This house has really not been occupied for a long time, although it is clean, but because it is too popular and not popular, it still looks Xiao Xiao, but it can also be seen from this Xiao Xiao when it was prosperous.

Why don't you live in such a good house?

Qi Yue looked up at the quaint and atmospheric house in front of him, with a plaque hanging on it, but there was no word.

Is.. It's weird.

"Did you clean up the pastor?" Here Chen asked.

The subordinate hurriedly replied that it was cleaned up.

"Move Yueniang's things over." Chan said.

As soon as these words came out, the three people who walked in front were stunned again and looked back at Chen.

Chen didn't pay attention to it, and Qi Yue naturally did as he pleased.

"You go and rest first." Chan said.

When family members meet, they naturally have to say something about their own family, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to be present.

Qi Yue nodded and followed the person who led the way, and there was a servant behind him carrying the cage.

"Xue Niang, who is this person?" The man couldn't help but ask, looking at the direction where Qi Yue was going, a mansion was faintly visible.

"She's Qi Yueniang." Chen said with a smile, and also looked at the house over there, "Shoumu Zhai, only she can live." ”

Who is Qi Yueniang? I haven't heard that there is a big family surnamed Qi in Yongqing Mansion?

The three of them looked at each other, and they were all puzzled.

Chen didn't say anything more, raised his feet and walked away.

The three had no choice but to follow.

But soon after, they came out in desperation.

"Brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, I grew up here, how can I not get used to it?" Chen said with a smile, "When I go to the house tomorrow, I won't go today." ”

The man looked at her and sighed.

"Whatever you want." He said.

"Such a big house, you guys can't do it, these people have to stay." The woman said, pointing to the seven or eight servant women and men who had followed.

Chen nodded and did not refuse.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." She said with a smile. watched the three of them get on the car and leave.

The courtyard door was closed, and although the lights were turned on, the lights were soon swallowed up by the huge mansion.

And after the carriage and horse of these three people traveled through a few streets, they entered a big mansion, the lights were bright in the night, the gate was brightly lit with gold lacquer beast face, the big lantern reflected the four big characters of the Deqing Mansion on the gatehouse, and the gatehouse in brown clothes in front of the door stood neatly, listening to what a person in charge said, and a few steps later was the corner gate. At this time, people came in and out, and when they saw the carriage coming, someone immediately opened the door. Split the road.

The carriage went straight in, and walked for a long time before it stopped in front of a photo wall.

A group of people poured out, with jewels in their faces, hugging the three of them through the hall and coming to a courtyard with the word "Xining" hanging on it.

"Xue Niang is back?"

"Why don't you come back?"

"How can the old mansion be inhabited?"

"I said I shouldn't have bought her in the first place."

The room was full of people talking. Sitting in the right seat, a white-haired old woman was obviously used to so much noise, and her expression was still indifferent.

"This kid has a strange temperament since he was a child, and you don't know it." She spoke.

As soon as she spoke, the sound of the room was gone.

"Mother, how old is Xue Niang, you still call her a child." The man who was called the third brother by the Chen family smiled.

"How old is Snow Lady?" The old woman asked, a little puzzled.

"Old lady. Xue Niang is the same year as the fourth master, and she will be forty-one after the wax moon. A chubby woman next to her smiled and put her arm on the old woman's shoulder.

The old woman was clearly surprised.

"Are you in your forties? How is it possible, not long ago he was still reading to me in a crisp voice. She said.

Everyone in the room laughed.

"Now let Xue Niang come, I can still read to you in a crisp voice." Everyone laughed.

The old woman did not laugh, but began to weep.

"Xue Niang was born with a pity and never met her father. You married her so far away, she was sick and dying, don't think I don't know if you hide it from me. She said.

The people in the room didn't dare to laugh, knowing that the old man's dementia had flareed up again, and they were busy coaxing. said that she would be able to see Xue Niang tomorrow, and the old woman would be fine.

He spoke for a while. Everyone retreated, leaving only Chen Sanye.

"Why did she come back all of a sudden this time? At the beginning, she refused to come to Beijing again and again. The old woman asked.

"I'm happy to see her and she's in good spirits." Chen Sanye said, "I only said that I wanted to come back, but I didn't say anything else." ”

The old woman sighed and said nothing.

"It's just that she brought one back this time." Chen Sanye said again.

"Is it her child? It's best to bring it back, this time our family will say goodbye, it's close. The old woman said.

"No, it's not her child, she didn't say anything, it's a woman." Chen Sanye said, "Moreover, let the woman live in Shoumuzhai." ”

The old woman sat up sharply.

"Your fourth uncle's shepherd?" She asked in surprise, "That house, Xue Niang won't even let your father in, what's the matter? ”

Yes, Chen Sanye was also full of doubts, how did this woman live in the house that was guarded by his sister like a guardian of life?

Who is this woman?

Qi Yue didn't know that the house she lived in was a forbidden place in the eyes of the Chen family, and for her, any room was the same, but it was just a place to sleep.

