The scene became even more embarrassing, Miss Zhao Liu, they were originally not very interested in the origin of the five girls of the Qi family, after all, they were not familiar with each other, and Qi Minshu was often talking, and they would not think about the rumors outside.

But now one by one, climbing trees and climbing over walls, looking at this flowing and angry look, it doesn't look like a serious young master, and his expression and speech always show a vulgar taste, it is not a world at all, Miss Liu took the lead in opening her mouth, and it was difficult to hide the disdain in her eyes: "Who are these people, Minshu, isn't your fifth sister from Huizhou?" ”

"The third uncle is in Huizhou, and the fifth sister is naturally brought back from Huizhou." Qi Minshu's voice was a little stiff, she looked at the teenagers, and she had already determined their identities in her heart, but how could she say it, so she asked someone to invite them out of the house, "Fifth sister, there are guests at home today, these friends of yours should come to visit another day." ”

Qi Minlan is willing, she finally arranged people here, if she left, wouldn't it be a waste of her previous efforts, she saw the look of Miss Zhaohou Mansion, only one step away, just one step away, as long as she said that she was not A Ying, she would succeed.

"You know each other so well, don't you know what her real name is?" Qi Minlan suppressed her voice, the smile on her face was very casual, "Don't you know that her name was Qi Ying in the past?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she cast a sharp gaze on her side, Qi Minshu clenched her fists and glared at her, she dared to say it!

Miss Zhao Liu's eyes gradually became infected with the love of watching a play, what is more interesting than meeting them in person, not to mention that it is not their own business, Miss Liu said again at this time: "Isn't it called Qi Ying?" ”

Xiao Liu stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and in Qi Minlan's tense expression, he glanced at the other two: "She's not called Qi Ying." ”

The courtyard was quiet, the corners of Qi Minlan's mouth were slightly raised, and she couldn't hide the victorious look in her eyes, these people were the people she really worked with, in front of so many people, she herself admitted that she was a familiar friend, so when these people said that she was not Qi Ying, how could she justify herself.

She wasn't Ah Ying in the first place, what my aunt said was right, Ah Ying died early, she couldn't be!

Miss Zhao Liu, they looked at each other, oh my God, what is this terrible thing, the five girls of the Qi family are fake?

Qi Minshu clenched her fists and crushed her love to death before she was angry on the spot, but only scolded with a calm face: "What nonsense, the name of the girl of the Qi family is also worthy of being mentioned by you, don't get out of the house quickly!" ”

Rushing out of the house was inevitably a little eager to cover up, Miss Liu glanced at Xiao Liu and the three of them, and found that one of their shoes was very torn under their clean clothes: "What are you doing?" ”

The fat man shrank his feet, hehe smiled, and let him find out after standing behind, his eyes were really sharp, and he was reluctant to wear new shoes.

"It's like asking for food." Someone muttered behind him, and Qi Minshu turned her head over, but she didn't know who said it.

Everyone was stunned, their eyes were full of disdain, Qi Minlan felt that the effect was good, and it was time to close the net, she looked at Qi Xiangsi calmly: "Fifth sister, why don't you speak, they slander you like this." ”

Then she looked at Xiao Liu, as if she was trying her best to argue for Qi Xiangsi: "What nonsense are you talking about, the fifth sister used to be called Qi Ying, not what kind of monkey you said." ”

It's enough to say "she's not Qi Ying", and when this matter spreads, when grandmother and father know about it, everyone will know that she is a liar, and she is a precious.

"She never told me, her name is Qi Ying." Xiao Liu looked at everyone with a look of "why are you expecting me to speak so much", "We keep calling her a monkey." ”

Qi Minlan's smug smile froze on it, what did he say!

