After returning to the Qi family, Qi Xiangsi made this request to the Gu family, at first the Gu family did not agree to her, first, Huizhou is far away, it is not suitable for her to go back to a girl's house, and secondly, she is just an aunt, just send someone to go, why go in person.

But Qi Xiangsi was not discouraged, and made this request for several days in a row, and Gu Shi couldn't help but be a little angry: "You must go." ”

Qi Xiangsi stood there, just as humble and silent when she came to Qi Mansion to recognize her relatives: "My aunt gave birth to me and raised me, but I didn't have time to do half of my filial piety, so I hope to go over to see her when she dies." ”

Gu's expression darkened, she was busy getting rid of Aunt Lu and didn't take much care of her before, but now looking back, she has also put a lot of effort into Aunt Lu's matter, this child is not simple.

"Filial piety is due, but the way to do filial piety is not the only one, it is not safe for you to go to Huizhou alone with a girl's family, this has come and gone for many months, I can't promise you." Gu Shi rejected her again, "Don't mention this matter again, you are now the fifth lady of the Qi family, so go alone, what if something happens." ”

"Something will happen."

As soon as Gu's voice fell, Qi Herui's voice came from the door, and Gu was slightly stunned in the room, and soon his expression returned to normal, and he got up and smiled: "Master, why are you here." ”

Since Aunt Lu was sent to the outer village, Qi Herui has been sleeping in the study, the relationship between husband and wife did not ease until half a month later, in mid-June, Aunt Qian gave birth to Luo Ge'er, Qi Herui spent most of his time in the Mingluo courtyard and the study, and occasionally came to spend the night here in Jinxiuyuan, like this day, Qi Herui rarely came.

Qi Herui entered the house and saw Qi Xiangsi standing there, asking casually: "What are you talking about?" ”

Gu didn't speak, and Mother Chen on the side explained with a smile: "It's not a big deal, fifth girl, I'll send you out." ”

Qi Herui glanced at Chen's mother lightly: "Minying, where are you going." ”

Mother Chen was about to help Qi Xiangxi's hand for a moment, her eyes flashed, and then she came back to the words: "It's the fifth girl who wants to go back to Huizhou, it's a long way to go back from here, it's really unsafe, and Mrs. didn't agree out of consideration." ”

"What are you going to do in Huizhou?" Qi Herui asked Qi Xiangsi directly.

Qi Xiangsi glanced up at Gu Shi and said in a low voice: "Aunt Wei's death day is coming, and my daughter wants to go back to worship her." ”

"Master, a daughter's family goes out like this, let alone going to Huizhou, even if I go to Tongzhou, I don't worry, Minying has this filial piety, and it will be the same when she sends someone there." Only then did Gu Shi speak, out of concern or otherwise, he just couldn't go.

"It's not good to go alone." Qi Herui picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "Then send a few more people to accompany you." ”

Gu's eyes shrank, and he was about to do it against himself: "Master, now that your position has just been decided, you can't let others pass on some wrongs." ”

Qi Herui had a faint smile on his face, and it was not a big deal for him: "There is no saying that my daughter's family can't travel, just send more people to follow the caravan over, and since I am going back to Huizhou to worship, I can't say anything." ”

The cup in Gu's hand was pinched a little tighter, and her slender and white knuckles were a little red, and she put down the cup, and a touch of anger flashed in her expression: "Since the master has said so, if I don't agree again, wouldn't it be unreasonable." ”

"Madame has always understood righteousness." Qi Herui didn't forget to say something nice, and motioned for Qi Xiangsi to go back, "Go and talk to your grandmother." ”

How could Gu not understand her husband's intentions, she agreed, and then went to the old lady to talk about it, there would be no variables in this matter, he came here today, it should not be just to fight against her.

Qi Xiangsi left the mouth, and Gu's tone became even lighter: "The master is free today." ”

"I'm also coming back to tell you something." Qi Herui put down the cup, "In the past few days, you have arranged a courtyard to come out, and I will take a small one." ”

Gu's expression is really unbearable now, Na Xiao? He really said it, how old the children are and how young he is, Aunt Qian was only newly admitted to the government four years ago.

"Sir." Gu Shi steadied herself, "Next year, Yan'er will start talking about marriage, you have to admit another person in, what will she think of her husband's family in the future." ”

"How can you see it?" Qi Herui got up and disagreed, "In a few days, people will be brought in, and Mrs. has worked hard for the past two days to clean up the place." ”

After that, Qi Herui left the Splendid Garden directly.

Gu Shi pinched the chair so hard that he didn't quarrel with him, he came here in broad daylight, and he would fight against her when he entered the door, she refused to let Min Ying go back, so he had to agree to her, and now he actually had to take a concubine.

"The eldest brother and sister-in-law have been married for 21 years, except for the first one who has a roommate, and there are two aunts in the second room, which was arranged by the original mother, and now it is his turn." Gu sneered, she wanted to respect her husband as Mother Chen said, but where did he deserve her respect.

