By April 8, Qi had passed the door. On April 9, Xu Tingyuan took the Qi family to Xu's house in Zhuangyuan Lane to serve tea. Xu Tingyuan didn't want the Qi family to be difficult in the future, although he had already torn his face with Mrs. Guo and the others, after coming out of Lanzhi Courtyard, he still took the Qi family to Mrs. Guo's Lin'an Hall.

When Mrs. Guo arrived, she was having breakfast, according to the rules, Qi and Xu Tingyuan could only wait on the side, and when Mrs. Guo finished her breakfast slowly, Qi took the tea to Mrs. Guo and saluted Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo was turning her head to talk to her maid, pretending not to see Qi's actions, and Qi was not annoyed, waiting in a proper manner.

Xu Tingyuan still felt sorry for Qi in the end, and saw that Qi's hands began to tremble, and he was about to speak, when he saw Mrs. Guo turn her head and look over.

Mrs. Guo asked lightly, "Has your mother been there?" ”

This was asked by the Qi family, and the Qi family thought that she was asking Princess Pingtai, so she nodded obediently and skillfully: "The concubine and the master just came from Lanzhi Courtyard." ”

Old Mrs. Guo frowned and said, "I'm asking you if Old Madam Qiao has been there?" ”

What Old Lady Joe? Qi subconsciously turned her head to look at Xu Tingyuan, she had never heard that there was an old lady surnamed Qiao in this mansion!

Xu Tingyuan never thought that Mrs. Guo would say such things at such a time, when did Aunt Qiao become an old lady? This is clearly to give Princess Pingtai no face in front of her new daughter-in-law!

Xu Tingyuan was a little impatient, and immediately said to Qi: "Auntie just had breakfast, and she may not be thirsty this time." You put the teacup next to you, and she'll drink it when she's thirsty. ”

Although the Qi family is a little unclear, Xu Tingyuan is her husband. Whatever he says, she has to do!

Xu Tingyuan saw that the Qi family really put the tea cup in the tray on the high table next to Mrs. Guo, and couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile to the Qi family: "According to the rules, we should also go to the ancestral house." Then he turned to Mrs. Guo and said, "Auntie has a lot of things to do here, so let's not bother for now." ”

Then he didn't wait for Mrs. Guo to speak. pulled Qi out of the door.

After leaving Lin'an Hall, Xu Tingyuan told Qi's family: "You will have less contact with Lin'an Hall in the future, let's just have contact with Lan Zhiyuan and the ancestral family." No one else can fault it. ”

Xu Tingyuan also figured it out at this time, since he was afraid that the Qi family would suffer a loss from Mrs. Guo, he asked the Qi family not to go to Mrs. Guo's side. The wife who married him with a good manner, how could he practice it for Mrs. Guo and others?

Arrived at the ancestral house. Xu Deng and Xu Zhou's attitude towards Qi was quite good. Because Xu Tingyuan was generous with his "thank you" last time, they were not stingy in rewarding the Qi family.

Unlike Mrs. Guo, who holds her own identity, Xu Deng did not look down on Qi's identity as a businessman, but felt that it was amazing that a woman could do what she did. It's just that now that he has married into the Xu family, he should marry and teach his children, and his previous life must be completely abandoned.

Fortunately, Qi had already planned this in his heart. The answer was quite satisfactory to Xu Deng and others.

even left Xu Tingyuan and Qi to have lunch in Songhe Hall before letting them go.

After Xu Tingyuan and Qi left. Xu Zhoushi suddenly said to Xu Deng's family: "I just asked the little maid who followed Qi's side, it was a real thing, and when she saw me asking, she said everything...... I heard that the eighth sister-in-law's side not only did not give Tingyuan's daughter-in-law a gift, but she didn't even drink tea. ”

Xu Deng frowned: "Listening to the words of the fifteen girls before, I felt that Tingyuan's room was a little contradictory to Xu Guo's, and now it seems that this Xu Guo's is too unacceptable, no wonder Tingyuan wants to move out alone!" ”

Xu Zhoushi nodded, and then hesitated a little, as if he was not sure whether to say the next words or not.

Xu Deng smiled: "There is no one else in this house, why are you so cautious?" ”

Xu Zhou thought about it, but still opened his mouth: "I heard that our eldest brother brought a noble concubine into the door a few years ago, and it was only for the friendship of the previous generation, and he didn't really like that noble concubine." Now that the niece of the noble concubine is married to Tingjin as the main room, Xu Guo's family did not say that the noble concubine was a flat wife, and asked the Qi family if he had gone to give her tea this morning. ”

When Xu Deng heard this, he frowned: "Is it also what Qi's maid told you?" ”

Xu Zhoushi nodded: "I think that maid is also loyal, let's find someone to inquire about this matter and find out what's going on, she will never tell this lie." ”

Xu Deng sneered: "It seems that this Qi clan is not a simple one. ”

Then he said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law's life in the Xu family in Ruyi Lane will not be easy." This Xu Guo's hand is inevitably too long! ”

Xu Zhoushi nodded: "Do you want to help a group of sisters-in-law?" "Her man is now refining the elixir in the Taoist temple, and he has not returned home for many years, and he refuses to see them, so many years, she is like a widow. Now thinking of Princess Pingtai, who has been really widowed for more than 20 years, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of sympathy.

