However, in just a few days, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the home is also lively. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Several sisters are going to celebrate the festival at their husband's house, so in addition to the second elder in the family, there are Qingzhuo, Qingyi and Xinli.

Two days in advance, the Chi family sent someone to reply that they agreed to stay for a few more days, because Xinli still has four brothers, so the family will not be deserted during the festival, and Qingzhuo's sincerity will decide to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I haven't been back for almost a year, Luo'an Town is still so peaceful, with small bridges and flowing water, ancient lamps and wooden houses, and bluestone slabs paved with a soft charm in the afterglow, protecting this isolated town so beautifully, without the slightest demonstrations, confrontations and demonstrations from the outside world.

Walking on such a road, Qingyi is very quiet, and wants to enjoy this quiet lifestyle and avoid the disturbances of this time.

Qing Zhuo on the side smiled all the way, and he was not impatient at all when he stepped on the road he walked day by day.

"Qingyi, are you coming back this time, how many days will you stay?" Qing Zhuo saw that his sister didn't speak, so he asked.

"It's about 10 days, the school curriculum is very tight, I have to rush back to it, the exam is about to be, but I don't dare to relax."

The Xi family is all accomplished, and he can't insult this style.

The most important thing is that the school has recently selected people to study in France, and Qingyi wants to compete and go outside to see what kind of romantic feelings are mentioned in the book.

Qing Zhuo said, "In this way, then you should go out and take a look, Luo'an Town has changed a lot during this time, and there are more foreign things on the street." ”

"I know, my brother is more nagging than my mother." Qingyi replied with a smile.

Turn a small bridge, rows of small stalls appear in front of you, this is the famous Changfeng Street in Luo'an Town, buy mostly some girls like jewelry and pleasing little things.

Qingyi was obviously very familiar with this, and walked straight in.

But after all, I won't be here for a while, and there are still a few shops that I haven't seen before, so I was suddenly curious, and I went to visit with a light step.

Qing Zhuo smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself, this sister is still the same as when she was a child, and she went along.

Sure enough, the new stalls bought some foreign goods, with exquisite pocket watches, Western mirrors, wool gloves, and hats with large edges.

I didn't expect that there would be so many imported products, so I chose a few hats at the moment, thinking that I would go home and give them to my sisters, so as to please them.

Qing Zhuo followed her closely and paid.

When he was looking for money, he caught a glimpse of Qingyi walking towards the crowd in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Qingyi, slow down, wait for me to find money." ”

Qingyi turned around and saw her brother's anxious appearance, snorted, and said with a smile, "Brother, I have become a little follower now, the second sister knows, and I don't laugh at you." ”

Suddenly turned around, didn't see anyone in front of him, and hit it straight up.

"Oh, miss, it's okay, where did you come from, you don't look at it when you walk."

I saw a man dressed as a maid shouting at Qingyi.

Qing Zhuo caught up from behind and began to apologize, "I'm sorry, my sister didn't mean it, I still hope that this young lady Haihan." "It's okay, little peach, don't say a word." The woman standing next to her said.

Turning her face to look at Qingyi smiling embarrassedly, as if she was telling her that she was embarrassed, don't take the little girl's words to heart.

"I don't think the girl's accent is like a local, is she here to play?" Before Qingyi met, the woman Qingli did not lose her atmosphere, so she asked.

The woman was not a person who twisted, so she immediately stretched out her hand and said to Qingyi: "Make a friend, hello, I'm Chi Xinli." ”

"Hello, I'm Xi Qingyi, this is my brother Xi Qingzhuo." Qingyi also reached out to hold it, and expressed his apology in a friendly manner.

Goose egg face, willow eyebrows, cherry mouth white and red, a slight smile is heartwarming, seeing Xi Qingzhuo is a little stupid.

For a long time, what I saw was either a lady or a small jasper, but it was rare to see a woman with a little playfulness in this kind of gentleness, and Chi Xinli also felt his eyes, his face was slightly red, and he was a little shy.

Xi Qingyi smiled when she saw this brother's expression, as if she hadn't seen a woman for a long time.

"Hehe, it's better to meet by chance, so is this young lady willing to go shopping with us?"

Qingyi saw his brother's thoughts, so he invited.

Xiao Taohong next to her interjected, "My young lady is going to Xilin Street." ”

Chi Xinli glanced at Xiao Taohong with disgust, and said in an echo: "It's a little inconvenient today, I'll make an appointment with the two of you another day, Xinli will say goodbye first, and the two of you will go shopping slowly." ”

After that, he bowed slightly, and walked away to another street with the girl.

