311. 311. The one who thought he was alive died
311γ He who thought he was alive died, but he who thought he was dead lived
Back to the embroidery building, Xiao Qiao was waiting in the courtyard for Qi Mingluan to come back, and returned to his wife that he was well, had a good appetite at lunch, ate more, and took a nap after taking a walk in the autumn water.
"I just saw that the frame of the Hou Ye had left, and the eldest young master seemed to have gone out with him." Taking the little master's wrist from Da Qiao's hand, Xiao Qiao was ready to help Qi Mingluan upstairs to take a nap as usual, as usual, she wouldn't ask what the master didn't say.
The days of serving Qi Mingluan are not long or short, although Xiao Qiao will always be pantothenic to what the master will do with his brother Da Qiao alone, but it is just that, since the master has cultivated her brother differently from her, so being able to use it for the master is the most valuable time for them as followers.
"These days, you watch a little more rain there." Qi Mingluan's words didn't say it too clearly, Xiao Qiao only knew about the matter between Yu Yihuan and the fourth young master Qi Shaoyuan, and he didn't know what happened to Ning Wangfu at all, if this news was true, it would come out sooner or later, and it was impossible to hide it, God knew that Yu Yihuan would do something in Qi's mansion.
"Yes, Little Joe knows." The old lady is rarely angry, and it has long been spread among the people of the Qi Mansion, Xiao Qiao doesn't want that Yu'er to make any more noise.
"I've been walking for too long, and my head hurts a little bit from the sun, so I went to the smoked house with some essential oils first. For dinner, remember to ask the small kitchen to send a cup of white fungus soup to your mother. Qi Mingluan shook his head, and his neck was a little stiff.
"Yes, then Xiao Qiao will first light a small soothing flower dew and smoke it, and then make the bed for the master." After blessing his body, Xiao Qiao went to Qi Mingluan's bedroom on the second floor to prepare.
"Pinch my neck for me, it's so sore." In the small courtyard, two leaves fell on the chaise longue that had been basking her in the sun, and Qi Mingluan didn't care, so she still sat down. "Your strength is lighter."
"Da Qiao has a number, the master can rest assured." A gust of wind blew, and the canopy on the top of the chaise longue made a rustling sound, Da Qiao stood behind Qi Mingluan, one hand lightly pressed against Qi Mingluan's back, and the other hand gently rubbed the shoulders on both sides of Qi Mingluan's neck. "What is the old lady and Aunt Qingxi talking about......"
"Ugh." Annoying things one after another, that's why the blood is not smooth and the neck is stiff, where is this the life of a rich lady who lives a carefree childhood. "What kind of liuyun is that, haven't you heard your father mention it?"
only asked Da Qiao if he had heard Qi Fu mention it, instead of asking with Qiushui, because when Liuyun, who gave birth to Qi Shaocheng, came out of Qi's mansion and what happened, Qiushui hadn't married his mother yet, and it was in vain to ask.
"I've never heard of it, I have never known that Aunt Qingxi is the oldest in the mansion, and although my father is the chief housekeeper of the Qi Mansion, he is respectful to her." The left shoulder and the right shoulder were rubbed five times each, and a total of ten sets of kneads were kneaded, and Da Qiao stopped the movements in his hand.
"You have heard what Grandmother said to Aunt Qingxi, and I guess Grandmother already knows what the purpose of Beihou approaching Qifu is, that Liuyun is the biological mother of the eldest brother, and the old lady's roommate who should have died in childbirth more than 20 years ago."
Just based on what Mu Tong said, heard the conversation between his grandmother and Qingxi, and his own guess, there is no direct evidence to prove this conclusion, but Qi Mingluan doesn't want to avoid anything, if it's fast, when the eldest brother comes back, it will be clear.
"This ...... About the matter of the eldest young master, our subordinates know very little, even if some people know in their hearts that the eldest young master is not the biological son of the lady, they will not ask more about who the biological mother is, this is not something that we subordinates should know. "What Da Qiao said is true, add up all the subordinates in the Qi Mansion, and know that the eldest young master is not Madame's biological son, it is estimated that one hand is enough, and Da Qiao himself relies on guessing, after all, the age is over there, and more people will not bother thinking about this at all, no matter how small the master's family is, it can overpower a subordinate.
What's more, in a large family, whether or not you are born and who gave birth to it is far more important than who you actually call your mother, as long as you call your wife a lifelong mother, that is the eldest son and grandson of the Qi family.
"My Beihou righteous father told me that the one who the Qi family thought was dead is now his wife, Mu Jianping's mother, who has jumped from a young master of the merchant family to Mrs. Hou. When I see her later, I will have to call her my stepmother. β
"You say, what will happen if the eldest brother finds out? Knowing that his biological mother is still alive and that he was seriously injured in addition to Qi Fu, what will happen to the eldest brother? β
Qi Mingluan didn't ask if those and the like didn't happen back then, it wasn't the key, somehow, he was very unsure of what the eldest brother would decide, and he was even more afraid that even if the eldest brother still returned to Qi's mansion to call Xu's mother, he would be left with an indelible mustard in his heart.
