Chapter 162: The Storm (2)
Chapter 162: The Storm (2)
Xun Qingran thought about it for a while, so she had to laugh.
"My wife didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it myself. Two days ago, the fourth master was at home and asked me to play chess with me, but I didn't know how to do it, so I hid out. The fourth master was annoyed, called me back, and shook his face to show me. Madam, you give a comment, is the fourth master a little overbearing in doing this? ”
Xun Qingran deliberately showed a wronged expression, and said half-truthfully. In his heart, he secretly expressed his apologies to Qi You. Although it is such a trivial matter, but Second Mrs. Qi brought it up, I am afraid it will not be simple. Who knows what it will look like in Second Lady Qi. If the relationship between the young couple is too good, will it make Second Mrs. Qi, a mother-in-law, feel uncomfortable? Or, will Second Lady Qi think that Qi You has to find one thing to find her, and will blame her for being jealous and refusing to let people serve Qi You?
Mother-in-law's mind is the most difficult to guess, so it is not out of line with the facts, and it should not make Second Mrs. Qi suspicious.
After Xun Qingran finished speaking, he looked at Second Mrs. Qi.
Second Lady Qi frowned, a little embarrassed. She originally planned that no matter how Xun Qingran answered, some flaws would be exposed, and then she would be able to logically say what she had prepared a long time ago. didn't expect Xun Qingran to say this.
However, Second Lady Qi did not intend to give up her original idea because of this.
"I just hope you little couple are well. You have a lot of things to do now, and it is inevitable that you will neglect the fourth child's side, which will make him unhappy. You still have to be careful in the future. ”
Negligent Qi Yu? Where did Second Lady Qi come to her conclusions? Xun Qingran was secretly puzzled, but if Second Lady Qi insisted on saying this, she couldn't help it.
Neglected Qi You, is she looking for an excuse not to let her take care of the house, or is there any other arrangement?
"The affairs of this family can't be separated from you, and the fourth child can't be taken care of by anyone. You should also have a caring person by your side to assist, you are young and don't understand this, so I have to worry about it. I have already given you a crush on someone, I can usually help you, and you can serve the fourth child for you when it is inconvenient" Second Lady Qi said kindly.
Serving Qi Yu for her when it was inconvenient for her, Xun Qingran understood even if she was stupid what Second Mrs. Qi was going to arrange for her.
"The daughter-in-law's yard is full of manpower, and the fourth master ......"
Second Mrs. Qi waved her hand decisively, and didn't let Xun Qingran say any more, so she called out the colorful butterfly.
Butterfly walked in with broken steps.
"Caidie has grown up beside me since I was a child, and has served me for so many years. I looked at her carefully for a few years, and she was a sensible and proper girl. gave the fourth child to be the person in the house, and I can rest assured. Second Mrs. Qi said, and persuaded Xun Qingran, "You know things best, you see how powerful Dong'er beside your second sister-in-law is." Caidie, this girl, I don't look worse than Dong'er, I am reluctant to give others, it's cheaper for you, hehe. ”
Caidie stood there with her head bowed and shy.
"Quickly kowtow to your fourth grandmother, from now on you will follow the fourth grandmother, and you will serve the fourth grandmother well, but you are not allowed to be naughty." Second Lady Qi said to Caidie.
Xun Qingran looked at Caidie carefully in a blink of an eye, and saw that Caidie's body was already grown, and her figure was concave and convex, although she tried her best to make a respectful and shy appearance, and even did not want to do it in her heart, but the master had to follow the appearance, but the spring in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not be covered.
Caidie knelt down with a plop, so fast that she was afraid that someone would stop her.
Such a girl, bring it back, it's not that there is no way to rectify it, it's just that Xun Qingran doesn't want to do that yet.
Xun Qingran didn't see Caidie kneeling there, and walked to the side of Second Mrs. Qi by herself.
"Mrs. feels sorry for the fourth master, it's just ......" Xun Qingran smiled, and was about to say something, but saw the door curtain lifted, and Qi Yi came in from outside.
"Mother, what good things do you want to favor the fourth brother?"
"It's none of your business, go play with your sisters." Second Lady Qi said.
Qi Yi didn't listen, his eyes turned, and he turned from the colorful butterfly full of peach blossoms to Xun Qingran, and turned around to the second lady of Qi.
"Mother is partial, all good things are done first to the fourth brother, I don't agree. Sister Caidie is what I have taken a fancy to a long time ago, and I want Sister Caidie to serve me in a leisurely home. Qi Yi said.
