Chapter 159: Slap in the face

"Cousin, I'm here to discuss something with you on my aunt's orders!"

Chu Pei walked to the door of the study, didn't look at the little guy who tried to stop her, and shouted. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qi Jinzhi frowned, what was going on. Okay, what is Chupe doing here?

He didn't want to pay attention, he wanted to wait for the little guy outside the door to send it away.

However, what Qi Jinzhi didn't know was that in the past few days, although Qu's mother took care of the back house, because of Gu Jialuo's closed door, as well as the Chu family and the Chu family's sisters' various crazy sense of existence in the Qi family, some of the Qi family's subordinates also began to think carefully in their hearts.

Especially Chu Pei, who is still very close to the eldest grandmother, and some people with huge brains begin to make up for it: does the eldest grandmother feel that she is not physically fit and cannot serve the uncle for a while, so she wants to take a concubine for the uncle?

Those who made up their brains began to use their own minds to speculate on Gu Jialuo's thoughts, and analyze the best candidates for concubines:

Well, there are four big maids in front of the eldest grandmother, but the eldest grandmother has long said that her maid will not be a concubine or concubine for the uncle, so Ziwei and a few others can be ruled out;

Hiring from outside? It shouldn't be possible, the eldest grandmother is a cautious person, and she will never get someone from unknown origin and difficult to control in her yard;

After several exclusions, the Chu sisters appeared in the sight of some people.

Sister Chu Pei is an abandoned woman, and there are pros and cons to choosing her as her object. The good thing is that she married into the Qi family for the second time, which is considered a congenital deficiency, even if she is favored in the future, she will not dare to be too presumptuous in front of her grandmother.

After all, the uncle was born in a family and had a smooth career, but the first time he took a concubine, he got a second-hand goods, and it was very shameless to say it.

As for her younger sister Chu Yu, she looks good and is just the right age, but her temper is too bad and she is hostile to her grandmother.

However, this is also a pros and cons, a bad temper and exposed emotions, it is obvious that Chu Yu is a reckless and simple person, such a person, as long as the pulse is touched, it is easy to control.

…… The brain-making person compared the two sisters and found that they both had the opportunity to marry into the Qi family.

And although the Chu family doesn't care about the family, he is like a competent guest all day long, and never interferes in the affairs of the Qi family's inner courtyard.

But she stays with the housekeeper mother headed by Qu's mother every day, and she will more or less understand some things about the Qi family.

Chu did not 'interfere', but she 'asked', and released her own people without a trace, in the name of helping or studying, she kept shuttling in the back office.

The water drops wear stones, and the Chu family has been coming to the Qi family for half a month, and her presence and influence in the back office are gradually deepening.

At least, the little maid who was waiting outside the study knew about the existence of the Chu family and the Chu family sisters, and even guessed the purpose of their group.

At this time, facing Chu Pei, the little guy didn't stop people under the steps politely but firmly as usual.

"Cousin, cousin, are you still busy?"

A flash of smugness flashed in Chu Pei's eyes, obviously very satisfied with the jealousy in the eyes of the little girl. She walked slowly up the stairs to the door, bent her fingers and tapped lightly on the door.

Being forced to the door, Qi Jinzhi thought it was impossible to pretend not to hear it, rubbed his eyebrows, put away the things on the desk casually, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

"Cousin, this is the list of banquets for the full moon banquet drawn up by my aunt and Mother Qu after discussion."

Chu Pei didn't care about Qi Jinzhi's sinking face at all, took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve pocket, and said with a light smile: "It should have been handed over to my cousin-in-law." But the situation of my cousin, alas, so my cousin should bother more and take the time to look at this list. ”

Chu Pei said it lightly, but the deep meaning in his words was intriguing.

Drawing up a list of banquets should have been the work of the hostess. However, because of Gu Jialuo's 'incompetence', Qi Jinzhi, a big man, was forced not only to worry about serious things outside, but also to worry about these trivial things when he returned home.

Thinking about it further, Chu Peifen is implying that Gu Jialuo, the mistress of the Qi family, is not qualified. Due to her background and backing, Qi Jinzhi can't divorce her incompetent wife, but she can find a capable 'virtuous helper'.

A touch of boredom flashed in Qi Jinzhi's lowered eyes, but when he raised his head, he was not happy or angry, "I told Mother Qu not to disturb Ah Luo, you can bring the list and leave it to me to deal with." ”

Isn't it just to look at a list, in the past, these were all Ah Luo working hard, and now she has suffered a major crime and needs to recuperate, what is there to support him for the time being?

