Chapter 12 Door-to-door visits
There were a lot of people standing in front of the gate of Qi Mansion, led by Qi Shangshu, and behind him stood a black and pressed family, in the past, there must have been distinguished guests coming to the door, but today there is less of the appearance of the lanterns in the past, it is estimated that it is because the wind is too loud during this time, and Qi Qin is a cautious person.
"Are you sure you're coming over today?" Qi Qin asked again impatiently, after all, no matter how capable his subordinates are, they will make mistakes, he doesn't trust anyone, only he can be relied on.
"Yes, sir, I've already replied to the post over there, saying that it will be there in the afternoon." Chang An, the personal servant beside Qi Qin, whispered cautiously, the plain cloth black clothes he was wearing were in stark contrast to Qi Qin's brocade clothes.
As if he had discovered something, Qi Qin stared at him dissatisfiedly for a while, and then said lightly: "Didn't you pay the monthly money?" Dressed like a charcoal seller, so depressed, do you want to lose my face? Well? ”
Chang An lowered his head, didn't dare to meet those shrewd and sharp eyes, and hurriedly whispered: "The slave will change it immediately." After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, this Qi Shangshu is approaching, and people are becoming more and more difficult to serve, and the clothes on his body are obviously standard in the house.
Before Qi Qin could respond, the sound of horses striding came from not far outside the mansion gate, and the pedestrians on the road couldn't help but speed up their steps and hide to the side.
Hearing Le Ma's voice, Qi Qin was overjoyed in his heart, here!
The family members who felt this change also cheered up, and their faces tried their best to show joy and eagerness, which made people see that they were really enthusiastic, this is the "façade" specially trained by Qi Qin and Qi Shangshu. "It's a bit famous in Shaoliang City.
Qi Qin walked down the steps and greeted him excitedly, and blurted out before he got close: "Hey, King Guanghan is here, our house is really full of splendor, and it's full of splendor!" However, there was also a man who dismounted with Ning Ze, and he couldn't help but pretend to be like Fengxue squinted his eyes and rubbed his eyes and said, "This is ...... His Royal Highness the Prince! There is a long way to go! It's a long way off! Qi Qin jumped up excitedly.
Although this Prince Ji Nan has a very good relationship with Qi Shu of his own family, he has not been to his own door much, so naturally he can't get astringent, and it is inevitable that he will cause misunderstandings if he climbs too high, so Qi Shangshu has always been cautious.
"Well, Qi Shangshu is this? Where are you going? Ji Nan knew that this Qi Qin must have learned that Ning Ze was coming, and looking at this battle, his kung fu had improved a little more.
"The prince misunderstood, when the minister was reading silently in the study today, he heard the bin queer calling non-stop, and the chatter was very lively, and he knew at a glance that there must be a happy event coming to the door, no, it is now confirming the minister's conjecture."
Not to mention, this nonsense is one of the best in the Qi family in Shaoliang City.
On a snowy and cold day, Ning Ze didn't want to freeze at the gate, after all, he was still concerned about Qi Shu's illness, so this polite remark would be forgiven. The sharp-eyed Qi Qin was slightly unhappy when he saw Ning Ze's face turned pale and frozen, and he was shocked in his heart, knowing that something bad was wrong, so it was important to quickly invite people in.
"Please, please, please!" Qi Qin hurriedly waved his hand, signaling the family to come over and invite the distinguished guests in, and the others had already returned to the mansion to prepare hot tea and desserts, ready to serve.
Ji Nan glanced at Ning Ze, thinking that he must be anxious to see Qi Shu, and he couldn't hold it anymore, really, he usually looks so calm and calm, why is he as anxious as a hairy young man at this time, and he is not productive!
The snow-clothed fox Qiu couldn't stand the number of nine cold days, and a group of people flocked to the leading few into the Shangshu Mansion, leaving only those slightly messy footprints on the ground, which gradually faded and shallow under the flying of snowflakes in the sky until they disappeared.
Hot tea was served, the stove to warm hands, and the charcoal in the hall had already been laid out, Ji Nan sat on the main seat, Ning Ze sat down, Qi Shangshu stood next to him and waited, I don't know when a woman came behind him, I saw that this woman's chin was long and pointy, and Qi Shangshu's appearance was a little similar, and her posture was quite graceful, but it was quite a bit of a generous feeling, Meiyu saw some actuarial feelings, which made him look at it and didn't like it, and Ning Ze didn't raise his eyelids, and he pinched a cup of tea and sipped it lightly.
Ji Nan didn't speak, frowning and thinking about who this is, why haven't I seen it before, I'm afraid it's not Qi Shangshu's daughter? The daughter of the Qi family, he only recognized Qi Shu.
Qi Shangshu's family is quite strict, any unstable factors that can threaten his official position are well controlled, Qi Shu was familiar with the prince in the past, so he would let Qi Shu come out to entertain, but wasn't she sick, so she didn't call her, just in the courtyard when the concubine Qi Luo pulled his sleeve, saying that he was going to the hall to entertain guests, originally he didn't want to agree, but after a while, he agreed, maybe...... That's a possibility.
"Qi Shangshu doesn't have to be so polite, King Guanghan and I are here for Qi Shu, it's not that I've been sick for many days, it's not that I can come and have a look if I don't worry." Ji Nan put down the teacup and said with a smile.
The relationship between the prince and Qi Shu is known to Liangcheng, when he was young, Qi Shu Congying entered the palace with his father and was selected by the prince, and became a member of the companion reading hall, this companion reading hall is specially set up for the prince to read lonely and boring, and it is only a few years, but the relationship between the prince and Qi Shu and Ning Ze is the best, not brother and sister but even brother and sister, the world understands that this Qi Shu noble daughter has the protection of the prince, who dares to offend?
In addition to the bad matter of marriage, Qi Shu is also a perfect famous lady in Shaoliang City.
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I invited Lang Zhong to come over and say that it would be fine in two days, Prince Lao and the prince bothered." Qi Shangshu said with a smile and respectfully.
Looking at it like this, Qi Shu definitely can't come out, so will you see you here? Those are the backyard rooms, and they don't have the rules to go in, so let's come and see her next time.
"Since that's the case, then let's go first..." Before Ji Nan's words were finished, Ning Ze glanced at him, all of them were holding ice ballast, and Ji Nan was inexplicably stunned, but he was a little aggrieved, and his face was full of small emotions, this is really not to blame him, even if he doesn't come, Ning Ze won't be able to see Qi Shu.
Qi Shangshu panicked when he heard that they were leaving, but what excuse did he have to keep? Just as he was pondering, Qi Luo timidly walked up to him and said, "Father, mother just said that lunch has been prepared, and now it's almost time." Although the words were said to Qi Qin, his eyes inadvertently skipped over Ning Ze.
"Yes, yes, the prince, the prince, the minister has prepared a thin wine banquet, please appreciate it." Qi Shangshu was busy and said to them with a smile.
"No need, the prince and I still have official business, so I won't bother, let's meet another day." Ning Ze stood up and said elegantly, the appearance of having made up his mind made Qi Qin obediently and interestingly, and then sent the distinguished guest out of the door, and only two teas had passed, Qi Qin was a little regretful.