At the end, Xiao Liu looked at Qi Xiangsi with a very funny expression: "It turns out that you are the eldest lady, tsk, no wonder you don't play with us, I said why didn't I find you in Huizhou, it turns out that you have returned to Kyoto." ”

Qi Minqing asked curiously: "What are you going to Huizhou to do with her?" ”

"She said she was in Huizhou City, where are we going if we don't go to Huizhou City?" Xiao Liu asked her rhetorically, looking at Qi Xiangsi with a smile, "Then I can't call you that anymore." ”

Everyone didn't react, Miss Cao pulled Qi Minshu's clothes, she was confused, what the hell is going on, where did her fifth sister come from, is it real or pretend.

A smile appeared on Qi Minshu's face, and she glanced at Qi Minlan, who was pale: "Fifth sister, if you don't explain to us again, I'm afraid they will all want to break the edge." ”

Qi Xiangsi raised her hand and patted Qi Minqing's shoulder gently, a little embarrassed: "That's all before, you know that the Qi family has a medical center in Huizhou, I am bored in Huizhou alone, and sometimes I go to the medical center to help." ”

"I'm afraid you will laugh at me, once I went to Yongzhou with the master who collected medicinal herbs, because I followed the caravan, so I met them in the caravan, and they were errands hired by the caravan." Qi Xiangsi smiled at everyone, "It's not convenient to tell others about their own identity when I'm in a foreign place, I only tell them that they are from Huizhou, after I arrived in Yongzhou, I followed my master to the countryside to collect medicine, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is inevitable that I will behave a little like a boy, so they came up with such a name for me." ”

"You still go to the countryside to collect medicine." Miss Zhao Liu's eyes softened a little more than just now, but she still disdainful, the errand runner hired by the caravan is still so familiar with such a vulgar identity.

"Yongzhou is located in the south, many mountains and forests, the herbal medicine resources in the mountains are also very rich, many villages rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they will go up to the mountains to collect medicines when they are slack, and they are the cheapest and least afraid of participating in fakes, and the master of the medical hall will give them some more rewards, so that they will keep the good medicine for us to collect next time." Qi Xiangsi pursed her lips and smiled, and patiently explained to her, "I was interested in these, so I followed a few times." ”

Doesn't it make sense to explain it like this, the five girls of the Qi family grew up in Huizhou since they were children, and they met these people when they went to Yongzhou to collect medicine, because they didn't know her real identity, they didn't know what her name was, and when they came to Huizhou to find her, she had been taken back to Kyoto.

So the question is, how did they know she was here?

Everyone's eyes looked at Qi Minlan, and it seemed that she was the most energetic person who asked just now.

"You're lying." Qi Minlan scolded with a calm face, she looked at Xiao Liu, her eyes were about to pop out, "You said she is not Qi Ying." ”

What did the aunt say when she sent someone to find them in Yongzhou, what did they say when she sent someone to take the portrait over, she was definitely not A Ying, the one named A Ying was already dead, and he died last winter.

She was paid one hundred and fifty taels of silver for sitting on the ground, and fifty taels were paid in advance, and they arrived in Kyoto a month ago, and they had to provide them with good food and drink, just for today's play, and now they actually say so!

Without waiting for Xiao Liu's answer, Qi Minshu took the initiative and snorted coldly: "Sixth sister, you don't want the fifth sister to be called Qi Ying, I listen to you, it seems that she is not the fifth sister, you are happy." ”

As soon as Qi Minshu's words came out, she successfully shifted everyone's attention to Qi Minlan, and Qi Minlan reacted and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that. ”

"Then what do you mean, you have to say it like this when a good friend visits, so you make a fuss."

Qi Minlan's words made Qi Minlan's face even more embarrassed, and at this moment, a steward came over at the door, and looked at Xiao Liu and them with a smile: "Since you are a friend of the fifth girl, please come here with me, there is a banquet in the house today, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”

Xiao Liu looked at Qi Xiangsi, Qi Xiangsi nodded lightly, Xiao Liu immediately shook his head and refused: "No need, no need, since there are distinguished guests in the house, we won't bother much, let's leave first." ”

With that, they hurriedly walked towards the gate of the mansion with the fat man, and strode out of the Qi mansion.

