Spring Sink (8)
"What, I gave birth to another girl"? Mrs. Qi's hearing was not very good, so she asked Qi Shiyan with wide eyes
"It's not a daughter, it's a righteous daughter."
"Oh, it's a girl, this, I'm really confused, you wait, you wait, I have to find something to make up."
No one at a table could stop this old lady, so she could only cry and laugh as she groped around her body, and after digging for a long time, she finally took out a gold coin, and the red rope was braided and strung together, and the words peace and joy were written on it. It doesn't look like it's worth much, but it should be an object that Mrs. Qi plays with every day, and her face has an oily sheen.
"Hurry up, go get me a nice purse." Mrs. Qi dismantled the tether on it while instructing the maids beside her.
It was easy to take out the gold coin, and the maid also took the purse, and Mrs. Qi waved her hand solemnly and said: "This is the New Year's money, you can't be looked at, you all close your eyes." ”
The people at the table obediently closed their eyes until they heard her chanting: "Come on, come on, quickly bring it to my new granddaughter, grandmother will definitely remember it next year, and secretly make up for another big one."
Xue Ling opened his eyes, stood up, reached out and took it from Qi Shiyan's hand, pinched it, put it in his sleeve, and said obediently: "Thank you, grandmother." ”
There were already fireworks and firecrackers in the city, and the faces of several other people were different, but Qi Qingfei was unaware of it, urging: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, I've been hungry for a long time, and I'll go to light firecrackers in a while." ”
It seems that he has never eaten the family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner since he was born, and in Pingcheng is naturally the three army soldiers are happy, and Xue Li can't see outsiders. The table in Sufu is better than eating by yourself. Although there was a slight suspicion tonight, the atmosphere was harmonious. Qi Shiyan said some interesting stories about the court and the opposition, and talked about the period of Qingman's passage, and finally did not forget to tell the two sisters of Qingyu and Qingfei to be self-denying and etiquette, and to be virtuous and female.
The three daughters of the Qi family were still worried about Xue Ling at first, but later drank some fruit wine, and they happily chatted about their little daughter's thoughts.
Mrs. Qi also looked at Xue Ling and said: "Since the master has opened his mouth, I will not treat her poorly, the right to food, clothing and living is according to the rules of the young lady, and in the future, don't say that I, the housewife, am not." ”
Xue Ling was about to reply, but Qi Qingfei teased Qi Qingyu first: "Sure enough, the third sister is not the third sister, and she will be called the fourth sister in the future." ”
Qi Qingman is a few years older, and he is waiting to be married, so his words and deeds are much gentler, and he hurriedly said: "Qingfei don't want to talk nonsense." ”
Qi Shiyan raised his cup and drank it to Mrs. Qi and said, "Qi is fortunate to marry Mrs. Qi for three lives." ”
Mrs. Qi was tired after eating half of it, so she let people help her down. Before the banquet was dispersed, Qi Qingfei dragged Xue Ling to leave, and did not forget to ask Qi Shiyan for mercy: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, there are no taboos." Daddy can't keep a straight face. ”
There are so many styles of fireworks in Beijing, and Qi Qingfei is full of energy, and he dragged Xue Ling to play until the second half of the night in the name of keeping the new year.
Lu Yu had already warmed the bed with the soup woman, Xue Ling undressed his shirt, and two things slipped out of his sleeves at the same time: one was peace, but the New Year's purse given by Mrs. Xue.
Groping for the gold coin inside through the purse, I could vaguely feel the outline of the words peace and joy. Xue Ling pinched his purse and stood in front of the bed and pondered for a long time, when a gust of wind came in, he was surprised to realize that the door was not closed, and the page of the hundred family names on the table next to him was blown up, Zhao Qian and Sun Li, flashed by.
In the courtyard of the farmhouse on the outskirts of the city, the last bit of charcoal fire in the plum fragrance house was also extinguished. She struggled to stuff the burden given by Xue Ling into Xue'er's hands. She opened the burden and looked at it, and sure enough, according to her request, one hundred taels of broken silver, and all that remained was five hundred taels of silver tickets, a total of five thousand taels.
