Chapter 268: Old Lady Qi (4)

After Qingshu waited for Old Lady Qi to leave, he asked Mrs. Qi with a curious expression: "Auntie, is it possible that Old Lady Qi will kill Qi Xiuran?" ”

Unless he killed Qi Xiuran, he really couldn't satisfy his aunt. But the tiger poison does not eat children, no matter how old lady Qi is, it is impossible to kill Qi Xiuran.

"Let's wait!"

The old lady would never say something that he was not sure about. Since he said that he would satisfy himself, he would definitely give a heavy hand to Qi Xiuran. But killing, definitely not.

After Old Lady Qi went back, she asked Qi Xiuran to be called to his study.

On the second day, Qing Shu knew what Old Lady Qi had done. Old lady Qi sent Aunt Bai to the government on the charge of murdering her mother, and then expelled Qi Yuluo, who was born to Aunt Bai, from Qi Yuheng.

Lao Kui bowed down and said to Mrs. Qi: "The lord thinks that all this is caused by her spoiling wife and killing her, and preparing to take refuge in Buddhism in order to atone for the sins on her body." ”

Qingshu was dumbfounded.

After Lao Kui left, Qingshu said, "Auntie, this is coaxing us, right?" ”

Just Qi Xiuran, a hypocritical person who is greedy for pleasure, how can he become a monk.

Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "It's true, the date of shaving is set in ten days." ”

She didn't expect the old lady to force Qi Xiuran to become a monk. Thinking that Qi Xiuran would have to eat fasting and chant Buddha in the temple for the rest of his life, he felt comfortable all over.

"The old lady's hand is really unexpected."

Mrs. Qi smiled and said, "There is no surprise. If the old man doesn't make a move, it will be a foregone conclusion as soon as he makes a move. ”

"The old man is so powerful, why is Qi Xiuran so virtuous?"

"When Qi Xiuran was born, Mrs. Qi was only seventeen years old, and he was just a talent at that time, and he was focused on the imperial examination. When he was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official, he had time to discipline Qi Xiuran, but his personality and temper had already been stereotyped, and it was difficult to change it. ”

Qingshu asked cautiously, "Auntie, will you still go back to Qi's house?" ”

Mrs. Qi nodded and said, "Go back." ”

The eye-catching Qi Xiuran and the Bai family are gone, and as for the old lady Qi, they are all staying in the Buddhist hall, so it doesn't hurt to go back to the Qi family.

After Qi Xiuran became a monk, Mrs. Qi and the patriarch came over to invite Mrs. Qi home.

Old lady Qi said: "Pearl, Xiu Ran already knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to spend the rest of his life to redeem the mistake he made by spoiling his concubine and killing his wife." Pearl, for the sake of Xiang Di and Wangming, you should also go home. ”

Mrs. Qi frowned and said, "But Qi Xiuran and I have already reconciled. ”

The patriarch of the Qi family immediately said: "You and you don't have to do anything about it, you and I and your father don't agree." ”

The patriarch did not approve of this matter, and the natural genealogy was not modified. Therefore, Mrs. Qi is still a member of the Qi family.

Qi Wangming knelt on the ground with his wife and children and said, "Mother, go back with us!" Otherwise, the son would not have come up from his knees. ”

He agreed to Mrs. Qi's reconciliation before, because he was worried that it would be dangerous for her to stay in the Qi family. Now that Mrs. Qi is under house arrest in the Buddhist hall, Qi Xiuran is also forced to become a monk, and Mrs. Qi is no longer in danger. Naturally, he didn't want Mrs. Qi to live outside anymore.

If there was no poisoning, Mrs. Qi would not have thought about leaving. After all, they are all so old, and there is no other meaning in leaving the two sons with no light on their faces. Now that the Qi family is no longer there, they want to go back for their son's future.

Helping Qi Wangming up, Mrs. Qi said, "Okay, my mother will go back with you." ”

Before leaving, Mrs. Qi and Qingshu said, "You can live here with peace of mind, and I will send someone to pick you up in a few days." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No need for aunt, I'll go back to my own house to live." ”

How could Mrs. Qi agree: "Last time, you were lucky, and only a few splashes came." If there are many people who come, they will kidnap and sell you, and then we will cut those people with a thousand knives, and it will be useless. ”

Qingshu is not afraid, can't he run if he can't beat it? However, she also knew that Mrs. Qi was worried about her: "Auntie, I still have to go to class!" The teacher has filial piety, and she can't go to live in Qi Mansion! ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qi said, "Then you will live here, otherwise you will go back to Qi's Mansion with me." ”

This is her house, and as long as she is not dead, there will be nothing that does not look long to talk about.

Qingshu couldn't, so he had to compromise.

Fu Ran entered the room with the book, and when she saw Qing Shu, she frowned and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking?" Thinking so fascinated. ”

Qingshu said: "In order to let my aunt return to Qi's house, Old Lady Qi actually forced Qi Xiuran to become a monk. Teacher, why do you think Mrs. Qi is doing this? ”

"Do you understand?"

Fu Ran shook his head and said, "It's because the eldest cousin is the future head of the Qi family, but I don't think it's that simple." ”

With Old Lady Qi's means, he has a way to let his aunt return to Qi's house. As a result, he abandoned Qi Xiuran for his aunt's anger.

It's good to think for yourself.

Fu Ran said deliberately: "Maybe Old Lady Qi is for the huge amount of money and business in Mrs. Qi's hands." ”

Qing Shu shook his head and said, "The old lady has been the governor of Yungui for more than ten years, and her vision will not be so small. ”

The money in Mrs. Qi's hand is one million taels of silver if she dies. This amount of money is astronomical for ordinary people, but it is not worth calculating as Old Lady Qi.

Fu Ran also stopped teasing Qingshu, and said with a smile: "Old lady Qi would rather abandon Qi Xiuran and ask Mrs. Qi to go back, because Mrs. Qi has done a lot of things to the Qi family. ”

Qingshu was really surprised: "But I heard that my aunt's business Qi family didn't get a little cheap, so these people are full of resentment towards her." ”

Fu Ran smiled and continued: "Qingshu, although the regular teacher of the Qi family's private school is a jinshi, he is also very patient with his students, and he will invite the gentleman from Bailu Academy to give lectures at the private school on the first, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the first month. The private school provides free breakfast and lunch, as well as pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and each time the first three places in the month will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, the second place will be rewarded with five taels of silver, and the third place will be rewarded with two taels of silver. And if you dare to fight in the private school, you will be kicked out of the private school and will not be allowed to enter again. ”

Studying is the most expensive, and the expenses in the private school are borne by Mrs. Qi.

Fu Ran exclaimed, "Do you know? From Mrs. Qi taking over the private school to the present, a total of eighteen lifters and eight jinshi have been trained over the years. The Qi family has also become the most prestigious family in Fucheng. ”

The most important thing for the family of scholars is that their children and grandchildren must be able to study, and then enter the imperial examination. If you don't, it's easy to fall.

No one has ever told Qingshu about these things, and this is the first time I've heard it today.

Fu Ran said: "The Qi family is a big family, and there are thousands of clansmen in the clan. These people have had a good life and some have had a bad life. During the New Year's holidays, Mrs. Qi will send rice and noodles to those who have a difficult life. In addition, she will also screen some people to go to the shop on errands. Many members of the Qi family have received her favors. However, those who have received Mrs. Qi's favor are all clansmen who are not doing well, like the aunts and grandmothers of the Qi family, and they are not cheap at all. ”
