Chapter 290: Stepdaughter's Wrath (2)
Qi Yan couldn't help but sigh after receiving the plot, and the man playing the piano in front of him stopped, looked back at her, looked indifferent, and did not smile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info This man looks handsome and unparalleled, not like red makeup but better than red makeup, plus he has an outstanding temperament, which makes people can't take their eyes off it at a glance, but he looks a little cold, so that Qi Yan can feel the cold on his body a few steps away.
The man's name was Xu Junning, and he was a pianist. Xu Junning is very famous in the capital, in addition to his superb piano skills, he is also a very good person, but he has no intention of taking the imperial examination, otherwise it is simple to want to be an official. However, many dignitaries and nobles in the capital praised him, so many people were willing to carry him but he refused, and he was like a hermit living in the city, wandering around with a piano.
At the beginning of this year, an adult hired Xu Junning to teach his child piano skills, Xu Junning did not want to go to the adult's house, so he taught the piano art in the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, so in addition to the children of the adult's family, the people who were good friends with the adult also sent the children to study, including Luo Qiyan and Xu Yao. This Xu Junning is an unfathomable character, even Luo Qiyan, who was a little arrogant in his previous life, was very fond of him, but her admiration could not be expressed until she died, so in this life, in addition to taking revenge on those people, she also hopes to fly with Xu Junning.
This makes Qi Yan a little distressed, Xu Junning has an indifferent personality and rejects people thousands of miles away, he is simply a living iceberg, although he is perfect in all aspects, but such a man, it is not easy to conquer him.
"Sister, are you finally awake?" Luo Minying walked over with a smile, took Qi Yan's arm, and said, "Let's go back quickly, Mama will be punished if it's too late!" ”
Qi Yan looked at the smile on Luo Minying's face and knew why the original owner wanted to protect her so much, the joy in her eyes was real, and the smile on her face was also real, but this was what made Qi Yan feel even more disgusted, the two sisters who obviously had such a good relationship, but she ruined her sister for a man.
There is also a girl next to Luo Minying, it is Xu Liniang's daughter Xu Yao, Xu Yao looked at Qi Yan's eyes with a trace of hatred, and hurriedly looked away when she found Qi Yan looking at herself, but Qi Yan still felt the resentment in her eyes. It stands to reason that the original owner has nothing to do with her, and I don't know why she hates her so much.
Qi Yan rubbed his eyes, and then said, "I was really tired just now, so I took a nap for a while, let you wait for a long time, let's go back!" ”
"Hmm." The three of them came to Xu Junning together, said goodbye to him, and then took a carriage back to the city together. It's not very far from here to Luo's house, the journey is less than half an hour, because the Xu family and the Luo family live closely, so Xu Yao usually goes back with the two sisters.
"Oh, what should I do, it's definitely too late to go back today, and Mama is going to punish us again." Luo Minying said with some concern.
Qi Yan learned from the original owner and comforted: "Raising grandma is also for our good, but it is just copying books and making more embroidery, there is no big deal." ”
"But sister, I'm not as good at writing as you are, and I'm not as good at embroidery, and if I can't pass the books I copy and the things I make, I might have to redo them......"
"So, you should study hard and don't be lazy."
"Antique." Xu Yao on the side muttered, and then saw that the two sisters were looking at her, so she said, "Your practices are too old-fashioned, aren't you, just a grandmother, do you need to be afraid of her?" Also, what are you doing with so much useless learning, and are you stupid to waste so much time? ”
"However, if we don't do it, Mama will hit our palms, and it hurts." Luo Minying said.
"So, you might as well learn some kung fu, if she dares to beat you, you can beat her, that kind of old witch has beaten a few times, my previous upbringing was like this, but remember those things to bribe her after the fight, otherwise it would not be a good thing for her to go to your father to complain." Xu Yao said.
Luo Minying looked at Xu Yao very much admiration, if Luo Qiyan was on weekdays, she would definitely have been unable to help but educate Luo Minying, she wouldn't care what others thought, but her sister She felt that there was no housemother at home, and she still had compulsory education for her, but now that Luo Qiyan was gone, Qiyan naturally wouldn't care about this matter, so he just closed his eyes in silence and recuperated.
When they returned to the house, they still missed the time, and the nurturing grandmother punished them for copying the book, and asked them to hand over an embroidery within two days. Although this grandmother is very strict, but she is a very well-informed person, the two sisters were a little afraid before, but she also respected their two masters while teaching them, which made the original owner appreciate it very much, so she was also willing to be taught by her, and she really learned a lot of things over the years. At least in the capital, when Luo Qiyan's name is said, no one can praise it.
