The first to come was Qi Huo, who was dressed in brocade clothes. This rich and noble son, no matter where he met, has always been so rich and noble, without losing his dignity. Although the number of times I saw Qi Huo was very few, I felt that today's Qi Huo seemed to be a little different.

Qi Maolin is slender, wearing a gray suit, very well maintained, at first glance much younger than his actual age, and has an elegant demeanor. It is far from the rumored image of the second master of the Qi family who has a perverse personality and will be retribution.

After Qi Huo finished introducing Qingxiao, Qi Maolin's attitude was not as bad as he imagined. One by one, the "niece" asked Yan Ye about the current situation in prison, and her attitude was gentle, and she did not mention the matter of Yan Zhai at all. The more Qi Maolin is like this, the more shallow he becomes. Fortunately, he was always accompanied by Bian Shaoxian and Qi Huo on the side, and Qing Qian did not feel particularly isolated.

The guests had arrived, and Qi Huo instructed the men to serve wine and food. It was October, and the dishes were mostly crabs, so he paid attention to Qi Maolin's face and listened to the guys reporting the names of the dishes on the side; Crab with sauce, baked crab, crab broccoli, drunken crab, crab with orange...... There are many tricks, and this Tingtao Pavilion is famous for making crab dishes. Looking up, the store's signature crab roe shark fin is the most colorful.

Qi Maolin's face did not change after listening to the guy's report, and he was slightly distracted, and he didn't seem to be paying attention to listening. Qi Huo sat down with Qi Maolin and said as if unintentionally: "Second uncle, this is specially prepared for you by Miss Yan." ”

Qi Maolin specially raised his head to see a shallow look.

Qing Qian stood up from his seat at the right time and raised his wine glass: "Uncle Qi, my niece takes this opportunity to toast you." ”

"The crab feast is accompanied by flower carvings, and my niece is bothered." Qi Maolin picked up the wine glass and smiled gently, his face soft.

Qing Qian's heart was stagnant, and the banquet was organized by Qi Huo and Bian Shaoxian. Qi Maolin said that he didn't understand very much, but just smiled humbly.

"Second Uncle Qi, since Miss Yan is so dedicated, you should also have some return gifts!" Bian Shaoxian couldn't bear it anymore, so he picked up a cup of crab roe shark fin and handed it to Qi Maolin.

"It's nature." Qi Maolin looked at Bian Shaoxian, with a smile on his face.

"Shaoxian! The feast hasn't even started yet. Qi Huo's face did not change, and he couldn't hear the tone of reproach.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The niece is so gracious, how can the contemptible not understand what it means? It's despicable that the old is disrespectful. Qi Maolin lit the silver double-ring briar pipe in his hand and chuckled. His expression was slightly relaxed.

"Uncle Qi is serious." Qing Qian hurriedly got up from his seat.

"The contemptible people insist on buying the mansion, but they have to suffer, and they hope that their niece will understand." Qing Qian looked at the pipe in Qi Maolin's hand, and the smoke seemed to have a streamer passing through the edge of the silver circle.

Thick clouds were rolling outside the window, thinking that a rainstorm was coming.

A shallow smile hangs at the corner of his mouth; "Uncle Qi, my niece is going to change hands on the Yan family's old mansion this time."

"Very good, very good." Qi Maolin seemed to have expected it, and only smiled slightly; "The niece is so refreshing, and the contemptible promise will never treat the Yan family badly in terms of bargaining. Ford! ”

Qi Maolin turned his head and called out to the servants outside.

"Uncle Fu just came back with you, all the way, I let him go down to drink." Qi Huo was silent all the time, and when he saw Qi Maolin shouting, he only said to the side.

"Second Uncle Qi, let's eat first! We'll talk about that later. Bian Shaoxian was on the side to help.

"Third Young Master Bian, you are extraordinarily dedicated today!" Qi Maolin glanced at Bian Shaoxian, half teasingly.

"Second Uncle Qi, isn't this for your business?" Bian Shaoxian was slightly uncomfortable.

"For the sake of the little woman, Qi Shao and Bian Shao have bothered." Qing Qian raised his wine glass, wanting to toast to Qi Huobian Shaoxian.

"Miss Yan's affairs can be found in Ah Fu. The old man traveled far away, and was brought here by Huo Er before he entered the house, and he was a little tired. I won't accompany each other. Qi Maolin suddenly got up and turned around to leave.

"What, is the second uncle going to leave just after he comes?" Qi Huo raised his wine glass and tasted it, and the corners of his mouth actually hooked up a mocking smile.

