Although he lived in Songhe Courtyard for a few days, Qi Changxin was still in poor spirits.

He sat crookedly in the Taishi chair, supporting his head with one hand, drowsy, and the green shadow had not faded now.

Hearing Shen's greeting voice, he suddenly perked up, and his slightly closed eyes widened suddenly.

The gloomy eyes looked at Shen's heartbeat, as if he had been bitten by a poisonous snake.

Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Ma Shi and said softly, "Mother-in-law, I have something I want to ask you for an opinion, in order not to disturb my father-in-law's rest, let's change places." ”

She didn't want to say anything in front of Qi Changxin.

"Cheng, why don't you go to your Begonia Garden." Ma said yes and got up to leave.

Shen agreed, but before she and Ma had taken a step, Qi Changxin said coldly, "If you don't dare to say anything in front of me, you want to hide in private and mutter, just say it here." ”

He stretched out his hand and tapped where Ma was sitting, and his tone and expression were very domineering.

The spirit is much better than the others.

It's like a fighting, spreading its wings and feathers, staring at blood-red eyes, wanting to fight with the Shen family.

Ma couldn't help frowning, but he didn't dare to refute him.

Shen frowned slightly, and said, "Father-in-law, I'm afraid this is not suitable." ”

"What's inappropriate, what can't you say to anyone unless you want to say something against me?" Qi Changxin retorted confidently.

"Father-in-law, I'm going to talk to my mother-in-law about women's thoughts, does my father-in-law think it's appropriate for you to listen?" Shen said with a cold face.

There was undisguised sarcasm in his tone.

Qi Changxin's face sank, and there was anger in his eyes. But he was afraid of something, so he had to hide it and didn't dare to send it.

And Shen said so, where did he still have the face to insist on listening.

Ma said. "Master Hou, please rest well, and the concubine will go back when she goes."

With that, she and Shen left the house.

Out of Songhe Courtyard, Ma asked Shen curiously, "Hui Niang, what are you looking for me?" ”

She could see that the Shen family was deliberately trying to avoid Qi Changxin.

"Alas, it's Zhan'er's business." Shen sighed.

"What's wrong with Zhan'er?" Ma asked hurriedly.

"Let's go inside and talk about it. It doesn't take a few words to make it clear. Shen replied.

Ma bowed his head slightly.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law soon went to Begonia Garden.

entered the east room, waited for Ma to sit down, and did not wait for her to ask. Shen said Qi Zhan's thoughts.

"What? Zhan'er actually wants to give up her studies to join the army? How does this work? After listening to Shen's words, Ma asked in surprise and instinctively objected.

I also advised Zhan'er not to do this, but he made up his mind. Insist on joining the army. And what he said was not entirely unreasonable, I don't dare to make up my own mind, I want to discuss it with you, mother-in-law, to see how this matter is handled more appropriately. Shen said.

"I don't agree, how can the sons of our Qi family go to the army to suffer those hardships, and San Lang was once the champion, his son didn't study to seek advancement, but ran to join the army. Isn't that a joke. Ma said solemnly.

The implication is that joining the army is not a move to seek advancement.

These words made Shen dissatisfied.

If she had hesitated about Qi Zhan's joining the army before, then now she had made up her mind.

Be sure to let Zhan'er join the army. Let the Qi family see that it is not only reading that is progressive.

Shen said, "Mother-in-law is right, Zhan'er's father is from a top background, and if he has no achievements in studying, he will be laughed at."

It's just that Zhan'er is seventeen years old this year, and he has achieved nothing in his studies, and now he has made it clear that he is not interested in reading, and if we force him to study, it will definitely backfire.

Our three-room people are thin, and we will have to rely on Zhan'er to support us in the future, according to his current temperament, it is really difficult. That's why I want him to go to the army and get some training......"

Ma Shi understood what Shen meant, frowned and asked, "Hui Niang, are you willing to let Zhan'er go to the army to suffer?" ”

"Alas, where do I want to see him suffer, but I have thought about it for two days, this may not be a good thing for him Zhan'er." Shen sighed.

Ma Shi looked at Shen seriously, and suddenly asked after a while, "Hui Niang, ...... you Wouldn't it be that you still want to reconcile with the third child, and take this opportunity to send Zhan'er to Yanguan, it will be more convenient for you to leave the house in the future, right? ”

Belch!

She hadn't really thought about it.

Shen looked at Ma Shi and was stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Mother-in-law is too worried, if I really have this idea, I won't say this to you directly, you can just find an excuse to let Zhan'er leave the house."

Mother-in-law, what you said last time is very reasonable, even if it is not for me, for the sake of Zhan'er and Miao'er, I have to suppress the thoughts of Heli.