Qi Minshu turned pale and glanced at Miss Zhao Liu: "What about it, is it comparable?" ”

"Of course, I'm afraid of losing to you." Miss Zhao Liu glanced at Qi Xiangsi, and finally snorted at Qi Minshu, "Don't admit it if you lose when the time comes." ”

"I'm afraid you won't win." Qi Minshu gave Miss Cao a look, beckoned everyone to go back to the garden, and when they walked forward, Qi Minshu looked at Qi Xiangsi who stayed behind, and her voice was much colder, "I think the two sisters should have no intention of composing poems, so I won't invite you over." ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Minshu also glanced at Qi Minlan, this beam is considered to be big.

After Qi Minshu left, the steward did not leave, but looked at Qi Minlan and said, "Sixth girl, the old lady, please come over." ”

In the Biqiu courtyard, Qi Xiangsi turned his head to look out the window when he was distracted, the maple tree had yellow leaves, and there were two birds and finches that did not fly south on the branches, chirping.

Old Madam Qi looked at Qi Minlan who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face, she was still angry after a meal: "You are really good at it, you called people in front of so many people today, who are you trying to embarrass you!" ”

"Grandmother, I'm not trying to embarrass anyone, I'm just trying to prove that she's not Minying." Qi Minlan raised her head and pointed at Qi Xiangsi, what else did she hide when she got to this point, "This person is not Minying at all, my aunt has sent someone to Yongzhou to verify before, someone can prove that she is not Minying, the real A Ying has passed away as early as last year!" ”

"Proof, what proof do you take." Old Madam Qi scolded, "It's the three people you found to prove whether it is or not!" ”

Qi Minlan's lips trembled slightly: "Yes, the three of them met her when she was begging in Yongzhou, Ah Ying was originally in Yongzhou with them, Ah Ying died of illness last year, this person impersonated Ah Ying to come to the Qi family, she came to the Qi family with bad intentions and ill intentions!" ”

"Shut up!" Old Madam Qi was furious, "You are as uneasy as your aunt, and if you don't disturb the peace in the family, you are not reconciled, are you really embarrassed by the face of the Qi family!" ”

mentioned Aunt Lu's Qi Minlan's hard work also surged upward, she pointed at Qi Xiangsi with red eyes: "Aunt and I are not deceiving, she is not her father's child, she is impersonating, she herself admits to knowing those people, when they find those people, they are sure that she is not A Ying, it is her, it is she who bought them again before she suddenly changed her words!" ”

"My grandson does know them." Qi Xiangsi came back to his senses and said lightly, "They were originally begging people in Yongzhou City, if it weren't for them, my grandson would have starved to death a few years ago, and when I learned that I was going back to Kyoto City to find relatives, they also pooled money for me, so that I wouldn't starve to death on the way here." ”

Qi Xiangsi paused, and looked at Old Madam Qi without being humble or silent: "Grandmother, I know that their status is not high and they are spurned, but when I see them today, I can't pretend not to know, because they have all helped me, and now that I have returned to the Qi family, I should thank them even more." ”

"As for the bribe, huh." Qi Xiangsi lowered her head and sneered, "I went to Huizhou to worship Aunt Wei, I came and went for more than two months, and after only a few days of coming back, the sixth sister said that I bought them, but I didn't know that the sixth sister hated me so much, and she had to embarrass me in front of so many guests invited by the seventh sister, and even did not hesitate to take advantage of the reputation of the Qi family." ”

"Don't pretend, others don't know I don't know, you knew A Ying when you were in Yongzhou, so you only knew so much about the Qi family, and after A Ying passed away, you robbed her things and came to Kyoto to recognize your relatives, you are sure that others can't recognize you, and you want to be your Miss Qi family with peace of mind." Qi Minlan's chest rose and fell angrily, and she glared at her hatefully, "Don't dream, you're not Qi Ying at all!" ”

Qi Xiangsi smiled and asked her: "I'm not called Qi Ying, so what is my name." "Except for Ah Ying, they don't know what her name is, they always call her Monkey, she is cunning and difficult.

