CHAPTER XXXI
Xie Ruqing entered the room with chicken soup, feeling a little depressed, because he couldn't give it diligently, he always felt like he owed a favor.
Qi Yanzhi was still studying, she didn't disturb him, and walked directly inside with the bowl, planning to drink two bowls by herself.
"Aren't you going to give me a bowl?" Qi Yanzhi suddenly asked.
Xie Ruqing paused and turned around; "Chicken broth, still with chopped green onions."
Qi Yanzhi put down the book and rubbed his eyebrows, "So what?" ”
Xie Ruqing: "......"
So what? Don't you don't drink chicken soup and eat chopped green onions?
"Chicken soup replenishes qi." Qi Yanzhi reminded again.
After a while, the two sat at the same table, and each person drank a bowl of chicken soup, and the young master Qi, who claimed not to drink chicken soup and didn't eat green onions, drank not even a single green onion dregs.
Xie Ruqing was a little speechless, but the depression in his heart had passed. She was about to clean up the dishes, but Qi Yanzhi asked her not to move and beckoned Qingshan to come in and clean up.
Qingshan came in and saw the empty bowl in front of his son-in-law, it was like seeing a ghost, he looked at the son and then looked at the lady when he collected the bowl, and said that the son worked too hard to please his daughter-in-law!
Qi Yanzhi is a very big young master, the taste is very picky, of course, there are also reasons to avoid food, he doesn't eat greasy things, he doesn't drink the chicken soup if it is too strong, he doesn't drink it if he adds too many spices, and he can't have onions, ginger and garlic, and he is more harsh to pick a cook than a daughter-in-law.
Sure enough, one thing drops one thing, Qingshan thought, with a daughter-in-law, any problem can be good.
"The day after tomorrow, I will go to the General's Mansion to see the old lady, tell me if you have anything you want to buy, and I will accompany you to shop tomorrow." Qi Yan's way.
When he returned to the door the day after tomorrow, the ancestor lacked nothing, in fact, it didn't matter whether he sent something or not, Xie Ruqing originally thought that it would be better not to send it, and it was better to go back and sit with the old man for a while than anything else, but he didn't expect Qi Yanzhi to be worried.
What to buy, Xie Ruqing thought for a while and said: "Why don't you buy something ready-made, at the age of the ancestor, you will be happy to eat something you like." ”
Qi Yanzhi smiled.
This night, Qi Yanzhi slept outside as usual, he asked Qingshan to prepare a soft couch, and when he was tired of reading, he slept on the soft couch for a while, and when Xie Ru woke up the next morning, the person was gone.
Xie Ruqing blamed himself in his heart, he was just afraid that she would be embarrassed. Before getting married, the ancestor pointed to a few old grandmothers to take care of her, and the grandmothers also came to the palace, although it was a good intention, but there were many inconveniences, their every move was in the eyes of the grandmother, if they slept in separate rooms, they had to attract the elders to ask.
There was no girl in Qi Yanzhi's yard, because of this, I don't know how many criticisms he had, some said that he was withdrawn, some said that he couldn't have sex because he broke his leg, and some people said that he was good at Longyang, but people never paid attention to it. Because of marriage, they are all allowed to come in, Xie Ruqing knows that he doesn't have those problems, but he doesn't like to be restrained, and he may not be really comfortable if he allows them politely.
Shouting Ruhuan came in to serve, Ruhuan entered the door with a basin, and was stunned when she saw the soft couch outside, she was young and didn't understand the affairs of men and women, it was in the morning when Mama Liu asked her about the girl's aunt's room in private, and she vaguely knew something.
Because she was the only one who came in yesterday morning to clean up the bed, Mama Liu asked her if the bed sheets had been changed, and she said that she had changed, because the girl didn't like the bedding embroidered with gold threads, and after the wedding night, she naturally had to change into the soft cotton bedding that she was used to, but Mama Liu's face was immediately unsightly.
She asked what was wrong, and Mama Liu only said that her aunt and girl might have slept separately.
