Chapter 22: The Good Wife of the Lower Hall Wants to Turn Over (2)
The time for Qi Yan to enter the task should be after Xu Yitang went to Beijing to catch the exam, calculate the days, the imperial examination has ended at this time, and the list will be released soon. At this time, Xu Yitang was eating, drinking and having fun in the capital with a group of friends, listening to music and singing every day, and he remembered the old lady who was waiting at home and his wife who was pregnant with Liujia. According to the plot, Xu Yitang began to linger in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion at this time, and began to enter and exit the restaurant song shop in the name of drinking friends, in fact, at this time, Xu Yitang admired the Oiran Lan'er in the song and dance workshop very much, after all, Lan'er not only sang the song well, but also danced a must, and what was more valuable was that she could also chant poems and play against the piano, which made many readers willing to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
Lan'er was changed by Yao Ruolan after she entered the song and dance workshop, so Xu Yitang didn't expect that Lan'er, who was famous in the capital, would be the daughter he loved when he was young. Because of this, Xu Yitang later learned of Yao Ruolan's identity and felt that this was the will of God, which allowed the two to meet again, and the will of God gave him the opportunity to stay with his beloved woman for a lifetime. It's a pity that he didn't know that his first love had already recognized him, and she had even seen him when he first arrived in the capital, but at that time he was just a student rushing to take the exam, who knew if he could go to high school, so Yao Ruolan was not in a hurry to recognize him, but was secretly observing him, and secretly sent Qiu Bo to him intentionally or unintentionally, in order to win his favor. Of course, Yao Ruolan would not hang herself from a tree, so among the candidates who came to take the exam, she screened a few more suitable candidates, but in the end she chose Xu Yitang, after all, Xu Yitang is not only a flower explorer, but also has known her since childhood. When she was a child, she was the pearl of the prefect's palm, and Xu Yitang was just the son of a squire, so Xu Yitang was a little inferior when facing her, even if she was reduced to a dancer who made a living by performing arts, he would not look down on her like others, which was very important for her future planning.
Qi Yan couldn't help but sigh when she thought about the plot, this Yao Ruolan is so scheming, where is Liu Qiyan her opponent. Liu Qiyan has been three from four virtues since elementary school, and he has never thought that men can be obtained by stratagem. Thinking of this, Qi Yan remembered one more thing, in the previous life, Yao Ruolan seemed to be so powerful not only because she was smart, but also because there was a martial arts master by her side.
This martial arts master's name is Shi An, it is said that he is a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, this is also where Wen Qiyan can't compare to Yao Ruolan, if it's just IQ, Wen Qiyan is not necessarily worse than Yao Ruolan, from Wen Qiyan has found out the evidence that Yao Ruolan harmed her several times, but Yao Ruolan has Shi An by his side, he will help him solve it as long as there is a problem, but Wen Qiyan is only himself, although his mother can rely on it, but the Wen family is all scholars, and he can't do anything except reason with others.
Qi Yan analyzed these situations and decided to practice kung fu first, although I don't know how high that Shi An's martial arts are, but Qi Yan is still very sure of Lingyuan Fist, after all, this is not comparable to ordinary martial arts, plus the skill of being a killer in that life, Qi Yan believes that even if he directly faces Shang Shi'an, he will not have the power to fight back.
Wen Qiyan's physical qualifications are average, and she is pregnant, so Qi Yan didn't dare to use too much force, but he didn't expect that after practicing Lingyuan Boxing for a few days, Qi Yan found that his body began to change, and the body's demand for spiritual power suddenly became very large, as if two people were cultivating, Qi Yan guessed that it should be because the child in Wen Qiyan's belly was also absorbing spiritual power, fortunately, spiritual power is only good and not harmful, so Qi Yan is also relieved to practice boldly, as for martial arts, Qi Yan originally knew how to kill people, After practicing Lingyuan Boxing, all aspects of the body are much stronger, even if it is not as powerful as before, it should not be a problem to save your life.
More than half a month has passed, during this period, Qi Yan just went to ask Xu's mother every morning to say goodbye, and the rest of the time she hid in the room and practiced unremittingly, fortunately, because she was pregnant, Xu's mother only thought that she was raising her body and didn't embarrass her much, just said a few painless gossip behind her back, after all, her grandson is still very important.
Qi Yan counted the days, the list will be unveiled in half a month at most, and she has to leave for the capital. In the previous life, Wen Qiyan did not go to the capital at this time, because Xu Yitang said that she and Xu's mother would wait at home, and if he was hit, he would let someone bring the letter back, and they would go to the capital together. But Xu Yitang got along with Yao Ruolan after passing the exam, and he got drunk every day and fell into Gentle Township, where do you remember to write a letter back, of course, it may not be that you have forgotten, but that you don't want Wen Qiyan to disturb his good things at all. So that it dragged on for a long time, and when Wen Qiyan knew, her belly was already very big, and the original bad was the twins, and the pulse was not very stable, so Wen Qiyan didn't dare to take the risk of rushing, so she had to give birth at home and rest for a month before going to Beijing. Xu Yitang had expected this situation a long time ago, and this was also the result he wanted, during this time he was warm with Yao Ruolan every day, and when the good news that Wen Qiyan gave birth to twins came, Xu Yitang welcomed Yao Ruolan into the house in a sedan chair.