Qi Minlan couldn't say it when she was angry, Old Madam Qi saw it in her eyes, would she still be unclear, she scolded angrily with cold eyes: "Enough, your troublesome temperament is used to Aunt Lu, and I still don't know what is wrong, come here, lock her up in the Buddha hall for me, no one is allowed to let her out without my order!" ”

"Grandmother, why don't you believe me, she is really not Qi Ying." Qi Minlan struggled to be dragged out, why no one believed her, why did those people lie to her.

Old Madam Qi's face was blue and panting, and Mother Lin hurriedly smoothed her back: "Old lady, don't be angry. ”

"She, she's stunned, just like her aunt, what kind of mother teaches what kind of daughter." Old Madam Qi pounded the mat angrily, "Evil! ”

Qi Xiangsi stepped forward and knelt beside her: "Grandmother, don't be angry, I'm also at fault." ”

"What's wrong with you." Old Madam Qi glanced at her, if she wanted to say something wrong, it would come down to the fact that the third child left her in Huizhou to give birth to so many things, but at this moment, Old Madam Qi didn't feel much comfortable when she saw her, and waved her hand to ask her to go back, "Okay, you go back first." ”

Qi Xiangsi nodded: "Grandmother, you have a good rest." ”

Mother Lin sent Qi Xiangsi out, and seeing that her feelings were low, she couldn't help but persuade: "There have been a lot of things recently, and the old lady is also a little annoyed, girl, don't take it to heart." ”

"Thank you for your mother's enlightenment." Qi Xiangsi smiled, "Mother Lin, don't send me, go back quickly." ”

When she walked to the door, Mother Lin went back, Qi Xiangsi glanced at the direction of the Buddha Hall, turned around and walked towards Siyi Courtyard, she knew what the old lady was worried about, many things have been around her these days, even if it was intimate, the old lady felt annoyed.

――――――――――――――――――――――

There are many alleys and alleys in the street market at the foot of Zhenshuiji Mountain, which is located in the north of Kyoto Castle, and there are many people living in the alleys, and there are all kinds of gambling houses and taverns on the street, so there are many people who are of three religions and nine streams here.

In the afternoon, the gambling house tavern was especially lively, and there were many beggars napping and sleeping in the nearby alleys, and after a while, the sound of wheels sounded in the slightly wider alleys, and an inconspicuous carriage appeared in the alleys, and after walking around a few alleys, two girls came out of the carriage.

Qi Xiangsi looked around, this was the place where Qi Minlan had sent people out before, even if he wanted to entertain Xiao Liu, the inn here was cheaper than other markets.

Qi Xiangsi looked into a few clean alleys, and didn't see any familiar people, she thought about it, got into the carriage and asked the coachman to take it to the alley opposite the market to see, the piles of things here were more messy, and there were traces of beggars living here in several dilapidated houses.

"Where will it go?" Qi Xiangsi said to herself, she shouldn't be wrong, according to the temper of a few of them, if you don't know the rules here, you won't go around.

"Who are you looking for?" A familiar voice came from behind, Qi Xiangsi turned her head to look, Xiao Liu was leaning against the wall and looking at her, with a dog's tail grass in her mouth, looking at her lightly, "Miss." ”

Qi Xiangsi didn't say a word, he stepped forward and slapped him on the head directly, hit him crookedly, didn't stand firm and almost got into the debris pile on the side, and the fat man on the side was happy: "Let you pretend." ”

"I'm new." Xiao Liu hurriedly stabilized himself, patted his clothes carefully, and then looked up at Qi Xiangsi, and smiled, "How about it, I'll react quickly." ”

Qi Xiangsi hummed: "It's quite clever." ”

"We originally thought that you sent someone to pick us up to Kyoto to enjoy the blessings, but then they took your portrait and asked us if this was called Qi Ying, and asked us to come to Kyoto to confirm, and also gave us silver, the fat guy is stupid, he said that he would come if he gave fifty taels, you said that fifty taels is enough, how can you get one hundred and fifty taels, so I knocked them fifty taels first."