"The second uncle won't be an accompaniment, you young people are not there with me, the old man, you are at ease." The corners of Qi Maolin's mouth twitched slightly, and he had already stood up from his seat.

Qing Qian's expressions of Qi Maolin and Qi Huo were slightly puzzled, and he was about to turn his eyes to see Bian Shaoxian. Under the table, Bian Shaoxian had already clenched his shallow hand.

"Second uncle, let's leave after eating!" Qi Huo played with the wine glass in his hand and said casually. Outside the door, a few strong men in Tsing Yi suddenly poured in, and they peeked out to see that it was the diner you had just seen in Your Excellency.

"Qi Huo, what do you want to do?" Qi Maolin's eyes were coldly directed at Qi Huo.

"Miss Yan is so expensive, how can the second uncle not appreciate it?" Qi Huo completely ignored Qi Maolin's outrage.

"Okay." Qi Maolin said a good word, and the corner of his mouth sneered. Suddenly turned around and "bang", his hands had already flipped over the mahogany round table in front of him. The cups and plates on the table are crushed, and the wine and food are spilled. Fortunately, Bian Shaoxian's eyes were quick, so he grabbed Qing Qian and hurriedly jumped to the side.

"Miss Yan's kindness, why is this second uncle?" Qi Huo smiled at the corner of his mouth, and still sat on the chair without changing his face.

The position at the door has been blocked by a strong man in Tsing Yi, the wine jar has been broken, and the room is mixed with the fragrance of chrysanthemums and the fragrance of flowers. The singer had already shrunk into a corner in fright, crying. Qi Maolin looked around the room, suddenly calmed down, and smiled coldly; "Heh, the eldest brother really raised a good son. I'd like to see how you're going to entertain your second uncle? ”

"The second uncle has worked hard for the Qi family for half his life, and it is time to spend his old age in peace." Qi Huo signaled slightly, and two big men came up to restrain Qi Maolin and go out the door.

"Miss Yan." Before going out, Qi Maolin suddenly turned his head and shouted to Qing Qian.

"Uncle Qi?" Qing Qian stood beside Bian Shaoxian, still a little frightened.

"Take care."

"Huh?" Qi Maolin had a pitiful look on his face, and he didn't know if he was pitying himself or her.

After Qi Maolin was restrained, calm returned to the pavilion.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a roaring thunder. After a while, the downpour began to fall rapidly. The wooden windows were not closed properly, swaying from side to side in the strong wind, "popping" against the walls.

"If Miss Yan still wants to sell the Yan family's mansion, she can talk to me in detail." Qi Huo stood in the messy hall for a moment, and returned to a solemn expression. After saying this, he also left.

In front of the window, big drops of rain fell in, and the wooden eaves on the window could no longer stop the invasion of the rain. The rain hit his hands, cold and silent.

Outside the window, the torrential rain continued, and the fishermen fishing on Mianhu Lake had long since disappeared, leaving only a few fishing boats to stop on the shore. The distant mountains were covered in smoke and only some outlines could be discerned. Farther it dissolves into a rich ink. Looking down at the bottom of the mountain, the black umbrella of Qi Huo and his party loomed among the mountain and forest roads.

"Why don't you come with them?" Qing Qian couldn't tell if this voice was his own.

"It's not what you think, it happened suddenly, and I didn't know that my brother-in-law had such a plan." Bian Shaoxian stood in front of the chrysanthemum stand, and his voice was extremely eager.

"The Qi family is infighting, let me, an outsider, be the east. I can only pray that Second Master Qi will not have anything happen to me now, otherwise, the first person to find this is my Yan family. Young Master Bian, is your line getting more and more chaotic? Qing Qian's hand grasped the window lattice, and his nails pressed the wooden strips. was already angry and afraid, but used a brisk voice to appease Bian Shaoxian.

"I'm sorry, my brother-in-law promised me that I would not embarrass you...... Rest assured, if something happens, I will give my life to protect you. Bian Shaoxian's face was ashamed, and when he said the next words, his tone became extremely firm.

"It doesn't matter, I'm sure you don't know. Let's go back! "The chrysanthemums on the flower shelves are blooming delicately, just passing through the wind, three or two branches are slightly inclined to one side, and the buds are low and lose their vitality. Qing Qian looked at Bian Shaoxian, who was standing in front of the flower, and couldn't bear to say anything more, after all, Qi Huo was still his brother-in-law.
