CHAPTER XV
When she left, Qi Han whispered, "How is your master so weird." ”
"Oh......" I nodded, "I feel a little ...... too"
Qi Han thought thoughtfully: "The way she looks at you is different from before. It's like the way that woman looked at us when we were still in the Qi family. ”
That woman, of course, was referring to the new lady that Qi Taisheng married. I haven't seen that woman, but Qi Han's description is very true-how did Bai Wan suddenly change from a gentle and amiable master to a lukewarm stepmother?
Qi Han lowered his voice and said, "I see, your master is jealous of you. ”
"Jealous of me?"
"Hmm. We have been in the villa for a long time, although Mrs. Bai Wan looks kind, but according to the sisters, she is not so generous. You see, although you are her apprentice, this time Senior Ji went out with you and didn't take her, and now he wants to teach and cultivate you and leave her aside. If you were a big-hearted person, you wouldn't be angry about this. But Mrs. Bai Wan's face now obviously can't think about it. ”
I was in a trance, remembering the cold and depressed look at the corners of Bai Wan's eyebrows and eyes just now, as if something was flashing through my mind quickly. But when I thought about it, I couldn't think of it.
"Xiao Sheng, Xiao Sheng, what's wrong?"
"It's fine."
Qi Han took my hand and continued to walk forward, whispering, "What I said scared you?" Don't be afraid, you now have Ji seniors to take care of and teach, and your aunt is here, Mrs. Bai Wan is at most showing us white eyes, she can't bully you, she will never be like that woman...... Don't be afraid. ”
Qi Han put away the covering clothes for me, and told me for a long time. She had seen everything in front of and behind the house, and was quite satisfied: "This courtyard is more spacious and quiet than our original one, and this house is good." Senior Ji is a big man, and it is inconvenient, my aunt said, I will send someone over to take care of you later. You have to be more careful, and don't kick the quilt when you go to bed at night. There's a pond behind this house, don't go over by yourself, don't fall down......"
I nodded like a chicken pecking rice, Qi Han usually didn't have so many words.
"I'm going to eat at my aunt's in the evening, you haven't seen her since you came back, have you?"
"Well, when we came back, my aunt had a guest there." I whispered, "Sister, do you know who this person is?" I heard that the surname is Min. ”
Qi Han straightened my braids: "Well, it's a distant guest." Maybe you can see you again at night, be sensible and polite, and don't make people laugh. ”
The maid sent by my aunt to take care of me was called Chu Xue, who was white and pure, with thin eyebrows and eyes, and looked like she was twelve or thirteen years old. If the girl has anything, tell me. ”
I smiled at her, I had seen her at my aunt before, but I hadn't spoken.
"Girl, are you going to the front yard for dinner? Shall I comb your hair again? ”
I nodded, and she smiled and sat me down, taking out a wooden comb and combing my hair. She is very skillful and meticulous in doing this, unlike Qi Han who often makes me feel pain when she combs my hair.
She combed my braids, and when I looked in the mirror, it was much stronger than my own, my hair looked smooth and neat, and my braids were tied tightly.
In the evening, two tables of wine and food were set, and our juniors sat at a table alone, Shigong, Yan San'er, and Aunt and Mrs. Bai Wan sat at a table, and there was a person I didn't know, who was not very old and polite.
I glanced at him a few times, Qi Han pulled me, and I hurriedly sat up straight.
But I didn't look at him, and he came to our table: "This...... It's Qi Jing, right? ”
Qi Jing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to give a salute: "I've seen Uncle Min." ”
"You're welcome. I heard that you live here now, and when I came I thought you would see you. When you were born, I went to Daohe. Your father has the firstborn, and he is so happy that he is incoherent. More than 10,000 red eggs were sent on Qijia Island alone......"
Qi Han looked at me, and I looked at her. There was loss and displeasure in her eyes, and I could only make a look of ignorance and incomprehension.
This Min Guanbai has a svenile appearance, and he doesn't understand the world very well. Our current situation can be different from what it used to be, and we are sending people under the fence here. He mentioned that the Qi family was both untimely and unreasonable, and he added to the blockage for nothing.
"Is this your sister?"
Qi Jing had no choice but to say: "This is the eldest sister Qi Han, and this is the younger sister Qi Sheng." Come on, I've seen Uncle Min soon. ”
Qi Han and I could only get up to salute him, and then hung our heads and stood aside.
"Well, they're all good boys, and they've grown so big in a blink of an eye......"
"Min Guan, come and sit down," Yan San'er beckoned to him, he didn't smile at outsiders, but now he was quite gentle, and his smile neutralized the fierce aura emanating from his body.
Min Guan hurriedly agreed, went over and sat down, the wine and food were placed in the pavilion on the water, and the evening breeze blew the veil fluttering. Qi Han sandwiched the vegetables for me and put them in my bowl: "The hoof crisp you like, eat it quickly." ”
I took a bite and smiled at her. However, although this hoof cake has a rich salty and crispy aroma, I don't think it tastes very good. Maybe it was Qi Sheng's favorite in the past. I prefer sweeter, lighter food.
At the table over there, Mrs. Bai Wan was asking Min Guan: "The old lady has always been in good health?" ”
Min Guan put down his chopsticks and replied seriously: "My aunt is very good, but she is old and lazy. ”
Bai Wan smiled and asked again, "Is Sect Master Min good?" ”
"My brother is in good health, but he has been doing a lot of chores lately...... My brother has always been worried about his sister-in-law......"
The aunt intercepted his words: "I'm not your sister-in-law anymore, doesn't your brother have two ladies now, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Shuang?" ”
"Sister-in-law, you and your brother are not separated, the two rooms were taken by your aunt for your brother, but they are for the sake of the heirs...... My brother still respects you in his heart and misses your ......"
This man really doesn't look at people's eyes, and he can't pick the right time to speak.
Who made him here? That person didn't want my aunt to go back to the Min family, and sent such a person who had more than enough success and more than enough failure, sour, dumbfounded, and said good things, but every word made people uncomfortable to listen to.
Mrs. Bai Wan is too, isn't it okay to ask these words. The aunt herself was calm and calm, as if it was not her business.
"Xiaosheng, eat."
I came back to my senses and took a few bites of food, but I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the table.
Shigong never said a word from beginning to end, and he didn't move his chopsticks much. Although he sat at the wine table, his expression was as calm as if he was in a state of calm. He seemed to notice my gaze and looked up at me. Those eyes were dark and deep like a deep pool, as if if I looked at it for a few more moments, and I would fall into it completely, I was in a trance for a moment, and hurriedly buried my head to concentrate on eating.
