170 are all orphans (and updates.)
was asked by someone who met for the first time, Pang Shifeng was angry. Father is father after all, he has the responsibility to keep his father's last dignity, if his father really collaborates with the enemy and treason, he will personally pull his father back to the right path, but if he wants to kill his relatives or even slash his biological father, he can't do it. The confrontation is only a confrontation in terms of position, and it will never be a confrontation between father and son.
"On that day you will judge." Shi Feng said heavily, avoiding Mu Qing's gaze.
Qi Hui saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, in fact, none of them was wrong, but Mu Qing said it too directly, he and Pang Shifeng were only meeting for the first time, and he understood Shifeng's temperament, so he spoke out to ease the atmosphere. After that, the three of them straightened out what they had just said, and Mu Qing told Qi Hui that the next time he left, he would go to get the last key that he had tried to use to unlock, and he didn't know where he was buried.
"Could it be that the other faction is ......" Qi Hui's brows furrowed, and Shi Feng's face tightened.
Mu Qing said heavily: "That's right, just behind the mountain range, in the past twenty or thirty years, he has taken root there as an important minister. ”
Shifeng didn't squeak, if everything was really like this, it was exactly the same as the year when his father began to show his strength in the court, and after so many years, his father's ambition was afraid that it had also swelled to the extreme.
Qi Hui calmed down and said: "Internal strife is greater than external trouble, before subverting the imperial power, I must ensure that the border passes are not threatened by anything, otherwise we will not sit down in this country, and the people will suffer from the war." He clenched his fists tightly, "It's a pity that I can't talk to the emperor about these sorrows." ”
Mu Qing suggested: "Why don't you try to ask the emperor for military power in a bright and open way?" Although we have 10,000 troops, it is not enough to resist the imperial army, even if we can reach the capital, if it is discovered before that, the imperial court will send troops to encircle and suppress, I am afraid that we will be scattered before we reach the capital. ”
Qi Hui's eyes were like torches, and his body was full of murderous energy, Shi Feng had seen his posture, he used to want to kill the first emperor Concubine Li and the like, after Xiangxiang appeared, his breath became soft, and now Xu is thinking of the danger of the world, and the fire of anger was ignited.
Shi Feng interjected coldly: "Xi Niang is here, just now Xi Niang and Xiang Xiang are together." ”
Hearing the names of his wife and sister, Qi Hui finally eased his emotions slightly, and Shi Feng cared about him, he thought about his family and country, and he didn't notice that when Shi Feng mentioned Xi Niang, Mu Qing's face changed, but Qi Hui said that Mu Qing and Xi Niang were also familiar with each other, and asked him if he wanted to meet, Mu Qing did not refuse, but the words that came later said that Xi Niang had already left.
Qi Hui didn't particularly care, saying that it would be good to see each other next time, and he would send Mu Qing away, he and Shi Feng walked out as if nothing happened, and when they saw off Shi Feng and came back, his cousin was gone. Qi Hui called his subordinates to ask his wife what he was doing, and when he learned that he was studying with Mr. Shen, he changed his clothes and went out to meet a few important people.
In the evening, Xiangxiang finished her schoolwork, and her husband resigned and went back to the front, but found that her husband was gone, she waited in the bedroom alone, and the maids sent the dresses that would enter the palace for the banquet a few days later, she smiled and said: "Is this going out to be a guest to the banquet in the future, you have to change to a new one, year after year, how many clothes should you save, can't you wear the same one?" ”
The maids smiled and said, "Have you seen the other ladies wearing the same clothes, otherwise Mrs. Jane gave you the clothes before, how can you say that you will wear them once." If you wear the same clothes to the banquet, people will think that our palace can't even afford the clothes of our wife. ”
Xiangxiang smiled helplessly: "It's all people's hearts, even if the family can't afford to make clothes, won't they be unsightly?" But in the end, she got up and tried it, but she was not picky, she looked good and looked good in everything, but she felt that no matter how good or bad, it was too luxurious to toss and turn like this.
When the dinner was served, it was finally rumored in front of the door that the prince had returned home, and Xiangxiang immediately welcomed him out, but saw Qi Hui returning with a food box, saying that he had gone to the Closed Moon Pavilion, and the newly made osmanthus cake, Xi Niang asked him to bring it back to Xiangxiang. The two went back to the room to change their clothes first, and Xiangxiang took off his cold clothes from riding a horse in the wind and snow, but he was sweating from running and bumping, so he hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring hot water and wiped his body with his own hands.
Qi Hui was not in a bad mood, it seemed that things went out in the afternoon and went well, and he said ambiguous words with a smile: "You can wipe it well, I haven't eaten yet, so I don't have the strength to do it." ”
Xiangxiang twisted his arm and said angrily: "I have the strength to eat at night, and I don't think about it." But after the joke, I remembered the events of the day, and said that the head of the class was killed, and there was no follow-up after the body was sent to the yamen, leaving a few masters and dancers in the same place, and then I didn't know how to do it, money didn't count, the dancers' clothing and even the fat powder boxes were robbed clean, and now they rely on Xi Niang's little relief to survive.