This room is good, although the furnishings are old for some years, but there is no smell of decay, which can be seen to be carefully cared for.

"Why is this plaque empty?" Qi Yue curiously pointed to the large blue-bottomed plaque hanging in the middle of the room and asked.

Ah Ru took Ah Hao and several of Chen's servants to tidy up the bedroom inside, and Qi Yue didn't need to do these things, she walked around the three thorough rooms.

A servant woman who was incense looked at her, but immediately bowed her head in fright.

"The slave doesn't know." She whispered.

I don't know, I just don't want to say it, this kind of subtext Qi Yue still understands, she shook her hand and walked away and didn't ask anymore.

Soon the bedroom was cleaned up, the servants of the Chen family all retreated, and Ah Rua Hao slept on the bed of the lower person in the outer room, and the long-distance travel was always very hard, especially in the era of ancient carriage traffic, Qi Yue fell asleep when he fell.

Nothing was said all night.

Qi Yue woke up with the quiet birdsong. I only felt refreshed, and Ah Rua Hao had already gotten up outside, and when she heard the movement, she came in and waited for her to get up.

Breakfast was ready here, in the dining room next to it, Qi Yue looked at the courtyard while walking, and when she saw her coming, the two girls were busy raising the silk brocade bamboo curtains.

The layout of this house is the same as that of Dingxihou, but it is a little different, the same opulence and luxury, but a little more elegant.

This may be the difference between the upstart and everyone.

"Did you sleep well?" Chan came in from outside.

"Good." Qi Yue turned around and smiled.

"I'm hungry. Hurry up and eat. Chen smiled and pulled her to sit down, and he also sat down on the side.

The meat and vegetable soup on the table is full of candied pastry.

"These are the characteristics of the capital. Do you taste it and see if it fits? Chen said with a smile.

Qi Yue nodded and picked up two casually to eat.

"Well, it's delicious." Her eyes lit up and she nodded in approval.

Chen's smile was even stronger.

"yes, you must love it." She looked at Qi Yue and said with full joy.

"Auntie, you can eat too." Qi Yue gave way.

Chen nodded. Eat slowly.

The food was eaten quickly, and the food on the table seemed to have not moved, but this was already Qi Yue's best to eat, and it could only be said that the Chen family had prepared too much, but fortunately, the Chen family didn't care. Just see that she is happy, and do not urge her to eat all the tables.

"It's okay to live in this house, right?" Chan asked.

They had walked out of the dining room and returned to the main hall.

"It's good." Qi Yue said with a smile.

Chan looked around the room.

"This is my father's house." She said.

Qi Yue was startled.

Isn't that the most honorable place in the house? Chen actually let her live?!

"I'm just like you. Didn't see my father. Chan continued.

Qi Yue was a little surprised.

Has Qi Yueniang ever seen her father, she doesn't know, is this the Chen family even without a father?

"I'm a widow." Chen turned his head to look at Qi Yue and smiled slightly, "When my mother was pregnant with me, my father died. ”

"That's a shame." Qi Yue said. With a bit of comfort.

"My mother said that I was very old when I was raised. Originally, I didn't want to have any more children, but my father always wanted a daughter. Chen Shi looked at the room again, brushed his hand over the table and chair and walked slowly, "At that time, my father was already in his forties, and the imperial doctor said that it was a daughter, and he was very happy..."

Qi Yue followed behind her, and the Chen family is also in his forties now, right? It's sad to remember a father you've never met, and listening is the best comfort.

"My mother said that at that time, my father named me in the study every day, unlike my two older brothers, who were all given by my grandfather." Chen said, turning back and smiling at Qi Yue.

"Fathers always love their daughters." Qi Yue also smiled.

She also thought of her father, although there were two daughters in the family, his father's love was already full.

I don't know if my father can bear it in the face of his own death.

She lowered her head, hiding her sadness.

Chen didn't notice, she looked into the room again, as if she was looking for her father's breath here.

"My father gave me a good name, and it was Snow." She continued, laughing again as she spoke, "Everyone laughed at him, saying that he had thought about it for so long and that he had this simple name. ”

Qi Yue raised his head and smiled slightly.

"But I like it very much, Xue Niang, Chen Xue, how nice it sounds." Chen laughed.

Qi Yue nodded in response.

"Give me a good name, and my father will go out." "And then he never came back." ”

The topic suddenly turned to this, and Qi Yue was a little stunned.

At this time, Chen walked back to the middle hall, looked up at the plaque without words in the middle, and his expression was no longer smiling.

"I haven't even come back with a corpse, and there are only clothes and graves in the ancestral grave." She said word by word, staring at the plaque with a fixed gaze, "But, father must be very happy, he died a well-deserved death, unlike them..." ”

This is where the words come to an abrupt end.

"I'll go home in a while, you can rest here or go out to play casually." She turned her head to look at Qi Yue and said with a smile.

The topic changed too quickly, and Qi Yue couldn't keep up for a while.
