After recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, the Qi family held a small family banquet, except for the second master's family and the young master in the academy, they were all invited to the small hall in the front yard at home and set up two tables.

After taking a seat, Mrs. Qi officially introduced Qi Xiangsi to everyone, she happily took Qi Xiangsi's hand and said about the main table: "You saw it yesterday, this is your eldest uncle, this is your sister Minhua, our third girl, she also has a Minhui above her, married to the eldest son of Tian Shilang's family, this is Min Yan, your sister, your fourth sister." ”

Qi Xiangsi followed the introduction of Mrs. Qi, smiled a little implicitly, and skipped the banquet hall, which is not small, this banquet is also simple and surprising, so many people in the Qi family only got together two small tables, the main table is sitting here, and the second table is undoubtedly the child of the concubine, and as the protagonist today, Qi Xiangsi's extra honor is to stand next to Mrs. Qi and be introduced, and then she will return to the second table.

The Qi family has no children, a son, two daughters and three children, the eldest daughter Qi Minhui has been married, and the second daughter Qi Minhua is also going to say goodbye; There are five children in the second room, and a pair of children who have been born out of Kyoto for more than a month with the second master and the second lady on the cruise ship of the Shengshang's southern tour; And the most children belong to the third room, the Gu family has a pair of children, Aunt Lu gave birth to three, Aunt Qian is pregnant, and now there is a fifth girl who recognizes her ancestors and returns to her ancestors.

"We'll get familiar with each other more in the future." Old Madam Qi patted Qi Xiangsi's hand with a smile, her palm stroked the back of her hand, the expression on her face was momentarily moved, and then she looked at Gu Shi who was sitting on the side, "Hurry up and add the person who is missing, you come to me in the afternoon." ”

Gu nodded, "Hey." ”

Then Mrs. Qi instructed her mother on the side: "Are a few girls still learning red girls?" ”

"Yes, the newly hired master has only been teaching for half a year."

"Let Minying follow, the girl's family, it was not easy to live before, and it can't be wasted in the future." Old Madam Qi finally let go of Qi Xiangsi's hand, with a kind expression, "Hungry, go back and sit, brothers and sisters have time to get to know each other and get along slowly." ”

Qi Xiangsi returned to the second table, Qi Minlan sat on her left, Qi Minshi and Qi Minqing from the second room on the right, and the rest were younger boys, the two-and-a-half-year-old Brother Hun'er was not able to use chopsticks, and asked the nurse behind him to pick up vegetables for him to eat, and Qi Yanrong next to him was a little adult, and even his sitting posture looked so upright.

"Is Huizhou far from here?" Qi Minqing, who was sitting next to Qi Minshi, looked at Qi Xiangsi curiously, as the youngest lady in Qi Mansion, Qi Minqing, who was only six years old this year, looked innocent, "Fifth sister, where have you been living for so many years, why haven't you come back?" ”

Qi Minshi gently pulled her sister: "Huizhou is quite far from here." ”

"Yes, it's still across Xianyang." Qi Minlan replied instead of Qi Xiangsi, "She doesn't have any travel expenses on her for such a long journey, how can she come here." ”

The smell of gunpowder soon filled the table, Qi Xiangsi didn't speak, and Qi Minqing was even more curious: "Then how did you come here now?" ”

"Then you'll have to ask the fifth sister." Qi Minlan's tone was quite ill-intentioned, "Huizhou has come so far, and the fifth sister is penniless, how did she come all the way?" ”

Qi Xiangsi picked up the chopsticks and picked up the mixed vegetable rolls in front of him, a serious book: "Begging all the way." ”

Qi Minshi was stunned for a moment, Qi Minqing covered her mouth with her small hand and looked very surprised, but even Qi Minlan, who was interested in watching her jokes, looked a little entangled, Qi Xiangsi opened her mouth and took a bite of the vegetable roll, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped the corners of her mouth, and after swallowing, she winked at Qi Minqing: "Do you believe this?" ”

Qi Minqing was stunned for a long time and came to her senses, her little face blushing: "Fifth sister teases me." ”

Qi Xiangsi chuckled: "Alan said that I was penniless, and there was only this method left along the way." ”

Qi Minqing looked at Qi Minlan at this time: "How did the sixth sister know that the fifth sister was penniless." ”

"Why do you have so many questions." Qi Minlan glared at her angrily, "Eat your meal!" ”

Qi Minqing looked very innocent when she was yelled at like this for no reason, she pursed her lips and looked at the soup just served in front of her, and said negatively: "I don't want to drink this, who asked you to serve it for me, replace it!" ”

I don't know what Qi Minshi said to her, Qi Minqing's face turned better, and he lowered his head to eat without saying a word, and the corners of Qi Xiangsi's mouth moved slightly, heh, they are all masters who are not easy to serve

When leaving after eating, Qi Minqing stuck to Qi Xiangsi again, it seemed that he was particularly interested in her, and on the way back, he kept asking her about Huizhou, Qi Xiangsi felt that something was wrong after listening to a few words, looked down at Qi Minqing, saw her looking at herself with a harmless face, raised her hand and pinched her cheek unceremoniously, and asked her with a smile: "Why do you want to know about Huizhou so much?" ”

Qi Xiangsi's hands are not as delicate as everyone's ladies, and they are rougher than maids, Qi Minqing subconsciously frowned, raised her hand and pushed her away, pouting and complaining: "Fifth sister, you hurt me." ”

Qi Xiangsi let go of her hand and looked at her, Qi Minqing quickly recovered, and smiled innocently: "The boat cruising south passed through Huizhou, my brother and sister followed my father, and I want to go too." ”

The emperor's southern tour is a great honor for the imperial doctor who can follow him, and the second uncle can also bring his family to the great gift, but it's a pity that only the concubine has the opportunity to go, Qi Minqing wants to go, but it's a pity that he is a concubine.

