Chapter 92: The Xie Family Arrives
"Third child, what do you think?"
Because of Yun Yao's words, Qi Gu finally calmed down, and she looked at the copper lock and asked.
Tong Suo stood aside and said in a sullen voice: "I admire General Xie's family, and if I am willing to marry the only seedling of their family, I have to find a good in-law for my second sister." ”
Yun Yao gave a thumbs up to the copper lock: "The third sister is really shrewd, what should I say, well, great wisdom provokes foolishness." ”
"The wisdom of the fart is foolish, she is dead-eyed." Qi Gu's slap on Qi Tongsuo's body: "Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking, hurry up, pack up and go to your eldest sister's house to help." ”
Qi Tongsuo hurriedly agreed, and followed Yinzhu to Zhou's house.
On this day, the Zhou family had nothing to do, and his family had no relatives and friends, with the preparations of the previous two days, there were not many people to mourn today, so it was much more deserted.
Qi Jinzhi discussed with Zhou Hongwen that the second elder would be buried on the fifth day, and then the family would be filial piety with peace of mind.
It turned out that Qi Jinzhi also planned to ask Zhou Hongwen to take the imperial examination, but this filial piety could only be moved, although it was a pity, but there was no way.
In the middle of the morning, there were only one or two people who came to mourn, and the family was very idle, so Qi Jinzhi asked Shuying and Xiuying to straighten out the clothes that the two elders often wear, and the commonly used things were also prepared, waiting for the funeral to be put in the coffin as funeral items when the day after tomorrow was buried.
Zhou Hongwen went out and asked again, and when he came back, he asked Jin Zhi to change some copper coins for backup, which was said to be thrown into the coffin, and Qi Jinzhi went to change them without saying a word.
Yinzhu saw that Zhou Shuying was much stronger than yesterday, not only did she not cry very much. can also help Jin Zhi do something, and he eats a lot when he eats, knowing that she wants to open it, he also breathes a sigh of relief for Jin Zhi.
After all, the second elder of the Zhou family has just died, and if Zhou Shuying has another accident, Qi Jinzhi will have 10,000 mouths on his body and can't tell.
After a day of helping in Zhou's house, when it was almost evening, Yinzhu said goodbye to Jin Zhi, and Jin Zhi sent a few words out of the house, telling a few girls that tomorrow should be more free than today, so they don't have to come over. Wait until the day after tomorrow when the funeral comes.
Qi Yinzhu agreed. Drove a few girls into the ox cart, and this time she drove the ox cart home.
Qi Jinzhi sent Yinzhu to drive away, there was a little reluctance in his eyes, and he didn't know when Zhou Hongwen was standing behind her. He said with great emotion: "A few sisters have helped us a lot. After burying my father and mother, we should go to my father-in-law's house to thank you. ”
Jin Zhi nodded: "It should be." Wait a few days, let's go to Qijiazhuang to take a look at the first seven graves of my father and mother. ”
When the couple went back, they discussed how to entertain relatives and friends during the burial and how many banquets to set up. What kind of banquet to make, Qi Jinzhi calculated whether the remaining money in his hand was enough, and thought that after a few days of rest, he would have to go to the mountains to pick some medicine to sell, or get some good flowers.
Not to mention how Qi Jinzhi calculated his small life, it was said that Qi Gu's told Qi Laoniu about the Xie family's invitation to the matchmaker to propose marriage, Qi Laoniu squatted on the ground and was silent for a long time, and after thinking about it for a long time, he got up and said a word: "Qi Dafei is not a couple." ”
Qi Gu understood that Qi Laoniu was not happy with this marriage.
Although she thinks that the Xie family is a good family, and Qi Tongsuo can marry the Xie family, it is a great virtue who has cultivated for eight lifetimes, except for the Xie family, with Qi Tongsuo's figure and appearance, I am afraid that she will not be able to find a good family, but Qi Gu has always been willing to listen to Qi Laoniu, since Qi Laoniu said that it is not suitable, then she will not say anything anymore.
The rest of the Qi family didn't think much about it, even Qi Tongsuo only thought it was a joke of the Xie family, and no one thought that the Xie family would marry Qi Tongsuo with great sincerity.
It's just that many of the things that no one thinks about are true.
Only one day later, on the day of the burial of the second elder of the Zhou family, the old lady of the Xie family came to the door with Xie Xiaoye early in the morning.
The Qi family had just had breakfast, and the courtyard door had not yet opened, so they listened to the sound of slapping on the door, Qi Baobox trotted all the way to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, they saw an old lady with gray hair, wearing an autumn-colored dress, dressed very simply, but very majestic, standing at the door.
The old lady was followed by a tall, handsome and very young man in a royal blue gown, who looked very young.
"This is Qi Lao Niu's family, right?" The old lady asked in a deep voice, and her voice was quite good.
Qi Baobox smiled and nodded: "Are you always?" ”
"Girl, let's talk again after calling the old man in?" The old lady laughed: "The old body is very thirsty, can you ask for two mouthfuls of water to drink first." ”
"Cheng, Cheng, you come in first." Qi Baobox responded sharply, helped the old lady into the door, and saw that the old lady and the young man were followed by two girls and two attendants, in addition, there was a carriage of green oilcloth, and there were two horses pulling the carriage, which looked like a divine horse.
As soon as he saw this posture, Qi Baobox knew that this old lady must be from a rich family.
You must know that although the Great Zhou Dynasty is rich in land and resources, both the court and the people are quite rich, but the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the Central Plains, there is no place to raise horses, and the court has prepared some horses for the cavalry, that is, few rich families in Chang'an City can afford to use carriages, this old lady first got two horses to drive, then the family is not only rich, there must be a lot of power.