Xi Qingzhuo behind him was dragged away by Qingyi before he could react, "She just left, where can I find her?" ”

Qing Zhuo was a little angry, blaming his sister for not asking.

Qingyi couldn't help laughing, this brother didn't ask himself, but blamed me, and said, "Don't worry, brother, if you have a fate, you will see you again." ”

In this way, he was dragged by Qingyi to walk the whole street, but Qingzhuo's mind was no longer there.

Xi Zhai.

The second sister Qingya saw that the two of them came back, and Qing Zhuo, who was holding something in her hand, was very happy, but Qingyi next to her was very happy, so she quipped: "Yo, what's wrong, I lost my soul when I went shopping, let's talk about it, Qing Zhuo has taken a fancy to that girl again." ”

Qing Zhuo put down his things and looked at the second sister with picking eyes, "Second sister, what is it, I haven't seen a few in total, I said this, I look like Ximen Qing." ”

When Qingyi heard this, she smiled and bent over, "Brother, what is the matter with Liu Niang of the embroidery workshop, Huihui of the Wang family, and Ling Xue of the Shangguan family, could it be that we made it up?" ”

"Hey, that's not young and ignorant, Fangzheng I mean you can't do it, just laugh. Be careful that the brother-in-law and future brother-in-law are scared. Xi Qingzhuo said unconvinced.

Because he didn't have a heart, he said hello to the second elder, turned around and left, leaving a large family to joke and guess.

Chi Xinli bought what he wanted from Xilin Street, and went back to the inn with the maid, and after washing, he lay on the bed, somehow, he remembered the man he met today.

In his heart, he depicted Xi Qingzhuo's appearance over and over again.

He has a faint smile on his gentle face, his facial features are upright, his figure is straight, and he speaks very politely.

When looking at yourself, your demeanor does not seem to be frivolous, but it is a little more interesting.

"Xi Qingzhuo, the name is also very good, but I don't know when I will meet again." Chi Xinli sighed with a little regret, and fell asleep quietly, after all, there are still very important things tomorrow, and they can't be delayed.

Xi Qingzhuo, who had just returned to the room, hurriedly walked to the desk, opened a roll of rice paper, dipped the pen in ink, and traced the beautiful woman in his heart one by one.

Yuan Shan Dai's eyebrows, smart and cunning eyes, palm-sized face, slender and graceful figure, a beautiful picture came alive in a short time, jumping on the paper.

After finishing the painting, he wrote on the side: The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was in the lamplight.

Such a beautiful person, but you only have to see it once, it is likely that you will not have a chance in the future.

Carefully blow dry, carefully put away, maybe this is the only encounter, even if you are unwilling, you can only give up, leaving this beauty in the bottom of your heart.

Early the next morning, Qingyi neatly put on a corseted riding costume, coiled her hair high, replaced the pendant on her body that was easy to bump, took her hat, and went to Xi Qingzhuo's room.

"Knock knock", "Brother, get up, I'm ready, are you okay?" ”

The little guy around the corner came over with a basin, saw Qingyi, and bowed down.

"Fifth Miss is early, the young master is estimated to wake up at this time, or you go to the dining room to wait for a while, and when the young master is cleaned up, then go to meet the young lady."

Qingyi pouted, "Okay, then you tell him to hurry up." He turned and walked out of the courtyard.

The servant gently pushed open the door, put the basin away, and walked into the bed.

"Young master, it's time to get up, the fifth lady has gone to the dining room." After speaking, he looked at the person on the bed.

Xi Qingzhuo was still asleep quietly, breathing steadily, and didn't seem to be woken up by the sound of Qingyi and Xiaowu.

Ali looked at Young Master Qingzhuo, who was sleeping soundly, frowned, and planned to scream again.

"Less ......"

"Ali, if you say another word, I'll tell Uncle Fu." With that, he clicked his lips, rolled over, and went back to sleep.

Ali on the side was very stressed, and he was afraid that Miss Fifth would be unhappy after waiting for a long time, but if he spoke out again, Uncle Fu's reprimand would be uncomfortable, and he was struggling, and he saw the person on the bed sitting up obliquely, looking at his expression and laughing.

Lifting the quilt, Xi Qingzhuo got out of bed and said with a smile, "Seeing that you are scared, how can I say it?" You're my good baby, and it's fun to play with you. Ha ha. ”

With a long sigh, Ali began to help Qing Zhuo get dressed, "Young Master, it's not kind for you to scare Ali so much, the mouth of the butler Fu, but he can scold people so much that even he feels that he is extremely guilty." ”

"What you say, be careful, if Uncle Fu hears it, you will ask for more blessings." Qing Zhuo quickly freshened up and strode towards the dining room.

