294. 294. Who is going to be restless
294γ Who's going to be restless
This speed is not ordinarily fast, Qi Mingluan's first reaction after understanding it was to pull two mouthfuls of white rice ruthlessly, but chewing it in his mouth was more delicious than usual.
Yu'er, Yu'er, this name is really not domineering enough, this Yu Yihuan is really a wonderful flower of the Daewoo Dynasty, now look at the expression of the fourth brother Qi Shaoyuan, but you can see everything, it must be given something by Yu Yihuan, but in the grandmother and father, I always think that the fourth young master bullied the maids around him, so the fourth brother is pitiful.
Fourth brother, fourth brother, how old are you, is it good for a teenage child, the speed of growing up overnight is too fast, and now the happy event of the eldest young master of the Qi family is in the way, and then you have to hurry up to find a daughter-in-law for the fourth brother.
Alas, grandmother said that the fourth brother is like the virtue of the father, isn't it an insinuation that the father was with a room girl when he didn't marry a wife, let's make it clear, that is, the room girl was originally used to have sex with the young master, and the father's mistake was to make a child with the girl who shouldn't have a room first.
Calculating the time, Yu Yihuan's success is not long, it should not be so easy to get pregnant, and since this matter was known to her grandmother for the first time, it is estimated that Aunt Qingxi will always be asked to take backup measures.
The grandmother moved a step slower, and let the daughter-in-law enter the door as a three-year-old child's mother, if the Xu family wants to care, it can make the Qi family feel bad every minute.
On the other end, Qi Houru and Mu Tong, sandwiched Mrs. Qi in the middle, a few glasses of wine pushed back and forth, this relationship is more easy, Mu Tong called Qi Houru a virtuous brother, and Qi Houru had the courage to call Mu Tong a brother Mu.
Mu Shuping and Mu Jingping are good brothers, and they can only be good brothers, the father of Hou Ye on one side is busy clinking glasses and drinking with Master Qi, and the old Sanmu Jianping on the other side is even busier, chatting happily with Master Qi, and drinking more happily with Da Qiao, only the two of them are left, nothing is the same as them, it is better to take a stool and move to the table next door, there is much more empty over there.
However, when these two wooden sons spit bitter water on each other and complained, they inadvertently looked at the other table, but they were all accepted by people with hearts.
"Fifth brother, I heard from someone that the fourth brother was punished by his grandmother for kneeling, is it true? Also, is it true that the eldest brother is not the mother's biological son? Qi Mingyue held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask Qi Shaoguang.
"You dare to say that here? It doesn't matter whether the eldest brother is born to the mother or not, the important thing is that the eldest brother is the mother's son and the eldest son and grandson of the Qi family. Qi Shaoguang glared at Qi Mingyue, this sixth sister is as simple-minded as her Aunt Chun, and she will never think about it when she speaks, whether it means that she is simple-minded, or that she is stupid.
"My mother is pregnant, and my father has sent a message that he even exempts himself from setting up the province every morning and dusk, and he stays in the room all day, which is very boring." Qi Mingyue muttered loudly, now her status in the family is the lowest, the seventh sister is a concubine and has been favored by the family, and now there is a marquis who has become the county lord, and she has an aunt mother who was born in a silk village, and her future is bleak.
"Third sister." Seeing that the fifth brother was silent, Qi Mingyue turned to Qi Minglan to approach.
"Sixth sister, don't you usually like to eat this sweet soup the most, let's drink a bowl while it's hot." Qi Minglan's temperament is always so quiet and steady, and she abides by the rules in every move.
"Third sister, my brother will serve you a bowl of soup." In contrast, Qi Shaoguang is better to Qi Minglan now, except that the identity of the concubine cannot be changed, and the hand embroidery is now available in the circle of noblewomen in the capital. "Originally, I heard that the son of the Beihou family was given marriage by the emperor, but I didn't expect it to be the youngest third son."
"Hmm." Qi Minglan's answer couldn't be simpler.
"Fifth brother, haven't the eldest son and the second son been married yet?" Qi Mingyue came over again, just like she said, she stayed in the room every day, and Aunt Chun was not a person who knew how to handle things smoothly, so don't talk about what happened outside the Qi Mansion, even if it was something inside the Qi Mansion, she, the so-called Sixth Miss, was blind and deaf.
"As far as I know, no. is older than the eldest brother, and I don't know why I haven't been married. Although Qi Mingyue was asking, Qi Shaoguang could only answer, "When I went to the store to help, I heard that the eldest son is the prince of Beihou, who likes poetry and books like the eldest brother and is quite knowledgeable, and he is definitely a talented man, maybe there is no one who can match it." β
"Ahem." Qi Minglan seemed to be careless and took a sip of the soup and burned it, her willow eyebrows furrowed, she temporarily put down the soup bowl, and carefully wiped the soup from the corner of her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief.
"By the way, I have heard many people in the capital boast that the girl of the Qi family has first-class skills, but I don't know which daughter of the virtuous brother is it."
Attracted by the voice, Mu Tongshun brought up a new topic.
"Lan'er, come to Dad's place."
As soon as Qi Houru heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand and changed Qi Minglan in a loud voice. Qi Minglan was startled, but she quickly got up, lifted the corners of her skirt, and carefully took small steps, bowing her head slightly.