Chu Pei felt that Qi Jinzhi seemed to be displeased, but she was not in a hurry, she came to the desk in small steps and put the list in front of Qi Jinzhi.

His eyes quickly looked around, and Chu Pei tried his best to make himself act like a sister who cared about his brother, "Cousin, cousin-in-law regulates her body, and all her guts are pressed on you." Alas, I know you can do it, but you're not an iron man. Although I don't have any skills, after I came to the Qi family, my cousin and sister-in-law treated me so well, never disliked me and my past, I was very grateful, so I wanted to do my best. Cousin, do you see anything you need my help with? ”

As she spoke, she bent down to pick up a book that had fallen to the ground, brushed off the dust with a handkerchief, and gently placed it neatly on the bookcase.

Qi Jinzhi's brows moved, and he only said, "Ah Pei, you are a guest, how can there be a reason in the world to let guests work?" Besides, I have someone to take care of everything here, and there is no shortage of manpower. ”

Chu Pei smiled softly and softly, "Cousin, there is one more thing. I don't know whether to say it or not...... Alas, you see, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and you are the chief official of Wumeng, should you also prepare some gifts to give to your subordinates and the squires in the city? ”

Chu Pei has been silently observing for the past two days, and finally let her discover another dereliction of duty of Gu Jialuo as a hostess.

What Chu Pei has to do is to remind Qi Jinzhi of his negligence, show his virtue and ability, and by the way, contrast Gu Jialuo's uselessness.

Qi Jinzhi's face became more and more ugly, what is going on with this Chu Pei?

Why don't you forget to satirize Aro?

Qi Jinzhi and Gu Jialuo share weal and woe, husband and wife are deeply in love, and now they have children, it is the time when the love is strong, and it is by no means the 'will' and 'appearance of God' imagined by Chu Pei and others.

Even if Chu Pei didn't say that Gu Jialuo was not, as long as she showed a little abnormality, Qi Jinzhi would be extremely uncomfortable.

Putting down the list, Qi Jinzhi wanted to make his words clear. I didn't want to go outside, but there were two familiar voices from a man and a woman.

"Uncle, my subordinate Qi Dayong/slave Ziwei, I have something important to come back to."

Qi Jin was stunned, didn't Qi Dayong just leave, why did he come back so soon?

And isn't Ziwei serving in the main courtyard, how did she come to the outer study?

Could it be that Arrow is in trouble?

Qi Jinzhi couldn't help but palpitate, and hurriedly said, "Come in and talk." ”

Qi Dayong and Ziwei agreed in unison, and entered the study one after the other.

"Ziwei, what's wrong? Could it be Aro - "What's so uncomfortable?" Or the kids?

Qi Jinzhi's body subconsciously leaned forward, and the whole person almost fell on the desk.

Qi Dayong and Ziwei bowed respectfully, but seeing Ziwei bowing slightly, they replied: "So that the uncle knows that the slave maid is on the order of the grandmother, and she has come back and forth." ”

"What?" Qi Jinzhi shouted urgently.

"Grandma said that the August Festival is coming, according to the custom, our Qi family should prepare a festival for the officials, errand servants, rough servants and other public officials of the government, and the three elders and squires in Wumeng City must also send some gifts,"

Ziwei took out a thin booklet from her sleeve pocket and held it in front of her with both hands, "This is the gift list drawn up by the eldest grandmother." The names of public officials are listed in detail, and they are divided into upper, middle, and lower classes according to their official position, seniority, and daily performance, and each rank has its own etiquette. The three elders, the squire, the Wumeng subordinate officials, and the city defense soldiers also made specific lists......"

Ziwei said endlessly, and glanced at the surprised Chu Pei from the corner of her eye, secretly amused in her heart.

What kind of character is the eldest grandmother, she was just weak after giving birth a few days ago, which gave you a loophole. Hmph, just wait, you'll be 'surprised' in the future.

Qi Jinzhi was a 'surprise', he first asked uncertainly: "Ah Luo has prepared all the rituals of the August Festival?" ”

Isn't it, when he went out in the morning, Ah Luo still looked sick and delicate, how could he blink an eye, and Ah Luo returned to normal?!

Qi Jinzhi felt a little apprehension in his heart, but there was expectation in his eyes.

"If you go back to the uncle, the grandmother has already ordered someone to prepare the festival, and the purchase will be complete in about three or five days, and it will never delay the uncle's business."