If Liuyun An stayed by his father's side safely, and raised himself from the girl in the room to be an aunt, then the identity of the eldest brother is only the eldest son of the Qi family at best, and it is unknown whether he will inherit the family property or test the fame under the premise that the main mother has a son-in-law, but these eldest brothers will not care, and they have never coveted the wealth of the Qi family in the name of the eldest son of the Xu family, compared to the cold gold and silver in his hand, love and righteousness are the things that occupy the eldest brother's heart.
Therefore, the eldest brother will be filial to the Xu family, and the fourth brother and himself are like biological brothers and sisters, introverted, and have always done his duty as the eldest son.
"IβI don't know." Da Qiao still told the truth, even if he faced Qi Mingluan's expectant eyes, he still couldn't say some unrealistic words of comfort, not to mention that he hadn't digested the news in his own mind.
Mu Jianping, the third son of Mu, is a half-brother with the eldest young master, and the little master also recognized Beihou as his father and became the county lord, and the entanglement between the Qi family and the Beihou Mansion sounds a little winding.
"One is the eldest son of the imperial merchant Qi family, and the other is the son of the Hou Ye's mansion, it seems that the identity in the back can be more compatible with Sister Haiyun." I was dazzled by the sunlight passing through the swaying canopy above my head, and I was talking a little confused. "Look at what I'm talking about, the eldest brother is going to marry Sister Haiyun in two months, one of them is willing not to become famous, and the other is willing to give up the identity of the county lord, and they will definitely be able to grow old with sincerity."
Da Qiao stood behind Qi Mingluan with a faint smile, he understood that what Qi Mingluan needed now was just to say the words that were piled up in his heart, so in addition to blocking the top of Qi Mingluan's head with his big hand to block the sun, Da Qiao was also very vigilant to pay attention to the movements near the courtyard.
"It's a big day here, and I'm dizzy from the sun, so Miss wants to go into the room to change clothes and rest?" Qi Mingluan was still muttering to himself without a head, but Da Qiao suddenly interrupted, and his tone was subdued.
"Huh?" Looking at Da Qiao with a puzzled expression, Qi Mingluan got a hint from Da Qiao's flashing eyes - there was someone nearby.
"The incense in the room is almost there, Miss Ben needs to sleep well." Having a hint, Qi Mingluan got up after Da Qiao's words and walked slowly to the second floor. "If my mother and grandmother have nothing to do, wake me up before dinner, by the way, the rabbit pen at the back hasn't been fed today, pick some good forage and feed it."
"Yes, Da Qiao will go." At the door of the room, Qi Mingluan casually asked Da Qiao to retreat first, but in fact, he asked Da Qiao to take a step back and pay attention to the movements around him.
"Have you prepared all the snacks, have you asked the small kitchen to send some to my mother?" In the bedroom, Xiao Qiao had already taken care of everything, incense, bed, and half-placed gauze tent, Qi Mingluan looked at it, and sent Xiao Qiao out, intending to change clothes and take a nap by himself. "Mother's body and diet should be extra careful, you and Qiushui should keep an eye on it more."
When Xiao Qiao left, Qi Mingluan did not lie down, but sat in front of the dresser, fiddling with a bunch of small jars in front of him at will, sitting quietly, quietly looking at himself in the bronze mirror, smelling the elegant fragrance in the air comfortably, and waiting quietly by the way, waiting for anyone to come in again from the back window.
"Squeak" softly, the window was really pushed open a crack, and as the window opened bigger and bigger, Qi Mingluan quickly saw who it was.
"Ginkgo? Why did you go through the window too? "Being reminded by Da Qiao that there are people, the first reaction in Qi Mingluan's mind was Mo Lan, like a conditioned reflex, and he never expected that it would be Ginkgo biloba who was discovered by Da Qiao and climbed her corner and turned over her window!
"This is the first time Ginkgo has come so quietly, why does the master say it?" Ginkgo stood neatly in the room, closed the window again, and there was not much faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but the first sentence was to ridicule Qi Mingluan.
"You're coming in broad daylight, but you have something to say." Qi Mingluan turned her face away and pretended to be very calm, yes, why did she say it, wasn't she still hurt by Molan's stinky boy, and just reacted when she calmed down, Ginkgo came over in person, maybe she was going to say that.
Mo Lan said that about the destruction of King Ning's mansion, Ginkgo will personally investigate, and when she gets the news, she will come to tell SΓΉ herself.
"Ginkgo biloba is here to tell the master, what Mo Gongzi said is indeed true." ridiculed the master to know how to stop in moderation, or to say that serious things are important, "It's a matter of importance, Ginkgo has to make some movement for Da Qiao to notice, so that he can get the opportunity to talk to the master alone." β
"Ning Wangfu, it's really ......" Listening again, she still couldn't stop the shock in her heart, Qi Mingluan hoped that Ginkgo would come to tell her that Ning Wangfu was safe and sound, after all, the people in Ning Wangfu were not irrelevant strangers to her, and she didn't know that the ending of Ning Wangfu had something to do with her. On the same day, the person who thought he was alive died, and the person who thought he was dead lived, is this a joke made by God.
"Yes, there is a dead silence in the mansion, as if it disappeared overnight, but I still found some traces of mud in the garden of King Ning's mansion, all of which are recent......" Ginkgo did not continue, after all, that scene was not suitable for a girl.