Xiao Liu took out a money bag from his arms and weighed it proudly in his hand: "I've been here for more than a month, I've seen them a few times, and I have repeatedly confirmed with us, and when I arrived at the Qi family, I didn't know that this was going to trap you, how about it, I'm clever enough, look at how fast I react, if I want to change to a fat man, I'll be stunned." ”

That's why he added a few more words after saying that it wasn't Qi Ying, and finally rounded it up, in fact, his back was already sweating from fright.

"Don't worry, except for a few of us, no one knows about you." Seeing that Qi Xiangsi was silent, Xiao Liu patted his chest and promised, "We are brothers who have worshiped the handle, and we won't say it." ”

Qi Xiangsi smiled: "I'm still afraid that you will say it, what I am more worried about now is your safety." ”

The fat man came over: "What can we do, don't say it, the money here in Kyoto is easier to ask for than in Yongzhou, tsk, look at the rich people in this place, squat outside the tavern, you can manage your fill." ”

"That's all you need." Xiao Liu patted him on the head and turned his head to look at Qi Xiangxi, "What can happen to us." ”

"The Qi family attaches great importance to face, and today's incident has been seen by so many people, I am worried that the Qi family will send someone to find you."

"Then what should I do, they shouldn't kill people." The fat man looked frightened and touched the flesh on his body, "Why don't you go back to Yongzhou." ”

"It's all here, and I'll go back!" Xiao Liu glared at him and looked at Qi Xiangsi with a smile, "Miss, do you have an idea?" ”

"Since I said that you are running errands in the caravan, you should stop begging in the future, rent a place outside the city, and follow the caravan in Kyoto City in the future, there is a shop on Xiang'an Street, I know the shopkeeper inside, you go there." If you are still begging, it will be the same here as returning to Yongzhou, and you may not know what the Qi family will do, but today she let her words out, they are doing rough work, and Cheng Dù, who loves to be a face, will not move them.

"Running errands, how tiring it is." The fat man looked at them with a gloomy face, ate and slept and ate, he was still a beggar in Yongzhou.

"You don't want to marry a daughter-in-law anymore!" Xiaoliu kicked him, "You still want to marry a daughter-in-law at this point, go dream." ”

After kicking the fat man, Xiaoliu agreed to Qi Xiangsi's method: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

"Dumb, you have something to say." The fat man was very sad after being kicked in the foot, and hugged the mute waist and howled, "Look at Xiaoliu, that's it after finding the monkey, he wasn't like this before." ”

Xiao Liu raised his foot and kicked him again, and the roots of his ears turned red invisibly: "Are you looking for a fight!" ”

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll come back to see you another day." Qi Xiang thought about it and gave him another twenty taels, "Don't move the fifty taels first, use these to buy an alley hut, Kyoto is more expensive than Yongzhou, after you buy it, I will find a way to help you get your household registration." ”

Xiao Liu was not polite, and stretched out his hand to take it: "I will go to the shop you said tomorrow, and you won't come to us in the future, you are now the eldest lady, I look at the appearance of those people today, all of them have eyelids higher than the sky, don't let them look down on you." ”

After saying that, he pulled the fat man and the mute man into the alley

After returning to Qi Mansion, it was already evening, the flower tea party had ended, and a few maids were still cleaning up in the garden, Qi Xiangsi learned that her mother and third sister had returned from visiting relatives at the Gu family, and were about to go over to say goodbye.

Seeing that it was the second girl's maid, Jade stopped the person: "What's wrong?" ”

Qiuli took Yushi's hand and cried: "Sister Yushi, the second lady is not in the house now, and there is no one in Rong's mother, go and ask for a doctor, the second girl has an accident." ”

Qi Xiangsi's expression froze: "Something's wrong!" ”

"The second girl, she ate arsenic, and locked herself in the house to prevent us from entering."
