Qin Chunliu listened to Qi Xirui's words, and felt a little flustered for no reason.

"Chunliu, I recently discovered that you have changed a little, maybe the thoughts you have hidden in your heart have been suppressed, I don't see it." Qi Xirui looked directly at Qin Chunliu and said.

"You don't like your sister-in-law's family so much, seeing that they are getting better, and getting the attention of your mother, and knowing that Miss Fu and Tongzhijia can afford it, the thoughts you originally hidden in your heart can't help but pop up, isn't it?"

"I, I'm not." Qin Chunliu immediately shook his head and retorted.

"Actually, I don't understand, our husband and wife have both children and have a worry-free life, what are you not satisfied with, people will envy or envy others, that is, they are not satisfied with their current life." Qi Xirui saw blood for a while.

Qin Chunliu was stunned, because she couldn't refute it, the first thing she thought of was when she went out, and when people saw her in front of her, they called Second Mrs. Qi, but behind her back, they said that they were from merchants, and they also called Mrs. Shang; After seeing the wife of the official family, such a person rushed forward to perform, and all he opened and closed his mouth was full of admiration, and even the discussion behind his back was worthy of who was the wife of whom.

Qin Chunliu's expression, Qi Xirui saw it, and shook his head in disappointment, "Chunliu, I made it very clear when I married you, our Qi Mansion is a merchant, and I am not a piece of study material, so I don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation with me." ”

"You are the daughter of a talented showman, and it is common sense that you want to marry a scholar, so when I expressed my intentions, I also gave you the opportunity to choose, so do you regret it now, or do you dislike me for not being able to give you decency?"

"I, I'm not ......"

"And what do you think?" Qi Xirui sighed and said, "My eldest brother and I are siblings, and the eldest brother has mainly been in charge of the family business over the years, to be honest, although I have some brains in business, I am far inferior to the eldest brother, and half of the wealth that Qi Mansion can have today is from my father and grandfather, and the other half is mainly obtained by the eldest brother." ”

"We have no worries about food and clothing today, and we all rely on them, and the most thankful thing is the eldest brother, the eldest brother's love for the eldest sister-in-law for so many years I don't believe you haven't seen it in your eyes, you spend the money earned by the eldest brother, but you have to look down on his wife, you don't know where you got the confidence."

Qin Chunliu's face turned blue and white, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes, and Qi Xirui saw it all in his eyes.

"I know you're relying on your status as the daughter of your talent." Qi Xirui said helplessly, "Do you know how many talents there are in Shun'an Mansion?" In the future, the nephew of the sister-in-law may not only be a showman, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, ordinary people will stay in the line, let alone their own family. ”

"If you want to fight for a breath and want more decency, I can't give it to you, and you don't waste your mind on unnecessary places."

"If you have that energy, teach the children well, four children, but if you can stand out, you can be regarded as having a light on your face, okay, I have made it clear and understood, can you figure it out, I ...... Just think about it, I'll sleep in the front yard tonight, and I don't have to leave the door. After Qi Xirui finished speaking, he took the plate and left, went out of the yard, and ate the little bun that had not reached the ground.

When she tasted the filling, Qi Xirui looked at the rest of the three steamed buns that took up the ash, and she was reluctant in her heart, even if her heart was unbalanced, she shouldn't be angry with the food, she deserved not to taste good things.

Qi Xirui was amazed by the filling, and the other three buns were reluctant to throw away, so he tore some of the dirty skin, and then all went into his stomach, and when he finished eating, he thought that his four children had not eaten it, and felt guilty for a while, and went to the kitchen to ask about today's pastries.

Qi Jiuli didn't know the impact of the twelve quicksand bags, she was sweating, waving a spoon, making fragrant dishes one after another.

At three o'clock, Wei Minghe and Guo Huaixi made an appointment, got off the carriage at the mouth of the alley, and the two asked the servants to go back, and then they came back to pick them up at the hour, and then each carried the door-to-door gift to the house where they lived in Qi Jiuli.

"Knock knock-" Guo Huaixi knocked on the door.

Qi Shixiang ran to open the door, and saw the people outside greeting with a smile, "Sister Huaixi, Sister Minghe, come in and sit, you can eat lunch immediately." ”

Wei Minghe and Guo Huaixi entered the mansion, and the subordinates who were watching outside left, of course, they didn't all leave, and each of the two mansions left a small servant who knew how to work hard to guard outside.

"Wow, it smells so good." After Wei Minghe and Guo Huaixi entered the courtyard, they went directly to the kitchen, and then saw Qi Jiuli sweating like rain, working in the kitchen on such a hot day is actually the most tiring, seeing Qi Jiuli's appearance, Wei Minghe and Guo Huaixi suddenly regretted their decision to come to dinner today.

"Jiuli, are you okay?" Guo Huaixi directly took out a handkerchief to wipe Qi Jiuli's sweat, with a guilty look on his face.

Qi Jiuli looked at these two kind girls and smiled, "This is the work that our peasant family has to do every day, we are not tired at all, to be honest, I am very proud, and you will understand after you taste the food I cooked." ”

"You go to the hall and wait, this bowl of soup is ready, you can start eating, you go and take a look at the dishes first." Qi Jiuli glanced at Qi Shixiang, and the three of them walked out.

The last dish is fish head and fish ball tofu soup, Qi Jiuli served two bowls, the four of them were larger, and Qi Shan and Qi Shiyi had a smaller portion.

"What kind of dish is this, it should be very spicy at the look." Guo Huaixi looked at a large bowl with a lot of chili peppers and a thick layer of oil, and swallowed the saliva in his mouth, "But it's so fragrant and hooking." ”

"By the way, I just saw that Uncle Qi seems to be there, is it appropriate for us to go and say hello to him?" Wei Minghe looked at Qi Shixiang and asked.

"yes, yes." Qi Shixiang led the two to Qi Shan's house, his room was the only one with an outer room, which was originally shared by Qi Qizhu and Qi Basong, and the outer room allowed them to study, but now the two of them are not there, Qi Jiuli let Qi Shan live, and it is also convenient to meet guests.

Qi Shan was a little apprehensive, and instinctively got up when the three of them entered the door, and after the two of them bowed down to Qi Shan and greeted him, and called him "Uncle Qi", he nodded with a smile, and then gave Qi Jiuli a meeting gift prepared early in the morning, "Take it." ”

Wei Minghe and Guo Huaixi smiled and thanked them, and then went out.

Wei Minghe's impression of the Qi family is getting better and better, in fact, after seeing the tables and chairs in the hall, he has an idea in his heart, and now after looking at the meals placed in this outdoor room, he is even more sure, although the Qi family is a peasant family, in terms of hospitality, it is completely according to the habits of the guests, and the tables are divided between men and women.

Later, when the meal was served, Qi Shan had never been out of the house, Wei Minghe became more and more comfortable, Guo Huaixi was already familiar with them, and he had eaten at the same table all the way before, and asked Qi Shan and Qi Shiyi curiously why they didn't come to eat.