"Father, what is the matter with calling your daughter?" Standing behind Qi Houru, Qi Minglan replied a little cowardly, holding both hands around her waist, and never raised her head.
"Brother Mu, this is my third daughter, her name is Minglan, she has been working on embroidery since she was a child, I don't know what Brother Mu said is her?"
After a few glasses of wine, Qi Houru's face was a little flushed under the influence of alcohol, and the Xu family beside her was not as good as she could persuade before, and she herself had to face a lot of dishes that Mrs. Qi asked Qingxi to eat.
"Shuping, you seem to have found a pair of ...... Double-sided embroidery called Eight Immortals crossing the sea, isn't it? Mu Tong finally remembered that his son was still sitting next to him.
"Yes, look at the double-sided embroidery is extremely delicate, and I heard the shopkeeper in the store tell the story of the eight immortals crossing the sea, I think the meaning is good, so I originally planned to buy it as a birthday gift when my mother celebrates her birthday." Mu Shuping was very surprised, when he bought this embroidery, he only knew Mu Jingping who was with him, and he definitely wanted to be a surprise, how could he be known by his father.
"Ah, by the way, the shopkeeper seems to have mentioned it, and said that it was embroidered by the girl of the Qi family, and at that time the sons didn't know which Qi family it was, so they didn't remember it until now. Sure enough, it is not as thoughtful and flexible as his father. β
Mu Jingping was stunned by Mu Shuping's questioning eyes, he was just as surprised, there is really nothing in the world that can be hidden from Grandpa Hou, even if it is in Tuyu City, it is the same in the capital, but fortunately, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary on impulse.
"Less poor mouth. Third Miss, have you ever embroidered such a double-sided embroidery? Mu Tong gave each a roll of his eyes, and quickly changed into a pleasant face and asked Qi Minglan.
Mu Shuping and Mu Jingping once again sympathized with each other, since they stepped into the door of the Qi family, did their brother fall out of favor in front of Grandpa Hou.
"Yes, indeed." Qi Minglan replied succinctly, her voice soft but not pretentious.
"Oh? Could it be that there is only one pair of double-sided embroidery of eight immortals crossing the sea in the entire capital? There is more than one family surnamed Qi in the whole capital, right, the third lady has not seen the embroidery and said that she embroidered it herself? So sure? β
Mu Tong's questioning was not concealed at all, Old Madam Qi and Qi Houru also felt reasonable at first glance, they both looked at Qi Minglan, only Xu took Qi Minglan's hand and smiled at her.
"Back to the Hou Ye, Minglan embroidery skills may not be the best in the capital, but if the prince bought a pair of double-sided embroidery of the Eight Immortals across the sea, it must be from Minglan hand."
Qi Minglan's voice was still soft and weak, but her tone was very certain.
"Oh?" Mu Tong raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qi Minglan with a different eye, seeing that the age was about to reach Jixuan, what he said just now was just a tentative statement, he thought that he would see a little girl with a panicked and overwhelmed face, but now it was beyond his expectations.
The daughters of the Qi family, all of them are so unexpected.
"Hee-hee." Qi Mingluan laughed at this time, "Father-in-law and brothers-in-law, have you heard the story of the Eight Immortals?" β
"This ...... Or take the shopkeeper in the store said, I have never heard of any eight immortals before, while listening to the shopkeeper, I feel more and more that the people on the embroidery are all fresh......"
Mu Shuping was asked by Qi Mingluan, so he had to tell the truth, at that time, he and Mu Jingping were still the shopkeepers, and they could fool so much of the story in order to do business.
"Ahem." Mu Tong coughed heavily, and Mu Shuping closed his mouth again.
"That's it, the reason why the third sister embroidered that pair of eight immortals across the sea is because Miss Ben told the story of the eight immortals, this story is good."
As a person who travels through, one of the great skills that can make a fortune quickly is to be a writer, the ancients can't learn it, and there are a lot of imaginative myths and stories, and if the oriental culture is not foolish enough, it can also plagiarize the ancient Greece.
"The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is just a small story, if the father-in-law doesn't believe it, let the third sister take out the finished products in the room again, I remember that there is also a set of eight pictures of the immortals." Therefore, in terms of origin, even if there is a second person in the entire Daewoo Dynasty who can embroider a picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, it is still according to the third sister's pair of gourds.
"Hey, how could my father-in-law not believe it, of course he did!" Mu Tong hurriedly clarified his intentions, smiled at Qi Mingluan, narrowed his eyes, and then changed Yan SΓΉ's face and said to Mu Shuping, "Hide the embroidery and surprise your mother." He looked at Qi Minglan with a smile again, "Come on, Minglan girl, you have your skills to get such a gift for my wife, you must know that she loves to listen to stories the most, if you are willing to cut your love, the immortal picture that Xiao Mingluan said just now, or let me do it." β
The atmosphere at the main table was higher for a while, and Qi Mingyue was blushing when she saw that Beihou rewarded Qi Minglan with an ornament to bring with her.
Who was pretending to be high over there just now, and in a blink of an eye, he deliberately attracted the attention of Beihou and several sons, isn't it just embroidery, what's the big deal, if she also knows what the Eight Immortals, she can still embroider it.