It is precisely because of Xu Yitang's first cut and then prelude that even Xu's mother, who was born in a fancy mood, is helpless, let alone Wen Qiyan, who is familiar with the female ring. This time, Qi Yan will not be so honest, she just wants to take Xu's mother to Beijing immediately, not only to let Xu's mother prevent him from taking a concubine, but also to spread the news that Yao Ruolan is still colliding with Xu Yitang in order to enter the door and that her husband is taking a concubine but hiding his wife.
When Qiyan went to discuss with Xu's mother, Xu's mother disagreed, but she didn't want to say that if she didn't pass the exam, Qiyan told her that Xu Yitang would definitely pass the exam, but if Xu's mother was not there when the list was announced, Xu's mother wouldn't be able to hear the words congratulating Xu Yitang. Mother Xu thought about it, and this was indeed the reason, so she immediately agreed to go to Beijing. Because I was ready to leave at any time, I almost packed my things. rented a carriage, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went on the road to the capital to find Xu Yitang.
The road is a little far, but because Qi Yan practiced Lingyuan Boxing, there was no uncomfortable feeling along the way, but Xu Mu was a little mentally weak, but Qi Yan had to take care of her. When she first arrived in the capital, Xu's mother yelled that she couldn't do it, so she had to go down to get her a pot of hot tea, but Qiyan didn't refuse, so she got out of the carriage directly. As soon as he got off the carriage, there were officers and soldiers who opened the way, saying that the champion Lang led many high school students to come, and when Xu Mu heard it, she immediately had her spirits, and hurriedly walked down from the carriage and asked who won the champion, although the champion was not Xu Yitang, but after hearing that Xu Yitang was Tanhualang, Xu's mother was still very happy, and hurriedly asked Qiyan to help her wait on the side, hoping to see her son immediately. When Qi Yan saw her like this, he knew that she was not uncomfortable at all, she was just pretending to be in the car. Because they even sent away the servants at home this time, there was no one to serve around, so Xu's mother was worried that she would be busy with many things when she first arrived in the capital, and her daughter-in-law was pregnant again, so she would have to do it when the time came, so she wanted to pretend to be unwell and be lazy.
Qi Yan didn't say anything, anyway, Xu Yitang won't be short of money to spend if he wins Tanhua, plus the silver he brought from his hometown, it is enough for them to buy a small courtyard and invite some more people, Xu Yitang lived in an inn in the previous life, which is also convenient for him to fool around. When Wen Qiyan and the others came, he didn't have much money left, Wen Qiyan used his private money to buy a small yard and did everything by himself in order to save some expenses, at that time, Xu's mother said that she was unwell after a long journey and slept in bed all day, and Yao Ruolan, who had already entered the door, was pregnant, so Wen Qiyan was the only one who was tired at that time.
When she cleaned up everything, Yao Ruolan didn't like it, and asked Xu Yitang to invite someone to come back and rearrange it, and even changed the furnishings again, and replaced each room with better furniture, but she didn't care about Wen Qiyan's room. Wen Qiyan didn't care, she wanted to live instead of wasting money, but she later learned that Xu Yitang's monthly salary at that time was given to Yao Ruolan, and her wife had been using her dowry to supplement the family.
There were more and more onlookers, and Qi Yan was about to walk away, but Mother Xu pulled her into the middle of the crowd. Qi Yan pointed to a flower building not far away and said to Xu's mother: "Mother, let's go over there and take a look, we can see it more clearly, maybe my husband can see us there, and you can also go there to rest." "That flower building is where Yao Ruolan is, and when the champion passes by, she will dance on it to congratulate them, that is, Yao Ruolan and Xu Yitang fell in love at a glance, how could Qi Yan not take a look at such a moment.
Mother Xu is eager to go to a better place, although she is a little distressed about the money, but she knows that it is also her daughter-in-law's money, so it doesn't matter. And she smiled from ear to ear at the thought that her son would pass by on horseback in a moment. Qi Yan took Xu Mu to the flower building, this flower building is not high, just a temporary stage, decorated with many flowers and ribbons around, it looks very open, there are many people standing on the side, but because it is a place of song and dance workshop, so people are not allowed to get too close, at this time there is a dancing girl standing in each of the four corners of the stage, and in the middle is a woman with a scarf on her face is stroking the qin.
