Chapter 82: Brother Qin
"You're not Yun Ran at all, who are you?"
Xi Yunzhi's calm words spread in the quiet private room, shocking the heart.
Gu Ran hooked the corners of her lips, looked at her with interest, and after a long time, she clasped her hands to her chest and said, "Sister, is this the first sentence you said after you and your brother recognized?" ”
"Yun Ran's appearance inherited from my mother, the corners of his eyes are raised, Danfeng eyes, and there is a small tear mole under his left eye, even if these facial features will change with age, but at least Yun Ran in my memory is not like you." Xi Yunzhi was surprisingly calm: "I don't know what your purpose is in pretending to be Yun Ran, but please don't deceive an old man's long-awaited feelings for his long-lost son, that will make people think you are despicable." ”
After she said this, she stared at Gu Ran for a long time before she crossed him, picked up Xi Zheng, who had fallen drunken on the soft couch, and walked out of the private room, not paying the slightest attention to the aggressive gaze that followed behind her.
Gu Ran watched her support Xi Zheng, walked down the stairs with difficulty, and unconsciously touched his chin, he seemed to be the first time he was so disgusted by a woman.

After Xi Yunzhi led Xi Zheng home, he handed it to the porter Lao Lu and asked him to help Xi Zheng back to the backyard. She herself went back to the main house.
Bu Qin seemed to have returned to the room, because the plate of white sugar cake she had placed on the table before she left was missing.
Xi Yunzhi hung the cloak on the screen, walked out of the room, and went to the study next door, and sure enough, he saw Bu Qin sitting under the lamp studying something.
When she walked in, Bu Qin didn't raise her head, compared the empty teacup to her, and Xi Yunzhi took the teapot from the table and walked towards him.
"What are you doing at Sun Moon Lake at night?" Bu Qin searched for the book and recorded it at the same time, and he didn't forget to talk to Xi Yunzhi in his mouth.
didn't want Gu Ran's matter to bother Bu Qin again, so Xi Yunzhi said while pouring tea:
"Oh, it's nothing, my dad got drunk in the restaurant by Sun Moon Lake, I'll go pick him up."
Bu Qin took the teacup that Xi Yunzhi had poured over, took a sip, and then said: "By the way, today I heard that the noble man Tong offended the emperor and was punished with a rod for twenty, do you want to take the time to go into the palace to take a look at her?" ”
Xi Yunzhi listened to Bu Qin's mention of the palace, his mood was even lower, and he moved the Taishi chair by the window to Bu Qin's bookcase and sat down, propped his elbows on the table, and shook his head listlessly:
"No, there is a reason why the noble Tong was punished, I am not from the inner palace, so I can't control so much."
Bu Qin heard the depression in Xi Yunzhi's words, and couldn't help but glance up at her, and saw that she was pale and radiant, and the whole person was lying on the side of his bookcase like a wilted child, playing with the inkstone pitifully.
Putting down the pen, Bu Qin took Xi Yunzhi's hand and asked her to sit on his lap, Xi Yunzhi first shook his head, saying that he didn't want to move, but he couldn't resist Bu Qin's strength, so he had to fight his spirit and walked to his side, and after hiding in his warm embrace, he didn't want to get up again, so he found a good place and stayed still.
"Don't you want to tell me something?"
After the two were silent for a moment, Bu Qin took the lead.
Xi Yunzhi shook his head, unable to arouse his interest, Bu Tan reached out and touched her forehead to make sure that she did not have a fever, and then said:
"If you don't want to say it, just forget it, I'm sure you can handle everything."
"Well, I can handle it." Xi Yunzhi nodded as she spoke, Bu Qin patted her on the cheek for comfort, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Xi Yunzhi:
"By the way, in a few days, the marshal of the Bujia Army guarding Nanning will return to Beijing, and he may live in the General's Mansion, you can arrange it, there are about ten people in the group."
As soon as Xi Yunzhi heard that a guest had come to the door, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Bu Tan with round eyes, and asked puzzledly:
"Marshal of the Nanning Bujia Army?"