"Madam, if the lord takes a concubine, you are also the wife he is marrying, and you are a serious housewife, and no one can cross you." Chen's mother hurriedly supported her, "The matter of the fifth girl happened to be met by the master, and you also know the master's temper." ”

Gu didn't want to hear these anymore: "You go to the front yard to have a few more people at Steward Li, and then follow Minying to Huizhou together, is Siyi Courtyard packed up, carry the things in the past two days, and let Zhang's mother go to Huizhou with you." ”

"Do you want Shuxiang to go with you, so that she can watch it."

"No, just let Zhang's mother watch it." If something happens outside, she can't help it, the kid's idea is too big, and the Gu family doesn't particularly like it, "Go to Mingluo Courtyard and clean up a small courtyard again." ”

Chen's mother moved her mouth, but in the end she still didn't persuade: "Hey, then I'll send someone to clean up." ”

Two days later, Qi Xiangsi left Qi Mansion and went out early in the morning, and Brother Rong, who had not yet gone to the academy, came to see her off.

"Fifth sister, you take this." Brother Rong handed him a small box held in both hands, and Qi Xiangsi took it and shook it in his hand, "Silver? ”

"There are sixty taels of silver in it, and you can carry it with you, in case you need it all the way."

"How can I take your money?" Qi Xiangsi pushed the box to him, raised his hand and touched his head and smiled, "I don't lack it, my mother has prepared a coil, and besides, I have enough on me, you can keep it." ”

"It's always good to be prepared." Brother Rong insisted on giving it to her, he was going to the academy, and he couldn't get away from it and followed him to Huizhou, and when he had time to go to Huizhou to worship his aunt, he didn't know when, "The fifth sister will put incense on my aunt for me." ”

"Then I'll keep it for you." Qi Xiang saw that he insisted and didn't shirk it, and asked Jade to put away the box, "I'll give it to you when I come back." ”

Qi Yanrong nodded: "Fifth sister, get in the car quickly, it will take half an hour to go to the South City Gate from here, don't be mistaken." ”

Qi Xiangsi looked at him after getting into the carriage: "Then I'll go." ”

Qi Yanrong smiled at her: "Go early and come back early." ”

Jade pulled down the curtain for her: "The fifth young master loves to laugh a lot more than a while ago." ”

Qi Xiangsi pursed his lips and smiled: "I don't see whose brother he is." "A Ying is such a person who loves to laugh, Brother Rong must be like his sister.

Zhang's mother in the carriage was rearranging the contents of the box for Qi Xiangsi, Qi Xiangsi glanced at it, signaled the jade to leave it alone, and rested on the mat with her back.

After a while, Zhang's mother's voice came to my ears: "Girl, according to Madame's instructions, let's go back this time to live in Qi Mansion, although there is everything, but after all, no one has lived in it for many years, and we have to add some simple ones then." ”

Qi Xiangsi didn't open her eyes, and Yu Shi said for her: "Mother Zhang, since Madam ordered so, she should also have instructed you to add something." ”

Mother Zhang looked at the contents of the box and flattered her with a smile: "Madame has told me so, but since I came to serve the girl, I still have to listen to the girl." ”

"What Mother told you." Qi Xiangsi opened her eyes and looked at her, and Zhang's mother sat closer to her, "Madame asked me to serve you well, after all, jade is still the girl's house, and someone has to take care of it when I get out of the house after arriving in Huizhou, if the girl has anything, just tell me to do it, I am an old woman, everything is convenient." ”

That's where she goes.

"Since Zhang's mother is an old man, after arriving in Huizhou, you will be needed to help with the affairs of the house, since my mother assigned you to me, it must be because of your ability, since this is the case, I am also relieved that you will do these things." Qi Xiangsi smiled casually, and said it decently, since it was assigned by her mother, she had to be respectful on her face.

Mother Zhang was happy to hear it in her heart, and the modesty on her face rose and fell, and she promised again and again: "Girl, don't worry, I will do my best." ”

"That's good." Qi Xiangsi squinted again, and it didn't take long for the carriage to arrive at the South City Gate and meet the caravan that was about to depart.

There are not only people like Qi Xiangsi who go out in the caravan, it is not safe to be alone, it is much safer to follow such a team on the official road, and those of them who followed the past were arranged in the middle.

After a quarter of an hour, the caravan went down from Tongzhou County, all the way to Huizhou, which was expected to take about 20 days, and it was hot at this time, so the time of departure was relatively early, and the noon rest for an hour, and then find a place to rest when it was dark at night.

After more than ten days, when they were about to reach the border between Tongzhou and Huizhou, the caravan found a place to rest by the river that night.

Everyone was a little tired after a few days of hurrying, and Zhang's mother couldn't stand it, she was used to living idle days in the house, and now she was riding in a carriage for more than ten days, and her eye sockets were sunken.

Lianxin went to the river to get some water to boil, there was laughter outside the carriage, a few days ago either rested at the post station, or directly on the road overnight, now it is finally easy to rest along the river, several children in the convoy can't wait to follow the river to play.

Qi Xiangsi opened the curtains and looked at it, there was already a fire burning outside, and many people were piling pots and cooking things there, and after a while, the aroma overflowed.

In the darker place in the distance, a few figures were treading water along the river beach to play, Qi Xiangsi couldn't help but laugh when he heard the laughter, just when the jade soup was brought over, Qi Xiangsi put down the curtain and sat in front.

At this moment, there was an exclamation on the river beach not far away, and someone had fallen into the water.
