Chapter 38: Persuading Departure (2)
、、、、、、、、、、
"Li Niang, is the master here?" Returning to Xiuheyuan from Hanyuan, Mrs. Yu called the deacon in charge of purchasing at home again, and after explaining the things to be prepared for the prayer in a few days, the sun had risen in the middle outside, and Mrs. Yu's face was tired, holding her forehead with one hand, while asking Li Niang, who walked in with food.
Li Niang smiled, "I was about to come in and tell you, the master is here, in the second gate." ”
Madame Yu sighed faintly, "Let him come in, take this meal first, I can't eat it." ”
Li Niang glanced at her worriedly, and gave Xia Yu a look, Xia Yu hurriedly went out to let the mother-in-law who guarded the second door come in, "Let's eat some." ”
Madam Yu shook her head, closed her eyes and waited for Qi Yin.
After a while, the sound of squirming footsteps came, and Madame Yu slowly opened her eyes and watched Qi Yin walk in from outside the door with the sun on her back.
Li Niang gave Qi Yin a salute, then withdrew, and opened the little girl ring who was working in the house.
"?" Qi Yin looked at Madam Yu, who was sitting on the teacher's chair, her face was pale and her eyes were full of weakness, and her brows furrowed.
Madame Yu smiled softly, "Brother, you're here." ”
"How did you make yourself like this? What's going on? Qi Yin sat down and came face to face with Madame Yu.
Mrs. Yu's smile was undiminished, although gentle, she could feel the sadness in her eyes, "Old, remember...... Did I tell you about that? ”
Qi Yin was stunned for a moment, pondered for a moment, and his face changed slightly, "What news did Yu Yunsheng bring back from Palmetto City?" ”
Madame Jade sighed and smiled, "It's no different from what I guessed. ”
Qi Yin's face was expressionless, "That's why you're looking for me?" ”
"I actually wish I didn't have to look for you, but it's a pity that ......" Madame Jade lowered her eyes, and her lips were so white that it was shocking.
Qi Yin looked at Mrs. Yu silently, and after a long time, he sighed, "Er, get out of here and go home." ”
Madame Jade smiled lightly, "Home? Brother, where else in this world do you say is my home? I will never be able to return to the Zhongwang Mansion, but I will leave the Yu family...... When I first saw her, she would become the daughter of an abandoned woman, and she would no longer be the daughter of the Yu family, even if she was the granddaughter of the Zhongwang Mansion? She has a disgraceful mother like me, how can she find a good family, how can she gain a foothold in her husband's family? No matter how I am wronged in the Yu family now, I am the head of the Yu family after all, and I can be regarded as having the ability to ...... for the first time."
The voice stopped dumbly, and Madame Yu's smile was even lighter, she just wanted to find a good place for her first time to see the future, but she didn't think that it would be Yu Yunsheng who ruined all her plans.
"But...... Didn't you let the eldest brother go to find Mrs. Shangguan at the beginning? How dare they still want to be concubines when they first see the past? Shangguan Hui is not an impenetrable person, didn't he look at the face of the Zhongwang Mansion? Qi Yin frowned, always having doubts about this matter.
"The eldest brother did send someone to tell me that although Mrs. Shangguan intends to marry the Yu family, she will never accept Chujian as a concubine, as for why the result is like this, I am afraid that it will ......" Mrs. Yu stopped talking and looked at Qi Yin lightly.
"Are you saying that this may be the eldest brother deliberately uniting with the Shangguan family, to see if Yu Yunsheng is qualified to let the Zhongwang Mansion identify with him?" Qi Yin's face was solemn, but the eldest brother had never mentioned this matter, but now in such a form, it is difficult to teach people not to think about this aspect, Zhongwangfu did not agree with the Yu family's family business, and the reason why he wanted to recognize the first time was because Qi Yan's mother and daughter were not happy in the life of the Yu family, and the source of this unsatisfactory was naturally Yu Yunsheng, if he guessed correctly...... The father is definitely aware of this matter, and he is very interested in Yuyunsheng's son-in-law...... I'm afraid that after such a try, I am already completely disappointed.
"Yu Yunsheng is stubborn, not a person who is easy to compromise, he will agree to the family affairs of the Shangguan family, I am afraid that half of it is because of the loyal prince's mansion!" Madame Jade said softly.
"He promised to return the promise, the Yu family doesn't necessarily have to marry a daughter!" Qi Yin said in a deep voice, no matter what, he couldn't let his only niece go to someone else's concubine.
Mrs. Yu raised her lips and smiled, "Why can't the Yu family marry a daughter?" The Yu family wants to marry a daughter...... I also want to marry in a beautiful way! ”
Qi Yin raised his eyebrows, and then seemed to have figured out something, "Er, isn't all this already in your hands?" ”
Mrs. Yu's eyes were raised, very soft, "Although it is under control, it is ...... for Yu Yunsheng Still disappointed. ”
Qi Yin was stunned and would be disappointed...... That is still love, Qi Jiao's life was really ruined by Yuyunsheng.
"Er, what are your plans for the future?" Qi Yin asked.
"From now on...... One step at a time, I came to you today, just to ask you for something. Madam Yu suddenly turned pale, and looked at Qi Yin with some seriousness.
"You say!" Qi Yin looked at her seriously and said in a low voice.
"Brother, I did one thing wrong in my life, one mistake is ruined my life, the only thing left of me is the first meeting, I must not let the first meeting be harmed, Chen's mother and daughter are scheming and vicious, even if I take precautions, there is always a time when I am negligent, I also thought about finding a girl ring who can do something to protect her, but at this juncture, I can't help but believe it." Madame Yu frowned and said, she had never been at ease with Chen's mother and daughter.