Ali behind him pouted, closed the door and followed.

Dining room.

There are a few light side dishes on the table, accompanied by white porridge, and Qingyi eats very appetizing.

The maid who was waiting on the side saw Qingzhuo coming, retreated to the kitchen, and soon, brought a pot of coffee, everyone who was serving at home knew that Xi Qingzhuo was going to drink coffee in the morning.

"Little girl, next time you smash my brother's door, I won't take you there." Qing Zhuo raised his leg and came in.

Qingyi stared at her with wide eyes and a provocative expression, "It's okay if you can't get up, be careful that I go every day." ”

"Little thing, you're really grinding, hurry up, otherwise the people in the racecourse will have to wait." Xi Qingzhuo said after drinking coffee.

Qingyi instructed his subordinates to collect the table, tidy it up and go out with him.

Xi Qingzhuo, who had just gone out, passed by the carriage that turned around the corner and didn't pay much attention.

Therefore, I lost the opportunity, and when I learned about it in the future, I regretted not doing it at the beginning.

When Chi Xinli got out of the carriage, he saw the magnificent gate of the Xi Mansion.

The heavy Nanmu door is brushed with dark red lacquer patterns, simple and unassuming, and the lions parked on the left and right solemnly guard the house, and it really deserves to be the first family in Luo'an Town, just this door face.

Chi Xinli pressed his thoughts, motioned for Xiao Taohong to step forward, and handed over the post.

"This eldest brother, please let me know, this is Miss Chi from Sansu Town, who came here to visit Master Xi." After saying that, hand over the post.

The servant glanced at Chi Xinli, who looked like a lady, and replied respectfully, "Then please wait for a while, and I'll go in and report." ”

"That's great, thank you, little brother." Chi Xinli bowed slightly and bowed.

After a while, Uncle Fu hurriedly ran out, "I don't know if it's Miss Chi's family, I'm slacking, my lord asked Miss to come over to talk about it." After speaking, he led the way for Chi Xinli sideways.

Soon entered the main hall and saw Xi Lao sitting on the top seat, Chi Xinli stepped forward quickly, made a big salute, raised his head and said softly: "Uncle Xi is good, the little girl Xinli is the youngest daughter of the father, this time my father suffered a lot of cold, I really can't go to my uncle to celebrate his birthday, so I will make a gift to my uncle for my father first." ”

Xi Lao picked up Chi Xinli, who was kneeling, and smiled kindly, "What did you say, Brother Chi is slightly sick, I haven't visited him yet, but let him miss the day of my birthday, get up quickly." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Chi Xinli sat on the first seat on his right hand and talked to Xi Laopan.

Racecourse.

Xi Qingyi found the white horse he raised, and gently touched the horse's neck, "Xiaobai, I'm back, do you miss me?" After saying that, he patted the horse's neck, and kicked the saddle and got on the horse's back.

Animals are very spiritual, and they recognize their former owners by their smells, and they call "......", as if they express their happiness with their own calls.

Xi Qingyi was also very excited, she hadn't seen this lovely baby for a long time, thinking that it took some effort to tame it at that time, and her feelings for it were even more.

Sitting on the horse and getting familiar with it, Qingyi's interest in horse racing was raised, and he bowed to Xiaobai's ear and said: "Xiaobai, I haven't run for a long time, I'll take you for a walk, drive ......" whoosh, Qingyi rushed out with the white horse, leaving only Xi Qingzhuo, who was still "talking" with the horse, and a place of dust.

Xi Qingzhuo's heart was shocked, and he immediately got on the horse, and without grinding, he rode up quickly.

"Slow down, you haven't touched it for so long, what if you can't control it?" Listening to the brother behind him screaming so fiercely, Qingyi was secretly refreshed in his heart, are you afraid? I'll make you scared a little more.