Bu Qin nodded: "Well, didn't I tell you?" The Bu family still has 200,000 soldiers in Nanning, all of them are Bujia soldiers, and Marshal Bu Chi is my cousin uncle and the last leader of the Bu family, and he is highly respected. ”
Xi Yunzhi shook his head: "No, you didn't tell me." The Bu family still has such a respected leader, so when you and your grandfather were driven out of the capital, why didn't you see them stand up to protect you? ”
"......" Bu Qin was very helpless at his wife's sharp question, and said with a smile: "Didn't I lose the battle at that time? In the eyes of his cousin, a general who lost a battle should be punished. ”
Xi Yunzhi looked at her husband and didn't say anything, although she felt that this cousin uncle was too unreasonable, but after all, he was their elder, and it was not good to talk about it behind his back.
Since her husband asked her to prepare a guest room for guests, she just needs to do it. For the rest, she believes that her husband must be measured.
***
Xi Yunzhi watched the development of the Luoyang embroidery workshop in the backyard of the north and south shops, and felt that the potential was unlimited, she had already sent someone back to Luoyang to send a message to Aunt Lan, asking them to buy the idle shops on Luoyang Xiangluo Street to expand the embroidery workshop.
Xi Yunzhi also opened a garment shop in the capital, while receiving local garments, she also bought the finished products made by the Luoyang embroidery workshop, because the embroidery is exquisite, it is indeed very popular with the ladies and ladies in Beijing, coupled with the reputation of her wife, her ready-to-wear shop has gradually become the most in the capital.
She will go to the emperor to ask for military clothes, and she is not completely unconfident, at least she has a complete industrial chain here, and the shops in the capital can't be finished, and she can also let Luoyang step up.
It's a pity that this road was blocked by the emperor's selfishness.
Walking out of the backyard, Xi Yunzhi was about to go back to the General's Mansion, but as soon as he walked out of the store, he saw that Suzaku Street was full of people rushing to run, all running to the street, hugging on both sides of the road, and in the blink of an eye, the alley was empty.
"What are you going to see?"
Xi Yunzhi has the impression that there are two empty alleys of 10,000 people on Zhuque Street, one is that her husband defeated more than 100,000 dogs with 20,000 elite soldiers, and returned triumphantly, and 10,000 empty alleys; The second time, it was her father's high school champion, and when he marched into the palace, I don't know what everyone was doing this time.
Xiao Fang in the store immediately replied with high emotions:
"Look at the general. The only female general in our Xiao country, she is majestic. ”
Female generals?
Xi Yunzhi was puzzled, but he couldn't hide his curiosity, so he stood in front of his shop and looked at it from a distance.
The mighty horse team came from the north, and there was a big word 'step' written on the high triangular fan, and Xi Yunzhi remembered what her husband said to her last night, Nanning Bujia Army, it's them.
The man at the head was forty or fifty years old, resolute and majestic, with two white hairs on his temples, which made him feel the vicissitudes of life, and anyone who saw him would be impressed by his iron and strong-blooded strength.
But Xi Yunzhi glanced at the horse team and knew that what people were watching together was not this majestic marshal, but the figure of the white horse and red clothes and silver spears following the marshal.
"She is the only female general in our Xiao Kingdom, ouch, she looks really heroic, how can she be handsome?"
Xi Yunzhi heard the guys beside him spread around the topic of this female general like beans, and he couldn't hold it back.
Don't say it's them, even when Xi Yunzhi saw her, she felt that such a woman was really legendary, her appearance was outstanding, a pair of slender sword eyebrows were inserted obliquely into her temples like a blade, and her slender phoenix eyes were indescribably evil, I saw her sitting on horseback, heroic and cool, her tight lips were not rubbed with rouge, and she looked a little white, but it did not affect the heroic spirit around her at all.
