"Shopkeeper Qi, who are these four?" Wu Yaozu asked with a smile.

Qi Dongrui didn't want Qi Qizhu and them to get involved, but Wu Yaozu asked, and he couldn't help but answer, "It's a nephew." ”

"It's a blessing for the shopkeeper Qi." Wu Yaozu smiled and said, "My nephews all look so good, and I want to come to Mrs. Qi even more." ”

Wu Yaozu's words successfully made the five of them frown, Qi Dongrui directly sank his face, this is very frivolous, but he is a businessman, and he can't be blamed for the imperial court officials, not to mention how aggrieved he is.

Qi Qizhu has seen Qi Dongrui a few times, and after talking, he can be regarded as understanding his character, at this time, seeing Qi Dongrui's expression of indignation, he did not refute this man, and he was curious about the identity of this man.

"Little uncle, let's go to Lord Tongzhi's house first, you are busy first." Qi Qizhu hugged Qi Dongrui with a fist, and gave Wu Yaozu as well, "This gentleman, your inner family shouldn't be talked about like this outside, although you are a friend of your little uncle, you still have to avoid it." ”

Although Qi Qizhu didn't like Wu Yaozu very much, he couldn't insult him on the spot, and he had to kindly call him Mr. to express his respect, but what should be said still had to be said, and he also took advantage of the situation to borrow the momentum of Guo Fu, which made Qi Qizhu realize the importance of power and position again, and he had to work harder.

inherited Guo Fu's love, and then he had the ability to repay it.

After Qi Qizhu finished speaking, he directly led Qi Jiuli and the three of them away, Wu Yaozu hadn't reacted yet, what was echoing in his mind now was the six words "Tongzhi's family".

"Shopkeeper Qi, does Mrs. Zun have relatives in the family of Master Tongzhi?" Wu Yaozu's eyes now looking at Qi Dongrui are a little different from the carelessness at the beginning, when he investigated the Qi house, he knew that the Qi family had no old lady, only the old lady of the Huo family, who had declined, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

And the two brothers in the family are not scholars, and the daughters-in-law they married are also very, very ordinary, if he remembers correctly, Qi Dongrui's daughter-in-law is still a mud leg from the township, I haven't heard that she is related to Guo Fu, is it a distant relative.

No, he remembered that Qi Dongrui's daughter-in-law was surnamed Qi, and the Guo family didn't have anyone with this surname, could it be a distant relative?

Qi Dongrui looked at Qi Qizhu's back, sighed in his heart for his keenness, and was grateful for his help.

"Nope." Qi Dongrui replied with a smile, "But my niece can talk to Miss Guo Jia, and the relationship is not bad, plus Qizhu and Basong just won the show yesterday, and the Wei Mansion and the Guo Mansion both sent people to give gifts, and they came to the door today to thank them." ”

Wu Yaozu was stunned, just now the two young people looked at the appearance of fourteen or fifteen years old, they were already Xiucai, thinking that he was only a Xiucai in the examination at the age of twenty-five, and it took nine years to raise people in the examination, and through various studies, he got a chance to become an official.

Wu Yaozu looked at Qi Dongrui's eyes a little more vigilant, the words of Xiucai in the examination must be true, this is something that he will know by asking, Qi Dongrui has no need to lie, but the relationship with Guo Fu, he will not easily believe it if he doesn't see it, but he can't help but pay attention to it, otherwise he will invisibly offend Lord Tongzhi, and his promotion will be useless.

"It's terrifying." Wu Yaozu said with a smile, "By the way, shopkeeper Qi, the official still has something to do today, let's have a chance to eat this meal next time, as for what you said, I know, I will let people investigate it when I go back." ”

Wu Yaozu left after speaking, and he didn't give a clear reply, but since he took the initiative to mention it, it seems that he has to wait to confirm the relationship between his family and Guo Fu.

Qi Dongrui waved at his back and said, "Thank you, Lord County." ”

Wu Yaozu left the wine shop and walked in the direction of Guofu, the speed was a little fast, and he also had the intention of catching up, and sure enough, after a while, he saw Qi Qizhu and the four people walking in front.

It didn't take long to arrive at Guo's mansion, and Wu Yaozu stopped from a distance, because he saw that the gate was just open, and Guo Huaishang, the master of Tongzhi, walked out in an official uniform.

Wu Yaozu looked carefully, Guo Huaishang had a smile on his face after seeing Qi Qizhu and the four of them, Qi Qizhu and the four of them saluted Guo Huaishang, and then Guo Huaishang patted Qi Qizhu on the shoulder very kindly.

Wu Yaozu saw Guo Huaishang talking to Qi Qizhu for a while, although he didn't hear what they were saying, it could be seen that Guo Huaishang liked the young man who had just spoken to him.

Wu Yaozu's heart was a little heavy, I was afraid that what Qi Dongrui said before was still modest, not just a good relationship, although Wu Yaozu didn't know much about Guo Huaishang, but he had seen it a few times, although Guo Huaishang was more optimistic about young readers, it was still rare to be so close.

Guo Huaishang also personally asked the four of them to be led in before he got into the sedan chair with a smile, and he should have gone to the mansion.

When the sedan chair was far away, Wu Yaozu came out and stepped forward with a smile, at this time, the gatehouse of the Guo Mansion had not yet entered, "Big brother, may I ask, the ones who just went in were Qizhu and Basong, who just won Xiucai yesterday?" I looked a little like it from a distance. ”

"You also know Young Master Qizhu and Young Master Basong." The porter of the Guo Mansion replied with a smile.

"Uncle Qi's nephew, I know." Wu Yaozu smiled and said, "I just heard that I won the show, it's really amazing, and the future is limitless at such an age." ”

"yes, yes." The porter smiled and agreed.

"But I didn't know that they were still related to Guo Fu, so I thought I was wrong." Wu Yaozu said a little embarrassed.

"Who are you?" The porter had never seen Wu Yaozu and didn't know who he was.

"Oh, I'm the county magistrate of Huaijin County, isn't it July?" Wu Yaozu mentioned his identity.

When the porter heard that it was the county magistrate of Huaijin County, he was a little more cautious in his heart, and then his face was a little more respectful, "I didn't expect it to be the county lord, our lord just went to the mansion." ”

"I just saw it." Wu Yaozu admitted with a smile, "But I only cared about whether I recognized the wrong person, and I was not sure for a while, so I didn't come forward, as for Lord Tongzhi, I can see it when I go to the mansion later." ”

What Wu Yaozu wanted to express was that he didn't come to find Guo Huaishang, of course, the real purpose was only known to him, and now what he wanted to understand was the relationship between Qi Mansion and Guo Mansion.

"It's not surprising that Lord Cheng of the county knows Young Master Qizhu and Young Master Basong, they are students of the Fang family's private school, and the Fang's private school is a big signboard in Huaijin County." The porter said with a smile.

"Actually, I also saw it today, just now I met the uncle of the Qi family, and I saw the four of them from a distance called the uncle of the Qi family, and I knew that they were the nephews of the uncle of the Qi family." Wu Yaozu explained with a smile that his relationship with Qi Qizhu was not very pleasant just now, if he was very familiar, this would be exposed at once, he was not stupid, such a lie could not withstand scrutiny and verification.

"I didn't expect it to be from the Fang family's private school, it turned out to be my own person." Wu Yaozu smiled heartily.
