Qi Xiangsi and Qi Minyan greeted Mrs. Ming, Mrs. Ming looked at them happily, and smiled and mentioned to Gu that Qi Minyan was about to get married: "It's next month, time flies so fast." ”
"Yes, there are many happy events in the house this year, and there will be happy events after the four girls get married." Gu glanced at Qi Minlan and smiled at Old Madam Ming, "Old Madam will be able to get it then." ”
"That's certain, the prince can't come back in the north of the county, so I naturally want to take Minlan over to congratulate him." Old Madam Ming glanced at Qi Minlan next to her very kindly, "Not long after getting married, the prince left Beijing, and he also wronged her." ”
The smile on Qi Minlan's face did not change, and she calmly lowered her head slightly: "The prince went to the north of the county, and I should stay here to be filial to the old lady for the prince." ”
Old Madam Ming maintained a faint smile there, but a few of the clear-eyed ones saw the alienation inside, Qi Xiangsi looked at the Miss Yan family who had been supporting Old Madam Ming, that bright demeanor and the tone of voice that had just accompanied the old lady were two types with Qi Minlan.
"I'm a bad wife, I don't have anything to accompany." Old Madam Ming immediately turned around and smiled at the ladies who came, "Don't stay here, let's go and sit." ”
Qi Minlan's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and after hiding it, she walked towards the Gu family.
The six girls of the Qi family in the past were already the princesses of Yueyang Palace, with dignified clothes, long skirts dragging the ground, heavy headdresses like palace etiquette, and this young face was even more noble.
Qi Xiangsi had to admit that Qi Minlan was very beautiful, she was a little more charming than Min Yan, and she was not like Aunt Lu, standing there with such a smile was also a bit pleasing to the eye, if there was not so much meaning in her eyes that glanced at her, it would be better.
"Mother." Qi Minlan greeted the Gu family very politely, then called the fourth sister and the fifth sister, and looked behind the Gu family, "Why don't you see the eldest aunt and the second uncle?" ”
Gu Shi bowed slightly: "They will go out later than us." ”
"Then I'll accompany you first, in addition to inviting Zhao Jiaban to watch the play today, there are arrangements for the dinner, I spent a lot of effort for this banquet, mother, do you think it is good?" Qi Minlan walked to Gu's side, and raised her arm slightly, as if she was supporting in the eyes of others, Qi Xiangsi stood behind and looked, and there was quite a sense of mother-daughter affection.
"You have put so much effort into it, and there is an old lady Ming watching, naturally you can't be wrong." She was not cold to Gu Shi for approaching her like this, and her tone was light, the same as when she was in Qi Mansion, "You don't have to greet us, there are so many guests here today, you can go and get busy." ”
"There are aunts and grandmothers outside, and I will accompany you to go in first." Qi Minlan was unmoved, sent them to the stage, and then left someone to serve, smiling and letting them take care of themselves, "I'll go over and have a look first, and I'll come back later." ”
Qi Minyan, who hadn't spoken all the way, withdrew her gaze from Qi Minlan, who had left, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and finally confided a few words: "She has changed a lot." "On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, she was able to jump with her sisters because of Brother Hun'er's affairs, and now looking at her calm hospitality, it has only been more than half a year.
Qi Xiangsi smiled slightly and looked at Mrs. Ming, that was because the people who fought every day in the Yueyang Palace's mansion were highly capable.
......
It didn't take long for the Wang family and the Fang family to come over, and at this time, the guests were almost there, and everything was ready on the stage, just waiting for the show to start.
Gu and Wang sat in front, she and Qi Minyan were behind, while chatting, the dim sum plate in front of her was less than half, and Qi Minshu on the side saw this, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Fifth sister, didn't you eat breakfast when you went out?" ”
Qi Xiangsi calmly took a bite of the pastry, swallowed it and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Yes, I slept late yesterday and got up late in the morning." ”
"What is the fifth sister busy with, I haven't seen you since I came back yesterday." Qi Minshu intimately wanted to move the plate in front of her to Qi Xiangsi, but Qi Xiangsi raised her hand and refused, "No." ”
"I've seen this play at Cao's house, I have to eat it for a long time, the fifth sister will eat more." Qi Minshu smiled warmly, no big plates, no small plates, "You don't have to be polite here at the sixth sister." ”
Qi Xiangsi smiled back at her, and her eyes were fixed on her face: "I'm full." ”
Qi Minshu's hand touching the plate was quickly retracted, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her voice was neither light nor heavy: "Yes, looking at it like that, I thought that the fifth sister had to eat a few plates." ”
A low snickerer came from behind him, Qi Xiangsi looked at the curtain that was gradually opening on the stage, and his tone faded down: "I'm not like you, where can I eat a few plates." ”
"Fifth Sister really likes to joke."
