi turned his head sideways and brought his ear to Gu Jialuo's mouth.
Gu Jialuo said softly: "Don't worry, I didn't spend a copper in the family." β
Qi Jinzhi looked up, full of surprise. Didn't the Qi family pay out of their own pockets? Well, which one is that?
Suddenly, a white and fat round face flashed in Qi Jinzhi's mind, and his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
Gu Jialuo smiled and nodded, "It seems that the uncle has already guessed." Haha, that's right, it's the silver funded by the angel Wu Gonggong. β
After that, Gu Jialuo hugged his stomach and laughed. I have to say that Xiao Twenty-nine is definitely a talent, especially in terms of extortion, his skills have reached the peak.
Thinking of Gonggong Wu's bitter face wrinkled into bun folds, and the aggrieved appearance of a stomach full of bitter water but unable to pour it out, Gu Jialuo felt happy.
Grandma's, after this dead eunuch came to Wumeng, he never forgot to play a majestic role in front of Qi Jinzhi. Gu Jialuo had long looked at him very unpleasantly.
Especially the accident of premature birth is also indirectly related to Gonggong Wu, and she doesn't want to see this dead eunuch.
Now that he can slaughter him ruthlessly, Gu Jialuo is really happy to think about it.
Qi Jinzhi tilted his head, pretending to be surprised, and asked, "Huh?" His original surname was Wu! Calling him 'angel' every day, I almost thought that his surname was heaven's name. β
"Poof~~Haha~~~"
Gu Jialuo leaned forward and backwards with laughter, but she was very happy and sad, and the wound that had almost recovered was faintly painful by her laughter. She hurriedly hugged her stomach and inhaled slightly.
Qi Jinzhi's sentence 'surname is the name of heaven' kept echoing in her ears, and she couldn't help laughing.
Qi Jinzhi hurriedly reached out to help Gu Jialuo rub his stomach, and asked helplessly: "Is it so ridiculous?" β
In fact, he didn't know how happy he was to see Gu Jialuo so radiant and happy.
The nerves that had been tense for half a month were completely relaxed, and as soon as he was in a good mood, he also had the heart to joke with Gu Jialuo.
Gu Jialuo laughed and said intermittently: "You, you respectfully call him 'angel' all day long, I, I still respect him more, no, I don't want to, you don't even know what his surname is." Haha~~ But the one surnamed Wu is still proud there, thinking that he is majestic and domineering enough, but he doesn't know, he doesn't know-" Ya Qi Jinzhi didn't take him seriously at all, and he didn't even bother to inquire about his surname.
Seeing that she was laughing and tears, Qi Jinzhi sighed loudly, patted her back gently, and said softly: "Okay, don't laugh, so as not to pull the wound." β
ββ¦β¦ No, don't laugh," Gu Jialuo laughed for a while, in fact, this matter was not so ridiculous, but she just wanted to laugh inexplicably.
As if to vent the frustration in his chest, Gu Jialuo laughed for a quarter of an hour before he could barely hold back, "By the way, I heard that you are going to send someone back to Beijing to send a return gift?" β
Qi Jin's eyes flashed, and he replied, "Yes." We are not in Beijing, but the correspondence between relatives cannot be broken. It just so happened that we had a bumper harvest in the golden autumn of Wumeng, so I ordered someone to prepare some special soil rituals for relatives and friends in Beijing to taste it. β
Gu Jialuo nodded, "It should be." By the way, I also made some needlework for my mother, mother, and master here, and let Qi Jingui bring it back tomorrow. β
Qi Jinzhi stopped Gu Jialuo's shoulders and said slowly: "Okay, we have received a lot of care from the master, and we should really do our part." β
Gu Jialuo put Miaozhen and her mother-in-law in the same position, and Qi Jinzhi didn't feel anything wrong. Their husband and wife were able to stay in the southwest smoothly, in addition to the support of the Gu and Qi families, Master Miaozhen definitely played a big role.
Such an elder who does not ask for anything in return, but cherishes Gu Jialuo wholeheartedly, Qi Jinzhi is unreasonable and disrespectful, and unconsciously, he also lists the master as the same status as the Song family.