The plan he had just thought of in his heart was implemented, Qingyi suddenly sped up, and then grabbed the reins with pretended to be afraid, and shouted in some horror, "Good Xiaobai, slow down, I can't catch it." ”

Xi Qingzhuo saw that the situation was not right, this girl couldn't be hurt, so he raised his whip and chased forward, shouting, "You hold the horse's neck tightly, Xiaobai will slow down, hurry, Qingyi." ”

Seeing that his brother's speed was about to catch up with him, Qingyi, who was holding the horse's neck, instantly stood up, pulled the reins, accelerated violently, and left the brother who was about to catch him behind again, turned back to his brother and smiled, "Hehe, my equestrian skills are much better than yours, how could something happen, hurry, let's compete." ”

Qing Zhuo looked at his smiling sister, and he was angry, daring to scare me, and when I caught you, I knew that it looked good. shouted at the person in front of him, "Qingyi, you hold on to me, if you are overtaken, wait for my brother to clean you up." ”

Soon, the shadows of the two men could not be seen in the racecourse, only bursts of laughter and the sound of horses drifting in the white sky.

In the horse farm, the person who was feeding the horses listened to the sound like a silver bell, his face was cold, and there was a trace of contempt on the corner of his mouth, and he called the bodyguard standing beside him, "Go, do some tricks, the show is about to begin." ”

"Yes." The cool-looking man turned and ran towards the forest at the horse farm.

"Hurricane, you say, isn't it jealous that she is smiling so happily." The grazing horse did not react in the slightest, still eating with relish, patting the horse's mane, and the man turned back and walked to the rest room of the racecourse.

Leave a cold place.

Xi Zhai.

Chi Xinli and Xi Lao chatted very speculatively, Xi Lao usually likes to watch some astronomical and geographical things, and over time there are a lot of questions, and he has always wanted to go out to travel again, but he is not in good health, so he can only break his thoughts.

But this Chi Xinli, who has been with the younger brother of the Chi family's housemother since he was 12 years old, has already traveled all over the country, and has been to several European countries, and he also knows the local customs and folklore very well, and has solved many of Xi Lao's previous doubts, and he speaks humorously, which makes Xi Lao very happy.

"Uncle Xi, this is a telescope that my uncle brought back from the West, a small gift, not a tribute." As he spoke, he handed it over.

Xi Lao has always had something in mind about these Western things, so he naturally accepted them happily.

Here, Xi Lao already had a wishful thinking in his heart, thinking about how to set Qing Zhuo's child's lifelong event on this woman, when he saw the housekeeper hurriedly come in, bent down slightly to Chi Xinli to apologize, and immediately leaned on Xi Lao's ear, speaking softly.

Seeing that the smile on Xi Lao's face gradually disappeared, followed by a more and more solemn expression, Chi Xinli naturally knew that it was time to say goodbye, and he heard Xi Lao's voice as soon as the words came to his mouth.

There was no kindness just now, the whole person fell into a kind of coldness, and said in a commanding tone, "Xinli, uncle suddenly has something wrong, you just stay at home, and we will have a good chat in a few days." ”

Before Chi Xinli could reply, he instructed Uncle Fu next to him, "Old Fu, call a few people to the inn to pack up Miss Chi's things and arrange to live in the wing room next to Qingyi." ”

"Yes, sir. Miss Chi, please come with me. Uncle Fu led Chi Xinli sideways to the inner room, Xinli didn't dare to refute when he looked at Xi Lao's not very good-looking face, thanked him at the moment, and followed.

Xi Lao got up, beckoned to the little servant, and said, "Go, call Madame to the study, I have something to tell her." After speaking, there was a heaviness on his face, and he walked to the study.

Qingzhuo's brothers and sisters came back after breakfast, and as soon as they got home, they met Uncle Fu and hurriedly walked to the study, Qingzhuo hadn't seen this old housekeeper like this for many years, twisted his eyebrows slightly, and felt a little strange in his heart, hindering Qingyi's presence, he didn't ask much, and went straight into the main hall with Qingyi.

"Brother, why aren't your parents here?" Qingyi asked curiously.

Xi Qingzhuo didn't say much, "There may be something, you're tired of playing, go and rest." ”

Qingyi saw that there was no one in the main hall, so she went back to her courtyard.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard bursts of laughter from the room next to me.

Could it be that the young lady of which family came to visit and stayed?

Qingyi walked towards the room with some doubts.

"Miss, this bell is really funny, these jokes are funny, I'll make small talk with her another day, and I'll pick some funny jokes to tell you." This voice is so familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere, Qingyi raised her hand and knocked on the door.

With a squeak, the door opened, and seeing Qingyi at the door, Chi Xinli was a little surprised, it was actually the woman she met by chance, bowing slightly, and the little peach behind her also saluted respectfully.