"What nonsense are you talking about, my fourth sister-in-law and I are talking about business, you go to play, you go." Second Mrs. Qi has always loved this little son, and she can't bear to be harsh, so she can't help but say angrily at this time.
Xun Qingran listened, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. At this time, if she doesn't speak, then she will stay.
"Since the fifth brother likes it, it is naturally for the fifth brother." Xun Qing said.
"How's that going to work, he's a kid talking nonsense." Second Lady Qi said.
Qi Yi rolled in the arms of Second Mrs. Qi and was coquettish.
Xun Qingran said with a smile, "Madam, the fifth brother's request is extremely reasonable. The two big girls on the fifth brother's side, Gu Yu and Xiaoman, Gu Yu was sent by the old lady to serve the fifth brother, and now she still receives the monthly money for the year. Therefore, the fifth brother has always had one less big girl than in other courtyards. I've been thinking about helping my fifth brother buy it for a long time, but I haven't found a good one. Now the fifth brother has also taken a fancy to the butterfly, isn't it just suitable. ”
"Exactly, exactly, Mother, just give it to me." Qi Yi said.
Second Mrs. Qi was angry in her heart, because Xun Qingran was present, but she was not good at attacking her youngest son.
"That's just right. I'm going to go back and have someone change the booklet. Mrs. should also add another person, and let Wangcai's daughter-in-law choose the one for Mrs. "Xun Qing dyed and struck while the iron was hot.
Second Mrs. Qi was annoyed by Qi Yi's trouble, and was so angry by Xun Qing's attitude that she was speechless for a while.
Butterfly knelt there, her head almost smoking. It's just that on this occasion, how can she have room to speak, only to be in a hurry. She wanted to say that she was willing to serve Qi You, not Qi Yi. Qi Yi is still young, so he wants her to go over, and he also wants to send her out. But she didn't dare to say that Qi Yi was the heart of Second Mrs. Qi, and Second Mrs. Qi would turn her face when she said it.
The place of right and wrong cannot be stayed for a long time, Xun Qingran moved his footsteps, turned his back to the door, stretched his hand behind his back, and quietly made a gesture to the malt outside.
After a few moments, Baozhu hurried in and replied.
"Mrs. Hui and the fourth grandmother, the eldest lady sent someone to find the fourth grandmother, saying that she wanted the fourth grandmother to open a warehouse, find a few rulers like this, and also need the newly made incense in the house, and ......, all of which are urgently needed." The orb crackled and reported a string of orders.
The eldest lady is not very talkative, and the second lady of Qi usually has to let her a few points. The affairs of the eldest lady cannot be delayed.
Qi Yi continued to monkey the second lady Qi on the body.
"Madam, then I'll go to support Mrs. Ying first." Xun Qingran said with a smile.
Qi Yi secretly carried Second Lady Qi behind her back and dyed Xun Qing with a grimace.
Xun Qingran smiled knowingly, said goodbye, and withdrew from the house, walked straight out of the prayer hall, and then slowed down and walked slowly.
Sure enough, after a while, Qi Yi also came out of the prayer hall, and when he saw Xun Qingran from a distance, he walked over quickly.
"Sister Dye." Qi Yi exclaimed, smiling.
Qing Ran agreed with a smile.
"Sister Dye, I also want a pair of warm shoes like Junhui." Qi Yi unceremoniously asked.
"I've already done it for you, it's not that I'm too busy these days, I've done it now." Xun Qing said.
"I knew that Sister Dye felt sorry for me." Qi Yi immediately came to Xun Qingran's side.
The two talked all the way until Ning Yuanju came.
"Sister dye, are the shoes embroidered, if they haven't been embroidered, I want the green-eyed cat to roll the hydrangea, don't want the unicorn ......"
The two walked into the upper room, and Qi Yi was still talking excitedly.
"Coming back?" But Qi You was already sitting in the house.
When Qi Yi saw Qi You, he purred twice in his mouth, and then stopped talking, and his flying demeanor became more restrained.
"Fourth brother" Qi Yi shouted.
Qi You snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied when he heard Qi Yi's words.
"If you have time to take care of the green-eyed cat and hydrangea, it is better to memorize your book well. After a few days, my father plans to send you to Zongxue. ”
"I, I'm going to endorse it." Qi Yi didn't even sit down, and walked away.