As if feeling Xi Yunzhi's scrutinizing gaze, those sharp phoenix eyes swept straight in the direction of Xi Yunzhi and landed accurately on her face, Xi Yunzhi only felt a sigh in his heart, as if he had been bumped by someone, and the feeling of conflict invaded.
This is the so-called aura, Xi Yunzhi has seen it thoroughly this time.
The horse team passed by the door of her shop, and people gradually moved forward with the movement of the horse team, Xi Yunzhi thought about her husband's instructions yesterday, and saw the horse team walking towards Zhengyang Gate, and must have entered the palace to meet the emperor first, and then went to the general's mansion to rest.
She got on the carriage back, bought more than a dozen jars of aged rice wine and more than a dozen jars of bamboo leaf green from the best restaurant in the city, and bought famous dishes such as duck with eight treasure sauce and steamed hooves.
After personally supervising the cleaning of the courtyard quite close to the main courtyard, he went to the kitchen to arrange the dishes for the dinner in the evening.
Everything was ready, Xiao An saw the table full of good dishes, climbed on the stool and was about to climb to the table, fortunately it was discovered early by Bu Chengzong, otherwise by the time the guests came, the little guy might have already sat on the table and eaten.
As soon as the time was approaching, Bu Qin took the guests to the General's Mansion.
The person who came was the majestic marshal and the sassy general she had seen on the street during the day, and she saluted them in a dignified and generous manner, and then took out the posture of the mistress and invited them in.
Xi Yunzhi arranged a total of eight meat and eight vegetarian cold dishes, and a jar of rice wine exuding a rich fragrance attracted the attention of the majestic marshal Buchi as soon as the seal was unsealed, and he held the wine jar directly in his hand to watch, and also sent the mouth of the altar to his nose from time to time to sniff.
"It's ...... Not less than twenty years of fragrant glutinous rice bar? ”
Everyone couldn't understand how a good marshal could be so interested in the wine used for the banquet, Xi Yunzhi explained with a smile on the side:
"Step Marshal Takami. This is a special aged wine made by Guiyi Winery in Beijing, it is indeed glutinous rice wine, if the marshal feels that it is not strong enough, there are also aged bamboo leaves here. ”
Bu Chi couldn't help but look at the generous Xi Yunzhi a few more times, and then nodded to Bu Qin and said with a smile:
"Okay, as long as it's wine, I love it, but my favorite is this fragrant glutinous rice wine, and I feel like I'm enjoying it when I smell it. Qin'er, did you tell your wife that the old man loves to drink rice wine? ”
Bu Qin glanced at Xi Yunzhi and said with a smile:
"My uncle loves to drink rice wine, and my little nephew still doesn't know, so how can he tell his insider."
"Really?" Bu Chi still didn't believe it, Xi Yunzhi didn't care, beckoned the people who were accompanying him to sit down, only to feel a fiery red figure passing behind him, without saying a word, he sat down next to Bu Tan, hooked Bu Tan's shoulder heroically and unrestrainedly, and said:
"Cousin Qin, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we have to have a few drinks tonight."
Xi Yunzhi couldn't help but be frightened when she saw that she was so heroic as a girl, but when she saw her husband's look of surprise, she knew that their previous relationship was like this.
I only heard my husband's beautiful voice spread from the hall:
"Brother Qin is rare to see, so he should sacrifice his life to accompany him."
The female general who was called 'Brother Qin'er' by Bu Tan had a look of 'I was just waiting for your words', and patted Bu Tan twice on the back:
"Good. It's okay to say today, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home! Whoever goes back first will be a grandson! How is it? ”
After Brother Qin's hoarse summoning words were issued, everyone at the dinner table echoed them, and everyone raised their glasses.
"Okay, don't get drunk tonight!"
“……”
Xi Yunzhi only felt as if he had done something wrong.
On the way back, the packs of candied fruit that I bought on purpose were probably not needed.
I thought that this female general was a man with a girl's heart, and would be interested in candied melons and fruits, but I didn't expect this girl to be a man's body and a man's heart, candied fruit or something, or leave it to her to trick Xiao An into sleeping.