Chi Xinli said decently, "The little girl came from Sansu Town, and her father Chi Mo sent the little girl to visit Uncle Xi because of her father's illness, so she sent the little girl to visit Uncle Xi to congratulate her on her birthday, and she was taken care of by her uncle. ”

Qingyi naturally recognized her, was very excited, and saluted her.

"Who shall I say? It turned out to be Sister Xinli, it's good now, someone has been talking to me. Qingyi was very happy to talk to Chi Xinli, only to know that when he met that day, Chi Xinli had just arrived, and he heard that Changfeng Street in Luo'an Town was very famous and went to go shopping, but unfortunately he didn't know Qingyi.

The two hated to see each other late, and unconsciously, an afternoon was spent in conversation between the two, and by the time Qing Zhuo found it, it was already time for dinner.

Most of the things that are busy with the festival at home are handled by Huo's mother, and the matter of purchasing objects naturally falls on Qing Zhuo, who has also done this before and has rich experience.

But seeing that Xinli stayed for the festival, he naturally wanted to find some opportunities to get closer, took the list listed by Uncle Fu, and went to Qingyi's courtyard.

I heard the two talking from afar.

"You have to be very positive here, and they care about the students' individuality."

"Okay, what about here?"

When Qing Zhuo came in, he saw that the two of them were practicing, and Xin Li acted as the examiner, asking and answering, which was very clear-sighted.

Qingyi finished answering the questions she had prepared before, and saw her brother standing at the door, "Brother, is there something wrong?" Why don't you come in? ”

"Seeing that you are answering seriously, I won't bother you, I am here to borrow your sister Xinli for a day, and show me how to buy the things on this list."

"Yo, didn't you do it very well before, why didn't you do it today when Sister Xinli is here?"

"Girl, if you dismantle your brother's platform again, I won't take you to the racecourse."

Qingyi hurriedly begged for mercy, "Good brother, don't dare again, Sister Xinli is here, you can go quickly." ”

"I'm not an object, let you take it away when you say it." Xinli feigned anger.

Qing Zhuo naturally knew that she wasn't really awkward, and stretched out his hand to her, "Is Miss Chi willing to appreciate the light and go out to buy items with Xiaosheng?" ”

"It's not a good time to go out because it's so big today."

Qingyi looked at the sky, where did the sun come from? At this time, it is estimated that you will have to add a piece of clothing when you go out, and it is really difficult for a woman to raise.

"That's no way, marry the chicken, little lady, please."

"Qingyi is still here, why are you so poor."

Qingyi covered her ears and looked elsewhere, "I didn't hear anything, let's go." ”

Qing Zhuo looked at his interesting sister and smiled, pulled Chi Xinli and went out.

On the street, Qing Zhuo pulled Xinli and walked all the way.

According to the things on the list, choose the usual old merchants, the price and quality have nothing to say, pay the fixed money, and send the guys in the store to send things to the house, and then collect the balance.

Seeing that the orderly Qingzhuo quickly completed the purchase, Xin Li said with some amusement, "I think you are quite familiar." ”

"That's for sure, these stores deliver goods from them on weekdays, so naturally nothing can go wrong."

"Then you ......"

Before Xinli could speak, Qing Zhuo interrupted her, "In the past few days, Qingyi's girl has been pestering you, I haven't talked to you for a long time, such a good excuse, can I not drag you out?" ”

"Your own sister, you are also so careful."

"Let's go shopping. I've been at home these days, and there are many good places in Luo'an Town that you haven't been to. ”

After saying that, he pulled her and gradually disappeared into the street.

In the inn.

There was a man sitting at the table playing chess, listening to the news of the visitor, "Xi Qingzhuo and Miss Chi of Sansu Town seem to be going to get married. ”

"Is the news confirmed?"

"Our spies replied that the Xi family basically acquiesced."

"Marriage, hmph, I'll see how she gets married. You go and tell Ma Si and let him find a chance to do it. ”

"Yes."

"Also, tell Stone that I want to get what I said before I go back to the city."

"Yes."

"Let's go down."

The visitor nodded, and quickly disappeared from the room.

The man in the room continued to play with the old man, "Have you figured it out?" Domino effect. The old man asked as he fell.

"When he drove me out of the house, I had to think of today."

"When is the time for retribution, take a step back, the sea and the sky."

"I only admit that the grass is cut but not the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows."

Xi family, no matter how proud you are, it will soon be a thing of the past.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xi family is brightly lit.

The servants and maids were also able to set a table in the courtyard to eat with the master of the main hall, and the housekeeper Uncle Fu raised his glass to congratulate Master Xi, and the rest of the people responded.