Xun Qingran looked at the two brothers and was a little speechless.
"Why are you so fierce to the fifth brother, he is still young."
"Is Junhui older than him, now he is a lifter, lives in the academy, and takes care of everything clearly."
Qi You mentioned Xun Junhui, and Xun Qingran had nothing to say. She can't always say that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, although that's the truth.
Xun Qing took off his coat, sat opposite Qi You, and told him about the butterfly at the second lady of Qi, and secretly looked at Qi You's face after speaking.
Qi You didn't care, but said coldly, "If you don't want to, just say you don't want to, don't all the women in your book do this?" ”
Xun Qing was angry, she wanted to do that, and immediately offended her mother-in-law head-on, and when she mentioned the script, Xun Qingran complained again, "What a chivalrous girl, I finally found that book, you said to take it away, you took it away, what else do you want." ”
Qi You confiscated the only book she treasured, Xun Qing was not angry, but begging someone to do something, even if it was her own man, there was a price, so she had to admit it.
Qi You didn't speak, only leaned on the backrest.
Today, when I went back to Xun's house for dinner, Master Xun opened two jars of old wine, and Qi Yu drank a lot, although he also drank the wine soup later, it seems that he is still tired.
Xun Qingran hurriedly said: "Do you want to drink another bowl of hangover soup, I haven't drunk less wine today." "Tired or not, help you rub your shoulders."
Qi You did not refuse, Xun Qingran hurriedly warmed his hands and rubbed Qi You's shoulders.
"If there is such a thing in the future, you just have to push it on me." After a while, Qi Yu said.
Qing Ran was naturally happy to agree, and said, "I know you don't like such things. Today, thanks to the fifth brother, the siege was lifted. ”
"He's good to you." Qi Yu said.
Qi Yi is very good to her. Junhui once told her that he asked Qi Yi to take care of her. But at this time, Xun Qingran didn't want to push the credit to Qi You.
"I've only been here for a few days, and that's not for his fourth brother's sake." Xun Qingran said, "The fifth brother has a pure heart, which makes people feel distressed. ”
Qi Yu nodded.
Seeing Qi You fall asleep with his eyes closed, Xun Qingran took the thin quilt and helped Qi You cover it, and then walked outside, called a few bellflowers, malt, and treasure beads, and discussed.
"You said that Erya's mother is sick, and the medicine and money can be delivered?" Xun Qingran remembered one thing and asked Baozhu.
These two girls are serving in the courtyard of the second lady of Qi, although they are not confidants, they can also enter the room to serve.
"It's been delivered." Orb Road.
Xun Qingran nodded. "This yard is not clean, so you have to be more careful in the future."
Xun Qingran told a few girls about Second Mrs. Qi's question, "Listen, such a little thing has spread so far and become like that." If we're not careful, when we hit someone's dark arrow, I don't know why. ”
Several girls nodded their heads.
There is also the matter of colorful butterflies, which must be done quickly. Xun Qingran immediately asked people to bring the roster of the subordinates, and ticked the name of Caidie from the courtyard of Second Mrs. Qi and added it to Qi Yi's leisurely residence.
Caidie is the confidant of Second Lady Qi, and Xun Qingran has always known that she is very eye-catching and scheming. There are also people in the yard of Second Mrs. Qi who came to sell it to her, saying that Caidie moved her mind that should not be moved. Simply row it neatly into Qi Yi's yard, so as not to have extraneous branches.
"The second wife will really let Caidie serve the fifth master?" Malt asked.
"Don't worry, Caidie can't enter the door of the leisurely house at all." Xun Qing said.
………………
Leisurely inside, but some people are not as sure as Xun Qingran.
Qi Yi sat at the table, staring at the book in a daze.
The big girl Gu Yu and Xiao Man are taking down the books on the bookshelf one by one and wiping them with a handkerchief, and she has to do this job every day. Seeing Qi Yi in a daze, Gu Yu went over and pulled out the book in Qi Yi's hand.
Qi Yi was not angry.