The old lady and the boy entered the door, and the first two girls followed.
Qi Baobox led these four talents to walk in the courtyard for a short time, and Qi Gu came out with Yun Yao.
Qi Gu looked at the old lady and asked in surprise, "Are you always?" Can I help you? ”
The old lady smiled: "You are the wife of the Qi family, you are really hard to find, we left in the middle of the night, and we have not come here until now." ”
She walked a few steps and stood under the corridor, and smiled very kindly at Qi Gu's family: "Our family is in Chang'an, my mother's surname is Feng, and my mother-in-law's surname is Xie. ”
"You, you ......"
No one thought that this old lady turned out to be the old lady Xie of the Xie family who had lived for four dynasties and was now over eighty years old, and as soon as the Qi Gu family heard the name of the protector of the country. The whole person was excited: "You, why did you come in person, oops, hurry up and sit in the house, sit in the house." ”
Led Mrs. Xie into the house, Qi Gu shouted again: "Baozhu, Baozhu, hurry up and make tea......"
Qi Gu's whole person didn't know how to get better, Yun Yao was more sensible, she smiled and went over to greet Old Madam Xie: "You came so early. Ready for breakfast? ”
She asked. Before Old Madam Xie could speak, the young man sitting next to Old Madam Xie said in a muffled voice: "It's useless, I'm hungry." ”
As soon as the boy finished speaking, his stomach growled. The young man's embarrassed face was swollen red. It is even more delicate and pitiful and cute.
Old Madam Xie smiled at Yun Yao: "This is my grandson." He's an honest guy, so don't be surprised if you have anything to say. ”
"Where. Where, let Sun have a good temperament and be straightforward. Yun Yao hurriedly praised it, and then confessed that she went out to find Qi Baozhu and Qi Baohua and asked them to help prepare some meals.
Qi Gu also came back to his senses at this time, and hurried back to the house and brought two plates of snacks to the young man: "You are, it's the young master of the Xie family, let's eat something first." ”
Qi Gu's face the Xie family, they didn't know where to put their hands, and the rest of the Qi family were like this, hurrying up one by one to get good things to entertain others.
It's not that the Qi family is greedy for power, and when they see that the Xie family is powerful and powerful, they rush to the knot, in fact, there are not many people in the Great Zhou Dynasty who are disrespectful to the Xie family, but wherever Mrs. Xie goes, she will get this kind of treatment.
"Don't be busy." Xiao Ye Xie got up and stopped Qi Gu's family: "We just sit down, but we have asked you to be busy like this, we should not be happy to go." ”
"Okay, okay, don't be busy, Master Xie hurry up and sit down." Qi Gu's smiling eyes narrowed: "As soon as the people of our Zhenting Mansion talk about the Protector of the Kingdom, who doesn't admire it, I really didn't think that I would be able to see the living old Xie family in this life." ”
Yun Yao had just entered the house when she heard Qi Gu say such things, she hurried to give Qi Gu a look, but unfortunately Qi Gu was so happy that she didn't pay attention to Yun Yao at all.
"What do you call him, Master Xie." Old Madam Xie smiled, and the whole person was kind, and she spoke to Qi Gu's like a normal gossip: "What kind of master can he be, you are an elder, just call him Dingguo." ”
It turned out that this Xie Xiaoye's name was Xie Dingguo, Yun Yao couldn't help but think that the brother he didn't have in front of him wouldn't be called Anbang.
It's just that she only said this once in her heart, and she never said it.
"How is this good?" Qi Gu was a little at a loss: "How can I ......?"
"Auntie just call me by name." However, Xie Dingguo smiled generously at the Gu family: "You are an elder, you should call me by my name." ”
Old Madam Xie also smiled: "Exactly." ”
"That's it, I'll be called by name from now on." Qi Gu looked at Xie Dingguo and smiled: "Speaking of which, Dingguo, this kid is really handsome, and he looks small, how old is he?" ”
Xie Dingguo smiled: "I'm twenty years old, but I'm not small, but I have a baby face and I look a little smaller." ”
"Twenty." Qi Gu exclaimed: "It's really not like it, it's really small, my three girls are as big as you, and they look much older than you." ”
As soon as Qi Gu mentioned Qi Tongshuo, two blushes appeared on Xie Dingguo's face, and he was a little ashamed: "The third girl of Qi doesn't look old, I look at it, it looks good." ”
Qi Gu looked at Xie Dingguo like this, and the whole person was not good.
She knows her own family affairs, but it is really not good for the three girls in her family, she really can't understand Xie Dingguo, who has talents and talents, and family wealth, I don't know how many young people who are worried about the young girl Jade are so unsightly.
Qi Gu was thinking about it, Qi Lao Niu came in from outside, and first greeted Mrs. Xie before sitting aside.
Mrs. Xie saw that the Qi family and the husband and wife were here, so she smiled and said: "I can't hide it, I came here today because I have something to discuss with you, that is, my family Dingguo, this child fell in love with your three girls a few days ago, go back and tell me that your three girls are good, I am really happy, I immediately invited the official media to propose marriage, Xu is the official media did not explain the situation, but let you misunderstand, no, today I brought Dingguo over, just to let you see this bastard boy, if you think it's okay, I beg you to marry Ling Ai to this bastard. ”
Old Madam Xie said one bastard at a time, but Qi Laoniu and Qi Gu couldn't help it. (To be continued.) )