"Lao Fu, it's been most of your life in a blink of an eye, you have grown up with me since you were a child, and after you got married, you have always been in charge of the big and small affairs in the house, although you and I are called the master and servant, in fact, we are already as close as brothers, come, happy today, we are not drunk and do not return."

Uncle Fu is in tears, he has to be treated like this, all these years of hard work are nothing, accompany Master Xi to have a cup of belly, and all the friendship is in plain sight.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, for the sake of my cousin's father and mother's heart, I will give double wages, and I will go to Mr. Wang to collect it tomorrow." Xi Qingzhuo spoke.

Everyone thanked them.

When the "newspaper ......" was communicating, I only heard the voice suddenly sound, and it was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that it was Pei Lianmu's personal servant Qingbao, Qing Zhuo asked suspiciously, "Qingbao, why are you here?" ”

"To Master Xi, Mrs. Xi is here, the young grandmother has just given birth to a daughter, and the young master asked me to come and report the good news to the Xi family." Keiho said with a smile.

Huo's mother was happy but also a little worried, "Don't you say that you were born in September?" How did it advance so much. ”

"Back to Mrs. Wen's words, Mrs. Wen said that the child is big, and it doesn't matter if she gives birth early, and the lord and wife of the family are very happy, saying that they are going to set up a long-life lamp for the little lady."

Xi's father was also comforted, "My in-laws are polite." Qingbao, you go back and tell Lian Mu Qingshu that we will go to see our granddaughter tomorrow. ”

Qingyi happily pulled Xi's mother, "Xiaoyang's mouth is really smart, it's really a sister to say that it's a sister." ”

Xinli also congratulated and said, "Uncle Xi, Aunt Xi, congratulations on getting your granddaughter." ”

Uncle Fu also led the servants and maids of the whole family to congratulate in unison, and Master Xi said yes again and again.

Pei's compound.

"Qingshu, thank you for your hard work for giving me such a lovely and beautiful daughter." Pei Lianmu looked at his tired wife in front of him and said.

Qingshu touched her daughter's immature face, "For her, I am willing." ”

"What about me? Why don't you want to be a husband if you have a daughter? ”

"As a father, why are you still so poor."

Pei Lianmu called the nurse to take the child down to feed, and gently twisted the quilt foot, "You have a good rest, I have already sent someone to tell my parents-in-law, you have to raise your spirits." ”

"Yes." After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep.

After the nurse finished feeding, she carried the child to the Yanshou Hall where the old lady of the Pei family was.

"Yo, my great-granddaughter, come and see it." It was Pei Lianmu's grandmother who spoke, and the Pei family had sons for several generations, and they had never had daughters, so they attached great importance to this baby girl for the first time in decades.

"You see, this face, this mouth, is the same as her mother, but the eyebrows and eyes are like Lian Mu." Pei Lianmu's mother looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes and said.

The old lady took the child, and happily praised the child for a good fortune, and he would be rich and noble in the future.

After a while, Pei Lianmu came in.

"Lian Mu, come and see your daughter, she looks beautiful." It was Mr. Pei's third aunt and wife who spoke, and they had been in the door for ten years and had nothing to do, so they were very flattering to Dafang on weekdays.

"Grandson greets grandma, greets mother." Pei Lianmu said as soon as he entered the door.

"Here, come here."

"Have you chosen a good name, this kid?"

"I thought about it before, the boy's name is Pei Deyao, and the girl's name is Pei Deran."

"Pei Deran, Ranran. My good great-granddaughter has a name. The old lady teased the child.

"The name is special, but it's fifteen today, this is another girl, I'm afraid it's ......" The second aunt who answered the call was the concubine of the official family, who gave birth to her eldest son many years ago, and has always wanted to bring down the big house and straighten it herself.

"Erniang, are you saying that my daughter's life is hard?" Pei Lianmu asked in a tough tone.

"I didn't mean that, it's just that old lady, look at this kid ......"

When the old lady heard this, her face sank, "This is the granddaughter of the long house of my Pei family, what are you, dare to speak like this." ”

The second aunt was too frightened to kneel on the ground, the old lady looked at her with a panicked face, and the previous anger slowly calmed down before she said, "A few years ago, the family was a little uneven, I asked the Taoist to do it, and it was calculated at that time, the long house must have a child born on the fifteenth, if it is a boy, the family will be defeated, if it is a girl, it will be different, two by two, not only rich and noble, but also the ancestors can protect it, so that the Pei family can go to the next level." ”

"Ruyi didn't know about it, so he didn't choose what to say, hoping that the old lady would forgive her sins." The second aunt who leaned over and kowtowed said.

