Chapter 195 Deliberation

Qi You didn't rush to ask Xun Qingran what was the matter, but slowly drank the tea in the cup, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"About the citron." Xun Qing said, peeking at Qi You's face.

Qi You's face was as usual, "What's wrong with the citron?" ”

Xun Qingran had to consider the words and sentences, and told the matter of the citron, focusing on the attitude of the second lady of Qi and the attitude of the Rong family.

"As I was talking, the fourth master arrived outside, and as soon as I was in a hurry, I responded." Xun Qing said.

Qi Yu looked at Xun Qing's eyes and asked, "Why did I go, you were in a hurry." ”

"I'm afraid that the fourth master won't accept the citron." Xun Qing said.

Qi You raised his eyebrows, "You want me to accept her, so you made the decision for me?" ”

Xun Qingran shook his head, "I know that the fourth master must be unwilling." But if the fourth master refuses it in person, the old lady and the fourth master are close, and they won't have anything to say. But in the eyes of others, this may not be the case. chewed his tongue indiscriminately, but he was afraid of hurting the relationship between the old lady and the fourth grandfather and grandson, and would be used by the villain. ”

She was ahead of Qi You at that time, and she responded to this matter in order to avoid a head-on conflict between the Rong family and Qi You's ancestors and grandchildren, which affected the relationship between the two grandchildren. She did this, of course, for more important reasons. Qi You has just been promoted to the second rank, and at this time, not only Qi Mansion, but also outside does not know how many people are staring at him. Qi You's behavior should be even more cautious, so as not to be caught, saying that as soon as he was promoted, he would conflict with the elders in the family. In addition, it is also for long-term planning. Qi You has been with her for a few years. As a feudal official, he is naturally majestic, but he can't be arrogant, a person is always indispensable to family support, and he must be well-informed in the capital. Therefore, Yung's support is indispensable.

Qi Yu pondered for a moment, and unconsciously looked at Xun Qingran's gaze a little strange. He knew that she was thoughtful, but he didn't expect her to think so far-reaching and take the overall situation into account.

Qi You didn't say anything, just hummed.

Xun Qingran understood that Qi You recognized her proposition, so she said again, "Fourth master, in fact, in my heart, I don't want to accept citrons, on the contrary, I want to send her away early." ”

Qi You didn't speak, just looked at Xun Qingran and motioned for her to continue.

Xun Qingran thought about it slightly. Mama Song, Citron and Cai Qin are all the people around Qi Yu who originally had to be used. Since she entered the door, Mama Song and Cai Qin have had a good performance, only Citron, from beginning to end, is very deferential, speaks and acts, and is appropriate everywhere. This made her feel good. She has considered that if Citron is the same on the outside, she will never treat Citron badly, and will give Citron the same preferential treatment as her own wedding girl.

However, after all, she still chose to be cautious. Citron did everything very well, or too well, but it still showed flaws.

Citron's first flaw was that when she lost the note given by Xun Shufang, only Xun Qingran knew in her heart that Citron saw that she had left the note, and she was the first to have a chance to pick up the note. However, the note ended up in the hands of Cai Qin. Citron's second flaw, she later hinted at the Tong family's fraudulent note, which should have been found in the celery-picking cabinet, but was found in the citron's cabinet. The mother and daughter of the Tong family were aimed at Cai Qin at that time, not the citron who had always given in to them. Citron happily admitted, and left enough way for herself to retreat between the words.

It was after that that Xun Qingran secretly turned more attention to the citron, and at the same time told the bellflower and malt a few. Therefore, Xun Qingran has always been well aware of the wooing and temptation of these girls.

Later, there was another incident of Xiangxiu. Qi You didn't drink the tea offered by the citron, so he led Xiangxiu to serve tea, and the citron pestered the bellflower to talk about the embroidery color, and Xiangxiu was able to successfully smuggle out the white porcelain tea set. And Xiangxiu was finally planted in her original name. These coincidences, when put together, are not simply coincidences.

And Xun Qingran's initial suspicion of Citron was still on Qi You, which was Qi You's nickname Rouge. At that time, when I heard Xiangxiu first mention her milk name Rouge, Mama Song and Citron both heard it on the side. Mama Song knew about Qi You's taboo, but she didn't remind her, and later after she asked, Mama Song used words to round the past. And based on the time Citron entered Qi Mansion and served by Qi You's side, it was impossible for Citron not to know Qi You's taboo, but she didn't remind Xun Qingran.

In the past, the citron tried to avoid contact with the people in the prayer hall, but recently he had a close relationship with the little girls in the prayer hall, and the second lady of Qi even sent out all the people in the house, and only talked to the citron, which was nearly half an hour.

Xun Qingran slowly told Qi Yu about his suspicions about citron.

"I was always afraid that I would wronged her, so I took it all to heart." Xun Qing said.

"And now?" Qi Yu asked.

"Now, it depends on how the fourth master plans to place her." Xun Qingran said with a smile.

"What else do you say about placement, just send it away." Qi Yu said.

Xun Qingran nodded, and his heart was naturally to be dismissed, but he always had to be beautiful and block the mouths of all parties.

