Chapter 174: Calm Down
Qi Yan stepped into the Chaoxi Courtyard, and his emotions that had begun to fluctuate became even more undulating.
She couldn't help but smile softly.
"Qi Yan?" Xie Fuxiu stood behind her, and when he saw Qi Yan lowering her head and her shoulders shaking slightly, she didn't know whether she was crying or laughing.
Qi Yan suddenly said again: "Eldest son, can I go to the house?" ”
Xie Fuxiu paused slightly and said, "Yes, please." ”
Qi Yan just "got an inch" and stepped into Xie Fuxiu's house.
Xie Fuxiu followed closely and also walked into the house.
"Sit down." Xie Fuxiu said.
Qi Yan looked around: "It's not the same as the last time I came, nothing has changed." ”
Xie Fuxiu said: "It's only been a few days, of course there will be no changes." ”
Qi Yan looked at Xie Fuxiu: "Eldest son, you can also sit." ”
Xie Fuxiu leaned on crutches and asked Qi Yan, "Do you drink tea?" ”
"No, you don't." Qi Yan made a "please" gesture and said, "Eldest son, sit down." ”
Xie Fuxiu came to the opposite side of Qi Yan and put down his crutches: "You came to me, is there something wrong?" ”
"It's okay, I can't come to see you." Qi Yan said with a smile.
Xie Fuxiu smiled, a little unnatural, but smiled sincerely: "You've been quite busy lately, right?" ”
"It's okay." Qi Yan put one hand on his cheek and said, "If you want to say busy...... But there are some of them, if they are not busy, they are actually not busy at all. ”
Xie Fuxiu couldn't help laughing: "Is that busy or not?" ”
"That depends on what you think." Qi Yan shrugged and spoke. 、
When Xie Fuxiu heard this, he paused and said, "What you said is also right, the key depends on what you think." ”
The words fell, and the two fell silent.
Qi Yan's purpose in coming to Chaoxi Courtyard was naturally not to tell Xie Fuxiu about these things, and of course Xie Fuxiu would not keep talking to Qi Yan about these things.
It's just that......
The two glanced at each other, and then tacitly avoided each other.
In the end, Xie Fuxiu took a step back, sighed, and said softly: "Qi Yan, are you in trouble?" ”
Qi Yan paused and took a deep breath: "Yes......"
"Then you can say it." Xie Fuxiu said.
Qi Yan looked at him: "I'm done, is the eldest prince going to send off guests again?" ”
Xie Fuxiu smiled a little helplessly: "Qi Yan ......"
"I do have something to say." Qi Yan looked at Xie Fuxiu, I don't know if it was the influence of the Nine Needles of Requiem, Qi Yan didn't have the previous nervousness and palpitations in the face of Xie Fuxiu at this time, she could still joke with Xie Fuxiu calmly.
"I ...... I want to ask the eldest prince something. Qi Yan said.
"What's the matter?" Xie Fuxiu was puzzled.
"About, me and you." Qi Yan said.
"You and me?" Xie Fuxiu was a little puzzled.
"Before I marry into Xie Fu." Qi Yan said, "Eldest son, have we seen it?" ”
Xie Fu Xiu bowed: "I've seen it." ”
"Where? When? Qi Yan suddenly asked.
Xie Fuxiu was a little surprised, with a confused expression: "Why did you suddenly ask this question?" ”
"I don't remember very well." Qi Yan said in a low voice.
Xie Fuxiu swallowed slightly: "I actually don't remember very well...... I know you're a maid by Qing'an's side, and we seem to have met at Garan Temple......"
"What season?"
"I can't remember the specifics." Xie Fuxiu said.
"That'...... What season was it? Qi Yan asked again.
"Spring." Xie Fuxiu said, "The Kapok tree in Garan Temple is in full bloom......
Qi Yan muttered to himself, "It turned out to be spring......"
"Why do you ask about this?" Xie Fuxiu asked rhetorically.
Qi Yan pressed his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly can't remember." ”
"Can't remember?" Xie Fuxiu looked a little surprised.
Qi Yan naturally didn't tell him about the Nine Needles of Requiem, but said, "Eldest Prince, how is your leg?" ”
Xie Fuxiu smiled and replied: "As you can see, it's almost better now, you used to need crutches to walk, but now a cane is enough." ”
After a pause, Xie Fuxiu continued: "Actually, I tried it yesterday. ”
"Try what?"