The old lady ignored her and let her kneel on the ground.

looked at the child, and his face was kind, as if it was not her who spoke before.

"Lian Mu, tell Qingshu that she is a good child, she is a great hero of my family."

"My grandson knows."

The old lady called Mother He beside her again, "Inform me, today my Pei family has God's mercy, give the girl the name Ran, wait for her to be eighteen, change her name to Tiande, enter the family tree, and enter the ancestral hall." If I hear any more gossip, I will sell it. ”

"Yes."

Mrs. Pei was still a little worried about her granddaughter's future, after all, Ruyi Yimai became a man in one fell swoop in three years and became the eldest grandson.

Seeing the child sleeping soundly, I like it more and more.

The second aunt leaned over the ground, listened to the old lady's instructions, and gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart, why could she get such an honor, her youngest grandson Pei Deyou is obviously the eldest grandson, in this way, isn't it another dwarf?

With a smile on his face, he echoed everyone and said that the child's blessing was really good.

On the fourth day, Huo Mu took Qingyi to visit Qingshu, and also brought a lot of exquisite gadgets, such as drums, golden armbands, longevity locks, brocade quilts, everything.

Pei Lianmu led him to the bedroom, "Qingshu, mother-in-law and Qingyi came to see you." ”

Qingshu, who was drinking soup, looked up and saw her mother and sister, and somehow cried.

"You can't cry, you'll get sick in the confinement." Huo Mu hurriedly comforted him.

As soon as Qingyi came, she asked the child, "The nurse has taken it to feed, and she will bring it over later." ”

"So, sister, brother-in-law, is the little niece cute?"

"Cute, just like when you were a kid." Qingshu said with a smile.

Qingyi became interested when she heard it, "Then I have to take a good look at what I was like when I was a child." ”

While they were talking, the nurse came in with the baby in her arms.

Qingyi didn't know how to hug it, and she didn't dare to reach out to pick it up, but the nurse gave the child to Huo's mother at Pei Lianmu's signal, the child was born only a day, and he was still asleep.

Pei Lianmu naturally knew that the two of them had something to say, so he took Qingyi out with an excuse to leave space for them.

Huo's mother saw that her daughter was in good spirits, except for being a little tired, she was recovering well, so she expressed her worries, "Qingshu, the child was born fifteen and is a girl, what do the elders in the family say?" ”

Qingshu told Huo's mother everything that happened yesterday, "Mother, don't worry, now Ran Ran is very popular with the old lady, and she has to see it every day before she sleeps peacefully." ”

"With the old lady in town, naturally I am not afraid, but you should also be careful about the details of the side branches at home, after all, your current scenery is proud of many people."

"Mother rest assured, Qingshu is surrounded by old people brought from home, and no matter how big or small, they have to pass their hands and eyes."

"Well, this is the peace charm I asked for for in Taili Temple the day before yesterday, you can put it close to her." After speaking, he handed over a purse with fine embroidery.

"Thank you, Mother."

In another room, Qingyi was playing with Ran Ran.

"She looks so beautiful, she really looks like the third sister, and she will definitely be a big beauty in the future."

"It's just like your third sister, not like your brother-in-law?"

"Like like like, can it not be?"

Just as he was saying that he was happy, Agui from the family ran in, "Hello uncle, miss, someone from the house said that there was something, and the master asked you and your wife to go back quickly." ”

"What's the matter, what's the urgency, my mother is still talking to the third sister."

"It is said that the Chi family is from the family, and Master Chi is critically ill, so let Miss Chi go back quickly."

Qingyi was shocked in his heart, turned around and said to Pei Lianmu, "Brother-in-law, I should have stayed a little longer, but now I ......"

"Don't worry, Qingshu has already given birth, there is something at home, you can go back quickly, I will let the driver send you, the car is always faster than the horse." If Qingzhuo wants to go with him, take the car, quickly. ”

"Good. Then I'll go to my mother. ”

After finishing speaking, he ran towards Qingshu's room, Huo's mother heard about it, and hurriedly explained a few words, and then rushed back to the Xi house with Qingyi in a car.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he saw that Xinli's eyes were swollen from crying, and Qingzhuo on the side kept comforting, and when he saw his mother and Qingyi coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation.

