Qi Anya has been in Jingzhou for more than a few months, except for sometimes going to the mansion of the lord of Shucheng County with her eldest sister Qi Anrou. She and her are working as female workers at home, not just chatting in the yard. And at this time, as usual, in the courtyard, I saw a person hurrying over, came to them, paused for a while, and then said, "Miss, second miss." Someone from the palace is in the hall, and the lord asks you to go over and have a look. ”

Qi Anya frowned when she heard someone from the palace. Qi Anrou also frowned when she heard this, and then she didn't say anything, just led Qi Anya to the hall. When they arrived, they just saw a familiar person, Qi Anya first walked up to him, the person saluted, and she also saluted back: "Good father-in-law"

This person is a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and during the few days he lived in the palace, he took care of Qi Anya, so Qi Anya's impression of him was also very good. The man also saluted Qi Anrou before saying, "County master, the slave came this time by the will of the Queen Mother. ”

Qi Anya glanced at Qi Anrou before saying, "Father-in-law, why did the Queen Mother let you come?" ”

The father-in-law immediately replied: "The county lord will be your birthday next month, and you also know the rules of the royal family, the queen mother said that she missed you, and asked the Ministry of Rites to give you a birthday in the palace, so that you can go back to the palace with the slaves." ”

Qi Anya frowned when she heard this, she wanted to go to Kyoto to visit the eldest princess of the Queen Mother who missed her and everyone in the Qi family. It's just that she was afraid to see Wang Yijun, the person in her heart. Qi Anrou didn't know why she was embarrassed when she returned to Kyoto, she walked to her side and comforted: "Ya'er, the Queen Mother misses you, and it's your birthday, you can still return to Jingzhou if you go." ”

Qi Anya was a little flustered at this time, frowning and never letting go. Looking at Qi Anrou's eyes, she seemed to see hope. "I, I. It's not that I don't want to go, I'm just reluctant to let my sister and father go. My daughter's birthday should be with my father, but my birthday was with someone else. ”

Master Qi looked at the two of them, and in the past few months, he had already regarded Qi Anya as his little daughter. He rolled his eyes and said, "Father can't accompany you, but the eldest sister is like a father." It's been a long time since Rou'er has been to visit your grandmother in Kyoto, so you accompany your sister so that Ya'er doesn't have any worries. ”

Qi Anya grabbed Qi Anrou's hand tightly, and only heard Qi Anrou's father. They all looked at Master Qi, and Master Qi nodded and said, "Don't worry, for your father, you have to be accompanied by a housekeeper, everything is assured, you can go." Besides, it's not like you're not going back to Jingzhou, it's a great honor for you to celebrate your birthday with the Queen Mother, go ahead. ”

The father-in-law had been watching it for a long time, so he said a few words: "Yes, Miss County Lord, the lord is accompanied by someone at home, and besides, the lord is very tough, and he will come back in a few days." The lord also reassured the county lord and the young lady, the queen mother asked the palace guards to come with the minions, and the road was safe. ”

Master Qi bowed to his father-in-law and said, "Everything is dragged to my father-in-law, and my father-in-law is tired of letting the two of them prepare." I have asked my servants to prepare a few glasses of wine and eat a few glasses before setting off. Father-in-law please"

After Mr. Qi finished speaking, he was about to lead his father-in-law out, and patted the two of them on the shoulder before leaving. Qi Anya let go when she saw the two of them go, and Qi Anrou saw her lose her mind for the first time, so she didn't say anything, so she asked people to pack a few clothes and prepare to go to Kyoto.

The group of them did not know how many days it took to arrive in Kyoto after the carriage was bumpy. Qi Anya knew that she had entered the city, so she lifted the curtain and watched the Kyoto market come and go as usual. After a while, the car stopped, and only heard the conversation between Qi Liansheng and his father-in-law, and they knew that they had arrived at Qi's mansion.

