Luo Lianfang has always been famous, and has more or less shown her talent in the banquets held by many aristocratic families.

is not only a good handwriting hand, but also a good hand, and she is also quite happy in front of the queen mother, so on the whole, Luo Lianfang is a proper noblewoman in the capital. If a man from any family is lucky enough to be able to marry Luo Lianfang, it will be a blessing that he has cultivated for several lifetimes.

Of course, the other party is also quite high-spirited, and no one really looks down on him.

So after a long time, many people also tacitly believe that Qi Qingchu and Luo Lianfang are a couple.

I just don't know when Qi Fu came to the door to propose.

Neither of the two families gave a clear attitude to such rumors, and neither of them laughed it off and did not comment. The attitude is even somewhat ambiguous, neither acknowledging nor refuting.

But who knows what it will look like in the end? Who knows how things will change?

Li Jicai went on strike again the next morning, and the employees said that their bosses were really willful, so why didn't they want to do it? If you are lazy, what will you do in business in the future?

The second boss, even if you are lazy to sleep, you haven't taken office in high school, and now should be the time to be happy, but the big boss is different, the shopkeeper, but he wears many hats, and the boss of Suiyuanju is such a one.

Niu Runze stood at the door of Li Jicai's room with black lines on his face, he didn't know whether he should knock on the door or not, and then woke up the boss.

After all, when he went to Li Jiye's room and told him to get up early for breakfast, the other party complained for a long time, saying that they had been busy all night last night and received some guests, if it weren't for the messy dishes in the kitchen, he really wouldn't have believed Li Jiye's words. Because Suiyuan does not have the habit of doing business at night.

The man who got up later also proved what Li Jiye said, indeed, two men came to the store to eat last night, and the boss and them were attentive and thoughtful, and they had just fallen asleep in the second half of the night.

Hearing this, Niu Runze had to give up and call Li Jicai up, just let him sleep, and wait until he woke up, he said last time that he was going to visit the real owner of this shop, pay the corresponding rent, and send some gifts by the way. Since he didn't open his doors for business today, he thought it would be a good day.

In the golden autumn of October, the courtyard is deep, and the leaves under the feet of the tall and luxuriant trees are piled up in a thick layer, and there is a crisp creaking sound when stepping on it.

In Xi's house, the sun shone into his bed through Xi Zien's window, and the warmth gradually spread around, silently waking up the sleeping person.

Li Jicai's wine was a little strong, and after a hangover, he felt that his headache was about to burst, which was very uncomfortable.

I don't know who has quietly come in, and took a small wooden stool with a bowl of decanting soup on it.

It must have been done quietly by one of his well-behaved concubines, which is really considerate.

Xi Zien thought about it, but he soon couldn't laugh, because he found out, and unconsciously there was a black shadow standing in front of him, and this black shadow was exuding anger, this person was none other than his tigress-like mother.

Xi Zien is not afraid of anyone, but he is afraid of his mother, in their family, his mother is the most effective in speaking, and she also disciplines him the most.

His mother's surname was Qin, and she was a descendant of military generals, and she didn't know why her father fell in love with him, so she married him home, and then they were born.

Among the three sons, he is the only one who often gets punishment, but he is also the youngest son that his mother loves the most. Usually Xi Zien's playboy prodigal appearance has not been scolded by her anger, of course, there are times when he does not scold him.

For example, when he stayed with Qi Qingchu, how satisfied his mother was with him.

Because in his eyes, Qi Qingchu is an exemplary existence no matter what, and Xi Zien should be the object of learning, and there are no fewer things sent to Qi Mansion in the mansion, and all kinds of things are sent, and the gifts for the holidays have never been broken. The relationship between the two families has always been very good.

"Mother!" Xi Zien could feel his mother, and she was accumulating anger, as if she was about to explode, and some of the feelings of mountain rain were about to come, which was really terrifying.

After thinking about it, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong. But his mother stood straight in front of his bed, indicating that he must have done something wrong.

Xi Zien's mother didn't speak, just looked at him coldly, and then said very unhappily: "Where did you go last night?" ”

"Huh? This one, this one, this one didn't go anywhere, huh? Xi Zien didn't react when he was asked, but he still subconsciously denied it.

"Did you go out with Qing Chu?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's for sure!" Xi Zien nodded hurriedly, as long as Qi Qingchu was the shield, it would definitely be no problem, and he would definitely not be implicated, so he moved Qi Qingchu out without hesitation, of course, he was originally going out with him!

