Chapter 242: Something Happened
As night fell, the Anning Marquis Mansion seemed more lively than ever.
Only two mothers-in-law were left in each famous courtyard, and the rest went to Songhe Temple.
Everyone walked towards Songheyuan one after another, and the garden was full of figures, like rushing to a market.
It's just that their mood is not as happy as that of going to the market.
They didn't know what they were going to Songhe Courtyard for, but they knew that Qi Changxin wanted to give a lecture.
What could he say?
Everyone walked to the door of Songhe Courtyard with trepidation, and the fish rushed in.
The courtyard was as bright as day, Qi Changxin was sitting on the Taishi chair, Furong was standing beside him, and Ma was standing behind him with his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.
Look at his style is not inferior to the emperor.
After making sure that all the people were here, Qi Changxin got up slowly, looked around with his hands behind his back, and the crowd immediately calmed down.
He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Ben Hou summoned you here today to solemnly clarify one thing, since the moment Ben Hou decided to recognize Furong as a righteous daughter, Furong has been the young lady of our Anning Hou Mansion, and will always be the daughter of Ben Hou, your serious master, and your master for life."
In the future, if Ben Hou hears someone chewing his tongue in the back and saying bad things about Hibiscus, Ben Hou will pull out your teeth and cut off the root of your tongue, do you hear? ”
The last four words, he shouted and reprimanded.
"The slave (only) understood." A group of domestic servants hurriedly responded, for fear that backwardness would anger Qi Changxin.
Their respectful and humble expressions made Qi Changxin very satisfied, and he said again. "It's good to understand! Miss Rong Rong said that you have worked hard for the Hou Mansion for more than half a year, and tonight we specially prepared a banquet to treat you, and all the expenses of the banquet were paid by Miss Rong Rong. ”
"Thank you, Miss Rongrong." No need for him to say. The servants bowed down to Fleur again to thank her.
"You don't need to be so polite, it's just a little bit of my heart, and I hope you don't dislike the dishes that are not rich enough." Fleur humbly waved at everyone and said with a shy face.
Ma's eyes were as cold as ice.
Qi Miao held her mother's arm and calmly watched Qi Changxin and Furong perform and act.
Where did Furong get the silver, not all of it was given by Qi Changxin, and he took the silver from the Hou Mansion to her as a favor. Sure enough, I really love this 'daughter'.
However, since he loved Fleur so much, why was he willing to punish her like that day?
Although the punishment for Furong was because she instigated him to agree to the family affairs of the Lian family. But how strange this sounds.
You Qi Changxin is not a three- or two-year-old child, you are an assertive adult, if you have a firm position, how can Furong provoke in a few words.
You believe Fleur's words. It just shows that that's what you think in your heart. It's just that there's no excuse to implement, and Fleur is just a shield for you to find when you make a mistake.
So he punished Fleur a little inexplicably.
Qi Miao laughed in her heart.
The servants feasted in the side hall of the front yard, and after thanksgiving, they went to eat.
After they left, the banquet on the side of Songhein also began.
Starting from Qi Changxin, then to Ma's, Qi Zhengning..., Furong personally poured the wine cup in front of everyone with jade liquid in order.
Then she raised her glass and bowed solemnly to the crowd. With red eyes, she said, "Rong Rong first respects her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, and all her nephews and nieces. Before, because Rong Rong was young and ignorant, she caused a lot of trouble to everyone, and also caused a lot of misunderstandings, Rong Rong was very guilty in her heart, and today Rong Rong drank three cups in a row to apologize to everyone. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she drank the wine from her glass.
Ahem......
As soon as she drank the wine, she covered her mouth and coughed violently, as if she could not drink.
A delicate face flushed with coughing, and her brows were twisted together.
But Rao was so, and she poured wine into the wine cup in her own hand.
Qi Changxin was distressed when he saw it, so he waved his hand and said, "Rong Rong, we all understand your intentions, you don't know how to drink, one drink is enough, and the remaining two glasses are not used." ”
"Nope! Father, these two cups of Rong Rong must be drunk, otherwise it will not reflect Rong Rong's determination to apologize. Fleur shook her head seriously, and did not follow Qi Changxin's words and put down the wine glass.
As she spoke, she drank two more glasses in front of everyone.
After drinking these two cups, she coughed even more, almost vomiting her heart, liver and lungs.
Not only that, but she was also drunk, her steps were staggering, and she seemed to be unable to stand steadily.
Seeing this, Qi Changxin hurriedly asked the little maids to help her sit down, and said distressedly, "Rongrong, you stupid child, let you not drink your bias." ”
"Father, I'm fine, I can still drink." Fleur blushed and smiled and waved, saying something vaguely.
Qi Changxin wanted the maid to send her back to Bishui Pavilion to rest, but she insisted on eating with everyone, so he had to give up.
He was in high spirits tonight, and the Qi Zhengning brothers accompanied him to drink a few more cups.
After some staggering, the wine in the hall was full of aroma, Qi Changxin's father and son were slightly smoked, and even the Ma and Yang families drank two more glasses, and their faces became ruddy.
After eating, Ma saw that everyone was tired, so he asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.
"Master Hou, old lady, it's not good, something is wrong." But before everyone got up, Qi's mother suddenly shouted urgently outside the door.
As soon as the door curtain moved, Qi's mother hurriedly entered the house, with a frightened look on her face, and her steps staggered.
"Mother Qi, what's wrong?" Ma's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked with a solemn face.
She knew that Mother Qi had always been steady, and if it wasn't for a very important matter, Mother Qi wouldn't be so out of shape.
Everyone else also held their breath and cast their puzzled eyes on Qi's mother, thinking about what was going on.
"Old ...... Old lady, there is a thief in our house......" Mother Qi replied anxiously panting.
"Huh?"
The room was filled with gasps.
Qi Miao raised her eyebrows slightly, and subconsciously looked at her mother.
Shen was also casting his gaze at her.
When the eyes of the mother and daughter met, they understood what the other party meant, and the corners of their lips raised slightly, showing a faint smile.
Qi's mother probably told what happened, just now the big room, the second room, the third room and the fourth room all sent people to report that there were thieves in the yard.
As soon as her words fell, the house became chaotic, and the Liu, Yang, and Wu families hurriedly got up, and they didn't have time to say hello to the Ma family and Qi Changxin, so they rushed out.
There was a thief in the yard, but something was stolen?
They were so anxious that they wanted to fly back into the house.
Shen and Qi Miao naturally got up and said goodbye.
"How did you get into the thief?" Qi Changxin's complexion also became solemn.
"It's weird indeed." Ma also frowned.
She asked Mother Qi and Zixiang to take the maid and the maid to each house and courtyard to see what the situation was, and then decided whether to report to the official.
At the same time, he called the steward of the mansion and asked him to take the guards to investigate everywhere to see how the thieves entered the mansion.
After so many years, it was the first time that the Hou Mansion had encountered a thief, and this thief was quite bold, and he went to every courtyard.
After arranging, Ma fidgeted and waited for the news from each room to come. (To be continued.) )
