Ji Lian looked at the cake pushed over by Qi Tianyu, for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Young master, you have really changed."

Qi Tianyu glanced at him, didn't speak, and picked up the cup on the table.

The smoke filled with smoke, blurring the faces of those in front of him.

The teacup was lightly placed on the cobblestone table, and Wang raised his eyes full of love, looked at Yi Qi Wanxi next to him, and seemed to ask, "Wanxi, you have something on your mind."

Yi Qi Wanxi raised her head and looked at Wang, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, her smile was gentle, her voice was soft, and her tone was respectful: "No, mother."

Wang wiped the corners of his mouth with a hand towel, chuckled, and said, "You can't hide it from me."

Yi Qi was silent, lowered her head and played with the hair on her shoulder.

"You kid." Wang said, slowly standing up, "It's becoming more and more uneasy." ”

"Mother." Yi Qi Wanxi also got up and said, "My daughter doesn't understand. ”

Wang looked at the surface of the lake, the breeze was blowing, and the surface of the lake rippled layer by layer.

"You, everything is on your face." Wang sighed lightly, glanced at her, and asked, "What are you doing with Qi Tianyu?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi clasped her hands together, put them in front of her, lowered her head, and said softly: "No."

"It's all said that you can't hide it from me." Wang looked at the carp in the lake and said earnestly, "It's normal for two people to make trouble, but if you go to your heart, it won't last long." I also know Qi Tianyu's temperament, and I know your temperament even better. Qi Tianyu's temperament is uncertain, and you can be very tolerant of everyone. As he spoke, he turned to look at Yi Qi Wanxi, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his tone was a little helpless, "But why do you care so much about Qi Tianyu?" ”

Yi Qi was silent for a moment, raised her head to look at Wang, and said, "Tianyu is her daughter's future husband, and her daughter cares too much about it, so she ......."

"Qi Tianyu is your future husband, you care more about him, this is a good thing. But......" Wang paused deliberately, and then added, "you should learn how to get along with him." After all, husbands and wives are not the same as friends. ”

"My daughter remembered." Yi Qi replied respectfully.

Wang let out a long sigh and said, "It's not enough to just remember, you have to understand."

"My daughter understands." Yi Qi said gracefully, and wanted to retire.

Wang glanced at her, then looked at the lake, and said: "Over the years, your aunts have missed you very much, and your second aunt has recently come to Shanghai, when you are free, go to see your eldest aunt and second aunt."

"Daughters go when they have time, mother." Yi Qiwan paused and said, "That daughter went down first." ”

Wang didn't look at her, just raised his hand and said, "Go."

"Thank you, Mother." Yi Qi squatted slightly, "My daughter is leaving." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi returned to the room alone, cleaned up a little, and then took her bag and went out.

Yi Qi Mingyin, Yi Qi Mingzhi's eldest sister, Yi Qi Wanxi's eldest aunt, married Lin Xuanying as his wife. The Lin family is also a well-known big family in Shanghai, and has been in business for generations, but it is still much worse than the Yi Qi family, and naturally it is not as rich as the Qi family, and it is not as powerful as the Qi family. The Lin Mansion is far away from the Yiqi Mansion, which is in the center of the city, but the Lin Mansion is north of the city.

The car stopped in front of the Lin Mansion, Yi Qi Wanxi got out of the car, took the gift from the accompanying servant, and asked the servant to send the gift to the second aunt's house first, and then go to the second aunt's house to pick her up after dinner and let the servant go back.

Yi Qi Wanxi was led by his subordinates to see Yi Qi Mingyin, and in the house, Yi Qi Mingyin was wearing a gorgeous purple cheongsam and was sitting in the house embroidering. With a slender figure and tight skin, that face looked no more than thirty years old, making it hard to imagine that she was nearly fifty years old.

The subordinate trotted to Yi Qi Mingyin's side, leaned over and said softly: "Madam, the third lady of the Yi Qi family is here."

When Yi Qi Mingyin heard this, he was stunned, the hand holding the needle stopped, and the needle with the thread was worn on the cloth like that. Then he put down the embroidery, got up, turned to look at Yi Qi Wanxi, who had just entered the door, a smile appeared on his face, he hurriedly opened his arms, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Ah, Wanxi."

"Auntie." Yi Qi stepped forward and said with a smile.

Yi Qi Mingyin grabbed Yi Qi Wanxi's arms with both hands, looked her up and down, couldn't help frowning, and her tone was very pitying: "Why are you so thin?"

Yi Qi replied with a smile: "Not thin, auntie."