Ruhuan was suspicious, but the uncle looked at how good he was to the girl, careful and gentle, how could she not like the girl, but when she saw the soft couch placed outside, she seemed to have to believe it.
Carrying a stomach full of questions, he entered the inner room, and looked at Xie Ruqing's expression while twisting the handkerchief, "Did the girl sleep well?" ”
Xie Ruqing nodded, she slept alone as before, nothing good or bad.
Ruhuan wiped the girl's hands with a handkerchief, glanced at the bed, there was no trace of her uncle at all, and the bed on the table was full of the girl's things, which was too abnormal.
"Girl, I heard from the girls outside this morning that the prince was beaten very lightly yesterday, if it wasn't for the pain on the spot, the prince would not stop, the princess cried all night, and she didn't get up in the morning, I don't know if I want to say goodbye." Ruhuan carefully wiped her face and said.
Xie Ruqing snorted in his heart, it's good to be killed, and the rest will be hated in the future.
"Oh yes, Young Master Jin was carried to the princess's house, the prince was in charge, the side concubine cried for a night, and still knelt in the courtyard, Su Hong in the courtyard of the prince was said to be very sad because the prince was beaten, and he also called the imperial doctor in the morning, saying that his stomach was uncomfortable."
Young Master Jin is Fang Huisheng's eldest grandson, named Qi Shaojin, a three- or four-year-old child, who is used to being unorthodox by Fang Hui. Xie Ruqing raised him for a few days in his previous life, when he was still in swaddling clothes, he was well-behaved, and he was quite dependent on her, but after being picked up by Fang Hui, he became more and more pampered, Qi Zhiyuan himself was not grown up, and he was not good at discipline, which caused the child to grow crooked.
The prince had a few seizures before, saying that this child has to be managed, Qi Zhiyuan should be in charge, he himself indulges in eating, drinking and having fun all day long, where can he take care of it, this time it is probably really annoyed by the prince, so he hugged the child to the princess. Fang Hui is naturally anxious, she can count on this child to be around, she is used to using children to compete for favor, usually as long as this child has a headache and brain fever, three points can be exaggerated into ten, then Qi Zhiyuan is not good to go to the concubine's house again, so she takes the opportunity to sell miserably and seduce, she can attract Qi Zhiyuan to stay for a few more days.
The same is true for the family, often leading Qi Shaojin to brush her sense of existence in front of the princess and princess, and never forget to remind everyone that she is the mother of the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson can't leave her as a biological mother for a moment, if not, the princess can't tolerate her several times.
Now that the child is still young, recognizing people is only temporary, and after being with the princess for a few years, he will definitely be separated from his biological mother, how could Fang Hui agree.
That plain red is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the eldest grandson was taken away, but it seems that she is important in her belly, which will definitely attract a lot of attention. Moreover, the son of the world was beaten, Fang Hui only cared about crying for her son, but she almost lost the child because of crying for the son, and when the son of the world is better, can she not miss her love?
Let's make trouble, there is a lot of trouble in the prince's room to be happy, Xie Ruqing wants this effect, aren't you Qi Zhiyuan and Fang Hui in love, aren't you more in love than Jin, don't you forget to bring a golden word to name your son, this will also let you see that gold may not be strong, Fang Hui will taste the bitter fruit sooner or later, and Qi Zhiyuan will kill himself sooner or later.
"Girl?" Ruhuan saw her distracted and called.
"Huh?" Xie Ruqing thought about it, and subconsciously responded, only to react afterwards that he spoke out again, and recently he was used to talking to Qi Yanzhi, but he was a lot less vigilant.
But it's okay, it's meant to be planned to "open up".
"Girl?" Ruhuan heard it clearly, she was stunned and happy, she almost cried with joy, "You, you can really make a sound!" ”
Xie Ruqing touched her throat, her eyes showed a little surprise, she tried to clear her throat, and made a slightly hoarse voice - acting is really tiring, she thought to herself.
However, she still told Ruhuan not to say it, and planned to speed up the "opening".