"There's nothing worth visiting." Qi Xiangsi smiled, just ask a few words curiously, wouldn't it be like a cliché to ask so much, "If you're curious, just wait for them to come back and ask." ”

"Didn't you stay in Huizhou for twelve years?" Qi Minqing took care of himself and entered the house with Qi Xiangsi, looked inside the house, and sighed sincerely, "Fifth sister, your house is really small. ”

"It's much better than when I was in Huizhou." Qi Xiangsi glanced at her and thought for a while, "I haven't always lived in Huizhou. ”

Sure enough, Qi Minqing's eyes lit up, as if she had found something worth mentioning, and looked at her curiously: "Fifth sister, you have been to another place." ”

"That's right." Qi Xiangsi asked Jade to pour her flower tea and brought two plates of dim sum, and after sitting down, she said casually, "I left Huizhou and went to Yongzhou, and I have lived in Yongzhou for a few years. ”

"What are you doing in Yongzhou, isn't it good to live in Huizhou?" Qi Minqing pouted and meditated, Qi Xiangsi lowered his head slightly, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, "I forgot about it for too long." ”

"It's not safe to be out alone, you should have come back sooner." Qi Minqing took the cup and played with it in his hand, "A few years ago, there were many abducted children in Kyoto, and those who were abducted did not come back, and the little son of Liang Guogong's family was lost at that time. ”

Qi Minqing sighed lightly and was relieved: "Fortunately, the fifth sister didn't have an accident in Huizhou." ”

Qi Xiangsi paused, then turned his head to look out the window, and his voice was very soft: "It's not that I haven't encountered it." ”

Qi Minqing was stunned: "Fifth sister, what are you talking about." ”

"Nothing." Qi Xiangsi turned around and smiled at her, "It's not too early, why don't you go back to rest?" ”

"yes, I'm glad I forgot about it." Qi Minqing glanced at the maid beside him, "Xiaoxiang, you don't remind me." ”

Qi Xiangsi sent them to the door, watched Qi Minqing leave Yirongxuan, turned his head and asked the jade on the side: "Are the eighth girl and the second girl born to the same aunt?" ”

"The second girl is from Aunt Luo, and the eighth girl is Aunt He." Jade Shi asked the maid to put the cloth she had just sent on the table, and smiled and asked Qi Xiangsi to come over and look at it, "This is something that Madame just sent, you can pick the one you like and make you a few clothes." ”

The satin cloth is smooth to the touch, and the material sent by the Gu family is not the best, but for Qi Xiangsi, any moment now is better than in the past, she raised her hand and touched the thick satin surface: "Sister Yushi, look at it." ”

"It's better to just have this thousand red and sky blue." Jade pointed to the two horses placed on it, "This light green is also beautiful, it is better to make another one for the girl." ”

"Okay." Qi Xiangsi's mind was obviously not on these clothes, she walked out of the house and walked to the study, paused halfway through, was driven away at the age of six, and not long after Aunt Wei passed away, Ying'er should not be literate at that time.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiangsi turned back to the house and asked Jade: "Is there a bookstore in Kyoto?" ”

"The girl is going to the bookstore?" Jade put down the work in her hand and thought that she hadn't had time to put the book in the study next door, so she smiled, "There are several bookstores in Kyoto, what book does the girl want to read?" ”

Qi Xiangsi shook his head, with a hint of embarrassment in his expression: "I'll talk about it next time." ”

probably thought of Qi Xiangsi's concerns, and Yu Shi didn't say anything more after comprehending it, but secretly wrote down in his heart that he wanted to mention to his wife about the five girls' literacy

At this time, Qi Minqing, who left Yirongxuan, turned around and went to the small garden behind Yirongxuan, where Qi Minlan was waiting for her, and when she saw her coming, she motioned to the maid to look outside: "Why have you been there for so long." ”

Qi Minqing still had a harmless and lovely look: "It's really strange what you want me to ask." ”

"Do you want the pendant?" Qi Minlan didn't target her like she did in the banquet hall just now, but raised the brocade box in her hand, "Did you ask?" ”

"Of course I did." Qi Minqing's eyes followed her bracelet and looked directly at the brocade box in her hand, "Then you give me the things first." ”

Qi Minlan thought about it, and directly threw the brocade box into her hand, and her tone was impatient: "Hurry up." ”

Qi Minqing opened the box and smiled even more after looking at the pendant: "The fifth sister said that she didn't stay in Huizhou all the time, but also went to Yongzhou for a few years. ”

Qi Minlan snorted: "There's more." ”

"I mentioned the little young master who disappeared in the Liang Guogong Mansion a few years ago, and when I heard what the fifth sister meant, she also seemed to have encountered such a thing." Qi Minqing was very happy with the pendant in the brocade box, and looked up at Qi Minlan, "Sixth sister, the third uncle loves you so much, you must have a lot of good things there." ”

"What are these?" Qi Minlan patted her shoulder and lowered her head to coax her, "You and the fifth sister are more close, ask her more about Huizhou, I have good things here for you." ”