Qi Xiangsi turned his head and looked serious: "Who told you that I was joking?" ”
Qi Minshu's expression froze, and her face was a little unbearable: "Fifth sister, what do you mean by this." ”
"It's not interesting, it's just teaching you, don't take boredom for fun." Qi Xiangsi has no interest in these little tricks of verbal squeezing, she wants her to lose some face, and she doesn't mind pulling her to make a fool of herself.
Qi Minshu's face completely darkened, and the snickering behind her stopped, Qi Minyan gently pulled Qi Xiangsi's sleeve, and before she could open her mouth, there was an opening gong sound from the stage, and everyone's attention was attracted by the stage, and no one paid attention to the small movements here.
Receiving Qi Minshu's glare, Qi Xiangsi was very calm, and when she turned her head, she bumped into Qi Minyan's helpless eyes, and she smiled at her with relief: "Watch the show." ”
Qi Xiangsi didn't like to watch dramas before, and she was not interested in the stories in the play, so she couldn't sit still after half an hour, just as Hua Dan and Xiaosheng on the stage were playing husband and wife plays, everyone watched attentively, and someone behind Qi Xiangsi suddenly pulled her, turned her head, and bumped into a pair of cunning eyes.
The little girl didn't sit down, so she squatted there, and when she saw Qi Xiangsi looking at her, she made a "it's me" with her mouth, and beckoned to her: "It's boring to watch the play, let's go out." ”
Without waiting for her to agree, Xiyue pointed to the door: "I'll wait for you there." ”
Qi Xiangsi didn't want to stay here either, so she whispered to Qi Minyan: "Fourth sister, I don't like to watch this, go outside for a while, don't worry about having jade with you." ”
Qi Minyan nodded, and while the applause started, Qi Xiangsi bent down and walked out of her seat and walked outside.
Although the voice was still in his ears, but without that atmosphere Qi Xiangsi felt much more relaxed, when he stepped down the steps, he suddenly heard a scare sound from behind him, Qi Xiangsi looked at the sunset moon that popped out with a smile: "County Lord." ”
"It's boring, why didn't you get scared." Xiyue pouted and looked very dissatisfied, Qi Xiangsi raised her hand and flicked it lightly on her forehead, "It's fun to scare people." ”
Xiyue covered her forehead and glared at her, Qi Xiangsi smiled, but the lord of Hanshan who followed Xiyue out on the side was a little stunned, she was also a straightforward girl, she grabbed Xiyue and asked directly: "Why aren't you angry when she plays your forehead?" ”
"Are you angry with me?" Xiyue raised her hand and flicked it lightly on her forehead, the lord of Hanshan shook his head, and Xiyue grabbed her, "That's fine, let's go, let's go find embroidery." ”
Lord Hanshan understood the meaning of his words, and glanced at Qi Xiangsi several times: "It's not good to take her there, not to mention that Xiuxiu said that she would keep it secret." ”
"You still don't believe me?" Xiyue grabbed her, and pulled Qi Xiangsi to urge: "Go quickly, go quickly." ”
————————————————————————————
What is it like to conspire with three little girls?
In the small attic where the hot wind blew, Qi Xiangsi, who was inexplicably pulled here, looked at the three little girls in front of him, and he really couldn't describe the feeling.
And Qi Xiangsi felt that she might have had auditory hallucinations just now, so she asked, "What do you say you want to do?" ”
"We're going to make a fool of that woman at the dinner later." Yuzuki repeated what they had just said, and when the dinner party began, they were going to make a fool of their embroidered stepmother.
"That's right, if it reaches the ears of the embroidered father, he won't like that woman." Lord Hanshan nodded, and he didn't believe Qi Xiangsi very much, "You won't say it." ”
Qi Xiangsi raised her forehead, and now it was too late to ask her this question: "Do you know who I am?" ”
Ming Xiuxiu nodded: "You are your mother's sister, the girl of the Qi family." ”
Knowing who she is and telling their plans like a bamboo tube, they are innocent or believe in her, but Xiyue seems to be very indifferent: "What does it matter, you have such a bad relationship with the princess, my mother said, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, besides, you are my eleventh ......" Xiyue hurriedly stopped, glanced at Qi Xiangsi, and saw her looking at herself with a smile, Xiyue smiled, "I believe in you." ”
Qi Xiangsi looked at her helplessly and didn't speak, and Xiyue's eyes widened: "Then you can't help." ”
Qi Xiangsi smiled and clasped her arms together: "Why do you want her to make a fool of herself." ”
"Because she killed the embroidered little girl." The lord of Hanshan said angrily, "That's a cat who has been embroidering for several years, just because she accidentally scratched her skirt, she let people poison the little girl, and she also sued the wicked first that the embroidery did not discipline the little girl." ”
Xiyue nodded: "I've been raising a little girl for several years, I never eat anything outside on weekdays, and it's impossible to be poisoned by eating anything by mistake, and she also pretended to say that she wanted to buy another cat for Xiuxiu, hum, fake benevolence and false righteousness." ”
"Do you have any proof?"
