Qi Lingxian and Qi Jinzhi's father and son returned to the capital the day before Laba.

In the early hours of the morning, snowflakes fell in the air, and it fell for more than an hour, and by the time people woke up, the roof and the ground had been covered with a thick layer.

The horses' hooves trampled, and at the gate of the city in the south, more than 20 sturdy men rode horses, all the way from afar. The leader is not someone else, it is Qi Lingxian and Qi Jinzhi.

"Go to the palace to meet the saint!"

Entering the city gate, Qi Lingxian touched his face with his cold hand and said in a deep voice.

Qi Jinzhi responded in a muffled voice, didn't say anything, and followed his father tightly with the reins.

More than three months ago, when their father and son left Beijing, they set off with the army led by Ma Hanze, the general of Zhaochao. After completely quelling the rebellion in the southwest, Ma Hanze led the army to stay in the southwest camp, rebuild the camp, and then garrison the southwest.

And Qi Lingxian's father and son, who were originally the masters of the southwest camp, only brought a dozen or so of their own soldiers, braving the cold and the wind and snow all the way back to the capital.

When the father and son came to the palace, the saint had just gone down to the court, and when he heard that they had returned, he was not embarrassed, and directly announced them into the palace.

When the sage saw Qi Lingxian and Qi Jinzhi with a weathered face, there was a faint trace of guilt in his heart, this time in order to recover the military power in the southwest, he deliberately sent down the Qi family, and Qi Lingyuan's father and son deserved it. And Qi Lingxian was a little wronged.

Especially Qi Ling, who was loyal to his courtiers first, attacked him. The saint is somewhat unforgiving.

But this is also a helpless thing, the four major princes control the military power of the four sides. The dignified army of Qi was named 'Gu Jiajun', 'Qi Jiajun', and 'Yang Jiajun', and every time he heard these words, the saint felt that it was his failure as a king.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sidley, you've done a great job this time, and I'm very satisfied. The saint was silent for a long time and said slowly.

Shengde is the word for Qi Lingxian, and the saint has known him since childhood and is very familiar with each other. The two are in-laws again. The saint Qi Ling Xian also had a little more love from the elders.

However, ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, no matter how guilty the saint feels in his heart, no matter how kind and loving Qi Lingxian is, once it comes to major matters, he is extremely calm.

Verbally praised Qi Lingxian's father and son, and Wen Yan said some comforting words, and then sent the two out. The reasons are readily available: "Sidley has been away from home for a few months, and he must have missed his loved ones very much. Coupled with the fact that tomorrow is Laba, Sidley should go home early to reunite with his family. ”

Qi Lingxian's mouth was full of bitterness, but his face did not show anything, and he respectfully thanked the Holy Grace. Then he led his son to retire and departed.

Out of the palace, I came to the palace gate and looked at the snow-white surroundings. Qi Lingxian sighed silently - the southwest camp was lost, and the foundation of the Qi family's business for more than 60 years was completely ruined!

"Great uncle. It's all my nephew's fault, and I ask my uncle to punish him! ”

Qi Lingxian's father and son returned to the Qi house in Wenchang Hutong. The family was affectionate, and before the masters of Xifu could sit down and talk well, Qi Qinzhi's voice sounded outside the door.

"That's Brother Qin?"

It is said that since the accident, Qi Lingxian has not seen Qi Lingyuan and his son. At that time, when Qi Lingyuan and his son were escorted back to Beijing by the Jinlanwei, Qi Lingxian was asking the emperor to allow him to lead troops to the southwest to quell the rebellion. And when Qi Lingyuan and his son arrived in the capital, Qi Lingxian and his son had already left the capital with the army. The two were staggered.

The county lord of Qinghe nodded, and reminded without a trace: "Master Yuan and Brother Qin have been in the edict prison for a few days, and they have seen the world, and Brother Qin has grown a lot. ”

Qi Lingxian raised his eyebrows on one side, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. Putting down the teacup in his hand, he ordered, "Please come in." ”

The maid said yes and went out. But soon, she walked in with a strange face, "Uncle Qin refuses to come in, he, he will be guilty." ”

This is not right, in fact, Qi Qinzhi has already knelt under the steps outside the door with thorns on his back and straight.

Qi Lingxian frowned and glanced at the county lord of Qinghe.

The county lord of Qinghe understood, stood up, beckoned to Gu Jialuo and Qi Minzhi's aunt and sister-in-law, and led them directly into the inner room-Qi Qinzhi was guilty of pleading, whether he took off his clothes or not, that scene was not something that their female relatives could watch.

Qi Ling saw that the ladies had all left, so he got up and called Qi Jinzhi to go out to have a look together.

Although the third master Qi Hengzhi is young, in the past six months, too many things have happened in the Qi family, and the little boy has also been forced to be precocious.

"The catastrophe of the Qi family is all due to the fault of the nephew, who is tired of destroying the ancestral foundation, and even more tired of the eldest uncle being implicated by the nephew, and the nephew is really difficult to atone for his death!"

Qi Qinzhi was naked, with a few bloody scars on his back, and several thorns tied behind him, and knelt directly in the snow.

Qi Lingyuan stood aside, his face full of shame and resentment, shame was naturally against Qi Lingxian, and resentment was against his son.