After breakfast, Xie Ruqing and Qi Yan went to the street, and went out to say hello to the princess's house, the princess's face was not very good, Qi Zhiyuan was still lying on the bed half dead, but the eldest young master and the younger couple were going out to play, and they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
Yesterday, Xie Ruqing said that she wanted to buy food, so Qi Yanzhi took her to a pastry shop, went in and picked out a few sample store signs, what chestnut crisp osmanthus stuffed, all kinds of things I wanted to eat.
"The taste of this shop is on the sweet side, and the old people don't have such a good sense of taste, so they should like it." Qi Yan introduced on the side, and Yibi took a piece for her to eat, "You eat and see." ”
The slender white fingers held the soft pastry in the palm of her hand, looking very appetizing, Xie Ruqing put it to his mouth and took a bite, sweet but not greasy, and the taste was very fragrant. She nodded at Qi Yanzhi, indicating that it was delicious.
Qi Yanzhi smiled back, and took a few more pieces to her, "Qingshan, go ask the boss for a bowl of tea." ”
Xie Ruqing was eating here, and another customer came in the store, and she almost choked at a glance.
"Eh, is that you?" Fang Yanping was also overjoyed to see Xie Ruqing, "What a coincidence, girl." ”
It's really a coincidence, but I didn't expect to meet again, last time the rouge shop, this time the pastry shop, I don't know who he came to please this time.
Xie Ruqing nodded and took the initiative to hand him pastries to eat.
Qi Yanzhi watched the interaction between the two thoughtfully.
"Last time, I liked the rouge gouache and cream you chose for me, and my mother liked it very much, and I never had the opportunity to meet you to say thank you, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental." Fang Yanping sat next to Xie Ruqing, took the pastry with a smile, and was not informal, so they ate together.
Xie Ruqing's eyes couldn't help but soften when he saw him, like an old mother watching her children grow up.
Qi Yanzhi looked at it for a while and reminded: "Drink some tea, don't choke." ”
Fang Yanping really choked for a moment, he seemed to notice Qi Yanzhi next to him, "This is ......"
"I am Qi Yanzhi, Ruqing's husband." Qi Yan's way.
"You are Qi Yanzhi?" Fang Yanping looked at Qi Yanzhi and then at Xie Ruqing, and then remembered that the day before yesterday, the eldest young master of the Qi family had just become a parent, which caused a sensation in the capital.
But I didn't expect the bride to be this girl.
Speaking of which, Fang Yanping is still Qi Zhiyuan's brother-in-law, but since his sister died, he has never had any contact with Qiyang Palace. It's false to say that she doesn't hate, her mother said that her sister's life is thin and she is not blessed, and she went at a young age, but Fang Yanping doesn't believe in any blessings, he thinks that Qi Zhiyuan is not good for his sister.
My sister is a cheerful girl when she is at home, and she has been fine at home for more than ten years, why did she die of illness within a few years of being born in his house? That Qi Zhiyuan is not a good person, he is a gentleman, and he married a widowed sister, she must have lost her sister and made her sad, and when she is sad, she will definitely boast about her body, and her sister is alive and dead!
Fang Yanping was young and vigorous, he couldn't hide the anger in his heart, his face immediately turned bad, he stood up and arched his hand at Xie Ruqing, "I'm sorry, I still have something at home, let's go first, let's get together another day."
Ay! Xie Ruqing almost screamed, she looked at Qi Yanzhi's gaze, meaning that she was a little out of shape, so she had to restrain her mind and drink water from the teacup to cover up.
I don't know how the Qi family explained to the Fang family after she died, she estimated that Qi Zhiyuan and Fang Hui would definitely say that she died of illness, but looking at Fang Yanping's appearance, she probably didn't believe it, and she didn't know whether to be relieved or guilty for a while.
She was glad that her brother was not deceived, but she was also sad that her mother knew the truth.
"How about eating squirrel fish at noon?" Qi Yanzhi asked.
Xie Ruqing nodded, she didn't explain, Qi Yanzhi didn't ask, she felt that it was good for friends to give each other space like this, better than any husband and wife relationship she expected.