The three of them shook their heads in unison.
If you want to say whether Qi Minlan will do something to poison the cat, Qi Xiangsi believes it, Qi Minlan did such a thing when she was still living in Yirong Xuan, but Yuan Bao is a wild cat, and she is wary and refuses to eat other people's things, and she may not be fooled if she is thrown in the corner, so she didn't get hit.
At that time, Yuan Bao hadn't offended her or anything, but he had to pay attention to a reason for everything: "Then how can you be sure that she made people poison the cat, although she has a motive for poisoning, but this does not mean that she did it." ”
"On the day of the disappearance, the maid next to my mother came and sent some new embroidery pictures from the embroidery workshop, and Xiao'er said that she smelled a strange smell on the maid, like dried fish." Ming Xiuxiu thought for a while, "After that, I took a nap, and I sent someone to look for it when the little girl didn't come back in the evening, and I didn't find it in half of the house, and I found it in the back the next day, and it was dead." ”
"The little boy opened his mouth, spit foam and stinked, the fish head that the Lantern Festival found in the grass pile behind it, it must be the little boy who ate the leftovers, it picked its mouth, never ate the fish head, and then my brother quietly sent the fish head to the doctor to see, it was poisonous, and then I asked people to set the girl's words, and it was indeed the maid next to the mother who told her to do this." Ming Xiuxiu raised her head to look at Qi Xiangxi, and her expression was full of tenacity, "Are these evidence?" ”
A person with such a temper as Mrs. Ming, the grandsons and granddaughters who taught her are not weak, and the Ming embroidery is only weak, she can think of making people ugly in public on an occasion like a banquet, and their premeditated plans are not a day or two, Qi Xiangsi looked at Xiyue for a long time: "Your idea." ”
Xiyue smiled: "It's uneven." ”
"Then how are you going to fight the injustice?"
"Xiuxiu said, the dinner invited the singers in the music workshop to perform, and they will make mistakes when the time comes." Xiyue happily talked about their plan, "There are a lot of guests invited today, and the banquet is messed up in front of so many people, the old lady will definitely be angry, and then ah......"
Xiyue took out a small box from her arms, placed it in front of them, and blinked, "Whose bowl do you say it's better to put this?" ”
There was a porcelain bottle in the box, and there were more than a dozen small pills in the bottle, Qi Xiangsi picked it up and smelled it, the stomach pain and diarrhea, the lord of Hanshan County had already thought of whose bowl to put it in: "Which guests are the most expensive today to put in whose bowl, have you got the list for serving?" ”
Xiyue took out a piece of paper from behind her and raised it, very proud: "Then you still need to say, I have already thought of it, this eighth dish is soup, not to mention anything else, they will definitely taste this one." ”
"Put it in the Yan family's bowl." Ming Xiuxiu suddenly opened her mouth and pointed out, "The bowl that was put in the six girls of the Yan family is also Mrs. Yan's." ”
Drugged to make people have stomach pain and diarrhea and make an ugly appearance, it doesn't seem to be a big deal for them, as long as they can achieve what they want, what is it to make a little trick, but is it really just to be upset for the cat?
Qi Minlan has only been married to Yueyang Wangfu for a few months, she will not be in such a hurry to do anything she wants, not to mention that Yueyang Wang is in the north of the county, and the person who can protect her the most is not there, and the Yueyang Wangfu that she tried her best to marry into was when she established her image in front of Mrs. Ming, how could she lose her breath so quickly, and let people find out.
Then Qi Xiangsi looked at Xiyue: "The medicine is released, what about those singers." ”
"That's not invited from the music workshop, or some people who are good at piano and dance are selected from the flower building in Baihua Lane to perform at the banquet, and the nobles of the family often invite them to perform at home." Ming Xiuxiu paused, her eyes flashed with disdain, "I heard that it seems to be the Oiran in the Xiaoyao Building in Baihua Lane." ”
In the Xiaoyao Building of Baihua Lane, several Oiran Qi Acacia knew each other, and she took the porcelain vase from Xiyue's hand: "What is it called." ”
"It seems to be called Hua Yuan, and she dances very well."
"Flowers?" Qi Xiangsi silently recited the name, then smiled, raised his hand and flicked Xiyue's forehead, word by word, "You can't do this." ”
"Why!" Xiyue was not convinced, got up from the stool and glared at Qi Xiangxi, thinking about what kind of tirade she could say to educate, but Qi Xiangsi weighed the bottle in her hand and looked at them with a smile, "Because I guess there will be other good things at the dinner." 166 Reading Network