Seeing Qi Ling come out first, Qi Lingyuan hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's all this unfilial son who is willful and has caused such a big disaster." raised such a son, I don't even have the face to see the eldest brother. Big brother, this evil beast has done such a bad thing, the national law can be spared, and the family law can't be forgiven, big brother, please teach this kid a lesson. ”

Between the words, there is a sense of respecting Qi Ling as the 'big parent'.

The Qi family has been fighting for 60 years, and it is called a family, but it is actually an enemy. Neither side will accept the other, even if the other party has inherited the title and temporarily occupied the advantage, the other party will not give in.

But it is very rare for Qi Lingyuan to take the initiative to 'show weakness'.

Qi Lingxian vaguely guessed the intention of Qi Lingyuan's father and son.

And the county lord of Qinghe in the house also thought of it.

"Mother, do you have any plans for my cousin and my cousin to do this?!"

The one who spoke was the only daughter of the county lord of Qinghe, the eldest lady Qi Minzhi from Xifu, she was seven years younger than Qi Jinzhi, and she was only twelve years old this year.

Small people do not mean that they have few eyes, and with the careful teaching of the county lord of Qinghe, Qi Minzhi's observation and thinking skills are very good.

The county lord of Qinghe smiled slightly, and guided his daughter softly, "Oh? What's the plan? What did Min'er think? ”

Qi Minzhi didn't answer directly, but raised his eyes and quietly looked at Gu Jialuo.

Gu Jialuo hooked the corners of her lips, she was not close to Qi Minzhi, her sister-in-law, and of course there was no grudge.

Qi Minzhi guarded her like this, and Gu Jialuo could understand it.

Seeing this, the county lord of Qinghe smiled and patted Qi Minzhi's arm, and said angrily: "Your sister-in-law is not an outsider, just say anything you want!" ”

Qi Minzhi deliberately smirked, stuck out his tongue, and grimaced at Gu Jialuo, "I just have an idea randomly, I'm afraid that if I say it, my sister-in-law will laugh at me." ”

The little girl sprinkled with a slightly immature voice, and used her coquettishness and innocence to cover up some impolite behaviors.

Gu Jialuo silently gave Qi Minzhi a compliment, she is worthy of being the daughter taught by the county lord of Qinghe, she is really amazing!

"Naughty again? Don't you want to get down to business? The county lord of Qinghe scolded with a smile.

Qi Minzhi hurriedly made a surrender, "I said, I'll say it." Mother, sister-in-law, I think my cousin and they came this time not to excuse themselves, but to show their attitude to their father. ”

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the county lord of Qinghe, and he asked with a smile: "What attitude?" ”

Qi Minzhi had an innocent smile on his face, but his words were very spicy: "Uncle Cousin, they want to sue SΓΉ's father, they are a family with us." ”

Qi Min said as he looked at his mother and sister-in-law with his eyes, and simply said the answer: "Uncle Cousin, they don't want to split up!" ”

The smile lines on the lips of the county lord of Qinghe deepened, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with her daughter's 'crankiness'.

However, she didn't rush to comment, but turned her head to look at Gu Jialuo: "Xiang'er, what do you think?" ”

Qi Minzhi also set his eyes on Gu Jialuo, waiting expectantly for Gu Jialuo's 'comment'.

Gu Jialuo smiled and nodded, "I think Sister Min's words make a lot of sense. "The Qi family's East Mansion is now dependent on the West Mansion, leaving aside daily chores such as clothing, food, housing and transportation, just for the sake of the family's future, they don't want to cut off from the West Mansion.

The saint does not wait to see the eldest princess and Qi Lingyuan, unless there is an accident (such as the death of the saint), the male of Qi Lingyuan's branch will not be able to come out for thirty years.

The eldest princess's edict is gone, and the whole Qi family's east mansion has become bald people, although there is the eldest princess's rich private property, but in a place like the capital, it is not possible to have money and no power.

And Xifu is different, the county lord of Qinghe is still the county lord, and there are queens and princes as backers in the palace, Qi Lingxian and Qi Jinzhi have no official positions, but as long as they don't touch military affairs, they can still be out of office if they change to a civilian position.

Not to mention that there is also Gu Jialuo, the daughter-in-law of the national mansion...... Added up, the current situation in Xifu is far stronger than that in Dongfu.

Dongfu naturally doesn't want to split up!

But...... Gu Jialuo's words changed: "It's just that our family has to be divided." ”

The county lord of Qinghe's eyes flickered, but soon regained her calmness, and she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Qi Minzhi's eyes widened with curiosity.

Gu Jialuo told the conclusion of the past few days: "In the past, our family was not divided into the southwest camp, in order to protect the foundation of the Qi family. And now I have to split up, but it is for the future of the Qi family. ”

Gu Jialuo looked left and right, lowered his voice, and whispered: "As long as our family is not divided for a day, the master and the master will not be able to recover for a day!" ”

Gu Jialuo's words were very thorough, but he also explained the history and current situation of the Qi family.

The county lord of Qinghe finally showed a satisfied smile and nodded slowly: "That's right, our Qi family has indeed reached the point where we have to split up!" (To be continued......)