Yi Qi Mingyin grabbed her, turned back to her subordinates and said, "Go and tell the kitchen to prepare the dishes."

Before the servant could answer, he was already preempted by Yi Qi Wanxi: "No need, auntie." I'm going to go to my second aunt's house to have a look. ”

"I'll go back after lunch." Yi Qi Mingyin looked at her with a tough tone, and then turned back to the servant next to him who was a little overwhelmed and said, "Go quickly." ”

Then the servant answered, "Yes, ma'am." Then he ran out in small steps.

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't want to stay in her house, although she was helpless, she still smiled lightly: "Thank you, auntie."

When Yi Qi Mingyin let go of Yi Qi Wanxi, Yi Qi Wanxi raised her hands holding the gift slightly, and said with a light smile: "Auntie, the gift that my niece bought you in the UK, please accept it with a smile."

When Yi Qi Mingyin heard this, she was first surprised, and then said: "Ah, I have a heart, and I brought a gift, why be polite when I come to my aunt's house." Then he took the gift, turned back to the maid next to him, and said, "Come, take down the gift that Miss Wanxi brought." ”

Hearing the sound, the maid next to her quickly stepped forward, took the gift from Yi Qi Mingyin's hand and retreated.

"Come, Wanxi, have a good chat with the eldest aunt." Yi Qi Mingyin took Yi Qi Wanxi's hand and walked towards the garden, "How have you been in the UK in the past five years?" Are you still used to it? ”

"It's okay in the UK, it's just homesick." Yi Qi Wanxi kept up with Yi Qi Mingyin's pace and said.

When Yi Qi Mingyin heard this, she laughed out loud and said, "I remember that you used to always leave home."

"I'm always bored at home." Yi Qi smiled and said, "When I leave home, I know that no matter where I am, I am not as good as home." ”

When Yi Qi Mingyin heard this, he was very pleased, and said: "It's not expensive for people to go out, and they have grown up." After a while, he suddenly remembered something, and asked again, "I remember that you have a marriage contract with Qi Tianyu, the eldest young master of the Qi family, right?" ”

Yi Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes."

"Then the date of your marriage is set?"

Yi Qi was silent for a moment, lowered her head, and said with a light smile: "The marriage contract is all arranged by my parents."

Yi Qi Mingyin thought for a moment, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm afraid, you have to pay more attention to this matter."

When Yi Qi Wanxi heard this, her heart trembled, but she smiled indifferently: "But my father said that he talked to Uncle Qi about this, and Wanxi thought that I didn't have to worry about it."

"Don't you know what your father's personality is?" While talking, the two had already arrived at the garden, and Yi Qi Mingyin pulled Yi Qi Wanxi to sit down in the pavilion. The servant beside him quickly brought tea and placed it on the table between the two.

Yi Qi sat on the chair and looked at Yi Qi Mingyin, who was holding a teacup next to him to taste the tea, and said, "But my father said that he would pick an auspicious day to hold a wedding for me and Tianyu."

"If your father had a heart, he wouldn't have spoken to you. In the five years you've been in the UK, there's a lot going on that you don't know. Yi Qi Mingyin said, gently lifting the lid of the teacup and gently rubbing it against the mouth of the teacup, making a slight sound, "The relationship between the Yi Qi family and the Qi family is not as good as it was five years ago, so you don't care about the marriage between you and the eldest young master of the Qi family, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

After listening to Yi Qi Mingyin's words, although Yi Qi Wanxi's face was calm, she felt uneasy in her heart: "I don't know what has happened in the past five years?"

"There's something I can't tell you." Yi Qi Mingyin deliberately didn't look at Yi Qi Wanxi, lowered her head slightly and played with the teacup, as if talking to herself, "The second daughter of Qi Xiangying, the head of the Qi family, is Qi Tianyu's second sister, what is it called...... Qi Tianling. is just a concubine, but she is deeply liked by Qi Xiangying. The year before last, on your mother's birthday, the concubine also followed Qi Xiangying to Yiqi's mansion, at that time your second brother was at home, and the concubine fell in love with your second brother at first sight. Yi Qi Mingyin said, raised his head and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, his brows were tightly locked, and there was a little worry in his eyes, "But you know, your second brother is a soldier, he only thinks about national affairs, and he never cares about the love of his children, how can he have a sweetheart." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi was holding a teacup and was about to drink tea, but she also felt ridiculous when she heard the words, and chuckled: "My second brother categorically refused."