"As soon as you left for a while, someone from the Chi family came to Xinli with a letter, and her mother only said a few words, just saying that Uncle Chi was critically ill, and the second room of the family had made a lot of trouble for the division of property, and she also said that she would marry Xinli to the richest man in Sansu Town to pay off her debts, so Aunt Chi threatened her not to go home, otherwise she would go with Uncle Chi."

Qingyi hurriedly went to comfort the heartbroken Xinli, Huo's mother looked at Xi's father, he looked serious, his friend was seriously ill and even made such a family ugly, poor Xinli This child, is in a dilemma.

"Qingzhuo, are you sincere to Xinli?" Father Xi asked.

Qing Zhuo nodded with a firm look in his eyes, "Then you will get engaged, and then take Xinli back to Sansu and send Brother Chi on his last journey." ”

"Engaged?" Qing Zhuo asked in surprise.

"What? You're not happy yet? ”

"Of course not, I'm afraid that Xinli thinks it's too hasty, and the marriage is a big deal."

Huo's mother asked Xinli, "Child, the matter is urgent." ”

Chi Xinli didn't know what to do, and after thinking about it, compared to the richest man in Sansu, at least Qingzhuo was chosen by himself, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, Xinli, then you hurry up and pack up, me and your Uncle Xi, no, it's time to call Dad, prepare it for you." Huo Mu explained.

Chi Xinli looked at the Xi family, this is the place where he will live for the rest of his life in the future, and it is important to prepare to go back as soon as possible.

Before dawn on the second day, there were people standing at the door of Xi's house, with six carriages and more than 20 small servants with the big red burden, Huo Mu explained to Qingzhuo, "You and Xinli take the car, hurry up." As for the dowry, I have already instructed Ah Gui, and it will arrive two days late. ”

pulled Chi Xinli over again, and comforted softly, "Xinli, birth, old age, sickness and death are all ways for people to go, don't mind too much, cherish the present, and live well, it is the right thing to do, I think your father also hopes so." ”

"I see, thank you...... Thank you, thank you, Dad. ”

Father Xi waved his hand, "Go quickly, take care of Xinli." ”

"Sister Xinli, with your brother with you, don't be afraid, we are all behind you to accompany you."

"Yes."

Xinli wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, got into the car, and Qingzhuo said, "Then let's go first." Take care. ”

"Go ahead, be careful on the road." Huo's mother confessed.

Qing Zhuo nodded solemnly, the car started, and quickly drove towards the reverse of Sansu, and soon disappeared.

"Agui, you guys follow along, go ahead." Father Xi said.

Ah Gui nodded, "Don't worry, master, at most one day late young master." ”

After speaking, he beckoned the groom and his party to walk along the wheel print.

"I hope God bless Uncle Chi to get better, and Sister Xinli and Brother can go on in peace and happiness." Qingyi prayed to the heavens.

Yan family tassel clothing workshop.

"In recent days, Luo'an Town has flowed into a lot of foreign fabrics, the quality is almost the same as ours, but the price is only half, the style is novel, and a lot of customers have been robbed, so this month's income is nearly sixty percent less than before, and the rest is basically the business set before, and there are only two new orders."

Yan Bowen listened to the shopkeeper's report and took a sip of tea, "What about other clothing shops?" ”

"It's the same as us, as soon as this foreign fabric comes out, everyone's business will not be good. If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be a loss, the owner, what should I do? ”

"Then raise the price." Walking in, Qingya's words were amazing.

When the shopkeeper saw that it was his wife, he stepped aside, Yan Bowen took the account book to Qingya, and swept it away, and most of the business was missing.

"Let's change the method, in the future, we will only order the best silk cotton and satin, and the rest of the fabric will be stored in the warehouse, and I will see how many goods he has to ship."

"Owner, this ......"

"Do as Grandma says."

"Yes." The shopkeeper picked up the ledger on the table and withdrew.

Qingya sat down, "It looks like I'm ready to make a move." ”

Yan Bowen shook Qingya's hand, "How can I be afraid of him in my tassel clothing shop?" ”

"I have already sent someone to tell my brother-in-law and Lian Mu so that they can also take precautions. It seems that the person who came is not good. Qingya said with some concern.

Yan Bowen pulled his wife aside and sat on his lap, "If you take me under the knife, you have to have the ruthlessness to eat me, and if you can't eat it, just wait to see how I fight back." ”

"Well, of course, I know what you're capable of. It's just that the old things of our family implicate you, and I always ......" Qingya stroked Yan Bowen's face.

Looking at the tenderness of his usually shrewd wife at this time, Yan Bowen was very happy that this softness was only for himself, and said softly, "We are a family. ”

"I know."