"Let go of the crutches...... Xie Fuxiu said, "I tried, and I could stand for a while." ”
"That's great." Qi Yan felt sincerely happy, "Soon, you will be able to throw away the crutches." ”
Xie Fu Xiu bowed his head: "Yes, Doctor Zhang said that it only takes half a month......
"Half a month......" Qi Yan Nan'an said, "So, in half a month, you are going to Youzhou?" ”
"Hmm." Xie Fuxiu couldn't help but smile, that smile made people feel that he was happy from the bottom of his heart, "I can finally leave Yujing......"
"Finally able to leave......" Qi Yan gently repeated Xie Fuxiu's words, and smiled bitterly, "You don't seem to like Yujing very much." ”
"It's not that I don't like it." Xie Fuxiu explained, "I just haven't left Yujing all the time, so I especially want to go out and see it." ”
"Now, your wish will come true." Qi Yan said.
"Yes......" Xie Fuxiu said, looking at Qi Yan, "In the future, we may not be able to see each other, Qi Yan, you have to learn to take care of yourself." ”
Qi Yan lowered his head and smiled, noncommittal.
"Since you've decided to leave." Qi Yan said, "How's the preparation for the entanglement?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Xie Fuxiu said, "Over the years, I have saved some money. ”
"What about the family?" Qi Yan said, "You can't leave by yourself, right?" ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Xie Fu Yi was confident and said, "Grandpa will send me a subordinate to escort me." ”
"The old lady knows?" Qi Yan asked.
Xie Fuxiu said: "I asked people to talk to my grandfather, and he agreed. ”
Qi Yan opened her mouth, an indescribable sadness, she thought that the eldest prince was weak in the Xie Mansion, but she didn't expect that he didn't have to rely on her at all, and he had already arranged things for eight or nine.
"That's good." In addition to this, Qi Yan didn't seem to know what else he could say.
"Qi Yan, I'm very happy." Xie Fuxiu said.
Qi Yan said: "I'm also happy for you." ”
"Thank you." Xie Fuxiu said again, "These days, I have to prepare for leaving...... Perhaps, there is no time to entertain you properly. ”
Qi Yan heard this, and paused slightly.
Look, the eldest prince is driving people away again.
However, Xie Fuxiu is Xie Fuxiu, gentle in his bones, even if he doesn't want to have more dealings with Qi Yan, he won't say it clearly.
Qi Yan slowly closed his eyes and pressed his chest.
It stands to reason that her heart should be sore at this time......
However, she didn't feel much, like a wounded patient, she should have died of pain, but ......... The doctor gave her an anesthetic, and the wound that should have been heart-rending only had a numb feeling, and she could not feel sharp pain.
Requiem Nine Needles......
Qi Yan was in a trance for a moment, and even, for a moment, because she didn't feel pain, she felt that it was also a good choice for her to let go of Xie Fu, to give herself and her own freedom.
Just for a moment! When Qi Yan came back to his senses and thought that he would lose Xie Fuxiu, although his heart didn't hurt, the feeling of suffocation crushed over him little by little.
She knows that she is calm, and she can even analyze her emotions in detail.
Xie Fuxiu is leaving......
She didn't feel much pain, therefore, she didn't get hysterical, she didn't force or escape, she just stood in front of Xie Fuxiu, looking at him.
An indescribable "stubbornness" was embedded in the bottom of his heart, it was a voice, that voice was so determined, so clear, it stated one thing to Qi Yan: Qi Yan would not let go of Xie Fuxiu, absolutely not.
"Qi Yan?" Xie Fuxiu saw that Qi Yan didn't speak for a long time, and even lost his mind, raised his hand and shook his hand, "Are you okay?" ”
Qi Yan raised his head: "I'm fine." ”
"It's not too early...... Xie Fuxiu said, "I still have some things to ...... here."
Qi Yan bowed his head, smiled, and said, "Then I won't bother you." ”
"You walk slowly." Xie Fuxiu said.
"Hmm." Qi Yan walked out of the door, and then stopped, "Eldest Prince, can I still come to see you?" ”
Xie Fu paused and said, "Yes...... It's just that I'm ......"
"That's good!" Before Qi Yan could politely refuse, he said, "Then I'll go, eldest prince." ”
"Uh......" What else could Xie Fuxiu say, he could only sigh softly and send Qi Yan away.
…………
…………
After Qi Yan left Chaoxi Courtyard, he walked in the direction of the gate of the Xie family.
