The screams sounded in the side hall, and the maid who was standing there reacted quickly to stop Aunt Lu, and finally Aunt Lu hit the table on the side, her waist and abdomen were knocked at the sharp corners, and her face was pale with pain, Qi Minlan was directly frightened and cried, and she refused to let go of Aunt Lu's hand.

Aunt Lu covered her waist and looked at Qi Herui with tears in her eyes: "Master, I might as well die after being wronged like this." ”

Qi Herui's brows were still furrowed, but it was already the same as just now, and after half a ring, he turned his head to look at Gu's: "Just do what my mother said." ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Herui left the side hall directly, and the last words that Aunt Lu, who was helped up and sat down by Qi Minlan, were still in a fog to the master, and before she could raise her head, Mrs.'s voice came: "Since Aunt Lu and the deceased Aunt Wei are brothers and sisters, presumably Aunt Lu also loves Minying's child very much, and now this child and Minlan are arranged in the same yard, and you will take care of her more in the future." ”

Qi Herui's departure made Aunt Lu breathe a sigh of relief, but Gu's next words made her breathe unevenly, originally because of the master's love, after returning from Huizhou, she still took care of the two shops and a Zhuangzi and did not return it to Mrs. In the past few years, it has been the master who has protected her to grasp these, but now the master agrees with the old lady's words, and wants to take these back and hand them over to Mrs. to take care of, which is simply a bolt from the blue for her.

"After Aunt Wei died of illness, Minying was left out, but as a serious lady of Qi Mansion, she lived such a life, and the old lady was very distressed." Gu Shi looked stunned when she looked stunned, a flash of sharpness flashed in her eyes, and then ordered, "Shuxiang, follow Aunt Lu back to Xiuhe Garden, and go through the accounts of Huizhou Shop and Zhuangzi." ”

"Ma'am." Aunt Lu was shocked and reacted very quickly, and shirked and let Shuxiang go back with her, "Don't be so troublesome, I'll personally send the account to Mrs. in a few days." ”

Without waiting for Gu to speak, Aunt Lu changed her face and groaned in pain, and Gu looked at her indifferently: "It's okay, scholarly, send Aunt Lu back to Xiuhe Garden." ”

Aunt Lu's personal maid and Qi Minlan helped Aunt Lu out, and Mama Chen, the dowry mother beside Gu's side in the side hall, helped her to the door: "Miss, my aunt picked it up and put it lightly, so Wu Jishun didn't have the courage to do it without her instructions." ”

"It doesn't matter if we believe it or not, just believe it." Gu Shi stroked her waist, Chen's mother quickly pinched two handfuls for her, Gu Shi stepped out of the threshold and looked at the yard, as if smiling, "Now that the child is back, she is so sorry." ”

"Fortunately, the old lady is in charge, everything in Huizhou should have been handed over to you by Miss a long time ago, and my uncle was blinded by her to give it to her for so many years." Chen's mother sighed, "It's really wronged." ”

As a nurse who married over is most aware of her own lady's difficulty, married into Qi Mansion for 14 years, the first year just conceived a child Aunt was transferred to Huizhou, Miss was pregnant and could not accompany her, so let Aunt Lu who had just entered the house accompany, the next year Miss gave birth to a child, Huizhou there after half a year after a gap two aunts are pregnant, this side of the young lady is anxious to think about the past Huizhou and can't let go of the young four girls, but also God bless, Huizhou gave birth to two daughters, after a few years the aunt came back frequently, Miss Jean gave birth to a son-in-law before Aunt Lu.

The newlyweds were separated soon after, and it was six or seven years after separation, and there was more or less life between the aunt and the young lady, but Aunt Lu was like a fish in water in front of the aunt, and she gave birth to a son two years ago.

The rules of a family like the Qi family, which has officials and businessmen, are lighter than those of the big families, Aunt Lu is pampered and arrogant, and she dares to have no rules in front of her wife, and the six girls born to Aunt Lu regard themselves as noble concubines.

Hearing that Chen's mother was upset for herself, Gu's eyes flashed: "Send someone to Huizhou." ”

Aunt Lu, who was sad all the way to Xiuhe Courtyard, waited for Shuxiang to leave, her expression eased a lot, and the personal maid hurriedly went to get the medicinal oil to apply it for her, the scene of hitting the pillar was arranged in advance, but it was unexpected to hit the corner of the table, it was really painful, and it hit a large bruise.

Aunt Lu changed her clothes and leaned on the couch, Qi Minlan sat down and complained about Qi Ying who suddenly appeared: "Didn't you say that she will never appear again, now she has to live in my yard, I will go to my father and let him call the shots for me." ”

"She has been missing in Huizhou for many years, and a little girl has been taken away by someone who has been taken away." Aunt Lu was suspicious of the origin of this Qi Ying from the beginning, and she couldn't say what was strange, but she just felt that she was not, how many things she had lost by her appearance, and Aunt Lu remembered that her heart and waist and abdomen hurt together.

"Then hurry up and tell my father that she is pretending, Aunt Wei and Qi Ying must have died a long time ago, and I don't know where the wild girl from the countryside dared to pretend to be the young lady of Qi Mansion with a token, so I don't want her to live in my yard." Qi Min Lanhuo got up to go to Qi Herui to make it clear, but Aunt Lu hurriedly held her down, "What are you anxious about, now is not the time." ”

"So what's the time?"