"Yes, your second brother really refused." Yi Qi Mingyin said, put the teacup on the table, sighed lightly, looked at Yi Qi Wanxi, and said, "But it was his refusal that caused trouble." ”

"Although I know that the second daughter of the Qi family is deeply liked by Uncle Qi, but in the end she is just a concubine, and she is not worthy of my second brother." Yi Qi said gracefully, raising her eyes to look at Yi Qi Mingyin, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, and there was a bit of ridicule hidden in that smile, "And there are countless women chasing my second brother, and that Qi Tianling is not a heavenly fragrance, how can he get into the eyes of my second brother." ”

Yi Qi Mingyin heard Yi Qi Wanxi say this, but she felt more and more angry, and her tone was also a little unhappy: "We all think so, but after Qi Tianling returned to Qi Mansion, he cried and made trouble, and said ruthlessly that unless your second brother does not marry, otherwise he will starve to death." Qi Xiangying thought that she was just talking, and she would forget it after that, but that Qi Tianling really locked herself in the house, not eating or drinking. Master Qi originally wanted to let her make trouble, but the concubine's mother-in-law, that is, Lord Qi's favorite concubine, couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked Master Qi to go to Yiqi's mansion to say goodbye, and she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself. The movement was so loud that Master Qi couldn't resist it, so he relied on her. Your father agreed because of his relationship with the Qi family. ”

Yi Qi was stunned, turned her head to look at Yi Qi Mingyin, and said suspiciously: "But I haven't heard that my second brother is married."

When Yi Qi Mingyin heard this, she glanced at Yi Qi Wanxi, but laughed, "Ah, but what kind of person is your second brother, how can he marry someone he doesn't like, and he turned around and retired from this family business behind your father's back." ”

Although Yi Qi Wanxi's heart trembled, she was very calm as if she knew, tilted her head slightly, and asked: "Although she is just a concubine, in the end she is the daughter of the Qi family, how can the second brother offend the Qi family by doing this?"

"As soon as the news of your second brother's matter spreads, the whole of Shanghai will know about it." Yi Qi Mingyin shook her head lightly and said, "The Qi family has lost face, so naturally there is a gap between the Yi Qi family." The matter between you and the eldest young master of the Qi family is almost cold. ”

Yi Qi Wanxi heard this, but asked lightly: "Then why is it not cold?" Didn't the eldest aunt speak for this? ”

"Ahh Yi Qi Mingyin said with a smile, "I'm just the lady of the Lin family, how can I say anything, the reason why you and the eldest young master of the Qi family have not changed, it's not that the eldest young master of the Qi family is an infatuated species, you don't marry." He is the only concubine of Master Qi, and Lord Qi apologizes to him for his biological mother's matter, and the matter of the concubine will pass quickly, so naturally he will not be stiff with him for this. ”

When Yi Qi heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and her cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't speak.

Seeing this, Yi Qi Mingyin smiled and said, "Hey, Wanxi, there are not many men like this, you have to cherish it."

"Tianyu he ......" Yi Qi stopped talking and stopped, pursed his lips and snickered, and said again after a long time, "Interesting." ”

Yi Qi Mingyin wanted to say something, but she smiled and said seriously: "I see that the eldest young master of the Qi family is sincere to you, you must not doubt this."

Yi Qi Wanxi knew that Yi Qi Mingyin saw people very accurately, and she also believed in Yi Qi Mingyin's words since she was a child. She said that she would not doubt it, she wanted her to believe in Qi Tianyu, and she would naturally believe in Qi Tianyu.

It's just that...... Yi Qi Wanxi sighed secretly, but said with a light smile: "Aunt Wanxi's words, Wanxi remembered."

"Just remember." Yi Qi Mingyin chuckled twice and said, "I, I've always regarded you as my own daughter, so I'm relieved if you're good." ”

"Wanxi knows."

When I was a child, my grandmother said to Yi Qi Wanxi, your aunt has always wanted a daughter, but she has never had a daughter, so she loves Yi Qi Wanxi very much. Although her mother and Yi Qi Wanxi said that people are always selfish, and the eldest aunt always favors her cousin, sometimes Yi Qi Wanxi feels that the eldest aunt is much better than her biological mother.

Yi Qi Wanxi thought of her mother's words, and suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen her cousin yet, so she asked, "Auntie, where is my cousin?"

"Your cousin, I went to Beijing with your eldest uncle." As soon as Yi Qi Mingyin's voice fell, the maid over there came over and saluted, "Madam, third miss, the food is ready."

Yi Qi Mingyin nodded, and smiled at Yi Qi Wanxi: "Let's go, go eat." As he spoke, he stood up with his hands on the armrest.

The corners of Yi Qi's mouth raised slightly, nodded slightly, put down the teacup, and got up with Yi Qi's voice.