The full moon followed Qi Yan and couldn't help asking, "Young lady, aren't we going back to Lingchun Courtyard?" ”
"I'm not going back." Qi Yan said, "Let's go straight to the store." ”
"Oh!" The full moon followed Qi Yan, "Then I'll go prepare the carriage." ”
Qi Yan bowed his head.
…………
…………
One of the master and servant went to the door, and the other went to prepare the carriage.
When Qi Yan walked to the door, it was a coincidence that Mrs. Cao was nodding and "please" someone to Xie's house.
The man was a middle-aged Taoist priest with two beards and a handful of dust in his hand.
"Young lady, are you going out?" When Mrs. Cao saw Qi Yan, she was slightly stunned.
Qi Yan glanced at the Taoist priest, and then at Mrs. Cao, and knew in his heart that this person was invited by Mrs. Cao to exorcise evil spirits for Xie Xianxian.
"Young lady, where are you going?" Cao Pozi said again.
Qi Yan said: "Where am I going, do I still have to report to you?" ”
"Of course not!" Mrs. Cao's face was embarrassed, she coughed dryly, and said to Qi Yan: "Young lady, I invited Master Yuan according to your instructions." ”
"Oh." Qi Yan was lukewarm, and after speaking, he walked forward.
After walking a few steps, he came face to face with Mrs. Qi at the door.
Qi Yan couldn't help frowning, and then his expression returned to normal, and he couldn't see any traces.
"Qi Yan, where are you going?" Mrs. Qi asked.
Qi Yan said: "Why are you here?" ”
The two spoke in unison.
After a pause, Mrs. Xie said, "I was going to ask Master Yuan to do it, but as a result, I will take a look if I know about Miss Xie's affairs." ”
Qi Yan was a little curious, Mrs. Qi asked Master Yuan what to do, but that curiosity was only a momentary thing, and she immediately put it away.
"Xie Qianxian is in the Lingchi Courtyard." Qi Yan said, "You go." ”
"What about you?" Mrs. Qi looked at her.
"I'll go out." Qi Yan said in his heart, isn't this an obvious thing?
"Now?" Mrs. Qi's tone was a little strange.
"yes."
"Miss Xie is like that, are you going out now?" Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Yan and said, "You are also the young lady of the Xie family, or Miss Xie's sister-in-law, she is like that, why do you look like a nobody?" ”
When Qi Yan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to answer Mrs. Qi for a while.
"Don't go out." Mrs. Qi said, "Let people see the joke." ”
Qi Yan: "......"
"Let's go, what are you still standing here?" Mrs. Qi said, motioning for Qi Yan to go back with her eyes.
Qi Yan glanced at Mrs. Qi directly, I really don't know what she thinks.
"You see, please." Qi Yan said, "I still have something to ......"
After that, I want to go directly.
"Wait a minute!" Mrs. Qi grabbed Qi Yan.
"What's the matter?" Qi Yan was already a little impatient.
"About Miss Xie." Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Yan with dissatisfaction in her eyes and a displeased expression, but she still pressed it and spoke to Qi Yan as if she was "condescending to be noble".
She thought that Qi Yan couldn't see it, but as everyone knows, Qi Yan could see her expression clearly.
When it comes to observing words and feelings, how can the background of a young lady like Mrs. Qi compare to Qi Yan, who is crawling in the maid?
"About Xie Xianxian?" Qi Yan was about to dump Mrs. Qi, but when she suddenly mentioned Xie Xianxian, Qi Yan was also a little curious.
"What's the matter with her?"
"Her 'ghost body' this time ......" Mrs. Qi paused and said, "Is it serious?" ”
Qi Yan said: "Don't you know if you look at it?" ”
Mrs. Qi choked.
"What exactly are you going to say?" Qi Yan frowned, a little impatient again.
"Ahem! Cough! Mrs. Qi coughed and said, "Xie Xianxian is not married yet, right?" ”
Qi Yan raised his eyebrows: "Yes." ”
"Is there a suitable candidate for the Xie family?" Mrs. Qi asked again.
Qi Yan said: "Then I don't know, you have to ask Mrs. Xie." ”
But Mrs. Xie is not here now.
"Qi Yan, what do you think...... How about Xie Xianxian and Maoyuan? ”
Qi Yan was stunned, it's Sun Maoyuan again?!