"Fifth master, it's not that the servant is talkative. The wife wants to add people to Ning Yuanju, and the fourth master and the fourth grandmother will follow if they want it, and if they don't want it, they have their own way to deal with it. Why bother the fifth master to catch up and do such a thing? It's okay now, the villain outside has to be charged to the fifth master again. Why bother. The fifth master is too worried, and the fourth grandmother will manage the affairs of this big family, and this thing can't be handled? ”
"People are delicate and delicate, how long has she been married, she is not familiar with life, and there are so many things, let's look good, who knows how much hardship my sister has endured behind her back. What I can take care of, I will naturally take care of. Those villains, why do I need to do anything, if you want to say that I am not good, you will always find out the reason. What's more, I promised the second master of the Xun family to take care of my sister. ”
"There is the fourth master, why do you need to come out?"
"Although the fourth brother is strong, there is always a place where he can't see it. I can't ignore it. Qi Yi was also a little stubborn.
"Okay, the maid said that the fifth master can't be called, the fifth master is a good person, the maid has become a bad person, the fifth master wants to help people, and the maid will not stop him. It's just that now people are coming to us, and they have to be used by my wife's side, but how to arrange it makes people worry. ”
"Why should you worry about this, who she is, can she get past you when she comes here? She is served by his wife, so you should treat her well. I am accustomed to serving you, and I am impatient to let others serve. Qi Yi said with a smile.
"As if we were rushing to serve him?" Xiao Man burst out laughing, turned around and went out.
Gu Yu turned his back to Qi Yi, the hand holding the book paused, the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a smile, and he turned around and said, "Isn't that what you said?" The maid went to clean up the house and came out to Sister Caidie. ”
…………
The next day, it is advisable to live in the New Year
Rong smiled and listened to Second Lady Qi.
“…… An extremely rare girl, who was originally going to give it to the fourth child, is also reassuring. Xiao Wu is childish, dyed girl's hair, hey. ”
"Now that it has been returned to the courtyard of the fifth child, it can no longer be given to the fourth child. It's just that Caidie is not young, so she doesn't have to delay her, let her out, or match someone, don't treat her badly. Rong said.
Rong's meaning is that he does not intend to leave colorful butterflies.
Xun Qingran nodded secretly beside him. The Rong family has been immersed in the back house for so many years, so naturally he will not let such a person stay with his grandson, who is still a minor. On the contrary, it was the second lady of Qi, who complained in her words, and actually hoped that the Rong family would support her, and then give the colorful butterfly to Qi You, which inevitably fell behind.
Second Lady Qi's eyes inadvertently glanced at Xun Qingran's body.
Caidie is the confidant of Second Lady Qi, if there is no such thing, she can still serve for a year and a half. Now they have to send it out at once. Second Mrs. Qi not only failed to arrange a room for her henchmen by her son's side, but lost her arm, and she was definitely in a bad mood. Xun Qingran secretly woke up, and he had to be more careful in the past two days.
"That's it, let her mother come in to receive people in the past two days, and I will accompany her to give her a thick dowry, and she will also serve by my side." Second Lady Qi said, it seems that she has finally figured it out.
"That's good, you can do it." Rong nodded.
"Old lady, it's not me who praises the girl, these days, it's really hard for her. I'm getting older, and everything is supported by the dyeing girl. Second Lady Qi looked at Xun Qingran with a smile.
Xun Qingran was also busy laughing, and Second Mrs. Qi praised her like this, which made her frightened.
"It's just that this is not a long-term method, we have a lot of family affairs, and the girl is not so tired, I think in my heart, I can't let my dyed girl be like this." Second Lady Qi said.
"It's my wife who feels sorry for her daughter-in-law, why is it so serious." Xun Qingran had to say.
Yung was thoughtful.
"I thought, it's better to find someone to help with the dyeing girl." Second Lady Qi said.
Sure enough, Second Mrs. Qi will not give up so easily, she can't make a room, and now she has to cut her power? Managing family affairs is both a power and a responsibility. She doesn't care about this power, but when it is in her hands, she has to work hard to fulfill her responsibilities. Could it be that she did too well, although she didn't take the opportunity to install people, but it still gave Second Mrs. Qi a sense of crisis?
"That's fine, but is there a suitable candidate?" Yung asked.
"This," Second Mrs. Qi didn't seem to expect Rong's to agree so happily, "The eldest lady and the eldest * grandmother can't pull away, and the second grandmother and the third grandmother naturally can't do it, so I have to find ...... in the housekeeper's daughter-in-law."
If you want to find a housekeeper's daughter-in-law, then the wealthy family, Dong'er, these two are the most suitable, and Mama Zhang, who is next to the second lady of Qi, is also a capable person.
Xun Qingran glanced around the room and already had an idea.
"Old lady, ma'am, I have an idea."