"Cher, mother.... Died.. Don't make a noise, just bury it, if you can't find anyone, ask the steward of Yizhuang to take it away. The wealth is not exposed, you find a money bank to save, find a reliable person, and then take it out to make a small living. ”
"Where did my mother get so much silver, why didn't I take it out earlier, we will have money to buy medicinal materials, mother, you can support it, I am afraid that no one will come, I will go to ask for a doctor tomorrow." Xue'er kept watch in front of Mei Xiang's bed for half the night, and the tears on her face never stopped. The pear blossom brings rain in spring, which shows its beauty and uniqueness.
Mei Xiang's mind was a little sloppy, that girl seemed to have entered the Qi Mansion, maybe, maybe Qi Shiyan still misses the old love? Maybe I shouldn't have kept it a secret from Cher? No, no, most of the negative people are readers. Xue'er is so simple that she can't stand the backyard of a wealthy family.
And the Su family, the Su family... Su Family.. Xue'er had better not stay in the capital, with this money, she should always have no worries about food and clothing in this life.
"Mother, mother, mother, Xue'er, you promise your mother, you don't do anything against your will in this life, you promise your mother, your mother can be blind, you swear to your mother."
Mei Xiang held her last breath, looked at Xue'er with three fingers to the sky, and finally closed her eyes.
didn't dare to go out late at night, Xue'er guarded Mei Xiang's body until dawn, and then the family went to ask the prime man to help deal with the aftermath. On the first day of the new year, every family is taboo. Until noon, no one was willing to help.
"Dead"? Sufu is lit up and has a new look. Mrs. Su didn't change her old look, and asked casually.
"It's dead, but it's always guarded."
"How much silver Luo'er gave?"
"The boss of the money bank said that he exchanged 5,000 taels of scattered silver tickets, and I don't know if he gave it all."
"Look at the dots and find a chance to bring them back. With such a face, five thousand taels will be buried in this life, and this business is really going to die. Mei Xiang is also strong, don't be rich and rich, I like to die without a burial, find someone to help bury it, I finally sent someone into Qi Mansion, and it can be regarded as indirectly helping me with errands. ”
"Yes, ma'am."
There is something new in Beijing, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites has newly accepted a righteous daughter, the third in the family, who was originally an orphan of the deceased. This Qi Mansion is really a golden flower.
During the year, all the officials were fake, but the envoys of the Qiang tribe were about to arrive, and Qi Shiyan was busy non-stop, and he didn't stay at home for a day, and he was busy with all kinds of work with the people of the Ministry of Rites. This was the first time that Liang Liang avoided meeting directly with Xianbei, and he tried to not lose the demeanor of a great power, but also to take into account the desire for peace.
Praying for blessings and worshiping the Buddha, Xue Ling followed for two days before realizing that there are so many and miscellaneous things in this backyard, all of which are grinding things. Today, there was no request from Mrs. Qi, so she didn't say anything and went out with Qingfei, she moved a chair and knocked melon seeds in the courtyard, lazy and in a daze.
She originally thought that the three important figures of the Qi Mansion, the first emperor, the worry-free, and the former prince, must be the Longtan Tiger's Den, and she could always grab something when she came in. But after looking at it in the past few days, this house is shallow and quiet, and you can see the bottom at a glance, and you can't catch any dirty things.
Qi Mansion is safe, what do you want to do to stir up the peace of the court?
If it has been so calm, how can the hidden dragon rise?
The melon seeds in the bowl have bottomed out, and there are only seven or eight left, Xue Ling took a look, raised his hand and splashed them all into the air, threw the bowl to the ground, and slid it into his hand calmly. Got up and picked up the sword, the cold light was cold, and every melon seed and even the kernel with the shell were split in half, and fell to the ground sprinkled.
Put the sword back in his sleeve, squatted down to pick up the fragments on the ground, and thought as he picked it up: The things in the world are only these few melon seeds. No matter how good it looks, it still can't stand the sword.
The wind is calm, even so, if the envoy of the Liang tribe dies in the Liang country, it should be the wind.
The end of the year is spring, the whole country is full of spring, how can you be proud of the east wind?