"Hmph, then it must be you!"

"Huh? What?! Xi Zien suddenly felt that Monk Zhang Er was at a loss, what was he? How he felt as if something was wrong.

"Mother, what do you mean by that?"

"Today I heard that Qing Chu said that he was sick and took leave, saying that he was unwell and had already asked for a doctor, and I heard that I went back very late last night, what did you do to others?" Mrs. Xi said with some dissatisfaction.

It's not that he suspects that his son really did anything bad, after all, he ran out of his belly, and he knows what character, but sometimes it's really naughty, naughty, and headaches, it's just a child who doesn't grow up, it's not that I heard that people are sick at the beginning of the day, so I'm afraid that my son will make trouble.

"Huh? How can a good person get sick? It was fine last night! ”

"Tell me honestly, what the hell did you do last night?"

"I didn't do anything, I went out with him on official business before, At this time, I was stopped by the owner of a restaurant, and I had to let us go to his store to eat, and then I went with him to eat a little late, and after eating, we went back separately."

"Did you drink too much at the beginning of the day? I heard that his drinking power is not very good. ”

"Not much, not much, he hasn't drunk a few glasses, don't listen to people's nonsense at the moment, it must be pretending, how can it be good and get sick, he must have something, I'll get up in a while and go to his house to have a look." Xi Zien waved his hand and said surely.

"You said you too, people haven't drunk a few glasses, why can't you get up after drinking? Look at you like this, you are not allowed to drink outside anymore in the future, or are you scared to bring you back, is it a shame? ”

“…… Yes, yes, mother, the child knows. Xi Zien didn't dare to hit him in his mother's anger.

"When you go back to Qi Mansion, bring more gifts, and by the way, help me greet Old Man Qi and Mrs. Qi."

"Ah......" Xi Zien was a little embarrassed, he was a little afraid of Qi Qingchu's grandfather, the other party's aura was too strong, he was a junior, he was afraid of him.

"Ahhhh Do you hear that?! You can't have no rules at all, you must know that you go out to represent the face of my Xi family. As he spoke, he began to want to educate him a few more words.

Xi Zien waved his hand hurriedly, then nodded and promised to visit.

In fact, he didn't believe in Qi Qingchu's illness at all, he definitely didn't want to go to the court, knowing that there was another mess in the court today, so he avoided it.

In fact, it is not because of politics, the affairs of the shops in the casino involve the interests of some people, so it will cause fierce disputes.

In this, Qi Qingchu, as the main leader in promoting commercial taxation, will inevitably receive many open guns and hidden sticks in it.

However, how smart is Qi Qingchu? His Majesty wants to use him, and he himself wants to protect himself, and there are many ways to deal with it, such as pretending to be sick today, he knows him too well.

Xi Zien thought of it self-righteously, but since he promised his mother today, he would bring a gift to Qi Mansion to visit Qi Qingchu when he got up.

Because of his title, Xi Zien actually has a lot of freedom, if he uses the excuse of running errands today, then he doesn't have to go to court, to a certain extent, this is his privilege.

"Okay, then I'll get the butler ready when I go back, and then send it to you, and you can get up and wash it for me."

"Yes......" Xi Zien didn't dare to refute his mother's words at all, for fear of angering him, and he didn't have any good fruit to eat.

The many wives and concubines in the family are also entrusted to the management of his mother, so that there is no chaos and chaos, and it will save him a lot of things in the future, in addition to being stricter, his mother is still very indulgent to him most of the time.

After Mrs. Xi got the right words, she didn't want to talk nonsense with her son anymore, so she simply turned around and left, the door was slammed, which scared Xi Zien's spirits, and the whole person woke up, and no longer felt confused.

This side is talking about the affairs of the Qi Mansion, and the Qi Mansion is in a mess, because the young master of his own house said that he was not feeling well, and the doctor in the house said that he didn't say anything why, so he went outside to find the doctor, but the doctor he found was not clear.

In fact, the main reason is that they can't see what's wrong with Qi Qingchu's body? Because Qi Qingchu said that he had a headache, lack of energy, no strength in his body, and was upset and nauseated.

But judging from the pulse, after some looking and asking, I didn't find anything wrong. But they didn't dare to say it, because the patient called them to come to see the doctor, and naturally they were let come because they were sick.