The implication is that Gu Jialuo will definitely send the love of Lord Fuzun to the homes of every subordinate and the three old squires on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Really?" Qi Jinzhi was overjoyed, but soon remembered Gu Jialuo's body, and said worriedly: "Ah Luo is still in confinement, how can he work hard for these trivial matters?" ”

Ziwei smiled and relayed Gu Jialuo's words: "Don't worry, grandma, grandma said that she is 'nourishing the body', not 'nourishing the brain', and occasionally thinking about something can kill the boring time." In addition, there are old practices for these things such as giving gifts, and the grandmother only needs to add or subtract a little according to the actual situation, and she is not tired. ”

Qi Jinzhi asked Ziwei again and again, and made sure that Gu Jialuo's physical and mental condition was good, so he took the gift list with confidence.

After a quick glance of ten lines, Qi Jinzhi became more and more satisfied, and casually praised: "It's still Luo who is thorough, and everything is done safely." ”

The tone was full of satisfaction and appreciation for Gu Jialuo, and Chu Pei, who was standing aside, felt sour in his heart.

Ziwei deliberately glanced at her, and after seeing Chu Pei's stinky face as she wished, she only felt extremely comfortable.

In addition to being happy, Ziwei threw out another bomb, "Oh, by the way, the eldest grandmother also said that she had already ordered Xiao Shisan to bring people to appease the craftsman, and she must minimize the impact of this matter." ”

Qi Jinzhi was stunned, the craftsman's business? Ah Luo also discovered the hidden problem of this matter and solved it in advance?

A familiar feeling came to his heart, and Qi Jinzhi thought of a certain possibility, and the whole person was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

It is said that since Ah Luo became pregnant, the feeling of 'seamless cooperation' and 'tacit understanding' between their husband and wife has become weaker and weaker.

After the premature birth accident, Gu Jialuo hid himself even more, and said that he had given him advice and agreed on big things as in the past, and he couldn't even preside over the affairs of the inner house, and he still needed a big man to take charge.

This feeling of powerlessness once made Qi Jinzhi tired and distressed Gu Jialuo, and at the same time, he also prayed to God more than once to let Gu Jialuo return to normal.

God finally made a kind gesture and fulfilled his wish so quickly.

At this moment, Qi Jinzhi just wanted to run back to the main courtyard immediately, confirm it with his own eyes, and then discuss it with Gu Jialuo.

God knows, how many things he wants to discuss with these days.

"Okay, okay, it's great," Qi Jinzhi clapped his hands repeatedly, stood up, and strode out, "I just don't know how Ah Luo arranged it." Hehe, I'll go back and ask her. ”

“…… Cousin, cousin! ”

Chu Pei hesitated for a moment, but still stopped Qi Jinzhi, "The matter of the banquet guest list~~~"

Qi Jinzhi patted his forehead lightly and said with a smile: "Look at me, forget about it." What, Ah Pei, the list will be handed over to me for the time being, and after I discuss it with Ah Luo, I will directly order Mother Qu. You don't have to worry about that. ”

Arrow is back to normal, why does he need to worry about all this?

Qi Jinzhi's eyebrows and eyes were all smiling, and even his steps were much lighter, and the whole person almost floated out of the study.

The master is gone, and Chu Pei, a guest, is not cheeky to lie in the study, she unwillingly glanced at the compartment in the study, and walked out with Qi Jinzhi.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the study, Chu Pei's face darkened a little.

For no other reason, the little guy who put her into the study just now is being pressed to the ground by three or four men in strong suits to hit the board.

Qi Jinzhi glanced at it, didn't ask, and strode away.

"Woo, woo~~"

The little guy who was pressed on the ground, with a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth, struggled violently when he saw Qi Jinzhi and Chu Pei and others, staring at Chu Pei with two eyes, whining and screaming.

But Qi Jinzhi didn't speak, and the two men in charge of the cane didn't stop, and continued to wave the board again and again.

Slap, slap, slap~ The wooden board hit the flesh hard, making a dull sound, and the little guy whimpered and struggled, and the gaze that looked at Chu Pei had changed from pleading to hatred.

Chu Pei felt as if the board had fallen on her face, and it hurt all at once.

Biao Ziwei quietly touched her side and whispered, "Didn't scare Miss Biao, right?" We have a lot of rules in the Qi family, and the eldest grandmother has a good way of governing the family, but there are always so many stupid people who are not long-sighted, and they have thoughts that they shouldn't have with a little cleverness. broke the rules of the Qi family and went against the will of the grandmother, so naturally it should be severely punished. ”

Syllable!

Ziwei's words were like a resounding slap in the face, and Chu Pei's facial features were a little distorted.

Tearing the handkerchief hard, Chu Pei's eyes were blood-red, and he scolded secretly: "Okay, you Gu Jialuo, you dare to pretend to be stupid and lie to me, and now you are making a fool of me in front of your cousin." Wait, I'll give you a big gift! ”