Especially Zhan'er, he is a man who will stand up to the sky and the earth in the future, how can I take him back to the Shen family and let him live a life under the fence.

Alas, I am reluctant to let Zhan'er suffer, and I also hope that he will live a worry-free life, but I can't take care of him for a lifetime, he will start a family in the future, support a family, and give his children and grandchildren brocade and food, which has to rely on his own efforts, even if I can leave him gold and silver, he will always have a day to run out, I believe mother-in-law, you also hope that the children and grandchildren of the Qi family will prosper for generations......"

Ma was silent.

She had to admit that Shen had a point.

No matter how big the family business is, if it is not well managed, it will be squandered sooner or later, just like the Anning Hou Mansion that is going downhill.

According to Zhan'er's soft nature, let alone let the industry develop and grow, even if he just guards, he may not be able to keep it, and the final decline of many famous families is due to the weakness and incompetence and wanton squandering of his children and grandchildren.

But she couldn't nod her head lightly on this matter.

Don't talk about others, first of all, the third child will definitely not agree to Zhan'er to join the army, if I agree, I will invite him to complain at that time.

Ma Shi said to Shen that she had to go back and think about it, and she couldn't give an answer now.

Shen couldn't rush when he knew about this, and he didn't rush it.

It's just that Qi Zhan is in a hurry, and often runs to ask his mother when he can go to Yanguan.

After about four or five days, news suddenly reached the Anning Marquis's Mansion. said that Zizhu was seriously injured and died.

After hearing the news, everyone was in an uproar, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Shen.

And those maids who had thoughts about the Shen family were all frightened. Not only did he dispel those ghost ideas, but he tried to take a detour when he met the Shen family, for fear of accidentally provoking the Shen family and suffering a crime.

Of course, they also slandered the Shen family in their hearts for being too ruthless, and they actually beat Zizhu to death.

Everyone's awe of her, Shen naturally felt it, and also sensed the contempt for her.

It doesn't matter if others respect or disdain her. Or maybe it's fear, she doesn't feel at ease, just live herself.

The Bishui Pavilion is very lively at this time.

Qi Yuan, Qi Shu, Qi Yan and Qi Ting were invited by Furong. Come and taste her new snack.

The dim sum made by Fleur was different from the ingredients made by the Hou Cook, and she added flowers.

Not only were flowers added to the snacks, but there were also flowers that could be eaten directly, and she plucked the flowers. After a number of complicated processes, it is candied and determined.

Qi Yuan and the others love sweets. The snacks made by Fleur were very much to their taste, and several of them were very happy to eat them.

Even Tie Qiyan, who has never liked to talk, couldn't help but smile and praise the deliciousness.

This is not the first time they have come back to Bishui Pavilion, since Fleur confirmed their identity, they have come to talk about it every now and then, and give them some rare small objects.

They also really see her as an aunt.

"If you like to eat it, bring some back later, so that the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law can also taste it." Fleur said softly.

"That's right, auntie. Why didn't you invite the fifth sister to come? Qi Shu asked with a grin.

"I don't dare to ask for it." Fleur smiled bitterly and shook her head slightly.

"Oh, too. The third aunt's heart is really ruthless, and she actually beat Zizhu to death, let's stay away from Sanfang in the future. Qi Yuan said immediately.

The tone was full of disdain and contempt for the Shen family.

Qi Shu and Qi Ting followed behind, Qi Yan smiled slightly and did not nod.

Fleur said softly, "I'm here to say this, don't say it after you get out of this door, it's not good if you are heard by others, in fact, the third sister-in-law is still very capable, otherwise there is no way to teach such a capable Miao'er." ”

"Hmph, what kind of ability does she have, it's just a sharp mouth." Qi Yuan immediately retorted unconvinced.

"I see that the lord of Rong Zhao likes her very much, and I invited her to appreciate the lotus last time, and the Nine Princes also valued her very much, and last time I came to our house to stand up for her, we have to admit that she has the ability." Fleur said.

The expression on the beautiful face is calm and calm, the tone is soft and warm, and the tone sounds extraordinarily sincere, not like saying the opposite.

"Poof, silly aunt, the Nine Princes are clearly here for you." Qi Shu covered her smile.

Qi Yuan's face stiffened slightly, and she pursed her lips and didn't answer.

She will never forget Ji Mo's gentle and affectionate appearance when he smiled at her, and she hoped that he would always smile at her alone.

Furong stretched out her white and tender fingers, lightly tapped Qi Shu's forehead, and pouted, "Silly Shu'er, what nonsense are you talking about, I don't know the Nine Princes, how could he come for me?" ”

When he said this, his heart was like honey, sweet to the marrow.