Aunt Lu endured the abdominal pain, and a touch of cruelty flashed in her eyes: "When she shows her feet." ”

"You get along with her, don't make your father suspicious." Aunt Lu pulled her daughter to teach carefully, "I have my own opinions about what happens after that." ”

Qi Minlan nodded reluctantly, Aunt Lu told her a few more words to let her go back to Yirong Xuan first, the maid in the house came in and lit incense, Aunt Lu leaned there and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and now the headache came over her brains, and what was put at the forefront was how to make the master completely dispel her suspicions about her, as well as the shops and Zhuangzi in Huizhou, without them, how much silver would she have to make less money this year.

Thinking of this, Aunt Lu thought of the account that would be handed over to Mrs. in a few days, and her mind turned very quickly, and she propped herself up and asked the maid to take the account: "Go and get some things and send them to Yirongxuan to Miss Ying, and see if there is anything missing." ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Qi Xiangsi received a lot of things on the first night she arrived in Qi Mansion, the old lady's, the eldest lady's, and the three rooms and courtyards here, most of which were the things that the Gu family added for her.

Jade took a few maids to clean up a few side rooms in the afternoon, the middle is the main room, the left is the side room and the right is the study, most of the things in the main room are new, Qi Xiangsi lay down and sniffed the faint smell of sunlight in the quilt without sleepiness, homeless for four years, she almost forgot what it feels like to be a new quilt.

In the past, when she couldn't sleep and had nightmares, Ying'er accompanied her, but now when she closed her eyes, she was in front of Ying'er when she died.

The guilt of the old lady's poor father, and the kindness of the housemother to her are also mixed with other things, Qi Xiangsi has seen too much warmth and coldness in the world over the years, and the Qi family's affection for Ying'er is too bland.

Qi Xiangsi raised his hand and gently touched the ivory pendant around his neck, and the look in his eyes gradually gathered perseverance, Ying'er, don't worry, what should belong to you and your mother, I will help you get it back.

The jade on the ground outside the bed hit the floor to keep vigil, she heard the sound of tossing and turning on the bed and knew that the five girls were not asleep, so she slowly got up and looked at the bed, and after a long time, the bed finally did not move Jade lay down with confidence, and she didn't dare to sleep too deeply, for fear that the six girls would call her at night

This night seems to be extraordinarily long, Qi Xiangsi woke up from sleep, the sky outside will never be bright, and when she woke up again, it was already dawn, there was a sound of movement outside the bed, and the jade opened the curtain and smiled: "The girl is awake, just right, the eldest lady is at home today, and the old lady sent someone to say that she chose the time to let the girl go to the small ancestral hall to offer incense." ”

The little maid brought a basin and a small bowl, and Jade handed Yang Zhi to Qi Xiangsi, worried that she wouldn't be able to brush it, so she motioned to the little maid to bring the crockpot, and reminded with a smile: "This is the Poria cocos ointment specially ordered by the second master to be boiled by someone, which is used to gargle the mouth." ”

Qi Xiangsi looked at the ointment in the clay pot and was stunned, according to what Yushi said, he picked up the poplar branch and dipped some in his mouth and put it in his mouth, and when the cool medicinal smell spread, Qi Xiangsi was completely stunned, how could this be so similar to the special mouthwash ointment made by his grandfather.

The Qi family's prescriptions are not passed on, including the tea often drunk at home, and the ointment used to rinse the mouth are all developed by her grandfather and father themselves, and the taste of the ointment in her mouth is very similar to that that her mother often gives her, but it is a little more bitter, and it is still a little worse than the cool and fragrant taste in her memory.

Jade's shouts brought her back into her distraction, Qi Xiangsi took a sip of warm water and rinsed it, and the clothes she was going to wear today were already prepared on the side, which were changed by Gu Shi to take the new clothes of the fourth girl, Qi Minyan, overnight.

Qi Acacia's skin was much whiter with a light green color, and Jade carefully rubbed her hands with mutton fat cream, and after simply combing her hair, a table was set up in the room, eight snacks in the food box drawer, as well as porridge and side dishes.

After eating the morning food, Jade took her to the small ancestral hall in the house, there was an offering table in the courtyard of the small ancestral hall, incense was lit in the ancestral hall, and a thin middle-aged man who was a little similar to Qi Heruisheng took the incense in and out a few times, and when he saw Qi Xiangsi coming, there was not much other look on his face, he only nodded to Qi Herui who was guarding the side, and the Gu family who was waiting in the courtyard here beckoned her to come over: "Wait a while to receive the incense your father gave you, kneel here and kowtow." ”

Qi Xiangsi walked into the ancestral hall, Qi Hexiang, the eldest man of the Qi family, held the incense high with a solemn expression and bowed three times in his mouth, and then handed the incense to Qi Herui, and only after he worshipped did he hand over the incense to Qi Xiangsi.

In Kyoto, the background of the Qi family is not deep, Qi Xiangsi held the incense and looked at the tablet listed above, and thought silently in her heart, she came to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors for Ying'er today.

After three worships, the uncle inserted the incense in the incense burner on the table in front of him, and the steward took out the family tree, and the name was added by the master of Qi under Qi Herui, and from now on, she Qi Minying is the fifth girl of Qi Mansion.