The last time Mrs. Qi came to borrow money, it was for Sun Maoyuan, and now she has started to play Xie Xianxian's idea again......
But......
Before the corners of Qi Yan's mocking mouth were raised, she pressed down: "Do you want Xie Xianxian to marry Sun Maoyuan?" ”
Mrs. Qi looked left and right and said, "If it was before, I wouldn't dare to think about it, but ...... Isn't this Xie Xianxian's 'ghost body'? This kind of thing is very evil, I think those who are right with the Xie family, it is estimated that if they marry Xie Xianxian, they will have to think about it, but Maoyuan is different, Xie Xianxian has arrived at the Sun family...... Definitely not wronged. ”
Qi Yan said: "You can ask Xie Xianxian to see if she agrees." ”
"How can you ask this kind of thing directly?" Mrs. Qi said, "You are now a member of the Xie family, you go and talk nonsense." ”
Qi Yan clasped his hands around his chest: "Mrs. Qi, I'm afraid you don't know, my relationship with Xie Xianxian?" ”
"Your relationship?" Mrs. Qi said, "You are her sister-in-law, how much does she want to buy your face?" ”
"You can go to Xie's house to inquire about our relationship, and then come and ask me." Qi Yan said.
Mrs. Qi frowned, slightly puzzled.
Qi Yan glanced back: "I still have something to do, let's go first." ”
After speaking, the little full moon who rushed over waved his hand: "The car is ready?" ”
"Ready." Full Moon walked to Qi Yan's side, and when she saw Mrs. Qi, the little maid's face was not very good, but she was still polite and said hello.
"Qi Yan, ...... you" Mrs. Qi still wanted to say something, here Qi Yan had already left with the full moon.
…………
…………
The master and servant got into the car, the full moon opened the sedan curtain, looked back, and could no longer see Mrs. Qi's figure, the little maid retracted her head and asked Qi Yan: "Young lady, what did Mrs. Qi say to you?" I think she's in a hurry. ”
"Nothing." Qi Yan said, he couldn't help laughing, "Mrs. Qi wants her maiden nephew to marry Xie Xianxian. ”
The full moon blinked: "Mrs. Qi's maiden nephew...... Isn't that the Sun family? Sun Maoyuan? ”
"Yes."
"Sun Maoyuan is a ......," Full Moon said, pursed her lips, and said, "I inquired about him." ”
"What do you ask him for?"
"Last time Mrs. Qi came over and forced you to lend money to this Sun Maoyuan, I inquired." Full Moon said, "Young lady, fortunately you insisted on not lending it to him!" You don't know! Sun Maoyuan eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and gets messed with everything, that's not all, he also likes to brag big! Saying how much business you have done is big, but in fact it is nothing! ”
Qi Yan smiled: "That's a loser, it's a waste of time to inquire about him." ”
"Not really." Full Moon pouted, and said, "I also heard that the Sun family is completely out of order, although Master Sun has done some business, but it is almost corrupted by Sun Maoyuan, it is just an empty shell......
"Even so." Qi Yan said, "In the eyes of Mrs. Qi, Sun Maoyuan is still a pillar of talent? ”
"She's a protector." The full moon mercilessly debunked, "Isn't there an old saying? The crops are always the good of others, and the children are always their own good. ”
When Qi Yan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Full Moon said again: "Young Madam, you just said that Mrs. Qi wants the Sun family to marry the Xie family?" ”
"Hmm." Qi Yan bowed his head and said, "Mrs. Qi wants Xie Xianxian to marry Sun Maoyuan." ”
"How is that possible?" Full Moon said, "With the high vision of the eldest lady, the future husband must be the kind that sits on an equal footing with the son." Just Sun Maoyuan?! He doesn't deserve to lift shoes for his son! ”
When Qi Yan heard this, he smiled meaningfully: "Even then, Xie Xianxian may not be able to get married." ”
Everyone knows that Xie Xianxian is the goddaughter of Mrs. Xie, although her identity is the eldest lady of the Xie family, she has no blood relationship with Xie Fuyi, and everyone up and down the Xie family only regards Xie Xianxian as the eldest lady, and she and Xie Fuyi as brother and sister.
But she didn't know where Xie Xianxian wanted to be the eldest lady of the Xie family, and she wanted to be the young lady of the Xie family.
Of course, Qi Yan also knew in her heart that Xie Xianxian wanted to be a young lady, which was different from the crescent moon that wanted to climb up, because she loved Xie Fu Yi.