Xu Deng pondered for a moment, and then shook his head: "It's hard to say, let's go to Lanzhi Courtyard tomorrow to visit my sister-in-law, and other things, let's talk about it later!" ”

Xu Zhou's family will not compete with her for the power to preside over the feed, and now that she has moved to Xijing City, the Xu family in Ruyi Lane is a branch of the same vein, and she must be able to speak. Coupled with Xu Guo's temperament, I don't think I will live in peace with her. Therefore, after seeing Mrs. Guo last time, Xu Deng had the heart to pinch Mrs. Guo.

It's just that I don't know where to start.

If Princess Pingtai, Xu Tingyuan and others asked her for help at this time, everything would be ready.

When Xu Tingyuan and Qi returned to Zhuangyuan Lane, Xu Qirong was taking Qiu Nong to move a few pots of purse peonies to the courtyard of the main house.

The purse peony was told by Qi and Xu Tingyuan last night when the candles were in the cave room. This morning, Xu Tingyuan mentioned it to Shen An's family. When Xu Tingyuan took the Qi family out to Ruyi Lane, Shen An's family told Xu Qirong about this. Xu Qirong thought about it, asked people to go to the flower market to buy a few good pots, and moved back.

Now that Qi has become her nominal mother, she should show favor a little.

Seeing this, Qi glanced at Xu Tingyuan with some gratitude, and then took Xu Qirong's hand with a distressed face, frowning slightly: "It's already so hot this day, how can you go and get these in person, look at the sweat on this end!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Ting said, "You talk, I'll go to the study to read." ”

Xu Qirong nodded, and was about to speak, when she heard Qi Shi already turn her head and order the little maid behind her: "Bing'er, go to the kitchen and let them stew some mung bean soup, send a bowl to the study, and send another bowl to Miss Fifteen." ”

Since Xu Jinping reordered everyone, in order not to make a mistake, everyone has called people according to the new order.

What Xu Qirong was going to say was to let the kitchen stew mung bean soup and send it to the study. Seeing that Qi Shi entered the role so quickly, although he felt a little melancholy, Xu Qirong still let go very generously.

Shen Anjia was busy beside him: "Madam, let Miss Bing'er rest, the old slave was about to go to the kitchen to see if the chicken soup stewed in the morning was dry, and he just ordered to go down." ”

Qi smiled and nodded to Shen An's family, and said, "Then it's troublesome Shen's mother." ”

Shen An's family is the original lady Shen's people, and the Qi family, as a stepfamily, respects Shen An's family in every way, which should also be. Therefore, Shen An's family was not so frightened, but only said that this was what she should do as a slave, and went down.

Qi Shi turned his head and whispered to Xu Qirong with persuasion: "You are still a little lady, how precious are these hands, these flower pots are very rough, what if your hands are rough or have wounds?" This kind of thing can't be done by yourself in the future. I know your intentions! ”

Xu Qirong smiled: "Naturally, I don't do it often, I just do it occasionally." ”

Qi Shi didn't get angry when he heard this, but said with a straight face: "It should be like this." ”

Only three days later, Qi personally went to the house on the other side of Dama Street and brought Yi Shuiman to Zhuangyuan Lane. Xu Tingyuan was even more grateful to Qi because of this.

Not only that, but the Qi family even personally arranged the "Cave Room Flower Candle" for Xu Tingyuan and Yi Shuiman, arranged a vacant side room, named it "On the Water Side", and allocated Yi Shuiman a maid to serve. For several days, Qi persuaded Xu Ting to stay "on the water side".

Xu Tingyuan was unassertive, and he had the heart to stay on Qi's side, but when Qi persuaded him like this, he had no choice but to go to Aunt Yi's side. When he was with Aunt Yi, Xu Tingyuan always said to Aunt Yi: "Qi is a good-hearted person, you have to respect her in the future." Now that you have become my concubine, you should also serve your mother as a concubine. ”

Although Yi Shuiman was a little unhappy in her heart, she was also grateful to Qi, so she agreed. After that, he really went to the Qi family as a concubine to settle the province in the morning and dusk. Qi persuaded her several times, but when he saw that she didn't listen, he let her do this.

I don't know what the Qi family said to the Shen An family, and the Shen An family personally ran to remind Xu Tingyuan that no matter what, the concubine could not be allowed to come out before the concubine. Xu Tingyuan was not ignorant, so he ordered to go down and prepare Shunzi soup for Aunt Yi.

After that, I don't know if it was for the sake of the heirs, or if I felt that I owed something to the Qi family, Xu Tingyuan stayed with the Qi family for more and more time. Aunt Yi not only did not get angry and make trouble, but said that she understood very much. At first, Qi persuaded Xu Ting to go to Aunt Yi every other day, and then it became once every five or six days. In the hearts of Xu Tingyuan and Aunt Yi, they felt that the Qi family was generous.

When the Qi family did this, Xu Qirong saw it in his eyes. In other words, Qi seems to have deliberately let Xu Qirong know about her methods, and always let her know a little more thoroughly than others. Xu Qirong pondered for a while, didn't intervene, didn't say anything, he was able to trap a man and make the back house peaceful, this is Qi's ability.

What's more, the Qi family has always been good to her.

Later, before Xu Qirong got married, Qi went to Xu Qirong's room and said a lot of things to her, and Xu Qirong knew that Qi began to teach her intentionally from this time. (To be continued......)
