Chapter 7: Full Moon I
Shigong led me to the south again, and I couldn't help but ask, "Shigong, where are we going?" β
He glanced at me: "Qi family." β
Qi family?
It can't be the Qi family, right? Is it the Qi family that Qi Taisheng was?
What to do there?
It can't be that my master dislikes me and wants to throw me back to the Qi family to fend for myself, right?
No, it won't.
Although he still refused to say a word, if he didn't value me, he wouldn't have taken me out this time, nor would he take me to Leijiazhuang, let alone urge me to practice illusions so severely along the way.
"Master, actually...... I don't remember much about the Qi family. β
He glanced at me.
"The last time my brother and sister took me out of Qi's house, I was seriously injured and didn't recover for several days. But after that, I can't remember a lot of things. β
He turned his head away, still expressionless. But it seems that I should accept my statement.
We got on a boat, and the Qi family was on an island in the middle of the lake. There are fishing boats on the lake, but they all avoid the island, and the idlers can't go up. The fisherman rocked the boat and said, "This boy, we can't go any further, are we going east or west?" β
I looked ahead, and the hookah on the lake was vast, and I could faintly see the outline of the island, which was huge, with lush trees, and a faint shadow of pavilions.
Shigong pointed forward: "Go there." β
The boatman agreed, and he didn't seem to notice that the direction he was pointing was the direction he was heading to the island, and he rowed hard.
There are formations around the island, and this is just a piece of cake for Shigong. The boatman rocked the boat to the near shore, and the master paid the fare, picked me up and jumped onto the shore.
Although I said that I had returned home, I was not familiar with this Qi family at all, and I didn't have any sense of intimacy.
This Qi family is really stylish, this island is not the kind of small island with a radius of only one hundred and ten steps, I am afraid it is much bigger than Lady Qingluan's mansion in Yunxian.
Shi Gong walked forward, and he didn't see how fast he was walking, but as soon as he took a step, the scenery on both sides moved back rapidly, and the mansion that was far away just now suddenly came to his eyes.
The tall stone statue stood in front of the door, and the shadow dragged long on the ground, and I looked up, unsure of what this snake-like thing or a little dragon-like thing was.
"Don't you remember this? The ancestor of the Qi family was blessed by the dragon, and the last time Qi Tai was born, his hair crown was also like this. β
At that time, I was nervous, and I couldn't care to see the crown pattern on his head.
As we continued to walk inward, the Qi family seemed to be having a happy event, the door was open, and people were coming and going. A man greeted us politely: "I don't know this ......"
Shigong only glanced at him, and the man was in a trance for a moment, and then retreated with a smile on his face: "Ah, please come in quickly, distinguished guest." β
"What's going on here?"
Shigong's footsteps did not stop, and he led me directly into the door.
The Qi family was beaming with joy, and the pillars were wrapped in sprinkled gold and red paper, and I looked left and right, and heard someone from a distance, as if they were saying something like "happy to be a noble son" and "happy to be full of moon" or something like that.
Uh, is it......
Shigong said indifferently: "Your father has another son, and today he will have a full moon wine." β
So what are we going to do? Do you want to congratulate you?
This is not like the frame of the master going to the island to enter the door, which is obviously the kind of uninvited guest.
That new lady gave birth to a son? This full moon wine is such a big pomp.
Master Shi led me into the main hall, which was tall and spacious, and there were already many guests in it, talking together in twos and threes.
We sat down in the corner, and I grabbed a handful of sesame candy from the fruit bowl on the table, and handed it to my grandfather flatteringly: "Master, you eat." β
He shook his head.
I didn't really plan to give it to him, just to be polite. It's better if he doesn't want it, I'll eat it myself.
I lifted the teapot and poured tea for both my master and myself, and ate sesame candy with the tea. The desk in front of the hall was already full of gifts from these guests, and I felt a little unbalanced. Although I am not the real Qi Sheng, I am also unhappy for Qi Jing and Qi Han.
This Qi family no longer has a place for our three brothers and sisters, and the new lady has already secured the position of the main mother and gave birth to a son. In addition to the surname Qi, we have nothing to do with this Qi family. Even if there wereβit would be hatred, not grace.
The guests sat together if they knew each other, and there were people at our adjacent table, who didn't look like they had any background, and they were very ordinary in their dressing and demeanor, and people with status naturally wouldn't squeeze into the corners to sit. There were more and more guests, and I still vaguely heard two gossip.
"I said, although the lady in front of me is gone, she doesn't leave the three young ladies behind......
"Shhhh Don't mention that today. β
"How...... What else is there to be taboo about? β
Another person lowered his voice and said: "The children left by the previous lady are no longer in the Qi family, and they said that they were sent to other places to learn art, but in fact, who doesn't know, it is just hindering the eyes of this new lady......"
"Don't say it, don't say it, I'm here to eat full moon wine today, how can I have so many words."
In other words, these people do not mean to seek justice and justice for anyone.
The master held the teacup with two fingers, did not drink the tea, did not make a sound, and sat quietly. I have no doubt that he can sit like this until dark, for ten days and a half without moving.
I'm a little curious, how beautiful Qi Taisheng's filling house is, and he can be fascinated by ignoring the relationship between father and son, father and daughter. Or is it that the new lady has a big background, and that Mrs. Weiqi is not easy to mess with?
The hall was almost full, and I counted in my heart that each table could seat eight people, and there were more than 100 tables in the hall, counting that there were thousands of guests. The case for placing gifts has long been out of place, and there are servants coming in and out, putting some more precious congratulatory gifts on them, and deliberately placing them in conspicuous positions. Four servants came in carrying a gift that was a man tall, and it was covered with a big red silk, which was large enough, but it was covered with silk, and no one knew what the gift was underneath. It's just that the butler instructed the servant to carry the gift to the center and put it in the center, so it can be seen that this must be the most valuable gift received today.
The gongs and drums outside sounded, the firecrackers crackled and played very lively, and when the gongs and drums and firecrackers stopped together, the people in the hall all fell silent and stopped talking.
There was a man who came out of the back hall and stood in the middle of the position, although I had only met once, but of course I recognized Qi Taisheng. He looked completely different from the gloomy expression of the last time, his red face was full of joy, and he was hugging his fist group: "Relatives and friends have come from afar, and they have lost their welcome." β
Everyone returned the salute one after another, and the hall was in an uproar, and it took a while to finish greeting and sit down.
ββββββββββββ
Coughing in a fishy throat...... Woo, I remember that I also had a bad cold at this time last year, why is it like this at this time?
Well, the good news is that Big Orange came back today, and after the auscultation, the doctor said that the lungs were much better, and there was no need for infusion, just take medicine...... TOT, it's so good~~