"Fortunately, this time it's finally over."
Qi Jinzhi gently rubbed Gu Jialuo's round arm and said in a low voice: "I have already ordered someone to copy the two families of Zhan and Qu and interrogate them strictly. It's a pity that the heads of these two families don't know the identity of the person behind them, and they all convey the news through the He family. β
Gu Jialuo's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What about the He family?" β
Qi Jinzhi said without emotion: "If you die, you can't be tortured, and you will lose your breath directly." β
In fact, Qi Jinzhi drowned He alive little by little, over and over again. It wasn't about torture, and it didn't matter whether she confessed or not, Qi Jinzhi had only one thought - his son was suffocated to death in his womb, so the He family, who drugged Gu Jialuo, didn't want to live, even if he died, he would have to be suffocated and tortured before dying! If you die, you will be thrown into a mass grave with a broken mat and let the wild dogs eat the corpses!
When Gu Jialuo heard that his former 'neighbor' had died, he didn't have the slightest mood swing, and only said lightly: "It's good to die, so that she won't harm people again!" "I knew that He was this kind of person, she would rather be a person who didn't keep her promises, and would never help her escape from the Iron Threshold Nunnery.
"Okay, let's not talk about her, bad luck!"
Qi Jinzhi changed the topic, "I want to leave after the full moon banquet for the girls, it is estimated that it will take a few months to come and go, and the family will be all handed over to you." β
Gu Jialuo hurriedly sat up straight, and said firmly: "Don't worry, everything is with me, and the uncle just needs to go on the road with peace of mind." β
β¦β¦
Half a month later, the Wumeng Mansion held a grand full moon banquet, and judging its scale, it was even grander than the three banquets.
This time, not only the officials and their families from the southwest region came, but even Xiao Ruqi, the commander of the guard post who had just arrived in Annan, also led a group of thousands and hundreds of households.
The entire Yaqian Street suddenly became full of traffic, and the carriages of various regulations lined up in a long line, blocking the street tightly.
The back office is also full of fragrant clothes and sideburns, flowers, and everywhere is filled with wealth and joy.
The Chu family is dressed up to help entertain guests as the host, she is not low, and she is a three-grade order, so she is really not too familiar with ushering in and welcoming guests.
The Chu family was like a fish in water in the front hall, while warmly entertaining the guests, while proudly enjoying the envious eyes of the nobles - not anyone's full moon banquet can have such a scale, the scenery of the Qi family, as the elders of the young couple of the Qi family, the Chu family face is also very bright.
The only thing that made the Chu family dissatisfied was that before the official opening of the banquet, Gu Jialuo, who was supposed to be 'recuperating' in the back, actually walked out in a bright body, and instantly stole the attention of all the noblewomen.
Although Gu Jialuo's stay was very short, I don't know really, the Chu family actually had the illusion that 'Gu Jialuo is the real hostess, and she Chu is just a housekeeper mother who is responsible for hospitality'.
This feeling is very unpleasant, Gu Jialuo's kind of scenery that has attracted everyone's attention, Chu Shi is extremely eye-catching, she squeaks and grits her teeth, hoping that Gu Jialuo will immediately faint from physical exhaustion.
Chu Pei quietly came over and whispered comfortingly: "Auntie, don't worry, she won't be proud for too long." β
Chu Shi was overjoyed, "You finally found Gu's handle?" β
Chu Pei shook his head and nodded again, "It's not a trick, but it can definitely defeat her arrogance, so that she will never be able to raise her head from now on!" β
Chu Shi was satisfied, and asked in a low voice, "When will you start?" Isn't it better to poke it in public! She looked at the noble ladies shaking around with some eagerness, and the picture of Gu Jialuo's embarrassment in front of everyone already appeared in her mind.
Chu Pei hurriedly shook his head, "No, not yet, you have to wait for your cousin to leave before you can do it!" β
Please, her goal is to marry Qi Jinzhi, not just to defeat Gu Jialuo, and now to make the ugly affairs of the Qi family completely exposed......