It is indeed not difficult for the original owner to write and embroider, but it is a big task for Luo Minying, who has always been lazy, so she and Qiyan have been soaking for a long time, hoping that she can help her receive her own punishment, and even said that she was punished because of Qiyan. But as far as Qi Yan knew, after class at that time, it was Luo Minying who wanted to go to the lake on the side to row a boat, so Luo Qiyan fell asleep while waiting for her, and the reason why she was so tired was because she stayed up late to help her complete the task assigned by her grandmother, but now Luo Minying blamed her for it. Although Luo Minying was a child with a temper tantrum when she said it, the blame in her words was still obvious, so Qi Yan refused her without hesitation.
Luo Minying left angrily, and early the next morning, Qi Yan heard that Luo Minying had injured her grandmother. In an official eunuch family like the Luo family, it is very serious for a woman in the boudoir to injure her mother, so Qi Yan and Xiao Chen have to take the initiative to solve this matter. However, Xiao Chen's family has always been a concubine on the table, so she will only cry and beg Luo's father for forgiveness, and then pull her daughter to beg Luo's father for mercy. Although Qi Yan knew that the most important thing now was to seal the mouth of his subordinates, and then punish Luo Minying, so that even if he accidentally spread it, he would not have the reputation of the Luo family, but this time Qi Yan was unwilling to do so. Anyway, as soon as Xu Liniang comes over, the rules of the Luo family will be disrupted, so there is no need for her to care so much now.
So Luo Minying was easily forgiven, and the beaten upbringing grandmother not only did not get an apology but was also kicked out of Luo's house, Qiyan saw that both of her faces were swollen, so she gave her a good ointment in private, and then gave her a sum of money, of course, not in the name of Luofu, but in her own name. That grandmother was the prince and princess who had raised the palace before, and her background was not small, if it wasn't for the face of the Chen family, she would not have come to the Luo family. However, after arriving at Luo's house, she was still very satisfied with Luo Qiyan, and now she felt very relieved to see her so good at behaving.
After sending away her nurturing grandmother, Luo Minying was very happy, and she didn't have to learn those cumbersome rules at all, which made her start to do whatever she wanted in the backyard. The original owner actually respects the grandmother very much in his heart, after all, she is indeed a good upbringing grandmother, and in Qi Yan's opinion, there is nothing wrong with talking about rules in such an era, and the way of housekeeping and self-cultivation that Mama talked about, Qi Yan feels that it is still very useful for women in this era.
After Mama left, Qi Yan did not change the original owner's study habits, but only spent part of his time cultivating the Spirit Source Method, after all, martial arts are in the body, and it is also a very important bargaining chip. While practicing the Lingyuan Mental Method, Xu Liniang's entry into the house was also put on the agenda, and the house gradually became busy, and even Qi Yan and Luo Minying were asked to stay at home to help. Because Luo's father plans to give Xu Liniang a special wedding, he wants to bring her to the house in style.
Generally, poetry and books will not be done in a big way, even if they want to do it more beautifully, they will not use too many red decorations, but Luo's father does not listen to other people's suggestions, the specifications of this wedding have exceeded the time when he married a wife, but this is a private matter of others, although there were people talking about it in his previous life, and even some people went to the emperor to impeach him, but the emperor praised Xu Liniang's true temperament for deserving such treatment, and even shortly after they got married, the emperor also gave Xu Liniang a decree. This edict is generally sealed because the husband has meritorious service to his family, and if he wants to seal it, he will first seal the wife of the main room, and then others, even if the Chen family is dead, it should also be posthumously sealed, and the concubine or the stepfamily cannot go beyond the main room. But the emperor ignored Gangchang, it can be seen that he has a deep personal relationship with Xu Liniang, no wonder he often summons Xu Liniang in the name of the queen.
In the previous life, the original owner personally persuaded him several times for the sake of Luo's father, just for fear that he would be impeached, but Luo's father was unmoved, and even blamed her for disrespecting Xu Liniang.
This time, because Qi Yan was very conscientious, Luo's father listened to her opinions many times, and even asked her to preside over the big and small affairs in the house, under Qi Yan's intention, the wedding was very luxurious, and because Qi Yan suggested a public banquet, the banquet outside the door occupied a street, and the common people could come to eat, so the grand occasion of the day soon spread throughout the capital.
Xu Liniang was out of the limelight and became the envy of all women. Among the bystanders, some people said that Luo's father was deeply affectionate, and he was willing to put in such a lot of effort to marry a widow, which was enough to show how good his relationship with Xu Liniang was. But at the same time, some people accused Luo's father of being too extravagant, so many people couldn't even eat, but he spent so much money to marry a woman.
Not only that, Qi Yan also deliberately used a few treasures in the wedding, these treasures happened to be similar to the time when the minister who promoted Luo's father to marry his wife, but they were better than them, so she dared to guarantee that Luo's father would offend the lady who was famous for his jealousy and spread all over the capital this time, but was born with a very noble background.