Xiangxiang wiped the sweat on Qi Hui's neck and chest with a hot towel, quickly took clean and warm clothes for him to put on, washed his hands and said, "Why is it so unlucky, a dance troupe, not robbing sex, but robbing money?" It's really unheard of, is the thief too stupid, or is there something else? ”
Qi Hao's hot clothes and upper body, tiredness was swept away, and his mood was not bad, but when he heard about this, the only thing that was strange was: "I went to see Xi Niang, why didn't she tell me." ”
Xiangxiang stepped forward to tie her husband's clothes and asked casually, "My sister has been here today, what are you going to do with my sister?" ”
Qi Hui said: "Tell her that Mu Qing has been here today, and the sachet she found last time should not be someone else's temptation, so that she can rest assured." ”
Xiangxiang sighed: "I've already told my sister, why don't you ask me first." And she couldn't help but say half a sentence, "But after I said it, I took Pang Gongzi to the study, and then turned back, and my sister left." ”
Qi Hui didn't care, maybe he didn't think of those things at all, but he said worriedly: "My sister is not in good spirits, probably uncomfortable, she stayed in the Closed Moon Pavilion, I don't feel at ease." ”
Xiangxiang wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, she promised Xi Niang not to tell Qi Hui, and Xianggong was so wooden, didn't she notice it at all? There are Pang Shifeng and Shen Yan again, and Mr. won't let her say it, if Qi Hui notices it first, he won't blame her, but Qi Hui is full of family and country, except for his wife, he doesn't care about other people's affairs at all.
"It's annoying, it's annoying." Xiangxiang impatiently tied Qi Hui's clothes and stabbed Qi Hui in the stomach, of course Qi Hui didn't hurt, it can be seen that his wife lost her temper for no reason, so she became worried and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, I didn't tell you when I went out in the afternoon?" ”
Xiangxiang didn't know where to start, but he lost his temper slightly, and half of it was scattered, and when he saw Qi Hui's tired face, he was very distressed, and his face softened: "Hurry up and eat, you've been running around all day." ”
After that, after asking Mr. Shen about the dinner was ready, Xiangxiang sat back at the dining table, carefully served Qi Huisheng soup and vegetables, told her husband, who had always gobbled up the meal quickly, to chew slowly, and drank a glass of wine to warm up, and after the two of them gradually calmed down, Xiangxiang mentioned the dance class again.
She said that she wanted to send some silver, in the name of Xi Niang, but Qi Hui said: "It doesn't matter if you send it in your own name, if there is nowhere to settle them, it is okay to bring them to the palace." ”
Xiangxiang waved his hand: "After being separated for so long, the status disparity is so big when we meet again, I will be restrained if I am replaced." People can't bring them home, but they can come forward and find a place to stay for them. They are all orphans, homeless, and daughters, and they have no place to stay, which is really pitiful. ”
Qi Hui said: "Are they all orphans? You didn't say that Concubine Jing was sold to the dance class, I thought you were the only orphan. ”
Xiang Xiang counted with his fingers and said: "There are indeed more trades, but there are also many orphans, if you buy it, you can see the talent of posture at the age of four or five, and there will be no mistake." But if I don't have the talent to dance and pick up this kind of person, I will be sold again at the age of five or six, and it is not until I am thirteen or fourteen years old that the sisters around me are really fixed. In addition to me, there are five or six others who were also picked up from various places. But even if Jingshu was bought like this, I don't know where the family is. ”
Qi Hui felt a little heavy, although he had a hard childhood, in the end he still had his mother by his side, Xiangxiang didn't even know where his roots were, how much hesitation should be in this world, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, but Xiangxiang opened it and said: "Eat honestly, I'm not in a good mood now, don't mess with me." ”
Qi Hui briefly said some things in today's study, but he didn't tell Xiangxiang everything, after all, it was too heavy, and he was afraid that Xiangxiang wouldn't even be able to eat when he turned around.
Seeing that Xiangxiang was still thinking about his former sisters, Qi Hui said that he would inquire about this case tomorrow, and Xi Niang's words were bits and pieces, and they came from Fangyu, which may not be all facts.
Xiangxiang sighed: "You said that the class master knows that I am now Prince Shuo's woman, she must know about Jingshu, but I may not." He must not dare to think that the girl he raised would have such a turn of fate. ”
After the two finished eating, they were going to go for a walk to eliminate food, and someone from outside passed the word, saying that Mrs. Jianfu had sent something to Mr. Shen, and brought a sentence, saying that the palace would go to the banquet in the next few days, and Mrs. Jian would also go, and asked Xiangxiang if he was going with him, since it was a gathering of women's relatives, if Mr. Shen wanted to go, he could also go with him.
Qi Hui hurriedly persuaded Xiangxiang: "You follow Mrs. Jane, I am somewhat relieved, otherwise don't go, the last thing, even if the emperor doesn't dare to do anything to you, why bother to see Pang Qianyou and let her be mean to you." Even if you don't care, you don't feel comfortable hearing it. ”
Xiangxiang said to ask Mr. if he wanted to go with him, presumably that kind of place, Mr. didn't want to go, after all, the palace she knew after arriving in the capital was gloomy and terrifying.