"What's the idea?" Qi You stretched out his finger and flicked it on Xun Qing's eyebrows.

"Oops." Xun Qingran covered his forehead, Qi You's action is almost getting used to it.

"No matter how much the fourth master plays, he can't play such a beauty mole." Xun Qingran frowned and said, she regretted it as soon as she said this.

Sure enough, Qi You's face darkened.

"Spare your life, Fourth Master."

Xun Qingran was pressed on the couch by Qi You, and could only weakly beg for mercy.

The door to the study was always closed, and the girls did not come close. I saw Xun Qingran enter the study, and then Qi You came back from the outer courtyard and also went to the study, the two stayed in the house for a long time before they came out, they were all neatly dressed, Qi You's face was as usual, and Xun Qingran seemed to be as usual. (During the river crab period, how the public case between Qi You and Xun Qingran was concluded became a permanent unsolved case)

………………

Xun Junhui got the news that Qi Yu was going to be a foreign officer, and he was the first to rush to Qi Mansion.

"Sister, brother-in-law just won't let go, I'm going to come to my sister today." Xun Junhui's face was slightly red.

"What's going on?" Xun Qingran hurriedly asked.

Xun Junhui took a big sip of tea, obviously in a hurry, "Mama Chang was driven to the Zhuangzi, and the people who served his wife were changed. One of the little girls is good friends with Kapok. She overheard the plans of his wife and four sisters and told me. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Xun Qing was taken aback, could it be that the Fang clan was going to calculate Xun Junhui again.

"Sister, listen, don't worry, don't be angry, I won't let this happen." Xun Junhui said first.

"Okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not angry, just say it." Xun Qingran was busy appeasing, and it was Xun Junhui who was obviously anxious and angry.

Xun Junhui didn't speak, and couldn't help sneering first, "Sister, you must not have imagined that Mrs. Qi's plan is to let Second Mrs. Qi kill her sister, and then let her brother-in-law marry her fourth sister." ”

"Huh?" Xun Qingran's mouth opened, but she only made an unclear sound, it turned out that she overheard the conversation between Second Lady Qi and the Fang Clan, and she couldn't understand that it was such a reason.

Xun Qingran didn't laugh angrily, "It's just a fool's dream, how is this possible." Don't say that the old lady won't agree, even the second wife ......" Speaking of this, Xun Qingran paused, she heard that Second Lady Qi had obviously agreed, and it was only since then that she made it more difficult for her. Sure enough, Second Lady Qi was pinched by the Fang family, and she should also know that Xun Shulan couldn't enter the door of the Qi family at all, but she didn't dare not agree to the Fang family. Later, to herself, it was also to give Fang Shi an explanation, telling Fang Shi that she had done her best. Of course, there is also Second Mrs. Qi's own selfishness in this, so there is such a situation, try to suppress it, but it is not endless.

"Sister, I just learned that my sister was sick once a while ago, but she was killed by them? Sister, why didn't you tell me? Does my brother-in-law know? Xun Junhui asked again.

"Don't think about it, it's none of their business that I'm sick." Xun Qingran hurriedly said, the matter has passed, and my younger brother should not be worried, "Besides, I am going to go to the foreign post with your brother-in-law, the mountains and rivers are long, they don't have that kind of ability, they can stretch their hands so long." It's you, in the capital, my wife is doing everything now, and my sister is worried about you. ”

"Sister, don't worry, my father ordered that my wife was forbidden to go out and meet guests, including the Hou Mansion and this side. Without Mama Chang, Mrs. has become a crab without feet, and no matter how many vicious thoughts she has, she can't show it. ”

"Well, that's good."

Xun Junhui is worried about his sister, Xun Qingran is even more worried about his younger brother, and he has countless things to tell.

In addition to his younger brother, Xun Qingran has another person to worry about.

"Fourth aunt, this pearl flower is so beautiful." The crescent moon took the bead flower that Xun Qingdye gave her, and she couldn't put it down, so she wanted to wear it on her head. Sister Zhen had already received the gift from Xun Qing, and when she saw that the crescent moon had already worn a lot of jewelry on her small head, she took the bead flower, "Good crescent moon, put away this bead flower first, and then wear it to the old lady when you go back." ”

Crescent nodded.

Sister Zhen took out a purse from the crescent moon's arms, put the beads in it, and carefully stuffed it back into the crescent moon's arms.

Xun Qingran couldn't help but smile when he looked at it. The two little sisters got along better than she thought. Sister Zhen looks like an eldest sister, and she is taking care of the crescent moon like a little mother. Because of Sister Zhen'er, Yue'er adapted quickly to life in Qifu.

Sister Zhen also understands the rules very well, and after sitting for a while, she took the crescent moon to leave.

"The fourth aunt is very reluctant to let you go, so you can come to accompany the fourth aunt when you are free." Xun Qingran instructed, so he sent someone to send the two children out.

As soon as the two children were sent away, the smile on Xun Qingran's face had not yet been retracted, and the citron walked in from outside.

"Fourth grandmother, the maid has something to ask the fourth grandmother."