"I understand, tomorrow I will send a reliable maid ring in, and I will definitely protect the safety of the first meeting." Qi Yin nodded, "Have you ever told these things about the first meeting?" ”
"She doesn't know, she's still worried about marrying into Palmetto City, brother, I'm actually a little uneasy, I don't know if this matter is the eldest brother's intention, or the Shangguan family really does it, you must inquire for me, as soon as the Shangguan family's dowry arrives, all this can't be changed." Madam Jade raised her eyebrows lightly and said in a low voice.
"I'll go back to my eldest brother to ask for an explanation, and after asking why, I'll let someone come and send you a message." Qi Yin stood up and prepared to leave.
Mrs. Yu sent him out, "Brother, if my father doesn't know about this...... Hide it for the time being, he is very old, and I really have no shame to let him continue to worry about me. ”
I'm afraid that my father already knows! Qi Yin secretly said in his heart, but he still promised verbally, "I understand, you go back, your face is so bad, you should go back to rest and rest, and don't forget to eat, I see that your food has not moved, you are like this, how to protect the first meeting." ”
Madam Jade smiled bitterly, "That's right." ”
"Don't send it, go back." Qi Yin stopped Madame Yu's footsteps, waved her back, and turned around and strode away from Xiuhe Courtyard.
Madame Jade sighed faintly and turned back into the house.
As soon as Qi Yin stepped into the Zhongwang Mansion, he was called to the study by Master Qi, Qi Zheng was also inside, his expression was solemn, and when he saw Qi Yin coming in, he sighed even more.
"Old, did you go to the Yu family today?" When Master Qi saw Qi Yin, the first thing he said was to ask.
Qi Yin didn't feel any strange, "Yes, father." ”
"Are you talking about the Shangguan family?" Old Man Qi frowned and asked with a snort.
"That's right." After a pause, Qi Yin said again, "The Shangguan family will marry for the first time, but father, your old idea?" ”
"Nonsense, how could I let my granddaughter go to be a concubine for others, when I am Yuyunsheng's bastard?" Old Man Qi was so angry that his beard was about to be cocked, and he glared at Qi Yin angrily.
When Qi Yin heard this, he said with a smile, "Father, you naturally don't want to be a concubine for Shangguan Hui when you first meet, but you do want Mrs. Shangguan to test Yu Yunsheng, and now Yu Yunsheng is indeed not worthy of being the son-in-law of our Zhongwang Mansion, father, do you say?" ”
"Hmph" Master Qi snorted heavily, this test really proved how correct he was to oppose Qi Jiao marrying Yu Yunsheng at that time.
"Father, you tried this time, and you tried to find out Yu Yunsheng's widowhood, but why didn't you tell me in advance, which made Jiao'er and Chu Jian worry, and I really thought that I would be married to Palmetto City when I first saw you." Qi Yin sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at his father's behavior.
"Even if I give the Shangguan family ten guts, he Shangguan Hui doesn't dare to ask my granddaughter of the Zhongwang Mansion to be a concubine, okay, Qi Yin, you go to the Yu family again, and bring me back the first time I saw and the concubine, I recognized the granddaughter of the first time, but it has nothing to do with the Yu family, then Yuyun Sheng wants to be the son-in-law of my Zhongwang Mansion." Old Master Qi shouted loudly.
Qi Yin and Qi Zheng glanced at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and Qi Zheng said, "Father, this matter has to be considered in the long run, and it is necessary to bring Chujian and Er'er back to the Zhongwang Mansion, and you can't act rashly." ”
"What do you mean by spontaneity? I am loyal to the king and never look at others, who dares to say that it is not? Master Qi snorted.
"Father, after all, Jiao'er is already a member of the Yu family, how easy is it for her to leave? You don't want to look at the eyes of others, but you can't ignore the words of others when you see it for the first time, your father must not forget, the first time you see it is still an unmarried girl, even if she is your granddaughter of King Zhong, but she is also the daughter of Yuyunsheng, once she leaves the Yu family, Yuyunsheng takes a leave of absence, and she is an abandoned woman. Qi Yin knew that his father was distressed about his daughter and granddaughter, but it was better for her to handle some things by herself.
"Hmph, how could I not know this." Master Qi glared at Qi Yin, his tone softened, and said to Qi Zheng, "Boss, didn't the Shangguan family send a letter?" How so? ”
Qi Zheng said softly, "The Shangguan family did propose marriage to Yuyunsheng, what they said was that they wanted Yuyunsheng's eldest daughter, and concubines have always given birth to daughters not as eldest daughters, so Yuyunsheng's bento is the first time I have seen it, and the Shangguan City Lord has no intention of breaking it, and the letter said that the dowry will be sent to the Yufu in a few days, and then we can watch a show." ”
"Oh? When will the dowry of the Shangguan family arrive at the Yu family? Master Qi raised his eyebrows and asked.
Qi Zheng glanced at the letter with a smile and said with a smile, "If there is no block, it will be about the twentieth day." ”
"Good! Boss, boss, on the twentieth day, you go to the Yu family, open your eyes and give me a good look at this scene! I see how he Yuyunsheng marries his daughter in style! Master Qi smiled coldly, slapped the table with his big palm, and his momentum was awe-inspiring.
Qi Yin and Qi Zheng smiled and agreed, ...... on the twentieth day It should be in the blink of an eye.