Wouldn't just see someone lift the curtain, Qi Anrou stood up first and went out, and she followed closely when she saw this. Qi Anya got out of the car and looked around, still so familiar. Qi Liansheng took out a purse with bulging silver from his sleeve, handed it to his father-in-law, and exchanged a few words of greeting, and his father-in-law got into the carriage again and left with the team.

Qi Liansheng saw Qi Anya and Qi Anrou come forward and saluted, and said, "Eldest sister, it's been hard all the way, let's go to the mansion first." ”

Qi Anrou nodded, holding Qi Anya's hand in her hand. I only saw that two minions were half-running in first, and it should have been to inform them that they had arrived. Qi Liansheng said something to Qi Anrou, Qi Anya looked around and didn't hear what they were talking about, only heard that the two of them were very happy.

No, I arrived in the main hall, and saw that the main seat was sitting with Mrs. Qi, and on both sides of the lower seat were Guangluqing Qi Yue and his wife. Qi Anrou saw that Qi Anya was a little flustered, so she pulled her, walked to the hall, and saluted when she came to them, and Qi Anya followed when she saw this. Although Qi Anya is the county lord, she told the three of them earlier in Kyoto that family rites are better than state rites. After they finished the ceremony, Mrs. Qi said, "It's been hard all the way." ”

Qi Anrou opened her mouth first and said respectfully: "There were some bumps on the road, but I finally arrived home." ”

Mrs. Qi stood up and said with a smile, "Old lady, master." It was a bumpy road, so let the two of them go to freshen up for a few moments, and we were chatting about family routines. Otherwise, if the two young ladies are tired, don't you feel distressed? ”

Qi Yue still sat and didn't say anything, but saw Old Madam Qi nodding and saying, "Okay, you go with them." ”

Mrs. Qi saluted them and led them to the backyard. Qi Anya watched as Mrs. Qi took them not in the direction of her previous house, but to another courtyard, which he had never been to before. When they entered the courtyard and arrived at the master bedroom, Qi Anrou looked around, as if they had been here before, and Mrs. Qi led them into the house. said to Qi Anrou, who was looking around: "Anrou, that's right, this is your mother's residence before her death. After you and your brother left, the old lady of this courtyard ordered that the two of you would come back and let the servants clean it every day. Now you're back, master of this house. ”

Qi Anya hadn't heard of this courtyard, she looked at Qi Anrou and it turned out that she also had a story in her heart. Qi Anrou saluted Mrs. Qi again, and cried a little: "Thank you Auntie for cleaning this yard, I am a little rude, I hope Auntie will not be surprised." ”

Mrs. Qi looked sad here, and quipped: "What is not strange to see, what is not thankful." We are a family, you two hurry up and freshen up, and then rest, and when the meal is ready, I will have someone come and pick you up. ”

After speaking, he looked at the servants beside him and said, "You guys are serving well, you are all taking care of the two young ladies in this house these days." ”

The subordinates present shouted yes in unison, and Mrs. Qi left here with the servants beside her. Qi Anya helped Qi Anrou, who was still sad, to sit down, paused for a while, and said, "Sister, I didn't know that letting you come would make you so sad." ”

Qi Anrou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and then smiled again: "I don't blame you, I have to come back sooner or later, it's the same if you come early or late, let you see the joke." ”

Qi Anya shook her head, sat beside her, took her hand and said, "It's not a joke"

Qi Anrou looked around again, touched the seat in her hand, and said, "When I was a child, my family lived here, and I knew that my mother was not a child of the official eunuch family since I was a child, so I didn't like my grandmother. My mother died of illness that year, and it was only a hundred days, and my grandmother asked my father to remarry, even though my father was unwilling, but my grandmother privately agreed to the family. My father was locked in this yard by my grandmother when he found out, and it was my uncle, who let me and my father go at night, and we have been in our hometown. ”

Qi Anya was a little slow after hearing this, in her eyes, Old Madam Qi was not such a difficult person. Qi Anrou said again: "But grandma didn't chase her hometown, she should have a hard time, and now that several years have passed, we should be able to let go." ”

They had been talking for a while, and then they saw the servants coming with their fresheners.