Ji Mo's eyes were too hot when he looked at her that day, she could see the meaning, he liked her, and no man could be calm when he saw her like this.

It's just a pity that he left Beijing so quickly, and I don't know if he will remember her when he comes back.

Fleur is very confident in her appearance.

Qi Yan smiled at Furong and said, "My aunt looks like a fairy, which man is not moved when she sees it, the Nine Princes should have known their aunt early, so they found an excuse to come on the day they recognized their relatives, just to see their aunt's beauty, otherwise it would rain like a pouring rain that day, how could the Nine Princes come well." ”

After finishing speaking, she didn't forget to ask Qi Yuan for advice, "Fourth sister, do you think I have a point?" ”

"Yes, it makes sense, it makes sense." Qi Yuan smiled dryly and replied very reluctantly.

The corners of Qi Yan's lips curled slightly.

She is not blind, Qi Yuan is a little careful in her heart, she can see it thoroughly, and hopes that Qi Yuan will not have that impossible dream again.

A few people giggled and made a few more fuss about Fleur.

Furong blushed and sneered, "If you are beaten one by one, dare to beat me and make fun of me, by the way, Miao'er is so outstanding, the people who come to ask for marriage must step on the threshold of our Hou Mansion." ”

"Not really." Qi Yan shook her head slightly, and at the same time felt a little strange.

Although the fifth sister has been away from Beijing for many years and has only been back for a year, her reputation in Beijing is far better than that of their sisters.

It's a strange thing.

Not to mention that Qi Yan didn't know, even Qi Miao himself didn't know, there were indeed many people in Beijing who wanted to come to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, but when they were about to put it into action, they were persuaded not to move Qi Miao's mind.

"No, there is one." Qi Yuan said suddenly, his eyes flashing with a strange brilliance.

"Who? How did I not know? Qi Yan asked curiously.

Qi Shu and Qi Ting also looked at Qi Yuan, wondering who wanted to marry Qi Miao.

"Lianjia's continuous promotion." Qi Yuan raised his chin and replied a little proudly.

"Why is Lian Gongzi?" Qi Yan couldn't help frowning.

Although she doesn't go out much, she knows the names of the two extreme men in Beijing.

One is extremely outstanding and outstanding, this kind of praise is praised by everyone, and the other is a very bad bastard, who is disgusted by everyone, and Lian Sheng belongs to this latter type.

Not only did she know, but Qi Yuan and Qi Shu also knew that just because they knew who Lian Sheng was, Qi Yuan would laugh with embarrassment.

She thought about how capable you Qi Miao was, but it turned out that the people who came to ask for relatives were the indiscriminate goods of crooked melons and cracked dates, which shows that your Qi Miao is not a good thing in the eyes of others.

"Who is Gongzi Lian? Is he good or bad? Fleur blinked her pretty eyes lightly and asked suspiciously.

"Hmph, this Lian Gongzi is like the rat crossing the street, he is a character that everyone shouts and beats, aunt, do you say he is good or bad." The corners of Qi Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a sneer.

Fleur's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked in disbelief, "Since he is so unbearable, how dare he come to the door to propose marriage?" ”

Qi Yuan immediately became interested and told everyone everything he knew.

She heard Liu inadvertently mention this, and at that time she was in schadenfreude, and soon went to Qi Shu and them to talk about it, and then went to laugh at Qi Miao.

But the Liu clan warned at the time, saying that this matter should not be told to outsiders, let alone mentioned in front of Qi Miao, otherwise she would not be spared.

Qi Yuan had no choice but to suppress this matter.

Now that a long time has passed, she has brought it out as a joke, thinking that it is not a big deal.

"Mrs. Lian is really excessive, knowing that her son is so unbearable, she shouldn't mention it, this clearly doesn't put the third sister-in-law and Miao'er in her eyes, it is extremely disrespectful to our Hou Mansion." After listening to Qi Yuan's story, Furong couldn't help but feel angry.

Qi Yan also nodded yes, and then scolded a few words of Lian family.

A few people said a few more words, and then turned the topic to Qi Yuan, Furong asked her if there was a man in the picture, Qi Shu and a few people smiled and said yes, saying that the person's surname was Sun.

Qi Yuan immediately denied it with a red face, and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Qi Shu's waist.

Everyone made a mess, and laughter came out of the Bishui Pavilion from time to time.

Among them, Fleur's smile is the most delicate, and her eyes are full of brilliance.

Everyone didn't pay attention, and the green-clothed maid standing beside her with her head hanging down clenched her fists tightly, and a strange smile hooked into the corner of her mouth.
